Chapter 692: It's Cold in High Places
Chapter 696
"Where is Sun Xiaomao?" asked Cheng Dalei, who was sitting crookedly in the chair.
Wu Yong came back to his senses, bowed down and said, "Remand in prison." ”
Cheng Dalei stood up: "Take me to see him." ”
Wu Yong led Cheng Dalei to prison, and there were still some people in the prison. Some of them were soldiers who took advantage of this time to break the city and make trouble, and they did not commit a big crime, so they would not be sentenced to death, and they were temporarily locked up in prison. Some of them were generals from Liangzhou City, and when they saw Cheng Dalei coming in at this moment, they had the audacity to scold their mother.
I walked all the way to a cell in front of a cell. There was a young man with a white face and no beard locked up inside, and he looked a little delicate, and after seeing Cheng Dalei, he immediately knelt down and refused to get up with his head touching the ground.
Cheng Dalei looked at him through the cage and said, "Look up at me." ”
Only then did Sun Xiaomao dare to raise his head and said, "The big boss, his subordinates are guilty of capital crimes." ”
Cheng Dalei didn't speak, and looked at his face carefully. It's just a young man in his early twenties, and although he is a fierce man on the battlefield, he still has a bit of childishness in his eyes. A fiery anger, and still thinking about living for a few years, exhausting all flesh and blood before stopping.
"Sun Xiaomao, are you afraid of death?"
Sun Xiaomao shook his head firmly and did not say a word.
Cheng Dalei stood up and walked away, without looking back.
kept walking out of the cell, the sun was scorching outside, and Cheng Dalei let out a long breath of turbidity.
"Big boss, what should I do with this Sun Xiaomao. ”
"Three days later, at noon, chop. ”
Cheng Dalei said this sentence outside the prison, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout the city, and the streets and alleys were talking about it.
Even, even Cui Baiyu, who stayed at home in the City Lord's Mansion, heard it.
"Miss, that Cheng ...... Big boss, will you really behead that person?" Xiaolu, who was busy in the study, asked in a low voice when he saw that no one was left or right.
"Kill a hundred people, win people's hearts, what is there to make a fuss about. Cui Baiyu said lightly. was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she was tired of seeing this kind of thing. Don't say that an obscure soldier is killed by a brother in life and death.
At this time, Cheng Dalei came in, and the four of them forced their mouths at the same time.
"How are things handled?" asked Cheng Dalei after sitting down.
Cui Baiyu handed over a copy of the materials he had sorted out, and after Cheng Dalei spread it out, he couldn't help but praise it when he saw a beautiful flyy hand.
However, in a short period of time, Cui Baiyu probably had an eyebrow, and she divided the big families in the city into four classes according to the amount of family wealth, and stipulated taxes in turn. The knife moved just right, of course, Cheng Dalei can't fully trust her now, but she works to this extent, and she really deserves Cheng Dalei's applause.
"You are worthy of being my female Zhuge . ”
"Who is Zhuge ?" Cui Baiyu asked with a frown.
Cheng Dalei pursed his lips and changed the topic: "Okay, there is no need to care about such inconsequential sections." You finish this quickly, you do a good job, the master will keep it in mind, and I won't wronged you in the future. ”
Cui Baiyu nodded silently, it was really difficult to make her happy to be committed to the thief. However, there is no way out of the road, at least, it is not worse than the worst.
Cheng Dalei's eyes swirled around Cui Baiyu, and now she was covered with black veil, which relieved Cheng Dalei of a lot of pressure.
"Come, there's something I have to ask Miss Cui for advice. ”
"Cheng Dangjia has something to say, but he doesn't dare to ask for advice. ”
Cheng Dalei cleared his throat and said, "I believe you know what happened in the city." I would like to ask, if it were Lord Choi Sang, what would he do about this?"
Cui Baiyu thought for a while, and said: "You have to look at people and things, like this time, I'm afraid that my father will do the same as Cheng Dangjia." ”
"It turns out that Choi Sang will do the same. Cheng Dalei nodded lightly.
Cui Baiyu thought about it clearly, that Sun Xiaomao had no relatives and no reason in the army, and he was the best candidate to kill a hundred people, so why not kill him to gain the hearts of the people. Cheng Dalei didn't know what he was embarrassed about.
Cheng Dalei beckoned, and Xiangzhu handed over a cup of fragrant tea. Cheng Dalei held the teacup in his hand, but he didn't drink it, and thought for a while and said, "Ling Zun...... What kind of person is he?"
Cui Baiyu was stunned: "Why did Cheng Dangjia ask this?"
"Let's talk about it, I suddenly want to find out. ”
Cui Baiyu thought seriously for a while and said: "As Bai Yu met in his life, there are two people I can't see through the most, and one of them is my father. ”
"What about the other one?" Cheng Dalei was piqued with curiosity.
"The other is Cheng Dangjia. ”
Cheng Dalei touched his nose and said, "How can I be on a par with Cui Xiang, don't mention me, talk about Ling Zun, what kind of road does the old man have?"
Cui Baiyu said: "If in the eyes of outsiders, my father is just an ordinary old man, who can go all the way to today, one is willing to do things, and the other is willing to do everything." ”
Cheng Dalei nodded: "Dare to be the first and persevere, it is indeed a necessary quality for those who achieve great things, and what about others, does Ling Zun have any friends?"
Cui Baiyu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The world is so big, who is qualified to be friends with my father." ”
Cheng Dalei didn't know what was in his heart, and said casually: "Then Ling Zun must be very lonely in this life." ”
A sentence touched Cui Baiyu's mind, and she tried to recall her father's impression in her mind. is indeed an ordinary old man, but no one will underestimate him, and the old man's every move will affect the qi of the empire. landed in a silent place, but can strategize thousands of miles away.
Cui Baiyu has always been very afraid of Cui Xiang, and in her impression, Cui Xiang represents wisdom, strength, and silence. Unexpectedly, the first word that Cheng Dalei captured from his father turned out to be loneliness.
After the old man's wife died early, there was no renewal, there were many concubines in the family, and there were women everywhere who were filial to him. Cui Baiyu is actually a concubine, if it weren't for her beauty and wisdom, her status in the family would not be high.
My father had many women in his life, but if anyone could have a heart with him, I am afraid that there would be none. As for the children and grandchildren, the elderly are also strategic, and no one can be allowed to sit on the throne.
This is still the case for his own children and grandchildren, not to mention the attached family and the high-ranking Li royal family.
The father in my memory has been sitting in that dim study, controlling the strategy, knowing people, and driving away the wolf...... These doorways fathers are very transparent. The world is so big, it is estimated that no one knows what the old man thinks.
But if it weren't for Cheng Dalei nodding his head, Cui Baiyu would probably not have thought of it for the rest of his life. The wise old man sitting in the study was indeed a little lonely.
Cui Xiang was under one person, above tens of thousands of people, and there were several people kneeling in front of him. Such an old man naturally enjoys the wealth of the world. But ordinary people in the field restaurant, the fun of bragging and farting with old friends, he is afraid that he will not be able to enjoy it in his life.
