You can take bus 7 to Wang's compound with CNY2 and 40 minutes, or you can take taxi with around CNY15 to there. I'm not sure whether you can take taxi to Zhangbi because it is in another city.

The time is too tight. Pingyao ancient city is worth visiting 1-2 days. I'm afraid there is no taxi between them. From Pingyao Coach station, the bus deaparts at 7:10 and 13:20 every day. From Wang's compound, it departs at 11:00 and 16:30.

Well, Lingshi County more convenient and the courtyard is located in that county. I remember bus no. 7 leading to the courtyard is reachable at Lingshi Railway Station.
