After the system ran, I took off with my family

The dazzling light made Hou Huairen squint his eyes and block them with his hands.

"woke up?"

Hou Huairen put down his hand, and when his eyes adjusted, he looked up. An ordinary-looking young man was holding a sword and looking at him expressionlessly.

"Who are you? Where is this?" Hou Huairen got up and looked at the surrounding vegetables, fruits, and the bent rice and wheat in astonishment. Where on earth is this place?

Lin Shuyue took a step forward and pointed the sword at his neck: "Hou Huairen, why did you send someone to kill Lin An?"

Hou Huairen looked at the sword that was less than an inch away from his neck and explained hurriedly: "It's all a misunderstanding, my knight, let's talk it out."

It seems that Hou Wu and his companions have failed. Who exactly is this Lin An?

"I'll give you another chance. Why did you send people to kill Lin An?" Lin Shuyue pushed the sword away, unmoved.

The cold and sharp tip of the sword was pressed against Hou Huairen's neck, frightening him so much that his whole body tensed up and he dared not even breathe.

He explained with a trembling voice: "Because... because an old man in the group of refugees I captured said that Lin An's family killed my people, so..."

"So you sent someone to kill him! You are a dog official. So many innocent people died in your hands. You deserve to die!

What she hated most were the corrupt officials who used their power to oppress the people.

"Knight, please spare my life... please spare my life..." Hou Huairen banged his head loudly.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said hurriedly, "Knight, please let me go. I have a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in my house. I will give them all to you. I only ask you to spare my life!"

Lin Shuyue thought for a moment, put away the Liuguang Sword, and looked at him expressionlessly: "I'll give you a chance to live. You must answer me honestly whatever I ask you.

Otherwise... this is what will happen to you!"

With a "boom", a bolt of lightning fell at Hou Huairen's feet.

Hou Huairen's pupils shrank, and he stared at the charred ground, his lips trembling as he cried, "To be honest...To be honest..."

Oh my God, how could he have offended such a vicious god?

Seeing Hou Huairen being honest, Lin Shuyue stared into his eyes and asked, "Who told you that it was Lin An who killed your people? Did you let your people capture his daughter?"

Hou Huairen said tremblingly: "I caught those people who fled from Lin'an Village. An old man named Lin Dayong told me.

I arrested his daughter because I was too angry at the time, and there happened to be a girl in their village who said that Lin An’s daughter was pretty, so…”

Lin Shuyue guessed someone in her heart: "Isn't that girl a bit dark and strong?"

Hou Huairen thought about it and nodded: "Yes."

As expected, she continued to ask, "You robbed food to raise food for Zhou Qi, so why did you arrest people? Where were they imprisoned? And what happened to the people in the city?"

Hearing this question, Hou Huairen's eyes were a little evasive, "Huh?" The cold sword tip was close to his neck again, and he could even feel a slight pain.

He no longer dared to hide it: "It was the eldest prince who sent a message saying that we should capture more refugees and send them to Yuping Mansion. When the rebellion breaks out, we can place these adult men at the front line, and his men will suffer fewer losses.

The refugees captured a few days ago have been sent to Yuping Prefecture, and those captured in the past two days have been locked up in the dungeon on the west side of the prefectural government office..."

After saying this, Hou Huairen secretly glanced at Lin Shuyue's face, fearing that she would kill him in anger.

"Go on, where are the others? And the people in the city?" Lin Shuyue suppressed the anger in her heart, with a sharp gleam in her eyes.

"The eldest prince's men discovered an iron mine in Mangshan, Yuping Prefecture, and the others were sent to the mine...

The people in the city wanted to flee, so...except for some who escaped, the rest were killed...killed..."

Whether out of guilt or fear, he spoke in a lower voice.

Lin Shuyue clenched the hilt of the sword, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

She took a deep breath, put away the Flowing Sword, and put it back into the scabbard.

Hou Huairen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her put away her sword. Unexpectedly, the next moment, he widened his eyes and saw a thick lightning bolt coming towards him...

Lin Shuyue looked at the charred corpse on the ground, threw it out of the space roughly, and dodged out herself.

On the bed, Hou Huairen's wife had not woken up yet, and the body of Hou Huairen, who had just been thrown out by Lin Shuyue, was lying next to her.

Lin Shuyue stared at her pampered and beautiful face, took out the Liuguang Sword and slashed it across her neck. The vested interests were not innocent.

Afterwards, she searched the house carefully and took away all the valuable items except gold and silver jewelry, banknotes, etc., leaving only the bed, table and chairs in the house.

Lin Shuyue left the room and looked at the exquisite and magnificent backyard. Her eyes darkened and she decided that she would avenge the innocent people who had died.

Then she took out a fire starter from the space and lit the curtains in the room. The flames quickly jumped up and thick smoke billowed out of the room.

Lin Shuyue hid in the dark, watching the two maids wake up and anxiously shouting "The fire is coming!"

When the people in the government office heard the news, both the servants in the backyard and the soldiers patrolling the front yard, rushed to put out the fire.

At this time, three men dressed very similar to Hou Wu came hurriedly, directing everyone to put out the fire and shouting Hou Huairen towards the burning room.

Seeing that the time had come, Lin Shuyue held the Liuguang Sword and, taking advantage of the night, moved among the crowd like a ghost. By the time Hou Da and the other two reacted, a large number of soldiers had already fallen to the ground.

Seeing this, Hou Da shouted angrily: "Who are you? How dare you act wildly in the government office!"

"I'm going to take your lives!" Lin Shuyue flew towards them with the Liuguang Sword in hand.

Hou Da and the other two were struggling to dodge Lin Shuyue's sword and were extremely surprised. When did such a master come from the city and beat them so badly that they had no chance to fight back.

The silver-white sword danced quickly, and the sword energy cut several deep wounds on the three people.

A few breaths later, the three men fell to the ground covered in blood, their eyes wide open, and blood gushing out of their necks.

Lin Shuyue let out a sigh of relief. Fighting is really a relief.

Suddenly, she pointed her sword at the figure behind the flowerpot and shouted, "Come out."

A boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old walked out tremblingly from behind the flowerpot. As soon as he came out, he knelt down and begged for mercy.

Lin Shuyue looked at him and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know where the houses of other officials are? Lead me to the way, and I can let you go!"

The servant raised his head cautiously, "Sir, are you looking for other officials?"

"Um,"

"But all the other officials were killed or sent to the mines to mine, leaving only Du Tongzhi." The servant looked at her face carefully.

So that's how it is. Lin Shuyue continued to ask, "Where does this Du Tongzhi live?"

The servant pointed to a corpse on the ground and said, "That...that's Du Tongzhi. Du Tongzhi has been resting in the front yard of the government office these days."
