Jinghong Tower

Wu Dongming and his son heard about Cai Jie's death on their way to Pingyang.

But this news did not come from spies, but from the people.

For some unexplainable reasons, while the King of Jin and the Huang family released the news of Cai Jie's death, they coincidentally obscured the cause of his death.

Therefore, everyone knows that Cai Jie died in Jinyang, and died in an outer house, but they don't know why Cai Jie died. Since he died in an outer house, and the cause of death is unknown, it must be a shady way of death. .

What Wu Dongming heard was that Cai Jie died from the wind on his horse.

Wu Dongming wanted to hide his identity and could not investigate the matter in a high-profile manner. Therefore, he suppressed a lot of questions. When he saw He Ran, he was about to ask, but then he remembered that He Ran was a young girl. Did Cai Jie die from Ma Feng? I can't say anything about it.

He Ran took the initiative to talk about the matter: "General Wu must have already known about Cai Jie's death."

Wu Dongming asked: "Did he die of illness?"

Immediate wind is also caused by illness and can be attributed to illness.

He Ran said: "He was stabbed by the old Princess Jin in the Yin'an Hall of Prince Jin's Mansion. Although the stabbing was serious, it was not fatal. He vomited blood and died a day later. The doctor did not find out the cause of death."

As for why Cai Jie was not in Fenzhou, but went all the way to Jinyang to die, He Ran didn't say anything, just pretended that he didn't know, and refused to watch the excitement and insisted on getting himself involved. Isn't that a fool?

Wu Dongming narrowed his eyes slightly: "He was stabbed by the old Princess Jin. He was not in danger of life, but he vomited blood and died. This is a bit interesting, a bit interesting."

Wu Dongming thought of the rumors about Ma Feng he had heard along the way, and frowned slightly: "Who is in charge of Fenzhou now?"

"Cai Jie's second son, Cai Fanfu, is assisted by his eldest son, Cai Fanmao." He Ran said.

Wu Dongming laughed loudly. The Cai family's wives and concubines were fighting each other, and their concubines were fighting. Cai Jie's eldest son was framed by a concubine, who lost his legs and became a cripple. This concubine was Cai Fanying's biological mother.

Now that Cai Fanying is dead and Cai Jie is dead, the happiest person is the first wife.

No wonder the cause of Cai Jie's death spread so quickly. Logically speaking, Cai Jie was a general with a large number of troops, so the news of his death would not spread so quickly. He would have to wait until the transfer of power within the Cai family was completed and everything became stable. Only then will the death news be released.

But now it seems that the power transfer of the Cai family has been completed, and the first wife is the final winner.

He Ran continued: "General Wu, don't laugh too early. The Cai brothers have been suppressed too hard by Cai Jie and Cai Fanying in recent years. Although they are in power now, their foundation is not strong and their wings are not strong. As long as they are not too stupid. , they should also know that the top priority is to make good friends with King Jin, and once Cai Jie is arrogant and rude, they must hug King Jin's thigh tightly."

Wu Dongming's face was uncertain. If he could take advantage of this moment to break into Fenzhou, it would still be a bit difficult.

He Ran left him plenty of time to think about it, but now, she had other things to do.

He Ran asked Zhou Jian to be invited out. Wu Dongming's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Jian. He had met the twenty-year-old King Zhao. He was still a child at that time, but King Zhao's nobility and grace left a lot of impression on him. deep impression.

Among Taizu's sons, King Zhao had the best appearance, and his facial features were the most similar to Taizu's.

When he was a child, he also deliberately imitated the dress of King Zhao. Not only him, but also the noble children at that time were imitating.

The Zhou Jian in front of him was like a smaller King Zhao. Although he is young, his dress is exactly the same as that of King Zhao back then, and he is equally handsome and refined.

Wu Dongming's eyes fell on the jade pendant around Zhou Jian's waist. He had seen a similar jade pendant when he was a child. That year, his father took him to Beijing. During the palace banquet, Taizu called him to his side and asked him carefully. At that time, he was so surprised and happy that he didn't dare to look at Taizu, so his eyes fell on the jade pendant around Taizu's waist.

That jade pendant looks the same as this one at first glance, except that Taizu's jade pendant is carved with a dragon, while this one is carved with a unicorn.

Kirin-patterned ornaments were mostly worn by underage princes.

Wu Dongming took a deep breath, lifted his robe and knelt down: "Your Majesty Wu Dongming, I would like to see His Highness King Zhao."

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of He Ran's lips. From this moment on, this King Xiao Zhao was stable.

Zhou Jian was a little at a loss. He subconsciously looked at He Ran. He Ran nodded slightly at him. Zhou Jian quickly stood up and helped Wu Dongming up with both hands: "Sister Gu Ting often talks about General Wu. My sister said that the Wu family has been loyal for generations. Geng Geng's great hero, I am very happy that General Wu can come to see Gu today."

Although the words of the little child were solemn, Wu Dongming could hear that they were cautious and even somewhat flattering.

Yes, please, now this child has nothing, wants money but no money, wants people but no one.

Wu Dongming saluted again: "My lord, Wu Dongming, is willing to follow His Highness!"

He Ran walked over, stood beside Wu Dongming, and also bowed: "The same goes for He Ran!"

Zhou Jian's heart was pounding. His sister and this general Wu wanted to follow him. What did this mean? Do they want him to be the emperor?

Be an emperor, who doesn't want to be an emperor? Zhou Jian has only seen the emperor on the stage.

His mind went blank until Chunwang tugged on his sleeve, and then Zhou Jian remembered what Mr. Bai had taught him before coming here.

"From now on, Gu's family and life will be entrusted to you two. Taizu and Imperial Grandfather can rest assured in heaven."

Wu Dongming stayed in Zhoujiapu for another day. During this day, he repeatedly wanted to bring up the idea of ​​taking Zhou Jian away, but the first few times he didn't have the chance to speak. Then the opportunity finally came, but Zhou Jian had already left one step ahead. Pingyang.

The reason given by He Ran: "I don't know how the news spread. Today, someone was found sneaking around Zhoujiapu. For the safety of King Zhao, I quietly moved the person. Fortunately, you and I are here to attract people." Those people’s attention.”

Wu Dongming wanted to scold his mother, and he said it in a high-sounding way. In fact, he was afraid that I would snatch King Zhao away and kick you away. This little girl is too treacherous.

But soon, Wu Dongming discovered that He Ran was more cunning and shameless than he imagined.

Because he just learned that He Ran actually has seven houses in Zhoujiapu!

And his people also found out who the original owners of these houses were and the romantic affairs of the original owners.

So He Ran used these romantic affairs to send the original owners to jail, and then she bought these houses at a low price?

Shameless, so shameless!

When he asked He Ran, He Ran said shamelessly: "General Wu, the Zhou family fort has the aura of a dragon and the feng shui is excellent. Could it be that you also want to buy a house here? It's easy. Just tell me. I What do you think about selling you a place?"
