Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"After he explains clearly what he knows, there will be no need to lock him in this prison anymore."

Jiang Lianzhu ordered several jailers on the side.

Several people nodded in agreement and took Cao Li aside for interrogation.

"What did he just say to you? Why do you want to let him go if he is doing well?"

Liao Yunchuan raised his eyebrows inaudibly and said, Jiang Lianzhu is not a merciful person, unless Cao Li offers an offer that she cannot refuse.

"Nothing. He just told me that there was someone behind this incident, and warned me by the way that if he could be kept safe, he would tell all the things about Mr. Qin."

Jiang Lianzhu replied simply and concisely .

"Master Qin 's affairs are the responsibility of the six sects of you , and they have nothing to do with me. As for the person behind the scenes he said - I have to dig deep to find him. come out."

As she spoke, she slowly opened the letter that she had put in. It was densely written with records about this incident.

Liao Yunchuan only scanned a few lines of words, but the handwriting on it felt strange.

"I will investigate this matter with you, but if my guess is correct, this should have something to do with Wang Chungui and the Prime Minister. After all, it has been like this several times before."

He said unhurriedly. Although what he said was speculation, his tone sounded extremely determined.

Apart from the two of them, I really can't think of anyone else who would confront Jiang Lianzhu, let alone use such tricks.

"I think the possibility of this is indeed not small. I will know when I go to test it half way."

Jiang Lianzhu also agreed with him .

the other side.

"You guys don't have enough to eat on weekdays or something, why are you traveling so slowly ? Do I have to hit you with a whip?"

The boy yelled at a few people a little impatiently, and waved the long whip on his hand while speaking.

Since the prime minister entrusted him with the task of leading the team, he should complete it to the letter. He must not let these people slow down the progress, so as not to affect his future promotion path.

"Brother Chu, it's really not that we brothers are unwilling to hurry. It's just that we have been walking day and night for three days... No matter how hard we rush, we can't achieve anything. What's more, we have already arrived at the county seat. Waiting It won’t be too late to enter Luoshui Town tomorrow.”

"Yes, let the brothers settle down in the county town to rest and rest first. Think about the kind of life we ​​lived before... just lie down in the haystacks to rest. We can't even sleep for a whole night . If I encounter any trouble now, I probably won’t even have the strength to resist.”

"I think what you guys said is quite reasonable. Anyway, the time limit given by the adults has not come yet . So what if we delay it for a day ? Brother Chu, are you thinking about the things that the adults gave you before leaving? Money, do you think it’s a waste to stay in a hotel for a few of us?”

A group of people began to sing dissent, showing no intention of obeying the boy's words.

The look on the boy's face looked a bit ugly, but he couldn't bear to face the group of people behind him, so he could only reluctantly respond.

"Forget it, I will take you to a nearby inn to repair it now, so as not to talk to the adults later and everyone will say that I am not willing to pay you that money."

He reluctantly relaxed, took out a piece of silver from his wallet, and led a group of people to the inn.

Zhao Ruyue was sitting in the medical clinic . She didn't pay much attention to the noisy noise coming from next door and continued to work on the things at hand.

Jiang Lianzhu, on the other hand, went out with some interest to take a look, and then returned back leisurely.

"Shopkeeper, what did you see just now? We haven't had so many outsiders in this county for a long time. I don't know why it suddenly became so lively recently."

Zhao Ruyue chatted nonchalantly with Jiang Lianzhu while grinding the herbs on her hands.

This county town was originally a bit remote , but recently people came all the way. Many curious people went to inquire about it, but they couldn't figure out a reason.

All I know is that they are foreign caravans.

Zhao Ruyue didn't take this matter to heart and spoke out.

"I remember that a group of people came here before, but they don't look like they are from the Central Plains. Perhaps the border has become more peaceful recently, so many people come here to do business. .”

The expression on Jiang Lianzhu's face changed slightly, and the movements of her hands were followed by a pause: "You said that people from a foreign land came here some time ago?"

"Yes, they looked like they were from the Western Regions, but I have never been interested in these things, so I didn't say much to them at the time."

Zhao Ruyue did not notice the unusual touch in Jiang Lianzhu 's voice, and answered very naturally.

Jiang Lianzhu walked out immediately after getting this answer. Zhao Ruyue originally wanted to ask her about some medicinal materials, but when she looked up, she found that the person she was looking for was missing.

He really can run faster than a rabbit .

Jiang Lianzhu went directly to the six gates. Liao Yunchuan had just returned from the dungeon and had already finished interrogating the prisoners in his hands.

Mr. Qin has learned everything he knows and doesn't dare to hide anything.

" I heard from Zhao Ruyue that a group of people from a foreign land came to the county some time ago. They are probably what we are looking for, those people from the Western Regions who are eyeing iron ore."

Jiang Lianzhu said straight to the point, with full certainty in her voice.

"Our county is not a necessary route for trade at all. If you insist on going to our side, it will only increase the distance inexplicably-so, my suspicion should be good."

She analyzed some of the logical details, and Liao Yunchuan did not argue with them after listening .

"Do you know which inn those people are staying in? If we go to inquire now, we should be able to find out some information."

"You should live in the one next to the medical center. A new group of people just arrived and they also settled in that house."

Jiang Lianzhu answered immediately, and without saying anything , she took Liao Yunchuan to the inn.

Maybe some people had just entered the inn, so it was a bit lively. The waiter was running around from table to table, and he almost could n't handle it.

"What do you two guests want ? You might as well invite me inside! "

It took a while for the waiter to run over enthusiastically. .
