Bu Suanzi suddenly turned around, pointed at Yao Guangqi, and said to Liu Huaming very formally: "I want to lead him to meet that master and only lead him. I understand, it's not you, not you, not including you. Also, I don't know that there is this case here, it was told by someone else."

"Who told you?" Liu Huaming asked repeatedly.

Bu Suanzi was a little impatient, turned around and walked forward, saying casually: "What does it have to do with you?" and then stopped talking.

Yao Guangqi suddenly remembered something and muttered to himself: "Is it him?"

"What did you say?" Liu Huaming didn't hear it clearly and turned his head to ask.

"I didn't say anything." Yao Guangqi shook his head quickly and took a few steps to avoid Liu Huaming.

Liu Huaming followed Yao Guangqi and asked angrily: "It just so happens that I haven't settled the score with you yet. Why didn't you avoid the woman touching you just now?"

The master and apprentice went north, and Yao Guangqi repeatedly considered it on the way. After all, Peiping was the place where Zhu Di pavilion was built. If he could use the influence and prestige of the King of Yan, he might have helped the investigation of the case. But on the other hand, he felt that the case was still unclear, and it was difficult to figure out what was hidden behind this matter. Using Zhu Di's power too early may cause a backfire. Therefore, after careful consideration, Yao Guangqi decided not to involve Zhu Di for the time being, and investigated it first.

When I came to Peking, it was late spring in May, and the northern land was full of vitality.

When Yao Guangqi and others entered the city of Peking, they happened to catch up with Duke Cao Li Wenzhong to triumphantly train. The farewell ceremony of King Yan Zhu Di of the King of Yan was just over. Li Wenzhong led his subordinates to leave the city. The people of Peking were stunning. The road was full of people who set up cases and burned incense. Some wealthy families and merchants kept distributing sauce to the soldiers returning to Beijing on both sides of the road, and toasting one by one. General Li Wenzhong was surrounded by local gentry three layers inside and outside. The gentry not only brought bowls to toast, but also asked Li Wenzhong to leave their words with paper and pen. What's more, some gentry took their birthdays and horoscopes and insisted on giving their daughters or sisters to the general as concubines. The entire Beiping city had been tossing for a long time before calming down.

The four masters and apprentices inquired about it in the city of Peking, and only found their destination in the evening, the home of the salt merchant Wang Maoliu. Yes, it was the salt merchant Wang Maoliu who met at the Zhangjia Chicken Shop in Dezhou.

Wang Maoliu's house in Peking was very large, a three-in-one courtyard. When the four of them arrived outside the gate, there were no pedestrians on the street. The gate of the Wang family was closed, but the two large lanterns outside the gate were particularly bright, demonstrating the owner's unusual wealth.

Yao Guangqi stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon after, a young man in his twenties appeared. The young man looked very alert and timid. He only stuck his head out and asked very politely: "Who are you looking for?"

Yao Guangqi replied with a smile: "Please tell your master that an old friend has come to the south and ask him to come out and see him."

The young man did not turn around and report, but looked at everyone carefully with his eyes. Everyone could see that the young man had a little suspicion and caution in his eyes. Yao Guangqi understood that this must be a doubt of his identities. You can imagine how worried the salt merchants are now.

Bu Suanzi reached out from behind and handed something black, put it in the young man's hand and said, "Take it in and show it to your master or mistress. No matter who it is, they will understand it after reading it."

Although the young man still had doubts, he still closed the door with his things. Soon, he heard a burst of rapid running in the yard. From the chaotic footsteps, there were more than one person coming out.

The door opened, and a bald head jumped out first, "Old fairy, it's here." The bald head stepped forward and hugged Bu Suanzi, with tears in his eyes, but smiled on his face. Yao Guangqi remembered him, he was Wang Maoliu, a salt merchant he knew in Dezhou. Yao Guangqi was looking at Wang Maoliu, and suddenly heard a woman behind him shouting, "Old fairy". He saw a lame woman and two children coming out of the yard. Although the woman's legs were lame and unable to walk fast, she still ran forward and tried hard, leading a boy with one hand and a girl in her arms, and came to the inside of the big threshold. The woman put down the girl's doll and knelt down with her not very straightforward legs. She was already crying, "Look at the god, I finally saw you. Lao Liu said that he would see you when he returned to Texas and saw you, and I regret not going back with him..."

No matter how Bu Suanzi stopped him, he could not block the woman's gift. The woman not only kowtowed to Bu Suanzi himself, but also taught her son and youngest daughter to kowtow to Bu Suanzi.

After a lot of courtesy, the guest and the host entered the main hall. With the insistence of Wang Mao and Liu's family, Bu Suanzi had no choice but to sit in the middle and received another kneeling ceremony from Wang Mao and Liu's family.

Wang Maoliu pointed to the two children happily and said, "You are always the benefactor of our family. Without you, how could I be like this now! If you hadn't saved our husband and wife back then, how could we be like today? Although my wife was lame, she saved her life by the old god. So, she gave birth to a boy six years ago and gave birth to a girl two years ago. Look at our family, we have received your favors to enjoy today's blessings."

Bu Suanzi suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: "I heard that all the salt merchants in Peking have run away recently? The guy just saw that we were also on guard. What was going on?"

Wang Maoliu sighed and looked at his children and said, "Actually, we are also planning to go back to our hometown in Texas in two days."

Yao Guangqi interjected, "Tell me in detail, we came for this."

Wang Maoliu began to tell: "In the imperial court, we have been paying grain for salt and entrusting according to the rules of the court, and we have indeed made some money. For example, if I make money, I can hire more people to reclaim more wasteland. Now I have more than 1,200 acres of land in the areas of Peiping and Tongzhou. If something happened, I might have had more wasteland this year. But there has always been a problem here, that is, the grain I handed over. Generally, the government will ambush some people, counting the grain we handed over a little less, and some people are petty.
