Chapter 232: Capturing the Xig People

The next morning, it was misty and rainy.

People were already lying in ambush at the dock.

A boat appeared on the water. The moment it stopped, the people who were ambushing in the water poked their heads out and climbed onto the boat. There was only a moment of fighting sound inside.

Mingheng grabbed a man and threw him onto the wooden bridge.

"Sir, the people have been caught."

Song Wang was holding the prefect and others back, and only rushed over after receiving the news. In the small wooden house in the suburbs, there was only a candle standing on the table. As soon as the door was opened, the candle went out.

“…”

Everyone looked at the candle.

Mingheng lit it, and Jiusu exchanged a few candles in the system, and they were able to barely illuminate the cabin. The warm light made the people present feel less cold.

Song Wang has a way to make him speak.

But the trouble was, he didn't understand at all.

The captured man had brown hair and green eyes, and was obviously not from here. They all thought that he was from Xige. The two places did not speak the same language, and this was Lingcheng, so they could not find anyone who could speak this language.

Jiusu coughed lightly, and she seemed to understand. It was English, but it was not quite the same. It was probably the language before it was perfected.

"Actually, I was born with a natural interest in these languages, so I taught myself and can now understand about 80% to 90% of them."

Jiang Jing raised his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He looked at the shocked Song Wang and others, and couldn't help feeling proud. Asu was not from this era, maybe he learned it at that time.

He really wanted to go back to A Su's time.

Are all the people there excellent, peace-loving and positive? According to Ah Su, it can be very tiring, but no one has lost their love for life.

If so, they will love everything again.

"Mingheng, pen and ink."

The Xige man's hands were released to prevent him from escaping, but his feet were still tied. He held the brush in his hand, feeling helpless, until Jiusu gave him a feather pen, and he was very excited.

Said a few words of gratitude.

He wrote down what he wanted to say on the paper.

Jiusu said: "He said his name is René, why are you arresting me?"

As for why she could understand it, three parts were real talent and seven parts were feeling, commonly known as sense of language.

Song Wang crossed his arms and was skeptical.

Really?

He said, "Then please tell him, Miss Jiu, that we are officials sent by the imperial court to arrest the tobacco traffickers. Ask him to explain clearly who they are and why they are doing this."

【Silver Leaf-2】

The English-Chinese Dictionary has been placed in the warehouse.

Jiusu pretended to reach into his backpack and took out a dictionary. After looking up the words he didn't know, such as "imperial official" and "tobacco leaves", he wrote down the questions he wanted to ask on a piece of paper.

René complimented her English.

He wrote a long and eloquent article on the paper.

Jiusu said, "The envoy from Xige State had a good relationship with a minister from Xu State. He recommended this thing to them. The minister thought it was profitable, so the two of them made a deal."

"Who is the minister?"

“ I have no idea.”

“Who is his boss?”

“Alger.”

After getting useful information, Song Wang did not delay any longer. He rushed directly back to Su Ming County to find the prince. Jiang Jing also wrote a letter and sent it to his father in Shengjing.

René kept following behind and talking to Jiusu.

Jiang Jing didn't understand the language of Xige, but he could understand René's eyes full of surprise. He had a strong sense of crisis and walked up to the woman.

"Asu, are you sleepy?"

"Some." Jiusu rubbed his eyebrows. He had just finished interrogating other people and did not get any useful information, but he saw a girl from Xige country.

She has delicate features and is very beautiful.

It was René's sister, Anne.

An Mi sat obediently aside, looking at Jiang Jing from time to time. She had longed for Xu State since she was a child, so she learned the language of Xu State and could understand the conversation between the two.

"If you are tired, go to bed. I can accompany the master."

Jiu Su: "?"

Jiang Jing frowned and said, "Mingheng, what are you still doing here? Take them to the prison immediately and wait for the Marquis's order."

Anmi looked at the two people who walked in, swords in hand.

He repeatedly refused in a scornful tone, "No, no, no, no, we can't. We are Xige people. According to the friendship regulations between our two countries, you must respect and protect us."

There is indeed such a regulation.

Jiang Jing knew it very well.

Jiusu chuckled and said, "Really? I kind of forgot. Before we figure out the rules, we need to tie you up. If what you said is true, you must apologize."

"You!" Anmi's face turned red with anger.

Seeing her brother being tied up obediently, she could do nothing. After all, they were in a weak position now. She was tied up and the only thing in her eyes was the handsome young man.

Jiusu leaned on him and took a nap.

Anmi was very envious.

In a cell in the prison, which was covered all around, the prefect and Shao Jie were smoking tobacco. Their laughter echoed all around. Suddenly, Shao Jie grabbed the prefect's hand.

"My lord, I will die with my eyes wide open!"

The prefect shook his head and said nonchalantly, "As long as you help me sell this item, I can help you leave the prison without anyone noticing. Don't worry, I'm just looking for a scapegoat."

Shao Jie smiled bitterly: "I won't live long. This thing is poisonous."

Click.

The pipe fell to the ground.

The prefect smacked his lips and instantly lost interest. He called a doctor, and sure enough, the doctor saw that it was indeed a sign of death. There were only two people left in the prison.

Shao Jie continued to smoke his tobacco, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes. Blurred, he seemed to see his past self, "There's no going back!"

"Smoke, smoke, smoke! Stop smoking!" The prefect's back was sweating and he threw the pipe to the ground.

He was afraid that he would not have much time left, but fortunately, he looked different from Shao Jie. He would definitely see a famous doctor when he returned.

If he dies, no one else can live!

The entire mausoleum city is filled with burial objects!

Shao Jie laughed but no sound came out. It was a painful suffocation. His craving for cigarette came back again. He picked up the scattered tobacco leaves on the ground and swallowed them all. His throat was sore.

No one knows.

He died in prison that night.

The Shao family knelt in front of the yamen and cried. They only stopped crying after the prefect gave them a pension.

"Really? It's just such a small amount of money. Your Excellency is really stingy."

Hard work pays off.

After a whole night, we finally tracked down the person who smoked this cigarette.

Jiusu bought a shop and used it as a smoking cessation center.

Jiang Jing used both soft and hard tactics to spread knowledge. Some people regretted their actions and were willing to go, while others were unwilling to leave. He said calmly, "Kidnap them!"

For the first time, people felt that arresting people was a good thing.

The rumors of people dying from possession by demons were also proven false. Everyone's impression of Xige country became extremely bad, and they all cursed the country openly and secretly.

When Anmi heard this, she was very angry.

"Why do you want to ruin the reputation of Xige Country?"

Jiusu Ni glanced at her and said with a smile: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Doing bad things and still wanting a good reputation is like a whore building a memorial archway."

Anmi knew it wasn't a nice thing to say, so she said, "You're a bitch."
