Lan Yue nodded in agreement. However, she also made a condition that she would bring a group of them and their things into the city.
Fan Li naturally agreed. Right now, my life is the most important thing, so I asked my younger brother to exchange money for someone else.
The onlookers' eyes turned red with envy. Five hundred taels, they had never seen so much money.
Looking at the group of cattle and horses, about twenty people, and goods behind Lan Yue, she secretly thought that these people must have a lot of background.
Otherwise, how could we have dealt with Fan Li and entered An City without fearing his power.
If it were anyone else, who would have the guts to go to Ancheng after taking the money? That was Fan Li's territory. If he wanted to take revenge, the city would be much more convenient than outside.
Don't look at the dozen or so people who followed Fan Li today. These are just part of his troops, most of them are in the city.
The person who can dominate Ancheng has always been arrogant and domineering. He suffered a big loss today and is still not allowed to regain his position.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, no one spoke out to remind him, and no one wanted to offend Fan Li.
As for Lan Yue and others, what does it have to do with them.
In the wasteland, a place that eats people without spitting out their bones, there are too few kind-hearted people. Anyone who doesn't have time to take care of themselves is already extremely difficult to stay alive.
Lan Xing helped organize the situation and followed Fan Li into the city with his people. The head money he brought was saved.
He was also worried about falling into a trap if he went to the city, so he mentioned it to Lan Yue secretly.
Lan Yue was not afraid and let everyone enter the city. She said: "It seems safe outside the city, but there are many people outside. They are all a group of people without money. Fan Li is not the only one who is jealous. He just got five hundred taels, and there are also a group of cattle and horses and a lot of goods. They are all there." Keep irritating those people and it will be less safe to stay.”
The excitement at the gate of the city has long been noticed by many people. The various forces in the city are mixed together, and the herd of cattle and horses is too eye-catching.
Before Lan Xing and the others entered the city, everyone who should know had received the news. Fan Li was frustrated and asked them to calm down for the time being and wait and see what would happen.
After mixing with Lin Yan, it was already an hour later. Fan Li personally led them to find someone in the city. No matter what he thought in his heart, he looked very respectful.
Lin Yan had already found a yard and was negotiating the rent when Lan Yue and the others arrived.
For a large yard, the rent is charged on a daily basis, one or two silver a day.
Gu Qing was ready to leave when he heard the price. It was too expensive and he couldn't afford to live there. But it was Lin Yan who made the decision, so he could only accompany him silently.
After looking at several houses, Lin Yan was most satisfied with this courtyard, which was big enough. The rent is just too high, and she is negotiating with the landlord.
The landlord is a native of Ancheng. He has lived in the city for generations. He is a shrewd old man named Bao Shigui. His family has small assets in Ancheng and is a businessman.
Even though Anseong is not that good, the housing prices are not cheap at all. A small courtyard, about 100 square meters, located in a remote location, would cost at least 100 taels to start with.
After asking about the house price, Lin Yan was speechless. It was much more expensive than the land in Sun City. The average price per square meter was less than two taels of silver.
In Sun Alliance today, one square meter of residential land costs only a dime to three cents, and this is the price after land prices have increased due to population growth.
Bao Shigui naturally knew Fan Li, and when he saw that the person he brought was on the same team as Lin Yan and the others, he immediately agreed to pay the rent for two days and two taels of silver.
Lin Yan was also happy and immediately decided to rent it for fifteen days and paid ten taels of rent. He would decide later based on the situation.
When the person was delivered, Fan Li didn't force him to stay and took the person away smoothly.
After Bao Shigui left, Lan Xing explained to Lin Yan in a low voice what happened outside the city.
Lin Yan didn't pay much attention and let everyone settle down first. The yard is large, but there are not many houses. There are only eight rooms. After everyone is allocated, they can only live in make do.
Gu Qing didn't want to take advantage of Lin Yan's money. He just wanted a place to sleep in the yard.
"I've taken advantage of you by coming here and taking advantage of it. Two rooms are enough, let's just squeeze in."
Gu Yi also said: "We are a bunch of rough guys, we can sleep anywhere, even in the yard. For the money you paid, we are very satisfied if we can sleep in the yard."
Lin Yan said with a smile: "We are all here together. There is no reason for us to live in the house and you sleep in the yard. We helped each other along the way and finally found a place to stay. Next, we have to ask the village chief to take us around Ancheng. . I can’t bear to give you two rooms to live in. If you sleep in the courtyard, you don’t regard us as your own.”
"No way, you are all good people. We can live in the two rooms." Gu Qing's face turned red and he could only accept it shamelessly. He knew that Lin Yan was the one who took care of Dahe Village, all the way.
He also understood that with Lin Yan's ability, his own people could not help at all and would only be a hindrance.
There were more houses. Lin Yan, Lan Yue and Wen Xue lived in one room, and the rest only had several people per room. After a day of hard work, they were very tired, so everyone settled down and rested early.
Lin Yan and the others did not sleep, but talked about today's events.
Fan Li's matter seems to have passed, but they all know that it is not that easy.
"Today, I walked around Ancheng. Ancheng is managed by the city lord's mansion. The city lord's surname is Shen. The Shen family is a big family in Ancheng, and Ancheng has always been managed by the Shen family. In addition to the Shen family, there are several other big families. The relationship is complicated. The management of Anseong is very chaotic, and life here is difficult if you have no power, no power, no background."
Wen Xue stayed outside the city with Lan Yue today and didn't know much about the city. "Fan Li also belongs to a big family?"
"Probably not. There is no one named Fan in the big family. Bao Shigui reminded him when he left that Fan Li has his back against the city lord's palace."
"Will the Shen family stand up for Fan Li?" Wen Xue was a little worried. They had just arrived and offended a force before they entered the city.
Lin Yan didn't know, "I can't say for sure. We'll find out later. If the Shen family comes forward, we will definitely suffer a loss. An city has a population of more than 100,000, the people are strong, and the city lord's palace has many guards, who can control a whole city." The city’s force value must not be low.”
Wen Xue said angrily: "We didn't take the initiative to provoke it, but we are asked to take the blame. This Ancheng is not as good as Sun City at all. Without legal constraints, it is difficult to reason."
"Yes, people's lives here are low, and it is useless to suppress them by force."
Lan Yue: "What are you afraid of? You can't fight head-on. If the worst happens, just leave." With Lin Yan and herself here, it shouldn't be difficult to leave the city without anyone noticing.
She looked carefully when she entered the city today. The city wall was three meters high, but she didn't have much hope of stopping them.
Lin Yan thought the same way. They didn't actively look for trouble along the way, but they weren't afraid of it either. It's not their style not to fight back when someone bullies them.
You've already come in, so just wait with peace of mind.
After the three chatted, they slept peacefully.
In the dead of night, a few dark shadows outside the courtyard climbed over the courtyard wall and slipped in easily.
The cows and horses were tied up in the backyard, and the shadow found the place without much effort.
