Taiping Inn

Feng Yuanshi, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, is also known as the "Beggar King".

A king is not a king, he is not a real king, and he has no territory and subjects. However, in a sense, all the shameful and unfavorable areas in the imperial capital belong to his territory, and those beggars are his subjects. So many people call him the emperor underground and the emperor at night.

However, for Feng Yuanshi, a beggar is a beggar, and the beggar emperor is still a beggar. He wants to get rid of the name of this beggar all his life. The identity he really yearned for was those noble and powerful scholars. In the past few decades, the Taoist sects have been divided, hundreds of schools have declined, and the Confucian sects have dominated the country, which is for true orthodoxy, and even emperors have to give in. It’s a pity that the great scholars looked down on him and rarely dealt with him. Even if they had something to do, they rarely came forward in person. At most, a certain hermit came forward. For example, in the eyes of the Confucian Sect, this beggar king is just a chamber pot. He takes it out when he is used and stuffs it under the bed when he is not used.

In his late years, Feng Yuanshi gradually became open-minded. He just wanted to beggars. He no longer supported the Confucian sect and began to focus on running the Beggars' Sect, which allowed the Beggars' Sect to make great progress in recent years.

There are many branches of the Beggars' Sect, except for their different names, and they are not affiliated with each other. They are like distant relatives. Apart from the name of a relative, they don't have much blood relationship. At most, when helping each other, they mention "the one lineage is passed down," The words "are the same as the branches."

It was a coincidence that Qin Qing vigorously rectified Liaodong and wanted to turn Liaodong into a solid piece of solidarity. As a result, the Beggars' Sects in various prefectures were almost devastating. Such a big move could not have been heard without any news. Some of them were Liaodong. The people from the Beggars' Sect got the news in advance and escaped. These people came to the pass and joined the subordinates of the Beggars' Sect in the Imperial Capital, so the power of the Beggars' Sect under Feng Yuanshi grew stronger again. But in this way, it is inevitable that the quality is uneven. Many people first came to the imperial capital and were not familiar with the rules, which caused many disasters. Feng Yuanshi had to go to the end of the meal again, but fortunately, he had been in the imperial capital for many years and had a deep roots, so there was no difficulty.

When the news of Li Xuandu entering the capital spread throughout the imperial capital, these Beggars' Sects from Liaodong all advised Feng Yuanshi, saying that Li Xuan was all Qin Qing's son-in-law, and this must be for the Liaodong affairs. If Liaodong was allowed to enter the pass, , then the Liaodong Beggars' Gang today is the tomorrow of the Imperial Capital Beggars' Gang. The lessons of the past are not far away, so you must be careful.

Feng Yuanshi also had this concern and was determined to prepare for the future, but Mr. Qingping's reputation was too great and the dignified saint Dan Tai Yun was defeated. What could he do? What's more, it involves the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism, so he can't come forward and cling to it rashly. He really can't advance or retreat, so he finally waited and watched the changes. This is also the sadness of small forces. They don’t even have the chance to sacrifice their lives. They can only go with the flow, all depends on the will of heaven.

In the end, Feng Yuanshi decided not to provoke both the two, and could not afford to provoke the Confucian sect or the Taoist sect. It was a matter of the future when Liaodong entered the pass. If he provoked these two families, he was afraid that a big disaster would be right in front of him.

When Feng Yuanshi received Lu Yanbing's famous letter, he was stunned. He knew Lu Yanbing, and his identity was the confidant of the Empress Dowager, and he became the right governor of Qingluan Guard. His true identity is the disciple of the Great Sword Immortal Li Daoxu, known as Mr. Wu, and is now the leader of the Tiangang Hall of Qingwei Sect. It's fine. Her senior brothers are not ordinary people, especially the fourth senior brother, who is Li Xuandu, the man who makes the huge imperial capital city frightened.

When Lu Yanbing was in the imperial capital in the past, although he did not fight Lu Yanbing himself.

After dealing with each other, the annual bodhis ceremony is a little bit too much. Logically speaking, it should have never offended Lu Yanbing. But the friendship between the two sides cannot be very deep, otherwise they would not have met. So why did Lu Yanbing suddenly visit? Could it be to pass a message to others?

With this thought, Feng Yuanshi met Lu Yanbing in one of his private houses.

Of course, Feng Yuanshi has countless mansions. This private house is quite low-key and is also the place where he lives most often. Many gang members come here to report their affairs to him, which is Feng Yuanshi's residence on the surface.

Lu Yanbing has never been here, but it is not difficult to find it. The housekeeper respectfully welcomed Lu Yanbing and Shen Shuangmei, but the winding path was clear and quiet. He walked around and walked to the main hall and saw a white-haired old man greeting him.

This person is Feng Yuanshi, the "Beggar King".

Feng Yuanshi brought Lu Yanbing into the main hall. He looked at it from the outside, but there was another scene inside. He placed a long table against the north wall. In front of the table was a red sandalwood coffee table with marble surfaces, each with its left and right. Place a Red Sandal Master Chair, which is the main seat. There is a landscape painting in the middle of the wall above the table, which is majestic. The two central halls on both sides are: "Crane Flying Rocks and Smokes" and "Deer Songs and Fragrances of Grass". The walls on both sides are accompanied by banners, mostly of the Confucianism and the Taoist silence of self-cultivation. There are carved red sandalwood wreath chairs on each side, and eight red sandalwood seats with coffee tables are arranged in each side, both east and west. The most rare thing is the ground, with the same color of marble, and each piece is inlaid with marble-shattered stars.

This shocked Shen Shuangmei's case, and many third-rank officials' mansions were not as grand as that.

Feng Yuanshi could not see any beggar's appearance, but he looked like an old gentry. He was slightly owing his body and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Fifth, please sit down."

Lu Yanbing did not refuse and sat down on the main seat on the right, and Shen Shuangmei sat in the upper position on the right.

Feng Yuanshi sat on the chair on the left side of the center and clapped his hands.

Immediately, a capable male servant walked in with hot tea and placed it on the coffee table next to several people.

Lu Yanbing picked up the cover bowl and lifted the lid of the cup. He saw the green bud tips slowly floating onto the water surface of the cover bowl, all floating upright there.

Lu Yanbing sniffed a sip of the tea fragrance and praised, "Good tea."

If we talk about realm cultivation, Lu Yanbing is far inferior to Li Xuandu, but when it comes to these enjoyments, Li Xuandu is far inferior to Lu Yanbing.

Feng Yuanshi smiled, "The first batch of Shifeng new tea this year was picked when the buds were sprouted at night."

"Okay, okay." Lu Yanbing took a sip and placed the teacup next to him.

Feng Yuanshi observed his expression, but could not see any clues in Lu Yanbing's face.

At this time, Lu Yanbing had calmed down and began to politely greet Feng Yuanshi, but he was reluctant to get to the point. After repeated back and forth, Feng Yuanshi couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Fifth suddenly visited, don't know what's going on?"

Lu Yanbing pretended to be surprised and said, "Didn't the king ask me for a sensation? I naturally want to visit the door."

Feng Yuanshi was shocked, but the storm and waves over the years still made him silent and said, "There may be some misunderstandings here."

"Is that true?" Lu Yanbing raised her eyebrows.

Feng Yuanshi's mind changed rapidly, and had already thought about it. He ordered in a deep voice: "Please

Please come, my son. ”

The butler who was waiting next to him hurried away.

Not long after, a young man in fine clothes came to the main hall and saluted Feng Yuanshi respectfully: "Dad."

Because Feng Yuanshi was unable to seek Confucianism in his early years, he valued etiquette as the most important thing in his family. He tried his best to prove that he was also a person who knew etiquette and was able to get rid of his unbearable status. Therefore, the younger generations were very strict in their rituals, which made people unable to find fault.

Feng Yuanshi said "um" regardless of slightness.

This young man is named Feng Lingyao. He is Feng Yuanshi's old son and he is inevitably arrogant.

Judging from his appearance, Feng Yuanshi had thin eyebrows and long eyes and long beards, which was quite a bit of a Confucian scholar. The outline of this Young Master Feng's face is very similar to that of his father, but his eye sockets are deep, but he is following his mother. His mother was a dancer who was a slut, not Feng Yuanshi's wife and concubine. Feng Yuanshi was drunk once and then Feng Lingyao was found. After that, Feng Yuanshi had no children. Because of the difficulty of his son's child's life, although Feng Yuanshi was a little dissatisfied with his son's Lakers bloodline, There is no choice, either.

As Feng Yuanshi grew older, Feng Yuanshi gradually handed over part of his power to this only son, asking him to take over some of the affairs of the gang, and prepare for the entire Beggars' Sect in the future. So when Lu Yanbing came to the door in person, Feng Yuanshi only thought for a moment and guessed something wrong.

When Feng Lingyao entered the door, he saw two young women in the hall, which made him very amazed. However, although he is lustful, he is not stupid. He knows what kind of women can touch and what kind of women cannot touch. At this time, he secretly glanced at him and thought to himself what the background of these two people could actually be received by his father.

Then Feng Yuanshi said, "This is Mr. Lu Yanbing, you should have heard of it."

Feng Lingyao was shocked. Of course he had heard of Lu Yanbing's name, but he had never seen it before. He didn't expect that he was still a beauty. Immediately afterwards, he remembered something that had just happened.

Feng Yuanshi snorted coldly.

Feng Lingyao couldn't help but feel excited.

Feng Yuanshi looked at Lu Yanbing and asked, "Mr. Fifth, what's going on with the 'hello' you just said?"

Lu Yanbing said, "Since Mr. Feng has asked this, I will speak frankly. My friend is going to investigate a case recently and has something to do with your gang. I can't disturb Mr. Feng, so I used Qingluanwei's side. The relationship was, but the result was that someone would greet me, saying that the king said hello to me, and advised me not to wade into the muddy waters."

The Qingluan Guard had a secret stake in the Beggar Gang, which was not a secret. Both sides knew each other. Even when the secret stake first entered the Beggar Gang, Feng Yuanshi knew the identity of the man. This is also an ordinary thing. The court should know the movements of the Beggars' Sect. The Beggars' Sect had no intention of resisting the court, so they cooperated with each other and tacitly understood. The responsibility of the hidden stake is actually to inform the general information of the Beggars' Sect. If you inform them, the top will be assured, and the bottom will be assured. If you really want nothing, you will inevitably suspicion from each other, and it will be difficult for the top and bottom to be unhappy.

Feng Yuanshi understood this truth, but Feng Lingyao, who is still young, may not understand it.

Feng Yuanren was a mature scholar and immediately figured out the past. He suddenly slapped his hand and slapped the coffee table, which made the cover bowl jump up, and said angrily: "Rebellious!"

Feng Lingyao originally wanted to defend himself, but when he saw that his father was not as falsified, he decided to keep silent and kneel down obediently.
