"My father has not yet arrived, but I have already arrived in advance. I have inquired about the eldest son of the county magistrate's family who is repairing the garden. I have been investigating all the way to this point, and I just happened to catch up with you and that man to fight."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Thanks to Miss Wen's rescue, I almost died in his hands last time. If Miss Wen hadn't taken action today, I would have died again."
Jiang Yongning cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Miss Wen, for saving us."
Lin Xiaodong turned to ask: "What did Lu Hongda do when he arrested you?"
Jiang Yongning gritted his teeth with resentment: "Every day we move stones to build the wall, we work from morning till dusk, and sometimes we don't even rest at night."
Yu Huiying said: "It's not bad for me. All the women in the village are kept together and cook and wash clothes for the gardeners."
Lin Xiaodong smiled fiercely: "Just wait, Lu Hongda won't be able to jump around for a few days."
Several people arrived at the prison. At this time, the villagers were already safe. Naturally, they were not afraid of abusing the enemy or robbing the prison. Lin Xiaodong stretched out his hand, and the Frost Pond Sword flew directly in from the main entrance.
The people guarding the prison were all jailers. Lin Xiaodong was merciful and sent them away. Several people came to Dai Jishi's cell.
Dai Jishi had long heard the howling of ghosts and wolves outside, and looked at Lin Xiaodong with a bit of fear in his eyes.
Lin Xiaodong turned to Wen Yun and said, "This is Miss Wen, the daughter of the Royal Censor. You can be saved."
After hearing this, Dai Jishi hurriedly bowed his hands and said anxiously: "Miss Wen, the county magistrate Lu Deshou condones his son and bullies the villagers to waste their money and work hard. Please investigate!"
Wen Yun nodded with an eyebrow: "I already know about this, let's escape first."
When a few people went out, they saw people standing on the wall in the yard, shouting at them: "Put down your weapons! Otherwise, we will kill you without mercy!"
Wen Yun smiled, stretched out her hand, and Ruyi let out a green light rising into the sky. The jailers unconsciously looked up to the sky, and when they looked down again, they saw that the person was gone.
The jailer panicked and shouted: "Go and inform the county magistrate!"
Lu Deshou was sleeping soundly in his mansion when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. A servant came to open the door. The jailer ran out of breath and said, "Inform the Lord quickly. It's not good. Dai Jishi has been rescued!"
The servants led the jailer to Lu Deshou's room. The jailer was out of breath: "Sir, several people came, including two Taoist priests, who rescued Dai Jishi!"
"What?"
Lu Deshou almost fell off the bed, his tone changed, he stood up and stared with confusion on his face, "Taoist?"
The jailer nodded: "Yes, a man and a woman, and three others. They look like the villagers that the young master captured from the village when he was repairing the garden!"
Lu Deshou breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again, looked frightened, and said in a panic: "It's broken! Dai Jishi wants to take the villagers to see Mr. Wen!"
"Hurry up and call the county magistrate!"
The servants went to Wu Yangyun's residence. After Dai Jishi was imprisoned, Wu Yangyun became the county magistrate.
When Wu Yangyun heard that Dai Jishi had been rescued, he was so frightened that he hurried to Lu Deshou's house.
The two were discussing in the hall, and Lu Deshou said: "Two Taoist priests rescued Dai Jishi, a man and a woman, and took three villagers with them. They obviously wanted to find Mr. Wen."
Wu Yangyun lowered his head and thought, suddenly shuddered, and patted his thigh: "It's broken! Have the villagers been released by them?"
Lu Deshou panicked and spoke with a vibrato: "Is it possible?"
"If we don't rescue them, where did these three villagers come from?"
"Damn it! Why didn't I kill him with one knife?"
Lu Deshou cursed and dropped the teacup on the ground.
Wu Yangyun analyzed: "They will definitely go to Mr. Censor. As long as we stabilize Mr. Wen, set up an ambush around him, and wait for them to fall into the trap, we will be able to catch them quietly."
"But they have two Taoist priests."
Lu Deshou said worriedly.
Wu Yangyun nodded: "These two Taoist priests can only be left to Mr. Shi to deal with."
Lu Deshou nodded: "Go to the old prison site for yourself and ask Mr. Shi to solve these two scourges."
Wu Yangyun took the order and took a carriage to the former site of the North Prison.
When we walked to the door of the prison compound, the horse began to become restless, and the groom scolded: "What are you doing?
I’ll whip you with a whip!”
After walking two steps further, the groom suddenly screamed in fear, threw away the lantern in his hand, and ran while shouting: "It's dead, it's dead!"
Wu Yangyun was startled. He opened the curtain and looked down. The dead bodies on the ground were all Lu Deshou's thugs. Shi Hongliang was among them, and his head had long been missing.
"Ugh..." Wu Yangyun stuck out his tongue and vomited it out, calling to the groom, "Go back, go back!"
The groom had already disappeared, and Wu Yangyun also got off the car and ran back, shouting as he ran: "Who did this! Who did this!"
Wu Yangyun didn't stop until he ran to the city gate. He was panting so hard that his lungs hurt. He held his hand on the city wall and said to the guard: "Quick, quick, arrange the carriages and horses to take me to the Lord's house!"
When Wu Yangyun returned to Lu Deshou's house, his mood had not calmed down and he could not stop shaking. When Lu Deshou saw this, he asked in confusion: "What's wrong?
Where are the villagers?"
Wu Yangyun said blankly: "Dead, all dead!"
"ah?"
Lu Deshou opened his mouth in confusion.
"Shi Hongliang, Shi Hongliang is dead!"
"died?"
Lu Deshou almost jumped up.
Wu Yangyun swallowed nervously: "They must have been killed by those two Taoist priests! All the people guarding there are also dead!"
"Then all the villagers also let go?"
Lu Deshou sat down holding his chest.
Wu Yangyun was breathing heavily: "Without Shi Hongliang, no one can stop these two Taoist priests! If they see the Censor, they will all be doomed!"
Lu Deshou lowered his head, his eyes quickly turned around, and said: "You immediately arrange for someone to collect the body. Don't be discovered. I arranged for someone to ambush outside Mr. Wen's residence and the county government office. They are just two Taoist priests in numbers.
,What are you afraid of!”
Wu Yangyun nodded, arranged for people to collect the body, and then personally led the team, setting up secret sentries at Mr. Wen's residence and the county government office. Lu Deshou went to see Mr. Wen early in the morning.
Wen Songcheng lived in a government-run inn, and Lu Deshou arranged for many people to serve him in name, but actually to monitor him. With his daughter secretly investigating, Wen Songcheng lived in peace of mind and did not go anywhere.
In the morning, just after dinner, Lu Deshou came to pay his respects and said, "Sir, please come with me to the county government office to check the files."
Wen Songcheng followed Lu Deshou to the county government office. Wu Yangyun was guarding the gate. Lu Deshou glanced at Wu Yangyun, and Wu Yangyun nodded.
The street where the county government office is located was eerily quiet early in the morning. There was not a soul on the street. Wen Songcheng knew it well and said nothing.
The two adults entered the lobby. Wu Yangyun hid in the yard opposite the county government office, watching on the wall, and said to his subordinates: "Watch it, no matter who dares to break in, just go up and hold him down."
Behind the wall were two rows of more than twenty officers and soldiers, all nodding.
