Volume 1: Born to be a Masterpiece Chapter 177: Huyang Turmoil
Huyang City.
In front of Sun Dai's mansion, there are lights and lights, gongs and drums, and guests coming and going.
"Thank you colleagues, I came to attend my mother's birthday in my busy schedule, my grandson is really honored! ha......"
"Lord Sun, congratulations, congratulations!"
"Congratulations to Mrs. Sun on her birthday! Mr. Sun is going to have a drink with us today!"
"Yes, please take a seat!"
“......”
The grandson wore a string of red knots in front of him, and stood at the door to greet the guests.
Although he smiled on the surface, his eyes were on the two servants next to him from time to time, who were retracting the invitation.
The outside of the invitation was wrapped in a layer of pale gold paper, and after it was opened, the real invitation inside could be seen.
It is divided into two kinds: one is a big red paper with the word "please" written on it. The other is light red paper, with the word "invite" written on it.
The treatment is also different for people holding different invitations.
They are very strict about the screening of invitations.
The people holding the red "invite" stickers were uniformly placed in the main house, while the few people holding the "invite" stickers secretly entered the side courtyard under the guidance of several domestic servants, and they didn't know what wishful thinking was behind their backs.
"A few of you, stay here first, and when the banquet begins, you will be entertained with good wine and food, and if anyone asks about me, they will say that they are ill, and go to rest first, understand?
After a while, Sun Dai gave a special order to the servants, and then looked around vigilantly, and was about to go to the side courtyard.
At this moment, a low voice suddenly came from not far away: "Yo! Isn't this Lord Sun Daisun......?" I see that most of the people you invited to the banquet were your colleagues, but why didn't you invite me? Do you look down on me Liao?"
A carriage came galloping and stopped in front of the Sun Mansion.
The coachman in front lifted the curtain, and the person in the car was none other than Liao Qianzhong.
Seeing this, Sun Dai's face changed for a moment, but he was also a scheming person, and he quickly recovered, greeted him with a low smile, and said, "It turned out to be Master Liao...... To tell the truth, today is the birthday of the old mother in the family. A few days ago, Xia Guan sent out a post, and he also sent it to your mansion, but who knew that Master Liao was not at home for a few days, so he ...... Hehe, don't blame Master Liao, the lower official will give you a new invitation. ”
Sun Dai accompanied the smiling face, but in his heart, he scolded Liao Qianzhong fiercely, and said in his heart, didn't this guy go out of the city to run errands a few days ago? Why did he come back at this juncture......
It's a bad time!
In this Huyang City, if He Yi is not there, then his top boss is only Gongliangju, Pei Dong and Liao Qianzhong.
Gong Liangju is a humble gentleman, accustomed to solving everything in the open, although he is wise, but he never disdains to play any tricks, so he does not need to be guarded.
And Pei Dong is just a martial artist in Sun Dai's eyes, and he is not afraid at all.
Only this Liao Qian ...... It really made Sun Dai extremely taboo.
On the surface, he looks loyal and honest, but if he is really ruthless, it is much more vicious than the methods of all the people he has ever seen......
The most important thing is that Sun Dai knew that Liao Qian had a friend named Du Dao, who was a powerful cultivator......
Therefore, even if he was given 10,000 guts, he would not dare to touch the mold in Liao's money. Even if you can't deal with yourself in the open, you can stab yourself in the back......
"I don't think there's any need for this! Who knows if you're sending a letter or a letter? This official is busy with affairs, but he is not as idle as Lord Sun!" Liao Qianzhong snorted, his eyes cut Sun Dai like a sharp knife, and then stepped off the carriage, walked straight to a stall on the side, and sneered: "This official is just here to eat a bowl of yang noodles! I don't know, I think you've done something wrong!"
After that, he really sat down at the stall, ordered the guy to bring a bowl of white noodles, and while staring at Sun Dai coldly, he began to gobble down the noodles and make a loud noise.
After cleaning up the ruins for a day, running around to command and dispatch, he was indeed very hungry. If Gongliangju hadn't urgently summoned him back from outside the city, he wouldn't even have a bowl of noodles to eat......
"This ......"
In front of so many colleagues around, Liao Qianzhong ridiculed a few words, and Sun Dai was very embarrassed and pestle in place.
Neither in nor out, let alone speak against Liao Qianzhong.
It looked like swallowing a live fly, and it was as uncomfortable as it was.
"Since Master Liao still has important matters, then the lower official will greet the other guests first......"
Sun Dai secretly only clenched his fists, and as he spoke, he turned around, and the depths of those eyes flashed with a vicious light.
"Wait, I'll finish you all right now!" Sun Dai roared resentfully in his heart.
............
A bowl of white noodles, Liao Qianzhong was sweating profusely.
Since following He Yi and receiving the official title of Huyang City, his material has become a little rounder, especially the part of his belly, when he is relaxed, it is like a woman who is six months pregnant.
Coupled with his rather honest face, it looks like a living Maitreya Buddha.
Throwing down the chopsticks, Liao Qianzhong patted his belly with satisfaction, but he didn't leave, and asked the guy for a second bowl of yang noodles, and then made a look with the driver who was driving.
The coachman nodded, and then began to wave his whip lightly.
It may seem casual, but the gesture implies regularity, as if it is sending some kind of signal to someone......
Soon after, there were several crisp and pleasant bird calls in the distance.
The coachman's face also changed, and he quickly walked to Liao Qianzhong's side and whispered in his ear: "My lord, things have changed. The brothers below didn't really blend into the Sun Mansion...... The newspaper said that Sun Dai sent two different invitations, and a group of people were secretly sent by him to the side courtyard. The guards there are very strict, and there is no way for the brothers to sneak in for the time being......"
This coachman is the newspaper leader of the newspaper system created by Liao Qianzhong, who is specifically responsible for monitoring these old officials in Huyang.
This group of them is proficient in ventriloquism, disguise skills, and is very good at disguise, often pretending to be all kinds of inconspicuous servants, and infiltrating the mansions of all large and small officials in Huyang.
Of course, Sun Dai also has it in the mansion, but this guy is obviously on guard.
This shows that something unseemly is going on inside......
"Didn't get in?
Liao Qianzhong frowned, glared at the coachman with a little reproach, and said in a low voice: "Can't you even distinguish such a thing as an invitation?
"It's the fault of his subordinates!" the coachman hurriedly admitted his dereliction of duty and whispered, "It was also Sun Dai who left a hand, and when he sent the invitation, he wrapped another layer of gold paper outside, and the brothers were careless for a while, so they ......."
"Okay, okay, I don't have to blame you...... Pay attention to things in the future, and don't lose the face of our Wantongmen in front of the lord!Go, contact the other brothers, and within half an hour, no matter what, we must find a way to get in!" Liao Qianzhong said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" the coachman replied, and hurriedly trotted away.
............
As more and more guests came and went, Sun Dai's mansion soon became bustling.
Liao Qianzhong sat on the stall outside the door, slowly ate two bowls of white noodles, and did not leave, his eyes kept staring at the inside of Sun's mansion, with a faint sneer on his face, as if he wanted to see some clues.
The reason why he came here to eat noodles was to divert the attention of Sun Dai and others to himself.
In this way, his people had the opportunity to take advantage of the weakness and blend into the side courtyard.
"What does this Liao Qianzhong want to do? Could it be that he has already discovered that our plan has failed?"
Sun Dai hid inside the gate, glancing out from time to time, wanting to wait for Liao Qianzhong to leave after the meal.
But what made him helpless was that Liao Qianzhong ate two bowls of noodles in a row, but he still had no intention of leaving, and asked the guy for a pot of sake, and he drank it without a sip.
Gradually, Sun Dai saw sweat on his forehead, and he only felt uncertain.
That Liao Qianzhong's eyes have been locked on him, if he abandons the guests at the banquet and directly enters the side courtyard, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of the other party.
There are more and more guests in the main courtyard, but there are fewer and fewer guests outside the door, and the people invited by Sun Dai have basically arrived.
Not long after, a servant in Tsing Yi came over and whispered in Sun Dai's ear: "My lord, this person has already arrived, but Master Liao is not leaving, look at us......"
"You go to the side courtyard to settle your colleagues first, I will entertain the guests of the main mansion first, and then I will talk about it when Liao Qianzhong leaves!" Sun Dai waved his hand irritably, without even looking at him, his eyes were always on Liao Qianzhong.
"Yes, sir. The servant bowed.
While bending down, his gaze was also aimed in the direction of Liao Qianzhong, nodded very vaguely, and then quickly walked to the path leading to the side yard.
"Hmph, let's see what tricks you can play, let's go!"
Seeing that his brother had successfully infiltrated the side courtyard, Liao Qian Zhongzhong Dading, but on the surface, he pretended to be impatient, glared at Sun Dai with a scolding glare, returned to the carriage, and walked away.
Seeing him leave, Sun Dai also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered the surrounding servants to close the door of the mansion, and then went straight to the side courtyard path......
