Chapter 286: Cai You's Truth and False Words, Drugs
Chapter 286 of the text volume: Cai You’s truth and lies, drugged officials. All the officials who once gathered around Cai Jing have now left, leaving only one grandson left here to look after him...
Of course, perhaps all of you were so shocked by today's heavy news that you were so confused that you didn't notice it at all. Besides, wouldn't it be possible to send Lord Cai back just by sending a eunuch or other handyman?
But it’s details like this that best reflect people’s hearts.
Cai Jing has been keenly aware that the people of Cai Party have begun to waver. As for the reason...it is the two resignation letters written by Cai Jing.
It's just that he can't do anything for the time being. For Cai Jing, the situation has deteriorated to the point of being irreversible. He just wants to go back to his house first and make long-term plans... and find Cai You by the way.
Thinking of Cai You, Cai Jing's eyes flashed with gloom and anger...
At the same time, Cai You, who was remembered by Cai Jing, was drinking happily with the two of them at the banquet.
Cai You's face was red, he was drunk, and he had a big tongue when he spoke:
Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun, who were sitting across the table, also had smiles on their faces, as if Cai You had just done something that satisfied them.
But more importantly, these two people were also drunk at this moment, their faces turned red, they both raised their glasses and smiled:
Cai You smiled and shook his head, stood up again, helped the two of them fill their glasses, and finally poured it for himself.
However, Deng and Gao didn't notice that when Cai You poured the wine for himself, a wisp of powder flowed out from his palm and fell into the cup, where it quickly dissolved into the almost transparent wine.
Cai You raised his glass again and saluted the two of them, then drank it all in one gulp.
The spicy and stimulating wine quickly flowed down his throat, and Cai You's eyes became clear.
After drinking, a wry smile appeared on his face:
The two people across the table looked at him doubtfully at first, and then Gao Xun took the lead and laughed loudly:
Deng Xunwu also smiled and shook his head, seeming to think Cai You's remarks were a bit childish:
He was drunk, shaking his head as he spoke, and said with a smile:
Cai You hesitated for a moment, then poured wine for them both:
He stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, but both Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun understood what he meant. Even though they were a bit drunk, their faces still turned a little ugly.
Gao Xun banged the table, his face flushed even more, and he snorted coldly:
This was already a somewhat treasonous statement, but Deng Xunwu on the side looked equally unhappy at the moment and didn't say much. He seemed to acquiesce.
Cai You also nodded and sighed:
After all, the power of Tsai's party has been weakened, which is irrefutable.
Gao Xun thought this was the source of Cai You's worry, and couldn't help but laugh: "He's just a minister, so it doesn't matter.
What?"
The corner of Cai You's mouth twitched slightly. When Gao Xun said this, he didn't seem to realize that he was a minister himself.
Gao Xun sneered:
Cai You was stunned and his eyes widened.
Deng Xunwu on the other side frowned slightly and looked at Gao Xun beside him:
Gao Xun was drunk and looked at him unconvincingly:
Even so, his voice was still much weaker.
Deng Xunwu seemed to have regained some consciousness. Seeing this, he sighed, turned his head and said helplessly to Cai You:
Speaking of this, he specifically pointed to Gao Xun beside him:
Cai You nodded hurriedly:
Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun looked at each other and nodded in unison, apparently recognizing Cai You's profound righteousness.
But Cai You's next words immediately made the two of them lose their composure.
The voices of the two suddenly rose several degrees, and even the drunken men woke up a little.
Gao Xun was still a little incoherent, whether because he was still drunk or because he was shocked by the news.
However, Cai You seemed to be shocked by the reactions of the two of them.
Cai You asked with wide eyes:
Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun opened their mouths, unable to say even a single word.
After nearly half an hour, Gao Xun came back to his senses, stood up suddenly, supported the table with both hands, leaned forward, and asked eagerly:
Deng Xunwu also looked at Cai You with surprise and uncertainty.
Cai You seemed to realize that he said something he shouldn't have said, but seeing the expressions on the two of them at this moment, he seemed frightened:
Plop~
Gao Xun sat back on his chair, his eyes a little dull.
Deng Xunwu also moved his lips, as if he didn't know what to say.
They never doubted the truth of Cai You's words. After all, from their standpoints, Cai You had never lied to them before, and in this matter, he had no need, no reason, and no position to fabricate it out of thin air.
To tease them with this kind of thing.
In this case, the problem arises.
Why is Mr. Cai thinking about becoming an official while at the same time planning such a big thing with them? This is completely contradictory!
In this case, what is he doing for?
No matter how much these two people tried to make trouble, they couldn't come up with a suitable reason.
Cai You on the side observed this scene and seemed to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room, so he tentatively explained:
Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun's expressions turned even more ugly.
Cai You is right when he says that people will change. There are definitely not a few people who are ambitious when they are young, but then die when they are old.
What's more, Cai You didn't lie either. Both of them knew this.
Cai Jing's health has indeed been in trouble for several years, and it is getting worse day by day.
If you have the intention of retiring, you may want to live peacefully until you grow old... it is entirely possible.
But in this case, why did Mr. Cai drag the two of them to do such risky things?
Cai You sighed on the side and continued:
Both Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun heard the disappointment in his words. The former looked at Cai You with a move in his heart and asked:
Cai You was stunned:
Deng Xunwu frowned slightly:
A wry smile appeared on Cai You's face:
He let out a long sigh:
After hearing this, both of them hesitated to speak, their faces full of helplessness.
Cai You's words are indeed reasonable. A son can only fulfill his filial piety. How can he persuade his father to rest and encourage him to continue working hard?
Deng Xunwu paused for a moment and then said:
Cai You gritted his teeth when he heard this, and a hint of unwillingness appeared on his face.
Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun took this expression into their eyes and nodded secretly.
Although Cai Jing is old, Cai You is not. Now he is in his thirties, which is when he is in the prime of life. If he goes out and says that he is in his twenties, some people will believe him.
How could Cai You be willing to accompany Cai Jing back to his hometown for retirement under such circumstances?
Cai You paused for a moment and continued:
A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the two people. They knew that Cai You and Cai Bian had always had a good relationship, but had he really considered Cai Jing's feelings when he made this decision?
You must know that Cai Jing and Cai Bian have never dealt with each other very well. If Cai You really turns to Cai Bian, what will Cai Jing think?
Cai You looked at the expressions of the two people and forced a smile:
This time the two of them were really surprised.
Gao Xun couldn't help but ask:
Cai You hesitated for a moment, then shook his head:
Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun wanted to say something, but at this moment there was a sudden knock on the door of Yaxiang.
Deng Xunwu's long attendant came in and said apologetically:
Deng Xunwu was stunned:
Chang Sui nodded:
Deng Xunwu didn't take it seriously. Cai Jing often returned home when he was on duty. He just regarded this as a normal situation.
Gao Xun stood up, shook his head, and took a long breath, as if he wanted to spit out the drunkenness in his chest and clear his mind:
The two looked at each other and understood each other's meaning. This time, it was best to go over and find out in a subtle way what Master Cai told Cai You about becoming an official.
Just as Gao Xun was about to open the door, he seemed to remember something and turned to look at Cai You, who had been sitting where he was.
Cai You showed a wry smile:
This was just an excuse, but after the conversation just now, both of them could hear the bitterness and helplessness in Cai You's tone.
Gao Xun sighed:
After saying that, he and Deng Xunwu left together.
In fact, Cai Jing also sent people to look for Cai You, but these people did not act together with those looking for Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun.
Moreover, Deng Xunwu's long-term entourage, who had just come in to inform, would have definitely taken Cai You back, otherwise he would have been arrested.
Even so, it is not safe here. As soon as Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun return to Cai Mansion and are asked about it by Cai Jing, the news that Cai You is here will definitely be exposed.
But at this moment, Cai You did not run away in a hurry, but continued to pick up the cup and sip the wine in small sips.
After a while, the door of the private room was opened again, and Lu Bu, dressed in black, appeared at the door.
Cai You turned his head, a smile appeared on his face.
Lu Bu came to the table and sighed, picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured it into his mouth.
Cai You smiled and said:
Lu Bu put down the wine bottle, laughed and patted his shoulder:
