Chapter 115: Nine Sons of Cai Jing
Cai Jiu, also known as Cai Dezhang, was the ninth son of Cai Jing, the prime minister of the dynasty. He relied on Cai Jing's power to become the prefect of Jiangzhou.
Judging from the original text of Water Margin, he is a typical figure of the son of a powerful man in the Song Dynasty who was voluptuous, extravagant and lewd. He held a high position and did not think about his politics. He was placed in Jiangzhou, a land of plenty by his father Cai Jing, but he lived a completely peaceful life.
At this time, Huang Wenbing heard Cai Jiu's insulting words, but he was not ashamed at all. He held a wine bottle and poured wine for Cai Jiu, while licking his face and said: "My husband said it is good, and I will trust him for the rest of my life."
Under the sect, you will be rewarded with a saddle on your back."
Hearing Huang Wenbing's shameless words, Cai Jiu looked at him with a half-smile, stood up, and patted Huang Wenbing hard on the shoulder until he was so shaken that he almost couldn't hold the drink.
pot.
Huang Wenbing didn't know what Cai Jiu meant, so he just lowered his head and said nothing. When he raised his head again, he saw that Cai Jiu had dressed neatly and walked out of the cabin under the service of the maid.
"the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero.
Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset turns red several times.
The white-haired fisherman on the Nagisa River is used to watching the autumn moon and the spring breeze.
We are happy to meet each other over a pot of turbid wine. Many things in ancient and modern times can be laughed at and talked about."
Cai Jiu was wearing a purple robe, a fox fur draped over his shoulders, a virtuous crown on his head, and his expression was calm, but he had the air of a third-level official in the border area. At this time, he heard the sound of poetry reciting from the boat coming upstream, and the corners of his mouth raised.
With an obscure smile, he said to the helmsman on the side: "Crash into it!"
The helmsman was stunned for a moment when he heard Cai Jiu's words. He looked at the magistrate in front of him with a puzzled look on his face, and then heard him say in a deep voice, "Go ahead."
Knowing that the prefect had no taboos and was moody, the helmsman did not dare to say anything to offend him. He only sighed in his heart. He didn't know that the prefect was going to play new tricks again. He secretly prayed for the people on the opposite boat and adjusted the ship.
The direction of its movement was towards the approaching ship, which was getting closer and closer, and it collided directly with it.
The Tong brothers looked at the building boat that was heading straight towards their own ship, and frowned. Having been together on the Xunyang River for many years, Tong Wei and Tong Meng knew who owned this luxurious building boat, and they didn't want to get into trouble.
, was about to turn the rudder, but heard Zhu Biao's voice in his ears, "Come up to meet him."
Although they did not understand what their young master meant, the Tong brothers did not adjust their direction. In a moment, the two ships collided, making a dull sound, splattering sawdust all over the sky, and shaking violently.
After the boat became stable again, Zhu Biao cupped his hands with the man in purple standing on the boat on the opposite side of the building, and said calmly, "Ninth Young Master, are you having fun?"
"Not bad, not bad, but just like what my second uncle said, you are indeed a wonderful person." Cai Jiu stood on the bow of the boat, holding on to the side of the boat, listening to Zhu Biao's words, and laughed.
Second uncle?
Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. Cai Jiu is Cai Jing's son, and his second uncle is naturally the late Cai Bian. Among Cai Jing's disciples, Zhu Biao is the only one who can put the title "second uncle" on his lips.
But this is the first time I heard about it.
In the original text of Water Margin, there is not much mention of Cai Jiu. It is only mentioned that he obtained the position of Jiangzhou magistrate through Cai Jing's power. When Song Jiang assassinated Jiangzhou, Cai Jiu was instigated by Huang Wenbing to fight against the Liangshan hero.
The twenty-nine heroes of the White Dragon Temple each showed their magical powers, caused great trouble in Jiangzhou, and broke the story of the Wuwei Army.
I originally thought that Cai Jiu was a puppet who could even be manipulated by Huang Wenbing, a stupid prefect with no ideas. But now it seems that this person is far from being as simple as he seems.
Since Master Ninth knows Zhu Biao, he must have made a special trip to wait for someone on the river." Zhu Biao said to Cai Jiuyan.
Hearing this, Cai Jiu smiled slightly and said to Zhu Biao, "That's right. I have a boat full of beauties. Mr. Zhu, would you like to have a look across the boat?"
Hearing this, Zhu Biao smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Ninth Young Master is so kind, Zhu Biao doesn't dare to shirk it, so he's coming over here."
After saying that, he stepped forward and jumped over the boat. Wu Song behind him tensed up, and just as he was about to follow, he heard Cai Jiu on the other side say: "This good man, don't panic. Cai Jiu just wants to ask Third Young Master Zhu to speak.
No harm is intended, so please wait for a while."
When Wu Song heard this, he was about to have a seizure, but Xiao Jiasui grabbed his arm, shook his head at him, and whispered a few words in his ear. Wu Song's expression softened a little, and he stepped forward and stood at the front of the bow.
Got nervous and always on guard.
Cai Jiu didn't care when he saw this, he just turned around and led Zhu Biao to the cabin. Watching Cai Jiu and Zhu Biao disappear into the business, Xiao Jiasui said to Zhu Wudao beside him: "This Cai Jiu is not as rumored.
, it’s quite not simple.”
When Zhu Wu heard the words, he also nodded, turned around and whispered a few words to the Tong brothers, and then saw Tong Wei and Tong Meng, their expressions became serious. They walked to the blind spot at the stern of the ship, took off their coats, and rowed along the side of the ship.
In the water, when you dive deep, you swim towards the river bank.
Zhu Biao followed Cai Jiu into the cabin and immediately saw the extremely extravagant decoration and the coquettish orioles and swallows all over the boat. Cai Jiu asked Zhu Biao to take a seat and waved the people in the cabin to leave.
Looking at the middle-aged man exiting the cabin behind a group of warblers, Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows slightly, and a person flashed in his mind. Cai Jiu, who was sitting opposite, saw Zhu Biao's expression in his eyes and smiled: "
What? I wish Third Young Master doesn’t like this person.”
"We've never met before, but I'm not unhappy at all." Zhu Biao smiled and replied.
Cai Jiucao laughed and said: "This man's name is Huang Wenbing. He is an idle judge in Wuwei Army City on the other side of the river. He has no ability but is devoted to being an official. He usually wag his tail at a certain person in different ways, trying to curry favor with my Cai family.
It's a good place to go, I won't expose him, I just come here to have fun in my free time."
Hearing Cai Jiu's words, Zhu Biao thought of a joint in the original text of Water Margin. The Liangshan gang made a big fuss in Jiangzhou. After rescuing Song Jiang, the Song Jiang gang poured their revengeful fury on Huang Wenbing, but felt that "
The murder had nothing to do with the magistrate Cai Jiu, and was all caused by Huang Wenbing instructing the magistrate three times and five times to punish him." Apart from Song Jiang and others taking into account Cai Jiu's identity, there was no other reason for this.
Huang Wenbing only felt that he had kept Cai Jiu in the dark, but he didn't know that Cai Jiu was just pretending to be confused and playing with him. In the end, it was Cai Jiu who got the credit. There was a time when Huang Wenbing swallowed the Huang Lian himself.
When he was outside Bianliang City in the past, Wen Huanzhang once said to Zhu Biao, "Don't look at the powerful children in Bianliang City who are doing nothing all day long, and few of them are simple." At this time,
Zhu Biao has seen it.
Zhu Biao smiled slightly, picked up the fragrant tea in front of him, took a sip, and said to Cai Jiu: "I wonder if Mr. Jiu stopped Zhu today. What advice can you give me?"
