Speaking of the three words "Qingluanwei", it can be said that everyone knows it.

For hundreds of years, since Emperor Taizu Gao, there has been Qingluanwei.

Its predecessor was the "Tsing Yi Division" set up by Emperor Taizu Gao, which was responsible for the emperor's guards, and was later merged with the "Yiluan Division" in charge of the emperor's honor guard and renamed "Qingluanwei".

As the emperor's personal guard, Qingluanwei's main function is to "drive the guards, patrol and arrest", its leader is the emperor's cronies and military attachés, only obey the emperor's orders, can arrest Manchu officials, including the emperor's relatives, and set up an edict prison, can be alone without going through the three legal divisions to try cases, convict, and even execute.

Therefore, Qingluanwei is notorious among the government and the opposition, from high-ranking officials and nobles, down to the recklessness of the rivers and lakes, and there is no one who is not afraid of his three points.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong Wen of the Great Wei Dynasty, Emperor Taizong once again promoted Qingluanwei.

Originally, although Qingluanwei belonged directly to the emperor, it was still nominally subordinate to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and its leader was just the commander of Zheng Sanpin.

Emperor Taizong split Qingluanwei from the Dadu Governor's Mansion and promoted it to Qingluanwei Governor's Mansion, and the highest official became the Qingluanwei Left Governor from the first rank, which consisted of two right governors of the second grade, as well as a number of people from the second rank of the governor Tongzhi and the third rank of the governor, etc., and the original commander of the third rank became the chief officer of the Qingluanwei of each state capital, and there were two commanders from the third rank and two people from the fourth grade.

The Qingluanwei who appeared in the inn at this time was a Qingluanwei commander of the fourth grade.

Since Qingluanwei stayed at the inn, there was a reasonable explanation for the precious horses in the stables in the yard.

Seeing this Uncle Qingluanwei going downstairs, the proprietress didn't care about Li Xuandu, a Jianghu guest, and hurriedly greeted him, while Li Xuandu came to the counter.

At this time, the shopkeeper standing behind the counter had lowered his head again and began to keep accounts, cracking the abacus, and didn't seem to care at all whether his wife would be taken advantage of by the wolf-like Qingluanwei.

Li Xuandu leaned his elbow against the counter and asked, "Shopkeeper, how is your business lately?"

The shopkeeper's eyes were fixed on the account book, and he said with a sigh of gold: "Acceptable." ”

Li Xuandu asked again: "What is the price of a day's accommodation?"

The shopkeeper said: "If the guest officer lives in the hotel, plus three meals a day, he only needs one penny." ”

"As long as?" Li Xuandu accentuated his tone slightly: "In today's world, buying a little maid from a person's hand is only two taels of silver, if you live in your store for twenty years, wouldn't you have to spend all the value of a little girl?"

The shopkeeper still didn't mean to raise his head, and said in a tone without the slightest fluctuation: "The price has always been like this, if the guest officer is too expensive, he can not live, and the store never asks for it." ”

Li Xuandu was helpless, so he could only take out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, put it on the counter, and said, "I don't know how long I have to live, pay these first, refund more and make up for less." ”

The shopkeeper finally raised his head, glanced at a string of pitch-black beads on Li Xuandu's wrist, and nodded.

Just as the two were talking, the Qingluanwei commanded Tongzhi to explain a few words to the proprietress, and then went back upstairs, and the proprietress beckoned the black-handed young man who was guarding outside to come in, and ordered: "Hurry up and prepare wine and food for the few officials upstairs, the wine needs ten years of Huadiao, and the meat needs cooked beef." ”

The black and thin boy suddenly cried and lost his face, and said bitterly: "Boss, the flower carvings of the past ten years are good to say, we have them in the cellar in our backyard, and the small ones are nothing more than a little more effort, and they are moved out of the cellar, but where can the small cooked beef be changed? You must know that the yamen strictly prohibits killing cattle privately, and if you want to kill the cow, you have to go to the yamen to report first, and this beef is not something you can eat if you want to eat it." ”

The proprietress sat down on the bench and crossed Erlang's legs, "Then I don't care, anyway, before dark, you have to get me the beef back, otherwise you won't want to receive the monthly money this month." ”

The thin black boy sighed and walked out of the inn lobby, and took the yellow-skinned earth dog all the way out of the inn yard, and went somewhere to exchange beef.

Li Xuandu sat opposite the proprietress and asked tentatively, "Boss, are all the officials of Qingluanwei living upstairs?"

The proprietress swallowed the melon seeds again, nodded and said, "No, I arrived this afternoon, half an hour earlier than you, the guest officer." ”

Li Xuandu nodded, deliberately lowered his voice and said: "I have always heard that Qingluanwei is arrogant and domineering, but when I see it today, it is not the same as the rumors, how can there be Qingluanwei in this world who wants some food and has to go downstairs in person?"

Speaking of this, the proprietress suddenly became angry and threw away the melon seeds in her hand, but she didn't dare to speak loudly, and also whispered: "Be careful, I'm afraid that we are a black shop here." Guest officer, you come to evaluate the reasoning, these Qingluanwei, there are dozens of people in total, all of them are five big and three coarse, and everyone carries knives, our inn is just our couple and the little rabbit cub, at most plus a local dog, tired and crooked, what do you dare to think about these uncles?"

The proprietress was still puzzled, glanced at the direction of the stairs, and snorted lightly: "Don't hide it from the guest official, the little woman has also seen some of the world, and she can recognize the level of official quality. If you want me to say, the courage of these Qingluan guards is not as good as those guards who often come to our store to eat and drink. ”

The proprietress said cautiously. Li Xuandu said softly: "After all, you are going out, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." ”

The proprietress saw that he didn't follow his words, so she was a little disappointed, but seeing that this young man was really handsome, she was reluctant to stop talking, so she continued: "What the guest officer said is, but then again, these Qingluanwei are really powerful, not the little woman boasts, the little woman is also a little beautiful, but all the past merchants, there are few righteous gentlemen, bold people, they want to move their hands and feet, timid people, just say some meat words to take advantage, no matter how lustful and gallant, you have to secretly cut off a few taels of meat with your eyes." But these Uncle Qingluanwei do not squint and obey the rules very well. ”

Li Xuandu said with a smile: "It is said that the first-class people have the ability and no temper, the second-class people have the ability and the temper, the third-class people have no ability and no temper, and the fourth-class people have no ability and temper. ”

The proprietress covered her mouth and smiled: "This fart of the guest officer is really ...... But what kind of horns are they?"

Li Xuandu's face did not change and said: "The antelope hangs its horns." ”

"Yes, antelope horns. The proprietress smiled: "It's a pity that those officials can't hear it, and they can't reward the guest officials." ”

Li Xuandu got up from the bench and said, "The boss lady can tell those Qingluanwei officials what she said, if you get the reward, we will divide it fifty-fifty." ”

The proprietress smiled: "The guest officer is really calculating, if you provoke those Qingluanwei uncles to be unhappy, the blame is all the little woman's mine." ”

Li Xuandu said: "If the proprietress is not satisfied, it is okay to divide the three sevens, the proprietress is seven, and I am three." ”

The proprietress covered her mouth and smiled, showing her style.

After chatting a few more words, Li Xuandu asked, "Boss, I have already given the money to the shopkeeper, where is the room?"

The proprietress no longer pestered this handsome young man, snorted the melon seeds again, and said: "The officials of Qingluanwei have covered the entire second floor, so they have to wronged the guest officer, the first room in the backyard, the door is not locked." ”

Li Xuandu clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and walked to the backyard.

The proprietress looked at Li Xuandu's back, raised her voice and reminded: "The guest officer remember to come and eat cooked beef later." ”

Li Xuan didn't look back, just raised his hand, signaling that he knew.
