Chang'an Situ Mansion

"Uncle Wang, please let me see my father, just see me..."

Wang Yun sat on the bamboo mat, holding a teacup in his hand, and sipping fragrant tea. In front of Wang Yun, a woman knelt on the ground, crying and pleading.

I saw that the woman was dressed in a light green dress, with a thin waist restrained by a cloud belt, which showed that she was not holding a hand, and a Qibao coral hairpin in her hair, reflecting her face like a hibiscus. However, at this moment, her eyes were filled with tears, and her pear blossom with rain was distressing. I believe that any man will not ignore her heartbroken expression at the moment.

It's a pity that Wang Yun in front of this woman seems to think that the tea in the teacup is more attractive than her, and she is not moved at all.

After a while, Wang Yun finally put down the teacup, reached out with both hands, and explained softly: "Niece Zhaoji, it's not that your uncle doesn't want to help you, it's that your uncle really can't do anything." Dong thief is a national thief, and it is a blessing for the country to get rid of Dong thief, but Bo Jiao cried for him in front of everyone, which caused the anger of the people, and they all had to punish Bo Jiao severely, otherwise it would be difficult to calm the people's hearts. I have been friends with Uncle for many years, so how can I see him suffer? If there is a way, my uncle will definitely help him. Alas!"

That's right, the woman in front of Wang Yun is Cai Yong's eldest daughter Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji.

After returning to Chang'an from Hedong Wei's house that day, he was shocked to learn that his father had been thrown into prison, which was tantamount to an earth-shattering thunderbolt for Cai Yan. It is also thanks to Cai Yan's firm determination that he did not panic when such a thing happened. first comforted the people in the house, and then Cai Yan asked his father's friends to inquire, and learned what happened, although he felt that his father was a little too kind, Dong Zhuo was coercing Cai Yong to work for him, and now that he is dead, why should he mourn for him? However, after all, it is his father, and his father is a man who values kindness and righteousness, which is not a bad thing. So, Cai Yan went around to plead with his father's friends.

However, most of my father's friends said that they couldn't do anything, after all, there were many people watching Cai Yong's affairs in Chang'an, and if he didn't give the people an explanation, it would be unreasonable. As Cai Yong's friends, they can naturally understand Cai Yong's personality. It's a pity that their ability is not enough to help Cai Yong. There are also some friends of Cai Yong, but they avoid it, so as not to be thought that they are Dong Zhuo's comrades.

When Cai Yan was disheartened, he finally had his father's friend to guide him, and now the power in Chang'an is controlled by Situ Wang Yun, as long as Wang Yun relaxes, then everything is not a problem.

So, Cai Yan came to Wang Yun's mansion today to plead.

Hearing Wang Yun say this, Cai Yan defended: "In ancient times, Boya stroked the qin, and he had to meet the bosom friend Zhongzi period, and after the death of Zhongzi period, the piano was broken and the strings were broken, and he would no longer play the piano for life." Although Dong Thief is a national thief, he has kindness to my father, and morally speaking, my father mourns for him, which is my father's benevolence and righteousness, not that he is Dong Zhuo's party. ”

"Zhaoji's niece, uncle and uncle have been friends for many years, how can they not know who he is? However, the people don't think so, and many students in Chang'an City have written books to severely punish him. Now my uncle is powerless!"

In fact, the students are not brainless angry youths, they read the way of Confucius and Mencius, and they can understand Cai Yong's approach. As for the common people, in their eyes, Cai Yong is a famous Confucian in the world, so how can he be Dong Zhuo's party? It's just that some officials who are jealous of Cai Yong are secretly looking for people to make trouble, and they want to severely punish Cai Yong. Now in Wang Yun's mouth, it has become that most of the people are dissatisfied with Cai Yong's behavior, which is obviously exaggerating the facts.

Cai Yan didn't know what the people thought, so he didn't know whether what Wang Yun said was true or false. But now she only wanted to see her father first, so she begged again: "Uncle, I only hope to see my father now, and I hope that my uncle can fulfill it." ”

Wang Yun frowned in embarrassment, and hesitated: "Niece Zhaoji, originally you wanted to see Bo Jiao, it was not a difficult matter. However, now because the people have made a big fuss, the Son of Heaven knows about Bo Jiao. Niece, you also know that the Son of Heaven was previously controlled by Dong Thief and was devastated, and now he is extremely strict with those who have anything to do with Dong Thief. Therefore, the Son of Heaven has decreed that no one should come into contact with Beth, and that he should be judged on a certain day. But niece, don't worry, as a child, it is a matter of course that you want to see your parents, and your uncle will intercede with the Son of Heaven after he goes to court, and he will definitely let your father and daughter meet. I'll let you know when there's news, how about that?"

Cai Yan Yingying bowed, her eyes were red, and she hissed: "My niece has thanked my uncle first, and after this incident, my niece will definitely thank my uncle again." ”

At this point in the conversation, it was useless for Cai Yan to continue to stay in Wang Yun's mansion, and after a salute, he left.

Wang Yun looked at Cai Yan's delicate body, a trace of fire flashed in his eyes, Wang Yun had relationships with many famous women in the house, and he was naturally extremely coveted for a beauty like Cai Yan. However, Cai Yan is not at the most desperate time now, if he shows his thoughts, he will definitely be spurned by Cai Yan. When Cai Yong is solved, when Cai Yan is in the most helpless, he will help Cai Yan again, and then Cai Yan will not become his confiner.

Thinking of this, Wang Yun's heart was hot again, and he immediately shouted outside the door: "Come on, call Tong'er to my room, I have something important to discuss with her." ”

Not to mention what filthy and filthy things happened between Wang Yun and his righteous daughter, Cai Yan walked out of Situ Mansion in a daze, although the sky was still so blue, but in Cai Yan's eyes, it was gray.

Cai Yan is a talented girl, not an ignorant girl in the depths of the boudoir. In this incident of eradicating Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun should be the first to take the lead, no one can compare, it can be said that today's Chang'an is completely under Wang Yun's control. As long as Wang Yun is willing to agree, Cai Yan wants to see Cai Yong, so why should the Son of Heaven nod. Although Wang Yun behaved in the demeanor of an elder, Cai Yan still saw the naked possessiveness that inadvertently swept by in Wang Yun's eyes. As early as when he was in Luoyang, there were rumors in the city that Wang Yun** had a relationship with his righteous daughter. Now it seems that this rumor is true.

It's just that her father is in prison, and if she is cornered, she may have to commit to Wang Yun. She's just a weak woman, what can she do?

Suddenly, a figure flashed in his mind, and he had agreed with him to rescue his father from the Dong thief. However, whether he knew that Dong Thief had been eliminated, and her father still did not escape. At this moment, Cai Yan is so helpless, which makes people pity.

"Selling cut cakes, authentic Western Regions cut cakes, it doesn't matter if you don't buy them, you can come and try them." ”

"Bang!"

Cai Yan, who was moving forward in a daze, suddenly found that she seemed to have hit something, and when she came back to her senses, she saw five men in Western Regions costumes in front of her, looking at her with angry faces.

"Girl, how did you walk, you knocked over our cake cut like this, and you have to pay compensation. ”

A man wearing a Western Regions hat and a beard on his face yelled viciously at Cai Yan.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Cai Yan apologized again and again, just now because he was thinking about his father, he didn't pay attention to the front, so he bumped into the other party. Therefore, Cai Yan said apologetically: "I will compensate for your losses, I don't know how much this cake is worth?"

"Hey, hey!"

The man who spoke first had a ruthless face and said gloomily: "Compensation? Can you afford it? Do you know how much this cart of cake cutting is worth? At least a thousand taels of gold, you can't afford to pay it according to your appearance, let's go to the government to reason." ”

"Ahh

Even if he was upset because of his father's affairs, Cai Yan couldn't help but exclaim when he heard the value of what the man said at this moment. It's the first time she's seen this cake, and she doesn't know how much it's worth. But looking at the eyes of the five men who seemed to kill their father's enemies, maybe they were really worth a thousand taels of gold as they said.

Although Dong Zhuo was brutal, the merchants of the Western Regions who were trading in Chang'an City, even if they knew that they were rich, Dong Zhuo did not make a move. Moreover, even if he wanted to attack these merchants in the Western Regions, his advisors would advise. If you want to develop your power, businessmen are indispensable, if you poison these businessmen, who will come to your territory to do business, no money, how can you afford to raise soldiers, how to build soldiers? Therefore, when the war starts, as long as you are not brain-dead, you will not attack businessmen for no reason. Unless they dealt in prohibited items such as weapons and armor, so even though Chang'an was under Dong Zhuo's rule, the merchants of the Western Regions still had frequent contacts.

Although she knew that the value of the other party's belongings was very high, Cai Yan didn't think of shirking her responsibility, so she begged in a low voice: "Brothers, the little girl doesn't have so much money on her body now, can you tell me where she lives, and when I have enough money, I will return it to you, okay?"

"Humph!"

Another merchant from the Western Regions, whose face was white and fat, snorted coldly and sneered, "If you return it to us then, I'm afraid you'll run away long ago." Needless to say, let's go to the government and ask the official to give us a review. ”

Cai Yan is in a hurry, she is busy dealing with her father's affairs now, how can she have time to go to the government, maybe she will cause trouble for her father because of this. After thinking for a moment, Cai Yan gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "Since the eldest brothers don't believe in the little girl, can you ask a few eldest brothers to follow me to the mansion to withdraw money?"

The five of them exchanged glances in the air for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

Although there are a lot of gold taels, Cai Yong still has a lot of valuable items that he treasures, and he can use these items to solve the five of them first. Now that Cai Yong is in prison, Cai Yan doesn't want to cause anything else.

Although Cai Yong is very famous, there are not many servants in the family, and there is an old housekeeper who has followed Cai Yong since he was a child, and an old mother who takes care of Cai Yan's sister. When Cai Yong fled to Wudi, he married a scholar woman in Wudi, and after giving birth to Cai Yan's sister, the woman died of illness. When Cai Yong was in Wudi, he had a deep relationship with Nanyang Taishou Yang, and he wanted to put his little daughter in the sheep house to raise, but the little daughter seemed to know that her father was leaving, and she cried and mourned abnormally, so Cai Yong had to take it with her.

Cai Yan invited the five people to the living room, and then went to fetch the treasure to compensate the five people. Suddenly, Cai Yan heard a voice behind him, turned his head to look, but saw five people kneeling on one knee with respectful expressions.

"You are..."

Cai Yan looked at the five people with a surprised face, it seemed that she owed money, not the other party, what did they mean by doing this?
