Chapter 35 Official Inn

We crossed the river without incident, and there happened to be a new carriage parked on the river bank.

Needless to say, it was Yunyang who prepared it.

Xie Qingyun didn't want to delay any longer, so they got in the car and quickly headed towards the inn where they were going to stay that night.

The group of people who walked slowly and hurriedly until the sky was getting dark finally arrived at Guanyi before the last ray of daylight disappeared.

Xie Qingyun also thought about staying in an ordinary inn.

But when they travel, they may not always arrive at the town in time.

Secondly, ordinary inns are a mixed bag of good and bad, which can easily lead to troubles.

So Runliu prepared a note for Xie Qingyun from the official's relatives and arranged for them to live in the official post.

Yinsheng took the bank note and handed it to the boss of Guanyi Station.

The boss is a woman in her thirties, with shrewd eyes.

She didn't look at the note but looked at the four people first.

His eyes lit up when he glanced at Xie Qingyun and Tianseng.

Then he lowered his head and opened the note. He glanced at it and immediately laughed: "It turns out that she is the daughter of the uncle of the nephew of Mrs. Xue, the Minister of Rites, and the husband's daughter."

"Please come in, please."

She called to the waiter: "Are there any seats available in the Tianzi Room? Two rooms will be opened for these four distinguished guests."

Xiao Er was a little embarrassed: "Sister Yan, there are only two Tianzi rooms left, and they are reserved for the young master of the Cui family."

The boss, who was called Sister Yan, glared at him: "Young Master Cui has never been to our hotel, but he wants us to reserve a room for them. How can there be such a reason?"

It's just because of the Cui family's young master's mysophobia that since the official post was built, they have asked them to leave a room that has never been occupied by anyone for him in case of emergency. Why?

Although they are an official post, they still have to make money.

Xie Qingyun raised her eyebrows when she heard Sister Yan's complaint: "The Cui family? Which Cui family has such a big face?"

Sister Yan said speechlessly: "The eldest son of the grandson of the Cui family in Huainan, his younger uncle is an official in the capital, and he is the minister of the Ministry of Personnel."

Sister Yan murmured again: "The current emperor is cruel and unkind and has killed very few officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I heard that the Cui family's assistant minister is now the backbone of the entire Ministry of Civil Affairs. Although his official position is not that of a minister, it is actually the same as a minister. "

Hearing the boss opposite suddenly commenting on the emperor, Yin Sheng glanced at Xie Qingyun subconsciously.

As a secret guard, he killed many people.

Once you are used to seeing life and death, you no longer fear life and death.

But he was afraid of the emperor.

Especially when the emperor is full of murderous intent.

Silver Moon also looked nervous.

They all knew how terrifying the emperor's anger was.

However, Xie Qingyun acted as if she didn't hear it and just said lightly: "In that case, thank you very much, Sister Yan."

Sister Yan squinted her eyes and smiled, "You're welcome, you're welcome."

She hurriedly greeted the shop waiter: "Don't you take the nobleman upstairs?"

The waiter hurriedly came over and said, "This way, please."

Xie Qingyun followed him, followed by Yinsheng Yinyue.

Only the heavenly monk did not move.

During these days of traveling, he spent most of his time with his eyes closed and chanting sutras.

Although he is good-looking, I don't know if he is hiding it deliberately, but his sense of presence is not very high.

He would follow them wherever they went, just like a shadow.

Suddenly standing still, his sense of presence was suddenly raised.

Everyone looked at him and noticed the change in his temperament.

Becoming a little... noticeable.

Tian Monk looked at Sister Yan with cold and deep eyes.

Everyone vaguely felt that he must have something important to say.

As a heavenly monk, it is unclear whether he had a premonition of something.

Everyone looked at Tianseng.

Including Xie Qingyun.

The monk spoke, but it was not a premonition.

Instead he said: "The emperor is not cruel and unkind."

"What?" Sister Yan didn't react for a moment.

"The emperor is diligent in his work and loves his people. He is not cruel and unkind as you said." The monk repeated it again seriously.

Hearing what he said, Yinyue quickly reacted and echoed: "Yes, the people now live and work in peace and contentment, and the world is peaceful and peaceful. Isn't it all the emperor's credit?"

Although Xie Qingyun killed ministers, she never criticized the people harshly.

On the contrary, she was very dedicated to her career and never neglected political affairs.

Often I'm still reviewing the book in the early hours of the morning.

not to mention.
Yinyue subconsciously glanced at Xie Qingyun beside her.

He was dusty, and his face still showed the tiredness that could not be concealed after the journey.

If she was really cruel and cruel, how could she personally come out to solve the issue of women's imperial examination?

She clearly loves her country and her people.

Yinyue felt a little guilty for not standing up to refute immediately.

Sister Yan looked at the people in front of her and laughed.

"Look at my mouth."

She hit herself lightly: "I really can't speak out of my mind."

"You are right, the emperor is by no means cruel and unkind."

As a commoner, she knows best how she lives her life.

Nowadays, the country has not only reduced taxes, but also eliminated many cumbersome regulations such as curfews.

Compared with before, people are not only much more relaxed, but also much freer.

Sister Yan sighed.

It's just that because this is an official post, most of the people who stay here hate the emperor deeply.

As time went by, she began to do what he wanted, complaining about the emperor with the people who came to stay here.

It has always been echoed, and even those who do not agree will not refute it.

That's why she never felt anything was wrong.

After being reminded by this person today, Sister Yan suddenly realized that their emperor was actually a good emperor.

However, while they were thinking about whether the emperor was good or bad, the person involved in the incident did not care at all about his position in the hearts of the people.

Anyway, she has a clear conscience.

Xie Qingyun is now focused on Tianseng.She looked in his direction, her eyes bright.

Feeling an extremely hot gaze staring at him, Tian Monk subconsciously looked over.

The moment his eyes met Xie Qingyun's, he immediately turned his eyes away.

The breath that was still eye-catching was instantly suppressed by him.

The Heavenly Monk lowered his eyes, half of his face hidden in his turban, flickering in the light and shadow of the inn.

His face seems a little redder than before?

Xie Qingyun didn't know if it was her imagination.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and for some reason, her mood suddenly became very good.

In fact, when her boss said bad things about her just now, she didn't think anything of it.

I have been scolded so much that I have become immune to it.

But this feeling of being protected was the first time.

It turned out to be so...happy.

Xie Qingyun looked at Tianseng and was about to say something when she heard a burst of noise at the door.

Soon a man in his twenties walked in with a dog, followed by a large group of people cheering behind him.

The man looked around and his eyes fell on Xie Qingyun and the others. He looked up and down and smiled: "Now anyone can come and live in Guanyi."

Looking at the clothes of the people in front of me, I don't know if they are poor relatives of some official family in a remote area.

Just because someone in my family is an official, I came here to catch the autumn wind.

The man looked at people with his nostrils, looked at everyone, and announced his name: "Cui Xin."

Sister Yan's eyes widened when she heard the name.

Choi Shin?

Isn't that the young master of the Cui family?
She secretly groaned.

Why didn't you come earlier or later? Why come here today?

Looking at Sister Yan's troubled eyes, Xie Qingyun understood something in her heart.

But she was in a good mood today and didn't want to care.

What's more, I need to conceal my identity and it's inconvenient to be too high-profile.

"Sister Yan."

Xie Qingyun said softly: "Second-class rooms are also available."

Sister Yan's face was touched by the considerateness of the girl in front of her.

But she has principles. Once she gives it, she has no reason to take it back.

Sister Yan looked at Cui Xin, rolled her eyes, and went up to greet him: "I don't know if Mr. Cui is here, but the slave family is far away to greet him."

Cui Xin was too lazy to talk to them. They were a group of low-class people who were not worthy of talking to him.If he could, he wouldn't even want to stand in the same room with them.

The air is dirty.

Seeing this, his men shouted: "You are so attentive here, please prepare our young master's room quickly."

Sister Yan responded quickly: "Room No. [-] in Tianzi has been prepared for Master Cui a long time ago."

She called the waiter: "Why don't you bring Master Cui up?"

Cui Xin frowned: "Why is there only one room?"

He remembered that he had requested two rooms in advance.

Sister Yan smiled and said: "The second room is already occupied by someone else. Besides, I think Master Cui is alone today..."

Before she could finish her words, Cui Xin's dog barked first.

Baring his teeth at Sister Yan.

It seemed that without the owner holding her back, he could immediately pounce on her and bite her neck off.

Cui Xin patted the dog's head, comforted it, and said slowly: "Who said I am only one person?"

"My dog ​​needs a room too."

He looked at Sister Yan: "Tell me, who gave room No. [-] to? I will go find him personally and tell him."

Sister Yan's eyes subconsciously glanced at Xie Qingyun and his party.

Cui Xin understood, and anger followed.

A group of low-class people actually wanted to compete with his dog for a room?
Cui Xin turned his head and looked at Xie Qingyun and the others: "Whose relatives are you? What kind of travel notes did you get?"

Sister Yan hurriedly said: "It's the official note from the Minister of Rites."

She omitted the long list of prefixes.

However, Sister Yan didn't know that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel never dealt with her.

When two families meet, they will naturally not be happy.

Sure enough, before Cui Xin could say anything, several of his men behind him began to sarcastically ask, "You are dressed in such ragged clothes. Not only do you think you are staying here, do you think you are fleeing the famine?"

"Do you deserve to live in a Tianzihao room like this?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Sister Yan hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Oh, Mr. Cui misunderstood."

"The guests in Tianzi Room [-] are not them."

Sister Yan stood in front of Xie Qingyun and the others, trying to block the sight of both parties.

However it didn't work.

"The residents of Tianzi Room [-] are us."

Xie Qingyun's voice sounded clear and bright in the quiet inn.

Sister Yan felt like crying but had no tears left.

Cui Xin's brows knitted together and he looked past Sister Yan, trying to look at the woman who was speaking.

However, the moment his eyes met hers, he felt a little stiff.

For some reason, the oppressive feeling emanating from the woman made him suddenly afraid to speak.

Cui Xin, who was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, became even more angry.

What kind of magic did this little girl use to suppress him?
Cui Xin said angrily: "Don't say that you are just family members. Even if the Minister of Rites comes here in person, you are not worthy of competing for a room with my dog!"

What a joke, the Huainan Cui family is a big family with a century-old history.

How could that poor boy who climbed up through the imperial examinations be able to compare?

In this world, apart from the emperor, there is no other person who can touch the Cui family.

The dog held by Cui Xin felt the owner's anger and barked at Xie Qingyun.

However, after shouting twice, he withered under Xie Qingyun's terrifying eyes.

He hid behind Cui Xin with his tail between his legs.

Cui Xin said bitterly: "If you are wise, please give up the room and get out of here. Don't let me see you again."

"You alone are not worthy of living in the same inn as me."

These words were really too much. Even Sister Yan couldn't bear to listen and stood up to say a few words.

However, before she could speak, Xie Qingyun had already spoken first: "You, don't push yourself too far."

She is quiet.

But Cui Xin only felt as if there was an invisible big hand slapping him from the top of his head. A sense of pressure hit his face, making his legs weak.

A manly man was so frightened by a woman. How could he behave when word spread?
Cui Xin said angrily: "Okay, today I will go even further. Let's see what you can do."

He raised his hand to greet his men behind him: "If I don't beat you until you are all covered with teeth today, my surname will not be Cui!"

Upon seeing this, Yinyue quickly assumed a fighting stance.

Yin Sheng took advantage of the chaos and slipped out.

Xie Qingyun was completely aroused by Cui Xin's actions, her face was sullen, and murderous aura was spreading in her eyes.

Suddenly a pair of hands stopped her.

Xie Qingyun turned around and saw the Heavenly Monk.

He has always been indifferent to emotions and anger, but this time, Xie Qingyun seemed to read... worry in his eyes?
Some sanity was regained.

Xie Qingyun closed her eyes and calmed down.

The cry of killing and the sound of swords clashing rang in her ears, but Xie Qingyun ignored it.

When she calmed down and opened her eyes again, she saw the person lying on the ground in front of her.

Silver Moon stood among them, as relaxed as if she had never made a move.

"A bunch of trash!" Cui Xin scolded.

A group of strong men could not beat a little girl.

Yinyue looked at Cui Xin with a smile: "They are trash, so Mr. Cui will do it himself?"

Cui Xin hadn't spoken yet, only to hear the rapid sound of horse hooves outside the inn.

As soon as the sound of horse hooves stopped, a group of men in black walked in.

Cui Xin's eyes lit up: "Master Jin Yiwei, hurry up..."

Before he finished speaking, several Xiuchun knives were already placed on his neck.

Cui Xin's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You guys, do you know who I am?"

Yun Yang said with a cold face: "No matter who you are, picking quarrels and provoking troubles in the official post and beating people maliciously is a violation of Daqi's laws."

"?"

Cui Xin looked at his men lying on the ground and suspected that the Jin Yiwei in front of him was blind.

But that was Jin Yiwei.

They report directly to the emperor and do not listen to anyone's orders except the emperor.

If he encounters him today, he will be unlucky.

"Okay, I'm leaving. Can you let me go now?" Cui Xin said helplessly.

I didn’t forget to add: “My uncle is Cui Peiyuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs.”

But Yunyang didn't listen to what he was saying at all, and ordered his men: "Including the dog, tie them all up and take them away."

Jin Yiwei wants to take him away?

Cui Xin finally felt fear this time, and he hurriedly shouted: "My lord, my lord! I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I can give you whatever money you want. Please let me go! I will never let you go again." I don’t dare anymore…”

No one answered him.

Cui Xin was unwilling to give in and still shouted: "Why do you only arrest me? Where is she? Where is the woman opposite?"

"Why don't you catch..."

His mouth was gagged, and the rest of his words turned into meaningless sobs.

After dealing with Cui Xin vigorously and resolutely, Yun Yang did not dare to look into Xie Qingyun's eyes for fear of seeing her anger.

He had no choice but to turn his attention to Yinsheng.

"Thank you... this civilian for... reporting." He said with difficulty.

"If there's nothing else, we'll leave first."

Yunyang looked nervous, fearing he would be punished.

The usually arrogant leader of the Jinyiwei wolf is now as cowardly as Cui Xin's dog.

"Let's go." Yin Sheng received Xie Qingyun's instructions and quickly replied.

"Thank you... Mr. Official." He was also a little embarrassed.

On weekdays, we are all good brothers who hang out and drink together.

Now I insist on pretending that I don't know him, and I'm talking in a bureaucratic tone.

too difficult.

Knowing that Xie Qingyun was not angry, Yunyang finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to take the people away.

But before he could go far, he heard another voice behind him.

He said the three words he was most afraid of hearing.

"Wait a moment."

 I kept saying double updates, but never fulfilled them.

  It finally came true today.

  Two updates in one, enjoyable reading.
