The pottery merchant was astonished.

Seeing Guo Jia's white palms and sloppy smile, the pottery merchant snorted heavily: "You are the first person who dared to ask me for money in person and still survived three counts, you should take care of your own life." Great to be proud of.”

"It doesn't matter." Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders casually, and said: "Guo is not your aide, but he was hijacked by you. Just now, after careful consideration, Guo was arrested by you. There are people around you staring at you and you can't run away, so you can just let it go, but a kid like you is not qualified to be served by Guo Mou. In a word, every time you ask a question, you will ask for a piece of gold. Guo Mou felt happier."

The potter said in a low voice, "Then what if I don't agree?"

"If you don't agree, you don't agree. If Guo doesn't make a plan, just make a plan."

The potter touched his chin and thought about it carefully, as if he was considering the feasibility of this matter.

After a long while, he nodded and said: "Alright, you can tell me first, Chen Deng is the magistrate of Dongyang County, and he is hundreds of miles away from here. What is his purpose here?"

Guo Jia chuckled and said, "I want to make friends with you."

The pottery merchant was surprised when he heard the words, and said in amazement, "Why does he want to make friends with me?"

Guo Jia clasped his hands and said frantically, "This is your second question."

The potter's face darkened, and he reached out his hand and took out the small short crossbow that he carried with him from his back waist, and pulled the string with a "stab".

Guo Jia looked at the short crossbow in the potter's hand, unconsciously, subconsciously reached out and touched the bun on his head, showing lingering fear.

Afterwards, the prodigal son laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, it's all one thing after all, it's not a problem, we are all Yuan Shao's godsons, whoever is with whom."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia asked mysteriously: "Do you know why Guo knows about Chen Deng?"

The pottery merchant shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Of course it's because of his family background."

Chapter 166 Chen Deng's Closeness

Seeing the bewildered look on the pottery merchant's face, Guo Jia seemed very happy. He belonged to a disadvantaged group, and was randomly manipulated by the boy surnamed Tao. Guo Jia has been feeling aggrieved for a while.

As a man full of talent, but under the control of others due to lack of hard power, Guo Jia has been looking for opportunities to turn this game over.

Today, I finally had an opportunity that seemed to be able to turn against the customer. Although it was just a psychological self-consolation, Guo Jia was still very happy.

This is the so-called spirit of Ah Q.

"Are you not familiar with Chen Yuanlong's family background?" Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and asked the potter who obviously didn't know much about it.

"Are you familiar with Chen Deng's family background?" The potter asked back.

"It's okay." Guo Jia said with a smile: "Guo knows all the famous nobles in the thirteen states by heart."

The pottery merchant looked at him suspiciously, and wondered, "You're a poor boy, why do you remember so many aristocratic families?"

Guo Jia smiled and replied leisurely: "Of course, the so-called know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Sooner or later, the family members of the gentry will be on the political platform of the world. You can rely on your familiarity with them to kill them all at once."

The pottery merchant was stunned when he heard the words, and at the same time, he had to despise the character of this ghostly gentleman.

He kept so many powerful figures in his mind so that he could find a chance to kill them in the future?

Dade is really missing.

"Then tell me, what is Chen Deng's family background like?"

Guo Jia said slowly: "Speaking of which, Chen Yuanlong is indeed very interesting. Compared with his family, the four major families of Mi, Wang, Cao and Zhao in Xuzhou can't even put the table on the table. His father Chen Gui is Prime Minister Pei Guo, his uncle Chen Cong was the prefect of Ruyin, his uncle Chen Yu was the prefect of Wujun, from his ancestor Chen Qiuguan to Taiwei, his great-grandfather Chen Qian was the prefect of Guanghan."

The pottery merchant looked at Guo Jia who was so precious to him in amazement, and was a little bit at a loss with his mouth gaping.

"You have dug out four generations of his ancestors, so why are you just thinking about killing him? You must have thought about killing his whole family."

Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and said, "Is it unusual to know yourself and the enemy? The names and family backgrounds of the officials above the county level or above the township ratio of 100 shi, Guo Mou within [-] years know all of them."

Tao Shang fixedly looked at Guo Jia, and said, "Then how much do you know about my Danyang Tao family?"

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Don't worry, Guo only knows about your father Tao Cishi's life, and nothing else. You don't need to be afraid that I will know your details."

The pottery merchant looked at him curiously and said, "Why don't you know?"

"It's not that simple. If Guo doesn't know, it means that in the four generations of your Tao family, except for your father, no one can survive to be above the prefect. As a noble family, it is somewhat weak."

Well, being despised by the ancients again, potters feel ashamed.

The two brought the topic back to the Chen Deng family.

"Among the four generations of the Chen family, the county guards and feudal lords have slipped away, and there are also the three princes like the Taiwei. Logically, their power should be far above the four major families. However, judging from the current situation, the Chen family is What Xuzhou did seems to be low-key." The pottery said thoughtfully.

Guo Jia said slowly: "This is the shrewdness of the Chen family. Although Guo does not know the members of the Chen family in Xiapi, judging from the grand occasion of their family, since Chen Gui's retirement, his eldest son Chen Deng has been hiding and shrinking his head all the time, but a person with such a family background must have no ambitions, especially today's behavior of him coming from a hundred miles away to reward the army, it can prove that this person must not be trying to make a name for himself , and have great ambitions, but he has not met the Ming Lord, or he is waiting for an opportunity, otherwise, based on his family background, it is not impossible for him to enter the palaces of various princes with the power of a state's talents and learning."

The potter's eyeballs rolled around, and after a while he said in doubt: "What do you mean, Chen Deng came here today, did he want to inspect me? He took me as that opportunity?"

Guo Jia took out the wine gourd from behind and took a sip of it "gulu gulu": "It's very possible."

The pottery merchant frowned, feeling rather puzzled: "But I'm just a white person now. Since he has such a family background, why should he investigate me? If it's because of my status as the eldest son of Xuzhou governor, why didn't he take the initiative to reveal his identity?" good?"

Guo Jia smiled, pointed at the potter, and said, "I'm not sure about other Guo, but I think you must not be white now!"

The pottery merchant couldn't help laughing angrily when he heard the words: "Am I still in vain, haven't I figured it out myself?"

"How long have you been away from Xuzhou?" Guo Jia said slowly.

The potter lowered his head and calculated carefully: "It will take a year to say the least."

"In a year, things are not people. If there is an official seal from the imperial court, I am afraid that it should be sent to the Governor's Mansion in Xuzhou first, and it should not be sent directly to you, a wandering man who is on an expedition. Is this the reason?"

Guo Jia's words made the potters quite surprised. The imperial court would have an express seal for him?

In other words, Dong Zhuo will have an express seal for himself?

I was the one who separated dozens of ministers from him during the Battle of Bianshui.According to Dong Zhuo's fierce and ruthless personality, if he doesn't cramp himself and rub his bones on the ground, he will already give himself face, and he will give himself an official position?

"What basis do you have for what you said?" The potter looked at Guo Jia suspiciously.

Guo Jia spread his hands, and said helplessly: "It's all guessed by Guo himself. There is no evidence. Guo has been away from his hometown for a long time. You may not know some news. If you don't know, where can I find out?" ?”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia showed a smile and said: "No matter what, you should go to win over Chen Deng now. This is an opportunity for you, and I don't think you need to pay special attention to whether you are white or not." You won't find out until you return to Pengcheng. Chen Deng must know the details. You can ask him later. He didn't say anything just because of the arrogance of etiquette. If you treat each other with sincerity, he will definitely know everything about you. In other words, as for the long conversation between you and me today, this is the first time this business has been done, so even if it’s cheaper for Mr. Guo, it’s enough to charge you a piece of gold, and you can pay back the debt after you enter the house.”

The potter frowned and looked at Guo Jia, and said hey, "Treat me with sincerity? I treat you with sincerity, why don't you know everything about me?"

Guo Jia put away her smile, and snorted, "I figured it out, you kidnapped Guo, besides, have you ever seen someone who treats each other with sincerity and sends his men to ambush me every day with a broken crossbow? Now I wake up in the middle of the night and feel like I can't stop peeing!"

"Then why are you still telling me so much?"

"Isn't it just to earn some money, and it will be considered a burden to find an opportunity to run back to the hometown in the future."
