"You knew long ago?"
"The Dantai Family acts with such fanfare. Something as big as blocking off the trade routes couldn't possibly stay hidden. I asked you to talk because I wanted to see whether you would tell the truth."
Wu Yin shook his head. "You really are too sharp."
Lin Taichu walked out of the prison cell, and Zhao Feng locked the iron door behind him.
The two of them went up along the stone steps, their footsteps echoing through the narrow passage.
Zhao Feng asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency, is what Wu Yin said reliable?"
"It is. Wu Yin is locked in the dungeon now, and his life and death are in our hands. He won't gamble with his own life using false intelligence."
"Then what do we do now? Are we really taking men to Dantai Town?"
Lin Taichu did not answer, walking along the stone steps back to the storeroom.
When he pushed open the storeroom door, sunlight streamed in through the window, so glaring it made it impossible to open one's eyes.
Lin Taichu narrowed his eyes, and only after adjusting to the light did he walk out of the storeroom.
"There's no rush with the Dantai Family. First, arrange the matters in the city."
Zhao Feng followed behind him. "Everything in the city has already been arranged. The steward is watching the trading grounds, and the Captain is responsible for the city defenses. This subordinate can set out with Your Excellency at any time."
Lin Taichu walked into the Council Hall and sat down on a chair.
"There's no need to take too many people to Dantai Town. Twenty will be enough. Too many people would only draw attention."
"Will twenty be too few? Dantai Town is the Dantai Family's old nest."
