Chapter 30: The Fatal Blow
Escorting Xie Fanfan back, Cai You's carriage stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He lifted the moire plain coat, straightened the cuffs, and was about to enter the house, but was stopped by the doorman.
"Presumptuous, dare to be rude to the eldest prince?" Cai You glanced at it indifferently, and then turned his head to see Ji Qun's sword dangling in front of the guy's neck, and the doorman was so frightened that he took two steps back.
"What's so angry" Yo! It turned out to be the eldest brother" The young man bowed slightly, bowed his hand, and although he was smiling, he always felt that there was a hidden evil intention.
This idle, cynical prodigal looks like a prodigal, but he is the most scheming.
"I've been seeing you lately, where's the old man?"
"At the Meeting"
Cai You sneered and walked directly to the main hall of the front hall.
He saw Cai Jing from a distance and saluted respectfully, and without saying much, he stepped forward and put his hand on Cai Jing's vein. "I heard that my father is sick, but now he is still unwell?"
"Don't worry, it's not time yet" Cai Jing couldn't help it. When he left, the guests wondered, "Why did Childe leave in a hurry?" ”
"Humph! Do you think he really came to visit me? It's not that I'm looking forward to returning to the West as soon as possible to sit in the position of the sect master of the Cai family."
Out of the hall, Cai Ying followed, "Why don't you stay a little longer when my brother comes back?" Cai You looked at him when he heard the voice and said:
"Don't think I don't know your indiscriminate skills, silver needles piercing bones, Quanshan ambush, you really wasted a lot of thoughts, so desperate to put me to death. The muscles on Cai's face trembled unnaturally.
He straightened up and sighed, "It's a pity, the old man is stupid, I think you can get back a game if you check and balance me" He took a few steps closer and whispered in his ear, "Soon, there will be a good show"
After Cai You finished speaking, he laughed fiercely and passed by proudly.
Soon the main hall shouted and panicked, "Oh no, the old man vomited blood and fainted"
Cai Yi was shocked, and his intuition told him that trouble was coming.
He had always known that his cousin was ruthless, but he didn't expect him to start so quickly and so blatantly.
He rushed with the crowd, Cai Jing didn't have an accident at this time, in case he fell, not to mention that his position as the son of the world was gone, then what he did before would never let him go easily according to Cai You's temperament.
"What's the matter, why did my father suddenly become like this" looked at the person in front of him with a dark face and convulsions, obviously poisoned.
There were guests present, several colleagues whispered and whispered, Cai Jing's poison originated from Cai Jing's special person to be responsible for Cai Jing's diet in the green onion soaked in lead and mercury, long-term use caused, Cai Yi felt the blood in the body inch by inch cold, everyone knew that in order to make Cai Jing happy, he was eyeing the position of the prince, so he invited the first chef of Bianliang, who was responsible for the production of shredded green onions in Cai Jing's diet, and even the emperor felt extravagant.
Now because of this, Cai Jingyi is ill, and it is even more suspicious that Cai Yi has bad intentions, but the person who poisoned him has committed suicide in fear of crime, and he can't find out the reason.
He couldn't argue, but Cai Jing happened to be speechless at the moment, tearing the futon like crazy, his neck was red and purple, and he was snorting like a cow.
There was a lot of discussion around, all of which were unfavorable to him, especially the host and guest who was sitting in front of Cai You's vein, I am afraid that he had already arranged to fan the flames here.
"Everyone, please listen to me, my brother came back and this kind of thing happened, it is really unbelievable, I hope you don't speculate, wait for the water to fall from the people who will clear themselves"
"Hmph, Master Cai was worried about Xiangye's health, and he went back to visit him, and before he found out the truth, he was anxious to see his brother splashing dirty water, which was really disgusting, and he was a minister in vain" Those masters spoke righteously, accusing Cai Jing's descendants of being unscrupulous, and such ugly things happened.
One spread ten, ten spread a hundred boiling, and soon reached the ears of the officials.
", the prey into the urn, it can be regarded as living up to my expectations" Zhao Jilong Yan Dayue, he was also shocked when he heard the news, Cai You, this kid will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, he has indeed not looked away for so many years, he has been dormant for decades, and it is a fatal blow when he makes a move.
"What does Your Majesty mean?"
"Cai Yi is not a good son, he should be beheaded according to the law, and his father has contributed to the society, and he is specially degraded to a lowly status"
"But the matter hasn't been clarified yet, this-"
"What about finding out?" Zhao Ji's eyes are deep and very determined.
"The little one understands, so let's do it"
Soon after, the news that Cai Jing was ordered to be a scholar was known to both the government and the public, and his son Cai Cheng was exploited for official status, and Cai You cleared all obstacles and was promoted from a scholar of Longtuge University to an envoy of the Xuanhe Palace, and became the sect master of the Cai family.
"Congratulations to the son" Ji Qun smiled, "How did the head of the family know that the poisoning of Xiangye would inevitably be counted on Cai Chen's head?" Just relying on the accusations of a few people, you must not be guilty, and if you are bitten back, wouldn't it hurt yourself? ”
"The three of them become tigers, not to mention that the human and material evidence is complete, the most important thing is actually the official family, what does it matter if it is true or not, as long as the official family wants to believe it, it is enough"
"Cai Chong has been fighting with Gongzi for many years, and clinging to Cai Jing is nothing more than wanting to replace him, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that it will not be suspicious if he says it this time."
"What's more, Your Majesty is already gambling, betting on when I will make a move, which will naturally add fuel to the fire"
"Childe's good means"
He started planning ten years ago, and at first there was still a trace of mercy, and he was unwilling to kill them all, but now that he was assassinating again and again, he had to cut through the mess quickly, so as to prevent these clowns from being unfavorable to Xie Fanfan.
Cai You paced to the outside of Xie Fanfan's house, and wanted to knock on the door, but his hand was stretched out but he pounced, and the door was pushed open from the inside, looking at each other. There was a smile on his lips, hiding a deep sense of guilt. Zhiwu finally spit out a sentence for a long time, "The wound still hurts badly?" ”
Xie Fanfan saw that his eyes were dodging, his voice was blurred, and he remembered that he was like this when he was fished out of the lake when he was a child, and he smiled dumbly.
"What's wrong? What are you laughing at" He thought he was doing something wrong, and looked left and right for himself. Xie Fanfan took his hand and stared at him deeply.
"Laughing for so many years, it's like yesterday, thinking of that shy and arrogant teenager" Xie Fanfan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Don't stand stupidly, come in and sit" she took his hand and made him a cup of tea.
"You're not okay, how can you move" He reached out and grabbed the teacup, and directly hugged the person in his arms and put it lightly on the bed. His eyes were full of love and pity, "Niannian, it's me who is not good, I have made you suffer so much" He touched her head, rolled up his sleeves, and looked sad when he saw the hideous scar on her arm.
"Don't worry, aren't I in front of you now?"
"Promise me, you won't do such stupid things in the future, I'd rather die myself than you" He was slightly angry.
Xie Fanfan saw that he was serious and had no jokes, so he didn't dare to refute and hummed obediently.
"Ju'an, in fact, I've always had a lot of doubts?" She stared at him in confusion.
"You say?"
"Why did my mother and I come here, where is my mother, and is she still in the house? If I am the daughter of General Yu as my brother said before, wouldn't I be a criminal minister, will it affect you?"
She grabbed Cai You's sleeve, her expression was anxious, her voice was getting lower and lower, and she was becoming less and less confident.
Her sensible appearance is particularly distressing, if she knew that everything back then was because of herself, would she still treat him as before?
Thinking of this, Cai You's heart sank, like a hundred zhang cliff falling into the abyss in an instant, he must not let such a thing happen, never.
