The Wang family was acquainted with the old scholar, so it was only right for him to address him as an elder.
Seeing that Zhang Feng had made his decision, Jia Daoren did not say anything more. He nodded and said, "Master, how many people are you going to bring? After all, this is Jiangnan, so we have to be careful. "
Zhang Feng glanced at the guards and asked hesitantly, "Where are Gao Kan, Hao Chujun, and the others?"
"They all went out to look for a house. When Gao Kan heard that no one would buy it for us, he almost went to the county office. If Hao Chujun had not stopped him, the county office would have been in a mess." Jia Daoren thought of what had just happened and smiled bitterly.
"That old man is too dishonest, and he even wants Chujun. What's the use of going to the county office for this kind of thing? He's brainless. "
Zhang Feng couldn't help but curse inwardly. After letting out a long breath, he turned to Yu Baoqing and said, "Baoqing, take ten guards with you and come with me."
Yu Baoqing nodded and went to the yard to get the guards.
"Master, will ten people be enough?" Jia Daoren asked worriedly.
"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Feng waved his hand and said carelessly, "Gao Kan still has the commander's seal. Although he can't mobilize the troops, it's enough to keep Jiangnan under control. Who dares to touch me? Let's go. "
With that, he turned and walked out of the door.
He boarded the carriage and drove to the canal street.
After a while, the horse neighed and the carriage slowly came to a stop.
"Fengzi, we've arrived at the place you said." Yuchi Baoqing's voice came from outside the carriage.
Zhang Feng answered casually and stepped out of the carriage.
As soon as he got out, he saw a huge mansion. Although the mansion was big, it was slightly dilapidated. There were obvious cracks on the stone lion at the door, and the paint on the pillars had fallen off because of old age. There were even obvious marks on the door.
At first glance, it looked like a down and out mansion.
If Zhang Feng had not seen the huge plaque with the words "Prince's Mansion" written on it, he would have suspected that he had come to the wrong place.
"Baoqing, are you sure we're not at the wrong place?"
Zhang Feng looked at the plaque and asked suspiciously.
Yuchi Baoqing scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. "Feng Zi, I came here according to the address you gave me. What's wrong with that?"
Zhang Feng let out a long sigh. It seemed that he had overestimated the Prince's Mansion. Such a dilapidated mansion, he was afraid that it had been built for a long time.
"Let's go in and take a look."
He waved his hand, gesturing for them to enter.
As he spoke, he strode towards the manor.
As soon as he stepped on the stairs, a shout came, "Who's there? Stop. "
Zhang Feng was stunned. He stopped and took a closer look. It turned out that two men dressed in servant's clothing had rushed out.
He smiled and said, "I'm here to pay a visit to your master."
"Pay a visit to Master?"
The two servants looked at each other. The leader stepped forward and asked in surprise, "Which family are you from? What business do you have with my master? "
Zhang Feng could not help but smile bitterly. Wasn't this servant too cautious?
It seemed that he was often bullied by the clan.
He smiled and expressed his goodwill. "I'm an old friend of your master. You can go ahead and report that Mister Zihuai asked me to come."
The leader of the servants narrowed his eyes and carefully examined Zhang Feng. Then, he turned to the other servant and whispered something to him. Then, he rushed into the manor.
After about half an hour, the servant walked out. However, he was no longer as cautious as before. He was full of smiles. "So it's an esteemed guest. I didn't know that I had offended you. I'm really sorry. Please follow me."
Zhang Feng smiled and did not intend to make a fuss. After all, the Wang Clan was already in dire straits. It was not wrong to be cautious.
He waved his hand and indicated for Yuchi Baolin to follow closely behind him. Then, he followed the servant into the manor.
As soon as he entered, he saw a large pond. There were many koi fish and lotus flowers in the pond. There were many fake mountains above the pond. In addition to some flowing water, it was like a landscape painting.
It could be seen that the owner of this manor was a person who cultivated his character.
Walking further in, there was a long corridor with dozens of pillars standing in great numbers.
There were many flowers, birds, fish, and insects carved on them. However, the exquisite carvings had been eroded by time. Many of the lifelike animals could no longer be seen clearly.
After passing through the corridor, a large hall came into view.
The pillars supporting the hall were the same as the pillars in the corridor. They were dilapidated.
"Young Master, my master is in the hall. Please enter on your own. I'll go make tea for you." The servant bowed and said.
Zhang Feng did not reply. He only nodded slightly.
Then, he strode into the hall.
The hall looked very spacious. It was even larger than the Zhang Manor. However, it was empty. There were many tables with flowers, porcelain, and other decorations. There was even some light dust on them.
