Chapter 36: The Cruelest Thing
Caijia Village is very lively, the flowing water seats are still the same, and people from all over the country have come. Being able to eat a full meal in these years and months is more important than the big things. The old man doesn't eat, but he will definitely sit at a table with the elderly people of other villages and enjoy their praise.
"Did you see that? Those who are repairing the mansion are sent by the official family to give my Cai family's wife the order to repair the mansion. Old Man Chen's house is big enough to enter three and three, right? But in front of this house, he is a small house, do you know how big this house is? There are fifteen acres. ”
The old man stretched out his five fingers and gestured three times as he spoke, with indescribable pride on his face. The others exclaimed in unison, and he showed a look of satisfaction.
"Where can I compare with my wife's mansion, I am a small landlord, and my wife is an official figure. The prefectural order is coming, and the person who wants to salute first! The fat old man Chen said politely, he just has hundreds of acres of land, and he made a fortune by collecting rent and buying land, and his attitude is very humble in the face of officials.
"Hahaha, where are you talking about it, Master Chen is a good man in the four towns and eight miles, Cai Cong fell into the water the month before last, and you have to send someone to help, we haven't thanked you for this matter yet!" The old man also accepts it when he sees it, especially this old man Chen, who can help people in other villages on weekdays.
Cai Cong didn't accompany them and watched them tout. When Chang'an Ling came to visit, he directly bought a bare mountain, which seemed stupid to others, but Cai Cong snickered in his heart, coal mine! In these years, few people knew the importance of coal, and he wanted to buy it, and Chang'an Ling almost half sold it and gave it to him.
"Then let's say so, go back and visit the kid again, I hope the parents won't turn the kid away." Cai Cong said with a smile, the sedan chair was carried by everyone, Chang'an Ling gave himself face, and he also had to give the other party.
"Xiao Langjun is polite, it's just a barren mountain, and it shouldn't hurt to give it to Lang Jun. But after all, it is public land, and it still has to be ......" Chang'an Ling said politely, sometimes the officialdom can't look at the official position, it depends on who is in the emperor's heart.
"By the way, when the official came, the owner of Junyue Building entrusted me to send the title deed, saying that he would give Junyue Building to Xiao Langjun, and Mrs. Yihe was named Mrs. Destiny by the Heavenly Family." As if he suddenly remembered, Chang An Ling took out a title deed from his arms and handed it to Cai Cong.
Cai Cong took it and took a look, and even his name was changed to his name. Without thinking about it, he returned it to Chang'an Ling and said with a smile: "No merit, my mother can't say that she was awarded a four-grade edict, or a one-grade edict, and she is not qualified to let people send the inn that supports her family as a congratulatory gift." ”
"Hehe, I heard that the owner of Junyue Building is surnamed Zhang, and the family is also the lord of the county. People don't rely on an inn to support their families. The official said this, I don't know if Xiao Langjun understands? The county prince wants to reconcile with Xiao Langjun! Chang'an Ling smiled very beautifully, the small contradiction between Cai Cong and Zhang Liang has spread all over Chang'an, why not be a peacemaker and be able to please both sides at the same time?
Cai Cong doesn't want to take it, Zhang Liang's character is not good, his eyes are small and ambitious, he will have to be stabbed sooner or later, there is really no need to ease relations with him.
"Then I can't accept it, I heard that the county prince in the court that day asked His Majesty to kill me many times, who knows if it will be a conspiracy?" Cai Cong smiled and excused himself, but his tone revealed that he was thousands of miles away.
"Lang Jun, just take it! Otherwise, the county prince is afraid that he will not be able to sleep well at night. Chang An Ling said bitterly.
"What a joke, the murderous county guild is afraid of a stinky child like me?"
Although Xiao Langjun is not in the officialdom, his fame is widely spread in the Chang'an family. If you don't move, you will do it, and if you move, it will be like a landslide, and the opponent will be thrown into a place where you can't turn over. This is true of the former chief, even of the one on the prairie. If you don't want to reconcile, the county prince can't sleep! ”
When Cai Cong heard this, his face was a little ugly, he was so long at that time, he hoped that his reputation was as gentle as jade, but it seemed that it backfired, and now he is considered a murderer. Don't think this is a good thing, no one wants to teach friends with a fierce person with no bottom line, and being a lone husband in officialdom often ends up miserable.
"I was forced to do it before, and I didn't want to think about our orphans and widows, if the means were not ruthless, how could we suppress those people with bad intentions? As for Jieli District, a barbarian, I don't treat him as a human being. I accepted this gift, and went back to tell the county lord that this matter was clear. And actually I'm a good person! ”
The last few words Cai Cong said very solemnly, Chang'an Ling was embarrassed, no one said that you are not a good person! Dare to play with Jieli to return tens of thousands of people, if this is said, I don't know how many people will give him an immortal card. Who dares to say that Cai Cong is not a good person?
"Hehe, since the matter has been done, then the official will leave with a smile."
"Let's stay for a light meal!" Cai Cong was polite, and after being repeatedly dismissed, he had to send someone to the door.
"Lang Jun, Cai Tian's brute has been caught at night, and now he is coming to the village." Meng Baolai approached and said. Li Shimin said before that the people would be handed over to Cai Cong for disposal, so they would not be sent to the government.
"Let them wait for me at the entrance of the village, don't enter the village, the old man is in a good mood these days, don't let them destroy." I went over there. ”
"Yes, I'll arrange it."
"It seems that Xiao Langjun still has something to deal with, so the official will leave and come to the door another day to ask for calligraphy." Chang An Ling said and turned over his horse and walked away.
When he couldn't see the figure, Cai Cong walked towards the entrance of the village with a black face. He didn't walk fast, and he walked for a long time with a stick of incense. When he arrived, he saw Cai Tian scolding.
The five people lined up, and the other four were listless, ignoring Cai Tian's shouting and scolding, just worried about how Cai Cong would deal with him.
Seeing Cai Cong coming, they immediately begged loudly for mercy: "Cai Cong let us go!" We really didn't want to kill anyone, it's all Cai Tian's fault, he owes a lot of debts, he has no money to pay back, he wants to rob your family's money, and make it look like a robber and kill. ”
"That's right! We were coerced, he had a knife, and if we didn't go with him, he would kill us. And he was arrested by us, and we arrested him and surrendered him to the government. ”
Cai Cong didn't even look at them, if he hadn't been moved by bad intentions, how could he have come as soon as Cai Tian said it? He walked directly in front of Cai Tian, who had a cynical face.
"I'm very unhappy, the Zhang family is an outsider in the end, they want to take it, and I will kill them all. But you are my relatives, how many of them are still in the five suits? What do you say I should do? My mother dragged me to grow up alone, and if anyone wanted to hurt her, I would definitely kill his whole family, but you are all my relatives! ”
Cai Cong was really sad, the hardships of his previous life made him feel that blood should be the strongest relationship in the world, but unfortunately this scene in front of him disappointed him.
"If you want to blame yourself, if you hadn't humiliated me in public at the Temple of Mercy and Grace that day, how could I want to kill your mother? It's all your fault. Cai Tian said loudly with his head held high, he felt that it was his most humiliating experience.
"Humiliation? You also don't look at what you have to be humiliated with? I just wanted to motivate you and let you get rid of your habits of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, but I didn't expect you to be so narrow-minded. ”
"You can say whatever you want now, and if you have the ability, you will kill me. Don't be merciful, if you want to beat me to death, do it! But if you do this, you will have to carry a name that is not respectful, and you will not want to take it off for the rest of your life. ”
Cai Tian's expression became crazy and said, in this era, as long as you don't really kill your father and break your family, you have to be more lenient with your relatives, otherwise your reputation will stink. Cai Tian didn't do anything to Sister Cai after all, if he really killed Cai Tian, Cai Cong's reputation would really stink.
"Don't provoke me, I don't care about fame." Cai Cong said lightly, he really didn't care. The madness on Cai Tian's face receded when he heard this, and only his face turned pale.
"But you're right, I can't do anything to you, otherwise the old uncle won't even have someone to send him to the end in a hundred years. But if I let you go like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well in the future. What do you say I should do? ”
"Let me go, I promise to be absolutely honest in the future, whatever you say is what you say." Cai Tian writhed wildly, and the fear in his eyes finally spread to his face.
"Kill him! Kill this brute, and sooner or later it will become a scourge, and the old man will not believe that I am dead, and none of you will give me funeral. The old patriarch's voice dripping blood came from afar, like a desperate old wolf, everyone knew that his heart was dripping blood.
"Who told my uncle?" Cai Cong looked at the others angrily, the old man was most jealous of joy and sorrow, in case he was not careful, he might die suddenly.
"Grandpa, grandpa, I'm your only grandson, you can't do this, you can't. My father died young, and you promised to take care of me. Cai Tian finally became completely desperate, screaming hysterically, looking at the old man who came from afar, he found that his last reliance had to leave him.
"Lao Yu is the patriarch of the Cai family, and then your grandfather. The family has a family law, if you don't die, how can the Cai family still have axioms to talk about in the future? The old patriarch said indifferently, the family and the country are all over the world, the family is always at the forefront, for the continuation of the family, he can die at any time, whoever dares to destroy the rise of the family, he will kill whom.
"Why don't you cross Cai Tian out of the family tree and drive him out of Caijia Village, so that he is not allowed to use the surname Cai from now on, and he doesn't have to be killed, right?" Cai Gang said on the side, they are all brothers who grew up with bare butts, and they didn't catch anyone and let go of cruel words, but how could they bear to watch Cai Tian die when it came to the end?
"I don't agree, kill me, kill me! My surname is Cai when I die, I'm going to find my father, I see how you explain to my father after you die. Human nature is repeated, and no one can fathom Cai Tian's psychological changes, his face is hideous and distorted, but the corners of his mouth have a shallow smile like revenge.
When the old patriarch heard this, he only felt that the world was spinning, and he had to face his son's questioning after death, how cruel should this be for an old man?
But he stabilized his figure, slowly walked to Cai Tian's side and whispered, "Do you know? This is my Cai family's only chance to become everyone's big clan, even if your father is alive, he will kill you. ”
