"Big brother, does Steward Wei really say that?" Outside the city, in the small courtyard of Liu Bin and his group, Luo Qing asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Lao Luo, the housekeeper said, stop recruiting people for a while, and let us wait for orders." Liu Bin replied sullenly, and then put down the heavy money bag in his hand, which contained a hundred taels of silver, which was left for them by Wei Zhongxian, who had just left, saying that it was the hard-earned money given to them by Gongzi.

"Big brother is confused, how can you collect this money!" Looking at the silver light reflected from the bag, Luo Qing's face suddenly changed, and his expression became impatient.

"Uh, why?" Liu Bin was a little confused by what he said.

"Big brother, this is obviously the other party's money, if you really take it, we will no longer have any relationship with the other party. Is it for the hundred taels of silver that we have worked so hard for? Luo Qing stomped his feet hatefully, lifted the silver, and chased out the door. It's just that when he asked about the situation and chased him out with the silver, Wei Zhongxian's carriage had long since disappeared.

"Oops." Seeing this, Luo Qing slapped his forehead, very annoyed, he just went out to inquire about the news, and the situation changed like this.

"Brother Xian, this ...... How about now? Luo Qing's annoyed and regretful look made Liu Bin a little overwhelmed.

"Big brother, when you were talking to Steward Wei just now, did you hear him say where to spend the night tonight? Is it at the foot of the palace pillar or directly back to the house? Luo Qing asked with some expectation. If they spend the night in Lingchunfang, then they can still find it, if they go back directly, then they will hate it and don't know where to find someone.

Until now, they didn't know who the boy was.

"It seems...... It seemed that he was spending the night in the palace, and the housekeeper said that there seemed to be something to be packed there, and he would go back tomorrow morning. Liu Bin tried to respond. His words made Luo Qing breathe a sigh of relief, and his whole demeanor relaxed, not as impatient as he was just now.

"That's okay, there's still time to ∵, let's go find Mr. Wang."

On the left and right sides of Zhengyangmen, the gate directly south of the inner city of Beijing, there are two streets, of course, the streets are the modern name, at that time they were called fang. The west side of Zhengyang Gate is called Dashi Yongfang, and the east side is called Nanxunfang. These two are lively and very rich, because most of the people who live here are officials.

As for why the officials live here, there is no other, it is close to the yamen. Most of the institutions in the center of the Ming Dynasty were on both sides of the Daming Gate, and the royal road around the Daming Gate was divided on both sides. And these two streets are also on both sides of the Daming Gate. The petty officials who could not afford a carriage at home could only rely on walking, which was closer to the yamen and convenient for them to go to work.

After Liu Bin and Luo Qing decided to go to Mr. Wang, they did not delay, took out twenty taels of silver from the one hundred taels, and went out. They walked very fast, because it was going to be dark soon, and when the Zhengyang Gate was closed, they would not be able to enter. Due to the urgency of time, the two of them hurried slowly, almost running along the way, and finally entered Zhengyangmen at the last moment.

After arriving in the inner city, they couldn't take a break, and spent five taels of silver to buy four-color pastries in the shop, two pieces of cloth and some meat and fresh fruits, and then went to Dashi Yongfang. Mr. Wang lives there.

Mr. Wang's home is in a hutong, which looks like the back door of a house from a geographical point of view. As for which mansion the main gate is, this is not something that Liu Bin can know, he only knows that the owner here seems to be working in the Criminal Department, and it was he who hired Mr. Wang into Beijing.

"Knock knock!"

After knocking lightly on the somewhat small wooden door, the two of them waited for a while, and the door creaked open. However, it was not Mr. Wang who opened the door, but a simple descendant, who was very strong and looked powerful. This is Mr. Wang's constant entourage, it is said that his kindred, followed Mr. Wang to the capital to see the world.

"Brother Wang, don't you know that Mr. Wang is at home?" Liu Bin clasped his fists and saluted politely.

"Oh, Brother Wang is not at home, he went to drink with others, in the wine shop opened by Widow Du that he often goes to on weekdays." Brother Wang was very happy, and immediately told the two of them what they wanted to know.

"Thank you, little brother. These are gifts for Mr. Wang, please accept them. Liu Bin was overjoyed and hurriedly handed over the things in his hand. The little brother was not polite, he took the things directly, and walked in with his arms full.

The two did not delay, and after saying goodbye, they followed the road to Widow Du's wine shop. They knew that Mr. Wang had invited them to drink here.

When he came to the street, after turning a few corners, there was a clear aroma of wine, asking about the taste of wine, Liu Bin's throat couldn't help but stir, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he suddenly wanted to drink. But it's still important to get down to business, Liu Bin swallowed his saliva vigorously and pressed down the wine worm.

There are several liquor shops on this street, and in one of the corners, there is a dilapidated banner waving in the wind, on which are the words Du Jia Liquor Shop. There were a few holes in the flag, and it looked a little dirty, and it had obviously taken a long time.

At this time, the sun had set, but there was still a hint of sunset, and the sky was not very dark. Due to the hot weather, there are two spare money in their hands, and they have sold a pot of wine at this time, don't chat with people and drink, these wine shops are almost full of people, and they seem to be very lively.

"Big brother, look." Liu Bin kept shaking his nose and swallowing his saliva, his eyes did not look forward, but he walked forward with the familiarity of the past. It wasn't until Luo Qing next to him tugged him and motioned him to look forward that he turned his attention to the front.

"That's... Mr. Wang? As soon as Liu Bin looked up, he seemed to see a familiar figure at the door of the Du family's wine shop. His eyesight is not as good as Luo Qing's, and he is a little afraid to confirm it.

"That's right, that's Mr. Wang." Luo Qing affirmed.

At this time, Mr. Wang was waving goodbye to people, it was an elderly middle-aged man, his hair was faintly gray, he was a little old, but he was in good spirits, his face was upright, and he had a calm and unhurried temperament, and he seemed to be a scholar.

"Brother Wang is leaving, the miscellaneous family is on errands, I have to go back first, and we will meet again another day." Since it was already small, some of the man's words drifted through. Although they deliberately concealed it, the two of them still heard something unusual, this elderly scholar, his voice seemed to be a little sharp and harsh.

After he and Mr. Wang said goodbye, they turned around and left, just past the two of them. Luo Qingping is good at thinking and observing, there is nothing abnormal about this person's dress, but he somehow felt something from this person, some of the same characteristics as Steward Wei.

"Big brother, have you noticed that this person is a little similar to Steward Wei." Luo Qing raised his elbow and poked Liu Bin's position next to him, as if he wanted to ask him. But unexpectedly, his elbow stabbed into the air, and Liu Bin was no longer next to him.

He looked up and saw that Liu Bin had already greeted him and greeted Mr. Wang.

After a short greeting, Mr. Wang and the two of them did it again.

"Lady of the Du family, remove the leftovers here, help me re-serve a few appetizers, and bring another pot of wine." As soon as he sat down, Mr. Wang shouted familiarly, judging by his attitude, he was obviously a frequent visitor here.

"Okay." A crisp shout came from the inside of the liquor store. Soon, a beautiful woman dressed in cloth and wearing an apron walked out with a pot of wine, the woman was delicate, very gentle temperament, and her hands and feet were very quick to work, and she cleaned up the table in two clicks.

"Come, the dishes will have to wait for a while, have a drink first, and go to the heat." After Mr. Wang poured it for the two, he picked up the wine glass and dried it in a very proud sip. There was a hint of redness on his face, and it was obvious that he had drunk a lot just now.

Mr. Wang's full name is Wang Wenyan, he looks elegant and weak, but he is full of pride, his behavior is very generous, his words are decent, and he can talk to anyone, and he does not feel cold or uncomfortable at all.

After a glass of wine, Mr. Wang Wenyan asked with some concern: "Brother Liu, didn't you say last time that you met a nobleman, and the nobleman still wants you to help with things, how is the matter going?" Has it entered the eyes of the nobles? ”

"Hi sir, don't say it. That's what we're here for. Liu Bin put down the wine glass, immediately made a bitter face, and told the matter from beginning to end.

At first, Mr. Wang didn't care very much, and while listening, he embellished himself with wine and ate side dishes. But when he heard that he was sent away in a carriage, he was obviously shocked, and the wine in his mouth almost choked. However, he did not interrupt Liu Bin's narration and motioned for the other party to continue.

After Liu Bin explained the ins and outs of the whole matter, Mr. Wang asked with a solemn face: "Brother Liu, can you describe the appearance of those carriages carefully." His request made Liu Bin and Luo Qing feel strange, and they didn't care about the robbery of the silver, but about the details of the carriage.

However, the two of them admired Mr. Wang, and did not say anything, and carefully described the carriage again, "There is nothing unusual about the carriage, it is made of ordinary wood, it is relatively spacious, and it can accommodate quite a lot of people, and the most special thing is that the curtains are nailed, and you can't see the outside from the inside." ”

Listening to this, the solemnity of Mr. Wang's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a kind of excitement and joy, and he seemed to have discovered some great secret from Liu Bin's words.

However, he forcibly suppressed the joy on his face and asked again: "Brother Liu, can you describe the gate of the Lingchunfang Palace, I can judge and judge." ”

Although he was a little strange about the other party's expression in his heart, Liu Bin still described what he saw in front of the palace according to his request. Mr. Wang listened more carefully this time, and still didn't ask some strange questions out loud, such as how many copper nails were on the gate, what was the Rui beast at the door, and so on.

After hearing what he wanted, Mr. Wang could no longer suppress his excitement and laughed, "God help me, God help me." ”

"Don't be in a hurry about the two of you, wait for me to go back and think about it carefully, we will meet in Lingchunfang tomorrow morning and go to meet that Steward Wei." After saying this, he actually laughed and walked away, and his posture was extremely chic. Only Liu Bin and Luo Qing were left stupid, looking at each other, not knowing what was going on.
