Chapter 416 The Banquet in Front of the Hall and the Knife in the Back of the Hall
Lang Wuxu sneered: "This is naturally An Guogong's scheming. Every time the account is reconciled, Hu Bufan's account book will be handed over to An Guogong's hand, and the fingerprint is stamped to make sure that the account book is indeed from Hu Bufan's hand, although it claims that the account book will be burned and destroyed after verification, but ...... Hehe, I don't think it's going to be destroyed. These account books with Hu Bufan's handprints were held in An Guogong's hands, and in fact they became a sharp weapon to choke Hu Bufan's throat, and Hu Bufan had no other way to go, but to be at the mercy of An Guogong. After a pause, he said: "An Guogong's use of people has always been a combination of grace and power, which will not only give his officials great benefits, but also seize the handle of these people, Hu Bufan must also know that the account book may not really be destroyed, but since he is under the subordinates of An Guogong, he can only do things according to An Guogong's wishes." ”
"I see." Chu Huan understood, thought for a while, and asked, "Who is the Xuanzhen Dao Sect you are talking about?" ”
"That's Si Tiantai's Dao Sect." Lang Wuxuan explained: "Daoist Xuanzhen is the head of the Immortal Dao, he entered the palace four years ago and cured the holy ......!" Seeing Chu Huan frowning, he seemed puzzled, and said: "You don't know, four years ago, the last time the saint hunted, he suddenly fell off the horse, he couldn't speak, and he was in a coma for a few days, the situation at that time was very dangerous, the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital were helpless, Xu Congyang Xu University came up with an idea, let people post a list to find a doctor, the list was only posted for a few days, this Xuanzhen Taoist priest recommended himself to enter the palace, it is strange to say, this Taoist priest let the saint take a few pills, and the saint's symptoms will all be cured. Xuanzhen Taoist priest saved the saint, naturally got the weight of the saint, stayed in the palace for a few days, I heard that the Xuanzhen Taoist priest was talking about the way of immortality to the saint, less than half a month, the saint set up Si Tiantai, and named Xuanzhen as the Taoist sect of Si Tiantai. Speaking of this, he sighed lightly: "Since then, Xuanzhen Taoist Sect has become the most dependent person on the Holy Lord, since ancient times, the palace is a forbidden place, but the Holy Heavenly Palace has set up the Palace Purple Jade Hall as the Si Tiantai Yamen, Xuanzhen Taoist Sect led a group of Taoist priests, is to serve the Holy in the Purple Jade Palace, and the Holy Lord has since begun, and the Holy Lord has also begun to devote himself to cultivation and seek eternal life." ”
Chu Huan actually knew for a long time that the emperor favored Taoist priests and devoted himself to cultivation, but he never understood why His Majesty the Emperor, who was very good at martial arts at the beginning, suddenly abandoned state affairs and devoted himself to the Tao when the empire was prosperous?
Listening to Lang Wuxuan say this today, I vaguely understood the reason.
The emperor's cultivation was actually caused by an accident.
Hunting fell off the horse, and a sickness, for His Majesty the Emperor, after the fact must have made him rethink the subject of life, he crisscrossed the battlefield, dominated the world, and made great achievements in martial arts, looking at the world, his life has reached its peak, the power is incomparable, money and beauty are at his fingertips, to that point, he has very few things to pursue.
Falling off the horse and being injured, the blow to the emperor must have been very heavy, and Xuanzhen Daozong appeared at the right time, using the pills refined by the Taoist family to make the emperor recover quickly, and in the conversation with the emperor, it naturally involved the way of immortality pursued by the Taoists, and at that moment, the weight of the emperor's life finally had the ultimate pursuit of immortality that could arouse his enthusiasm again---- immortality!
Although Chu Huan was not very sure of the emperor's mentality, he believed that the reason for the emperor's cultivation was probably the case.
Seeing that Chu Huan was silent, Lang Wuxuan didn't know what Chu Huan was thinking, so he called softly, Chu Huan came back to his senses, and finally smiled: "Lord Shilang, once you succeed this time, the biggest hero to bring down Hu Bufan will be you, and King Qi will naturally believe in your loyalty." ”
Lang Wuxuan frowned and said, "Lord Chu, you don't really want to play the red and silver book, right?" ”
Chu Huan smiled: "Great opportunity, why not seize it?" ”
The corners of Lang Wuxu's eyes twitched, and he waved his hand and said, "Lord Chu, I also had a sudden idea today, but after thinking about it carefully, it is almost impossible to get the red and silver book. I know this reason even if I don't say it. Leaned closer and said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and if I want to bring down Hu Bufan, we have to continue to wait for the opportunity!" ”
"Squire-sama thinks this is impossible?" Chu Huan smiled and said: "But Xia Guan confirms that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, miss this great opportunity, and the next opportunity will have to wait for half a year!" ”
Lang Wuxuan saw that although Chu Huan was laughing, his expression was very serious, and he said in surprise: "Chu ...... Brother Chu Xian, you won't ...... You're not really ready to do it, are you? Grabbing Chu Huan's hand, he said nervously: "It's very small, there is little hope!" ”
Chu Huan still smiled and said in a low voice: "Things do seem to be difficult, but with Lord Shilang, things are much simpler. ”
Lang Wuxuan hurriedly said: "Brother Chu Xian, it's not that I don't help, I'm ...... I also knew that there was such a thing, but in fact, I can't do it, and neither can martial arts, and it's difficult for other places to help. ”
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Lord Shilang is modest, this time, without the help of Lord Shilang, it will never be possible." He said with a pleasant face: "This time, the lower officials are willing to assist Lord Shilang and do a great thing!" ”
Lang Wuxuan is a spirit, hearing Chu Huan say this, it seems that he wants to take the lead in this matter.
"Lord Shilang and Hu Bufan have always been close, so there are some things that need the guidance of Lord Shilang." Chu Huan lowered his voice and said, "Lord Shilang must know the terrain in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion. ”
"This ......!" Lang Wuxu began to hesitate.
"In the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, there must be guards, does Lord Shilang know the time of rotation inside? Are you clear about some of Hu Bufan's daily habits? Chu Huan's expression began to become serious: "Outside the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, how is the patrol situation on the streets?" What is the location of the guards in the house? In addition, I also have to ask Lord Shilang to draw a map, a topographical map of the Tobe Shangshu Mansion, which must be detailed and must not have the slightest omission! ”
Lang Wuxu's eyes flashed: "Brother Chu Xian, do you want to sneak into Shangshu Mansion to steal the red and silver book?" Feeling that what he said was a little inappropriate, he hurriedly said, "Do you want to think twice?" This...... It's too hasty, and even if you know this, what's the use of not knowing where the red and silver books are? You don't know where the red and silver books are, it's all in vain! ”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and the voice of the white blind man came: "My lord, several lords of the household have arrived!" ”
Chu Huan responded and said, "First invite a few adults to have tea in the living room!" He lowered his voice and said to Lang Wuxu: "Lord Shilang, the arrow is on the string, I have to send it, I need your help this time!" ”
……
……
Wang Fu and the others did things for Chu Huan, it was quite hard, the elegant hall was very grandiose, and the four household judges were sitting in the elegant hall at this time, and someone had already brought tea.
The first time they went to the mansion, they only saw a few burly men waiting, which was a little strange, after all, Chu Huan was the head of the four-grade household department, and he couldn't see a maid at home, which was a very strange thing, and it didn't actually cost much silver to buy a girl in Beijing.
A few people drank tea, still a little restrained, and they didn't talk much at first, and then they began to talk about some old things about the old owner of this mansion, the prince of the country.
didn't wait too long, Chu Huan was the first to come out, and said with a smile: "You have been waiting for a long time, accompanying Lord Lang to taste tea, delaying some time, don't blame you!" ”
Everyone got up one after another, they didn't even dare to say it, they all picked up the prepared gifts and presented them, Chu Huan said repeatedly: "You are too polite, I want you to take care of you in the future, and let you break the bank, I'm really embarrassed!" But he didn't refuse, and motioned to the white blind man to accept the gift, and then sat down and said, "The family is shabby, let you laugh." There is no cook in the house, and I can't neglect you, so I ordered wine and food from a restaurant outside, don't dislike it! ”
"What do you say?" A judge laughed and said: "The poverty in the adult's house is tight, and he is really a model for my generation!" ”
The crowd echoed.
"Lord Shirou is still making his own tea." Chu Huan smiled and said, "Let's talk first, and wait for Lord Shilang to come over." There is no singing or dancing tonight, but I have the heart to get together with you, so I eagerly invite you over, and when the chefs in the house are ready, I will invite you to come to the cold house for a gathering. The most important thing today is to drink a lot, let's get drunk before resting! ”
Seeing Chu Huan and Yan Yuese, several judges all smiled and nodded, and said, "I haven't seen the amount of alcohol of adults, and I am about to learn today!" ”
The elegant hall was chatting and laughing for a while, and when they were talking, Lang Wuxu finally came in with sweat, and everyone hurriedly saluted, Lang Wuxu glanced at Chu Huan a little nervously, and quickly concealed his nervousness, and returned the salute to everyone.
The wine sent today can be called a first-class good wine in the capital, and the price is expensive, and it is actually sent several large jars, all of which are ten catties of large jars.
The coachman and his entourage, who came with several judges, were arranged to another courtyard, accompanied by Wang Fu and two Wu Jingwei, and the wine and food were also average, very rich.
Lang Wuxu seems to have something on his mind, but he is also a person who has passed through the world, so he hides it well, and after a while, the scene begins to stagger, laughing and laughing.
On weekdays, everyone has little personal relationship with Chu Huan, but today at the wine table, I found that Chu Huan had witty words, and many things he said were very fresh, and the wine order initiated was also extremely peculiar.
After three rounds of drinking, several judges' eyes began to straighten when they spoke, their faces were red, Chu Huan seemed to be drunk, and it didn't take long for several judges to fall drunk on the wine table one by one, and some people even lay on the wine table and snored.
Lang Wuxuan was a little surprised, and said in a low voice: "Judge Sun's alcohol consumption doesn't seem to be bad, why did he get drunk so quickly?" ”
Chu Huan was originally drunk, and it seemed that he was about to fall down at any time, but after the four judges got drunk one by one, the confused look in his eyes began to become clear, and he smiled softly and said, "Sometimes it's not difficult to make others drunk!" He asked the blind white man, who had been waiting by him, "What time is it?" ”
"It's almost time!"
Lang Wuxu smiled, grabbed Lang Wuxu's arm, and said with a smile: "Lord Lang, let's go to the back to have a cup of tea and sober up!" I couldn't help but say, pulling Lang Wuxu to the back, Lang Wuxu didn't react, but the white blind man had already grabbed Lang Wuxu's arms from behind, Lang Wuxu only felt that his arms seemed to be tied up by ropes, his expression changed greatly, and he struggled: "Chu Huan, Chu ...... Brother Chu Xian, what are you going to do here? ”
"Lord Squire, tonight's incident is not trivial, Chu is going to gamble with his life!" Chu Huan picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and watched the white blind man tie up Lang Wuxu, before he went over and picked up the rolled-up map on the table, opened it, and asked, "Lord Shilang, this is the topographic map of Shangshu Mansion?" Did you draw it wrong? ”
Lang Wuxuan had a calm face and said, "Brother Chu Xian, I don't know what you mean by this?" Why did you tie me up? Don't untie the rope yet. ”
"I've wronged Lord Squire, the rope will be untied, but not now." Chu Huan looked at the topographic map in his hand, his eyes were like electricity: "Tonight is done, Lord Shilang has a bright future in the future, otherwise...... Hehe, if Chu misses, it is likely that his life will not be guaranteed, and Lord Shilang will never watch my brother and me go on the road alone, right? ”
Lang Wuxu's face turned pale, and he exclaimed: "Brother Chu Xian, you ...... What are you doing here, we have something to say, you ...... Don't do anything foolish! The white blind man paid no attention to him, and with quick hands and feet, he tied Lang Wuxu's hands with two strokes, and pressed him to the chair very unceremoniously, took a thicker rope, and tied him to the chair.
Chu Huan didn't answer Lang Wuxuan's words first, but just memorized the map with his heart, the Hubu Shangshu Mansion is not small, and it is also a loss that Lang Wuxu has a close relationship with Hu Bufan, and he knows Hu Bufan's roots, and he has also gone to the Hubu Shangshu Mansion countless times, the map is very clear about the terrain of the Shangshu Mansion, Chu Huan looked at it for a moment, rolled up the map, put it in his arms, and then walked in front of Lang Wuxu and asked: "Lord Shilang, are you sure that this map is accurate?" ”
Lang Wuxuan couldn't imagine that Chu Huan would come back like this, his face was really a little ugly, and he said "um", looking very dissatisfied.
"Then what the lord just said to the lower official must be true?" Chu Huan asked softly: "The time on duty, and that Hu Shangshu likes to dance swords under the moon, there will be no mistakes, right?" ”
Lang Wuxuan smiled bitterly: "Naturally not, Brother Chu Xian, you still can't believe me?" I really want to be loyal to King Qi, and you treat me like this, which makes me really feel a little chilled! ”
"Don't be surprised, adults." Chu Huan said solemnly: "It's a matter of life, and you have to be cautious." After tonight, if what the adult said is not wrong, then from now on, the lower official guarantees that the king of Qi will trust the adult very much, but if what the adult says is wrong, it will ......! He glanced at the white blind man, the white blind man looked hideous, he had already taken out a dagger and put it on Lang Wuxu's neck, and Chu Huan said lightly: "Then Chu Huan can't come back, and adults can't go out!" ”
