Li Zhen then inquired about Wang Yuanbao's mansion, which was in Yanshoufang next to the West Market.

Only then did Li Zhen know that Wang Yuanbao was actually the richest man in Chang'an, and his father Wang Xin was a trader in the Western Regions, and with his jewelry from the Western Regions and wine from Gaochang, he became one of the richest people in the entire Tang Dynasty.

The main residence of the Wang family is in Luoyang, Chang'an is just a separate house, and like Wushun, Wang Yuanbao also holds the title of Zhuguo, so the plaque of his mansion in Chang'an is also 'Wang Zhuguo'.

The mansion covers an area of nearly seventy acres, built magnificently, from the time of Wu Zetian, the imperial court gradually tolerated the merchants, and let go of all kinds of shackles on the merchants.

Merchants could ride horses, build ornate mansions, have titles, even become officials, participate in imperial examinations, and their social status was greatly improved.

Li Zhen and the three of them handed the greeting post to the concierge, and after a while, Wang Yuanbao came out with a spring breeze on his face, "Brother Li, when did you come to Chang'an?"

Compared with Gao Changshi, Wang Yuanbao's skin has become much fairer, his face has become fatter, and his spirit is flying, and it can be seen that the success of his trip to the Western Regions has made him receive great praise, which is in stark contrast to Wu Shun's indignation.

Li Zhen bowed and saluted: "The junior brother only came to Chang'an yesterday, and today I came to visit Brother Wang. ”

"It's too late, you should have come yesterday, I'm going to punish you with three glasses of wine, you dare to snub me!"

The two laughed, Wang Yuanbao greeted Jiu Zhi and Kang Dazhuang again, but he didn't see Xiao Xiao, he asked a little strangely: "Didn't Brother Yao Xian come to Chang'an with him?"

If he hadn't seen Wang Qingyu, Li Zhen really thought that Wang Yuanbao didn't know anything, but now his heart is like a mirror, Wang Yuanbao actually knows everything, but he is just acting in front of him.

Li Zhen also pretended to smile bitterly and said: "This matter is difficult to explain!"

Wang Yuanbao smiled, "Okay, if you have time, let's go into the house and talk slowly." ”

He invited Li Zhen and the three of them into the mansion, and Wang Yuanbao's mansion was really magnificent, with green trees, carved beams and paintings everywhere, and the patterns such as beads, tassels, flying heavens, lotus petals, etc. were exquisite.

A variety of small and chic pavilions can be found everywhere, and a small river is specially drawn to run through the mansion, whether it is feng shui or architectural style, it is a fine mansion, which is pleasing to the eye.

Everyone came to the guest hall, the guests sat down, and the maid served tea and refreshments, at this time, there was a sound of ring pei outside, Wang Yuanbao smiled and said: "This is the sister of the house!"

A gust of fragrant wind hit, Wang Qingyu appeared on the steps of the lobby surrounded by several maids, she had changed into a green long Luo skirt, and she looked even more plump and beautiful, and she was full of lotus step by step.

"I heard that a distinguished guest is coming, it turns out to be Li Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Wang whispered as if she hadn't seen Li Zhen at all in the morning, with a smile on her face that had been reunited after a long absence, she bowed to Jiu Zhi and Kang Dazhuang slightly, "Welcome the two of you to be guests!"

The three of them hurriedly got up and saluted her back, and Li Zhen said with a smile: "When I saw Miss Wang, I knew that the water and soil in Chang'an were so nourishing. ”

Wang covered his mouth and chuckled, the corners of his eyes were charming, "Li Gongzi is really good at talking, thank you for your praise in a whisper!"

She sat down next to her brother Shi Shiran, smiling smartly, but no longer spoke.

Wang Yuanbao smiled again and asked, "I don't know where Brother Xian lives now, do you want to move to my house?"

"We stayed in the Yipin Inn in Pingkangfang, and we stayed very well, thank you Brother Wang for your kindness!"

Wang Yuanbao smiled and took a sip of tea slowly, at this time, Li Zhen groaned, and then got straight to the point: "Don't hide it from Brother Wang, we met Wushun last night." ”

Wang Yuanbao's hand trembled slightly, the tea almost came out, his face was obviously a little unnatural, even Wang's whispering smile disappeared, and he seemed to be in deep thought, Li Zhen knew very well that Wang Yuanbao actually knew everything, and he asked tentatively: "Is Brother Wang familiar with him?"

"What's unripe!"

Wang Yuanbao pretended to be an understatement and said: "The people of Chang'an who have a little insight know him, his original surname is Liu, and he is also a huge rich man in Chang'an, three years ago, he gave half of his family property to Wu Chenghei, so he recognized Wu Chenghei as his father and changed his name to Wu Shun, in the past three years, he has relied on Wu Chenghe's power to do mischief in Chang'an, which is deeply hateful, how can Li Gongzi know him?"

"That's the case, Da Zhuang's sister was deceived by him and was ready to sacrifice to Wu Chenghei, we went to his mansion last night to rescue, and went to the unfortunate ambush, Yao Xi was caught by him, Wu Shun told me that I must exchange that relic for their lives, so"

Wang Yuanbao's face became more and more ugly, and he said for a while: "Li Gongzi won't think that the relics are still in my hands!"

Although it was difficult for Li Zhen to speak, it was a matter of Xiao Xi and Sisi's life, and he had to say it clearly, "I know that the relics are very important to Brother Wang, and I don't plan to ask for real relics, I just hope that Brother Wang can give me the shadow relics, didn't Brother Wang say last time that the shadow relics have been sent back to Chang'an?"

"Yes! That's what I said last time, but it's just a coincidence, I've already sent the shadow relics to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, and our Wang family has sesame oil there, if the virtuous brother can give me a month, maybe I can welcome the shadow relics back, I wonder if the virtuous brother can wait a while?"

Li Zhen couldn't say a word, no matter whether Wang Yuanbao really sent the shadow relics to the Shaolin Temple, but his attitude was clear to Li Zhen, even if the shadow relics were in his hands, he would not take them out.

From another point of view, what is the difference between this Wang Yuanbao and Wu Shun?

At this time, Kang Dazhuang couldn't help but say anymore: "Brother Wang, if you can't hand over the relics to Wushun tonight, Xiao Xi and my sister will both suffer misfortune, can you ask Brother Wang to think of a way to save their lives!"

Wang Yuanbao sighed for a while, "I really can't help it, I can only express my heart a little more, come on!"

Two henchmen came from the hall and stood with their hands down, and Wang Yuanbao instructed them, "Go and fetch five hundred taels of gold." ”

Since the words have been said and said, there is no need for them to stay any longer, Li Zhen stood up and said in a calm tone: "Thank you Brother Wang for your kindness, there is no need for gold, we will leave first, and there will be a period later!"

"Brother Xian, I'm really sorry. ”

"No need! I can understand Brother Wang's distress, and I will never force Brother Wang. Li Zhen nodded with a smile, didn't look at Wang's whispering, turned around and walked away with Kang Dazhuang and Jiuzhi.

Wang Yuanbao looked at them and walked away, his nose snorted coldly, behind him, Wang whispered but didn't say a word, I don't know what she was thinking?

Coming out of Wang Yuanbao's mansion, Jiu Zhi snorted fiercely, and couldn't help but scold: "It's just a bastard, ungrateful, how can this kind of person get Chang'an Fu?"

"Do you think that people with affection and righteousness will get mixed up with Chang'an's wealth?" Kang Dazhuang sneered.

He looked at Li Zhen worriedly, "Ah Zhen, what should we do now?"

"Let's go back to the inn first, and I'll think of another way. ”

Li Zhen had a cold face, turned over and got on the horse, urging the horse to run towards Pingkangfang.

Back at the inn, Li Zhen sat at the small table, drawing a map of Wushun Mansion on paper with the memory of last night, since he failed to take the relics, then he could only use the next strategy, sneak into Wushun Mansion, and capture Wushun's children as hostages in exchange.

Jiuzhi and Kang Dazhuang sat on the side and waited anxiously, they were also at a loss now.

At this moment, a man's voice came from outside the door, "Master Li, someone sent a letter." ”

Li Zhen was stunned, how could he have a letter again, he hurriedly took the drawing paper, and said, "Please come in!"

The man entered the door and handed him a letter, Li Zhen recognized the handwriting on the letter, he quickly opened the letter, and there were only three words written on a plain note: 'Old place. ’

In the room of Yunxian Pavilion, Li Zhen was pacing back and forth, he didn't know why Wang Qingyu was looking for him again, maybe she wanted to show him a clear way, maybe she was going to warn herself again.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and a tall woman in a white dress came in like a gust of wind, she was wearing a bamboo hat, a thin light veil covered her face, and she was holding a cloud brocade bag that was the most popular among Tang women.

Li Zhenben hesitated and asked, "The girl is"

The woman in the white dress lifted the light veil covering her face, and said with a smile: "Did Gongzi Li forget me so quickly?"

It was Wang Qingyu, who he only saw half an hour ago, and Li Zhen secretly scolded himself for being dizzy.

He hurriedly apologized: "It turned out to be Miss Wang, I just didn't expect to see the girl again so soon." ”

"Don't you want to see me?" Wang whispered, his beautiful eyes staring deeply at her.

"It's not" Li Zhen didn't know what to say, he had to smile bitterly, "Miss Wang, it's really hard to say." ”

Wang sighed softly, "My brother is that kind of person, of course you don't want to see me again, but our Wang family is not all ruthless and unrighteous people. ”

Wang Qingyu took out a purple package from the cloud brocade bag and handed it to him, "This is the shadow relic you want!"
