Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Chu Tianjiao left Zichen and Lu Dingfeng to take charge of cleaning up the Xinyang Palace.

He only took Feng Jia and Fang Hong with him and secretly went to Cui's house.

Xinyang City and Nanyang City are completely different from ordinary scenes.

People kept their doors closed, and even if they heard movement on the street, they did not dare to open their doors to pry.

Chu Tianjiao avoided the two groups of patrolling rebels and came to the door of Cui's house under the leadership of Fang Hong.

The Cui family is considered a wealthy family. The red lacquered door is now covered with wooden boards. It must have been temporarily repaired after it was damaged before. It looks very shabby.

The door was closed tightly. Fang Hong gently knocked on the door. After a while, a voice came from inside the door: "Who?"

Fang Hong leaned into the crack of the door and passed a message inside, announcing his home address and saying that he had something urgent to do and wanted to see Mr. Cui.

The Cui family had business dealings with Fu Yuanchang of Xinyang. Although the Fang family in Ganzhou was a merchant, they were looked down upon by wealthy families because of their reputation as "kindness".

I heard that the young master of the Fang family came to visit in person and had important matters of life and death to discuss. Although it was late at night, the concierge still went in to report.

Chu Tianjiao and three others were invited into Cui's house.

It is a large and well-established house with a deep courtyard, but several big trees at the entrance have been cut down.

Seeing the torches and sticks held by the servants in the courtyard, you knew why these trees were cut down.

The person who received Chu Tianjiao was not Mr. Cui Shang, but his fourth son, Cui Pingzhi, the fourth master of the Cui family.

Cui Ping was about thirty years old, dressed as a scholar, and looked at Chu Tianjiao with bloodshot eyes, a little dissatisfied in his eyes.

I think everyone would be dissatisfied if they were woken up from their sleep in the middle of the night to meet guests.

Chu Tianjiao apologized to Cui Pingzhi as Fang Chengxuan: "I'm rude for disturbing you late at night."

"Master Fang, what's the emergency? The Cui family can't protect themselves now, so I'm afraid they won't be able to help Master Fang."

Cui Pingzhi raised his hand and made an invitation gesture, inviting Chu Tianjiao to take a seat.

Cui Pingzhi's attitude was neither rude nor polite. It was a bit arrogant and repulsive, but there was no trace of it.

To be able to treat Fang Chengxuan, the son of a businessman, when he was disturbed late at night, Cui Pingzhi was already well-educated.

Chu Tianjiao got to the point directly: "I wonder if Mr. Cui Shang and Mr. Cui are in the mansion?"

Cui Pingzhi said calmly: "My father is old and has suffered some disturbances. Now he is ill in bed and it is not suitable to see guests.

All matters in the government are decided by me.

If Master Fang has something to do, you might as well tell me directly. "

What Chu Tianjiao wanted to rely on was Cui Shang's reputation and his experience as an official in the imperial court.

This Cui Pingzhi should be the youngest son who stayed in the Cui family to take care of the general affairs, and was not old enough to take on this matter.

Chu Tianjiao could only ask: "I wonder what the Cui family thinks of King Yixing?"

Cui Ping was stunned and didn't understand the purpose of "Master Fang"'s question.

What if this "Master Fang" is already a member of Zhang Xing's family and comes to the Cui family to persuade the Cui family to be Zhang Xing's pawn, then there will be trouble.

Chu Tianjiao added: "Zhang Xing killed all the big families in the city, including King Xinyang, leaving the Cui family alone.

I wonder if the Cui family is grateful, or is it because of Zhang Xing's power that they have to bow their heads and lie dormant? "

Cui Pingzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Chu Tianjiao didn't have the slightest respect for Zhang Xing in his tone.

He probed: "Isn't Fu Yuanchang just fine?"

Chu Tianjiao said: "Fuyuanchang's Xinyang branch has been completely looted. Fortunately, the shopkeeper and the clerk survived by sacrificing their money.

I just entered the city tonight. If I had been in Xinyang City earlier, I might have been poisoned by Zhang Xing. "

Only then did Cui Pingzhi confirm the position of the "Master Fang" in front of him and reveal his true emotions:

"Zhang Xing is nothing more than a bandit. He is so ambitious that he dares to become king, which is a big joke in the world!"

Chu Tianjiao then revealed the truth: "My Fang family guards have already controlled Zhang Xing, and I came here tonight to pay homage to Mr. Cui.

I want to ask him to raise his arms and lead the people in the city to find a way to survive. "

Cui Pingzhi was shocked: "What? You people from Fuyuanchang arrested Zhang Xing?"

Chu Tianjiao nodded: "Zhang Xing is now under the supervision of my people in Xinyang Prince's Mansion.

But there are still [-] bandits and thousands of rebels in Xinyang City. To clear these people, we need manpower.

Moreover, the imperial troops outside the city surrounded but did not attack, and their intentions were unclear.

Feng Zhixia, the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, was ruthless by nature and loved great achievements.

I'm worried that even if I bring all the people in Xinyang to surrender, I won't be able to escape the crime of being a rioter and be massacred in the city.

Therefore, it is necessary to use Cui Laoyuan's reputation to improve his reputation.

I also invite Mr. Cui Si to introduce me to Cui Laoyuan. "

Cui Pingzhi did not dare to look down on Chu Tianjiao anymore.

They arrested Zhang Xing, which is a bit unpleasant, but now Xinyang City is in their hands.

Moreover, what Chu Tianjiao just said was indeed urgent.

He really couldn't make the decision, so he had to ask Chu Tianjiao to wait, and he hurriedly ran to ask his father for instructions.

After a moment of burning incense, Chu Tianjiao was invited into the upper courtyard of the Cui family, and Mrs. Cui met her in the study.

This Cui Shang is nearly [-] years old, but he has a youthful face and a strong spirit.

Chu Tianjiao bowed to the old man respectfully.

After all, the other party was a great scholar who had served as an official in the same dynasty as her grandfather, Lao Li Yanghou, so she should be treated with some respect.

Cui Shang looked at Chu Tianjiao silently, a smile gradually rose on his face, and he said in a loving and soft voice:

"Thank you for your hard work, little doll.

My fourth child has just told me everything you mentioned.

You did a good job. A villain like Zhang Xing took advantage of the chaos and became king, so he should be killed for good reason.

It's a pity that we don't have such a brave boy like you in Xinyang City!

You are right to worry that Feng Zhixia outside the city is so happy about his military success that he will massacre the city for military glory.

People's hearts are unpredictable and desires are hard to satisfy. In today's world, we cannot gamble with the lives of the people in the city.

But since you can get in, you can get out.

After dawn, I will ask Pingzhi to take my Cui family members to help you clean up the rebels in the city.

After taking control of the city, I only need to repair the book and give it to Feng Zhixia and Yuzhou Prefecture, and Xinyang's difficulties can be solved. "

Chu Tianjiao had already arrived, and as long as Cui Shang was willing to come forward, this matter would be easy to handle.

Once Cui Shang's letter was sent to the Yuzhou Prefectural Mufu, Feng Zhixia would no longer be able to do anything.

"Cui Laoyuan is thinking carefully.

Please also repair the book immediately. I will send someone out of the city immediately, first to Xingyang. "

Cui Shang asked Cui Pingzhi to polish his ink on the spot and prepare to write a letter.

Chu Tianjiao added: "Please Mr. Cui, please don't mention my Fang family in your letter. Just say that it was the Cui family who led the people in the city to bring order to the chaos."

Cui Shang looked at Chu Tianjiao with a smile and asked: "My Cui family doesn't like to take credit from others. If Master Fang doesn't want to take the credit, why not just pass it on to the people in this city?"

Chu Tianjiao nodded.

She found it strange that Mr. Cui seemed to be too kind to her, and she didn't ask why she refused to take credit.

If it was really Fang Chengxuan who did this, capturing the leader of the rebels would be a great achievement. It would be difficult for ordinary people to resist such a temptation.

But she pushed out the credit, and Mr. Cui agreed without even asking the reason.

After writing the letter, Cui Pingzhi dried the ink, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Chu Tianjiao.

Cui Shang took out a jade hook from his arms and handed it to Chu Tianjiao:

"Little baby, this jade hook is my personal belongings. As long as the Cui family sees it, it will be like seeing me. You can take it!"

Cui Pingzhi shouted in shock: "Father, what are you..."

Cui Shang glared at Cui Pingzhi, frightening his words back.

Chu Tianjiao took the jade hook and felt that the jade hook was transparent and the carving was surprisingly good. It was shaped like a half-moon and had the ancient seal character "Cui" on it, which should be a symbol of some kind of status.

She returned the jade hook and said, "How dare you accept such a great gift from the nursing home?"

Cui Shang chuckled, "You can bear it! I'm so happy, back then... forget it, next time you pass by Xinyang at your convenience, don't come to Cui Mansion again.

Go, go, Brother Polu has a grandson like this, I envy you! "

Chu Tianjiao tightened his grip on Yu Gou, raised his head sharply, and stared at Cui Shang: "You..."

Cui Shang had already stood up and waved his hand: "Since I am the son of the Fang family, there is no need to reveal my true identity. Just call me Grandpa Cui when you come next time!"

Polu is the character of Lao Liyanghou.

Chu Tianjiao knew that Cui Shang had recognized him, but he understood his difficulty in revealing his identity. This was to allow him to continue pretending to be the young master of the Fang family, so as not to expose his identity.

Chu Tianjiao bowed to Cui Shang again, turned around and stepped out of the study. Cui Pingzhi sent her out of the Cui Mansion with suspicion.

The two made an appointment to take action together tomorrow.
