The merchants from the southwest were blindfolded and taken into the dungeon of the Duke's Mansion. They had no idea where they were. They only knew that they had entered Jiaping Pass. They did not know that they were being imprisoned until the black cloth on their eyes was removed. Into prison.
According to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha's previous arrangements, these merchants were locked in cells opposite the shopkeeper and several grocery store clerks.
The two rows of cells were quite far apart. They couldn't see what was going on in the cells over there, and they and the shopkeeper didn't know who was coming from the other side. However, Yingying, who was in charge of the detention, quietly came over to He He and shopkeeper to briefly talk about the situation, explained the other party's identity, and conveyed Shen Cha's request, asking He He to help shopkeeper keep an eye on these southwest people to see where they were. What they said in private, what plans they had, etc. If there is any harm to Jiaping Pass City, they must be informed in time.
He and the shopkeeper agreed. In fact, the southwest side is also the focus of their two owners. Now that the person has been sent to them, if they don't get some useful information, they will waste this great opportunity.
However, whether they were from the southwest or the shopkeeper, they all believed that Shen Haolin and Shen Cha would come for interrogation soon. However, after waiting for several days, there was no movement, except for the jailer who came to deliver meals at regular intervals. , no one appears here.
In the first two days after being imprisoned in the cell, these southwest merchants, especially the leader, were quite able to keep their composure. If they didn't think they would come, they wouldn't come. Anyway, they were fully prepared, no matter what. They can answer whatever questions the people in Daxia want to ask. There is no problem at all. They are already ready.
But they didn't come when they were being interrogated. They were a little flustered and anxious. These people gathered together and murmured for a long time. They couldn't make up their minds. They could only ask their leader what was going on with these Daxia people and how they could be so calm. It wasn't about that. Wu Dinghou has always been thinking about overturning his mother's case. Didn't he always look for evidence? The evidence was all delivered to his door, and they didn't come to ask. I don't know what these people were thinking.
The leader felt quite awkward. After listening to his brother's words, he remained silent for a long time.
To be honest, he didn't quite understand the thoughts of the Daxia people. Before they came, the head of the Liu family told them that the most thoughtful people were the people in Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion, and the least thoughtful was Xue Houye from Wuding Marquis Mansion. Then He should be a dazed young man, and a bit eager for success, especially when it comes to his mother's case. Originally, they were quite confident and felt that the task entrusted by the Liu Family Master this time would be accomplished and there would be no problem. However, they did not expect that he died before leaving the army and no one of them saw it, and they fell into such a situation. .
"Brother Yidun, you said they..."
"Shh!" The leader of the southwestern merchants, known as Brother Yidun, made a silent gesture and pointed to the cell opposite, indicating that they had ears across the wall.
"You are too cautious. These people should not understand what we are saying."
"That's true." The leader nodded, "What do you want to say?"
"We want to say..."
Staying in his cell with the shopkeeper, lying calmly on the bed, it seemed that he was resting with his eyes closed, but in fact he could clearly hear the words of the people opposite him.
Although Mr. Hutchison is not in the same cell as him, he still likes to get together during the day. At this moment, he is gathered around Mr. He and the shopkeeper, listening.
A waiter came close to Shopkeeper He and wanted to say something, but Shopkeeper He held him down and gently shook his head, asking them to listen quietly and see what was being said on the other side.
"Brother Yidun, what on earth are these Daxia people doing? It's been several days, and they haven't paid any attention to us."
"Don't be anxious. The people of Daxia have a saying, take it easy as it comes. They tormented them, but we must remain unchanged to deal with their various changes."
"But if they took away our letter, would that ruin our plan?"
"What plan do we have? No, we just brought a letter along the way. As for the content of the letter, God knows, the person who wrote the letter and the person who received the letter know it. Errand runners like us don't know anything. ,Right?"
"What Brother Yidun said is true, but we are still a little worried. These Daxia people are too cunning, and they may not know what kind of tricks they will use for us. They have too many tricks, and we are unable to guard against them. I don't know. At any time, I fell into their trap. The fact that they are so silent now and do nothing is the most frightening thing."
"Then what do you think should be done? Tell us what you think."
"We don't have too many ideas. We just want to complete the tasks assigned to us by the Liu Family Master as much as possible, so that Mr. Xue can believe what we say, so that we can provoke the relationship between them, and make Mr. Xue stand on our side. , and messed up this place, our layout in the Kingdom of Jin can be completed in an orderly manner. If these people in Daxia always help the wandering little prince, won’t our plan be in vain? Brother Yidun, Do you think this is true?"
"That's right. Because of Daxia's siege, my grandparents, father and mother had to stay away from their homeland and fled to the southwest. Only then did the small tribes who occupied the southwest survive. Only then did we survive and survive until today. But we Why we are in this situation is all the fault of the Daxia royal family, and we also want them to taste the feeling of betraying their relatives and fleeing with their families."
Hearing this, I exchanged glances with the shopkeeper and the boys. It was expected that they would scheme and dig holes for others, but I didn't expect that their identities were not as simple as they appeared. It seemed that these people were detained. It's still a smart move.
