Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

According to Qi Qingxi's instructions, Liu Yong left the mansion early in the morning and went to the outer city.

Fortunately, the mansion arranged a carriage for him to travel, otherwise he didn't know how long he would have to walk to get out of the inner city.

After driving the carriage for an hour or two, when we arrived at an alley where the carriages could not enter, Liu Yong parked the carriage in front of a restaurant at the entrance of the alley, and handed a few copper coins to Xiao Er, who was standing in front of the door waiting for customers, to let him Help look after it.

Liu Yong turned around in several alleys again, and then he was about to reach the door of the inn where Wang Lang lived.

Speaking of which, Liu Yong introduced Wang Lang to live in this inn.

At that time Wang Lang asked him if there was any hidden place in the capital, Liu Yong immediately thought of this place.

This inn was discovered by Liu Yong by accident two years ago when he was wandering nearby when Shao Hua, who was still the young master, came to the capital.

Even if I didn't look carefully, I didn't know there was an inn hidden in such a deep alley.

Of course, it was also because it was hidden too deep, so the inn had no business and no guests, so the accommodation conditions were a bit poor.

But shopkeeper Wang Lang didn't seem to care about this, instead he praised the place he introduced as good, and gave him a reward of one tael of silver.

Liu Yong walked into the store, and immediately a woman came out from behind the counter and asked him: "Hey, is the guest officer a top-notch or staying in the store?"

This woman looked like the proprietress of this store, Liu Yong smiled and said: "I'm here to find my friend, the male guest who came in the day before New Year's Eve, I wonder if he is in the room now?"

Liu Yong explained Wang Lang's check-in time in such detail that the landlady didn't doubt it, and immediately said, "Yes, yes."

There were very few customers in her store, and in previous years, there would be no guests at all during Chinese New Year, so she was very impressed with that customer, and never left the room since the day she stayed in the store.

Even the three meals a day were delivered by her, and the guest only asked her to put it in front of the door, and did not open the door to let her in, which was very strange.

If it wasn't for the sake of his good money, she wouldn't be too lazy to serve him.

"The first room on the right hand side is the room where the guest lives." After finishing speaking, the proprietress added, "But this guest is very cautious, and won't open the door easily."

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Thank you, lady boss, for your suggestion." He strode towards the backyard.

This place is said to be an inn, but it is actually an ordinary residential house, but the area at the entrance has been changed into a small hall for hospitality, and after the hall, there are several bungalows in ordinary yards. .

According to the address given by the proprietress, Liu Yong knocked on the door of the first room on the right.

After knocking a few times and no one answered, Liu Yong said, "Shopkeeper Wang, it's me, Liu Yong."

Only then did the people inside "squeak" and open the door.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man who looked a bit vicissitudes, slender eyes were deep and sharp, short stubble grew on his chin, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of tiredness, as if he hadn't slept for several days and nights.

This person is Wang Lang.

Liu Yong was taken aback when he saw Wang Lang like this: "Shopkeeper Wang, but I haven't seen you for two days. Why do you look so haggard? Could it be that you haven't slept for two days?"

Wang Lang turned sideways to make way for an aisle, signaling Liu Yong to enter the door. After Liu Yong entered, Wang Lang looked around the door for a long time, and closed the door after confirming that there was nothing abnormal.

"Hey, don't mention it, it's just that I haven't slept for a few hours in two days." Wang Lang's voice was also slightly tired.

Liu Yong wondered, "Why don't you sleep?"

"I don't dare to sleep."

After saying this, Wang Lang suddenly remembered that Liu Yong still didn't know about his affairs, so he immediately changed the subject: "Why do you want to come to me today and wish me New Year's greetings?"

Liu Yong immediately cupped his hands and saluted Wang Lang: "Happy New Year to you, and one more thing by the way."

Wang Lang smiled lightly, thinking that he used to be full of guests and lively during Chinese New Year at home, but now he can only huddle in such a corner alone, not even daring to go out.

He took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket, and handed it to Liu Yong with a smile: "It's rare that you have such a heart, what do you want from me?"

Liu Yong didn't refuse, he took the broken silver and put it in his pocket: "It's not me looking for you, it's Miss Qi looking for you."

"Which Miss Qi? I don't know any girl in the capital." Wang Lang sat on the chair with a weak look, and said casually.

After saying this, he suddenly remembered that he came to Beijing this time to meet this Miss Qi.

When he went to Linzhou to complain to Shao Hua before, Shao Hua said after listening to what he said, if what Wang Lang said was true, he had a friend surnamed Qi who was related to Ning Guohou's family, maybe Can help Wang Lang.

Of course Wang Lang has the evidence. He spent almost ten years collecting the evidence with painstaking efforts, and he almost lost his life because of it.

Wang Lang and the Shao family have been in business for so many years. Shao Hua lived in his home every time he followed the caravan to the northwest. He and Shao Hua were more like brothers than brothers. He could not trust others but But he trusted Shao Hua very much.

Only then did he decide to take the risk and ran to the capital to find the girl Qi whom Shao Hua had mentioned.

Wang Lang wiped his face vigorously, then stretched out his hand and slapped it across the face: "No, I'm not sleeping well, I'm a little confused, I know this Miss Qi, she said she wants to see me?"

Liu Yong smiled: "Yes, Ms. Qi asked me to pick you up to the house. She said that she read the letter written by her boss and knew that you are a master of business. She wanted to learn from you how to do business well. .” These are Qi Qingxi’s original words.

I asked him to go to the mansion to ask how to learn how to do business?

I don't know if this Miss Qi acted cautiously and deliberately made such a deceptive excuse, or if she really didn't know his real reason for coming and really asked him to discuss how to do business.

Wang Lang only hesitated for a moment: "Wait for me, I will change my clothes and go with you."

He turned around and looked for clean clothes to change into.

"Treasurer Wang." Liu Yong called to stop him, paused, and said, "Miss Qi means to ask if you can move to live in her house."

Wang Lang was a little uncertain about this meeting.

He couldn't figure out what the girl surnamed Qi meant by asking him to live in the house, did she guess that he might be in danger and wanted to protect him?Or is it that someone in Miss Qi's family is also involved in Wang Minzhong's corruption and perverting the law, and wants to trick him into disposing of him?

Liu Yong on the side saw Wang Lang's concerns, and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, although I don't know what happened to you, but I can absolutely guarantee you one thing, you can absolutely trust Miss Qi's character. .”

After saying this, Liu Yong thought of his sister who died young, and his poor niece, and couldn't help the tears in his eyes.
