"It's not good, it's not good. Every time you see me, you either say something bad or ask for money. It's strange that I can be nice!"
Cui Jingtong's health has been very poor recently. He always feels weak and pale.
But after listening to his son's words, his blood surged with anger, and his face turned quite rosy!
"Dad, please don't be angry first, it's really bad!"
Cui Sheng rubbed his sore chest and said aggrievedly.
"Get out of here, motherfucker!"
Cui Jing threw a tea cup at him.
"Click..."
Before it could hit his son, the teacup had already shattered.
"Dad, don't be angry yet. This is today's newspaper. You will know after reading it!"
In order to prevent me from throwing another one, Cui Sheng raised the newspaper in his other hand and handed it to me, regardless of his chest.
Recently, I have been in poor health and have been unable to take care of him, so I often stay at Yihongyuan these days.
It was the same thing last night. After a night of drinking wine there, as soon as I went out, I ran into a group of newsboys, shouting loudly.
Even though he was a dandy playboy, his heart skipped a beat after hearing the general content of the newspaper!
He knew more or less what was going on at home. I sent money to Li Si and went through the back door, hoping that Li Si would help bring down Zuixianren Liquor House, but I never heard from him!
My illness is also caused by this!
As a result, there is news now, but it is the news of Li Si's downfall and execution!
"What? Li was executed for committing treason against the enemy?"
Just glancing at the title, Cui Jingtong rolled his eyes and almost lost his breath. It took him a long time to recover.
"Dad, dad, don't get too excited, don't get too excited!"
"Yes, sir, it doesn't matter that Li Si was beheaded. There are so many ministers in the court, and there will always be those who can't stand the young master. We can contact other ministers. Didn't you say that there is a General Li who is also at odds with the young master?" ?"
Seeing that he was so excited, his son Cui Sheng and the housekeeper quickly tried to persuade him.
"Yes, and General Li, his status in the court is not low!"
Hearing this, Cui Jingtong finally cheered up.
"Dad, this... I'm afraid this won't work!"
"Why?"
Cui Jingtong and the housekeeper looked up together, with doubts on their faces.
"Because the newspaper said... said... that General Li had colluded with the Prime Minister and participated in collaborating with the enemy and treason, and he has been exiled!"
"What?"
Cui Jingtong lost even this glimmer of hope, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Master, it doesn't matter. Isn't there still Feng Jie?"
"He was exiled too!"
"There are... there are others, there must be others! Master, don't worry, we will keep the green hills here, and we are not afraid of running out of firewood. As long as we have money, there will definitely be people willing to help!"
The butler's mind was racing, and he had to calm down Cui Jingtong's mood first.
As long as the master is here, the Cui family will never be separated!
If the master is gone, and the eldest young master is in his current state, he will just eat and wait for death. Sooner or later, the remaining wealth of the Cui family will be wiped out by him!
"Well, yes, we still have money. If we have money, we won't be afraid that no one will do anything...!"
Cui Jingtong took a strong breath and nodded. Then he seemed to suddenly think of something and said: "Cui Cheng, later you take someone with you to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get the money back. If the matter is not done, the money will always be needed." Return it to us!”
"yes!"
Cui Cheng agreed immediately and was very happy.
"Dad, there's no need to go. Li Si's mansion has been completely ransacked. Not even a penny can be found, and everyone inside has been exiled!"
Cui Sheng's flat-mouthed words immediately extinguished the slightest hope I had just ignited.
"Fuck you!"
After Cui Jingtong cursed, he grabbed a tea cup on the opposite side and hit his son accurately.
Whenever he had a glimmer of hope, this kid was a basin of cold water!
He went back and forth several times, his heart also jumped up and down several times, and he almost died!
Then he grabbed the newspaper lying on the table and read the contents carefully.
But after he understood everything, his eyelids seemed to be out of control and became heavier and heavier.
My body also started to shake, and I couldn't even sit still.
In a daze, he felt that the Cui Mansion was in chaos, with various sounds mixed together.
"Dad, Dad, how are you? You must not die. You haven't left any last words. If you die, how will this property be divided?"
"Master, you must hold on! We have already sent someone to ask for the doctor!"
"Yes, go and invite the doctor quickly. No matter what, you have to let my father leave his last words before leaving!"
…
In addition to the Cui family, the entire Xianyang City was in chaos after seeing the newspaper!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, who would have thought that so much money could be found in the Prime Minister's house!"
"Isn't that right! There is a concubine in Li Si's house. Her natal family is my neighbor. Before she married her daughter, her linen clothes were patchy. But after she married her, the house was completely renovated and the whole family's clothes were made of silk and satin. There are more than a dozen people above and below, all of whom don’t have to do any work, just waiting for this daughter to support them. They walk with their heads raised, and they don’t look down on us at all. Now, let’s see how majestic they can be!”
"Hmph, they are exploiting our people's hard-earned money. It would be strange to spend it without getting retribution!"
"You're really right. Ever since their daughter flew onto a branch and became a phoenix, several of her grandsons have died in infancy. Now that I think about it, it's all retribution!"
"Let's just be honest and live our lives in peace!"
"That's right, I heard that the person who found out that the Prime Minister was collaborating with the enemy and treason, and even helped the envoy to escape, and went back to the Xiongnu to report the news, is the young master!"
"Really? That young master has done another great thing for our people, otherwise we wouldn't know how much blood these vampires would suck from us!"
"Yes, thanks to the young master...!"
A few hours after the newspaper was sold, such voices could be heard in Xianyang City. People gathered in twos and threes, talking about Li's treason against the enemy.
A lot of scandals about Li Si when he was young were even revealed, which shocked everyone even more!
"What should we do? Our people have been killed, we have to send the news back!"
"Well, that's right. We have to move quickly. The newspaper said that the army will go out tomorrow. We have to get ahead of the army and deliver the news to the king's account!"
"Such a big thing has happened recently. There must be chaos in the city. We can take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city!"
…
Not only the people gathered in the city, but also many Xiongnu spies installed in Xianyang.
After they saw the newspaper, they immediately met in a very secluded place through the previously agreed method, hoping to pass on the news!
Once the Qin army invades the territory, the Xiongnu have no preparations and will definitely suffer!
