If they hadn't been sure that they were in the Western Jedi, they would have believed that this was China.
Dou Wentao lightly cupped his hands and said, "You two, I'm afraid things are not going to be easy to handle."
Chu Tianshu raised his hand to the side and said, "Director Dou, can you take a step to speak?"
Dou Wentao nodded and followed Chu Tianshu to the shadows aside.
Chu Tianshu grabbed a handful of coins and stuffed them into Dou Wentao's hand, and said with a smile: "Director Dou, please do me a favor."
Dou Wentao put away the coins without leaving a trace, sighed and said: "It's not that I can't help it, it's really that I can't help it. Captain Liu of the city defense regiment said that no one is allowed to be released without his consent."
Chu Tianshu frowned: "Then is there any way you can contact Commander Liu?"
After saying that, he added: "When the matter is done, I will be very grateful."
Dou Wentao said: "Sorry, Captain Liu has been working in the City Lord's Mansion before, and I am not familiar with him."
With Dou Wentao's ease in collecting money, Chu Tianshu knew that if he could do it, he would definitely not refuse to earn this money.
Chu Tianshu's eyes flickered and he turned to ask, "Can Director Dou arrange for me to meet my friend?"
As he spoke, Chu Tianshu stuffed another handful of coins into his hand.
Ge Changqing had a volatile temperament, and Chu Tianshu was worried that something would happen to him inside, so he felt uneasy if he didn't see him.
Dou Wentao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."
At that moment, Chu Tianshu and Ren Changfeng followed Dou Wentao to the prison.
As Dou Wentao walked away, he said to Chu Tianshu: "Actually, this matter is not difficult to handle. The reason why Captain Liu detained people is ultimately just for money. As long as he comes up with a price that satisfies him, he will definitely let him go."
people."
Chu Tianshu asked: "Director Dou, how much does it cost?"
Dou Wentao said: "According to past practice, five thousand coins is enough, but Captain Liu has a big appetite, and he is a new official, so he has to..."
Dou Wentao stretched out a finger and shook it: "Ten thousand coins."
After spending this time with Kang Yaru, Chu Tianshu learned a lot of information that he didn't know before.
For example, the city lord's palace in each city here stipulates that the exchange rate for an incense bead is 10,000 coins.
However, under normal circumstances, you may not be able to buy an incense bead with ten thousand coins.
Therefore, the actual value of an incense bead is definitely more than 10,000 coins.
Chu Tianshu still had two incense beads on his body, so Dou Wentao's words made him feel reassured.
He raised his hand to Dou Wentao again: "Director Dou, please find a way to contact Captain Liu. As long as you can rescue my friend, I will definitely thank you."
Dou Wentao nodded: "I will try my best."
The prison was right behind the Supervision Department. Under Dou Wentao's arrangement, Chu Tianshu and Ren Changfeng met Ge Changqing smoothly.
Seeing Ge Changqing's tattered clothes and the bruises on his face, Ren Changfeng immediately became angry, glared and asked: "Old Ge, who did this?"
Upon hearing Ren Changfeng's words, Dou Wentao, who was waiting not far away, his eyes instantly condensed into light.
Chu Tianshu patted Ren Changfeng's shoulder and winked quietly, and Ren Changfeng suppressed his emotions.
Ge Changqing said angrily: "It's too dark here. Anyone who comes in must receive a hundred killing sticks first."
"A hundred killing sticks?"
Ren Changfeng's mouth twitched, "Didn't anyone ask you to beat up Jiang Menshen?"
Ge Changqing glared and said: "Get out of here, I am suffering here, and you are still making sarcastic remarks."
Chu Tianshu briefly explained the situation to Ge Changqing and warned: "Old Ge, please be patient for now, we will find a way to get you out as soon as possible."
Ge Changqing grinned and said, "Then you have to hurry up. If it's too late, I might be tortured to death."
Ge Changqing nodded: "Although you two brats are not as good as me, you are still very loyal to your friends. I believe you."
Ren Changfeng rolled his eyes: "Lao Ge, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about character."
Dou Wentao, who was not far away, shouted: "You two, it's almost done, right?"
It’s been too long and it’s hard for me to explain here.”
"Lao Ge, I will try my best to take care of it so that you will suffer less."
Chu Tianshu sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. We haven't fully recovered yet. Otherwise, we'll have to get you out even if we're trying to escape from prison."
Ge Changqing said in a sullen voice: "If I recover my cultivation, how can those little Jedi fishes catch me?"
Chu Tianshu patted Ge Changqing's shoulder: "Wait patiently."
Arriving in front of Dou Wentao, Chu Tianshu said: "Director Dou, can you give me an order so that my friend will suffer less?
You are the director of the Supervision Department, so you should have this respect, right?"
Dou Wentao nodded: "Don't worry, I will explain it."
This guy had an arrogant attitude and looked very impatient, but Chu Tianshu couldn't say much.
When the three of them left the prison, Dou Wentao asked with his hands behind his back: "Are you really from Yunmeng City?"
"yes."
Chu Tianshu asked, "Is there any problem?"
Dou Wentao narrowed his eyes slightly: "The three of you just had a conversation, what were you talking about?
Why can’t I understand it?”
As soon as these words came out, Chu Tianshu and Ren Changfeng suddenly became vigilant.
Chu Tianshu smiled calmly and explained: "This is a dialect passed down from our ancestors. As for where it is, because it has been so long, even the elderly in the family can't figure it out."
He looked at Dou Wentao with a faint smile: "Is there any problem?"
Dou Wentao smiled and said: "Several big figures in this city communicate with each other in a language that only they can understand. I think it is somewhat similar to what you said, so I asked out of curiosity."
Chu Tianshu's eyes narrowed: "Is there such a thing?
I wonder which big names Director Dou is talking about?"
Dou Wentao said: "I once heard General Jiang from the City Lord's Mansion talking to his cronies like this."
Chu Tianshu's eyes flashed rapidly.
If Dou Wentao heard correctly, wouldn't it mean that in addition to a few of his own people, there are also people from China here?
Who is the one?
Dou Wentao continued: "If you are really of the same lineage as General Chiang, you might be able to flourish in Hongye City."
Chu Tianshu asked: "How can I meet General Jiang?"
Dou Wentao smiled: "General Jiang is not something anyone can just meet if they want to."
As they talked, several people came outside the prison. Dou Wentao bowed his hands lightly: "If there is any news, I will ask my cousin to inform you two."
After saying that, he left directly.
Watching Dou Wentao go away, the middle-aged man said: "Can you two give me an address?
