"Mr. Xu, can drinking this wine make your blood warm? And Mr. Chen and Mr. Wu, do you feel hot? Cai Cong played with the wine glass and said lightly, everyone's eyes crossed all the furnishings and fell on the three old men, not only the ancestors of the Yangzhou family, but also the status of Confucianism, how did Cai Cong choose to shoot at them tonight?

"I don't understand what Hou Ye meant? Although Xu is old, his heart is no worse than that of a young man, I don't know why Hou Ye spoke ill of him? The old man surnamed Xu sat in his position and arched his hand, and asked puzzledly, the three of them are already in their old age, and at this age, they can do whatever they want, even if they sleep with a girl from whose house, Cai Cong doesn't dare to do anything to them.

"The three of them are the pillars of the family, but now they are so stupid that they don't know if they are overturned by their children and grandchildren."

"Huh...... Hou Ye said with a smile, we are all old, so are we still greedy for power and power? As long as our children and grandchildren are doing well, then we will be content. ”

"Haha, such an open-minded old man, but how many people know what their family is doing now?"

Cai Cong put down the cup and asked calmly, and several old people said with a smile: "It's really funny, although it is a Shili heirloom, but to support the family by selling goods and making profits to support the family, it is really insulting!" ”

The old man said with some shame, not everyone can be like Cai Cong, a businessman can make the world admire and be grateful to Dade.

At best, they feed their families and let a large family live an enviable life, and they are irrelevant to others.

"Ben Hou is a businessman, how can he look down on businessmen? But ah! No matter how bold Ben Hou is in this life, there is one thing that he does not dare to sell, and that is to betray the country! ”

Cai Cong scolded and overturned the case in front of him, and everyone present bowed their heads and trembled, no one could afford to bear such a charge.

"Hou Ye don't want to frame him, although my three families buy the east and sell the west, but there is no traitor, if Hou Ye insists on framing, the old man will die here headlong to show his innocence." Mr. Xu said that he picked up an iron kettle and was about to smash it on his head, but was stopped by the people around him, otherwise he was afraid that there would be a blood splash on the spot.

"Old gentleman, take it slowly, there is a way to die and to die, I have some confessions of traitors caught at sea here, you can read it first, and we will talk about it after reading it."

Cai Cong said lightly, Da Niu sent the confession to the three old men, and after a while, the faces of the three old men turned red, turned the confession over and looked at it, and did not believe the content of the confession at all.

"One-sided words, this is just one-sided words, Hou Ye only relied on a few pieces of paper to determine that my three families collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, it is too child's play, right?"

"If there is a confession, there will naturally be witnesses, and if there are witnesses, there will naturally be physical evidence, and you are not qualified to let Benhou frame you."

What Cai Cong said is very reasonable, these families are just small shrimps in Cai Cong's eyes, which is worth Cai Cong's attention.

The guards escorted some of the prisoners up, and as soon as they came up, they knelt before the three old men, speechless in shame.

"You ...... Is everything in this confession true? The old man surnamed Chen asked in disbelief, and the prisoners nodded silently.

"Is it also true that they sold food and weapons to pirates and Goguryeo?" The old man surnamed Wu said with a hint of expectation, expecting them to say that these were all fake.

"So that the clan elder knows that the three of us have relied on the trade of food and weapons to have a smooth ride over the years, otherwise how can such a large clan make a living?" The person kneeling on the ground said bitterly, a miss is the end of no return!

"Fourteen! Do you remember what the first word the old man taught you was? ”

Xu Lao said bitterly, how could the scholarly family do such a corrupt thing?

"Remember, it's a human character, you said that standing up to the sky is a human being."

"But what you did is like a personal thing, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, full of capital crimes! What about women and children? And so you put him to death. ”

The old man slapped his thigh uncomfortably, a good family is finished now, and the eyes of the surrounding officials and gentry are as if they are going to eat them. There is no doubt about the death of the traitor.

"Ben Hou said that he would not wronged you, your descendants sold food and weapons to the bearded guests and were taken down by the navy, and now more than a dozen boats of things are all docked on the canal, Ben Hou just wants to ask what to do with the traitors?"

"Traitor...... Kill! ”

The old man gritted his teeth and struggled to highlight such a sentence, and after speaking, he seemed to have lost all his strength, and sat there dejectedly, without a trace of pride just now.

"The old gentleman is real, and his style is admirable, but it is a pity that the descendants are not angry. But you're right, traitors are punished. Today, everyone is speculating that this is the Hongmen Banquet, you guessed right, for those who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, this is his mother's Hongmen Banquet. What are you to do with the weapons they sold to the pirates to slaughter our fishermen and kill our soldiers? ”

Cai Cong stood up and asked with red eyes, if it was anything else, forget it, but traitors have been despised from ancient times to the present, and the common people also gritted their teeth with hatred when they mentioned them.

"According to the law, the three clans should be razed, and the lower official asked the marquis to order the lower official to lead people to arrest all the traitors." George Liang said loudly with a blushing face, these three families are all big families, and George Liang often comes into contact with poetry meetings, and the more he comes into contact, the more he wants to slaughter them with his own hands at this moment.

"Haha, the foundation of hundreds of years has been cut off, and the blame is especially unbearable, all blame the greed of the old and decrepit descendants, and they have no shame to see the elders of Yangzhou!" Xu Lao said sadly, walking towards the window with heavy steps.

The other two old men followed, and everyone just watched them quietly, everyone knew what they were going to do, but no one extended a helping hand to the three old elders.

As the three of them fell to the ground, Cai Congcai glanced at the people present, and said coldly: "The three families are above the wheels, and the rest of the women, children, and children are sent to Fusang, and they will be beheaded by Qiao Bei tonight. Think also of the warriors who fought at sea tonight, and what difference is between their blood and that of these traitors. ”

Cai Cong said that everyone bowed their heads and said yes, especially those officials, if you calculate it, they are at least accused of dereliction of duty, but it seems that Cai Cong does not intend to pursue it.

The island of the bearded man was surrounded by many large ships on the sea, and the men on board cast their eyes through the darkness to the clear island, where the men were waiting for their attack.

"Hou Ye has an order not to show mercy, but I remember that back then, the bearded guest sent letters thousands of miles away, so that Hou Ye saw through the conspiracy of those civilian officials, and it is precisely because of this that those of us who are soldiers will be regarded as people. After breaking the island for a while, leaving the bearded guest with his life can be regarded as returning his personal invitation for the Hou Ye, and it can be regarded as those of us in the army returning his favor. ”

Yan Tong's deep voice sounded in the ears of all the generals, after Cai Cong avenged his family, he gave his life to Cai Cong, even if Cai Cong found a family for him, he only regarded it as the task of inheriting the lineage, and only thought about giving Cai Cong his life.

"Big brother, I'm afraid that the Tang Army's formation is going to be broken tonight, and the people we sent to buy food and weapons have not returned, I'm afraid they have been arrested by the Tang Army."

"It's not that I'm afraid, but it's that is. Cai Cong is scheming, he has endured it for so long just for this day, the Tang army on this island is already clear, and I am afraid that the island will be broken tonight. The bearded guest said in frustration, living in a corner is full of limitations, and it is too late to adjust the defense of the base camp even now.
