After further questioning, Shen Lian told Lin Fei everything that happened in the capital.

It turned out that the old emperor Zhu Wuchang was seriously ill and was about to die.

Various forces lurking inside and outside the palace began to stir.

The cooperation between Yu Huatian, the director of the West Factory, and the Sun and Moon Sect has begun to bear fruit. They have plundered many government offices and military camps in remote areas and obtained a large amount of supplies and armaments.

The rebellious heart is obvious.

In addition to the Sun and Moon Sect, the Dragon Sect and the Blood Knife Sect also began to flirt with the West Factory, showing signs of wanting to get a piece of the pie.

Even the Yinkui Sect has reported that it has sent envoys to the West Factory to meet Yu Huatian.

Recently, the Iron-hearted God Marquis Zhu Wusi has also frequently recruited troops to expand his strength.

Zhu Wusi has always been wise and virtuous, with many masters under his command. He also has great prestige in the court due to his status as a prince. He was once considered the biggest threat to the current crown prince Zhu Youjian.

The head of the East Factory, Wei Zhongxian, the Nine Thousand Years Old, did not make such big moves as Yu Huatian and Zhu Wusi, but he was secretly trying to win over the forces of the underworld everywhere.

Songshan Sect, Dian Cang Sect, Jujing Gang, Danxia Sect, Qingcheng Sect, Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang and other underworld forces have already submitted to Wei Zhongxian.

If it weren't for a small accident in Huashan Sect, they should all be under Wei Zhongxian's command at this moment.

Unlike now, only Yue Buqun has been recruited.

In addition, Wei Zhongxian's power has long penetrated into the Jinyiwei, and twenty of the twenty-four thousand households have already submitted to Wei Zhongxian.

He originally wanted to use money and power to corrupt Shen Lian, whom he had always been optimistic about, but he didn't expect that this guy would not be influenced by oil and salt, and was as smelly and hard as a stone in the toilet.

After making several efforts, he had no choice but to give up, deprived him of his thousand households, and drove him out of the capital to prevent him from causing trouble for the Nine Thousand Years Old at a critical moment.

Jin Yichuan also resigned from the post of a hundred households and followed Shen Lian out of the capital.

But Lu Jianxing couldn't bear to give up the centurion he had always dreamed of, and finally surrendered to Wei Zhongxian.

The woman who looked a bit like Zhou Miaotong was Shen Lian's lover, the famous painter Beizhai in the capital, who was also Zhou Miaotong's sister, Miaoxuan.

When Lin Fei saw Beizhai, he felt that she did look like Yang Mi, and she was pretty, but she didn't suit his XP and was not his type.

"That's how it is. The court is in chaos now, and various forces are fighting secretly. I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty will soon change."

Lin Fei sighed and said, "The Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty next door are the same. They have been in war for many years. As the saying goes, 'When the country prospers, the people suffer, and when the country perishes, the people suffer'!"

Shen Lian said, "Alas, these days, it's good to have a place to settle down. Whoever wants to wade into the muddy water of the court can wade!"

Lin Fei said, "Since Brother Shen came to me, I must not treat Brother Shen and his wife badly. I still need two waiters here..."

"Waiters?" Shen Lian frowned.

"...Monthly salary of 40 taels of silver."

"Four... 40 taels of silver?" Shen Lian's brows relaxed, and he looked at Lin Fei with an almost incredible look.

When he was a centurion, his annual salary was only 20 taels of silver.

When he was a thousand households, it was more, but only 35 taels.

Now Lin Fei asked for 40 taels of silver per month, which is 480 taels per year!

He couldn't help but start to talk about this Yunlai Inn.

What kind of business is this inn doing that can give a waiter so much monthly salary?

Is it the legendary black shop?

Impossible, Brother Lin is an honest and decent person, and he would never do such a thing.

"Yes, 40 taels of silver, I don't give much for my small business, please don't be offended, Brother Shen." Lin Fei said with a smile.

"Brother Lin, that's not right. Born in a turbulent time, Brother Lin is willing to give me a stable place to stay. I am already grateful. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. The main thing is that I also like to be a waiter, free and easy!"

Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan immediately started their career as waiters in the inn.

Lin Fei also arranged two rooms for Beizhai and Zhou Miaotong.

The expanded Yunlai Inn has enough rooms, so there is no need to worry about not having enough rooms.

After arranging everything, Lin Fei continued to drink tea with Yue Lingshan.

"Xiao Linzi, the way Miss Zhou looks at you seems a little strange."

Lin Fei said awkwardly: "Is that so? I can't see anything."

Yue Lingshan curled her lips and said: "You men are careless, of course you can't see it, Miss Zhou obviously likes you, I can't hide it from my eyes."

Lin Fei hurriedly said: "You also know that I am handsome and have a fatal attraction to women, you can't blame me for this..."

Yue Lingshan chuckled: "Vincentive!"

At this time, Ning Zhongze walked out of the kitchen and sat next to Yue Lingshan.

"Shan'er, what do you think about the matter I mentioned to you last time??”

Yue Lingshan blushed and said coquettishly: "Mother...what's the matter, I don't know."

Ning Zhongze glared at her: "It's about marrying Fei'er."

"Mother, what are you talking about? I...I'm still young. It's too early to get married now, right?"

"How am I young? When I was your age, I was already pregnant with you."

"That won't work. I'm not mentally prepared yet."

Ning Zhongze pretended to be angry and said: "Mother just asks you one question, do you not like Fei'er?"

Yue Lingshan secretly raised her head and glanced at Lin Fei, her almond eyes full of spring and mist.

"I didn't say I didn't like him, but...just..."

Ning Zhongze sighed and said: "We are all children of the rivers and lakes, why are you so shy? Since you like him, then mother will make the decision. You two will get married on the eighth day of next month! "

While speaking, she held Yue Lingshan's hand with one hand and Lin Fei's hand with the other.

When their skins touched, Lin Fei secretly pinched Ning Zhongze's soft part a few times.

He felt her body tremble slightly, but fortunately Yue Lingshan was nervous and didn't notice.

Then Ning Zhongze put his hands together and said, "Leave the affairs of Huashan Sect to me. You two should live a good life after you get married. The most important thing is to give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible."

Yue Lingshan lowered her head and said shyly, "It's all up to my mother to decide..."

Seeing that Lin Fei hadn't expressed his opinion yet, Ning Zhongze glared at him fiercely.

Lin Fei hurriedly said, "Everything is up to Master's wife!"

Ning Zhongze nodded with satisfaction.
