Chapter 502

Xiangyang City, west of the city.

In an ordinary house, there are a pair of people in black on patrol. These people in black, each with a cold face and sharp eyes, are brave and sharp dead men.

There are four middle-aged people sitting in the hall.

The leader is a middle-aged man in his early 40s.

This man's appearance is somewhat similar to Cai Mao's.

His name is Cai Zheng, the elder brother of CAI Mao. In the past, after Cai maomou was killed, the Cai family was wiped out overnight. But Cai Zheng was not in the Cai family at that time, so he escaped.

After returning to Xiangyang, Cai Zheng went into anonymity, and then quietly gathered the scattered people of the Cai family.

Today, Cai Zheng has gathered some people around him.

There are nearly a thousand private soldiers under his command.

But these 1000 people are not gathered together, but scattered in various shops.

At the bottom of the hall, there were three people who were in charge.

All three of them are from the Cai family.

According to their age, they are Cai Yan, Cai Yu and Cai Feng.

Cai Zheng looked at the three men and said: "originally, Liu Xiuding settled Jingzhou and seized Jiaozhou. His power was growing stronger and stronger day by day. In my lifetime, I was desperate and had no intention of revenge. Now, however, Liu Xiu has killed himself. He wants to census the population and investigate the details of Jingzhou's major families. This is an opportunity. "

When Cai Feng was in his early 30s, his eyes narrowed and his eyes twinkled with coldness. He said, "brother, this is a rare opportunity. It's a pity if you miss it. So I'm in favor of doing it this time. "

"How to do it?"

Cai Yu looks thin and scholarly.

Among them, Cai Yu is the thinnest, but he has a heavy weight in his speech, because he is the military adviser among the four. Most of the problems are solved by Cai Yu.

Cai Yan said: "we can naturally succeed by directly uniting people from different families."

Cai Yu said, "what if the union fails and the defendant is sent out instead?"

Cai Zheng said, "third brother, what should you do this time?"

Cai Zheng also has a lot of trust in Cai Yu. With the help of Cai Yu, Cai Zheng was able to win over the scattered people of the Cai family with his own prestige.

After listening, Cai Yu was silent.

It's half a sound. I didn't speak.

Cai Zheng, Cai Yan and Cai Feng were all waiting quietly, not in a hurry.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, Cai Yucai raised his eyes and habitually took a cup of tea from the desk. This action made Cai Zheng and other people's eyes bright. Every time Cai Yu thought clearly, he habitually drank tea.

Obviously, Cai Yu has a plan.

Cai Zheng asked, "third brother, what do you say to do?"

Cai Yu groped for the teacup and said slowly, "if you want to kill Liu Xiu, you have to start from the most critical place. This time, we will unite the pangs and the Huangs. "

"Ah

After hearing this, Cai Feng couldn't help exclaiming: "third brother, the Pang family and the Huang family are Liu Xiu's confidants."

"Wrong!"

Cai Yu shook his head and said, "it's Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan. They are Liu Xiu's confidants."

Cai Zheng said: "third brother, don't play tricks, just say it."

Cai Yu said slowly: "it is unrealistic to contact the Kuai family, because in the process of Liu Xiu's rise, Kuai Liang became Liu Xiu's confidant, and Kuai Yue became the prefect of Wuling county. It can be said that the Kuai family made a lot of money. This time Liu Xiu wants to check the population of the aristocratic family, and the Kuai family will cooperate even if they are angry. "

"The situation of Pang family and Huang family is very different."

"On the way to Liu Xiu's rise, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan gave Liu Xiu all kinds of support, and Pang family and Huang family gave too much to Liu Xiu. But on the other hand, what did the pangs and Huangs get? It's only Pang Tong who serves as a military adviser. The rest is not worth mentioning. "

Cai Yu looked confident and said: "last time Liu Xiu set up examination questions to attract talents. With the help of Pang family and Huang family, the assessment went smoothly."

"The establishment of lumen Academy was promoted by Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan."

"With the establishment of lumen academy, Liu Xiu has gained countless benefits, but what about the Pang family and the Huang family? On the one hand, it was resisted by the aristocratic family. On the other hand, it was a loss business. It paid too much but didn't get any

Cai Yuding said: "Pang Degong selflessly supports Liu Xiu, but the pangs don't think so. The people of Pang family need interests and get enough benefits. However, this time Liu Xiu did a census of the population, and he made another dent in the Pang family. "

"Today's Pang family has accumulated enough anger."

"It only needs a fuse to ignite the anger of the Pang family and make them rebel against Liu Xiu."

Cai Yu laughed and said, "what we need to do now is to light this fuse and then contact the Pang family. The same is true for the Huang family. Brother, I think about the next plan like this ，”The whole plan is told by Cai Yu.

Detailed plans, all of them.

After hearing this, Cai Zheng had a bright smile on his face. The wrinkles on his face were all stretched out. He said with a smile, "there is a third younger brother's advice. This time we will win against Liu Xiu."

With a serious look on his face, Cai Yu said: "such a thing can only be done once, only winning is allowed, not losing. If we fail, we will be exposed. In the search of the royal guards under Liu Xiu, it will be quite difficult for us to hide. "

Cai Zheng said, "don't worry, third brother. I'll arrange this properly. We have a lot of patience. We've been waiting for such a long time. Are we still in a hurry? "

Cai Yu nodded. He was afraid that Cai Zheng would upset his plan.

……

Pang family, residence.

Pang Degong sat high above, while Pang Tong and Pang Lin sat at the bottom.

In addition, there are also the principal members of each branch of the Pang family.

Pang Degong looked at everyone. At this time, one of the pangs' personal expressions was quite dignified. Everyone has heard about the need to thoroughly investigate the population. For a family, it's just like cutting meat.

The more people there are hidden, the less taxes the aristocratic family can pay.

Once all the statistics are clear, the burden of the aristocratic family will be heavier, so the Pang family have complaints.

On the left side of the hall, an old man with a white head said, "master, the Pang family has given Liu Xiu enough. No matter what period it is, Pang's family is full of support. Now that Liu Xiu has gained momentum, he is going to fight against the pangs. Can you tell me about it? It's not authentic to cross the river like this. "

The speaker's name was Pang min, and he was Pang's uncle according to his seniority.

Among the principal members of the Pang family, Pang Min has the highest seniority.

"Uncle, it's just a thorough investigation of the population. It's not a big deal. In the long run, on the one hand, Pang family has made great achievements in lumen academy, while Shiyuan has taken root around Liu Xiu. As long as Liu Xiu achieves great achievements, the Pang family's benefits will far exceed what they pay today. At that time, the future of the Pang family was not limited to Jingzhou, but the whole Han Dynasty. "

Pang Min said, "it's all about thinking. Who knows the future. Master, I don't want to. This is a huge blow to the Pang family and our branches. "

Facing Pang Degong, Pang min chose to refute.

"Master, yes, we can't do that. Once we've all let go, isn't the Pang family going to be slaughtered by Liu Xiu? "

"Yes, I agree. Liu Xiu can't be allowed to do anything."

"I also agree that Liu Xiu must be stopped, otherwise this case will be opened. What will we do in the future?"

Everyone in charge of the Pang family spoke one after another.

When you look at me, all of them are refutations.

Pang Degong's eyes narrowed and he looked at the Pang family. His eyes flashed a thoughtful look, and he said: "I've decided about the census. I don't need to discuss it any more. If anyone dares to resist, don't blame me for driving him out of the house. "

The strong words made everyone silent.

In Pang's family, pound has enough prestige to make people dare not speak.

Pang min looks at the other people in the hall. His eyes flow. After several people look at each other, their faces are thoughtful. After nodding their heads slightly, they have reached an agreement.
