lady, please calm down

Chapter 317 Chess is divided into three moves
At the beginning of Mao Shi, the sky breaks.

As early as more than an hour ago, the post house had been completely surrounded by the Huaibei Army, which also revealed the current situation in Caizhou City.

What happened tonight was a huge gamble, and Wu Weiguang felt that he had a [-]% chance of winning.

But since it is a bet, there is a possibility of losing.

Therefore, when the Huai suppressing army surrounded the post house, Wu Weiguang, who had already guessed the outcome, quickly calmed down after a brief panic.

When Cai Hua and the senior officials of the Huaibei Department entered the post house, Wu Wei was bald, wearing a straight-footed futou-headed official hat with two wings, and a second-grade crimson purple court dress. He was sitting on the Grand Master's chair at the top of the hall, with a solemn expression and a majestic posture.

His sister, Mrs. Wu, sat down with her son's body in her arms. Although she was not as calm as her brother, she did not look frightened, but rather a bit arrogant.

When Ximen Gong, Xu Bang and other low-ranking officials entered the hall, they were stunned by the aura of the brothers and sisters.

The first one to come in was Cai Hua, and she was the first to speak, "Master Wu is so kind. You and Sun Changhao colluded with the rebellious people from outside the palace to attack the Marquis Lu'an Mansion at night, and your intention to treason has been exposed, but you can still sit calmly." Here?"

"Ha~ Nonsense!"

Wu Weiguang snorted coldly and said coldly: "Marquis Lu An's rebellious heart is as well known to everyone as Sima Zhao's! This is a national thief. Everyone will kill him if he finds it. How can he plot rebellion if he eliminates the thief for the country?"

Now that everyone has gained the stolen goods, this old guy still looks like he is righteous, which immediately makes Ximen Gong angry, but he heard him yell and curse: "Old dog! Are you really not afraid of death?"

"Hahaha, how can I despise my life in order to eliminate thieves for my country! It's a pity that my success has failed, so I have to leave it to you whether you want to kill or behead me."

Wu Weiguang held a high position and had a prominent family background, but his aura at this time overwhelmed Ximen Gong.

"Master Wu is such a brave man." Cai Hua took over the words, swaying and sat next to Wu. She looked at Wu Weiguang and said with a squinted smile: "Master Wu has such courage, the little girl admires it. But she doesn't know that at home Do female relatives have the courage of adults? Hehe, I have heard for a long time that the daughters of the Wu family in Yingchuan are all well-educated and sensible. If Mr. Wu dies, they will lose their protection and live in the world. It is pitiful to think about it."

Wu Weiguang frowned but before he could speak, Wu took the lead and cursed: "Vicious woman, what are you going to do!"

"My Marquis is a soft-hearted person, and he hates to see beautiful women suffer the most. After Mr. Wu is gone, the slave family will find a way to take all your daughters into the Marquis Mansion, and serve my Marquis, so that they can always have something to eat. By the way, your family has How many daughters are unmarried? Even if they are married, it doesn’t matter, as long as they are beautiful, my Lord Marquis will not dislike it.”

When Cai Hua finished speaking, Wu Weiguang stood up and slapped the table. The Wu family next to him was even more furious. He raised Wu Yifan's spiritual tablet and tried to smash it on Cai Hua's head.

Baoxi, who had been standing behind Cai Hua, raised her arms to block her, and at the same time stretched out her feet to kick the chair where Wu was sitting.

The chair immediately shattered, and the powerful impact caused Wu to jump forward and fall to the ground.

"Tied up!"

Baoxi gave the order, and two soldiers immediately came forward and tied up Wu.

Wu, who had been pampered since childhood, had never been humiliated like this before. Even though her hands and feet were tied, she still kept yelling and scolding.

The words "shameless temptress, poisonous woman who doesn't want to die well" didn't make Cai Huazhou frown, until Wu cursed Cai Hua, "Sooner or later, she will be kicked out of the house when she gets tired of playing."
Cai Hua's face turned cold.

At this time, the soldiers who were responsible for guarding the outside of the post house escorted a middle-aged man with unkempt hair wearing gray servant clothes into the house.

A few people took a look and thought, oh, isn't this their old acquaintance Sun Changhao and Magistrate Sun!

After the soldiers narrated it, we found out that just now, Sun Changhao got out of the dog hole in the post house and tried to escape, but he was caught by the soldiers guarding outside.

When Cai Hua heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed, and sneered at Wu Weiguang: "I thought your family was all as tough as Mr. Wu."

Wu Weiguang stood with his hands behind his hands, glanced at Sun Changhao with contempt from top to bottom, and said, "He? He is not my family, and he is not worthy of being my family."

Below, Sun Changhao's face turned pale, but he just bowed his head and remained silent.

Cai Hua narrowed her narrow fox eyes and looked at the faces of Wu Weiguang, Wu, and Sun Changhao for a while. Suddenly she smiled, walked to Sun Changhao with a light step, and said: "Prefect Sun, I will give you instructions." There is a clear path for you, can you take it?"

"."

Sun Changhao raised his head, glanced at Cai Hua's charming face that turned all living beings upside down, and then withdrew his gaze and remained silent.

At this moment, although no one was killed in the hall, the smell of blood was strong and pungent.

Just because the soldiers who followed had been beheaded in the street, the soles of their boots were soaked in blood. They made a squeaking sound with every step they took, leaving behind a series of bloody footprints of different shades.

This scene is very scary.

Sun Changhao knew in his heart that this incident had failed and that he and Lu Anhou Mansion had become life-and-death enemies. He was afraid that his life would be on the line, so he wanted to save some dignity before his death.

Seeing that he remained silent, Cai Hua said in a seductive voice: "Prefect Sun, if you do something, I will protect you from death in front of the Marquis, and I will even let you continue to sit in the position of prefect."

Sun Changhao, who had already felt that there was no life left, could not help but raise his head, stared at Cai Hua and said, "Is what Madam said true?"

"Of course it's true! A gentleman's words are hard to follow!" Cai Hua vowed.

Suddenly seeing a glimmer of hope, Sun Changhao's thoughts of maintaining his dignity were immediately thrown out of his mind, and he asked anxiously: "What do you want me to do, madam?"

With a look from Cai Hua, Baoxi stepped forward and cut the rope that bound Sun Changhao. Cai Hua bent down to pick up the hemp rope and handed it to Sun Changhao condescendingly. The latter took it in confusion, but heard Cai Hua say: "Kill the Wu family. I will protect you from death."

"."

In the hall, everyone from the Huaibei clan looked at Cai Hua in shock as she forced her husband to kill his wife. This Cai Sanniang was too vicious.

Sun Changhao was also startled, and the hemp rope was thrown to the ground as if it was hot to his hands.

Cai Hua, with a charming smile on her face, frowned and picked up the hemp rope again. Her voice was as cold as a thousand-year cold pond, "I will help you pick it up for the last time. If you don't pick it up, the rope will be tied to you." neck"

Sun Changhao understood what he said, and it meant that if he didn't take action, he would be hanged.

Sun Changhao came down in a cold sweat and secretly glanced at Wu with fear.

Wu Weiguang, who was above, could tell at a glance that his brother-in-law might not be able to withstand the pressure in front of him, so he hurriedly said: "No harm to the family. My sister has nothing to do with tonight's incident. If you have any means, just come to me!"

Cai Hua seemed to have heard a big joke. She bent over with laughter. After catching her breath, she said, "It's not a harm to the family? So what did Mr. Wu do to sneak attack on my Hou's Mansion tonight? Could it be that he coveted the latrine of the Hou's Mansion?" Take away a few taels of night fragrance to taste the saltiness?"

In what was originally a very serious and depressing situation, Ximen Gong was stunned by Cai Hua's sarcasm, which made him laugh out loud.

But Cai Hua didn't smile at all, turned around and stared at Sun Changhao and scolded: "Are you going to do it or not?"

"." Sun Changhao wanted to say something else, but Cai Hua changed his hand and handed the hemp rope to Baoxi.

Baoxi strode forward, and no one present doubted that Baoxi would strangle Sun Changhao on the spot after taking the hemp rope, including Sun Changhao himself.

At the moment of life and death, Sun Changhao, who was kneeling on the ground, no longer cared about anything, and quickly jumped forward, grabbing the hemp rope from Cai Hua's hand before Baoxi.
Then, he turned to his wife with a mournful face and said: "Madam, even if I die, they will not let you live! If our husband and wife both die, what will happen to the children who stay in our hometown? It would be better to die two than one. Just, just, Just feel sorry for Madam once."

"How dare you, Sun Changhao!" Wu Weiguang was furious and wanted to step forward, but was restrained by two sergeants and unable to move.

Wu, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, was lying on her side, also yelling, "Sun Changhao! You are living in a broken household. If I hadn't married you without asking about your family background, how could you be where you are today? How dare you touch me?" Means, my father and brother will not let you go!"

"."

Sun Changhao grabbed the hemp rope and walked to Mrs. Wu on his knees with a sad face. Before he could speak, Mrs. Wu spat on his face with thick phlegm.

This mouthful of phlegm destroyed Sun Changhao's last defense. He knelt on the ground and stared blankly for a moment, letting the dirt flow down his face. The expression on his face gradually changed from sorrow to indifference.
Everyone in the hall, including Wu herself, watched helplessly as Sun Changhao slowly wrapped the hemp rope around Wu's neck.

In fact, despite Wu's scolding, she always thought that she was a coward who didn't dare to kill her.Until Sun Changhao suddenly pulled back, put his knees on Wu's back, and pulled back with both hands.

"Ah~"

Wu's last curse became a meaningless monosyllable due to the sudden tightening of the rope.

Sun Changhao, who was about to collapse emotionally, had a ferocious look on his face, with veins popping out on his neck. He could only hear him yelling miserably: "Scold! Still scolding! You've scolded me for half my life! Marry me? Bah, don't think I don't know who you are. Damn! Back then, you had an affair, gave birth to Wu Yifan out of wedlock, and claimed to be your nephew. If your father and brother hadn't wanted to cover up the dirty things, would they have married you to me? Your family looks down on me, but you don't want to hide the dirty things. What kind of thing is Nurgle’s Wu family! I’m scolding you, and you’re still scolding me!”

"."

There was an uproar in the hall.

I didn't expect that today I would hear an old secret related to the family.

Wu's hands and feet were tied, unable to resist, but after hearing her husband, who had been sleeping with her for many years, tell her about her scandal, she twisted her body crazily, trying hard to look back at the man behind her.

However, due to the restraint of the rope around his neck, he was still unable to achieve his wish, so he could only stare at Cai Hua with his hateful eyes.

Wu Weiguang, who was pinned down on the chair by the soldiers, was also struggling, but as he was old and frail, he naturally could not break free from the sergeant's control, so he could only curse angrily: "Sun Changhao, shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I, the Wu family, will kill you!" "

At this time, instead of shouting for Sun Changhao to stop, he asked the latter to shut up.

Also, for aristocratic families, their reputation is extremely high. It doesn't matter if a woman dies in the family, but such scandal cannot be spread.

Chen Jingyan, who heard about this for the first time, couldn't help but despise the Wu family. We are both from the Yingchuan family, but your family has a nasty incident involving an unmarried woman having a private meeting with someone. It has simply lowered the bottom line of our family!

I don’t know how long it took, maybe a hundred breaths, maybe two hundred breaths, before the hall finally gradually became quiet.

Wu Weiguang, who had become hoarse from the scolding, was still cursing Sun Changhao and the rebellious officials and traitors.
Wu had already stopped struggling, but Sun Changhao still mechanically kept pulling on the rope.

It was not until Baoxi brought someone forward that they pulled Sun Changhao away. After the two were separated, Baoxi discovered that Sun Changhao had strangled Wu's throat.

What a lot of effort it took!
Sun Changhao calmed down for a moment, and finally came back to his senses, only to see him crawling up to Cai Hua, banging his head a few times, then raising his head with a disgusting and flattering smile, as if he was helping his master catch a Frisbee. The dog is average.

"Madam, I have killed that bitch for you. From now on, I will follow the example of the Marquis and Madam."

Dong-dong-dong, a few more noises.

If a scholar has no bones, he is as humble as an animal.

The scene before them made the Chen brothers, who were both scholars, extremely uncomfortable.
Cai Hua took out her handkerchief and covered her nose, as if she disliked the smell of Sun Changhao. Then she waved to Baoxi and opened her mouth softly, "Baoxi, send Mr. Sun off, and leave a complete body for you." .”

"."

Sun Changhao raised his head in disbelief and looked at Cai Hua, thinking he had heard wrong, "Madam?"

"Well, since you have repented, I will leave a whole body for you."

"Madam! You can't live without your words!"

"Keeping your word is what a man should do. I'm just a woman and don't understand this."

"Madam! Madam, you can't do that. Madam, you can't break your promise to everyone in the world!"

Sun Changhao was frightened. Baoxi had already brought people over. Seeing that it was useless to beg Cai Hua, Sun Changhao turned around and kowtowed to Chen Jingyan, "Brother Chen, save me, Brother Chen, save me! You and I came out of Yingchuan together, save I'm sorry! I already knew I was wrong."

Baoxi and others dragged Sun Changhao to the back of the post house, and Sun Chang burst into tears.

Even if he is facing a certain death situation, he doesn't even have the courage to curse and just begs for mercy in vain, which is worse than that of Wu.
Cai Hua turned around and walked out of the post house.

Outside, above the east city wall, an orange-red arc has been exposed, and the morning glow has been rising for half a day.

Chen Jingyan, who was moved by compassion, chased him from the hall to the courtyard and persuaded him in a polite tone: "Sanniang, since Sun Changhao already knew he was wrong, why not spare his life?"

Baoxi and the others didn't listen to him. If they wanted to save Sun Changhao, they could only ask Cai Hua to speak or go to Zhao Renren, but it was obviously too late to find the latter.

Cai Hua, who was looking sideways at the sky, said: "It's not that he knew he was wrong, he was just afraid of death."

Chen Jingyan was silent for a moment, and then said: "He is the prefect of a prefecture after all. If he is killed like this, Yuan Zhang's room for change will be small. Moreover, Sanniang has broken Sun Changhao's back, even if he stays, he can be used by us." .”

"Hehe, kill Sun Changhao so that the Marquis can make up his mind to do big things. Speaking of using him for his own use, our family has so many talents, but he is still missing? This kind of villain who betrays Qin Muchu, Chen Third brother dare to use it?"

For the first time, Cai Hua called Chen Jingyan the same name as Chen Chu. Chen Jingyan, who had been highly concentrated all night, was slightly distracted.

I couldn't help but think of the charming woman in front of me who was the first to stab the imperial servant in the private room of Caiwei Pavilion.
Cai Hua also rubbed her forehead a little tiredly, and whispered: "Third brother, now our family is both prosperous and prosperous, but my Marquis is a kind-hearted man. In order to avoid the ruin of all living beings, he always does not want to go to war. However, , Things in this world are like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat! When it’s time to give him a push, give him a push.”

Chen Jingyan understood, but he was not used to discussing such important matters with a woman, so he couldn't help but fell silent.

Cai Hua nodded and then said with a smile: "I'm tired, so I went back to my house to rest. While the curfew is still pending, Third Brother should quickly arrange for the police to sweep the streets, otherwise the people will go out to the streets after dawn. To be scared.”

After saying that, Cai Hua bowed Yingying and left the post house.

After Chen Jingyan returned the gift, he looked at Cai Hua's back and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, Chen Jing'an walked slowly to Chen Jingyan. The latter turned around and saw the person coming, and couldn't help but complain in his voice, "Why didn't Shou Qian persuade Sanniang? The killing karma tonight is too heavy. "

"Have you persuaded me to stop?" Chen Jingan said with a half-smile.

"." Chen Jingyan shook his head.

"Isn't that enough?" Chen Jingan was saying that his brother was doing useless work.

Chen Jingyan sighed silently, and then said: "The Sanniang of the Cai family acts according to her heart, without any rules at all, and she is vicious and ambitious. She is always around Lao Wu, and her fortunes and misfortunes are unpredictable."

Chen Jing'an chuckled and said, "In my opinion, it's a blessing rather than a curse."

"Oh? Why?"

"Yuanzhang and Renren are both kind-hearted people. There is always a need for a character in the family who can make outsiders afraid."

Chen Jingyan was speechless after hearing this. He looked up at the increasingly bright sky and said as if talking to himself: "It's a bright and sunny day again. I don't know what's going on over there with Yuan Zhang and Master Cai."

This Huaibei move is divided into three moves.

One move was Caizhou, and now the dust has settled.

The other two moves were the army led by Chen Chu and Cai Yuan in Tokyo.

Speaking of which, the last two moves are the most important. This is a gamble that puts money, lives, and even family members on the line.

If it succeeds, it may be remembered in the history books; if it fails, it will be difficult to leave chickens and dogs.

Chen Jingan also looked at the sky and said slowly: "Come on, there should be news in the next three to five days."
