"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

In addition to guards, some people carry honor guards, and some people clean the streets. Use gongs to open the way, and whips to drive the streets, to show the majesty of the officials.

The guard of honor fell in front of the gate of Ci'en Temple, and the villagers of Caijia Village did not dare to come forward, but watched at the door, and they were so wise that they had already run to inform the old man.

"Lord Cai is coming, why don't you come out to greet you?" The high-spirited man who patted the sycophants earlier was screaming arrogantly at the moment, and his fingers clicked a few times in mid-air, and those who didn't know thought he was cramping!

Cai Cong's forehead was bruised, he stretched out his foot from the sedan chair and kicked him in the buttocks, and said angrily: "Meng Baolai, you kicked your head to the donkey, I still need someone to greet me when I go home?" It's all my elders and brothers, do you want to charge me with unfilial piety? ”

Meng Baolai was kicked, but said with a smile: "It's really small, no, I forgot that these are adult folks, and the small ones should be beaten." As he spoke, he slapped himself lightly.

"You...... Mother, mother, it's okay not to see you for many days? Cai Cong still wanted to say a few words to him, but when he saw Sister Cai walking out, she kicked Meng Baolai away, and ran over with her little arms and legs screaming.

"Son! My son. Did they hit you? Did you get food in there? Do you have a quilt at night? Sister Cai picked up Cai Cong, looked at him like a rare treasure, and said distressedly, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that her son was abused.

"Mother, you see, I ate well and slept well in it, grew a little taller, and gained a little weight." Cai Cong said and pinched his fleshy little face.

"It's good that you don't suffer, and if you don't suffer, put your mother's heart back in your stomach." Sister Cai looked at the funny Cai Cong, and then she burst into tears and laughed.

"Meet the old lady and say hello to the old lady."

At this time, the guards, sedan chair men, and miscellaneous servants who came with Cai Cong either bowed or bowed down, and saluted Sister Cai in unison. If you don't worship, don't look at people who are only in their twenties, but their son is a five-grade official of the imperial court!

"This, this, you, all the poor masters......" Sister Cai'er had experienced this kind of battle, and said helplessly holding Cai Cong.

"Mother, look at the child." Cai Cong pulled the wide clothes on his body with his hands, and the vermilion official uniform stimulated Sister Cai'er to be dizzy, this is the clothes of a big official!

"Hehe, the child is now a doctor in Zhongsan, the official of the five grades."

"I'm a god, Cong'er, have you become an official? How big are the five products. Is it older than the old man of Zhixian? ”

"Hmm...... The Chang'an Order is also an official position on the five grades, which is as big as me. Cai Cong thought about it for a while, the local county order was naturally not comparable to him, but the Chang'an county order was an official rank on the fifth grade, and his power was much greater than him.

"Get up, all of you. I'll talk to my mother. Brother Wei Guo, you arrange a meal for them, and they are probably hungry at noon. Cai Cong looked at the cheap servant who was still kneeling on the ground, turned his head and said to Cai Weiguo, who was hiding behind the door and wanted to come out but didn't dare to come out.

"Mother, where is the old man? Is his old man okay lately? ”

"Uncle, his old man is fine, he can eat and drink. It is...... Alas, you don't understand, after all, you're still young. Sister Cai shook her head as she spoke, and led Cai Cong into the old man's room.

The old man was lying on the bed spitting on his side, and beside him a miserable-looking peasant woman was waiting with a wooden barrel.

"Uncle Tai, I'm back, but I miss you." I don't know if it's become a child, this kind of fleshy words, Cai Cong said that he was a thief, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"Okay, just come back." The old man said with a smile, with a joy that could not be hidden between his eyebrows. It's just that Cai Cong's eyes are a little evasive.

"Daughter-in-law, Niu'er, you go down first. I had a heart-to-heart chat with Cong'er and grandchildren. The old man sat up as he spoke.

"Grandpa, that Cai Tian ......," said the sad-faced woman Qi Aide, her voice so small that she could barely hear it.

"Don't worry, when he comes back, grandpa will teach him a good lesson, bastard things, and the belt of his pants will be loose if he has two coins." The old man waved his hand, and Sister Cai left with the woman.

"Listening to this, what did Uncle Tian do to make you so angry?" Cai Cong picked up the dates on the table, clicked and took a bite, and then asked casually.

"Alas, although you are smart, you are still a child, and you don't understand it. Don't ask again. What the hell is going on this time? Where did you pick up the official uniform, hurry up and take it off, show people that something big will happen. ”

The windows in ancient times were all pasted paper, and the room was dim in broad daylight, and the old man's eyes were not good, so he saw clearly that Cai Cong was wearing an official uniform at this time, and he was scared for a while, and he screamed loudly. A carp almost jumped out and picked up Cai Cong's clothes.

"Bullying me, isn't it? What don't children understand? Uncle Tian went to visit the kiln, right? Cai Cong said calmly, but he was very unhappy in his heart, this day is only a little better, and some people learn to enjoy the gentle township in the gold cave, you must know that he is still nominally squatting in the kiln!

"Some little things should not be taken care of, my baby, take it off quickly, if this is seen by others, if you can't keep it, you will go to the yamen to check you."

Where does the old man care about his grandson's visit to the Qinglou, he walked over with a slight tremble, and wanted to pick Cai Cong's clothes.

"Uncle Tai, don't, this is my official uniform, my great-grandson is now a five-grade official of the imperial court, and the emperor personally sealed it!" Cai Cong said while running, where is the old man willing to believe?

Tell the old man everything that happened during this time. He also called the martial guards outside to corroborate, and the old man was ecstatic, thinking that he wanted to go back to the ancestral shrine to worship his ancestors.

Back to the ancestral shrine? Now there is a mess outside Chang'an, there are corpses every day, either the assassins of the Tang army or the spies of the Turks. Who would dare to go out of town?

That night, the Cai family celebrated, although there was no fresh big fish and meat, but bacon, cured meat is still a lot, in this panicked world, it is already a great luck to be full, not to mention there is meat to eat. So everyone let go of eating, and even the little Shani in the temple couldn't help but break the meat ring.

This meal was eaten in the moon and sky, and the Wuhou who was patrolling the night came to see it a few times, but they were all sent away by Meng Baolai with a waist card.

When it was gray the next morning, Cai Cong was woken up by the sound of crying and scolding. He slept early last night and wasn't as indulgent as the others.

In the front yard of the temple, Cai Tian's daughter-in-law and several village women sat on the ground crying, and Cai Tian and a few sleepy-eyed people scolded impatiently.

"A certain family has never missed a bite of food and a bowl of water. You should honestly guard the women's way, and dare to take care of my business? If it weren't for the fact that you gave birth to two babies for me, a certain family would have divorced you today. Cai Tian sighed with one hand and said impatiently.

Cai Cong's face immediately became gloomy when he heard this, if he hadn't made these delicacies and made all this money, Cai Tian was afraid that he would only be able to sell children and girls on the streets of Chang'an at this time. Now that I have two dollars on my body, I dare to spend time and drink, I really don't know whether to live or die.

Thinking of this, he directly pushed open his door and walked out, as soon as the door opened, Meng Baolai, who was guarding at the door, immediately opened his eyes. Seeing Cai Cong with a gloomy face, he said carefully: "Little adult, you are awake, the little one will ask someone to groom you and dress up." ”

"There's no rush. You go and bring the noisy people in the front yard and tell them all to shut up, don't wake up the old man. After Cai Cong finished speaking, he turned around and took a stool and sat at the door.

After a while, Meng Baolai brought people over, and several women sobbed from time to time, but they didn't dare to make a sound, and the thick finger prints on Cai Tian's face were Meng Baolai.

"What's going on?" Cai Cong looked at it several times before asking.

Before Meng Baolai could speak, Cai Tian covered his face and shouted: "It's amazing to be an official, you actually asked someone to beat your uncle, I want to ......"

"My lord, I called him here, but he didn't respect the order, and shouted and screamed, and he had to clean him up as a last resort." Meng Baolai said hurriedly.

"The officer didn't ask why he was beaten. The official asked why it was noisy early in the morning, which disturbed the old man to see how the official cleaned you up. Cai Cong said in an unhappy tone.

"Cong'er, you are a big official, you give your aunt a review. What kind of world do you say now, maybe you are about to fight with the Turks, is it always good to have some money and food in your hand? But this dead ghost has been in and out of the brothel in the Qinglou these days, and you said that with my family's little background, you can't give him a scourge? ”

Cai Tian's wife said sadly, looking at Cai Tian's eyes full of pleading. Cai Tian turned a blind eye and stood still with his head held high.

"Uncle Tian, if I'm not mistaken, your family should get two pounds of money and silver a month, and eighty catties of rice. That's enough money for you to go to the Green House? You go to see how others play Sister Yao, right? Cai Cong's words can not be described as poisonous, Cai Tian's face was red, and he said toughly: "You can't control this, I spend my own money, do you still need to inform you, a junior boy?" ”

"Bold! How dare you talk to an adult like this, come on, arrest this Tian Shelang and take him back to prison. Meng Baolai shouted loudly, and two martial guards came out of the shadows, smiling and walking towards Cai Tian.

"You, what are you going to do?" Cai Tian only knew at this time that he was afraid, the official word was in charge, even if it was his own nephew, it was not something he could shout.

"Alright, you stand down." Cai Cong waved his hand, and the two guards clasped their fists and saluted, and retreated into the shadows. "Uncle Tian, how you want to spend your own money, this official naturally can't control it, but if you take the village's money out and squander, then I don't think anyone will be polite to you."

Cai Cong doesn't care about his own loser, but the old man is in charge of the grain of some village collectives, if Cai Tian steals it out and sells it, he doesn't make a move, and others won't agree. Cai Tian's face was gloomy, his expression changed several times, and finally turned around and left.

"My lord, in fact, you don't have to be so soft-hearted, I just heard him compare the little peony with his mother-in-law. The little peony is a red card for the wind to come to the building, sleep once, and it is not good to go without five times. He's definitely ......"

Meng Baolai bent over and said to Cai Cong very doggedly. Cai Cong glared at him impatiently. "I'm still a child, and the fact that you actually went to the Qinglou with me is really scumbag. What you were told to do, how did you go? ”

"Lord Hui, you commanded last night, it's not dawn yet!" Meng Baolai said aggrievedly, even if he hanged himself, he had to take a breath, if he did things so neatly, he wouldn't be a little minion.

"I forgot that you can't go out on the street at night. Then you hurry up today, I'll go back and sleep for a while, and call me again if I have something." ”

Once Cai Cong gained power, his lazy nature exploded. slept in the sun, Sister Cai couldn't stand it anymore, so she lifted him out of the room and changed his clothes and washed his face.

"See, how powerful Cai Cong is, he is only eight years old when he enters and exits, and he is a big official, son, you will know like him in the future?" Washing your face, there are two big men guarding you, and this scene makes many people envious.

Cai Cong doesn't care about this, there are thousands of people in Datang, but Cai Cong has only one. Eating millet porridge, Meng Baolai came in and said, "My lord, the people you want, the general sent them in the morning." Do you want to meet them? ”

"Call them in, you go and tell General Li that I want a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, so that he can get ready. And you go and check which tribe in the Turks is relatively large, and the khan is greedy. You go to check, before I go back to the yamen, you must know that all the news is presented in front of me, can you do it? ”

Cai Cong's eyes were full of oppressive light, which doubled the pressure on Meng Baolai, and he found out for the first time that the little adult actually had such a heavy official authority, but he didn't know that in his previous life, Cai Cong often used the law of pressure to test whether his subordinates could take on heavy responsibilities.

"Small, small......" Meng Baolai is just a lieutenant, his vision is only so wide, he only killed a few people on the battlefield, let him check the khan or something, he can't start.

"How? If you can't do it, the official will do it again, and you don't need to force it. Cai Cong chuckled, and his smile became gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze, and he lost his majesty.

"My lord, please give the villain a day, before sunset, the villain will find all the news you want." Meng Baolai gritted his teeth, his face flushed. Fighting on the battlefield by himself is nothing more than a future, and now that the opportunity is in front of him, he can't do it if he wants to watch the opportunity slip away.

"Okay, you stand down! Tell them to come to me. ”

Meng Baolai bowed and retreated, and after a while, twenty people rushed in, and the room seemed extremely crowded. This group of people is old and young, both men and women. Looking at Cai Cong who was sitting upright, they all looked unhappy, but they just endured it.
