Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

Sang Sanniang got the news later.

Zhuangzhu Cai from the other courtyard disappeared, and more importantly, the batch of Jingyangchun also disappeared.

"The one who did it was the Imperial City Secretary, and there were a lot of people. The leader was tall and had two swords on his back."

The Imperial City Secretary did not deliberately hide his identity this time, and many dealers recognized the iconic black clothes of the black-clothed chazi.This is why no one dares to act rashly.

Sang Sanniang gasped, she was no stranger to Huang Chengsi.

The Imperial City Secretary can command so many chazi in black clothes, but only one person can use two swords.

Commander Wu Songwu acts as an acting officer.

Ximen Qing's sworn brother!

Sang Sanniang asked Cai Zhuangzhu's wife to go back first, waiting for Cai You's news.

"Since my master is not here right now, there must be someone in charge in Biezhuang, and my slave family will take care of my master first."

The woman kowtowed and said something very calmly.

This cannot be said to be a request, but more like a declaration.

Although at this juncture, it should not be the woman's turn to be the director, and Sang Sanniang actually has no control over the affairs of the other courtyard; but the woman did not go to find Cai You's other wives and concubines, but came to look for Sang Sanniang. The stories inside are a bit intriguing.

After saying this, the woman raised her head, her eyes full of trust and expectation.

Sang Sanniang seemed to understand her eyes, and didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.

The woman backed away gently, and Sang Sanniang looked at her back and couldn't help feeling a little emotional in her heart.

This is another one that I can't bear to say on weekdays!

Cai You didn't come to Sang Sanniang's place until it was time to light the lamps. After hearing the news, he was so angry that his hands trembled.

"I have put so much thought into it, and the officials are full of praise for Baihua Niang. Why is the Imperial City Secretary so bold that he dares to fight openly and become a strongman!" Cai You was furious, and it took a while to calm down: " However, what the Imperial City Secretary did is in my hands, and when I enter the palace tomorrow, I will first sue the officials!"

Sang Sanniang said: "Master, won't you go to the head of the Kaifeng mansion to sue the imperial court for breaking the law?"

"What are you saving, woman!" Cai You scolded with a sneer, "How dare the Kaifeng Mansion provoke the Imperial City Secretary? Now that the Imperial City Secretary is not under the Taicha, even the Yushitai is useless. This kind of thing never It’s better to suppress it from above if it’s going up below! Huangchengsi is just a dog raised by the government! Now that it’s become a vicious dog, it’s natural for the government to come forward and suppress it!”

Sang Sanniang ate Cai You and drank it, but she didn't dare to reply; Cai You asked after a while, "How many prepared Baihua brews are there in Baihualou?"

"There are about two or three hundred altars, and it only takes a few days to send them out." Sang Sanniang thought for a while and replied: "Now that Jingyangchun is gone, what should I do?"

Cai You didn't hesitate to think: "Then what else can we do? The sale is limited to [-] altars every day! As long as the official orders, the Imperial City Secretary will spit out that batch of Jingyangchun, and seven or eight days will be enough."

Sang Sanniang agreed, and Cai You frowned again: "How did the Secretary of the Imperial City know that I kept Jingyangchun in another courtyard? Besides, there are many other courtyards outside my city, so how can I find it so accurately? I need to investigate this matter." , Anyone who leaks the wind will be dealt with!"

The "processing" in Cai You's mouth naturally refers to making people disappear from this world.

"My family will do it immediately!" Sang Sanniang said.

"One hundred thousand guan, this is one hundred thousand guan!" Cai You wandered around the room, for a hundred thousand guan of the size of Baihualou, although it would not stop the operation of the entire Baihualou, it would be equivalent to being beheaded by life. One hand made Cai You feel distressed.

...

...

"What? The Holy Majesty is not here?"

The next day Cai You rushed to the forbidden area, but unexpectedly he was shut down.

"The bachelor is not an outsider, so we might as well open the skylight and speak out." The official of the Huangmen said: "The Holy Majesty ordered to go to Ma Xing Street after the court was over."

Cai You also knew that Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji would only go to one place on Ma Xing Street, which was Li's prostitute house, but it was not easy to bother, because if the officials were disturbed, the matter would not be able to be done.

"My father-in-law is an open-minded person." Cai You calmly pushed Zhang Jiaozi over: "Please also tell the Holy Majesty that I have prepared a discounted new play here, and please the Holy Majesty appreciate it."

The Huangmen official also took it and put it in his sleeve without changing his expression: "Master, you are polite, just follow your orders, how dare our family refuse to obey?"

Cai You didn't exchange pleasantries, and went on his own.

The officials of the Yellow Gate got the benefits, so naturally they had to work hard. When the Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji came back, he looked for an opportunity to talk about it;

Cai You got the oral order, full of confidence, and prepared a new play all night, and didn't even go to Baihualou Sang Sanniang.

When the court was over on the second day, the official of the Huangmen came to look for Cai You, and he was ready to wait for the Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji to come to watch the new play.

Cai You painted his face with oil paint, changed into his clothes, and went on the stage looking forward to seeing more than a dozen officials from the yellow gate surrounded by the official house, coming from a distance; Cai You was overjoyed and hurried down to greet him.

When Zhao Ji saw Cai You, he said, "Is there a name for today's new play?"

Cai You said: "This is a new play. Your Majesty is here. How dare you specialize in it? After the Majesty has seen the new play, he will give it a title."

Zhao Ji was overjoyed, so he ordered Cai You to start immediately; Cai You got the order to go, Zhao Ji sat down in front of the stage, and immediately listened to the sound of gongs and drums, Cai You came on stage, worked hard and performed a new play.

When Zhao Ji watched it, what he was telling was the story of Lu Dongbin's Three Plays of White Peony; this story has been widely spread among the people, but how did Zhao Ji have the opportunity to know it?

For the sake of being the Secretary of the Imperial City, Cai You first had to work hard to make Zhao Ji happy; it turned out that one person played the two roles of Lu Dongbin and Bai Mudan, and they appeared on stage in turn. .

The curtain closed half an hour later, Cai You came out to express his thanks, and bowed to ask Zhao Ji for his title.

Lu Dongbin in this play was originally a god who attained the Tao, but when he saw Bai Mudan in the mortal world, he moved his heart, concealed his identity as a fairy, turned into a bachelor in white clothes, and tried every means to marry Bai Mudan.

Cai You played the story of Lu Dongbin's Three Plays of White Peony. The Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji watched it but remembered the matter between himself and Li Shishi. There are some things in common. Knowing that Cai You compared himself to a fairy like Lu Dongbin, he couldn't help being chronically happy.

"In my opinion, this Chunyangzi is an immortal, but for the sake of Bai Mudan, a commoner girl, she doesn't even have to be an immortal." Zhao Ji laughed and said, "Then call it Sifan."

Zhao Ji was half joking, but Cai You solemnly saluted and thanked her.

"This play is exactly what I want, what reward do you want from the Qing family, just tell me!"

Zhao Ji's mood was so good that it couldn't be better, and that's what Cai You waited for.

"My lord! I don't need rewards, I just ask my lord to uphold justice!"

"What exactly is the Qing family asking for, why not tell me!" Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji was greatly surprised: "I will uphold justice myself!"

Before Cai You had time to speak, snot and tears flowed all over the place: "The Imperial City Secretary is misconducted, and he is a strong man; he broke into the other courtyard of my minister the night before and ransacked all the flowers and wines that I have stored! I dare not Go to the Kaifeng mansion to sue, but please send an order from the sage to strictly investigate the Imperial City Secretary and return the humble minister Baihua Niang!"

While talking, Cai You secretly observed the face of Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji frowned slightly, and shouted: "Is there such a thing?"

"The Holy Master Mingjian. Not only that, but the owner of the other courtyard, the humble minister, was also taken captive, and his whereabouts are unknown." Cai You added to the flames.

"That Baihua Niang is the fine wine you presented earlier?" Zhao Ji asked.

Cai You nodded, and said harshly again: "The Imperial City Secretary is abominable! It's fine for the humble officials to suffer some losses, but the Holy Majesty can't taste the fine wine, what can I do?"

Cai You was full of confidence. As soon as this remark came out, Zhao Ji was bound to be furious, and ordered the Imperial City Secretary to investigate the matter; but after bowing and waiting for a long time, Zhao Ji did not speak.Cai You couldn't help but take a peek, and saw that Zhao Ji's face was full of gloom, obviously really angry!

"Okay! Let's see how the Imperial City Secretary got away with this time! Jingyangchun's name will eventually be erased by me!"

Cai You was secretly happy, but still kept a mournful face.

"Cai Qing's family." Zhao Ji said suddenly, "I heard something when I was outside, but I don't know if it's true or not. Cai Qing's family can tell the difference for me."

Seeing that the official suddenly changed the subject, Cai You was secretly taken aback, but then thought about it, did the official hear something about the misconduct of the Imperial City Secretary when he was outside?

"Your Majesty, just tell me." Cai You clasped his hands in response.

Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji stared at Cai You for a long time before he asked, "Qing family, I heard that the Baihua wine you offered was made with Jingyangchun and honey. Is there such a thing?"

As soon as Zhao Ji's words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, Cai You's heart sank, his thoughts turned quickly, thinking about how to answer this question.

This question may seem simple, but it is not.

If Cai You affirmed this, then he presented Baihualou wine earlier, claiming that it was made by Baihualou, which would be a great crime of deceiving the emperor.

If Cai You categorically denies it, Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji will immediately summon the brewing craftsmen in the palace to determine whether Baihua Niang was brewed by Jingyang Chun, and Cai You will still be a crime of deceiving the emperor that cannot be escaped.

Cai You thought about it, with cold sweat running down his back, where could the officials hear the news?Naturally, it was from Li Shishi on Maxing Street. As the saying goes, the pillow wind is the most powerful. Li Shishi opened his mouth and said, Zhao Ji has already believed it, otherwise he would not suddenly open his mouth to blame himself!

Cai You can only do one thing.

With a "plop", Cai You's knees gave way, and he fell to his knees, trembling on the ground, how dare he say a word?

Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji didn't say much anymore, he took a cold look at the trembling body, stood up, and walked outside first.

Huang Menguan hurriedly followed, and passed by Cai You.

Cai You didn't dare to get up until there was no movement. The oil paint on his face was already soaked with sweat, turning into a big painted face.

For the first time, Cai You felt Ximen Qing's unfathomable.

This opponent is not something he can afford!

Only then did Cai You understand why Gao Qiu and Liang Shicheng wanted to encourage him!
