Chapter 671 Jingzhou Mansion

Cai Wenlong is not worried about the second point at all. The two major navy generals, Longhu and Tiger, who are leading the troops outside are the real generals of the Cai family. If he regains the position of Patriarch, he is not afraid that they will rebel.

Moreover, with the restraint of my Jiangdong navy, they will have very few forces to rescue them, so there is actually little connection between the inside and outside of the city.

Back then when Cai Xiaoqi was forced to abdicate, the two great naval forces outside the city, the dragon and the tiger, were ignored.Those generals only care about fighting, obeying the Patriarch's orders, and don't care about anything else.

Therefore, the biggest problem before me is how to open the gate of the palace once the time is right.

Maybe we can only wait until we see Cai Dongsheng and his son, and then we can think of a way to crack it when we arrive in Jingzhou Mansion.

Three days later, Zhang Yaowu came to Xiuchun Tower. He has always been very active in making money, but he was a day late, which shows that things did not go as smoothly as I thought.

"Brother Zhang, things are getting a little closer, I can take you to Jingzhou Mansion." Zhang Yaowu said excitedly.

Cai Dongsheng is very interested in making money and being able to get real estate in Yinsi, but after all, the Cai family is his country now, and he has to treat it with caution. In the past three days, they asked Jiangbei and Jiangdong spies to investigate deliberately. Zhang Wang's identity.

There is no doubt that with Bai Chaoyang's arrangements, they can't find out anything, so Cai Dongsheng decided to meet me and kill me fiercely.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. This is a money ticket for you. If it wasn't for your hard work, how could I have the opportunity to meet the Patriarch and the Great Elder." I laughed dryly and handed the 50 taels of money to Zhang Yaowu.

Zhang Yaowu's eyes lit up, "Datong money tickets can also be circulated in the underworld, haha, Brother Zhang is really a refreshing person."

I laughed secretly in my heart, the first thing I want when there is an incident is your dog's life, then not only your wealth, but also the entire Water God City will be mine.

Zhang Yaowu was very quick in handling things and didn't talk nonsense, so he took me, Li Hu, and Deng Long to Jingzhou Mansion that night.

In front of Jingzhou Mansion, the water flowing in the moat was like boiling water, rolling around, extremely frightening, vaguely as if hiding a fierce beast, exuding an extremely disturbing and dangerous feeling.

We walked through the main entrance, which is a large pontoon bridge. Once there is a war, it can be retracted from the approach bridge in the city, and the moat can be used to defend against the enemy.

I pretended to be scared on purpose, pointed to the monster statue of the moat and said, "This water is so frightening, it looks like there are thousands of demons hiding in it."

Zhang Yaowu laughed loudly and said: "Brother Zhang, don't be afraid. There are only spirit beasts guarding the city. They are surrounded by the water god's spell. If there is no war, they will not harm living beings."

Speaking of this, he lightly stroked the silk sash around his ears, and said with a loud smile: "To be honest, this moat is 33 feet wide and 33 feet deep. The number of ninety-nine is taken. If anyone falls, it will be a disaster." Be devoured by beasts, or consume flesh and bones for boiling water, it will never survive.”

I saw the self-confidence he said, and guessed that it was probably true. This is not a moat, it is clearly a river of death. From this, we can also see that the ancestor of the water god of the Cai family really has the ability to reach the sky. His cultivation base is not below that of Penglai Immortal.

Normally, the gate in front of the Jingzhou mansion is closed, but the pontoon bridge is not closed. Cai Ba's men and horses are strictly guarding under the city wall, and no one dares to enter without permission.

"Shut up!"

A scarlet horse galloped out of the hole in the city wall, and sitting on it was a burly general with a short beard and a mace in his hand. He had thick eyebrows, leopard eyes, an upturned nose, and a big gaping mouth. He looked fierce. Like an evil ghost, with a burly figure like a pagoda, compared to Mobei Tuoba Kuang, he is more powerful and vicious.

As soon as this murderous man arrived, all the surrounding horses raised their hooves in shock, their aura was very powerful.

"Master Zhang, who is this you brought?" Immediately, the general pointed his mace at Zhang Yaowu and shouted awe-inspiringly. The mace almost stabbed Zhang Yaowu's nose, as if he didn't pay attention to him at all.

Zhang Yaowu's complexion darkened, he raised the token in his hand, and said solemnly: "Cai Ba, don't be presumptuous. I have obeyed the order of the elder and the head of the family, and I specially invite merchants to enter the city. Please let them go quickly."

It turns out that this murderous man is Cai Ba, Cai Ba is Cai Dongsheng's youngest son, born with mighty power and boundless strength, he is the number one expert in Jingzhou Mansion.

Logically speaking, Cai Ba should call Zhang Yaowu brother-in-law, but judging from the attitude between them, it seems that they are not very friendly.I realized that this was probably another good opportunity to take advantage of, as long as I found out why they were fighting each other, I could find a way to take advantage of it.

"Where is the Patriarch's order?" Cai Ba asked with a sneer as he dismissed his father Cai Dongsheng's order.

Zhang Yaowu was trembling with anger, took out another token from his waist, and threw it at Cai Ba fiercely, "Cai Ba, you can see clearly, this is a distinguished guest invited by Cai Hua, it frightened the guests , you are fully responsible."

Cai Ba sneered, and took a look at the token with one hand, "Since it is the Patriarch's intention, then go in and let it go."

Zhang Yaowu gave Cai Ba a hard look, and led the three of us into the city.He is a person who really cares about face, Cai Ba is naturally annoyed when he doesn't give him face so much, and he is extremely unhappy in his heart.

The Jingzhou mansion is like a fairy mansion in the forest, surrounded by flowers, plants and trees. All kinds of rockery and ancient buildings are scattered among the mountains and forests. The streams, lakes, promenades are picturesque, and the pavilions are like umbrellas.

Due to the mountains in the south and the special garden pattern in the south of the Yangtze River, although the layout here is elegant and moving, it seems a bit chaotic. The connectivity between the streets is extremely poor, and most of the Cai family clan are scattered in every corner of Jingzhou Prefecture.

The mansion of the Patriarch of Jingzhou Mansion is named aggressively: "Shenfu".

The Shenfu is a separate compound surrounded by high walls, perhaps because of the moat in front of the Jingzhou Mansion, the Shenfu’s defense is extremely poor, unlike other royal cities that have all kinds of lightning balls and other Taoist weapons to guard the main mansion .

Apart from the fact that the Shenfu is several times larger than other mansions, from the layout point of view, there is hardly any other difference.

The previous head of the Cai family didn’t pay much attention to ostentation, especially when Cai Xiaoqi’s father was in power with her, he deliberately kept it simple and simple, so the shrine was not luxurious, and now it’s expanded after Cai Dongsheng and his son usurped power. thing.

At the gate of the Palace Master, the guards checked the token and let him go.Zhang Yaowu led the three of us straight into the room.

From time to time, you can see women playing and joking in the room, Zhang Yaowu would tease them from time to time, and the women were not annoyed.Seeing me, Li Hu seemed quite surprised, and hurriedly whispered in my ear and explained: "These are all the women of the head of the family, Cai Hua, and Cai Hua has more than thirty wives..."

When I heard it, what a guy, he is not well-known, but the Sangong Sixth Courtyard has a good look, and he really regards himself as the emperor.

Thinking about it, this Cai Hua is also a hungry ghost. If someone else had more than thirty wives, he would not be squeezed dry.No wonder these women teased Zhang Yaowu without restraint. Presumably not everyone can be favored, and most of them are just resentful wives.

"Master Zhang Yaowu is here!"

With a trombone, Zhang Yaowu led me into a luxurious hall. Two green dragons were hung on the walls on both sides of the hall with green gemstones, symbolizing the spirit in the water.

The pillars on the main hall are made of pure gold, with engraved dragon pictures, and the surrounding chairs and seats are all made of pure gold.

The whole hall is the most luxurious I have seen so far, even the wealthy Yan family can’t compare it. Of course, this is not Cai Xiaoqi’s style. I think it was built by Cai Dongsheng and his son after they came to power. No wonder there is a strange aura in this Jingzhou mansion, most likely it is also because of these people who are overjoyed, vain, and greedy.

There are a few people sitting in the main hall, all of them are important ministers of the Cai family, and most of them are also the confidantes of the Cai family, and Tuoba Kuang is also on the list. It seems that the Cai family is still very happy with me this time. important.

"Zhang Yaowu greets the elder regent and the head of the family!" Zhang Yaowu first bowed to Cai Dongsheng who was sitting under the throne and looked down at the crowd, and then paid respects to the head of the house, Cai Hua.

In Zhang Yaowu's mind, most of them looked down on Cai Hua, the puppet patriarch, and he even raised his eyes.

My eyes fell on the father and son. Cai Dongsheng was thin, with a yellow face and short beard, hooked nose, high cheekbones on both cheeks, and a thin chin. He looked sinister and cunning at first glance. He was dressed gorgeously. He wears a long robe with a counselor's hairpin on his head, but his body always seems to exude a petty air.

Looking at Cai Hua again, although his appearance is better than that of his younger brother, the fierce and ugly Cai Ba, but he also has eight eyebrows, his eyes are dim, and his face is pale and blue. .
