The two walked quickly, prepared gifts, and went straight to Huafu without delay.

When they arrived at the gate of Huafu, the two looked up, only to see that Huafu was really magnificent, with a single courtyard and a large area, and in front of the vermilion thick gate, there were not only two stone lion town houses, but also two living people holding spears to guard.

"Please pass it on, and say that Wu Zhi and Li Zhong, the treasurers of Tianwangtang, have something to visit...... "Wu Zhi rushed to the door and guarded.

"......" The two guards didn't bother to pay attention to Wu Zhi's report, and only pointed at a wooden sign next to the door with the gun in their hand.

Wu Zhi looked at it and saw a line of red letters written on the wooden sign:

Idle people, etc., stay away by yourself!

Wu Zhi thought to himself, the two of us are not badly dressed, why are we waiting for idle people?

He didn't know that most of the people who often went in and out of this Huafu were official eunuchs, and most of the clothes in and out of one or two were official uniforms, and there were carriages and horses, how could there be a reason for walking on their own and dirty shoes and socks?

Therefore, at a glance, you can know that Wu Zhi and Li Zhong are just ordinary people. Even if you have a gift in your hand, it shows even more that you are not a little person who asks for the flower master.

Moreover, the doormen of Huafu are not all done by everyone, they need to recognize the dignitaries and nobles who often come and go, who comes and goes, who to let in, and who not to let in, they all know in their hearts, so most of the time they don't need to pass it on at all.

At least the master with a head and a face will not be blocked at the gate. They are all invited into the hall to entertain first, and then they will be reported.

Whoever needs to pass at the gate has to be communicated, there is no well-known name, and there is an order in the house, which is just a sentence on the wooden sign and sent it casually, so that it is natural to block the eighty or ninety percent of the visitors who are unknown to the door of the house, and naturally refuse to stay away.

The superior, how can it be so easy to see?

Don't even think about it.

Wu Zhi asked again, and the two of them simply treated him as illiterate this time, pointed the head of the gun at the wooden sign, and read out the words on it:

"See? Don't know how to read? Hear clearly, idle people, etc., stay away on your own! ”

Wu Zhi thought that they wanted benefits, and for the sake of Li Zhong, he had to take out two taels of silver and hand them over, but he didn't expect the two guards to push Wu Zhi's hand, and the silver fell on the stairs at the door, making a clanging sound, and they also made a gesture to drive the two to the bottom of the stairs.

Wu Zhi endured it, thinking that the money was small, but fortunately he had enough ammunition when he went out, so he took out another twenty taels of silver, but he didn't expect the result to be the same, the two guards saw the white silver as if they had seen a ghost, and immediately took a few steps back, standing high in front of the steps, one left and one right, slammed the two guns in his hands, and swung forward obliquely into an X, pointing to Wu Zhi and Li Zhong's chests.

"Leave quickly, or don't blame us for being unkind!"

The attitude of the two guards was indifferent, but the approach was not too much.

It's just that Wu Zhi didn't expect them to not accept cash, and now it will be difficult to see Master Hua and Li Bei'er, it seems that he can only hope to tell the truth and go straight to the point:

"The two eldest brothers, this Uncle Li Zhongli, is the brother of Master Hua's nephew and daughter-in-law, Li Bei'er, today I came to visit his sister, and I have important matters to discuss with Master Hua, if you report late and miss Master Hua's big event, I'm afraid that even if you fight this elm head on your neck, you won't ......be able to bear it."

This sentence really worked immediately, one is to kiss, the other is to intimidate, the two guards you look at me and I look at you, compared to the previous indifference, the tone has eased a lot, one of them said:

"You wait here, I'll go in and pass it on."

The man said, pulled the knocker and knocked a few times, and called Brother Zhao inside, and soon the door was opened, the man entered, and the door was closed again.

Wu Zhi and Li Zhong were waiting in a hurry, the guard came out, looked at him, and then glanced at his companion, and then the two of them actually returned to their previous appearance, like two sculptures.

"Big brother, how are you doing? What did Mr. Hua say? ”

"Hurry up, hurry up, Master Hua, he's not in the house......"

"Then you can also find Hanako and ...... Playboy"

"Second Master Hua is not in the mansion either."

"So, what about my sister Li Bei'er?" Li Zhong was anxious and asked.

"The second young grandmother is not in the house either."

"What? "Very good. Then let's take our leave! By the way, the people you sent to Zhangfu to negotiate the conditions should be carefully searched, I don't have any recommendations for my mother-in-law, but I know a good one here, named Zhao Qi......"

"No problem. I will do what you say immediately, mother-in-law, I will ask Sister-in-law Xue, and find another tooth man as a companion, so I will use what you said Zhao Qi ......" knocked a few times, and called Brother Zhao inside, and soon the door was opened, the person entered, and the door was closed again.

Wu Zhi and Li Zhong were waiting in a hurry, the guard

The parties agreed.

Li Zhong took the newly made clothes and put them on, and wanted to pay the balance, but Lao Pan said that he would not accept anything, so he gave up, and the two went out of the silk village through the back door.

The back door exit is in another alley. But none of them are in the house? ”

"......" The two guards shut up, refusing to say anything more.

In short, it's just too lazy to pay attention to you, and don't beat and scold you, you want to enter the door but you don't have the door. Looking at their well-trained appearance, Wu Zhi knew that it would be useless to entangle with them more, and sure enough, compared with that Zhang Mansion, there is a huge difference, it is simply one in the sky and the other in the ground, which can be seen from the quality of the guards......

Zhang Fu can give a little reward casually, and he can call out the characters from it, but here, it is useless to say anything or do anything, and if you can't get in, you can't get in.

Needless to say, he doesn't have a name, and it's normal for the playboy to be not interested, but it stands to reason that the playboy should at least meet when he heard that his nephew and daughter-in-law Li Bei'er's own brother came to visit, why is he also indifferent?

I'm afraid there is something strange in this, and I always feel that something is weird, but I can't say why it is at all.

I don't know what happened in the time that time the guard entered the door. He didn't say a word after he went out, and he only answered when you asked him, and it seemed that the words he answered were nine times out of ten lying, so, that is to say, Master Hua and Li Bei'er and others were obviously in the house......

So, why avoid it and refuse indifferently?

Is there something unsavory in this?!!!

Wu Zhi slapped his left palm with his right fist, and was a little annoyed while pondering, hey, I knew that there was such a complicated thing behind this matter, when I asked to see him just now, how good it would be to let the guards go directly to pass on Li Bei'er......

But then again, it is almost impossible for a large family like Huafu to bypass the men in the family and meet their female dependents directly......

After all, the bigger the family, the stricter the family rules!

Many of the patriarchal and shackling practices left over from history actually spread from places such as dignitaries and the inner courtyard of the palace......

The two had no choice but to walk back.
