Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo.

When night fell and when the lights first came, Du Cheng, Anle Hou, disguised himself as a servant in the mansion, and only brought the most confidant housekeeper Du Nian. The two of them quietly slipped out of the side door of the Hou’s mansion. In a short while, they disappeared among the bustling crowd.

After passing through several streets, Du Nian waved to a ox cart, deliberately cutting an ordinary car price, and then helped Du Cheng, who had put on the clothes of an ordinary merchant, get on the ox cart.

Even if the Anle Marquis Mansion is in trouble again, Du Nian, the steward in the Marquis Mansion, welcomes and sends people to a wide range of people. In order to keep it confidential, he also followed Du Cheng into the carriage.

The ox cart started slowly, and Du Cheng and his servant passed through almost half of Kaifeng City in a twists and turns, and finally stopped in front of a small teahouse.

Du Nian got off the car first and looked at the teahouse carefully. At this time, Dr. Tea came forward with a smile, nodded and said, "This guest official, the newly arrived Tuanlong Tea in the store is sweet and delicious, and you will be satisfied."

"Has the seat ordered by Mr. Liu kept it?" Du Cheng ignored Dr. Cha's exaggeration and directly said the secret code that had been made in advance.

Dr. Cha looked at Du Nian deeply, his face was not changed, and his heart was beating. He said, "I'm going to hide it from this great official, Mr. Liu has never booked a seat today, but the seat A by the window has been empty."

Du Nian pursed her lips and met the code. The word "is right" and then raised her chin and ordered, "Wait, I'll go and ask the boss to get off the car." Then she turned around and came to the car window and whispered to Du Cheng.

After Du Cheng slowly climbed out of the ox cart, Du Nian supported him and, under the attentive reception of Dr. Cha, went up the second floor along the stairs. However, Dr. Cha did not take them to the window seat, but led them directly into the back chalet covered with a door curtain.

What Du Cheng and his servant did not expect was that after Dr. Cha led them into the back wing, he did not stop for a moment, and then followed the narrow ladder behind the door to the yard.

Although Dr. Tea was complicated, Du Cheng's originally uneasy heart became more and more stable. The more secret the matter of meeting that person tonight, the better, and the fewer people knew that the Du family would be safer.

Dr. Cha led Du Cheng and his servant through the yard, turned into a moon gate, and stopped in front of a door that seemed to be a wood-room.

"The great official is inside, let's go in." After saying this, Dr. Cha walked to the closed door and gently knocked on the door frame, "They are here."

Du Cheng and his servant looked at each other. Du Nian took the lead with great knowledge and reached out to push open the door. The light inside was very dim. Du Nian closed his eyes and calmed down. Then he opened his eyes and saw the old acquaintance standing in front of a large pile of firewood, looking at him with a smile.

"The boss, the high-ranking official is inside, and the young one is waiting outside. You can give instructions at any time." After Du Nian said that, he retreated aside and sent Du Cheng into the woodshed.

After Du Cheng entered the room, Du Nian bowed and turned around and left the woodshed, brought his back to the door, and guarded the door without blinking.

"The villain has met the high-ranking official."

"Oh, I don't dare to be such a noble person. Please get up, please get up quickly..."

Du Nian outside the door heard the greetings in the inner room, but turned his head and pretended that he had not heard it. Kang Ze, the eunuch in the palace of Concubine Du, secretly left the palace to meet Anle Hou. As long as the news leaked, a disaster would be coming!

Du Nian heard it sincerely. Du Cheng deliberately did not say Kang Ze's official title, but replaced him with noble people, obviously considering the need for confidentiality.

Although Du Cheng has not read many books and is not good at being an official, he has been traveling around the world for many years and his footprints of business are all over the country. In layman's terms, although Du Cheng does not have the great wisdom to govern the country and pacify the world, he has the little wisdom to steal and make money from the brute-minded.

There is nothing else in the woodshed except the pile of firewood. At this critical moment, stay here for a quarter of an hour and don’t have any more risks. Du Cheng and Kang Ze didn’t care about the roughness of the woodshed and simply stood and talked.

"Master, that man bullies my master too much. Not to mention beating my master in public, he even deducts the daily necessities of the little master unscrupulously." Kang Ze sighed heavily and said hatefully, "The old man's body is not cold, so the man is impatient to take this ruthless move. In the future, when the little thing grows up and sits firmly, is that great? As the saying goes, you can kill it and not be humiliated. My master said that instead of sitting there, you should fight to the death with that person."

Du Cheng naturally understood that the person Kang Ze mentioned was the current Empress Dowager Fu. As for Kang Ze's master, Concubine Du, and the little master was Cao Wang Xirang.

However, the Empress Dowager Fu was backed by the power of King Fu Yanqing of Wei, with Fan Zhi helping him, Han Tong, and Zhao Kuangyin was loyal to him, and his power was extremely powerful.

Thinking of this, Du Cheng couldn't help but feel numb and asked Kang Ze in a trembling voice: "What are your master's instructions?"

Kang Ze leaned into Du Cheng's ear and whispered: "Before the old man left, my master had been serving him by his side and took a blank hand edict."

"Ah..." Du Cheng couldn't help but be shocked, and a buzzing sound in his head. He was completely shocked, and his legs couldn't help but shake like a sieve.

Du Cheng never expected that the daughter he raised himself would actually eat Xiong Xin and Leopard's courage and dare to steal Chai Rong's blank hand edict.

"Master, don't you know that the old man was cold before he left, but he was the one who despised my master the most?"

Kang Ze very much disliked Du Cheng's timid and vulgar appearance. However, Concubine Du had no foundation in Kaifeng City. Apart from his own father, Du Cheng, Anle Hou, could he trust such a great event that broke the sky?

Du Cheng's mind was full of mud, but he knew it was powerful, so he forced himself to cheer up and said in a trembling voice: "That's true."

"Master, my master also knows your difficulties. We are too weak. However, although that person is in great difficulty, the only one in the East China Sea is her big nemesis." Kang Ze wanted to slap Du Cheng's head to see why this pig brain is so stupid?

However, Kang Ze, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, understands more than anyone else that if the brothers who fight tigers and father and son fight, no one will supervise the life and death of the Concubine Tai without relying on the help of Anlehou and his son.

In the past, when the mountain tombs collapsed, Concubine Du was particularly favored, and even Kang Ze, the deputy minister, could walk sideways in the palace.

Who would have thought that before the bones of the late emperor were cold, Kang Ze turned from a big celebrity in front of the imperial court to a mouse crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beaten.

It would be fine if someone else came up to step on Kang Ze's few kicks. The most hateful thing is that even the godson brought out by Kang Ze secretly reported to Empress Dowager Fu, causing him to be beaten to pieces. Not only did he not say that the countless money he had received secretly over the years had been scattered.

Since the eunuch in the palace was cut off, the only joy of life was power and money.

The moment he was knocked unconscious, Kang Ze secretly swore that he would take revenge completely as long as he had the chance.

"Master, my master is very considerate of your difficulties. You and your elder brother do not have a single soldier, and there is no protection from important officials in the court. You must not act rashly."

Kang Ze had long seen what kind of person Du Cheng was. If he was asked to raise the flag to rebel, he would be scared and paralyzed on the spot.

Du Cheng listened and must not act rashly, but Kang Ze's words made him tremble with fear.

"My master said, "You only need to send a few confidants to the east to find the man under the name of the name. The man is extremely smart. As long as he takes the treasure, he will definitely know what to do." Kang Ze glanced at the woodshed vigilantly for a week, approached Du Cheng's ear, and whispered: "Once things are done, the director and the young master only seek one sight and reward some silver rice every month."

No matter how stupid Du Cheng is, he knows that something seems wrong. It turns out that he is trying his best to make wedding dresses for others?

Kang Ze couldn't stand Du Cheng's stupid appearance, so he had to grit his teeth and explain softly: "My master has sold such a big favor to the man in the east. At that time, as long as he declares to the outside world that his little master has passed away, he will find another Taoist temple under the nose of the man. In more than ten years, when the man's chair is firmly seated, my little master can marry, have children and pass on the family line."

It was not until Kang Ze explained it thoroughly that Du Cheng suddenly realized that his good daughter had no idea about the supreme dragon throne.

After Kang Ze's reminder, Du Cheng had thoroughly understood the idea of ​​his daughter Concubine Du. Although it was risky, it was always much better than being beaten and scolded all day long.

In fact, no matter how stupid Du Cheng is, he knows clearly that once Empress Dowager Fu settles in the country, Concubine Du and Wang Xirang, who are originally thorns in their eyes, will definitely not have a good ending.

By that time, the palace was full of Queen Mother Fu's people. It was easy to kill Concubine Du and Wang Xirang of Cao, without any effort.

Instead of waiting for death in the future, it would be better to simply send a big gift to Li Zhongyi and then push King Xihui onto the chair to kill him.

With Du Cheng's head, he could not think of such a brilliant plan, but Kang Ze's heart was as clear as a mirror.

The fact that Concubine Du Tai's family was not strong enough, it was impossible for him to support Cao Wangxi to sit on the dragon throne. Moreover, after Li Zhongyi took advantage of the appeal of the hand edict of the late emperor, he would probably learn from Cao Mengde's old examples and temporarily support a son of the late emperor. When the time is right, he would usurp and kill him.

Let’s not talk about him far away. This is what Li Yuan, the Emperor of Tang in the previous dynasty, did. After he took Chang'an, he made Yang Guang’s grandson, the King of Descent Yang You the emperor.

After Emperor Yang of Sui was killed, Li Yuan decisively turned against him, first forcing Yang You to abdicate, and then sent someone to kill the little emperor.

Du Cheng was so scared that he was not as scared as he was at first. He asked Kang Ze suspiciously: "What if the person in the east didn't plan to keep his promise?"

Kang Ze nodded secretly. Although Du Cheng was as stupid as a pig, he finally opened up his mind and asked the key point.

"Actually, this, that..." Kang Ze explained in a very low voice, finally dispelling Du Cheng's concerns.

When Du Cheng thought of his biological daughter, he actually kept an unexpected trick and the chance of success was very high, so he put the heart that had been hanging in his stomach.

After discussing everything, in order not to arouse suspicion, Kang Ze solemnly handed the blank edict to Du Cheng, and hurriedly left the woodshed first.

Du Cheng stuffed his hand edict into his sleeve, groped repeatedly several times, and confirmed that he would not lose it. Then he opened the door of the woodshed and walked into the yard.

Seeing Du Nian looking at him with concern, Du Cheng smiled bitterly and said hatefully: "Han'er is my only son, and he actually broke his life. Humph, although I am weak and incompetent, there is nothing scary anymore. If you are anxious, you will jump over the wall. Who taught me that the Du family will be killed from now on? I also want that person to taste the taste of the country's destruction and death."

This place is not a place to speak. Under the guidance of Dr. Tea, Du Cheng and Du Nian slipped out of the back door of the teahouse. In a short while, they disappeared into the night.

"You will take the boat owner tonight. Be sure to find that person as soon as possible and explain the meaning of the noble person clearly on my behalf." Du Cheng was worried that after returning home, he would easily leak the news, so he found a dark place, handed the small box containing the blank hand edict to Du Nian's hand, and stuffed him a small note, and told him, "This is the place where the money was hidden given by the eunuch. You took it yourself and treated it as a waste on the road."

Unlike Du Cheng, Du Nian, the chief manager of the Marquis' Mansion, helped the Du family in business in his early years. After Du Cheng became a marquis, he came forward to manage various interpersonal relationships. When faced with such a big deal, he had no choice but to think about it for several levels.

"Master, the upper part is always on guard against the east side. If I just took a boat with a secret box on the road, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers patrolling everywhere..." Du Nian's words immediately woke Du Cheng up, which immediately scared him into a cold sweat.

"Oh, I'm used to living a comfortable life, and I'm so confused that I almost missed the big thing. Let's take you to a place, let's sit down and discuss it carefully." Du Cheng was secretly grateful, but fortunately he had become more careful and opened a small shop in the suburbs of Kaifeng for tax evasion.

As soon as Kang Ze returned to the palace gate, he saw Meng Yao, the deputy minister of the eunuch, staring at him with a slight smile.

"Kang Du knows, what are you doing?" Meng Yao bowed his hand in a pretense, with a very polite face, but his bones are full of chills.

Kang Ze bowed his hand and returned the ceremony, sighed deliberately and said, "Go back to Meng Gong, today is the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices and praying for heaven in Changchun Temple. Concubine Du Tai ordered the villain to add money to indulge and oil."

Meng Yao was Kang Ze's immediate superior. In the past, when Concubine Du was favored, this kid and Kang Ze were always called brothers and were extremely enthusiastic.

Unexpectedly, after the death of the late emperor, Empress Dowager Fu took power, and everything was turned upside down. Kang Ze became a good grandson, and was trampled under Meng Yao, completely unwilling to be regarded as a person.

"I have been throwing things in the palace recently. I have been passing words from above. The access control must be strictly investigated." Meng Yao raised his chin, glanced at Kang Ze, who looked like a turtle grandson, and shouted sternly, "Come here, search me carefully, and you are not allowed to let go of a hair."

Kang Ze felt very hatred. Meng Yao was obviously taking revenge on his face and deliberately slashing his face. However, today is different from the past. Kang Ze had to let Meng Yao bully him. Even if he had his teeth removed, he had to swallow it with blood.
