Beijing has many famous restaurants, Chunfeng Building is one of them.

  Zhong Bin drove the horse carriage and sent Jiang Xia to the entrance of Chunfeng Building. After getting off the carriage, Jiang Xia walked towards Chunfeng Building. Just as he arrived at the entrance, Jiang Xia was stopped by a shopkeeper-like person who smiled and said: "Sorry, young master, today our place has been booked by someone else, so we're not accepting outside guests."

  "Is it someone from the Imperial Academy who has been sent down?" Jiang Xia asked.

  The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment before reacting, and with an apologetic smile, he said: "Ah, I'm sure you're also a guest invited by Third Young Master, right? Please come in quickly, Third Young Master and the other dozen or so young masters have been here for some time already."

  "Third Young Master?" Jiang Xia was surprised this time and asked the shopkeeper, "Your family's Third Young Master is..."

  "This is the Wang family's property." The shopkeeper didn't answer directly.

  Jiang Xia suddenly realized that Chunfeng Building was actually Wang Wenbo's family property. Jiang Xia nodded to show his understanding, and the shopkeeper gestured for him to enter: "Young master, please come in, I'll take you upstairs."

  "Good." Jiang Xia nodded.

  As they went up to the third floor with the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper led Jiang Xia to a house called "Spring Breeze Got Me". The shopkeeper knocked on the door and pushed it open. Through the doorway, Jiang Xia suddenly saw that most of the people from Guozi Jian were already waiting there.

  When Jiang Xia looked into the house, the people inside also came out one after another. Seeing that it was Jiang Xia, everyone immediately stood up and shouted: "Brother Jiang, you're here."

  Jiang Xia smiled and greeted everyone one by one, then walked into the house and sat down.

  While chatting with everyone about last night's drinking situation, waiting for the people to arrive in the future. After about an hour or so, all 28 people from Guozijian arrived.

  Everyone sat together in the conference hall of Chunfeng Deyi Residence, and Liang Wenhuan clapped his hands and said: "Alright, alright, since everyone is here, let's start discussing Tianjiao's matter."

  As soon as Liang Wennan said this, everyone immediately stopped chatting and sat up straight, looking at Jiang Xia. It was clear that everyone was waiting for Jiang Xia to speak first.

  Jiang Xia didn't hesitate either, putting down the teacup in her hand and saying: "Alright, let's talk about Tian Jiao's rules..."

  The whole meeting lasted for nearly two hours, with Jiang Xia speaking almost all the time and Wang Wenbo and Jiang Hanlin in charge of taking notes.

  Building and managing an organization may be a bit confusing for ordinary people, but for Jiang Xia, it's as simple as can be. After all, he was once the leader of Qianmen.

  The Qianmen has been passed down since the Spring and Autumn Periods, with a long history and a large organization. Such an organization can manage Jiangxia well, let alone a Tianjiao that is not even in its infancy.

  At the meeting, Jiang Xia and others first registered and signed a membership book. Then some basic rules were promulgated, and Jiang Xia was appointed as the leader of Tian Jiao, while other positions were temporarily vacant and no candidates were determined.

  After confirming these, Jiang Xia took out the 50,000 taels of silver bills brought by Mao Wenju. This sum of money will be temporarily used as the public fund for Tianjiao, and 10,000 taels will be used to purchase a house as the headquarters of Tianjiao.

  The silver was handed over to Wang Wenbo for safekeeping, the purchase of the house was entrusted to Liang Wenhuan, and the compilation of the Tianjiao Gate Rules was entrusted to Xia Fengchao. In addition, a batch of identity plaques will be made, which is also entrusted to Jiang Hanlin, while Jiang Xia became a careless boss, taking no responsibility for anything.

  When he came out of Chunfeng Building, it was already past noon. Jiang Xia had been thinking about going to find Cui Ruxue to talk about life and ideals, so after leaving Chunfeng Building, Jiang Xia prepared to take a horse carriage back to Xiangyang Mountain Villa immediately.

  Walking out of Chunfeng Building, Jiang Xia waved at Zhong Bin who was sitting on the opposite side of the road drinking tea. After glancing at Jiang Xia, Zhong Bin stood up and walked towards where his horse carriage was parked.

  Jiang Xia stood at the entrance of Chunfeng Building, his five senses had been enhanced, and his vision and hearing were far superior to those of ordinary people. He looked around with great interest, trying to test the extent of his enhanced vision.

  Suddenly, Jiang Xia heard a sentence, "Are you hungry?"

  Jiang Xia looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was a young man, about 18 or 19 years old, who looked like a rich young master, asking a beggar on the other side of the road.

  Jiang Xia smiled to herself when she saw this scene, thinking to herself that it seemed most of the rich young masters in the capital weren't so bad after all, and there were actually people who cared about whether beggars went hungry.

  The beggar heard the rich young master ask himself and suddenly became excited, saying: "Hungry, hungry... I haven't eaten for three days."

  "Oh." The rich young master nodded and said: "Hungry? Then go eat shit, hahaha..."

  Jiang Xia was taken aback for a moment, he saw the beginning but didn't expect it to end like this. Originally, he had experienced begging before, now seeing that rich young master was so bored that he went to tease a beggar, Jiang Xia's heart suddenly filled with anger.

  The young master of a rich family and several friends beside him, as well as the seven or eight guards behind him, burst out laughing. The beggar saw that he had been fooled, so he hung his head and ignored these people.

  "Eh! Are you hungry?" Jiang Xia loudly asked the rich young master.

  The young master of the wealthy family turned to Jiang Xia, this question he had just asked a beggar, now Jiang Xia used it to ask him, clearly not with good intentions. The young master sneered and said: "This young master is not hungry."

  "Oh, so you're full from eating shit?" Jiang Xia asked with a serious face.

  "Hmph..." Jiang Xia said something interesting, even that beggar couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  The rich young master kicked the beggar with one foot and said coldly: "Dare to laugh at me, be careful I cut off your tongue."

  Jiang Xia shook his head, and couldn't help but mock him again: "Were you born out of your mother's adultery? You actually rely on bullying a beggar to show off your strength, using this to cover up the inferiority and weakness in your heart."

  "Looking for death!" The rich young master was furious and immediately waved his hand to the guard beside him, ordering: "Go, take him down!"

  Eight guards rushed towards Jiang Xia, but he didn't show any fear. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "It seems that today I must teach you a good lesson on behalf of your father, so that you can understand the difference between humans and beasts."

  Eight guards had not yet rushed to Jiang Xia's side when a figure suddenly descended from the air, blocking the guards and Jiang Xia. Immediately afterwards, a "clang" sound was heard, followed by the sound of a long sword being unsheathed.

  Then the sword light flashed, and the "pa pa pa..." sound was endless. By the time Zhong Bin sheathed his sword and stood beside Jiang Xia, all eight guards were already lying on the ground, holding their heads and rolling around.

  Zhong Bin did not take their lives, but used his sword as a whip to lash the eight guards until they were "on the verge of living or dying".

  "You... you dare to hit my guard?" The rich young master pointed at Jiang Xia, his right hand slightly trembling as he spoke.

  Jiang Xia smiled slightly, then suddenly took two big strides and kicked the rich young master to the ground with one foot. He continuously kicked the rich young master's face, saying: "I not only dare to hit your bodyguard, I even dare to hit you."

  "Do you know who I am? You hit me... You will definitely die without a burial place!" The rich young master said, holding his head with both hands.

  Jiang Xia didn't even bother to respond, and continued to beat up the rich young master. The friends who were with the young master trembled with fear, pointing at Jiang Xia and saying: "You... you actually dare to hit him, you're finished! He's Zhu Houxi, the eldest son of King Xing of the imperial family. You've assaulted a member of the royal family, according to the laws of the Ming dynasty, you'll be punished by the Ministry of Rites with extreme severity!"

  Jiang Xia was taken aback for a moment, and in her heart, she silently exclaimed: "This is also too unlucky, casually hitting someone and it turns out to be the son of a prince?"

  However, Jiang Xia reacted extremely quickly and slapped the person who was speaking. Then he said loudly: "I am Liu Qingyun, the young master of the Marquis of Moyang's mansion. What is a mere king doing in my capital instead of staying in his own territory? You've hit me, now what else can you do to me?"

  After finishing speaking, Jiang Xia stepped on Zhu Houxi once again and then beckoned Zhong Bin to leave.

  Zhong Bin sheathed his long sword and jumped onto the carriage, taking Jiang Xia away. Zhu Houxi, who was lying on the street, was furious. His friend helped him up. As he watched the carriage disappear into the distance, Zhu Houxi said angrily: "Liu Qingyun, I, Zhu Houxi, will remember you. This matter won't be settled so easily."

  The king was such a noble identity, Jiang Xia didn't have a clear concept in his heart, but he simply compared it in his heart, Li Dongyang was a first-class official, while the royal title was only next to the emperor's super-product, it was obvious that the other party's background was bigger than himself.

  Jiang Xia, to be cautious, specially let Zhong Bin drive a horse-drawn carriage to the Muyang Marquis's mansion for a turn before returning to the Xianyao Mountain Villa.

  At the back door of Xiangyang Mountain Villa, Jiang Xia met Han Yu as soon as he got off his horse carriage.

  Jiang Xia waved at Han Yu and called out: "Big Brother Han."

  Han nodded and smiled, calling out: "Brother Jiang."

  Jiang Xia looked at Han Yu twice, he felt that Han Yu seemed to be smiling a bit forcedly, so he asked: "What's wrong, big brother Han? You look like you're worried about something. If there's anything you need, just tell me, whether it's people or money, I'll think of a way for you."

  Han Yu looked at Jiang Xia, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes.

  But that expression only flashed for a moment, and then Han Yu returned to normal, smiling and saying: "It's nothing, it's just that a good brother will soon be leaving the world, so I'm feeling sad in my heart."

  "Got an incurable disease?" Jiang Xia asked.

  Han shook his head and uttered two words with a gloomy expression: "Poisoned."

  "What? Highly toxic?" Jiang Xia continued to ask.

  Han nodded slightly and said: "Extremely toxic, beyond cure."

  "Alas..." Jiang Xia let out a soft sigh, and patted Han Yu's shoulder, saying: "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the hands of heaven. There are things in this life that one cannot control. I'll have the accountant give you 500 taels of silver later, go buy some more expensive incense paper, and hold a memorial service."

  "Th...". Han Yu was slightly taken aback.

  At this time, Jiang Xia didn't speak to him again, but instead pulled Zhong Bin towards the Xiangyang Mountain Villa while whispering instructions to him, telling him that he must burn the horse carriage later to avoid being tracked by Zhu Houxi's people.

  Zhong Bin nodded slightly and turned his head to glance at Han Yu, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.

  Han Yu seemed to have completely ignored Zhong Bin's gaze, staring blankly at Jiang Xia's back, his eyes complex.

  PS: Thanks to DaDa Lin, You Know Who and Wu Wang for their generous support. Also thanks to DaDa Shang Lou, I have already felt your support, thank you!

  P.S. Before most people notice, I'd like to mention that there are some historical bugs in the text. Firstly, the poem "Taohua An Ge" was actually written during the Hongzhi era, and the protagonist's quote is anachronistic, but it was modified for convenience. Secondly, Zhu Houxi, a character in this chapter, did exist historically and was indeed the son of King Xing, but he died at the age of five days and couldn't have grown to be 17 or 18 years old; however, since he is an important supporting character, his story was also modified. Of course, there are many more bugs, but I won't list them all.

  Well, I must declare that this is just a book that strives to be light-hearted and pleasant. I hope everyone doesn't take the historical facts mentioned in the book too seriously. If you want to read an orthodox history, I suggest fans of the Ming Dynasty go take a look at "Ming Shi". However, my personality makes it hard for me to even finish reading the translated version, let alone the original text.

  From now on, these BUGs will no longer be explained in detail, otherwise there would be too much nonsense affecting everyone's reading experience.
