Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs
Chapter 263 Chaos
The steward snorted coldly and said, "Don't you just want this inn? No way, unless I die."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head away from Wen Xian, making it clear that he would not cooperate with other questions.
Wen Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and when she thought of something, she suddenly laughed and said: "You want a post station? What will I do with your shabby inn station? Besides, you guys started the matter first. Now she diverted her attention. This move is right. I am useless."
She stayed at the inn, had a meal and fell asleep, but she was suspected of wanting this inn. The manager was either hysterical or deliberately lying.
She sneered and said, "I'll give you one night to think about it. If you still can't make it clear, I don't mind giving in."
If you are shameless, don't blame her for being cold and heartless.
She waved her hand and said to Zhu San: "Put it down and guard it alone."
She had to sleep tonight, but she didn't have much time to examine each one carefully. I can only knock them all out first and continue tomorrow morning.
However, these people seemed to have made an appointment to be tough, and refused to tell the truth.
Wen Xian wasn't angry either. After asking everyone about it, she probably had an idea. Then Zhu San was asked to imprison everyone until she could continue the interrogation tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, Wen Xian had a simple breakfast and then began to interrogate the assassin from last night.
Jiang Chen came over soon. He was in pretty good condition today, so Wen Xian asked him to be responsible for interrogating the traitors on his side.
Perhaps after a night of detention, and with Zhu San and the others asking questions and kicking them from time to time during the night, the assassins' mental state was not that good at the moment.
With a little bit of skill, it seems that you can get the answer you want to know.
But there were too many assassins, and it would take too much time for Wen Xian to ask questions alone. Therefore, she asked An Ye to interrogate the others, while she continued to interrogate the steward who had been so stubborn last night.
After the steward came over, Wen Xian picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then she said quietly: "Have you thought about what to say? Remember, you only have one chance. If you don't say it this time, will you say it next time? , then you can’t say for sure.”
She didn't want to waste her time on this. To put it bluntly, the reason why they took action was not that important to her.
Even if it is really coming for her, so what, if the soldiers come to block the water and the earth covers it, her people can handle it.
She could also kill them all without leaving any survivors, which didn't make much difference to her.
Besides, she felt that these people were going after Jiang Chen, not her.
Seeing Wen Xian's attitude, the manager's heart skipped a beat, and his face was still a little tangled.
Wu Junlan, who was standing next to him, scolded: "Speak quickly, or you will be killed."
After Wu Junlan finally became a military commander, he was also training recently. Coupled with a smart outfit, he can be bluffing even when he is fierce.
The steward trembled, but in the end his determination to survive defeated his integrity and told him what he knew.
It was okay not to say it, but Wen Xian was stunned when she heard this.
It turns out that yesterday's assassins were not a gang, but four gangs.
One group is the people from the inn headed by the steward, one group is the people who betrayed Jiang Chen himself, one group is the people from the Minbei Mansion, and the last group is the people from the Jiang family's branch.
It was precisely because of the involvement of people from the Jiang family that the traitors on Jiang Chen's side helped deal with Jiang Chen.
Wen Xian was amazed after hearing this. She didn't expect that she would meet so many people just after arriving at a small inn.
Two of them belonged to the Jiang family. It was not known whether it was a coincidence or whether they had planned to follow Jiang Chen. But she found it strange that there was a precedent for Jiang family's branches to sneak attack on her, so why didn't they come directly to her yard to sneak attack her, but instead directly targeted Jiang Chen?
No matter what, this is the Jiang family's business. Wen Xian then singled out those from the Jiang family's side and left them all to Jiang Chen to handle, while she continued to review the affairs.
As for the people in Minbei Mansion, she planned to conduct a brief interrogation first, and then take them directly to Minbei Mansion. She would talk about it when they got to Minbei Mansion.
She guessed that the purpose of these people was very simple, they just wanted the inn. That's why I came up with the idea of taking care of things last night.
But whether this is actually the case is unknown. After all, if you want an inn, you should find the people in charge of these inns, rather than sneak attacks on Jiang Chen.
Wen Xian took another sip of tea and said calmly to the steward: "So, what you said last night was that someone from Minbei Prefecture wanted to occupy the inn?"
On second thought, I shouldn't. There is a war going on over there in Minbei Prefecture. Who has the time to take care of this small inn?
However, the shopkeeper pursed his lips and said, "No, it's those other people."
"Huh?" Wen Xian asked in surprise, "Those other people who were arrested last night?"
In addition, those people were not the Jiang family, but the Jiang family wanted to rob this inn, which surprised her very much.
"Yes, it's them." The steward sighed, "Those people started to coerce and induce them to hand over the inn a month ago."
This was another reason for their caution. Several people were paying attention to the station, which made them not panic.
Wen Xian's mouth twitched slightly, and she said quietly: "Then why did you cooperate with the sneak attack yesterday?"
How funny? He clearly has a grudge against a branch of the Jiang family, yet he cooperates with them to attack Jiang Chen?
Those who didn't know better thought they were a group of people, not enemies.
Thinking of this, the steward said sarcastically: "Just because someone rushes ahead, we can fish in troubled waters."
Someone rushed ahead for them, but it was too late for them to be happy. It's just a good time to join in the fun and occasionally have a good sneak attack.
"Why did you sneak attack?" Wen Xian said coolly, "I ask myself that we are just taking a rest and staying for one night, and we have no grievances or enmities against you."
She continued: "Logically speaking, you should also ensure our safety."
They stayed at the inn, and they didn't know their identities. The inn should ensure their safety, so why did they come to assassinate them.
"I heard that the head of the Jiang family lives in that courtyard." The steward's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, "Besides, if everyone goes to that courtyard, it would be bad for us to act alone."
They also want to ensure the safety of their own people. It is better to follow other assassins to pick up the slack than to open a battlefield on their own.
Wen Xian's mouth twitched slightly, her eyes were a little complicated, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
To say that this steward is smart, at least he knows not to rush ahead, lest he lose his life.
But it happened that he used his cleverness in the wrong place. He didn't even figure out the identity of the attacker, and made a big mistake.
"What? We're not all in the same group?" After hearing Wen Xian's words, the manager said in disbelief, "We're not all from the Jiang family. It can't be such a big deal. The family members don't know about it, right?"
Wen Xian said quietly: "Then tell me, why would the person who threatened you assassinate the head of your family?"
Normal people would not think that the two parties involved were in the same group.
