As everyone knows, Cai Jing is known as the "public minister", and Tong Guan is known as the minister of the two traitors in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

Cai Jing Daxing granite labor, labor and money, looting the people's fat and ointment; changed the salt law and tea law, and cast the ten coins, which caused inflation in the Northern Song Dynasty and the people were not able to make a living; It is also because of the legendary "Birthday Gang" that congratulates him on his birthday, Cai Jing has a grudge with the heroes of Liangshan, and finally after Liangshan accepts Zhao'an, Cai Jing teamed up with Gao Yu and Gao Taiwei to kill countless Liangshan heroes.

However, these are just "negative news" about Cai Jing, in fact, there are many praises for Cai Jing.

For example, the famous thinker, politician and reformer "Wang Anshi" of the Northern Song Dynasty once said that after that, Cai Jing was the best candidate for the prime minister.

Cai Jing is indeed as Wang Anshi said, he has served as prime minister four times, for a total of 17 years, and he can be called the first person in ancient and modern times, and then he was the official residence of the Taishi.

Since ancient times, it is easy to be a clean official, but it is difficult to be a corrupt official, and Cai Jing, as a big corrupt official, not only was not killed by the emperor, but he was constantly in favor of saints and powerful, which shows that his way of being an official has its own uniqueness.

And after his youngest son Cai Wei took power, he also frantically looted gold silks and treasury in various places, as the private property of Song Huizong, the son of heaven, and won the holy will.

According to rumors, Song Huizong took Cai's mansion seven times before and after, and rewarded countless people, roughly using family etiquette, and each other sat and drank. Such a grand favor can be described as the emperor's grace.

Cai Guan dared to steal authority, and he also dared to use his wife and brother to serve as the household servant to control the household department, but in the face of Tong Guan, an old fox who was in the officialdom, he was not qualified enough, especially although Tong Guan was far from being in Beijing, but his military power was in his hands, Cai Guan was afraid that if he was not careful, a big change would occur.

Cai Wei told Cai Jing about Tong Guan and Tong Ying's recent changes, as well as about Wuhan University, and then honestly squatted on his side, pinching Cai Jing's arms and legs.

Cai Jing kept his eyes closed, as if he hadn't listened to his son at all.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, the vicissitudes of life of the old face bloomed like an old chrysanthemum, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Tong Ying, the son of Tong Guan, although he is a concubine, but for his father's view, there is a faint possibility of becoming a great tool. ”

"Tong Ying's son, in addition to his excellent military literacy, was not brilliant before, and suddenly his edge was revealed, and the reason for this must be in Yanggu. Since it has been ascertained that the method of making salt offered by Tong Yingjin before came from Wu Zhi, then this time Tong Guan secretly selected five hundred Xiao cavalry camp welders to go to Yanggu, which must also be related to Wu Zhi's son. ”

"You are not at fault for using the chess pieces of my Cai family to ambush in the Tong Guan Army for many years, and there is nothing wrong with tracking down Wu Zhi, but if you want to kill him, it is a big mistake!"

Cai Wei was slightly stunned, but soon regained his composure, and continued to beat his father's legs again, while saying softly and sincerely: "Please ask my father for guidance." ”

Cai Jing stared and continued: "When you are really in a high position, in the struggle for power, killing people is the simplest and lowest way. If you kill one Wuzhi, there will be a second or third Wuzhi, and you can't kill each and every one of them endlessly, one of them; Second, you, a fledgling yellow-mouthed child, can think of killing Wu Zhi and cutting off Tong Guan's wings, do you think that Tong Guan, a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, can't think of it? If my father's guess is right, Tong Guan has quietly laid a net in Yanggu County, just waiting for you to drill into it, as long as you fall into it, he will take advantage of this to make a living and shake the status of my Cai Mansion in the imperial court. ”

A little cold sweat slipped quietly, and Cai Wei was silent.

Cai Jing glanced at the son in front of him who he valued the most, sighed secretly, and explained: "Actually, you have done a very good job, but you are still a little immature in front of your father and Tong Guan." If I were you, I would choose to send someone to quietly infiltrate Wu Zhi's core power circle, first, to wait for the opportunity to win over Wu Zhi for my use, and second, we can all know what big moves Wu Zhi and the Tong family have; If this doesn't work, then there is a second way for the Father. ”

Speaking of this, Cai Jing pointed to the superstition of the word "Ximen Qing".

Cai Yan's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed, "What does father mean ......?" ”

Cai Jing was a little relieved, nodded and said: "Yes, there are many things, and we don't have to hit the nail on the head, we can choose to go step by step." For example, this Ximenqing, for his father, carefully checked this superstition, and found that Wu Zhi's henchmen were none other than Wu Song and Ximenqing, and Wu Song was a rough man, he couldn't help Wu Zhi too much, but this Ximenqing was very shrewd and was in charge of many workshops under Wu Zhi's name. You might as well find another way, starting from Ximenqing, maybe you can open a breakthrough. ”

"Although you are my youngest son, you are also the son I value the most, sooner or later, you will achieve the point of being a father and a child, and you will be a supreme minister. Remember, at this time, it is better not to do more than to make mistakes, especially the killing intent, which should not be lightly opened. Once you get used to using violence to solve problems, you will soon become an executioner of red fruits, and the wise will not take it! ”

Cai Wei stood up and bowed, "The child remembers his father's teachings. ”

This is the end of the conversation between Cai Jing and his son, and the entire Cai Mansion is still brightly lit.

It's just that I don't know if Wu Zhi is lucky or unfortunate to be noticed by Tong Guan and Cai Jing? There is also Ximen Qing, the two traitors seem to think that he will betray Wu Zhi one day, and they don't know what choice he will make.

……

No matter how the Jingshi Cai Mansion and the Northwest Tong Mansion change, today's Yanggu County is still in a thriving state.

The people quietly sent by Chao Gai have already been in place, and they have been arranged by Wuhan University as a nursing home to enter Tong Ying's martial arts arena to receive special training, and the twenty absolutely loyal nursing homes selected by Ximenqing and the fifty orphans personally selected by Wuhan University have already begun special training, and they will also be taught by Wu Song.

Wu's Brewery and Salt Mill are not alarmed and make a fortune, but Wu's Restaurant has recently become famous, with countless diners every day.

After all, the support of Master Li and Xiuhong, who were pseudonyms "Yicui" that day, as well as Tong Ying's condescending visit, had completely knocked out the reputation of the restaurant.

According to common sense, with the status and strength of Wuda in Yanggu County now, no one dares to make trouble under normal circumstances, but things always happen so unexpectedly, Wu's Restaurant was smashed!

The loss was not very big, mainly because the thief who smashed the shop not only did not leave, but injured more than a dozen guards in the courtyard of the restaurant, which is a big event.

When Wu Da learned the news, he rushed to the restaurant, only to see Wu Song fighting with a fat head, big ears and a robe-wearing thief bald donkey, and the thief was bald, and he didn't fall behind in the fight with Wu Song.

Wu Da was taken aback, and then guessed the identity of the comer.

Flower monk, Lu Zhishen!
