"hiss..."

Lianzhi bit her lip and gently applied the medicine on the wound. A burning pain came as soon as it touched the wound.

For a long while, she looked at the new wound on her arm with a pale face.

He looked at the young lady who was already sleeping on the bed behind the screen, and felt a sense of despair in his heart.

Today, the food sent by the kitchen was not to her liking, so the lady locked her in the room.

She stabbed her arm hard with a hairpin and blocked her mouth with a handkerchief to prevent her from making any sound.

When Taozhi thought of the young lady's vicious look, she couldn't help but shiver.

Suddenly, her eyes went dark and she fell on the table...

Lin Shuyue gently opened the door and glanced at the maid lying on the table.

His eyes lingered on the bloody holes on the maid's arms for a moment, and then he walked straight to the bed behind the screen.

On the bed, Li Yuan's face without makeup looked even more childish.

But this seemingly harmless little girl actually tortured her maid in private.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Shuyue finally took out a pill of Qi Jue Powder and stuffed it into Li Yuan's mouth.

Then, she followed the same method, using Zui Qing Feng to knock out the guards in front of Zhang Wan's door and the old woman in the house, and fed Zhang Wan a pill of Qi Jue Powder without hesitation.

Afterwards, Lin Shuyue searched the house carefully and found five boxes in the corner.

When they opened it, they found that most of the items inside were clothes and jewelry. There was a small box containing a stack of silver bills, which was estimated to be around 30,000 taels.

In another box, she also found an exquisite long box.

When I opened it, I found it was a ginseng that was nearly five hundred years old.

However, as a county magistrate's wife, her family background is so strong, and the money must have come from unclean sources.

Lin Shuyue looked at Zhang Wan lying on the bed.

A woman brought her daughter and so much money and traveled thousands of miles to Yu Ping's mansion. She must have been aiming for something big.

She collected her thoughts, waved her hand and put the box into the space, checked it once, and after making sure nothing was missing, she left quietly.

The next day, the group left the inn in high spirits and headed straight for the East City Gate.

"It's better to sleep comfortably in bed!"

Lin Shuyan was holding a piece of grass in his mouth, riding a horse, and walking leisurely beside Lin Shuyue.

Lin Shuyue smiled. From now on, they wouldn't have to rush on their journey, but they wouldn't have to sleep outdoors every night.

At noon, the group stopped at a roadside tea stall to rest. There were several passers-by sitting in the stall.

The owner of the teahouse was an old man, who enthusiastically served them two pots of hot tea.

The weather in early February was still gloomy and chilly, but after drinking a bowl of hot tea, one could feel so comfortable that one could let out a sigh.

"Da da da..."

A burst of rapid horse hoof sounds came from the official road ahead, getting closer and closer...

The people in the tea stall looked sideways and saw a group of soldiers riding tall horses appearing on the official road ahead.

The soldiers were wearing armor and looked ferocious.

The leading soldier saw the crowd in the tea stall and waved to signal the troops to stop.

A soldier behind the generals dismounted, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and walked towards the tea stall.

"Have you seen this man?"

The soldier held up the portrait in his hand so that the people in the teahouse could see it clearly.

The people in the tea stall leaned over to take a closer look and saw a painting of an ordinary-looking young man in black shorts. They all shook their heads, indicating that they had never seen him before.

Only Lin Shuyue's heart skipped a beat, because the portrait showed exactly how she looked when she last went to Anqing City.

The soldier saw this and put away the portrait, shouting, "This man is a vicious criminal.

He once single-handedly massacred the prefect of Anqing Prefecture and all the officers and soldiers in the city.

If you see this person in the future, you must report it to the authorities immediately, do you understand?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and said that if they saw it, they would report it to the authorities.

Lin An and his companions were shocked, but they remained calm and responded.

Seeing the soldiers turn around and mount their horses, everyone in the tea stall breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when everyone thought the soldiers were about to leave, the leading soldier looked towards the tea shed again.

His cold eyes swept across the crowd and stopped on Lin An and his group.

Lin An and others noticed his gaze, clenched their hands, and remained calm.

"You...come here!"

The soldiers on horseback pointed at Lin An and others.

Lin An and the others felt nervous, and seeing that the soldier seemed impatient, they could only pace forward.

"Take out your household registration and travel permits."

Lin An hesitated for a moment, then took out the household registration and travel passes of twelve people wrapped in oilcloth from his arms and handed them to the soldier.

The soldier glanced at him, took each one and examined it carefully.

"You guys are from Anqing Prefecture? Are you all going to Wuzhou to visit relatives?"

Lin An bowed and clasped his hands respectfully and replied, "Yes, sir, I and others are going to Wuzhou to visit my seriously ill aunt."

The soldier looked at the group of people who were obediently lowering their heads.

"Then why did you set out two months ago and only arrive in Fengyuan County now?"

"Sir, it's because my daughter-in-law suddenly gave birth prematurely that we were delayed for so long." Zhao Xiuyin replied behind Lin An.

The soldier looked at Lianhua, who had her forehead bandaged and was holding a thin baby. Without saying a word, he returned the household registration and pass to Lin An.

"keep going!"

With a wave of the hand, the group walked away.

Lin An and his group stood on the side of the road, looking at each other.

"Let's go. It's not convenient to talk here." They didn't plan to rest and left here first.

The group packed up their things and set off again.

After walking hurriedly for an hour, the team stopped at an open space beside the official road to eat a late lunch.

"Don't worry. Apart from us, no one knows that I killed Hou Huairen and his men. They will only look for the person in the portrait."

Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Lin Shuyue comforted them.

Zhao Xiuyin's tears fell, and she held Lin Shuyue's hand: "Good child, you have worked hard."

Lin Gang and others also had red eyes, feeling sorry for this wanted girl.

He was clearly trying to rescue those poor refugees, but now he is wanted by the government.

“All the officers and soldiers in Anqing Prefecture were killed. Only the refugees who were rescued saw what you looked like at that time, so those refugees must have betrayed you.

These people are such ungrateful people! We shouldn't have saved them in the first place!"

Lin Shuyuan clenched his fists in anger.

"Brother, don't be angry. There are ungrateful people everywhere. I will be more careful next time."

"Okay, as long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know it was me. Let's eat well. It's better to be full so we can continue on our journey!"

Lin Shuyue was not affected by this incident. After all, the portrait was not her real face.

Moreover, she believed that this matter would soon come to nothing. Before long, when several princes began to fight for the throne, who would care about a small local prefect?
