Chapter 37 The Banquet of the Marquis of Guannai

Kannai Hou Mansion.

Cai Yang and Cai Xiao sat opposite each other and tasted tea.

Cai Yang raised the teacup and took a sip, and asked unhurriedly, "Have you had contact with that kid from the Wang family?" ”

After filling Cai Yang's tea, Cai Xiao nodded and replied: "Well, yesterday I heard a few people in the restaurant talking about Wen'er marrying him, I didn't hold back for a while, and at this time Wang Huan's kid came in, Wen'er pulled me and the kid was like being kicked in the head by a donkey, and I did it, if Wen'er hadn't stopped him, I would have given him a lesson for a lifetime yesterday." ”

After listening to his narration, Cai Yang's cloudy gaze became fierce: "This son is fourteen years old and is rich, and he has saved Wen'er's life, and his appearance is not inferior to you, and if you stay, there will be endless troubles." ”

Cai Xiao was taken aback: "When was Wen'er saved by him?" ”

Cai Xiao told him what had happened, Cai Xiao fell into deep thought, and whispered worriedly: "That Wen'er ......"

Cai Yang saw his thoughts and comforted: "Don't worry, Wen'er is fine." ”

Yesterday's incident at Bafang Restaurant made him lose face, plus everything Cai Yang said today, Wang Huan will definitely not be able to avoid a skin-to-skin blind date after saving Wen'er, whether it is out of face or out of his own desire to protect, Cai Xiao regards Wang Huan as a thorn in the flesh.

In the boudoir, Cai Wen, who was dressed in light red home clothes, was lying on the embroidery bed and recalled yesterday's events: Since Wang Huan met for the first time, as long as he saw me, which time did he not greet me with a smile? If it weren't for the secret feelings, the car wouldn't have been given to me, but why did you have such a big conflict with my brother yesterday, my brother is a person who will take revenge, will they fight? ……

After yesterday's incident, Wang Huan was like a nobody, he should eat, drink, and work, and he didn't take that bit of to heart at all, and concentrated on studying the map.

On the map, Wang Huan marked the layout of the various forces.

In Lujiang City, there are only more than 300 troops under the direct management of the imperial court, and they are the kind of ruffians who have nothing to do all day long, idle and have no combat effectiveness.

After Cai Xiao took over, the strength of the county soldiers increased to more than 900 people in just a few days, although the equipment is not as sophisticated as the regular troops of the imperial court, but it also has a certain combat effectiveness, well, the combat effectiveness of cannon fodder.

The military power of Lujiang City is actually in the hands of Cai Xiao, but he is still subject to the county order, and without the direct order of the county order, he cannot mobilize the troops, and there are less than 200 people in the county soldiers who are his descendants.

Originally, there were four bandits outside the city, and after the smallest one was eliminated, only three forces remained: Zhou Zhi, Lei Xu, and Bai Huan.

The three forces are entrenched within the range of 100 miles of the Lujiang River, the imperial court has organized many encirclements and suppressions, but they have failed to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, Zhou Zhi's small minions have 600 people are the largest leaders, Lei Xu, Bai Huan's small minions are only about 200 people.

The three forces make a living by robbing past caravans and plundering villages, and there has never been an incident of bandits looting the city.

After marking the map of forces, Wang Huan came up with an idea - to open a dart game.

Compared with the management of law and order in ancient times, it is a bad word.

Larger towns are okay, at least some small troops can defend them, and in the wilderness, and even on official roads, the roadblocks and robberies are like modern high-speed toll booths, and the people at the bottom are terrified when they go far away.

After Wang Huan discovers a new business opportunity, he makes a table and calculates the cost.

After a long time, Wang Huan sighed helplessly, tore up the paper and threw it away.

Although the dart master can be quickly put into the combat unit in the future, but the training of a dart master has a long cycle and high cost, this business model is like an advertisement, and it cannot be recognized by the public in a short period of time.

And even if the route is a short-distance route, you must also find out the nearby bandit forces, and if you have a good relationship with the bandits, you have to send a lot of silver, so that people will not rob you, the idea is good, but it is possible that you will not be able to make ends meet, and Wang Huan directly chose to give up if you are not sure.

Over the next few days, Wang Huan was thinking about new business opportunities, making more money, and having enough money to build an armed force to be reckoned with before the Yellow Turban Uprising.

After a few days, the notice list in Lujiang City posted a wanted notice, and there were bandits who flowed into Lujiang City, and the gate of Lujiang City was closed all day long, and there was a curfew every night, which made people panic.

A part of the county soldiers cooperated with the yamen officials to patrol throughout the day to investigate suspicious characters.

Among them, the key target of the investigation is the passengers in the taxis of Ping An Automobile.

This will always happen during the course of the investigation, a check to eliminate suspicion and re-start the road just walked not far, and was stopped by another team of patrolling county soldiers for inspection, so that the passengers would rather walk by themselves than take the car, for a while, the business of Ping An Car Dealers was bleak, only advertising costs and Kui Ge's protection fees can still bring a little income.

After three days of lockdown, Cai Xiao stood on the city tower, grinning and showing his white teeth, looking at the empty street, the taxi of Ping An Che had disappeared without a trace.

Wang Huan couldn't help it, and asked Yang Shan to carry thirty taels of gold to follow him to the county order to visit the county order.

After seeing the county order, he flattered and offered gold to dot the county, and the county order was happy.

The next day, Cai Xiao was ordered to remove the patrolling county soldiers, open the city gate, and only leave the yamen officials to carry out simple patrols.

Ping An Auto Dealers resumed its daily operations, but this incident made Wang Huan understand that the eldest young master of the Cai family was anxious by himself and wanted to fight with him.

If there is no business at hand, Wang Huan will not hesitate to play with him to the end, but people are officials, I am for the people, since ancient times, the people and officials have no good end, and so many people still count on themselves to raise, he can't act rashly, he can only swallow this breath, revenge is not bravery, endurance is bravery.

When Wang Huan was studying the map in the study, Cai Fu sent someone to send a message for the first time, inviting him to come to the house tonight to talk about it, release his suspicions, and thank him for saving Cai Wen's life by the way.

Wang Huan smiled and read the content of the post, shook his head helplessly, and Yang Shan asked on the side: "Young master, Guan Neihou wants to invite you to dinner at home?" ”

Wang Huan nodded and said, "I'm afraid that there is no good wine and no good banquet." ”

"Are you still going?" Yang Shan asked worriedly.

Wang Huan put down the invitation in his hand and said: "Go, why don't you go, the big family takes care of the food, and if you don't eat for nothing, you won't eat, and if you don't go, what will outsiders think of me?" What will you say about me behind my back? ”

"Phew~"

The coachman tightened the reins in his hand, and the black-and-gray Raventon stopped in front of Cai's house.

Wang Huan was still dressed in a simple outfit, with a white robe and long hair tied up, and walked off the carriage elegantly, looking up at the shining Cai Mansion, the pillars of the light gate were much more luxurious than his own home.

Looking up at the plaque on the Zhu door, just look at the color to know that the material is not ordinary, the two families at the door are dressed cleaner than themselves, standing on both sides of the gate with their heads held high, Wang Huan praised it, this surface work is better than the county order.

The housekeeper of Cai's mansion pulled up the luxurious robe with his right hand, stepped out of the door, and smiled at Wang Huan: "The prince is here?" Come with the old slave. ”

He made a gesture of please.

Wang Huan didn't say a word, and followed the housekeeper into the house, leaving the coachman to wait outside the door.

The two of them didn't say anything all the way, passed through the front yard along the corridor, and came to the middle courtyard, Cai Yang and Cai Xiao walked out of the hall door, and Cai Yang smiled and complimented him from afar: "Wang Gongzi came to the cold house, making the cold house shine." ”

Wang Huan despised the old man in his heart: Nima, is this still a cold house? What would you call if you lived in a humble house? Disgusting me?

Although he was disdainful in his heart, he still said with a smile on his face: "Where is it, the mansion of Master Hou Cai in Guannei is really splendid, shining, magnificent, so that the younger generation, the countryman, has opened his eyes and gained knowledge, and the Palace of the Son of Heaven is afraid that it is nothing more than that, and it is a blessing for the younger generations to be invited to the banquet." ”

Cai Yang was stunned for a moment and said secretly: This kid has a good mouth! Stretched out his hand and took Wang Huan's hand and walked in and said: "Wang Gongzi is tormenting the old man, who in Lujiang doesn't know that Wang Gongzi is rich and rich, and who doesn't know that Ping An Che is going to make money every day?" Wang Gongzi was ashamed of the old man. ”

Entering the dining room, the mahogany round table has been placed on the delicacies of the mountains and seas, even the material of the wine pot and wine bottle is glass, and the pattern decoration of the entire dining room Wang Huan has only seen in those five-star hotels before the crossing, looking around the entire dining room, the whole person was stunned, and couldn't help but secretly think: I'm going to ...... This is a local tyrant.

Seeing Wang Huan and Tubaozi entering the city, Cai Xiao snorted coldly disdainfully.

After a short stunned moment, Wang Huan didn't wait for the owner's invitation, consciously pulled out the chair and sat down, picked up the chopsticks, stared at the dishes on the table, and didn't look at the father and son.

Picked up an unknown piece of meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said vaguely: "Let's talk while eating." ”

This time, Cai Yang was stunned, and he was dominant! How could the old man ever see such a rude person? Holding back his anger, he still sat on the chair pulled out by Cai Xiao with a smile and said, "Gongzi is really a man of temperament. ”

Cai Wen, who was hiding behind the curtain, looked at this former life-saving benefactor, covered her mouth and smiled, but she didn't let Wang Huan see the smile, otherwise he would be petrified and stunned.

Cai Yang looked at Wang Huan, who had no food in front of him, and stuffed all kinds of food into his mouth like a starving ghost, and said angrily to Cai Xiao: "Xiao'er, the incident of Bafang Restaurant was provoked by you, so don't you apologize to Wang Gongzi quickly." ”

Hearing this, Cai Xiao put on a smiling face that was not much better than crying, raised the wine bottle in his hand with both hands and said to Wang Huan, who was holding a big bone in his left hand and a vegetable in his right hand: "Wang Gongzi, what happened a few days ago was my fault, and I shouldn't transfer my anger to you, I hope you don't care about the villain." ”

After swallowing a piece of meat with difficulty, Wang Huan put down the bone in his hand and waved his hand: "I'm sorry, I'm still young, and minors can't drink." ”
