Chapter Forty-Eight: The Widow?
To be honest, Guan Yu was also overjoyed by Dian Wei's joining.
The two fought against each other before, and they both regarded each other as opponents, and that feeling of sympathy for each other appeared for the first time in their lives.
"Yes, my lord!"
Dian Wei first bowed to Wen Hao, and then nodded to Guan Yu.
This feeling of excitement he hadn't felt in a long, long time.
In this way, Dian Wei really became a member of Wen Hao's subordinates.
As everyone knows, just when Wen Hao was adding troops and generals, Zhang Yong, the county commander of Qixian County, kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
"I didn't expect that the stunning color would escape from the county government ......"
He told a few of Zhang Miao's personal soldiers what happened.
This is something that can't be helped, the entire county government went out to look for it, but they still didn't find Cai Wenji, so they had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Lord Zhang, you go and explain this kind of thing to your lord, and we will return to Chenliu immediately!"
Hearing Zhang Yong's words, the soldiers replied expressionlessly.
They were just ordered to run an errand, since there was no one, let Zhang Yong explain it himself.
"This, I will naturally explain it to Lord Zhang Miao, but I hope that the brothers can also say a few kind words when they go back, after all, you have also seen the situation in Qixian County..."
Zhang Yong showed a look of hope.
If these soldiers could have given a detailed account of the situation in Qixian County, his guilt would have been reduced a lot.
"Explain, let's go!"
It's a pity that several pro-soldiers did not give Zhang Yong face, but turned around and walked out of the lobby.
Seeing this, Zhang Yong seemed to have exhausted all his strength and sat down on the ground.
In this way, the crime of cheating the boss cannot escape.
"Cai Wenji, you wait for me, someone will escort that captain and Mrs. Cai to me!"
After a while, Zhang Yong gradually straightened up, and a vicious light flashed in his eyes.
All this is caused by Cai Wenji's departure, he is not happy, and the Cai family cannot be happy.
After a stick of incense, Mrs. Cai and Captain Wang were brought up.
The two of them have obviously not had a good time these days, they are both gray and dirty, and their faces are not good.
"Lord County Commander, but there is news from my family Yan'er?"
As soon as she entered the lobby, Mrs. Cai spoke anxiously.
"There's news? Hmph! The acting is good, to be honest, did you hide Cai Wenji?"
Seeing Mrs. Cai and Captain Wang, Zhang Yonghate's teeth itched.
If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have sent a message to Zhang Miao, and finally caused so many troubles.
"My lord, we really didn't hide, the eldest lady is gone, and we are also in a hurry!"
Captain Wang's face was full of bitterness, if he could, he really wanted to dedicate Cai Wenji to Zhang Miao now.
Here, Zhang Yong saw that the two didn't look like they were lying, and they were about to let the guards come in and tie them up.
But then, his mind moved, his eyes turned, and the words came to his lips and he took them back.
In an instant, he came up with a more perfect plan.
"Old lady, why did Master Zhang Miao and Zhang take Miss Chen to stay?"
His tone was much kinder than before.
"Huh?" Mrs. Cai and Captain Wang glanced at each other.
This attitude has changed a little too quickly.
"Isn't it Lord Zhang Miao....... I want to ....... with my young lady."
However, in the face of Zhang Yong's problem, Wang Xiaowei did not dare to slack off.
"Lord Zhang Miao? Wrong! Big mistake and very wrong! I'll tell you the truth today, the reason why Lord Zhang Miao wants to take Cai Wenji over is to match your young lady with a peerless marriage!"
Zhang Yong's eyes turned left and right, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Peerless marriage?"
"That's right, as long as Lord Sikong can take a fancy to your young lady, her status will jump from a young lady of a county order family to Mrs. Sikong, and when the time comes, Lord Cai Yong and Cai will also be on the rise from now on......."
"Do you think about what is the status of Lord Sikong? In the entire Han Dynasty, a great general, a Situ, a Sikong, and a Sima, these are all big people who are in the sky..."
Saying this, Zhang Yong came to Mrs. Cai.
"Mrs. Cai, I have also learned about you during this time, you have been in the small mountain village of Qi County for many years, and Cai Wenji almost became a friend of a mountain boy!"
"No! they didn't get married!"
Zhang Yong's words seemed to poke Mrs. Cai's sore spot, and she hurriedly retorted.
"Didn't get married?hehe, according to the rules of the Han Dynasty, even if you worship the hall, it will be completed, as for whether you can enter the cave room, that's a matter later!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yong smiled coldly.
"It's ....... This....... Captain Wang, you ....."
Mrs. Cai's face turned pale in an instant.
According to the practice of the Han Dynasty, this is indeed the case, and this is what she is most worried about.
However, only the villagers of Xiaoxi Village, Wang Xiaowei and others knew about this matter, and now it goes without saying that it must have been Wang Xiaowei who told Zhang Yong.
"Madam, if Lord Zhang Yong asks, I'll ......"
Captain Wang looked embarrassed.
He had already told Zhang Yong what he knew.
"Therefore, your Cai Wenji only has two choices now, either admit that she is already a woman, or go to Chenliu Wangfu obediently to be Mrs. Sikong, and I will keep this matter secret from you!"
“........”
Mrs. Cai stopped talking, and there was a look of struggle on her face.
Although what Zhang Yong said was right, there was definitely no shortage of Mrs. Zhengtang, and his daughter was just a concubine in the past.
"Some time ago, the county seat of Qixian County was slaughtered, and there was not a single villager left in the entire Xiaoxi Village, presumably that mountain boy has also died, so Cai Wenji is a widow!"
Zhang Yong continued to sneer.
As everyone knows, this slaughterer is none other than the mountain boy in his mouth.
"Widow? No, my Yan'er is not a widow!"
Mrs. Cai was in a hurry.
"So, madam, take your own choosing, either be a widow or go to Chenliu..."
"Ma'am, we don't seem to have a choice...."
Captain Wang whispered beside Mrs. Cai.
"Master Zhang, now the whereabouts of my family Yan'er are unknown, we say these are all ........ Why don't you wait until you find Yan'er before making a decision?"
At this moment, Mrs. Cai finally knew that the official family was not together, and these people didn't look at Cai Yong's face at all.
According to her idea, after returning to Heping County, her daughter can find a well-known son, but she is definitely not married to Lord Sikong.
After all, she must be quite old to be able to achieve the position of Sikong, and her daughter is only over eighteen.
Compared with being a widow, it is much better to be a concubine.
In case Cai Yan gets Sikong's favor again, the good things that Zhang Yong said are not impossible.
"Mrs. Cai, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, Cai Wenji will be found soon!"
"Can you really find Yan'er?"
"That's right, as long as you cooperate, you will definitely be able to find your young lady!"
"In this case, my family Yan'er is back, and we are willing to go to Chen Liu......"
After some struggle, Mrs. Cai nodded and agreed to Zhang Yong's request.
"Okay, Mrs. Cai, with your words........"
Coincidentally, before Zhang Yong's words fell, a soldier rushed into the lobby with a happy face.
"My lord, my lord, I have found Cai Wenji's traces!"
