"This gang of robbers must have robbed many visiting merchants, so they've set their sights on me. We've caught them and are handing them over to you, sir, to deal with."
Xie Wanyun spoke calmly, without mentioning the danger at that time.
The officials' eyes lit up, and they were especially excited when they saw the scarred head of the leader, Heifeng.
This gang of robbers was extremely ferocious and ruthless. They not only robbed people of their money, but also killed countless people. The authorities had tried to round them up several times but failed to catch them. Unexpectedly, they fell into the hands of Mrs. Xie.
The day before yesterday, he had just received an order from his superior, giving him ten days to apprehend these thieves. He was worrying about where to find these elusive robbers, when these robbers were tied up and brought to his door.
He is so lucky!
"That's great! Thank you so much, ma'am." The people of Mobei didn't have so many official rules. The official was grateful and touched his chest with his right hand, bent down, and saluted solemnly.
Xie Wanyun quickly returned the gift and said politely, "Your Excellency, there is no need to be so. I just happened to do this. It can be regarded as getting rid of an evil for the people."
The official laughed heartily. "Madam Xie, since you are so generous! How can we, from Mobei, be stingy? Madam, please wait a moment. I will present the application to the Prince."
Xie Wanyun curled the corners of her lips. It was a good thing that this group of robbers came at the right time, otherwise it would have taken her a long time.
In less than half an hour, the official came back with Prince Ilkhan's personal reply.
"From now on, the prosperity of the Wangting Market will depend on Madam Xie. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."
"Your Excellency is too polite. How can I accept this?" Xie Wanyun felt relieved after receiving the approval.
As soon as the group arrived at the booked inn and settled down, Xie Wanyun hurried to the street to check the market.
Yuzhu looked at the weather and said, "Madam, since we are already here, there is no need to rush. It is so cold, maybe it will snow again."
"It's okay. In Mobei, it will snow even in June. It's better to adapt to it as soon as possible." Xie Wanyun put on a veil hat, and the long veil hung down, covering her face.
Xie Wanyun planned to open a shop in the South City. Although the North City was more densely populated, it was a mess, and the residents were mostly peddlers and hawkers.
The Xie family business had come all the way here, pursuing a high-end business model, catering to the upper class of the royal court. Once they had established themselves, they could potentially do some lower-end business along the way, but Xie Wanyun had no such plans at the moment.
Not long after I walked out, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
People in Mobei have long been accustomed to such weather, and the flow of people on the streets has not decreased at all.
The aroma of baked buns and roasted lamb sold along the street is fragrant.
The royal court was vast and sparsely populated, and the streets were spacious enough to accommodate six carriages running side by side.
The buildings are lined up one after another, and there are all kinds of shops lined up one after another, with a wide variety of goods.
There is a constant stream of pedestrians dressed in various clothes. In addition to people from Mobei and the Central Plains, there are also Caucasians and Central Asians from the far west, speaking in various accents, bargaining, and shouting to attract customers. Although it is not as prosperous as the big cities in the Central Plains, it has a unique exotic charm.
Everyone was visiting Mobei for the first time, and they were all very curious. They touched this and looked at that. The most common items were furs and spices, but there was also jewelry. There were also various wool blankets brought in by Central Asian merchants. They were exquisitely crafted, with a wide variety of patterns and colors, and were so beautiful that they were hard to put down.
Besides these, there were also household utensils, rouge and powder, but they were all rather coarse and inferior to the goods in the capital.
Seeing a large silk shop in front of her, Xie Wanyun walked in. The shop assistant was very smart. Seeing that she was dressed like a Central Plains person and had an extraordinary demeanor, he quickly stepped forward to greet her.
Xie Wanyun listened attentively to the shop assistant's introduction while carefully examining the merchandise. She had been walking around for half a day, looking at many shops. This one had a relatively complete selection, but it still seemed a bit lacking in quality.
The silks were incomplete in variety, the patterns were old and monotonous, and they were styles from a few years ago. Not to mention ready-made clothes, even the servants of the Xie family would not wear such styles and workmanship.
