Chapter 1785 Xue Family
"So powerful? What do these people do? They can come and go like this without being checked?"
"Interrogate them?"
The vendor couldn't help but laugh. "White Dragon City has no owner, but it's home to the most shops and a lot of money. There's no guarantee someone would try to commit crimes and start unprofitable businesses. If that were the case, White Dragon City would be in chaos. But look at the people on the streets right now. They're all well-behaved. There's hardly any robbery, let alone stealing. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Although Bailong City is ownerless, several wealthy families have provided funds to support soldiers to protect the stability of Bailong City and to patrol the city."
“…”
"As soon as there's any disorder, they'll immediately come out to punish it. There's no government here, but there are laws. If they're caught murdering or robbing someone, they'll be beheaded in the street as a severe punishment."
“…”
"The Xue family supports half of the troops in this city."
“…”
"They are guarding the city gates, so who would question them?"
Hearing this, Xiao Shunzi nodded: "So that's how it is."
Then he asked, "So they're going in and out like this, are they on patrol?"
The vendor shook his head and said, "They're not patrolling, but they don't need to go so far. Are they only in charge of White Dragon City?"
"Then why are they leaving the city?"
"What else can I do? Find someone."
"Looking for someone? Who?"
"Looking for his daughter."
"Miss Xue—"
Hearing this, Xiao Shunzi stopped immediately and looked back. Nan Yan in the carriage lifted the curtain and naturally heard these words, but she remained calm.
She had probably guessed it when she heard that those people were from the Xue family and were out looking for someone.
However, there was still a lot of shock in my heart.
The Xue family is looking for Miss Xue.
She glanced at Zhu Feng, who didn't show much surprise. He thought for a moment and then said, "Excuse me, where is the Xue family?"
The peddler originally thought that they were just outsiders who saw the Xue family and asked a few questions. But after hearing what they said, he found that they seemed to be coming for the Xue family.
Glanced at them a few times.
Then he said, "You guys, aren't coming here to cause trouble for them, are you?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "We are here just to do business and buy some things from the Xue family."
"Are you buying things from the Xue family?"
The vendor's expression was even stranger, and he looked them up and down as if he was looking at some monster.
After a long while, he said, "Their shop is just ahead. Turn east at the end of the road and you'll find a shop called 'Dongxitang'. You—"
As he said that, he looked at them again.
Then he shrank his neck and whispered to the people around him.
Zhu Feng felt a little strange.
However, judging from the situation, it seemed that nothing could be learned from him, so he did not say much and let Xiao Shunzi follow, and the group continued to move forward.
The road is long.
In addition, there were many pedestrians on the road, and their horses could not move smoothly. After half an hour, they finally reached the end of the street.
Ahead is a wider road.
This is the main road that runs across Bailong City from east to west. It is wider than the previous street and more prosperous than the place they just came from.
As soon as they set foot here, their eyes were dazzled.
