Chapter 1068: Indirect Inference

Xiao Wu laughed and shook his head.

"Sir, please forgive me for being rude and saying a few more words. If you want to join the Yuwen royal family, it's still possible. Joining them means being filial to the court, or passing the imperial examination to become an official, or joining the army to become a general. Both are fine. But it's impossible for the Mu family. The Mu family is very closed and rarely recruits outsiders. Unless you have some unique talent and can catch the eye of an ancestor of the Mu family, it's absolutely impossible. Oh, by the way, there is another way. If you can capture the heart of a maid in the Mu family, you can marry into the family, but you have to change your surname to Mu, and you have to be a servant who can't even be considered a collateral branch. But according to your temper, I think this matter is difficult enough."

Li Chuyi was unwilling at once: "What's wrong with my temper, how good? Do I owe you money? Besides, why is it a maid, you are wrong, right? If you want to capture, you should capture the heart of a lady, right?"

Xiao Wu pulled the corner of his mouth and took a lot of effort to hold back from squeezing back.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Sir, the maids of the Mu family are also of the blood of the Mu family, but they are from the declining collateral line, or they are the children of the Mu family who have made serious mistakes and have been demoted to servants. As for the young ladies of the Mu family, sir, you'd better not think about it. In all these years, I haven't heard of any young lady of the Mu family falling in love with outsiders. Basically, they marry within the family. If there is really someone who is attracted to someone, it must be a big family with equal status. After marrying, she will take the surname of her husband's family. The Mu family will only recognize her identity as a member of the Mu family, but her husband and offspring will not be recognized by the Mu family at all, so she is not considered a member of the Mu family." . If you bump into someone on the street who says he is from the Mu family, he is definitely from the Mu family. People who are not recognized by the Mu family cannot claim to be related to the Mu family, otherwise they will be held accountable by the Mu family, and the Yuwen royal family will not let them go. "

"So domineering? The Yuwen royal family is not as domineering as them, right?"

"Hehe, this... I dare not say. However, the blood of the Heavenly Master, the Yuwen royal family is extremely protective, so it is normal for the Mu family to be domineering. "

Li Chuyi was a little surprised, but he finally understood why the Taoist priest made the Mu family so disgusted.

The Taoist priest not only robbed the eldest daughter of the Mu family, but also the most precious one among a basket of daughters. It would be strange if the Mu family didn't hate him to death.

Li Chuyi shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then let's not talk about the two families. We are not interested in taking the imperial examinations, and we don't want to risk our lives to accumulate military merits. Just tell me, is there any one-step achievement, such as being a guest or a guard, and then having the opportunity to meet dignitaries and be favored by others? Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, there is, but your cultivation level..."

Xiao Wu looked at Li Chuyi suspiciously and took out a jade talisman.

Li Chuyi didn't say anything either. His cultivation level was slightly released and instantly retracted. The jade talisman in Xiao Wu's hand suddenly lit up with a ray of light. When he looked down, his eyes bulged and he swallowed hard.

"Yuan... Yuanying? Senior! I didn't know you were a senior. I hope you will forgive me for my previous neglect!"

Xiao Wu knelt down with a plop, trembling and bowing. He didn't dare to look up for a long time, and recalled in his mind whether he had been neglected before.

He had secretly measured before, and the highest cultivation level among Li Chuyi and his friends was only at the Jindan stage. But now that the other party's Yuanying cultivation level was revealed, he immediately panicked. He realized how stupid he was. Even if a few Jindan people got lucky and made a fortune, how could they easily spend hundreds of thousands of spirit stones on a meal?

Although there were many Yuanying in the imperial city, for him, a small foundation-building person, Yuanying was the sky. The imperial city had laws that strictly prohibited private fighting, but if the other party could find a reason to go to the government office to sue him, then his life would basically be over.

The little fat man frowned, and this was what he hated most about Dayan.

Under the harmonious surface, Dayan concealed an extremely strict class division.

Mortals and mortals, mortals and monks, monks and monks, the two worlds of immortals and mortals have all been artificially divided into various small levels. The gap in status, the gap in cultivation, the balance between status and cultivation, and many considerations are as numerous as stars. In the end, it can be summed up in two sentences - those who can afford to offend are grandsons, and those who can't afford to offend are grandpas.

Although it is not as naked and bloody as Mobei, the oppression under the harmony of Dayan makes him uncomfortable and always breathless.

He will never forget the scene he saw when he was a child. A rich fat man slapped a young man in the face. In a blink of an eye, he learned that the other party was a Qi training monk who was about to build a foundation. He knelt down on the spot and kowtowed like pounding garlic. Then the young man refused to give in and had to kill him to vent his anger. It happened that a drinking buddy of the man passed by and saw him and stepped forward to help him out. The cultivation of the middle stage of the foundation building was slightly revealed, which frightened the young man to kneel down and kowtow like a bell.

But what was the final result?

The young man died because he offended the friend of the old man who was building a foundation.

The official also died because he caused trouble for the old man who built his foundation, although it was the old man who came forward to rescue him.

Do you think the old man was wrong?

No, he was not wrong, because he did not violate the laws of Dayan, and the two people were killed for a reason.

But from a common sense point of view, this matter is simply bullshit.

It is obvious that he killed people casually, but there are so-called laws to protect him. Li Chuyi couldn't figure out which idiot made such laws. In comparison, the atmosphere of Mobei, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say, makes him feel more comfortable. At least they don't become a whore and then set up a memorial archway.

As long as you don't violate the laws, you can do whatever you want. What's the point of making such a biased law?

That's why he likes the true harmony of Taixu Palace and hates the fake civilization of Dayan.

Even Mobei is much better than Dayan in his heart.

"Okay, get up quickly. You haven't offended me. Don't kneel down all the time. You are a monk after all. Do you have some backbone?"

Xiao Wu felt relieved and wiped off the cold sweat without daring to stand up directly. He kowtowed twice and then stood up with tears in his eyes.

"Thank you, senior, thank you so much, senior! There are too few people who are as friendly as you, senior. No matter how strong-minded I am, I can't live up to the rules!"

Li Sinian glanced at Fang Junnan and Liu Mingxiu, and the three of them frowned.

I have long heard that Dayan has strict hierarchies and strict rules. I was fascinated by the colorful world of the imperial capital before, but it was only now that I got a glimpse of it.

Xiao Wu still looks like a monk in the foundation-building stage, a frightened little slave. They, who were both from Mobei, saw it very uncomfortable. They could smell the breathless pressure under Anpinghele in the imperial capital.

Li Chu had seen a lot of them when he was a child, and this time it was just reliving old things.

Waving his hand to signal Xiao Wu to relax, he tapped the table and asked, "You also know my cultivation level. Which company do you think I should join with a greater chance of success and a better future?"

"this..."

Xiao Wu did not dare to neglect, and after thinking seriously for a moment, he said: "Senior, your strength is considered to be a top player in the imperial capital, and ordinary wealthy people should welcome it. However, if you are determined to move up, I suggest You go to the Zhao family in the south of the city and the Nalan family in the west of the city. The Zhao family and the Nalan family are very wealthy families in the imperial capital. Although they are not as good as the ministers with official backgrounds in some places, they cannot stand up to their wealth. Nearly 20% of the property in the imperial capital is in the hands of his two families. Even some properties of the Yuwen royal family and the Mu family are managed by them, and other ministers have close contact with them. If you are You will definitely not suffer any loss if you can enter their door.”

"A businessman?"

Li Chuyi raised his eyebrows.

"The problem is that I'm not short of money! There are nine out of ten businessmen, and I'm afraid of being betrayed. By the way, when you said ministers just now, do you mean someone in your family is an official in the court?"

"Senior, that's right! The vassal clan refers to the family of those who have officials and titles. They are divided into five levels: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Son, and Male. Each title is further divided into three levels. Those who have officials but no titles cannot be called subject clans, and they will not be recorded by clan in the list of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but by titles such as household, mansion, and family. In terms of status, they are higher than merchants like the Nalan family of the Zhao family. The family is larger, but its actual power and influence are not necessarily greater than those of ordinary families.”

"That's why I dare to say, senior, if you want to join the Zhao family or the Nalan family, you might as well go to the Zhao family or the Nalan family. Compared with the wealthy families with official backgrounds, the Nalan family and the Zhao family with merchant backgrounds not only have fewer rules, but also have more channels and opportunities. , the most important thing is that the monthly money and rewards are definitely more than what most families give. Although you are not short of money, senior, spiritual stones are easy to earn and spiritual materials are rare. In the final analysis, monks still want to live forever and seek heaven. With these two. At least you don’t have to worry too much about what you need for your cultivation, right? You can buy whatever you want and get it first, so why not?”

Xiao Wu is very eloquent. If he really came here to seek support, he might still be persuaded by Xiao Wu now.

It's a pity that he is not, he is here to find someone.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Li Chuyi pretended to suddenly remember something. His eyes lit up and he asked, "By the way, before I came here, I heard that Zhenxi Prince's Mansion was recruiting people. Do you think there would be any fun if I went there?"

"Prince Zhenxi's Mansion...Senior, you really dare to think."

Infected by Li Chuyi's kindness, Xiao Wu gradually relaxed and curled his lips this time.

"Senior, Zhenxi Prince's Mansion is recruiting people, but you may not be able to find one if you go to a hundred homes. Let's not talk about unique magical powers. Let's just talk about cultivation. Anyone below the Yuan Shen stage can't even pass the first level. . The Prince of Zhenxi said it when he was recruiting people, they only recruit outstanding people, not useless people... Senior, don’t blame me, I didn’t mean that, you..."

"Don't be afraid, I didn't blame you, and you were right. My Yuan Ying stage cultivation is considered a master outside, but in front of others, I am really a waste, not as useful as a piece of shit."

The little fat man pretended to be helpless, but he was smiling in his heart.

If Xiao Wu knew that the King of Zhenxi in his mouth was messed up by him and Xiao Erhei, and finally fled Taixu Palace in a hurry without even daring to fart, what would his expression be like?

Xiao Wu laughed a few times and consoled him: "Senior, don't take it too seriously. The threshold for Prince Zhenxi's Mansion is indeed too high. You didn't even know when you first came here that there are really no bad guys around Prince Zhenxi, even for kissing. The soldiers are all Jinjiawei from Yishui, and their style is not much worse than that of Emperor Yanling! I heard that the King of Zhenxi went to the Supervision Department a while ago, and dozens of streets around him were sealed. The people guarding the perimeter were actually It was the silver-armored guard! King Zhenxi led several personal masters and hundreds of golden-armored guards to the door of the Supervision Department. Lord Sima Wang, who was the foreman that day, was so frightened that the Supervision Department looked bad for several days afterwards. Right? Even they are afraid of King Zhenxi, do you think that ordinary people can fall into the eyes of King Zhenxi? "

Yes, we finally got to the point!

The little fat man's eyes really lit up this time, and he asked curiously: "Really or not? The Supervision Department is afraid of King Zhenxi? Is King Zhenxi that powerful?"
