Chapter 073: A New Beginning
During the Qingming season, it rains,
Pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.
By asking where the restaurant is,
The shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village.
Du Mu's poem expresses the heartbroken pain and the sorrow of old friends when people living in the world mourn their deceased relatives.
Today is Qingming,
Today, this is the first time Cai Dao sincerely mourns a person, the first friend who died for him in this life.
Today is also the day when Cai Dao left Bianliang and set off to return home.
There will be a new beginning.
……
Wang Da, Cai Dao thought that the name was not solemn enough, so he re-named him an official name, called Wang Bodang.
Whether there is indeed such a person in history, Cai Dao does not know, but Tian Lianyuan, who loved to listen to Tian Lianyuan's commentary "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" when he was a child, is called this name by the general who refused to betray Li Mi until he died.
He had already been buried, but before he was about to leave for the distance, Cai Dao must go to Wang Bodang's grave to toast him and tell him that all his family members are living well, and his youngest son has now replaced Cai Ban and Cai Bucket and has become one of Cai Dao's personal disciples.
Now, Cai Ban and Cai Bucket already have official bodies, in addition to Wang Bodang's youngest son, Cai Dao also promoted Zhang San's son to be his personal Taoist, and he is now the only one in the family, and he doesn't even have a wife, so he can only envy and hate Zhang San.
These two boys, because of this assassination incident, they were blessed by misfortune, and Song Shenzong specially ordered to crown the two as deputy lieutenants of Rong this time, don't look at them as the lowest Jilu officials, they have no official position, but the two of them can get such an honor, presumably Grandpa Cai Xi got the news at home, and his mouth was crooked.
Song Shenzong originally wanted to reward Hua Qianyi, Wang Bodang, and Zhang San, but Hua Qianyi and their brothers were all the same urine, and they would rather mix in Bianliang City than be a forbidden army. If they were to be crowned with military positions, they would rather die than agree.
Cai Dao also didn't quite understand their thoughts, he was just a Jilu official, and he had no actual position, with Cai Dao protecting them, he didn't have to worry about them being sent to the front line to fight.
What's more, Hua Xuanyi and his twenty or thirty brothers, after the battle between the Black Tiger Gang and the Royal Street, although only one Wang Bodang died, but most of the crippled brothers were disabled. If you only give some money and things, Cai Daoyu will be at ease!
Although Cai Dao is an otaku, he is not a stingy and ruthless person, and he arranges for those crippled brothers to temporarily manage the people of Genyue's grange. It doesn't hurt to lack arms and legs, Cai Dao first asked his carpenters to build a batch of wooden wheelchairs, so that these brothers could respond to emergencies, and if they got more Yunnan horses in the future, they would let these brothers take the Yunnan horses as their substitutes.
The poor in the city have no money to buy a cemetery, and they are usually buried in mass graves outside the city.
Cai Dao naturally would not let his brother, who died for him, become a wandering ghost.
Originally, according to Cai Dao's plan, he planned to bury Wang Bodang in Wudang Mountain, anyway, the weather is still cold now, so there is no fear that the corpse will rot on the road. In less than ten years, once Zhao Maid is in power, he is very likely to become a close confidant of the new emperor. At that time, it would be easy for Cai Dao to make meritorious contributions, and he could also borrow his unwarranted master to turn the entire Wudang Mountain into his own Taoist temple.
It is a pity that since ancient times, Chinese people have paid attention to their homeland. At that time, when Cai Dao said his plan, Wang Bodang's family didn't say it, but looking at their expressions, they knew that they were unwilling, but it was just because his identity was not easy to refuse. Cai Dao did not force it, so he bought a large piece of wasteland in the southern suburbs of Bianliang City, and allocated a small part to Wang Bodang as a resting place.
At that time, Hua Xianqi came out of Wang Bodang's house very angry, and said noisily that Lao Wang's Hun family was very unhappy at all, and he said that if he died, he would definitely let Gongzi bury him and his wife in Wudang Mountain, which was the Xianshan Cave Mansion where the old fairy once cultivated!
There was no rain in Qingming this year, and there were not many pedestrians who went in this direction to pay their respects to their loved ones.
Early in the morning, Cai Dao and his entourage rode out of the city on horseback, with solemn faces, followed by a big car, which Cai Dao specially hired to pull Wang Bodang's family.
Cai Dao's right arm was not yet neat, and he sat in the well-groomed and brand-new carriage, and it was Dean who drove him.
It took more than an hour for everyone to come to Wang Bodang's grave.
Wang Bodang's family lit incense, cleaned up weeds, and sent offerings.
The inscription was written by Cai Daoyang begging the old man Sun Jue himself, and Cai Dao couldn't understand the content anyway, so he specially asked the stonemason to engrave an extra sentence on the tablet '*******'!
Whether the reader is a negative person or not, Cai Dao has not personally verified it, but the previous sentence made Cai Dao deeply feel the cuteness and respectability of these dog slaughterers.
Standing in front of the tombstone, Cai Dao couldn't help but feel sad, his tears were uncontrollable, and he choked up and said, "Uncle Wang, don't worry!" Everything is fine at home, you should be reincarnated as soon as possible to join a good family. ”
"Uh......h Woo, brother! Woo...... Woo, you can't drink with your brother anymore. This is the best wine given by the child, you can satisfy your cravings underground! Hua Xianqi jumped off the horse, holding two large wine jars in his hands, and sat on the grave, howling so earth-shattering that he shed more tears than Wang Bodang's Hun family.
Cai Dao led Cai Ban and Cai Bucket, knelt on the grave, kowtowed three times, toasted a glass of wine, and then said goodbye to everyone and left Bianliang.
……
Cai Dao left Bianliang this time, and the time it took was not short at all, and he had to rush back before the autumn harvest at the earliest.
This time he left Beijing, Cai Dao only had three purposes.
First, in order to complete the second side quest given to him by the system - to visit the prodigy.
He Zhengchen, the only famous prodigy in Beijing, had a grudge with Cai Dao, and Cai Dao visited him several times, but he was turned away. And the other two prodigies known to Cai Dao, Cai Boyu and Fang Zhongyong, the two of them are not young now, and they may return to the West at any time. Therefore, Cai Dao must hurry up.
Second, go back to Xiaocili's home, look at the situation at home, and find out if those subordinates in the family are steadily developing Cai Dao's hidden power at sea according to the plan made by Cai Dao before.
If possible, Cai Dao is ready to bring all the 108 orphans he took in into Bianliang City, after all, they (she) have already registered with Song Shenzong.
It was precisely with this that Cai Dao was able to persuade Song Shenzong to allow him to leave Beijing.
After all, many of these children are younger than Cai Dao's, and without him to take care of them, he himself does not worry about others taking care of these children on the road.
Third, it is to see how the blacksmiths at home are studying!
Money and official positions are things outside the body, and one's own life is the most important thing.
Before Cai Daolin entered Beijing, he had already drawn the structure of the flintlock pistol that he knew, and handed it to Cai Xi's grandfather, and repeatedly told him that such a thing was very important and a very important thing.
This assassination reminded him of that sentence,
Haven't you seen a ghost and are you not afraid of the dark?
This time, he only broke an arm, but he almost took the life of a little confused.
If, Cai Dao suffers another assassination like that.
A failed assassination attempt is enough to attract the attention of the other party.
Enemies lurking in the shadows will surely make more elaborate plans and send more cunning and ferocious assassins against them. At that time, will Cai Dao himself be so lucky? Even if you have a system and can withstand most of the crises, what about these people around you? The little dazed injury has already sounded the alarm for him.
Said a little confused.
It's a pity that this time, Cai Dao can only leave Xiao Miao alone in Bianliang City.
Because she hasn't woken up until now, Cai Dao also specially asked Imperial Doctor Tian to come and see her.
After the diagnosis, he said that the injuries inside and outside the little confusion had healed, and the wound did not show any signs of infection, and the reason why she still woke up until now was because she had suffered a head injury before, which affected her head.
As for Cai Xiaoya, Cai Dao has not paid attention to her since Xiao Mi was injured for her.
Therefore, Cai Dao left Beijing this time, only taking Cai Ban and Cai Bucket with him.
Song Shenzong was naturally not at ease, Cai Dao only took such a few people out of Beijing alone, so he arranged for Dean to take a battalion of forbidden troops to personally protect the three of them.
