Chapter 4: The Gao family forced marriage

Cai Dongpan sat in the sedan chair, his mood was like the swaying sedan chair, squeaking, squeaking, up and down.

Judging from what Chen Feng told him, no matter what, he could take advantage of a big advantage unscathed.

"Can this kid Chen Feng be so honest?"

Cai Dongpan frowned slightly, muttering in his mouth, but at this time, he heard the sedan chair man outside and put down the sedan chair.

The Prince's Mansion has arrived.

Cai Dongpan stepped out of the sedan chair, and at a glance he saw a column of sergeants patrolling in armor outside the gate of the mansion, all with blazing eyes and holding their heads high.

Almost everyone knows that Li Shiming, the king of Qin, has a tiger and wolf army under his command, which has made great contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

In the past, Li Jiancheng naturally felt that the stronger his brother was, the better, but now that he is the prince, he has also begun to secretly guard against and cultivate his own power.

"The prince's soldiers are not easy to serve, Chen Feng, this kid is really desperate."

Cai Dongpan stroked his beard, a smile appeared on his face, and walked into the prince's mansion.

As soon as he walked in, a companion reading boy hurried over from a distance, looking at Cai Dongpan with an anxious face.

"Lord Cai, why did you come, the prince has been waiting in the east hall for a long time, and it is estimated that you will inevitably have a board today."

Cai Dongpan flicked his cuffs and quipped: "If the prince wants to beat me today, it will have to be a gold plate and a silver plate." ”

The scholar stomped his feet when he heard this, and said, "Lord Cai is still in the mood to joke, don't pull me when the prince blames him." ”

As he spoke, the scholar did not speak, but led the way straight ahead.

Cai Dongpan followed, passing through several corridors of eight-pillar pavilions and a flower garden with green willows, and the east hall was already in front of him.

Cai Dongpan looked at the closed door, but his heart was beating again.

Then, with a light cough, he calmed down, and reached out to push open the black door.

"Cai Dongpan, you still know that you are coming, do you want His Highness to go out to greet you."

In the hall, seven or eight civil officials stood in a row, and on the main seat in the center, there was a young man with a slender face, wearing a flat crown, and wearing a yellow embroidered dragon robe, which was the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

Cai Dongpan looked at Li Jiancheng's gaze as if he was about to kill, and the gloating expressions on the faces of those colleagues, took a few steps forward unhurriedly, and leaned over to salute.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, it's wrong for me to be late, but I'm late for you, the Prince."

Li Jiancheng laughed when he heard this, raised his eyebrows, and waved his hand to call two sword-wielding soldiers to walk in.

"For me? Cai Dongpan, do you want to emulate Chen Feng? It's a pity, you're a little old and a little fat, and you can't take a step even if you run for your life. Today, if you don't come up with an answer that satisfies Prince Ben, don't blame Prince Ben for being ruthless. ”

Cai Dongpan glanced at the prince again, and beside him, the white light reflected from the two long knives reflected on his face, making him ooze a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

"Back to the prince, I have to ...... this"

Cai Dongpan walked up to Li Jiancheng and whispered in his ear.

Sure enough, Li Jiancheng was still a little impatient at first, but then his face sank, and he sat down and let Cai Dongpan speak quickly.

The other staff members in the hall saw the mysterious appearance of the two princes, and they all thought that Cai Dongpan had received some amazing news, and they all turned their heads and ears.

At this time, Cai Dongpan stood back in his position after speaking, and a hint of triumph flashed in his eyes.

When he saw the prince still meditating with his head bowed, he realized the weight of his work.

It's just that regarding this report, Li Shiming, the king of Qin, secretly gathered an army, he didn't mention Chen Feng's name at all.

"Hehe, Chen Feng, you are a good person to the end. If this official becomes bigger, he will definitely sweep the tomb and offer flowers to you. ”

Besides, Chen Feng's side, he knew that the crown prince Li Jiancheng was deep-rooted, and it was not an overnight thing to move the other party, so after doing this matter, he was ready to rush back to the Qin family first and then make plans.

However, when he staggered to the gate of Qinjiazhuang, a noisy noise rose to the sky, and piles of carts, horses and people in various clothes surrounded the door of Qinjiazhuang.

"It can't be that Miss Qin is getting married, right?"

Chen Feng stepped forward to check suspiciously, and a fat man wearing ochre-colored lapels and a mustache stopped him from behind.

"This brother, are you also here to ask for an account? Now it's all the big dealers who are clamoring, and small households like us may have to go to the back row. ”

"Accounts?" Chen Feng glanced left and right in confusion, and then remembered that the Qin family was in the spice business.

"Isn't this Qin family a giant businessman on the rich side, how can you say that it will collapse?"

Chen Feng asked.

The fat man laughed and said, "Brother Tai, I don't think you look like a closed and ignorant person, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, I heard that many national policies have to be changed." The Qin family is still holding the previous tax system and saying that things are naturally not good, plus the old man Qin is ambitious, and a lot of capital has not come back to borrow money to buy a new shop, where can it still hold up. ”

When Chen Feng heard this, he also frowned, and said, "The Qin family has also been working hard in the business for so many years, why, can't you find a few old brothers to help you?" ”

When the fat man heard this, he was immediately happy, and his face showed a lewd look.

"Don't say it, there really is, the Gao family in Jizhou has heard of it, the silk business is the biggest one they do, and today they all rushed over. claimed that not only could he waive the 30,000 taels of silver owed by Old Man Qin, but he could also lend him money to make a comeback. ”

Chen Feng's heart moved, and he subconsciously felt that there must be nothing good here.

Sure enough, the fat man patted his belly and spoke again.

"However, there has to be a condition, that is, you have to marry the little beauty of the Qin family, Qin Sushan. Hey, tens of thousands of taels of silver will be exchanged for a little lady, you said how smart this person must be. ”

When the fat man said this, he was about to elaborate again, but Chen Feng's figure was missing.

"Strange, ...... was just here"

After Chen Feng struggled to squeeze into the gate of the Qin family through the cracks, he followed his previous memories and returned to the small courtyard where he lived before.

At the gate of the courtyard, the last few food delivery guys were sitting on the cart, chatting with each other.

Because the door was blocked, they couldn't get out even if they wanted to.

"Where is your young lady now? Quick, take me to her. ”

Those guys were stunned when they heard the voice, and it took a long time to react when they saw Chen Feng coming.

"Original...... It turned out that you were back, but the young lady is now being watched by the master, and I'm afraid I can't take care of you. ”

Chen Feng asked, "Is it because of the Gao family?" ”

"Yes, Gao Shigui's old man is disrespectful to the elderly, and our Qin family used to help him, but now he is running to take advantage of the fire to rob. also allowed Gao Ran's little brute to make such excessive demands, insisting that our young lady marry him to pay off the debt. ”

When those guys said this, they all gritted their teeth and looked indignant.
