Chu Huan followed Linlang and walked to the door. He saw Su Bo supporting an old man in sixties coming to the lobby. Linlang hurried forward and saluted, "Uncle Xu, why are you here in this cold weather?" He stepped forward and helped Lao Dong Xu into the house. When Chu Huan saw Linlang respecting this old man so much, then this old man must have something to respect and bowed to him.

After the old boss Xu's house sat down, he coughed for a while and looked very weak. Linlang hurriedly asked Uncle Su to make tea, and then smiled bitterly: "Uncle Xu, you are not feeling well. I heard that you have been lying in bed for two months but haven't gotten up. Linlang originally wanted to take some time to see you, but he has never had time. Uncle Xu should not blame him."

Old Dong Xu took out his handkerchief tremblingly, wiped the corner of his mouth, and leaned on the chair. His voice was a little weak, but it was still very clear: "Linlang, I have heard about your affairs... I have heard about it. I could have taken pictures of the boy below, but... but I was worried, so I would come over and take a look in person, so I felt at ease."

Linlang sighed, "Thank you for your memory of Uncle Xu." He said to Chu Huan, "Chu Huan, this is Xu's old boss Quanjusheng, and an old friend of my father. My father started from scratch and relied on Uncle Xu's care. At that time, no one bought the wine we brewed at that time. Uncle Xu's first purchase of wine from Shengquan and me, so he helped my father open the wine market bit by bit!"

The old boss Xu looked at Chu Huan, and Chu Huan had already bowed and said, "My younger brother Chu Huan, I have seen the old boss Xu!"

The old boss Xu waved his hand and said, "No need...no need to be polite!" After coughing for a while, he said, "Linlang, I saw Manager Ma and Manager Zhu on the way. Are they here to bully you?"

Linlang smiled bitterly and said nothing.

The old boss Xu sneered, "You don't have to pay attention to those waiting..." He looked at Linlang again and said, "If it weren't for the people from the Fang family in Xinzhou, I wouldn't know that something big happened to you. Your child really made me angry. If something happened to such a big thing, I didn't say a word to me... After all, I was your father's sworn brother. Although his bones were loose, they had not softened yet, and his mind was not confused. Your father had also explained to you before his death. If there was something... if there was something, go and discuss it. Why are you so disobedient...!" He seemed to be really angry and coughed violently. Linlang hurried forward and patted his boss Xu's back.

The old boss Xu's family was smooth and said, "I am cautious in doing things. Although the world seems to be peaceful now, there are bandits everywhere in the country, and there are also bandits in the country... So I have accumulated a lot of food to cope with unprepared needs. I have sent someone to transport that batch of food to Qingliu County early this morning. Although it is not much, it can also last for you for three or four months, spend more time, and make you think of more ways."

Linlang and Chu Huan were both shocked.

"Uncle Xu, you..." Linlang's voice choked and could not speak for a moment.

Chu Huan could not figure out the details of the old boss Xu's family before, and when he heard what he said, he immediately felt awe.

"No need to say anything else." Old Master Xu raised his hand, waved his hand, and said solemnly: "The wall is falling and everyone pushes it, and it is impossible to bully the weak. The Fang family in Xinzhou sent people to our Yunshan Mansion to promote the loss of food from Shengquan. People from all restaurants visited each other, and this is an opportunity to seize the wine market in Yunshan Mansion...!"

Linlang sneered: "The Fang family has always liked to do this kind of thing that steals people's lives."

The old Dong Dong family of Xu said, "Now that he is in trouble with Shengquan, the Fang family is coming in a big way. They are still holding the title of the Imperial Wine Gate, and they are coming in a fierce manner." After pondering slightly, he whispered: "Liu Juguang deliberately wanted to punish your Su family, and the Fang family took advantage of the situation, but the situation is not optimistic, but... but you don't have to be afraid, there is no other way, and there is a way to Imperial Wine..."

Linlang said: "Uncle Xu is talking about the imperial wine election after the New Year?"

"That's right." Xu's old boss nodded slightly: "The imperial wine election will be held every five years. The day of the election is the 20th day of the first lunar month. Now it is nearly the end of the year. After the Chinese New Year, the imperial wine election will begin. As long as your Su family can win, all the troubles will be solved."

Linlang sighed lightly: "It's not easy to win the championship."

The old Dongdong Xu said, "The Su family's bamboo sake is famous for Yunshan Mansion, and the Fang family's Qianye Hong is absolutely incomparable. The last time he was defeated by the Fang family, it was just an unfair official selected. God was blinded once, and he would not be blinded again for the second time!" The old man coughed again, and then said in a stern manner: "Linlang, the more someone wants to see you, the less you can't let them see you. Remember, there is still righteousness between the world!"

Chu Huan heard the old man's words and said righteous words. He was deeply moved by his ears. He nodded slightly and muttered to himself: "Yes, this world... still has a trace of righteousness!"

Linlang's expression became firm and said, "Uncle Xu, Linlang will not give up. He must fight to comfort his father's spirit in heaven!"

The old boss Xu smiled and nodded slightly, and was about to get up. Linlang hurriedly helped him up. The old boss Xu said, "It's cold this day. I'm not in good health. Go back first. If you encounter trouble, go find me... Linlang, I will not buy a penny for him from the Fang family. You and Shengquan will only have the last drop of wine left. I will also shout and sell it...!"

Linlang was extremely moved, and his eyes were red.

Farewell to the old boss Xu, Chu Huan said: "Daughter, not everyone will take advantage of the situation, but someone will support us later. If you cheer up, we will definitely win the imperial wine selection after the New Year!"

Linlang was relieved. She liked to hear Chu Huan say "we" and "we". That was when she put the two together. When she was in the most difficult time, Chu Huan was always standing beside her, her heart was warm, and she said softly: "Chu Huan, thank you, I...I'm not afraid of anything with you by my side." As soon as she said that, her face felt slightly dizzy and she was quite charming.

...

...

Two more winter snows passed, the weather became colder, and it was only more than ten days before the end of the year. Linlang did not have idle because of difficulties. He counted the accounts at the end of the year, inspected the stores under his name, and checked the accounts. Chu Huan was naturally following him.

On that day, Wei Tianqing sent someone to invite Chu Huan to Shunfeng Pavilion for dinner. Chu Huan said to Linlang, leaving Wang Han and Fat Liu to guard the mansion, and rode a dark horse to Shunfeng Pavilion. As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Wei Tianqing waiting.

After sitting down, Wei Tianqing said mysteriously: "Brother Chu, do you know why you are invited to dinner here?"

Seeing that Wei Tianqing seemed to be happy, Chu Huan smiled and said, "Did Brother Wei be promoted?"

Wei Tianqing laughed and said, "Now I have five thousand imperial guards in my hand. It will be difficult for me to be promoted in Yunshan Mansion. Moreover, the Governor still values ​​me very much and will not let me go easily."

"What's that?" Chu Huan laughed and said, "Brother Wei seems to be very happy?"

Wei Tianqing lowered his voice and said, "Do you still remember those bandits in Jiang?"

Chu Huan was stunned, then understood that Wei Tianqing was talking about Lin Daier and nodded, "Of course I remember." He frowned and said, "Did Brother Wei find out their identities?"

Wei Tianqing nodded and smiled: "Not bad!"

Chu Huan suddenly became interested and asked in a low voice: "Who are they?"

"It's indeed a group of bandits." Wei Tianqing said: "It's still the Divine Uniform Guard's people who are powerful. Start with the horses, follow the clues, and find out the whereabouts of those people!"

Chu Huan was stunned: "Horse?"

Wei Tianqing nodded and said, "Brother Chu, do you still remember that we escaped from danger that day. My wife and I got a horse back. The horse was obtained from the group of Jiang bandits!"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Can those people be found from a horse?"

Wei Tianqing sighed: "I have never believed it when I heard people telling people how powerful the Divine Yiwei is. But in order to solve this case, the Governor secretly invited the Divine Yiwei. The Divine Yiwei only came to a hundred households and three subordinates, so he figured out the matter clearly, which is admirable."

Chu Huan narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice: "How did they find out?"

"My horses in Daqin must be recorded. The fur color, length of legs, body length, mouth shape and tail shape of each horse are measured and recorded very clearly. They can be checked in the horse house of the Ministry of Revenue Department." Wei Tianqing said softly: "But the horse I got was not recorded. It is obviously not a stallion, but a private horse that the horse dealer conceals the government's transactions!"

Chu Huan nodded slightly, but said nothing.

"In fact, it is not difficult to check what private horse dealers are there." Wei Tianqing said: "With the help of local officials, the people of the Shenyiwei secretly searched and finally found the source of this horse. The horses in our Daqin mainly have three origins, one is the northwest horse, one is the Guanzhong horse, and the other is the Liaodong horse."

Chu Huan smiled faintly and said, "It seems that the Guanzhong horse cannot be on the table, right?"

In fact, there is a big reason for his words. Today, when it comes to the advantages and disadvantages of horses, the Xiliang horses of the Xiliang people are naturally the best. The Xiliang Kingdom is located in the northwest of the Qin Dynasty and occupy the land of the nine provinces. Among them, the six states are endless grasslands, with cattle and sheep like clouds and thousands of strong horses. Although the land area is far less than that of the Qin Empire, its geographical structure is special, not only grasslands but also desert land. The Xiliang people are brave and the Xiliang horses are agile, which is famous all over the world.

In addition to the Xiliang horse, the Liaodong horse produced by Liaodong Road in the Qin Dynasty is the most agile, but compared with the output, it is not as strong as the Northwest horse. The Northwest horse is not as strong as the Liaodong horse, but its endurance is better.

In addition, there are also Guanzhong horses produced in the Qin Dynasty, which are not many, and their speed and endurance are far inferior to those of horses in other regions.

However, Guanzhong horses have one advantage, that is, their fur is pure and their appearance looks very beautiful. This kind of horse is also called a noble horse. It cannot pull a cart or fights. However, the short-distance hunting and sprinting are not bad, with fat and long legs and beautiful appearance, which is very popular among the nobles. This type of horse that is not suitable for use is not cheap.

Those who truly understand horses never look down on Guanzhong horses in their hearts, just as those who know people never look down on those embroidered pillows that are not useful.
