Yan Ruyu looked around and saw that there was no one around her, and lowered her voice.

"Please take those two old servants away and place them elsewhere. My young master is in a special situation and I don't want to let outsiders live with them."

"Besides, what you saw about the shaman must not be spread to anyone else."

"Okay," Master agreed, "No problem. Please don't worry, Master. I promise I won't talk nonsense."

Yan Ruyu smiled and saluted: "Thank you."

The master left in a flash and went straight to the government office.

As soon as he came back, he told Magistrate Wu what he had seen and heard, except of course the gold leaf.

"Sir, that shaman, good guy, is so scary. I am so old and I have never seen such a scary person. He is silent and as if he is dead. Moreover, he can't walk with both legs. Being carried in.”

Magistrate Wu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Then it seems that this matter is true."

The master was puzzled: "How can you see it?"

"I heard that shamans are much more powerful than our fortune tellers in the Central Plains. They can peek into the secrets of the heavens, but if the secrets are leaked too much, they will suffer backlash. That's why he became like that. Eighty percent of the secrets were backlashed."

The master's face turned pale: "Ah? Then I..."

"What are you afraid of? You didn't reveal the secret," Wu County Magistrate waved his hand, "God will not accept people like you."

The master blinked and felt that this was somewhat right, but not quite right.

"By the way, you have to handle the matters Mr. Jia has assigned you well."

The master frowned again: "What does it mean to spread quietly? It has to be spread quietly. Can it be spread quietly?"

Magistrate Wu stroked his beard and thought for a long time: "Yes, you go and tell your sister quietly about this, and tell her not to let anyone else know."

The master was slightly surprised: "What do you mean..."

"If your sister knows about it, she will naturally help you spread it, and she will do it quickly and quietly."

Master: "..."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe walked around the house and found nothing unusual.

"The next step is to wait patiently. Once Beibei enters Lincheng and the progress is almost the same, we can start here and use these few days to explore the situation here."

Huo Changhe straightened his back and showed no sign of weakness: "Going for a walk in the evening?"

"it is good."

Yongchang County was more lively at night. The two of them changed their clothes, which were different from those during the day. They went to small restaurants and teahouses to sit and listen to gossip and people's livelihood.

After listening, Yan Ruyu turned her eyes outside and saw two carriages turning the corner on the street, with two angry wind lanterns hung on the carriages.

The light disappeared in a flash, but she clearly saw that it should be written with the word "county government" on it.

It's getting late and the city gates are about to close. Where is the county government's carriage going?

Huo Changhe noticed her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Ruyu pointed: "Over there, let's go and have a look."

The two of them quickly checked out and went downstairs. After leaving the teahouse and reaching the intersection, the two carriages had already walked some distance away, but the headlights of the cars in front were swaying and the words on them were clear. Yan Ruyu read them correctly.

He followed the carriage and walked around. The carriage did not leave the city, but stopped in front of a large house on the edge of the west city.

The carriage was full, and Yan Ruyu picked up a few scattered ones, smelling a faint scent of grass.

Huo Changhe twisted the straw: "This is horse feed, and it is of the highest quality."

"Strange," he wondered, "Yongchang County does not have the task of raising horses, let alone such horse feed. What does the county government do with these?"

Yan Ruyu pointed at the courtyard wall: "Go in and take a look."

Huo Changhe took her to the side wall and jumped in using his strength.

The house was quite large, and the carriage was still moving forward after entering. The sound of horse hooves was particularly clear in the night.

The two followed the carriage through two yards before the carriage stopped. There were people patrolling not far away.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

"The weather is too dry, the horses are too thin, and the grass is beautiful!"

"A horse will not be fat if it does not eat night grass!"

Yan Ruyu whispered: "There is actually a secret code."

Huo Changhe also felt that it was unusual: "It seems to be extraordinary."

Yan Ruyu is in high spirits. No matter if it is ordinary or not, ordinary is fine. The more extraordinary it is, the more likely it is that it will be faked away by you.

After the signal was passed, the carriage moved forward a little further and stopped in front of the fu soldiers. The fu soldiers checked the fodder on the carriage and ordered people to unload the fodder inside.

With two carts of fodder, the time was not too short. Yan Ruyu didn't want to wait any longer, so she let Huo Changhe have a break and quietly entered through the back window.

There are several large piles of haystacks here, and the tall room is almost filled to the roof, which shows that it was not filled in one day.

After the fodder was unloaded, the soldiers sent the driver away and gave him some broken silver. Judging from his previous familiarity, this must not be the first time.

As soon as they left, the warehouse became quiet, but the door was not locked, as if they were still waiting for someone.

Yan Ruyu took the opportunity to check inside. Several large haystacks were filled with horse feed of this quality. Moreover, the room had been renovated and ventilated. If it was daytime, the sunlight would still shine through.

It can be seen that these feeds are not just piled up, but carefully kept.

Yan Ruyu was guessing when a soft whistle came from outside.

She didn't stop any longer, and turned over along the same path. As soon as her feet landed, she heard shouts from inside, and there were many people coming.

Huo Changhe hurriedly came up to him: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

"It's okay, it's all that kind of fodder inside," Yan Ruyu pointed inside and said softly, "Who is here? It sounds like there are quite a lot of people."

"I don't know yet, but not only people are coming, but there are also carriages, but this time it's empty."

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said in unison with Huo Changhe: "Follow me."

This time it was loading. There were nearly ten carriages in total, all fully loaded. The leading carriage did not go the same way, but turned around and went out from the side.

There were not many people on the west side of the city, and it was dark and late at night, so the carriage traveled unimpeded and arrived directly at the city gate.

Huo Changhe's eyes were dark and shining, and he whispered: "They showed something, the city gate was opened, and there was no obstruction to embarrass them. "

Yan Ruyu nodded, thought for a moment and said, "My lord, do you think they are like county government servants?"

They have all met the Yamen servants. Although they are also members of the public servants, they can only be regarded as small roles. Therefore, they have no deterrent effect. All they want is food and clothing.

Unlike these people, they are tall and strong, and wield the riding whip powerfully in their hands. They are not ordinary government officials.

Huo Changhe shook his head: "Don't worry, follow us and take a look."

Go out of the city gate and run along a small road. The road is narrow and can only accommodate a carriage. However, the road is smooth and neat. It can be seen that people have been walking this road for a long time.

It was hidden behind the woods and grass. If I hadn't followed him like this, I wouldn't have noticed it for a while.

The team didn't go too far. After about two-quarters of an hour, the carriage at the front stopped. The driver flicked his whip, and the clear sound was still loud in the night.

Some people were still whispering, but after hearing these sounds, they all became quiet.

"Listen, everyone, keep an eye on your carriages, unload one and drive another. Don't stay in a crowd and don't talk too much in private. Do you hear me clearly?"

"Yes!"

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other, their hearts beating slowly faster.
