"You come with us."

The officers and soldiers came over and opened the door, asking Xiaohe to follow.

She thought she had been let go, and Xiaohe's face was filled with joy. At this moment, she was glad that her appearance accounted for seven points in the city, and she walked much more briskly.

When she walked out of the dark cell, she saw that the officers and soldiers did not take her out, and her expression became more and more solemn. She pretended to be a frightened little white rabbit and turned around and asked: "Brother, where are you taking me?"

Two officers and soldiers took her one behind the other. The officer behind raised his eyes and glanced at her, unmoved at all: "You will know when we get there."

Not far away.

After walking for less than half a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a reception hall. Sitting there were two men of similar age, about thirty years old, wearing green official uniforms. The one on the right she recognized was the county magistrate from Mancheng. Mr. Jiang, where is the one on the left? And Lin Ling is sitting next, why is she there?

Shan summoned people. I didn’t believe it at first: “Is this girl really a barbarian?”

Lin Ling nodded and took out a few letters from his arms: "These were all found in Xiaohe's house, and they are signed by her."

"No, no, I..."

Xiao He wanted to quibble, but the next moment a knife was placed on her neck, scaring her into silence.

Shan Zhao had already put the letter on the table and opened it with Mr. Jiang to check it.

When he saw the contents of the letter, his face became increasingly ugly, and finally he threw it on the table.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to be so ambitious. Come on!"

"exist."

"Arrest all the people mentioned in the letter immediately!"

"Yes."

Xiaohe looked at those letters and fell into despair. These letters were supposed to be sent yesterday, but now that she was here, she couldn't run away.

Shan Zhao didn't feel sorry for such a weak woman at all. It was precisely because he felt that Xiao He was weak and that the barbarians were afraid of being beaten and that there would be no troops to attack the Yue Kingdom within decades, so he let these people sneak into Mancheng. It was almost, almost. Capture a city easily.

Mr. Jiang didn't dare to talk at all. If something like this happened under his jurisdiction, he would be in trouble. It would be too late to feel sorry for himself. How could he care about others?

Xiao He was taken down to wait for punishment.

Lin Ling was also taken back and lived in the backyard of the government house with Gu Panhui.

There were officers and soldiers guarding the outside. Lin Ling was lying on the bed. As soon as his guard was relaxed, he fell into a drowsy state.

Gu Panhui was tossing his feet outside, and it didn't take long for him to get acquainted with the officers and soldiers guarding the outside. When he asked if this was useful, the officer and soldier didn't know Qing Gong, but said he would help him ask.

At this time, all three streets in the city where the barbarians lived were blocked, and more than 3,000 people in total were not allowed to go out.

In other places, a scattered number of people, regardless of age, were arrested and thrown into prison. Aborigines from all over the city with wives and children went to the gate of the government to make trouble, but they were also locked up.

The cells were also full, with a thousand people locked up.

Not counting those who left Mancheng.

You must know that the city has a total population of about 20,000, but barbarians account for nearly half.

When he got this number, Mr. Jiang looked very ugly. He sighed repeatedly and looked at Shan Zhao for help: "Sir Shan, is there any way..."

Shan Zhao said nothing, took out his pen and ink, repaired the book and returned to Beijing.

Everyone has no secrets in their affairs. As for how to make a decision, it depends on the Holy Spirit.

The letter was rushed away by Babaili.

On this day, the whole city was filled with complaints. Either the daughter-in-law is arrested, or the son-in-law is arrested, that's it, the consecutive grandchildren cannot be let go.

Many people wanted to come and cry for grievances, but they were frightened by the officers and soldiers who drew their swords and retracted their heads.

Noon the next day.

Lin Ling and Gu Panhui were walking around. The streets were deserted, and they occasionally saw a few figures, also in a hurry.

Most of the shops on both sides were closed, and there were very few people doing business in the city. It seemed that the city was paralyzed because of this incident.

The two quickened their pace and went straight to Qi De's house. Hearing the knock on the door, the bodies of Zide and the three of them were shaken. Fortunately, they were not officers or soldiers when they opened the door.

"Hey, it's great that you guys are okay!" Zide has been worried for three days. After all, he is his big customer. Business is not good now, so he should not get into trouble.

"Doctor Lin."

Wang Ziming came over to greet him, and Huang Liang followed beside him. He just smiled and said nothing.

Lin Ling and Gu Panhui walked in. She walked side by side with Qi De and said straight to the point: "Do you still have any seeds?"

Zide nodded immediately: "Yes, someone is selling it during this time, the price is cheap, I bought seven or eight bags, if you want it, I will take it all away for a tael of silver."

"What seeds are there?"

"It's all leftovers from the seed shop. Potatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, and corn. It's all there, but I don't know how much."

"Where are the medicinal seeds?"

"Yes, but the price is a bit expensive. Just three bags. Angelica notoginseng and ginseng have a little bit of everything. If you want it, you can take it all away for a tael of silver."

Zide pushed open the warehouse door, which was full of seeds.

Lin Ling checked that there was no problem and looked back.

Gu Panhui quickly gave the money. He had won a lot in the past few days, but his mother didn't ask for it. He thought it was private money, but he didn't expect that he was overthinking it.

However, he also remembered one thing: "Mom, our carriage."

"We'll look for it later."

Lin Ling also remembered one more thing: "Have you found the textile machine I asked you to look for before?"

Zide nodded: "Those are the things of the barbarians. Now that they have been captured, let's see if we can buy them later?"

What happened next is unclear.

After Lin Ling finished her work, she turned around and saw Wang Ziming and Huang Liang still standing there, and said, "You saw our things."

"Yes." Wang Ziming agreed quickly and bumped Huang Liang's elbow without saying anything.

Only then did Huang Liang realize that he was accepted, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I promise there will be no problems!"

Lin Ling hummed and took Gu Panhui back to look for him.

We searched all over the yard, but no one was there.

Gu Panhui heard a slight movement and ran to the secret base. When he saw Lao De, who was pale and covered in blood on the ground, he was shocked: "How are you?"

He rushed over and tried to help others, but his injuries prevented him from doing so.

There was blood in the yard. It must have been a conflict with the officers and soldiers.

Lao De raised his eyelids, and it took a while for the blurry picture to become clear. When he saw it was Gu Panhui, he wriggled his lower lip: "Help, help me, give this to No. 16 Zhuang'an Street, thank you, thank you."

Just holding on for a breath, he closed his eyes and held a money bag in his hand.

Gu Panhui knew that Lao De had an old mother, a daughter-in-law, and a three-year-old child. Seeing him like this, he could only collect the money bag, close his eyes, and leave with his mother.

They found No. 16 Zhuang'an Street and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a beautiful woman: "Who are you? What's wrong?" She even just opened a crack as big as a palm.

"This is what Lao De asked me to give to you." Gu Panhui handed it over, looked through the woman, and his eyes lit up: "My horse!"

He pushed the door open.

Lin Ling also saw it, it was his own carriage.
