Deputy Dutou Zhao had obviously introduced Xiao Ziyang's extraordinary martial arts to the clerk, so his attitude was quite polite, and after inviting Xiao Ziyang to sit down, he asked: "I don't know if this hero's surname is great, and where the teacher comes from,"

"Don't dare, in Xia Wutai, martial arts are family traditions," Xiao Ziyang replied with his fists cupped.

The clerk was not vulgar when he heard Xiao Ziyang's words, and his heart was slightly relieved, "Listen to Zhao Kun, Wu Daxia's martial arts are strong, and I will feel at ease with Your Excellency's help, so I will order to go down and prepare a good guest room for Daxia, and send a subordinate to serve him; ”

"The red silk guest is very cunning, if he comes to make a mistake, he will definitely step on the plate first, so I would like to ask someone to send a small guy with quick legs and feet to take me around the vicinity of Wenfu, maybe I can find some clues in advance, and I can prepare in advance. ”

"Okay, it's still thoughtful Wu Daxia, come on!"

The "master" walked quickly into a family member from outside the door.

"Go, call Wen Jin,"

After a while, the housekeeper walked in with a young man with clear eyebrows, about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed as a subordinate.

The clerk pointed to the young man and said, "This little guy is the son of my Wen family, he is quite smart and clever, let him serve Wu Daxia," he turned his head to the young man and ordered: "Wen Jin, this Wu Daxia is a master I invited to guard against thieves, and in the future, you will follow Wu Daxia and serve his daily life; ”

The boy was busy hanging his head.

Xiao Ziyang looked carefully at the young man and found that his eyebrows were somewhat similar to the person he wanted to protect this time, the maid he had seen on the Heshun that day.

Xiao Ziyang said goodbye to the clerk and did not go to the guest room prepared for him, but asked Wen Jin to take him around the Wen Mansion.

The Wen family is worthy of being one of the most wealthy families in Shangyuan City, which can be seen just by looking at the scale of this mansion.

Wenfu covers an area of about 120 acres. A door is a wall, bypass the wall, a long more than ten zhang, about one zhang wide stone road, the end of the road is the main hall of the Wenfu, on both sides of the road is the exquisite garden, there are two rows of wings on both sides of the garden, Xiao Ziyang's guest room is here.

There is a short enclosure between the side of the main hall and the side rooms, and an arch opens on the wall. Passing through the archway, you will see a beautiful landscaped garden.

In the middle of the garden, there is a pond about seven or eight acres large, and there are seven or eight courtyards of different sizes distributed around the pond; the garden is full of green trees, and some pavilions and pavilions can be seen scattered in the green shade.

Xiao Ziyang asked Wen Jin about the owners of each courtyard, and at the same time carefully observed in the garden, he knew the topography of Wenfu by heart, and a plan slowly took shape in Xiao Ziyang's heart.

After looking at the topography of the inner courtyard, Xiao Ziyang asked Wen Jin to take him out of the Wen Mansion and walked around the courtyard wall of the Wen Mansion. Keep in mind the environment around Wenfu.

After that, Xiao Ziyang asked Wen Jin to take him to wander around the town.

"Wen Jin, I heard that your lord is a big official who sues the old man, and I don't know where he used to be an official. ”

Wen Jin said very proudly: "My lord was an envoy to Jiangzhou before he told the old man. ”

Xiao Ziyang was slightly surprised, according to the Xiliang official system, the highest level of the magistrate is the state pastor, which is the second grade, but the state pastor is actually a false title; These two are the real chiefs of a state.

"That's not it, I heard my sister say that the master was majestic when he was in Jiangzhou. Wen Jin said this with a yearning expression.

Xiao Ziyang smiled slightly, "I see Vice President Zhao and that... , what is the name of the person in charge of recruiting nursing homes in the city? ”

"Wudu head. ”

"Oh, I see that both of them are dressed in military attache clothes, and they are all called like military attachés, what is going on. ”

"That's because the imperial court sympathizes with our lord's hard work, so he gave a position of the head of the capital and two deputy heads, as well as a quota of 20 guards, as the lord's guards, these people can wear armor and carry crossbows; ”

"Oh, why don't you see these guards. ”

"They are led by Deputy Lin to take care of our Wen family's business outside, and as long as our Wen family's goods are escorted by these armor soldiers, it is guaranteed to be foolproof. ”

"Of course, these guards are no different from officers and soldiers, and attacking officers and soldiers is a great crime of rebellion. ”

Xiao Ziyang chatted with Wen Jinbian and strolled, and soon became familiar with this small town. He sent Wen Jin away, and slowly observed the town alone.

Shuangping Town is the distribution center of "Shangyuan Pearl", which is quite prosperous. There are many restaurants and tea shops in the town. Xiao Ziyang seems to be particularly interested in these places, and always lingers in these places, sometimes even having lunch in the restaurant.

In the next few days, Xiao Ziyang did this every day. Wen Jin complained about this, and reported to the clerk, although the clerk had doubts, but he still decided to endure it for a few more days.

The seventh day of Xiao Ziyang's visit to Shuangping Town. As usual, he came to Shuangpinglou, the best restaurant in town, early. This restaurant is located at the north entrance of Shuangping Town, leading to the official road crossing of Yuancheng in Lushang.

Xiao Ziyang still asked for a window position on the second floor, where he could just have a panoramic view of the official road leading to Yuancheng.

Xiao Ziyang was eating a bite of food while staring at everyone on the road who came from the direction of Shangyuan City.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly approached the town from a distance, and stopped straight in front of the double bungalow.

A man dressed as a businessman got out of the car, he paid for the car, turned around and walked into the restaurant with Xiao Er, who greeted him, and then he subconsciously raised his head and glanced at him.

On this white and chubby face, there are a pair of cloudy and yellowish eyes.

Xiao Ziyang's hand shook slightly, and he said in his heart, "It's here." He quickly walked into the box that had already been booked, and listened through the crack in the door. The merchant did not eat immediately, but asked for a room and asked for food and drinks to be brought into the room. Then he walked to the backyard under the leadership of Xiao Er.

Xiao Ziyang waited for him to go away, got the wine money, and quickly left Shuangpinglou.

He did not go back to Wenfu, but went to the second floor of a restaurant on the side of Wenfu and sat down by a window facing Wenfu.

If the red silk guest wants to observe the environment around the Wen Mansion, he will definitely pass by this downstairs, and on the other side of the wall of the Wen Mansion opposite this restaurant is the courtyard where the Wen family lady lives.

About an hour later, the white and chubby merchant came slowly, and from time to time he walked into a shop, as if to inquire about the price of goods. However, if one observes him closely, they will find that his eyes glance in the direction of the Wen Mansion from time to time.

Xiao Ziyang waited for the businessman to walk away, and left the restaurant in a hurry.
