On the second day, I had breakfast. The servants sent by the owner arrived on time.

After Zhengliang and Wang Hai had some trouble, he followed the servant alone and disguised himself as a passer-by and walked all the way out of the city.

To be honest, Zhengliang always thought that the other party would choose to meet in the city, such as a restaurant, or even a private house, after all, the city is mixed with fish and snakes, which is easy to hide, but he didn't expect the other party to choose the outside of the city as a place to meet.

Walking all the way along the official road to the suburbs, Zhengliang couldn't help but muttered to himself, the other party wouldn't have other plans. However, seeing that Wang Hai was still calm, Zhengliang decided to go a little further.

Zhengliang is now located on the outskirts of the northern part of the city of Ningbo. Not far away is the Three Ports, which became famous in the future, and were named after the confluence of three rivers.

The two continued to walk with the servant for about two quarters of an hour, until they came to a ferry, and when Masara looked closely, he saw that there was a stone tablet next to the ferry, with the inscription "Peach Blossom Crossing". Could it be that the other side is on the other side? Masato couldn't help but think.

But to Masahiro's surprise, as he was about to approach the ferry, the servant who was in charge of leading the way suddenly turned around and walked along the road by the river, and soon the group stopped in front of the gate of a courtyard full of peach blossom trees.

The servant walked to the gate of the courtyard and tapped it several times, and the gate of the courtyard squeaked open a crack in the door. The servant who led the way whispered a few words to the man who opened the door, and the door creaked open. Then the servant who led the way turned his head and beckoned to the two of them, signaling them to follow closely.

Walking into the courtyard, I found that this is a typical Jiangnan garden.

This is a two-way courtyard. Masahiro is now in the outer court. As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted by a huge granite screen covered with green vines, and a corridor on the left and right sides. At the end of the corridor on the left you can see a circular arch, through which you can see that you are entering the courtyard again. The corridor on the right leads to some of the rooms, which are supposed to be the rooms where the people live.

The servant who led the way walked up to the bluestone-paved corridor on the left, and soon bypassed the megalithic screen. At this time, Zhengliang saw the whole picture of the outer courtyard clearly. The outer courtyard is square and has a small pond in the middle. In the center of the pond is a gazebo, with a small arched bridge connecting the corridor on the left, and on the right side of the courtyard are several rooms arranged in a neat row. Masaro was following the servant leading the way to one of the rooms.

Upon arrival at the guest's room, the servant made a gesture of please. Masahiro and the two followed the servant into the room, only to see a splendid screen placed in the room, dividing the room in two. A table had been set up on the side of the two of them, apparently for the two of them.

It seems that the other party doesn't want to meet the two of them directly. Seeing such a situation, Zheng Liang thought in his heart. However, from the other side's point of view, this is also a normal move. When it is not confirmed whether Masashi is really qualified to cooperate with him, it is reasonable to do so for the sake of safety.

Zhengliang smiled indifferently, glanced at Wang Hai, and sat down peacefully.

"Miss. Two guests have arrived". The servant who had been leading the way said respectfully to the other side of the screen.

"Distinguished guests, I can't welcome you from afar, please forgive me", a beautiful voice came from behind the screen.

"Hehe, the owner is polite, today I brought His Royal Highness Masashi from Japan." Wang Hai immediately said to the other side of the screen.

"Your Royal Highness Zhengliang, the little girl is polite. Since His Highness has come from afar. It must be inevitable to cooperate this time, so the little woman has also beaten around the bush. Please tell His Highness Masara what kind of benefits His Highness can bring to the family this time", the woman said slowly. …,

Zhengliang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this woman's personality is really refreshing and straightforward. didn't say much politely, and went straight to the topic. Since the other party is like this, Zhengliang is not polite, and immediately asked Wang Hai to explain the plan that the two discussed last night.

Why do you want Wang Hai to say it? mainly indirectly told the woman inside that Wang Hai and Zhengliang had already discussed this plan.

Sure enough, after Wang Hai said this plan, the woman asked a few more detailed questions, and finally did not say anything more. I should be thinking about the gains and losses.

Zhengliang and Wang Hai were not in a hurry, drinking tea while quietly waiting for each other's response.

"His Royal Highness Zhengliang has just come from Dongying?" At this time, the woman inside suddenly asked a strange question.

"I arrived a few days ago, but I only arrived at the boundary of Ningbo Prefecture yesterday," Zhengliang replied truthfully, anyway, it was an innocuous question, and it didn't matter if he answered generously.

"I don't know which official road His Royal Highness Zhengliang took to Ningbo Mansion?" The woman continued.

This time, Masarashi didn't answer immediately, because he felt a little strange. Why do they keep asking about their journey?

"Don't hide it from His Royal Highness Zhengliang, the little woman was attacked by gangsters on the way back to Ningbo Mansion two days ago, and the servants were killed and injured heavily.

"Eh" Zhengliang was stunned. It can't be such a coincidence, right? Isn't the chivalrous man that the woman is talking about in many words exactly herself? Wang Hai was also quite shocked, first, because the owner was attacked, from the time of calculation, it was after meeting with him that he was attacked, and he was afraid that he was suspected of being a collaborator; The second is that Zhengliang forcibly took the cottage that day, and then saved people on the evening of the second day, he also knew a little about it, and immediately guessed that the chivalrous man mentioned by the owner was Zhengliang himself. Thinking of this, Wang Hai looked at Zhengliang, and his eyes were full of inquiry.

Seeing Wang Hai's eyes, Zhengliang smiled bitterly, then took out the handkerchief deliberately left by the rescued woman that night from his arms and handed it to the servant on the side, signaling him to take it to the master inside. This handkerchief was originally going to be put in Zhengliang's package, but Ming Feng Xiuzheng, who was in charge of keeping the package, was reluctant to carry the package where the handkerchief was placed. He was also a shrewd man, and apparently felt that the woman had left this handkerchief for the head of the house. In order to avoid suspicion, even if it is for safekeeping, he is unwilling. Masashi is also a casual person, so he simply carries this handkerchief with him. I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

The servant took the handkerchief and handed it to a maid. The maid immediately took the handkerchief to her master.

There was a sound of a chair moving from inside the "squeak", and then only the woman was heard to say, "Sure enough, it's a chivalrous man." (To be continued......) ……，
