Do you want a guy who came to you crying and begging to be your lackey? For Zhang Shou, this was a question that was not worth considering. Was he just bored? He didn't want to use a bunch of talented little guys at home, a helper with good character that Ah Liu personally picked out from inside and outside the capital, but a black market guy who did dirty work
Even if he needs someone to do the dirty work in the future... can anyone do it more efficiently than Ah Liu
Therefore, after asking Jiang Zhuo'er who the guys who had also accepted the mission were, he hooked his finger at Ah Liu, and then left Jiang Zhuo'er in the torture room without a care in the world, and then took Ah Liu out to the study. He said directly: "Can you contact Master Hua Qi? If you can, throw this hot potato out. There are no torture instruments in this torture room, so you won't be able to fool people for long."
"Not tonight." Ah Liu shook his head directly. Seeing Zhang Shou was a little surprised, he said solemnly, "Something might happen tonight. I don't have any evidence, but I just feel something is wrong."
Zhang Shou was not superstitious, but he did not doubt his so-called sixth sense. After all, for someone like him who had lived in peace for too long and had spent most of his time in comfort after arriving in this world, his premonition of danger was almost zero, and at most he could only judge the crisis from the changes in the situation.
At this moment, after hearing what Ah Liu said, he recalled the situation when he and Zhu Ying heard about the rebellion in the Linhai camp in the village. Thinking about the events that had happened one after another in the past few days, it seemed that a storm was about to come. He couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart, and his relaxed expression disappeared.
"I see. I'll do as you say. Just keep him in prison and don't bother with him. Don't send anyone to report the incident, lest anyone who goes out gets hurt at night. Go arrange the defenses yourself. I, an amateur, won't give orders to you, an expert."
Ah Liu was naturally very happy to be called an expert by Zhang Shou. He agreed with great enthusiasm and then strode out. However, he turned back after only two steps and said hesitantly, "Although the madman has trained many people, he is still not very experienced. Why don't you and your wife go to Tiangongfang? It's safe there."
Hearing such a reasonable suggestion, Zhang Shou was about to agree, but suddenly he had a vague idea in his mind.
You know, underground secret rooms and secret passages are the last resort for the rich these days. In addition, they are hidden deep underground, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you really encounter a dead end, you can even move away immediately. Many secret passages even have self-destruct devices - of course, they will never use gunpowder to self-destruct...
Who could tolerate having a gunpowder depot under their house that could explode into the sky at any time
But things like secret passages and secret rooms are afraid of two things, one is water, the other is fire. Water attack is afraid of people diverting water back, but fortunately, most people these days are not crazy enough to use this method of siege on secret passages and secret rooms.
As for fire, it is impossible for the secret passage to collapse, because it is difficult for the fire to spread underground, but the problem is that where there is fire, there is smoke. In this era when air circulation depends entirely on vents, smoke prevention is completely unrealistic. After a house is burned, the air is full of smoke, and the secret passage is unlikely to be spared.
