Taiping Inn

Everyone is old and hasn't seen each other for a long time, so they still focus on reminiscing about the past. I just mentioned a few words about the Confucian school and did not continue to talk in depth. In order not to arouse doubts, Liu Jinyi did not show any interest, but instead hesitated. This is also reasonable, because the sanren of Jianghu have similar views on major sects and Confucian sects. They are both high and unattainable, and they do not regard people as human beings.

Of course, Xu Tiansheng also understood this truth. As the saying goes, it is not a business. The more eager he is, the more suspicious and deceitful these old people are. So he just mentioned this sentence, and those who have this intention will naturally come to him.

The three of them had a full meal, made an appointment to meet again another day, and then they all dispersed. As soon as Liu Jin came out of Mingsheng Inn, went to the street market, bought some military rations and pills, and then wandered around the street. After a long circle in the city, he made sure there was no tail behind him, and then he turned into a rare and unparalleled one. In the alley. It was already late at this time and the alley was very dark. However, as a master of Guizhen Realm, Liu Jinyi was of course not afraid at all. He quickly walked out of a small door at the end of the alley, knocked on the door gently, and first looked lightly three times. Next, after pausing for three breaths, knocked it harder.

After a while, the door opened from the inside, and there was no light inside. It was shining against the hazy moonlight above his head. As soon as Liu Jin entered the door.

The doorman closed the door again.

Walk through a long passage, walk through several yards, and come to a lobby, with a layout very similar to that of an ordinary inn.

A black painted counter was tall and polished with shiny tiles. There were several jars of wine on the back. It seemed that it was a bit old, and you could smell the fragrance of wine from afar.

A flat coin is round on the outside and square on the inside, spinning drippingly on the counter. The shopkeeper was wearing a half-new robe, and the blue scarf on his head was washed white. He stood behind the counter and stood with his chin with his right hand, staring at the spinning Taiping Qian in a daze. The only guy was sitting on a long bench not far away, dozing off, his head pecking at rice bit by bit.

Liu Jinyi came to the counter, and with a "pop", he reached out and patted the rotating Taiping money under his palm, and then slowly moved his palm away, revealing the four words "Tian Ping" engraved around the front hole on the money.

The shopkeeper raised his head, already had a signature smile on his face, and asked, "This guest official, is it a good person or a hotel? Do you want a girl?"

Liu Jinyi took out a Taiping money from his arms. The four words "Everything is peaceful" were engraved around the square hole, and then paired the Taiping money in his hand with the Taiping money on the counter, working together, and fitting together. It turned out that this was a Taiping money and was divided into two halves. The shopkeeper's hand was on the front, with the four words "Peace in the world" printed on it. The one in Liu Jin's hand was on the back, with the four words "Everything is in peace", two and a half Put it together, it is a complete Taiping Money.

When he met the token, the smile on the shopkeeper's face became a little more sincere, and he asked, "Where are brothers?"

Liu Jinyi replied: "They have a lot of space, and follow the deputy shopkeeper to do things, just call me Lao Liu."

The shopkeeper suddenly felt a little more respect, "I am in a position of the account room, and I am also in the size of the land. I follow the shopkeepers and my surname is Zhang."

The two met each other and Liu Jin said, "Brother Zhang, it is said that a brother from the shopkeeper's side is coming to meet me recently. Have you ever been there?"

Because the meeting time has not been determined, Liu Jinyiben did not have much hope, but Zhang Manager Zhang's answer was beyond his expectations.

Manager Zhang said, "Just arrived, Brother Liu, please come with me."

At some point, the guy had woken up, his eyes were clear and bright, and his temples were bulging. He was obviously a master with good cultivation. He stood behind the counter instead of Zhang Manager Zhang, and Zhang Manager Zhang led Liu Jinyi to the scene. Walk upstairs.

The upstairs were like an ordinary inn, divided into rooms. Zhang Manager Zhang led Liu Jinyi to the door of the third room, knocked gently, and then a young voice came from inside, "Please come in." "

Liu Jinyi was a little surprised. The envoy sent by the shopkeeper seemed to be not very old?

Before Liu Jinyi could continue to think deeply, Zhang Manager Zhang had already given him a look and then left quietly, leaving him alone.

Liu Jinyi hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to push the door and enter.

Then Liu Jinyi confirmed his guess that there was only one person in the room, a teenager, who looked not as good as the crown, had a handsome appearance and a smile on his lips. When Liu Jin came in, he did not give in. He stood up to greet him and bowed.

Liu Jinyi never expected that the shopkeeper would send a young man over. He was a little angry at first, and it was difficult to do errands. If he sent such a young man, wouldn't it be a waste of time? But he quickly realized that since the young shopkeeper had disciples, would this young man be the eldest shopkeeper's disciple?

Thinking of this, Liu Jinyi quickly put away his contempt, solemnly returned the tribute, and said, "There is no worries in the world, and there is no trouble in the world to have peace in the peaceful years."

The young man continued, "The world is stable, and the court comes from all directions every year."

This is the code word, and Liu Jinyi said solemnly: "Let's go to Liu Jinyi."

The young man said, "My surname is Pei, Pei Yu."

The young man's grandfather was Pei Zhou, the former Tongzheng envoy. Since the founding of the dynasty, the Wei Dynasty has implemented the use of culture to build military affairs. From cabinet members in the court to important governors and ministers in the local government, they are all civil officials. The governors in the court must obey the dispatch of the Ministry of War, and the generals in the local government must also obey. The dispatch of the governor, all civil officials formed their own system. For a civil servant, the ultimate wish was to be ranked as the nine ministers in addition to becoming the prime minister.

The so-called six ministries and nine ministers refer to nine civil officials from the first or second ranks in the temple, namely the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of War, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Works, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the Left Censorate. The Chief Censor, and the Tongzheng Envoy. Only by being ranked among the nine ministers can one be considered a true senior official of the court and truly qualified to influence the government.

Although the Tongzheng Envoy was at the end of the Nine Ministers, he was still a second-rank official, and his power was self-evident. Even the chief officials and governors of each state were bound to offer ice and charcoal after entering the capital.

Because of the dispute between the Emperor Party and the Hou Party, Pei Zhou resigned from office and returned home. On the way back, he was chased by Qingluan Guards, but was rescued by Li Xuandu, and Pei Yu met Li Xuandu. Because Li Xuandu was worried about defeat before he was concerned about victory, he confirmed the three successors very early. In terms of Taiping Sect, it was undoubtedly Shen Changsheng, Qingpinghui was Zhou Shuning, and he chose the last Taiping Inn. Pei Yu. Although Li Xuandu was unable to meet Pei Yu in person because of his busy affairs, he handed over this task to Li Feiyan. Judging from the result of Zhang Feishan following Li Feiyan to learn swords, Professor Li Feiyan still has one disciple. It was condom, so Li Xuan was relieved.

Now, Li Xuan has begun to arrange Pei Yu to participate in the affairs of Taiping Inn, starting from an ordinary person. One is to make Pei Yu familiar with the operating mechanism of Taiping Inn, the other is to train and hone, and the third is to make Pei Yu stand up step by step. Li Xuan handed over his prestige to him in the future. He could keep the inn and it was convincing.

Previously, Pei Yu entered the Sheji Academy in Qizhou at the request of Li Feiyan. Because Pei Yu was Pei Zhou's grandson and was born in the Pei family, it was reasonable for Pei Yu to go to the Sheji Academy to study and did not arouse anyone. I doubted that the Academy did not make any difficulties and went very smoothly.

Now Pei Yu came to Zhongzhou as a student of the Sheji Academy. The apparent reason was to come to Wanxiang Academy to study, but in fact he was ordered by the Sheji Academy to offer wine and was rescued by Li Xuandu. It took an opportunity to find a way to get close to Li Xuandu, who was about to come to Longmen Mansion, and tried to follow Li Xuandu, waiting for an opportunity to find out various secrets about Taoist sect from Li Xuandu. Pei Yu's fundamental purpose is to use the identity of a disciple of the Confucian sect as a cover to figure out what conspiracy the Confucian sect is, and then report it to the shopkeeper Li Xuandu. If necessary, Li Xuandu will also ask Pei Yu to pass it on to the Confucian sect. Some news is used to win the faith of Confucianism.

With so many identities added to Pei Yu, Pei Yu's identity is very important and belongs to the Tianzi disciple of the "shopkeeper" school. Even in Taiping Inn, no more than ten people knew his true identity.

Pei Yu has experienced too many things in this year, and her whole body quickly faded from her immaturity and maturity. Facing Liu Jinyi, he was not only not at all reserved, but was very easy-going and natural, "Please sit down, I'll give it a big deal." I called Brother Liu, I hope I don’t mind.”

"Don't mind." Liu Jinyi was a little restrained. He knew in his heart that this young man would be his future boss or even the owner of the inn, so even if he had a higher level, he was still a little careful.

Pei Yu sat opposite Liu Jinyi and said, "Since it was the deputy shopkeeper who chose Brother Liu to meet me, I think Brother Liu is the confidant of the deputy shopkeeper, then I will speak out."

Liu Jin thought of the figure of the deputy shopkeeper, and heard the word "confidant", and couldn't help but feel excited, but his face remained calm and he said, "Please speak."

Pei Yu pondered for a moment, "Brother Liu's job to come to Longmen Mansion should be to investigate the movements of the Confucian Sect. What I'm right?"

Liu Jin nodded.

Pei Yu said: "My errand is similar to Brother Liu, but it needs to be more in-depth. In some things, I need help from others, but it is not easy for too many people to know my existence, so the inn finally chose Brother Liu. As my helper.”

Liu Jinyi's face became solemn, but he did not rush to ask questions, but waited for the following text.

Pei Yu continued, “In other words, many times, Brother Liu needs to represent me to dispatch the brothers inside the inn. Brother Liu means what I mean. Most people inside the inn only know Brother Liu’s. If you exist, but don’t know my existence, Brother Liu is a screen in front of me. I wonder if Brother Liu can understand if I say this?"

Liu Jin nodded and said in a deep voice: "I understand, what should I do?"

Pei Yu said: "First point, look for a suitable opportunity to get in touch with the Confucian Academy and have a clear identity related to the Confucian School, so that I can contact you openly."

Liu Jinyi immediately remembered Xu Tiansheng, "There is a chance right now, but it takes time."
