Chapter 503: Old and stronger

Early in the morning, the dawn was revealed. Several people were waiting at the gate of the Ministry of Justice Prison for a long time. These people were holding their horses, but they were silent. The several servants at the door seemed to have some concerns about their identities and did not dare to drive them away.

Suddenly, a panicked scream came from inside, and someone ran out hurriedly and said, "No, Wang Wenbing, the Minister of War, committed suicide due to crime. Hurry up, go and inform Dali Temple."

As soon as this person finished speaking, a few people leading horses at the door turned over without hesitation and ran towards the streets everywhere, disappearing suddenly.

Wang Wenbing was dead, and this news did not cause much trouble in the city of Bianjing. Now, who is interested in caring about his life or death? The city's attention has long turned to the good news. This good news seems to be true. It is said that all the people in the city of Bianjing breathed a sigh of relief, and they could not help but sigh, and they all said everything. Anyway, they all said confidently that they were not wrong before. Just when others thought that Lord Shen was afraid of the enemy, they stood up with the aura of a turtle, refuted the other party's point of view, and insisted that Lord Shen had a deep meaning to abandon the city.

In order to show his cleverness, his mouth suddenly reversed, and he completely forgot that he had clenched his fists to kill Shen Ao to thank the world.

There are more people in Shilin who are shameful, and there is nothing we can do about it. After all, these people are all well-known people. In order to scold Shen Ao Shao, they must leave some magic treasures. How can they deny it?

No matter what, everyone thought of Shen Ao’s goodness, saying that he was the top scholar and Wenquxing, and had thoroughly investigated Hua Shigang and had done countless good deeds. People are fickle, and today’s words are not necessarily the same as tomorrow. After all, it depends on whether Shen Ao violated their vital interests. For example, abandoning the city of Bocheng means that the Tianyi Sect will be released to the foot of Bianjing, causing the city gates to be closed, and the rich people are panicked, and ordinary people are afraid that the Tianyi Sect will destroy the city. Since the crisis has been resolved, it is nothing to say a few good things.

Not only that, the abandonment of Bocheng a few days ago caused the prices of commercial goods in Beijing to double one after another. Now that the prices in the market have recovered as before, many merchants who hoarded rice and medicinal materials have suffered a lot.

These things that ordinary people are considering are food, clothing, housing, transportation and their own safety. These things naturally cannot be seen by the big men in the court. Cai Jing got up early in the morning, rinsed his mouth and drank a bowl of ginseng soup as usual, and then went to the yard to activate his muscles and bones. By the way, there will be a close-knit manager to report yesterday's situation. Who came to pay a visit yesterday, how long did he sit, when did he leave, and what he took, all these need to be detailed. After all, Mr. Cai Jing,

The business is very busy. Ordinary people usually ask their children, nephews and grandchildren to block them. However, he is very careful about these things. Although he is old, he has a good memory. Sometimes when the head of the company came to visit someone and sent him some, Cai Jing would suddenly ask: "Is it Liu Wenlong, the official in Guanglu Temple? He is also half a disciple. It is difficult for him to visit him for more than a dozen times a year. Next time he comes, please come and sit in the hall. I will talk to him."

The meaning of this sentence is to favor Liu Wenlong. He has a good memory and will not say hello next time, so he must say hello to give others some hope.

The same is true today. The main sermon is so dry that he is almost at the end of the silence. Cai Jing suddenly stopped moving and asked someone to wipe his sweat with a warm and wet towel. He cleaned his hands in the copper basin brought by the little maid, and said, "Yesterday, the man named Zhu Wenzheng was from a Jinshi who was born in the Jinshi in the current class, right? Isn't he still a talented man in Jiangnan? Why did he fail this exam? It's better for him to come here this month, and his family is not well off. I feel ashamed of giving gifts every now and then. The Ministry of War has a shortage of a position, Fang Lingshi. Remember, when will I go for a walk for him? Taoer is going to take office at the Ministry of War. There is not many reliable people around him. Zhu Wenzheng is talented, but unfortunately his luck is a little worse, and there will be useful places."

Cai Jing wiped his hands with a dry towel and said carelessly: "Go to Taoer later and tell him that the present is different from the past. Now that he has the opportunity to do ministry, he is not allowed to be like before. He should keep the rules he should follow. Don't think that with me here, you can cover up everything for him."

The headmaster smiled and said, "Yes, the villain will go to pass the message later."

It was at this moment that a servant stopped in the distance panting and stood with his hands down. When the head met, he walked over and said a few words to the servant, then walked to Cai Jing and said, "Mr. Wang committed suicide for fear of the crime."

Cai Jing said lightly: "It's okay to die, but it's clean. Before the imperial court's decree has arrived, I immediately asked someone to feel at ease to arrange for his wife and children to move out of Bianjing, find a hidden village outside to ask them to live, and send some money every month, don't neglect it." He sighed and said in a very calm manner: "Wenbian is quite obedient, but a pity, I originally wanted him to go to the door to save money to give me some left and right hands in a few years."

The head nodded: "He knows that he is in the spring, and knows that the Grand Master is taking care of him like this, he must be grateful. But the person is dead, will Shen Ao..."

Cai Jing said calmly: "Don't ask what shouldn't be asked."

"Yes...yes...small, too much."

Cai Jing smiled: "Are you afraid that Shen Ao wants to make trouble with Wang Wenbing's death? I know Shen Ao. Don't look at him crazy and smarter than anyone else. At this time, he dare not mess with me."

The head of the company looked at Cai Jing, wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask more.

Cai Jing continued, "Do you know why? If you don't talk about anything else, this person is absolutely impossible to do things without being sure of doing things. After all, I am both the same as him. Now he is leading the army and I am in the court. Think about it, if he pushes me out and burns my boat, how likely will he win?"

Cai Jing's tone became cold: "Fortunately, he was quite sensible and knew that he would escort Wang Wenbing back immediately. This was to tell me that the matter was over and he won this time. Wang Wenbing was the one who brought him to the road. Otherwise, if he sent Wang Wenbing first, he was detained outside. When he returned to the court, he would try to overthrow me. Will I make him satisfied? He has some ability to fight, but the backyard caught fire and he could not make his achievements. This is called stopping."

The head was confused, but he understood one thing. Chen Ao was outside, and the great saints were not as powerful as the Taishi. If you want to leave a evidence of the crime in your hands, you can settle the Taishi in the future. The Taishi was forced to do something, and it would cause some trouble in the court. The final outcome was only a loss. The saying of disciples and former officials was spread all over the world is not a joke. Half of the officials in the world are the Cai Party. If you really want to fight your life, it would be a situation that will be defeated.

Cai Jing changed his court clothes, and at this time he was about to go to the court and go to the palace to meet him. He ordered: "It is good news to recover from Taoer. A few days later, and a banquet will be held, and everyone who should be invited will be invited to celebrate Taoer. I will prepare a bowl of ginseng soup for me in the evening. I have become less and less energetic these days. Drink one more cup to refresh myself."

The main person said: "Yes."

He served Cai Jing to the gatehouse, and there was still a small soft sedan chair that was not luxurious at the door. Several sedan chairmen had already stood beside the sedan chair and the head of the caring staff who took care of Cai Jing all the way. Cai Jing got into the sedan chair, raised the sedan chair and disappeared smoothly at the end of the long street.

Menxiasheng was already busy, and there was no time to classify various congratulatory statements and memorials, so they had seven or eight boxes. The past two days were so lively. The ministers who had impeached the past were all filled with praise and were not left behind at all. As for the impeachment memorials, there were also some, but the target was Wang Wenbing. Most of the news of Wang Wenbing's death had not been spread for the time being, but some people were in vain to fabricate the crime for him.

The scholars were busy. When Cai Jing came in, as usual, everyone bowed to Cai Jing and did their own things. Cai Jing just walked around the hall and went to the ear room to have tea again.

Cai Jing sat inside until noon. A record from the office in the Menxia Province came to report some key points in the memorials. Cai Jing today was different from usual and shook his hand gently and said, "No need to read it. If you don't read it, I know what memorials are. Once the limelight changes, this person will inevitably shake it. It is normal for human nature. There are many such people in the court. By the way, I also have a memorial here. You can put it in the memorials sent to the palace."

The recorder smiled and said, "As a senior teacher, he still has to write it himself, which really makes the officials ashamed. Man Bian Jing said that the Taishi's handwriting is the best. Can you let the officials pay attention to it?"

Cai Jing smiled and said, "You can speak. You obviously want to read what I wrote in my memorial, but you deliberately said to read the words. It doesn't matter."

The record was answered, and he opened the memorial and glanced quickly. His face was slightly stunned, and he pursed his lips and stopped talking. This memorial was very strange, and the whole article was full of words that boasted and arrogant. He also asked the palace to immediately examine Wang Wenbian to serve as a warning. If it is verified, please go to the heavy verdict or something.

Wang Wenbing was killed, and not many people knew about it now in the entire Bianjing city. Cai Jing handed in the memorial at this time and happened to have a time difference, indicating that he was not aware of the matter in the Ministry of Justice's prison. A small memorial was cleared of his relationship in a moment.
