Cai Jiu, known as Cai Dezhang, was the ninth son of Cai Jing, the prime minister of the dynasty, and became the prefect of Jiangzhou by relying on Cai Jing's power.

Judging from the original text of the Water Margin, he belongs to the typical characters of the powerful children of the Great Song Dynasty, who are arrogant and lascivious.

At this time, Huang Wenbing listened to Cai Jiu's rather insulting words, but he was not ashamed at all, and while carrying the wine jug and bowing down to pour wine for Cai Jiu, he licked his face and said: "Lord Xianggong said that it is good, and Xiaosheng will be entrusted to the door for life, and he will be the reward of the saddle of the ring." ”

Cai Jiu heard Huang Wenbing's shameless words, glanced at him with a smile, stood up, patted Huang Wenbing on the shoulder, and slapped him so much that he almost couldn't hold the wine jug.

That Huang Wenbing didn't know what Cai Jiu meant, so he just lowered his head and didn't speak, and when he raised his head again, he saw that Cai Jiu had already dressed up under the service of the maid and walked out of the cabin.

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes.

Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze.

A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”

Cai Jiu was dressed in a purple robe, with a fox fur on his shoulders, and a virtuous crown on his head, his expression was restrained, but he had the style of a great official from the third grade, at this time, he heard the sound of poetry chanting from the boat swimming on the opposite side, and a vague smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he said to the helmsman on the side: "Bump into it!" ”

The helmsman heard Cai Jiu's words, was stunned for a moment, looked at the prefect in front of him with a puzzled expression, and then heard his deep voice and shouted, "Bump into it."

Knowing that the prefect acted without taboos and moody, the helmsman did not dare to speak out, but sighed in his heart, not knowing that the prefect was going to play a new trick, and secretly prayed for the people on the opposite boat, so he adjusted the direction of the boat's behavior, and hit it straight towards the ship that was getting closer and closer.

The Tong brothers looked at the building boat that rushed straight towards their boat, frowning, they had been fighting on the Xunyang River for many years, Tong Wei and Tong Meng knew whose home this luxurious building boat was, and they didn't want to get into trouble, and they were about to turn the rudder, but they heard Zhu Biao's voice in their ears, "Go up."

Although they didn't understand what their son meant, the Tong brothers didn't adjust their direction again, and in a moment, the two boats collided, making a dull sound, splashing out of the sky with sawdust, and shaking violently.

After the hull of the boat was stable again, Zhu Biao arched his hand from the purple-clothed man standing on the boat opposite, and said lightly, "Ninth Prince, can you have fun?" ”

"Not bad, but as the second uncle said, you are really a wonderful person." Cai Jiu held on to the side of the boat, stood on the bow of the boat, heard Zhu Biao's words, and laughed.

Second uncle?

When Zhu Biao heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, this Cai Jiu is Cai Jing's son, and his second uncle is naturally the deceased Cai Bian, only among Cai Jing's sons, he can put the title "second uncle" on his lips, but Zhu Biao has heard of it for the first time.

In the original text of the Water Margin, there is not much ink on Cai Jiu and his person, only mentioning that he is the power of Cai Jing and got the position of the prefect of Jiangzhou.

originally thought that this Cai Jiu was a marionette who could be manipulated even by Huang Wenbing, and a straw bag prefect with no ink on his chest, but now it seems that this person is far from being as simple as it seems.

Since the ninth prince knows Zhu Biao, he must have made a special trip to wait on this river. Zhu Biao said to Cai Jiu.

When Cai Jiu heard this, he smiled slightly, and said to Zhu Biao: "Yes, I have a boat full of beauties, can I wish the third prince to enjoy his face and cross the boat?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Biao smiled and arched his hand: "The ninth prince is gracious, Zhu Biao doesn't dare to shirk it, so come over." ”

After saying that, he jumped over the boat with his feet a little, Wu Song behind him looked nervous, and was about to follow, when he heard Cai Jiu on the other side say: "This good man is not panicking, Cai Jiu only asks the third prince to speak, and there is no intention of harming him, so please wait for a while." ”

When Wu Song heard this, he was about to have a seizure, but Xiao Jiasui grabbed his arm, shook his head at him, and whispered a few words in his ear, and saw that Wu Song's expression was slightly softened, and he only stepped forward to stand at the front of the bow, tensed his nerves, and was always on guard.

Cai Jiu didn't care when he saw this, he just turned around and led Zhu Biao to the cabin, watching Cai Jiu and Zhu Biao disappear into their careers, Xiao Jiasui said to Zhu Wu on the side: "This Cai Jiu is not as rumored to be, it's not simple." ”

When Zhu Wu heard this, he also nodded, turned around and whispered a few words to the Tong brothers, and then saw Tong Wei and Tong Meng with straight expressions, walked to the blind spot of the stern, took off his coat, rowed into the water along the side of the boat, and when he dived to the depths, he swam towards the riverbank.

Zhu Biao followed Cai Jiu into the cabin, and saw the extremely extravagant decoration and the warbler Yanyan who was scratching his head all over the boat, Cai Jiu asked Zhu Biao to take a seat, and waved his hand to let the people in the cabin retreat.

Looking at the middle-aged man who exited the cabin behind a group of warblers and Yanyan, Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows slightly, and a person flashed in his heart, and Cai Jiu, who was sitting on the opposite side, saw Zhu Biao's expression in his eyes and said with a smile: "What? I wish the third prince doesn't like this person. ”

"I don't know each other, but I don't like it very much." Zhu Biao smiled and responded.

Cai Jiu laughed and said: "This person's name is Huang Wenbing, he is a judge in the Wuwei military city on the other side of the river, he has no ability but is dedicated to being an official, and he wagged his tail at a certain person who changed his method on weekdays, and wanted to find a good place for my Cai family, but he didn't demolish him, he only came to play for fun in his spare time." ”

Hearing Cai Jiu's words, Zhu Biao remembered a joint in the original text of the Water Margin, Liangshan and his gang made trouble in Jiangzhou, and after rescuing Song Jiang, Song Jiang and his gang poured their revenge anger on Huang Wenbing, but felt that "the murder is not Cai Jiu's prefect's business, it is Huang Wenbing's three times and five times to call the prefect to teach the harm"; In addition to Song Jiang and others taking into account Cai Jiu's identity, there is no other reason.

That Huang Wenbing only felt that he kept Cai Jiu in the dark, but he didn't know that Cai Jiu was only pretending to be confused and playing with him, and in the end, it was Cai Jiu's credit, and Huang Wenbing swallowed Huang Lian by himself.

In the past, when he was outside Bianliang City, Wen Huanzhang once said to Zhu Biao, "Don't look at the children of the powerful in Bianliang City who are idle all day long, and have a lustful voice, if you really talk about it, few are simple", but at this time Zhu Biao has seen it.

Zhu Biao smiled slightly, picked up the fragrant tea in front of him, took a sip, and said to Cai Jiu: "I don't know if the ninth prince stopped Zhu today, what advice do you have?" ”

When Cai Jiu heard this, he raised his head to meet Zhu Biao's gaze, and said faintly: "Zhu Sangongzi, do you know that someone saved your life?" ”
