Chapter 44: Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge
Cai Bian, the character Yuandu, is the younger brother of Cai Jing's relatives, the two have been at odds with each other for a long time, and they have been slandered by Cai Jing in their lives.
"You! Obsessed, wait for the loss! Cai You saw that he couldn't move Cai Ying, and was ridiculed twice by Cai Ying, so he was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and entered the main courtyard.
Cai Yan stared at the back of him going to the main courtyard, and after a while, he smiled sarcastically and turned around and walked towards his courtyard.
But he said that Cai You was angry with his brother and returned to the main courtyard, but when he saw his father practicing calligraphy in a relaxed manner, he couldn't help but sarcastically say: "The old man is really in a free mood, and he still has time to practice calligraphy!" ”
"How? Didn't you talk to your brother and find Lao Tzu to be angry? Cai Jing didn't raise his eyebrows, the tip of the pen was inked, and he raised the pen again to write.
"Isn't it a good leader from my father?" Cai You said angrily: "You have a political disagreement with your uncle, and that kid is using this to stab me right now, it's really unreasonable!" ”
"He's right." Cai Jing put the pen on the inkstone, looked at the words he wrote seriously, and said: "You and I can't talk about one place, let alone him!" ”
"Father!" Cai You said a little depressedly: "What was the situation at that time, you don't know in your heart, our family is too powerful in the court, and sooner or later it will provoke the taboo of the official family, and my son has to do it as a last resort!" ”
"So, if your brother wants to be in a high position, he will naturally not let you and me come out, isn't it extremely natural? What else do you have to struggle with? Cai Jing turned his back and walked around leisurely to the side to clean his hands.
You don't bother, anyway, it's time to be at such an age!
Cai You said in his heart depressedly, seeing that he couldn't get the result he wanted from his old father, so he changed the topic and said: "Father, you say, Emperor Mingde is really standing in line with His Royal Highness King Yi?" ”
His Royal Highness King Yi, the third son of the official family, Zhao Kai.
"Not necessarily." Cai Jing was angry with his son, but he didn't say a word: "The Mingxing floor is the third highness, but it is actually your brother's." ”
"What!" Cai You exclaimed in surprise: "Is it the silver money that your father gave him?" ”
As he asked, he had actually made a definition in his heart, after all, the land occupied by Mingxing Building alone was worth more than 100,000 taels of silver, not to mention building such a tall building and cleaning up such an exquisite yard.
"I thought about it, but it's a pity that I only recently learned about the relationship between Mingxinglou and your brother." Cai Jing glanced at Cai You: "It's not that you haven't checked, Liu's cousin-in-law went to sea on a private boat, and according to his own family, his net worth is at least a few million taels of silver." ”
"That's not a kiss, how can you give him all the money and let him come here?" Cai You still didn't believe it, after all, the Liu family and the Xu family were still separated by a few relationships: "Besides, if the land of the imperial city is not supported by someone behind it, how can it be possible to take such a large piece at once?" ”
This is still doubting Cai Jing.
"Do you know that Xu Taoniang recently shot a pair of screens that are feet high?" Cai Jing stretched out a hand and shook it: "This number." ”
"Ten thousand taels? That's not expensive, and a pair of flower screens in my son's house is only 10,000 taels. Cai You said disapprerovingly.
"One hundred thousand taels, Lord Tong got it." Cai Jing glanced at his son: "You are just too high-profile, that's why you will be targeted." ”
"It's not the same if I'm high-profile or not, your good son, you don't remember my grudge!" Cai You said: "It's not that I didn't care about their mother and son back then, but now when they see me, they say ten sentences, and eight sentences are even stabbed and pulled." ”
"That's what you deserve, you are in the old mansion, let your own brother die and not save him, he doesn't hate you?" Cai Jing educated again: "According to me, you are just too shallow-eyed, how much money can you ask for a doctor for them at that time?" But you can just let it go and let the Xu family take advantage of this! ”
"I thought my father was ......," Cai You wanted to explain unconvinced.
was stopped by Cai Jing: "Needless to say, the past!" What the Zhu family said, you tell me again. ”
When Cai You heard this, he immediately stopped being aggrieved, and he hurriedly took out the seal letter in his hand: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely dissatisfied with the emperor's involvement in the government, especially Qin Xiang, who Emperor Mingde took away from the prison of Dali Temple yesterday. ”
"Huh? What did this Qin Xiang do? Cai Jing pointed his hand at Qin Xiang's name: "But Qin Shilang's youngest son, the grandson of Bai Youxiang?" ”
"Exactly, Daddy's memory is really good!" Cai You had a smile on his face: "If you don't say it, this woman's family is unreliable, it is said that she received 500,000 taels of silver from Old Madam Bai and promised to fish people out and replace them with death row prisoners." ”
"It's really bold, when your father and I were in office, I still need to cover up if I want to do something, she is so blatant!" Cai Jing nodded with his hand, and sighed in his mouth: "People are crazy and have heavenly harvests, the ancients honestly did not deceive me!" ”
"It's not that she doesn't hide it, but among the servants waiting next to Old Man Bai, one of them is related to the bitter lord by marriage, and it was she who poked the matter in front of the bitter master's old father, so she sent someone to take Qin Xiang away, and before she went out on the street, she was stopped by the bitter master's father, and the matter came out."
……
"You mean, the people waiting next to Old Madam Bai are related to the Fang family by marriage?" Zhao Fujin looked at the servant woman kneeling behind Xu Ruanniang, and had a headache: "Such a big thing, Old Madam Bai didn't hide it?" ”
"There are too many people waiting around the old lady, and Mama Ning's aunt is an old lady of the Fang family who has passed away, and this relationship is also separated by a layer, who would have thought that ......" The servant woman lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "The old lady means that the matter has come to this point, and I ask the emperor to come forward and show a good example, otherwise Qin Langjun will ......"
"Your Bai family is not cautious in doing things yourself, and it has already affected the emperor now! How can there be a face to come to the door to beg for someone! Xu Ruanniang glared at the woman beside her and scolded angrily: "I want to ask, do you mean to frame the emperor?" Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, the person on my side just went to pick up someone, and the old man just arrived, which is too coincidental! ”
"Our old lady doesn't want to......" the old woman whispered, "This matter has come out, and the old lady of my family has even written a letter of resignation to the old lady." ”
"I really should write a letter of resignation." Zhao Fujin had a little smile on his face: "Your old lady is so self-sacrificing and ignoring the family, if she doesn't take a break in time, she will definitely cause a catastrophe to the clan in the future!" ”
Hoarse?
The old woman is stupid, how is this different from the old lady's reaction?
She was stunned for a moment, and forced herself to explain to Old Madam Bai: "The old lady handles things very well on weekdays, and she has never been on a business trip, but this time she is too anxious about the Qin family's brother, so it will be like this." ”
"Are you in a hurry to kill him?" Zhao Fujin smiled coldly: "Your old lady probably only knows that I collect money, and I don't know that I did an investigation before collecting money, right?"
Otherwise, I wouldn't have come up with such a lame trick to lead me into submission! ”
What does that mean?
The old woman's heart suddenly sudden, and she said with a bit of luck: "My old lady has always respected the emperor, and she has absolutely no intention of harming the emperor. ”
"Fang Linsheng's wife and daughter, your old lady shouldn't have inquired about where she is now, right?"
Xu Ruanniang said sarcastically: "Your old lady wants to cooperate with others to pull our emperor off the horse, and it is time to place people properly?" The matter of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is absolutely impossible! ”
