At the same time, in Bianliang Cai Taishi's Mansion, Cai Jing is also talking secretly with his few remaining subordinates, and the third son Cai Qian is with him, since Cai You and Cai Jing officially turned against each other, Cai Jing's remnants of power quickly collapsed, and Cai Jing is not willing to expose his strength, and now there are only seven people who still enter and leave Cai Mansion as in the past, these people are Cai Jing's henchmen, who have helped Cai Jing do countless things, they are all people with Cai family labels, and their loyalty to Cai Jing is much higher than that of others.

At this moment, eight people were surrounding Cai Jing, listening to Cai Jing's instructions.

"Third child, that Yang Zhi, how is the investigation?" Cai Jing looked at the scene in front of him, his vision was already a little blurred, but his thinking was still clear.

"It's not easy to check, now I can only say that Yang Zhi has returned to Bianliang, and no one has found their eyebrows. Cai Qian replied.

"Tell me about it. Cai Jing pursed his lips, his face did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, he also knew that Yang Zhi did not throw himself into the net when he returned to Bianliang, but Yang Zhi had the identity of a dragon, and he must have come to find him, because in the court, the only person who can prove Yang Zhi is himself, and Happy Liu is just a long-term follower of Caifu, even if he says it, he needs to prove it himself. Cai Qian gave a detailed introduction to the investigation in the recent period, and Cai Jing interrupted: "Don't bother, send a letter to the Daimyo's Mansion and tell Liang Xun that I want to follow the sky, let Suitian come back, and come back quickly for eight hundred miles." ”

Cai Qian and the others were not stupid, they immediately guessed that Cai Jing had an arrangement, and it was a strange thing for Cai Suitian to go to the Daimyo Mansion to open a hotel in itself, and the descendants of Cai Mansion should not be transferred to that share no matter how low the price is. Cai Qian nodded and said, "Yes, I'll arrange it right away, just over there?"

"Cai You?" Cai Jing laughed, seeing that Cai Qian and the others were embarrassed, Cai Jing said disapprerovingly: "Suitian can't even compare to a house slave in his eyes, it's okay." ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Happy Liu walked in and whispered a few words in Cai Jing's ear; Cai Jing's smiling expression suddenly became a little strange, and he waved his hand and said, "Third child, you take a few adults to the study to rest for a while, everyone else goes down, Ye Mengyou has to stay with me." ”

Cai Qian nodded and walked out, the servants of Cai's mansion all retreated, Ye Mengde was feeling a little strange, there was suddenly one more person in the living room, happy Liu nodded at that person, walked out of the living room and closed the door. The man was majestic, masked, dressed in black, and said to Cai Jing, "I've seen the teacher." ”

Cai Jing's eyes stared at the man in black tightly, and he said with a complicated smile: "I thought you wouldn't come this time?"

The man in black took off his mask and said, "I'm afraid of causing trouble to my teacher, so I took care of a few things when I came back. ”

Ye Mengde recognized at a glance that the man in black was the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi that everyone was looking for, Ye Mengde glanced back at Cai Jing, Cai Jing's cloudy eyes were like a deep pool that could not be seen clearly, Cai Jing picked up the tea bowl beside him and asked, "You have many choices, which one are you going to choose?"

"Teacher, you and I don't actually have so many choices, others can live in seclusion and camp, but you and I can't. Yang Zhi sighed, Cai Jing said with a mocking smile on his face: "You can see it better than me, Sima Guang knocked down Wang Anshi back then, I didn't want to hurt any old friends, I thought I could get along, and in the end, when people achieved their goal, they kicked me away." There's no point in saying this now, let's talk about what you're going to do later. ”

Yang Zhi was silent for a moment, and then seemed to be a little sympathetic and said: "Right and wrong, everyone has different standards, teacher, you have no faith now, and you don't care about your family and country." I'm the same way, and now I just want to be a normal person again. ”

"Normal people, as long as they step into this quagmire, have never been normal people. Cai Jing's face suddenly showed a crazy look: "Yang Zhi, you are wrong, my belief is firmer than anyone else! It's just that I have long seen clearly, whether it is Wang Anshi's method or Sima Guang's method, there is no future!"

Cai Jing suddenly stopped talking, making Ye Meng, who had listened with relish, a little uneasy and confused, Yang Zhi actually understood: "But a person who is politically and credit-bankrupt has no appeal, so you have to find another way." That's why I've come to you to discuss the future. ”

"Things to come. Cai Jing repeated, and then fell silent, Yang Zhi's words continued: "Teacher, everything in Cai Mansion now is just an illusion that you have created to paralyze yourself! What will happen to Cai Mansion in the future, I'm afraid your heart will also be up and down." “

"Do you think I have to think about the rest of the matter?" Cai Jing asked gloomily, with a cold light flashing in his eyes; Yang Zhi smiled and said: "The teacher misunderstood, the student told the truth, from the eyes of outsiders, the teacher will be used again in the near future, and the glory is better than before, but we are our own family, we can't lie, the age of the teacher is here, ten years and eight years, no one knows, when the teacher is a master again, how those people will treat the Cai family, the teacher wants Zhao Kai to replace the prince, is it because of this concern." ”

Ye Mengde's face changed greatly, it was not that he didn't know about this matter, but because this matter was too important, and very few people knew about it, but Yang Zhi just said it casually, as if it was a gossip after dinner. Cai Jing was indifferent, but concerned about Yang Zhi's previous statement: "You said that the old man will be used again, but is it true?"

Yang Zhi's performance in the Song, Jin, and Liao Kingdoms for more than a year can be described as charming, and the master Dao wrote to the imperial court, advocating the recruitment of Yang Zhi, and even asserted that Yang Zhi was comparable to Li Jing in the Tang Dynasty, and the difference was just a chance. Yang Zhi nodded and said: "In the near future, Fangla's army will break through Hangzhou, and Tong Guan's western army will be ordered to move south. ”

Cai Jing and Ye Mengde immediately understood what Yang Zhi meant, there was no more suitable candidate than Wang Huang. In order to appease people's hearts, Cai Jing is really likely to make a comeback, Cai Jing bowed his head and said: "Liang Xun's news is what you told him?"

The amnesty was over, Yang Zhi finally returned to Bianliang, Gao Taiwei's most favored concubine was no longer Yin's, Song Huizong also greeted him personally, and Gao Yu no longer paid attention to this inconsequential little person after learning that Yang Zhi would not join the army. Yang Zhi entered Bianliang City from the sour date gate and returned to his hut, Yang Zhi felt empty along the way, and after ten days, Yang Zhi had a feeling of tiredness.

The joy of shopping in Bianliang only lasted for three days, Xu Ning and Wen Bohu both invited Yang Zhi to the party, Yang Zhi could see that the two of them were very helpless, just because many people in the party were their bosses and colleagues, and they couldn't afford to offend. And those people actually don't have much interest in Yang Zhi, they just want to meet to increase their conversation, occasionally ask Yang Zhi one or two questions, and then go back to talk about officialdom or those Fengyue things.
