Chapter 198 – Emergency Conscription
Zhang He guided all of them to a private room that Ju Shou prepared for them. It was a closed room with one entrance and no window.
"The air is quite stale. Are you sure you want to receive us here?" A fat merchant asked.
"Please bear with it for a short while. Because our deal is somewhat immoral to the public, we can't let a voice out, or we can risk exposing ourselves to others. You know, we want it a secret." Zhang He explained as he shut the gate.
As soon as the door was shut, nobody can hear what happened inside the room.
Ten minutes later, Zhang He opened the door and stepped out of the room. His clothes covered in blood and the room reeked of iron. He closed the door behind him and said to the guards nearby.
"Don't clean the room yet. Clean it at night and make sure nobody sees the bodies."
"Yes, sir!"
…
Zhang He ordered the city sealed and took his men and visited the merchants' companies later.
