[Asking for votes, there is another small correction, Zhang Dai's father Zhang Yaofang was fifty-three years old in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, so it was not the right long history of the Lu Wangfu at that time, and the plot was slightly adjusted]

"Yongnian Bo Wang Wei? The goods of the Eastern Mahayana (note: another name for the incense sect) are also matched. Li Rui poured a glass of wine for Wang Xingping, and said with a smile, his tone was quite impatient, but when he looked up and saw Wang Xingping looking at him, Li Rui changed to a courteous look again. It's just clinging to the powerful, Wang Sen wrote Wang Wei's name into the family tree, and the prince himself may not know the root cause of this matter. ”

According to himself, he was originally a landlord in Ninghai Prefecture, the capital of Dengzhou, and his family originally had some wealth, and there was a large area of land by the Wuzhang River in the west of the state border, and he even raised a few beautiful maids sold from North Korea. However, a few years ago, the horses that came down from Baijian Mountain had to go to the side of the canal to do business.

This Li Rui was actually originally a disciple of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and Wang Sen, the founding patriarch of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, claimed to have a fox fairy to give him a tail, and he could give birth to a different fragrance to cure diseases and save people, so he preached in the mouth of the ancient Buddha in Luanzhou, but in Li Rui's words, it was just a kind of incense that a cobbler accidentally found when he burned and buried the dander.

More than 20 years ago, it was this Wang Sen who was sentenced to hanging in Luanzhou for his missionary work, and then bribed the Yongping Mansion to get rid of the officials, and then went to Beijing to dedicate Wang Wei, the father of the current queen of the king, as a family relative, and made friends with the eunuch Wang Dexiang, so that the incense religion has laid a foundation in the north, and millions of believers have gathered in Shandong, Beizhi, Shanxi, Henan, Sichuan and other places for more than ten years. The so-called Yongnian Bo industry is from here, speaking of the king in the capital whether the abbot knows that there is such a Lichun courtyard in Linqing is mostly unspeakable, after all, such climbing is really common now, how can those nobles who are attached care about such a trivial matter.

Wang Xing said calmly that the emperor's father-in-law was too low-minded, and he was actually willing to talk to a cult leader, but after thinking about it, the Ming ancestral system, the queen has always been selected from the people, and the father of the current palace maiden Wang Xijie was only one hundred households before entering the imperial city. Listening to Shen Defu's gossip, in order to give the old man a Jinyi guard commander, the emperor and Zhang Juzheng also had a lot of quarrels, and it took a year to fight for this non-hereditary earl.

However, the imperial family is the imperial prince, and their influence is indispensable in the thoroughfares and ports of various parts of the people. Take this Linqing as an example, the Fuwang who is far away in Luoyang, there is still no shortage of businesses under his banner here, and the favored Dajue in the palace also has a lot of attached industries, and the Lu Fan who is close to the water will not let go of this piece of fat around him, just the business name of silk and satin, Lu Wangfu has two in Linqing.

After all, today's emperor, who is famous for his lazy government, has never been stingy with his family, so when he hears the name of Yongnianbo, the military man's face is not good-looking, and he can understand the reason.

But this Li Rui is a sober person, although he worshiped under Wang Sen's apprentice Li Guoyong, but he has always just been thinking of enjoying the shade under the big tree, and the Li Chuantou above him seems to be the same as him. Since then, Wang Sen, the leader of the Xiangxiang Sect, and his beloved disciple, the newly incarnated Taiji Ancient Buddha Li Guoyong, have become undying rivals.

And this Li Rui is actually a distant relative of Li Guoyong, so he naturally joined the Protestant sect, and now he has an incense head in Linqing, but this inn is his own industry.

In the forty-second year of Wanli, the two factions vendetta against each other, Yongping Mansion once again put Wang Sen in prison and sentenced him to death by hanging, and now Wang Sen is still in Luanzhou prison. However, although Wang Sen was imprisoned, Li Guoyong's life was not easy.

Although it was interesting to listen to Li Ruixu's chatter, and he also heard some secrets in the folk sect, Wang Xingping was not very interested in it.

"Wouldn't it be that Lord Li invited me to this backyard just to arrange a few words of smelling incense?"

"Hehe, Wang Gongzi is a young talent, Li just wants to make friends, so he told the sect about it, and it is also to show his honesty."

"We scholars don't talk weird." Wang Xingping didn't drink either, just said with a faint smile.

After watching a good show, he just returned to the room and was invited by the shopkeeper alone, and he didn't know what this person was thinking, he didn't think that the other party was trying to recruit him to join the church, and he must have another purpose after saying so much.

"That's fine, Li has something to say, I don't know what the relationship between Gongzi and Lu Fan is?"

Wang Xingping raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Didn't proprietor Li already know?" ”

He guessed that most of it was because everyone had eaten and drank together before and said that what they saw and heard in King Lu's Mansion made this person accidentally listen to it, so he simply didn't say anything, and looked at what Li Rui made later.

"That's good, what Gongzi doesn't know is that since Wang Sen was imprisoned, his eldest apprentice Xu Hongru in Yuncheng County has taken over the position of the head of the sect, and the past two years have been more prosperous than before. The last time the government pursued us also affected us, and now we and some other small sects have been oppressed even more by the Wenxiang Sect. ”

"But what does this have to do with me? Could it be that proprietor Li thinks that I, a yellow-haired boy who is not as good as a weak crown, can I still help you fight for something in the sect? ”

"Where did Childe speak, I realized it when you shouted before, and several of these sons were bold. It's not a secret, there is quite some power on the ground of Linqing, and it is reported that His Royal Highness also likes to ask for immortals and asked, I heard that he had dealings with that Taixi monk in the past two years, if the prince can help introduce one or two, I will be grateful. ”

It seems that this benefit of making friends with the emperor's relatives can also be understood by Li Dongzhu, but where does Wang Xingping have any friendship with King Lu, but since others have sent it to the door, he may as well ask for some benefits.

He said: "I am going to Beijing with a friend this time, and I won't be able to come back until next year's spring, so why should I help you introduce you?" ”

Li Rui seemed to have expected this to be the case, and said with a smile: "Although we are not as luxurious as the Wang family's background, we still have some means in the way of alchemy, and there are still some officials in the capital who teach in the capital, if Wang Gongzi can use it, I should be able to recommend it." He pondered the words and said, "If the prince returns next year, if he is willing to fulfill his promise and lead me into the Lu Domain, Li will still have some benefits here." ”

This is said in a vague way, after all, with Li Rui's sobriety, he will not be fascinated by the cult teachings, and the so-called alchemy is mostly aphrodisiacs and ecstasy, which is also a big business.

"Luanzhou is not far from Shanhaiguan, right?" Wang Xingping suddenly asked.

Li Rui was stunned for a moment and said, "It's indeed close." ”

"I don't know if the news from Liaodong is convenient?"

"What does Childe mean by asking?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you, young master, I still have some small business at home, and this time I went to Beijing to see if there was any opportunity, and in addition, at this time, you have opened a shop by the canal, and you must have seen the grain going north, so naturally the news is the most important thing to do business."

Li Ruixin said, is this prince trying to dump the military supplies? A little embarrassed, "Childe is also an understanding person, ordinary news to buy a copy of the mansion in Linqing here does not cost a few silver, but more detailed I am afraid that they are all military aircraft, and Childe can't find out where I know through Lu Di." ”

Wang Xingping asked rhetorically, "I heard that there are many believers in all sects in Beijing, even officials. ”

"Well, this sect does have some reputation in the way of pills, and there are indeed a few officials who are kind to the sect leader, but ......" Li Rui looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Don't worry, proprietor Li, we are communicating with each other, you give me the relationship between Beijing and China, and I also promise you to do my best to help you seek refuge in Lu Di." Wang Xingping is now also learning to be slippery, and he will come when he opens his mouth, and with the style of the emperor's relatives that he knows, as long as Li Ruiken is willing to contribute, most of this matter will be done, how to get a favor in vain, the other party really wants to find a way to get in, and just talking about the way Zhang family is not ready-made.

…………

An hour later, Wang Xingping stood outside a camp outside the East Water Gate, with Xiao Liu and Ding Yi, as well as Qi Biaojia and one of his servants. Li Rui gave him the names of several Beijing officials, and when he saw his official position and age, he looked like he was not in a good career, and it was no wonder that he had a close relationship with these folk sects because of his alchemy, thinking that it was either for his own longevity or to speculate in front of the heavenly family one day. In Wang Xingping's opinion, these so-called resources are indeed of little value, otherwise this Li Rui would not still be oppressed by the Wenxiang Sect in Linqing.

However, after all, it was sent to the door in vain, and it is impossible to say that these relationships can come in handy in the future, and the biggest gain so far is probably to inquire from Li Rui about the station of the Liaoning and Zhejiang troops outside the city.

"This showman doesn't know what to do with Zhou?" Zhou Qi cautiously looked at the young man in front of him with an official accent.

"That's the case, yesterday I saw my friends and I in Zhugan Lane to clean up the gang of splashes, and I was quite relieved, but I saw that your people also injured some brothers, so I came to visit today."

As he spoke, he asked Xiao Liu to present the prepared gold sore medicine and silver.

Seeing this, Zhou Qi hurriedly excused himself, but his eyes were full of vigilance, he couldn't be sure where the person in front of him came from, and he was too young, "Don't dare to accept it." ”

Wang Xingping seemed to have expected it, and said with a smile: "The general misunderstood, the contemptible surname is Wang, he is a thousand households under the Guizhou guard, and you are generally martial artists, and this time he is also going to Beijing to do business." I usually like to read Qi Shaobao's military books, and I have always respected the Zhejiang soldiers, and several of my friends are also villagers from your two Zhejiang. ”

Qi Biaojia also stepped forward to salute, "Qi Biaojia is in Xiashanyin." ”

"San'in? …… I remember, you are ...... Young Master of the Qi Family? Zhejiang's youngest filial piety this year? "That Zhou Qichu heard this name a little familiar, and suddenly realized, this is the young master of the Shanyin Qi family, who is known as a young genius, he happened to see it from afar in Hangzhou on the day of the Luming banquet, although the day was far from seeing the truth, but Qi Biaojia's figure and a Shaoxing township talk will not be fake, even if he changed his face and let everyone into the camp.

Another half an hour passed, and Wang Xingping was already familiar with Zhou Qi.

"It turns out that Yi Ming is the big number of the seventh brother."

At this time, the names of Yiming and Gongming are rotten streets, just like the founding of the People's Republic of China and Weidong in later generations, which is really not unusual, and few people call Zhou Qi's name on weekdays.

Zhou Yiming was embarrassed, "This name is a little Sven, and on weekdays, the brothers' seventh brothers and seventh brothers are called well, so I am used to it." ”

"Yesterday's Seventh Brother wasn't embarrassed by the government, right?" Wang Xingping was concerned about yesterday's fight again.

"The murderers with knives have all been stolen, it is said that the torture is all the incense smelling disciples in Yuncheng, they also have a blacksmith workshop outside the city, and the turtle prince who took the lead in Lichun Yuan is also one of their incense heads, so it doesn't matter about our affairs now." Zhou Yiming laughed, and he was still happy for the bad breath that came out yesterday.

Wang Xingping saw that the other party was in a good mood, so he changed his conversation and asked about the topic he was most concerned about this trip, "Yesterday, I saw that the seventh brother was in command, and the brothers were also quite disciplined in responding to the battle. ”

"Brother Wang has good eyesight, our team was originally the Qi family's army."

"But how did I hear that it was Peng Guerrilla who led the team this time?"

"This is not wrong, our team originally followed General Qi Jin, but now General Qi is doing guerrilla warfare in Tianjin, and I will naturally go north to get it first."

"I see."

"Speaking of which, we will pull out the camp the day after tomorrow, and if the son doesn't dislike it, he can go with us."

"That's unbelievable, I heard that the road in Hebei is not very smooth, and it is a good thing to have Zhou Jun to support us."

Wang Xingping and Zhou Yiming complimented each other again, and then said goodbye and left.
