National color raw owl

In the Chu Mansion, Judge Sun, who is not a weak drinker, was the first to wake up. When he woke up, his eyes were dim and his head ached. I can't even remember, even when I fell asleep, I forgot everything.

The elegant hall was very quiet, Judge Sun looked around to make sure that he was the first to wake up.

All the desks were in a mess, and the three colleagues were also drunk. Two of them were lying on the table, and one was lying on the ground, snoring quite loudly, while Master Chu was holding a wine jar, Leaning on the side of a table, the skirt of his body was even wet with wine, even if the waiter is Wuxu, he is also lying on the wine table, unconscious from drunk, the air in the entire elegant hall is full of aura. An extremely strong alcohol smell.

Judge Sun stood up reluctantly, feeling top-heavy, but he knew that he drank a lot last night, as evidenced by the several empty jars lying on the ground.

Hearing Chu Huan's snoring, Judge Sun suddenly felt that the master in charge turned out to be a sexual lover. After drinking for the first time, he really got drunk, and even the minister was knocked down.

Through the window, the dawn light shot in, and the sky seemed to be bright.

……

The King of Han and Duke Anguo thought that there would be a big storm the next day. After all, the red and silver book was no small matter. Side too much time to prepare.

But unexpectedly, although the red silver book was lost, the storm expected the next day did not hit immediately.

Lang Wuxu got the news at noon, and came to Anguo Gong's mansion quietly. After entering the mansion, he was taken to Anguogong's study. Greetings to the old man!"

There is no one else in the study except An Guogong. The old man sat quietly on the chair with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting his mind. Lang Wuxu knelt down on the ground, and An Guogong still looked calm, with his eyes slightly opened. He asked slowly: "Since the old man's father, your grandfather has been working in our Huang family. Your grandfather, your father, two generations have been loyal to my Huang family for decades, and they have not taken responsibility. Old man, this old man has never treated them badly...!"

Lang Wuxu knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said with great humility: "Our Lang family, if it weren't for the old man's care and promotion, we would never be where we are today. The three generations of the Lang family have all received great kindness from the old man. We, the Lang family, cannot repay such a great kindness!"

An Guogong stared at Lang Wuxu, and said calmly: "Wuxu, you can be regarded as the old man who grew up watching you. You were smart when you were young, and the old man specially asked you to accompany the third child. Do you remember?"

Lang Wuxu said respectfully: "Remember, I'm an official. I owe everything to the old man for being able to have this day. If there is no advice from the old man, this official is nothing."

"You just remember." An Guogong sighed softly: "You have made progress in your studies, and you have lived up to the expectations of this old man. Before your father passed away, this old man also told your father that as long as you do things with your heart, our Huang family will definitely I will not treat your Lang family badly. I have high hopes for you, and the Ministry of Accounts is our foundation, so I arranged you into the Ministry of Accounts early in the morning. The reason is very simple. I think you are a trustworthy person."

Lang Wuxu lowered his head, and just said: "The old man's trust, the subordinates are very clear, the old man's trust in the subordinates, the subordinates have nothing to repay, they can only go through fire and water, and do not hesitate!"

"Going through thick and thin, that's not necessary." An Guogong said slowly: "In fact, you also understand in your heart that compared to Hu Bufan, this old man trusts you more, because this old man has always regarded you as his own family, and came out of Anyi for three generations. The origin of people, if the old man doesn't believe you, who else can he trust? There is a reason for putting you in the household department, and that is also to keep an eye on Hu Bufan."

Lang Wuxu lowered his head and didn't speak for a while.

"Wu Xu, you are very smart." An Guogong sat back on the chair, unmoved: "But people who are too smart sometimes think too much, and they will become confused instead!"

Lang Wuxu's body was shaken, he raised his head, and seeing Duke An's eyes staring at him, he was agitated, and hurriedly said: "Old Duke, is it... is there any difference in being an official? I'm a dull official, if there is any mistake, Also ask the old man to punish him!"

"Wuxu, Wuxu!" An Guogong said softly, "This name was given to me by your father when he found this old man!" Leaning slightly forward, he asked, "Do you know the meaning of this name?"

"The lower official knows. It's not true, it's true. The old man wants the lower official to be an honest person!"

An Guogong's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "It's good that you know what it means. I want to ask you a few words. If you only have a few truthful words in your life, I hope they will be the next few words!"

Lang Wuxu's eyes flashed with horror, but he still tried his best to keep calm.

"Hu Bufan has a red and silver book in his hand, and he has to check the accounts in the past two days." An Guogong said slowly: "All along, in order to prevent Hu Bufan from being dishonest, you have been responsible for the statistics of his red and silver book. , you understand that."

Lang Wuxu hurriedly said: "I understand clearly. This time the red and silver book, I have also finished the calculation and presented it to Hu Butang!"

"But there is something wrong with the red and silver book!" An Guogong seemed to be old and dim-sighted, but at this moment, there was a sharp look in his cloudy eyes.

Lang Wuxu showed a look of surprise, and hurriedly said: "Old Duke, the red and silver book is calculated by the subordinates with all their heart, and every account that is secretly made has been met with Hu Butang, so there should be no mistakes!"

An Guogong said indifferently: "Then do you know that the red and silver book was stolen from Hu Butang's residence last night?"

"Stolen?" Lang Wuxu was stunned for a moment, then his face turned ashen, and he said in shock: "Old Duke, you... are what you said true? This...how is this possible?"

"It seems impossible, but it is true!" An Guogong said.

Lang Wuxu's eyes were blank, and he said in a trembling voice: "Old Duke, this... this red and silver book is stolen, the consequences will be disastrous...!" He looked terrified, as if a catastrophe was imminent.

An Guogong stared at Lang Wuxu's face and asked, "You don't know?"

"I don't know." Lang Wuxu shook his head and said, "Chu Huan hosted a banquet last night. I attended the banquet at the Chu Mansion last night. Du Zhicao and four other judges were also present, and they drank all night!"

Anguo Gong said: "The old man knows about this, but you seem to be getting very close to Chu Huan recently."

Lang Wuxu immediately said: "Old Duke, when Chu Huan entered the household department, he constrained the subordinate officials and Hu department hall everywhere. After discussing with Hu department hall, the subordinate officials approached Chu Huan and found an opportunity to completely eradicate him in one fell swoop. The next official approached him, not really wanting to associate with him, but just looking for an opportunity to find something to do with him!" Using his knees as his feet, he moved a little closer, and it was the old Duke who said with emotion: "Old Duke, there are very few people who know about the existence of the red and silver book, and the lower official is also one of the insiders. If someone had not leaked the news, then the opponent would not have the idea of ​​​​the red and silver book. The lower official has three generations. Thanks to the kindness of the old Duke, although the lower officials are dull, they also know the truth that if one loses, the other loses, and the other wins. You are loyal and loyal, and you have absolutely no disobedience, so please check it out!" He frothed all over his mouth, showing his loyalty, and then he kowtowed repeatedly, and there was a thud.

An Guogong pondered for a moment, and finally asked: "The old man knows that you have a sense of propriety, but... you approached Chu Huan, although you wanted to find a handle on Chu Huan, but Chu Huan might not be on guard against you. You got something in you. Did you let it slip by yourself and didn't know it?"

Lang Wuxu shook his head and said: "Your official should be cautious when getting along with Chu Huan, not to mention the red silver book is a matter of life and death, how dare you be negligent in the slightest?" He stood up abruptly and said, "Old Duke, The Lang family has been loyal for three generations, and I deeply feel the great kindness of the old Duke. Now that such a big event has happened, no matter whether it is related to the lower official, it will definitely implicate the lower official in the future, and the lower official will not implicate the old Duke. He looked left and right, and said again: "I ask myself that I will be loyal to the old man and have no second thoughts. The old man will take care of himself in the future!" Hit it.

Seeing this, Duke An's face changed slightly, and when he heard a "bang", Lang Wuxu's forehead had hit the desk, blood spurted out, Duke An finally said in a deep voice, "Stop him!"

A person came out from behind a screen, grabbed Lang Wuxu's shoulder, and pulled it hard, Lang Wuxu fell to the ground, his forehead was already covered with blood, and a big hole was opened.

"Wu Xu, what are you doing!" An Guogong had already got up, and said in a deep voice: "Why did this old man say that you betrayed this old man, what a fool."

The person who snatched out from behind the screen was none other than Huang Tiandu, commander of the Wu Jingwei, and said in a deep voice: "Come quickly, call the doctor from the mansion!"

In An Guogong's mansion, there are many servants, and there are also special doctors in the mansion.

But Lang Wuxu said: "Old Duke, you let the lower official die, and the lower official didn't help protect the account book, it's hard to escape the blame, and he has no face to live in the world!" He beat his chest and said, "It's the lower official who is incompetent. , It’s a lowly official who is incompetent, I’m ashamed to see the old man...!"

Huang Tiandu said in a deep voice: "Stop yelling!" With a serious face, he said to An Guo: "Father, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with Wuxu, there is someone else who betrayed us, this person must be found out, otherwise there will be endless troubles !"

The old Duke nodded and said: "This old man believes in Wuxu, he is loyal to this old man and will never betray this old man." He called people in and ordered to help Lang Wuxu go down to treat the wound.

When Lang Wuxu left, An Guogong immediately showed a sinister smile on his face, and said slowly: "Han Wang is wise, this spy is really him!"

Huang Tian was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why.
