This is a courtyard of the Sihe, it should be a warehouse of the Salt Gang in Chang'an, which middle-aged man entered the door, beckoned other people to come over, and a total of more than 20 men walked out of the room for a while.

The middle-aged man saw that he was almost there, so he knelt down on one knee and said, "Wu Sheng, the hall master of the Chang'an branch of the Houshui Hall of the Salt Gang, pays a visit to the eldest brother of the hall master of the Dragon and Tiger Hall."

When the two dozen men in the back heard this, they first shook their heads, and then immediately knelt down to greet the eldest brother in unison, but some of them secretly looked up at Wu Xiao.

In their hearts, the eldest brother at the entrance of the main hall is at least forty or fifty years away, and the person standing in front of him is clearly a hairy child, how can he still be the eldest brother of Longhutang, and which big man behind this child is more like the eldest brother.

"Get up," Wu Xiao said lightly, then took the seal of the Dragon Tiger Hall from his underwear and handed it to Wu Sheng

Wu Sheng took out a small notebook, checked it and said, "It is indeed the seal letter of the Dragon and Tiger Hall", and then handed it back to Wu Xiao.

More than 20 men also got up one after another, and Wu Sheng said: "Last month, I received news from the main hall from somewhere, saying that the eldest brother of the Dragon and Tiger Hall came to Chang'an, if there is something for me to fully assist, I don't want the hall master to arrive in a month."

"There was a little delay on the way, I just arrived in Chang'an now, today I am mainly here to meet the brothers, there is nothing important to need the help of the brothers, you still have to do what you have to do, if there is anything to bother the brothers, I will make a sound" Wu Xiao said to Wu Sheng

"The hall master is too polite, if there is a need, even if he orders, the brothers will never give up," Wu Sheng said respectfully

"Hall Master Wu said it too seriously, I came in a hurry today, and I didn't bring anything, let's take this bit of silver, brothers, let's go and drink" After Wu Xiao finished speaking, he took out a bag of silver from his horse and handed it to Wu Sheng

"How does this make the hall master come to Chang'an, my hall should have been filial piety, and let the hall master break the bank, I really don't dare to be" Wu Sheng said

"Don't use these false tricks, take it, the brothers have worked hard for the help," Wu Xiao said loudly

"Thank you, hall master" More than 20 men were overjoyed, and Wu Xiao was much more pleasing to the eye

"I don't know where the hall master is going to settle down now" Wu Sheng handed the silver to a brother next to him, and then walked over and asked Wu Xiao

"There is no place to settle down, the city we just entered," Wu Xiao said

"Oh, that's right, there is a small courtyard at the foot of the west mountain in the west of the city, which is usually used as a warehouse for our hall, and now there are a few empty rooms, the place is quite secluded, or where to settle down first" Wu Sheng suggested

"Is the business in Chang'an easy lately?" Wu Xiao asked another question

"There are four halls in the gang that are active in the Chang'an area, Chang'an City is a pivotal hall in the gang, and all four halls have branches in Chang'an" Wu Sheng said for a moment, paused slightly, looked at Wu Xiao's face and said

"It's just that in recent months, many people from other gangs have been unable to get along with our salt gang, making trouble, smashing shops, and beating people. There are also those who rob us of business and want to share land with us. The government has also been strictly inspected recently, and the road is not very peaceful, Shunshuitang lost a few batches of goods when he was taking salt, and our two warehouses in Houshuitang were also raided several times."

"Can the brothers withstand it?" Wu Xiao asked

"The situation can still be maintained, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and everyone doesn't dare to go too far, it's nothing more than fighting for profit and wealth," Wu Sheng said

"I came to Chang'an and had something else, we don't live in the courtyard of Xishan first, let's find another place to live, settle down, I will send someone to send you the address over, Longhutang is raised in the gang, there is something important to come out for the brothers" Wu Xiao said slowly

Wu Sheng looked at this young man again, he had also heard about the Jiangnan Longhu Mountain General Hall, but it was difficult for him to connect with the young man in front of him.

"Okay, let's listen to the hall master, which hall master will arrange it by himself first" Wu Sheng did not insist

After the four of them came out, they found an inn to live in, and the next day Hongyu took Zhaohu to find a place to live on the street, and Wu Xiao went to the Gongyuan, voted for his own name, and registered for registration.

When she returned to the inn in the evening, she found Zhaohu and Yan Nu sitting at the table, while Hongyu walked back and forth in the room, talking about something, and she seemed to be very excited.

"Xiaoxiao, why did you come back" Seeing that Wu Xiao was back, the red fish rushed over

"What's the matter, so happy," Wu Xiao asked

"We saw a very good shop on the street today, which is very suitable for a medical center, and it happened to be renting, I decided to rent it, Xiaoxiao, you say it's okay" Hongyu looked at Wu Xiao with excitement on his face

"We don't rent," Wu Xiao said as she looked at her

"Why, I want it" Hongyu looked at Wu Xiao pitifully

"Which house are we going to buy?" Wu Xiao said

"Okay, but do we have enough silver, and there are still a lot of expenses behind, this is Chang'an City, it's not like in Jiangnan" Hongyu was a little worried

"I'll take care of the silver," Wu Xiao said as she looked at her

"I don't want to hit you, but when you're so big, you haven't earned a silver or two by yourself, and it's not so easy to make money," Redfish looked at him and smiled

"Go to bed early, let's go see it tomorrow" Wu Xiao said, Hongyu had to go back to the room with the fox suspicion, but she was also a little expectant.

Which is a three-storey small building facing the street, at a crossroads in the south of the city, there are many shops nearby, there are many vendors, there is a lobby on the first floor, which is quite spacious, there are five or six rooms on the second floor, and there are still tables and chairs on the second floor, and the third floor is the attic, there is a small terrace facing the street, which can be used for drying.

The owner of the house is a local person in Chang'an City, he looked Wu Xiao and Hongyu up and down at this time, and said after half a sound: "This is not an ordinary place."

The owner of the house walked outside and pointed to the street and said: "Look at this area, the south and the north are coming, how lively, there are many people looking for me to buy, I haven't sold it, see that you are more sincere, so let's do it, one hundred and twenty taels of silver, I will shoot."

"Boss, your price is too high, I inquired, on this street, an industry like this, at most a hundred taels" Hongyu stepped forward.

"One hundred taels, you look at my area, my orientation, the structure of my small building, my place is the best location in this area, one hundred taels I lost a lot of money" The boss said emotionally

"Okay, it's one hundred and twenty taels, and I'll go to the Yamen to deliver it today," Wu Xiao said

This is true, "Which boss seems to have caught something."

Hongyu took Wu Xiao's hand and whispered: "Xiaoxiao, one hundred and two taels is too expensive, which boss is cheating us, and besides, we don't have so much silver on hand, or forget it."

Wu Xiao patted her hand and said, "Don't worry."

"One hundred and twenty taels, let's settle today," Wu Xiao said to the boss

"It's still this little brother who is happy, at first glance, he is a person who does big things, where to walk, it's still early, there is no one at the yamen, it's easy to do things" The boss was very excited

"You and the two of them clean up here, I'll go to the yamen to settle it," Wu Xiao said to Hongyu

"Where did you get all the money, and what did you go out in the morning?" Redfish was a little anxious

"I'll tell you when I come back," Wu Xiao said

Hongyu had no choice but to let Zhaohu and Yan Nu start to clean up the house, in fact, they didn't have to clean up much, many of them were ready-made, and some furniture that was not needed, Zhaohu moved them to a room and put them away.

At noon, Wu Xiao came back and took back the land deed and the transaction documents printed by the Yamen, he handed them to Hongyu, who checked them and put them away

"Tell me quickly, how can you have so much money" Hongyu looked at him, she felt that Wu Xiao was a little strange today

"I'll take you somewhere" Wu Xiao pulled her out of the door, picked her up on horseback, and turned over herself, and then trotted all the way, in the afternoon, came to an old alley, only to see the stone row floor written "Lion Alley", the handwriting has been a little blurred.

There are no people here, it is very quiet, only occasionally an old man comes out of the alley, Wu Xiao got off the horse, pulled the red fish and walked in, and stopped in front of the seventh house, this is an old house, the stone lion in front of the door has been damaged, one is still crooked to the ground, the vermilion lacquer on the door is peeling off, and the words on the door are almost unrecognizable.

I could only vaguely see the words "Witch House" written on it, when Hongyu saw this, her whole body was stunned, she grabbed Wu Xiao's hand, but at this time she felt that Wu Xiao's whole body was stiff at this time, and her hands were very tight.

She had to hug him from behind, hoping that it would be better.After a while, Wu Xiao patted her, and her whole body relaxed.

The red fish stepped forward and pushed open the gate, and Wu Xiao pulled the horse in. The yard was full of dead grass and dead leaves, and the old locust tree had grown very tall, covering half of the yard.

"I'm going to see where Xiaoxiao lived before she was eight years old," Redfish said, and then he looked around.

"Which room did you sleep in when you were a child?" asked Hongyu, Wu Xiao pointed to the middle room on the left, and Hongyu walked over, and Wu Xiao followed her

The room is still the same as before, and the furniture is the same, but over time, some have decayed, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated, and there is a musty smell.

"Go out, there's nothing to see, I'll take you somewhere" Wu Xiao pulled the red fish out

They walked all the way to the backyard, where the backyard was against the south wall, there was a row of large rockeries, Wu Xiao stopped here, he bent down and lifted it twice on a mountain rock, the mountain stone was actually lifted, and a dark hole was revealed underneath.

Wu Xiao lit the fire fold, pulled the red fish and walked down, the hole was a downward step, but it was not long, it was very dry inside, there was no peculiar smell, after turning two corners, came to a stone room, Wu Xiao lit an oil lamp on the wall.

The stone room lit up immediately, and it was not a big place, and there was nothing to furnish it, just a stone bed and a room full of copper and wooden boxes.

The wooden box is still intact, and the wood is very good at a glance, and the red fish is a little surprised

"You still have such a secret basement in your house," she said

Wu Xiao opened a box casually, only to see that under the faint light of the oil lamp, the inside of the box was full of golden light, and there were rows of huge gold ingots neatly stacked, and the red fish opened his mouth wide in shock.

"One night, I heard a noise, ran over to look, and saw my father and a few people carrying these boxes into this cellar, and one person accidentally overturned a box, and I saw something falling out of it, I didn't know what it was at the time, but I only knew it when I remembered it," Wu Xiao said
