While eating and chatting, Lin Chong and others also came over, and they all sat down and pretended to have tea and tell fortunes while chatting.
"Brother, I found it!"
Guo Sheng came back with a smile.
"What did you find out? Brother, I haven't said anything yet!"
Sun Lei looked at the panting Guo Sheng. This kid really ran back and forth, working hard enough.
"Brother, I don't need to explain here. The Cheng family is on Chongmingmen Nei Street in the west of the city!"
Guo Sheng said with a smile.
"Chengxi?"
Lin Chong frowned.
"Any questions?"
Sun Lei looked at Lin Chong doubtfully.
"Brother, the west side of the inner city is easy to get to. The Bianhe River in the west of the city leads directly to the Yellow River. Many of the northern foreigners live here. The embassies of Liao, Goryeo, and Xixia are all located here. In addition, the residences of military generals They are basically distributed here, including Tong Guan and Gao Qiu!"
Lin Chong said.
"Brother Lin Chong is right, Cheng Wanli's house is right next to Tong Guan's mansion!"
Guo Sheng said.
"Cheng Wanli used to be just the doorkeeper in Tong Guan's mansion, not a big figure. Now that he has been demoted and recalled, why should he live next to Tong Guan? There must be something wrong here!"
Sun Lei touched his chin and said, Cheng Wanli is Tong Guan's disciple, and his highest level was the prefect of Dongping Prefecture. Now that he has been transferred back to Tokyo, he is still living in such a place. It is really strange that he looks so promoted.
"Brother, why don't I go to Tongguan Mansion to explore!"
Shi Qian immediately spoke.
"It's not necessary for the moment. Tong Guan is no better than others. There are countless masters in the army around him. We can't alert the enemy at this time!"
Sun Lei shook his head. Shi Qian's ability was of course nothing to say, but this was not the right time. If he was not careful, he would lose everything.
"Come on, let's go shopping in the west of the city! To be honest, I haven't been to the west of the inner city much!"
Sun Lei stood up with a smile and said, he used to go either to the east of the inner city or to the west of the outer city. Both places were where fireworks gathered.
To the east of the inner city are Fanlou, Panlou, and Xiaowazi Street, and to the west of the outer city are the East and West Jiaofang and Goulan brothels.
However, the quality of the outer city is much lower than that of the inner city. After all, the inner city is where dignitaries gather, while the outer city is where ordinary people gather.
Wandering all the way to Xicheng, the style has changed drastically. There are all kinds of people on the street, including blond foreigners and Arabs leading camels.
"Is this Tantra?"
Sun Lei said in surprise as he looked at a strange Buddhist temple with lamas wearing red robes and cockscomb hats coming in and out. There was also a huge prayer wheel inside.
"This should be the Yellow Temple."
Lu Zhishen looked at the lamas with purple skin and said.
Another walk.
"Tokyo is so big, it has everything! Seriously, Fang La should live here."
Sun Lei pointed to a nearby Aoyao Temple with a smile. The Aoyao Temple is a Zoroastrian temple, one of the branches of Mingjiao Zoroastrianism. This should be regarded as the main altar.
"Brother, that is Tong Guan's mansion."
After walking for a while, Lin Chong pointed to a large stockade in the distance that occupied an extremely large area. There were guards with knives guarding the door.
"Go sit over there."
Sun Lei pointed to a restaurant on the street and said, that teahouse could look at the gate of Tong Guan Mansion from a distance.
"Please come upstairs, please!"
The waiter came up to greet them with a smile on his face, and Sun Lei led everyone to sit down by the window on the second floor.
"Serve the table with food and wine, and bring more jars of good wine!"
Sun Lei threw a piece of silver and gave the waiter instructions.
"okay!"
The waiter smiled and sang congratulations after winning the money.
After a while, the good food and wine were placed on the table, and several large jars of wine were also served. Lu Zhishen and Wu Song smiled and took the wine jars and asked the waiter to leave, and poured wine for everyone.
"Brother, what's the problem at Tong Guan's house?"
Shi Qian looked at Sun Lei and asked.
"It's not about uniting the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. Tong Guan is the leader of this matter, so naturally we should pay close attention to it."
Sun Lei took a sip of wine and said.
"Brother, there hasn't been much movement in Tong Guan recently!"
Shi Qian looked at Sun Lei and said that he was also paying attention to this matter, but it seemed that he didn't mention it much about joining the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty.
"Of course there is no movement. How can Tong Guan share such great achievements with others? Tong Guan has been in charge of military power for ten years and knows how to ask for credit and rewards. He has countless people at the border. There will definitely be no movement in Tokyo until things improve. .”
Sun Lei shook his head and said, he captured the Bohai Sea and cut off the sea route. Tong Guan could not cross the Bohai Sea to contact the Jin Kingdom, so he could only take the land route through the Liao Kingdom.
"Stop talking about that, drink! Drink!"
Lu Zhishen and Wu Song picked up their wine bowls and said with a smile, and everyone also picked up their wine bowls and drank together.
After drinking and chatting for more than half an hour, a team of carriages and horses appeared on the street. The people leading the way were all strong soldiers, and each of them was wearing a sword. When they arrived at the gate of Tong Guan Mansion, the team stopped. An official in a red robe came down from the sedan chair.
"Who is this?"
Sun Lei asked as he watched the sedan stop at the door of Tong Guan Mansion.
Ma Lin and Lehe looked at each other and shook their heads. They knew many high-ranking officials in Tokyo, but there were so many officials in Tokyo. There were countless people who went abroad and came to Beijing every year, and they didn't know anyone here.
The guard at the door of Tong Guan Mansion bowed and saluted, and opened the door directly to welcome the man in without making any announcement.
"Are you here for a visit? Tong Guan is the Privy Councilor. As the year is approaching, there must be a lot of people from the army visiting."
Lin Chong opened his mouth and said that when he was a coach in the past, he often went to Shangguan Mansion to pay his respects during this New Year.
"No, none of the visiting team is wearing weapons. The man in the red robe is a fifth or sixth grade official. Under normal circumstances, he would never dare to visit Tong Guan like this, unless he is a close confidant of Tong Guan. "
Wen Huanzhang said, "The official hierarchy is very strict. How dare a fifth or sixth grade official be so rude in front of Tong Guan?"
"Keep an eye on it recently."
Sun Lei looked at Tong Guanna's mansion and said.
Everyone left the tavern and continued walking to the outer city.
"Brother, this is where Cheng Wanli lives!"
Guo Sheng pointed to a house and said to Sun Lei. The house was not big and the front door was very new. It had obviously been recently cleaned and painted.
However, Sun Lei did not stay and took everyone away as if taking a walk.
Sun Lei took everyone on a cruise ship. There are four large rivers flowing through Tokyo, namely Wuzhang River, Jinshui River, Bian River, and Cai River.
Tokyo is more prosperous than ever before, and there is no curfew even after dark. However, the city gates will still be closed, and several water gates will also be closed.
Therefore, at night, there are no merchant ships on the four rivers in the city, and large and small flower boats and pleasure boats are all over the rivers. Taking a boat to visit Tokyo Bianliang is also a special feature.
"If the world is peaceful and peaceful, Tokyo Bianliang is indeed a good place!"
Xiao Jiasui sighed, the prosperity of the world is nothing more than this, but unfortunately this prosperity is just an appearance. Under the appearance, it is already riddled with holes, undercurrents are surging, and the building is about to collapse.
"Why should Mr. Xiao be so sentimental? The prosperity can continue, just replace the dirty, bad and bad things!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"Brother is right, just cut off the bad ones!"
Xiao Jiasui cupped his fists and said, "This is like planting a tree. If there is a problem, prune it ruthlessly. If it doesn't work, just cut it down and plant another one. Anyway, this is the land, and you can plant any kind of tree."
