"However, being an official doesn't just look at whether you are honest or not, Zhou Tao! Many scholars and former officials have accused you of being jealous of meritocracy and persecution of Zhongliang! ”

"Master Hou, there is no such thing! The lower officials are selfless and selfless, and if they offend people many times, they will inevitably attract resentment, and they falsely accuse the lower officials. ”

Zhou Tao hurriedly said, he thought that someone would actually blow up the fact that he was persecuting people who were better than himself.

"It's okay for someone else to break the tesuji and frame you, and the nephew who was raised by you in the house also picked off the tesuji to frame you?"

Cai Cong said in confusion, Zhou Tao raised his head sharply and looked at Cai Cong in horror. Even in the mansion, not many people know about his nephew, is this Chang'anhou spy a ghost? How can such a hidden thing be found out?

"Go to prison! You will not sin to death, but how to decide, Ben Hou still needs to think about it. As soon as Cai Cong said that, someone grabbed Zhou Tao's two hands and lifted him down.

The rest of the people are in danger, the second-in-command of Taiyuan has been arrested, and there is no need to even say hello to petty officials like them.

"Chang'an Hou is tired of traveling and driving, let's go to the city to rest, and talk about it tomorrow if you have something!" Hua Feng said gloomily, in other places, Thorn Shi and Don't Drive are often needle-to-needle, but Zhou Tao wears a pair of pants with him and is his number one supporter. Cai Cong has taken people away now, it's no wonder that he can give a good face.

"Well, let's go to the city first! However, in front of everyone, Ben Hou arranged the work first. Chu Moxuan, Long Chen is there? ”

"The students are here."

Cai Cong shouted, and the two white-clothed scholars in the crowd came out and answered loudly.

"Chu Moxuan, this Hou ordered you to temporarily take the position of Don't Drive, and Longchen ordered you to temporarily take the position of Hehe County Commander, you can each choose two people to assist you, this Hou just wants to ask you, may you be competent?"

"If you go back to the Hou Ye, the student can do it." The two replied in unison, glanced at each other, and finally Chu Moxuan spoke: "It's just that Master Hou needs to send ten soldiers for the students to send." ”

"Oh! Why is that? ”

"Students have no qualifications and no qualifications, and there will be many people who will not accept it, and it is inevitable that the yang will be disobedient, so the students need to borrow ten good hands to do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, but those who are not satisfied should be killed, so as not to disrupt the order of Taiyuan."

Chu Moxuan said lightly, but it made countless people tremble, looking at him in his early twenties, why is it so spicy?

Cai Cong nodded with satisfaction, looked at Long Chen again and asked, "What about you, Long Chen?" What do you need? ”

"Students don't need to be masters, but please hand over Yin Man's body to the students to hang outside the Hehe County Ya, and then lend the person who can dig fat to the student envoys, and no one will dare to disobey the yang and the yin."

Everyone took another breath of cold air, what kind of people are these, one is more ruthless than the other, and one is poisonous and the other is poisonous. Looking at the immature-looking scholars under Cai Cong as usual, they seemed to be accustomed to this, and they all felt that their backs were cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"Your request is not too much, Ben Hou promised you, but whoever can't do it well, then it is indispensable to come to lead the army."

"Don't worry, Master Hou, I'd rather kill a few more people who violate the yang and yin than come to lead the army." The two stepped aside as they spoke, Cai Cong boarded the carriage and set off towards Taiyuan, Hua Feng sat in a sedan chair, following closely behind.

Hua Feng couldn't sleep at night in the Assassin's Mansion, he had never been so despised in his life, that is, when he went to Beijing to report on his work, Li Shimin's hall had his seat, and Cai Cong regarded him as nothing!

He didn't sleep until dawn, and told the maid to serve him to change his clothes, and then the butler came over and said, "Master, someone just knocked on the door, saying that there is something important to discuss, and let the old slave give you this letter." ”

"Do you know who it is?"

"I've never seen a raw face, and the old slave's accent is a bit like a mountain barbarian."

Hua Feng smiled disdainfully, when did Shanman still know how to send a letter. But he opened the envelope, and after a while he looked up at the butler and asked, "Can you write down the man's face?" ”

"Naturally, I wrote it down, my lord, this is ......" There is no human right to be a subordinate, and I can't guess the master's intentions, so I don't even dare to say everything.

"Go find a better painter, draw the man's face, and send out the sea fishing papers. Get ready to get out of the carriage, and Master Ben is going to see the Marquis of Chang'an. ”

The housekeeper hurriedly said yes, walked two steps and turned back and asked, "What crime should be charged with this sea fishing paper, master?" ”

"A certain assassin marquis!" Hua Feng spit out these four words, as if he had exhausted all his strength, if Cai Cong was stabbed in Taiyuan, he would not be able to escape the blame.

A trace of horror flashed in the butler's eyes, someone dared to assassinate Qin Cha, is this going against the sky? But he doesn't want to ask too much, and there are many people who know too much before he dies in vain.

Cai Cong requisitioned a private house, of course, the kind that gives money, he will not go to the palace, that place is deserted and tasteless, and it is not a place for people to live.

The owner of the house is an elderly scholar, who wants to have experience, and he wants to be knowledgeable, and he can talk to Cai Cong.

"I'm not afraid that the Hou Ye will intercede with the officials, except for a few officials, most of the officials in Taiyuan are good officials who are honest and honest for the people. It's the soldier who doesn't know how to offend the officialdom, and there is no official in Mantaiyuan to call the shots for him. Those officials have gone too far in this matter, and they don't blame people for filing a lawsuit. ”

The old pedant said very fairly, he hoped in his heart that Cai Cong could let most of the officials go, who could guarantee that the officials sent again would be good officials who were dedicated to the public?

"This is true, when Ben Hou learned about this matter, he sent someone to investigate, and found that except for a few dog officials who should be cut with a thousand knives, the rest of the officials are considered incorruptible."

Cai Cong took a sip of porridge and said affirmatively, and the old scholar looked at Cai Cong with a happy face, hoping to hear him say something about the open side of the net.

But Cai Cong put down the bowl and said seriously: "Have you ever heard of being unfaithful a hundred times without using this sentence?" Today, they can ignore dozens of families and hundreds of lives for the sake of a favor, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not ignore the people of Taiyuan for another favor in the future, do you still think they are good officials at that time? ”

Hearing Cai Cong's question, the old pedant was stunned for a moment, he was thinking that if he was in trouble, would he let go of this group of accomplices?

In the end, the old scholar smiled bitterly and said ashamedly: "The old man has studied the books of sages all his life, but he didn't expect to read them all in the belly of a dog, and he doesn't understand what he doesn't want to do to others." ”

"It's good that the old man can see it through, otherwise Ben Hou will have to punish you for the crime of obstructing justice."
