Zhang Erniu nodded and smiled, then ran out to find Meng Zhuang.
A moment later, Meng Zhuang hurried to the cell door without even putting on his clothes.
"Master Du, may I have a word with you?"
Meng Zhuang glanced at the cell, bowed to the palace guard Du Tianli, and spoke politely.
Du Tianli raised his eyebrows and took two steps forward.
Meng Zhuang hurriedly followed in small steps, bent over to Du Tianli's side, and said softly,
"Master Du, you may not know that we have not yet left the capital, and there are countless eyes watching us.
If we take action against the Xiao family at this time, wouldn’t we be given an opportunity to use force against them?
Besides, the Xiao family members are all very fierce. If they all die accidentally, I won’t be able to explain myself here.”
Meng Zhuang licked his lips and continued with a sly smile,
"Master Du, just wait a little longer. Once we enter Guangfeng City early tomorrow morning, there will be fewer spies from all sides.
We will have plenty of time to deal with the Xiao family then... Hehe... As for the eldest daughter of the Lin family, I will also have someone send me to your room, so I can just do whatever you want with Master Du..."
Meng Zhuang rubbed his hands and grinned at Du Tianli in a flattering way, but there was no smile in his eyes.
What the hell is going on?
In all my years of service, this is the most troublesome time ever.
It was only on the way in the afternoon that he received a hundred taels of silver and a secret letter, asking him to make the Xiao family suffer.
He was in high spirits and planned to take advantage of his drunkenness after dinner to beat up the Xiao family and complete his mission.
As a result, before he could deal with the Xiao family, he was found by the palace guards when he arrived at the post station.
Fortunately, the palace guards and the person who delivered the secret letter had the same goal, which was to make life difficult for the Xiao family.
As long as the purpose is the same, we can clean it up together.
The brothers happily ate the food and wine offered by the imperial guards.
He was lying on the bed after eating and drinking, waiting for his men to bring his concubine, when suddenly a package fell from the roof.
When he opened it, he found that there were five hundred taels of silver notes inside.
Of course he was very excited to see so much silver.
As a result, he opened the secret letter wrapped in the banknote.
He was completely dumbfounded.
Content of the secret letter: Escort the Xiao family safely through Guangfeng City.
This money is really hot.
After passing Guangfeng City, one road leads to Ningguta and the other leads to Brahma City.
The messenger's purpose is self-evident: he wants to rob someone.
After hesitating for a long time, he decided not to touch the Xiao family tonight for the sake of five hundred taels.
This will prevent the kidnapper from seeing the injuries on Xiao's body and then killing him with a knife.
As a result, the palace guards came to cause trouble again.
He wants to make more money, why is it so difficult?
Du Tianli chuckled and glanced at the roof.
Then he crossed his arms and looked Meng Zhuang up and down.
"You don't have to send it to me. I'm just suggesting it. Lord Meng, there's no need to be so nervous."
No matter how many spies hiding in the dark come, they still dare to hide in the dark.
He was ordered by the emperor to monitor the Xiao family, and he was not on the same level as them.
But let’s just forget about accepting the eldest daughter of the Lin family.
There are so many spies watching them. If he humiliates the Lin family like this, it will be disadvantageous to him when the news gets back to the capital.
He is not like Meng Zhuang, who does not need to stay in the capital, and the Lin family has no chance of dealing with Meng Zhuang.
Lin Yiran pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between the two and chuckled softly.
What a coincidence, she also planned to wait until she passed Guangfeng City before taking action.
This place is too close to the capital, and the gates of Guangfeng City are closed now.
If they cause trouble at this time, they will not be able to leave the city, which will delay their escape, and the enemy will come to call for reinforcements more quickly.
Even if Xiao Yunzhan had fully recovered now, she was extremely strong, so it would not be easy for her to escape.
The old are old, the young are young, and the weak are weak. If they are not careful, they will be taken hostage.
It will be difficult to deal with it if we are tied up at that time.
After passing Guangfeng City, she can take action before reaching the next post station.
Lin Yiran lowered her eyelids, silently thinking about where would be the best place to start.
Before that, she had to find a way to persuade the Xiao family to go to Brahma City.
Xiao Yunzhan listened to what Meng Zhuang and the palace guards said, and his eyes fell on Lin Yiran's face at the first moment.
He could hear the conversation outside, and Lin Yiran could definitely hear it too.
Looking at Lin Yiran's expressionless face, Xiao Yunzhan frowned in surprise.
Instead, he had a little more admiration for Lin Yiran.
It's rare to find a woman who can remain so calm even when faced with such a situation.
"Yes, yes, thank you for your advice, Lord Du." Meng Zhuang nodded repeatedly. "You must be tired after a long day of traveling. I'll let the brothers watch over the cell. You can go to the guest room to rest. I'll give it to you later - yes -"
Meng Zhuang pointed at the concubines of the Niu family with a lewd smile on his face.
Du Tianli hesitated for a moment, and looking at the weak and petite concubine, a fire instantly rose in his dantian.
When Meng Zhuang saw Du Tianli's expression, he knew there was nothing he didn't understand.
He immediately ordered two officers to guard the cell door, and then half-pulled and half-dragged Du Tianli to the guest room.
The officers laughed and carried the concubine who had taken the initiative to follow them out, following behind the two men with grins on their faces.
Li Erniu quickly locked the cell and stood guard at the door with a gloomy look on his face.
After working for a long time, he was left behind to watch over the cell.
It's so frustrating.
After the officers left, all the concubines of the Niu family in the cell breathed a sigh of relief.
The Xiao family couldn't swallow this.
