Chapter 411

"They really said that?"

In a stilted building that was barely luxuriously decorated, Patriarch Shui finished holding a golden pig and asked the two women who had just served tea to Shen Mingjiao and his party.

The two women nodded: "That's what they said."

Chief Shui waved the two of them down, and the dogleg on the side asked curiously: "Why haven't I heard about the thousand-year-old agarwood in our village?"

Chief Shui stroked his beard and waved his hand indifferently:

"What's the point? Don't people outside like to tell us how mysterious and evil our Miao people are?

Besides, you just heard that they also came here after listening to the words of some wandering Taoist priests. It was obvious that they were deceived! At first glance, she looks like a young lady who is uneasy about the world. "

The loser is still a little worried: "Didn't the grandson of the Wu clan leader come here to ask for medicine? Why did he bring these people here?"

"Don't worry, I've already told people on the way that these people are actually businessmen who came to collect timber. They want to see the ancient Miao people, which should bring a lot of benefits to the ancestors and grandchildren of the Wu family. The leader of the Wu family asked this boy to give them to By the way."

Hearing this, the dog-legged man smiled and suggested: "In that case, how about we..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Chief Shui raised his hand with a smile on his face: "I thought so too, but you didn't listen to what she said. His father is the richest man in the north. If we can trick her father here..."

Goujiuzi scratched his head: "But... how can you deceive this! There are no thousand-year-old agarwood in our village!"

Chief Shui frowned: "Win over the people first, the methods are all thought up by people."

At this time, a strong man hurriedly ran in: "Chief, there is news from Xizhai that the people captured a few days ago are on a hunger strike."

Chief Shui slapped the table irritably: "How many times have I told you that you still need me to teach you about this kind of thing? If she doesn't eat, just open her mouth and feed it to her."

After saying that, he added with a solemn face: "That's the person the saint wants, but watch it carefully. If anything goes wrong, just wait and feed it to the snake!"

The strong man responded obediently, and when he turned around, he spat in his heart.

If it hadn't been for that incident, the direct descendants of the Shui Tribe had died and been imprisoned. How could it have been the turn of a fool like him to be the leader of the tribe?

…

With the "fat sheep" Shen Mingjiao here, they didn't need to take the initiative. Chief Shui used the poor excuse that the guests of Shenwu Village must stay for three days to keep them.

But he asked Fuling, who came here in the name of seeking medicine, to leave. After all, Fuling was the next clan leader of Wujiazhai, so he couldn't offend him too much.

Fuling actually wanted to stay and watch the fun, but Shen Mingjiao insisted on driving him away.

"This is our private matter. You are from Wujiazhai and you will live here for a long time in the future. There is no need to get involved. Go back! Go back and tell your grandfather that you will not break your promise to him."

After sending Poria cocos away, Shen Mingjiao led the people around.

In the name of showing them the way, Chief Shui asked people to follow him at a short distance.

Shen Mingjiao didn't care at all. Every time she passed by, she would take a look at the trees along the way. He even inquires about the agarwood from everyone he meets.

It's a pity that there are a lot of houses here, but not many people live there. The people I encounter are either working with dull expressions, or they are obedient and have their heads lowered, not daring to look at people. In short, they are basically unable to communicate normally.

After walking like this for a long time, they naturally gained nothing. Shen Mingjiao returned to the stilted building arranged for them irritably.

After returning to the room and making sure no one was eavesdropping, Ming Yi slumped down on the chair and took out a pack of dried meat from his arms.

"Don't you know how to use hypnosis? If you just ask someone, you'll know everything?"

Shen Mingjiao took off her outer robe: "I tried, but I can't hypnotize anyone here."

Ming almost bit his tongue: "If you are such a god, how about that leader of the Shui clan?"

"It's not that it's completely impossible to hypnotize, it's just that it's much more difficult than ordinary people. I'm too lazy to put in the effort."

"Then what are you going to do? You go out and wander around like this, but you can't get any news?"

Shen Mingjiao took a sip of tea: "Who said I didn't find out?

The Shenwu Village was supposed to be similar to the ordinary Miao Village. About ten or twenty years ago, a clan coup occurred, many people died, and some important members of the clan were imprisoned in the Xizhai.

From then on, Xizhai was specially guarded and no one else was allowed to enter. Some of the remaining ordinary tribesmen succumbed to the new force, namely Chief Shui, while others became dead and numb, or lived in fear.

Therefore, if we want to find out more, we have to find a way to go to Xizhai. "

After hearing her long words, Ming was so shocked that the dried meat in his mouth no longer smelled good: "Those people obviously didn't say anything. How do you know so much? Did you find someone to investigate in advance, but it's not right either. …”

Shen Mingjiao smiled: "You forgot where I am."

It took Ming a while to realize, yes! Shen Mingjiao came from a high family and was a princess. She dealt with a group of royal wives all day long. These wives of high-ranking officials are the most attentive to words and expressions, and they can understand a dozen twists and turns in their words. What does this little fuss in front of them mean?

She continued to concentrate on eating the dried meat and asked vaguely: "Then when do you plan to take action?"
