In a grain and rice shop in Shu County, Lujiang, a group of people were surrounding an old man and pointing fingers, but the old man was unmoved at all. He looked at everyone and said, "Call your master, and Cai has something to ask him."

"Hahaha, it turns out that it is Cai Yong, a great scholar. Who did I have the courage to make trouble in my Zhu's food base?" A tall and thin man in brocade clothes stared at a pair of triangular eyes and came here with a group of domestic slaves. The middle-aged man in triangular eyes looked at Cai Yong on the setting sun and said something neither yin nor yang, without caring about Cai Yong's name at all.

"The head of the Zhu family, you are a family of Shu County, and you are very rich. Now the thief army is attacking the city outside the city. Shu County is in danger at this time. I hope the head of the Zhu family can reduce the price of grain so as not to cause unrest in the city." Cai Yong is not a pedantic person, and he was exiled because he offended the powerful and even had to come to the Wu land of Yangzhou because he was too strong. It has been several years since the Yang family took care of him. If it weren't for the Yang family's frequent care, Cai Yong's family would not have had a good life in Wu land.

Now that Yang Xu and others are on the battlefield, Cai Yongjue lamented the hardships of the common people's lives, and on the other hand, it was because Shu County was the place where Yang Xu was governed. He did not want too many changes in Shu County. Faced with the city's aristocratic families raising the price of grain, they could only take care of it.

However, after all, the food belongs to these aristocratic families, so it is difficult to get them to reduce the price. Even though the head of the Zhu family was rude, Cai Yong did not care too much, but instead asked in a low manner.

Facing Cai Yong's humble request, the middle-aged man surnamed Zhu disdained him. Triangle's eyes were full of jokes. He looked at Cai Yong and said, "At this time, I like to sell the food of my Zhu family as much as it is. What's wrong with you, Cai Yong? Because you are a great scholar, I won't bother with you about the troubles in my grain store this time, so why don't you get out of here."

Hearing the words of the head of the Zhu family, even if Cai Yong wanted to endure it, he couldn't help it. His face was covered with veins that were beating due to anger, and his face was ashen: "If this grain store does not lower the price, Cai will not leave."

"Haha, you dare to act harshly with me. Someone came to beat this old man out of me." The middle-aged man in Triangle looked gloomy when he heard Cai Yong's words and said viciously.

"No." Immediately, dozens of domestic slaves surrounded Cai Yong with sticks.

"Looking for death!" Just as dozens of domestic slaves were carrying sticks to hit Cai Yong, accompanied by a cold shout, dozens of gun lights passed through the crowd and headed towards the bodies of dozens of domestic slaves. Suddenly, dozens of people fell into a pool of blood.

When the middle-aged man in Triangle saw dozens of guns suddenly appear, dozens of slaves under his command were killed. His pupils shrank first, and then he reacted and shouted loudly at the crowd: "Who dares to kill my slaves from Zhu!"

"Some!" A thick voice sounded, and a young man came with a spear and a team of soldiers. When many onlookers saw that it was the government's soldiers, they immediately divided the road. Chen Dao brought the soldiers to the grain shop.

"I think it is, you Chen Dao again. Humph, you don't want your official position as Cao Shi." Seeing Chen Dao coming, the head of the Zhu family said with a harsh and cowardly appearance.

Hearing the words of the head of the Zhu family, Chen Dao looked disdainful in his face: "I was promoted by the prefect of Yang Xu. What can your family leader do to me? Isn't you leaving quickly? Could it be that I will take you into the cell?"

"What a good Chen Dao, please wait for the head of the family." Seeing Chen Dao's sarcastic look, he looked at the soldiers equipped with their soldiers behind Chen Dao. After the head of the Zhu family said something harsh, he left the place with his slaves.

After watching the Zhu family leave, Chen Daocai came to Cai Yong and greeted him: "Mr. Cai was frightened. The Zhu family is a big family in the city. Although it has retreated now, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no revenge. Let Chen send his husband home."

"Well, now the medieval family grain stores in the city are taking advantage of the opportunity to make profits. Cai is powerless. If Xingzu were here, he would not have made them so perverted." Cai Yong shook his head and sighed, following Chen Dao towards his house.

When I passed by a market, I saw an old man selling a paulownia tree.

The tangerine wood is several feet long. Because of its shortness and the food in the city is tight, people can't eat enough. How can they care about these woods? Therefore, even if the price is extremely cheap, no one cares about it. Cai Yong walked up to knock on the tangerine wood, and the rhythm was very loud. Cai Yong recognized that this was a good tangerine wood, which was of great value, but now it is cheap. After asking the old man, he learned that it was only because the price of grain in Shucheng soared, that the old man sold the tangerine wood.

Seeing the old man describing his thin appearance, Cai Yong took out money to buy the wood and headed towards his residence.

Cai Yong lives in a single-gate courtyard east of the outer city. Although the courtyard is not big, it is much better than the ordinary people.

After parting with Chen Dao and others outside the courtyard, Cai Yong entered the courtyard and found tools with the piece of paulownia wood, preparing to carve the paulownia wood into a guqin.

When Cai Yong was carving the guqin in the courtyard, Cai Yong's two daughters were with Cai Yong's side, talking nonsense.

As night fell, after the meal, Cai Yong and his daughter let the two girls rest, while they continued to carve the paulownia wood in their hands.

In the Zhu family mansion in the south of the city, the head of the Zhu family was still furious about the daytime affairs.

"Bang!"

A teapot was thrown to the ground by the head of the Zhu family, which scared the servants standing on both sides and left and right, and did not dare to say anything.

"Good you Chen Dao, you have ruined my good deeds many times. It's so outrageous. Don't want to destroy you." The head of the Zhu family said anger, but never thought of taking action at this time. After all, there are rebels outside the city, and Chen Dao, the wise and Cao Shi, also needed to help these families resist the rebels. Therefore, the head of the Zhu family also understood that this time was not the time to move Chen Dao.

If we talk about the most feared rebels in the city, they are naturally the aristocratic families. After all, once the rebels capture the city, they will need to plunder the large amount of food and grass from the aristocratic families. How many civilians can give the rebels?

"Since you can't move Chen Dao, then move Cai Yong. Humph, it's just offending the eunuchs. The person who fled to Wu for refuge, no matter what kind of great scholar he is, he will die if he provokes a certain Zhu family." The head of the Zhu family with triangular eyes looked ferocious on his face and said to the people around him: "Send a message to the guard commander and ask him to take someone to pacify the Cai Yong family. In addition, let him do it cleanly and don't find any flaws by others. After all, the other party is a famous scholar in the entire Han Dynasty. If it is found out, my Zhu family will not be very easy."

"No!" A servant hurriedly took the order and left.

Late at midnight, after several hours of production, Cai Yong finally made a guqin with paulownia wood.

The piano has seven strings, which are simple and elegant. Cai Yong tried the tone and suddenly realized that the tone was excellent. Just when he was about to name the guqin, a group of men in black appeared in the shadow outside the courtyard. He came outside the courtyard and threw torches into various parts of the courtyard, and then disappeared into the street.

Suddenly, the entire courtyard was shining into the sky. A figure led two little girls to open the gate and ran out of the courtyard in a panic. Looking at the courtyard that was trapped in the fire, there was a look of fear in his eyes.

The fire in the city quickly alarmed the civilians in the city. Chen Dao, who was guarding the East City, also learned that the fire in Cai Yong's family had rushed over with his men. After seeing that Cai Yong's family was safe and sound, Chen Dao saw that the courtyard had turned into ashes, so he took Cai Yong to the place where he lived.

The sudden fire in Cai Yong's family came very strangely. According to what Cai Yong said, someone threw a large number of torches into the Cai family's courtyard, the two of them together may have done it by the Zhu family. However, there is no evidence at present, and they cannot take advantage of the other party's aristocratic family. Chen Dao could only send more troops to protect the safety of Cai Yong and others.

After Chen Dao's family settled down, Cai Yong looked at the guqin in his hand and felt a little distressed. The originally simple and elegant guqin appeared at the end.

Looking at the guqin in his hand, Cai Yong tried to play it for a while, and the tone became more mellow, which made Cai Yong overjoyed.

"The tail is charred, so why not just call it Jiaoweiqin."
