Chapter 209: Marksman
The night in Cai's mansion was vast, and the lantern at the door was blown and shaken, and the family couldn't help but look up, full of worry, not worried about the lantern, but their own master.
They are in charge of the Cai family, although the old man is big, he does not have much power, he is an idle official, but even so, it is not an ordinary landlord and businessman can be compared, and now the old man has an accident...... In the inner courtyard, the light in the big house was very dim, only a few candles were lit, and Mrs. Cai sat on the main seat, with a calm face and a silent voice.
Several servants in the mansion stood with their hands down, and Li Kang, who was valued by Cai Pingdu, caressed his head and did not speak.
This afternoon, there was an accident in prison, and the news came that my lord had been arrested, which was a heavy blow to the house.
"Tell them not to cry, and the maid will take them down first. Mrs. Cai listened to several women crying, and her heart suddenly became annoyed, and she said commandingly.
The concubines of these husbands will only cause trouble.
"Madame, you have to save your master!" said an aunt as she was taken down by the maid.
Mrs. Cai's eyes were even more disgusted when she heard this: "The whole of my house will come up with advice, and I ask you to go back and rest, don't make trouble here!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
Several concubines were taken down, and the hall was suddenly clean, but everyone's sad faces remained unchanged.
"Hey...... Mr. Li, what do you say about this?" Mrs. Cai frowned and thought, and couldn't help sighing, looking at her own guests.
Li Kang's expression remained calm, but he sighed in his heart and said: "This kind of thing, if you don't die, you have to shed your skin, now it depends on how the government responds." ”
Madame's eyes lit up and she said, "Can the government save it?"
"It's difficult, I've heard of this Xiao Sha, he is a hero in the martial arts, he was calculated by the nobles and the government, and he was going to ask for a beheading after the autumn, but at this time, he captured the master, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rescue. ”
Seeing that his wife's face was gloomy, he said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is the government's reaction, there has never been a relaxation on the thieves, if something really happens, I'm afraid I'd rather kill it than let it out!"
When Li Kang said this, his face was also gloomy, and he said, "It's up to you now." ”
In the unbearable silence, Miss Cai Xin touched the jade box under her neck, gritted her teeth and did not speak.
At this moment, a small servant ran towards the side and shouted: "The inspection of this county, Lord Shi is here!"
"It turned out to be Lord Shi, please!" Mrs. Cai suddenly said when she heard this.
Originally, the inspection was only a positive nine products, commanding a certain number of tolerances and archers, responsible for inspecting pedestrians, cracking down on smuggling, and arresting thieves, but at this time he could not be lazy.
While speaking, a middle-aged man, dressed in a light red official robe, strode in and bowed his hand to Mrs. Cai: "I've seen Mrs. Cai!"
"Lord Shi is here at this time, presumably there is news?" said Mrs. Cai.
"Lord Cai's matter, we are also dealing with it, now that all the prisoners have rebelled, we want to let them out, and then we will let Master Cai go!" At this point, he paused slightly, and looked up at Mrs. Cai's expression: "But it is impossible to release them all, and the court law cannot be abolished!"
Mrs. Cai immediately understood, and gave a few orders, and in a moment, a maid came out, revealing a silver plate, which contained fine soft silver ingots, but it was five, which was fifty taels, and she said: "Lord Shi, this is just a deposit, as long as you can successfully rescue my master, you will give six times." ”
Shi Xunjian's eyelids jumped, this is a generous gift, and he sighed at the moment: "Mrs. Cai, Xiaguan has leaked a message to you here, if it is not resolved before dawn tomorrow, Lord Taishou may be about to attack." ”
After saying this, Mrs. Cai, Cai Xin, and the people in the hall all changed color, and everyone knew the meaning and result of the attack.
Mrs. Cai's face was gloomy, and she reluctantly asked, "Is there no way?"
Inspector Shi sighed: "I have already sent someone to sneak in, Lord Cai Ji has his own natural appearance, maybe he can be safe." ”
As he spoke, he pushed the silver plate, only took an ingot, and said: "No merit is not lost, the lower officials come here to leak the news, and it is only worth this price, if the adults can return safely, they will not give up at that time." ”
Saying that, he took this ingots into his arms, arched his hand, said not to send it, turned around and left to see the stone inspection and leave, the silence in the hall was indescribable, very depressing, to say that in fact, if Cai Pingdu had been an official here for a few years, it would not be like this, but at the beginning of getting off the car, it would be good to have someone to ventilate the news.
At this moment, a maid ran up to her and said a few words to Cai Xin.
"What?!, he wants to see me?" Listening to the maid's words, Miss Cai couldn't help but be surprised, what did he mean by coming at this time? In her mind, Wang Cunye's handsome figure appeared, and he was out of the dust.
Wang Cunye has come over a few times, and she is somewhat familiar, and she has a deep impression of such a person.
"Mother, I'll go out for a while. Cai Xin stood up.
"Go!" Mrs. Cai waved her hand tiredly, Xin'er has always been delicate, she doesn't need to worry, and now she can't help.
Only at this time did the lady deeply understand how good it would be if she was a son, and her fifteen or sixteen-year-old son could already come forward to take charge of the house.
Out of the hall, Cai Xin immediately asked, "You said that Wang Cunye wants to see me?"
After asking this, the maid was stunned, and couldn't help but say aggrievedly: "I don't know if it's a little one." ”
Cai Xin hesitated, she wanted to refuse, but for some reason she changed her words: "Let him come in, I'll see what's going on!"
But in a moment, the maid came in with Wang Cunye!
Seeing Wang Cunye, Cai Xin just said: "The son came late at night, but what is the matter, if there is something, please come to the hall tomorrow to speak." ”
The defense of men and women in this world is not very serious, but meeting late at night also exceeds etiquette.
"I'm afraid it's too late to say it!" Wang Cunye seemed to be smiling, and his words suddenly made Cai Xin's heart palpitate, and she broke out in a cold sweat, and said in a panic: "What is the son saying?"
After a pause, seeing that Wang Cunye's face was calm, but he smiled slightly, Cai Xin gritted her teeth and asked again: "You came to look for me, but what happened?"
Seeing Cai Xin asking, Wang Cunye changed his appearance and said solemnly: "I have a way to save your father." ”
"What?" Cai Xin's whole body was shocked when she heard this, her teeth were clenched, her face was so pale that there was no blood, and her long eyelashes drooped.
My father's accident, in fact, the government is blocking the news, how does this person know?
After a while, she calmed down and stared at Wang Cunye: "What can you help? As long as you can save my father, you can give as much money as you want." ”
She was so decisive, Wang Cunye was stunned, then smiled and said, "I don't want your silver......"
Seeing her change color, I knew that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "Don't look like this, I don't want you to repay me, and I don't want your family's money, I saved your biological father, but I want your bronze seal to exchange." ”
When Wang Cunye said this, he pointed to the bronze seal under Cai Xin's neck and spoke.
Cai Xin heard the words and saw that this bronze seal was hanging on her neck, flesh and blood were connected, and when she was asked for something at this moment, her heart hurt, but she wanted to cut off a part of her life.
The blood on Cai Xin's face faded, her heart sank, and she gritted her teeth: "Prince Wang, don't you think this is taking advantage of people's danger, I thought you were ......"
At this point, I can't say it again.
Wang Cunye just smiled when he heard this: "This crisis is your father's fateful catastrophe, and the top ten can't break through, of course you can get through, naturally you are safe and rich, maybe you can be the last Taishou!"
"This is a major event related to the life of the surname, and the peace of your father in exchange for a bronze seal has been created, and many people can't ask for it!"
Cai Xin's heart was gloomy when she heard this, knowing that what this person said was reasonable, but there were bursts of blood in her heart, not only a reluctance to the bronze seal, but also a kind of brokenness in her heart.
"Can you change to other conditions?" Cai Xin muttered.
"Can't!"
As soon as these words came out, Cai Xin was immediately knocked out of a trance.
"Okay, you can get my father out, what's the harm to you?" said this, and her body shuddered for a while.
"A word is a certainty!" Seeing Cai Xin say this, Wang Cunye smiled, knowing that this cause and effect had become a result, as for the younger daughter's mentality, in fact, he was slightly aware of it, but he really didn't have this thought, after saying this, he bowed and turned to leave.
Seeing this person go away, Cai Xin held on to the pillar and burst into tears.
The night was dark, and when he got out of Cai's house, Wang Cunye took out a jade plate and watched it carefully, which was the imperial court token given by Qingyunguan, which was located in the seventh grade.
At this time, the sound of beating was heard from afar, and Wang Cunye arrived in front of the Taishou Mansion in a few steps, and the lights in the house were transparent at this time, but the Taishou must have been troubled and thinking about it.
"Who is it?" asked when he arrived at the front of the house, with a knife in his hand.
"Give this token to your family Taishou, and say that I have something to meet. Wang Cunye said.
Seeing Wang Cunye's magnificence, he continued, saying, "Wait a minute!"
I went in, and after a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and I came back and said, "My lord ordered you to go in!"
followed in at the moment, but saw someone frowning and drinking tea in a side hall, and when he saw the person, he was silent for a while, looking at Wang Cunye silently.
Wang Cunye also looked over, and saw that this official was about forty, medium height, rectangular face, wearing a five-grade official uniform, this official waved his hand and said, "Sit, I heard that you want to see me, I don't know what's the matter?"
The token is a seven-grade certificate, but this Taishou is an errand for Yanjing.
"Lord Xie!" Wang Cunye was steady, sat down in the guest seat, took the tea that was brought up, and put it on the table: "I am from Yanjing, and I heard that the Lord was in some trouble, so I came over." ”
"The Cai family has a relationship with me, so I want to do something, not only to save the trouble of adults, but also to repay the affection!" said, and waved his hand: "I can't interfere in local government affairs, and I don't take responsibility, you don't have to check my identity carefully, do you have a strong bow here?"
The muscles on his cheeks trembled, and he leaned out and said, "Yes!"
Seeing this, Wang Cunye smiled indifferently and said, "But with this bow, you can do a lot of things." ”
At this time, the bow and arrow were taken, and a few more people were holding the knife and watching nervously, Wang Cunye took the bow and pulled the bow against the lamp under the eaves in the distance, only to hear the three arrows of "poof, puff, puff", and the bright lamp went out in response.
"Marksman, is it someone from the Tianji Battalion?" Taishou couldn't help but get excited, and his heart suddenly felt at ease, only they really knew the horror of a sharpshooter who could shoot out a hundred steps of light at will: "With adults here, this matter can be assured!"
