Yanyulou, is the largest and most luxurious inn in the capital, it is said that it was built together by several wealthy businessmen in the capital, and became the place where the official merchants came and went, and over time, it also became a scenery of the capital, which was very eye-catching.

And the Chen family, who holds the bull's ear in the business world, is one of the largest shareholders of Yanyulou.

Seeing that the autumn day was approaching, the imperial court was worried about how to arrange the places where those who returned to Beijing to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday, and people from other countries could naturally temporarily live in the envoys' post houses, but the governors of various states and towns were not envoys from other countries.

For a while, the courtiers were arguing about the place to stay, and there was no definition.

Later, some people still mentioned that yì changed the place where the governors of various states stayed to private inns, and the biggest and best inn in the capital was none other than Yanyulou.

In order to solve the urgent need, the imperial court sent people to contact several shareholders of Yanyulou, and the imperial court paid a sum of money to temporarily charter Yanyulou around the Qianqiu Day, which was specially used as a place to receive the governors of various states and towns.

If you have money to make and make a modest contribution to the court, several wealthy businessmen agreed, so they made a decision and explained it, from the diet to the guest house environment, they tried to be as perfect as possible, so that the guests felt at home!

In this way, everything is deliberately arranged and carried out in an orderly manner.

The thousand autumn days are approaching, and the governors of the prefectures and towns have also arrived in the capital one after another according to the distance. The imperial court sent a commissioner to receive it, and after checking the name post, he followed the procedure, took the official table, first reported it to the Ministry of Rites, checked the number of people, and then submitted it to the household department for money filing. And this group of people will stay in the Yanyu Building first, and wait for the imperial court to issue an edict before officially summoning them.

The Empress Dowager is worthy of being the mainstay of the imperial court, and she is full of her word. The governors of the prefectures and towns received the instructions of the Empress Dowager that only ten people were needed to enter Beijing, and they would really be a team of people with floats and gifts, and there were only ten horsemen.

It is also strange to say, a team of ten people passed through the state and town, and the road was too peaceful, and the rogues did not dare to make trouble, and I don't know if it was because of the morale of the governor of the state and town, or because of the majesty of the imperial court, he did not dare to act rashly......

The governors of Xiangzhou, Bingzhou, and Chongzhou, the three major prefecture towns that were personally instructed by Prime Minister Zuo to entertain good students, also arrived a few days ago, and in accordance with the procedures, they moved into Yanyulou.

Uploaded and issued, the most worrying thing for the imperial court was that the governors of these three states and towns would have complaints about staying in private inns, so the people in charge of reception at the lower levels couldn't help but sweat when they heard that the governors of these three states and towns had arrived one after another, and sent people to serve them diligently. I am afraid that I will be disrespectful and make it difficult for my superiors.

Fortunately, the three chief managers are all reasonable people, and they don't think much about this matter, and they are also kind, but they really look like they came to the capital to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday, and it is not as difficult to serve as imagined.

This made the whole court breathe a sigh of relief!

As the governors of a state, the governors will not act too much according to their own status, and follow the rules of the court in major matters, so as not to give the truth to those officials who are verbose and will make long speeches as soon as they say it, and it will be a headache if they are impeached.

But those juniors don't think so, and when they come to the capital, they can't help but take a good look at the prosperity of Kyoto, and they have to see how different the capital is from the place. Although the elders admonished them tightly, as soon as they stepped out of the sight of the elders, drank wine, and rode on horses, they threw the ban and everything out of the clouds.

Therefore, in the past few years, you can see this group of chaotic Taibao people riding high-headed horses everywhere in the capital. Because this group of people also did a fair and honest way of disturbing the people, dressed in military uniforms, with a sword tied to their waists, after a while of people turned on their horses, if they were hindered by the patrol officers, they sprinkled a lot of money on the spot, saying that they were willing to compensate the bitter lord for the loss.

said that it was compensation, but the words were full of ridicule and disdain, and the bitter masters took the money, and when they saw that the other party was powerful, how dare they offend, so they endured this anger and dispersed.

Without the bitter master, naturally he couldn't detain this group of demon kings of the mixed world, and the servants had no choice but to release them. Because of this, this group of chaotic Taibao became more and more unscrupulous, stirring up a lot of complaints in the capital.

After Xiao Zhao, the king of Jingzhao Yinwei, knew the situation, he severely reprimanded such lawless behavior, intensified his patrol of the city, and never let go of this group of arsonist troublemakers, and personally caught the second son of the governor of Qingzhou, and flogged ten times in public in accordance with the national law, which suppressed the arrogance of this group of chaotic Taibao.

After this incident, Xiao Zhao, the king of Wei, was not afraid of the powerful, and the name of law enforcement was praised by the people. And the governors also strictly controlled their children, not allowing them to act willfully in the capital, and the law and order in the capital gradually returned to normal.

Because of this, this group of Taibao who are looking for flowers and willows everywhere on weekdays, drinking and making trouble, are strictly ordered to stay in the Yanyu Building honestly, and the more resentful they are, and they have nowhere to have a pastime, all of them are unhappy, and they can't wait to eat people.

It's just that the little guys who are waiting in Yanyulou will be beaten and scolded by this group of masters if they are not careful, what kind of life is it......

Just as this group of Taibao people gathered together to drink and chat, beating and scolding the little guy for entertainment, a burly general walked by, and when he saw this person, the Taibao were suddenly silent, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

Why are these chaotic Taibao people so afraid of this person, just because this person is Sima Jiong.

Sima Jiong is the eldest son of Sima Xun, the governor of Bingzhou, and at the age of twenty-eight, he is already a bearded and burly general, but it is a pity that he is a one-eyed dragon, and under the black blindfold on his face, there is a face as cold and stern as a knife carving.

The Taibao in other states and towns are afraid of Sima Jiong, not only because he has a hot temper and it is difficult to coexist peacefully, but what is even more frightening is that this Sima Jiong is a man who will not die when he fights, like a wild beast madman.

I saw Sima Jiong coldly glance at the group of idle chaotic Taibao, and he was stunned to see that group of people shuddering, and they all bowed their heads and didn't dare to look directly.

"What a shame for the Taibao!"

With a cold snort, Sima Jionghu walked through the courtyard and came to a quiet courtyard, where the Chongzhou Taibao Lu Pei was placed.

Take a look at the door of Lu Pei's residence is tightly closed, the sky is blue, the sky is daylight, hiding in the door of the house and not coming out, the second door is not more than a girl, this situation has been for three whole days!

Suddenly, the qi rushed to the top of his head.

Three steps and two steps, leaning in front of the door, slamming the door fiercely, the momentum seemed as long as this Sima Jiong exerted a little more force, this door would have to be scrapped.

"Lu Pei, didn't you kid die inside, did you?

As soon as Sima Jiong shouted, the subordinate who was waiting for Lu Pei hurriedly ran over from the backyard, and when he saw that the person who came was Sima Jiong, he knelt down in front of Sima Jiong with a respectful and fearful face, trembling, and said while kowtowing:

"Master Tiger, it's your old man, the son is repairing in the room, and he ordered him to come down, and he hasn't seen any guests for the past few days......"

Sima Jiong has a hot temper, coupled with his good at foreign boxing, his boxing skills are strong and powerful, and the tiger is mighty, so he won the title of "Mighty Tiger", and his subordinates are used to calling him "Tiger Master"!

Sima Jiong stomped his feet and snorted coldly, almost making his subordinates frightened, and he was so frightened that he fell to the ground softly, for fear of offending this tiger who eats people and does not spit out bones, and lost his life for no reason.

"Am I a guest? I'm his cousin! You go, call him out for me, if you can't call me out, I'll tear you alive, believe it or not?"

The subordinates kept kowtowing in panic, and the son ordered him to come down, whoever dared to go in and disturb him and cut off his way of life, then he would cut off the way of life of the other party's three clans!

If you go into the house, you will die, and if you don't go in, you will die, how is this good?

As soon as I thought of this, I wept bitterly, like a mourner, and said:

"Tiger Master, Tiger Master, the slave begs you, let the slave live!"

If it had been a change to a normal day, someone would have dared to disobey him like this, and he would have been fed to the tiger and leopard by him.

Holding back the anger in his heart, Brother Dugu has repeatedly reminded that this is the capital, not as good as his own family, if he provokes someone's life, he will have to suffer a lawsuit, no matter what, he must endure it, and he is not allowed to kill people at will.

Sima Jiong clenched his fists and made a gurgling sound between bones, which was terrifying.

As for the reason why Lu Pei didn't dare to go out, he had already heard from those useless subordinates, a charlatan warlock, he actually dared to deceive the head of the state capital Taibao, if he saw that old way, he would definitely tear that person apart and peel his skin, and eat his flesh raw!

That Lu Pei is also a coward, he was scared into this shape after a few words, it was really embarrassing to throw people home!

Since he is not allowed to kill people at will, no one will dare to say anything if he smashes this door, right?

"Lu Pei, you coward, since you don't dare to go out, then I'll go in!"

The man was frightened, but he didn't dare to stop it, so he could only pestle to the side with a resigned expression, and looked at Sima Jiong, raised his hands and was about to smash the door......

"Lao Jiong, stop it!"

Behind him, there was a scolding.

As soon as he heard someone's voice, Sima Jiong knew who it was, if there was anyone in this world who could make Sima Jiong willing to surrender to the left, then this person would be Duguxin!

withdrew his fist, turned around and clasped his fist and saluted the man, and asked with some curiosity:

"Brother Xin, how did you get here?"

As he spoke, he walked over to greet him.

This Dugu Xin is the eldest grandson of Dugu Fei, the governor of Xiangzhou, and he is also the heir that the old man Dugu values the most.

Although this Dugu Xin was born in a family of military generals, he is a rare person who cultivates both civil and military affairs, dressed in a Confucian dress but full of military generals, dignified appearance, eyes with gods, sword eyebrows frowned, and thick beard under the nose, showing that people have passed the year of standing, behavior, courtesy and moderation, advance and retreat, it can be seen that the personality is calm, not floating or dry, and the bearing is good!

What makes Sima Jiong respect him so much is not only Dugu Xin's martial arts cultivation, but also his handsome ability and great mind.

Dugu Xin returned a salute to Sima Jiong and said:

"I heard about Lu Pei, so I came to visit. ”

After speaking, Dugu Xin let his origin come and let a woman in green behind him stroll forward, wanting to introduce Sima Jiong to him.

Sima Jiong thanked Duguxin for his visit, and after his eyes skimmed over the woman in green, he suddenly felt that this woman had an outstanding temperament, and the aura around her body was surging, and at first glance, she was a person with martial arts, and she was by no means weaker than him Sima Jiong.

This woman looks very old, about her early twenties, although she is veiled, she has a slender figure, high cloud temples, and the emerald forehead band between her eyebrows, which sets off this woman's extraordinary temperament, and seeing her elegant manners, a combination of rigidity and softness, she must be an outstanding beauty.

Although Sima Jiong said that he was not interested in martial arts in beauty, he was also dyed by this woman's temperament, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Dugu Xin patted Sima Jiong's shoulder and said:

"Lao Jiong, come, let me introduce to you, this is a quiet girl, many people in the rivers and lakes admire her, and often call her 'Jing girl'!"

It turned out to be a heroine of the rivers and lakes, Sima Jiong is the most admired hero-like figure, although she doesn't know how this Jing girl's martial arts are, but she can be treated politely by Brother Dugu, and she is not an ordinary person.

"Ah Jing gave General Sima a salute. ”

While speaking, the woman gave Sima Jiong a gift without losing her elegance.

Sima Jiong was a little flustered when he heard such a pleasant and moving voice of this woman, and hurriedly hugged his fists, saluted back, and said:

"Miss Jing killed my Lao Jiong, my Lao Jiong is a rough person, I don't know much about that set of false etiquette, and I ask the girl to bear with me, if you don't dislike it, just like Brother Xin, just call me Lao Jiong. ”

"General Sima is arrogant, which makes Ah Jing very admirable, so it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate. ”

The woman in green responded politely and politely, so that those born in martial arts were respectful, which is really commendable.

Several people talked happily with each other, and after a while, they got to know each other, and they also understood each other's temperament, and they talked like a fish in water and got along well.

"Just now I heard Brother Dugu probably mention the matter of General Lu Shao, if there is someone Ah Jing can help, Lao Jiong can say it bluntly, Ah Jing will definitely do his best. ”

The quiet tone was gentle and polite, which greatly moved Sima Jiong.

"Alas, I'm ashamed to say that Lu Pei's kid met a Taoist priest who cheated money on the road, and he used that Raush ...... The words on the white paper came out of thin air and the evil demon method that burned the paper itself was frightened, and he was cheated of a lot of money in vain, and it was annoying to mention it!"

Sima Jiong had an indignant expression on his face, firstly he hated the Taoist priest who cheated money, and secondly, he was angry that his cousin was incompetent.

"Oh? Lao Jiong is talking about the spontaneous combustion of blank paper and rune paper?! In this way, it is really possible that he met a warlock in the rivers and lakes, and this kind of deception is very common in the rivers and lakes, so it is not surprising. ”

Sima Jiong was in a trance when he heard that Lu Pei was actually deceived by such a low-level deception, he was really angry and cowardly, and it was not good to have a seizure in front of a woman, so he could only bow his head and blush, sulking.

"Miss Jing is very famous in the rivers and lakes, is there a way to find this person?"

Dugu Xin knew Sima Jiong's temperament, if he didn't let him take revenge, he would definitely be difficult to let go, so that he would have a heart attack.

Tranquility silently glanced at the Dugu letter, only to see that this person's eyes were deep, his mind was difficult to know, although he was smiling, he was actually smiling, and he was a scheming dangerous person at first glance.

Although the Taoist priest said that it was indeed hateful to cheat people out of money, but the Taibao of the state town was a descendant of a governor, that is, rich and expensive, would he care about those money?

The temperament of the Taibao who will repay the eyes of the mixed world is really not in vain!

"Brother Dugu is planning to find the Taoist priest and recover the money?"

Tranquility asked knowingly, but it was just a formality.

How do you know that Dugu Xin is also a very person, he doesn't play cards according to common sense, and directly saves the set of false words to cover up, and he is blunt, saying:

"Silver money is just a trivial matter, that Taoist priest is bold and reckless, dare to tease the state town Taibao, although it is Lu Pei who was humiliated, but I and the state town Taibao are like brothers, teasing Lu Pei, is teasing me Thirteen State Town Taibao, I am the head of the thirteen Taibao, I can't spare that little man lightly, I will have to pay a painful price!"

As the saying goes: it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

The man in front of him is not only a real villain, but also a real villain with ambition and power*. When ingenuity and ambition* merge, a devil more terrible than a demon is born.

Tranquility just bowed his head indifferently, since this was what Dugu Xin wanted, then he did what he wanted, and said:

"Lao Jiong, do you know the origin of the Taoist priest?"

Lao Jiong thought for a moment and said:

"It's not very clear, but I heard the report from the subordinates, saying what the Taoist priest called himself...... Wuyi Mountain, the Taibai Immortal sat down...... Jade Void Scattered People ......"

The quiet Emei frowned slightly, although it was fleeting, but it was really looked at by Dugu Xin.

"What's the matter, Miss Jing has eyebrows?"

Dugu Xin asked expectantly.

Tranquility shook her head and said with a smile:

"No, it's just that I think this name is really a little ridiculous. Since Ah Jing should have accepted this matter, please wait for the good news for Brother Lonely!"

Lonely Xin clasped his fists and saluted, and said:

"Then there's Miss Lao Jing!"

Tranquility said goodbye, then turned to leave, and as he walked, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth......
