    After entering Bianliang City, Gao Chong was waiting at the city gate. Fang Jinshi and Qiao Ling'er got off their horses and led the horses on foot. Qiao Ling'er peeked at Gao Chong and felt that they were riding together slowly. Brother  You would definitely guess that the two of them were having an intimate act, which made them a little embarrassed.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go and return the horse first, and then we¡¯ll go to Jinxian Village to take a bath and change clothes, and let my eldest brother gather some people to drink together in the evening.¡±

    "I won't go."

    "Are you okay tonight?"

    "fine."

    "If nothing happens, let's go together."

    Fang Jinshi took his horse to the place where Li Bao lived, and knocked on the door. It was Li Bao who opened the door, and he quickly let him in. Bao Zhu, who was busy in the kitchen, saw him coming and warmly greeted him to stay for dinner.  Fang Jinshi said: "I won't eat any more. I'll try your cooking another day."

    Li Bao also repeatedly asked to stay, and Fang Jinshi said again: "I will drink with others in the evening. If you have nothing to do, you can also go together. There will be more people and it will be more lively. You come to Bianliang City in a place where you are not familiar with each other. You will know more people and more ways."  .¡±

    Baozhu said: "As a woman, I can't stand on such a stage." She turned to Li Bao and said: "How about you go with Brother Fang? Don't stay at home all the time."

    Fang Jinshi stepped forward and took Li Bao's arm: "Baozhu agreed, let's go together, I will introduce you to some new friends."

    Li Bao couldn't refuse, so he went out with him and joined Gao Chong's brother and sister.

    Fang Jinshi saw Qiao Ling'er and Gao Chong standing on the roadside talking from a distance, and thought to himself that it was always a good thing that Gao Chong finally no longer resisted this sister. He introduced Li Bao and Gao Chong to each other, and then went back together.  Jinxianzhuang.

    When they arrived at Mianxianzhuang, Shi Quan and his wife were not there. They asked the waiter to go to another shop. Although it was a pity that Shi Quan was not here, it did not affect Fang Jinshi's enthusiasm to find people to treat. He asked Li Bao and Gao Chong to wait in the front hall.  After taking a rest in the reception area, he took Qiao Ling'er to the bed to choose a beautiful women's dress, stuffed it into her hands and said: "Go to the back and take a good bath, throw away your nun clothes, and never do it again."  Don¡¯t wear it, come drink with me later.¡±

    Qiao Ling'er picked up the clothes and took two steps, then turned around and said, "Is it okay if I don't go?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that your brother won't allow it? Don't worry, it'll be fine. Go quickly." After saying that, he pushed her on the back, and Qiao Ling'er had to agree. Fang Jinshi went to another place to take a good bath.  I took a shower and changed my clothes. I walked up the mountain and dug all over the ground that day, which made my hair and nests full of dirt.

    He went to the front and drank a cup of tea with Li Bao. Qiao Ling'er hadn't come out yet, so he gradually lost his patience. He ran to the back and pulled out Qiao Ling'er who had changed her clothes. Her hair was shorter and thinner.  Somewhat unsure, Fang Jinshi comforted her and went out to Jinxian Village with his high favorite Li Bao.

    Neither Gao Chong nor Li Bao were as familiar with Bianliang City as he was. Fang Jinshi was thinking about which restaurant to go to when two men dressed in blue robes and hats came over and said, "Master Fang, Master Fang."

    Fang Jinshi took a look and found that they didn't know each other, so he didn't say anything and waited for them to speak. One of the two people said: "Young Master Fang, we are the guys from the Huibin Building. Mr. Wang invited you to come and watch tonight."  The wrestling match, can we start now?"

    Regarding Wanyan Lou's invitation, Fang Jinshi didn't want to go. He didn't want to be his disciple, and he didn't want to join the Jin Kingdom's camp. Last time, he just checked for Dong Zhongsun to see if Yan Lou had left. Unexpectedly,  The Jin people even sent someone to invite them.

    I don¡¯t know whether the Wang Daguan people these two people are talking about are referring to Wanyan Lou¡¯s room or Wanyan Zongbi, but it doesn¡¯t matter. Anyway, Fang Jinshi didn¡¯t want to go, so he said to the two of them: ¡°Oh, I have something to do at night, I¡¯m afraid.  I can¡¯t go, please go back and tell Mr. Wang Daguan why I¡¯m sorry.¡±

    The two looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Young Master Fang, are you really not going?"

    Fang Jinshi cupped his hands and said, "I really have something to do. I'm sorry." After saying that, he turned around and left. Seeing that he refused to go, the two waiters left on their own.

    Li Bao asked: "Is it still the reception building we went to last time?"

    Fang Jinshi nodded, and Li Bao said with a worried look: "There are many Jin people in Bianliang City now. They have inquired about our officials from top to bottom. I heard that the company's military officials like to drink and eat.  They inquire about all kinds of meat, and the whole court turns a blind eye, which makes it really hard for people to feel at ease with these Jurchens."

    Fang Jinshi felt that Li Bao's concerns were reasonable, but he had no right to care about them. Gao Chong didn't understand and asked strangely: "Why is the Jin man asking about this?"

    Li Baodao: "It is very useful. Knowing the daily life hobbies of these officials can, on the one hand, suit their preferences and bribe them for their use, and on the other hand, you can arrange for relevant people to get close to these officials.Ask for information, and if the bribery fails, if necessary, the murder will be relatively targeted and simple.  "

    Fang Jinshi couldn't help but admire Li Bao. He was indeed someone who had traveled across the sea and seen the world. When Gao Chong heard what Li Bao said, he said angrily: "It's really hateful."

    Li Baodao: "Young Master Fang, you must be careful. These Jurchens invite you to come, I'm afraid they may also have the intention to win over you."

    Fang Jinshi said: "That's why I refused, and I don't want to get too close to these Jurchens."

    Li Baodao: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to go and have a look. We are just looking for a place to have a drink and let the Jurchens treat them to a meal. We can see what they are going to do. Maybe we can find out something else."

    Gao Chong said: "It's a pity that I have already rejected it."

    Li Bao smiled and said nothing. In his opinion, Gao Chong was still a little immature and young, and a little face-saving. Fang Jinshi looked at the three people around him. Except for himself, Gao Chong, his sister, and Li Bao were all very skilled. Let's go and have a meeting.  There shouldn't be any problems if you take a look at the guest building. Besides, I don't know if Dong Zhongsun and his disciples will go and assassinate Wanyan Lou's room. Maybe there will be fun to watch.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Fang Jinshi said: "Then let's go to the Huibin Building? Anyway, there is a restaurant there. Let's go have a drink. It's okay."

    The four of them hired a large carriage on the street and set off to the Huibin Building. The carriage passed through the bustling Bianliang City. It was getting dark. Gao Chong opened the curtain of the carriage and watched the night view of Bianliang City. He said  He said: "This is the street we visited last night."

    Fang Jinshi checked and found out that he was on the street not far from Cui Wenyu's residence. He thought that since he wanted to recruit this young man, why not find an opportunity to call him and take this opportunity to investigate this person.

    Fang Jinshi stopped the carriage and said to his high-favorite Li Bao, "I have a friend who lives nearby. Why don't we invite him to come with us?"

    The two didn't have any objections. Fang Jinshi asked the carriage to wait, got off the carriage and checked the direction. He crossed the alley and the small bridge and arrived at the door of Cui Wenyu's house. It was too dark to see clearly when he came last time, but now it seems  The house was indeed dilapidated. The old door was closed and there were no roads around it. Fang Jinshi walked up to the house and knocked on the door, shouting twice: "Is there anyone there?"

    He knocked several times and listened carefully, but there was no sound. It seemed that Cui Wenyu was not at home. There was no one at home. Fang Jinshi remembered that the last time Cui Wenyu went to Mianxianzhuang to pay him back a lot of money, he had said that if he was not here,  You can write a note and put it on the window sill. The door to his house is closed. If you really want to write a note and leave it, you may not know when he will see it.

    Fang Jinshi thought it was better to forget it, and turned back to Li Bao and said: "This friend is not at home, let's go back."

    Several people turned around and walked back. As soon as they stepped onto the small river bridge in front of the door, they heard someone repeatedly saying "Hey! Hey!"

    Fang Jinshi and others stopped when they heard the sound, but they didn't know where the sound came from. While they were looking for it, they heard someone shouting: "It's here."

    Only then did Fang Jinshi see that a black head was poking out of the dog hole where Cui Niannu led him through last time. It was Cui Wenyu, the red-nosed pig-nosed Jiu Cui Wenyu. No wonder it was difficult to find where the sound came from.  Li Bao and the others couldn't help but smile when they saw him making noises from the dog hole. Qiao Ling'er even covered her mouth and turned around to laugh.

    Fang Jinshi approached the dog hole next to the wall and asked Cui Wenyu who poked his head out with a smile: "Why don't you open the door and want to get in here?"

    Cui Wenyu did not get out of there, but replied with such an uncomfortable posture: "I want to make sure first whether the creditor is coming to collect the debt. I am afraid that the creditor will peek through the crack in the door to see if I am at home. What do you have?"  thing?"

    Fang Jinshi couldn't help but shook his head and stepped forward: "Don't worry, I'm not your creditor, let alone asking for a debt. It's really uncomfortable for me to see you like this. Why don't you open the door first and let me come in and talk to you?"  say?"

    Cui Wenyu asked, "Have you paid back the thousand gu that Cui Niannu borrowed from you?" He called Cui Niannu by name without any respect.

    Fang Jinshi nodded and said, "She will have someone give it back to me when we get back. You can open the door and talk about it later."

    Cui Wenyu then retreated and opened the door to let Fang Jinshi and others in. He quickly closed the door and led them to a corner where the inside could not be seen from the crack of the door. There was a small window in the corner that was open.  , Fang Jinshi looked from the window. The furniture in the house was shabby, the walls were blackened, there was a lot of dust on the dilapidated table, only the small piece where he usually sat was shiny with polish, a pile of books were scattered everywhere, and there was a cauldron in the house.  There was also a stove, some hay branches, etc., probably some medicinal materials.

    On the stone table supported by stone slabs next to it, there is a wine gourd and aThere is half a plate of cooked beans in the porcelain plate, and half a hard cooking cake is placed next to it. Cui Wenyu seems to be eating simple and shabby things. Compared with his literary and military skills, and his excellent medical skills, it is really disappointing.  Fang Jinshi felt very sad and found it difficult to understand his situation.

    Cui Wenyu was not polite and asked them to find a chair or stool or something to sit down. He sat on the stone table and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "It's okay. A few friends want to get together in the evening, have a few drinks, and meet a few friends by the way. I wonder if you are free."

    Cui Wenyu glanced at Li Baogaochong and Qiao Ling'er behind Fang Jinshi, squinted his eyes and said, "Are you rich?"

    Fang Jinshi was stunned: "What?"

    Cui Wenyu said: "How much can you give me if you treat me to a drink? If the price is reasonable, I will be free."

    Even Li Bao felt that this young man was too ungrateful. It was unheard of for someone to treat you to a drink and still give you money. It would be fine if you were a big shot. His house was dilapidated and he was always worried about creditors coming to collect debts.  , and he actually showed off his arrogance.

    Fortunately, Fang Jinshi had dealt with him twice and knew his character, so he asked calmly: "How much money do you want to be free?"

    Cui Wenyu did not answer him immediately, but thought for a moment before saying: "After all, it is our first time to cooperate, and we don't know each other very well. I will charge more, and I will be free for fifty guan."

    This price is really not low, Fang Jinshi said without hesitation: "Okay, the price is fair, no problem."

    Cui Wenyu obviously didn't expect Fang Jinshi to agree so readily. He slowly sat up from the stone table. Fang Jinshi said again: "It's not that I have a lot of money, I just think it's worth the money and I'm willing to spend it. Let's go now."  .¡±

    Cui Wenyu looked at him and said, "I want to receive the money first."

    Fang Jinshi took out a small ingot of gold without hesitation and placed it on the stone table in front of Cui Wenyu: "This piece of gold should be worth thirty guan."

    The gold glowed like money on the table. Cui Wenyu slowly stretched out his hand, collected the ingot of gold, and then said: "Wait a moment, I will change clothes and come."

    He walked into the house to change clothes, and Li Bao took the opportunity to whisper to him: "This friend of yours is really a weirdo."

    Fang Jinshi shook his head helplessly and smiled. If he wanted to accomplish something, he just had to have a price. If it was expensive, he would at best not buy it, but the worst thing he could do was not have a price.
