Xiushui Fang is a famous Fuguifang in Xunyang City.

There are many high-end mansions. Because it is adjacent to the foot of Kuanglu Mountain, each house is covered with green plants and the environment is quiet.

The figures who come in and out of this square are either rich or noble, or they are wearing gold and silver.

Not to mention that the Xunyang Prince's Mansion, which was re-established two years ago, is also located in this square. Its status is aloof, which further enhances the style of Xiushui Square.

It is estimated that only Xunyangfang, which is located in the Jiangzhou government office and is full of official residences at all levels, can be slightly comparable.

Except for one busy street leading to the West Market, Xiushui Fang has towering walls on both sides, blocking the sight of pedestrians.

People passing by can't see clearly what's behind the high walls.

Occasionally, the laughter of girls playing on the swings comes from inside the high wall, which will arouse the endless reverie of passers-by...

This is not Wang Caozhi’s first visit to Xiushui Fang.

Last time I accompanied Xie Xun and Xie Xue'e to attend the Lantern Festival dinner at Prince Xunyang's Mansion.

In addition, the Langya Wang family also has several luxury properties in Xiushuifang for their children to stay. In addition, the Langya Wang family also has three children on both sides serving as officials in Xunyang City, although the official rank is not high.

"What's going on? Send your boy out to keep an eye on me. Why are you calling me here? I'm not just hanging out in the city. My brother-in-law is having a meeting at the Governor's Mansion today. I'm busy and don't have time to delay."

Wang Caozhi walked into a restaurant on a busy street in Xiushuifang, ignored the old shopkeeper who greeted him enthusiastically, and walked to the third floor under the respectful guidance of an astute boy.

Today he changed into a solemn black brocade suit. He lowered his head to adjust his cuffs and muttered.

The alert young man who led the way upstairs looked a little hesitant and turned around and said:

"I'm sorry, sir, but we are not sure about this matter this time. I don't know whether we should send someone to follow up. You have to come and take a look..."

"Shen Shen Na Nao."

Wang Caozhi shook his head, turned his head first, and told the two cronies following behind him:

"You two go to the carriage and bring the gifts over first. You are already here. The palace is on the next street. We will send it directly there later. The gifts are for sister Xie and brother-in-law, but we must share the brother-in-law's share.

I have to send my thanks to my sister first, hey."

Turning back, suppressing his smile, he continued the topic:

"Okay, lead the way. I want to see the Xunyang City under the rule of my brother-in-law. Apart from the palace, is there anything else that we can't check? Is it possible that it is a relative of the emperor..."

Wang Caozhi curled his lips, climbed to the third floor, straightened his cuffs, put his hands behind his back, and walked into a private room facing the street with an open door and a great view.

Wang Caozhi glanced at the lively street scene outside.

Apart from the busy flow of people, there is only a high red wall across the street, which belongs to the residential area of ​​​​Xiushuifang.

"What's so special?"

He looked strange and turned around to ask.

"Sir, on the other side... take a closer look, that thin-faced man has entered this house."

"Opposite? Whose house is that with the red wall opposite..."

The sun above his head was bright and dazzling. Wang Caozhi stood by the window. While mumbling, he raised his palms to cover his eyebrows and looked at the high red wall opposite.

His eyes followed it all the way, and he saw an inconspicuous back door diagonally in front of the restaurant. From the perspective of the private room on the third floor of the restaurant, people could clearly see the entrance and exit of this door. But at this moment, this door

The back door between the red walls is closed.

The opposite side should be a residential area. I don't know which high-end family it belongs to. Anyway, those who can be located in a convenient location facing the street are all powerful families.

Except that the red wall was more conspicuous, Wang Caozhi looked at it for a while, feeling a little confused, and asked directly:

"Which family is this? The houses in Xiu Shuifang all have white walls. It is rare to see them painted so red. Usually only temples have red walls. Does the owner of this house believe in Buddhism or is he a monk?"

Under his gaze back, the astute boy scratched his head:

"Not only is it rare, but this family is actually a believer in Buddhism..."

The alert boy's words suddenly got stuck.

Wang Caozhi noticed that the boy turned his head and looked behind him, and his eyes were caught by the scenery downstairs outside the window.

"It's hard to say anything, what are you looking at..."

Wang Caozhi by the window frowned, straightened up, and followed the alert boy's eyes and looked down casually.

I saw that the back door between the red walls was open. Someone was not coming out, but someone was going in.

A carriage drove out of the crowd on the street. It turned off the main street and drove into the back door of the red-walled mansion.

Wang Caozhi paused.

Because he knew this carriage and had seen it many times at Xunyang Grottoes.

The alert young man saw this and said cautiously: "Master?"

Wang Caozhi interrupted: "Shut up."

His eyes fell unblinkingly on the carriage slowly driving through the door.

Through the curtain of the carriage, Wang Caozhi could faintly see the silhouette of a familiar noble young girl.

There is also a coachman with a Chinese character who is driving a carriage outside. He has a white cloth wrapped around his forehead, as if he is bereaved.

It's Princess Anhui and her carriage.

Wei Anhui's carriage drove into the back door between the red walls, and the door closed heavily.

Except for Wang Caozhi and others upstairs, no one paid much attention to this scene.

Wang Caozhi suddenly turned his head and asked the quiet and alert boy:

"Are you sure that sneaky tall lanky man is hiding in this house?"

"Well, you entered through this back door. There's no mistake. We just don't know what happened after you entered... Young Master, look over there."

Wang Caozhi heard the alert boy's voice stop suddenly. He looked back and found that the boy was pointing towards the opposite side.

The back door between the red walls was pushed open from the inside not long after Princess Anhui and the carriage entered.

Several people hurriedly walked out of the door, merged into the flow of people on the street, and left quickly.

Wang Caozhi recognized one of them, the thin-faced man who had been sneaking around Xunyang Grottoes. He was currently wearing a hat with the brim lowered to cover his face.

But Wang Caozhi has a sharp eye and remembers people very accurately, especially the back figures and road postures, and he can't make mistakes.

The atmosphere in the box facing the street gradually became quiet.

At a certain moment, the alert boy looked up at Wang Caozhi's motionless back and asked cautiously:

"Sir, should we pause..."

Wang Caozhi suddenly interrupted:

"Follow me, keep following me." After a pause, he added, "I'm talking about the thin-faced man."

"Yes, sir."

The alert boy clasped his fists and quickly left the box.

Wang Caozhi stood silently for a moment, turned around, and took another look at the high red wall across the street.

He murmured:

"My dear, you are really a relative of the emperor..."

…

Xunyang Ferry, wharf.

Ships are parked densely and come and go.

Qian Chen had just left Princess Anhui's residence with a serious face and came to the dock with a few followers.

Wearing uniform gray uniforms and buns, they were very inconspicuous. They passed through the crowds of people and handed out several small wooden signs to a few boatmen who were sunbathing on the shore.

After the boatman's inspection, Qian Chen and everyone boarded a cargo ship that was about to leave on the shore. Soon, the cargo ship started and slowly left Xunyang Ferry.

Qian Chen didn't know that not long after the ship he was on had left, a figure appeared on the shore of the dock where the ship had been moored.

He is a young man with a sharp mouth and a sharp face.

He looked at the direction in which the ship was leaving with his glistening eyes, and then looked back at the direction of the Commercial Department...

About half an hour later, the astute boy walked out of the Trade Department with a roster in his hand. When he came to the door, he was flipped to a certain page.

On the way back, the alert boy glanced at it curiously.

The destination of a certain ship is clearly written above.

"Qian Chen, Hukou County?"

…

Ouyang Rong rarely lived or worked in Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion.

Although he accepted the imperial decree and acted as the governor of Jiangzhou, Ouyang Rong's clothing, food, housing and transportation were the same as when he was the Sima of Jiangzhou and the governor of Jiangzhou. He lived in the Huaiye Lane mansion, Jiangzhou lobby and Xunyang Prince's Palace.
