"Hmph, your vision is too short-sighted, he is a superior, an angel, as long as it is said that the Zhengzhou gentry colluded to plot a rebellion, the one in Chang'an will definitely clap his hands and say that he killed well. Don't say it, go and inform everywhere, the gentry of the whole city should be present to meet the errand. ”

The army of 5,000 men marched in a long serpentine formation, and the long line did not meet each other. Zhengzhou Assassin Gongsun Neng and Zheng Wenfu carried a cadre of people out of the city for ten miles to greet each other, and when they saw Cai Cong's car, Gongsun Neng took a cadre of officials and shouted: "The lower officials meet the superiors!" ”

The squire casually arched his hand and said, "I've seen angels." ”

Cai Cong lifted the curtain, glanced at it coldly, and asked Zheng Wenfu, who was standing at the front, "Are you Gongsun Neng?" ”

Zheng Wenfu clasped his fists and said with a smile: "If you go back to the angel, the old man is not the grandson of the assassination, but the ...... of the Zheng family."

"Since it's not Gongsun Neng, just get out of the way, do you know how to be humble?" Cai Cong immediately glared and pointed behind him and scolded, Zheng Wenfu's eyes flashed with a trace of anger, and he immediately smiled and nodded, and walked calmly to the back of the official.

"The lower official grandson can see the errand, the lower official and the squire of Zhengzhou have already set up a dust washing banquet, please be respectful and condescending, be sure to appreciate the face" Gongsun Neng hurriedly stepped forward, he didn't expect that this young errand official was so heavy, so that he had the illusion of facing his old boss.

"It's okay, it's not too long to eat. Lao Meng! Cai Cong pondered for a moment, nodded and said, it was a promise.

"Mark it down!" Lao Meng stepped out of the carriage and replied with his head held high.

"Order you to bring people to the Assassin's Mansion to bring all the files of the last three months, and send someone to quickly bring all the files of all the county offices under the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou, if there is any obstruction, kill!"

"It's bad, it's unacceptable." Gongsun Neng's face turned white, but Cai Cong said with a smile: "Since Gongsun Thorn Shi has washed the dust for this official, let's go!" If you delay any longer, don't blame the official for not appreciating his face. ”

"My lord, please here, please here." Gongsun can grit his teeth angrily, and the power of life and death! Emperor, why did you give such a big power to such a stunned young man.

Seeing that the Zheng family did not stand up to speak, the other officials and gentry did not dare to come forward, and followed one by one and walked towards the largest guest restaurant in Zhengzhou.

Along the way, Cai Cong listened to the crowd introduce some attractions and allusions with a smile, and he was not in a hurry at all. However, Gongsun Neng and the others looked absent-minded and smiled reluctantly.

"Master Zheng, Lord Gongsun, and all the nobles are here, which really makes the small shop shine! Come in, the banquet is ready. The shopkeeper of the Kelai Restaurant stood at the door and smiled like a flower, and saw Zheng Wenfu and Gongsun Neng heading inside.

The smile on Cai Cong's face disappeared immediately when he walked in front, and he glanced at Gongsun Neng indifferently, and then said to Zheng Wenfu with a sneer: "Master Zheng is really the lord of Zhengzhou!" Please go ahead. ”

"The angel torments the old man, how dare the old man be honored in front of you, it is already a great honor to be able to participate in the banquet with him, and he will never dare to walk in front of you." Zheng Wenfu said with a smile and extended the guest casually. Even if it is a favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, he can't let the Zheng family bow his head.

"Humph!"

Cai Cong snorted coldly, threw up his sleeves and strode into the restaurant, the others hurriedly followed, everyone glared at the shopkeeper fiercely, the frightened shopkeeper's legs trembled, and he was already thinking about escaping Zhengzhou and living in a different place.

"The customs of Zhengzhou are very special! If you don't respect the official and respect the gentleman first, is Gongsun Tingshi not doing it well, or is Master Zheng doing it too well? As soon as he sat down, Cai Cong asked with a smile.

"This, this, since the superiors know the situation in Zhengzhou, why bother to get off the officials?" Gongsun Neng embarrassedly said how ambitious he was when he first arrived in Zhengzhou.

It's a pity that with a series of blows, he found that he couldn't do anything at all without the squire class, and the Zheng family's power spread all over the upper and lower levels of the government, and he couldn't do anything at all with his ambition, and finally became depressed and became the echo of the Zheng family.

"Hmph, the people don't know the strictness of the officials, and the officials don't know their own responsibilities, so they dare to use this reason to prevaricate the officials, don't you think the officials' swords are not sharp enough?" Cai Cong patted the table and asked sharply, and the left and right entourages immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths, and the people present in the cold light couldn't open their eyes.

"The lower officials don't dare, please forgive me." Gongsun Neng knelt on the ground tremblingly, begging for mercy repeatedly, he had already thought about it, as long as he could escape this catastrophe, he would inevitably resign from the old man afterwards, even if this official did the grievances, there was still a danger to his life, which was really uncomfortable.

"It's impossible to say whether the crime is guilty or not, you don't have to kneel down first, and after the official finds out the details, there will naturally be a conclusion." Cai Cong said lightly, glancing at Zheng Wenfu with contempt out of the corner of his eyes.

What he didn't expect was that Zheng Wenfu actually bowed down and confessed, saying that his Zheng family had done too many good deeds on weekdays, and he actually let the people of Zhengzhou know more people than he knew about the history of assassination, which was his fault, and he would definitely stop doing good and accumulating virtue in the future.

said a look of grievance, but also sincerely, so that Cai Cong could not find any opportunity to be angry. I had to smile and say: "The Zheng family is a family of goodness, this is a good thing, how can you deny the contribution of your Zheng family because the people don't know the history of assassination, this is absolutely impossible." ”

Hearing Cai Cong's words, everyone laughed comfortably, only Zheng Wenfu became more and more respectful, and said humbly: "All this is taken for granted, it's just adhering to the ancestral teachings, and it shouldn't be praised by angels." ”

Seeing this scene, the rest of the Zheng family frowned and looked at Zheng Wenfu unhappily, when did the Zheng family go so low? Do you want the dignity of the thousand-year-old family anymore?

"Oh! But the official didn't know that the Zheng family's family motto was to let the servants occupy the mountain as the king, kill people and plunder goods? Cai Cong raised his eyebrows and asked unhurriedly.

"How could the Zheng family do such a thing, this kind of family motto is absolutely non-existent, my lord, you really love to laugh." The other Zheng family members all had tight faces and shortness of breath when they heard Cai Cong's words, but Zheng Wenfu stood up and said righteously.

"Oh? It's strange to say this, on the way to Zhengzhou, the official exterminated some bandits, and caught a few bandit leaders, who kept claiming that they were the servants of the Zheng family, what is going on? ”

After Cai Cong finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Wenfu playfully, wanting to see how he would react, but saw him say slowly: "This kind of thief is afraid that he has been taught a lesson by the chivalrous man invited by my Zheng family before, and he holds a grudge, so he framed my Zheng family, if the adults don't believe it, my Zheng family is willing to confront the thief in front of the court." ”

Hearing this, Cai Cong chuckled in his heart, and secretly screamed badly. said with a smile: "In this way, I'm afraid it's just a thief who is indiscriminately clinging to and framing him, so it's okay not to investigate." Come, come, come, all take their seats, and tell the feast, the official is also a little hungry. ”

"Lord Xie is clear, shopkeeper, hurry up and serve the food." Zheng Wenfu said gratefully, and he was also respectful to Cai Cong at the table, and did not give Cai Cong the slightest opportunity to make things difficult.

During the banquet, a guard came in and said to Cai Cong: "Something happened to the sir, not long ago, a group of ordinary people stormed the prisoner car escorting the bandits, saying that they wanted to avenge the relatives who died. Our men stood in the way.

However, this group of people was too angry, and the people below also restrained themselves in order not to cause a greater conflict, and as a result, several bandits were poisoned in the chaos, and all of them were choked to death. ”
