Tang Yin let the Cai family go. First, the Cai family was weak and a typical wallflower. It was relatively easy to control. Secondly, the Cai family had a high reputation and was a famous family in Ning State. Recovering the Cai family would allow a large number of people to join the family.
The wealth and honor of Ning State returned to Shunfeng State.
After the Feng army captured Liangzhou, they not only used force to kill, but also adopted a soft policy to seduce those Ningguo dignitaries who were greedy for life and afraid of death.
The Feng army also surrounded the Cai family's house, but they did not attack directly.
Tang Yin still valued the Cai family very much and even came in person.
When Tang Yin arrived, Feng Jun had surrounded Cai Mansion on three floors inside and three floors outside. They used lamps, torches, and pitch pine to illuminate the outside of the house as bright as day. The door of Cai Mansion was closed, and the people inside the house were closed.
The servants and guests have all climbed up to the courtyard wall, each one twirling his bow and arrow as if facing a formidable enemy.
The atmosphere on the field was solemn and tense, and a fierce battle was about to break out.
Seeing the king coming, Ziying, who was personally commanding here, hurried forward to greet him, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, the Cai Mansion has been surrounded by our army, and everyone in the Cai family is inside."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, and accompanied by Ziying, slowly walked out of the crowd.
When he arrived at the main entrance of Cai Mansion, he stopped and shouted loudly inside: "Tell Cai Song to come out and talk to me!"
The servants and guests in the mansion were all shocked when they heard that the other party called himself the king. Among the Feng Army, there would be no other person who could call himself that, except the Feng King Tang Yin.
Where people dared to delay, one of them hurriedly turned around and ran into the lobby, shouting as he ran: "Master, the Wind King is here! Master, the Wind King is outside the house..."
At this time, the lobby was already full of people. Sitting in the middle was Cai Song, the head of state. To his left and right were the Cai family members, including Princess Cai Youlian and Cai Youling, who had a close relationship with Tang Yin.
Hearing that the Wind King Tang Yin had arrived outside the house, everyone present was shocked and their expressions suddenly changed, especially Cai Youling. She had watched Tang Yin fall off the cliff with her own eyes. She thought Tang Yin had died long ago, but later she heard that Tang Yin was at the Feng Army camp.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with her. She had always been doubtful about this. Now that she heard that Tang Yin had come in person, her mood was much more complicated than others. She was surprised and curious at the same time, but her fear was reduced a lot.
"I'm telling you, if Tang Yin killed the king, how could his elder sister come back so easily?" Cai Song's eldest son, Cai Peng, stood up, holding a sword in his hand, and said angrily: "Anyway, we are all going to die, so why not fight with Tang Yin?"
!”
The second son, Cai Gui, frowned and said sternly: "Brother, please don't fuck me yet. If Tang Yin wants to kill my Cai family, there is no need to come in person. Since he is here, he must have an agenda. Father, why don't you go out and meet him?"
Once we meet, maybe..." He didn't finish the sentence because he didn't want everyone to have too high hopes. He couldn't figure out what Tang Yin had in mind.
Cai Song nodded, feeling that what the second son said was reasonable. The old man stood up, looked around at everyone, and sighed: "Well, if you can't hide, I will go see Tang Yin in person. If you want to kill or behead him, it's up to him!"
"Father, I'll go with you!" Cai Youling stood up.
Cai Song did not refuse. He took a deep breath, straightened his clothes and strode out. Cai Peng, Cai Gui, Cai Youling and other Cai family children also followed him out.
Bang, bang, bang - the door of Cai Mansion was slowly opened, and the Cai family, headed by Cai Song, walked out one after another.
Cai Youling, who was mixed in the crowd, looked up and saw a horse standing in front of the Fengjun camp. The young man on the horse was handsome, with raised corners of his mouth and a natural smile. Isn't it Tang Yin or who?
He was indeed not dead! Seeing Tang Yin alive and well with her own eyes, Cai Youling secretly sighed unknowingly. She was more surprised than anything, and even she herself didn't know why she had such a reaction.
Cai Song didn't know what she was thinking, but when she came out and saw the crowds of people outside, Feng Jun, and the dense red tassels, the old man's heart suddenly tightened into a ball, and his calves also twisted.
Cai Peng, who has a fierce personality, was still very confident before seeing Feng Jun and wanted to kill him. Now that he saw Feng Jun, he was trembling and couldn't stand up. On the contrary, Cai Gui, who was gentle and gentle, was calm and collected.
His face showed no fear, his eyes did not squint, and he turned a blind eye to the surrounding troops.
No need to ask, you can guess Tang Yin's identity just by looking at his clothes and style.
The Cai family members, headed by Cai Song, knelt down one after another, kowtowed forward and gave great gifts. Regardless of whether the two parties were hostile or not, as Tang Yin was a prince, they, as ministers, should do the same in front of others.
Tang Yin immediately smiled and glanced at everyone one by one. When he saw Cai Youling, the latter happened to raise his head to peek at him, and their eyes met in the air.
Cai Youling had very complicated feelings towards Tang Yin, and so did Tang Yin. It stands to reason that Cai Youling almost killed him, so he should hate her, but there was no trace of resentment in Tang Yin's heart.
After being stunned for a moment, the smile on Tang Yin's face deepened and he nodded slightly towards Cai Youling.
When Cai Youling saw it, his jade face suddenly turned red, and he suddenly felt shy, and immediately lowered his head.
Tang Yin raised the corners of his mouth and smiled in his eyes.
At this time, Ziying cleared his throat vigorously. He didn't know what the king was thinking, but everyone had already come out and knelt in front of him to say hello, but he didn't even say a word, which seemed too rude.
.
Tang Yin came to his senses, waved his hands and said, "Everyone, please get up!" As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted, walked a few steps forward, and stood in front of Cai Song.
The old man's heart trembled secretly, and he lowered his head and said: "I don't know that His Highness the Wind King is coming here, but I miss you so much. I hope the Wind King will forgive you."
"Haha!" Tang Yin chuckled and said, "Master Cai must be eager to swallow me alive, right?"
Cai Song trembled and said hurriedly: "What did His Highness King Feng say?"
"I will execute Yan Chu, a sycophantic minister who showed disrespect to the emperor. Doesn't Mr. Cai hate me?"
Tang Yin's questioning was very skillful. He deliberately introduced the title of emperor and gave Yan Chu the title of sycophant. If Cai Song was still loyal to Yan Chu, it would be tantamount to admitting that he was also a sycophant. He asked this and gave Cai Song a step down.
It meant that he should take the initiative to draw a clear line with Yan Chu.
Who is Cai Song? He is from a noble family, and he is the father of the country. He has been an official for most of his life. Every strand of his hair is empty. When Tang Yin asked this question, he immediately understood that the other party wanted to win over him.
, the old man immediately climbed up the pole and said seriously: "No, no, no, His Royal Highness Feng Wang has misunderstood. Yan Chu is disrespectful to the emperor and should be punished. The old minister is in Ning State and has always been under Yan Chu's majesty. Even if
Even if you feel dissatisfied, you don’t dare to blame him. Now His Highness Feng Wang is fighting for the country, which is really a very satisfying move. How can I hold grudge against His Highness Feng Wang?”
The old man said these upright and unintentional words without turning red or out of breath, as if he really meant it.
Tang Yin was startled at first, then he threw his head back and burst into laughter, and said leisurely: "As the saying goes, a wise man is a man who understands things. Mr. Cai is a smart man, unlike Zhang Zhihong and Gao Dan, who are stupid and loyal sycophants. I like to work with smart people.
"
Phew! Listening to Tang Yin's hearty laughter and words of praise for himself, Cai Song not only did not feel ashamed and blushed, but also felt relieved in his heart. It seemed that there was hope that his life and that of his family could be saved.
Tang Yin rolled his eyes, then looked straight at Cai Song's face, and said slowly: "Don't you think Mr. Cai blames me for making my daughter a widow?"
Cai Song took a breath, this was what he hated most about Tang Yin.
If Yan Chu had not died, his daughter would still be a high-ranking princess, and he would still be a powerful father-in-law. But now that Yan Chu is dead, Youlian has suddenly changed from a noble princess to a widow, and her power has also disappeared.
However, compared with power and life, the latter is more important. The old man suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile: "I have already said that the minister is only grateful to His Highness and has no resentment."
"Well! Mr. Cai said this, and I feel relieved." Tang Yin said with a smile: "I can't stay in Liangzhou for a long time. I need a trustworthy minister to stay here and manage Ningdi on my behalf. I feel that,
Mr. Cai is the best candidate."
Cai Song and everyone in the Cai family couldn't believe their ears. Tang Yin actually asked the Cai family to manage Ningdi. This was too unexpected. In this way, not only was the Cai family not in trouble, but it was also blessed?
The old man was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to him. He stammered: "Feng... Your Highness, King Feng... isn't he kidding me?"
"Haha!" Tang Yin laughed, raised his head and said, "You have no joke. How can you joke about such a big thing?"
"Old minister, thank you for your kindness!" After receiving Tang Yin's confirmation, Cai Song fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed three times to Tang Yin, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.
The children of the Cai family were also surprised and happy, and they knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
Among the crowd, only Cai Gui gasped, frowned secretly, shook his head and sighed at Tang Yin's insidiousness.
Tang Yin asked the Cai family to help him manage Ningdi. He was just saying it nicely, but in fact he was just looking for a puppet for himself. Tang Yin would not give the Cai family real power.
Once they accept his request, the Cai family will replace Tang Yin and become the target of all Ning people. They will be shamed and hated by Ning people. But the terrible thing is that they know that there will be such a result, but they have to agree to him, otherwise
Both the young and old of the Cai family had to suffer at the hands of Feng Jun.
Finding a puppet is a sure-profit deal for Tang Yin, but for the Cai family, it brings a lot of harm and no benefit, but they can only accept it.
Cai Gui objected to this matter one hundred and twenty, but remained silent and did not dare to say even a word of no.
Cai Song didn't think as much as he did, and was still secretly glad that his power was still there, and he might even be more powerful than when Yan Chu was alive.
