Brother Pao continued, "While watching that play, I was thinking, that ever since you came to this world, you've been living a much more exciting life than I have."
Chen Ji smiled and said, "It's all just a play."
Brother Pao curiously asked, "How do you plan to rescue him? I heard Prince Jing committed treason, a very grave offense. Although I don't know the laws of the Ning Dynasty, I know that historically, such matters are hard to overturn."
Chen Ji calmly replied, "A few days ago, the Crown Prince said to me that the Renshou Palace and places like the Six Livestock Farm, where people are bought and sold, are no different. As long as you have enough bargaining chips, you can exchange for anything you want."
Brother Pao nodded, "I understand. What should I do?"
Chen Ji instructed, "Three things."
"The first thing?"
"Let all the illegal salt merchants in the south know that we are selling salt permits to attract more people."
