Jiang Muxia was startled, and her whole body went cold. "What do you mean?"

"Think about it. If he wanted to destroy you and revealed your true identity on the spot, could you escape?"

Jiang Muxia's eyes lit up, "So..."

"So, please trust him. Not only will he not expose you, he will also help you get out of this situation." Jiang Hongxin poured another cup of tea and pushed it in front of her. "Drink a cup of tea to calm your nerves. The time is almost up."

She was confused for the past half day. She only had a vague understanding of everything and knew nothing. She felt as if someone was pushing her from behind.

She could only conserve her energy and wait for what would happen in the future. She would respond to each move as it came and act accordingly.

An hour later, someone knocked on the door of the room where they were resting, "The goddess wants to see you."

This time Jiang Muxia has calmed down and adjusted her mentality. Even if Wei Dong exposes her identity, she will not panic and will be able to escape immediately.

"Come on, you don't have to go in, just stay outside."

"it is good."

They came to the door of the house, she went in, and Jiang Muxia stood quietly at the door.

She listened attentively to the noise in the house. There was the voice of a man reporting to the goddess and General Wu. He said that he had brought the believers here and they were just waiting for the order to take action.

Afterwards, no one knew what the discussion inside had turned out to be, but three people came out, and except for Jiang Hongxin, the other two were men.

One was dressed as a commoner, and the other was dressed in armor with a proud look on his face.

"Wait for a moment in front of the military camp. I will lead a thousand soldiers. They are just a bunch of rabble, and I really think too highly of them."

The three of them hurried toward the door, and when they arrived at the door, Jiang Muxia realized that the man next to her had brought a crowd of at least two hundred people gathered on the grassy ground in front of the door.

When the leader saw the man coming out, he quickly surrounded him and said, "Brother Zhang, how is it? Did the goddess speak?"

"Of course, General Cao agreed to lend us a thousand men and horses. After working hard tonight, everyone can get enough food to last until next year. We should thank the goddess for her kindness. She helped us come up with such a good idea and helped us find helpers. These people in Suanzao County are useless. We can only live a good life if we trust the goddess."

The leader waved his hand behind him, signaling everyone to kneel down and kowtow towards the military camp, "Thank you, Goddess."

Jiang Muxia watched all this coldly. It turned out that she was able to trick these people here under the pretext of being able to feed them. But she didn't know how they would feel if they knew that what they were going to rob was the disaster-stricken grain and silver.

As soon as the hour of Chou arrived, Lieutenant General Wu Mian led the way with soldiers dressed in black night clothes, and the group marched in a mighty procession towards the west.

Jiang Muxia finally figured out the whole story. They were heading west to the Anmin Post Station, and their target was the convoy that was carrying disaster relief grain and silver from the capital.

Anmin Post Station was only fifteen miles away from the military camp, and they arrived there in half an hour.

From a distance, the post station looked pitch black. Wu Mian raised his hand and his soldiers dispersed and surrounded the post station.

Wu Mian raised his whip, pointed at Jiang Hongxin and ordered: "You, take your people to rush into the post station and transport the boxes of grain and money out, and send them to the abandoned yard at the entrance of Majia Village behind the post station. There are people there to meet them. Anyone who dares to stop them will be killed without mercy."

"it is good."

As soon as she waved her hand, someone rushed forward and broke the door open. Two hundred people swarmed in and headed straight for the backyard.

Sure enough, I saw a carriage full of money and grain parked outside the backyard.

The people suddenly became excited. Some were leading and catching horses, while others were counting the stolen goods. The scene became chaotic for a while.

The yard was in chaos, and of course the people resting in the house heard the noise.

In the wing room in the front yard, a man in ordinary clothes ran out with a sword in his hand. When he saw someone robbing the grain cart, he hurried forward to stop them.

How could the common people let go of the food when they saw it coming in? They gritted their teeth and started fighting with them. These people were obviously martial artists, so how could the common people be their opponents?

In a short while, they were knocked down and lay on the ground wailing.

A fair-skinned man in a gray-white robe shouted at the people, "Stop, stop! This is grain being transported to Suanzao County, which was severely affected by the disaster. I am Tang Bo'an, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was ordered to escort the grain. Where are you from? Who has bewitched you? Don't do anything that violates the law, or your entire family will be in trouble."

"That's right. You ignorant and unruly people cannot distinguish right from wrong. You actually believe in rumors and become accomplices of the evildoer. You really don't know what you are doing." A burly man with a slightly yellow skin beside Tang Boan shouted angrily.

Jiang Muxia was startled and walked from the door to the backyard. The person who escorted the disaster relief food turned out to be Tang Zhongbai's brother.

But where is Tang Zhongbai now? Why is there no trace of him anymore?

She looked everywhere in the crowd but didn't see a familiar figure.

The people obviously didn't believe Tang Boan's words, and pointed at him and cursed, "You are talking nonsense, you are obviously profiteers, we robbed your food, but we didn't eat it ourselves, we want to share it with all the people affected by the disaster. You pretended to be an official in the court, which is the great crime of deceiving the emperor."

The leader named Zhang encouraged the people, "Brothers, don't believe them. Magistrate Feng said that he sent countless memorials to the capital, but received no response. How could a convoy carrying disaster relief grain suddenly appear? He is a liar. Brothers, don't be fooled by him."

"Yes, we believe Magistrate Feng. He is in the military camp. We will catch them later and bring them to Magistrate Feng to expose his true identity."

Jiang Muxia's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect Feng Nian to be in the military camp as well.

I wonder how Feng Nian would feel if he knew that these people sold him out so easily.

Jiang Hongxin walked up to her and whispered, "Feng Nian came here with Zhang. Let's not move and see what this minister does."

It is not convenient for Jiang Muxia to reveal her identity to Tang Boan at the moment. She has to wait for the right opportunity.

Sure enough, after hearing what Zhang said, the people’s anger was rekindled.

He shouted that the merchants were unscrupulous and did not treat the people as human beings, and they wanted to rob them of their food. He picked up the stick he had with him and started fighting with the people on the opposite side again.

After Tang Boan exchanged glances with his companions, he pretended that he could not defeat them and they were defeated one after another. The people did not think of anything else, but just thought that they had more people and they could not defeat them, so they surrendered.

The people found ropes to tie up all the escorts and handed them over to the soldiers outside the door, while the others pushed and pulled the cart towards Majia Village.

Jiang Hongxin took her and followed Wu Mian back to the military camp.

Jiang Muxia knew that as long as they entered the military camp, Wu Li would not let them out alive.

She had to find a way to rescue the person, and now her only helper was Jiang Hongxin.

She was about to say hello to Jiang Hongxin, when the soldiers escorting those people passed by her. A tall man with a dark face bumped into her hard, causing her to stagger.

Because of Tang Boan, she was not angry. She stood firm and looked at the person who bumped into her.

The man winked at her, and her eyes lit up. Isn't this the person she was looking for?

It turned out that he had arranged everything long ago. When Jiang Muxia saw him, things that she had been confused about before suddenly became clear to her.
