Most of the people who stammered were businessmen in Jiangyuan City and the surrounding areas who made a living on the edge of the law, because the army in charge of Cai Heng was part of the Weiwei Expansion Army, and it was the first echelon, that is to say, the defense of the capital was the general Cai Heng in addition to the Weiwei. It is this relationship that makes Shang Jia think that Cai Heng is not in the palace, but he is the closest person to the power in the palace.

Wang Zan also used this as an excuse to buy off the housekeeper in Cai Heng's mansion, pretending to transport coal into the mansion, and then saw Cai Heng after being introduced to Wang Zan by the housekeeper.

Sixty thousand taels of silver accounted for two hundred thousand taels of three times, and Wang Zan attached so much importance to Cai Heng, it is estimated that he was also afraid of his status as a reserve army for the palace guards. Wei Weiyong had already been desperately following Duan, so Wang Zan and others gave up their rebellion against Yong.

Cai Heng's annual Yulu and various subsidies are only 600 taels of Zhu Tiyin, and no one will be tempted to get a hundred years of Yulu in the blink of an eye, let alone refuse to meet. The day before yesterday, the housekeeper reported this matter to him, and he did not see any hesitation, and it was estimated that he had already been fattened by Shang Jia.

The two wanted to see each other not in the main hall but in the study, and those who didn't know would think that the two were old friends, so as to confuse Duan's eyeliner. Taking off his armor, Cai Heng was no different from the shopkeeper of the shop, and he would never think of the general in front of him who was actually Gongwei Jiangyuan.

Wang Zan saw Cai Heng who was busy writing in the study, and the housekeeper introduced the two of them to him, saving some greetings, and Cai Heng asked directly: "What is the matter with Mr. Wang?" ”

"Don't hide it from the general, be entrusted by others, and ask for nothing." Wang Zan was afraid that Cai Heng would hesitate or regret after weighing the pros and cons for a long time, so he sold Guanzi.

"Oh, sir, don't you dare to say it, how dare I accept it?" Cai Heng asked.

"Back to the general, it's not a big deal." Wang Zan responded.

"Interesting, I, Cai Heng, have never refused such silver taels, but what Mr. today said made me panic."

"General, I can do much as a merchant selling sea salt, just to send you some comfort for Su Gong. Su Gong was young and failed to give the general kindness, but worked hard for the general to guard, so he sent condolences to his subordinates. Please accept it, I'm good too. ”

"Su Gong? Being a courtier and a gentleman is already grateful to Dade, which can make me feel at ease, but these silver taels are also cumbersome, and the freezing rain is still there, so I will keep it for Su Gong first. "Cai Hengwen is Su Gong, and he knows that this money is hot and he can't refuse. had to leave the silver two in a high-sounding manner.

Cai Heng, like most unambitious courtiers, knew that he wanted to replace him, but he didn't want to risk the reputation of disloyalty and injustice, and he was more worried about the situation after defeat, so he chose to wait and see, and waited for the situation to be clear before voting for the Lord to express his determination and try to be stable.

Su Gong and his ministers worked hard for five days a few days ago, and he has already shown your determination to take power, and he has sent condolences in the past few days, the purpose of which is to let these important ministers who are waiting and see that they can lean towards Su Gong when the situation is delicate, at least not to fall to the end.

Wang Zan finally gave away all the silver taels according to the plan, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he communicated with Cai Heng again, there was a lot less pressure, the speed of speech became faster, and the official tone of the tone became much more casual. This also shortened the distance between Wang Zan and Cai Heng.

The two talked very happily, and Cai Hengzu was actually from Haiqu, and because of this relationship, the two chatted happily until late at night. Suddenly a strong wind blew in an unknown direction outside the window, and Wang Zan got up to say goodbye. Before leaving, Cai Heng whispered: "Please rest assured, Duke Su, Cai Heng is loyal." This silver tael is temporarily stored here, and Su Gong wants to use it at any time."

After hearing this, Wang Zan just bowed and saluted, which was counted as a response.

The two of them came to the door of the study one after the other, the wind was blowing outside, dragging the big tree and letting out a ghost crying wolf howl, Wang Zan subconsciously wrapped his clothes tightly and said:

"It's cold outside the house, and the general doesn't have to send it again."

"Hehe, Mr. Wang, please." Cai Heng insisted on sending it to the gate.

The two came to the gate with pleasantries, and saw that three empty carriages and three horsemen had been waiting here for a long time, and because of their thin clothes, they were hiding under the gatehouse to protect themselves from the cold. Seeing this, Cai Heng said:

"Look, the three of them are neglected, and the housekeeper quickly takes the good wine from the altar and warms the three of them."

Wang Zan couldn't push it off, and when he saw that the three coachmen were pitiful, he had to obey Cai Heng.

The groom didn't dare to drink too much because he had to catch the car, so he drank a little according to his own amount. The body gradually warmed up, and then got into the carriage and waited for Wang Zan.

Wang Zan and Cai Heng said goodbye again before they came to the leading carriage and rode slowly away with the groom.

Cai Heng seemed reluctant to wait until he couldn't see the carriage before turning back to the hospital, and asked the housekeeper: "Do you know the details of Wang Zan?" ”

"The villain doesn't know much about it, and it's also an old acquaintance." The housekeeper returned.

"Then send someone to follow, and then check the details of Wang Zan, and lock the house where the coal frame is placed, and find someone to take care of it, no one can enter that room without my order."

In the middle of the night, three carriages drove slowly on the slippery and slippery street, and the jingling bells on the horses' necks seemed redundant and even disturbing at this time. And not far behind the carriage, the spies sent by the steward of Cai Hengfu followed closely.

Wang Zan had never expected it to go so smoothly, and he was a little excited, and the howling wind made him full of energy, but neither of him nor the other grooms paid attention to the tail behind him.

Cai Heng returned to the study, and the panic in his heart was only revealed, although he showed his loyalty to Su Gong to Wang Zan, and took such care of Wang Zan and the horseman, just to be a Wang Zan.

Although he has no ambition, he would rather live longer, so he will never do it until the situation is clear, and the strength of Duan, judging from the current situation, is definitely beyond the reach of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old Su Gong, so Cai Heng is more inclined to prepare to be loyal to Duan rather than Su Gong.

Later, Cai Heng investigated and found out that Wang Zan had no contact with Duan, he was just a businessman who sold sea salt, and as for how to distribute wealth for Su Gong, although there was no way to find out, there was no need to trace it, so he calmed his panic a little.

Yixue has been back in the flower restaurant for more than a month, and most of them have been playing and singing for Wei Li in this month. Wei Li repeatedly hinted at the need for services that could better address the needs, but Yixue became more reserved. And this reserve not only did not annoy Wei Li, but aroused his possessiveness more and more, so almost every day, he flirted with the snow every day.

Of course, Yixue still constantly praises and praises Wei Li's talent, and she is very measured, and Wang Zan has bought several of Wei Li's subordinates, and she also praises Wei Li at every opportunity, which makes Wei Li more and more inflated.

He was already not very obedient to the end, and he was more and more unwilling to be subordinated to the end under the instigation of his inflated psychology.

Duan learned from the spies that Su Gong sent condolences to some important ministers, but he didn't worry too much, in his opinion, these important ministers have nothing to do with success or failure no matter who they fall to, less than two months away from the sacrifice to the sky, such a short time Su Gong's counterattack is more like a temporary cramming. It's just that he didn't know that Wei Li, that is, the core strength he relied on, was changing at this time.

The deep winter is getting closer and closer, this year's winter is much drier and colder, since the freezing rain, God is stingy to the source of the extreme river and even Dongsheng, no rain comes, God is stingy, the river is frozen and people are also idle and have nothing to do, and the head of Jiuqing, Feng Chang Structure, is very busy, because the sacrifice of a big sacrifice every ten years is getting closer and closer.

Of course, the heavenly court where the god clan is located
