Yinzhen took a look at the piece of cloth, and before he could say anything, he was attracted by the footsteps coming from outside.
Deng Yunlin also quickly put away the piece of cloth.
Just as the two were wondering if someone else was being brought in, the firelight at the door was blocked.
After the keys jingled a few times, the door opened. The jailer leaned in and pointed at Yinzhen, saying,
"You, come out!"
Seeing this, Deng Yunlin tensed up and stood in front of Yinzhen to protect him.
The jailer saw this and his face darkened.
"I advise you to be more sensible, so you can suffer less!"
Deng Yunlin refused to give in and stared at the jailer closely. If the jailer dared to make any move, he would not tolerate it any longer.
The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.
Yinzhen carefully observed the officials who bent down and found that they had no intention of rushing in to forcibly pull him away, and the worries in his heart could not help but ease.
The jailer saw that the two men did not move, and people from both cells poked their heads out, and he felt embarrassed and angry.
“Okay, okay…”
He turned around and was about to call the officers to drag Yinzhen and the other two out to vent his anger, but one of them held him down. He whispered in the head of the jailer's ear,
"Are you crazy? This is the person Mr. Liu specifically asked to see, and he even asked us to find him a better, separate place to live!"
He emphasized the last sentence particularly strongly.
When the jailer heard this, his face instantly turned a little embarrassed.
"Come on, come on! I don't have the ability to get him out anyway..."
Then the official squatted down, with a flattering smile on his face.
"Don't be afraid, young master. We have no ill intentions in bringing you out. Someone just wants to see you. We'll find you a new place to stay. If you're worried, this...brother can also go out with you!"
He could see clearly that the person protecting the young man was obviously his personal bodyguard. In this day and age, how could a kid with a personal bodyguard be a simple person?
Only someone as stupid as Zhang Bao would dare to whip the young master.
Yinzhen clenched his fists, thought about it, and nodded in agreement.
"Can."
Deng Yunlin also knew that now was not the time to fall out, so when he heard that the officer agreed to let him go out with the Fourth Prince, he felt a little relieved.
So the two were taken out of the cell again.
It was completely dark outside, but there were no clouds in the sky to block the view. Yinzhen looked up and saw the high moon and the stars in the sky.
Yinzhen felt inexplicably relieved.
Along the way, none of the officials around spoke to the two of them, so Yinzhen and Deng Yunlin were silently calculating the direction and distance.
After about an incense stick of time, the two were taken into several rows of houses, which should also be the dormitory for the corvées.
Just looking at it, it is much cleaner and tidier than where they live.
The two waited in the room for a while, and then there was a noise outside the door. Yinzhen and Deng Yunlin looked up, and saw Liu Er's smiling face.
"Have you been waiting for a long time, young master?"
Yinzhen was not surprised to see him. After all, when he was confronting him, he could tell from the attitudes of all the officials around him that this man was definitely more than just a housekeeper's son.
"What on earth do you want to do by having me brought here?"
Yinzhen was not polite at all.
There was no trace of fear on his face, which made Liu Er's attitude more cautious.
No matter why this man came in to do hard labor, the fact that he could remain calm and composed in such an occasion was enough to show that he had something to rely on.
"Don't be nervous, young master. I pulled you out of that filthy place just to make friends with you two."
Yinzhen chuckled slightly and looked at Liu Er's face intently.
"Make friends? Sorry, I don't have the inclination to make friends with gangsters!"
As he expected, the moment the word "bandit" came out, Liu Er's expression suddenly changed. After taking a closer look at Yinzhen's face, Liu Er gritted his teeth in anger.
Drinking will cause trouble!
Otherwise, how could he have been discovered by a young boy?
Liu Er's expression quickly turned calm again.
"Young Master has a good eye and is quite courageous..."
Yinzhen heard the hidden threat in his words and smiled faintly.
"In terms of courage, I am not as good as you.
Although I don't know what you are doing behind the scenes, but what is open to the public is that you privately set up prisons at the port and detained a large number of able-bodied men, and colluded with officials and bandits. Any one of these is a heinous crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan!
You still come here with a clear conscience and speak nonsense in front of me, tsk..."
As Yinzhen spoke the last part, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face, as if he was mocking Liu Er for being ignorant of the danger.
Even though Liu Er had just warned himself not to get angry easily, he couldn't help but frown at this moment.
"Young Master, are you really not afraid that I will kill you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became tense. Deng Yunlin took two steps forward and stood in front of Yinzhen.
Yinzhen smiled slightly, patted Deng Yunlin lightly, and signaled him to relax.
"You dare not..."
Liu Er's breath stagnated, as if his forced confidence had been punctured, and he suddenly became a little furious.
"Why wouldn't I dare? As soon as I shout, the brothers guarding outside will rush in and cut you two into pieces!"
Now even Deng Yunlin has seen that he is just a facade.
From the moment Liu Er entered the door, Yinzhen began to deliberately provoke him and make him move at his own pace.
As for why he was so sure that Liu Er would not kill him, it was because Liu Er came to see him alone.
