The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter 63 Cai Jiu

'Ask Dongming about the wine, where does the tide come from? Groups of boats watch the wind and welcome the dance like a dragon fighting, rushing like rain and hail, come to know the eternal letter, and see that the rivers and waves are invincible. The power of Qianjiang tide

Today is August [-]th, the best day to watch the tide in Qiantang. From Miaozitou to Liuhe Pagoda, the riverside stretches for more than [-] miles, covered with colorful sheds and curtains specially tied up for tide watching. I can't find a free place to sit down. Watching the tide has become an organized, large-scale, and indispensable folk conscious recreational activity for the whole city of Hangzhou.

Sitting in the colorful shed, Zhao Tun looked far into the distance, toward Haimen, a silver thread-like tide stretched far into the sky, like ten thousand white horses galloping towards the clouds. The army and tigers are galloping, the silver waves can fertilize the sun, the snow waves can swallow the sky, and rush towards people quickly.

"It's so imposing, it's so spectacular." Looking at the head of the tide like a [-]-meter-high 'cliff' pushing forward with a roar like thunder, Zhao Tang couldn't help applauding and was extremely excited.

"That's right, the first time I saw this big tide was many years ago. I'm really ashamed. At that time, my legs and feet were so weak that I couldn't move for a long time, but I was not as calm as the prince." Cai Jun, the prefect of Hangzhou, helped Zhao Tian to sit down. , politely peeled an orange and handed it to him, saying

"Brother Cai, you're welcome." Zhao Tang nodded and took the orange, tore off a piece and put it in his mouth. He said in his heart that this kid has really inherited Lao Cai's good DNA. A good son of a traitor

This Cai Yun is Cai Jing's son, ranking ninth among their brothers in this generation. Everyone calls him Cai Jiu, a boy with a good brain and a clever person. He looks very much like Lao Cai when he was young. It is not ruled out that his father is operating in it. He worked in Shang Province for a few years and got "good reviews" from his superiors. He was parachuted to Hangzhou as the magistrate when he was just [-] years old. This is equivalent to a high-ranking cadre at the city level. In the past, this kind of big state capital was served by an important minister who had been a prime minister. It can be said that he was promoted exceptionally. Hangzhou Prefecture is Cai Jing’s hometown. He returned here to retire several times when he was dismissed from the prime minister. Let Cai Jiu be the magistrate. The last line of defense, Lao Cai is thinking about returning to retirement in the future, and there are people around to take care of him

When others go back to their hometowns to become officials, they only want to benefit the village, thinking that once something happens, they can go home and seek shelter from relatives and clansmen. This is what tyrants like Saddam and Gaddafi do. Good welfare, the repair is better than that of the capital, and I use it as my base, that is, when Lao Cai did not make a fortune, he just reached the deputy director level, and he built seawalls several times in his hometown. But this kid Cai Jiu doesn’t think so. Playing the game of carrying a mouse and carrying a gun-Wow Liheng, I took all the skills I learned in the capital back to my hometown and practiced them again. When the villagers mentioned Cai Jiu, they all raised their middle fingers

"This Wu Zixu is full of temper. Thousands of years have passed, and he can still stir up such a big storm." Zhao Xin said as he watched the raging waves lapping on the shore.

"Hehe, it's all about ghosts and gods. How can anyone in the world have such power to move mountains and seas? Let alone a dead person. Wu Zixu's tidal wave is just everyone's love for the loyal and righteous, and it is not fair for him to die. That's all," Zhao Teng said with a smile.

"Yes, my lord has a good opinion, they are all fooling the people and playing ghosts, and they make trouble by this." Cai Jiumei smiled and brought a cup of tea for the lord to rinse, "Look, lord, those tides are flying in the water, if there are ghosts and gods, they would have been taken away long ago." go"

Zhao Tong looked in the direction of Cai Jiu's finger, and saw hundreds of people on the tide, all of them with disheveled hair, they rushed up with the overwhelming, fast and fierce tide, the bigger the tide, the more they enjoyed themselves For a while, they use their hands or feet to step on the water, walk through the monstrous waves, hold large or small flags, and sometimes hold red and green cool umbrellas with their feet, floating on the tide surface. Using it together, holding five small flags to float the tide and teasing its speed, its strength, courage, and thrill are better than surfing in the modern world with bare-handed pedals

"Prefect Cai, this is very dangerous. Why didn't the government stop it?" Zhao Tun asked in surprise. In modern society, the tide is observed every year, and every year the government dispatches personnel to cordon off people in dangerous areas, but even so There are also frequent reports of deaths.

"My lord, in the past every year at this time, we would also send out manpower to prohibit the tide. Isn't the lord here this year? Thinking that there is nothing worthy of the lord's appreciation in our small place, we let it go, and let these little people and the lord Have fun together," Cai Jiu explained with a smile

"Wouldn't it be a disaster if there was an accident, and please ask Cai Zhifu to let them go ashore." Zhao Tang held back his breath and said, this Cai Jiu is really strong, in order to win his own smile, he is not hesitating his life and letting those tide boys take risks

"Yes, yes, what the lord said is that the next official ordered someone to bring them back immediately." Cai Jiu curled her lips and said, thinking that I let them go into the water to make you happy, but you pretended to be serious. You are really biting Lu Dongbin and don't know good people. Nine stomachs slandered or ordered people to go to the embankment to recruit people ashore

The spectacular tide quickly disappeared from sight. Zhao Tun and Cai Jiu went home. After arriving in Hangzhou, Cai Jiu arranged Zhao Tun in his own manor in Phoenix Mountain. From this point of view, he was more hospitable than that kid Zhu Yu. , after he came, Cai Jiu also went back to live in the manor, serving tea and water very attentively, which made Zhao Tun very embarrassed, and even attacked him when he was in trouble, very distressed

In the past, Cai Jiu would go in and out with the lord every time he went out, but today the lord took his kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, which made him very upset, and the two parted ways when they reached a fork in the road, one went back to the government office, and the other went to the West Lake to look for the white lady , Tasting West Lake Vinegar Fish

"Cai Hu was killed." Zhao Tuo sat down in the restaurant. After tasting Longjing, the vinegar fish hadn't been served yet. As soon as he talked about the drizzle, Xu Xian opened his umbrella to cover the white lady from the rain. Suddenly a man ran up and shouted loudly

"Who is Cai Hu?" Zhao Tun asked curiously as he watched the people rushing to tell each other

"The guest officer is from another place, and Cai Hu is Cai Jiu, the prefect of this state, the son of Prime Minister Cai," Xiaoer said quickly.

"What?" Zhao Tang was startled, a little disbelieving, he and Cai Jiu broke up within half an hour, how could he be killed?

"Yes, it has spread all over the city now. Just when he arrived at the gate of the government office, a righteous man suddenly stepped forward and stabbed Cai Hu a few times." Xiaoer was still showing off, but suddenly found that the ten people who were scattered around Many people drew out their knives, surrounded them, and immediately stopped talking

"My lord, my lord, what should I do?" Seeing the lord in a daze, Huang Jingchen shook him and asked

"Immediately go to the government office and check the situation." At this moment, Zhao Tong was in no mood at all. He just wanted to know whether Cai Jiu was dead or alive. His mind was running fast, analyzing possible situations. When he broke up, he was assassinated. Was it accidental, did he come for himself, or did he want to plant the blame on himself?

"My lord, the matter is not yet clear, why don't you wait a little longer, let's check the situation first?" Huang Jingchen stopped the lord and said

"No, Cai Jiu was assassinated, both public and private." Zhao Tong waved his hand and refused. Now that the magistrate is assassinated, it is also a day of high tide, the city has a large population, and the news is spreading fast. He is worried that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble

"If you want to live for a long time, don't talk nonsense." Zhao Xin threw a piece of silver to Xiao Er, glared at him and said, then turned around and followed the prince to go downstairs

"My mother, my lord, this is 'Yan Wangye'" Xiaoer exhaled in surprise when he saw a group of people downstairs surrounded by the talking and laughing young man riding away just now, feeling like he had narrowly escaped death, but how could he It is also impossible to connect the legendary prince with blue face and fangs with this handsome boy

Before Zhao Tun and the others arrived, they saw countless people who had received the news gathered around the gate of the government office, and the government soldiers had already arrived. He didn't care about driving away the crowd, and ordered the guards to come forward on horseback. The crowd squeezed out a way to the front of the government office, the ground was in a mess, throwing the magistrate's ceremonial guards and weapons, and puddles of blood, the government servants formed a circle to prevent people from approaching, Zhao Xin and the others were nervous. Surround the prince in the middle, the situation is unclear now, who knows if the assassin is just this one, or there are accomplices, there are so many people now, it is impossible to distinguish clearly for a while

"How is the prefect of Cai, have the assassins been caught?" Zhao Tuo came to the front of the mansion's yamen with his identity cleared, and before the yamen servants could ask, he pulled someone over and asked

"My lord, Cai Zhifu is in the process of treating the assassin, and the assassin has been captured," the yamen servant hurriedly reported back.

Zhao Tang stopped talking nonsense and led the people into the gate of the mansion. The hall of the mansion is now an ambulance station. More than a dozen officers and soldiers of the mansion are grinning and humming. Several doctors are busy bandaging their wounds. There were three or four lying on the side, their faces were covered with clothes indiscriminately, they were probably killed in battle

A subordinate official saw the prince coming, and led him to the side hall. A group of people were busy working around a person, so it was definitely Cai Jiu. Zhao Tuo leaned over and took a look, and knew that this kid was hopeless, an assassin. He was stabbed several times, and the most severe one was stabbed in his neck, which probably injured the carotid artery. With the current medical conditions, blood transfusion and vascular anastomosis are not possible, so he will not last long. time
