Chapter 36

Cai Jing had never met Cai Jing in person. I wonder if he would support him, and maybe he would suppress himself from buying Huainan Salt for the sake of the Song Dynasty. But he knew that Cai Jing, who had just returned to the center of power in the Song Dynasty, would definitely not want different voices behind him, but Xue Ang invisibly trampled on the old guy's bottom line.

Rumors spread everywhere in Jiangning City, and Boss Su and Yao Zhongjiao also seemed a little anxious, but Cai Yan seemed to be doing whatever he should do as if he was fine, and he didn't care at all.

There were rumors of buying salt bass, which instead covered up the incident of "the childish boy teasing a woman but killing someone without being angry". When Cai Bian returned to Henan, Cai Hua took Gu Qinniang to see him off. Cai Bian stared at him for a long time, but he didn't understand what the second uncle shook his head and sighed. The scholar of Jiangning no longer mentioned the incident of "the childish boy murdering someone". As for the madam who had never appeared, no one asked about it.

The madam Cuiyunlou was loaded into a carriage and sent to the outside of the city. Boss Su was a little worried and had persuaded him that the best way was to kill him with one knife.

Although Cai Yan had never thought about killing people, and had never killed anyone, it was very difficult to take human life when he spoke, but he knew that women who could be in a prostitute for 10 or 20 years and finally became a madam, such people could not trust them. When he still didn't know the Light Cult, he had the idea of ​​exiling people overseas forever. When he suddenly heard of the Manichaeism and learned about the Light Cult, this woman could no longer let her live. He also believed that when a list of Light Cults was placed in front of Fang La, this woman was already a dead person.

After deciding to forget the past, Cai Yan sometimes realized his cold-blooded and ruthlessness. His life was destroyed by him, and there was no trace of guilt or blame in his heart.

He locked himself in the cabin for half a month. When the Haihe was about to head north to Bianjing, Cai Hua had to live in the warehouse manor of Hairui Business. His life was quite calm, and the ups and downs outside did not affect his mood at all.

One day, the day of Yanba Maipu is coming, and Cai Hua and Xue Ang have never met once. The Su family and Fang La finally did not send a million yuan of silver coins. Su Renli, the second master of the Su family, came to Jiangning Mansion. Boss Su mentioned that Su Renli took Ling Xianger to and from various courts, and never mentioned it again.

Dongmei came with 500,000 guan silver coins and 100,000 guan salt banknotes. Cai Fei specially asked someone to send boxes of copper coins from the big ship and iron coins to wander around Jiangning City. Is there any rumors in the city that suppressed the city? Cai Fei didn't know! But he knew that Su Renli came to visit the next day, and finally asked Dongmei to entertain one or two.

Cai Li ignored the ups and downs outside and asked Boss Su, Yao Zhongjiao and Dongmei to take care of it. He only focused on learning to read in the study, practicing the ancient characters he often wrote wrong...

"Bang!"

Listening to the door slamming again, I didn't have to look up to know who it was...

"Young Master, Young Master, Young Master Chong is here, waiting for the young master in the front hall!"

Cai Yan was stunned, threw down the pen in his hand, reached out to pick up the wet wipes on the table and wiped it twice, but he felt inexplicably uneasy.

"The third brother is here, you come. Just bring the person to the study room. You are not an outsider. Why did you even set up a front hall to wait?" Cai Yan felt a little uneasy, but there was no panic on his lips.

Lu Tao was born with a reckless and cheerful personality. She was panicked and uneasy all day long half a month ago. Now she seems to have nothing happened before. She once again became a reckless girl. After hearing what he said, she hurriedly said: "No, Young Master Chong and the Prefect came together and were chatting and laughing in the front hall!"

Cai Yan frowned inexplicably, wiped Mo Hei on his hands a few more times, stood up and said, "The magistrate is here, we must be slow. Go and find Miss Gu and meet this magistrate Jiangning together."

"oh……"

Lu Tao was a little embarrassed. Seeing that she lowered her head, she was a little reluctant. She knew why she had such a reaction, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She threw down the wet wipes and still went to the front hall with her black hands on her back.

The warehouse manor of Hairui Business is relatively simple and rough, which is very different from the general Jiangnan garden-style mansion. It is a manor that exists entirely to facilitate the entry and exit of cars and horses.

The front hall is a hundred meters away from the backyard where you live. There is no corresponding partition between the two. The moon gate. From a distance, several sedan chairmen are squatting in the shadow of the corner of the wall.

"Owner."

Gu Qinniang was wearing a plain scholar's robe. Seeing her clasping her fists like a scholar, Cai Huang nodded silently.

"Let's go together."

There was not much talk, and he was alone in front, Gu Qinniang was half a step behind and followed quietly.

Perhaps because the door was too high before, it prevented Cai Yan from entering and leaving. Boss Su deliberately changed the entire hall door. When he first appeared outside the hall door, he saw a young man and a middle-aged man sitting inside. The two stopped talking and laughing, and turned to look.

Cai Huang walked in with his feet, clasped his fists and smiled at Cai Chong, "Just just now, I said Lu Tao. The third brother came here, but he didn't go directly to my study. He even thought that our brothers had separated. It turned out that they were distinguished guests."

Cai Chong looked up and down carefully at his fifth brother who had not seen for several months. His appearance was still the same, but he still looked a little thin, but he always felt that something was different, but he couldn't tell what was going on.

Seeing Cai Huang clasping his fists, Cai Hong waved and smiled: "My father has praised his fifth brother a lot recently. Of course, he is also very dissatisfied with his fifth brother's 'Old Master Cai'~"

Cai Huang was stunned and didn't care much about the status and age of the two. She sat on the chair bench next to Cai Chong and smiled and said, "As the saying goes, if a person does not have a long-term plan, he will have immediate worries."

Another sigh.

"Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, how can they win the hearts of the people? A few days ago, my fifth brother read the book "Mencius" and has a lot of experience. Mencius said that if you have the way of the world and the people, you will win the world. If you have the way of the people and the hearts of the people, you will win the people. If you have the way of the hearts of the people, you will win the people. If you have the way of the hearts of the people, you will gather with them. If you want them, don't do anything to you."

"My fifth brother thinks that the so-called "to win the hearts of the people, only "to do whatever you want and not to do what you hate" is the essence. What the people value is food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is the word "profit".

Cai Chong smiled and nodded without interrupting her. Cai Huang scratched her head and said, "The country needs the army to protect the country and protect the land, officials need to govern the local area, materials, money, grain and relief for the people who are affected, need to build embankments, water, roads and bridges, and educate the people... They need to collect taxes from the people's pockets. In other words, the court needs to pay money from the people's pockets, and the people will lose some profits. The two are in opposition and contradiction. No matter which one does the person who pays the people's money, they will be the one who is scolded. It is inevitable that the people are dissatisfied with what their father did. I don't think that his father is wrong."

"But, I am only six or seven years old, but I have inexplicably taken some false charges for this. Even if my father is in person, I don't think it's wrong to make myself laugh. Who made my father loyal to the Song Dynasty and forget his family, and could not protect his family for the sake of the Grand Master of the dynasty?"

Cai Yan knew what kind of era this was. The king, minister, minister, father, son, and head of the family had absolute authority, but he was unwilling to recognize Cai Jing as a cheap father from the bottom of his heart. He thought about his misery in the future, and was even more unwilling to go to Bianjing. He was more willing to live his own life now and save the consequences of his future implication of himself and his mother.

While speaking, he looked at Xue Ang who looked unfair and smiled: "My father is the Grand Master of the Song Dynasty and was believed by the officials. He is such a powerful and powerful official, but he is sitting on the scene and watched the child in his family be bullied for no reason. The magistrate, the boy is dissatisfied and resentful. Is there anything wrong?"

"Oh by the way, this Miss Gu is the daughter of the boy who 'tie on the street' that day, and is also the person admired by the prefect. You can ask in person about the truth, how did the boy tease on the street? But we have to agree that Miss Gu is now the boy's professor, the prefect and Miss Gu... that... 'If the love lasts for a long time, how can it be around day and night' is also good."

Cai Yan's mouth was filled with disdain and sarcastic sarcasm, and he was very dissatisfied with the old man's appearance in front of him, and he did not intend to be slandered in front of him.

Xue Ang was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. Cai Chong frowned slightly, and was a little uncomfortable with Cai Huang's sarcasm and insults, and wanted to scold him. But when he came, his father's words and instructions were just silently picking up the tea, but his eyes kept looking at Gu Qinniang wearing a scholar's robe.

When Gu Qinniang saw Cai Chong, Xue Ang looked like a scholar holding his fists silently and telling the scene of the day lightly.

Cai Chong had already roughly understood what happened when he was in Bianjing. He listened to Gu Qinniang's words with his own ears, and felt inexplicably displeased.

"The fifth brother not only saved you that day, but also gave you money to help me. When my fifth brother was dirt, why didn't the girl come forward to explain and sit down and watch the world's dirt, one hundred and six or seven years old? There were even rumors that he killed someone because of anger!"

Gu Qinniang opened her mouth, but there was no explanation.

Seeing this, Cai Yan stretched his neck, crossed Cai Chong and looked at Xue Ang, and smiled and said, "Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials. Some things are too big, so big that the common people cannot afford it. The boy does not blame him and resents the people who cannot speak for him. What's more, if the person who dares to be so dirty as a son of the Grand Tutor of the dynasty, if there is no corresponding boss behind him, or if he hopes to take the position of Grand Tutor and replace him, the boy believes that no people are so bored that they are a child. Master, do you think this is the case?"

Xue Ang's face turned pale in an instant, and it's easy to say anything else, but the sentence "replace it" is too serious. As Cai Jing's right-hand man, Xue Ang knew very well how powerful this sentence was.

Looking at Xue Ang's expression, Cai Chong knew the general cause and effect of the matter. He was also very dissatisfied with Xue Ang's intervention among the Cai family's descendants, and was silent for a moment...

"Fifth brother, everything is difficult for the court. My father is unwilling to spend too much energy on this matter." He looked at Xue Ang again and said, "There are no outsiders here, and the third brother will not be polite to you and the prefect Xue. My father has agreed to your Huainan salt bakery purchase, but this is only once, this is only one year! Next year, the Cai Mansion will not allow any salt bakery in the salt bakery in the salt bakery in the salt bakery in the salt bakery in the salt bakery in the salt bakery in the salt bakery in the next year. In addition, the rules on the surface cannot be missing, so what should we do?"

Cai Yan nodded without thinking and said, "That's natural. If my mother hadn't insisted on seeking justice for me, I wouldn't want the Cai family to get involved in the matter of salt. Even if the salt profit is high, I wouldn't want it."

Cai Chong looked at Cai Huang who looked indifferent and couldn't figure it out. The strangeness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, but he was indeed his fifth brother in front of him, so why did he feel strangeness in his heart?
