Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Great Feast

Gao Mingyin was in a good mood, in his opinion, with Tianchen Si personally taking action, it was naturally nine out of ten. As long as this stumbling block is removed, the rest is much simpler.

The previous things did make him lose some face and damage his prestige, but after this incident, not only can he get back what he lost, but also go to the next level.

Soon, his son Gao Shide will be released - after all, there is no big problem, just taking "Wushi San", not to be detained and serving hard labor.

The verdant underneath can reopen, and no one dares to look for trouble anymore.

Even the beggars, how to catch it, how to put it back.

Without Qi Xuansu, those ordinary Taoist priests would not dare to have a hard top with him.

He is also the uncrowned king of the northern city, the emperor of the underground.

As for Daomen's revenge, it is indeed terrifying, but it is not impossible to deal with.

First of all, Daomen is not monolithic, and today's Daomen is in an unprecedented division and confrontation, as evidenced by the outbreak of two major Jiangnan cases in just a few years, which is the result of the wrestling between the two camps and the three major Daomen within Daomen. If a person dies in the true way, the people of the Taiping Tao may not feel the same way, and maybe they will gloat.

Secondly, the Daomen lacks a leader on the surface to teach and a person who has a final word, and many things will become a situation where they are openly arguing and secretly hindering each other. This is somewhat similar to the friends of the previous dynasty, who opposed for the sake of opposition, and there were fewer and fewer places where consensus could be reached.

In fact, the first two points can also be summarized as one point, the lack of a strong leader who can integrate the Daomen, which is the seed planted during the period of the six generations of great masters, and today it has borne bitter fruit. If the Five Generations of Great Masters were still alive, would they dare to do this?

This is also the old tradition of Taoism, divided and combined, just like the general trend of the world, it must be divided for a long time, and it must be combined for a long time. Speaking of rifts, no matter how infighting the Daomen is now, it is stronger than the past when it was divided, and the fragmented Daomen in the past was not forcibly integrated into one place by the Xuan Sheng? Therefore, what Daomen lacks is a leader, a master of Zhongxing.

Finally, this is the Imperial Capital, and the Daomen is not incapable of making some moves in the Imperial Capital City, but he is afraid of His Majesty the Emperor and will not act rashly in the Imperial Capital City. In addition, Xuan Sheng admitted that he had used assassination methods in the process of integrating Daomen, but he believed that Daomen, as the lord of the world, should not use assassination methods as a last resort, because this would damage the legitimacy and legitimacy of Daomen.

The last time the Daomen real person was killed, there was a lot of uproar, and the Daomen did not do it in the imperial capital in the end, but endured it until a few years later, and then killed the person involved by thunderous means outside the imperial capital, and it was not an assassination, in fact, it was an open execution, and the reason why he wanted to make an assassination look was mainly to take care of the face of His Majesty the Emperor. The court was also interested in it, and hastily closed the case with the statement of suicide.

In this case, Gao Ming can't hide the imperial capital.

Anyway, as the largest city in the world, Dijing City has everything, even if you live here for a lifetime, it is not a problem at all.

After all, how can you kill a powerful person in charge of the Dao Sect without paying a little price?

Gao Mingyin thinks that this price is completely worth it, not to mention that he has saved more than 100,000 Taiping money - there are still tens of thousands of Taiping money to be delivered to the "inn".

As for those things that had to go out of the city, he could leave them to his henchmen.

Of course, it is also possible that one day he will suddenly die at home, and finally come to the conclusion that he will die of a violent illness.

But this is also a helpless thing, the lesser of two evils, it is better to be able to die violently in the future than to be forced to death by Qi Xuansu now, he is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and he has experienced all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, not necessarily less powerful than those Jianghu heroes, and there will still be a decision.

All in all, it was a big ditch, and he eventually stepped over it.

On the night of the second day when Gao Shide was shown to the public in Gao Ya, Gao Mingyin and Qi Xuansu met at the Taiping Inn branch in the southeast square of Haosheng, and Qi Xuansu did not return all night. On the third day, Gao Shide finally ended his three-day demonstration and was allowed to go home.

So Gao Mingyin decided to hold a banquet on the evening of this day, invite friends, and give his son "wind and dust", and the location was set at the Taiping Inn Dijing General Number located in Xuanzhen Nanfang.

There is no doubt that Gao Mingyin wants to take this opportunity to show his friends and enemies one thing, this time in the wrestling, he won, and the strong dragon will not suppress the snake.

Even Master Qi, who has a deep background, has been defeated, who will dare to challenge him rashly in the future?

Of course, this matter will not shake the court situation, nor will it attract the interest of the upper class bigwigs, but it still caused a lot of shock in the middle and lower levels of the imperial capital, and many people are talking about the fact that Master Gao Mingyin wants to invite people to a banquet in the imperial capital of the Taiping Inn, and he also specially invited the opera troupe to help the fun.

In the evening, the carriage was already parked outside the gate of the Taiping Inn Dijing - Daomen advocated equality, did not like the sedan chair as a human tool, and believed that the sedan chair was a symbol of the Confucian master, so the carriage flourished again and replaced the sedan chair. Of course, these dignitaries may not recognize the concept of Taoism, and even many people within Taoism do not recognize it, but there are good things at the top, and there are effects at the bottom, since it was proposed by the old man Xuansheng and his family, and it is to draw a clear line with the decadent Confucianism, naturally a large number of people choose to follow suit.

The people who got off the carriage were naturally all silk and satin, and between talking and laughing, they revealed a state of wealth that was difficult for ordinary people to touch.

It is said that Master Gao chartered the venue today, you must know that this is the general number of the imperial capital, some people have estimated that the cost of the charter, plus the flowing banquet, just tonight's expenses, will be close to the 10,000 Taiping money mark.

Of course, the daily turnover of the Taiping Inn Dijing is not as exaggerated as 10,000 Taiping money, but the charter needs to refuse many guests, which will cause losses to the Taiping Inn Inn, and even long-term losses. So the Taiping Inn calculated this part of the loss and magnified it, so it got such a relatively exaggerated figure.

It's not a small amount for anyone.

But Master Gao waved his hand and spent it.

It's not just happy, it's the same reason, whether it's a battlefield or a shopping mall, you can't show your timidity, as long as others are still afraid of yourself and believe in yourself, then you are in debt, and you can also travel freely. Therefore, the more difficult the situation of many businessmen, the more they need to show their extravagance in order to increase the confidence of others in themselves.

In this regard, Westerners are right to say that confidence and credit are more precious than gold.

In the banquet hall on the second floor, the banquet was spread out like a peacock opening the screen, among which there were many big businessmen, gentry and officials, and most of them were people who had dealings with Master Gao. It's just that I haven't seen anyone from the Dao Sect. Obviously, even if some people in the Taoist sect gloat over this matter, they will not openly show it on the surface, and it is precisely not to say things that are not conducive to unity, and not to do things that are not conducive to unity.

A moment later, the main lord Gao arrived, and he came in through a side door, not ostentatious, but as soon as he entered, he still attracted all the attention, and almost everyone stood up and bowed.

Gao Mingyin is a businessman, but he let many officials take the initiative to salute, which shows that his power is huge. No wonder he dared to wrestle his wrist with the mage of the Dao Gate for the sake of a verdant place.

Gao Mingyin returned the salute as he walked, with a gentle, calm and dignified smile on his face, which was similar to the appearance of first whispering in front of Qi Xuansu that day, and then threatening him fiercely.

Gao Shide, known as the "Hua Tai Sui", has not yet appeared, but someone has already reported to Master Gao, saying that Gongzi is on his way back, and he was personally sent by Daomen.

Gao Ming heard the news, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, some proud, some sarcastic, and a little disdainful.

Everyone sat down, Gao Mingyin sat at the main table, on this table, not only the commander of the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses, but also the Tongzhi of the Shuntian Mansion, the general judge and the officials of the official room, all of whom were pivotal figures.

Gao Mingyin exchanged pleasantries with a few friends, saying that after Gao Mingde came back, he would give these uncles a few glasses on his behalf.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door. Soon, a servant came in and whispered a few words to Jiang Zhupo, the mastermind of Gao Ming's hidden plot.

Jiang Zhupo's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly got up and went out.

Soon, Jiang Zhupo returned to the banquet hall with a dead face, and even the whole person was trembling slightly, as if he was quite frightened.

Gao Mingyin noticed the abnormality of this mastermind, and his heart suddenly shuddered, but his face was still calm, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Jiang Zhupo swallowed and said: "Dong Weng, the Dijing Provincial Mansion sent people here. ”

"Now that he's back, what is the unfilial son still doing outside, and he hasn't come in to greet his uncles? Do you want me to meet him personally? Gao Mingyin's face sank.

Jiang Zhupo said in a trembling voice: "It's not that the son doesn't want to come in, it's, it's ......."

At this moment, a voice interrupted: "I personally sent Master Gao back to Master Gao." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a person walking up from the staircase, dressed in the formal suit of the Taoist priest of the four-grade sacrificial wine.

He looked around and smiled, "It's so lively." ”

Many of those who recognized him "bounced" from their seats as if frightened, full of fear.

Some people didn't know him, so they cautiously asked, "Didn't you ask this mage for his name?" ”

The person who came smiled faintly: "It's easy to say, the poor Dao Qi Xuansu, the Qi of the Great Qi Dynasty, the Xuanmen righteous Dao, and the Susu of the world." ”

For a moment, the entire banquet hall on the second floor was as silent as death.

Everyone got up.

Didn't you say that this Qi Master didn't return all night? Didn't you say there was an accident? Why are you still here?

The most frightened person is Gao Mingyin, who knows the most inside information.

His face was bloodless and almost unsteady on his feet, and he had to hold on to the table with his hands.

That's seven celestials!
