Following the sound, Zhen Wanwan saw that it was the gambling house manager who had chatted with Zhu Yuan yesterday.
Wang Facai smiled, his eyes crinkling. He was still wondering why Zhu Yuan hadn't gone to the gambling den last night.
It turned out that his wife had come looking for him.
Zhu Yuan instantly changed into a different mask and started chatting with Wang Facai.
"Manager Wang, are you free today? What brings you here?"
Wang Facai patted the money pouch in his pocket and said with a smile, "A new batch of goods recently arrived at the manor, and I've made quite a bit of money. I just finished delivering the goods to the higher-ups."
"Oh?" Zhu Yuan looked thoughtfully in the direction from which Wang Facai and the others had come.
He had been lurking in the gambling den, hoping to find out who the owner was.
He had always vaguely suspected that the gambling den was backed by the Prince of Yang.
After all, rebellion requires a lot of money, and casinos are the fastest way to make money.
As for why, out of so many casinos, he specifically noticed this one in Minnesota.
This was all because he had previously exposed the spies planted in Anqing Prefecture, and it took all sorts of means to get a word or two out of their mouths.
However, this was far from enough. Because this matter was extremely important, he brought everyone here to cut off the Yang King's source of wealth.
It's only after being here for so long that I've managed to get a little closer to Wang Facai. But Wang Facai looks honest and simple; in reality, he's very shrewd.
Moreover, he was very cautious. He had kept a close watch on him, but to no avail.
He never expected that today would bring him such a pleasant surprise.
Zhu Yuan raised an eyebrow, squeezed the money pouch that Zhen Wanwan had given him, and said with great confidence.
"My wife has just arrived in Mingzhou Prefecture, and I was worried about not having a gift for her. I wonder if I would have the honor of taking a look at Manager Wang's batch of goods?"
Wang Facai stared at the money bag in Zhu Yuan's hand, listening to the clinking of silver coins, and knew that there was definitely a lot inside.
"Given my relationship with Boss Zhen, I certainly wouldn't refuse if I had the goods. However, this batch is extremely rare and precious, and the only ones available have already been given to those above..."
Wang Facai looked around and pointed to the sky above.
Somewhat embarrassed, she explained, "Ms. Zhen, I'm sorry, I'm out of stock. What do you think..."
Zhen Wanwan's eyes darted around, and she grabbed Zhu Yuan and said in a spoiled manner, "Husband, so this is the Steward Wang you told me about! You always said that he is your best friend and the person who understands you the most... Basically, whatever you want, Steward Wang will find a way to get it for you."
"I don't think it's difficult for Steward Wang to find something new! Besides, I brought a lot of silver with me this time. We'll buy this whole street in Mingzhou Prefecture for you to play with!"
Manager Wang initially wanted to refuse, but after hearing Zhen Wanwan's praise and facing Zhu Yuan's sincere gaze, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.
He never expected that he had only taken advantage of Zhu Yuan's naivety and wealth, intending to swindle him a few times. He never imagined that the other party would be so guileless, taking his ulterior motives as genuine friendship.
He even told his wife at home how wonderful he was.
That said, is he really that perfect?
Wang Facai couldn't help but ponder to himself, but in his heart he had already agreed with what Zhen Wanwan had said.
He has worked so hard for so many years to finally get to this position, yet he has very few close friends.
Now that he finally has someone who understands him, Wang Facai is somewhat touched.
On the other side, listening to Zhen Wanwan's ramblings, Zhu Yuan helplessly suppressed a laugh.
His wife is really good at telling lies.
After Zhen Wanwan's five-minute praise session, Wang Facai decided to take them to ask their superiors.
On his way to speak with the people above, Wang Facai suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. How could he have been so foolish as to bring two outsiders here?!
Wang Facai regretted his decision and wanted to take Zhen Wanwan and Zhu Yuan back, but Zhen Wanwan had already run off ahead of them.
To avoid her running into anything she shouldn't, Wang Facai gritted his teeth and caught up with her.
Zhu Yuan followed closely behind Zhen Wanwan, but his attention was focused on the surrounding environment.
"Who goes there!"
