Guangji River Pier.
Many officials and gentry surrounded Cao Bin as he boarded the official ship back to Beijing.
"Uncle Cao, have a nice journey."
"Uncle Cao, come back early..."
They looked at Cao Bin enthusiastically, with expectations and reluctance on their faces.
Cao Bin also kept waving, looking like he was leaving.
They were expecting Cao Bin to ask the court for money, but Cao Bin deceived them into a trap.
Who in this world is not a drama queen?
If Cao Bin hadn't been Taishi Pang's son-in-law, and if he hadn't always had a reputation as a playboy, they might not have been able to fall into their trap.
But the wonderful thing is that Cao Bin's reputation makes these corrupt officials have no doubt that Cao Bin has other agendas.
After all, who would have thought that a corrupt official would attack his colleagues because of corruption?
"snort!"
After the official ship started slowly, Yan Chasan's cold snort suddenly sounded in his ears.
He has a long way to go and gets on the boat earlier.
Cao Bin turned to look at him and chuckled:
"What? Are you jealous? You have been the imperial envoy for two months and there is no one to see you off. This shows your character!"
Yan Chasan said disdainfully: "I disdain to join these people."
Bai Yutang behind him couldn't help but said: "Cao Bin, don't be arrogant, we already have evidence that you are corrupt and harming the people!"
Cao Bin smiled and said:
"Bai Yutang, don't think that if you take refuge with Bao Heizi, I can't do anything to you."
"You'd better be honest. If you show any signs of being a gangster, I'll kill you on the spot. Bao Heizi has no reason to trouble me."
"If you hadn't been quick to see the opportunity and took refuge with Bao Heizi, the grass on your grave would have been a foot high by now."
Bai Yutang didn't expect that the playboy who was running for his life in embarrassment would become so arrogant after recruiting a master.
This made him very uncomfortable.
And he has always been proud. Never having heard such ridicule, his cheeks immediately turned red and he held his hand on the hilt of the sword...
"How dare you be so presumptuous?"
Seeing this, the sedan immediately stood in front of Cao Bin, and the huge figure immediately enveloped Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang's face turned pale and he said bravely:
"I am now a guard of Kaifeng Mansion and will not break the law..."
After saying that, his handsome white face turned red, turned around and left, not wanting to stay here for a moment.
He had never felt so depressed.
When Yan Chasan saw this, he didn't want to say anything more and turned around and entered the cabin.
Cao Bin laughed twice, feeling very happy.
In fact, he was very happy to see Bai Yutang join Kaifeng Mansion.
Although he sounded arrogant, if Bai Yutang really fled the world and waited for opportunities to cause trouble, he really had no choice.
Wu Shu is also a well-known knight in the world. He has many friends and a lot of power. If you mess with one, you will mess with the whole family.
Although the sedan chair is powerful, it can only protect his own safety.
Moreover, people in the world have always lacked scruples and resorted to unscrupulous means. It would be even more difficult to uproot someone.
But it's different when you enter the officialdom.
No matter how great a hero you are, no matter how powerful you are, once you enter the system, you have to be honest and follow the rules.
How about Liangshan? There is no fear of heaven or earth. After entering the system, if someone asks you to die, you have to die obediently.
Even if you rebel again, you will become alienated from everyone and will not integrate into the world.
Bai Yutang entering Kaifeng Mansion is equivalent to putting shackles on himself. If Cao Bin really wants to be a little darker, it will be easier to kill him.
Whether it is in stories or real history, there are too many assignments that can be copied...
"Come on, bring me a chair. I want to watch the scenery along the river!"
After arranging the soldiers to guard, Cao Bin rested on the deck, while the sedan chair stood loyally behind him to protect him.
When he returned to Beijing this time, Cao Bin only brought his sedan chair and fifty imperial guards, and Yan Chasan only brought Bai Yutang and Kaifeng government officials.
After all, there are still disaster relief supplies that need to be guarded here, and none of them dare to be careless.
The official ship went upstream, and the scenery on both sides of the river slowly passed before our eyes, which was very desolate.
In winter, everything has withered and the grass and trees are withered. Then there is a severe drought, which makes the plains of western Shandong look even more desolate and lonely.
Depressing...
"Should I do something?"
This disaster relief operation left a deep impression on Cao Bin.
Although he never showed it, the vivid faces and hungry and longing eyes of the victims were deeply ingrained in his heart.
And the heads that he personally ordered to be chopped off, the gushing blood and the ferocious expressions all reminded him of the reality of this world all the time.
"I am still Chinese after all!"
The Song Dynasty was weak and bullied, he knew it.
Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Hetao, Hexi...
This is the land that China should have had since ancient times, but it was lost in the Song Dynasty, and it still had to pay for peace.
If he just sat back and ignored him, he would always feel aggrieved and unwilling. The unwillingness was engraved in his bones and the aggrievedness was in his blood.
To put it another way, even if he is really heartless and only cares about his own happy life, he may not be able to achieve his wish.
Zhao Ji's existence made him feel very dangerous.
Not to mention the grudge between them, the fact that Zhao Ji was the king of the country's subjugation made Cao Bin's scalp numb.
He didn't want to be kidnapped like an animal and humiliated outside the customs when he was old.
His worries were not groundless.
Because in the Liao Kingdom, although Liao Shengzong was on the throne and Empress Dowager Xiao was the regent, Zhao Ji's "good prisoner" Emperor Tianzuo also appeared.
One of these two people loves painting, one loves hunting, one seeks Taoism, and the other worships Buddhism, and they were imprisoned by the Jin Kingdom at the same time.
They can be described as a pair of "bastards".
From here we can guess that the current time period is the synthesis of the three eras of Song Zhenzong, Song Renzong, and Song Huizong.
Although the currently reigning Song Emperor is named Zhao Zhen (Renzong), his persona and personality are more like a fusion of Zhenzong and Renzong. So will Zhao Ji succeed to the throne next?
This is very possible....
The results of it?
The emperor was taken prisoner, the princess was made a slave, and the subjects were made into animals.
Just thinking about it makes me feel so angry and filled with hatred that I want to eat his flesh alive...
Just when Cao Bin was worried and thinking further and further, a drake voice suddenly woke him up.
"Are you Uncle Zhongjing, Uncle Cao?"
Cao Bin came to his senses in a daze and saw a young man with acne on his face looking at him expectantly, with a twinkling light in his eyes.
Cao Bin nodded and asked doubtfully: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
With eyes filled with admiration, Acne said, "Are you really Uncle Cao? Great, I finally see you."
As he spoke, he said very excitedly: "My name is Huangfu Xiaoyi, I admire you very much, I..."
His situation was more like that of a fan who saw his idol, which made Cao Bin confused.
But he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, thinking: "I also have fans? Or am I a crazy fan? This surprise comes so suddenly!"
So, he quickly pulled Huangfu Xiaoyi up and smiled amiably:
"Where are you from? Why do you admire me? Tell me!"
