Chapter 44: The Sin of Deception
"Well, Dad, it's only been a while, and your skills are better than mine. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"My father-in-law's talent in tea art is really unmatched. ”
Listening to Cai Yan and Fang Wen's sycophants, Cai Yong felt comfortable in his heart.
Drinking the tea he brewed, Cai Yong said, "Xiaowen, I heard Wang Situ say at the court meeting yesterday that you used to be a servant in his house?"
Cai Yan also secretly looked at Fang Wen, looking forward to Fang Wen's explanation.
"Father-in-law, let's not talk about whether what Wang Situ said is true or not, even if what he says is true, does my father-in-law dislike my background?" Fang Wen said,
"The ancients said that the prince and the prince would have a kind of Xiangning, and the hero did not ask where he came from. Han Gaozu was just a small farmer at the beginning. At that time, who would have known that he would create the Great Han Heavenly Empire? Even if I was born as a slave, I will be the master of my future!"
Cai Yan listened to Fang Wen's words, and his heart was full of pride. But she was a little puzzled, she could see that Fang Wen didn't care that others knew his origin. Then why didn't he admit it in front of Diao?
Cai Yong also nodded, he was also very satisfied with Fang Wen's answer.
"Xiaowen, yesterday in the court, Dong Xiangguo said that he wanted to crown you as a partial general, have you received the holy decree?"
"Dad, my husband refused. Cai Yan said.
"Huh?" Cai Yong stood up suddenly, "You, what did you say?"
"The husband refuses to be a partial general!" Cai Yan said again.
"Ah!" Cai Yong was startled, "You actually refused, do you know that you are already in trouble!"
Cai Yong hurriedly walked around, "No, you immediately follow me to Xiangguo's mansion and ask Xiangguo for guilt, hoping that Xiangguo can look at the old man's face and forgive you from your crimes." ”
Cai Yong said that he was about to pull Fang Wen out.
"Father-in-law, don't worry. Fang Wen hurriedly said.
"Dad, calm down. Cai Yan also said.
"You said to calm me down?" Cai Yong was in a hurry, "Do you know that if Xiangguo gets angry and puts Xiaowen in prison, you will be a widow!"
"Dad, listen to me tell you, it's not what you think!" Cai Yan pulled Cai Yong, wanting to explain to Cai Yong.
But suddenly, Cai Yong fell backwards.
Cai Yan was startled and shouted, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Fang Wen helped Cai Yong and said, "Don't worry, my father-in-law is fine." ”
"What's going on?" Cai Yan asked.
"I gave him strong sleeping pills and he was fine with a little sleep. Fang Wen said with a smile.
Cai Yan suddenly understood, "Okay, the method you said turned out to be this!"
"Otherwise?" Fang Wen said with a smile, "Come as hard as you and let your father-in-law scold?"
"You're smart, okay. Cai Yan said, "Let's hurry up and make a contract, my father will wake up later." ”
"After taking strong sleeping pills, it is so easy to wake up. ”
"There's something else going on later, how long do you want my dad to sleep?" Cai Yan blamed.
"Okay, I'll complete the contract as soon as possible and let my father-in-law wake up. Fang Wen said and took out a needle and wine glass, and signed an equal contract with Cai Yong.
A contract of equality, of course. If it is a master-servant contract, Cai Yan has to fight with him.
After a while, Cai Yong woke up.
"What's wrong with me?" Cai Yong said, rubbing his forehead.
"Dad, you just fainted suddenly, but it frightened me and my husband. Good thing you're okay. Cai Yan helped Cai Yong up and said.
"It seems that staying up late these two days is too sad. Cai Yong himself misunderstood.
Cai Yan frowned when she heard this, although she knew that Cai Yong was not in a coma because she was hurt by reading, but she was still very worried, "Dad, you stay up late at night every day to read? ”
"There are so many good books, I feel uncomfortable if I don't finish reading them. ”
"It's all your fault, give my dad so many books! I'm not allowed to send books to my dad in the future!" Cai Yan glared at Fang Wen.
Fang Wen nodded innocently.
"What do you blame him for?" Cai Yong sat down and said, "If you have a good book in the future, you must send it to me." ”
Fang Wen was helpless, he really didn't know who to listen to.
"Oops, I forgot!" Cai Yong said and stood up again and pulled Fang Wen and said, "Come with me to Xiangguo Mansion immediately to make amends." ”
"Dad, listen to me. Cai Yan told Cai Yong everything she knew about Fang Wen.
"I see!" Cai Yong glared at Fang Wen, "You kid!"
"Father-in-law, forgive me, my son-in-law is really a last resort. Fang Wen hurriedly apologized.
"Hey, what can I blame you, even my most precious daughter is married to you, I just hope you don't forget my old bones. Cai Yong said.
"Dad, if he dares to forget you, I will ......," Cai Yan threatened.
"How about you?" Fang Wen asked with a smile.
"I'll ignore you. Cai Yan said angrily.
Fang Wen suddenly laughed, "Okay, I won't let you ignore me." ”
Fang Wen said to Cai Yong again, "Father-in-law, you can let all the domestic servants come in and sign the master-servant contract later." ”
"What, you can't trust me?" Cai Yong said.
"Dad, you know that's not what my husband meant. ”
"I know, in fact, I can't trust my domestic servants, and I have to read books secretly for the past two days. ”
Cai Yong is afraid that others will know that he has so many fine books. Otherwise, he would be reluctant to borrow it from him.
Subsequently, Fang Wen gave all the slaves of the Cai Mansion to the blood contract.
At noon, the three of them ate together, and Cai Yong had never eaten before, but he was no longer surprised. Now no matter what strange things Fang Wen did, he didn't feel strange anymore.
In the middle of the afternoon, Fang Wen and Cai Yan went home. When you go back, you can't stay at your mother's house.
The next day, it was time for the pilgrimage meeting again.
Above the court, Yuan Kui said, "Xiangguo, the day before yesterday, you promoted Fang Wen to become a partial general, why didn't you see him come to thank him today?"
"The general is a sesame petty official, and people don't look down on him at all, so he resigned. Dong Zhuo said.
Dong Zhuo's words fell, and there was a lot of discussion below.
"What, a former servant of him, how dare he disobey his orders? Who gave him such courage?"
"The holy decrees are all issued in the name of His Majesty, and this person dares to disobey the order, which simply does not take His Majesty seriously. This is truly a contempt for the imperial power, and it is unforgivable!"
"The one who was sent to read the decree was a person from Xiangguo, and perhaps this person did not want to be with him. ”
"It's also possible. But if he dares to resist the decree, isn't he afraid of being convicted of bullying the king?"
Dong Zhuo responded to the following discussion, and was extremely angry in his heart. He couldn't wait to lift the three-foot sword and click those who were disrespectful.
This is just Dong Zhuo's idea, he is not yet a fool to the point of wantonly slashing and killing the minister. Otherwise, who will govern the country for him?
However, Dong Zhuo would not let these people talk nonsense, only to see him slam the table and shout, "Shut up for me!"
