Lang Wuxu even changed his address to "Brother Chu Xian", but he really seemed to be confiding in his heart, and his face was also full of sincerity, staring at Chu Huan.

Chu Huan pondered for a while before saying: "My lord's words are not unreasonable. It's just that... the lower officials are favored by the Holy One, and they are transferred to the household department to handle errands. If... well, I'm afraid it won't work!"

Lang Wuxu said earnestly: "Brother Chu Xian, I really want to be friends with you. As an official in Beijing, many friends are better than many enemies. If you really offend many officials, you will be in Beijing in the future." Every step is a thorn, and even with the grace of the Holy One, it may not be smooth sailing." He stood up, walked to Chu Huan, and took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan was startled, and asked, "What do you mean, my lord?"

"Brother Chu Xian, this is a 1 taels of silver note." Lang Wuxu said: "I know that when you first entered the capital, you have not bought many things. You take the money first, and buy some if you need anything. It's my family, if you treat me as a friend, we will have the same blessings and hardships in the future, and when you are short of money, let me know, and I will definitely not treat you badly."

Chu Huan frowned and said, "My lord, how can I collect this money?"

"Are you treating me as a friend?" Lang Wuxu's face darkened: "If you tell me to take it, you can take it!"

1 taels of silver, this is not a small amount, Lang Wuxu does not think that Chu Huan can resist such a big benefit, and he also understands that as long as Chu Huan reaches out to take it, Chu Huan will be dragged into the water by his side Come, you can only become a puppet in the future.

Unexpectedly, Chu Huan shook his head and said, "My lord, this money cannot be collected by the lower officials. The lower officials have their own salary every month. If one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, so much money can't be used."

Lang Wuxu frowned, seeing that Chu Huan really didn't intend to accept it, he took back the bank note, and said calmly: "In this way, Brother Chu Xian is not willing to be friends with this official, nor is he willing to be friends with the Ministry of Households. Peaceful coexistence with colleagues?"

Chu Huan said: "The lower official thinks that doing business seriously and making no mistakes is the best way to explain to the Holy Majesty and all the adults!"

Lang Wuxu sneered and said: "I have said so much, don't you think you can't listen to it? Are you really going to make enemies in various government offices?" He approached and whispered: "Chu Huan, I know that you are behind you His Royal Highness the King of Qi is protecting you, but I might as well tell you that if you think that the King of Qi can protect you well, you are a little out of the ordinary."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "My lord, I don't understand what your lord is saying. I only know that this day is due to the favor of the sage. Why did your lord get involved with King Qi?"

"You...!" Lang Wuxu was annoyed when he saw that Chu Huan didn't eat rice, and he lost his previous patience, and said coldly: "Chu Huan, no wonder I didn't remind you that you make enemies everywhere, and one day you will be smashed to pieces , don’t blame me for not giving you a chance to choose. You are making trouble in the household department, don’t you want to stay in the household department anymore?”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "My lord's words, the lower officials still don't understand."

Lang Wuxu's eyes turned cold, and finally he sighed: "Forget it, since you are like this, I don't care about where you are going, I don't ask too much, you can do everything yourself." He stretched out his hand and said: "Bring it!"

"what?"

"Official letter." Lang Wuxu said: "The official letter that Dou Yi submitted to you, I have to go over it to see if it really says 35 taels. I will check this matter myself, if it is true If you make a mistake, Dou Yi will be transferred from the household department."

"Official letter?" Chu Huan asked blankly, "Didn't that official letter be taken away by Dou Yi?"

Lang Wuxu was suffocated, this kid really opened his eyes and was talking nonsense, Hu Bufan just said that it was on the table, now there is no official letter on the table, Chu Huan must have put it away, said in a deep voice: "Dou Yi Take it? When did he take it?"

"The lower official also forgot." Chu Huan shook his head and said: "The incident happened just now, the lower official's mind was a bit confused, and he really didn't pay attention to where the official letter is... Is it still in this room? Wait a moment, my lord. Look for it!" Get up and start searching in the house.

Lang Wuxu saw that he was pretending to search, his face turned dark.

Chu Huan searched for a long time, and seemed to have turned the room upside down, then shook his head and said, "My lord, the official letter is gone, why don't you ask Dou Yi again?"

Of course Lang Wuxu knew that Chu Huan did this on purpose, and the official letter was obviously hidden by Chu Huan. The kid was still pretending, and said coldly: "No need. Chu Huan, you are the head of the household department, and I will submit it below. You can't handle the official letter well, this is a crime of dereliction of duty!"

"There must be a copy at Dou Yi's side." Chu Huan said: "Yesterday, the lower officials got to know about it, and Du Zhicao will keep the copies of the official accounting documents that were submitted, and Dou Yi will be in charge of them all. The lower officials will get them now!"

"No need!" Lang Wuxu felt his head ache, snorted coldly, and went out without further words.

Chu Huan went back to the chair and sat down, leaned on the chair, and pressed his temples. It seemed that he was really capable. He had only been here for two days, and he seemed to have made enemies everywhere.

……

……

"Bang!"

In the main hall of Hubu, the fine celadon teacups were smashed on the ground, torn apart and scattered all over the floor, Hu Bufan was clutching his chest, his face was livid, Lang Wuxu stood by, feeling lingering fear.

"If I don't kill him, I've spent so many years in the officialdom for nothing." Hu Bufan sat down on the chair, "He made it clear that he wants to fight with me. He wants to make trouble, he wants to make trouble!"

Lang Wuxu also gritted his teeth and said: "I never thought that this person would hold a chicken feather as an arrow and use that official letter to sing against us."

"If you can hold that thing and sing against us, that official letter is not a feather." Hu Bufan said angrily.

"Yes yes yes!" Lang Wuxu hurriedly said, "It's the lower officials who are incompetent!"

Hu Bufan calmed down, and said: "There is Dou Yi's fingerprint on the official letter. He has the official letter in his hand, so Dou Yi can't run away. If this matter gets serious, a large group of people will be pulled out. It is a knife that kills without blood!"

"My lord, is this really going to be a big deal?" Lang Wuxu said cautiously: "Over the years, it's not that no one in the court has impeached our household department, and our household department has made troubles a few times, but the holy majesty has never treated us. How about it. Even if Chu Huan really makes a fuss this time, are we still afraid that he won't succeed?"

"What do you know, this moment is not that moment." Hu Bufan shook his head and said, "You are a shrewd person, why can't you see the key point. If Chu Huan is sent by someone else, I can tell him to leave within three days. , but this time he is sent by the Holy Lord, it is not easy, the Holy Heart is unpredictable, and now I still don't understand the purpose of the Holy Admiral Chu Huan... The Holy Majesty did favor An Guogong before, and has always been Protecting Mr. An, our household department has benefited from it, but now that Chu Huan is involved, this has already implied that the Holy One is somewhat dissatisfied with the household department. If Chu Huan is about to rise up, the holy emperor will take this opportunity to purge the household department, it is not impossible. At that time, I am afraid that I and you will be in big trouble."

Lang Wuxu understood, his brow was sweating, he said: "Your Excellency is wise, it's the lower officials who are dull."

"Just in case, before Chu Huan catches us, we have to catch him and drive him out of the household department." Hu Bufan said with a look of disappointment: "But it's good now, Dou Yi, an idiot, Before asking Chu Huan to seal him, he didn't come here to report to the official in advance, and he still regarded Chu Huan as Yang Tong, who could be manipulated by him, stupid, confused, extremely stupid, extremely stupid!"

Lang Wuxu dared not speak.

When Hu Bufan stopped cursing, Lang Wuxu said cautiously: "My lord, what is the origin of this Chu Huan? I only know that he is from Xishan Road, and he used to be a general of the Xishan Road Imperial Guard. How can a little guard have such great abilities? His riding skills are not inferior to Ma Zhongheng's, and his shooting skills are also extremely powerful. He can kill Liu Yao. This man's martial arts are even more amazing. How can such a character be just Xishan One of Tao's guards?"

Hu Bufan frowned and said: "The old man has also checked the details of this person. He has friendship with Wei Tianqing, the imperial guard of Xishan Road, and it was Wei Tianqing who promoted him to join the imperial guard. He didn't stay for a long time, but he was promoted quickly. Before that, he was only in white clothes, but the strange thing is that he left Yunshan Mansion for [-] years, and he didn't know what he did during these [-] years. I can't find any clues, it's blank...!"

"Anything else?"

Hu Bufan nodded slightly.He also said in doubt: "His ability is probably what he has learned in those years." Then he shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about this, it's just a matter of urgency, but to get back the official letter, otherwise Dou Yi must not be able to keep it. In the hands of Chu Huan, I really feel uneasy..."!

Lang Wuxu said: "Chu Huan is cunning and treacherous, it is not easy to get back the official letter."

Hu Bufan said angrily: "Your dignified servant of the household department can't even produce an official letter, what's the use?" But he didn't want to think about it, he was also helpless at this time.

Lang Wuxu thought for a while, and finally lowered his voice: "My lord, we can't get it in the open, we can only get it in secret!"

……

The yamen of each department would set off the clock every day when the time came, and the officials on duty would stay in the yamen. When the hour came, Chu Huan didn't stay any longer, and left the yamen of the household department alone.

It was a long way from Hubu Yamen back to Ximen Office. Fortunately, Chu Huan rode on horseback and watched the hustle and bustle of the road along the way, but it was also leisurely.

The prosperity of central Beijing is indeed the most prosperous in the world. There are bustle during the day and noise at night. When Chu Huan leaves the yamen, he will change into ordinary clothes and walk on the street in an official uniform, which is too ostentatious.

The street was full of traffic, and it was quite crowded. On both sides of the road, there were some jugglers. There were crowds watching from one cluster to the other. Chu Huan rode on a horse and came to a street. Holding onto Chu Huan's thigh, he said pitifully, "Grandpa, give me some rewards, sir, give me some rewards!"

The man's clothes were shabby, his body was terribly stained, and his hair was unkempt. Chu Huan frowned, took a few copper coins from his waist, and threw them into the man's broken bowl. Several beggars rushed out and surrounded Chu Huan, all pitiful, all wanting to ask Chu Huan for rewards.
