Regent sucks cats daily
Chapter 50 My body is a little hot
On the day of Mr. Zhu's birthday, Jiangling City was full of uproar.
Among the forces in Jiangling City, the Cai Mansion in the south of the city, the Zhu Mansion in the north of the city, and Yunxiao Mountain Villa have always been well watered, but I didn't expect Cai Li to come here suddenly. This is to break the balance of power in Jiangling City. Monopoly hegemony?
In fact, after so many years of management, Cai Li has already acquired almost half of Jiangling City's property. If it weren't for the Zhu family and Yunxiao Villa in the north of the city, he might have brought the entire Jiangling City under his control.
I thought that Cai Li would be scruples about these two families and would not extend his claws to Chengbei, but he didn't expect him to start targeting them.
Fortunately, after the Zhu Mansion's birthday banquet, Cai Li was quiet for a few days and nothing happened.
Cloud Mountain Villa.
Xiao Fan got up early in the morning to practice swords with Ji Changxuan, and after breakfast, he planned to go to his room to study and practice calligraphy, when he saw Zhu Hongye running over in a sea blue suit with a bulging bun face.
"Ji Changxuan, are you free today?" He looks a little round, and the blue dress on his body looks good, but it doesn't look so eye-catching when worn on him.
Ji Changxuan was wiping his beloved sword, and glanced at him, "No, I'm going to the training ground."
"You have to go today? I'm so bored by myself." Zhu Hongye stared at him with his slender eyes open.
Ji Changxuan shook his head, and said firmly: "If my adoptive father finds out that I am lazy, I will be miserable. I said, you can't do your job every day, right? You are the eldest grandson of your family, and the burden will be on you in the future."
Zhu Hongye was silent for a while, and when Ji Changxuan put the sword into its sheath, Fang said: "You also know that I have no aptitude for martial arts since I was a child. My mother is gone. My father doesn't care about me, and my grandfather doesn't care about me. What else should I practice martial arts?"
"But you can't give up just because of this, can you?" Ji Changxuan reached out and patted his round shoulder, "You can't practice martial arts, but you can still study literature."
Zhu Hongye waved his hand away, with a displeased expression on his face, "You are going to the martial arts field, so hurry up, if you are late, your adoptive father will probably scold you, so I will play with Xiaofan."
Before leaving, Ji Changxuan specially instructed: "Don't lead Xiaofan down."
Zhu Hongye suddenly became a little angry when he heard the words, "Ji Changxuan! Am I a rotten person in your eyes!"
Ji Changxuan thought he was playing a temper tantrum, so he waved his hand and left with his sword.
Zhu Hongye had nowhere to vent his anger. He looked at Xiao Fan, who was quiet, and saw that his eyes were clear, and he looked at him without the hatred of iron and steel that other people had in his eyes. He felt slightly comforted, and stretched out his arms to embrace his thin body. shoulder, "Ji Changxuan is gone, let's play together."
Xiao Fan looked at his expression carefully, and said, "I still have to read and write."
Zhu Hongye hesitated, and finally heaved a long sigh, "Forget it, you can study as long as you study, and I will accompany you by the side." In fact, it was just that he wanted to find someone to accompany him.
Xiao Fan nodded fiercely, and brought Zhu Hongye to his room. Zhu Hongye looked around, then sat down, saw the books on his desk, and suddenly said in surprise: "You actually only learned this book? My six You will be able to when you are nine years old, right?"
Xiao Fan was a little embarrassed, "No one taught me before, I just started to learn it recently, don't laugh at me."
Zhu Hongye's face that was still a bit disappointed suddenly burst into a smile, stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of Xiao Fan's head, "How can I? Come on, let me teach you what you don't know!"
He has always been behind his peers, whether it is practicing martial arts or studying. Although he pretends not to care on the surface, he often feels uncomfortable in his heart. Now he sees Xiao Fan who is worse than him, although it is not kind , but he still couldn't help being happy, even looking at Xiao Fan was much more pleasing to the eye.
"Oh, no, this sentence is read like this, you are wrong."
"Wait, I don't understand it that way, let me tell you..."
"Your word is too ugly, even worse than me."
"Hand holding a pen is like this, oops, no, let me show you."
The white and delicate fat hand grabbed Xiao Fan's thin and thin hand, and led him to write two words on the paper. Although the writing was not beautiful, it was dignified and neat.
Xiao Fan turned to look at his eyes full of admiration, "Brother Hongye, you are really amazing!"
"That's it!" Zhu Hongye smiled, let go of him, and sat down beside him, "You continue to write, I'll watch."
Although Xiao Fan was small, he had a clear mind and asked him while writing: "Brother Hongye, are you unhappy today? Is it because of what happened that day?"
Zhu Hongye leaned on the back of the chair and glanced at him, "Write your handwriting carefully, children should not be too curious."
Xiao Fan let out an "oh", and really didn't ask any more.
Zhu Hongye waited for a long time but didn't get it, so he called him angrily, "You don't want to know why I'm unhappy?"
Xiao Fan obediently asked him: "Why are you unhappy?"
A lonely look appeared on Zhu Hongye's face, "Today is my birthday." But no one remembered it.
Xiao Fan's pen tip froze, leaving a puddle of ink on the paper. He quickly put down the pen, turned around and said seriously: "I remember it."
Zhu Hongye was amused by the serious and serious expression on his little face. His skin was very fair. Although his face was a little fleshy, it didn't look greasy at all, but rather pleasing.
Seeing him smile, Xiao Fan couldn't help being a little happy, "I mean it."
"Okay, kid, you won't be able to stay in Jiangling City for long, so what if you remember?" Zhu Hongye didn't take his words to heart, but he was still quite happy in his heart.
"When I can earn money myself, I'll buy you a gift and send it to Jiangling City." Xiao Fan secretly decided in his heart, before Brother Hongye bought so many delicious and fun things for himself, he also wanted to reciprocate. OK.
Zhu Hongye was amused by him when he heard the words, "Then you have to remember, since you already remember my birthday, what about you?"
Xiao Fan said "ah", "I don't have a birthday."
Zhu Hongye thought he was joking, "Why not? Everyone will have it, tell me quickly, or I won't give you gifts in the future."
"I really don't have one." Xiao Fan said with determination.
He really didn't know, and his adoptive mother didn't tell him, and he didn't know about such things as birthdays until he came out.
The smile on Zhu Hongye's face gradually disappeared, he stood up suddenly, stretched out his arms to hug the thin Xiao Fan, and patted his back, "So you are worse than me."
After letting go, he couldn't help but ask again: "Your foster father didn't celebrate your birthday?"
Xiao Fan was puzzled, "Father?"
"That's right, isn't Second Uncle Tan your adoptive father?"
"No, he is my second uncle."
Zhu Hongye: "..." Is Xiao Fan the illegitimate son of Uncle Tan Lie?This is impossible!
"I used to be locked up in one place and couldn't go out. My adoptive mother passed away when I was six years old. I was rescued by my second uncle more than a month ago." Xiao Fan didn't have any sad expression when he said this , as if telling someone else's story.
But when Zhu Hongye heard the words, he immediately filled his mind with many tragic pictures. Could it be that this child was kidnapped and sold since childhood?Then luckily met the second young master Tan who was traveling in the clouds, and was rescued by the second young master Tan and took him with him.
He hugged Xiao Fan again, "You are so pitiful."
In such a comparison, he instantly felt much happier.
"It's okay, brother will treat you well in the future." He gently patted the back of Xiao Fan's head.
Xiao Fan has grown up so much, no one has ever hugged him, no matter how nice his adoptive mother treats him, he is not close enough, just like how Uncle Fu in the second uncle's house treats his second uncle with more than caring but not enough intimacy.
This was the first time he was hugged by someone, and it felt very warm. Brother Hongye's body was very soft and fragrant.
"Okay, since you had such a miserable life before, I won't laugh at you for not reading enough books and writing ugly handwriting, you should practice handwriting quickly." Zhu Hongye stretched out his hand and pinched his fleshless face, thinking, No wonder the kid is so skinny.
Xiao Fan shook his head, "Wait a minute, today is your birthday, I want to give you a present."
As he spoke, he ran to the yard and tore a few thin strips from the palm tree, sat on the ground and began to weave. This is what he learned from his adoptive mother in the palace when he was a child, and his adoptive mother had woven many small animals for him. He raised his eyes and looked at it. Confused Zhu Hongye thought for a while and said, "Brother Hongye, let me make you a little rabbit."
"You still make up this? Awesome, but I don't want a little rabbit, I want a big tiger!"
Xiao Fan nodded, "Then make up two, one rabbit and one tiger, I will give you the tiger, and keep the rabbit for myself."
"Okay!"
Zhu Hongye sat beside him, watching his fingers flying, but after a while, a naive tiger appeared in the palm of his hand, and he brought it to Zhu Hongye. Zhu Hongye held it in his palm and looked at it, "This tiger is not majestic at all."
"It's a tiger if it's not majestic." Xiao Fan made up a little rabbit as he said, it was very cute.
Before Zhu Hongye could take a closer look at the little rabbit in Xiao Fan's palm, he heard a rush of footsteps coming towards this side, "Master! Master!"
It was Zhu Yan, his personal attendant.
Zhu Hongye stuffed the big tiger into his clothes casually, stood up, saw his panicked expression, and asked, "What's wrong? He's in a panic."
"Master, it's not good, something happened in the mansion!"
Zhu Yan was crying, "Young master, my aunt is gone. The master brought some young masters to the Cai Mansion to demand someone, and they are now fighting fiercely in front of the Cai Mansion!"
"You said little aunt is missing?" Zhu Hongye immediately ran out of the mansion, "Take me to Cai's mansion quickly!"
"Master! Master!" Zhu Yan hurriedly followed Zhu Hongye who was running fast.
Xiao Fan stood up, holding the little rabbit in his hand, his eyes were a little worried, the second uncle was out of the villa because of something, so he couldn't help even if he wanted to.
Zhu Hongye ran wildly in the street. After all, he has practiced martial arts for more than ten years. Although he is not a master, his physical fitness is much stronger than the average person. In the blink of an eye, Zhu Yan will not be able to catch up with his young master.
Zhu Hongye ran to the south of the city with all his strength, and before he reached Cai's mansion, he ran into his uncle, who had some blood on his body, and the people on the road gave way and hid in their homes. It seemed that something serious happened.
When the uncle saw him, he grabbed him, "Hongye, you came just in time, I was just going to find you, don't go there first, my uncle has something important for you, you go to Yunxiao Villa immediately, don't go home, do you know!"
Zhu Hongye was very anxious, but the uncle must have his intentions for this move, even if he can't help, he can't hold back!
There were still sounds of fighting not far away from time to time, and Zhu Hongye said cruelly, "Uncle, can I ask Uncle Tan for help?" Tan Lie and Ji Changxuan are both in the martial arts training ground, and there is still time to come over to help.
Uncle shook his head, "Hongye, don't do anything, just stay at Yunxiao Villa! Go!"
Zhu Hongye didn't know what happened, but now he could only follow the orders of his elders and ran to Yunxiao Villa. As soon as he ran to the gate of Yunxiao Villa, he ran into Tan Shiguan who had just returned.
"Second Uncle Tan!" Zhu Hongye's face was full of anxiety, "Can you go and save my father and the others?"
Xiao Jumao nestled in Tan Shiguan's arms, stared at the embarrassed young man in front of him with round bright eyes, then looked up at Tan Shiguan again.
"It's all right now, the government has intervened, your father and the others went to Cai's house to make trouble without authorization, and they were locked up in prison." Tan Shiguan said without any expression on his face.
"They arrested my little aunt first, and my father and the others are just asking for someone!" Zhu Hongye was sweating anxiously, "Besides, the government has always ignored the affairs of the Jianghu, why did they lock my father and the others in this time?"
"The Cai Mansion is not really a power in Jianghu, so the government can naturally manage it." Tan Shiguan paused and said, "You come in first, they will come out soon."
Zhu Hongye nodded, as long as dad and the others are fine, it is better to be arrested by the government than to be killed by Cai Li, but, "My little aunt is missing, I want to find her."
"Your Uncle Tan has brought someone to look for it, and you will stay in the villa for a few days." After watching the words, Tan Shi walked into the mansion.
Zhu Hongye thanked him and went in with him.
Xiao Jumao looked at the worried-looking young man who was following behind him, and felt that his bad impression of him had improved a bit.
In fact, since Cai Li hadn't moved since the birthday banquet that day, they became a little suspicious.Tan Shiguan sent secret guards to monitor secretly, and then contacted Xing Kai, the commander of the Jiangnan garrison.
Zhu Qiaoqiao was taken into captivity today. The Zhu family concluded that it was Cai Liqian for two reasons. One was because of Cai Li’s arrogant words on the day of the birthday banquet, and the other was that the person who was tied up in the mansion disappeared with Zhu Qiaoqiao. Who else could Cai Li do?
So, Mr. Zhu led everyone from the Zhu family to the Cai Mansion to ask for someone. In the end, he was besieged by Cai Lijiao. Those were all crazy people who had eaten Yincao. Let the youngest son break through the siege while they are dragging Cai Li's thugs, go to Yunxiao Villa to find Zhu Hongye, and let him stay in Yunxiao Villa and not return home.
He knew that Cai Li wanted to wipe them all out, and then take over everything from the Zhu family. If Zhu Hongye returned to the mansion without knowing it, he would be killed. They couldn't all die in the hands of Cai Li.
However, what awaited them was not a dead end, but a prison.
Xing Kai, the commander of the garrison, went to the city today to deal with something. He happened to pass by the gate of the Cai Mansion with his lieutenant general and a few soldiers. Get someone to report to the officer.
How dare the yamen refuse to accept the dignified commander of the garrison to report to the yamen?After knowing the reason, in order to prevent Xing Kai's anger from being appeased, he immediately ordered people to arrest the troublemakers in Zhu's family and the crazy people in Cai's house, and sent them all to prison. Even so, Xing Kai still stood After scolding in the yamen for a long time, he left.
And he and Tan Shiguan went out to see Dai Jing.
In the past few days, Cai Li was busy annexing the Zhu Mansion and had no time to manage the backyard.Dai Jing took the opportunity to unite with many sisters to fight against the enemy, and each secretly gave a blood book, all of which were handed over to Dai Jing.
Dai Jing left the mansion today and handed all these over to Xiao Jumao and the others.Of course, this alone is not enough, Cai Li's crimes are too numerous to write down, and these blood books can't do much at present, but they can add a few grades to Cai Li's crimes at an appropriate time.
That day, they heard about Mr. Fanzhi in the street market. Even a proud person like Lin Jingshu was tempted to buy the books he wrote, which shows how much influence this person has on literati and students.Tan Shiguan specially asked someone to check on this Mr. Fanzhi, and found that this person was just a teacher in a small town, and he was very young.
His surname is Li, his given name is Jian, and his style name is Congzhi.
This Xiao Jumao knows it!This Li Jian had been to the capital once before, and was invited by Lin You to live in the Lin Mansion for a few days.
If the influence of this Mr. Fanzhi can be used to expose Cai Li's crimes to the world, even if not many people believe it, it will at least cause a sensation. When the time comes, the crowd will be outraged. No matter how powerful Cai Li is, he will not be able to undo it.
As for why they didn't look for the great Confucians of the time, firstly, it was because they were investigating the case secretly, and it was not appropriate to alarm too many people;Thirdly, most of the Confucian scholars are far away from the capital, so how could they be so clear about Jiangling City?And Mr. Fanzhi is from Jiangling, so it is understandable that he knows a lot about Cai Li's evil deeds. Anyway, the people in the entire Jiangling City know it, but they dare not speak out.
It's just that they need strong evidence and Li Jian's assistance.
Cai Li hid too deeply, and the government was supporting him. For a while, it was difficult to find evidence that could really prove that Cai Li was collaborating with the enemy and treason, and smuggled the forbidden grass.
This matter can't be rushed, but it can't be rushed either. Cai Li has already reached out to the Zhu family, and the next target is probably Yunxiao Villa. They can't let Yunxiao Villa suffer any damage.
In the evening, Tan Lie brought Ji Changxuan back together, but they didn't find Zhu Qiaoqiao's trace, and their faces were ugly.
Although Jin Lan was also worried, she was even more worried about Tan Lie and their bodies, "Dinner is ready, let's all sit down and eat."
Zhu Hongye's face turned pale, his eyes showed gratitude, "My nephew, thank you, Uncle Tan."
Tan Lie waved his hand and said ashamedly: "I didn't help much, so don't worry too much, just sit down and eat."
A meal was tasteless.
Cai Li's mind has become clear, he wants to kill the Zhu family and Yunxiao Villa, control the entire Jiangling City with one hand, and turn Jiangling City into his back garden.
After returning to the house, Xiao Jumao saw the man frowning slightly, thought for a while, then patted him and wrote a few words on his palm.
Tan Shi watched him, shaking his head slowly, "No, it's too dangerous."
Xiao Jumao puffed his face, there was no way out if there was no progress, he might as well use the cat's body to go to Cai's mansion to investigate.
Tan Shiguan tightened his embrace slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "People who have taken Yincao don't care if you are a human or a cat."
Xiao Jumao's attitude is firm: I just need to be careful, this is my country, now someone is collaborating with the enemy, can't I take responsibility?
Tan Shiguan looked at him for a long time, seeing his firm eyes, he had no choice but to nod his head with difficulty, "Okay, let Dai Jing bring you into Cai's Mansion tomorrow." He said, kissing His Majesty the cat's paw, "Everything will be done in the future." Life is the most important thing."
Xiao Jumao licked his hand, I will be careful, but you also have to be careful of Cai Li targeting Yunxiao Villa.
The next day, Dai Jing took a group of servants to Tianxiang Tower to listen to books. On the way back to the mansion, she saw a cat that had lost its owner.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Cai Li walking towards him.
Cai Linian was over forty, tall and handsome, but his face showed a fierce look. He glanced at Dai Jing and Xiao Jumao in her arms, narrowed his eyes, "The city is not stable recently, so don't worry about it." out of the house."
Dai Jing smiled charmingly, "I know, the master has worked hard recently, and I will order the dining room to cook some soup later."
Cai Li didn't say a word, his fierce eyes wandered back and forth on Xiao Jumao for a moment, and asked, "Where did you get this cat?"
"I picked it up on the road. Seeing that it was pitiful, I took it back to the mansion to raise it. You won't let me out of the mansion anymore. Can't I have some fun for me? A cat can't eat your Cai mansion poorly." She said, playing with her temper, and turned her face away.
Cai Li suddenly burst out laughing, stretched out his hand to pick up Xiao Jumao, threw it to the ground, then picked up Dai Jing, strode to the bedroom, some things are not going well recently, he needs to vent his anger.
Xiao Jumao: "..." If you dare to throw me away, Cai Li, you are doomed.
He thought in his heart, but he didn't stop on his feet. He followed them all the time, and then he was locked outside the bedroom.
Without Dai Jing's guidance, he can't run around in Cai's mansion now, so he can only wait outside the door and observe the arrangement around the bedroom.
The Cai Mansion deserves to be as rich as a country, the house is so magnificently built that it almost catches up with the imperial palace.
Xiao Guo's house layout is regulated, officials and common people are of different ranks, so the setting of the house is naturally different, Cai Li is just a commoner, he has neither official title nor title, living in such a house is not afraid of ruining himself.
"Um...um...ah...uh...don't..."
Such ambiguous moans kept coming out of the bedroom, Xiao Jumao's face began to burn as he listened.
There is no shame in doing such a thing in broad daylight!
He left the door and hid around the corner until he could no longer hear him, then stopped, but suddenly he felt his body getting hot, what, what's going on? !
Among the forces in Jiangling City, the Cai Mansion in the south of the city, the Zhu Mansion in the north of the city, and Yunxiao Mountain Villa have always been well watered, but I didn't expect Cai Li to come here suddenly. This is to break the balance of power in Jiangling City. Monopoly hegemony?
In fact, after so many years of management, Cai Li has already acquired almost half of Jiangling City's property. If it weren't for the Zhu family and Yunxiao Villa in the north of the city, he might have brought the entire Jiangling City under his control.
I thought that Cai Li would be scruples about these two families and would not extend his claws to Chengbei, but he didn't expect him to start targeting them.
Fortunately, after the Zhu Mansion's birthday banquet, Cai Li was quiet for a few days and nothing happened.
Cloud Mountain Villa.
Xiao Fan got up early in the morning to practice swords with Ji Changxuan, and after breakfast, he planned to go to his room to study and practice calligraphy, when he saw Zhu Hongye running over in a sea blue suit with a bulging bun face.
"Ji Changxuan, are you free today?" He looks a little round, and the blue dress on his body looks good, but it doesn't look so eye-catching when worn on him.
Ji Changxuan was wiping his beloved sword, and glanced at him, "No, I'm going to the training ground."
"You have to go today? I'm so bored by myself." Zhu Hongye stared at him with his slender eyes open.
Ji Changxuan shook his head, and said firmly: "If my adoptive father finds out that I am lazy, I will be miserable. I said, you can't do your job every day, right? You are the eldest grandson of your family, and the burden will be on you in the future."
Zhu Hongye was silent for a while, and when Ji Changxuan put the sword into its sheath, Fang said: "You also know that I have no aptitude for martial arts since I was a child. My mother is gone. My father doesn't care about me, and my grandfather doesn't care about me. What else should I practice martial arts?"
"But you can't give up just because of this, can you?" Ji Changxuan reached out and patted his round shoulder, "You can't practice martial arts, but you can still study literature."
Zhu Hongye waved his hand away, with a displeased expression on his face, "You are going to the martial arts field, so hurry up, if you are late, your adoptive father will probably scold you, so I will play with Xiaofan."
Before leaving, Ji Changxuan specially instructed: "Don't lead Xiaofan down."
Zhu Hongye suddenly became a little angry when he heard the words, "Ji Changxuan! Am I a rotten person in your eyes!"
Ji Changxuan thought he was playing a temper tantrum, so he waved his hand and left with his sword.
Zhu Hongye had nowhere to vent his anger. He looked at Xiao Fan, who was quiet, and saw that his eyes were clear, and he looked at him without the hatred of iron and steel that other people had in his eyes. He felt slightly comforted, and stretched out his arms to embrace his thin body. shoulder, "Ji Changxuan is gone, let's play together."
Xiao Fan looked at his expression carefully, and said, "I still have to read and write."
Zhu Hongye hesitated, and finally heaved a long sigh, "Forget it, you can study as long as you study, and I will accompany you by the side." In fact, it was just that he wanted to find someone to accompany him.
Xiao Fan nodded fiercely, and brought Zhu Hongye to his room. Zhu Hongye looked around, then sat down, saw the books on his desk, and suddenly said in surprise: "You actually only learned this book? My six You will be able to when you are nine years old, right?"
Xiao Fan was a little embarrassed, "No one taught me before, I just started to learn it recently, don't laugh at me."
Zhu Hongye's face that was still a bit disappointed suddenly burst into a smile, stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of Xiao Fan's head, "How can I? Come on, let me teach you what you don't know!"
He has always been behind his peers, whether it is practicing martial arts or studying. Although he pretends not to care on the surface, he often feels uncomfortable in his heart. Now he sees Xiao Fan who is worse than him, although it is not kind , but he still couldn't help being happy, even looking at Xiao Fan was much more pleasing to the eye.
"Oh, no, this sentence is read like this, you are wrong."
"Wait, I don't understand it that way, let me tell you..."
"Your word is too ugly, even worse than me."
"Hand holding a pen is like this, oops, no, let me show you."
The white and delicate fat hand grabbed Xiao Fan's thin and thin hand, and led him to write two words on the paper. Although the writing was not beautiful, it was dignified and neat.
Xiao Fan turned to look at his eyes full of admiration, "Brother Hongye, you are really amazing!"
"That's it!" Zhu Hongye smiled, let go of him, and sat down beside him, "You continue to write, I'll watch."
Although Xiao Fan was small, he had a clear mind and asked him while writing: "Brother Hongye, are you unhappy today? Is it because of what happened that day?"
Zhu Hongye leaned on the back of the chair and glanced at him, "Write your handwriting carefully, children should not be too curious."
Xiao Fan let out an "oh", and really didn't ask any more.
Zhu Hongye waited for a long time but didn't get it, so he called him angrily, "You don't want to know why I'm unhappy?"
Xiao Fan obediently asked him: "Why are you unhappy?"
A lonely look appeared on Zhu Hongye's face, "Today is my birthday." But no one remembered it.
Xiao Fan's pen tip froze, leaving a puddle of ink on the paper. He quickly put down the pen, turned around and said seriously: "I remember it."
Zhu Hongye was amused by the serious and serious expression on his little face. His skin was very fair. Although his face was a little fleshy, it didn't look greasy at all, but rather pleasing.
Seeing him smile, Xiao Fan couldn't help being a little happy, "I mean it."
"Okay, kid, you won't be able to stay in Jiangling City for long, so what if you remember?" Zhu Hongye didn't take his words to heart, but he was still quite happy in his heart.
"When I can earn money myself, I'll buy you a gift and send it to Jiangling City." Xiao Fan secretly decided in his heart, before Brother Hongye bought so many delicious and fun things for himself, he also wanted to reciprocate. OK.
Zhu Hongye was amused by him when he heard the words, "Then you have to remember, since you already remember my birthday, what about you?"
Xiao Fan said "ah", "I don't have a birthday."
Zhu Hongye thought he was joking, "Why not? Everyone will have it, tell me quickly, or I won't give you gifts in the future."
"I really don't have one." Xiao Fan said with determination.
He really didn't know, and his adoptive mother didn't tell him, and he didn't know about such things as birthdays until he came out.
The smile on Zhu Hongye's face gradually disappeared, he stood up suddenly, stretched out his arms to hug the thin Xiao Fan, and patted his back, "So you are worse than me."
After letting go, he couldn't help but ask again: "Your foster father didn't celebrate your birthday?"
Xiao Fan was puzzled, "Father?"
"That's right, isn't Second Uncle Tan your adoptive father?"
"No, he is my second uncle."

But when Zhu Hongye heard the words, he immediately filled his mind with many tragic pictures.

Confused Zhu Hongye thought for a while and said, "Brother Hongye, let me make you a little rabbit."

"Okay!"
Zhu Hongye sat beside him, watching his fingers flying, but after a while, a naive tiger appeared in the palm of his hand, and he brought it to Zhu Hongye. Zhu Hongye held it in his palm and looked at it, "This tiger is not majestic at all."
"It's a tiger if it's not majestic." Xiao Fan made up a little rabbit as he said, it was very cute.
Before Zhu Hongye could take a closer look at the little rabbit in Xiao Fan's palm, he heard a rush of footsteps coming towards this side, "Master! Master!"
It was Zhu Yan, his personal attendant.
Zhu Hongye stuffed the big tiger into his clothes casually, stood up, saw his panicked expression, and asked, "What's wrong? He's in a panic."
"Master, it's not good, something happened in the mansion!"
Zhu Yan was crying, "Young master, my aunt is gone. The master brought some young masters to the Cai Mansion to demand someone, and they are now fighting fiercely in front of the Cai Mansion!"
"You said little aunt is missing?" Zhu Hongye immediately ran out of the mansion, "Take me to Cai's mansion quickly!"
"Master! Master!" Zhu Yan hurriedly followed Zhu Hongye who was running fast.
Xiao Fan stood up, holding the little rabbit in his hand, his eyes were a little worried, the second uncle was out of the villa because of something, so he couldn't help even if he wanted to.
Zhu Hongye ran wildly in the street. After all, he has practiced martial arts for more than ten years. Although he is not a master, his physical fitness is much stronger than the average person. In the blink of an eye, Zhu Yan will not be able to catch up with his young master.
Zhu Hongye ran to the south of the city with all his strength, and before he reached Cai's mansion, he ran into his uncle, who had some blood on his body, and the people on the road gave way and hid in their homes. It seemed that something serious happened.
When the uncle saw him, he grabbed him, "Hongye, you came just in time, I was just going to find you, don't go there first, my uncle has something important for you, you go to Yunxiao Villa immediately, don't go home, do you know!"
Zhu Hongye was very anxious, but the uncle must have his intentions for this move, even if he can't help, he can't hold back!
There were still sounds of fighting not far away from time to time, and Zhu Hongye said cruelly, "Uncle, can I ask Uncle Tan for help?" Tan Lie and Ji Changxuan are both in the martial arts training ground, and there is still time to come over to help.
Uncle shook his head, "Hongye, don't do anything, just stay at Yunxiao Villa! Go!"
Zhu Hongye didn't know what happened, but now he could only follow the orders of his elders and ran to Yunxiao Villa. As soon as he ran to the gate of Yunxiao Villa, he ran into Tan Shiguan who had just returned.
"Second Uncle Tan!" Zhu Hongye's face was full of anxiety, "Can you go and save my father and the others?"
Xiao Jumao nestled in Tan Shiguan's arms, stared at the embarrassed young man in front of him with round bright eyes, then looked up at Tan Shiguan again.
"It's all right now, the government has intervened, your father and the others went to Cai's house to make trouble without authorization, and they were locked up in prison." Tan Shiguan said without any expression on his face.
"They arrested my little aunt first, and my father and the others are just asking for someone!" Zhu Hongye was sweating anxiously, "Besides, the government has always ignored the affairs of the Jianghu, why did they lock my father and the others in this time?"
"The Cai Mansion is not really a power in Jianghu, so the government can naturally manage it." Tan Shiguan paused and said, "You come in first, they will come out soon."
Zhu Hongye nodded, as long as dad and the others are fine, it is better to be arrested by the government than to be killed by Cai Li, but, "My little aunt is missing, I want to find her."
"Your Uncle Tan has brought someone to look for it, and you will stay in the villa for a few days." After watching the words, Tan Shi walked into the mansion.
Zhu Hongye thanked him and went in with him.
Xiao Jumao looked at the worried-looking young man who was following behind him, and felt that his bad impression of him had improved a bit.
In fact, since Cai Li hadn't moved since the birthday banquet that day, they became a little suspicious.Tan Shiguan sent secret guards to monitor secretly, and then contacted Xing Kai, the commander of the Jiangnan garrison.
Zhu Qiaoqiao was taken into captivity today. The Zhu family concluded that it was Cai Liqian for two reasons. One was because of Cai Li’s arrogant words on the day of the birthday banquet, and the other was that the person who was tied up in the mansion disappeared with Zhu Qiaoqiao. Who else could Cai Li do?
So, Mr. Zhu led everyone from the Zhu family to the Cai Mansion to ask for someone. In the end, he was besieged by Cai Lijiao. Those were all crazy people who had eaten Yincao. Let the youngest son break through the siege while they are dragging Cai Li's thugs, go to Yunxiao Villa to find Zhu Hongye, and let him stay in Yunxiao Villa and not return home.
He knew that Cai Li wanted to wipe them all out, and then take over everything from the Zhu family. If Zhu Hongye returned to the mansion without knowing it, he would be killed. They couldn't all die in the hands of Cai Li.
However, what awaited them was not a dead end, but a prison.
Xing Kai, the commander of the garrison, went to the city today to deal with something. He happened to pass by the gate of the Cai Mansion with his lieutenant general and a few soldiers. Get someone to report to the officer.
How dare the yamen refuse to accept the dignified commander of the garrison to report to the yamen?After knowing the reason, in order to prevent Xing Kai's anger from being appeased, he immediately ordered people to arrest the troublemakers in Zhu's family and the crazy people in Cai's house, and sent them all to prison. Even so, Xing Kai still stood After scolding in the yamen for a long time, he left.
And he and Tan Shiguan went out to see Dai Jing.
In the past few days, Cai Li was busy annexing the Zhu Mansion and had no time to manage the backyard.Dai Jing took the opportunity to unite with many sisters to fight against the enemy, and each secretly gave a blood book, all of which were handed over to Dai Jing.
Dai Jing left the mansion today and handed all these over to Xiao Jumao and the others.Of course, this alone is not enough, Cai Li's crimes are too numerous to write down, and these blood books can't do much at present, but they can add a few grades to Cai Li's crimes at an appropriate time.
That day, they heard about Mr. Fanzhi in the street market. Even a proud person like Lin Jingshu was tempted to buy the books he wrote, which shows how much influence this person has on literati and students.Tan Shiguan specially asked someone to check on this Mr. Fanzhi, and found that this person was just a teacher in a small town, and he was very young.
His surname is Li, his given name is Jian, and his style name is Congzhi.
This Xiao Jumao knows it!This Li Jian had been to the capital once before, and was invited by Lin You to live in the Lin Mansion for a few days.
If the influence of this Mr. Fanzhi can be used to expose Cai Li's crimes to the world, even if not many people believe it, it will at least cause a sensation. When the time comes, the crowd will be outraged. No matter how powerful Cai Li is, he will not be able to undo it.
As for why they didn't look for the great Confucians of the time, firstly, it was because they were investigating the case secretly, and it was not appropriate to alarm too many people;Thirdly, most of the Confucian scholars are far away from the capital, so how could they be so clear about Jiangling City?And Mr. Fanzhi is from Jiangling, so it is understandable that he knows a lot about Cai Li's evil deeds. Anyway, the people in the entire Jiangling City know it, but they dare not speak out.
It's just that they need strong evidence and Li Jian's assistance.
Cai Li hid too deeply, and the government was supporting him. For a while, it was difficult to find evidence that could really prove that Cai Li was collaborating with the enemy and treason, and smuggled the forbidden grass.
This matter can't be rushed, but it can't be rushed either. Cai Li has already reached out to the Zhu family, and the next target is probably Yunxiao Villa. They can't let Yunxiao Villa suffer any damage.
In the evening, Tan Lie brought Ji Changxuan back together, but they didn't find Zhu Qiaoqiao's trace, and their faces were ugly.
Although Jin Lan was also worried, she was even more worried about Tan Lie and their bodies, "Dinner is ready, let's all sit down and eat."
Zhu Hongye's face turned pale, his eyes showed gratitude, "My nephew, thank you, Uncle Tan."
Tan Lie waved his hand and said ashamedly: "I didn't help much, so don't worry too much, just sit down and eat."
A meal was tasteless.
Cai Li's mind has become clear, he wants to kill the Zhu family and Yunxiao Villa, control the entire Jiangling City with one hand, and turn Jiangling City into his back garden.
After returning to the house, Xiao Jumao saw the man frowning slightly, thought for a while, then patted him and wrote a few words on his palm.
Tan Shi watched him, shaking his head slowly, "No, it's too dangerous."
Xiao Jumao puffed his face, there was no way out if there was no progress, he might as well use the cat's body to go to Cai's mansion to investigate.
Tan Shiguan tightened his embrace slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "People who have taken Yincao don't care if you are a human or a cat."
Xiao Jumao's attitude is firm: I just need to be careful, this is my country, now someone is collaborating with the enemy, can't I take responsibility?
Tan Shiguan looked at him for a long time, seeing his firm eyes, he had no choice but to nod his head with difficulty, "Okay, let Dai Jing bring you into Cai's Mansion tomorrow." He said, kissing His Majesty the cat's paw, "Everything will be done in the future." Life is the most important thing."
Xiao Jumao licked his hand, I will be careful, but you also have to be careful of Cai Li targeting Yunxiao Villa.
The next day, Dai Jing took a group of servants to Tianxiang Tower to listen to books. On the way back to the mansion, she saw a cat that had lost its owner.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Cai Li walking towards him.
Cai Linian was over forty, tall and handsome, but his face showed a fierce look. He glanced at Dai Jing and Xiao Jumao in her arms, narrowed his eyes, "The city is not stable recently, so don't worry about it." out of the house."
Dai Jing smiled charmingly, "I know, the master has worked hard recently, and I will order the dining room to cook some soup later."
Cai Li didn't say a word, his fierce eyes wandered back and forth on Xiao Jumao for a moment, and asked, "Where did you get this cat?"
"I picked it up on the road. Seeing that it was pitiful, I took it back to the mansion to raise it. You won't let me out of the mansion anymore. Can't I have some fun for me? A cat can't eat your Cai mansion poorly." She said, playing with her temper, and turned her face away.
Cai Li suddenly burst out laughing, stretched out his hand to pick up Xiao Jumao, threw it to the ground, then picked up Dai Jing, strode to the bedroom, some things are not going well recently, he needs to vent his anger.
Xiao Jumao: "..." If you dare to throw me away, Cai Li, you are doomed.
He thought in his heart, but he didn't stop on his feet. He followed them all the time, and then he was locked outside the bedroom.
Without Dai Jing's guidance, he can't run around in Cai's mansion now, so he can only wait outside the door and observe the arrangement around the bedroom.
The Cai Mansion deserves to be as rich as a country, the house is so magnificently built that it almost catches up with the imperial palace.
Xiao Guo's house layout is regulated, officials and common people are of different ranks, so the setting of the house is naturally different, Cai Li is just a commoner, he has neither official title nor title, living in such a house is not afraid of ruining himself.
"Um...um...ah...uh...don't..."
Such ambiguous moans kept coming out of the bedroom, Xiao Jumao's face began to burn as he listened.
There is no shame in doing such a thing in broad daylight!
He left the door and hid around the corner until he could no longer hear him, then stopped, but suddenly he felt his body getting hot, what, what's going on? !
