Chapter 84: People Grow Old and Become Fine

Even Lao Meng, an executioner who kills people without calculation, is also chilled when he hears their words, looking at the seven old men who drank tea and soup indifferently, and the grandson who is respectfully serving behind them, Lao Meng can't help but tremble.

"So good. You know? This wound is really painful, and I am still thinking that after the injury is healed, I will take 5,000 elite soldiers to attack some families, exterminate a few clans, and vent my anger. It's just that you do this, who should I go to for this injury? ”

When Cai Cong said at the end, he stroked his wounds and looked down at the seven old men, like a hungry tiger in the mountains that had not eaten for a long time, looking at the seven old goats under his mouth.

"The matter...... It's not what we do. If he kills you, the emperor will not give up, and the army will inevitably break through Shandong. Compared with the survival of a few untalented clansmen, we still know what to do and not commit such stupid things. ”

Old Man Lu looked at Cai Cong's eyes silently, and only after a long time did he shift his gaze and said with a sigh. He found out that the majesty of the Seven Families was completely nihilistic to Cai Cong, Cai Cong only had one mother with a title, and the other clansmen were simply mud legs, and they were not afraid of the majesty of the Seven Families in Confucianism, officialdom and the people.

"Really, not?" Cai Cong asked step by step, Old Man Lu looked at Cai Cong squarely, and said solemnly: "My seven families swear that if we do it, the clan will be wiped out, and heaven and earth can be learned." ”

"In that case, the matter is abandoned. But if there are any more stumbling blocks in Shandong, I will destroy my family. Cai Cong said coldly, this kind of old man swore that he would not cheat, and at this age, he became more and more afraid of heaven and earth.

But he was angry in his heart, since he was not a member of the Seven Families, who could it be? Zhang Liang? Or is it the eldest grandson Anye? Or is someone stirring things up behind the scenes? But he didn't exclude these old people who didn't believe in God's curse, and he felt his head hurt when he thought of it.

"There is still one thing here, the angel is extraordinary, the daughter of the folk family is not worthy of being married to you for a hundred years, my seven families have the daughter of Zhong Min, all of them are well-behaved and beautiful, if the angel is interested, you can choose one of them to marry, my seven families are in the same breath, and they will fully support you in the future."

Old man Lu Xing said with a smile, everyone in the world is proud to marry a woman with five surnames, even princes and generals are no exception, and it is a great honor for Cai Cong to be able to choose a woman with five surnames at will, he doesn't believe that Cai Cong can refuse.

"I'm still young, so there's no rush on this matter. I will pass on orders to people from all over Shandong, and I will no longer target the scholars. But if anyone dares to play yin behind his back, this official guarantees that even if the emperor recalls me, I can make Shandong corpses all over the field. ”

Cai Cong unceremoniously rejected Lu Xing's suggestion, and even mercilessly intimidated the people present. Lu Xing's face was very ugly, even the emperor didn't dare to treat the seven families like this, Cai Cong's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, it was simply lawless.

"Angels rest assured that the Seven Families also put the people first and will not dig their own graves. After the incident, the old man and the others said goodbye. Lu Xing said lightly, and the seven of them got up and left with the support of their grandson.

"I hope you will take the words of this official to heart. If anyone pulls their hind legs, then the people of Shandong will not have much way to live, and this official does not mind letting them die at all. Cai Cong looked at the old man who turned around and was about to leave, and said more plainly.

The seven old men trembled, walked slowly without speaking, what kind of characters were they? When was he repeatedly threatened?

"Huh...... I know you're all big guys, and the official is so young, so that's what you said? There is no hair on the mouth, and the speech is not firm. But what do you think of smallpox? As long as I want, Shandong will be plagued by smallpox at any time. ”

As soon as Cai Cong's words were finished, the seven old men suddenly turned around and glared at Cai Cong, how could there be a trace of old age? One by one, it's like eating people.

Cai Cong tucked the quilt for himself, and said nonchalantly: "Don't look at me like that, I'm different from you, you people, it's just dirty, you can use any means to achieve the goal, I'm different, I'll tell you in advance, if you're not afraid, we'll compete again." ”

"Isn't it despicable to say that the old man and others are dirty?" Lu Xing gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, he could naturally hear the confidence in Cai Cong's words, not to mention that they didn't dare to take this risk.

"So I'm telling you, it's best not to hold back, or I won't blame me for the burning of jade. Lao Meng sends off guests! Cai Cong was already very impatient, he found that since he was reborn, he had become more and more impatient, and now he simply relied on scare.

The seven old men trembled angrily, shook off their grandson's hand, and just wanted to get out of this place that made them lose face as soon as possible. Frightened, the faces of several grandchildren changed greatly, and they hurriedly followed, if something happened to their ancestors, the elders of the clan were afraid that they would bury them alive and bury them with their ancestors.

"Grandfather, how powerful my seven families are, half of the officials in the court are involved in my seven families, just a hairy boy, why are you so jealous of him?" Li Xian's grandson on the carriage asked puzzledly, looking at that expression, he couldn't wait to pick up a knife and go around to kill Cai Cong. Everywhere he goes, he is held by the stars, and he is like an out-and-out pride of the sky.

Not to mention the ancestors of his family, everywhere the officials and gentry greet each other, get a comment, you can become famous in Shilin, and occasionally promote, it is even more prosperous. and here today they are in such a disgrace.

Li Xian had a trace of anger just now, and calmly half leaned on the mat and closed his eyes to recuperate. Hearing his grandson's words, he opened his eyes, and there was no trace of cloudiness in his two eyes, clear and wise.

"This incident was originally a test for the emperor, and this prodigy's request was unexpected. However, his actions also show that the emperor is already very dissatisfied with us families, even if we are his relatives, he will not treat us specially. ”

"Grandfather, are you saying that this is the emperor's answer to our temptation?" Li Xian's grandson, who was in his early twenties, said with wide eyes and surprise, as the successor of the next generation of the family, he knew all these secret things.

"Yes! That's not good! This emperor's heart is better than that of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and he does not allow the family to affect the imperial power at all, if he frees his hand, he will inevitably attack the family. The old man sighed and shook his head, the future was worrying

"In this case, it's not impossible for us to start first, and then support an emperor."

"That's so easy, the world is in chaos, and the family is also at great risk, do you think there are only seven of us in this world since ancient times? Besides, this emperor is not ordinary! He is like a true dragon, if he really rebels, he will surely rain dragon claws from nine heavens and kill all rebellions. ”

Li Xian said bitterly, this emperor is too powerful, in the case of repeated weakening of power, he can still seize the most appropriate opportunity, kill his brother with the least number of troops to force his father to abdicate, and achieve the supreme throne.

"Even so, what is this Cai Cong? How dare you take advantage of people's power and humiliate us so much? Li Xian's grandson was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his grandfather to speak so highly of the emperor, and finally came back to his senses and said unwillingly.

Li Xian looked at his grandson, and then said earnestly: "As a person in power, you have to learn to look at the long term. What is a Cai Cong? Even if he threatens the Seven with the plague, we won't care too much. But he represents the emperor, and it is disrespectful to the emperor to make a move against him, which is unwise.

Instead of being angry with him, it is better to raise him high. This son is not afraid, his mind is uncertain, and he is often threatened by the burning of jade, this is true for the Turks, this is true for their captain, and it is the same for us. After a long time, the emperor will be afraid.

Think about it, if it doesn't go well, he will be burned, if he is in a high position, can he tolerate other opinions? Will the emperor still tolerate pointing fingers at him? Wouldn't it be better to have the emperor personally order him to be killed when the time comes? Those who are above do not need to do everything themselves, they must learn to borrow their strength and hide themselves. ”

After Li Xian finished speaking, he ignored his thoughtful grandson, closed his eyes and closed his eyes. At his age, he felt low in energy and tired when he moved casually, so he seized all the free time to recuperate.

This scene was also staged in the carriages of the other six families, and the eldest children and grandchildren would all experience such a scene, and only the words and deeds of the old fox could grow up quickly and become a qualified family successor.
