Su Xin was dressed in white and looked travel-worn. He carried a bag on his back and walked to a mild-looking peddler selling candied haws in the corner of the street.
"Brother, how much is the candied haws?”
Su Xin's expression was gentle, revealing a harmless smile.
"A string of three coins."
The peddler was about thirty years old. He casually glanced at Su Xin and noticed that Su Xin was dressed in extraordinary clothes. He seemed to be a fat sheep from a foreign land and immediately became spirited.
Su Xin knew that this price was a bit expensive, but he didn't care.
Rich and willful!
One tael of gold could be exchanged for ten taels of silver.
One tael of silver could be exchanged for ten strings of copper coins, which was equivalent to one thousand copper coins.
? Based on this, this peddler could only earn one tael of silver by selling 33300 sticks of candied haws. After that, the peddler had to pay protection fees to the sect, so he probably wouldn't have much left.
He could only say that Lian Xing was really good to him.
"Little brother, give me a skewer."
"Alright!"
The peddler was secretly delighted. He had earned two copper coins from one string.
The two of them completed the transaction.
Su Xin glanced around from the corner of his eyes and began his performance, talking enthusiastically with the peddler.
"Little brother, are there any powerful forces in Guyang City?”
The peddler looked at Su Xin and found that he was polite and seemed to be a scholar. He could not figure out Su Xin's background. Moreover, he had just earned two coins from Su Xin. He felt bad and replied,
"Shifting Flower Palace!"
"Shifting Flower Palace?" Su Xin revealed an appropriately surprised expression and said in a low voice,"Guyang City is actually the territory of the Shifting Flower Palace?”
"Shh!"
The peddler looked around nervously. When he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he let out a long sigh and said,"Young Master, remember not to talk about the Shifting Flower Palace and its two Palace Lords in public.”
He slumped on the back steps and fell silent.
After a long time.
Su Xin's eyes lit up as if he had found the hope of life. He took out the cloth that Lian Xing had given him from his sleeve as if he was recalling Lian Xing's words.
Soon, the fear on his face disappeared, leaving behind endless melancholy and confusion.
The peddler was startled and revealed a look of fear. He said in a secretive manner,"Young Master, don't ask too much, lest you get into trouble!”
"Thank you."
Su Xin understood and cupped his hands in thanks. With a lonely expression, he walked into the distance.
Then, he came to the inn of the Shifting Flower Palace in Guyang City. He stood at the corner of the street and stared at the inn for a long time. His gaze was extremely complicated. He stood there until night fell.
Then, Su Xin walked towards the inn of the Money Gang in a daze.
He gave himself full marks for this performance!
……
The inn of the Money Gang in Guyang City was called the Golden Sun Inn. It was a chain in the 35 cities of Ming Dynasty. Only the capital did not have a branch because of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
Su Xin walked into the inn and was immediately welcomed by a waiter.
The waiter could tell at a glance that he was dressed in extraordinary clothes. He was a rich man, and his face was full of smiles. He bent his body and waited beside Su Xin.
"Do you have any signature dishes?"
Su Xin looked around and found a corner on the first floor. After sitting down, he quietly observed the layout of the inn. He found that the inn was divided into three floors. The first floor was a place for eating, and there was a high platform in the middle. He didn't know what it was used for.
The second floor was a private room.
The third floor was the guest room.
The waiter recommended three dishes and said with a smile,"Roasted mutton, fried pork ribs, braised pork knuckle, what do you think, young master?”
"Give me another pot of good tea."
"Alright, please wait a moment."
After a waiter left, another waiter stood beside Su Xin, serving him very well.
The three dishes and a pot of tea cost a total of 30 copper coins. The price was slightly higher.
"If you want to stay, what kind of rooms are there?”
The waiter quickly replied," Our inn has four types of rooms. They are the Heaven Tier rooms. One gold per day!" Earth-ranked rooms, five silver coins a day! Xuan room, one silver per day! Yellow room, half a diao a day!"
"A Heaven-tier room, one gold per day?" Su Xin was dumbfounded and almost left.
In the future, one gold per day was equivalent to ten thousand per day. It was simply a scam. If he chose a heaven-tier room, he would only be able to stay in the Golden Sun Inn for twenty days.
"Young Master, you are wrong."
The waiter explained,"Young Master, you might as well ask around in the city. Ever since the establishment of the Money Gang, no one has dared to cause trouble in the Golden Sun Inn."
Young Master is staying in a Heaven Room. Even if you offend a Grandmaster or above expert, we will stop them for you.
Of course, if something happened to Young Master outside, Money Gang would not be responsible.”
The waiter explained the differences between the four rooms to Su Xin.
In the pugilistic world, great grandmasters were elusive.
Therefore, stopping a martial grandmaster was just to fool ordinary people. Usually, even if a guest offended a martial grandmaster, the martial grandmaster would not cause trouble at the Golden Sun Inn on account of the Money Gang.
Moreover, the Money Gang was well-informed and would never accept guests who offended a top grandmaster or a great grandmaster.
"Great Grandmasters are rare."
Su Xin guessed that the other inns had the same price.
From the waiter, he finally understood the division of realms in this world. The earth rank corresponded to Xiantian experts, the black rank corresponded to Houtian experts, and the yellow rank corresponded to mainstream experts.
The Money Gang was known for money. Shangguan Jinhong was truly a business genius.
Seeing that Su Xin was tempted, the waiter immediately struck while the iron was hot to persuade him.
At this moment, the dishes were served and five steamed buns were given.
