Chapter 216 Dilemma
Zhou Bo was squeezed into the corner, and the fourth child leaned against him and said softly.
"My lord, shall we take you out?"
Shaking his head, Zhou Bo whispered.
"We came here this time to subdue these private salt dealers. Now that they have arrested us, it must not be just for the sea salt. How can we investigate if we go out?"
The fourth child said anxiously.
"But we are tied here and there is no way to investigate! In case they get murderous, when the time comes..."
With a chuckle, Zhou Bo shook his head.
"Don't worry, if we really want to kill, we won't be able to get here! According to my inference, the court has already arrived, otherwise they wouldn't be so anxious to transfer..."
The fourth child was a little surprised.
"How long did it take for our letter to be delivered? Even if the imperial court sends someone, it won't arrive in such a short period of time!"
"Yeah, that's why we have to figure out what they want to do..."
The fourth child turned his head and said nothing, anyway, he couldn't say anything, so he might as well rest!
Everyone stayed in the room and waited quietly. Seeing that no one paid any attention to them, Zhou Bo couldn't bear it anymore.
Squeezing to the door, Zhou Bo kept kicking the door with his feet.
The salt seller standing outside the door frowned.
"What?"
"My lord, I'm starving to death, at least give us a bite to eat!"
"Eat what to eat, stay quietly!"
Zhou Bo didn't listen to him this time, and continued to shout inside.
Although the others didn't know what the adults were going to do, they also shouted.
Seeing this, the other salt seller smiled helplessly.
"Hey, everyone is going to eat and drink well, and we two unlucky ghosts are just watching here, go and ask, if you have something to eat, bring it to them quickly, if something really happened, I can't explain it..."
Hearing what he said, the other party spat, said 'trouble' and turned to leave!
Seeing that there was only one person left to watch over him, and he was the one who was easy to talk to, Zhou Bo hurriedly made friends with him.
"My lord, you haven't eaten yet, and you still have to watch us. It's really hard work!"
The salt seller smiled wryly.
"Who made our status not high? If you all calm down, I won't have to work so hard!"
"Yes, yes, we must cooperate well! But I think it's not good for you to go on like this!"
The salt seller sneered outside the door.
"What do you know? It's not me who is bad, but you!"
Zhou Bo shook his head.
"My lord's words are wrong. If you want to exchange terms with the court, then you won't kill us prematurely. At least we are safe now! But you are different. If the people from the court arrive, you will immediately kill us." Blame you!"
"Think about it, we were kidnapped and guarded by you, no matter who is behind you, we just need to push you out to get away..."
When the salt seller outside heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
After thinking about it, he has been working for them for many years, so he probably won't be pushed out!
He kicked the door and snorted coldly.
"Shut up, our boss is not that kind of person! Also, put away your petty thoughts, otherwise..."
Zhou Bo didn't care about his threats at all. It was at this moment that he had to get the news out quickly.
"My lord, you have taken extra care of us on board these few days. I remind you for this reason!"
"Think about how much of your share after you sell the salt is in your hands. Think about it again, why didn't your boss show up when you were in Yeyi? Was it because you were afraid of being stared at?" superior?
"But you are different. As locals, who doesn't know what you look like? At this moment, your portraits are probably already placed on His Majesty's dragon case...
"In the past few days, I don't think you are a bad person. It's just that you have to do it for your livelihood. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family... In my opinion, it's better..."
Before he could finish speaking, a rough voice came from outside the door.
"Let them wait, the meal will be here soon!"
Zhou Bo immediately shut his mouth, and the salt seller who was talking to him also stood upright by the door, and the room fell into dead silence again.
It's just that they can't say what kind of thoughts they have.
Not long after, a group of guards came over.
The two doorkeepers greeted them with smiles, thinking they were here to deliver food.
In the end, they were asked to open the door to take Zhou Bo and others away.
Both of them were a little dumbfounded, but they couldn't disobey the order from above, so they could only open the door.
"Get up and come with us."
Zhou Bo had a bad heart and kept yelling.
"Where are you going? We haven't eaten yet!"
The leading guard chuckled and said.
"Don't worry, I'm just taking you to dinner, and I'm sure you'll be full!"
Hearing this, Zhou Bo's premonition became even worse.
The salt seller who had listened to him before asked a question.
"Where are you taking them?"
The guard leader glared at him.
"It has nothing to do with you, you go to eat quickly, you have something to do later!"
After saying that, he led everyone to a hall.
At the head of the hall sat a person with a round body and small eyes.
If Feng Quji was here, he would be able to recognize it, isn't this Yi Shan?
"Boss, someone brought it."
Taking off the hoods of Zhou Bo and the others, the guards took two steps back and stood guard in the hall.
Yi Shan looked at the person in front of him with a smile.
"Zhou Bo? Are you the Yangzi son-in-law?"
Zhou Bo looked at him suspiciously, but didn't make a sound.
"You don't have to deny it. I know you are. I want to tell you good news. Half a month ago, he set off from Xianyang and brought people to rescue you!"
Hearing this, Zhou Bo was startled.
He thought that the person sent by the imperial court would be a certain minister, but he did not expect that the son-in-law would come in person...
All of a sudden, Zhou Bo had mixed feelings in his heart.
Seeing that he was still silent, Yi Shan continued.
"I think you must be a smart person to let the son-in-law entrust you with such an important errand! I believe you also know that even if you take the long way in half a month, you will not be able to reach Jiaodong now..."
"I invite you here just to ask, how to make that snow salt?"
After leaving Xianyang last time, Yi Shan ordered someone to buy some snow salt and bring it back for research.
After such a long time, I tried countless times, but I didn't even make a single snow salt.
Looking up at him, Zhou Bo chuckled.
"Forgive me, even if I tell you, how can the world of Qin tolerate you?"
Yi Shan heard the words and laughed.
"Don't bother Mr. Zhou, let's talk about how to make snow salt!"
Zhou Bo glanced at him, but just stood in the hall without saying a word!
Seeing that he was so uncooperative, Yishan waved his hand.
The leader of the guards directly pulled out a soldier from the crowd, and put the sword on his neck.
Zhou Bo was shocked when he saw this, and shouted repeatedly.
"Don't hurt him..."
Yi Shan smiled sinisterly.
"I didn't intend to hurt anyone. Everything depends on Master Zhou's cooperation. Otherwise, if the guard misses, I can't help it, right?"
Closing his eyes, Zhou Bo knew that today was his own death day.
But he can die, why are these guards guilty?
Immediately regretted in his heart, if he had listened to the fourth child before and escaped in Yeyi, how could he have fallen into such a dilemma.
But if that was the case, how would they know what happened next?
