Li Zhen then found out that Wang Yuanbao's mansion was in Yanshoufang next to the west city.

Only then did Li Zhen realize that Wang Yuanbao was the richest man in Chang'an. His father Wang Xin made a fortune in the Western Regions trade and became one of the top folk wealthies in the entire Tang Dynasty with his jewelry from the Western Regions and wine from Gaochang.

The main residence of the Wang family is in Luoyang, and Chang'an is just a different residence. Like Wushun, Wang Yuanbao also holds the title of Zhuguo's honorary official, so his mansion in Chang'an is also 'Wang Zhuguo Mansion'.

The mansion covers an area of ​​nearly 70 acres and is built with great momentum. Since the Wu Zetian era, the court has gradually tolerated merchants and has let go of various shackles on merchants.

Merchants can ride horses, build gorgeous mansions, have titles, and even become officials, and participate in the imperial examinations, and their social status has been greatly improved.

Li Zhen and the other two handed a greeting letter to the doorman. Soon, Wang Yuanbao greeted him with a spring breeze on his face, "Brother Li, when did you come to Chang'an?"

Compared with Gao Changshi, Wang Yuanbao's skin became much whiter, his face became fatter and his spirit was soaring. It can be seen that the success of his trip to the Western Regions had won him great praise, which was in sharp contrast with Wu Shun's resentment and indignation.

Li Zhen bowed and said, "I just arrived in Chang'an yesterday, and I'm here to visit Brother Wang today."

"It's too late. I should have come yesterday. I'm going to punish you for three glasses of wine. How dare I neglect me!"

The two laughed, and Wang Yuanbao greeted Jiuzhi and Kang Dazhuang again, but Xiaoxi was not seen. He asked a little strangely: "Didn't Brother Yao come to Chang'an with me?"

If he hadn't seen Wang Qingyu, Li Zhen would have thought that Wang Yuanbao knew nothing, but now his heart is as clear as a mirror. Wang Yuanbao actually knew everything, but he was just acting in front of him.

Li Zhen also pretended to be a bitter smile and said, "This matter is hard to describe!"

Wang Yuanbao smiled and said, "It's better, there's time to go to the mansion and talk slowly."

He invited Li Zhen and the other two into the mansion. Wang Yuanbao's mansion was indeed magnificent, with green trees and carved beams and painted buildings, pearls, tassels, flying sky, lotus petals and other patterns everywhere.

Various small and unique pavilions and towers can be seen everywhere, and a river specially attracted to run through the mansion. Whether it is Feng Shui or architectural style, it is an excellent mansion, which is pleasing to the eye.

Everyone came to the guest hall, and the host and the maid sat down. The maid served tea and refreshments. At this time, the sound of ring pendants came from outside. Wang Yuanbao smiled and said, "This is the sister-in-law!"

A gust of fragrant wind came, and Wang Qingyu appeared on the lobby steps surrounded by several maids. She had changed into a green long silk skirt, which made her look more beautiful and beautiful, and she was full of lotus step by step.

"I heard that a distinguished guest has arrived. It turned out to be Mr. Li, long time no see."

Wang Qingyu seemed to have never seen Li Zhen in the morning, with a smile on her face of a long separation and reunion. She gave a slight salute to Jiuzhi and Kang Dazhuang, "Welcome to the two of you to visit!"

The three of them quickly stood up and gave her a gift. Li Zhen smiled and said, "I only realized that the water and soil of Chang'an are so nourishing."

Wang Qingyu covered her mouth and chuckled, with a charming look on the corners of her eyes, "Young Master Li is really good at speaking. Qingyu thanks you for your praise!"

She sat down next to her brother, smiling with a clever look on her face, but stopped talking.

Wang Yuanbao asked again with a smile: "I don't know where my brother lives now, should I move to my mansion?"

"We stayed at Yipin Inn in Pingkangfang and we stayed very well. Thank you for your kindness!"

Wang Yuanbao smiled and took a sip of tea slowly. At this time, Li Zhen pondered for a while and then said straight to the point: "I'm not hiding it from Brother Wang, we met Wu Shun last night."

Wang Yuanbao's hand trembled slightly, and the tea almost rippled out. His face was obviously a little unnatural. Even Wang Qingyu's smile disappeared, as if he was in deep thought. Li Zhen knew very well that Wang Yuanbao actually knew everything. He asked tentatively: "Does Brother Wang be familiar with him?"

"What's wrong with it!"

Wang Yuanbao pretended to be a little bit of aware of him, "Everyone in Chang'an who knew him was originally surnamed Liu and was also a wealthy person in Chang'an. Three years ago, he gave half of his property to Wu Chengsi, so he recognized Wu Chengsi as his father and changed his name to Wu Shun. For three years, he relied on Wu Chengsi's power to do things wrong in Chang'an, which is very disgusting. How could Mr. Li know him?"

"That's right, Dazhuang's sister was lured by him and prepared to offer it to Wu Chengsi. We went to his mansion to rescue him last night. Unfortunately, Yao Xi was caught by him. Wu Shun told me that the relics must be used to exchange their lives, so..."

Wang Yuanbao's face became increasingly ugly, and he said for a while: "Young Master Li won't think the relics are still in my hands, right?"

Although Li Zhen was difficult to speak, it was related to Xiaoxi and Sisi's lives. He had to say it explicitly, "I know that relics are very important to Brother Wang, and I don't plan to have real relics. I just hope that Brother Wang can give me the shadow relics. Didn't Brother Wang say that the shadow relics have been sent back to Chang'an last time?"

"Yes! I said this last time, but it's a coincidence that I have sent Shadow Relic to Shaolin Temple in Songshan. Our Wang family supplies sesame oil there. If I can give me a month, maybe I can welcome Shadow Relic back. I wonder if I can wait for a while?"

Li Zhen couldn't say a word. No matter whether Wang Yuanbao really sent Yingshe to Shaolin Temple or not, his attitude clearly told Li Zhen that even if the Yingshe was in his hands, he would not take it out.

The warmth and coldness of human relationships! From another perspective, what is the difference between Wang Yuanbao and Wu Shun?

At this time, Kang Dazhuang could no longer help saying, "Brother Wang, if you can't hand over the relics to Wu Shun tonight, Xiaoxi and my sister will suffer misfortune. Can you ask Brother Wang to think of a way to save their lives!"

Wang Yuanbao sighed for a while, "I really can't help, I can only express my feelings a little more, come!"

Two confidant followers came from the hall and stood with their hands down. Wang Yuanbao ordered them, "Go and get five hundred taels of gold."

Since they had already said it, there was no need for them to stay any longer. Li Zhen stood up and said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Wang, there is no need for gold. We will say goodbye first, and there will be a date later!"

"My brother, I'm really sorry."

"No need! I can understand Brother Wang's difficulties, and I will never force Brother Wang." Li Zhenhan nodded with a smile, and did not look at Wang Qingyu. He turned around and took Kang Dazhuang and Jiu Zhiyang away.

Wang Yuanbao looked at them and snorted coldly. Behind him, Wang Qingyu didn't say a word. I wonder what she was thinking?

After coming out of Wang Yuanbao's mansion, Jiu Zhi spat fiercely and couldn't help but curse: "It's just a bastard, ungrateful, how can such a person become the richest man in Chang'an?"

"Do you think people with affection and righteousness will become the richest man in Chang'an?" Kang Dazhuang said sarcastically.

He looked at Li Zhen worriedly again, "A Zhen, what should we do now?"

"Go back to the inn first, and I'll think of something else."

Li Zhen had a cold face, turned over and urged the horse to run towards Pingkangfang.

Back at the inn, Li Zhen sat at the small table and drew a map of Wushun Mansion on paper based on his memory last night. Since the relic selection failed, he could only adopt the worst strategy, sneak into Wushun Mansion, and capture Wushun's children as hostages for exchange.

Jiuzhi and Kang Dazhuang sat aside and waited anxiously. They were at a loss now.

At this moment, a friend's voice came from outside the door, "Mr. Li, someone has sent a letter."

Li Zhen was stunned. Why did he have another letter? He quickly took the drawing paper and said, "Please come in!"

The guy came in and handed him a letter. Li Zhen recognized the handwriting on the letter. He quickly opened the letter. There were only three words written on a plain paper: "Old place."

...........

In the room of Yunxian Pavilion, Li Zhen paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He didn't know why Wang Qingyu looked for him again, maybe he wanted to give him a clear way, or maybe she planned to remind herself again.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and a tall woman in white dress came in like a gust of wind. She wore a bamboo hat and a thin gauze covered her face. She held a cloud brocade bag that was the most popular among women in the Tang Dynasty. As soon as she entered the house, she felt a faint fragrance.

Li Zhenben hesitated and asked, "Miss is..."

The woman in white dress lifted the veil covering her face and smiled and said, "Honest Master Li forgot me so soon?"

It was Wang Qingyu who had just seen half an hour ago, and Li Zhen secretly scolded him for being so anxious.

He quickly apologized: "It turned out to be Miss Wang. I just didn't expect to see the girl again so soon."

"Don't you want to see me?" Wang Qingyu looked at her with beautiful eyes.

"Not..." Li Zhen didn't know what to say, so he could only smile bitterly, "Miss Wang, it's really hard to describe it."

Wang Qingyu sighed quietly, "My brother is such a person. Of course you don't want to see me again, but our Wang family is not all ruthless people."
