After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 254 Ning Yi
Xie Jie knew that she was deeply guarded, and he never thought of breaking her defense with just a few words and making her believe in him.

He turned the subject and said, "I heard you've been doing business recently."

Yun Zhuo leaned back slightly, and looked at Xie Jie with a probing look.There wasn't even a trace of surprise or doubt in her eyes.

She knew that her every move could not be hidden from Xie Jie.

Looking at the capital, Xie Jie is the only person who has a close relationship with her and has a high position.And Xie Jie borrowed her hand to do things several times, to be on the safe side, naturally he would not throw her away when he was done using it, but would monitor and pay attention to her words and deeds.

Only he can have such overwhelming power.

"Yes." She readily admitted without even asking Xie Jie's reason and purpose for saying this.

What he wants to know and what he wants to do, he will talk about it clearly.No need for her to ask.

The two have known each other for a long time, and Yun Zhuo still has this understanding.

"There is a big deal over there in Linyao, do you want it?"

Yun Zhuo didn't want Xie Jie to notice his thoughts, so he looked down at the pattern on the teacup to avoid his sight.

She was thinking about Xie Jie's intentions.

Xie Jie, is there anything she needs to do, or is it just a show of favor?What business was it that made Xie Jie speak?
She was silent for a long time, until her throat was a little dry, she raised her head and drank the tea.

Then she heard her own voice: "That depends on what kind of big business it is."

"There are a group of Hu merchants who transported goods from outside the Great Wall to Daye, passing through Linyao. They have no extra travel expenses, and they have recently settled in Linyao. They want to make a move, but they have not been able to find a suitable buyer."

"Why didn't I find a suitable buyer? The price is too low?" Yun Zhuo could only think of this reason.

Xie Jie shook his head: "They hope that buyers can buy all their goods at one time. They originally wanted to come to Kyoto to make a big deal, so they brought a lot of special products."

"It's unreasonable, thank you, sir."

Although Yun Zhuo has never been in contact with these things, she knows the fashion trend in Kyoto clearly: "Things are rare and expensive, Mr. Xie, why do the rich and powerful in Kyoto like things outside the Great Wall? Those glass, gems, and horses are all Things that are not easy to come by, but vegetables, fruits and food have traveled a long distance, and the loss is countless, so how can they have more goods?"

Therefore, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Xie Jie understood her meaning, got up and bowed to her to the end, solemnly said: "I see, thank you very much."

"It's all about reciprocating, Master Xie. You don't need to say thank you. You have had enough refreshments, and the dim sum chef from the family of royal chefs is really good. If there is nothing else, I'll go first?" Yun Zhuo wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief, Said to Xie Jie.

After she finished speaking, seeing that Xie Jie wanted to see her off, she said again: "Master Xie for stopping by, let's think about the Hu merchants in Linyao first."

Xie Jie bowed his head, sat by the window and saw her go downstairs and got into the carriage, and then ordered Wen Lulai: "You send someone to find out the origins of the gang of Hu merchants, and their whereabouts, and how they are with you these days. Who are you in touch with?"

He never thought that there would be a day when he would stumble, and it was indeed his negligence this time.

After hearing that Lu Ying said yes, he stopped him again: "Don't worry, after so many days, I think Ning Yi should also wait anxiously. You can go to Dali Temple with me first."

Wen Lu hesitated for a moment: "How about... why don't you go?"

"Oh?"

"This subordinate knows his mistake." Seeing him raising his eyebrows, Wen Lu immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

……

In the gloomy and cold prison of Dali Temple, there are iron walls everywhere, filled with a disgusting smell of decay, and no sunlight can shine in.

It was blue sky and white sun outside, but dim candles were burning inside.It's like two worlds.

Song Duo was not here today, and when he heard that Xie Jie was coming to see Ning Yi, he sent a letter to ask his subordinates to wait in the Yamen.

No, Wang who got the message was waiting here early, and when he saw Xie Jie and the guards around him coming, he hurried up to greet him: "Master Xie, please drink tea."

Xie Jie just came out of the teahouse, and he couldn't drink anymore. He waved his hand: "Song Duo already told you, right? Take us to see Ning Yi."

Wang Da nodded and bowed, put down the teacup, turned around and said, "This way please."

The prison of Dali Temple is built underground, and the people of Dali Temple don't call it that, but simply and clearly call it the dungeon.

The dungeon is cold and damp, and the steps paved with bricks and stones are covered with lichen grass and green moss. Looking past, it is a deep green.

The next step leads to a narrow passageway, with all kinds of prisoners being imprisoned on both sides of the passageway.

Wang Da led them straight to the cell at the end of the corridor. A man in a white prison uniform sat in a corner with his back facing them. He didn't turn his head to watch the situation even after hearing footsteps.

It seemed as if he had lost all hope of his situation.

Wang Da picked up the lock and knocked on the iron railing, the two collided together, and soon made a clear and complicated sound.Then Wang Da's voice sounded: "Ning Yi, look who is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Lubin stuffed a piece of silver into his hand: "My lord has something to say to him, you go outside and wait for a while."

Wang Da took the money and said flatteringly: "Okay, okay, the little one is outside, if the adults have any business, just tell the little ones to do it."

At this time, people who can come to the dungeon to see him, except Xie Jie, don't think about him.

Thinking like this, Ning Yi turned around slowly, revealing a face with staggered scars and a blood-stained prison uniform in front of him.

It is enough to see how much he has suffered in this dungeon.

He was still sitting in the corner, without any intention of getting up and approaching him, and grinned lazily at Xie Jie: "I thought you weren't coming."

Xie Jie glanced at him indifferently: "It seems that Song Duo has taken good care of you here."

"It's still thanks to you." Ning Yi laughed again, and because of the wound, his smile quickly became ferocious.Even so, he didn't cover the painful place with his hands.

If you look closely, you can see that his hands are hanging by his side, lifeless.

Seeing Xie Jie frowning, Wen Lu was afraid that he would be angry, so he hurriedly asked Ning Yi first: "My lord treats you well, why did you betray my lord!"

Ning Yi seemed to hear a big joke, and looked up at the two people standing under the candle with absurd faces: "He treats me well, and I work hard for him; someone throws better conditions, and I work for that People sacrifice their lives, what's wrong with that?"

"My lord has saved your life!" Wen Lu said in a low voice.

Xie Jie still stood there, neither sad nor happy.It seems that whether it is Wen Lu or Ning Yi, it has nothing to do with him.
