No matter how these Bing Merchants cried out for their parents, Liu Cheng'en strode out of the barracks and came to Cui Xiawu.
"General Cui, fortunately, the mission was accomplished; these rebels' letters have all been obtained."
"Using these letters, we can deceive the rebels to open their gates, thus capturing their Dock Fortress and mansion bloodlessly."
Liu Cheng'en excitedly handed this stack of letters to Cui Xiawu, who received them with both hands.
"Rest assured, Eunuch Liu, our men are already stationed outside the Eight Great Merchants' mansions. I will send carrier pigeons immediately to initiate action!"
"Bingzhou is initially a frontier, and these Bing Merchants built their mansions with high walls for self-defense, some even constructing Dock Fortresses."
"If we enter rashly, we will certainly face resistance; though we have firearms, we fear harming others."
"If we can deceive them into opening the Dock Fortress gates, that would be best."
