"The lacquer worker is good to say, but the jade craftsman is not. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Knowing that the deer collar needs craftsman talents, Zhao Bu said directly.

Yu Buzhi smiled and was not polite: "Later, you will give me the person, and the jade craftsman will help me pay attention to it." ”

"Okay."

"Jiangzhou is the seat of the county, how can there be no jade craftsman?"

Zhao Bu glanced at Yu Buzhi and sighed faintly: "There used to be, but Yizhou has been in constant war over the years, the Yellow Turban Army, Wudoumi and Yimin have been in turmoil one after another, and the people's livelihood has been seriously affected. ”

There is another point that Zhao Bu did not say, and that is the tense situation in Ba County.

Liu Yan wanted to remove Zhao Bu from the position of Bajun Taishou, and Zhao Bu did his best to protect himself, which is no secret in Yizhou. The Ba County Army did not let go of the Wuling Army's crossing of the border, Chen Bing Ba County and Wuling Border Zone, and the troops of Yizhou Mansion were also stationed around Ba County, under the banner of galloping to aid Zhao Bu, but in fact, they were eyeing Ba County, and those who were a little more active knew what was going on.

Ba County has become an unstable area in Yizhou where war is most likely to break out.

War clouds are thick, and the future is uncertain.

A small number of Bajun families were worried about the situation and did not want to stand under the dangerous wall, so they began to transfer their clans and properties to other places, so as not to trap the whole clan in the future when the war broke out.

The local wealthy families are still like this, and the number of foreign caravans in Laiba County has also decreased significantly.

As a direct consequence of the reduction in caravans, there was a problem with the flow of goods.

Some materials with low production capacity have soared in price due to insufficient market supply, and export-oriented products with large local production capacity have been backlogged due to the reduction in caravan purchases, and the price has continued to fall. Although the war has not yet broken out, the impact on the livelihood of the people in Ba County is becoming more and more obvious.

Jade is something that rich people play with, and it is not highly related to people's livelihood and health, and it is more affected.

All in all, even with Yuan Shao's support, Zhao Bu's life was still not easy.

Although the threat of being attacked directly by the Yizhou government is relatively low, Ba County still has to bear pressure from all sides, and unless some form of reconciliation is reached with the Yizhou government, this situation is unlikely to change completely. If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Bu had been operating in Ba County for many years, he had a good reputation in the local area, his foundation was not weak, and many local wealthy families were willing to support him, I am afraid that Liu Yan would not have sent troops to fight him, and Ba County would have been in chaos without a fight.

Zhao Bu had no better way to deal with this, so he could only endure silently and wait for a turnaround.

"There is another thing to tell you, I have found out the person who secretly instructed Cao Yin to enter Ba County."

Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Who?" ”

"Cai Mao."

"Is the news conclusive?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, it's like this......"

After listening to Yu Unwise's statement, Zhao Bu's brows furrowed, and he said after a while: "How could you provoke the Cai family?" ”

Zhao Bu insisted on the crossing of the Wuling army, claiming that Cao Yin conspired to attack Jiangzhou City and subvert his rule over Ba County, but everyone understood that this was his excuse to protect himself. It is true that the Wuling army entered Ba County, and it is not false to bring siege equipment, but the object that Cao Yin intends to subvert has never been Ba County Taishoufu, but Chalu Ling. Cao Yin is just a knife that has been called, and the one who is really hostile to the deer is the one who holds the knife.

Since Cai Mao is the mastermind behind the scenes, it is obvious that Cai Mao is hostile to the Zhulu Leader.

Being able to make him hesitate to invite Wu Lingkou and Wu Ling Jun to attack at the same time, this hostility is not so simple.

Yu Buzhi screamed and hit the sky.

"How can I provoke him? It's just inexplicable! I wonder if it's that guy's head is convulsive......"

"No, you don't know the family."

Zhao Bu Zhengrong said: "What the family says and does, most of them have one thing running throughout, the stakes and the stakes. It is the instinct of the family to seek benefits for the family and avoid losses, and it is absolutely impossible for a big family like the Cai family to attack a territory so far away from Xiangyang for no reason. ”

"The Cai family has risen over the years, and the means used may not all be bright, but it is undeniable that those unbright means are also for the benefit of the family. Judging from Cai Mao's actions after becoming the head of the Cai family, this person is very bold, ruthless, and unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal, and people like him will not easily do impulsive things. ”

"The head of the family represents not only power, but also responsibility."

"The Cai family has been passed down for many generations, and Cai Mao is well aware of her responsibilities. Cai Mao's father is Xiangyang Dashi Cai Wei, although Cai Wei is no longer the head of the family, if Cai Mao dares to act willfully, Cai Wei will not agree. ”

"So, I don't think Cai Mao will find the deer leader for no reason, there must be a reason."

Yu Buzhi smiled bitterly: "If I had known why that guy found me, I wouldn't have such a headache." Zhululing and the Cai family have never had anything to do with before, and when they first fought with Wulingkou, Zhululing was a second-level township, and I hadn't even left Dianjiang, how could I have a grudge with the Xiangyang clan? ”

Zhao Bu nodded, even if Yu was not wise and bold, there was no chance to provoke the Cai family at that time.

"According to what you just said, the problem should be Xu Yuanzhi's mother."

Xu's mother took in the woman named Yan Ji for a night's rest, but was suspicious of Cai's family, and Cai's private army of domestic servants failed to stop Xu's mother, and later did not hesitate to let Wulingkou take action. Acting like this, ordinary families may not be able to do it because of their reputation, let alone the Cai family of Jingzhou. If my expectations are correct, that Yan Ji must have something very important to the Cai family, so that the head of the Cai family will get it at any cost. ”

Yu Buzhi was taken aback: "What could be something very important to the Cai family?" ”

Zhao Bu was angry and funny: "How can I know? You can check it from Yan Ji. ”

Yu Buzhi burst into tears: "Yan Ji was accepted as a righteous daughter by Mother Xu and lived in Yuanzhi's house. ”

Zhao Bu did not speak.

He has known Yu Buzhi for so long, and he knows very well that Xu Shu is Yu Buzhi's right-hand man and is deeply trusted. With the importance that Yu Buzhi attaches to Xu Shu, unless there is direct evidence, it is difficult to imagine that he will clearly check Yanji.

How to check Yanji, this is a housework for the deer, and it is inconvenient for Zhao to say too much.

What he can do is to try to help the fish unwisely analyze the stakes.

Yu Buzhi said again: "Yan Ji may be from the Xiangyang Yan family, the Yan family has declined after being attacked by Wuling Kou, an orphan daughter of a declining family, what is there to chase after the Cai family?" Does the Yan family have great interests, or does he have a secret that is enough to make the Cai family jealous? ”

There was a long silence in the room.

Zhao Bu suddenly said: "There is one thing, I have always felt a little strange. ”

"What?"

"Do you think that Wu Lingkou is too deeply involved in this matter?"

The fish was unwise and stagnant, frowning and thinking.

Zhao Bu continued: "It's not once or twice that Wuling Kou has invaded the Zhulu Territory. ”

"Your Chase Deer Territory is not an ordinary territory, the military is very strong, and the foreign wars have repeatedly set impressive records, and as the scale of the territory continues to increase, the strength and influence of the Chase Deer Territory continue to grow. Although Wuling Kou has a good reputation, but in fact it is still difficult to get rid of the nature of the Liukou, accustomed to bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and knows how to see the wind and steer the rudder, and the commission they take must be confident and capable of doing it, and the difference is only in the price. ”

"Wu Lingkou chased and killed Xu Mu's meeting, and its strength was far above that of the Zhulu Leader, but when they attacked the next two times, they were already on the weak side, and their force was not enough to threaten the Zhulu Ling, and each time they returned with a feather. According to the usual style of the rogue, they should have stopped a long time ago, but they continued to run to be humiliated. ”

"Losing his life in vain, but still persevering, is it just for Cai's entrustment?"

Of course not!

If the rogues didn't know how to see the situation clearly, seek good fortune and avoid evil, they would have been destroyed a long time ago.

A flash of inspiration flashed in the fish's mind.

"Could it be that this matter is also related to Wuling Kou's vital interests?"

Zhao Bu thought for a while and said, "It's indeed possible, but I don't think it's very likely." What kind of thing can make a Jingzhou clan take risks, and let a gangster group do whatever it takes? Two groups so different, with little in common, that I can't think of anything that could make them both so nervous. ”

Yu Buzhi's eyes were blazing, and he said, "Yan's attack!" ”

Zhao Bu's eyes lit up.

The beneficiary of the attack on the Yan family was the Cai family of Xiangyang, and it was Wuling Kou who did it.

This incident caused a stir in Jingzhou that year and became a public case, and the outside world generally believed that the Xiangyang Cai family bought Wu Lingkou to make a move. A big family like the Cai family actually colluded with the rogue to forcibly destroy the competition, obviously crossing the red line of family feud, and the impact was extremely bad. In addition, not long before the attack on the Yan family, the unbelievable fire of the Du family also benefited the Cai family, and the outside world was extremely disgusted with Cai's unscrupulous means.

Although Tsai flatly denied it, no one believed their claims.

There is no direct evidence to prove that the incident was committed by the Cai family, but the revenge of the Du family and the Yan family for blood did not arouse the condemnation of the world, but gained sympathy.

Everyone has a scale in their hearts.

There was a time when people from the Cai clan were beaten and killed almost every day in Xiangyang, and the Cai clan became a rat crossing the street. The Cai family once pinned on the government's forces to suppress it, but neither the Xiangyang County Government nor the Nanjun Taishou Mansion fully endorsed the Cai family.

The government is not a fool, knowing that the Cai family has a major suspicion in this matter, the anger of the various families in Xiangyang has reached the extreme, if it is forcibly suppressed, it is likely that the angry public resentment will continue to escalate, and finally it will be out of control. On the other hand, most of the officials of the county government and the Taishou Mansion are children of local families, take Xiangyang County Government as an example, there are many people in the four major families in decline who work in the county government, these people are too late to hate the Cai family, and the people in other families are also the same enemy, how can they help the Cai family to shelter from the wind and rain?

It was only when Cai Shi endured hardships that he realized what a terrible thing it was to offend the public.

Cai Mao came out and made a public oath, purely out of necessity.

The fire of the Du clan and the attack of the Yan clan by Wuling Kou allowed the Cai clan to easily defeat the Xiangyang family alliance, but it was difficult for the Cai clan to agree with such behavior. You must know that Cai Mao's father Cai Yan is a famous man in Xiangyang, with a good reputation in Jingzhou, and Cai's can marry Zhang Wen and Huang Chengyan as in-laws, not only Cai's net worth, but also Cai's reputation, if Cai's reputation is notorious, do you want Zhang Wen and Huang Chengyan to marry Cai's daughter? No way!

After the incident, Cai's internal condemnation of Cai Mao was overwhelming.

As far as family expansion is concerned, Cai Mao is the biggest contributor, but the sequelae left behind are too serious.

In addition to the clansmen being beaten and killed, Cai's business was suppressed by other families, the children of the scholars were squeezed out by their colleagues, the students were sent home as gifts, and there were many public occasions that refused to allow the Cai clan to enter......

All the revenge fell on the Cai clan, and the clansmen were naturally dissatisfied with Cai Mao.

Of course, even within the family, Cai Mao didn't dare to admit that those two bad things were related to him.

Once recognized, his position as head of the family will definitely not be guaranteed.

It was precisely because he did not admit that his father Cai Wei had a great reputation in the clan, so he did not change the head of the family in the end. In the end, Cai Wei personally came forward to ask the government to be a witness, and Cai Mao made a public oath to the outside world, and the families in Xiangyang reluctantly accepted it, and the incident gradually subsided.

At that time, if there was evidence to prove that the two public cases were related to Cai, it would be difficult for Cai's to get out of the way.

Not only is it difficult for the Cai family to get out, but Wu Lingkou will also be in big trouble.

Wulingkou is a rogue, and it is the duty of the rogues to attack Yanjiazhuang for wealth (although Wulingkou rarely does his duty), but if Wulingkou attacks Yanjiazhuang is instructed by the Cai family, the nature is completely different, and the family colludes with the rogue, maybe someone in all dynasties has done it secretly, but it is definitely not allowed on the surface.

Once someone openly crosses the red line, the end is not far off.

Wulingkou is no exception.

Wuling Kou has been at large for so many years, not because the local government is incapable of exterminating them, but because they are troublesome, and the bandits have to fight with their lives, and it is better to have more than one thing. However, if there is evidence that Wulingkou and the Cai clan colluded, the government would not be able to continue to pretend to be stupid, and if Wulingkou was not exterminated, be careful of the unstable official position.

Look at the Zhulu Collar that has been repeatedly attacked by Wuling Kou.

Now it seems that Wuling Kou is eyeing the deer leader, most likely because of Yan Ji.

Cai Mao instructed Cao Yin to attack Zhulu Ling, and it was probably because of Yan Ji.

Yan Ji is just an orphan daughter of a declining family, and the status of a woman is not high, even if the Yan family has great family interests, according to family practice, Yan Ji is not qualified to know these things. Moreover, when Yanjiazhuang was attacked, it happened suddenly, and when reinforcements from other families arrived, Yanjiazhuang was not fully breached, and the head of the Yan family temporarily told Yan Ji the secret, which is also unlikely.

Cai Mao and Wu Lingkou didn't let go of Yan Ji, not because of interests.

As Zhao said just now, there are two words running through the actions of the wealthy family: interests and disadvantages.

This sentence reminds the fish that they are not wise.

Since Cai's family does not let go of Yan Ji, it is not for "benefit", is it "harm"?

Is it possible that Yan Ji has some information that makes both the Cai family and Wu Lingkou feel threatened?

For example, evidence that can prove the collusion between the Cai family and Wu Lingkou!

From the perspective of time, when Xu's mother first met Yan Ji, it was not long before Yanjiazhuang was attacked, and at that time, Cai's should have become a street rat in Xiangyang, embarrassed. If Yan Ji had evidence in her hand, not only would Cai Mao be finished immediately, but Wu Lingkou would probably be buried with her.

It is a matter of life and death, and they cannot be unsatisfied.

Although it has been a few years, once the evidence is exposed, its lethality will still not be much inferior!
