Chapter 3 Double Sided

Everyone is old and hasn't seen each other for a long time, so they still focus on reminiscing about the past. I just mentioned a few words about the Confucian sect and did not talk deeply. In order not to attract doubts, Liu Jinyi did not show his very interested appearance, but instead hesitated. This is reasonable, because the scattered people in the Jianghu have similar views on the major sects and Confucian sects, they are both high and far away, and they also do not regard people as humans.

Of course, Xu Tiansheng also understood this truth. As the saying goes, rushing is not a business. The more eager he is, the more suspicious and deceitful these old people are. So he just mentioned this sentence, and those who have this intention will naturally come to him.

The three of them had a full meal, made an appointment to meet again another day, and then they dispersed. Liu Jinyi came out of Mingsheng Inn, went to the street market, bought some military rations and pills, and then wandered around the streets, and after a long circle in the city, he made sure there was no tail behind him, so he turned into a little alley. It was too late at this time and the alley was very dark. However, as a master of Guizhen Realm, Liu Jinyi was of course not afraid at all. He quickly walked out of a small door at the end of the alley, knocked gently, first three lights, paused for three breaths, and then knocked heavily.

After a while, the door opened from the inside, and there was no light inside. It was shining against the hazy moonlight above his head. As soon as Liu Jin entered the door.

The doorman closed the door again.

Walk through a long passage, through several yards, and arrive at a lobby, with a layout very similar to that of an ordinary inn.

A black painted counter was tall and polished to a shiny tiles. There were several jars of wine on the back. It seemed that it was a while ago, and you could smell the fragrance of wine from afar.

A Taiping Coin was round on the outside and square on the inside, spinning drippingly on the counter. The shopkeeper was wearing a half-new robe, and the blue scarf on his head was washed white. He stood behind the counter and stood with his chin on his right hand, staring at the spinning Taiping Coin in a daze. The only guy was sitting on a long bench not far away, dozing off, his head was like a chicken pecking at rice, bit by bit.

Liu Jinyi came to the counter, and with a "bang", he reached out and patted the rotating Taiping money under his palm, and then slowly moved his palm away, revealing the four words "Tian Ping" engraved around the front hole on the money.

The shopkeeper raised his head, already had a signature smile on his face, and asked, "This guest official, is he a good friend or stay in a hotel? Do you want a girl?"

Liu Jinyi took out a Taiping money from his arms. The four words "Everything is inscribed around the square hole are engraved with the Taiping money in his hand, and then paired the Taiping money in his hand with the Taiping money on the counter, and cooperated with each other, making it tightly. It turned out that this was a Taiping money that was divided into two halves. The shopkeeper's hand was the front, with the four words "Everything is in peace", and Liu Jin's hand was the back, with the four words "Everything is in peace". The two and a half were combined to make a complete Taiping money.

When he met the token, the smile on the shopkeeper's face became a little more sincere, and he asked, "Where are brothers?"

Liu Jinyi replied: "They have a lot of space, just follow the deputy shopkeeper to do things, just call me Lao Liu."

The shopkeeper suddenly felt a little more respect, "I am so respectful and respectful. I am the accountant and the size of the land. I follow the shopkeepers and work with me. My surname is Zhang."

The two met each other and Liu Jin said, "Brother Zhang, it is said that a brother from the shopkeeper's side is coming to meet me recently. Have you ever been there?"

Because the meeting time has not been determined yet, Liu Jinyiben did not have much hope, but

Zhang Manager Zhang's answer was beyond his expectations.

Manager Zhang said, "Just arrived, Brother Liu, please come with me."

At some point, the guy had woken up, his eyes were clear and his temples were bulging. He was obviously a master with good cultivation. He stood behind the counter instead of Zhang Manager Zhang, and Zhang Manager Zhang led Liu Jin upstairs.

The upstairs were like an ordinary inn, divided into rooms. Manager Zhang led Liu Jinyi to the door of the third guest room, knocked gently, and then a young voice came from inside, "Please come in."

Liu Jinyi was a little surprised. The envoy sent by the shopkeeper seemed to be not very old?

Before Liu Jinyi could continue to think deeply, Manager Zhang had already given him a look and then quietly left, leaving him alone.

Liu Jinyi hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to push the door and enter.

Then Liu Jinyi confirmed his guess. There was only one person in the room, a young man, who looked not as handsome as he was, and had a smile on his lips. Seeing that Liu Jinyi came in, he did not give in, and took the initiative to greet him and bowed.

Liu Jinyi never expected that the shopkeeper would send a young man over. He was a little angry at first, and it was difficult to do errands. Isn’t it delaying to send such a young man? But he quickly realized that since the shopkeeper had disciples, would this young man be the shopkeeper’s disciple?

Thinking of this, Liu Jinyi quickly put away his contempt, solemnly returned the tribute, and said, "There is no worries in the world, and there is no trouble in the world to be peaceful."

The boy continued, "The world is stable, and all directions come to the court every year."

This is the code word, and Liu Jinyi said solemnly: "Let's go to Liu Jinyi."

The young man said, "My surname is Pei, Pei Yu."

The young man's grandfather was Pei Zhou, the former envoy of Tongzheng. Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, he has always implemented the use of civil service to military affairs. From cabinet members in the court to important governors and ministers in the local government, they are all civil servants. The governors in the court must obey the dispatch of the Ministry of War, and the generals in the local government must also obey the dispatch of the governor. All civil servants have their own system. For a civil servant, the ultimate wish is to be ranked as the nine ministers in addition to becoming the prime minister.

The so-called six ministers and nine ministers refer to nine civil officials in the temple, namely the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of War, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Works, the Minister of Works, the Minister of Dali Temple, the Minister of the Censorate, and the Minister of the Left Censor of the Censorate, and the Minister of the Tongzheng Envoy. Only by being ranked in the Nine Ministers can one be considered a true senior official of the court and truly qualified to influence the government.

Although the Tongzheng Envoy was at the end of the Nine Ministers, he was still a second-rank official, and his power was self-evident. Even the chief officials and governors of each state were bound to offer ice and charcoal after entering the capital.

Because of the dispute between the Emperor Party and the Hou Party, Pei Zhou resigned from his post and returned home. He was chased by Qingluan Guard on the way back, but was rescued by Li Xuandu. Pei Yu met Li Xuandu. Because Li Xuandu was worried about defeat before he was concerned about victory, he confirmed the three successors very early. In terms of Taiping Sect, there was no doubt that it was Shen Changsheng, and the Qingping Club was Zhou Shuning. In the end, he chose Pei Yu. Although Li Xuandu was unable to meet Pei Yu in person because of his busy affairs, he handed over this task to Li Feiyan. Judging from the result of Zhang Feishan following Li Feiyan to learn swords, Professor Li Feiyan still has a set of disciples, so Li Xuan was very relieved.

Now, Li Xuan has begun to arrange Pei Yu to participate in the affairs of Taiping Inn, and he has been an ordinary person.

First, it is to make Pei Yu familiar with the operating mechanism of Taiping Inn, second, it is to train and temper, and third, it is to make Pei Yu establish his prestige step by step. In the future, Li Xuan gave him Taiping Inn, so that he could keep the whole in the inn, which was convincing.

Previously, Pei Yu entered the Sheji Academy in Qizhou at the request of Li Feiyan. Because Pei Yu was Pei Zhou's grandson and was born in the Pei family, it was reasonable for Pei Yu to go to the Sheji Academy to study, and it did not arouse anyone's suspicion, and the school did not make any difficulties, and it went very smoothly.

Now Pei Yu came to Zhongzhou as a student of the Sheji Academy. The apparent reason was to come to Wanxiang Academy to study, but in fact he was ordered by the Sheji Academy to sacrificial wine. Taking advantage of the opportunity that he had been rescued by Li Xuandu to find out how to approach Li Xuandu, who was about to come to Longmen Mansion, and tried to follow Li Xuandu, and wait for an opportunity to find out the secrets about the Taoist sect from Li Xuandu. Pei Yu's fundamental purpose was to use the identity of a disciple of the Confucian sect as a cover to figure out what the Confucian sect had, and then report it to the shopkeeper Li Xuandu. If necessary, Li Xuandu would also ask Pei Yu to convey some news to the Confucian sect to gain the faith of Confucian sect.

With so many identities added to Pei Yu, Pei Yu's identity is very important. He belongs to the Tianzi disciple of the "shopkeeper" faction. Even in Taiping Inn, there are no more than ten people who know his true identity.

Pei Yu has experienced too many things in this year, and her whole body quickly faded from her immaturity and maturity. Facing Liu Jinyi, he was not at all reserved, but was very easy-going and natural. "Please sit down, I'll call you Brother Liu, I hope you don't mind."

"Don't mind." Liu Jinyi was a little restrained. He knew in his heart that this young man would be his future boss or even the owner of the inn, so even if he had a higher level, he was still a little careful.

Pei Yu sat opposite Liu Jinyi and said, "Since it was the deputy shopkeeper who chose Brother Liu to meet me, I think Brother Liu is the deputy shopkeeper's confidant, so I will speak out."

Liu Jin thought of the figure of the deputy shopkeeper, and heard the word "confidant", and couldn't help but feel excited, but his face remained calm and he said, "Please speak."

Pei Yu pondered for a moment, "Brother Liu's job to come to Longmen Mansion should be to investigate the movements of the Confucian Party. What I said is correct?"

Liu Jin nodded.

Pei Yu said: "My errand is similar to Brother Liu, but it needs to be more in-depth. In some things, I need help from people, but it is not easy for too many people to know my existence, so in the inn chose Brother Liu as my helper."

Liu Jinyi's face became solemn, but he did not rush to ask questions, but waited for the following.

Pei Yu continued: "In other words, many times, Brother Liu needs to represent me to dispatch the brothers in the inn. Brother Liu means me. Most people in the inn only know about Brother Liu's existence, but not my existence. Brother Liu is a screen in front of me. I wonder if Brother Liu can understand if I say this?"

Liu Jin nodded and said in a deep voice: "I understand, what should I do?"

Pei Yu said: "First point, look for a suitable opportunity to get in touch with the Confucian Academy and have an open identity related to the Confucian School, so that I can contact you openly."
