When she saw the fire breaking out in the Wujiazhuang, Ling Yu took a horse and left through the back door.

Ling Yu rode on horseback and rushed to the back mountain Abao Niang was talking about.

When she arrived, she saw Zhang Mei waiting for her.

"Ms. Yu, you are finally here. We were still worried that you were trapped inside!"

Zhang Mei said anxiously: "A Bao Niang and Aunt Zhang have already left with A Bao!"

"She originally wanted to wait for you, but I thought it would be difficult for her to run with the child, so I let her go first!"

Ling Yu was very touched that neither Zhang Mei nor Abao Niang abandoned her because they were in a hurry to escape.

"Where are the others?" Ling Yu asked.

"Xiao Tao and her sister are leaving first! There are two families that haven't come yet! We can't take care of them anymore! Let's go first!" Zhang Mei urged.

Ling Yu looked into the distance. In the direction of Wujiazhuangzi, thick smoke was already billowing and fire was soaring into the sky.

So much firewood must have been burned!

Such a fire cannot be extinguished by just a few people.

Ling Yu didn't feel any guilt in her heart. The Wu family had done many evil things, so being burned could be regarded as doing harm to the people!

"Let's go!" Ling Yu was not familiar with the two families and didn't know if they were willing to leave. She couldn't harm Zhang Mei.

"Is there no one at home?"

Ling Yu and Zhang Mei were walking and chatting.

"Yes, my mother-in-law and my son, I have asked them to follow Abao Niang and leave first!"

Zhang Mei said fiercely: "When I escape, I must ask Prince Yi to make the decision for me. My husband-in-law cannot die in such an unexplained death!"

"How did your husband-in-law die?" Ling Yu asked with concern.

"It's not that wolf's den that deceives people! All the men in our area are skilled in blacksmithing!"

"A year ago, my husband-in-law was taken to the wolf den by Wu Ergou to work, but he only went there for half a year and he brought back a corpse for me!"

Zhang Mei burst into tears when she talked about her sadness.

"They said he slipped and fell down the mountain and died! But that's not the case at all!"

"When I put the shroud on him, I found that his body was covered with whip wounds and burns! Those burns were all ulcerated..."

"There is not a single intact part of his body! Either he was beaten to death, or he died of those injuries!"

Zhang Mei wiped away tears: "I went to Wu Ergou to ask for an explanation, and Wu Ergou insisted that he was killed by a fall!"

"Wu Ergou threw me two taels of silver and said it was the Wu family's money to buy the coffin!"

"I refused to give up, so Wu Ergou took my brother-in-law away and said that if I made trouble again, I would not expect my brother-in-law to come back!"

Ling Yu felt sorry for Zhang Mei when she heard this. The Wu family is really too domineering!

She had some doubts in her heart, so she asked: "Isn't this mine long gone? They arrested so many blacksmiths, where did they get the iron?"

Zhang Mei let out a sigh and said: "There are no mines. That's what we say to the outside world! There are still mines in this mountain!"

"They brought in a lot of laborers from outside, and the prisoners on death row came and were digging day and night!"

"Otherwise, why would there be officers and soldiers stationed here! How could the Wu family get the money to send such large sums of money to the higher authorities!"

Ling Yu was horrified when he heard this, and felt that this was not something that a cavalry general could handle!

Minerals in ancient times belonged to the royal family. How could a hussar general be so bold when he was trying to deceive his subordinates like this?

Under the huge interests, there is a huge interest group!

This network is so big that Ling Yu doesn’t even know whose good deeds she has inadvertently broken!

She only knew that if she couldn't escape, this would be her burial place.

These people will never allow themselves to spoil their good deeds!

While Ling Yu was thinking, she vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves.

She stopped, looked back, and saw a group of torchlights rushing towards her quickly.

"It's over...they're catching up!"

Zhang Mei also saw it and was so frightened that she grabbed Ling Yu and ran away...
