Zhu Biao heard Cai Jiu's words, but he smiled and said: "Zhu and the Ninth Young Master have never met each other, but I don't know when the Ninth Young Master saved Zhu Biao's life?"

"Young Master Zhu really thinks that you can easily hide the fact that you induced the Liangshan grass bandits to break into Yanggu County and kill Ximen Qing, both from the court and from my Cai family. Although Ximen Qing is an ant-like person, he is

You are a sibling of my fourth brother. If you hadn't covered up for you in front of your father when you returned to Beijing last year, your father would have sent someone to question you." Cai Jiu took a sip of tea and said slowly.

When Zhu Biao heard this, his heart sank. Although Wu Zhi reported the incident in Yanggu County to the court on the grounds that Ximen Qing colluded with the Liangshan grass bandits in an attempt to assassinate the imperial officials, Zhu Biao, Wen Huanzhang and others did not relax their vigilance afterwards.

A plan was formulated to deal with Cai Jing's pursuit.

At the same time, Yan Qing was asked to keep inquiring about the news in Bianliang. However, neither the DPRK nor Prime Minister Cai's Mansion had any news, as if the incident in Yanggu County had never happened. Zhu Biao had not thought about it before.

I can't figure out where the joint is, and I never thought it was the reason.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Biao raised his head and said to Cai Jiu: "Ninth Young Master mentioned this matter to a certain person today. Do you want to repay a favor?"

Cai Jiu shook his head and said: "It's not about repaying a favor, it's about being courteous to others and asking for what is necessary. I wish you, Third Master, do you know why Cai Jiu took the position of the third-rank Jiangzhou magistrate at such a young age? Even my most senior position

The fourth brother who is loved by my father is now just a fourth-grade Huiyou Pavilion candidate."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he shook his head. He didn't know what Cai Jiu wanted to express, so he heard Cai Jiu say: "Although my Cai family is a prominent member of the dynasty, and my father is a high-ranking official, my father is old.

Gao, the future and destiny of the children of my Cai family are all in the hands of my eldest brother Cai You. Cai You relies on the favor of the official family and even his father does not take him seriously. My position as the magistrate of Jiangzhou is exactly the same as that of Cai You.

As a result of the compromise, I promised not to inherit anything from the Cai family in the future, so he arranged for me to leave the capital and become the prefect of Jiangzhou."

"What Ninth Young Master said makes Zhu Biao even more confused about what you want to express. If you want Zhu to get involved in the feud between your brothers in the Cai family, I'm afraid you won't be able to do what you want." Zhu Biao drank lightly.

He took a sip of tea, looked up at Cai Jiu, and said in a deep voice.

Since ancient times, there have been shady things among nobles. Husbands and wives share the same bed but have different dreams, fathers and sons turn against each other, brothers cause trouble... There are countless things like this. Zhu Biao is not interested in understanding what Cai Jiu said.

The Cai family is dirty and doesn't want to get involved.

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Cai Jiu's expression froze. He leaned forward slightly and said in a deep voice, "I wish you, Third Young Master, please don't refuse in a hurry. Cai hasn't said what I want you to ask for yet. Can I explain it more clearly?"

After Cai Jiu finished speaking, Zhu Biao held the teacup and looked around. Behind the layers of curtains in the cabin, more than a dozen figures appeared faintly. The sun shone through the window lattice in the golden cabin, reflecting bits of sharp cold light.

.

Hongmen Banquet!!! Leaning his back on the chair, Zhu Biao smiled mockingly at Cai Jiu and said playfully: "It seems that Zhu will not be able to do it if he doesn't listen."

Cai Jiu waved his hand casually, and the figure behind the curtain quickly disappeared. He smiled at Zhu Biao and said, "I wish you, Third Young Master, don't mind. Cai is a timid person and is used to bringing a few guards with him wherever he goes.

But I didn’t mean to target you.”

"Young Master Ninth, please tell me what Yin Bai wants to ask Zhu to do." Zhu Biao had no intention of getting involved with Cai Jiu, and only said with a faint look in his eyes.

Hearing these words, Cai Jiu's expression changed, and the pleasant demeanor he had just moments ago no longer existed, and a domineering aura emerged from him. He stared at Zhu Biao and said word by word: "I want you to be here in the future. When you are able, kill Cai You for me."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he was shocked. He raised his eyes and looked directly at Cai Jiu. He sneered and said playfully: "Nine masters, Cai You is not only your eldest brother, but also the eldest son of Prime Minister Cai. He is also a second-rank official of the imperial court. , deeply favored by the officials, living as a bachelor in the Xuanhe Palace, and leading the Huaikang Army as an envoy, the Ninth Young Master will not think that just because you say a few nice words for me in front of Prime Minister Cai, you can kill him, right?"

"I wish you, Third Young Master, to hear Mr. Cai's price first!"

The corner of Cai Jiu's mouth raised slightly, and then he said: "Last year, Wu Zhi, the magistrate of Yanggu County, escorted my second uncle back to his hometown. He passed by Jiangzhou once, and someone talked to him about you. He spoke highly of Mr. Zhu San. Later, I sent someone to Shandong to investigate you in detail."

"What did the Ninth Young Master find out?" Zhu Biao smiled and said to Cai Jiu.

Cai Jiu shook his head and said meaningfully: "A certain person sent to Shandong was very capable, but when he came back he said that he had not found any useful information. He told Cai two possibilities, either Zhu Sangongzi and Dulonggang Zhen Either it is clean, or the entire Dongping Mansion has been managed by you in such a monolithic manner that water cannot be poured through it and needles cannot be inserted; of these two possibilities, which one do you think Mr. Cai would believe?"

"Then it depends on which Mr. Jiu is willing to believe." Zhu Biao's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and a flash of killing intent emerged in his heart. He looked straight at Cai Jiu and said in a low voice.

"Hahaha~~~" Cai Jiu suddenly laughed loudly and said to Zhu Biao: "Sure enough, Cai guessed it. Mr. Zhu has a big plot. You don't have to worry. Cai Jiu doesn't care much about the Song Dynasty. I am loyal and will not report to you; no matter how earth-shattering things Mr. Zhu is going to do in the future, as long as you kill Cai You for someone, after your father dies, everything in the Cai family will be used for you."

Zhu Biao looked at Cai Jiu in front of him, looking at his wanton and crazy look at the moment, frowning slightly, and asked: "Zhu Biao really doesn't know why the ninth master insists on killing his eldest brother, even though Cai You suppressed it You don’t hate him so much, right?”

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Cai Jiu seemed to be reminded of some bad memories. Heavy grief flashed across his eyes, and his brows were filled with overwhelming hatred. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and face Zhu Biao. Biao said in a deep voice.

"I cannot tell you the specific reason why I want to kill him. As long as you help me kill Cai You in the future, I will be a rebel and tie the Cai family to your carriage."

After saying this, the cabin became strangely quiet. Zhu Biao remained silent, quickly calculating the serious relationship in his mind. After a while, he picked up the tea cup in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, and stood up. Said to Cai Jiu.

"Zhu Biao will remember what Ninth Young Master said."
