Zhao Tong sighed: "It's easy to deal with the Third Young Master, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for my husband and Prime Minister to live up to my reputation. My husband and Prime Minister have worked hard for the country all their lives, how can we see such a thing."
Cai You said with a gloomy face: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll just go to my father's side."
Zhao Tong shook his head and said: "Scholar Cai, this is not good, you father and son..."
Cai You said: "Your Majesty, this thief Zhai Qian has been in the house for many years. If someone else goes there, he is afraid that he will run away if the opportunity arises. If I go to the lower official to find him, I will definitely capture him in one fell swoop."
Zhao Tong looked at him, thought for a long time, and then said: "What Academician Cai said makes sense. It would be more appropriate for you to go. It is always not good-looking for outsiders to go to the house to pick up people. If the news spreads all over the city, it will be a joke. You go." On the contrary, I can act quietly without being known to outsiders, and it will be easier for my husband to explain to his son."
Cai You's eyes flickered and he said: "Your Majesty, it's better that you think carefully, then I will..."
Zhao Tong said: "It's getting late now. It's a good time to hide from others and not draw attention. I'll give you a team of soldiers. Just kidnap Zhai Qian. Don't disturb others."
Cai You said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will act with caution, leaving no trace and not involving others."
After a while, the two of them each led a team of people out of the mansion. Zhao Tong ran towards Cai Chen's palace, while Cai You went straight to the grand master's palace.
Let's talk about Cai You riding on the horse, his face as gloomy as water, scheming, this is Chi Guoguo's scheming!
Why hadn't he noticed before that King Qi's methods were so good? He was using himself as a swordsman to kill several birds with one stone. Moreover, he had to be grateful to him to save his face, and most importantly, he had to work hard to do it.
It's all lies and dissuasion, whether you are concerned about your husband's face or the reputation of the Cai family, you, the second king, have said all the good things, and I, Cai You, have done all the bad things.
Could Cai You care about anyone's face? He wants to make the fuss as big as possible. I'm afraid you, King Qi, also know this, right? But now you can only lie and say not to make a big fuss, but when the city is really in trouble, you will say that I told Cai You to let the Cai family handle it because they were afraid of making a big fuss!
"Hmph!" Cai You snorted coldly on his horse, looked at the Grand Master's Mansion not far ahead, and said to the imperial guards behind him: "Since the prince has asked me to come here to take someone, don't worry about anyone's face, just listen to my orders! "
The Forbidden Army all claimed that it was good...
Zhao Tong led people to Cai Hui's palace, and after taking a look at the tall front door, he couldn't help sighing that even the Shangshu's palace couldn't match the splendidness.
Since Cai Chen had nothing to do and interfered with the affairs of Yanggu County, there was no need for him to be polite. After giving the order, the imperial army rushed directly to the door. Without waiting for the servant to speak, they rushed into the corner door and opened the vermilion door from the inside.
Zhao Tong didn't even get off his horse. The Jade Lion jumped up the steps at night and walked inside with a click. At this time, many people came out of the palace after hearing the commotion. Although they didn't recognize Zhao Tong, they saw this posture and pomp. If you dare to talk more, the clever ones will run to report to Cai Yi.
Although none of the imperial troops he brought had seen Zhai Dalang, Zhao Tong showed them the portrait, and except for a few who stayed around to protect him, the rest were sent to look for him.
Cai Chen was in his bedroom at the moment. After bringing Li Jiaoer to his residence, he felt that his bones were a few taels lighter after a month or so. The fat and white flesh on his body made him unable to stop.
This Li Jiaoer was originally from a prostitute, and she was average-looking. Ximen Qing fell in love with her on a whim. He was used to her slim appearance and wanted to taste a special taste. Who knows, it would be quite comfortable. However, Ximen Qing went to a brothel to find her. She was used to relieving her boredom, so she was too lazy to travel back and forth, so she simply took her home and made her a concubine.
Li Jiaoer is naturally used to Fengyue, and there is no difference between the matter of bed and bed in Yanggu, Tokyo. People always come up with tricks, which naturally makes Cai Chen fascinated. Cai Chen originally loves this kind of thing, but in this place in Tokyo To be honest, there are many beautiful women, but this kind of peculiar smell is really hard to find, so I cherished it like a treasure for a while.
Cai Yi even hesitated to overturn Ximen Qing's case and arrested the Yanggu County magistrate. Although he had the idea of taking advantage of Ximen Qing's family property, it was also because of Li Jiaoer. Although this woman was born in a poor family, she had no respect for Ximen Qing Qing was somewhat affectionate. The pillow was blown by the wind, so Cai Fei attacked with all his strength. How could the Yanggu County Magistrate be able to withstand it?
But he said that he was lying on Li Jiaoer's belly at the moment, feeling soft and waxy, and drowsy. Then he heard some chaos outside. If he listened carefully, he heard the sound of footsteps running towards this direction.
Cai Chen sat up, with a look of confusion on his face. Although his mansion was not as good as that of a prince or a prime minister, it was still well-defended. How could ordinary people come in? What's more, this is Tokyo, there are no worries about bandits or battlefield disasters, so why is there still chaos?
Then I heard the door banging, and someone shouted: "Sir, sir, it's not good!"
When Cai Yi heard this, he became a little angry and yelled: "What are you calling? There's nothing wrong with that!"
Someone outside said: "Soldiers are coming in!"
Another person said: "They all have swords and guns."
Someone else continued: "There are people on horseback, I'm afraid they are coming to arrest you, please run away!"
Cai Yi was so angry when he heard this. He is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the son of Cai Jing. Who dares to arrest him casually? What's more, he didn't make any mistakes. Even if he made a mistake, it would still require an official order. Soldiers would dare to arrest him anywhere.
"A bunch of bastards!" Cai Yi got out of bed angrily, went to the wall, took off his sword, and went out to kill these people who spoke freely.
At this moment, there was suddenly no words outside. He rushed to the door and stretched out his hand to pull the rosewood door, but saw that the door was kicked open with a bang. The door leaf that bounced in almost knocked him over. The sword in his hand If he had been two inches further back, he would have killed himself.
Cai Chen was so frightened that he yelled "Ah!" and stepped back. If there hadn't been a desk next to him to hold on to, he would have sat on the ground now.
The two rosewood doors were kicked open, and the imperial guards immediately stood up on the left and right sides. Then Cai Yi saw a young man on a horse looking into the house, especially in the direction of the bed inside.
Cai Chen was so angry that he was a little confused and shouted: "Where did the thief come from? How dare you bully me like this!"
Zhao Tong's face darkened on his horse: "Servant Cai, who is the thief?"
Cai Yi said angrily: "You are a thief...ah, His Highness the King of Qi."
Zhao Tong looked at his appearance and sneered: "Cai Shilang, you called me a thief? What about the official family?"
When Cai Yi heard this, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and his face twitched as he stood there. You are a thief, and your father is naturally an old thief.
Zhao Tong said: "Shilang Cai, do you want to go to the official's house to plead guilty yourself, or should I go and do it?"
Cai Chen's head was "buzzing". No one can say anything about this. Anyone who says it will be regarded as an old official thief. Then he will be in bad luck. The next step is for him to run for the position of Minister of Etiquette. Work hard, and then compete with Cai You, a wolf-hearted person.
"Ah, Your Highness Prince Qi!" Cai Fei fell to his knees with a "pop" sound. Kneeling on his knees was nothing, the real thing was to divert the matter.
"Cai Chen was blinded by lard for a moment. He didn't expect His Highness to arrive and spoke indiscriminately. Please forgive me!"
Zhao Tong looked at him and said, "Shilang Cai, there are some crimes that I can forgive, but there are some crimes that I cannot forgive!"
Cai Yi was stunned when he heard this. There was something in the other party's words, but apart from calling the officials an old thief, what other crime did he have? No, no, why is King Qi leading his troops into the mansion? Could it be that you are really asking what kind of crime is coming?
He hurriedly thought to himself, and sweat broke out on his forehead as he thought about it. He had committed so many major and minor crimes that they were countless. Who knew which one he had committed?
"Xiaoguan... please let me know for sure." Cai Hu mumbled, "I really can't think of it."
Zhao Tong looked at him and shook his head, saying, "Servant Cai, do you have a steward in your family named Zhai Dalang?"
Cai Yi's heart thumped when he heard this. He wouldn't care if Zhao Tong asked others, but Zhai Dalang was his confidant, the confidant of his confidants, the kind who did dirty work for him outside.
Zhai Dalang has connections on the green forest roads, and he is also nicknamed "Human-faced Bear". Although he is not that great, he has made many friends in the world, and he is very popular on the green forest roads in Gyeonggi. So if it is said that Zhai Dalang has done something wrong Cai Yi was not surprised at all.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed such a person in the official residence." Cai Yi couldn't lie at this moment. The other party came to his door. He obviously wanted to find out clearly. But what big thing did Dalang Zhai commit that made him come to him in person? ?
"Call him over. I have a few questions to ask him." Zhao Tong said calmly.
Cai Yi hurriedly said yes, pointing to the two servants in the distance: "Go and call Dalang over."
The two servants hurriedly looked for it, but they only walked halfway before turning back, only to see a dozen forbidden soldiers escorting a fat black man over.
The fat black man is Zhai Dalang. He is also confused at the moment. The imperial army arrests him, but he does not dare to resist. After all, he thinks that he has not committed anything recently. Although he hooked up with Lu Lin, he is not for that bowl of rice after all. Like him There are many people in the world who work as officials and gangsters. In Shandong Province, there is Song Gongming, a timely rain. I heard that he was sentenced to death for committing murder some time ago. However, he has not been involved in human life in more than a year.
"Your Majesty, we've been caught." The little leader of the Forbidden Army stepped forward to report.
Zhao Tong glanced over and saw that it was the fat black man who was with Ximen Qing in Guifan Tower.
At this time, Zhai Dalang saw Cai Yi kneeling at the door of the room, and an unpleasant feeling suddenly arose in his heart. Not many people in this capital can let their masters kneel and talk, right? It will definitely not exceed two palms and ten fingers. Who is the horse riding in front?
He looked over, and Zhao Yu also looked over. Zhai Dalang and Ximen Qing were both shrewd and sharp-eyed people, good at recognizing and remembering people. Otherwise, how could they be successful among both officials and bandits? He was just stunned for a moment before he immediately recognized Zhao Tong as the young man he had seen in Guifan Tower that day.
Although he recognized him, Zhai Dalang still didn't realize for a moment. Who is this young man? What are you doing with a little shrimp like yours? I haven't offended him, no, it seems that Ximen Qing has offended him. Ximen Qing, Ximen Qing... is dead!
Zhai Dalang immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He had a delicate mind, but he suddenly felt something fishy about Ximen Qing's death, and his heart began to beat wildly.
Zhao Tong smiled and said to Cai Chen: "Servant Cai, this steward of your family is a big shot."
Cai Yi opened his mouth, what kind of big shot is Zhai Dalang? Their brothers have been kicking their butts since childhood. As for having connections with people from Green Forest, what does Green Forest mean to you, His Highness, Prince Qi? You are a prince, promoted to the Guards and Military Division, and you are currently in charge of more than 100,000 imperial troops. Although it is said that you cannot dispatch them to join the war, there is still no problem with 1,800 cavalry moving around the capital, right?
As for the Green Forest, if you want subordinates, all you have to do is move your fingers, and those Green Forest gangsters will have to queue up from Tokyo to Damingfu to seek refuge?
Cai Yi really couldn't figure it out.
Zhao Tong suddenly said: "Zhai Dalang has a close relationship with Gui Fan Lou, and he is a fish that slipped through Gui Fan Lou's net!"
"Ah? Guifanlou..." Cai Yi was stunned. It has been more than a year since the incident at Guifanlou. There are still two forbidden troops watching the Bazi Shuikou every day. As for the reason, the ministers in the court now know it. 7788, isn't it just blocking the officials from digging tunnels to secretly meet with Master Li? You, King Qi, are a good flatterer. You purge the bandits in compliance with your father's wishes and kill the thieves to avenge the people. But what does this matter have to do with Zhai Dalang?
"Your Highness, Zhai Dalang and Guifan Tower..." Cai Hui really didn't know that Zhai Dalang had been to Guifan Tower, but he also understood that Guifan Tower is not a place you can just go to if you want. It has nothing to do with your status. You need someone. Introduction, you need to have connections there, but back then there were dignitaries who went there to play, didn’t they just turn a blind eye and not pursue the matter?
Zhao Tapi smiled and said: "He is the broker of Huanxi Tower. It's hard to say whether he is the leader or not!"
Cai Chen was stunned. If this happened, things would be serious. The brokers in Guifanlou were guilty of more serious crimes than the ordinary gangsters there. As for the leader, it was a no-brainer that he would be implicated.
Zhai Dalang's face turned green next to him. No matter which one he committed, it was a crime of beheading. Moreover, when he thought of Ximen Qing, he realized in his heart that this matter was definitely not directed at him. Who was he? At best he was called a steward, at worst he was a house slave. How could such a big shot come to arrest him personally?
As for Ximen Qing, Zhai Dalang naturally knew that Cai Feng reversed the case for Ximen Qing some time ago. Ximen Qing's concubine is still in Cai Feng's house at this moment, so this matter is...
Zhai Dalang gritted his teeth. He knew that after today, he would never get better, so he shouted: "Sir, I took Ximen Qing to Guifan Tower!"
Cai Yi frowned, why did this matter involve Ximen Qing again? Does it have anything to do with Ximen Qing... What? Ximen Qing has been to Guifan Tower? !
Cai Yi was immediately stunned. No matter how talented he was, people were never stupid. At this moment, he immediately realized in his head that King Qi was clearly here for him and for the Yanggu case!
Zhao Tong looked at Cai Chen at this time and said with a smile: "Servant Cai, the evidence of Ximen Qing's collusion with bandits is conclusive, I don't know how the raid on his house in Yanggu County will lead to the crime of framing his colleagues!"
Cai Yi was shocked: "Ximen Qing, he..."
Zhao Tong added: "By the way, I heard that Ximen Qing even made his husband Xiang his godfather. He was recommended by Zhai Dalang's father Zhai Qian. This Zhai Qian's son is a bandit and dares to deceive his husband Xiang. Your eldest brother Cai You has already gone to the house to get someone."
Hearing this, Cai Yi's mind went "rumbling". Could it be that this incident actually set him on fire?
