Chapter 99 The Secret of Juxian Tower

Zhu Bai changed into ordinary clothes and went to see Zhu Fan.

Zhu Fan was just about to go out.

Zhu Bai called: "Third brother, third brother, are you going to patrol the city? Take me with you."

Zhu Fan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Huh? Didn't you say you won't go to patrol the city?"

Zhu Bai said: "I want to go find a big restaurant to eat. Third brother, do you know what are the bigger restaurants and teahouses in the city?"

The corner of Zhu Fan's mouth twitched: "You are really smart if you know how to ask me. There are many big restaurants. Let's see what kind of dishes you want to eat."

Then Zhu Fan took Zhu Bai around the city, looking at restaurants one by one, and introduced him: "This one cooks northern cuisine, and its specialty is roasted lamb."

"This is made from Sichuan cuisine, it's a bit spicy."

It's just that these restaurants either don't have courtyards, or they're not big enough or lively enough.

Zhu Bai shook his head: "I don't like it."

I've been looking at it like this all morning.

Zhu Fan was a little helpless and led Zhu Bai to the junction of Beicheng and Zhongcheng. He pointed at a three-story wooden building from a distance and said, "That's the last one. My twelfth brother doesn't like it, so there's nothing I can do about it. This boss

He is from Anhui and is good at cooking Anhui cuisine. He also cooks good fish. Now is the time to eat mandarin fish."

Zhu Bai murmured: "Juxian Tower."

What a Juxian Tower, as the name sounds, it is a place for doing business and discussing business.

Zhu Fan said: "I'm going to patrol the city. I really can't play with you. Do you want to sit here or go with me?"

Zhu Bai hurriedly said: "Third brother, go and do some work. I'll just sit here and play."

You are sitting here, what else am I looking at?

Since you have been touring the city for so many days, all the merchants in Zhongcheng must know you.

Zhu Fan didn't tell Zhu Bai to be careful or anything, he just took the people away by himself.

Zhu Baicai said to Fugui: "As a rule, just call me young master."

Zhu Bai went upstairs and found that all the seats upstairs faced outwards. No one was allowed to enter the rooms facing the backyard.

Haha, if there really is a dental shop, it seems that the owner of the hotel has something to do with it.

Since he couldn't see it, Zhu Bai simply didn't sit upstairs and found a seat in the lobby where he could see all directions and hear all directions.

The door to the backyard was closed, and there was still a handle.

From time to time, someone who looked like a merchant would show a piece of paper to the guard.

The guards will only let the merchant pass if they have verified everything is correct.

After watching for a long time, except for one guard, no one came to change the guard.

Zhu Bai wanted to take a look, but he was clearly not a merchant and would definitely be stopped by the people guarding the door.

He looked around at the people he was leading.

Either they are too delicate, or they are too heroic, and they don't look like merchants. The key point is that they have no documents, so it is difficult to sneak in.

There is a child outside playing with a leather ball.

Zhu Bai gave Fugui two pennies and raised his chin at the child: "I want that ball."

Fugui thought about his child's nature. When he saw others playing, it was normal for him to want to play, so he went out and bought it from that child.

Zhu Bai grinned, placed the ball in the center of the lobby, concentrated his energy, and watched someone pass by. When the door just opened, he kicked the back door.

The ball flew through the crack in the door like a shooting star.

He trotted over, pointed inside, and said to the guard: "The ball. My ball."

The guard saw that he was well-dressed, not like an ordinary child, and that there were several servants following him, so he couldn't just drive him away. He just said: "When I'm free, I'll go in and help you get it."

When Zhu Bai heard this, he immediately cried: "No, I want my ball now."

Fugui hurriedly came over to coax: "Master, I will help you go in and get it."

After saying that, he was about to go in.

The guard immediately stopped him: "Hey, hey, you slave didn't even look where this is, so you just rushed in."

Fugui smiled coldly: "How high can you be as a restaurant chef? I'm trying to get through today."

At this commotion, many diners were looking over here.

Several merchants who originally wanted to enter were unable to come.

The guard was afraid of making a big fuss. Anyway, the child couldn't see any mystery, so he could only say to Zhu Bai: "Then you go in and pick it up. Once you pick it up, come out and don't stay."

Fu Gui still wanted to talk, Zhu Bai said: "Then I will go in and pick it up."

Fugui immediately realized that Zhu Bai wanted to enter the backyard by making such a fuss.

What's weird behind this?

Is it dangerous if Zhu Baiyi goes in alone?

He said: "Master, let me accompany you in."

Guard: "No. You can only go there yourself, young master."

Fugui muttered: "What a waste of time, our young master has to go to pick up the ball himself."

Zhu Bai sighed: "Then you just wait for me here."

Fugui said meaningfully: "Master, the moss in the backyard is slippery. If anything happens, just call me loudly."

Zhu Bai nodded: "Don't worry, don't be afraid."

Then the guard checked the voucher someone produced, opened the door just in time, and let Zhu Bai in with him.

The people inside stood in twos and threes, each taking out the piece of paper he had just shown to the guard and discussing something.

Zhu Bai pretended to look for the ball, walked around a few people, and listened.

A: "This is the best Sichuan brocade. The tooth shop has priced it at ten taels of gold per piece. If you are not willing to spare the money, you can buy it piece by piece."

B: "This is also the best Duan inkstone. You want to exchange a piece of cloth for an inkstone, which is a bit excessive."

C: "Last year there was a drought and the harvest of medicinal materials was not good. Everyone in Ya Xing knows that."

Ding: "But your price is too high."

They also say that there are no dental shops. Isn’t this just the dental shops setting prices and controlling sales?

Zhu Bai secretly gritted his teeth.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar sounded next to him: "Where did the child come from?"

When Zhu Bai heard the voice, it seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it. He was afraid of being recognized, so he lowered his head and covered his face and started to pretend to cry: "You are so cruel. I want to pick up the ball."

He also reminded Fugui not to kick in the door and rush in.

Someone handed a ball over: "Here you go, get out quickly."

Zhu Bai took a close look at the hands, held the ball and bowed his head before going out.

When Fugui saw Zhu Bai, his heart was finally relieved. He hugged Zhu Bai and said to the other guards: "Let's go back."

Zhu Bai went out and walked a long way, put down his hand, threw the ball to Fugui, and looked back coldly at the "Juxian Tower" sign.

------

After returning to the palace, Zhu Bai went straight to the outside of the imperial study.

Erhu stood at the door of the imperial study room in the same posture that had not changed for thousands of years.

Zhu Bai leaned over and whispered: "Master Erhu, I have something to ask you for help."

Erhu didn't know what kind of monster Zhu Bai was going to be, and was very frightened: "Your Highness, don't be polite. If you have anything to do, just give me your orders."

Zhu Bai said: "You know there is a gathering of immortals in the city."

Although Erhu works in the palace all day long, his family's residence is outside the palace, so he should be familiar with Tiancheng than he is.

Erhu replied: "I know. So the boss made His Highness unhappy?"

If Zhu Bai was unhappy with a restaurant, he wouldn't even give him any orders, but would just ask the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to demolish it.
