"It turned out that the pavilion master was in front of him. I'm disrespectful. It seems that I disturbed a good business."
Meng Qi meant something, and the Changxin gang leader turned pale when he said these words, so he almost dug a hole in place and got in.
Not out of shame, but embarrassment, and deep fear.
What did the Changxin help in the inn? Naturally, he wanted to sell news to Fengxing Pavilion.
- The former national teacher appeared, and Fengwei Escort Bureau turned out to be Qi Chao Jinyiwei? !
If Mr. Cai didn't recognize the person, he still wouldn't know the origin of this evil star!
If you run slowly, the news is worthless.
Selling other people's whereabouts for profit and being hit head-on by the bitter master... This has made the scalp numb, and what is even worse, Meng Qi obviously does not seem to be a tolerant and generous person who will not pursue it.
Thinking of what happened last night, the Changxin gang leader felt a chill on the back of his neck.
The trick of feeding mosquitoes is really indescribable. Fortunately, he was covered in mud and dirt, and he had learned some kung fu in his early years, so he was not "cared for" by wild mosquitoes. Guild Master Changxin felt the urge to bark when the sun rose today when he saw the tragic appearance of everyone in the Longtouhui.
It looks itchy.
Changxin's gang leader saved others by himself, and felt that Meng Qi would have to settle accounts with himself.
Little did he know that Meng Qi had long thought of something deeper, and this was not what he wanted to pursue.
"Fengxing Pavilion is famous in the rivers and lakes, and it's not an exaggeration to call it thunderous." Meng Qi looked at the scholar with a half-smile.
"I don't dare, we are just the end of the market, collecting the information that people in the world need and selling it to make a living. How can we dare to fill up in front of Meng Guoshi?"
The Qiu Pavilion Master has a humble demeanor, not at all like a giant crocodile with a prominent reputation.
In fact, Fengxing Pavilion has touched the bottom line of many Jianghu sects. Although there have always been organizations that sell news in martial arts, those people have scruples and dare not do business too exaggeratedly. Usually, they just collect news and sort it out. Sell it after identifying the true and false. Sometimes even rumors are sold, and even become a place where people with intentions spend money to deliberately spread rumors.
This is the Jianghu news monger in the eyes of the big sects. Those who are as unruly as Fengxing Pavilion should disappear early.
As a result, Fengxing Pavilion did not disappear, and it also made a booming business in various places. After receiving the money, it leaked the secrets of the big sect without any scruples. Even the children of many young martial arts seniors who were left behind knew about it, let alone some of them. The filthy deeds done behind the scenes by the virtuous people.
The people who came to the door to ask for trouble, wanted to silence, did things that could not be seen, and were afraid of being known... There are too many.
The safety of Fengxing Pavilion proves that there are many masters under his command, and there are masters at the helm in various places. Compared to this, being able to detect many secrets and grasp all kinds of news at the first time is another great thing.
It was because of the latter that Meng Qi paid attention to Fengxing Pavilion.
Those who have led troops and horses to set foot in Kyushu are all too aware of the importance of intelligence.
The contact with Taijing Peony Square made him interested in Fengxing Pavilion. When I was in Taijing, I followed these people for a while, and finally found that they were out-of-the-ordinary Jianghu people and had nothing to do with the government. But Meng Qi did not relax his vigilance, because Fengxing Pavilion's business targets also included merchants who transported and sold goods.
Zhangkou can tell the price of grain, cloth and salt in various places, where the harvest is poor and where is the abundance, and whether the officials are honest or not... What kind of useful power is this? What is the purpose of cultivating people of this power
While Meng Qi was suspicious, he also felt that he was over-hearted, because Fengxing Pavilion did not have any bad deeds, and also exposed the crimes of many people (although they received money). With the high prices in some places, people suffer less from hoarding and shortage of goods.
Those local firms that try to buy all the goods and drive up the price will encounter merchants who are eager to make a profit, ship by ship, and convoy a day. Unless the government finds a reason to confiscate the goods, no company can control it. Does the market continue to stock up on goods
In the eyes of court officials, Fengxing Pavilion was extremely dangerous and its intentions were unclear.
But in addition, it has more benefits for the common people, and it also dimly constrains those sects in the martial arts who think they can cover the sky with one hand (except for the Qingwu ancestor who wants to rebel and do big things), Meng Qi simply let go of his doubts. .
This world is no longer the Chu Dynasty, and many things are changing. As long as it is not a disaster for the hometown, there is no need to make judgments about other things.
People do not ask the heart, and the Tao does not seek the truth.
If you care too much about other people's original intentions and goals, there will be not many things that can be done in the world.
On the way to Yuzhou by carriage, Meng Qi and Mo Li also mentioned Fengxing Pavilion when they chatted, wondering what such an unusual leader of Jianghu news dealers would look like.
It may be a person in his fifties who has made enough connections in the world to start making money for the elderly, or it may be a young and ambitious person who is ready to do something big. Unexpectedly, they unexpectedly met Fengxing Pavilion Master in this dilapidated inn.
Meng Qi glanced at the innkeeper who was stuck under the counter.
The shopkeepers don't look like people from Fengxing Pavilion. The Changxin gang leader is eager to sell news. How can he find this inn accurately
Could it be—
Ge Changxin, this slick, had met with the Master Fengxing one step earlier. He knew that this big man who knew many secrets of the rivers and lakes was here, he could afford the price, and he was also interested in the rumors of the former national teacher.
"The pavilion master came here, presumably not because of the excitement here."
Meng Qi was referring to the Four Gangs and Twelve Guilds that were still fighting endlessly outside the inn.
The scholar laughed and said, "What's so good about this, how can it be worth buying and selling six hundred taels of gold?"
He was unexpectedly direct, not to mention Meng Qi, even Mo Li was surprised.
What is Fengxing Pavilion doing? How are you
Meng Qi was not very willing to buy it, and jokingly said: "The most expensive news in Fengxing Pavilion is worth thousands of dollars. Which category does Piaoping Pavilion belong to?"
Qiujing said calmly: "Most of the news of Fengxing Pavilion is clearly marked, and it is also a transaction that you love and I want. But sometimes the news also varies from person to person. For example, let's not mention it, Meng Guoshi can also find 600 taels of gold. The ins and outs, buying news is just to verify what you think and save time, so this news is not worth the price in the national teacher. It is not worth it, so I simply use it as a meeting gift. "
These words are so well-spoken and beautiful.
Not only did it sound pleasing to the ear, but also did not lose the face of Fengxing Pavilion.
Mo Li couldn't help but glance at the scholar again.
Meng Qi immediately noticed.
This is not a taste, and Meng Qi will not care about such trivial matters.
What? Is the national teacher such a person
No no, insight into subtlety is clearly an advantage.
Meng Qi paid attention to this because when the master of the Fengxing Pavilion reported his home, Mo Li's reaction seemed to be a beat slower, and he looked at the autumn scenery suspiciously.
It wasn't a surprised reaction, it was more like seeing something suspicious and delaying for further confirmation.
When Meng Qi wanted to ask, the ink carp had returned to its usual appearance.
With this unintentional reminder from the doctor, Meng Qi paid attention everywhere, and now he really sees some clues.
Qiujing was young, but he was very calm, and a group of martial arts masters followed step by step, all of them were obedient and respectful, which made Qiujing look high.
Qiujing's martial arts are not high.
Not as good as his subordinates.
His appearance is unremarkable, and he looks extremely ordinary. When others see him, they will only think that Qiujing has deliberately restrained his breath, making it difficult for people to see through the truth, so they are more afraid to act rashly.
However, what Doctor Mo noticed as soon as they met was another matter.
Qiu Jing's body froze at the slightly changed expressions of the two and the sight that swept across his earlobe and neck.
The owner of Fengxing Pavilion was a little unbelievable in his heart, his smile did not change, and he directly threw out some information about Piaoping Pavilion with sincerity.
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
If this smiling face person has the means and power, and can speak his words without leaking, others will always give him face.
Meng Qi accepted the gesture and left the inn with Mo Li.
As soon as they left, the Changxin gang leader immediately came over with a bitter face, begging for mercy, and swore that he definitely didn't lead people to cheat Qiujing.
Qiujing knew that this was the case, but it didn't prevent him from taking advantage of the topic, intimidating and blackmailing Changxin's gang leader once, making the latter hold back and dare not speak, and finally left embarrassed.
"The pavilion..."
Qiu Jing was called by his subordinates, and then he returned to his senses.
He touched his neck and even took off the "Adam's apple".
This is a fake Adam's apple made of noodles, which is moderately hard and soft. After applying a layer of oil, a layer of soybean powder is added. It matches the skin color and can be said to be exactly the same.
"It didn't fall, how did they find out?" Qiu Jing asked in confusion.
"The pavilion's meaning is—"
The followers were shocked.
His master was actually in his thirties. In order to hide the fact that his voice was slightly higher than that of men, he pretended to be young, and his voice had not completely changed.
"Although the pavilion owner does not often appear in front of people, no one has ever discovered your identity."
Women disguising themselves as men have existed since ancient times, but it is difficult to dress like them.
One is posture, accustomed to the restraint of etiquette, men and women have different habits when walking and talking to meet people, and disguise will have a deep sense of disobedience, which makes people look awkward.
One is talking. Women don’t have many opportunities to see external things, and it is difficult to talk about their own opinions on weekdays, so they are always a little timid and care about being touched.
Of these problems, autumn scenery naturally does not have one.
She doesn't even have pierced ears.
It's not easy, the fake is just an Adam's apple.
A handsome and beautiful young man may be suspected of being a woman disguised as a man.
But for a poor scholar with an unremarkable appearance and a dark complexion, no one would make such suspicions for no reason.
Qiu Jing was born like this.
What willow eyebrows, what cherry mouths are drawn, what Poria powder is applied... No need.
If she was born with a face of hibiscus and a pair of affectionate eyes, and her skin was so fair and fair that she couldn't get sunburned, she would be worried to death.
How inconvenient.
"How did he see the problem in just one face-to-face?" Qiu Jing was talking about Mo Li, and she was puzzled.
"Is there really a genius doctor in the world who can see through the skin and see the bones, and can distinguish between men and women at a glance?"
***
Mr. Cai returned with a sullen face.
The Gang of Four and the Twelve Guild, which had been fighting so hard, went silent in an instant.
Those gang leaders who were full of calculations and had a head of interests were all stunned for a while when they saw the group of people in the Longtouhui who were red, swollen, grinning, and constantly scratching their bodies.
Counting them, it seems that there are not many people, and even the accountant where the dragon head will be kidnapped has been carried back.
Mr. Cai had a row of bags on his face, which was bright red.
The bag bitten by the poisonous mosquito is not only extremely itchy, but also swollen into a round or long square.
Now several lumps are connected together, as if someone had punched him.
This is not bad. After all, Mr. Cai is old, with wrinkles on his face, and mosquitoes are not easy to bite. Those younger gang members, especially those who were fat and prone to sweating, all had a swollen nose, two swollen cheeks, and a terrible neck and chin.
Mr. Cai can still endure and persevere, other people do not have this perseverance.
The more scratched, the more itchy, so the skin including the lump was scratched red and white, and some people were scratched, and their faces were bloodshot.
—Looks like a hard night's battle with a stray cat.
Because of Mr. Cai's face, everyone was laughing.
But soon they stopped laughing.
The reason is naturally the Fengwei Escort Bureau.
Besides, Mr. Cai suffered internal injuries and was tortured by mosquitoes all night. When the acupoints were automatically released, his skills were inevitably slow. After this delay, he could not catch Du Dart's head, who was in a hurry to escape.
The Changxin gang leader over there was not too slow, and in the blink of an eye, only the gang members of the Longtou Club were left by Mr. Cai's side.
Coincidentally, these people who stayed in the city at the Fengwei Escort Agency knew that Meng Guoshi had appeared before because their money bags had been robbed, and they hurriedly retreated in horror. As a result, when Mr. Cai came back, no one from the Fengwei Escort Agency was found.
In order to avoid the troubles arising from the unforeseen circumstances, Mr. Cai simply told Du Datou's identity to the leaders of the other fourteen families of the Four Gangs and Twelve Associations.
The crowd was shocked and angry.
Jianghu people are very resistant to the government, and even those who work for the six gates will be scolded by them as eagle dogs, not to mention Jin Yiwei.
Since the Chen Dynasty, Jinyiwei has been notorious among the people. They have taken care of the tricks of the monarch, the traitor, and the chaos of the dynasty, and they have to mix it up with the bullying of men and women. In short, where there is injustice, there are traces of Jinyiwei. This is the case with the Chen Dynasty, and so is the Qi Dynasty. where to go.
I heard that the most prestigious escort on Yuzhou Road turned out to be the spies of Jin Yiwei. The strong-willed Jianghu people drew knives on the spot, clamoring to hack these guys to kill the people.
A group of local snakes who are so frightened that people dare not go out and do business, open their mouths and say that they want to eliminate harm for the people, which is also very funny.
The people in it didn't feel it at all.
Even if some people feel that it is a pity that they cannot get on the official road, they have to show righteous indignation on the bright side, vying to kill the eagle and dog who are causing disaster.
Mr. Cai had to say two words of consolation to make everyone calm and think more about the brothers in the help and the family members of his subordinates. If you want to live and eat in a world, you can't offend the government.
The crowd made another ruthless remark, and then they all withdrew with the people.
The rivers and lakes are morally righteous, as long as you shout loudly and you feel that you are morally impeccable, who is more serious? Isn't that embarrassing yourself
So the town was quiet.
The yamen and arresters sighed in relief, and went back proudly to show their merits and reward, even if they did nothing, it would not prevent them from putting on their foreheads the achievements of repelling the troublemakers and saving the houses of the county town shop.
Listening to the movement outside, it seemed to return to normal, and the shops on the street finally opened their doors one after another.
Meng Qi didn't plan to leave immediately, the carriage was gone, and he was going to buy some items in the city.
Before, the shops on the street were not open, and it was useless to go out. I simply sat in the inn, but I didn’t expect that there would be a harvest.
"I didn't expect the Fengxing Pavilion Master to be a woman, how did the doctor tell it?"
"... I'm the doctor."
Mo Li was helpless, and added another sentence, "It's still a dragon vein."
Dragon veins will not be confused by the appearance of people, and can see the essence more clearly.
"How did Brother Meng find out?"
"Since the doctor is suspicious, it is naturally right, and you can find out after a few more glances."
Meng Qi felt that this was a good opportunity to tout Mo carp, oh no, Qin Lu's medical skills.
The ink carp who got Mr. Qin's true biography is definitely a genius doctor.
