The Golden Age Chapter 553: Tea House

Qunxianfang on the edge of Kyoto’s West Market is a very inconspicuous private workshop among 108 in Kyoto. There is an inconspicuous alley in the northwest corner, and there is an inconspicuous teahouse in the alley.

It rained heavily in the afternoon, and there were not many customers in the tea house on weekdays. The tea house was even more empty on a rainy day. The tea buddy sat in a corner and stared in a daze.

At dusk, when the rain was getting heavier and stronger, a figure suddenly appeared in the empty alley. He was wearing a fur coat and a hat. He walked straight into the tea house and took off the hat. A buddy in the tea house was there. When I entered the door, he had already greeted him, took the hat with both hands and put it aside, and then waited for the person to take off his clothes. Then he bent his body and respectfully said: "My lord, he is inside!"

This person is nearly 50 years old, and he is not nonsense. He is obviously very familiar with the layout of the tea house. Turned around and closed the door, walked forward, and sat down opposite the man.

"Master Lin!" The man saluted very respectfully, but it was Xu Changyin from Qingyitang.

Lin Master leaned back on the chair, looked at Xu Changyin, and said lightly: "The date of this month has not arrived yet, why will it be advanced?"

"My lord, today... it's not about paying money." Xu Changyin smiled reluctantly: "There is something else I want to ask the adults."

Lin Master's face became stern and said, "Xu Changyin, you should understand that Tsing Yi Tang meets with the official every month. There is a fixed time. You are not qualified to meet with the official without authorization. In addition to paying the money, you also You are not qualified to talk to this official about other things. Before Jiang Qianxing died, he didn't dare to violate this rule. You only came up for a few days and broke the rule. Are you looking for death?"

"The villain dare not." Xu Changyin hurriedly said: "If it is not a very urgent matter, the villain dare not disturb the adults, let alone meet with the adults without authorization."

"What the **** is going on, tell me quickly." Master Lin was obviously a little impatient.

Xu Changyin hurriedly said: "Li Xin was arrested by people from Dali Temple."

Master Lin was startled, frowned and said: "People from Dali Temple? Because of what?"

"People from Dali Temple said that Tsing Yi Tang’s extortion was like a bandit." Xu Changyin said solemnly: “Today, we opened a new cloth shop in Huaizhen Square. I didn’t know Tsing Yi Tang in advance, and Li Xin kept it from the villain. Acting without authorization, he took people to the cloth house, and that cloth house was a trap set by Dali Temple."

Master Lin stared at Xu Changyin’s face like a blade, and said sternly: “Xu Changyin, last time I met, I asked you to temporarily replace Jiang Qianxing in managing Tsing Yi Tang, and I warned you that I will restrain your subordinates recently. Don't get into trouble with those gangsters, do you fart when I say something?"

"The villain dare not." Xu Changyin showed a look of trepidation: "My lord, the villain repeatedly told his subordinates not to act rashly. But Li Xin has always been disrespectful to the villain. He didn't take what the villain said in his heart. Action.....!"

Lin Master sneered and said: "It seems that the official is not good at employing people. You can't even restrain Li Xin. It seems that Tsing Yi Tang gave you a mistake."

"The villain is incompetent." Xu Changyin smiled bitterly: "It's just that Qin Xiao had a death feud with Qingyitang before, and now he has control of Dali Temple and set a trap against Qingyitang, and Li Xin has also fallen into his hands. , The villain... The villain is worried that there will be a big storm next. Tsing Yi Tang

It's a city gang, and it can't fight Dali Temple, so...!"

"The officer understands." Master Lin said lightly: "You have caused trouble, and now you want the officer to clean up the mess for you?"

Xu Changyin arched his hands and said: "I also ask the adults to take care of Tsing Yi Tang's service for many years."

"Xu Changyin, what do you think you are?" Master Lin stared at Xu Changyin's eyes, and the corners of his lips showed disdain: "What do you think Tsing Yi Tang is? When Qin Xiao first entered Beijing, it was you who provoke him. He went to Tsing Yi Tower by himself that day. If you kill him, you will kill him. However, hundreds of people can't kill him. Instead, he killed Jiang Qianxing with his backhand. It was just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags. Now he seeks revenge from Tsing Yi Tang, but he wants to kill him. Let's clean up the mess. Your idea is shrewd." He stood up slowly and said coldly: "The troubles you have caused yourself, solve them yourself." He wanted to turn around and leave, and Xu Changyin rushed forward and pleaded. Said: "Sir, wait a minute!"

Master Lin stared at Xu Changyin. Xu Changyin took two steps back and said: "My lord, now there are only adults and nobles...!"

"Shut up!" Master Lin yelled coldly: "The nobleman? What nobleman? Where is the nobleman?"

Xu Changyin knew he had made a mistake, fell to his knees, and pleaded: "My lord, Tsing Yi Tang has been loyal to you for many years, and the brothers have done their best to make some contributions to the adults. Now Qin Xiao wants to treat Qing Yi Tang. If the adults don’t help, the brethren will be a catastrophe...!"

Master Lin sneered and said: "You made the credit? What is the credit? You have been domineering and bullying in Kyoto these years, and you have already caused complaints from the people." With one hand on his back, he stroked his beard and said: "Xu Chang Yin, if it were not for me, Lin Jiafu, who had been protecting you all these years, Tsing Yi Tang would have been dead for a long time. You had to make an inch of it to get into the current situation. That was also your own choice. Today is the last time I met Tsing Yi Tang, and I will never see again. Also, after leaving this teahouse, you and I have never known each other. We didn’t know each other before, and we won’t know each other later."

Xu Changyin raised his head, his eyes already showing anger: "Master Lin, are you trying to kill the donkey?"

"What did you say?" Lin Jiafu said sharply.

Xu Changyin knows he has made a mistake, but now, there is no other way. He can only bite the bullet and say: "My lord said he didn't know me, but these years, Tsing Yi Tang has to hand in hundreds of thousands of taels every year. Silver, Dali Temple knows that Tsing Yi Tang collects a lot of silver from all over Kyoto every year, and they will definitely track down the whereabouts of these silvers. Then... how will Tsing Yi Tang deal with it?" Lin Jiafu looked like a knife. He gritted his teeth and continued: "Dali Temple's investigation of Qingyi Hall will indeed not chase the nobleman, but Qin Xiao is like a vicious dog, and he may not bite an adult by then."

There was a trace of killing intent in Lin Jiafu's eyes, and he said lightly: "Are you threatening this official?"

"The villain dare not." Xu Changyin said: "If adults and nobles feel that Tsing Yi Tang is no longer necessary, Tsing Yi Tang can be dissolved and disappeared, but Qin Xiao's purpose this time is not only to dissolve Tsing Yi Tang, he He wanted to kill. Since Dali Temple started, even if the villain disbanded Tsing Yi Tang, Qin Xiao would not give up, even if he would not kill the villain, the villain would have to stay in jail for the rest of his life. It’s just a villain. After so many years, Tsing Yi Tang has done everything that should and shouldn’t be done. There are not a few people involved in the case. If adults ignore them, these people

There will be no good end. "Standing up slowly, staring into Lin Jiafu's eyes, said: "Our Lord Wei has served for many years, and we don't want to be promoted to make a fortune, but we can't end up like this, right?" "

Lin Jiafu said coldly: "You mean that if Dali Temple finds you, you will drag the official into the water?"

Xu Changyin shook his head and said: "The villain will never betray an adult, but the villain cannot guarantee that everyone in Tsing Yi Tang is loyal. Although he knows that the relationship between Tsing Yi Tang and adults is very few, Li Xin is one of them. One, he falls into Qin Xiao’s hands. If we don’t help, Li Xin will be resentful, and the villain cannot guarantee what he will say at that time."

"Even if he testifies against the official, what can he do?" Lin Jiafu disdainfully asked, "Could it be that he holds evidence of the official's dealings with Tsing Yi Tang?"

Xu Changyin said: "My lord, has he forgotten that Qin Xiao didn't catch the evidence of Cheng Weibi of Guanglu Temple, but Wei Bi died in his hands in the end...!"

Lin Jiafu stared into Xu Changyin’s eyes. After a while, he turned around and sat down. Xu Changyin became nervous when he saw Lin Jiafu not speaking. After a while, he heard Lin Jiafu whisper: "The noble man in the palace will not be because of Qingyitang. And when she takes action, she always does everything without leaking, if she doesn’t move, she can control the enemy with one blow, so there is no absolute certainty, noble person can never take action. Qin Xiao is the favorite of the saint, and noble person will not rush at this time. Acting.” Instructed Xu Changyin to sit down, and then continued: “Now it is indeed a time for life and death in Tsing Yi Tang, but if you Xu Changyin can pass this level, the nobles will certainly appreciate your talents, and will naturally not be wronged by then. You continue to stay in the city gang, and it is not impossible for you to be appointed as a nobleman."

"My lord means...?"

"This matter actually doesn't require us to help you." Lin Jiafu beckoned, motioned Xu Changyin to come closer, and whispered: "Although you are facing Dali Temple, Dali Temple is Qin Xiao's tool. , Qin Xiao is the only one you really have to deal with. As long as you can figure out a way to deal with Qin Xiao, Dali Temple will be helpless."

Xu Changyin looked gloomy and whispered: "My lord is saying to get rid of Qin Xiao? But Qin Xiao's martial arts is extremely good. Even if he spends a lot of money to hire an assassin, he can't be killed...!"

"Who told you to kill him?" Lin Jiafu said with a cold face: "He is the saint's favorite, really want to kill him, you can't detect you as a Ziyi monitor?"

"What does the lord mean?"

"People have weaknesses." Lin Jiafu showed a sly look in his eyes, and whispered: "Qin Xiao also has fatal weaknesses. As long as he grasps his weaknesses, he can reverse the current situation, even in the end. Tsing Yi Tang no longer exists, and at least it can keep you from retreating."

"I also ask for your enlightenment!" Xu Changyin arched his hands.

Lin Jiafu motioned to Xu Changyin to come over, and whispered a few words in his ear. Xu Changyin nodded slightly, but his face was still dignified. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "This is the only way to do this now, thank you, sir. Enlighten me!"

"You were wrong." Lin Jiafu shook his head and said: "This method is your own idea, it has nothing to do with me, and we have never met today." Standing up, without saying more, he came out with one hand on his back. Going to the door, Xu Changyin looked at Lin Jiafu's back with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
