Chapter 416: Before the banquet in front of the hall

Lang Wuxu sneered: "This is naturally Duke An Guo's plan. Every time he reconciled, Hu Bufan's account book would be handed over to Duke An Guo. The meaning of stamping it with the handprint was to make sure that the account book was indeed from Hu Bufan. Although the other side claimed that the account book would be checked and burned and destroyed, but... hehe, I don't think it would be destroyed. These account books with Hu Bufan's handprints were held in Duke An Guo's hands, and actually became a powerful tool to pinch Hu Bufan's throat. Hu Bufan had no other way to go, so he could only let Duke An Guo's mercy." After a pause, he said: "Duke An Guo has always used both kindness and power. It 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 be really destroyed, but since he is following Duke An, he can only do things according to Duke An's wishes."

"So that's it." Chu Huan understood, thought for a while, and asked again: "Who is the Xuanzhen Dao Sect you mentioned?"

"That is the Taoist sect of Sitiantai." Lang Wuxu explained: "Master Xuanzhen is the head of the Dao of Changsheng. He entered the palace four years ago and cured the priest's illness...!" Seeing Chu Huan frowned, he seemed puzzled, and said: "You don't know. Four years ago, the priest suddenly fell off the horse during the last hunting period. He was unable to speak. He was unconscious for several days. The situation was very dangerous at that time. The imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital were helpless. Xu Congyang and Xu came up with an idea and asked someone to post a list of documents to find a doctor. But the priest posted the list of documents for a few days. The priest Xuanzhen recommended himself to the palace. It's strange that the priest gave the priest a few pills to the priest.

All the symptoms were cured. Taoist Xuanzhen saved the priest and naturally received the priest's respect. He stayed in the palace for a few days. He heard that Taoist Xuanzhen was talking about the way of immortality to the priest. In less than half a month, the priest set up Sitiantai and appointed Xuanzhen as the Daozong of Sitiantai." He said that, he sighed lightly: "Since then, the Daozong of Xuanzhen has become the most dependent person of the priest. Since ancient times to the present, the imperial palace has been forbidden, but the priest has set up the Ziyu Hall in the palace as the Sitiantai Yamen. The Daozong of Xuanzhen led a group of Taoists to serve the priest in the Ziyu Hall. Since then, the priest has begun to devote himself to practicing Taoism and seeking immortality."

Chu Huan actually knew that the emperor favored Taoist priests and devoted himself to practicing Taoism, but he never understood why His Majesty, who had excellent civil and military skills, suddenly abandoned state affairs and devoted himself to Taoism when the empire was in full swing.

Today, I heard Lang Wuxu say this and vaguely understand the reason.

The emperor's practice of Taoism actually originated from an accident.

Hunting fell off his horse and couldn't afford to get sick. For His Majesty the Emperor, he must have rethinked the subject of life afterwards. He was on the battlefield, unifying the world, and making great achievements in civil and military affairs. Looking at the world, his life has reached its peak, with unrivaled power and money and beauty at his fingertips. At that point, he has pursued very few things.

The fallen horse was injured and the emperor must have been severely hit. Xuanzhen Daozong appeared at the right time and used the pills refined by Taoism to help the emperor recover quickly. In the conversation with the emperor, it naturally involved the way of immortality pursued by Taoism. At that moment, the emperor's life was finally attained with the ultimate pursuit that could once again arouse his passion - immortality!

Although Chu Huan was not very sure of the emperor's mentality, he believed that the reason why the emperor practiced Taoism was probably the case.

Seeing Chu Huan pondering but Lang Wuxu didn't know what Chu Huan was thinking, so he called out softly. Chu Huan came to his senses and finally smiled: "Mr. Master, once you succeed this time, you will be the biggest contributor to defeat Hu Bufan. The King of Qi will naturally believe in your loyalty."

Lang Wuxu frowned and said, "Mr. Chu, aren't you really going to have a red and silver book?

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Why not seize the opportunity?"

Lang Wuxu's eyes twitched and he waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chu, I suddenly had an idea today, but after thinking about it carefully, it is almost impossible to get the red silver book. Even if I don't tell you, you know the reason." He leaned closer and said, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If I want to defeat Hu Bufan, we have to continue waiting for the opportunity!"

"Mr. Master thinks this is impossible?" Chu Huan smiled and said, "But the official confirmed that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I missed this great opportunity. I have to wait for another half a year for the next opportunity!"

Lang Wuxu saw that although Chu Huan was laughing, he looked very serious and said in surprise: "Chun...Brother Chu, you won't...you are really ready to take action, are you?" He grabbed Chu Huan's hand and said nervously: "It's so slim, hope is slim!"

Chu Huan was still laughing and whispered: "Things do seem difficult, but with the Minister of the Secretariat, things are much simpler."

Lang Wuxu hurriedly said, "Brother Chu, it's not that I don't help, I... I know that there is this. In fact, I can't do literary or martial arts, and it's difficult for other places to help."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Mr. I am humble. This time I take action, I will never be able to do it without the help of Mr.." Heyan said with joy: "This time, the minister is willing to assist Mr. and do a big thing!"

Lang Wuxu was so excited that Chu Huan said that it seemed that he wanted to be the leader of this matter.

"The Minister of the Secretariat has always been close to Hu Bufan, so some things need guidance from the Minister of the Secretariat." Chu Huan lowered his voice and said, "The Minister of the Secretariat must know the terrain in the Minister of Revenue's Mansion."

"This..." Lang Wuxu began to hesitate.

"There must be guards in the Ministry of Revenue's Office. Does the Minister of Revenue know the time of the rotation inside? Do you know some of Hu Bufan's daily habits?" Chu Huan's expression began to become serious: "What is the patrol situation on the street outside the Ministry of Revenue's Office? What is the guards in the mansion? In addition, the Minister of Revenue has to be asked to draw a picture and a topographic map of the Ministry of Revenue's Office. It must be detailed and there is no omission!"

Lang Wuxu's eyes flashed: "Brother Chu, are you trying to sneak into the Shangshu Mansion to steal the red silver book?" He felt that his words were a little inappropriate, so he hurriedly said: "You have to think twice? This... this is too hasty. Even if you know these, what's the use of not knowing where the red silver book is? If you don't know where the red silver book is, everything will be in vain!"

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside the door, and the voice of Bai Xiaozi came: "Sir, several masters from the Ministry of Revenue have arrived!"

Chu Huan responded and said, "Please invite a few adults to use tea in the living room first!" He lowered his voice and said to Lang Wuxu: "Sir, the arrow is on the string, and I have to fire it. I need your best help this time!"

...

...

Wang Fu and others worked very hard for Chu Huan. The ornaments were arranged in a very grand manner. Four judges from the Ministry of Revenue were sitting in the ornament of the ornament of the Ministry of Revenue at this time, and someone had already brought tea.

The first time they went to the mansion, they only saw a few burly men serving each other, which was a bit strange. After all, Chu Huan was the head of the fourth-rank Ministry of Revenue and could not see a maid at home. That was a very strange thing. In fact, buying a maid in Beijing would not cost much money.

Several people were still a little restrained while drinking tea. They didn't speak much at the beginning. Later, they began to talk about some of the old owner of the mansion and the old story of the Imperial College Lord Yan.

Didn't wait too long, Chu Huan came out first and bowed and smiled: "You have been waiting for a long time. I have been with Lord Lang to taste tea. I have been delaying some time, don't blame me!"

Everyone stood up one after another, saying that they didn't dare to take the prepared gifts and presented them to him. Chu Huan said repeatedly: "You are so polite. You will need you to take care of you in the future and make you spend money. I'm so embarrassed!" However, he did not refuse, and signaled that the blind man to accept the gift. Then he sat down and said: "The house is shabby, which makes you laugh. There is no chef in the mansion, so you can't neglect you, so you ordered wine and food from the restaurant outside. Don't dislike me!"

"What is the matter in charge?" A judge smiled and said, "The uncle's house is so poor that he is really a role model for us!"

Everyone agreed.

"Mr. Master is still cooking tea by himself." Chu Huan laughed and said, "Let's chat first, wait for Mr. Master to come. There is no singing or dancing tonight, but I am willing to gather with you, so I urgently invite you here. When the chefs in the mansion prepare all the food, I will invite you to the humble house to gather. The most important thing today is to drink a lot, and we must stop drunk!"

When several judges saw Chu Huan's kindness, they all smiled and nodded, and someone said, "I have never seen the adults' alcohol tolerance, and I am about to learn about it today!"

The elegant hall was full of chatting and laughing. When they were having fun, Lang Wuxu finally came in with sweat. Everyone hurriedly bowed. Lang Wuxu looked at Chu Huan with some tension, quickly concealed his tension and gave gifts to everyone. Today, his official position was the highest, so he was naturally at the top of his position. The restaurant had also delivered wine and food. The wine and food were rich, and there were fruit and snacks. Bai Zai brought people to put all the wine and food on it.

The wine I sent today can be regarded as a top-notch wine in Beijing. It is expensive and it actually brought several large jars, all of which are large jars of ten kilograms.

The coachman and follower who followed several judges were arranged to another yard, and Wang Fu took two Wu Jingwei to accompany him. The food and food were also very rich.

Lang Wuxu seemed to have something to do, but he was also a person who had passed the world, so he covered it up very well. After a moment, the venue began to drink and laugh and laugh.

On weekdays, everyone had very little personal relationship with Chu Huan. Today, at the wine table, I found that Chu Huan was full of witty words. Many things he said were very fresh, and the wine order he initiated was also extremely strange.

After three rounds of drinking, several judges' eyes began to straighten when they spoke, and their faces were red. Chu Huan seemed to be in a state of drunkenness. Not long after, several judges actually fell drunk on the table, and some even snored on the table.

Lang Wuxu was a little surprised and whispered: "Judge Sun seems to have good alcohol tolerance. Why did he get drunk so quickly?"

Chu Huan was originally drunk, and seemed to fall down at any time, but after the four judges got drunk one by one, the confused expression in his eyes began to become clear. He smiled softly and said, "Sometimes it is not difficult to get others drunk!" He asked Bai Xiaozi, who had been serving by the side, "When is it time?"

"It's almost past the time of garrison!"

Lang Wuxu smiled, grabbed Lang Wuxu's arm, and said, "My Lord Lang, let's go back to have a cup of tea and wake up!" Without saying a word, he pulled Lang Wuxu to the back. Before Lang Wuxu could react, Bai Xiaozi had already grabbed Lang Wuxu's arms from behind. Lang Wuxu only felt that his arms seemed to be tied up by a rope, and his expression changed drastically. He struggled and said, "Chu Huan, Chu... Brother Chu, what are you doing?"

"Sir, what happened tonight is not a small matter. Chu wants to bet with his life!" Chu Huan picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, saw that the blind man tied up Lang Wuxu, then went over to pick up the rolled-up picture on the table, opened it, and asked, "Sir, is this the topographic map of the Shangshu Mansion? Did you draw it wrong?"

Lang Wuxu said with a calm face: "Brother Chu, I don't know what you mean? Why did you tie me up? You haven't untied the rope."

"I'm sorry, the rope will be untied, but not now." Chu Huan looked at the topographic map in his hand, his eyes were like lightning: "Tonight, the Lord will have a bright future in the future, otherwise... hehe, if Chu fails, his life is likely to be lost. Lord Shu won't look at my brother, I'm on the road alone, right?"

Lang Wuxu's face was pale and said in surprise: "Brother Chu, what are you doing? Let's talk about it carefully. You... don't do things that are foolish!" Bai Xiaozi ignored him and his hands were quick. He tied Lang Wuxu's hands in a few strokes. He pressed him on the chair very unceremoniously, took a thicker rope, and tied him to the chair.

Chu Huan did not answer Lang Wuxu's words for now, but just kept the map in mind. The Minister of Revenue's Mansion is not small, but it is also a pity that Lang Wuxu had a close relationship with Hu Bufan and knew Hu Bufan's roots and went to the Minister of Revenue's Mansion countless times. The map clearly marked the terrain of the Minister of Revenue's Mansion. Chu Huan looked at it for a moment, rolled up the map, put it in his arms, and then walked to Lang Wuxu and asked: "Sir, are you sure this picture is accurate?"

Lang Wuxu could not have thought that when Chu Huan came back, his face was really bad, and he said "yes", looking very dissatisfied.

"Then the situation that the Lord said to Xiaguan just now must be correct?" Chu Huan asked softly: "There will be no mistakes when the rotation time, and the one who likes the sword dance under the moon, right?"

Lang Wuxu smiled bitterly and said, "Of course not, Brother Chu, you still can't believe me? I really want to be loyal to the King of Qi. I feel a little disappointed when you treat me like this!"

"Sir, don't be surprised." Chu Huan said solemnly: "It's related to your life, and you have to be careful. After tonight, if there is no mistake in what you said, then from now on, the Lord will guarantee that the King of Qi will trust you very much, but if what you said is wrong...!" He glanced at Bai Xiaozi, Bai Xiaozi looked ferocious, and had already taken out a dagger and put it on Lang Wuxu's neck. Chu Huan said lightly: "Then Chu Huan can't come back, and sir can't go out!"—
