Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.inforeadx;? Yan Hui took out the confession from his arms, first looked at Shangguan Xiu, and after receiving the latter's signal, he bowed his body and respectfully presented the confession to Tang Ling,

Tang Ling took it curiously, unfolded it, her face suddenly sank, and her brows wrinkled deeper and deeper, and when she finished reading the confession from beginning to end, she angrily threw the confession to the ground, and said angrily: "It's just nonsense, it's willful,"

Yan Hui hurriedly bent down, picked up the confession, and carefully handed it to Shangguan Xiu, when Tang Ling looked at it just now, he had already taken a look at the contents of it, and in the confession, Cai Xiao was not involved from beginning to end, which made him a little surprised,

He threw a puzzled look at Yan Hui, but Yan Hui shook his head helplessly, and bowed to Shangguan Xiu again, saying that he was not doing well and failed to involve Cai Xiao, Shangguan Xiu smiled and waved his hand at him, signaling that he didn't have to blame himself,

How did Tang Ling reprimand Cai Huang just now, in her heart, Cai Huang stole the military uniform designed by Gu Qingling, and then sent someone to assassinate Gu Qingling, just nonsense, just willful nonsense, if Cai Huang is replaced by Cai Xiao, it is estimated that she may not even say a word of reprimand,

Shangguan Xiu said: "Stealing other people's designs and selecting them in front of His Majesty has already committed the crime of deceiving the king, and then he did not repent and sent someone to assassinate him, which is even more heinous, this is not as simple as nonsense and willfulness,"

When Tang Ling heard this, his face changed again, and he subconsciously asked, "How does Ah Xiu plan to deal with this matter?"

"Of course, it will be handled according to the law and dealt with according to the law," Shangguan Xiu said as a matter of course: "Murder is small, bullying the king is big, and the crime of bullying the king is not a child's play, if even the crime of bullying the king cannot be strictly dealt with according to the law, in the future, won't everyone dare to bully the king?"

Shangguan Xiu's words are equivalent to blocking Tang Ling's words of intercession for Cai Huang, Tang Ling and Cai Huang have a very good personal relationship, it is precisely because the personal relationship is very good, so Cai Huang committed such a serious crime, she only said a word of nonsense, willful, of course Shangguan Xiu could not let Cai Huang go so easily,

Tang Ling asked, "Ah Xiu is...... Going to kill him,"

"According to the law, it should be beheaded," Shangguan Xiu Zhengse said,

To kill Cai Huang, Tang Ling is indeed very reluctant, there are not many people who have participated in her childhood, Cai Huang is one of the few, but this time Cai Huang's crime is indeed too big, if she insists on not punishing, the intention of covering up is too obvious, it is not easy to explain clearly on Ah Xiu's side, >

Her eyes darkened, and she asked, "Can't Ah Xiu give him a way to live, how about not killing him and letting him spend the rest of his life in prison?"

Shangguan Xiu shook his head and put Cai Huang in prison, that is no different from not punishing him, with the Cai family's ability and skill, it won't take long to get him out, he said faintly: "Xiang'er, don't forget, there is still a gambling contract between you and Qingling,"

Tang Ling didn't understand what he meant, what did his gambling contract with Gu Qingling have to do with Cai Huang's assassination?

Shangguan Xiu said: " Xiang'er and Cai Huang have a close personal relationship, this is something that many people know, now Cai Huang sent someone to tattoo Qingling, what will others think, others will not think that it is Cai Huang's own opinion, only think that Xiang'er can't afford to lose, so let Cai Huang assassinate Qingling, from now on, Xiang'er will leave a narrow-minded image of a faint monarch in people's hearts, in order to keep Cai Huang, Xiang'er has to pay such a big sacrifice, is it worth it, Cai Huang never considered Xiang'er's situation when he did things, Xiang'er can remember his childhood friendship, it is already considered to be benevolent to him, ”

Tang Ling's face changed uncertainly, and after pondering for a long time, she asked, "What crime does Ah Xiu plan to punish him for?"

"The sin of deceit,"

"For the crime of deceit,"

"It's enough," Cai Huang committed two capital crimes this time, one is to bully the king, and the other is murder, Shangguan Xiu doesn't want to publicize Cai Huang's murder of Gu Qingling, one is for Tang Ling's consideration, he is indeed worried that after people know about this, they will think that Tang Ling is the main messenger behind the scenes, which will damage her emperor's reputation, and second, he is also thinking about Gu Qingling, although she is a victim, but if Cai Huang is executed because of her relationship, how can Cai Xiao and even the Cai family let her go,

Instead of leaving trouble, it is better to directly convict Cai Huang of bullying the king, anyway, they are all one death, and the result of one crime and two crimes is the same,

After thinking about it, Tang Ling finally nodded and said, "This matter, just do it according to Ah Xiu's wishes," Shangguan Xiu did not rekindle her old relationship with Gu Qingling, in her opinion, this is already a very difficult thing, if she blindly makes things difficult for Gu Qingling and shields Cai Huang who murdered Gu Qingling, it is equivalent to forcing Shangguan Xiu to Gu Qingling's side, Cai Huang is far from important enough to affect her relationship with Shangguan Xiu in her mind,

Tang Ling's concession is also equivalent to completely deciding Cai Huang's fate.

The task of arresting Cai Huang naturally fell on the head of the lieutenant's mansion, and after Hua Ning received the order, she shook her head and sighed again in the lieutenant's mansion,

Breaking into Cai's Mansion and arresting Cai Huang, how can it be so easy, if you can't get it, the people in the Lieutenant's Mansion can't even enter the gate of Cai's Mansion,

Besides, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Cai's Mansion, what kind of master is not, once there is a conflict, the Lieutenant's Mansion doesn't know how many people will be killed or injured, with His Majesty's favor to Cai Xiao, even if there is a conflict, the final responsibility for not being able to do it will have to be borne by the Lieutenant's Mansion,

Hua Ning is not stupid, she will not really take people to break into Cai's mansion and arrest Cai Huang, but chooses to wait, and after Cai Huang leaves the mansion, he will be arrested outside the mansion.

Cai Huang is not a lady who stays at home, how can he stay in Cai's house every day and not come out,

During this time, Cai Huang ran outside every day, if nothing else, for the merger of Baifeng Cloth Village and Eleven Cloth Village.

In the past few days, Cai Huang has traveled all over the eleven cloth villages, coercion and temptation, and various lobbying, hoping that the family members of each cloth village can terminate the cooperation with Baifeng Cloth Village.

The family members of each cloth village were very polite to Cai Huang's visit and treated them with VIP gifts, but for the termination of the cooperation with Baifeng Cloth Village, people were vague and ambiguous, that is, they did not give a clear answer.

Gu Qingling's promise to them is very clear, in the future, the military uniform business of Baifeng Cloth Village will be the same as now, and it will be done by the division of labor of twelve cloth villages, which is a long-term income, how can people be willing to give up,

Moreover, since they changed to the signboard of Baifeng Cloth Village, the business has not deteriorated, but the sales of each cloth village have risen in a straight line.

Today, Cai Huang specially went to visit Shunxing Buzhuang, but he did not see Xia Chi, who said that the illness was not out, and Cai Huang left the Xia Mansion with a stomach.

On the way home, Cai Huang sat in the carriage, angry, Xia Chi, this old thing, is so bold, he dares to be sick, is Baifeng Buzhuang giving him such a big courage?

He lifted the curtain and called, "Qin An,"

Hearing his summons, Qin An got into the carriage and said, "Childe,"

"Still no news from Thirteen,"

"No," Cai Shisan's arrest, the Cai family didn't get any rumors, Cai Huang naturally didn't know that something happened to him, Cai Huang gritted his teeth, and said in a condensed voice: "Useless things, even if the Cai family raises a pig, it is more useful than him,"

Qin An shrunk his neck and looked at Cai Huang cautiously,

He felt that since he arrived in Xijing, the temper of the second son has become more and more irritable, and he has lost all the gentleness and elegance when he went to Beijing.

Cai Huang will have such a big change, of course, there are reasons, first, the change of the environment will indeed affect people's mood and make people irritable, second, the rebels are in turmoil, the four eastern counties have fallen, and the Cai family's industry has suffered heavy losses, which are all the fruits of his Cai Huang's painstaking management for many years, how can he be comfortable in his heart, third, the deflated in Gu Qingling's hands has dealt a heavy blow to Cai Huang's pride and self-confidence, but after so many days, Cai Shisan has no news at all, Gu Qingling is still alive and well, Cai Huang's patience has been polished,

After a while, Qin An said in a low voice, "Childe, there is one more thing,"

"Say,"

"The news I just got, Gu Fu ...... Gu Fu made another posthumous donation this morning, and the amount of silver donated has reached fifteen million taels, surpassing us again," Qin An's voice became lower and lower,

When Cai Huang heard this, he slammed the wall of the car, gritted his teeth and said: "This damn woman, where did she get so much silver, what qualifications does the Gu family have to fight against our Cai family,"

"Childe, I suspect, is...... It's the Sitong Silver Number behind Gu Qingling......"

Without waiting for Qin An to finish speaking, Cai Huang interrupted impatiently: "I don't care who is standing behind Gu Qingling, this time, I must compare her," after a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Qin An, you go to Qianzhuang, propose six million silver tickets, donate them all, and go immediately,"

Six million, Qin An was excited, and if he wanted to donate another six million taels, then the Cai family's donation this time would reach 20 million taels, and then counting the lord's donation in the court, the total was 30 million taels, even if the Cai family had gold and silver, they couldn't stand it up to donating like that.

He grinned secretly and whispered, "Childe, this matter ...... Let's discuss this matter with the lord again, after all, it's six million taels of silver......"

"No need to discuss, just six million taels of silver, I can still do the Lord, this donation, involving the golden signboard and the title of the first imperial merchant, is very important, as long as we can take the lead, take these two, no matter how much we donate now, we can double the income in the future,"

In this matter, Cai Huang is not simply angry with Gu Qingling, he is also very discerning, foreseeing the importance of the golden signboard and the title of the first emperor, no matter who it is, as long as he can win these two things, even if he sells baked cakes, it is estimated that he can sell it to become a hegemon, the richest man in the country,

Cai Huang's tone could not be refused, Qin An nodded, and said, "Childe, I'll do it with someone,"

"Don't send someone to go, you go yourself, Xijing is not as good as Shangjing, be careful,"

"Yes, Childe, but Childe ...... now"

"I'll be back home soon, you don't have to worry, go quickly,"

"Yes, Childe, my subordinates will retire,"

"Hmm," After Qin An took the order and left, Cai Huang sighed, leaned back, and closed his eyes tiredly,

He always has a feeling that this donation is like a watershed for the Cai family, if it wins, the Cai family can at least continue to prosper for a hundred years, if it loses, I am afraid that the Cai family will not only lose the name of the first family, but even may go downhill.

He rubbed his forehead gently, when he went to Beijing, he never dreamed that the Gu family, who was left alone with Gu Qingling, could become his confidant and force himself to such a point.

Gu Qingling, must die, Gu family, must be extinct, Cai Huang was pondering in his heart, suddenly, with the sound of the horse's roar, the carriage stopped suddenly, Cai Huang, who was sitting in the car, was defenseless, threw himself forward, and almost rolled out of the carriage,

He was struggling in the car, and it was not easy for his body to steady, and he lay on the ground, feeling a warm liquid running down his forehead,

He subconsciously raised his hand and touched it, feeling that his palm was sticky, and when he looked up, his palm was full of blood, Cai Huang was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire, and he yelled angrily outside the car: "What's the matter, who suddenly stopped the car,"
