Ninghai Prefecture Government Office.

"Master, are Huang Renbiao and Li Xian really going to do it?" A man who looked like a master asked respectfully to the person sitting above.

The person sitting at the top was in his forties, wearing a government official robe, and looked very ordinary, but his eyes were shrewd.Prime Minister's token, I have to do it... But, how did the two of them get into trouble with Pei Rongbai?"

"Did the Lord Prime Minister hear about what Huang Renbiao did under the guise of Goldman Sachs?"

"No... I heard that Pei Rongbai came to Yangcheng City in person because of the Yangcheng City case... Do you think...he came to Weiyang in disguise?" The governor suddenly had a flash of inspiration when he thought of this, and askedHe said, "Have you ever asked, has Huang Renbiao met anyone recently?"

"I asked, and I said that I ran into two people who robbed his inn room. The guards of those people are very good at martial arts... and they are accompanied by this very handsome young man!"

"Oops!" The governor jumped up, thought for a while, then sat down slowly, and said, "It's Pei Rongbai, that's right, you don't know, Pei Rongbai has a wife, the youngest son of the imperial merchant Qiao's family, whoShe is as beautiful as a flower, three points more beautiful than those beauties..."

"So that's the case, then what is Prime Minister Pei going to Weiyang Town for?"

"He may not be going to Weiyang Town... I think he may be coming to Ninghai Prefecture. I want to write a letter to the prince. This Pei Rongbai may use the fox demon case to investigate the Japanese pirates in Ninghai Prefecture!"

"That's good, if he finds out that we have contacts with Japanese pirates..."

"What are you panicking? Since he wants to visit in secret, we don't have to be afraid of him. When the time comes, we plan to arrest him as a troublemaker, or kill them all in the sea. Who will know? And get rid of a serious worry for the prince."Woolen cloth!"

"My master has a good plan!"

...

Pei Rongbai and his party soon arrived at Ninghai Prefecture.

This Ninghai Prefecture is a port, there are many sea boats coming and going, and there are many fishermen along the coast who make a living by fishing. Their ancestors have lived by the sea for generations, so Ninghai Prefecture also has a lot of fresh aquatic products and seafood.

After Pei Rongbai and others arrived in Ninghai Prefecture, they did not rush to eat seafood, but went to the very famous wine first. They found out that the winery that had been "patronized" by the pirate leader Hong Ji many times was called Tianyu Villa., specializing in daughter red, very famous.

Qiao Songyu looked at the tall villa in front of him, smelled the scent of wine on the tip of his nose, and said with emotion: "Wow, I feel that this wine should be really delicious. I, a person who can't drink, feel that the wine is very fragrant!"

Pei Rongbai heard the words, looked at him and said with a smile: "Song Er, if he can smell the aroma of wine, he can drink. I think you are a little drunkard."

Qiao Rongyu also smiled and said: "Then you overestimated him. During the Chinese New Year, he would drink wine in a glass. Even my mother could eat a few. After eating a glass, his face would turn red, as if he was drunk.look like."

"Really?" Pei Rongbai seemed to have heard some anecdote, and said with great interest, "Why don't you take this opportunity to have a drink or two?"

Qiao Songyu knew that he wanted to see her own joke again, so she spat bluntly: "You obviously want to see me make a fool of myself, so I won't drink it!"

Both Pei Rongbai and Qiao Rongyu laughed out loud.

The three talked and laughed, and walked towards the gate of the villa. There were two guards guarding the gate. Seeing the three coming, they stepped forward and asked:

"Who are you and why do you want to enter the villa?"

Qiao Rongyu took a step forward and said politely: "I'm a businessman who came here for fame. I heard that the daughter of Guizhuang is very good. I just want to transport velvet to the north and buy more than a dozen jars of good wine to go back."

The guard then said: "Just wait, I'll report to the owner."

"I'm here to help you." Qiao Rongyu smiled and made a gesture of invitation.Seeing the guard walking away, he turned his head again and whispered to Pei Rongbai and Qiao Songyu, "This villa is unusual, who sells wine with such strict guards?"

Pei Rongbai gave a "hmm" and said, "Perhaps because Hong Ji visited frequently before, so the guards have been strengthened."

Qiao Rongyu nodded: "It also makes sense."

While the two were talking, a man in his fifties who looked like a butler came out to greet the three of them with a smile on his face:

"I don't know that the three honored guests are here. I'm sorry to welcome you from far away." He cupped his hands towards the crowd, and then asked, "The little one's surname is Zhou, and his single name is the word Fu. He is the steward of Tianyu Villa. I don't knowWhere is the guest coming from?"

"Hello, Steward Zhou. My surname is Wang, with a single name of Rong. This is my friend, whose surname is Bai, with a single name of Zhang. This is my younger brother, with a single name of Song. The three of us are Yan."A native of Zhouzhou who is in the velvet business, he went to Yang City to collect silk. He heard that there is a winery in Ninghai Prefecture.The good daughter on the altar will go back." Qiao Rongyu said eloquently.Yanzhou is just south of the capital, and the accents of the two places are similar, and people from other places can't recognize it, so they pretend to be from Yanzhou.

When Zhou Fu heard the words, he didn't suspect him, and hurriedly said: "So, please come in quickly, I will take the distinguished guests to the village to have a look, taste the first product, if you are satisfied, it will not be too late to negotiate the price. Three please."

The three of them followed Zhou Fu into the manor, and saw that the manor was very quiet, with many trees planted, the main hall and other courtyards were hidden by these tall trees, but the scent of wine lingering at the tip of the nose remained unchanged..

While looking around, Pei Rongbai asked, "Butler Zhou, I would venture to ask, where's the owner of your estate?"

"Oh, the owner of my family has not seen customers for many years, and all affairs are handled by my young owner. My young owner went to a banquet with friends today. If you want to meet, make an appointment with the young one and come back next time, sir.The owner must be here." Zhou Fu explained politely.

This is exactly the same as what they inquired before they came: Ling Nanshan, the owner of Tianyu Villa, has not seen visitors for many years, and his only son Ling Fengqi takes care of all the affairs of the villa.

"So that's how it is." Pei Rongbai nodded as if he had suddenly realized, and said, "It would be a great honor for me to be received by the Young Master in person."

Qiao Songyu pretended to be naive and said from the side: "Last time I heard people say that the daughter red of your winery is so delicious that even the leader of the Japanese pirates came to your house several times to steal the wine. Is that true?"

"Songer!" Qiao Rongyu pretended to scold.

That Zhou Fu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's okay, what this little prince said is indeed true, the pirate leader is also annoying, not only stealing, but also smashing our wine and hurting our servants, It's really disgusting, even the government can't do anything about her, so we have to strengthen our guard, but fortunately, since I came here in February this year, this thief woman hasn't been here for a long time."

Hearing this, Pei Rongbai and Qiao Songyu looked at each other, but did not speak.
