Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

I have been in Jiangnan City for several days.

During this period of time, Gu Chan has been busy getting on her feet, so she has no time to go out for a walk.

Now that she really took Baihu out for a stroll, she discovered that Jiangnan City was indeed much more luxurious than Zhongyuan City. First of all, the buildings here all looked very new, unlike Zhongyuan City, which had some dilapidated buildings and refugee areas like the North District.

It can be said that there is no such place as a refugee area in Jiangnan City. There are just more beggars on the streets. But unlike the refugees in Zhongyuan City, even beggars can live well here.

Secondly, there are a wide variety of shops here. Inns, taverns, gambling houses, etc. are all standard. However, the red shops and salt shops, etc., are rarely seen in Zhongyuan City.

Gu Chan sat on the back of the white fox, looking at the bustling scene on the street, a smile appeared on her face.

How she wished that the situation on the other side of the border could be like this, where the common people could all earn money and live a prosperous life.

"Everyone, come and have a look! Our Master Chang is offering 5,000 gold coins to find talented people. Anyone who has the ability can come to me now to sign up. I will take everyone to meet Master Chang."

Just as Gu Chan was distracted, a shout suddenly came from the right side of the street ahead.

Many people gathered around looking for the sound.

Gu Chan also looked over there and said to the white fox under her, "Let's go over there and take a look."

[Master, why don’t we just not go over there and take a walk before returning to avoid getting ourselves into trouble.] said the white fox.

"Oh! I feel like something's wrong with you! Ever since you transformed and grew up, you seem to have become more and more afraid of trouble. Have you become less courageous?" Gu Chan said unhappily.

When it was still a little white fox, it was very brave! After it transformed and grew up, it seemed to have changed its personality, which naturally made Gu Chan feel a little speechless.

The white fox said helplessly, "People will change, let alone us mysterious beasts. I have only become more cautious now. And I promised Ma Zheng that I would protect you well for him. I can't let you do whatever you want."

"Tsk! It turns out that Ma Zheng whispered something in your ear before he left!" Gu Chan said, pretending to be angry.

Although she looked a little angry, she felt warm inside.

Whether it is Ma Zheng or Bai Hu, they both care about her very much. The feeling of being cared for is really good.

The white fox was afraid that Gu Chan would get angry, so he said, "Then go over and join in the fun, watch for a while and then leave. You can't get involved in any trouble."

"Let's go and take a look first. If it finds it interesting, there's no harm in going for some fun." Gu Chan said with a smile.

The white fox sighed helplessly, having no way to deal with its master, and could only slowly walk towards the crowd over there.

Soon Gu Chan and the white fox came to the back of the crowd. Because the white fox was larger, Gu Chan sat on its back and could see the situation ahead clearly by just raising her head slightly.

At this time, a man was seen standing in the circle holding a reward in his hand, showing it to everyone.

The content of the bounty order was roughly that the son of a wealthy family named Chang in Jiangnan City was recruiting extraordinary people to help him catch a mysterious beast. The bounty was five thousand taels of gold. As for where to catch the mysterious beast and what kind of mysterious beast it was, it was not stated on the bounty order.

The man was in no hurry to explain, he just shouted to everyone, "Anyone with great abilities please come and sign up, if there are any, please respond quickly and stand behind me and wait."

"Yes, let me try."

"I'll try too."

"And I."

As the man finished speaking, loud shouts rang out all around, and then more than a dozen people stood up and walked behind him to stand waiting.

These dozen people are a mix of men and women, and none of them looks like a good person.

Gu Chan touched her chin and muttered to herself, "I don't have anything to do today anyway, so why not go along and have some fun? I can also get to know the son of a wealthy family, which is a good choice."

[Ah! I knew I couldn't stop you. I really don't know what to do with you.] The white fox sighed.

Gu Chan chuckled and immediately raised her hand and shouted, "Me too."

Everyone turned their heads to look at her, and the man standing in the circle also stared at her and said, "Little brother, my young master recruits extraordinary people, not children, so don't come and make trouble."

"Oh my god, look at this white fox beast I'm riding, it's not simple at all, so how can I be simple?" Gu Chan said with a big laugh.

The man smiled awkwardly and could only say, "Okay! Then you have to go with me. If anything happens, our Chang family will not be responsible."

"Don't worry, I want to go there voluntarily. Your Chang family doesn't have to be responsible for it." Gu Chan said, patting his chest.

Then she rode the white fox, pushed through the crowd and stepped into the circle, stood behind the man, and stood in a row with the dozen or so people, waiting quietly.

The man yelled again, "Are there any more people signing up? If not, I'll take them away with me."

No one answered and no one dared to stand up.

The man folded the bounty order, put it in his arms, and immediately left with Gu Chan and others, heading east towards the Chang family.

Half an hour later, everyone arrived outside the gate of Chang Mansion.

Gu Chan looked up and found that the Chang Mansion was quite large, even larger than the county government office in Zhongyuan City, and it was also built very luxuriously. This was enough to prove that the Chang family was a genuine wealthy family in Jiangnan City, and was by no means comparable to ordinary wealthy families.

The man looked at the crowd and said, "You guys line up at the door and wait. I'll go in and report to our young master."

After saying this, he quickly ran into Chang's house and went to report.

Gu Chan and a dozen others stood at the door waiting quietly.

While waiting, Gu Chan looked at the tall and strong man standing beside her who was over 1.8 meters tall and said, "Brother, I'm from another place and have only been in Jiangnan City for a few days. What is the origin of this Chang family?"

"Little brother, the Chang family is one of the largest families among the first-class wealthy families in the Jiangnan area. The old man of the Chang family started his fortune by selling private salt. Later, the Chang family became bigger and bigger and got in touch with the government. Now the salt transportation business in the entire Jiangnan area is controlled by the Chang family." The strong man said in a rough voice.

Gu Chan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she was quite surprised.

She never expected that the Chang family was so powerful.

You know, the salt transportation industry has been very profitable since ancient times. The Chang family can take control of all the salt transportation businesses in the Jiangnan area. Doesn't that mean they can collect money just by sitting there every day?

It just so happened that she came to Jiangnan this time to make money, so it would be a good thing to have more contact with such wealthy people.

This means that she was lucky to have run into this incident by accident and then ran to the Chang family.
