Chapter 44 Umbrella
Cai Jing's mansion, Cai Jing's study, at first glance, the luxury of this study is even more luxurious than Zhao Huan's study, Cai Jing is a person, greedy for pleasure, when Zhao Ji first ascended the throne, he was also frugal everywhere, but he was led astray by Cai Jing's treacherous appearance, so that later, he was obsessed with Huashigang, and the people complained.
Cai Jing sat on the huge Taishi chair, at this time he was already in his old age, but he was still in good spirits, he looked at his sixth son Cai Qiong standing in front of him, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire.
"Rebel, haven't you severed your relationship with the Dongjiang Gang?" Cai Jing stared intently at Cai Qiong in front of him and shouted.
To say that Cai Jing's life is really very successful, he has been the prime minister for 16 years, it is really under one person, above 10,000 people, the scenery is unique, of course, his success lies in the fact that his sons are also very successful, eight sons, six of them hold important positions in the court, which has always been his proudest place.
Just as deciding how much water a barrel can hold depends not on the longest plank, but on the shortest plank, Cai Jing now feels that the Cai family is about to be ruined by this six boys who have never been looked down upon by him.
Cai Qiong didn't pay attention to what Cai Jing said at all, there are five brothers in the family who are more capable than him, and a younger brother who married a princess, he lives under the glory of this group of people, the pressure is really great, and the pressure has not evolved into Cai Qiong's motivation, on the contrary, he has already given up on himself, and has been mixed with a group of ruffians in Bianjing since he was a child, because his father is the prime minister of the dynasty, he seems to be a well-deserved head snake in Bianjing.
Soon, Cai Qiong had his own followers, and gradually formed the current Dongjiang Gang, the Dongjiang Gang is full of ruffians, usually bullying men and women, forcing good people to become prostitutes, that is really a lot of things, even if something happens occasionally, with Cai Qiong's umbrella, the Dongjiang Gang will not be punished by the imperial court, and gradually become more courageous, and began to do this kind of human trafficking business.
"No, I've long since disowned them." Cai Qiong didn't know why Cai Jing was so angry, but even if he knew, he didn't care, the Dongjiang Gang was like his little treasury, since he started this human trafficking business, it was really a million profits, and he used to spend money from the government, because he was not taken seriously, and even asking for money from the government would seem to be lacking.
But with this little treasury, it's different, just go to those villages and catch some people, and then sell them, that's just a lot of silver.
"It really doesn't matter?" Cai Jing stared at Cai Qiong in front of him like a knife, as if he wanted to see him through.
"It's okay." Cai Qiong's answer was very simple, it was not for nothing after so many years outside, and other skills may not have been learned, but this kind of lying skill is definitely a must.
Cai Jing's eyes were always on Cai Qiong and he didn't leave.
Cai Qiong was a little unhappy by Cai Jing's scorching gaze, for fear that he would not be able to hold on if he was forced to be ruthless, so he hurriedly said: "Dad, why are you looking at me like this?" But don't believe me? ”
"I'm sure you're weird!" Cai Jing slandered in his heart, he never believed that the little emperor Zhao Huan would publish such two articles in the "Great Song Daily" for no reason, this must be to attack some people, Cai Jing's intuition is a little bad, the new emperor is very uninterested in him, an old minister.
"I don't care what happened before, but from now on, you must completely dissociate myself from the Dongjiang Gang, otherwise you will wait for the entire Cai family to collect the corpse for you!" Cai Jing scolded sharply.
"What happened to Dad, making you so angry?" Cai Qiong asked a little strangely.
"Look at what you've done!" Cai Jing saw Cai Qiong's appearance that the mud couldn't support the wall, so he was angry, and reached out and slammed the "Da Song Daily" in front of him on Cai Qiong's face.
Cai Qiong picked up the newspaper and looked at it, he was also shocked, he didn't expect this matter to be stabbed on this "Da Song Daily", Cai Qiong is Cai Jing's son after all, although he is not doing his job, but he is exposed to it every day, and he also understands what this "Da Song Daily" represents, it is royal.
"Dad, this ...... What's going on? Cai Qiong's voice was a little unnatural.
"What's going on? You come to ask me, what else do I want to ask you? Waste, you can't do anything, and now you're in such a big trouble, I see how you end up. Cai Jing said angrily.
"Dad save me, I also did this kind of thing in order to earn more money for our Cai family." Cai Qiong was really panicked.
Seeing Cai Qiong like this, Cai Jing knew that this guy must not have done anything good behind his back, although he didn't do anything good in the court, but those standing behind him are all emperors, with the emperor's grace, then everything is right, and if the emperor's grace is lost, then everything will be in vain.
"Save you!" Cai Jing snorted coldly and shouted: "Now that you know that I am here to save you, didn't you just say that it has nothing to do with you?" ”
Cai Qiong's head was about to be pressed to the ground, and this time, he was rarely obedient.
"Rebel, you get out of here, our Cai family doesn't have a rebel like you!" Cai Jing kept scolding Cai Qiong angrily, and he didn't stop until Cai Qiong went out.
After Cai Qiong was kicked out, Cai Zhen (Cai Jing's third son) whispered to Cai Jing: "Dad, is it really not about the life or death of the sixth child?" ”
When Cai Jing heard this, he glared at Cai Chong, and then he looked like he hated iron but not steel, and said: "You still have to let my old bones go and invite the emperor, you guys, let me save some snacks!" ”
Cai Cheng agreed, but in his heart he didn't pay attention to what Cai Jing said, isn't it human trafficking, how much can it do, and Cai Jing can be so angry, Cai Cheng doesn't know that Cai Jing is angry not because of anger, but because of fear in his heart.
Behind all these things, Cai Yi can't see the deep meaning, but Cai Jing is like a mirror in his heart, this is the new emperor is going to do something to him, he actually expected that there would be such a day sooner or later after the death of Zhu Mian and Tong Guan, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.
The next day, Cai Jing entered the palace at dawn, ready to find the old emperor Zhao Ji.
