Chapter 629, unexpected
Lu Dali, who returned to the meditation hall, sat on the futon again, knocking on his wooden fish without raising his head. Tang Jiusheng secretly said in his heart, what is this Lu Great Protector doing? Do you want to see the Deputy Pavilion Master of Xinling, and you still have to spend money? This Great Protector is too greedy, right? Tang Jiusheng coughed and said deliberately: "Good! But do a good deed, don't ask about the future, go to see the Deputy Pavilion Master, can you give less silver?"
Lu Dali didn't answer, and the wooden fish in his hand knocked faster. Suddenly, I heard someone outside the door shouting: "Collect a penny of silver to do a penny, collect ten dollars of silver to do ten things, and you can't do things without money! My father and mother have no money! No matter inside or outside the mountains, as long as there is no money, it is difficult to move an inch!" This was the voice of the monk who quit corruption.
Tang Jiusheng heard what the monk said, so he had no choice but to take out more than ten more silver tickets in his arms and throw them into the merit box. Lu Dali knocked the wooden fish again and stopped. Lu Dali put the wooden fish aside, sighed, and said with a heavy face: "Actually, it's not that I want silver, I went to see the pavilion master just now, and I gave out five thousand taels of silver to pay up and down, if I don't give the silver, even if the pavilion master is my own uncle, he will categorically refuse to see me!
Everyone looked at each other, and was thundered by what Lu Dali said. Lu Dali stood up and walked towards the outside of the meditation hall, saying as he walked: "Let's go, go and see the deputy pavilion master! Everyone who sees them has to give silver, and they all have to kowtow!" Lu Dali walked in front, muttering in his mouth, not knowing what he was saying, as if he was scolding, but not as if he was not.
Outside the meditation hall, I walked about 100 zhang inside, and in the clouds and mist, I finally saw the largest building in the mountain behind the Falling Rain Pavilion, the Falling Rain Hall. Luoyu Hall has three floors, almost six or seven zhang high, the main building is mainly brick and wood, vermilion tile red wall, eaves and arches, the momentum is extraordinary, just like the main hall in the imperial city, it is more magnificent than the Yin'an Palace of Tang Jiushengwei Wangfu. On the high plaque, there are gold characters on a blue background, and three big characters, "Falling Rain Hall". According to the law of Great Commerce, such imitation of the palace building is a serious trespass, and it will be copied all over the house.
But this is the Falling Rain Pavilion, the place where the Emperor is far away, who can behead the whole family of the Pavilion Master of the Falling Rain Pavilion? He doesn't dare to borrow a hundred guts from the magistrate, I'm afraid that the local magistrate and county guard just have an idea, and he will fall to the ground. Tang Jiusheng shook his head, and secretly said in his heart, the strength of this Luoyu Pavilion is too strong, it has reached the point where it can override the local government, and there are faint signs of fighting against the imperial court, to the point where it has to be eradicated.
In front of the hall are eight tall pillars, there are Danqi, there are copper cranes and copper turtles on Danqi, and there are nine copper tripods. There are two rows of ten samurai standing on the Dan pier at the gate of the Falling Rain Hall, each holding a copper hammer in their hands, standing proudly, majestic, and vigorous. Lu Dali led everyone to the bottom of the steps, and immediately the outermost two warriors crossed the copper hammers in their hands, blocking everyone's way. Then a purple-clothed man who insisted on dusting the dust came out from behind the gate and asked in a loud voice: "What kind of person dares to trespass into the Falling Rain Hall?
When Lu Dali arrived here, he could only bow down and salute, and said with a smile on his face: "If you want to return your revenge, it is Lu Dali, the great protector of the Luoyu Pavilion, who was ordered by the pavilion master, to bring Shen Xiaoyu, the daughter of the former pavilion master Shen Wentian, and several brothers from the Jiannan branch to come to meet the deputy pavilion master, and ask the deputy pavilion master to receive him!" As he spoke, he bowed his head and bowed his waist, and presented a silver ticket with a face value of one thousand taels with both hands. But he scolded in his heart, grandson, you didn't have such a face when you were invited to drink flower wine!
When the purple-clothed man saw the silver ticket, he put on a smiling face, shook the dust in his left hand, staggered over, took the thousand taels of silver ticket from Lu Dali's hand with his right hand, shook it, stuffed it into his arms, and said proudly: "The deputy pavilion master is busy with official business, and he is taking a nap, so you are all waiting here! When the deputy pavilion master wakes up, I will naturally pass it on to you! Don't make any noise and affect the deputy pavilion master's rest, that's a big crime!"
Lu Dali smiled flatteringly: "Thank you, Lord Qiu! We will wait outside this hall, and promise not to make any sound, just wait for Lord Qiu to pass it on to us! By the way, I will invite Lord Qiu to drink another day, I heard that there are two more beauties in the Qunyu Building, they are very beautiful, and we will definitely invite Lord Qiu to sit there at that time, and I hope that Lord Qiu can enjoy it! Hehehehe......
The purple-robed man who was called Lord Qiu nodded, and said quietly: "Eh, Lu Da Protector is too polite! Although this Falling Rain Hall is in charge of me, but outside the Falling Rain Hall, you are under the jurisdiction of Lu Da Protector, we have a different division of labor, inside and outside the master, although I Qiu Mou is a person next to the deputy cabinet master, but the outside affairs, I have to rely on you Lu Da Protector to settle it! If he has any big and small affairs to the head of the Great Protector, the Great Protector must reward a certain face!"
Lu Dali hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Ouch, Lord Qiu is serious! You are a big celebrity next to the deputy pavilion master, you, as long as you can take care of your brother occasionally, your brother will be grateful!"
Lord Qiu, who was dressed in purple, snorted, turned around and said: "Then I'll go in and see, is the deputy pavilion master still asleep, if the deputy pavilion master wakes up, I will naturally pass it on to you, you must not make a sound, make a noise to the deputy pavilion master to rest, yesterday, Lu Ning just accidentally made a noise to the deputy pavilion master to rest, but was dragged down and beaten to death with a stick, and even the corpse was thrown into the wolf's den, and there were no bones left!
Everyone was shocked, the man surnamed Lu just accidentally disturbed the deputy pavilion master to sleep, and was actually dragged out to be beaten to death to feed the wolf? Because the door of the Falling Rain Hall was closed, Lord Qiu swept the dust and staggered into the Falling Rain Hall through the side door. Tang Jiusheng naturally didn't know what it looked like inside the Falling Rain Hall outside, so he could only stare and wait.
After a stick of incense, Lord Qiu trotted out of the side door with a spring breeze on his face, and said in a loud voice: "The deputy pavilion master has an order, and Lu Dali, Shen Xiaoyu, and the brothers of the Jiannan branch will be promoted!"
Lu Dali said in a loud voice: "Great Protector Lu Dali, Shen Xiaoyu, the daughter of the former Pavilion Master, and all the brothers of the Jiannan Branch Hall, Xie Deputy Pavilion Master, summon you! As soon as everyone entered the side door, suddenly several fierce black-clothed warriors pounced, and without saying a word, they picked up the copper knife and slashed at Tang Jiusheng and the others.
Tang Jiusheng and the others were shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, but they didn't dare to resist. The samurai's sword reached the top of everyone's heads, but stopped. Originally, it was just to test whether everyone had bad intentions, and if they had weapons in their arms and wanted to assassinate the deputy pavilion master, how could they not resist in such a situation? Seeing that everyone did not dare to resist, the black-clothed warriors came to search their bodies, and two more maids standing at the door searched for Shen Xiaoyu, Shui Ruyue, and Xiahou Lingyu. After some searching, they saw that there were no weapons, so they motioned for them to go inside.
From beginning to end, Lord Qiu watched coldly from the side with a whisk of dust and did not say a word. Seeing that the samurai and the maid had finished searching, Qiu Da led everyone to the Falling Rain Hall. Tang Jiusheng was outside, so he thought that the inside of Luoyu Hall must be built like the Yonghe Hall in Yong'an City, and the Yonghe Hall was what the people called the Jinluan Palace. When I came in, I saw that it was a little similar.
In the middle of the lobby of Luoyu Hall is a large desk, and there are several maids in brocade clothes standing next to the desk. Unexpectedly, a man in tattered linen clothes who looked like a farmer sat behind the desk, with his hands on his sleeves, leaning on the big chair, staring coldly at Tang Jiusheng and the others. The man's eyes were very cold, and Tang Jiusheng was terrified.
Isn't it strange that the man was sitting in the gorgeous hall in such tattered clothes? The man suddenly sneered and asked, "Xiaoyu, are these people you brought with you sure that they are the brothers from the Jiannan Branch, and not from the Weiwang Mansion?"
