The "Mingshi Building" next to Wuyi Lane by the Qinhuai River is a luxury inn opened by the Yuanshan faction in the capital, and at the same time, it is also a secret stronghold of the Yuanshan faction.

"Mingshilou" has undergone great changes after the change of shopkeeper, and on the surface it is still the news base of the Yuanshan faction, but in fact it has become the secret base of the new shopkeeper Leng Ferret.

The former shopkeeper of the "Ming Building", Qian Fatzi, was arrested by Lu Zhongkun of the Yashan faction because of the discord plan of the Police Division, Murong Yun and Ling Fenglei infiltrated the "Xingfang Pavilion" to rescue Qian Fatty, but due to an accidental conflict, Qian Fatzi died under Ling Fenglei's palm.

"Mingshi Building" as an important base for collecting information, its position is very important, Jia Tianming after careful consideration, sent the "smiling tiger" cold ferret as the shopkeeper, after the cold ferret took charge of the "Ming Building", efforts were made to rectify, management is more standardized, operation is more efficient, and its appearance has taken on a new look.

Soon after Leng Ferret took charge of the "Mingshi Building", he implemented a very ingenious discord plan against the Police Division, which dealt a heavy blow to Shen Deyi, the eunuch of the Metropolitan Governor's Seal, and his successful blow to the Police Department won the appreciation of Jia Tianming, the head of the Yuanshan faction, and from then on, Leng Xue Mink firmly controlled the "Mingshi Building".

Murong Yun and Xiao Beiyou planned the heavy strategy of the alliance of various factions in the rivers and lakes to resist the police division, although this strategy won Jia Tianming's support, but it aroused the jealousy of Leng Ferret, who was worried that the success of the alliance's resistance would make Murong Yun's status on Jingyuan Mountain rise rapidly, and then Murong Yun would get Jia Tianming's greater and more trust, and this would be a threat to Leng Ferret.

Leng Xue Mink thought in his heart: "In the current Yuanshan Sect, the status of Murong Yun, Feng Zhenyuan and I is equally important in Jia Tianming's mind. The three of them all have his trust, and the three of them are ranked on a par among the Yuanshan faction, and at the same time, none of the three of them have been able to squeeze into the position of the 'second' of the Yuanshan faction, and if the alliance's counterattack against the police division is successful, then Murong Yun's status will rise, and it is likely to seize the second position of the Yuanshan faction, which will bring a huge obstacle to my future seizure of the position of the head of the sect, which is intolerable. ”

Leng Ferret has such selfishness and ambition in his heart. He then took action to secretly hinder the alliance activities initiated by Murong Yun. Regarding the actions of the various factions in the rivers and lakes to fight back against the police division, Leng Ferro shouted and participated on the surface, but in fact, it was the idea of blocking it.

Jia Tianming once gave an order to the cold ferret and told him to wait for an opportunity to take action against the police department. Leng Ferret ostensibly obeyed Jia Tianming's orders. said that he had been at odds with the police division before. This time, he will definitely crack down on the police department, in fact, he is disobedient to Jia Tianming. He didn't carry out Jia Tianming's order at all, not only did he not take action to crack down on the police division, but also withheld a lot of new information about the new movements of the police division, he deliberately created obstacles to the spread of news, and wanted to make the situation of the police division of the Yuanshan faction ignorant, this is actually going behind the back of the Yuanshan faction, helping the police division, of course, Leng Xue Mink did this not for the police division, but completely for himself.

Leng Xue Mink is a careerist, this time when the various factions besieged the police division, he did not move, and secretly played ghosts, hindering the attack plan of the Yuanshan faction, not so much to sabotage Murong Yun's action strategy, but to damage Jia Tianming's career, Leng Xue Mink has always been playing his own small calculations, what he did was never for the Yuanshan faction, but to expand his own power, he wished that Murong Yun would fail in this alliance operation, his status could rise, he couldn't wait to let Jia Tianming and Shen Deyi die together in the battle, so that he could make a profit and take the opportunity to rise。

Of course, judging from the shape in front of him, Leng Xue Mink had a big contest between the various factions in the rivers and lakes and the police division, although he secretly played tricks and blocked the action, he still felt very happy in his heart, he knew that he could take advantage of the chaos in the rivers and lakes to take the opportunity to expand his power.

After Leng Xue Marten took control of the "Mingshi Building," he stepped up his plan to seize power, and he gradually turned the information network of the Yuanshan faction in the capital into his own intelligence network; he turned the "Mingshi Building" into a secret base for him to expand his own power; and he took advantage of his status as the treasurer of the "Mingshi Building" and the special position of the intelligence leader of the Yuanshan faction to do his best to expand the ranks, recruit talents, and lurk forces.

On the surface, the "Ming Shi Building" has been operating normally, has been warmly welcoming guests and wealthy businessmen, and has always been regarded by Jia Tianming as a stronghold for collecting information controlled by the Yuanshan faction, and the Leng Ferret expansion of power and power seizure actions are very hidden, not only Jia Tianming did not see through his conspiracy, but even Feng Zhenyuan, the military advisor of the Yuanshan faction and the cunning man, did not realize that Leng Ferret was playing tricks.

In the eyes of outsiders, "Mingshilou" has always been calm and safe, there have always been many guests staying in the hotel, and business is very good; in Leng Ferret's view, "Mingshilou" is smooth sailing, and everything is advancing smoothly according to his careful plan, and he is very satisfied with the progress of his career.

However, one day, something unexpected happened in the "Ming Building", which disrupted Leng Ferret's plan to expand its power.

One evening, the "Ming Building" ushered in three merchants, they entered the lobby and asked about the status of the guest room, and after greeting Lin Yiming, the assistant of the inn shopkeeper, they opened two luxurious rooms and lived in them.

The three merchants asked Lin Yiming to help them order wine and food, and after nightfall, they drank in the guest room, and after an hour, they asked the guys at the inn to call Lin Yiming.

Lin Yiming walked into the guest room and asked, "Three guest officers, are you still satisfied with the wine and food?" This is a good dish carefully made by the master of this inn, I hope you will eat and drink to your heart's content!"

One of the merchants said: "The food is very good, the wine is also good, but the drink is not very enjoyable, I want to ask you, the assistant of the shopkeeper, to accompany us to drink a few cups, then it will be enjoyable!"

Lin Yiming looked at the merchant and knew that he was a little drunk, he said: "You three friends, drink happily, you must be able to have fun, you have to greet guests next, you can't drink, please understand!"

An older merchant said: "Assistant Lin, it's nightfall, there are fewer guests coming to stay in the hotel, you don't have to be busy, my little brother wants to drink tonight, please sit down and drink a few cups." I won't miss your business, we have the fate to meet, and it is also fate, in the future, we will often come to stay at your inn, please Assistant Lin don't shirk. ”

Lin Yiming looked at the three businessmen, and knew that they were rich businessmen who ran business, and it was not easy to snub them, he thought: "It seems that these three are very hospitable rich businessmen, and they are very enthusiastic. I've got it to that point. If I don't have a few drinks with them, it will be a problem if the drunk person gets into trouble and it will affect the other customers in the inn. Again. The night was getting deeper. There are fewer guests, so don't be too busy, just have a few drinks with them!" he thought. said: "The three guest officers are so enthusiastic, if they don't appreciate it, it will be very disrespectful, and they are a little embarrassed to let you treat you empty-handed." ”

"Assistant Lin, what are you polite about, I'm very happy that you can accompany us to drink, come, let's have a cup!" said some drunk merchants.

"I wish you a prosperous business, everything goes smoothly, and you are happy!" Lin Yiming said politely.

The four people in the room raised their glasses together and drank them all.

The older merchant asked: "Assistant Lin, you can see that you are shrewd and capable, you often greet guests in the lobby, you are hospitable, you can speak well, look at your sophisticated energy, you must be an old qualified person in the 'Ming Shi Building', you must have been in this inn for a long time, right?"

Lin Yiming looked at the merchant who was asking, and felt that he was asking casually, not like he was asking, so he replied: "It has been more than ten years since I entered this inn, starting from a young man, and I have been working until now, because I have been working in the inn for a long time, and after the new shopkeeper came, he let him be his assistant, often greet guests in the lobby, and try to provide some convenience for guests, which is not a good thing." ”

"Experience is also the ability, do things for a long time on the sophisticated, the inn industry, experience is very important, can be seen, you are very familiar with the habits of various guests, very good at dealing with guests, can greet the guests very happy, this is a big ability, your shopkeeper let you be an assistant, this is very correct, good popularity, business is good, for example, you now accompany us to drink a few cups, we feel very happy, after staying in the hotel, will definitely come to your inn, with you to drink, my little brother is very happy, come, I represent the three of us, toast you three glasses!" said the older merchant.

"Thank you, do it! You are so polite, you can see that you are an expert in the business field, you are not an innkeeper, you can actually talk about the inn in the first place, so that you admire, I am destined to meet you, and I am very happy to meet you, can I ask you, what kind of business do you have?" Lin Yiming asked, he thought: " Although I greet guests every day, I am not just the person who greets guests, I also have the task of observing and understanding the guests and collecting relevant news, since you have invited me to drink, it is better to learn some news from you by the way. ”

"Assistant Lin praised it falsely, I just ran around the business and earned some silver, how dare I call it a connoisseur, usually, mainly to provide some silk and mink skins for some officials, we don't have much capital, we can only earn a little silver to make ends meet, and we are just fooling around in the shopping mall. The older merchant said, he thought: "I was originally here to investigate him, but he wanted to investigate us instead, it seems that this assistant Lin has some eyes, and he must deal with it carefully." ”

"It's very good to be able to do business with the officials, and it must be a sure win, which shows that the three of you are very methodical, and you are what I call 'experts', admire it! Come, let's have a drink!" Lin Yiming said.

"You have been in the inn for a long time, you have met many guests, you have rich experience, you have a lot of knowledge, that is the real connoisseur, this inn, except for the shopkeeper, you are taking care of it, right?" asked the older merchant.

"In addition to Zaixia, there is another assistant, however, he is mainly to contact the affairs outside the inn, the daily affairs in the inn are taken care of in the Xia, you will come often in the future, in the next will provide you with a luxurious room, charge a low price, we can drink again, come, another drink!" Lin Yiming didn't seem to have a lot of alcohol, and after a few drinks, he was a little fluttery.

"Thank you Assistant Lin for treating us as distinguished guests, your inn is in a very good location, luxurious and clean, you are hospitable, very good at greeting guests, I guess, there must be a lot of distinguished guests who come to live here, I am a layman, I take the liberty to ask: Do you have different levels of distinguished guests who enter the inn?" asked the older merchant.

"Of course, colleagues and distinguished guests, different identities, some high-ranking officials, some are rich businessmen, some are gang leaders, some are martial arts leaders, and our mountain leaders, naturally very different, for different distinguished guests, there are different ways to entertain, although all the distinguished guests are like to be respected, entertain them must do what they like, but the specific entertainment, is still different, high-ranking officials like to tout, love special gifts; rich businessmen like to socialize, want to get news in the business field; gang people need popularity, very much is righteous; martial arts people talk chivalrous, appreciate martial arts; as for our mountain up, like new newsLin Yiming came up with alcohol and blew loudly.

The older merchant looked at Lin Yiming's drunken appearance, and thought to himself: "The news base of the Yuanshan faction is not very good, as the assistant of the shopkeeper, the vigilance is so poor, after drinking a few glasses of drugged wine, he is drunk like this, and he tells all the secrets, which is really interesting, however, it is not difficult to see from his drunken words just now that this person often receives people who come down from Jingyuan Mountain, and he should be very familiar with the joint method of the Yuanshan faction, in the second half of the night, he simply tied him back and interrogated him strictly, in his mind, there must be a lot of news that Master Peng wants." ”

The older man winked at the other two, and the two of them understood, and they toasted Lin Yiming several glasses of wine in a row, Lin Yiming pouted, and couldn't even speak clearly, and after a while, he fell asleep.

Just after the ugly hour, the people in the inn were asleep, and the three of them put Lin Yiming into a sack and quietly kidnapped him.

It was a coincidence, tonight, Leng Ferret, the shopkeeper of the "Ming Shi Building", happened to go out on a date with his woman, he was not in the inn, otherwise, with the martial arts and experience of these three people, it was impossible to kidnap Lin Yiming.

Lin Yiming was woken up by a basin of cold water in his drunken dream, he shouted in a daze: "What is this for, why is it so cold?" He was tied to the cell of the police department, tied to a wooden stake, he opened his eyes and saw that the person standing in front of him was the person who drank with him just now, he was inexplicable, he didn't know what their identity was, he didn't know what place this was, he didn't know why he was kidnapped, and he didn't know whether he would die or live, Lin Yiming didn't have any sense of alcohol at all, he felt terrified and desperate. (To be continued......)
