Lord Huan thought this strange and asked Guan Zhong about it.
“There must be a sage in the capital,” said Guan Zhong.
“My goodness.” exclaimed Lord Huan. “Among the workmen that day, there was one holding a wooden pestle who gazed upward.
Could it have been him?” He then issued an order that all the workmen present on the previous occasion were to come to court again, with no substitutions.
After a short while, Dongguo Chui21 appeared.
“This must be the man,” said Guan Zhong.
He then had an usher conduct Chui in and had him stand midway up the steps leading up to the court.
“Are you the man who spoke of the plan to attack Ju?” he asked.
