"Uh~ Sorry, we don't..."
"Huh? From the shopkeeper."
The boy didn't finish his sentence when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder by the shopkeeper.
"You go to greet other guests."
After the shopkeeper sent the boy away, he looked Ling Xiao up and down.
"I don't know what kind of emerald the guest officer wants!"
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Ling Xiao's heart moved, knowing that he had found the right person.
"Imperial Green!"
Ling Xiao spit out these three words slowly.
The shopkeeper's complexion changed slightly, and he stepped aside.
"Can this guest officer take a step to speak?"
Ling Xiao nodded, and followed the shopkeeper into the back room, while Yang Zhi stood outside the room with his sword in his hands, preventing anyone from approaching.
The shopkeeper looked at him and didn't speak, but lifted the curtain and signaled Ling Xiao to come in.
I have also been a shopkeeper in Luoyang for more than ten years, and I have met all kinds of people, so I still have some insight.
Although the person holding the knife didn't have a trace of aura exposing his body, he looked no different from an ordinary person at first glance, but how could he hide it from his own eyes.
Eyes can't deceive people. The indifference and calmness in that person's eyes seems to be indifferent to everything around him. However, this kind of person is the most terrifying. He once felt two kinds of breaths in a priest of the master's house. Withdrew together.
Obviously, with this kind of person as a guard, the identity of the young man next to him is not easy.
Moreover, this young man is also suspected to be connected with the main family, so he cannot be neglected.
"I don't know why your lord came to Luoyang this time?"
After figuring this out, the shopkeeper's tone suddenly became more respectful.
Ling Xiao frowned, "Aren't you the head of the Taiyuan Wang family in Luoyang?"
Ling Xiao didn't know who the person in charge of the Wang family in Luoyang was. The city lord just told Ling Xiao to go to a place called Yuruizhai when he arrived in Luoyang, and just say what he said before.
Ling Xiao originally thought that the shopkeeper was the person in charge, but now it seems that he was wrong.
As Luoyang is the capital of the great Han Dynasty, whoever can be the principal here will not have a low status in the Wang family, let alone be so respectful to a person of unknown origin like himself.
"Ah? Isn't your lord from the Lord's family?"
The shopkeeper also froze for a moment, then seemed to think of something.
"That young master must have been entrusted by someone."
This young man knew the stronghold of the Wang family in Luoyang and the secret code, but he didn't know the person in charge of the Wang family in Luoyang, who was obviously not a member of the Wang family.
Then, this information must have been told to him by someone from the Wang family, and this person's status in the Wang family is not low, otherwise he would not dare to easily tell outsiders such confidential matters.
And this was the only explanation he could think of.
"That's right, I was indeed entrusted by someone to find the head of the Wang family in Luoyang."
Ling Xiao didn't hide anything, and admitted it directly.
"Can you tell me who entrusted you?"
"The Lord of Yanmen Pass!"
"Do you have proof?"
"There is a letter from the city lord to the person in charge of Luoyang, do you want to read it?"
Ling Xiao took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"Don't dare, son, please follow me."
The shopkeeper didn't go to accept the letter. As an old man of the Wang family, he could tell at a glance whether the letter was from the Wang family, and he didn't need to check it at all.
What's more, this is a letter addressed to that person, and he wouldn't dare to read it even if he had ten guts.
As the shopkeeper said, he prepared to take Ling Xiao to the shop further inside.
Ling Xiao didn't move, just coughed towards the door, and waited for Yang Zhi to come in, then Ling Xiao walked back together with the shopkeeper.
It's not that Ling Xiao is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, the so-called guarding against others is indispensable. After all, this is someone else's territory, so it's better to be cautious.
The shopkeeper didn't go all the way inside, and opened a side door. After Ling Xiao entered, he found that he had already left the shop. The place where Ling Xiao was standing at this time was an empty alley.
"It seems that the person in charge is not in Yuruizhai."
Ling Xiao secretly thought in his heart, but he didn't ask anything, just quietly followed behind the shopkeeper.
The three walked around in the alley for about two hours. When Ling Xiao couldn't help but want to ask, the shopkeeper stopped suddenly.
In front of him is a big red courtyard wall as high as ten feet, and there is a layer of colorful glazed tiles on the courtyard wall. One can tell at a glance that the owner of the courtyard is either rich or noble.
The shopkeeper took Ling Xiao to a small corner of the courtyard wall, where there was a small door two meters high.
The shopkeeper stepped forward and knocked lightly three times, waited for ten breaths, and knocked three more times. After a while, the door opened. The person who opened the door was an old man who was very well dressed. He should be a housekeeper or something.
"Why is shopkeeper Jin here today?"
The butler seemed a little surprised by the shopkeeper's arrival.
"Uncle Ping, someone from Taiyuan has a letter to hand over to the master."
"Okay, come in and talk."
The old man first looked at Ling Xiao, and then turned his gaze to Yang Zhi who was behind Ling Xiao, a bright light flashed across his cloudy eyes.
"Where is the letter?"
When the three of Ling Xiao entered the yard, the old man suddenly said to Ling Xiao.
Without the introduction from shopkeeper Jin, the old man could tell at a glance that Ling Xiao was the one who delivered the letter.
"This is the letter."
Ling Xiao took out the envelope and handed it to the old man for a look.
The old man subconsciously reached out to take the letter, but Ling Xiao took the letter back abruptly.
"I'm sorry, but the owner of the letter has an explanation, so he must hand over the letter to the person in charge in Luoyang."
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
The butler's expression remained unchanged, he withdrew his hand without comprehension, and smiled.
"Haha, I'm so old and rude. But the master has not returned to the mansion, and the young master still needs to rest in the mansion."
"That's annoying."
Ling Xiao cupped his hands and said.
"Young Master, Uncle Ping, I have to go back to the shop, so I left first."
"Well, shopkeeper Jin, please go ahead, I won't give it away."
"Then I would like to thank Shopkeeper Jin for leading the way."
After the shopkeeper Jin left, the housekeeper brought Ling Xiao and the two of them to a side hall.
"Mr. Lao is waiting here. There are still some matters to be dealt with in the mansion. I will not accompany you any more. If you have any requirements, you can tell the servants. When the master returns to the mansion, I will come to inform you."
"It's time for the housekeeper, don't worry about me, you are busy with your work."
Watching the butler leave, Ling Xiao got up and walked around the hall, taking a general look at the layout and furnishings of the hall.
I have some guesses about the owner of the mansion in my heart, and everything will be revealed when I meet the mysterious person in charge.
At three poles in the sun, a carriage suddenly came to the gate of the mansion, and the carriage gradually stopped. A middle-aged scholar opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.
This person is wearing a red official uniform, and looking at the accessories on it, it is obvious that his official position is not low.
When the butler saw the middle-aged scribe, he hurried up to greet him.
"Master, someone is here."
The butler whispered beside the middle-aged man for a moment.
"Oh? After I change my clothes, you take them to the main hall first."
"Yes!"
"My lord, my master has already returned to the mansion, please follow me to the main hall, lord."
"Okay, please lead the way."
Ling Xiao put down the teacup in his hand, got up and followed behind the butler.
We are finally going to meet, are you the one?
Chapter 83
When Ling Xiao came to the main hall, there was already a middle-aged scribe in ordinary clothes sitting in the hall.
"Sir, the guests have arrived."
"You go down first."
The middle-aged scribe nodded, and when the housekeeper stepped back, he got up and walked towards Ling Xiao.
At this time, there were only Ling Xiao and the middle-aged scholar in the hall, and Yang Zhi and the housekeeper withdrew together.
"I've seen Master Situ!"
When Ling Xiao saw this middle-aged scribe, he confirmed his identity.
It's not because of the use of probing skills, but the player in front of him is considered a celebrity among the players in his previous life, and Ling Xiao has naturally seen it before.
Although this person is still middle-aged at this time, not as old as when he appeared in the previous life, Ling Xiao still recognized him at a glance.
Unexpectedly, the well-known Situ Wangyun in the previous life was actually the head of the Taiyuan Wang family in Luoyang.
This made Ling Xiao have to re-examine the background of the Taiyuan Wang family, even the big man Situ is a member of the Taiyuan Wang family.
What level of official is Situ?
That's one of the three princes, the first rank of the official residence!
As for the so-called Sangong, they are Taiwei, Sikong, and Situ, and they have heavy responsibilities.
Situ: It was set up in the Western Zhou Dynasty and was in charge of education in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is one of the three princes.
Sikong: It was established in the Western Zhou Dynasty and was in charge of water, soil and construction projects in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is one of the three gongs.
Taiwei: Tongda Sima, the highest official in charge of the military in the imperial court, one of the three princes.
Why was the Yuan family known as the first family in the Eastern Han Dynasty?
In addition to the fact that the Yuan family has a thousand-year history, the most important thing is that it has the title of "Four Generations and Three Dukes".
The so-called "four generations and three princes" means that in the fourth generation of the Yuan family, there are people in the family who are among the three princes. What kind of abuse is this.
Now the Wang family actually has a figure of the third rank, and it seems that this Lord Situ has a very close relationship with the Taiyuan Wang family, and he might be the current head of the Wang family.
"I heard that the little brother has a letter to hand over to me, can you show it to me now?"
For some reason, looking at this smiling Master Situ, Ling Xiao always felt that Wang Yun had seen through his identity.
Ever since he knew that Situ was a member of the Wang family, Ling Xiao didn't dare to underestimate the power of the Wang family. Perhaps during the waiting period before, his identity and background had been thoroughly investigated by the housekeeper.
There may be some things that the city lord can't find out, but it doesn't mean that the current court Situ can't find out either.
The energies possessed by the two are not at the same level at all. There is no doubt that in terms of status in the family, this Situ is definitely far higher than that city lord.
"My lord, here is the letter."
Although Ling Xiao was thinking about something in his heart, his hands didn't stop moving, and he took out the letter and handed it to Wang Yun.
Wang Yun opened the letter, looked at it for a moment and put it on the table aside, then turned around and returned to the main seat to sit down.
"Please sit down, I don't know what to call the little brother?"
Ling Xiao randomly found a seat and sat down, but he was thinking about how to answer.
