Chapter 1740: Chapter 1743: Inquiries
“Commandery Princess, please rest assured and wait here. We’ve already arranged everything. All young people of similar age, whether they are the Young Prince or not, will be detained separately. When it gets dark, I will take you to identify them.”
Anxiously waiting a whole day, the charity event for the holess concluded, and those of similar age to Jin Xuyao were gathered in one place.
Jin Luoyin and Zhu Yiping quickly changed their clothes, wrapping themselves tightly, and followed the shopkeeper along with a few local business friends to a residence where those people were held, awaiting Jin Luoyin’s inspection.
They still employed the initial questioning thod; those whose backgrounds were clear could be excluded first.
The shopkeeper began with a lecture: “All of you are citizens of Zhuzhao Country. Whether your small businesses failed, or for other reasons beca holess, you all remain here because you lack enough Silver to return ho.
In a mont, we will question you, and you must answer truthfully. If you respond well and do not lie, you will receive gifts from the Dexiguang Restaurant.
Sufficient Silver Tael and food for your return to Zhuzhao Country, along with a letter of introduction from Dexiguang Restaurant. Not only can you return ho, but you can also secure work for your future livelihood.”
The crowd stirred with excitent, eagerly agreeing, vying to answer their questions.
“Boss, ask , I will answer everything I know without reservation!”
“Boss, ask , I will definitely tell the truth!”
These holess, starving for days, with such a tempting offer, even if they only received enough food to fill their bellies, they would be extrely cooperative.
It was apparent that most people here were not originally holess.
The shopkeeper nodded at Jin Luoyin, indicating she could begin.
Jin Luoyin stepped forward and started asking them one by one.
“Young man, where are you from?”
The person hesitated for a mont as a woman’s voice unexpectedly erged from the thick robe, then said, “I am from the Jiangnan region of Zhuzhao Country. In my early years, I followed my parents to Beiyi to do silk business, but my parents couldn’t adapt to the environnt here. Shortly after coming, they fell ill one after another. We spent all the Silver from selling our silk, and they still passed away, leaving only .”
Jin Luoyin felt sowhat disappointed but still inquired, “Do you have any other family mbers?”
The young man replied, “There’s no one else, but there was a marriage arranged early on, which used to match our family status. But now… I’ve beco like this, and after so many years, I’m sure she has already married soone else.”
Jin Luoyin paused in silence, shaking her head at the shopkeeper.
The young man nervously watched Jin Luoyin, seeing her shake her head, thinking his answer displeased her, hurriedly said, “Miss, this young Miss, every word I’ve said is true, not a single lie…”
Jin Luoyin said, “You’ll receive Silver and food later. They will give you an introduction letter from Jiangnan Dexiguang Restaurant, and you can get a well-paying job.”
Hearing Jin Luoyin’s words, he finally felt at ease.
After profusely thanking her, he followed the servant away.
With the first person gone, the others relaxed significantly.
The questions Jin Luoyin asked were mostly the sa: where are you from, and why did you end up like this?
They answered honestly, and all received food, Silver, and introduction letters from various locations.
