How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

"It turned out to be true."

Seeing Xie Chengze recognized him, the big boss couldn't help but frown, and touched the tiger-head axe on his waist with some annoyance, "What are you doing here, a little girl from the capital? And you come to our Qianjin Village. Now, it's wrong to let you go, and it's wrong not to let you go!"

In order to avoid trouble with the government, they always disguised themselves as merchants and went to Heihu Mountain to rob. They have been living in peace for all these years and no one knew that there was a Qianjin Village on Qiantai Mountain.

But now, they have abducted the daughter of a high-ranking official and are directly at odds with the imperial court!

If they let her go, the imperial court might send troops to destroy Qianjin Village. If they don't let her go, the imperial court's troops will come and destroy Qianjin Village anyway.

"That is to say, what are you, a little girl from Beijing, doing here in this desolate mountain area?" Xie Chengze also asked.

Sheng Yiren secretly glanced at Xie Chengze, knowing that he was asking her why she came to Qiantai Mountain, so she said, "I heard that there are good things on Qiantai Mountain, so I wanted to come and see if it's true."

The Second Prince asked her to find someone to inquire about the mountain that would self-immolate. A few days ago, a merchant in Liaozhou wrote back to her, saying that Qiantai Mountain had burned twice before. She thought about exploring the area first to see what was on the self-immolating mountain that the Second Prince specifically ordered to find.

Maybe it's a business opportunity?

She heard that there were no bandits in Qiantai Mountain, so she had the courage to go up the mountain, but who would have thought that there were bandits in Qiantai Mountain!

If Shen Yuan hadn't happened to be here, she would have almost become the boss's wife!

The eldest boss still didn't believe Sheng Yiren's words, "What good things can there be in Qiantai Mountain? Have you been fooled? There are only some broken herbs on this mountain, which are not worth much money."

"That's not necessarily true!" Sheng Yiren immediately retorted, "It's just that you don't recognize the real thing!"

"What a joke! I've been here for several years. I'd know where there is an ant on this mountain!" The big boss was also stubborn. He immediately put his hands on his waist and asked in a voice as loud as a tiger's roar, "Then tell me, what good things are there in Qiantai Mountain?"

"This... I haven't even found it yet, but you've already captured me and taken me into the village?" Sheng Yiren choked and retorted, "Why are you shouting so loudly! I'm not deaf! Besides, doing business is not robbery. You need to find it yourself, not wait for others to come to you!"

"Hey you!" The boss was so angry at her implication that he wanted to beat her up.

"Don't be angry, boss." Xie Chengze spoke at this time, smiling, "What this girl said makes sense. My family is also in business. Didn't I also follow my ex-husband to travel around the country to find profitable business?"

"That's right! Look, the second-in-command's wife also said so!" Sheng Yiren took advantage of the fact that Xie Chengze and Shen Yuan were there, and immediately stood up, "If you don't understand, then don't say anything! Do you understand business or do you understand business?"

Hearing the name "Madam Second Master", Second Master was very pleased and couldn't help but say, "Yes, big brother, if those merchants don't travel far and wide, where can we find people to rob?"

"Whatever!" The big boss snorted, "Anyway, I don't believe there is anything good in Qiantai Mountain!"

"That's wrong." Xie Chengze shook his head. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he coughed lightly and smiled, "Isn't there Qianjin Village in Qiantai Mountain? In my opinion, Qianjin Village is the best thing on the mountain."

"Hey! I like what my sister-in-law said!" The eldest boss was immediately happy and said to Sheng Yiren, "Little bitch from Beijing, you should learn from her! You are still doing business, but you can't even say a nice word!"

Sheng Yiren: ???

Doesn't she know how to speak? She doesn't want to speak!

"Second Master, this lady is hungry." After confirming that Shen Yuan was here, Xie Chengze finally felt relieved. He stood up and gathered his red fur coat, and asked lazily, "Is there a clean and spacious house here? This lady's residence cannot be made do with anything."

"Oh, then I'll ask someone to clean up a room for you." The second in command scratched his head, "Why don't you sit here and wait?"

It was the first time that the Second In Command met such a beautiful lady, and he really didn’t know how to serve her, so he had no choice but to ask “her” opinion in advance.

Seeing this, Sheng Yiren quickly said, "Why don't you come to my place, Madam? It's so cold staying in this lobby. I have a newly built heated kang in my room, it's very warm!"

Although she was abducted, Sheng Yiren had to admit that she was treated very well in the mountain village. She didn't know whether it was because the bandits here were particularly indulgent towards women, or because Shen Yuan mediated between them, or both.

The Second in Command looked at Xie Chengze, who nodded his chin proudly and agreed, "Alright. My wife wants to eat meat tonight, Second in Command, when you've cooked it, ask someone to bring it over."

After saying that, he took Sheng Yiren's arm with a smile and left the lobby with graceful steps.

The eldest boss sighed, "Why does it feel like she's back home? She's not polite at all!"

The second in command chuckled, "Doesn't this just prove that she has a connection with our village?"

The big boss twitched his lips and said, "Look at what you have accomplished."

"Second Master, my sister-in-law demands perfection in everything, so her taste must be very picky. If you want to cook for her, it's best to ask someone she knows well."

At the side, Shen Yuan smiled and kindly reminded, "Otherwise, I'm afraid they will accuse you of dealing with him again."

"Oh, right!" The second in command slapped his hands and said thankfully, "Although I don't like you, you are right!"

After saying that, he hurriedly left the lobby, apparently to find Hu Lai.

"Boss, my sister-in-law has also seen it, so I won't bother you anymore." Shen Yuan clasped his fists towards the boss and said, "As for what we talked about yesterday, you can think about it more. I'm not in a hurry."

"Well... let me think about this matter again." The boss nodded, his face becoming more serious.

"Then I'll go back to the house." Shen Yuan bent down and put the white fur coat on the bench back on himself, taking in the remaining body temperature of the man.

A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he stepped out of the stockade lobby and walked towards his room.

He needed to conserve his energy before visiting the "boudoir" at night.

……

"Your Highness!" As soon as she entered the room, Sheng Yiren was about to bow.

Xie Chengze stopped her and said, "Now I am not the second prince, but the merchant's wife Shen Yuanyuan. No need to be polite."

Shen Yuanyuan?

Sheng Yiren was a little confused as to why Xie Chengze called him by this name, just like she was confused as to why Shen Yuan called him Xie Daqiang. However, she was more curious than that, "Why is His Highness here?!"

"Ahem." Xie Chengze patted her shoulder and gave her a meaningful look, "What do you think?"

"You really are here to save me!" Sheng Yiren's eyes suddenly turned red, and she was deeply moved and said, "Second Prince! Why would I risk my life in such a way?"

"..." You said that, but I didn't say anything. Xie Chengze touched his nose, neither admitting nor denying, looking like a scumbag. "Did you find anything when you came to Qiantai Mountain?"

"No." Sheng Yiren shook her head regretfully. "I am so unlucky. Not long after I went up the mountain, I ran into bandits who were coming down the mountain to rob. Then I was abducted and brought back. Then I found that Lord Shen was also here."

"Was Shen Yuan captured by them?" Xie Chengze asked secretly.

"Well...right? He refused to tell me what he was going to do, saying that the less I knew, the safer I would be." Sheng Yiren whispered, "But the big boss's martial arts are very strong. Shen Yuan said that even if he took action, both sides would probably suffer losses."

Xie Chengze was surprised, "So amazing?"

But why is his name never mentioned in the book?

Such a powerful person shouldn't starve to death on the snowy mountains, right?
