An inn called "Yuebin Building" near Sanshan Street in Beijing, walked in a handsome and elegant young man, he was accompanied by a very spiritual scholar, the innkeeper saw the noble status of the guest, and greeted the young man very warmly.

"Welcome, welcome! This son is here to stay at the hotel, right? Below is Zhang Wengui, the shopkeeper of the inn, who welcomes the arrival of the distinguished guests, how about arranging a first-class room for you?" Zhang Wengui said politely.

"There is a shopkeeper, just do as you say, arrange a first-class room, however, this son has a requirement, this room must have a window is facing the street, when free, this son likes to look at the street scenery. The young man said.

"Okay, the first-class room, there is a large window facing the street, good scenery, in the next must be done according to the requirements of the son, if you are satisfied, there will be a large window facing the street view, you will live very comfortable!" Zhang Wengui said.

After booking a guest room, the young man and his scholar lived in the VIP room on the second floor, the guest room was very luxurious, three in a set, there was a living room at the entrance, the bedroom was on the left, and the place to rest and put things on the right was temporary.

The bedroom was occupied by the young man, the scholar lived in the temporary rest room, and the reception room was used to meet guests and discuss things.

After the arrangement was stopped, the young boy and the scholar sat down in the living room, the scholar made tea, and the two talked while sipping tea.

"White ...... Bai Gongzi, this room is so beautiful and gorgeous, I don't know how many times more luxurious than where we live, it is very comfortable to live in this VIP room, we have to spend a lot of money to live here, right?" said the scholar excitedly.

"If you have a VIP room to live in, you will live there, and in the future, you will see more that you have not seen, but. You see, we're not here to enjoy comfort, we're here to do things, and it's worth spending some money to get things done. You don't need to ask about the silver, anyway, the 'shopkeeper' in our house can get the silver, and you can enjoy it. Bai Gongzi said.

"It's good to follow Bai Gongzi out, you can see a lot of the world, and you can have a comfortable experience, Xiaobai is very happy. In the future, Xiaobai will only follow Bai Gongzi to do things, and Xiaobai will not care about the silver, anyway, 'He Shopkeeper' must be very willing to give you silver flowers, Xiaobai will follow you, just enjoy. What a good thing that is!" Xiaobai said.

"Enjoy is secondary, doing things well is the most important thing, this time my son personally went out, with you this elf, the family's 'He shopkeeper' has high hopes for us, we must not mess things up, otherwise, let's go back." There is no face to see 'what the shopkeeper', so we must work hard. Be cautious, understand?" said Bai Gongzi.

"Yes, if you obey Bai Gongzi, Xiaobai will definitely work hard and act cautiously!"

"Let's get to work after lunch, and you follow the address written on it to contact the four of you. They are the informants sent by the 'shopkeeper He' to lurk, and you find them separately. Let them come to the 'Yuebin Building' to meet Ben Gongzi, and Ben Gongzi must learn something from them!" Bai Gongzi said.

"Yes. Xiao Bai will go to do it immediately after lunch, and he will definitely inform them, but when do you want them to come to 'Yuebin Building'?" asked Xiao Bai.

"If you contact them, let them come, each of them come over every other hour, this time contact these four people first, let's meet them one by one in four to five hours, talk to them, and my son can understand some information. Bai Gongzi said.

"Understood, please rest assured that Bai Gongzi will definitely get things done, after lunch, you will wait in this VIP room, unless you can't contact them, otherwise, Xiao Bai will definitely let them come over one by one, and will never mistake Bai Gongzi's affairs." Xiaobai said.

"Okay, it's settled, now take a break, let's drink tea, Xiao Er will bring lunch over in a while, you can taste the food of this 'Yuebin Building' and see if it is better than the one at home?"

"This VIP room is so luxurious, the food sent by Xiao Er must be very good, anyway, Xiao Bai has never eaten in this kind of place before, this time taste fresh, this is very good, Xiao Bai likes it very much. Xiaobai said.

Half an hour later, Xiao Er brought the meal, Xiao Bai saw that there were four dishes and one soup on the table, which were very exquisite, and Xiao Bai accompanied Bai Gongzi to eat, and he felt very happy.

After eating, Xiaobai immediately acted, he walked out of the "Yuebin Building" and contacted the informant.

More than an hour later, a young woman walked into the "Yuebin Building", when she walked up to the second floor and entered the VIP room, she was very surprised to see Bai Gongzi's outfit, she didn't expect Bai Gongzi to wear such clothes, she was about to say something, but Bai Gongzi stopped her.

"You can just call me Bai Gongzi, are you Romanju?" asked Bai Gongzi.

"Say hello to Bai Gongzi in Xia Romanju, it's good to see Bai Gongzi in this inn, I don't know if Bai Gongzi is summoned, what are your orders?"

Luo Manju wanted to kneel and bow, Bai Gongzi hurriedly stopped her, she said: "This is an inn, no need to be formal, this son came out this time, his identity is confidential, and he just wants to learn something about you, please sit down and talk!"

"Obey, just now, Xiaobai contacted the upper and lower levels, and asked the lower to come to you immediately, and the lower hurried over, it was great to be able to meet you here, what do you want to know, just ask!"

"Roman Ju, you have been lurking in the Shangjia Society for a few years, you have done a good job, and sent a lot of valuable news to the 'hometown', the 'He shopkeeper' at home is more satisfied with your table, this time this son came to you, not to give you instructions, but to learn from you about some new situations recently, you have been lurking in the Shangjia Society for a long time, and you should know more about all aspects of the news in the capital, this time this time I came to focus on understanding the new dynamics of martial arts, I hope you can provide more valuable news. Bai Gongzi said.

"Do your best in the next place, what does Bai Gongzi want to know, just ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know. Romanju said.

"Come, drink tea, let's talk about it while tasting tea, this is the Biluochun that Xiaobai made just now, you taste it, it's a good tea!" Bai Gongzi poured a cup of tea for Romanju.

Roman Ju was flattered and hurriedly stood up and thanked him repeatedly. She picked up her teacup, took a sip of her tea, and sat down happily.

"Tell me, what have the shopkeepers in the Shangjia Club been busy with recently, is there any important or interesting news?" asked Bai Gongzi.

"The shopkeepers are busy with their own business. Some are busy with the cloth business, some are busy with the dock business, some are busy with the tea business, some are busy with the wine shop business, some run the gambling house, and some take care of the silk. Some open rice shops to buy and sell rice, some sell ceramics, some buy and sell calligraphy and paintings, some do cultural relics business, and so on. Every man has his own livelihood, and they all try to think of ways to earn more money. However, in addition to doing their own business, most of the shopkeepers are also doing two things: one is to increase their close association with the people of the government, trying to get the protection of the officials, or relying on the officials to get them business, of course, in return. They gave officials silver, pearls, treasures, and so on; second, they had close contacts with people in the martial arts, and some of them were very close to the people in the martial arts. In order to have social fun, and more people want to have close contact with the people in the martial arts in order to seek protection, these shopkeepers have a lot of wealth in the house, and in times of danger, they hope that their friends in the martial arts can protect them. In a word. The shopkeepers in the business world have very close contacts with the government, and there are also those who have a close relationship with the people in the martial arts. Businessmen need someone to help them. When Luo Manju talked about the topic of the shopkeepers, he was like a river.

"Romanchrysanthemum. You are very powerful, nested in the merchant society, very familiar with the situation of the shopkeepers, talking about the shopkeepers from all walks of life, to put it bluntly, this son did not realize before, you are such a young and beautiful girl, but you speak like a big shopkeeper, very good, what you said is important news. Bai Gongzi said.

"Thank you Bai Gongzi for your compliment, I often deal with shopkeepers from all walks of life, and naturally I know a little about them, which is not 'amazing', I can let Bai Gongzi know useful news, and I am the happiest in the next. Romanju said.

Bai Gongzi thought for a while, and he asked Luo Manju: "In the business community, in addition to talking about business, do they also talk about things in the martial arts? Are they interested in things in the martial arts?"

"The shopkeepers talk about all kinds of business the most, and most of the topics revolve around earning silver, of course, they sometimes talk about some recent official activities, but they don't talk much about things in the martial arts, not because they are not interested in the affairs of the martial arts, but because of their respective interactions with the people in the martial arts, they are not very willing to tell other treasurers about their interactions with the martial arts. Romanju said.

"Isn't there an interesting topic about martial arts? Merchants are the most well-informed, and they should know about important things in martial arts. Bai Gongzi said.

Luo Manju pondered for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said happily: "Two months ago, there was a strange topic that was talked about several times in the conversation of the shopkeepers, and this topic also made some shopkeepers feel very interested. ”

"What exactly is the topic, is it related to people in the martial arts?" asked Bai Gongzi.

"It's not about people in the martial arts, but about a legend in the martial arts, it is said that the Xie family, the wang family in the capital, the ancestors handed down a martial arts cheats, which records a very powerful martial arts, and many people in the martial arts want to get this cheats, but this cheats belong to the treasures handed down by the ancestors of the Xie family, of course, others are not allowed to rob them. Romanju was a little thirsty, so she paused her speech and took her teacup to drink.

"You go on, how is the cheats?" asked Bai Gongzi.

"Xie is now in charge of the name Xie Jingxi, is a provincial inspector, three officials, rumors in the rivers and lakes, Xie Jingxi is the legal heir of the Xie Mansion secrets, and it is said that he knows that there are Xie Mansion secrets hidden in a certain Xie family's property, Xie Jingxi is still in Quanzhou, there are all kinds of mysterious people sneaking into the Xie Mansion to explore the secrets, because there are frequent intruders, Xie Jingxi was so troubled that he could not continue to live in the Quanzhou Mansion, later, he went to the capital, lived in the Xie family's world friend Wang Liyan's mansion, I heard that not long ago the palace was not peaceful, there were uninvited guests'Patronize'. When the shopkeepers talked about the secret book of Xie Fu, they all felt that this legend was very mysterious, some thought it was not credible, and some thought that it was not a legend, but a true thing. There is a shopkeeper surnamed Hong who is engaged in the cultural relics business and said: "The secret book of Xie Mansion is definitely not a legend, it is true, when the secret book of Xie Mansion was passed on to Xie Jingxi's father's generation, it had something to do with a certain temple, and now some important sects on the rivers and lakes have sent capable people to investigate the secret book of Xie Mansion and want to snatch the secret book, this secret book of Xie Mansion is a top treasure, and it is worth a lot of money!"

"Is there really such a mysterious treasure? The people in the martial arts must be very interested in this Xie Fu cheats, what they want is the martial arts in the cheats, and the business shopkeepers are different in the martial arts, they value the commercial value of the Xie Mansion cheats, in their eyes, the Xie Mansion cheats are priceless treasures, so the merchants talk about the Xie Mansion cheats in the hope of getting this very valuable treasure. Bai Gongzi said. (To be continued)
