Before Tang Miaoxin took action, she had thought that Zuo Xingzhi would be driven crazy this time and that he would definitely do something drastic.
So when the officers and soldiers rushed into the inn where they were staying, she and Su Letian obediently cooperated with the officers and soldiers' investigation.
Ning Changping made preparations early, hid in the attic, and escaped arrest this time.
Because Tang Miaoxin and Su Letian were very cooperative throughout the process and acted like good citizens, they were directly classified into the low-risk group.
Someone in their inn put up an extremely fierce resistance, and then was beaten violently by the officers and soldiers, who then took him back for severe interrogation.
This time many people were taken away by officers and soldiers, and the interrogation took a long time.
Tang Miaoxin and Su Letian were the least dangerous group of people, and they were extremely well-behaved among the crowd.
Both of them looked like they had never seen the world and were frightened, hiding in the crowd.
The reason why they didn't bring Ning Changping over was because not only was this girl poor at acting, she was also excited by the crowd.
They were all afraid that she would get too happy and break the officer's neck directly, which would really cause trouble.
And she can be of great use outside, after all, they can't all be locked up.
The human skin mask on Tang Miaoxin's face makes her look very ordinary, making her very inconspicuous in the crowd.
This time she also learned the lessons from the past and did not dare to show any of her abilities in front of others. She did not fan the flames, ignite the flames, or cause trouble.
Be an ordinary person who is invisible to others.
Su Letian is the same as her, he doesn't stir up trouble, doesn't stir up trouble, and he can't be more honest if he looks honest, and he can't be afraid of getting into trouble anymore.
The two of them were locked in the innermost part of the prison, quietly watching what was going on around them.
The suspicious-looking people inside had already begun to torture, and screams could not be heard.
Everyone who was imprisoned with Tang Miaoxin and the others was trembling, fearing that they themselves would also be beaten out.
Su Letian asked with a tearful voice: "Are you afraid?"
Tang Miaoxin trembled and said, "I'm scared to death! I'm afraid I won't be able to go home."
The person next to him couldn't help crying when he heard this: "I'm so scared too!"
"I just married a wife, and I don't want to die here."
"My son is only two years old. If I die, my wife will definitely remarry. What will my son do then?"
"My mother is seriously ill and is still waiting for me to buy medicine and go home to save her life!"
Everyone had their own last resort, and for a while the whole cell was filled with cries.
A gloomy mist hung over the prison.
Tang Miaoxin and Su Letian, who aroused everyone's homesickness and fear, went further into the corner to hide their merit and fame.
Su Letian said softly: "Do you think Zuo Xingzhi will come?"
Tang Miaoxin nodded: "Zuo Xingzhi is always suspicious and likes to do everything by himself."
"He has been unable to find me, and today he lost face again in front of the leader of the rebel army. With his temperament, he will definitely find a way to get things back."
"So there is a high probability that he will come to the prison today to interrogate suspicious people in person."
Su Letian's eyes deepened: "But there are too many people here, so it's not convenient for us to do anything."
Tang Miaoxin's lips curled up slightly: "It's just because there are so many people that it's easy to do something."
"As you can see, everyone is very angry. If we stir it up and blend in with the crowd, we will have a chance."
Before they set off, they had discussed their plan of action long ago.
Hiding in an inn is definitely not a good idea, it will only make you more and more passive.
They don't want to be so passive, so the best way is to take the initiative.
For them now, they just need to take advantage of Zuo Xingzhi's characteristics and blend in with the crowd to find opportunities to do something.
But they all knew clearly that they only had one chance, and if they failed, they would have to find a way to leave Jiangdong immediately.
The officers and soldiers guarding the door were upset when they heard them crying. They knocked on the cell door with a knife and said, "Why are you crying? If you cry again, you will all be pulled out and chopped!"
When everyone saw this scene, they finally felt a little scared and did not dare to cry anymore.
Tang Miaoxin deliberately asked in a hoarse voice in the crowd: "Sir, we are all good citizens and have never committed any crime. When will you let us out?"
Her words were immediately echoed by everyone: "Yes, we haven't committed any crime, why should we be arrested?"
"When can we go out?"
The officer once again slapped the cell door angrily with his knife: "Stop arguing!"
"There is a spy among you. If you find the spy, you will be let go!"
"What does the spy look like?" Su Letian asked, "We will help you find him!"
His words were immediately recognized by others: "Yes, yes, yes, you name the characteristics of the spy, and we will help you find it."
The official was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect these people to be so cooperative.
But he didn't know the characteristics of spies very well, so he said: "Catching spies is a matter for the government. You all just stay here!"
After saying this, Su Letian and Tang Miaoxin didn't even need to give up. The people who were arrested all complained.
They made a little noise and were put down by the officer who drew his sword.
Tang Miaoxin and Su Letian stopped once they got along, stopped provoking any further, and went back to the cell to sleep, not looking like they were going to cause trouble at all.
But because of their question, the people in the cell became somewhat dissatisfied with the official.
Without Tang Miaoxin's guidance, the people just guessed that there were no spies in the city. They were probably caught because Zuo wanted to make money and asked them to use the money to redeem them.
This statement soon spread among the crowd.
Most of those arrested were businessmen from various countries, and they were originally extremely dissatisfied with Zuo's strict investigation.
After having this guess, they became even more dissatisfied.
Overall, Tang Miaoxin's prediction was correct, Zuo Xingzhi did come to see her in person.
It's just that Zuo Xingzhi suffered a big loss at the hands of Tang Miaoxin and he didn't dare to get in front of her for fear that she would use poison on him again.
So Zuo Xingzhi sent his confidants to carefully observe the reactions of the people arrested in prison.
Because he knew that as long as Tang Miaoxin mingled among the crowd, trouble would definitely occur.
But the confidants he sent out waited in jail for a long time and didn't see anything unusual.
It is normal for ordinary people to be dissatisfied and shout a few words, but there are no signs of riots among these people.
No one mingled with the crowd to cause trouble.
Although there were a few troublemakers making a fuss, Zuo Xingzhi had them stripped naked and searched thoroughly, but nothing was found.
Those thorns are not the people Zuo Xingzhi is looking for at all.
Zuo Xingzhi stood outside the torture chamber, looking at the activities inside, his brows furrowed.
His bodyguard came over and asked, "Young Master, do you want to interrogate these people one by one?"
Zuo Xingzhi said in a deep voice: "There is no need to interrogate them one by one. Let's notify them and ask them all to take off their clothes."
