In the early morning, a ray of sunshine accompanied by the sound of roosters crowing illuminated the entire Hegou Village.

Smoke rises from the village, and bursts of fragrance waft out from thousands of households.

The early-rising villagers are already busy in the green wheat fields.

However, this picturesque scenery was completely destroyed by a group of soldiers who suddenly broke in.

The first people to see them were the villagers busy in the wheat fields. At this time, there were still many people in the fields, so several people gathered together in panic.

"Why are there soldiers in the village?"

"It doesn't look like a good thing. Those officers have knives in their hands."

"Da Zhuang, go and inform the village chief and Madam Lin."

"Ah."

After listening to his father's words, Da Zhuang ran towards the Lin family.

There was no way. Everyone in Hegou Village knew that if they encountered danger, it would be much more useful to find Lin Shuangshuang than the village chief.

"Mrs. Lin, soldiers have come to the village, holding swords and shackles, and they seem to be here to arrest someone."

"Oh, by the way, the leader is dressed like a eunuch. I wonder if he is from the palace."

"Please go to the village entrance and I will go inform the village chief first."

"Ah."

Lin Shuangshuang hurriedly changed her clothes and went out. Before leaving, she said to Dong'er, "Take the two children and hide."

"Xiaochen, lead the way for Dong'er."

"I don't know who the other person is, so you should hide with him."

"Li Da, Wang Kang and a few of you, protect them in secret, and leave four people to follow me."

"Yes."

Xiao Chen looked at Lin Shuangshuang with a worried look on his face: "Elder sister, be careful."

"If they are coming for me, don't fight them. Just hand me over to them."

"What nonsense! Go hide now."

Xiaochen looked at Lin Shuangshuang's serious expression, his eyes slightly reddened. He had brought too much trouble to this family.

Every time someone from the capital came, the whole family was like a frightened bird, hiding here and there.

Moreover, even if his identity is exposed in the future, the eldest sister may not be rewarded, and may even be sentenced to death.

After all, hiding the prince secretly is a serious crime!

Therefore, he must grow up as quickly as possible and be strong enough to protect his eldest sister and her family.

"Little sister, you stay at home and look after the little ones."

Lin Shuangshuang pointed at Lin Rouer and the two little fools.

Of the remaining four guards, Lin Shuangshuang left two to protect her youngest sister and the children.

She only took two with her to the village entrance. In fact, she knew in her heart who these people were coming for.

It has been nearly a year since Gu Hanzhou disappeared, and the news that he became the imperial master of the Jin Kingdom should have spread to the Dayu Dynasty.

Treason is a serious crime and the entire nine generations of the clan will be punished!

That's why she asked Xiaochen and Dong'er to hide with the two children to avoid being implicated.

As for whether the Gu family can survive this disaster, it depends on whether Gu Hanzhou’s arrangements are in place.

Hopefully, his previous severance of ties and expulsion from the family tree was useful!

As for herself, she wasn't worried.

First of all, she and Gu Hanzhou have already divorced.

Secondly, based on her ability to prevent plague and her "experience" at sea, which could bring high-yield crop seeds to the Dayu Dynasty, the emperor would not touch her.

Before Lin Shuangshuang had taken a few steps, a villager came to stop her: "Madam Lin, the Gu family is surrounded. I heard that Gu Lao Si has committed a crime."

"Collaborating with the enemy and committing treason is a serious crime punishable by the execution of all nine generations of your clan."

"You'd better not go over there, so as not to get implicated by him."

"This Gu Laosi is really a piece of shit. He broke off relations with his parents for a woman before, and now he's doing something evil like collaborating with the enemy and treason."

"Now the whole family is implicated."

"I thought he was a capable man who could bring honor to the family, but I didn't expect him to be a debt collector..."

"Hide quickly. Now everyone in the village who is related to his family is hiding, for fear of being implicated."

"After all, if we really count the nine clans, there will be a lot of people involved."

Lin Shuangshuang was deeply moved when she saw that the concerned expressions on the villagers' faces did not seem fake.

"Don't worry, aunties. I'll go over and take a look. Everything will be fine."

"Gu Hanzhou and I have divorced. I am no longer a member of the Gu family. They can't find me."

Several aunts still stood in front of Lin Shuangshuang: "You don't understand, if the officials really want to arrest someone, they won't tell whether they have divorced or not."

"Logically, Gu Laosi has severed ties with his parents and has been removed from the Gu family tree. His crimes shouldn't have implicated his family, but the Gu family was arrested anyway."

"Aunts, I appreciate your kindness, but I really need to go over and take a look at the situation."

"I am different from the Gu family. I can prevent the plague. The emperor still has use for me. I will be fine."

When everyone heard this, they realized that this was indeed the truth. Lin Shuangshuang was the only one in the world who could prevent the plague.

If she died, and a plague broke out again in the future, no one would be able to make medicine to prevent it.

Plague is a natural disaster. Even the emperor cannot control it and it can happen at any time.

Therefore, unless the emperor is a fool, he will not kill Lin Shuangshuang.

"Okay, the aunts will go with you and support you."

"I don't believe they dare to arrest you."

Lin Shuangshuang was deeply touched when she heard what the villagers said. This era was different from the era she had lived in before. In this era, officials were the gods, and the people had to kneel down when they saw officials.

Since ancient times, the people have never fought against officials. When the people see an official, they are like mice seeing a cat. They hide as far away from the officials as possible and no one dares to get close to them.

Therefore, it took a lot of courage for the aunts in the village to take the initiative to go over and support her in order to protect her.

Maybe they can't help much, but their heart and actions are enough to move people.

So, at this moment, her heart was satisfied. It was worth it to help such a group of lovely people.

Lin Shuangshuang followed the villagers to the door of Gu's house.

At this time, the entrance to the Gu family was in chaos, with screams and cries everywhere, which made people feel inexplicably uneasy.

All the men in the Gu family were wearing shackles, and the women and children were chained together in a row.

Even Gu Xinghua's family was not spared. The three little ones cried and huddled in the adults' arms.

"Sir, there is a disabled person here."

Eunuch Li said in a sharp voice: "Have someone carry them on their backs and take them away together."

So, one of the officers removed Gu Jinguo's shackles, replaced them with shackles, and asked him to carry Gu Jinzhong on his back.

Lin Shuangshuang walked over and greeted him: "Eunuch Li, long time no see."

"Oh, it's Master Lin. I'm honored to meet you, Master Lin."

Lin Shuangshuang is a favorite of the emperor. Especially this time when she went to sea, she brought back many high-yield crops. The emperor was very pleased and threatened to promote Lin Shuangshuang.

However, most of the ministers in the court were opposed to it, probably because they were afraid of being suppressed by women.

Anyway, there have been several arguments in the court because of this matter.

Lin Shuangshuang was far away and didn't know what was happening in the court, but Eunuch Li knew everything.

Therefore, he could only nod and bow in front of Lin Shuangshuang.
