Lu Zheng remained invisible all the way, following to a large courtyard in the north of the city. The plaque at the entrance read "Wang Residence," reminding him of the owner of this place.
Old Master Wang owned land outside the city and shops in the south of the city, making him a well-known wealthy household in Tonglin County. Lu Zheng had encountered him twice at the Leping Building and twice while strolling in the south of the city.
Their acquaintance was merely one of polite nods, with no deeper relationship. He hadn't expected Old Master Wang to have a cockfighting hobby.
Li the Fourth, carrying a large rooster, followed two servants into the side courtyard, bowing and scraping. There they saw Old Master Wang sitting in the courtyard with several servants standing by, and three chicken cages on the ground.
"I've heard your Red Heaven General has won three consecutive fights on the streets?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Li the Fourth nodded repeatedly.
