Chapter 151: White Lotus and Qinglian
The furnishings in the room were a bit shabby, but they were very neat and looked orderly. Yi Shi was wondering if this was a house specially used for rent. Just as he was thinking, a maid came in with a basin of water and said crisply: "Shopkeeper, wash up a little."
There was also a maid who served him? Yi Zhizu was quite surprised. He immediately put down the cigar, got up and walked over and said, "Put it down, I'll do it myself."
The maid wrinkled the towel with quick hands and feet and handed it over. After washing her hands and face, Yi Zhizu noticed that the maid had beautiful eyebrows and was not afraid of being angry at all. Her big black eyes stared at him and couldn't help but smile and said, "Have you never tied up such a young and handsome meat ticket?"
The maid smiled and said, "It is rare for the shopkeeper Yi to be so funny." After a slight meal, she said, "I guess I'm hungry, so I'll have a cup of tea first, use some snacks, and bring wine and food in a while."
As he spoke, the two servants came in with trays, clothed tea and snacks and retreated. Seeing that the maid was holding the basin and was about to leave, Yi Zhizu smiled and said with a smile: "I have been bored in the cabin all day today. Can the girl talk with her?"
The maid smiled like a crescent-shaped girl with her eyes, and said, "Does the shopkeeper Yi want to get some news from me?"
"The girl smiles cleverly, I can't bear to be punished." Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "Just treat it as a relief." He actually found that this maid is not simple. He can know his identity and dare to joke with him unscrupulously. He cannot be an ordinary maid.
"Shopkeeper Yi Da's mouth is so sweet, but I still have to work hard." The maid said and squatted slightly, saying, "Let's serve the Shopkeeper Yi later."
Although Yi Zhizuo is hungry and thirsty, he eats slowly and thinks about what place is this? Is this gang from Guangzhou? Or from surrounding prefectures and counties? Or from foreign governments or even from other provinces? How could there be a maid with beautiful eyes and wise eyes here? What's going on?
After only two snacks and a cup of tea, several servants came in with a tray. They put dishes and wine on the cloth of Liushuijie. Yi Zhizu looked at it and tasted a few more bites. Although it was not good, it was also full of color, fragrance and taste, and it was hot, obviously fried.
The treatment of meat tickets is so good? Yi Zhizuo took a few bites and couldn't help but be stunned. There were ten dishes, but the taste was not the same. He tried to distinguish one by one, including Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Fujian cuisine... What does this mean? It represents ten provinces?
He was wondering, a woman in white walked in slowly. The little maid followed her before, and he couldn't help but feel confused. The leader of the gang was a woman? He quickly stood up, bowed and said, "I don't know what the girl calls her?"
The woman in white sat down directly opposite him and reached out and said, "Please sit by the shopkeeper Yida."
Yi Zhizu glanced at it. Under the candlelight, the woman in white looked beautiful and charming. She seemed to be in her twenties, but her pretty face was as cold as ice. He quickly withdrew his gaze and sat down. The maid stood behind her and said crisply: "Shopkeeper Yi Da couldn't take the chopsticks, but he felt that the dishes on this table were not as good as the taste? Or had he seen them before?"
Where have you seen such a strange dish? As long as you have eaten it, you will definitely be deeply impressed. It is unforgettable to remember it at first sight. Yi Quest is about to answer, but he stopped. The other party asked this, did the third young master of the Yi family have eaten it before?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the maid asked, "Do you know what the dishes on this table mean?"
After hesitating for a while, Yi Zhizu said: "But every dish and every province?"
"It's a dish and a recipe." The maid said, looking at him with some confusion and said, "Has the shopkeeper Yi Da read the "Talks of the True Sutra" or "Singing the True Words"? Have you learned the luck of meditation?"
What is this situation? Yi Zhizu shook his head in a daze. The maid still didn't give up and then asked: "Shopkeeper Yi is well-versed in Chinese and Western learning, and has a good understanding of it. Have you heard of the five paths and ten directions?"
What are the five paths and ten directions? Yi Zhizu shook his head and said, "I have never heard of the five paths and ten directions."
The woman in white who had not spoken frowned and said, "There is a vacuum hometown, Wusheng Lao Mother, this eight-character mantra, the shopkeeper Yi Da must have heard of it."
Zhenkong’s hometown, Wusheng’s old mother? Yi was stunned by contentment. He didn’t know Zhenkong’s hometown, but Wusheng’s old mother had heard of it. It seemed to be the goddess worshipped by the White Lotus Sect. The other party was the White Lotus Sect? The famous White Lotus Sect!
What is this cold and beautiful woman in the White Lotus Sect? He knows Wang Cong'er, Tang Sai'er of the White Lotus Sect, and Yihua from the Qianlong period, but there seems to be no famous female leader in the future.
While curious, he quickly regained his mind. During the Jiajing period, the White Lotus Sect launched a major uprising in Sichuan and Chu, causing trouble to the five provinces. It took ten years, and only thirty years to come. The court now faces the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, and catches one by one and kills one by one. It has something to do with the White Lotus Sect. It is not a good thing for him who is not rich!
However, now I am afraid no one will be stupid enough to sway around under the banner of the White Lotus Sect? After pondering for a moment, Yi Zhizuo tentatively said: "Are you White Lotus Sect?"
"It's not a white lotus, it's a green lotus." The woman in white said: "The Qinglian Sect."
Whether it is the Qinglian Sect or the White Lian Sect, it is nothing more than changing the name to cover people's eyes and ears. It is not a good thing for him to show his identity. Obviously, the other party was not kidnapped and blackmailed, but wanted him to join the sect! Moreover, judging from their previous tests, even if the third young master of the Yi family had been in the sect before, he must have had contact with the women of the Qinglian Sect, showing the intention of joining the sect.
What are these things? Then the third young master of the Yi family is too troublesome. How could the White Lotus Sect be so fun? Is Yan Shikuan's part in this matter?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the woman in white stared at him and said word by word: "Xiguan, Tianyuan Street, Lihentai Tea No., Lin Sanniang, and Yi Da Shopkeeper?"
"What does it mean?" Yi Zhizu looked at her and said, "The tea collapsed, the tea shop went bankrupt, and the tea merchants broke up. This account cannot be counted on me. The tea price continues to be high, the East India Company hoarded tea, and England raised the tea tax..."
"Who asked you about tea?" The woman in white interrupted him and said, "Lin Sanniang is the innocence of our Qinglian Sect in Guangzhou. It disappeared on the morning of the eighth day of the April 19th. The night before, someone saw you at the Lihentai Tea House..."
