In an alley not far from the Imperial Observatory, there is a three-story inn, the inn is very small, but the name is very atmospheric, called the Yuhua Inn.

It was the middle of spring in April, and the weather was getting warmer, and the windows of the inn were opening to let the warm air penetrate the room, but the southernmost upper room on the third floor had closed windows, which was slightly different.

In the room, Li Zhen was discussing with Di Yan about Yang Pei, he only came from Fangzhou yesterday, and the school captain Lu Jin gave them the exact information, Taishou Yang Pei was brought to Chengdu by Lai Junchen, Li Zhen was also quite worried in his heart, Lai Junchen has been in Chengdu for three days, Yang Pei will not be able to endure the heavy punishment has confessed.

But Li Zhen doesn't have any news about Yang Pei now, they have no connections in Chengdu, and everything is starting over.

At this time, Li Zhenzheng took out a map of Yushitai and carefully examined it, this is the map that Di Yan bought from the black market, there are a large number of prisoners in Yushitai Prison, most of them are merchants who sell illicit salt, and a lot of news about Yushitai appeared on the black market.

"So I told you not to worry, I know the Chengdu black market, as long as you are willing to pay, you can buy anything. Di Yan said a little triumphantly.

Li Zhen was really satisfied with this map, it was depicted very clearly, including the position of the sentry and so on, and it was obvious that this was an insider's description, he smiled and asked: "If I want to find a prison official to inquire about the news, can I do it?"

"Of course you can, there is a special broker over there, there is a lot of information, a wide range of roads, as long as you are willing to pay, he will help people find the most suitable person. ”

Li Zhen nodded, "I'll go with you"

He took out a mask, this is the mask he got from Uncle Di Yan last year, although it has not been used for a long time, but Li Zhen has always been with him, Di Yan took the mask with a smile, and carefully put it on his face for him, Li Zhen turned into a gentleman with a sickly face again.

The Chengdu black market is located in the south of the city, and the so-called black market is only forbidden by the government because some trading items, such as crossbows, horizontal knives and other weapons, as well as official maps and so on.

In fact, there are many legal businesses here, among which the real estate industry is the most prosperous, and people who want to buy and sell houses come here to provide information, which is pulled by intermediary brokers, and of course, many people with information and connections will also haunt here to provide information to those who need help.

Li Zhen followed Di Yan to the back garden of a land temple, which covers a wide area, grows vegetables, around a pond, many people sit on the mats, talking and laughing, quite lively, Di Yan whispered to Li Zhen: "These people are brokers, most of them buy and sell houses, but the good and the bad are uneven, you still have to be careful." ”

"How do you know this?" asked Li Zhen a little strangely.

"I came with Master last year, and Master bought a house here, and I saw a lot at that time. ”

Li Zhen nodded silently, he knew that Di Yan liked to run around, and he was more knowledgeable than himself, so he didn't speak, and followed Di Yan to a big willow tree, there was also a mat under the willow tree, and there was a small table on the table, a middle-aged man was sitting on the table fishing, and there were a few refreshments on the small table next to him. ”

"Uncle, I'm here again. ”

Di Yan smiled and sat down opposite him, the middle-aged man recognized Di Yan and immediately laughed, "The girl's map in the morning is good"

"It's useless yet, we have something else to find an uncle. ”

The middle-aged man glanced back at Li Zhen, although Li Zhen was a gentleman with an excessively wine-colored face, but he was wearing a brocade robe and a burly figure, especially he was condescending, giving the middle-aged man a strong sense of depression, and the middle-aged man nodded to Li Zhen, "Please sit down too."

Di Yan hurriedly pulled Li Zhen to sit down, the middle-aged man also accepted the fishing rod, and said to Li Zhen with a smile: "In the next surname Wang, in Chengdu is still a bit of a way, if the son has something to help, just open his mouth, I will do my best if I can do it, I can't do it without taking a penny, and at the same time I will keep my mouth shut, and I will also introduce people to the son who have a way, in short, please rest assured." ”

Li Zhen smiled and didn't speak, Di Yan hurriedly said: "Of course we know that Uncle Wang relies on credibility to eat, and looking for Uncle Wang is to believe you." ”

The middle-aged man had already seen that Li Zhen was the one in charge, but it was the girl who spoke, he stroked his long beard and smiled at Di Yan: "What does the girl want me to help?"

Di Yan smiled: "Thank you Uncle Wang for the map this morning, but we still want to know about the situation of our family in prison, so let's just say that we want to find a jailer who is a little in charge." ”

"That's it."

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said: "I know a cell boss in the Yushitai Prison, this person is a warm-hearted person, but he is relatively timid, it should be no problem to inquire about the news, if you want to get people out, I'm afraid-"

"I just want to know the news. ”

"That's good, the price on my side is fair, three times, but I don't know the price over there, you have to negotiate it yourself, or you don't come forward, pay me twenty dollars, all the news is inquired by me, two ways, whatever you choose." ”

Di Yan glanced at Li Zhen, and Li Zhen finally spoke: "Money is not a problem, as long as the news is accurate, don't say twenty yuan, I can also give fifty yuan, but my money is not easy to earn, dare to fool me, but I am worried about my life, do you understand?"

After speaking, Li Zhen took out an ingot of gold and put it on the table, the middle-aged man's face suddenly became complicated, there are ten taels of gold, at least worth a hundred, but he is also a person who has experienced things, and he feels that this time the money may not be easy to earn, he has some contradictions in his heart, and finally he still can't withstand the temptation of gold, so he nodded and agreed.

"I wonder what news Childe wants me to inquire about?"

Li Zhen looked at Di Yan, and Di Yan immediately said in a low voice: "We know that three days ago, an official was taken to the Yushitai Prison—"

"Why don't you let him know where we live?"

On the way back to the inn, Di Yan smiled and asked, "Are you afraid that he will betray us?"

"After all, our opponent is Lai Junchen, that guy is very powerful, he will prevent someone from robbing the prison, if this surnamed Wang is recognized, Lai Junchen will use him to arrest us, we can't be guilty of planting in Chengdu for a Taishou who has no interests. ”

"Since there is no benefit, what are we going to risk this for?" Di Yan glanced at him with a smile.

Li Zhen smiled slightly: "Actually, I'm looking for favors, I can't bet all my future on Shangguan Wan'er."

"That's right"

Di Yan suddenly perked up, "My father also said that in the future, either King Luling will ascend the throne, or King Xiang will ascend the throne, no matter what, it will not be the turn of the martial family, you should really think more about your future......"

Speaking of this, Di Yan couldn't help but glance at him again, "Don't deal with women all day long." ”

Li Zhen closed his mouth in time, not wanting to go deeper into this topic.

The two did not return to the inn, but went directly to a liquor store diagonally opposite the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the two went up to the second floor, found a window seat to sit down, and from their seat they could see the gate of the official office.

The bartender said to them with a smile on his face, "What do you two guests order?"

"What's the signature dish?" Di Yan asked with a smile.

"The most famous dish of the small shop is the Jinguan grilled fish, with the carp of the Minjiang River, the meat is delicate, roasted to brown and fragrant, it is also one of the best in Chengdu, in addition, the white cut goat meat is also good, the material is authentic Qiang sheep, and Meizhou jade slice meat, the shop is very authentic. ”

"A plate of them, a few seasonal vegetables, fruits and vegetables, and any wine?"

"There is a Jinshihong from our store that is transported from the capital, it is really good wine, and the palace drinks this kind of wine. ”

Li Zhen felt a little strange in his heart, could it be that the eldest sister's business was really so hot that it was actually sold to Chengdu, at this time, Di Yan ordered the wine and food, and gave the bartender a reward of dozens of dollars, and the bartender went happily, Di Yan lowered her voice and smiled at Li Zhen: "Do you want us to make a bet?"

"Bet on what?"

"I bet that this wine is fake, the impostor Jin Shihong, whoever loses will have a treat"

Li Zhen couldn't cry or laugh a little, winning or losing was his own money, what was the point, but Li Zhen didn't want to ruin her fun, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I bet this wine is true." ”

Di Yan smiled proudly and bent her eyes, "You're going to lose"

The bartender brought a bottle of wine and two pairs of glasses, and when he saw the wine bottle, Li Zhen knew that he had lost, the wine bottle was actually a small earthen jar, when did the eldest sister use the earthen jar to hold wine.

"Two guests have a drink first, and the food will come immediately"

Di Yan rushed to pour Li Zhen a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "You take a sip first, see if you lose or I win?"

Li Zhen took a sip of the wine glass, his brows immediately furrowed, sour and astringent, where is this Jinshi Hong?

"Okay, count me out. ”

Li Zhen raised his hand to admit defeat in order to make her happy, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "How do you know it's fake, so sure?"

"It's stupid."

Di Yan pursed her lips disdainfully, "I don't have any eyesight, this wine is only two hundred wen a bottle, which is more than half cheaper than Luoyang, of course it is fake, I will know it as soon as I see the price." ”

"But the menu has always been in your hand, and I haven't even looked at it, how do I know?"

Di Yan raised a white and tender finger and waved it, and said with a smile: "If the manly husband loses, he will lose, don't think about cheating, besides, this girl doesn't have a penny on her, and it's useless for you to win." ”

Li Zhen almost said that the money would be offset by his body, but he bit his lip desperately, he knew the consequences of saying it, and he had to carry a few big bags on his head

At this moment, Di Yan suddenly pulled Li Zhen's hand and quickly gave him a look, Li Zhen saw her looking at the stairs, looking a little nervous, he couldn't help but turn sideways slightly, looking diagonally opposite, Li Zhen was also secretly taken aback.
