Chen Shen has a total of 126 brothers under his command. Adding his 127 people, Chen Shen bought 126 sets of silk clothes, that's right, 126 sets. He kept his share, and he planned to return the rest of the money to that nobleman, and to buy food for his subordinates to subsidize the family, he used the set that Chen Shen himself saved. Silk clothes, plus some money saved by Chen Shen himself.
Soon there will be a lot of gangsters wearing silk clothes in the whole Xiangyang city. Although these gangsters wear silk clothes, they are not so pampered after all. Naturally, they dress very funny, and they are afraid of ruining this very expensive silk. Clothes, doing things and walking are all cautious.
Fatty Jin was assigned to the Cai family in the west of the inner city of Xiangyang. Fatty Jin was wearing silk clothes on the inside, and was still covered with fabric clothes on the outside. The clothes on the outside were patched clothes, and the luxurious silk products on the inside were very funny.
"The Cai Mansion is in front!" Fatty Jin looked at the tall building in front of him. It can be said that this is the third tallest house in the entire Xiangyang City. It can be bigger than him, except for the city tower. It is also the state pastoral mansion where Liu Biao lives. From here, it can be seen that the Cai family is in a low position in Jingzhou.
Fatty Jin took a deep breath, took off the outer cloth clothes, put them aside, took out something that looked like a letter, and walked over to the Cai family's mansion .
Cai family! This is a huge force for everyone in Xiangyang City, especially for Fatty Jin, they are gangsters. Although cowhide is very good at blowing. Said that he was walking sideways in Xiangyang City. But when encountering this kind of aristocratic family, they can be smashed to pieces with a fart, so they are still very guilty of Fatty Cai Jiajin.
"Hache!" The Cai Mansion is the residence of the Cai family in Xiangyang City. The main power of the Cai family is in Xiangyang, the center of Jingzhou. Naturally, the Cai family is very big, and Cai Mao has the position of a military adviser. He is a military officer, so there are soldiers guarding the house outside the gate of Cai's mansion.
Two soldiers were looking at the crowd on the street. Xiangyang City is the center of Jingzhou. Unless Jingzhou is at a critical juncture, no matter what the front looks like, Xiangyang City will be a peaceful rear, and the soldiers here are naturally more leisurely, let alone these things. Home nursing home.
This yawning soldier obviously didn't sleep well last night, and he was listless after his shift in the morning.
But they didn't dare to lie on the ground and fall asleep. After all, this is the door of the Cai family. If they fell asleep on the ground, they would lose face to the Cai family. If the Patriarch finds out, they won't be able to eat and walk around.
So they can only yawn. After the disaster, I looked around boredly, trying to pass the time with some boring things and improve my concentration.
"Liu Li, look there, that gentleman boy is so funny, wearing a silk dress, but it feels like he has walked out of the cloth clothes. If you look at his chubby body, it's a waste of such a good Yunsi !” A soldier guarding the gate turned to the other giant, hoping that the two of them would find something to talk about so that they would not fall asleep.
"Which one!" The soldier was still sleepy, and he only saw it under the guidance of his companion next to him. "Haha, isn't this just a mountain wild boar? It's all together!" Looking at the fat man in silk clothes, the two gatekeepers were ruthless and belittled to nothing. There were still a lot of them. They have a taste of jealousy, these soldiers are working so hard, relying on the salaries of hundreds of dollars, they can't afford this silk dress at all. This is made of cloud silk. They see it in their eyes and they are red in their hearts. His body must look better than that fat man's clothes! What a waste. Isn't it just having a good father and giving birth to a good family!
"Slow down, quiet down, he's coming here!" Another soldier reminded, they can comment, but they can't be heard by the person concerned, you must know that although they are soldiers of the Cai family, these gentry children But the low position is one point higher than them. If people start to reason, they can't afford to go around.
"Come on, come on!" Although the gatekeepers stopped talking, there was still contempt in their eyes.
The fat man got closer and closer, and that's right, this man was the fat man who came to deliver the letter.
"No, he seems to have heard it!" These soldiers were a little nervous. If they were really heard, it would be a crime to talk about the gentry for no reason. These Jingzhou gentry are always old, and the Cai family will definitely not do it for them. A few soldiers went to offend the gentry.
"You guys!" Fatty Jin was completely overwhelmed by this Cai Mansion. The mahogany gate, plus the gilded plaque, wrote two big characters Cai Mansion. I'm afraid I can't keep the three packages!
"This young master, this young master, we said before that you didn't mean it. You have a lot of adults, so don't care about it like us!" People will naturally do something when they have a guilty conscience. Fatty Jin hasn't opened his mouth yet. A soldier next to him cupped his fists at Fatty Jin and apologized.
"Huh!?" Fatty Jin was taken aback for a moment, why don't adults remember villains? What says you didn't mean to.
"This is the Cai Mansion." Fatty Jin can't read characters. Although the plaque is on it, he can only know that it is two large characters.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The more Fatty Jin asked, the more nervous the soldiers of Cai's family became. The plaque is so big that you can't see it if you are blind. This fat man wants to ask the teacher to ask for a crime. Do you want to enter Cai's house and sue!
"I'm looking for someone from your Cai family!" Fatty Jin has an invitation in his arms, and he came here to send that invitation.
"My lord, we really didn't do it on purpose, just go around us and let us go like a fart!" The leader of these soldiers said flatteringly towards Fatty Jin, and the people around him also I'm bowing, and I'm going to find someone from the Cai family if I come up directly. This Cai family is a big family in this Jingzhou. The ordinary gentry saw Cai Jiaping and fell short for nothing. But the person in front of him is directly talking to someone from the Cai family, which shows that this person has a background, at least he is a descendant of an aristocratic family, otherwise he would not have said that.
"I said what's the matter with you! Let me go in, I tell you, I'm looking for someone from the Cai family!" Fatty Jin has finished delivering this one, and there are two more, so he wants to finish it quickly.
"My lord, we were wrong. We were wrong. What do you want, what do you want to let us go?!" The leader of the soldier said to Fatty Jin with a wry smile. Knowing that this fat man's hearing is so good, he didn't say anything. It's all right now. If this person really files a complaint, then the four of them will be finished. It's really good welfare and safe to be guarding the door of Cai's house. good. The salary is still high, if the defendant loses such a good job, it will be a trivial matter. If he was sent to Jiangxia to go to the front line, it would be over. He gestured to the people around him. The three people understood the gesture and took out a bag of things from their arms. of.
"Master, Lord, please accept it!" The soldier leader flatteringly handed over the heavy things belonging to four people to Fatty Jin. As soon as Fatty Jin touched this heavy thing, his eyes lit up and he smiled happily.
This heavy thing is naturally the money bag. This is the money bag of the four janitor soldiers. Fatty Jin doesn’t know what’s going on. Could it be that sending such a letter not only has the silk clothes to wear, but also the money? OK! The weight of the cushion was really quite a lot. Fatty Jin put the four money bags in his arms directly. Seeing Fatty Jin's movements, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief. Although the money bags were gone, it was very uncomfortable. But it is also good to save money and avoid disasters, but they haven't exhaled that breath yet, this golden fat man has changed again.
"You'd better call out your manager first!" Fatty Jin took the money, he was a principled person, he wanted to get things done.
"Ahhh, hurry up!" Fatty Jin looked at the soldier leader calmly. The soldier leader gritted his teeth, took out another money bag from his arms, and pushed a few people behind him. soldiers. The three soldiers reluctantly took out the money bag
After a while, there are four money bags again. These soldiers are also very smart. They know that the money should not be put in one pocket, but they are afraid that the pockets will be wiped out when they are drunk, so they put the money in two bags.
"There is more?!" Fatty Jin was dumbfounded, not only did he have a red envelope, but also a second wave, who would not want money, Fatty Jin put it away again.
"Well, I still want to see your steward, because I have something important to tell!" Fatty Jin took four more money bags.
"Master, sir, we know that you don't like us so much, but we really have no money!" The leader of the soldiers was about to cry, he lost both money bags, he still didn't let them go, and he still wanted to See you in charge, what is this
"I know you are out of money, it's okay, I don't want it anymore, I see that your boss is going to give something away!" Fatty Jin, a person who has been in the rivers and lakes, how could he not know the rules of the two purses? Once the money bags were found, the four soldiers were basically poor.
"I want to send something?!" Although the four soldiers didn't see what Fatty Jin was going to send, as long as they didn't cause trouble for them, it would be fine.
A soldier nodded, and immediately walked into Cai's mansion. He went to report, but the remaining three people were still blocking the door.
Soon a man who looked like a butler came out, "Which son is looking for our Cai family!" This person Cai Ye is the housekeeper of the Cai family. Of course, he is different from Chen Bo of the Kuai family. A disciple of a branch of the Cai family, he knew that his official career was hopeless. The Cai family is so big, it is basically difficult for a branch disciple who is not outstanding to be filial, so he chose another path for his own prosperity and wealth, which is to enter Being a housekeeper in the Cai family's mansion is now very prosperous.
This Cai Ye was smiling when he came out, that kind of smile was very sweet, and made people feel very comfortable at first glance. When Cai Ye heard the report from this soldier, he said that there was a son from an aristocratic family who wanted to see the steward of Cai's mansion, and said Is to give something.
Cai Ye thought he was a child of some aristocratic family, so he came out with a big smile on his face.
But when he came out, he saw someone he didn't know. Cai Ye could be the housekeeper of the Cai family. Naturally, he is still very familiar with the various families in Jingzhou. Know those people can mess with. Who should not be messed with, but Cai Ye has never seen the fat man in front of him, but Cai Ye did not neglect Fatty Jin, because Fatty Jin is wearing cloud silk clothes, silk clothes can be said to be the best Clothes, cloud silk is the best among silks.
"This is?!" Cai Ye was all smiles and wanted Fatty Jin to introduce himself.
Fatty Jin hadn't opened his mouth yet, a servant-like person next to Cai Ye suddenly said in a dumb voice, "Fatty Jin, why are you here?!"
"Fatty Jin?!" Cai Ye turned his head and frowned. This domestic servant really doesn't know etiquette, but he said such words to a nobleman's son, he must teach him well.
Seeing Cai Ye's reproachful eyes, the servant panicked, because Cai Ye is still very good at managing the Cai family, and these servants are afraid of him! "Steward Cai, I know my mistake, I know my mistake! The kid speaks loudly, it's because of this person's little understanding!"...
The servant knelt down and explained to Cai Ye that if he didn't give Cai Ye a good explanation, it would be a disaster. Eh, politeness is absolutely unnecessary for this kind of aristocratic family.
"Cai Zhong?!" Fatty Jin also saw the person coming, and when he saw this person, Fatty Jin was so angry that his teeth itch.
"You guys know each other?!" Cai Ye asked.
"That's right. This person is a ranger on the Xiangyang Water Transport! I knew him because I had a conflict with him!" That's right, Cai Zhong and Fatty Jin really had a conflict. Being a servant of the Cai family naturally relies on It is difficult to live with a hundred dollars, so these servants of the Cai family have thought of some methods, such as the things on the water transport of the Cai family. With the reputation of the Cai family's great business, many businessmen will adopt this method. , to give these servants some filial money in the hope of being taken care of by the Cai family, but Chen Shen's people are the ones who collect the protection fee from the water transport, so there will be conflicts if both parties collect the protection fee.
This Cai Zhong used the name of the Cai family to call Xiangyang Wei and arrested Chen Shen and his brothers. If Chen Bo didn't help, they might all be pulled out of the army. So naturally Fatty Jin doesn't like Cai Zhong.
"Ranger?!" Cai Ye raised the corner of his mouth, showing disdain. What is a ranger? If you put it nicely, it's called a wandering knight, but if you put it badly, it's just a gangster! A yamen servant can manage him to death. And he, Cai Ye, is the biggest in the Cai family except for a few lords. Some patriarchs of the small gentry would call out Cai Ye when they saw Cai Ye, but such a little bastard ran to Ecai's mansion and let him go. Cai Ye met him personally? What a system this is.
"Ah, the villain doesn't know, the villain really doesn't know!" The four soldiers guarding the gate were stunned. Is this person a gangster? They paid him back before, is this a bastard? They also notified him? He even called the steward.
"Hmph!" Cai Ye snorted coldly, his smile just now was completely wasted.
"Brothers, take him down!" The soldier leader yelled under Cai Ye's piercing gaze, and the remaining three men were about to step forward and take down Fatty Jin. You must know that Fatty Jin has their money on him, because Jin Fatty, not only did they lose their money, but they were reprimanded by Cai Ye. Fatty Jin would be a ghost if they didn’t hate him to death. Why are you so red.
"What are you doing, what are you doing!" Fatty Jin was caught immediately, and the four soldiers did not take the money in Fatty Jin's arms immediately, because Cai Ye was here.
"Pretend to be a son of a noble family, dragged into the torture hall and beaten to death with sticks! Pulled to feed the dogs!" Cai Ye said very disgusted, killing a gangster is nothing to Cai Ye.
"There are still a few of you who report indiscriminately, and get twenty big sticks yourself!" Cai Ye began to punish.
"Yes!" Twenty big sticks is no joke, they can't run away with bruises, and the one who caused them to be like this is the fat man they are holding, and this hatred has increased by one point.
"Let go of me, let me go!" Fatty Jin really panicked, beat him to death with a stick, and even dragged him to feed the dogs when he died. Four money bags? Just call them out, and you can't beat them to death with sticks.
"I'm here to deliver things! To deliver things!" Fatty Jin shouted loudly.
"Drag on!" Fatty Jin is fat and has a loud voice, so there are many people standing outside Cai's house watching. Cai Ye frowned and dragged on.
"Our boss, Chen Shen, asked me to deliver it." Who is Chen Shen? How could Cai Ye know.
"It's Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen asked me to speak!" Uncle Chen? Fatty Jin doesn't know Uncle Chen's full name. Even if he said it out, Uncle Chen was just at the same level as Cai Ye.
"By the way, it's Master Kuai, who asked me to give it to me!" Fatty Jin finally called out the savior.
"Whatever you master, you will die today!" These four soldiers hated this fat man so much that he didn't care about Master Kuai.
"Slow!" Cai Ye yelled the word "slow" just as the four soldiers were about to put Fatty Jin in the execution hall of the Cai family.
"Master Cai?!" The four soldiers asked suspiciously.
"Master Cai is Fatty Jin and a ranger!" Cai Zhongzai explained next to him.
Cai Ye ignored these people and asked Fatty Jin, "Who is the master Kuai you are talking about?!" The Kuai family, this surname is very rare in the first place. And the one named Kuai in Jingzhou is also the Kuai family.
"It's Mr. Kuai who lives in the outer city."
Master Kuai from the outer city? Kuai Mansion is in the city.
"Master Cai, let me just say, this fat man is telling lies, this Kuai mansion is in the inner city of Xiangyang!" The outer city and the inner city are completely different things. They broke their heads and squeezed in towards the inner city. How could they go to the outer city, and it was the Kuai family, a big family named after the Cai family.
Cai Ye had a little impression, but he couldn't remember it.
"It's Master Kuai Qingtian!" Fatty Jin was about to cry. He just came to deliver the letter, not to fight and kill. As for being beaten to death with random sticks again, it's feeding the dogs again.
"Kai Qingtian!" Fatty Jin might not know Cai Ye if he said Master Kuai, but once he said Kuai Qingtian, Cai Ye immediately remembered it.
Kuai Qingtian, this is what the people of Jingzhou said to the person in charge of the Kuai family. This person is Kuai Liang and Kuai Zirou. Kuai Liang is called Kuai Qingtian. But the six relatives don't recognize it, no one can intercede, let him go first, punish him again, and kill him third, which puts everyone in Xiangyang City at that time at risk.
Especially those sons of the gentry were even more panic-stricken. There were quite a few gentry killed by Kuai Liang, at least seven or eight of them! Among them, there are indeed children of the Cai family. Although they are not direct descendants, they are also a very close branch, and the Cai family still has a lot of say. But it was such a son of the Cai family who was beheaded by Kuai Liang. Whether it was Cai Mao's plea or Kuai Yue's pleading at that time, it had no effect.
The reputation of Kuai Lengzi also spread throughout the Jingzhou gentry, and it was even more terrifying than Cao Cao's five-color sticks back then. After all, the five-color sticks only beat people and did not kill people.
And the younger brother of the Cai family who was killed was really related to Cai Ye.
This stupid Kuai seems to really live in the outer city, and he and his elder brother broke up and separated!
"So it's Mr. Zirou's man! Put this little brother down!" No matter what, Kuai Liang's face must be given, after all, the Kuai family and the Cai family are in an alliance, although this Kuai Liang is a bit at odds with Kuai Yue , but he is a brother after all, there is no overnight hatred, he Cai Ye is just a housekeeper, he really can't afford to offend.
"Let go of me, let me go!" Hearing Cai Ye's words, and Cai Ye's iconic smile appeared again, Fatty Jin knew that he was saved. The fat man patted his small chest.
As soon as Fatty Jin came up, he immediately looked at the money bags in his arms. The naked eyes made the four soldiers beside him want to eat Fatty Jin.
"I was sent by Mr. Zirou!" Fatty Jin was full of air. He is a gangster who naturally knows that foxes are pretending to be tigers. There is no need to wait for such a name.
"I'm really sorry for offending you just now!" Cai Ye cupped his fists at Fatty Jin.
"Master Cai, this person is a bastard!" Cai Zhong who was beside him still did not give up.
"Shut up!" Cai Ye said to Cai Zhong, a little angry, no matter whether this fat man is real or not, Cai Ye is not going to kill him now, at least let this fat man account for the matter, watching The cloud silk on this fat man's body is really possible, because Cai Ye didn't even wear cloud silk, but a gangster put it on.
"But!" Cai Zhong still wanted to struggle.
"Do I need you to teach me how to do things?!" Cai Ye looked at Cai Zhong coldly.
"Yes! The villain knows!" Cai Zhong lowered his head and remained silent.
Cai Ye was also looking at this fat man from the corner of his eye. If this fat man was really sent by Kuai Liang, then Cai Ye would greet him with a smile. But if not, then the fat man didn't just bite himself to death. It may even involve his family. A mere commoner, Cai Ye, could be crushed to death if he wanted to.
"Mr. Zirou said such nonsense about Cai Zhong and offended Mr. Zirou. Mr. Zirou wants me to come here this time to let your Cai family discipline you!" Fatty Jin pointed at the right not to expire. That Cai Zhong.
"Ah! How did I, how did I offend Mr. Zirou?!" Cai Zhong was stunned when Fatty Jin pointed at him, and then realized that Fatty Jin was trying to bully others.
"Mr. Zirou said yes, yes!" Cai Ye turned around with a smile. Meng De just slapped his hands, only to hear a slap, half of Cai Zhong's cheeks became red and swollen, and the five guides above were shining brightly.
"Come here and bring Cai Zhong into the punishment hall, and interrogate him carefully, how did you offend Mr. Zirou!" Cai Ye didn't pay attention to a mere domestic servant, not to mention whether this Cai Zhong had offended Zi Rou. Rou, even if he didn't offend Cai Ye, he would die if he wanted to.
"yes!"
"Master Cai was wronged. I was wronged!" Cai Zhong was quickly taken down by several soldiers, and if he survived in the torture hall, he would lose half his life.
Fatty Jin listened to Cai Zhong's screams. He couldn't help but shudder, he just wanted to punish Cai Zhong, but that's definitely not the way to kill him.
"This little brother! Mr. Zirou just said that!" Although Cai Ye smiled on the surface, his eyes were those of a poisonous snake. Cai Zhong went to the punishment hall to feed the dogs together.
"No, no, no more!" Fatty Jin didn't want to stay here for a moment. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Mr. Zirou asked me to give something, Nong, this is it!" Fatty Jin took out the invitation from his arms.
"Huh?!" Cai Ye took it from Fatty Jin's hand. It was just an ordinary envelope, and Cai Ye opened it.
It is written that Kuai's flowers and leaves are scattered, especially to marry a concubine and invite everyone to a party!
"This is an invitation card!?" Cai Ye saw the envelope and said, the time written on it was tonight, and the place said that the people invited by the Kuai family in the outer city were their patriarch Cai Mao and the second and third masters.
"Brother, can you wait for a while?!" Cai Ye didn't know whether the invitation was genuine, so on the surface, Cai Ye was using a tone of discussion, but he did it very simply.
This fat man didn't have time to say that he didn't want to wait, he didn't want to stay at the door of Cai's house, but how could Cai Ye give him a chance, "Come and invite me to the side hall for tea! Rest!" !"
Said Cai Ye entered Cai's house first, and soon disappeared into this huge mansion.
And a few soldiers outside came forward and stretched out their hands to Fatty Jin, "Please, my lord!"
"Boss! Take care!" Fatty Jin was about to cry, he thought he was going to die generously.
…
"Who sent this?!" Cai Mao, one of the members of the Cai family, happened to be in the mansion. The war in Jiangxia was stable these few days. The disciple of Mr. Shui Jing, the kid from Zhuge's family, was very capable, and even defeated Jiangdong steadily. There are no big victories, but small victories are emerging one after another, and the good news is frequent, so the mood of the lord Liu Biao is also good these days .
"A ranger!" Cai Ye replied respectfully to Cai Mao. After getting this invitation, Cai Ye would naturally send someone to investigate Fatty Jin. Fatty Jin is easy to investigate. He is just a ranger.
"Ranger?!" Cai Mao frowned. "This would be a ranger!" A ranger is a gangster, and Kuai Liangna was in charge of Xiangyang Guard back then. Xiangyang Guard is equivalent to the Provincial Police Department in Jingzhou. Rangers are gangsters who collect protection fees. These two are natural enemies, not a gang.
"The leader of the Fatty Jin gang is called Chen Shen! This Chen Shen is the nephew of Mr. Zirou's housekeeper!" It was obvious that Cai Ye had inquired very carefully, and even knew who Chen Shen was.
"The butler?!" Cai Mao also remembered a little bit, he had seen the butler who followed Kuai Liang before. If that's the case, then it's easy to explain.
"What's the matter, my lord's invitation is fake?!" Cai Ye asked cautiously, if it was fake, then the Fatty Jin family would disappear in this Jingzhou.
"The invitation is not fake!" Cai Mao shook his head, the handwriting on this invitation was unrecognizable to others, so Cai Mao would not recognize it! Before the Cai family and the Kuai family became the largest family in Jingzhou, the two families were family friends. Naturally, the Kuailiang brothers also had acquaintance with their Cai family brothers. Cai Mao couldn't write well, but he was laughed at by Kuailiang. Little, and the reason why Kuai Liang laughed at Cai Mao was because of his wonderful calligraphy. How could Cai Mao not remember it!
It would be easy to explain if this Fatty Jin was the housekeeper of Kuai Liang. Kuai Liang and his elder brother Kuai Yue had a falling out, separated and lived in the outer city. He will accept his brother's help, so he didn't even bring a sender of invitations, and he had to let a bunch of gangsters come to do things. Fortunately, Cai Ye held back, and it would be fun if he couldn't hold back for a while and killed this fat man up.
"Then can the owner go at night?!" Cai Ye asked Cai Mao, if Cai Mao went then Cai Ye would need to prepare a carriage and the like
"Go! Why don't you go!" Cai Mao replied without thinking
Cai Mao suddenly thought of something funny and laughed, "" Kuai Liang, Kuai Liang, you can't help it! Everyone knows that Kuai Liang is a fool. Kuai Liang's stupefaction is manifested everywhere. This is also true in marriage. He only recognizes one wife. In his opinion, people who love each other can only be single-minded, so he He has only been with his wife for so many years without taking a concubine, even if that wife failed to leave him a son.
Later, Kuai Liang's wife passed away, and Kuai Liang has been single for so many years, raising two daughters by himself, but now it seems that Kuai Liang can't bear it anymore.
Cai Mao was not so much going to bless Kuai Liang as he was going to ridicule Kuai Liang. There are not many opportunities to laugh at that fool.
"Cai Ye, go and take out a white tiger whip from my treasury! We can't go empty-handed!" Cai Mao said to Cai Ye with a smile.
