Song Mingyue

Chapter 200
Zhao Hao was watching coldly among the crowd, when he heard Zhao Ji calling him, he hurried out of the line with a bewildered look, and timidly bowed to Zhao Ji: "The minister is here!"

Seeing his appearance as if he had just woken up from a dream, Zhao Ji couldn't help being angry and funny, and asked angrily, "What's your opinion on this matter?"

Zhao Hao yelled again like an idiot, and said in panic: "It's up to Your Majesty to decide!"

Zhao Ji snorted coldly and said: "Since this is the case, I will leave this matter to you to investigate and deal with it. Be sure to investigate and find out!"

Zhao Hao looked confused and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Ji: "..."

Baiguan: "..."

Apart from Cai Jing, this guy is probably the only one who can pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of Zhao Ji.

Liang Shicheng on the side couldn't hold back his anger, and said angrily: "Marquis of Shou'an, His Majesty has ordered you to be fully responsible for investigating and handling the disaster relief and civil uprising in the west of Beijing!"

It was not only Liang Shicheng who could not hold his breath, but also Yang Jian.

Except for Du Gongcai, only Yang Jian knows the details of the disaster relief in the west of Beijing. If it is said that the person Yang Jian fears the most in Beijing is Zhao Hao, because this guy doesn't play cards according to common sense.

However, before Yang Jian moved, Zhao Hao yelled loudly: "Chen, don't go!"

There was an uproar in the hall, and Zhao Ji's face changed... Even if you don't go, you have to be more tactful, even Cai Jing dare not do such a straightforward refusal.

Sure enough, before Liang Shicheng could speak, Tong Guan's bell-like voice sounded: "Marquis of Shou'an, you dare to resist the order, what should you do?"

Immediately afterwards, another person said loudly: "As the prince of the clan, Marquis Shou'an is supposed to solve the country's worries and problems, and the holy grace is great. You are already a third-rank official before you reach the weak crown. How can you stay out of it at this critical moment? Of all the civil and military officials, there is no former official who is a protégé, but you have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time and have just entered the official career. It is fair for you to investigate."

It was Jin Chongyue who spoke, and after he finished speaking, he bowed to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, if you want to find out the case, you must go to the Marquis of Shou'an!"

Before the words were finished, more than a dozen people came out and bowed in unison to the hall: "This matter must belong to the Marquis of Shou'an!"

Zhao Hao's face turned red, he glared at Jin Chongyue viciously, and then bowed to Zhao Ji: "Chen, don't dare to go!"

Not going, and not daring to go, have different meanings.

Zhao Ji was overjoyed at once, and pointed his index finger at Zhao Hao several times: "Don't you dare? You dare to travel thousands of miles alone, dare to attack an army of [-] with three hundred soldiers...you are as brave as a leopard Like, but now you don’t dare?”

Zhao Hao's expression became serious, and his voice also became calm: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, this time and that time. In the past, the ministers were in the dark, and the Liao people were in the light. Therefore, they succeeded in secret. Although they were close to death, they still had a chance... Now when I go to investigate the case, the minister is in the open, and the corrupt officials are in the dark, not to mention the old officials who are the protégés of the princes everywhere. It is said that it is easy to hide a spear in the open, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if I have to investigate this case, I hope that Your Majesty will agree to my three requests."

Zhao Ji also looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "Speak!"

"Please give Shang Fang the sword and act cheaply."

"allow!"

"From now on, within two months, any report on the impeachment of a humble official will be ignored."

"allow!"

"Borrow the three hundred soldiers and horses from the Liao Dynasty to accompany them in case of accidents."

"allow!"

The monarchs and ministers were in the main hall, sang and harmonized, and the questions were raised and answered readily.

Yu Shen, who was at the front of the rank of officials, lost his composure, and was about to get up to go out, but was gently pulled back by Cai Jing beside him.

"Don't be impatient, he's asking for trouble, let him do it." Cai Jing still looked like an old monk in meditation, his voice was very soft, and if he didn't pay attention carefully, he couldn't find him talking at all.

……

Cai House.

At this time, Bianliang was like a city of fire, full of heat, but the East Flower Hall of Cai Mansion was surrounded by green trees, which isolated the heat and noise from the outside, making it cool and comfortable.

Cai Jing was lazily lying on the rattan chair in the flower hall in a short coat. Behind the rattan chair, two pretty maidservants were shaking their fans to fan the wind. A plump maidservant on the left side was massaging acupuncture points all over his body. , the recognition of the acupoints is very accurate, and the strength of the hand is also appropriate. I used the medicated oil prepared by myself, smeared it on the palm, and pressed, massaged, and rubbed Cai Jing's body. With a grunt, the expression on his face was obviously very comfortable.

Beside him on the right side, there is a yellow pear wood coffee table, four colors of seasonal honey fruits, a pot of 20-year-old daughter red, and a stack of steaming ice cubes.

Footsteps could be heard outside the flower hall, and the butler said, "Report to my husband, Mr. Cai has arrived."

Cai Jing opened his eyes slightly, a gleam of light flashed away in his eyes, and said coldly: "Broadcast!"

After a while, Cai Mao, who was dressed in a Yanju uniform, walked in lightly, with a very respectful expression and obvious uneasiness in his eyes, and apprehensively saluted Cai Jing.

Cai Jing signaled the maid beside him to stop pressing, sat up slowly, stretched his hand to the tea table next to him, waved his hand to stop the maid who was going to help her forward, picked up the jug, and poured a glass Wine, raised the silver cup full of fine wine, shook it lightly, until there was a soft tinkling sound in the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Would you like some drink?"

Cai Mao looked uneasy, shook his head and said, "I'm not thirsty."

Cai Jing picked up the tongs, picked up a few crystal clear ice cubes from the silver plate, put them into his glass, shook it lightly, listened to the pleasant sound of jingling, took a sip of the fine wine, and said slowly: "You have a big appetite recently. You should drink a little after eating so much greasy food."

"Husband looks..." Cai Mao's face changed obviously.

Cai Jing took a sip, put down the wine glass, and waved to the servants beside him to retreat, his expression became more and more serious.

The flower hall was silent, and the air became heavy. Although the room was still extremely shady, Cai Mao's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

After a long time, Cai Maocai said expectantly: "Jin Chongyue's nonsense, husband's appearance must not be taken seriously..."

Kaifeng Mansion opened a warehouse and released 300 million shi, 100 million shi fell into the hands of Cai Jing, Yang Jian and others, but only 150 million shi was in the hands of Du Gongcai, which means that Cai Mao swallowed 50 shi, one stone equals money, consistent and one The payouts were equal, but Cai Jing only received 20 payouts, which was less than half of Cai Mao's. Cai Jing was naturally angry.

Cai Jing still kept a cold face and did not speak. Cai Mao waited for a long time for no reply. He gritted his teeth, took out a money note from his sleeve, put it gently on the tea table, and said respectfully: "I am in a hurry today. I am visiting my husband's relatives." I haven't had time to prepare a gift, so my husband will accept such a small gift with a smile."

Cai Jing glanced at it, and saw that it was a 20 coin note. His face softened a little, but he did not accept the coin note. Going up, he said indifferently: "The old man has a clean sleeve, why did he take this little money seriously, last time the housekeeper was ignorant, he took 20 yuan from you, and I will return it to you!"

"Husband, you..." Cai Mao was completely messed up, sweating profusely.

Cai Jing's expression became very serious, but his voice was still slow and peaceful: "At this juncture, don't get angry, after all, the future will be long... Go and tell Yang Jian and Du Gongcai that they ate too much, at least spit out most of it, otherwise I'm afraid It’s hard to get better.”

Cai Mao's expression was pale, and he said urgently: "Zhao Hao is not as weak as the crown, and he is still young. Although he has military achievements, he has only been an official for a year. Why should my husband think so highly of him?"

Cai Jing sneered and said, "You still smelly? Gao Qi fell into this guy's hands, how dare you despise him? What's more, now Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Wang Wei and others are from the Qingliu school, as well as the gang of miscellaneous bull noses. With this fellow, and moreover, this fellow is now in the thick of the holy family, even this old man... has no choice but to shy away from his edge and give way to three points, how dare you belittle the enemy so much?"

Cai Mao was still unconvinced: "And the account has been leveled and there is no leak, what can Zhao Hao find out? Besides, the entire Beijing Northwest Road is full of Mr. Yang's people. Even if Zhao Hao is a strong dragon, it is difficult for Zhao Hao to overwhelm the snake. He Zaiming, I am in the dark, he is a guest, and I am the host, what are you afraid of him doing? Husband is too worried..."

Cai Jing thought about it for a while, then calmed down a bit and said: "Even so, you must not relax. This kid does not play cards according to common sense, he has Shang Fang's sword in his hand, and Jin Yiwei is his wing under his command. A little careless... Everyone else is fine, Duke Du is not a scholar-bureaucrat, he was the first to die!"

Cai Mao said anxiously, "I would like to obey my husband's words."

Cai Jing nodded and said: "Tell Du Gongcai that Zhao Hao has the sword of Shangfang, and he has the right to cut first and then play, and he is not a scholar-bureaucrat, so he must not confront Zhao Hao head-on. A disaster of blood and light... all other officials who are not from scholar-bureaucrat backgrounds must do the same, otherwise Zhao Hao is young and energetic, with Shang Fang's sword in his hand, and if he kills him in a fit of anger, his death will be in vain!"

"As ordered!"

"As for other officials who came from scholar-bureaucrats..." Cai Jing changed the subject, and said with a strange smile on his face, "Don't take Zhao Hao to heart, you can contradict him as much as you want, and see what Zhao Hao can do!"

Cai Mao was at a loss when he heard this, and couldn't turn his head around for a while, so he asked suspiciously: "What does my husband mean?"

Cai Jing lay down again slowly, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "I want to see whether Shangfang's sword is stronger than the legacy of the Taizu, and whether a son from a distant clan dares to be an enemy of the entire scholar-bureaucrat class..."

Cai Mao finally came to his senses, his eyes brightened, and he said with a smile: "My husband is really good looking!"

Cai Jing waved his hand, signaling Cai Mao to back down. Cai Mao looked at the two 20-dollar bills on the coffee table, the look of regret flashed away in his eyes, and he bowed to leave.

……

In the Jinyiwei mansion, Zhao Haoduan sat in the lobby, Wu Song, Zhao Dian, Fang Baihua, Liang Hongyu, Qingmu Daochang and others stood in front of the hall, and further ahead were the big and small Jinyiwei leaders.

Except for Zhao Dian's battalion who stayed in the capital, the rest of Jinyiwei's battalions were dispatched to the west of the capital with Zhao Hao.At the same time, orders were sent to Jinyiwei, who were secretly lurking in Jingxi South Road, Jingxi North Road, Jingdong East Road, Jingxi Dongxi Road, Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road, Hedong Road, etc., to mobilize people and sneak into Jingbei Road to thoroughly investigate the serious case of ink corruption.

After dispatching troops and dispatching the generals, Zhao Hao returned home surrounded by the crowd after assigning tasks to all the troops.

As soon as he entered the mansion, the official immediately handed over a secret letter, saying that it was sent by Jin Chongyue's mansion.

Zhao Hao unfolded the secret letter suspiciously, and recognized Jin Chongyue's handwriting, but the words on it made him frown slightly.

"Although Shangfang is beneficial, but the Taizu's last instruction is not to kill scholar-bureaucrats unless you seek rebellion, I hope you will remember that you must not kill scholar-bureaucrats..."
