Chapter 13 Arriving at Anping Mansion
“Shen Xiang would like to thank his benefactor for his help. I dare to ask him his name. There will be great rewards in the future.”
Pei Xuanjing calmed down his anger, waved his hand and said: " I’m Pei Xuanjing, Mr. Shen There is no need for this. It is our duty as warriors to help when there is an injustice."
From the strength that Pei Xuanjing showed just now, Shen Xiang knew that the opponent's strength was at least a sixth-grade warrior, so he behaved very respectfully. .
"No matter what, it is a life-saving grace for us. I would like to ask my benefactor to accept my bow." Shen Xiang bowed.
Pei Xuanjing reached out to support the other party and shook his head: "Don't do this."
He glanced at the tragic scene behind him and said, "Boss Shen should deal with some subsequent matters first."
>Chen Xiang sighed and nodded: "In that case, please wait a moment."
Waiting for Shen Xiang to leave, Pei Xuanjing put away his sword, returned to his mount, and took out a package from the package on the horse's back. Take a pill. This is a pill he extracted from the essence of medicinal materials, which can be used to replenish the vitality.
Although his last sword move that instantly killed the bandit leader looked majestic, it actually consumed a lot of energy. He could only use it no more than three times. After three times, the energy in his body would be exhausted. clean.
After a while, Shen Xiang settled the caravan's affairs and came over to talk to Pei Xuanjing. He first expressed his intention to give Pei Xuanjing property as a token of gratitude, but Pei Xuanjing strongly refused.
While the two were talking, they learned that Pei Xuanjing had the same goal as them, and immediately strongly invited the other party to join them.
On the one hand, he wanted to wait for Pei Xuanjing to arrive at Anping Mansion before repaying him. On the other hand, he wanted to go on the road with such a master, which would naturally be much safer.
All the way. Regarding this savior, except for some secrets related to Shen's Chamber of Commerce, Shen Xiang could not tell him, but Pei Xuanjing knew everything about the rest when he asked.
After all, for Shen Xiang, a sixth-grade master is considered a first-class master even in Anping Mansion. Being able to have a close relationship with such a master is beneficial to both the Chamber of Commerce and him personally. harmful things.
In this way, on the way to Anping Mansion, Pei Xuanjing also learned about the entire Anping Mansion, and he was no longer as blind as before.
Anping Mansion is one of the major counties in the Northwest Road. The most powerful person is of course the government official appointed by the imperial court. He is a fourth-rank official and is in charge of all government affairs of the county.
Under it are the two major institutions of violence belonging to the imperial court, Liumen and Qianhusuo. Liumen is responsible for the internal security and criminal affairs, while Qianhusuo is in charge of garrison soldiers. Generally, it is only responsible to the state road guard commander and envoys, and is not under the jurisdiction of the government officials.
As for the Jinyiwei and the East and West factories that Pei Xuanjing was curious about, Chen Xiang was a little taboo and just told him quietly that there were no such institutions in the county government.
Pei Xuanjing drew his own conjecture from the other party's cryptic information. This kind of spy agency is directly under the emperor. This kind of agency will not set up a visible base in the county. According to Chen Xiang's instructions Information, these agencies will only have strongholds in the jurisdictions where state roads are located.
This is an official force and also symbolizes the dominance of the Ming Empire. As for the civil forces below, what everyone calls Jianghu, there are several other forces.
In addition to their Shen Chamber of Commerce, there are two other aristocratic families, Jin and Liu, that need attention. After all, in addition to having influence in the world, these aristocratic families also have some connections with the government, so they can be considered as taking both sides. The remaining small forces and small sects are not very popular. If we use a simple and crude classification, it is that the Ming government is the strongest. Whether it is a six-door or a thousand-household office, there is more than one fourth-grade warrior in charge. They set the rules of the game for the entire Anping Prefecture, and everyone needs to act according to their rules.
As for the Shen Chamber of Commerce and the Jin and Liu families, although they are not as strong as the government, they still have fourth-grade warriors in charge, and they can obtain certain authority from the rules set by the government. , master some rules and get a benefit.
As for the rest, as long as there are no fourth-grade warriors, they can only obey the rules and cannot violate or question the rules here.
There are clear levels, one layer upon another.
However, according to Chen Xiang's words, not to mention that Pei Xuanjing himself is a sixth-grade strong man. He is originally a middle-level existence in this rule, just because the other party is from his Shen Chamber of Commerce. You don't need to care about the saviors, they will help Pei Xuanjing avoid unnecessary troubles.
Pei Xuanjing just smiled at Chen Xiang's words without commenting.
Over the years, he has become accustomed to relying on himself for everything, and he must not put everything on others. Even if you save the other person's life, so what, if one person seeks repayment, he will inevitably end up turning against the other person.
In this way, the group of people walked and walked, and after half a month, they finally arrived at Anping Mansion.
In a high-class courtyard in Shen's Inn, Chen Xiang said to Pei Xuanjing, "Brother Pei, this is an estate under our Shen family's name. See if you are satisfied."
Pei Xuanjing looked at it In this courtyard, he nodded, "Then you're welcome. "
Chen Xiang laughed and said, "In that case, how about you settle here first and wait for me to find a good place for you in the next few days, and then you can move there?"
"So, I'm sorry for bothering Brother Shen." Pei Xuanjing expressed his gratitude.
He estimated that he would stay here for a long time and could not stay in the Shen family's inn for a long time, so he asked the other party to help him find a yard. Whether he rented or bought, he could use it as a place to stay. land.
Chen Xiang waved his hand, "Brother Pei, please don't be polite. It's been a long and tiring journey these days, so you should have a good rest first. The Chamber of Commerce still has some things that I need to handle, so I will leave first and won't disturb you anymore."
After finishing speaking, he added: "What you said before requires I will go back and see if I have what I want at home, and then ask if anyone is interested in taking action."
Pei Xuanjing clasped his fists, "Thank you."
What the two of them were talking about was. Pei Xuanjing asked the other party to buy some exercise manuals for him.
The purpose of Pei Xuanjing's travels was to search for these martial arts handbooks and Zan Daoyun. However, because he had just arrived, he did not have any channels or connections, so he could only use Chen Xiang's connections to do this.
As for Pei Xuanjing's request, Chen Xiang agreed without thinking. After all, what Pei Xuanjing wanted was not a profound skill, but just some notes left by his predecessors. This thing was not expensive and could be used for... There is nothing better than a favor.
