Chapter 545: Flickering
And a burst of panic appeared in Li Tai's eyes, he vaguely remembered that he said something rebellious last night, could it be because he killed all the people in the courtyard because of his few words of wine Cai Cong.
"Can't remember or don't want to think about it? Even the rebellious words of killing the Emperor Taishang were spoken, do you think no one can help you? Pity my thirty-four faithful servants who die blindly! ”
Cai Cong's words were like a thunderbolt that electrocuted the two brothers, thinking that cursing a few words was enough to be out of line, but he didn't expect to even say such a thing as killing.
"Actually, it's all about drinking, and you don't have to make a big fuss......"
"Making a fuss? Ordinary people have unfilial descendants, and the clan elders will not hold them accountable if they are beaten to death. As the grandson of the emperor, you said that you want to poison your grandfather, is this called true? ”
Cai Cong directly interrupted him, smashed the teapot in his hand to the ground, and looked at Li Tai angrily. Li Tai was stared at by his angry eyes and didn't dare to speak, so he could only turn his head to look at his eldest brother.
"Are you sure that all the people who know about it have been killed? This time it's our two brothers, Meng Lang. I almost made a big mistake, but fortunately I have you to help me check and fill in the gaps, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
"Don't thank you, I have killed thirty-four loyal people, don't come to me if you want to drink in the future, this is what my mother said, two of the white silk I gave last night were my mother's maids."
Cai Cong stretched out his hand to block it, Li Chengqian couldn't say anything, choked in his throat, and almost suffocated himself to death.
"There is also a reason why we drink, it is my grandfather who colluded with Songwen, and my father said that for the sake of the face of the heavenly family, let me bear the responsibility of overseeing the disadvantage and commanding the uncontrollable, so we will say such angry words."
Li Chengqian said with some grievances, if he could, he really didn't want to bear such a stain.
"I don't understand, what qualifications do you have to talk angry?" Cai Cong squinted at the two of them and decided to give them a dose of fierce medicine.
"Then he colluded with Songwen to bring my eldest brother a bad reputation, can't we say a few words?"
Li Tai said unhappily, and Cai Cong looked at him and replied categorically.
"Can't!"
"This world was brought down by the Emperor Taishang, and this is the belongings he has accumulated all his life. Although it is said that your father made great contributions when he fought the world, and now his father is the master of the house, but the people of the world never think that your father beat down the world.
The Emperor Taishang wants to defeat his own belongings, and even your father is not qualified to say anything about him, and you two are even less qualified to say it. As for carrying jokes and stigmatizing, this is your responsibility as a royal child. I, an outsider, have I carried less pots to your family over the years? What's the big deal about you guys reciting it yourself? If you feel that you can't afford it and feel wronged, then you can talk to Your Majesty as soon as possible, let Your Majesty cultivate a prince as soon as possible, and you can be the prince of peace! ”
Cai Cong said that regardless of the change in their faces, the two walked towards the outside of the courtyard with their hands behind their backs. When he returned, he was carrying a teapot in his left hand and a food box in his right hand.
Seeing that the two brothers were still bowing their heads and pondering, he laid out the meal, a very simple dish, a pot of minced pork porridge, a plate of tofu, a plate of dried vegetables, and a plate of poached eggs.
The two brothers sat down silently, silently took the bowl and chopsticks to serve the porridge by themselves, and ate it silently. Li Tai ate and ate the teardrops and fell down, Li Chengqian's eyes were moist and he buried his head and drank the porridge, but he didn't know if the teardrops were mixed with the porridge and drank it together.
Cai Cong silently made tea for them, and didn't intend to tell the two of them that people were still alive, young and frivolous always had to use the price of blood to hone their maturity, even if it was other people's blood.
After a few bowls of porridge, the people finally recovered a little of their spirits, and Li Chengqian said to Cai Cong with a normal face: "Since this matter has come to fruition, then I will return to Beijing soon, no matter if it is infamy, it is always up to me to bear it, but it is a pity that I came in a hurry and went in a hurry, and I didn't have time to talk to you at night." ”
Li Chengqian smiled reluctantly as he spoke, they are all young people who don't want to be famous, and now they are carrying an incompetent name, which really makes him unhappy!
Cai Cong pushed the translucent yellow soup in front of him with his fingers and said, "If you were in your current position, he would definitely bear this infamy with joy." The common people and petty officials may despise you if they don't know it, but the important ministers in the court know the ins and outs, and they will only respect you more, and your father and emperor will also pay more attention to you. I don't even understand what reason you have to buy drunk. ”
Li Chengqian only felt that a layer of fog had been removed, the ancients said that blessings and misfortunes depend, and misfortunes and blessings depended, could this be the meaning?
Li Tai was dumbfounded, how could it be a great thing to get to Cai Cong's mouth when it was obviously unlucky?
"I'm also a fan of the authorities, but I didn't expect it to be a good thing to look at it from another angle." Li Chengqian said with a smile, his mood suddenly improved, and he vaguely couldn't wait to go back to Chang'an as soon as possible to carry a name, and when the time came, he would behave more tragically, and he would definitely be able to brush up a wave of prestige among the loyal ministers at that time.
"Humph! Now that I can laugh, how can I count those dozens of lives? My Cai family has not said anything about ruining the family style for so many years, even the matter of stealing needles and threads has not happened, and now dozens of people have died overnight, how can you let me explain to their families? ”
Acting in a full set, Cai Cong said in embarrassment, Li Chengqian drank all the tea in the cup with great hatred, the big mistake has been made, how much money do you need to compensate them, I will come out of the East Palace, although it is a little cheesy, there is only so much I can do.
"According to the people who died for the Cai family, each person will receive a settlement fee of 500 yuan, and 20 yuan per year will be given for 30 years." Cai Cong said with some solemnity, Li Chengqian did some calculations in the dark center, and almost didn't cry, adding or subtracting thirty or forty thousand yuan.
"Your old Cai family is too rich, right? Raising orphans like this, can you raise them? ”
Li Chengqian said sourly, Cai Cong sighed and said: "I hope I can't afford it, but unfortunately the annual subsidy is only a few hundred thousand, and a boat that may go to sea and come back is enough." ”
"I'm out of this money, and I'll never drink too much at your house in the future, it's too damn expensive. Anyway, I don't know how long it will take to see you when I go back this time, or let's settle the doll first! ”
Li Chengqian suddenly brought the topic to the baby's side without warning, Cai Cong rolled his eyes: "Go back and discuss this matter with your sister-in-law, if you come to me, I will definitely not agree." ”
Li Chengqian smiled and took the teapot and poured himself a cup, pretending to drink it all in a heroic sip. Cai Cong acquiesced, which was simply beyond his expectations. Wait a minute... Something is wrong!
