In Hu Bufan's heart, the red and silver book is no different from his own life. He is very clear that although this account book has created his current status, but the same account book can smash himself to pieces at any time.

Once this red and silver book falls into the hands of hostile people, the consequences will be disastrous.

Tonight when he suddenly received this letter, he just felt dizzy. His first thought was to determine whether the red silver book was really stolen. After all, there are only a handful of people who know the existence of the red silver book. The red and silver book mentioned in this letter was a shocking thing to Hu Bufan, so he ignored other things and was eager to determine the whereabouts of the red and silver book.

The red and silver book was not stolen in this ancestral hall. After Hu Bufan felt relieved for a short time, he soon felt a chill all over his body in an instant, and that ominous premonition had been born from head to toe.

He has realized that he seems to have made a fatal mistake.

In the deathly silent ancestral hall, there was a sound of "pop", the sesame oil lamp had been extinguished, and Hu Bufan had already grasped the red and silver book in his hand, as if by fate, knowing that something was wrong, the ancestral hall was pitch black, and he As he ran towards the door, he opened his mouth to call for someone, but before he could make his voice, he felt a figure vaguely appear in front of him, like a wall in front of him.

In the dimness, Hu Bufan could only know that the other party was a person, but he couldn't see his figure and appearance at all. The man moved very quickly, without saying a word, he had already raised his fist, and punched Hu Bufan hard on the forehead. With one punch, Hu Bufan felt dizzy, took two steps back, and sat down on the ground.

He could be said to be extremely shocked at this moment, and he already understood that someone must have sneaked into the House of Minister of the Household Department.

Although he wasn't wise, he wasn't stupid after all, and he had already seen the crux of the matter at this moment. The shadow that was attacking him in front of him must have something to do with that letter.

He was still wondering before that this red and silver book was kept in the ancestral hall, God knows it, and only he himself knew it, and the red and silver book that checked the accounts twice a year, he didn't keep it in a certain place, every time he stored it , that is all carefully, it is absolutely impossible to be known by others, how can it be stolen by others?Now I finally understand that the letter was just a bait for throwing stones to ask for directions. No one knew the whereabouts of the red and silver book beforehand, but the other party used this trick. In a moment of panic, I actually brought the other party to the collection of the red and silver book. land.

If I am not fooled, then no matter how much I spend on convenience, I will never know the whereabouts of the red and silver book, but the red and silver book is related to my own life and death. Once the letter that was used as a bait fell into my hands, I would be terrified. Under the circumstances, he was already panicked, and then he was fooled by the other party unknowingly.

Hu Bufan was regretful at this time, knowing that the other party was coming for the red and silver book, and knowing that this red and silver book must not be lost, even though he was punched hard and dizzy, he still held on tightly. He tried his best to shout out, but the other party would not allow him to speak out. Before he opened his mouth, the other party had already pounced on him, and he didn't know what he was holding, so he smashed it on Hu Bufan. on the head.

Hu Bufan was a weak official, and he was over half a century old. He tried his best to withstand such a blow. Stars appeared in front of his eyes, and he wanted to struggle subconsciously, but he just rolled his eyes and passed out.

……

The servants guarding outside the courtyard of the ancestral hall waited silently. Lord Shang Shu climbed over the wall and entered the ancestral hall. Everyone felt it was incredible and didn't know what happened.

But looking at the panic-stricken appearance of Master Shangshu just now, and coming straight to the ancestral hall, it is obvious that something is serious.

Inside the ancestral hall, more than half an hour passed, and there was still no sound. All the servants felt that things were a little strange. Several people got together and whispered a few words, and finally one person rushed away to report to Hu. lady.

The ancestral hall is an important place, and the gate is locked tightly. Naturally, these servants dare not enter, but they are afraid that something will happen to Hu Bufan inside, so they can only invite someone to come over.

After a long while, I finally saw a group of people surrounded by a woman in her 40s, carrying several lanterns. The woman was Hu Bufan's main room. The servants outside the ancestral hall rushed to meet her. He frowned and asked, "Master hasn't come out yet?"

"It's been almost an hour since I went in." The servant bowed and replied, "I haven't come out until now."

"How did the master get in?" Mrs. Hu asked with a frown when she saw that the gate of the ancestral hall was locked with a big copper lock.

The servant replied: "The master climbed over the wall and entered the ancestral hall."

"Only the master is in there?"

"No." Immediately someone replied: "There is another person escorting the master to go in, but...but he hasn't come out yet." The person seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, did you guys see clearly just now? Who accompanied the master in?"

Several domestic servants standing outside the ancestral hall looked at each other and shook their heads.

The genealogy maids and servants under the Shangshu Mansion add up to hundreds of people. Just now when Hu Bufan came to the ancestral hall, these servants followed spontaneously. Although there was a moon, no one cared to look at the people around them. I just came here in a hurry, and suddenly remembered that no one really noticed who followed Hu Bufan into the ancestral hall.

Mrs. Hu went to the gate of the courtyard, brought the key of the ancestral hall, took out the key, but did not unlock it immediately, yelled twice, but there was no sound inside, then took the lock and opened the key, and brought a few people in, the courtyard was quiet The door of the ancestral hall was open, but it was pitch black inside. Someone passed by holding a lantern and took a picture of the room, and someone exclaimed: "Master!"

The crowd rushed over and saw Hu Bufan lying on the ground with blood on his forehead, motionless, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Everyone was taken aback and yelled, someone ordered to call the doctor quickly, and someone stepped forward to support Hu Bufan, sniffed, and said to Mrs. Hu: "Madam, the master is still alive."

Everyone hurriedly carried Hu Bufan away from the ancestral hall, and after a lot of trouble, Hu Bufan was settled. Mrs. Hu summoned all the chief managers of the mansion, and asked angrily: "What's going on here? The master is in his mansion. He was injured like this? Tell me, what is going on? Who did it? There are guards everywhere in and outside the courtyard, how did the assassin get in?"

In fact, the people in Shangshufu are also very strange.

Hu Bufan is one of the ministries, an absolute important minister of the Great Qin Empire, and the security affairs of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion have always been very strict, not to mention that there are soldiers patrolling all the streets outside the Shangshu Mansion at all times. In Shangshu Mansion, guards are set up everywhere, openly or secretly. Hu Bufan has always attached great importance to his life, and he also knows that there must be many people in the government and the opposition who want to take his life, so the mansion recruited many people. There are few strange people and strangers, and there is no shortage of experts. The huge Shangshu Mansion, no matter day or night, has a guard team patrolling all over the mansion to strengthen security, but if there is an abnormality, these people will react quickly.

But tonight was surprisingly weird, Hu Bufan was bleeding, but the assassin was nowhere to be seen, coming and going without a trace. If the assassin came to assassinate Hu Bufan, but Hu Bufan suffered some flesh wounds on his head, his body could not be seen. There were no scars. Since the assassin could approach Hu Bufan quietly and beat Hu Bufan like this, it would be a breeze to kill Hu Bufan.

But Hu Bufan is not dead, so the purpose of sneaking into Shangshu's mansion at this moment is obviously not to kill people.

The several supervisors looked at each other in blank dismay, all with their heads down, not daring to speak.

Madam Hu's face was very ugly, and at this moment, a servant girl came over and said, "Madam, Master is awake!"

Mrs. Hu hurried into the inner room, and several stewards looked at each other and followed them in. They saw Hu Bufan lying on the couch with his forehead bandaged up, his eyes open, and his voice was not loud, just yelling: " Ledger, ledger, where is the ledger?"

Madam Hu approached and asked in a low voice, "Master, what account book?"

"My account book." Hu Bufan almost collapsed, his eyes were blank: "Where is my account book?"

Madam Hu turned her head, and several managers looked at each other and shook their heads. One manager stepped forward and said cautiously, "Master, what account book do you want?"

Hu Bufan said with difficulty: "The ledger of the ancestral hall, my life...!"

"Master, when we went in, we didn't see any ledger." Mrs. Hu said, "What kind of ledger are you talking about? Do you want someone to look for it again?"

A manager has already said: "Young one, let's go find it."

Hu Bufan's face was ashen, and tremblingly said: "I can't find it, it was... snatched away!" He struggled to sit up, his facial muscles convulsed and twisted: "There is no escape, I plan... There is no escape from catastrophe...!"

Mrs. Hu and several managers were at a loss. Hu Bufan suddenly thought of something, and immediately said: "The messenger, where is the messenger? Bring it here quickly, where is the messenger?"

Immediately someone went down, and soon one person was brought over. This person looked ordinary, with a look of panic, and the servant had already reported: "My lord, this person is a gangster who has been in the capital, and he has no background. Swindled and kidnapped, called Chen San!"

Chen San had already knelt down on the ground, bowed his head, not daring to speak, Hu Bufan glared at Chen San, and asked: "Tell me, who... who sent you to deliver that letter? Tell me quickly, if you... ...If you have half a lie, kill it immediately!"

Chen San was trembling all over. He never thought that sending a letter would cause such a big deal. Maybe today he not only sent a letter, but also his own life, and said in a trembling voice, "Back to the old man, it's...someone I gave the villain ten taels of silver, and asked the villain...to send this letter to the Shangshu Mansion, and...and told the villain, saying that the letter was urgent and life-threatening, villain... People only think that it is easy to send a letter for ten taels of silver, so...!"

Hu Bufan sternly said: "I didn't ask you this, but I asked you, who asked you to send the letter?"

"The villain really doesn't know." Chen San said with a mournful face: "That man wrapped himself like a rice dumpling, the villain really doesn't know who he is...!" A guard next to him pulled out a knife and put it on Chen San's shoulder. On the third neck, he said sharply: "Do you dare to lie?"

"The villain...the villain dare not lie." Chen San could only feel the heat in his crotch, and the urine had already flowed out: "The villain really doesn't know who he is, even if the master kills the little one, the little one... the little one I don't even know who he is!"

Hu Bufan stared at Chen San with desperation in his eyes, his throat twitched suddenly, with a "wow", a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he yelled "my life is over", he fell back and passed out again .
