There are so many people in the Zuo clan, but they can't do anything to a weak woman. If this matter gets out, they will all be embarrassed.
Not only Zuo's father felt aggrieved by this matter, Zuo Xingzhi also felt aggrieved.
But he knew clearly in his heart that no matter how frustrating this matter was, they had to endure it first.
Tang Miaoxin went out today and directly followed the innkeeper's instructions to go to the silk shop in the city to contact people about buying silk.
She was fully prepared when she came here this time, and she had quite a lot of money in her hand.
The silk from the Six Kingdoms in Jiangdong is the best, so she can buy some for Ning Changping's dowry.
So she chose silk really carefully.
She had been in the world for many years, and she did business with Tang Yishen for a while, pretending to be a businessman.
She negotiated prices back and forth with the owner of the silk shop, and she was able to do so neatly, and she spoke the business jargon so fluently.
The boss of the silk shop looked at her and sighed: "I have never seen anyone who can bargain as well as you!"
Tang Miaoxin said with a smile: "It's not easy to do business when you are away from home. I made you laugh."
The boss of the silk shop said to her: "If you buy more, I can give you a cheaper price."
The world has not been peaceful these past two years. Not many merchants have come to Jiangdong, and their silk has not been easy to sell.
Tang Miaoxin asked: "How much cheaper can it be?"
The two engaged in another round of bargaining, and finally Tang Miaoxin won the batch of silk of good quality at a cheap price.
After the negotiations were completed, the owner of the silk shop asked someone to deliver the goods to the inn.
The innkeeper, Jian Tang Miaoxin, and his party bought so much silk. They were initially a little suspicious of their identity as merchants, but now they were completely convinced.
After all, if you are not a businessman, you would not be able to buy so much silk at once.
He said to Tang Miaoxin: "Now that you have bought the things here, when do you plan to leave the city?"
Before Tang Miaoxin could answer, a merchant next to her said, "We can't leave the city now."
Tang Miaoxin asked: "Why?"
The merchant replied: "Who knows why? Just now, the government posted a notice saying that spies have sneaked into the city."
"In the next few days, no matter who they are, no one will be allowed to leave the city."
Tang Miaoxin raised her eyebrows, knowing that this was Zuo Xingzhi's response plan after receiving her letter.
She felt that Zuo Xingzhi's reaction was quite quick, but she had no intention of going out originally.
The merchants next to me all had bitter faces: "I don't know what they are doing. They are not allowed in for a while and are not allowed to go out for a while."
"The investigation is so strict, but spies are still allowed to sneak into the city. Are all the yamen just working for a living?"
"If you stay outside for one more day, you will have one more day to spend. It is impossible for me to make any money when I go out this time."
"It's just that you can't make any money, but I'm miserable. I'm selling fruit. I can't get out of the city, and all the fruit will rot in a few days!"
There were sighs and sighs in the inn, and they were very helpless about the act of sealing the city gate this time.
It's just that they are just ordinary businessmen and have no qualifications to challenge the government.
If you can't leave the city, you can only wait patiently.
Because of this incident, everyone was in despair.
Tang Miaoxin also joined them and complained about the misfortune, appearing very gregarious.
Because of her gregariousness, the people next to her also said a few more words: "What a spy. In my opinion, it's just because someone important is coming to Jiangdong."
Tang Miaoxin originally thought that the important person they were talking about was her, but after listening carefully, she found out that it was not.
Because someone whispered: "I heard that Jiangdong wants to form an alliance with the rebels, that's why they take this matter so seriously."
Tang Miaoxin had heard about the massive rebel army in Qi State before.
Just because it was a matter of Qi State, she didn't pay too much attention to it.
Because according to the history she learned, every time the people could no longer survive, they would get together and become a peasant uprising army.
She asked curiously: "The leader of the rebel army wants to cooperate with Jiang Dong? Is that why they catch spies like this?"
The shopkeeper said from the side: "I have heard about this in the past few days. It is said that there is such a thing."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him immediately began to discuss the affairs of the rebel army.
Tang Miaoxin knew very little about the rebels. At this time, she felt that they might be her breakthrough point, so she listened.
From time to time, she would ask questions to lead them to talk more.
After listening for about half an hour, she concluded:
This is an organized and disciplined rebel army, and it can be seen that the leader of the rebel army is a very powerful person.
The leader of the rebel army is a woman. No one has seen her face. It is said that she usually wears a mask when going out.
Tang Miaoxin felt that the leader of the rebel army was a powerful figure and really made their women look good.
If possible, she would like to abduct people back.
It's just that he is now the leader of the rebel army, and he looks like he is someone who wants to do big things. This kind of person is generally not easy to kidnap.
Tang Miaoxin felt a little regretful.
This time she took the initiative to alert Zuo Xingzhi, just to make Zuo Xingzhi nervous so that he could take action.
Because only when Zuo Xingzhi moves can she take action.
But now it seems that Zuo Xingzhi's reaction was greater than she expected.
Seeing how he behaves like this, I'm afraid he's going to be a coward.
Tang Miaoxin raised her eyebrows lightly, thinking in her mind what she should do next to pull out Zuo Xingzhi, a turtle with a shrunken head.
After they returned to their room, the people Su Letian sent out to inquire about the news also returned.
They also inquired about the rebel leader who would enter the city in the next few days.
Su Letian said in a deep voice: "Zuo Xingzhi is in Zuofu and won't come out. It's hard for us to do anything to him."
"But the day the rebel leader enters the city, he will definitely show up. After all, he has to show that he values the rebel leader."
Tang Miaoxin clasped her hands on her chest and said, "He will indeed come out that day, but there will be many guards around him."
"In addition, the leaders of the rebels are also here, so they will be surrounded tightly by then, and we will have no chance to take action."
She smiled when she said this and said, "The point is, if we can think of this, Zuo Xingzhi must also be able to think of it."
"So not only were we unable to move that day, we also had to stay at home obediently. There would definitely be a dragnet set up for us that day."
Su Letian sighed softly and said: "You are right, but if he never has the chance to make a move, what will we do?"
Tang Miaoxin's eyes were dark. She had previously said that she would use the method of making false noises to attack the west, but now it seems that this method may not be effective.
Ning Changping held his head with one hand and said, "It would be great if there were some of us in the rebel army. If we were among them, we could easily chop Zuo Xingzhi."
