Chapter 167: Emergency
"I see, who else knows about this? How did you find out? Chu Junlan's heart was heavy, but his face was very calm.
Seemingly affected by Chu Junlan's calmness, Liang Hui was also a little less flustered, and replied in a low voice: "The master previously instructed the little one to buy some things for Aunt Lu, but he didn't follow the master all the time. Because of the recent banquet of 100 officials, the lord said that he would take the small one to go, and the small one was afraid of losing the dignity of the lord, so he specially went to change into a robe, and came to the banquet to find the lord and did not see it, so he went to the study room in the outer courtyard, who knew that he pushed the door ......"
Liang Hui shook his body, and said in a low voice: "The room is full of smoke, the little one opened the window to ventilate with a sigh of relief, and when he got to the side, the master, Aunt Wang and the second lady all fell, and the master was only wearing a middle coat, and the clothes, hats and waist tags used to enter the palace were gone." ”
Chu Junlan's heart became heavier and heavier.
Today's banquet of 100 officials, is the tradition of the Yong Dynasty for many years, the emperor will be in the Hongfeng Mountain halfway up the Fushou Garden banquet banquet 100 officials, in Beijing Fan more than five officials are invited, many courtiers can make friends at the banquet, and have the opportunity to toast with the emperor in person.
How much honor is it to be able to toast the emperor?
But if someone gets mixed in, how big of a crisis is it?
Chu Junlan couldn't imagine what someone would do if someone pretended to be Chu Cailiang and arrived at the Hundred Officials Banquet!
Liang Hui said again: "When the little one arrives at the study, the doors and windows are closed, and no one should have been there to look at the appearance of the room." Third Miss, what should I do now? ”
"You don't have to panic, just follow me and help me, don't talk to anyone about this."
"Yes."
"Now you go over there and whisper to my eldest brother to come out, and say that I have something to discuss with him, and you must not alarm anyone, and do not show any panic."
"Yes." Liang Hui took a deep breath, sorted out his mood, and then walked to the other side with a slightly faster pace.
Not long after, Chu Huating and Liang Hui came to a secluded place outside the door.
Chu Junlan and Liang Hui complemented each other and informed Chu Huating of the matter, and Chu Huating's face immediately changed greatly.
"It's not good, someone pretending to be his father to participate in the banquet of hundreds of officials, there will definitely be a big mess! What is this man going to do! Isn't it the intention of assassinating the king to kill! ”
Liang Hui's legs were weak and he almost couldn't stand steadily.
Chu Huating also broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.
There is a huge court, and not every official knows each other. If Chu Cailiang really went, he didn't know many Shangguan, and he could only be with those he was familiar with. But this person who pretended to be Chu Cailiang went, even if the rest of the officials didn't recognize him, no one would suspect that this person was impersonating, because it was normal for them not to know each other.
Once this person makes a big mess, steals, assassinates, or even assassinates the holy driver, the Chu family will fall into a situation from which they will never recover, and the Chu family may be beheaded all over the house, and even their relatives will be killed!
"Big brother, I can only find a way to catch up at the moment and try to intercept people at the entrance of Fushouyuan."
"Yes. What you said is that it's just the strength of you and me, and a long time has passed, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with people outside Fushou Garden. Chu Huating quickly calmed down, his eyes were deep, his temperament was calm, and his shoulders and back were straight like a green pine.
"Liang Hui, you go back to the study in the outer courtyard now, close the door of the study, no lights are allowed in the house, guard the master, Aunt Wang and the second miss, they are not allowed to publicize after they wake up, wait for my news."
Liang Hui nodded and hesitated: "Don't you ask for a doctor for the master?" ”
"Even if it's a smoke, it won't kill you for a while, what's the most important thing at the moment, don't you need me to say more?"
Chu Huating's eyes were extremely oppressive, and Liang Hui, who was bluffing, trembled all over, and nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, eldest young master, the little one knows that this matter involves the lives of all the Chu family, and the little one will go immediately. Even if someone breaks into the small one, they won't open the door to the study! ”
"Well, I'll thank you again after that." Chu Huating eased his complexion and smiled to reassure.
Liang Hui rushed out quickly.
When Chu Junlan saw the eldest brother's way of acting, he couldn't help but approve in his heart, and said in a low voice: "The eldest brother has broken up Liang Hui, but there is a wonderful method?" ”
Chu Huating said with a straight face: "Lan Lan, do you know the officials of Dongchang, Jinyiwei and Jinggiwei?" "The three people who picked him up from the Huangzhuang last time, Chu Huating still remembers it vividly.
Chu Junlan shook his head and said, "I don't know them well, but I know the people who can instruct them to run errands." ”
Chu Huating's eyes rolled: "Father-in-law Cao? ”
"Big brother is smart."
"Good. Lan Lan, let's go and see Gonggong Cao immediately, explain the matter, and ask him to help us go to Fushouyuan to stop people. ”
Chu Junlan lowered his eyes and thought about it, and immediately nodded: "Okay, this matter is a big matter, it's not easy to spread the news, now that the banquet is not over, let's suddenly walk away, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, I will go and ask the prince to help the second uncle treat guests first." ”
"It's okay, the prince has a noble status, and he is the future son-in-law of our family, and he will not neglect the guests."
The brother and sister quietly called Xiao Xu out again.
Xiao Xu had long been paying attention to Chu Junlan and Chu Huating's movements, and when he saw their faces, he knew that something was wrong.
"What happened? What can I do for you? ”
Chu Junlan's heart warmed when he heard this, and he said in a low voice: "It's inconvenient for me to say the details, now that my eldest brother and I are going out, I need to ask my second uncle to stay and entertain guests." ”
Xiao Xu pursed his lips, and there was a flash of loss in his eyes, but he still nodded and said, "Okay." ”
"As for me going out with Lan Lan, if anyone asks......"
"I will say that the eldest brother is unwell, and Junlan will take care of it." Xiao Xu said seriously.
Chu Huating nodded with a smile and patted Xiao Xu's shoulder: "Thank you." ”
Xiao Xu shook his head: "No need. ”
Chu Junlan and Chu Huating immediately rushed to the outside of the house, at this time Chu Huating was so anxious that he couldn't take care of his legs, and when he came to the outer courtyard, the two of them led a horse. Chu Huating stepped on horseback, he was proficient in the six arts, and his riding skills were naturally not weak, Chu Junlan flew on the horse, and his movements were also chic and neat.
The brother and sister took advantage of the curfew at the time of the curfew, rode their horses and whips, and went straight to Cao Qin's private house in the outer city.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the gatekeeper of Caofu had just eaten, covered his mouth and yawned, when he heard a polite knock on the door.
The porter was very experienced, opened the door, greeted respectfully and politely, raised his eyes and saw that it was Chu Junlan, and his smile increased a little: "It turned out to be Miss Chu." ”
"Can the old ancestor be at home?"
"Here, here, the villain will let people pass the word, and the ancestors will be happy when they know that you are coming." The porter led their brother and sister into the house with a smile, and his attitude towards Chu Huating was also very respectful: "This son, please." ”
Chu Huating smiled and thanked him, and admired Cao Qin a little more in his heart. The servants follow the master, and the little porter treats people so thoughtfully, which shows that Cao Qin's old fritters are a dripping character.
This time, if Cao Qin refused to help for the sake of being alone, what should they do?
