Caimo didn't know who his captor was or where he was being held. It was pitch dark all around and he couldn't tell whether it was day or night. But every once in a while, someone would bring him some food or drink. No one came to interrogate him.
, and no one bothered him. Many times, it was quiet all around, and the place was so small that if he straightened up, he would hit his head.
When he first came here, Caimo would still shout twice. Now he is too lazy to shout. Since he can't die, he should just wait and see. Someone will come to talk to him when the time comes. Even if he kills someone, someone will come in with a knife.
"Are you Caimo, our biggest businessman in Yelang?" Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, speaking in poor Yelang dialect, and you knew it was pretending.
"Who are you? Who sent you here?" Caimo is not a child, he is very experienced in these things.
"You'd better answer my questions. If you answer well, I might let you go. If you make any mistakes, I'll kill you immediately!"
Caimo sneered: "Since you have captured me, you will naturally know who I am, so why bother asking? I am Caimo, and I would like to advise you, no matter who you are or who you work for, if you capture me, it means you
The time of death has come."
"Hahaha..." The man laughed: "Really? Since I dare to arrest you, I have no fear of death! Why did King Yelang send you to Wuyang?"
"I'm a businessman, what does it have to do with King Yelang? I'm afraid I know him, but he doesn't know me!"
"Don't tell lies in front of Mingren. I'm arresting you because you are a member of King Yelang. We in Wuwei City pay tribute every year and become ministers year after year. King Yelang is still uneasy and sent you this dog here. Tell me quickly.
, what are you here for?"
"I really have nothing to do with the Yelang bastard. I am just an authentic businessman. If you don't believe me, go check. Our family has been doing business for generations, and we don't even have an official." Caimo laughed and said, "You are from the Shamasayi sect.
Is that okay? You Wu Yang, oh, what you say is so nice? You still pretend to be stiff in Yelang's words, and you're not afraid of hurting your tongue?"
"Do you think your life is too long? Knowing too much is not good for you!"
"I have already started to kill you, there is no need to wait until now!" Caimo stood up and approached the cell door: "Don't the city lord just want money? Tell her a number, and I will definitely satisfy her request and give her as much as she wants."
"You are so generous! It's a pity that you guessed wrong, we are not the Lord of Wuyang City."
"Okay! So what do you want?"
"We just want to know why King Yelang sent you to Wuyang? Back to this question, we will let you go soon."
Caimo was silent. People outside asked several times, and then Caimo said: "Okay! Since you asked, I will tell you. King Yelang was worried that the Lord of Wuyang City was too close to your Liu family, so he sent me here
Look, if your Liu family wants to be independent, it has nothing to do with us Yelang. Wuyang City is our Yelang’s land, and you Liu family will never be allowed to get involved!"
"I'm not from the Liu family either. To tell you the truth, my backend is Mr. Su Rensu."
"Hahaha..., this is a big joke! That kid is indeed smart, but he won't catch me. He knows that catching me will not do him any good. Only idiots like you Liu family would do such a thing.
!”
"Whether you believe it or not, today's conversation ends here. Congratulations, you can live another day."
There was no more movement outside. Caimo heard the footsteps disappearing, sat down again and leaned against the wall, with a faint smile on his lips.
Everyone has weaknesses, no matter how strong you are. As someone who has experienced two thousand years of history, Su Ren is convinced of this. As long as you grasp a person's weaknesses, he will sooner or later expose his weaknesses. It's like
This Caimo, he is indeed a businessman, but who has ever seen a businessman with such a clean foundation? And he is also so tough.
Since being imprisoned, Caimo has neither cried nor made trouble. This has exceeded the bottom line of a pure businessman. If it were Su Ren, he would be afraid and worried that he would be killed or beaten. This is a person without any background.
What a businessman should do.
Gou Tianming smiled and said to Su Ren: "That guy looks tough, but he is actually a softie. He was frightened by me and said everything. This Yelang King is really a thief. He can smell that guy from so far away.
The relationship between a woman and the Liu family makes her a somewhat capable monarch."
"It is not easy to be king in a place like Yelang. There are dozens of countries, large and small. If he is not properly controlled, his throne will soon be replaced by someone else. No one without any ability can do this."
"Then what should we do next? Let him go?"
Su Ren shook his head: "It's not yet time. This guy hasn't told the truth yet, and he hasn't believed that Shamasayi caught him. I'll send another person over tomorrow to ask the same question again."
"Still asking?"
"Yes! If you still ask, you must ask him until it annoys him too much."
"Why?"
Hawking rolled his eyes impatiently and said, "If my brother asks you to ask, why are you such an old man talking so much nonsense!"
"Haha!" Gou Tianming laughed twice, turned around and left the room.
Su Ren was not full at the banquet at the city lord's house. After talking so much with Shamashayi, he didn't even take a few bites of the meat on the plate. Although the meat tasted a little worse, it was still delicious in the city lord's house, and it was more expensive than a fresh one.
While talking to Shamashayi, Su Ren saw someone hiding behind the screen. The person was young, good-looking, tall, and not from Yelang.
Su Ren has never met the person sent by the Liu family. He only heard a few words from Huo Jin, but he has no impression of Mr. Liu. This meeting was purely accidental.
Su Ren asked Hawking while drinking tea: "Who is Mr. Liu? Have you found out?"
Huo Jin shook his head: "Back then, Liu Tang, the old man of the Liu family, took his family members to fight against the rebels, leaving only Liu Wen to continue the Liu family's legacy. Rumor has it that all the Liu family members died in the battle, and Liu Tang, who came back alone, was also very popular.
He is about to die. From now on, only Liu Wen will be left in the Liu family, and there will be no one else. This Mr. Liu has no idea where he came from."
"Oh! Hidden so deeply?"
"In the past few years, people in Wenshui have only seen Liu Wen. Even his servants have only seen Liu Wen, not Mr. Liu."
Su Ren sighed. In order to be self-reliant, the Liu family did not hesitate to sacrifice all the children in the family. Since Mr. Liu often appears in Wuyang, he should have started to arrange it more than ten years ago. It would be strange for him to be found out.
Su Ren is becoming more and more curious about the Liu family. Could it be that they want to rely on the power of a family to overthrow the Han Dynasty? Such an idea is too stupid.
For several days in a row, Caimo was asked the same questions by different people. They were all lame Yelang words, some were straightforward and some were euphemistic. Caimo was annoyed by it, since everyone knew that he was the Yelang King.
What else can people do when they come to Wuyang? It must be to spy on the city lord of Wuyang. Even a three-year-old child can understand this kind of pediatric problem. What on earth do these idiots want to do?
Caimo was hysterical: "Have you asked enough? Use your pig brains to think about what I can do. Without soldiers and generals, Wu Yang will not be interested in you! Go back and tell that stinky woman, either let me go or kill me."
Me, otherwise Wuyang City will cease to exist!"
There were footsteps outside the door. They were running. Caimo could hear them clearly. He let out a sigh of relief: "You bitch, are you showing off your poor acting skills in front of me? Grandpa is an expert in this area!"
No executioner came with a ghost-head knife, and no one came to ask questions. Even the people who delivered food and water didn't come. Caimo was lying on the door and yelling, not hearing any response. He was in a trance.
For a while, Caimo felt so sleepy that he couldn't even lift his eyelids.
When he woke up, the dazzling sunlight made him burst into tears. It took him a long time to adapt. Zemo was locked in an iron cage, surrounded by endless woods and a tall spire on the mountainside in the distance.
I know, that’s the roof of Wuyang City Lord’s Mansion.
"Is there anyone? Help!" Caimo shouted loudly. In the barren mountains and ridges, the echo could be heard far away.
Soon, several strong men appeared in Caimo's sight. Caimo was very happy: "Here, save me! I will give you a lot of money!"
The men looked at Caimo dully, frowning and looking at each other. Caimo recognized one of them. He had seen the stubble-faced man in Su Ren's camp. He just spoke in Yelang dialect.
, these people may not understand. I cleared my throat and said it again in standard Chinese.
"Save me, save me, I'll give you a lot of money!"
"So you can speak Chinese! How did this happen?"
"It's hard to explain, brother, do you still know me? We met at Mr. Su's camp. I am the Yelang businessman, my name is Caimo!" Caimo kept introducing himself to the stubble-faced man.
"Oh! I remembered it! Why do you look so familiar? Brothers, help me, this is our husband's friend."
Su Ren came to pick up Caimo in person. Looking at Caimo's haggard face and his extremely dirty head and feet, he hugged him: "Oh! I finally found you, brother. My brother's disappearance has made me anxious these days.
Yes! I also said, our cooperation has not started yet, why did the person disappear, and later I found out that my brother was kidnapped, how did this happen? Who is so brave, dare to touch my brother, I went to find the city lord, she
I don’t know, I thought…”
Caimo laughed and said, "Young Master Su is worried. I can't explain it in words. How about I borrow the young master's place and let me freshen up?"
Su Ren then let go and said silently: "Yes, yes, yes, I am only interested in being happy. Take my brother to clean up quickly. This is really inappropriate."
Caimo thanked everyone and followed Huo Laosi to take a shower and change clothes.
Gou Tianming smiled at Su Ren and held out his thumb. Su Ren shook his clothes and quickly took them off in disgust: "Why don't you get me some clean clothes quickly? They are so dirty! I almost vomited just now.
.”
Hawking giggled: "Why do I think you are closer to this guy than we are?"
Su Ren said seriously: "That's an illusion!" (To be continued)
