Chapter 249: Seeing His Building Collapse (4)
On the ninth day of the first month of March, it has reached the end of spring, the willows are luxuriant, the city of Zhuoxian is peaceful and peaceful, and the Haiyan River is clear.
It has been more than half a month since the chaos outside Zhangjiazhuang that day, and the following rebellions were also suppressed by the thunderous and angry Gongsun Fujun, and the people were busy with spring affairs, and they had nothing to do on weekdays, but they would not put those things about the rebellion unscrupulously on their lips, but in private, not only did they not let the matter calm down, but the discussion also intensified, and there was a tendency to whisper and discuss it whenever everyone met them.
After all, five or six more days have passed since the prophecy that Liu Gongzi said should have been fulfilled, and the day when the envoy sent by Gongsun Fujun to Luoyang to return is getting closer and closer.
Ordinary people also know that half a month is an imaginary number, but the time is getting longer and longer, seeing that the people sent by Taishou have not come back, and the news of "Ten Standing Servants Ambushing and Amnesty to the World" has not yet arrived, everyone will also use this matter as a conversation after tea and dinner.
In fact, in the days of the fourth and fifth days of the Lunar New Year, there were sporadic people who supported Liu Zheng to refute this remark, and since then they have been used to hearing it, although their faces are still uncertain, and they no longer have the confidence to refute it.
At the end of the day, they don't believe that prophecy either.
The riot the night before that day was raining, and no one in Zhuoxian County knew that the moonlight was revealed after that, and the starlight was dim and sparse, not to mention that Liu Gongzi was rumored to have fallen into a coma at that time, where could he have time to watch the stars at night.
Moreover, it is said that after returning that day, Gongsun Fujun was also furious at home, saying that where did Liu Gongzi read the science of astronomy and qi in the past, that is, Zigangong had not been involved much, and this nonsense was completely a remark of killing angels and stirring up nonsense, and this matter was confirmed after a certain drunkenness in the Duwei Kingdom, and others also spread it.
Liu Gongzi's ruffian-like style is now widely known, so that many people who used to take Liu Gongzi as a role model to educate their children immediately changed their words, and also caused many children to question their parents' "day and night change" when they were slapped and slapped, plus in the past, when parents did not change their words, they would also be scolded and scolded when they said bad things about Liu Zheng.
However, after all, Liu Zheng's reputation in the past spread outside, resisting the Yellow Turban thieves in his hometown, uniting Yang Feng to stabilize the situation in Zhuo County, and there are many rumors that Liu Zheng did it about Zhang County's order to change the evil and return to righteousness.
After all, it is a matter of course that people who keep filial piety will not be disturbed by others.
There are some connections in the family in Luoyang, and I have heard in the past that Yuan Shaoyuan, the nephew of Yuan Kui, was secretly making friends when he was filial piety, and plotting to remove the ten permanent servants, that is, the Son of Heaven, who had always protected the ten permanent servants, knew about it, and he just questioned Yuan Sikong and did not pursue it too much.
In recent months, among the rumors about the Ten Standing Servants, this matter has not been talked about, especially some people who have come to take refuge from Jizhou, and their words are convincing, as if they have heard of it. It's just hearsay that I don't know what it is, but since there are people like Gongzi who use this as a talking point to show off their own connections, there are naturally some people who prefer to believe in recognition, and for those angels who mess with people like Liu Zheng and other meritorious people, some people inevitably abuse and despise them.
Moreover, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei already had an objection that day, and many people had also heard of it, Liu Zheng persuaded the two of them, and then explained that they would pull their bows and kill people, and they didn't even rebel, and went back when they turned around
Not to mention seven or eight days ago, I don't know where the news was released, saying that the angel Zhao Xin is one of the ten permanent servants Zhao Zhong's henchman, and the descendants of Xixianghou, the son of King Shun of Guangyang, also have another person, there is a child named "Liu Fang" who has been in and out of the county government in the past two days, crying and crying is also accusing Liu Shi of impostor, that is, some people suspect that Liu Zheng is looking for someone to cover up the facts, but most people also believe that Tong Yan is unscrupulous, and children will not lie.
Regardless of these moral things, Liu Zheng held his bow and shot arrows really sharply that day, four arrows in a row, and the arrows were not missing, shooting Zhao Xin and Ma Ting to the ground, although Qin Qiong and Liu Shi avoided the key point, they also shot Qin Qiong's face, Liu Shi's shoulder, and there was no shortage of people who said that Liu Zheng was strong in martial arts and admired him.
It is said that Liu Shi also had sores in the official post recently, Qin Qiong also had sores and pus, and the pain was unbearable, and the two cursed Liu Zheng in the official post day and night, and Liu Zheng'an stayed in the Zhuang Mansion to keep filial piety, according to virtue, the high and low judgments, and there are also people who use this as evidence, saying that those angels are the minions of the ten permanent servants.
However, there are different opinions, and the specific truth is not known for the time being. At least now Gongsun Fujun really cares about his feelings, just let the people related to Liu Zheng stay in their respective homes with peace of mind and monitor them, if they really want things to come to light, they have to wait for the envoy to Luoyang to come back.
In fact, some people only pay attention to these things occasionally, and they care more about the whereabouts of the thieves who looted and destroyed various industries in those two days, after all, this matter has not been solved by Gongsun Fujun so far, and some rumors have already been fluttering in Zhuoxian County.
"It's impossible! That night, Ah Jin fought against the thieves, and in order to save Fen'er, he also suffered a lot of injuries, and the next day he just went to buy a medicine, and went to Zhangjiazhuang to join in the fun...... There is no evidence at this time, and you will have to look again. ”
In a restaurant in the north of the city, Cai Yang knelt by the window after breakfast, shaking his head in disbelief.
Although the losses of the Cai family in those two days did not hurt the roots, the grain and cloth were burned, and more than half of the family's needs were damaged, which was also quite serious. In addition, Cai Li is out for Liu Zheng, and now he will not be criticized for weighing it, so that several families who were still moving around in the past have also broken off contact, even if they have a closer contact with the Lu family and several other people who asked for their lives that day, this time the Lu family is about to fall because Lu Zhi offended the angel, and this posture of huddling together for warmth has also made the people inside and outside the Cai family unstable, and they almost couldn't breathe, Cai Yang also kept it in mind and has been investigating the matter in private.
A big man dressed as a martial artist on the opposite side smiled and whispered: "Childe, a certain family knows that Qin Jin saved Ling Mei, and Ling Mei is now moving the Red Luan Star...... Oh, even Ling Zun can't bear to spoil Ling Mei's lifelong happiness, under such rumors and slander, there is quite a condescending idea. Can...... Qin Jin left, who knows? ”
The big man flipped the porcelain cup in his hand, "Yes, the thief came to the door that night, and Qin Jin's strength was not small." But it was precisely because of the contribution that was not small, and the next day there was no one to take care of it. Where he went and what he did, it's not up to him to say what he wants. I have also tried his martial arts in the past two days, and the number of genres, even if he hides deeply, is finally exposed...... It has a lot to do with the Sky Breaker. ”
Cai Yang was silent, and the big man smiled: "Childe, you all went outside the city that day, and the thieves came to the door almost with a light car, but the fire was burned, and others said that there was no trace of the thief." If it wasn't a thief, who would believe it? ”
"What about the rest? I remember that day Zhang County ordered the workshop under his command, and some people did it, right? Xu is a thief to blame ......"
"A few other families asked me, I haven't said it yet, this is not Cai Gongzi's heavy reward, a certain family knew the news, so they were the first to come and tell you...... There is a blame. That night was messy, and it was a big fanfare, but there was no damage to Liu Gongzi's workshop and real estate of Zhang Xianling, and a certain family believed that according to Liu Gongzi's righteousness, it was definitely a thief to blame. In recent days, Liu Gongzi and Zhang Xianling's losses were also blamed on the thieves. But the next day...... It's too fast, and it's too coincidental. Besides, if you burn down the warehouse and leave, you won't even kill a few people, which is not like a thief's style. The matter ...... Oh, Childe, please think twice. If you don't believe it, whatever a certain family says, I'm afraid it will ......."
"No need to look it up."
Cai Yang suddenly took out a piece of gold from his arms, the big man was stunned, and smiled and touched the gold into his sleeve, "The son is really temperamental." Thinking about the heavy rain afterwards, the family was also auspicious, and there was not too much damage. A certain family has just done this business, and in the future, they will ask their son to take care of it, as for Qin Jin, a certain family must be tight-lipped as ......"
"I want you to keep your mouth shut about everybody, and say you can't find anything."
Cai Yang's face was firm, and he put the saber on his waist on the table, "That Min Qi, Ma Tai and the like have been despised by the prince and the lieutenant recently, and they have the idea that those who inquire about the news are all thieves. Not long after Min Qi and Ma Tai left, you took care of such things, if I report to the county order and convey the government king, do you think ......"
"Hehe, the remuneration is enough, the remuneration is enough, Cai Gongzi still don't want to beat...... A certain family has also been sincerely afraid recently, lest it anger the monarch. I still hope that Cai Gongzi will be a man......"
The big man patted Cai Yang's knife, "Leave a line for each one." ”
The big man smiled, and was about to pick up chopsticks to eat the bread, and a famous boy stepped up on one side of the steps, and the person came before the sound came, "Yo!" Isn't this our Cai Gongzi? And this kind of Yaxing goes out for a walk? Sister Ling wants to commit herself to these cheap people...... Oh, it's cheaper than me, why don't you go back and stop it a lot? Hahaha! ”
Seeing Cai Yang's face slightly gloomy, the big man smiled and picked up the bowl, got up and whispered: "A certain family gave Cai Gongzi a last word." Rumor...... The Montenegrin army came back one after another, and there were also some gossips about asking for orders and serving ten permanent servants. Liu Gongzi said the proverb that day, Cai Gongzi has not forgotten it, right? ”
Cai Yang was stunned, saw the big man walking towards the stairs with a bowl, and bowed his head to greet the boy when he passed by, the boy did not respond, and the big man also greeted the two sons who followed him, and then went downstairs, Cai Yang hurriedly got up to chase, and the hand of the boy who left first opened the folding fan "snap", and stopped it with a horizontal hand, and the two sons and two doormen behind him blocked the way, Cai Yang frowned and said: "Yan Song, Cai ......"
"Isn't that Zhao Hong? With the same name as the Wancheng Yellow Turban Thief, this son thinks about it...... Liu Zheng and Zhang Man have a good deal, and Zhao Hong is Xu this Zhao Hong. Cai Yang, you colluded with the Yellow Turban Thief, didn't you want to ......"
The son-in-law named Yan Song raised his eyebrows, and Cai Yang swept to the other two son-in-law brothers with a cold face, "Uncle Bao, Ma Zhongju, don't you get out of the way?" ”
That Bao Liang Bao Shuxian made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Brother Cai, why don't you sit down and talk?" Liang also has something to say to you. ”
"Summer insects can't speak ice. You and I are different, please respect yourself! ”
Cai Yang arched his hand, pushed Yan Song's hand away, and was about to leave.
That Ma Rong Ma Zhongju hurriedly straightened his chest and stopped, "Cai Yang, Yan Gongzi and Bao Gongzi sincerely invite, you don't want to toast or eat and drink!" ”
"Cai has something important to do, please don't ......"
"Something important?"
Yan Song snorted coldly, saw several guests on the second floor looking over, glared at him, looked at the appearance of everyone bowing their heads, and said coldly: "Master Cai, Yan also has something important to discuss with you." Since Yan can't get married, I don't know, is it enough for Uncle Xian? If it's not enough, I still have someone, and I will let Ling Mei ask for a good son-in-law, if you go, I'm afraid that you won't be able to speak in the future. ”
"You?!"
Cai Yang's face sank, and Bao Liang arched his hand helplessly, "Please also ask Brother Cai to sit down." ”
"Shameless!"
Cai Yang snorted coldly at Yan Song, turned around and knelt down, and soon after, everyone sat down, Cai Yang looked at Yan Song with a smug face, and secretly gritted his teeth.
Speaking of which, Yan Song is Yan Sheng's grandson.
Since the angel was killed on the day of the fight, Liu Zheng was besieged in the Zhuang Mansion by the county soldiers, and the Yan family and the Bao family jumped extremely hard, even at the gate of the county government, they dared to scold, saying that Gongsun Zhan reversed right and wrong and bent the law for personal gain, and said that he colluded with thieves to persecute Zhongliang and occupy the fields, even if he had nothing to do with the thieves that night.
In fact, this kind of thing has happened a few times from time to time in the past half a month, and there are many people who come and go, but the most outstanding ones are businessmen like the Yan family who are trying to tie up with Qin Qiong.
That day, Gongsun Chan protected Liu Zheng and Lu Zhi, after all, he was at a loss, and since then, he has not even caught the thieves who persecuted the property of various families, although he has pacified several waves of thieves, but those thieves attacked the property under the name of Liu Zheng and Zhang Ke, and many people relied on the unscathed property under the name of Zhang Ke and Liu Zheng in the riot that night, and they were more suspicious of Liu Zheng, which also made many people applaud and praise the thief as a righteous person, and Gongsun Chan naturally became a mob who helped to abuse him.
Cai Yang also heard that those thieves were summoned by the Yan family, the Bao family and other families, and colluded with the more than 100 people who defended Zhao Xin that day to seek revenge, but he would not believe all the rumors.
It's just that Gongsun Chan didn't take care of the people who supported Zhao Xin and the others that day as Liu Zheng said, except for Qin Qiong, Liu Shizhi and others who protected them for their lives, and they didn't even beat those who abused them, as if they were waiting for someone from the court to convict and then investigate, the Yan family and the Bao family thought that they had succeeded in their prestige, and they also believed that Liu Zheng was bound to die, and even Gongsun Chan was going to fall.
Of course, these practices are still slight in the social circle of the elders, after all, the villain's power is despised in the circle of these years, the Yan family thinks that they are businessmen, and they still want to climb up, so it is impossible to expose the faces of the philistine, but the younger generations, who have nothing to do on weekdays, are touted, and have no connotation, so they naturally overflow their thoughts in their hearts, and their style is also unscrupulous on weekdays.
This Yan Song got carried away before, and even did not invite the matchmaker through his parents, but made his own opinion, and asked the matchmaker to go to Cai's house to talk about the matchmaker, and wanted to instigate the matchmaker to put his posture higher, and there was no lack of threats in the matchmaker's words to threaten Cai Li Mingzhe to protect his life, and to serve the Yan family as soon as possible so as not to cause the disaster of extermination, Cai Li is not easy to deal with his generation after all, and he found out the whole story from the mouth of the matchmaker, knowing that Yan Song made his own opinion, tried in vain to tie up the Cai family, and even annexed the Cai family's family and slowly turned to the Shi family, so he was naturally furious, and he was a few Yan Song businessmen and Jia lowly and delusional.
Since Liang Zi is married, Cai Yang has had a lot of trouble when he is targeted by the other party, whether he is going out to socialize, or resting at home, from time to time there will be people who are friendly to the Yan family to come to the door, or pay respects. There are some that are still difficult to refuse, and Cai Yang himself, or his peers in the family, have also suffered a lot.
Among them, Ma Ting's son Ma Rong is the most crazy, as soon as Ma Ting dies, Ma Rong can be said to be isolated, and he is like a mad dog, following Yan Song to bite people when he sees them, if it weren't for Cai Yang's martial arts, the Cai family's family background is also quite rich, but I'm afraid that just like the disciples of several small families I heard before, being cut off by this Ma Rong and breaking their hands and feet is a blame, and it is inevitable to rob women's relatives.
In Cai Yang's view, this Bao Liang is actually using Yan Song and Ma Rong to set off his own demeanor to win people's hearts, and maybe he still has the idea of pretending to be a good person to make others submit in front of Yan Song - he is a little clever guy in the Bao family.
"Where does Brother Cai speak, when it comes to shamelessness, where is that Liu Zheng shameless. deceived Ling Zun and the people in Zhuoxian County to trust him, and finally did such a rebellious thing, and deceived the world with proverbs, which is a heinous crime, and everyone will be punished! ”
Yan Song fanned the folding fan and smiled, "As for Yan, the beauty of adults, where is it shameless?" It's Ling Zun who said that I am cheap, and you are disrespectful, didn't Yan admit it? Yan is polite enough to the anti-thief party. ”
"My Cai family is not the same party! Yan Song, if you ...... again"
"Okay, good, not the same party, not the same party."
Yan Song laughed nonchalantly, sat casually with his legs bent, put one hand on the armrest of a wooden stool, folded the folding fan and pointed at Cai Yang, "Then Brother Cai has considered Yan's opinion?" Now that the Bao family and the Yan family have cultivated the good of Qin and Jin, your Cai family and the Bao family are both scholars, and they were forced by Liu Zheng together, why don't you also contribute to good things? It's better than the doomed Lu family, as for the lowly people in the nursing home...... Haha, Brother Cai is really eye-catching? That's fine. ”
Ma Rong poured wine, "I can't, it's okay to let me be a concubine." No, the daughter of a sinner is my concubine, and at most I can only give it to others, so as to promote the ...... of elegance."
With a "snap", Cai Yang slapped the knife on the desk and glared at Ma Rong, "You don't deserve such a name!" ”
"You're a traitor, and you dare to speak out?!"
Ma Rong glared, "What do you want?!" You have the ability to kill me! Dog stuff, offal! Traitors ......"
This series of words is easy to say, in fact, Cai Yang has heard Ma Rong talk about it many times recently, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but the two standing doormen were already ready to go, if he did it, he might not be able to please him, so he got up and wanted to leave.
Then Bao Liang hurriedly came over to stop him, "Brother Cai, don't be impatient." Brother Zhongju, you are taking care of Bao's affection, and don't neglect Brother Cai. At this point, we have to talk about business. ”
"Cai has nothing to say, ...... farewell"
"Sit down!"
Yan Song shouted.
Seeing that the two doormen blocked the way, Cai Yang clenched his saber: "Yan Song, don't deceive people too much!" ”
"The prince of the palace doesn't dare to say such things to my family, are you sure you don't think about it carefully?"
Yan Song pressed his hands on the desk and leaned over, "And your sister Cai Fen, and in the year of Xu, your father is still shaking, do you really not think about her happiness and persuade your father?" Qin Jin is just a reckless man in the mountains, and Yan can let people kill his whole family with a move of his fingers. Shuxian is a good man, and he also knows current affairs, if you really don't want to...... Oh, Zhongju heard that the thieves are going to make trouble again recently, and this time they are going to rob your daughter. Your mother is frightened, and she has been sick lately, right? Don't let your mother see Cai Fen's sister being ...... by many, many men Hehe. ”
These words were very casual, Yan Song sat back after speaking, listening to Ma Rong nodding in agreement, Bao Liang also pretended to be, and asked about the source worriedly, Cai Yang gritted his teeth, and his heart was angry.
At this moment, several exclamations suddenly sounded outside the window.
Immediately after, the sound began to spread, gradually expanding, and in a matter of moments, the whole street was filled with the sound of commotion.
Cai Yang was stunned, and hurriedly looked out the window, and saw people talking to each other, whether they were peddlers or merchants, they all gathered together to talk, and they couldn't even take care of business.
In the small boat in the river in the distance, there were still people who couldn't catch up, so they jumped off the river and swam to the shore, and after a few words with others, they also shouted together.
The scene was noisy, and Cai Yang listened to "Liu Gongzi ......" and "...... over there. O man of God! Yunyun suddenly recalled Zhao Hong's words in his heart, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
After a while, there was a sudden commotion below the restaurant, and it didn't take long for Xiao Er to run up with an excited expression: "God! God! Ladies and gentlemen! Someone from the court! Ten permanent servants, February 19, amnesty to the world! The prince of the palace will soon lead the troops to Liangzhou to crusade against the thieves! This time also brought a notice to arrest the rest of the Ten Standing Servants, and Zhao Xin was included! Liu Gongzi must be innocent! ”
"Smack!" With a bang, Yan Song folded his fan to the ground, and his body turned his head stiffly and said, "What did you say?!" ”
