Before entering, a guard came forward and bowed: "Mr. Xu, you need to untie your sword before entering the banquet. Please forgive me."
Xu Yin calmly handed over the scribe's sword at his waist, smiling and being courteous.
The main hall is already full of guests. King Taiping has always had great ambitions, and he often attracts talents from the people.
Those gathered here were not only powerful men in the world of martial arts, but also great craftsmen in the literary world, as well as frontier generals who had retired due to various reasons.
There were also many Jinshi talents who could not be reused in the imperial court, so they joined the staff of King Taiping.
There are more than 300 people in the palace, which is quite large in the Taiping shogunate.
With such civil and military power, coupled with the endless wealth coming from the sea, it is impossible for any monarch to sit idly by.
Those present at the table actually included Lu Xiaofeng, Aunt Gongsun, Xue Bing, Hua Manlou, Honest Monk and others.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Xu Yin and shook his head slightly, with a hint in his eyes.
Xu Yin nodded slightly. He just looked around the audience and knew everything.
Because in addition to acquaintances like Lu Xiaofeng, there were also several familiar "good friends" sitting on the opposite side.
Gong Jiu, one of the princes of Prince Taiping, did not have a very high status in the palace. He sat far away from his brothers and looked at Xu Yin expressionlessly.
The iceberg-like woman standing behind him was none other than Shaman. She was Lu Xiaofeng's new confidante and Gong Jiu's forbidden love.
Beside Gong Jiu, there was beef soup. At this time, she was wearing a royal dress, looking noble and elegant, and she looked like two people with the black widow who was fighting with Xu Yin in the ruined temple.
Even Lu Xiaofeng didn't expect that Beef Soup turned out to be the daughter of Prince Taiping, His Majesty the Princess!
In addition to a few of them, there was also a plainly dressed old man who kept a mysterious smile at the banquet. This smile never stopped. Therefore, many people who did not know him originally felt good after talking to him, and would never have thought of him.
Is the creator of a mysterious organization.
When Xu Yin appeared, the little old man looked at him with a warmer smile. However, Gong Jiu, Shaman and Beef Soup felt that the air around them seemed to have dropped several degrees.
Gong Jiu even looked at the little old man in surprise, because he had never seen the little old man have such a strong murderous intention.
Everyone present at the meeting had one seat per person, imitating the ancient etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period, and sat in order from near to far, from left to right, according to the civil and military nobles.
Those who are close to the Chairman of the Central Committee are the most noble, and those who are on the left are the most respected. At a glance, they look majestic!
As soon as Xu Yin appeared on the stage, hundreds of pairs of eyes in the hall were all focused on him, with various meanings.
Most people just thought that Xu Yin was just a very lucky person who happened to find the missing 33 million taels and was able to receive such a standard of reception from King Taiping.
Many people have secretly snorted and made comparisons. Most of these people are from the world, and most of them are young people.
Young people are always very conceited, especially those who have some real abilities. They often compare themselves with people who are more famous. How can they be easily convinced before the winner is determined?
King Taiping was high above the chairman, wearing a royal robe, showing no emotion or anger, looking at Xu Yin who stepped into the palace gate from a distance.
The eunuch beside him said loudly: "Yun Tianqing is from Jimo, Shandong Province. He has a reputation as a scholar, with both civil and military skills and unparalleled wisdom. The prince is ordered by the imperial court to transport 330 million taels of gold, silver and jewels to Chang'an, Guanzhong.
It was robbed by strong men on the way and almost shipped overseas, causing great losses to the imperial court, further damaging the prince's reputation, and damaging the relationship between our Donghai City and the imperial court.
Fortunately, Mr. Yun searched for clues, and when the escort was about to go out to sea, he solved the strange case, recovered the jewels, and undone the big mistake that was almost made! By the order of the prince, there should be a heavy reward!"
As he said that, the eunuch waved his hand and hit the whisk, and immediately several eunuchs stood in front of the main hall carrying several boxes.
The eunuch opened the box at the front and saw the glittering gold inside. It was filled with gold bricks!
"The special reward is ten thousand taels of gold, three beauties, and a mansion in Donghai City!"
As soon as the singing finished, three beautiful ladies with different styles but beautiful women walked to the golden side. One of them held a land deed and a house deed in her hands.
They all looked at the approaching Xu Yin with gentle smiles and full of expectation and hope, their eyes twinkling.
Xu Yin smiled at them, making their faces blush. These three beautiful and fragrant women were the three palace ladies who had served him!
King Taiping's generosity really surprised everyone present.
Gong Jiu laughed softly and said, "I never expected that my father would appreciate this person so much."
The little old man smiled and said: "If I were King Taiping, my methods of wooing this man would only be more powerful. He is indeed worth the price.
Haha, but how can a mere ten thousand taels of gold and three beauties in a mansion buy this man's loyalty?"
The purchase price offered by the little old man was 10 million taels of silver!
Nearly a hundred times the price paid by King Taiping.
The beef soup did some calculations, chuckled, and said: "Compared to Master, Dad's actions are still too stingy."
But the little old man said: "Of course, King Taiping is different from us. He is not the only one who needs to consider this scholar."
As if to confirm what the little old man said, after a moment of silence, there was a sudden noise.
Many people who were originally unconvinced by Xu Yin had feelings of jealousy and hatred flashing through their hearts.
If there is injustice, there will be a cry, and naturally some strong-blooded people will attack the case.
"Wait a minute!"
Xu Yin stamped his feet and stopped just in front of Aunt Gongsun. The three beauties had frozen smiles, the roll call eunuch was smiling brightly, and the Taiping King remained calm.
Gong Jiu and others only looked at Xu Yin, waiting for his reaction.
Lu Xiaofeng had already clenched her fist, and Hua Manlou turned her head to Lu Xiaofeng.
As for Mrs. Gongsun, looking at Xu Yin's profile, she always unconsciously overlapped with the image of another person. She opened her mouth several times but stopped.
"Your Majesty! This person's merits are beyond measure, or he just happened to find the missing gold and silver by chance.
He hasn't really found out the culprit behind the scenes, let alone captured the thief, so how can he deserve this huge reward?!"
The speaker is Nangong Pushe, the second son of the Nangong family, one of the four major martial arts families.
The Nangong family is located in Chengdu, with a prosperous population and a rich arsenal. Not only are there many martial arts wizards and top masters in the village, but there are also many outstanding descendants who have occupied a place in the court and have a solid foundation. They are among the first nobles in the martial arts world.
say.
Although the Nangong family possesses various superb martial arts, its core is famous for its whipping technique!
The second son of the Nangong family has inherited the family's martial arts, and his martial arts is even known as the number one among the younger generation in central Sichuan!
Even the eldest son of Tang Clan, one of the four great aristocratic families in Sichuan, was defeated by this man, leaving no room for him to display his hidden weapon skills.
In addition, Nangong Pushe has a handsome appearance and has always been a frequent visitor to the entertainment scene, attracting countless young ladies in the boudoir compound to fall in love with him.
Wherever he goes, there is the center. He once thought that among his peers, except for people like Ximen Chuixue, no one could compare with him.
Even Lu Xiaofeng, Huamanlou and the like, it is impossible to compare with him, let alone Xu Yin, a scholar who appeared out of nowhere!
