Standing in front of the shop, Wang Zizi saw a sedan parked across the street, and the direction where the prisoner was going was exactly where the sedan was.
Seeing this scene, he retreated into the shop and looked through the window in the direction of the sedan on the street.
I saw the little eunuch walking up to the sedan. Instead of getting on the sedan, he stopped at the side of the sedan, as if he was saying something to the inside of the sedan.
"Father-in-law, I failed to handle the matter well. Please punish me." The young eunuch stood beside the sedan and lowered his head to admit his mistake.
A voice came from inside the sedan and said: "Ahem, what's going on?"
The little eunuch said: "The shopkeeper of this shop refused to tell me what Eunuch Wei was doing in their shop. He insisted that he was here to buy leather goods. I really have no choice."
"Oh, we have such a bad temper and such an unscrupulous person, let's go and go from house to house to meet this shopkeeper Wang, ahem." After saying that, the sedan curtain was opened, and Wang An covered it with a handkerchief. Zui got off the sedan chair.
Wang Ziyi, who was standing behind the shop window, naturally saw this scene.
Although he didn't know Wang An, he could guess from the attitude of the eunuch who had just left towards the person who got off the sedan. Even if the person who got off the sedan was not Wang An, he was also the eunuch beside Wang An. .
Wang Zizi watched the young eunuch helping the people in the sedan walk towards the shop, then he left from the window and returned behind the counter.
After a while, the little eunuch helped the man into the shop.
"Ahem, who is the shopkeeper?" The man supported by the little eunuch asked as soon as he entered the door.
Wang Zizi hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, bowed and saluted, and said, "I have met my two father-in-laws."
There were still several customers who came to buy things in the shop. When they saw the two eunuchs coming to the shop, they all left the shop but did not go far and stayed outside the shop door.
"Our family is Wang An." The man supported by the young eunuch said.
"It turns out to be Senior Official Wang." Wang bowed again and said immediately, "Eunuch Wang, and this father-in-law, let's move to the inner room to talk."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and made an inviting gesture in the direction of the guest room.
"Ahem."
Wang An coughed twice, and with the help of the young eunuch, he walked into the guest room on the side.
Wang followed behind and walked in together. As he was about to enter, he said to the waiter in the shop: "Prepare a few cups of hot tea and bring them over."
After saying that, he entered the guest room and lowered the cotton curtain on the door.
"My father-in-law, please take a seat." Wang said to himself, "This place is a bit shabby, I'm neglecting my father-in-law."
After a few people were seated, the waiter brought three cups of hot tea into the room on a tray and placed the bowls of tea on the table nearest to the three people.
Wang An picked up the tureen, put it under his nose, smelled it, and said lightly: "The tea is good, I'm interested."
After saying that, he put the bowl of tea back on the table.
Wang Zizi smiled and said: "If my father-in-law likes it, I will ask the waiter to prepare some tea for my father-in-law."
The young eunuch standing next to Wang An scolded Wang An: "My father-in-law has never tasted any kind of good tea, so how can he care about your tea leaves?"
"My father-in-law is right, I was reckless." Wang Ziyi hurriedly handed over his hand to apologize.
From the beginning to the end, he always had a smile on his face, as if the person the little eunuch just scolded was not him.
"Okay, it's kind of you to give us tea." Wang An waved his hand towards the little eunuch, then covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice.
After coughing, he put away the handkerchief, picked up the bowl, took a sip, rinsed his mouth, and spit back into it.
"Brother, bring in a cup of hot tea." Wang Zingzhi shouted outside.
Wang An waved his hand and said: "No, we are not here to drink tea. Our incompetent apprentice has already been here. Shopkeeper Wang must have already known our purpose."
Hearing the words "Shopkeeper Wang", Wang Jing knew that the other party did not suddenly come to him. He should have gotten to know him before, otherwise he would not even know his surname Wang.
After all, Wang An is a big shot in the palace, and he, the shopkeeper, cannot get into the eyes of the other party at all.
Thinking of this, he showed a trace of hesitation, and then said: "I did hear something, and it seems to be related to Eunuch Wei."
"Yeah." Wang An grunted, and then said, "Let's just ask Shopkeeper Wang. Wei Zhongxian comes to your shop every now and then. What exactly is he here for? We hope Shopkeeper Wang can tell the truth."
Wang Zijin said with a smile on his face: "This little father-in-law just asked about Eunuch Wei. I dare not hide it. Eunuch Wei came to the shop and really just bought some leather goods."
At this time, the waiter in the shop came in with a cup of hot tea.
Wang raised his hand and gestured towards Wang An, and said: "Send it to the prince."
The waiter walked up to Wang An, put down the bowl of tea in his hand, and picked up the teacup on the table that he had used to rinse his mouth before.
Wang An glanced at the tureen on the table and said, "I heard that your Jintie, which is produced in Tiger Character Banner, wants to be on the purchasing list of the Ministry of Industry."
"To be honest, father-in-law, this is indeed the case. My boss has always hoped that his Jintie can enter the Ministry of Industry." Wang nodded and admitted.
Wang An said in a calm tone: "We can ask the Ministry of Industry to purchase the Shanxi iron produced by your Tiger Banner, and the share will be no less than that of Fujian iron."
After speaking, he picked up the tureen and blew in the hot air inside.
Wang Zi smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't dare to expire my father-in-law. When my father-in-law Wei came to the shop, he really only bought some leather goods."
Hearing this, Wang An's face sank, and he said angrily: "We are giving you face, don't toast or eat, and you will be fined with wine. In this place in the capital, if we want to crush you to death, it is like crushing a bedbug to death." So simple."
The king himself was speechless.
Putting down the tureen in his hand, Wang An said in a gentle tone: "Our family said that Wei Zhongxian has something to do, so it must be something. Since our family can find you here, naturally we will not know anything about what happened between you. You Do you think that because you hid it for Wei Zhongxian, he can keep you safe?"
"My father-in-law is joking. How dare you deceive your father-in-law? In fact, Eunuch Wei just bought some leather goods." Wang Ziyi repeated with a helpless expression.
Although I don't know why the headmaster repeatedly warned him in the letter to maintain his relationship with Wei Zhongxian, it did not prevent him from carrying out the orders of the headmaster.
Regarding Wei Zhongxian, he couldn't tell Wang An in front of him at all, at least some things couldn't come out of his mouth.
If Wang An knew that Wei Zhongxian had taken a lot of Dongzhu and silver coins from him, no matter whether Wei Zhongxian had anything to do with him in the future, he knew that he and Hu Ziqi would completely offend Wei Zhongxian.
"Okay, our family knows it. It seems that you are determined to stand with Wei Zhongxian." After saying that, Wang An stood up and then said, "Our family will wait for you to come and beg us, let's go."
The little eunuch next to him supported Wang An's wrist and walked out of the room.
Wang Ziqing knew that he had completely offended this high official, and what would follow would definitely be the other party's revenge.
After sending Wang An away, Wang Zi did not dare to delay. The only one who could help them at this time was Wei Zhongxian.
Shortly after Wang An left, a waiter in the shop ran out from the side door at the back of the shop.
