Chapter 175: Fighting Wisdom
Piaotian Literature In the duty room, Liu Chengfeng was chatting happily with Secretary Wang and Lao Huo, when a school captain came in with a letter.
, said: "Sir, someone from outside has sent a letter, please take a look at it."
Liu Chengfeng was slightly stunned. Logically speaking, if the note was sent by another yamen for convenience, it should be handed over to Secretary Wang for processing. If it was a personal letter, it should be sent to his own home. This is the first time I have received a private letter here.
.
Furthermore, Liu Chengfeng actually didn’t know many people, so who sent the letter to him?
Liu Chengfeng took the letter, tore off the seal, and then opened it to read. However, his face suddenly became a little solemn, as if he had encountered a more difficult matter, which made Old Huo and Sitting beside him
Official Wang couldn't help but crane his neck to see what was written in the letter.
Liu Chengfeng read the letter, then squinted his eyes and started thinking. Secretary Wang couldn't help but ask: "Sir, who sent this letter?"
Secretary Wang shouldn't have asked these words. After all, it was a private message. If he asked, he might not be told. But Liu Chengfeng's appearance aroused Secretary Wang's curiosity.
Liu Chengfeng gently put down the letter and said, "Someone invited me to drink."
It turned out to be drinking...
Secretary Wang couldn't help but smile. Not to mention his lord, even if he was in this position, it would be inevitable for him to be invited to have a drink. But he was too worried.
But Liu Chengfeng said calmly: "The person who wrote the letter said he was a monk. He claimed to be a poor monk. The place where he drank wine was in Yunxiao Pavilion. A monk sent a letter to invite me to drink flower wine? This is quite interesting."
Official Wang couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Yunxiao Pavilion is not far away, and it is under the jurisdiction of our Baihu Office. Would you like to go and have a look, sir?"
Liu Chengfeng shook his head and said: "No, I hate drinking with monks most in my life. Just wait and see, this monk will send you a letter."
Sure enough, half an hour later, another letter came. It was still the same monk, but this time, his words were more sincere. Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly. He took the letter and said to Secretary Wang: "This monk has written again."
Official Wang said: "Sir, there is something strange about this monk."
Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly and said: "Of course there is something weird. And the weirdness is very big. Think about it, someone suddenly comes to invite you to a drink, but you don't go, and he comes to invite you with sincere words. If it were you, you would
Will you go?"
Secretary Wang thought for a while and said: "If you are a student, the student will be curious. You must go and see it."
Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "That's right. This monk didn't mention anything in the letter, but he just invited me to drink wine and said that the girl from Yunxiao Pavilion was nice. He was proficient in playing the piano and flute.
They just deliberately piqued my curiosity and made me insist on going. It’s a pity that I didn’t fall for it.”
Secretary Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Sir... why don't you go? It's only a few steps anyway, so why not go?"
Liu Chengfeng shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let's see what tricks he plays."
After saying that, Liu Chengfeng picked up the book and started reading it. However, Secretary Wang felt itchy in his heart. He always wanted to see if the monk would send a letter, so he simply asked a school lieutenant to move the things on his slips.
Come and work next to Liu Chengfeng.
After two sticks of incense, there was still a letter. Liu Chengfeng opened it, and Secretary Wang had already eagerly moved to the side to read it. After reading the letter, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The letter still contained the original invitation, but this invitation
His posture was lowered. In addition, he also said in the letter that the poor monk knows that you are good at cursive calligraphy, so today I brought you a piece of cursive calligraphy for your appreciation.
"Why does this monk have to invite adults to the banquet?" Wang Sili asked Liu Chengfeng in confusion.
Liu Chengfeng said calmly: "If you show your courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing."
However, Secretary Wang analyzed and said: "This is not necessarily true. Although he is showing courtesy for nothing, the place where he is perfunctory is in Yunxiao Pavilion. Under the control of our Baihu Office, it is only one step away from the Baihu Office. It should not be
Is there any danger? My lord, you might as well go and take a look."
Liu Chengfeng glanced at Secretary Wang and said with a smile: "Prince Wang wants to go?"
Secretary Wang couldn't help blowing his beard and staring, saying: "I didn't invite any students. How can students be so shameless to eat the food and wine of that monk?"
Liu Chengfeng chuckled and said: "Just wait and see, there will definitely be a letter coming later. This monk wants to play mystery with me and whet your appetite. I won't fall for his trick. Let's sit here."
, let’s see what tricks he continues to play.”
Official Wang smiled bitterly and had no choice but to go back and continue to bury his head in the case.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, another letter finally arrived from outside. Liu Chengfeng read the letter, raised his eyebrows, and said in a cold voice: "Call a few people and follow me."
Official Wang said: "Sir, are you willing to go to the banquet this time?"
Liu Chengfeng smiled and said: "My appetite has been whetted, so naturally I should go and see it."
"What does the letter say?" Wang Secretary asked.
Liu Chengfeng said calmly: "This monk said that he would offer a treasure in exchange for his future..."
"Ah..." Secretary Wang looked a little disappointed. He thought that the monk would show some prowess, but who knew that it was an ordinary gift. It was just that the monk gave gifts to hundreds of Jinyiwei households, but it was rare, so he couldn't help but feel a little a little bit.
I was in a daze, wondering what the monk had given me and what he planned to ask for.
At this time, Liu Chengfeng had already put on his sword and said to the official Wang: "I want to tell you something. You will go to the banquet later. Come and talk."
The two talked for a while, and then Liu Chengfeng led two powerful captains towards Yunxiao Pavilion.
Liu Chengfeng was familiar with the place. He had been there more than once. Last time, the owner of Yunxiao Pavilion colluded with Lei Biao and almost killed Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng was not a good person, so he simply accused the owner of the place.
After taking it, he immediately asked many general banners and small banners of the health institute to invest in the operation. It is not wrong to say that Yunxiao Pavilion is the property of Baihu Institute. The clerks in it have also changed. Usually in Baihu Institute, occasionally
When you go out to a party, choose where to go.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In a wing room of Yunxiao Pavilion, a girl is hiding behind a screen and stroking the strings of a piano. Outside the screen is an elegant table. The surrounding decoration is very elegant. If you open the window from here, you can see the scene facing the street.
At this time, the sky was dark, and the brightness of dusk came in, bringing a sense of tranquility and making people feel a little drowsy.
There was a charcoal basin placed in the room, sandalwood was ordered, and the drinks were served on the table, but the dishes were not. Sitting on both sides of the table were a monk and a Taoist.
The Taoist was the Taoist who was with us that day. His name was Zhang Jing, but his background was mysterious. Zhang Jing closed his eyes and took a sip of tea. His eyes fell on the monk, and he lowered his voice and said respectfully: "Liu Chengfeng really knows how to do it.
Come?"
The woman behind the screen was still playing the piano, and the distance was so far that it was natural that she could not hear the conversation between the two, so the two could rest assured.
The old monk smiled faintly, and since he entered here, he has been sitting like a stone statue, not moving at all. At this time, he said calmly: "It will definitely come. This poor monk Liu Chengfeng has already figured out his thoughts.
"
"Oh?" There was a hint of astonishment on Zhang Jing's face, and he said, "Please give me some advice from the protector."
The old monk said: "Do you still remember that the poor monk ordered people to make trouble in Yunxiao Pavilion yesterday? There were also some rumors."
"Golden Buddha?"
The old monk nodded and said: "It's not just a golden Buddha. It's also a forbidden golden Buddha. Liu Chengfeng is a little clever and suspicious by nature, so the poor monk first sent a letter to create some mystery and deliberately wanted to embarrass him.
According to this person's temperament, he must be able to see through the poor monk's intention, so he will not come. So the poor monk wrote another letter, and naturally he still will not come. He thought that this way he saw through the poor monk's trick.
, in fact, by the time the third letter arrived, he had already fallen into the trap. At that time, the poor monk's letters were getting more and more sincere, and his attitude was getting lower and lower. It was inevitable that he would feel a little complacent in his heart, thinking that he was done.
The poor monk held it in his hand. This was also the time when he was most careless, and the poor monk's fourth letter was enough to whet his appetite."
Zhang Jing couldn't help but be curious and said: "I just don't know what is written in this fourth letter?"
The old monk smiled lightly and said: "It's quite simple. Just tell Liu Chengfeng that the golden Buddha was brought by the old monk to build a temple, but he never got the approval from Honglu Temple, so I wanted to ask him for help."
help?"
"Ah? He is not from Honglu Temple, how can he help?"
The old monk sighed and said: "Because he is Liu Chengfeng, any yamen can ignore him in Yingchun Square, but Liu Chengfeng has to pay attention to him. If the old monk wants to build a temple in Yingchun Square, then
There is no way around him, as long as he nods, Honglu Temple will be fine. For this reason, the old monk also talked about a gift in his letter."
"Gift?"
"Wang Youjun's "Dingwu Lanting" post."
Zhang Jing couldn't help but smile and said: "I have long heard that he is good at cursive calligraphy. I must have heard about this calligraphy post and must have wanted to get it."
The old monk shook his head and said: "That's wrong. He didn't want to keep this book sticker for himself. News came out from the palace today that His Majesty and Liu Chengfeng seemed to have some rift. What is the specifics of this matter? Old monk
The monk didn't know. But the old monk guessed that Liu Chengfeng was eager to please His Majesty at this time, and His Majesty loved running script, especially Wang Youjun's calligraphy. If he could present this "Dingwu Lanting", wouldn't he be favored again? So,
The old monk is certain that he will definitely come, he must come."
Zhang Jing closed his eyes and thought about it, and couldn't help but said: "Yes, I'm afraid he brought many guards."
The old monk shook his head again and said: "No, his entourage can only be two or three people at most. This is why the old monk chose the venue of the banquet here. Although it is inconvenient for us to do things here, and there are many Liu Chengfeng
With his eyes and ears on the side, even if the ambush manpower is only seven or eight, but this place is the only one, because it is close to Baihusuo and is under the jurisdiction of Baihusuo. The Yunxiao Pavilion has already changed owners, and it can be regarded as Liu Cheng's.
Feng's property. Because of this, Liu Chengfeng will definitely not be wary. After all, this transaction is not very bright. How can he bring a group of people here? Hall Master Zhang..."
Zhang Jing said: "Here you are."
The old monk said calmly: "The poor monk estimates that Liu Chengfeng will arrive soon. You take the people to the next room first. When Liu Chengfeng drinks the wine in this pot, I will throw the cup as a sign, and you take the people in immediately."
, immediately dealt with him, and then took his trusted people with him and immediately withdrew from the capital with the old monk. It's just a pity... We have been operating in the capital for so many years, and finally made progress, but now we have to kill Liu Chengfeng.
I don’t give up, I just don’t know what Prince Ming thinks. It’s a pity...a pity..."
The old monk shook his head regretfully, and then waved his hand, signaling Zhang Jing to go out.
