Chapter 25: Anning County

After passing the mountain road that called himself the "Heishan Gang" thieves, the road to Anning County was peaceful, and there were no people who had robbed the road.

Zhu Yunwen and his party finally arrived in Anning County at dusk.

Zhu Yunwen stopped the guards from notifying the government and said in a deep voice: "We cannot live in the government office, but our money has been looted again, so we can only find merchants here to stay."

Zhu Xiu'er glanced at Zhu Yunwen strangely and asked, "Why can't we live in the government? We can just show our identities."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said, "No, listen to me and find a merchant."

What else Zhu Xiu'er wanted to say? Li Shanshan pulled her hand and shook her head gently.

Zhu Yunwen said to Xiao Leizi and the four guards: "From now on, we are merchants from Yingtian. We were robbed by bandits on the way. Do you understand?"

The guard and Xiao Leizi nodded, paused Zhu Yunwen and said to the guard: "Now you go and see if there are any merchants who are willing to take us in. Without us having any other plans, Xiao Leizi stays by my side."

"yes."

Looking at the guards' figures leaving, Zhu Yunwen turned around and said to the four girls: "You are with me, don't leave me too far. Follow my command in everything."

The fourth woman nodded, Xiao Leizi hesitated for a moment and said to Zhu Yunwen: "Young Master, the water in Xi'an is very deep. Your Highness came here without any knowledge. It proved that there were high-ranking officials colluding with Lord Chang and His Highness from Lord Chang. Or, Lord Chang knew some of the situation, but he did not dare to tell the Prince, "Young Master, it's too dangerous, why don't we leave first."

Zhu Yunwen didn't speak for a long time, and then he looked at Anning County, looked at the people who were coming and going in Anning County, and said slowly: "I will make Anning County the same name as it."

"Yes." Xiao Leizi responded, and Zhu Yunwen had already made his decision. Zhu Yunwen whispered to Xiao Leizi at this time. Xiao Leizi nodded repeatedly and finally gave Xiao Leizi something.

Xiao Leizi looked at Zhu Yunwen deeply and said, "This trip did not tell Lord Chang where he went, so no one knew our identity. Please be careful and put safety first."

Zhu Yunwen nodded. At this time, the guard who had just left came back. The guard led by him ran over and saluted: "Report to your highness that a merchant is willing to take us in."

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said to the guard: "Okay, take us there."

"yes."

Zhu Yunwen turned around and said a little apologetically to Li Shanshan and Zhu Xiuer: "I was tired just now, but now I have to feel wronged that you are going to live in a merchant's house."

Li Shanshan said rationally: "Your husband doesn't need to say that. We were originally going to come, but we dragged down our husband." Zhu Xiuer nodded in agreement.

Zhu Yunwen didn't say anything. Under the leadership of the guard, after walking for about five minutes, everyone came to an ancient house. From outside, the house was very large, with the vermilion gate and the stone-gray walls all revealed a sense of vicissitudes.

There was already a man waiting outside the door, about fifty or sixty years old, his hair was a little white and his face had many wrinkles.

Seeing Zhu Yunwen and others brought by the guards, the man clasped his fists and said, "I am Qian Wande, the house of Qian's family. This house is where the Qian family is."

Zhu Yunwen nodded and smiled and said, "My wife and I came here to travel for business. Unexpectedly, we met a villain on the way. The Qian family allowed me to live with my wife and servants for a while. Zhu was very grateful."

"A small matter is not worth mentioning." Qian Wande thought for a while and said, "I wonder what Mr. Zhu does?"

Zhu Yunwen had a long answer in his heart and said without any rush: "My father used to be a silk merchant in Yingtian. My son inherited his father's business and also did some silk business. I wonder what kind of business the Qian family does?"

Qian Wandeen said, "It's a coincidence. Just like the young master, the master has been in silk business since his ancestors." Qian Wande pondered for a while and continued, "Young Master Zhu doesn't have to worry. I know a little about this bad guy who calls himself the "Heishan Gang". They only rob foreign merchants, and the same group of people only robbed once. Next time, the Heishan Gang will not make things difficult for you."

When Zhu Yunwen heard Qian Wande say this, he exchanged glances with Xiao Leizi, and became more sure of his guess.

Qian Wande said to Zhu Yunwen: "Since that's the case, Mr. Zhu will go in with Qian."

Zhu Yunwen responded, greeted everyone, and followed Qian Wande into the courtyard.

Qian Wande first led his group into the main hall. After Zhu Yunwen all entered, he said to the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat: "Master, all the guests have arrived."

The middle-aged man nodded and stood up and said to Zhu Yunwen: "I am Qian Ren, the head of the Qian family. The visitor is a guest. I also ask my little brother to rest well and can leave when the New Year is over."

Zhu Yunwen clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Mr. Qian, Zhu remembers the kindness of taking in today's care."

Qian Ren smiled and shook his head without saying anything, as if he didn't take Zhu Yunwen's words in his heart. Qian Ren greeted a servant and said, "Take the guests to the guest room."

"Yes, Master."

Zhu Yunwen was about to move, but at this time, a woman's voice sounded from the door behind the yard:

"Please wait! Mr. Zhu stays there."
