"Where did you abduct these people from?" Zhu Yu asked.
The old steward trembled: "I've never gone out to abduct anyone myself, sirs, you can see it yourselves, at my age, even if I had the intention, I couldn't execute it!
The people were all brought in by brothers from outside. I can only guess from their clothes and accents when they begged for mercy when they first arrived. Most of them are Lan people, with some being Jin and Shuo people."
"Any Jie people?" This rare question actually came from Lu Zhang.
"No, no, there really aren't any," the old steward quickly answered, "The Jie people live far away, and they are notoriously fierce and skilled in battle. Who would dare provoke them without reason?!"
"Not provoke them? Weren't you wearing Jie armor, pretending to be Jie Country soldiers to commit crimes outside?" Yan Shu scolded.
