It is said that after the Duchess of Song Guo returned to her courtyard, she saw An Tong waiting in the hall, so she went to the inner room to take out the secret letter hidden in the secret compartment.

At this moment, a female servant ran over from the direction of Song Guogong's study and whispered to her ear.

After hearing this, Duchess Song walked into the hall with her eyebrows locked and said to An Tong: "Yun'er! Keep this letter away! My aunt has had the carriage ready for you. When you return, you must give this letter to your father in your own hands, remember! Be sure to get your hands dirty! Remember? And tell him to see the big picture! Don't take other people's word for it! ”

An Tong asked at a loss: Auntie, what's wrong, is there something going to happen?

Duchess Song replied cautiously: Yun'er, don't ask so much, just do what your aunt says.

Although An Tong was still full of doubts, but the prudence of the Duchess of Song Guo made her nervous, she put the letter into the wide cuffs in a panic, and said goodbye to the Duchess of Song, and hurried to the back door of the Song Duke's mansion.

An Tong walked not far from the back door and found Chai Zheng and Song Jialan holding hands and sitting on the swing.

She didn't want to disturb them, but Chai Zheng saw her, so she had to walk towards them.

Song Jialan saw An Tong at this time and ran away with a shy face.

Leaving only Chai Zheng's reluctant expression, An Tong talked to Chai Zheng for a while, and the two of them said goodbye to other friends in the Song Mansion together, and then got in the car from the back door and went home in a panic.

Along the way, An Tong was feeling something, and Chai Zheng, who was unaware next to him, seemed to feel something, so he asked curiously: Sister, what did my aunt say to you today? An Tong tilted his head, looked at Chai Zheng, and thought: I must not tell him my speculation, and I must not let him worry as much as I do.

So he said to Chai Zheng: "Brother Zheng, it's nothing, my aunt and their family, we are entertaining guests today, and it is inconvenient for us to be there." After speaking, he looked straight ahead and fell into deep thought.

When Chai Zheng heard this, he didn't want to ask anything, so he also fell silent.

The carriage rushed all the way to Chaifu, and An Tong's heart also rushed. I don't know how many streets I crossed, and the carriage finally stopped in front of Chaifu.

Servants came out of the Chai Mansion one after another, waiting for An Tong and Chai Zheng. I saw a person in charge, walked to the front of the carriage, respectfully lifted the embroidered curtain on the carriage and said: Childe, Miss, when you get home, get off quickly!

An Tong and Chai Zheng got out of the car, and with the support of the servants, they entered the Chai Mansion.

As soon as An Tong passed through the garden, she bumped into her personal maid Yueying, and she asked urgently: Baby, is my father in the house?

Yueying replied strangely: Miss, what's wrong with you, the master has just come back, and he is discussing things with the guests in the main hall at this time.

"Guests? Who, baby," An Tong asked with some curiosity.

"Miss, I don't know the specifics, I heard Steward Wu say just now that it's from the Xu family." Yueying replied to An Tong.

"The Xu family? Which Xu family? An Tong then asked.

"Miss, you don't even know the Xu family, the Xu family is the pacification family that holds the power of life and death in Anzhou." Yueying looked around and said close to An Tong's ear.

"Yes! Got it, baby, you're busy! An Tong said with a heavy heart. After hearing this, Yue Ying turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Let's say that Chai is standing next to watch her sister and her girl muttering, I don't know what to say. I felt bored, so I said goodbye to my sister and went back to my "Wangshui Zhai".

After An Tong looked at Chai Zheng and walked away, he hurriedly walked to the main hall to find Chai Kuangye.

As soon as he walked to the side door of the main hall, he heard Chai Kuangye talking to someone, An Tong cautiously walked behind the door and eavesdropped.

I only heard that inside, there was a person who was saying to Chai Kuangye: "Master Chai, in today's world, in fact, I don't say it, you also know." Yu Song has long perished, although there are some people, there are still people who think of Yu Song, vainly trying to coerce the Song State Mansion to make a comeback, but these are all in vain, it is just a pipe dream. Only the new Song Dynasty belongs to the hearts of the people, and the current king is where the destiny of heaven lies! I also hope that Master Chai can recognize the situation and help the court to exterminate the rebellion, which is also for the sake of the people of the world! ”

After hearing this, Chai Kuangye got up and walked back and forth in the hall, and then said to the man: "Why are you looking for me to help fight rebellion?" Isn't there any other rich merchant in the New Song Dynasty?

After hearing this, the man smiled and said: Old Master Chai's father, the old lady, is the patriarch of the three dynasties of the Yu Song Dynasty and the New Song Dynasty, and your old father-in-law is now a generalissimo, let's put it bluntly! The king knows that you and Ling Qianjin are both businessmen now, but he just wants you to spend money to show your attitude.

After Chai Kuangye heard this, he thought to himself: First the soldiers surrounded my Chai Mansion to rob my daughter, and now I have not participated in the rebellion, but I have to spend money to express my position! It seems that the rumors are true. In today's king, mediocrity and incompetence seem to be true.

"Master Chai! Master Chai! Did you hear what I said? ”

Chai Kuangye came back to his senses and said: My Chai Mansion has always been loyal to the king, although I am married to the Song Mansion, but my sister and brother-in-law have never been rebellious, I don't know who used the name of the Song Mansion to launch a rebellion?

"Well! Master Chai don't ask more, the king asked you to express your position, and didn't arrest you indiscriminately, this is trust. ”

After hearing this, Chai Kuangye sneered and said: To be honest, it's good now, the contemptible people think that there is really no need to rebel, no matter what era, it is always the common people who suffer, what to say for the sake of the world, and when it is done, I am afraid that it will be forgotten to the queen of the clouds. However, Lord Xu came to visit in person, and it was really an honor for the contemptible people, and the contemptible house also followed Peng Shen. For this, I will donate 1,000 taels of silver. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned a servant with his hand and brought him a box.

Chai Kuangye walked up to him and opened the box, which was full of silver and silver taels.

"I am willing to serve the court a little bit, Master Xu, please smile." Chai Kuangye turned around with a smile and said to the man.

After seeing that person, he swore to Cai Kuangye and said: "Master Chai's loyalty to my new Song Dynasty is really like a blue sky and a white sun!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a brocade box from his bosom and opened it to see that it contained a jade ring.

"Master Chai gave this to you, this is given to you by the king today." The man said excitedly to Chai Kuangye.

After hearing this, Chai Kuangye took the jade ring, pretended to be flattered and said to him: "The grass people are willing to do their best for my king, and then die!" ”

Chai Kuangye listened to the decree, the edict: Taishi Chai Nianzong's door, full of loyalty, must have something long, the former Chai Kuangye for the Xitong County Order, was framed, dismissed and returned to the hometown, after a strict investigation, it is indeed an unjust case, and now the special member Chai Kuangye is the governor of the ancient city, is the fifth product, and is in charge of the ancient city business.

"Someone! Give the official uniform to Master Chai! As he spoke, several officials walked in with official uniforms

After Chai Kuangye knelt down to listen, he thanked him, was very excited, got up happily, took the official uniform, and swore that he would be loyal to the country in the future!

After the man heard this, the letter was true and said: "Since Master Chai has already expressed his position, I won't say anything more, see you tomorrow in the ancient city yamen, after saying these words, let people put away the silver two, say goodbye to Chai Kuangye and leave." ”

Chai Kuangye saw that the man had gone away, and suddenly said to himself: "Phew! What is it, the traitors who usurped Yu Song and kept saying that they were for the country and the people, but in fact they were selfish! If I hadn't been able to escape, how could I have been in the same stream as you! ”

"Father, well done!" After An Tong heard this, he suddenly said proudly.

"Who's it, come out quickly! I already see you, don't hide it! Chai Kuangye shouted.

An Tong walked out from behind the side door of the main hall and said to Chai Kuangye, "Father, it's me." ”

Chai Kuangye saw that it was his daughter, his eyebrows lowered a lot, and then said to An Tong: "Yun'er, what are you doing here, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"Father, Yun'er is looking for you for something."

"Oh, what's the matter!" As he spoke, Chai Kuangye sat on a chair in the middle of the main hall and drank tea, looking like an official.

"Father, aunt, she asked me to bring you a letter." As An Tong spoke, he took out an envelope from the sleeve of his jacket and handed it to Chai Kuangye.

Chai Kuangye took the envelope and tore it open, reading it seriously.

At this time, An Tong also quietly came to Chai Kuangye and watched with Chai Kuangye.

I saw that the letter read:

Brother, now that the court is corrupt, your brother-in-law and I decided to take the opportunity to restore the country, Brother said before that my father's dying words, I think the time is ripe, and I can't delay it any longer, I hope Brother can raise military rations for your brother-in-law。。。。。。。 It was stamped with a seal, and when An Tong wanted to see what was engraved, he was discovered by Chai Kuangye.

He quickly put the letter away, put it in the envelope, and said to An Tong: "Yun'er, no matter what you saw just now, don't tell anyone else, do you hear?"

"Hmmm! Father, don't worry, Yun'er knows how to do it. An Tong assured Chai Kuangye.

"It's good to know, your mother passed away early, and I'm always busy with my career. Since you were a child, you haven't enjoyed much family affection, so your father must let you live a happier and more noble life than others. After speaking, he looked at An Tong affectionately.

An Tong thought of her parents with some emotion at this time, so she looked at Chai Kuangye and said with tears in her eyes: "Father, Yun'er has always been proud to have a father like you!" ”

"Okay, Yun'er, my father is a little tired, it's okay, you go back to the room." Chai Kuangye said a little tiredly.

"Okay, father, you have to take care of your body, don't get too tired." After speaking, An Tong slowly walked in the direction of the boudoir where he lived.

As soon as she walked out of the corner door of the main hall, a familiar figure appeared in front of her.

This person is none other than the big man who gave treasures to the Duke of Song Guo's mansion.

For a while, An Tong recalled the words he had eavesdropped in front of the main hall of the Song State Mansion. She began to analyze the sentences, as if they were all related to Chai Kuangye.

She hurriedly followed, eager to learn the truth of something from him.

After passing through many halls, the figure of the big man suddenly disappeared.

When An Tong was wondering, she suddenly heard a voice from the side room next to her, she slowly took off her embroidered shoes, and carried them in her hand, and quietly walked to the door of the side room, wanting to eavesdrop on what she heard.

I heard the voices of two men talking from inside.

An Tong quietly approached the window, poked a hole with his finger, and looked inside.

What she saw was Chai Kuangye talking to the big man.

An Tong was afraid of being discovered, so he lowered his head again and continued to eavesdrop with his ears.

"Master, the things you asked me to send, my aunt's family accepted them, and told you not to worry, they will consider it." After speaking, he walked behind Chai Kuangye and gave him a slap on the back.

"Tian Hu, I'm sorry for you, I've helped me so much, I just received a letter, when I take control of the military power and become a prince, I will definitely not treat you badly." As he spoke, he turned around and patted the big man on the shoulder.

"Master, where is it, if you hadn't avenged me back then, I'm afraid that I, Tian Hu, would have died in the hands of those dirty officials in the first dynasty. You also offended your boss for this, and you lost your position and returned home. So far, I ruined your future! After speaking, the big man burst into tears.

"Where, Tian Hu, as your parent official at the time, I should have avenged your grievances. It's just that society is rotten and the situation is collapsing. I was an official who spent money and donated, so I recruited that traitor to frame me, and I ended up dismissing the official and sending him to the countryside. It has nothing to do with you. As he spoke, Chai Kuangye took out a silk handkerchief from his body, handed it to the big man and said: "Come and wipe your tears, since ancient times" men don't flick when they have tears, like you, what kind of system." ”

"Physique? Master, our Tianhu is a rough man and has no culture, thanks to the fact that the master did not give up and stayed by his side, he is already a person with a small fortune. This is all borrowed from your light, sir, just for this, do you think I can cry without being moved? Where can you still take care of the word system! Dahan said sincerely to Chai Kuangye.

After hearing this, Chai Kuangye said loudly: Tian Hu, I really didn't misunderstand you, you are loyal, brave and benevolent, and now there are fewer and fewer people like you. I can get your help, it seems that the great cause will be accomplished! ”

After hearing this, the big man swore like Chai Kuangye and said: "I, Tianhu, am willing to follow the master for the rest of my life, and follow the work of dogs and horses." ”

Hearing this, An Tong became more and more puzzled, it turned out that Chai Kuangye had been an official, why had he never heard anyone say it. There are also a series of questions such as the crown given to the Song State Mansion, where did Chai Kuangye get it, and so on, which appeared in her mind.

She did not dare to listen any further, lest she would have more doubts, so she slowly left the place, put on her embroidered shoes, and went back to her boudoir.
