Cai Yong's mansion is located in the west of the city, but also a huge mansion covering an area of dozens of acres, Cai Yongguan Sima, is the second person in Quanzhou Jingluo Mansion second only to Changshi Zhang Lan, he is in charge of finance, but also an important figure in the Cai family of the second family in Quanzhou, his father Cai Yu was the history of Fuzhou Thorn, and is currently the head of the Cai family.

Ten years ago, Cai Yu and Yao Guangping married their sons and daughters, and the eldest son Cai Yongying married Yao Guangping's second daughter as his wife, and he became Yao Guangping's account under Cangcao to join the army, Yao Guangping established a feudal town, and he served as Sima until now.

The movement in the city was too big, Cai Yong was also awakened, and soon the housekeeper sent him the news that tens of thousands of Jin troops had entered the city, Cai Yong was so frightened that he almost fainted, he hid in the inner room, and kept praying for God to spare his life.

At this time, the butler's voice came from outside, "Master, General Zhou is here!" ”

"That.... That General Zhou? Cai Yong's voice trembled.

"General Zhou Li!"

Cai Yong's spirits perked, Zhou Li was fine? He walked out of the inner room tremblingly and came to the middle hall, only to see Zhou Li in armor standing straight in the hall.

"General Zhou, how is the situation now?" He asked, walking into the lobby.

Zhou Fei smiled slightly: "The fighting outside should have stopped, the Yao family's army is gone, Yao Shun has also surrendered, it can be said that the Yao family clan town is about to end." ”

Cai Yong's eyes widened, "You..... Have you surrendered too? ”

Zhou Fei shook his head and said: "Actually, I am not called Zhou Li, but Zhou Fei, I am the general of the Jin Dynasty, the deputy commander of the scout battalion, and the King of Jin is kind, and I am the general of Sanpin Yunlu, and I am given the title of Gaotang County Duke." ”

Cai Yong was so shocked that he took two steps back, sat on the ground, looked at Zhou Li with his mouth wide open, and couldn't say a word.

Zhou Fei stepped forward and squatted in front of Cai Yong, and said with a slight smile: "Although I came to Quanzhou to lurk on the order of the King of Jin, Cai Sima was really good to me, took good care of me, and helped me complete the task. ”

Cai Yong's heart suddenly ignited a glimmer of hope, grabbed Zhou Fei's arm, and said repeatedly: "General Zhou, you must help me!" ”

Zhou Fei nodded, "Yao Shun has been placed under house arrest and will be sent to Chang'an soon, and now someone needs to come out to stabilize the situation in Quanzhou?" I recommended you to General Kang? Should you be temporarily appointed as the Acting Assassin? If Cai Gong does well? We will recommend you to His Royal Highness the King of Jin as the official Quanzhou Assassin History. ”

Cai Yong was overjoyed? It's unbelievable! At first, he was worried that his life would not be guaranteed, but in the blink of an eye, he actually had the opportunity to serve as the assassin of Quanzhou.

"That.... What should I do now? ”

"Come with me!"

..........

The battle in the city is over, and there are basically no fierce battles? There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, in the camp controlled by the Jin army? Quanzhou City is gone? The soldiers and patrol soldiers of the three gates took off their armor and fled, after Yao Shun made the decision to surrender? The 500 guards in the palace also laid down their weapons and surrendered.

The Jin army then imposed a curfew in the city, before the tension was completely lifted? All the people had to stay at home.

Cai Yong followed Zhou Fei to the temporary military office, and the temporary military office was the Quanzhou Prefecture government, because Yao Shun also served as the assassin of Quanzhou? He basically doesn't come here, and the affairs related to the state government are all done in the Economic Mission? Make the state government an ornament.

The state government was brightly lit, and many people gathered in the hall, including Wang Guanhai, the commander of Jinjiang County, Yuan Lin, the county magistrate, and several middle-level officials from the Jingluo Mansion, but none of the main officials were missing.

Kang Bao is sitting in the lobby to check the military information, taking Quanzhou, this is only his first step, he will continue to fight, seize Fuzhou, Jianzhou, Tingzhou and Zhangzhou, tomorrow morning will send troops, he needs to stabilize the situation in Quanzhou now.

Zhou Fei walked into the lobby with Cai Yong and smiled at Kang Bao: "General, Cai Sima is here!" ”

Cai Yong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "See General Kang!" ”

Kang Bao's official rank is the champion general of the three products, and at the same time he was named the general of Zuo Xiaowei, the governor of Guangzhou, and the duke of Yiwu County, and served as a hussar general in the Jin army, and was one of the six major hussar generals of the Jin army, Yao Jin, Li Bing, Liang Wu, Zhang Yun, Pei Xin, Kang Bao, these six generals were promoted to hussar generals at the same time last year, and Guo Song was appointed as the marshal and general of the Jin army.

Kang Bao smiled slightly: "Cai Sima, please take a seat!" ”

Cai Yong sat down and said with a wry smile: "Since the Jingluo Mansion no longer exists, my Sima is also not right, and his words are not good." ”

"That's just as well!"

Kang Bao nodded and said: "I invited Cai Gong to come this time, I want to talk about Quanzhou, I am more confused, I have always known that Quanzhou has four counties: Jinjiang, Nan'an, Putian and Qingyuan, but looking at these reports, how can they all mention the five counties of Quanzhou, and where is one county?" In addition, Fuzhou and Quanzhou both have Jingluo Mansion, which one is authentic? ”

Cai Yong hurriedly said: "The general doesn't know, there is an island in the southeast of Quanzhou, called Guilong Island, also called Penghu Island, five years ago Yao Guangping built a county seat on the island, called Penghu County, it is the fifth county of Quanzhou. ”

"I see!"

Kang Bao suddenly realized, and he asked puzzledly: "Why do you want to build a county seat on the island?" ”

"Because there is a larger island a hundred miles east of Guilong Island, called Liuqiu Island, which is equivalent to the area of five states, and only the alpine natives live on it, the Yao father and son want to develop this big island so that they can establish their own dynasty on the island, so Penghu County is just a transit place for them."

"I see, what about the two Jingluo Mansions? What's going on? ”

Cai Yong smiled and said: "Before Yao Guangping, Quanzhou and other five prefectures were under the jurisdiction of Changle Jinglufu, Changle Jinglufu is located in Minxian County, Fuzhou, Yao Guangping started from Quanzhou, he also built a Jinglue Mansion in Jinjiang County, Quanzhou, but the population, city and business are prosperous, Jinjiang County is not as good as Min County. ”

"Who controls Fuzhou?"

Cai Yong bowed and said: "Yao Guangping gave birth to six sons, the eldest son Yao Xing served as the assassin of Jianzhou, the second son is Yao Shun, the third Yao He served as the governor of the navy, and led the eight thousand naval army to the north, the fourth Yao Ding served as the Fuzhou assassin, the fifth Yao Huang served as the Tingzhou assassin, and the sixth Yao Jian served as the Zhangzhou assassin, each state only has five hundred soldiers, responsible for maintaining law and order, basically as long as Quanzhou is taken, the other four states are not a problem, the key is, how is the general going to deal with the Yao brothers? ”

Cai Yong was a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, he was Yao Guangping's son-in-law, if King Jin wanted to destroy the Yao family, what would his wife do?

Kang Bao said lightly: "Although the Yao family is a feudal town, it is not like other northern feudal towns to declare war with the Jin army, His Royal Highness the King of Jin thinks that the Yao family is not the enemy of the imperial court, and Yao Guangping is not bad at governing the place, so that the people of the five states can live and work in peace and contentment, so the King of Jin decided to move the Yao family to Chang'an, of course, if the other Yao brothers must rebel against the imperial army, then they can only bring about their own destruction." ”

Cai Yong thought for a while and said, "I'll write to them!" Explain the situation to them clearly, and let them surrender voluntarily, which will not only fulfill themselves, but also prevent the people from suffering. ”

Kang Bao readily agreed, "Cai Gong can write a letter!" I'll send my troops a day late. ”

Kang Bao then appointed Cai Yong as the provisional assassin of Quanzhou, and at dawn, the Jin army lifted the curfew and restored normal order in the city, and the army plastered notices all over the city.

.........

In the afternoon, Cai Yong's father, Cai Yu, entered the city from his old mansion and found Cai Yong, who had just been appointed as the assassin.

Cai Yu was once appointed by the imperial court to assassinate Fuzhou, resigned ten years ago and went home to recuperate, and now he is nearly seventy years old and rarely comes to Quanzhou City.

Hearing that his father was coming, Cai Yong came out of the state government and welcomed his father to the back hall.

"Father, why are you here?" Cai Yong asked puzzled.

Cai Yu smiled and said, "I heard that my son made a history of imperial court assassination, of course I want to come and take a look." ”

Cai Yong smiled bitterly, "Now it's just a temporary assassination history, not an official assassination history, and it may not be my turn in the end?" ”

"It's because of the word 'temporary', that's why I came over, you are temporary because General Kang has no right to appoint, the assassin can only be appointed by the king of Jin, the king of Jin wants to stabilize Quanzhou, of course, the interests of the family must be considered first, so as long as you do a few things, you are the only one who officially assassinates the history."

Cai Yong was overjoyed, "What should the child do?" ”

"The first is stability, Quanzhou does not seek any major changes, but it must be stable, taxes, labor or something, can not be increased, prices must also be stable, as long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, then Quanzhou will be stable."

After a pause, Cai Yu said again: "The second is that you should encourage overseas trade and fully activate the Quanzhou commercial port, which is what the King of Jin is most interested in, and it will definitely be beneficial to you." ”

"And the third?" Cai Yong asked again.

"The third point is very important."

Cai Yu lowered his voice and said: "You have to find a way to recommend Zhang Lan to be an official elsewhere, Zhangzhou, Tingzhou, and Jianzhou are fine, but you can't let him stay in Quanzhou." ”

"Why is that?" Cai Yong asked puzzled.

"You don't know! The Zhang and Cai families are the two largest families in Quanzhou, and they have been fighting openly and secretly for decades.

Zhang Lan used to be the governor of Jinglu Prefecture, you were half a level below him as Sima, and now you have made the history of Quanzhou Thorn, but he is at home for the people, will he feel comfortable?

He is too well-connected in Quanzhou, and I am worried that he will make you stumble, so that your temporary assassin will not be able to turn around, so I will put him elsewhere as an official, or be more ruthless, and send him and Yao Shun to the capital together, and the Zhang family will be like a pair of hands missing, and they will not be able to deal with you. ”

Cai Yong nodded, his father was still clever and far-reaching, but it was a bit too much to send him to the capital, and it was more appropriate for him to return to his ancestral hometown of Zhangzhou as an official.
