At the same time, in the winter of the same year, Zhangye County is still full of people on the street, and the major businesses want to make another sum of money before the end of the year, so that they can have a rich year, Zhangye County as a transit station to the Western Regions, gradually evolved from the original dilapidated to today's prosperity, but Zhangye County can be well known, and even spread by word of mouth, not because of its role as a mutual market with the Western Regions, but the inn in Zhangye County --- Yanyu Building.

Zhangye County was still a county under the rule of Ganzhou at that time, the original Yanyulou was called Fulai Inn, which was operated by a Hu merchant in Zhangye County, with the gradual decline of Zhangye, Hu Shang also decided to sell it here and return to the Western Regions, at a price of 50,000 yuan, but no one cared about it, until the beginning of the first year of Renshou (601 AD), three women came to Zhangye County, and asked around where there was a house such as an inn restaurant for sale, and then Hu Shang found three women, negotiated three times and twice, and finally sold the Fulai Inn for 45,000 yuan, and then the Fulai Inn began an overall transformation。

At the beginning of the summer of the same year, Yanyulou officially opened, and it was a coincidence that not long after the opening of Yanyulou, the various caravans operating from the east to the west began to pass through Zhangye County, and with the entry and exit of the caravans, shops, pavilions and even fireworks were also opened one after another, and Zhangye County was restored to its former prosperity.

At that time, Yang Gongren, the assassin of Ganzhou, also praised Yanyulou, but the Silk Road between China and the West at that time had been controlled by Tuyuhun for nearly a hundred years from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui Dynasty, and acted as an intermediary between Chinese and Western trade merchants, which became a great threat to the Sui Dynasty in the management of the Silk Road and the development of trade strategies.

The Hu people were fierce, and they would face each other with swords when they were slightly dissatisfied, so the public security in Zhangye County was also quite chaotic at that time, and the Han people were often bullied and even killed by the Hu people.

But since the opening of the Yanyu Building, the situation has been improved, people who come and go, regardless of Hu Han, must abide by an iron law of Zhangye County: anyone who stays in the county, regardless of Hu Han, is strictly forbidden to draw a knife to face each other, regardless of dignity and humility, it is strictly forbidden to bully others, if there is a dispute, it is necessary to mediate by Yanyu Lou, otherwise they will be dealt with severely.

At first, after this rule was established, many people dismissed it, thinking that a small restaurant had the ability to determine everyone's behavior, but soon two things happened, so that everyone had to re-examine the strength of Yanyulou:

One day in June of the first year of the Great Cause, a group of Hu merchants from the Turks to Beijing passed through Zhangye County, and decided to repair here for a few days, one of the Hu merchants took a fancy to a peach wood sword in the mutual market, so the sword was handed down in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so the seller Zhang Lin made a price of 10 and sold it, Hu Shang felt that his price was too high, and the two of them had a dispute with me, Hu Shang stabbed him in a rage, and then grabbed the peach wood sword and fled to the residence.

Zhang Lin chased to the door of the Rende Medical Center, fell at the door of the medical hall due to bleeding and physical exhaustion, fortunately, the owner of the medical hall, Mr. Mo Lao came back from the clinic, and hurriedly asked people to carry him back to the medical hall for treatment, and when Zhang Lin woke up, he found that he was lying in the medical hall, and hurriedly went down to the ground to kneel down to thank Dr. Mo.

Doctor Mo hurriedly helped him up and said, "Young man, who have you offended and injured like this?"

Zhang Lin sobbed in a low voice while telling Doctor Mo what happened, and after listening to it, Doctor Mo slapped the table angrily and said: "Is there a king in this world, go, the old man will take you to Lord Yang, and let Lord Yang call the shots for you." ”

Zhang Lin shook his head slowly: "It's useless, those who are officials don't care about the lives of the people, it's better for me to try my luck with the people in Yanyulou." After that, he got up and made a gesture to Dr. Mo: "Dr. Mo, your great kindness and virtue Zhang Lin can't be repaid, if you need anything in the future, you can say hello, as for the consultation fee, I will let my family send it tomorrow, and I will leave." ”

After speaking, he left the medical hall and walked home, passing by the gate of Yanyu Building on the way, Zhang Lin stood outside the door and lingered for a long time.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the door of the Yanyu Building suddenly opened, and a woman dressed in white came out of it, looking at Zhang Lin and said: "This guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel or eat, if you live in the hotel, the small shop has good guest rooms, to ensure that it is clean and comfortable; if you want to eat, the small shop has all kinds of delicacies from the north and south, and even the characteristics of the Western Regions, which are guaranteed to be preferential in price and delicious." ”

Zhang Lin looked at the woman in front of him, thought for a long time and said: "I heard that Yanyulou has set a rule: 'Anyone who stays in the county, regardless of Hu Han, is strictly forbidden to draw a knife against each other, regardless of dignity or inferiority, it is strictly forbidden to bully others, if there is a dispute, Yanyulou needs to mediate, otherwise it will be dealt with severely. 'I wonder if it's true?'

The woman in white glanced at Zhang Lin's bloodstained shirt, and smiled weirdly: "Of course it's serious, what, do you have something that Yanyulou needs to come forward to solve?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lin slowly told what happened today, and the woman in white listened to it and said to Zhang Lin with a smile: "Please wait a moment, I will go and get something and go with you to find that group of Hu merchants." After that, he turned around and entered the gate of the Yanyu Building, and after a while, the woman in white and a woman dressed in black and covered with a black veil walked out together, "Mr. Zhang, I forgot to introduce you, the little woman's name is Qingli, this is my sister, surnamed Luo, let's go." ”

The three of them went around and around to the place where Hu Shang stayed, and Qingli asked the woman who was traveling with them: "Go straight in or salute first and then soldier?"

The woman surnamed Luo said slowly: "Salute first and then soldier, at least there is a reason to start." ”

After speaking, Qingli shook the glass sword in his hand, broke open the door of the house where Hu Shang lived, and shouted loudly: "The one who robbed something in the mutual market in the morning and escaped, come out for me!"

After a while, four or five men dressed as Turks ran out of the house, carrying a scimitar upside down, looking at the three people opposite vigilantly, one of the obscene-looking men shouted at Zhang Lin: "You profiteer, a broken sword sells for ten times, Lao Tzu will give you the consistent sword money, and then give you the consistent soup and medicine fee, get out of here, otherwise you will look good today." ”

I saw a woman surnamed Luo take a step forward and said: "His sword sells for ten yuan, if you are too expensive, you can not buy it, but ten yuan is ten money, the imperial court set up a mutual market, just to facilitate the transaction of merchants, you are forced to buy and sell so badly the rules of the mutual market; Regardless of Hu Han here, it is strictly forbidden to face each other with swords, if there is anything to mediate with Yanyulou, you hurt someone today, and you broke the rules of Yanyulou, I will give you a way out, compensate the seller for ten times of sword money, and give him ten times of money and medicine, this matter is like this, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Hearing this, the Hu businessmen present all laughed, and the lewd man laughed: "Little girl, you take yourself too seriously, I will pay an extra ten yuan to buy you back to warm the bed." After saying that, she laughed again, Qingli wiped her forehead after listening to it and thought: These two goods, she probably won't be angry when she says something else to Rakshasa, you dare to say that you will buy her back to warm the bed?

I saw that the woman surnamed Luo took off her veil, revealing a charming face, and her lips opened lightly: "Are you sure you want to buy me back to warm the bed?" After that, he turned out two daggers in his hand, and one dodged into the crowd of Hu Shang like a butterfly, the dagger flew up and down, bringing up a blood flower, and then another dodged and retreated, and in an instant, Hu Shang on the opposite side suddenly fell to the ground and wailed, and there seemed to be blood gushing out of his wrists and ankles, only to see the woman surnamed Luo and said: "How is it?

The lewd man shouted in horror: "Ghost, ghost, don't kill me, I will pay, I will pay, I will pay as much as you want." Please don't kill me. After speaking, he hurriedly fell to the ground and kowtowed, and the rest of the Hu merchants also hurriedly kowtowed together.

The woman surnamed Luo said: "I just asked you to ask you for twenty times, you don't give it, you have to see the red to beg for mercy, so let's do it, you are the first case of hurting people here, how can you also set an example for the behind, in view of the fact that your hands and feet are not broken, a total of fifty times for you is a slight punishment, if you are willing, you will quickly pay for it, if you are unwilling, the little woman will serve the uncles for a while." ”

The obscene Hu Shang was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "The person who came out of the house came out with fifty yuan of money." After a while, a Hu merchant ran out of the house, took fifty guan and put it in front of the woman surnamed Luo, and then ran away in horror.

The woman surnamed Luo turned her head and handed it to Zhang Lin and said: "Take the money and go, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, remember to come to Yanyulou to find us, we don't care about Hu Han's dignity and inferiority, and justice is the first thing in case of trouble." ”

Then he picked up the remaining thirty yuan and turned to Qingli and said, "Let's go, finish the work, and go back to pay the account." ”

After saying that, the two of them left lightly, leaving a place to wail and spectators, the next day those Hu businessmen left Zhangye County early in the morning, since then, the Hu businessmen who come and go seem to have been restrained, so far, Zhang Lin in the mutual market to meet people will praise Yanyulou willing to preside over the axioms, see someone encounter injustice, regardless of Hu Han to send people to Yanyulou. Over time, both Hu and Han in the mutual market praised Yanyulou.
