The steward snorted coldly and said, "Don't you just want this inn? No way, unless I die."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head away from Wen Xian, making it clear that he would not cooperate with other questions.
Wen Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and when she thought of something, she suddenly laughed and said: "You want a post station? What will I do with your shabby inn station? Besides, you guys started the matter in the first place. Now she diverted her attention. This move is right. I am useless."
She sneered and said, "I'll give you one night to think about it. If you still can't make it clear, I don't mind giving in."
She waved her hand and said to Zhu San: "Put it down and guard it alone."
She had to sleep tonight, but she didn't have much time to examine each one carefully. I can only knock them all out first and continue tomorrow morning.
However, these people seemed to have made an appointment to be tough and refused to tell the truth.
Wen Xian wasn't angry either. After asking everyone about it, she probably had an idea. Then Zhu San was asked to imprison everyone until she could continue the interrogation tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, Wen Xian had a simple breakfast and then began to interrogate the assassin from last night.
After a while, Jiang Chen also came over, and he was responsible for interrogating the traitors on his side.
Perhaps after a night of detention, and whether Zhu San and the others would ask a few questions and kick them, the assassins' mental state was not that good at the moment.
Wen Xian asked An Ye to interrogate the others, while she continued to interrogate the steward who had been so stubborn last night.
Wen Xian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said quietly: "Have you thought about what to say? Remember, you only have one chance. If you don't say it this time, it won't be so easy next time."
She didn't want to waste her time on this. To put it bluntly, the reason why they took action was not that important to her.
Even if it is really coming for her, so what, if the soldiers come to block the water and the earth covers it, her people can handle it.
She can also kill them all without leaving any survivors. It doesn't make much difference to her.
Seeing Wen Xian's attitude, the manager's heart skipped a beat. In the end, his determination to survive defeated his integrity and told him what he knew.
It was fine if he didn't say it, but Wen Xian was stunned when he said it.
It turned out that there were four groups of assassins yesterday.
One group is the people from the inn headed by the steward, one group is the people who betrayed Jiang Chen himself, one group is the people from the Minbei Mansion, and the last group is the people from the Jiang family's branch.
It is precisely because of the people from the Jiang family that the people on Jiang Chen's side want to deal with Jiang Chen.
Wen Xian was amazed after hearing this. She didn't expect that she would meet so many people just after arriving at a small inn.
Two of them belonged to the Jiang family. It was not known whether it was a coincidence or whether they had planned to follow Jiang Chen.
Wen Xian singled out the Jiang family members and left them all to Jiang Chen to handle, while she continued to review the management affairs.
As for the people from Minbei Mansion, she planned to take them directly to Minbei Mansion and talk about it when they arrived.
The purpose of these people is very simple, that is, to get a way station.
That's why I came up with the idea of taking care of things last night.
Wen Xian took another sip of tea and said calmly to the steward: "So, what you said last night was that someone from Minbei Prefecture wanted to occupy the inn?"
But it shouldn't be. There's a war going on over there in Minbei Prefecture. Who has the time to take care of this little inn?
However, the shopkeeper pursed his lips and said, "No, it's those other people."
"Huh?" Wen Xian asked in surprise, "Those other people who were arrested last night?"
In addition, those people were not the Jiang family, but the Jiang family wanted to rob this inn, which surprised her very much.
"Yes, it's them." The steward sighed, "Those people started to coerce and induce them to hand over the inn a month ago."
This was also the reason for their caution. People from several parties were paying attention to the station, which made them not panic.
Wen Xian's mouth twitched slightly, and she said quietly: "Then why did you cooperate with the sneak attack yesterday?"
How funny? He clearly has a grudge against a branch of the Jiang family, yet he cooperates with them to attack Jiang Chen?
Those who didn't know better thought they were a group of people, not enemies.
Thinking of this, the steward said sarcastically: "Just because someone rushes ahead, we can fish in troubled waters."
Someone rushed ahead for them, but it was too late for them to be happy. It's just a good time to join in the fun and occasionally have a good sneak attack.
"Why did you sneak attack?" Wen Xian said coolly, "I ask myself that we are just taking a rest and staying for one night, and we have no grievances or enmities against you."
She continued: "Logically speaking, you should also ensure our safety."
They stayed at the inn. The inn should ensure their safety. Why did they come to assassinate them?
"I heard that the head of the Jiang family lives in that courtyard." The steward's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, "Besides, if everyone goes to that courtyard, it would be bad for us to act alone."
They also want to ensure the safety of their own people. It is better to follow other assassins to pick up the slack than to open a battlefield on their own.
Wen Xian's mouth twitched slightly, her eyes were a little complicated, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
To say that this steward is smart, at least he knows not to rush ahead, lest he lose his life.
I’ll complete two thousand words tomorrow morning.
