After a busy day of training soldiers and horses in the Northern Army camp, Liu Cheng rode his horse back to General You's Mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Ji came up to him and cupped his hands and said: "General, Miss Cai's daughter, Miss Wenji, is already at the mansion."
I've been waiting for the general all day, but the girl didn't eat or drink all day.
It's so pitiful."
"Cai Wenji" Liu Cheng was stunned, "Why is she here?
I heard that her husband died and she has been living in her parents' house.
Why is she free to come here today?
By the way, I asked Wang Shuang to invite Cai Yong yesterday.
Could it be that they The father and daughter waited at the house all day."
"No, no," Zhang Ji shook his head quickly and said, "Wang Shuang took people to invite the Cai family this morning.
The Cai family did not want to come.
There was a dispute between the two parties.
The Cai family humiliated and insulted the general in public.
Wang Shuang was so angry that he couldn't help it.
Ordered him to be arrested and imprisoned in Luoyang County Prison.
Miss Wenji came here just for her father."
"So that's it."
Liu Cheng suddenly realized and said to Zhang Ji, "Okay, I understand.
You go and do your work.
I'll go see Cai Wenji."
Liu Cheng washed his face and walked to the side hall where he saw a thin but beautiful woman kneeling behind a low table.
The woman was dressed in elegant clothes, but she showed more ladylike talent.
There was some food on the low table. and tea, but nothing was touched.
When the guard at the door saw Liu Cheng approaching, he immediately shouted: "The general is here!"
Cai Wenji trembled, raised her head and saw Liu Cheng walking in from the door.
She immediately stood up and put her hands on her left chest, bent her right leg back, bent her left knee, lowered her head, and made a standard Wanfu gift, "Cai Yong's daughter" Yan, meet the general" "Ms.
Wenji, you're welcome, no courtesy, no courtesy."
Liu Cheng walked over with a smile, raised his hand, and motioned for her to get up and sit down.
"Thank you General" The two parties sat down separately, and Liu Cheng said to Cai Yan: "I have long heard that Miss Wenji is talented in literature and very beautiful.
When I see her today, she is indeed well-deserved."
Cai Yan said: "The general is so complimentary."
"I stayed in the military camp all day.
I just came back and heard that the lady came this morning.
These people didn't know how to go to the military camp to report.
They left the girl hanging here alone.
They really should have looked at the food in front of the lady.
The portions were not touched yet.
I wonder why Wenji didn’t eat.
Maybe the food didn’t taste good.
I immediately asked them to take it away and bring another one up.”
Cai Yan quickly said: "It's not that the food doesn't taste good, it's because my father is in prison, so how can Yan eat it?"
"Oh, by the way, I remember that I sent someone to your mansion early this morning to ask Mr.
Cai to come over and explain why he is in jail."
Cai Yan was confused: "Does the general not know that my father was arrested and imprisoned by the people sent by the general?"
"There is such a thing."

Liu Cheng was surprised, and reassured Cai Yan: "Miss Wenji, don't panic, wait until I ask clearly."
After that, he shouted outside: "Here, call Wang Shuang to come see me."
The guard at the door agreed: "No" After a while, Wang Shuang came.
Cai Yan saw that this was the person who captured his father.
"General, I don't know what the order is for calling me here."
Liu Cheng asked with a straight face: "Let me ask you, this morning I sent you to invite Mr.
Cai to come to the house for a chat.
Where are you?"
Wang Shuangweng said with an angry voice and clasped his fists: "General, that old man was talking nonsense, insulting and slandering the general's reputation.
The subordinates were so angry that they ordered him to be arrested and imprisoned in the Luoyang County Yamen Prison to let him sober up."
Liu Cheng immediately lectured loudly: "What a bastard.
Mr.
Cai is a great scholar in the world, his reputation is famous all over the world, and he is our senior.
Even if Mr.
Cai scolds me a few words, it doesn't matter.
The prison is a filthy place.
How can Mr.
Cai be like this?"
Plant a place where great scholars can stay.”
Wang Shuang was dissatisfied and argued: "The general doesn't know something.
The old man can go to Dong Zhuo's house to gain influence, why can't he come to the general's house?
Dong Zhuo invited him, and he went there immediately.
The general invited him, but he refused.
This is obviously looking down on him."
General, if you don’t want to give the general face, the general didn’t hear him scolding him harshly at that time.
His subordinates just put him in jail and didn’t let anyone take action.
They were very restrained.”
Liu Cheng glared angrily: "So you are still reasonable."
At this time Zhong Yao came in to smooth things over: "Why is the general so angry?"
Liu Cheng said quickly: "Yuan Chang, you came just in time.
This guy actually arrested everyone Cai and put them in Luoyang County Prison.
Could you please go and go with Miss Wenji to the county jail to fish out everyone Cai?"
" "I am willing to serve you."
Zhong Yao agreed, smiled and said to Cai Yan, "Ms.
Cai, Zhong, please accompany me to the county jail."
"Thank you so much, Lord Zhong."
Cai Yan stood up and saluted Zhong Yao, then turned to salute Liu Cheng and said, "My father may have offended you a lot with his words, but the general is broad-minded and generous, and does not care about past grudges.
Thank you very much, Yan.
It’s too late today, I will come to the house to thank the general another day.”
Liu Chengxu raised his hand and said: "I don't dare.
It was my poor arrangement that frightened everyone Cai, and also made Miss Wenji wait all day.
I feel really sorry.
If anything happens to Miss Wenji in the future, I will take care of it directly."
Find me" After Zhong Yao left with Cai Yan, Liu Cheng grabbed Wang Shuang and asked, "What's wrong with you kid?
Didn't you invite Cai Yong to the house?

Even if he insulted me, you shouldn't put him in jail." " Wang Shuang said angrily: "The general doesn't know anything.
Although this old man Cai has a great reputation, he has a very bad temper.
He curses people without any cover and is extremely unpleasant.
After being in contact with him for a while, I finally understood that this old man is If you bully someone who is afraid of being bullied, he will not be afraid of you at all if you reason with him.
If you try to be aggressive with him, he will be in trouble."
"Haha" Liu Cheng laughed, he touched his chin and said: "It would be good to put this old man in jail for a few days, just to cure his bad temper, but it doesn't seem right for us to act like this to fool a weak woman.
So authentic” Wang Shuang snorted coldly: "Humph, the general did this to save the old man.
If he really works for Dong Zhuo, his reputation will definitely be ruined.
He is not a famous person."
"My intention is good, but it's unfair to Miss Cai.
I am the right general of the imperial court, but I am playing tricks on a little girl.
After all, it is not the behavior of a man.
So, you prepare your carriage and horses tomorrow morning.
This general is going to Cai Mansion to apologize to Miss Cai."
"yes" County prison.
After Cai Yan saw Cai Yong, the father and daughter held each other's arms and cried.
After talking for a while, Cai Yan turned to Zhong Yao and said, "Master Zhong, please tell the cell leader if you can let my father out first." , if I need to take care of it, I will go home immediately to raise money."
Zhong Yao nodded and said to the cell leader beside him: "You heard it too.
Mr.
Cai is a great scholar in the world.
How can he live in a cell?
It's insulting to politeness.
Let's let him go first."
The cell leader grimaced and said, "Mr.
Zhong is giving me a hard time.
I'm just the cell leader.
It's not me who has the final say whether to let people go or not.
It has to be decided by the higher-ups.
If you want to get people out, you still have to do it."
You have to go to the county magistrate to get the official release document before you can take the person away.
By the way, I would like to remind you that this is a period of national mourning, and those who commit crimes during this period will be punished double."
After Cai Yan comforted Cai Yong, he had to walk out of the prison with Zhong Yao.
At the door of the prison, Zhong Yao said: "Miss Cai, don't worry.
As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
There is no way to get through here at the end of the cell.
Let's Let’s go find Sima Fang.
Since the general has spoken, I don’t think Sima Fang will be disrespectful when he comes.
It’s just that it’s getting late today.
Let’s go to the county government office tomorrow to find Sima Fang.”
"That's all we can do now."
Cai Yan nodded and sighed: "It's just that it hurts my heart to have my father stay in this prison for one night."
"Young lady's filial piety is admirable."
Zhong Yao cupped his hands and said, "But to be honest, it's actually a good thing to let Mr.
Cai live in the cell for a few days."
Cai Yan frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Why did Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Zhong say this?"
"Miss Cai also saw it just now.
The cell where Cai's family lives has obviously been cleaned and decorated.
It not only has beds, but also a desk, pens, inkstones, bamboo slips, and books to read.
This is not the treatment of ordinary prisoners, so Cai No one will suffer any harm there and now When your father was at the cusp of the storm, everyone in the government and the public were quite dissatisfied with your father's condescension to serve Dong Zhuo, and even secretly despised your father's kindness and integrity.
At this time, your father was allowed to live in a prison to avoid the limelight, so that he would not have contact with Dong Zhuo, and the only thing he could do to him was There are no advantages or disadvantages.”
Cai Yan fell into deep thought.
Early the next morning, Liu Cheng arrived at the Cai Mansion in a carriage.
After the announcement, Cai Yong's son Cai Yi quickly came out and welcomed Liu Cheng into the mansion.
Cai Yan dressed up carefully after hearing that Cai Yi sent someone to invite him.
Come out of the boudoir to meet Liu Cheng.
The two parties met with courtesy, and Liu Cheng was invited to sit at the top.
He said to Cai Yan and Cai Yi: "Actually, I came here today to apologize to Miss Cai.
I shouldn't have fooled Miss Cai by singing double recitals with my subordinates yesterday.
My original intention was to invite Mr.
Cai went to his house and asked for advice in person.
Who knew that there would be a conflict between his subordinates and Mr.
Cai?
I suddenly put him in jail.
I knew about this at the time and thought that this would allow the Cai family to get rid of Dong Zhuo's threats and solicitations, so as to preserve the Cai family's reputation.
Although Dong Zhuo did not deal with me, he would never I will fall out with you because of everyone in Cai.
This may have frightened the young lady.
I deeply apologize."
Cai Yan and his brother looked at each other, stood up and made a blessing gift to Liu Cheng, saying: "General, there is no need to apologize.
Now that I know the truth, I am very happy.
The general has good intentions.
I would like to thank the general on behalf of my father.
I heard this last night Master Zhong's words seemed to make sense.
After returning home, the slave family and his brother had discussed it and decided to let my father stay in prison for a longer period of time.
Today, he planned to visit his father in prison and talk to his father about this matter. matter" Liu Cheng smiled and said: "As long as the lady doesn't blame me, I will feel at ease."
The more troubled times came, the more corrupt the life of the ruling class became.
During the funeral of the Queen Mother, no one, including officials and civilians, was allowed to engage in entertainment activities.
This frustrated many people.
In order to finish the funeral as soon as possible and resume their luxurious life, the court Officials from top to bottom worked together to organize the funeral.
With the joint efforts of all parties, Queen Mother He was finally buried as quickly as possible and was buried on the side of Emperor Ling's mausoleum.
Luoyang City resumed a prosperous and luxurious life with singing and dancing.
Dong Zhuo's Mansion.
Dong Zhuo finally received the news that Cai Yong had been captured and imprisoned by Liu Cheng.
He was furious: "Our family spent a lot of effort to recruit Cai Yong into Sikong Mansion to serve as military advisor, but Liu Cheng He was taken to jail and locked up.
He was deliberately trying to make our family feel bad."
Li Ru smiled and said: "I heard that Cai Yong was imprisoned in the Yamen Prison of Luoyang County.
Anyway, Cai Yong is now the military advisor of Sikong Mansion.
He is your servant.
Your Majesty still has to send someone to find the county magistrate Sima Fang." , ask him to release him, they can't let Cai Yong has been locked up, and he will be released sooner or later.
The top priority for your Excellency is to send someone to raise the issue of the emperor's young age and inability to govern in the court.

The government always needs someone to make decisions.
In this matter, the three princes should be the leaders.
Assistant Minister" Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Hahaha, that's right, when the Three Dukes are the auxiliary ministers, Liu Yu is in Youzhou, and he has nothing to do.
The only people in the court with the Three Dukes are our family and Ding Palace, and Ding Palace is not If you dare to disobey our family, we will not have the final say in government affairs, so let’s treat it as such.”
One morning at the end of October, in the meeting hall of Chengmingtang, Dong Zhuo started to get angry.
He said to the three princes and nine ministers: "My lords, in the past, when the emperor was young, it was helpless for the queen mother to come to the court and take the throne.
Now that the queen mother has passed away, this Who should make the final decision on government affairs?
Can't we leave important matters concerning the safety and prosperity of the world to a young emperor who is not yet sensible?
If this causes chaos in the world, wouldn't we become sinners?"
