The shopkeeper suddenly realized, "No wonder, these masters look like ordinary people. Yesterday they asked Doctor Ding to treat the disease, and they took a string of Dongzhu. You didn't see it. The string of beads is worth at least 100,000 taels!"

"100,000 taels?" Zhang Laosan also took a deep breath. The Qing magistrate only had 100,000 snowflakes in the past three years. These foreigners took action and were the extra money for the prefect for three years. How generous is this?

The shopkeeper went up to report, and Lei Meng learned that the government had sent someone to greet him, and went downstairs to greet him in person. Both sides greeted him. Zhang Laosan was in a professional habit and looked at Lei Meng carefully. Seeing that this person was eight feet tall and had a beard around his eyes, he was the rebirth of Zhang Fei and Li Kui. It looked very similar to his corps, but he was definitely not the kind of Green Camp soldiers who were busy and waiting to die. At least they were elite soldiers like the Xishan Jianrui Camp in the capital.

Zhang Laosan handed the invitation, and Lei Meng took out a silver dollar and handed it over: "I'm sorry, this man."

When Lei Meng went upstairs, Zhang Laosan held the silver dollar in his hand, his face darkened for a long time, and suddenly asked the shopkeeper: "How much luggage do they bring? Do you have any cars or horses?"

The shopkeeper said: "There are only two boxes, no carriages and horses."

"Look at me a little bit." Zhang Laosan put the silver dollar in his arms, "What a problem, take your head carefully."

"Oh." The shopkeeper lowered his back and sent Mr. Zhang respectfully out. Nowadays, Mr. Zhang is afraid that his family of officials and bandits have attracted attention from other people's wealth.

This is the shopkeeper's caution. Zhang Laosan is from Hunan and a fellow villager of Prefect Lin. He was almost beheaded when he committed an incident in his early years. He was rescued by Lin Huaiyuan, who was still the censor at the time. Later, he was taken by his side as a service. The yamen was divided into three and six rooms. The three were soap classes, the yamen, the yamen, the yamen, and the fast class. The former was responsible for the logistics guards of the yamen, and the latter was responsible for the station hall and arrest. Zhang San was the head of the soap class, specializing in the safety of Lord Lin's entry and exit, and was close to the bodyguard. He was one of the adults' confidants. His fate was closely linked to the adults, so he was afraid that people from unknown origin would be unfavorable to his master, so he asked the shopkeeper to monitor more and there was no intention of killing, robbing and extorting.

When the government office signed the house, Lin Huaiyuan frowned slightly after hearing Zhang San's report. These people are very famous. The so-called Nanyang merchants are probably just excuses to cover up their goals.

"Sir, is there anything wrong with the job done by the humble official?" Zhang San asked.

"You've done it well, go down." Lin Huaiyuan nodded, "Go and call the master."

The officials would bring a master who did not occupy the position to help him out for advice, and Lin Huaiyuan was no exception. The master he hired was from Shaoxing, with his surname as Zhou, who was in his fifties and had a good reading of poetry and books, but he had no fame and fortune, and all his ambitions were placed on his master. Lin Huaiyuan would discuss anything when encountering Lin Huaiyuan. He could be called the think tank of the Ori River Mansion and Lin Huaiyuan's deputy.

Master Zhou said that this matter was easy to deal with. He invited them on behalf of Lord Lin. During the meal, the truth came out.

"No matter what kind of tricks, I can't hide my fiery eyes." Master Zhou gently waved the folding fan, and his goatee was sticking out on his chest, and his chin was tilted out.

...

In the morning, Lei Meng took silver to the mule and horse market to buy large animals. Antai Consortium has its own horse farm. Instructor Lei is very knowledgeable about horses. He usually rides imported British thoroughbred horse racing horses, Arab horses, tall and majestic horses, and carefully managed them. He has never seen such a bad horse as Ome Prefecture Mule and Horse Market.

Even the number of bad horses is limited. The mule and horse market mainly includes large animals such as cattle, mules, and donkeys that can farm and pull carts. There are few horses that can transport. Some are also short Dian horses, Mongolian horses, and Lei Meng, and big men with physiques ride on them. It is so funny and funny.

The price of large animals is not expensive. It ranges from ten to dozens of taels depending on the annual price, but Lei Meng didn't even take a look at it and returned in disappointment.

He didn't notice that there was someone behind him quietly staring at him, seeing all his actions.

At noon, I still had a vegetarian dish called in Tianxiangju and ate on the second floor of the inn. The waiter was serving the four old men, pouring wine for them and listening to their chat.

Lei Meng said that he had not bought a suitable horse and could not go to Beijing. Liu Yanzhi said that he didn't need to ride a horse. He could take a boat from Omi to Shanghai, then take a foreign steamer from Shanghai to Tianjin, and take a train from Tianjin Wei to Beijing.

What they said was orderly and the waiter listened to was full of mist. He didn't understand what those nouns meant at all. He kept it in mind. After the service man finished his meal, he reported to the shopkeeper in a singular way.

The shopkeeper thought about the conversation and prepared to report to Mr. Zhang San tonight.

In the evening, it was time to go to the prefect's banquet, but no one took care of Zhou Jiarui when all four of them went. They solved the problem by drawing lots. Zhang Wenbo stayed to take care of him, and the rest of the banquet were at the price that Zhang Wenbo could go out alone to drink flower wine at night.

The Yuejiang Tower in the 26th year of the Guangxu period and the Yuejiang Tower in 2017 are two completely different buildings. The former collapsed in the 1920s due to disrepair. In the 1930s, the warlord Chen Zikun invested in rebuilding it. In the 1960s, it was demolished by the Red Guards as four olds. It was rebuilt again in the early 1980s. They climbed the original Linjiang Restaurant built with brick and wood in the Qing Dynasty. The four fields are wide and the river view is full of view. It is actually the first choice for literati and scholars to drink and write fu.

The magistrate was respectful and it was not convenient for him to come forward in person, so he arranged for Master Zhou, Butler Lin, and Zhang Bantou of the Zaoban to accompany the guests. There were also Zhao Yuchen, a stud from the capital, who came to the capital, and the host and the servants took tea, served dried fruit and refreshments, and chatted first.

Master Zhou's eyes were poisonous, so he stared at the clothes of these masters first. It didn't matter if he saw it, and he was shocked.

The Qing Dynasty clothing of the time travel group was made in special versions, using excellent Su embroidery materials. In the eyes of Master Zhou, this is a special tribute for the imperial palace. Look at the jade hat on the Lei Menggua leather hat, with a very strong head and a pleasant green man. Master Zhou has limited knowledge, so he naturally doesn't understand that this thing is plastic.

In a short while, the wine and dishes were served, eight were cold and eight were hot. The wine was made of local nectar. On behalf of the prefect, Master Zhou expressed his gratitude to Zhao Yuchen and Liu Yanzhi, and picked up the wine glass to toast. After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. Under Master Zhou's suggestion, Zhang Bantou began to persuade him to drink.

Zhang Bantou had to drink a pound of wine every day. Lei Meng was born as a soldier. The most popular thing when he was in the army was to fight for wine. The two of them fell in love with each other when they saw it, and a jar of white wine was completely drunk in an instant.

Master Zhou saw that the fire was coming, and he started to talk.

He first asked the guests where they came from. According to the booked script, Lei Meng replied that he was from Nanyang Java. He was a businessman selling spices and jewelry. He returned to China this time to look for business opportunities. Unfortunately, the master had an accident on the way...

"I heard your accent, it seems that people in the capital have traveled thousands of miles to Nanyang to do business?" Master Zhou asked.

Lei Meng said nonsensely: "I am from Beijing. When I was young, I was traveling around and it was normal that I did not change my local accent."

Zhang Bantou took advantage of the alcohol and said, "My man is from the capital, have you ever entered the Forbidden City?"

Lei Meng laughed: "I often go there. When I was a child, I went to play with my parents. When I grew up, I went to play by myself and took my friends to play. I don't remember how many times I have been there."

Master Zhou was shocked in his heart. The Forbidden City was a large palace, and it was not a place where ordinary people could go. It was very cautious. Even the royal relatives had to go in. This person was either bragging or had other hidden stories.

"What is the Golden Palace where the emperor went to court?" Zhang Bantuo didn't know if it was really drunk or fake, so he continued to ask with his eyes slanted.

"That is not the place where the emperor goes to court, nor is it called the Golden Palace, it is called the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It is the place where the royal family holds ceremonies. Usually the emperor goes to court at the Ganqing Gate and calls the Imperial Gate to listen to the government. Or in the Ganqing Palace, Yangxin Hall summons the ministers. There are two rows of small houses outside the Ganqing Gate. That is the Military Affairs Office..." Lei Meng introduced proudly. He did visit the Forbidden City often and was almost able to catch up with a professional tour guide.

Zhang Bantou heard the truth and didn't know whether it was true or not. Master Zhou was already shocked and his legs were trembling. He knew so well about the palace, what exactly did these people come from!

Liu Yan directly touched Lei Meng with his foot and signaled him not to be careless.

This detail was seen by Master Zhou, which made him even more confused.

Lei Meng was reminded by Liu Yanzhi that he no longer brags and shows off, and honestly plays the role of a Nanyang merchant. With the broad vision and insight of the 21st century people, he fooled these people from more than a hundred years ago without any effort. He could quickly rob 600 bullets in one minute, an iron-shelled ship that could walk under the sea and an iron plane that could enter the sky, which made everyone stunned.

Zhao Yuchen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Brother Liu, how can you ask where your teacher is?"

Liu Yanzhi smiled and said, "There is nothing more than self-taught talent. Only by using fast skills in the world. Only by being quick and fast can you not break the martial arts of the world."

Zhao Yuchen muttered these words and said, "Can Brother Liu borrow his weapons from the next view?"

Liu Yanzhi took off the sword from his waist and presented it with both hands. Zhao Yuchen took it and first admired the knife suit, shark leather sheath, pure copper knife suit, with exquisite shape. There was a red silk thread wrapped around the handle of the knife. Press the spring and slowly pulled out a piece of blade. The swallowing mouth was in the shape of a dragon mouth, and the blade body was bright and narrow.

Zhao Yuchen left the seat, pulled out the long knife, patted the right hand holding the knife with his left hand, and the blade vibrated slightly, making a buzzing sound. The blade was made of a new ancient steel method. The blade was extremely elastic, extremely sharp and could be broken by blowing hair.

"Good sword!" Zhao Yuchen praised him. He was a martial arts fanatic and especially liked to collect magical weapons and weapons. He had seen such swords before. In his early years, Emperor Qianlong spent a lot of money to build ten swords. In addition to the swords being equipped with some gold, silver and gems, as far as the weapon itself is concerned, it is at this level.

After the banquet, the drunken guests went back to the inn to rest. Master Zhou asked Zhao Yuchen: "Mr. Zhao, according to you, what are the origins of these people?"

Zhao Yuchen shook his head: "It's hard to say, but the knife may have been supervised by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

After everyone left the Tianzi private room, a screen was moved away. Lin Huaiyuan was dressed in casual clothes, and there were wine and food on the small round table, which had been pouring and drinking by himself for a long time.

"Sir, look..." Master Zhou said.

"The capital's accent is neither humble nor arrogant, possesses unique skills and carries a lot of money. He should be the children of nobles of the royal family." Lin Huaiyuan said. Just now, he saw those people through the gap in the screen, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, but they are not the kind of playboy who is ignorant and ignorant, and they are full of heroic eyebrows, and they should be people in the ranks.

The children of the royal family and the people in the army are familiar with the terrain of the Great Inner Palace. Even the location of the Imperial Gate and Military Affairs Office knows that there are so many officials in the Qing Dynasty, not everyone has entered the Forbidden City. Lin Huaiyuan lived so big, just say that he went there once more than ten years ago. These guys are so familiar with the palace. Based on the above conclusions, the truth is about to emerge.

The bearded guest should be at the level of the imperial guard. The young man named Liu was at least a guard of the Qing Sect. The remaining one with the surname Guo was also a guard of the blue feather.

So what kind of person are the "master" brought by these big guards? Lin Huaiyuan dared not think about it anymore.
