Chapter 200: Two-Faced Traitor
There were several warm-hearted mountain people who were worried that after they left, Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi would have friction with the officers and soldiers again, affecting Cai Xunzhen's mother and son, and they wanted to stay, but Cai Xunzhen refused them one by one.

After all the mountain people left, Cai Xunzhen took matters into his own hands, and while backfilling the grave with Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi, he said to the two: "Xing'er, you will return to Chang'an in a while." Before I leave, I have something to tell you, not for anything else, but I hope that after hearing this, you will be wary of certain people, so that you will not know their ways in the future. ”
Lai Xing'er had already expected that Cai Xun really wanted to tell him about the life experience of the little white dragon when there was no one around, and now when she heard her say this, although the wooden shovel in her hand did not stop, the expression on her face couldn't help but become solemn.
"If it hadn't been for that long neighing from the dragoon today, maybe I would have missed it." Cai Xunzhen said happily.
"Ryoma? Are you referring to the little white dragon? ”
"Yes. As expected, this mount that Yu Chengen gave you should be the descendant of my family's dragon horse. Cai Xunzhen saw Lai Xing'er's confused expression, so he began to talk from the beginning, "Twenty years ago, I, Li Tengkong, Xin Twelve Niang and the three of them were the daughters of the eunuchs in the Chang'an Dynasty, among which I and Twelve Niang were born in the family of military generals, and only Tengkong's sister's father was a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and his family was an authentic scholarly family.
My father served in Liangzhou in western Xinjiang for many years, during which he was presented with a rare dragon horse produced by the Kang Guoyue Branch, which not only far surpassed other kinds of war horses, but also had an advantage that other horses could not reach, that is, it was from the beginning to the end, once it recognized a master, then others would not want to control it again. It is also because of this that after my father got this dragon horse, he did not take it as a tribute and presented it to the emperor who was fond of horses at that time, but he did not admit that it brought disaster to our whole family.
Xing'er, you are still young, and you have limited knowledge of the situation in the previous dynasty, I can only tell you now that soon after my father was hated by the Yang brothers and sisters who were in power at that time, and was transferred back to Beijing, he was sentenced to death by the emperor for accusing the emperor of my father's unauthorized use of dragon horses and plotting against him, and the whole family of more than 200 people escaped from me......"
Speaking of the sad past, Cai Xunzhen's voice began to choke.
"Similar to the experience of the Twelve Niang and Li Tengkong, although on the surface they were all caused by the fact that the fathers of my family offended the powerful Yang family in power, but in fact, it was someone who found provocation to tell the emperor, which caused the three of us sisters to end up with a ruined family.
Yu Chengen is kind on the outside and ruthless on the inside, just because the fathers of the three sisters are dissatisfied with the eunuchs in the court, and they have all written one after another, asking the emperor to reduce the power of the inner court, which has led to the jealousy of a group of eunuchs, including Yu Chengen, Yu Chengen took advantage of the convenience of him being in charge of the provincial prosecutor's office, and instructed someone to secretly find out the secret reasons of our three families, and took the opportunity to report to the emperor and deliberately framed him.
When my three homes were copied, it was Yu Chengen who personally took a group of lackeys from the prosecutor's office to announce his will and personally copied the home. At that time, including my family's dragon horse and the silkworm clothes of the Twelve Niang's family, these family heirlooms were all looted by Yu Chengen and filled his private pockets.
Over the years, after many investigations by the three of us, the three sisters learned that the reason why Yu Chengen was able to stand out among the tens of thousands of eunuchs in the previous dynasty and rise to the top largely relied on leading people to confiscate our three families and swallow a lot of property privately. Later, he gave most of the income to the Yang brothers and sisters, in exchange for their appreciation and recommendation of himself, in less than a time, that is, from a seven-grade inner temple uncle to accompany the East Palace of the prince of the inner fang, and then again attached to the prince at that time, just like this, until now, it can be said that the official fortune is prosperous, and the three dynasties have been honored.
As far as I can guess, in addition to the intention to win you over to him, one of the most important reasons why he gave you this little dragon horse is probably because the little dragon horse does not recognize him, and there is no one around him who can control it. ”
After Cai Xunzhen said this, Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi just filled in the grave. Lai Xing'er tried his best to find some examples from his little experience with Yu Chengen that could confirm Cai Xun's truth, but he couldn't figure it out, but he vaguely noticed from the fact that Wang Yuncong resigned due to the theft of his ancestral grave in his family for more than two years.
Cai Xunzhen turned his head and saw that the group of officers and soldiers who had been ordered to summon Lai Xing'er to return to Chang'an had stood up one after another, so he urged Lai Xing'er and the two of them: "I also just heard you say that the little dragon horse was given by Yu Chengen, so I remembered a lot of past events, and told you about this, yes or no, it is up to you to distinguish and experience it." Okay, the little sister has been buried in the ground, and your intentions have been fulfilled, don't let the sergeants wait anxiously, let's say goodbye here. ”
Liu Yan was sent by Cai Xunzhen to stand at the foot of the hill before, and at this time, he saw Jiang Zhongshi going down the hillside with Lai Xing'er to leave, so he stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Zhongshi's clothes, and begged reluctantly: "Brother Shi, you have to promise me one thing, and you will come to live in my house in the future and teach me the ability to subdue the beast." ”
Only Lao Huang was alone, watching Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi under the custody of a team of officers and soldiers, saying goodbye to Cai Xunzhen's mother and son, and walked away, looking back at the little sika deer struggling on his donkey cart in disappointment, shook his head helplessly, and led the donkey cart down the mountain.
Jing Yuncong was anxious to send someone to Zhongnan Mountain to summon Lai Xing'er to return to Chang'an, in addition to begging him to do so because Jinping couldn't rest assured that Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi couldn't do it, the main reason was that Jing Yuncong was anxious to hand over a very important and urgent matter to Lai Xing'er to do.
When the news that the emperor was preparing to move the capital to Luoyang reached Chang'an, Jing Yuncong immediately drafted a recital urging the emperor not to move the capital, and sent it to Shaanzhou, but three days passed, and this recital was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news. Out of concern that the emperor would abandon Chang'an and move the capital to Luoyang, Jing Yuncong drafted a recital again, ready to hand it over to Jing Zhao, and he personally went to Shaanzhou to meet the emperor and present the recital.
