Zhao Yi was slightly stunned after listening to Ma Liang's description, according to the information he had learned from the film and television dramas before, it was really rare, he only knew that Cai Mao was used by Zhou Yu in the Battle of Chibi and made Cao Cao cut off his head, but he didn't know that the guy's family power was actually so big?

"Why did Hongfei ask about the Cai family?"

Zhao Yi stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, squinted his eyes and said, "Ji Chang, Cai Mao is dead, so who is in charge of the Cai family now?" Is their lair still in Xiangyang? ”

Ma Liang frowned and shook his head lightly and said: "I don't know who is in charge of the Cai family now, but they seem to still live in Xiangyang, which is under Cao Cao's jurisdiction after all, and the Cai family has returned to Cao Cao, even if Cai Mao is dead, he should be sheltered." ”

"The head of the Cai family is unknown? But there has always been a secret funding for the killing house, it seems that in addition to Cai Mao, the Cai family also has a secret master, that ...... Ji Chang, how much do you know about the Kuai family? ”

"The Kuai family is also a wealthy family in Jingzhou, and during the Liu Biao period, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang gave advice to them and made many military exploits, but after that, the Kuai family and the Cai family all submitted to Cao Cao, and Kuai Yue was also quite valued by Cao Cao, and it was even rumored that he said, 'I am not happy because I got Jingzhou, but I am happy because I got the Kuai Xterodu', and it seems that he was sealed Hou a while ago, and he is in the limelight."

Zhao Yi narrowed his eyes and pondered in his heart: Return to Cao, return to Cao again, first the Cai family, and then the Kuai family, one provides funds, and the other provides food and weapons, if you want to say that these two families did not serve in the killing courtyard and killed, I don't believe it! No wonder, no wonder the Killing Courtyard will suddenly cooperate with the World Association to besiege and kill a little person who has no name, it seems that there should be the shadow of Prime Minister Cao Cheng behind this Killing Courtyard, so now there is only the peripheral liaison named Kong Shang left.

"Ji Chang, have you heard of Kong Shangqi?"

This time, Ma Liang shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it, what does this person do?" ”

Zhao Yi said with a smile: "The one who buys and sells people's lives, I don't know where he comes from, for the time being, this person is to be determined, since the Cai family and the Kuai family are determined to follow Cao Cao, then they are our enemies, and now I need to find the remaining forces and businesses of these two families in the four counties of Jingnan, and it is time to clean it up." ”

Because Zhao Yi was newly married when Liu Bei went to Jiangdong to marry, he didn't take him with him, and he, Liu Bei's bodyguard captain, became a free man when he was not with the lord, which means that no one in Wuling City can control him now, but he can still mobilize a small part of the army.

In the next period of time, Zhao Yi led people to go crazy looking for Cai's and Kuai's industries everywhere in the four counties of Jingnan, and the main thing was to sweep away the leaves in an autumn wind, and there was not even a slag left.

His move not only caused the Kuai clan and the Cai clan to suffer a lot of losses, but also raised some military funds for Liu Beijun in disguise, and cleared some possible contact points of the other party, which can be said to be a few in one fell swoop.

Finally, Zhao Yi's crazy actions attracted the attention of the two families, and in his subsequent clean-up operation, the Cai family and the Kuai family actually cleaned up some industries in advance, leaving him only an empty shell, which made Zhao Yi very unhappy, but he was also sure that his actions did make the two families feel pain.

In Xiangyang, a mansion in a high-gate compound, three men sit around a table with a candle lit in the middle.

The light of the candle flickered, illuminating only the center of the round table, but not the faces of the three men.

"Our property in the four counties of Jingnan has almost been uprooted, and that guy seems to have found out about us, what should we do next?"

A hoarse, visibly aged man was the first to speak.

"What to do? What are you afraid of him for? After Liu Bei occupied the four counties of Jingnan, this result would happen sooner or later. ”

The voice of the person who answered the call was low, and he seemed to be a middle-aged man, and he had practiced martial arts all year round, and he seemed to be full of neutrality.

"Humph! You are running fast, the least loss in our three families, standing and talking without backache, we can't do it, there are not so many sisters to marry outside, this time the loss of the Heng family is the greatest. ”

The last person who spoke had a shrill voice, yin and yang, obviously expressing dissatisfaction with the words of the previous middle-aged man.

"Hmph~ What do you have to be dissatisfied with? Don't forget, this matter is that our two families have always been in front, and your Heng family is timid and afraid, and now this result is all caused by yourself. ”

The middle-aged man did not save face at all for the person with a sharp voice, and the latter said in a sharp voice: "What did you say? Don't forget, this matter was what your Cai family wanted to do at the beginning, but now it is pulling our two families to suffer an unjustified disaster! There are hundreds of people in our house, and when they open their eyes every day, just the amount of food and clothing is not a small amount, and now the business of the four counties of Jingnan has all been affected, so what can I use to fill this hole? ”

"Filling holes? Don't pretend to be poor in front of me, don't think I don't know, since we belonged to Cao Gong, you secretly transferred your business to Xuchang, and also befriended a few big officials, and sent those singers you raised to each other, so as to seek more markets, the four counties of Jingnan are like chicken ribs to you, but now you want to take the opportunity to knock me out? ”

"What do you say? The surname is Cai, are you looking for someone to check me?! ”

"Each other, you also put eyeliner around me."

The shrill man and the middle-aged man suddenly slapped the table, and they were about to start an infighting.

At this time, the old man with a hoarse voice came forward to mediate: "Okay, okay, the three of us are grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous, one is lost, we all have a share in this matter, no one can hide, can't escape, and now we haven't found ourselves to fight, what kind of system?" I'm here tonight to discuss how to deal with this matter, not to let you fight in the nest. ”

The middle-aged man and the person with a thin voice didn't really want to make a fuss, but after being comforted by the old man's words, both of them snorted coldly and sat down again.

The hoarse old man sighed, and said slowly: "Now it's not about who loses more and who loses less, but to be careful not to be found out by that person to our core business, just like the head of the Heng family just said, the world only says that our three families have a big business and strong financial resources, but most of the big business is maintained by connections, and the maintenance of connections is also supported by money. Cao Pingping decided that no one in the north could stop him, wasn't it because of the problem of military funds that he set up General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Mojin, and dug up other people's ancestral graves everywhere? In this troubled era, as long as you have money, even if the emperor comes, you have to give you three points. ”

"Hiss......"

As soon as the old man's words came out, the other two looked at him with some vigilance, and the shrill voice said, "Kuai Gong, what you said is somewhat rebellious." ”

The old man smiled and said: "This word can enter the ears of the two of you, once there is any rumor to spread, it can only be the two of you, the old man is not worried, and when there are capable people living in it today, there are many warlords, each occupying the mountain as the king, even if Cao Gong is playing with the means of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, if you want me to say, the Han royal family has existed in name only, and it is a matter of time before it is replaced by Cao Gong." ”
