Hearing footsteps outside the door, Bai Ling turned around and saw Li Jin coming with villagers from several villages and ordered:
"Tie up everyone first, and divide some people to guard the back door. Don't let anyone escape before the government officials come."
"Yes." Li Jin was with Bai Ling, and everyone regarded him as the backbone.
Bai Ling walked towards the backyard. If a small town mayor dared to be so lawless, there must be someone above him.
Although Lao Wu had already verified it, Bai Ling still felt that there was something cryptic. For example, the person who really gave the mayor the courage was by no means as simple as a junior official.
Bai Ling didn't plan to loot the mayor's warehouse this time. The money would be used for disaster relief. Quan regarded it as a favor to Magistrate Ouyang and went directly to the study.
As a mayor, he is definitely not a person who likes reading. However, the study room is locked several times inside and out, and there are even armed guards.
"This is not much different from a cottage. Could it be a bandit's den?" Looking at the ferocious guards, Bai Ling immediately dodged and hid in the space.
From this group of people, Bai Ling felt the evil spirit, which was not possessed by the servants who were brought down by the police before.
It's just that the guards were scattered around the yard, and they were very vigilant, so Bai Ling didn't dare to act rashly.
"We have to get at least two people alive. We can't let them go to the front yard, otherwise the villagers who are coming will only die. This will be very difficult." Bai Ling sat on the ground with his chin in his hands, paying attention to the activities of several people.
, she quickly found the loophole.
When these people cross patrol, there will be times when they are back to back, and only at that time is the safest time to administer the drug.
With a plan in mind, Bai Ling took out the enhanced gun and moved to the middle of the yard.
After another cup of tea, several people patrolled across each other again. Bai Ling saw the right opportunity to sprinkle the medicine, and quickly moved the space. Before everyone could react, he sprayed the medicine head-on to those in the upwind direction.
"Who? Get out of here!" A man with a scar running through his face shouted and raised his saber in defense. Others were immediately alert.
"Whoosh!"
Before several people could gather together, a sleeve arrow shot into the man's forehead, killing him immediately.
Although the others held their breath, they still could not avoid inhaling a little bit of poison, but there was no problem in holding on for a while.
When Bai Ling saw someone trying to retreat, he quickly threw out a handful of poisoned embroidery needles and attacked them indiscriminately.
Three more people were hit and fell to the ground, their throats sealed with blood.
The remaining few people had gathered together, looking around for the enemy's whereabouts, but could not find any clues, but their precautionary posture became more rigorous.
In the space, Bai Ling loaded another sleeve arrow into it.
Although there are many embroidery needles, it can be seen that the blood-sealing poison is rare, and Bai Ling will not waste the few remaining ones.
"Hold on, you've been hit by my a**, it's up to you to be able to hold on for another cup of tea." Bai Ling was not in a hurry to take action, leaving a few more alive to have a chance to pry open his mouth.
Those few people did not expect that the effect of the medicine would be so strong. They were all big-bodied and round-waisted men, so they fell to the ground one after another and fell unconscious.
To be on the safe side, Bai Ling sprinkled another bag of incense, waited for half a stick of incense, and then got all the people into the space, tied them up one by one, and threw them into the woods behind where the wild animals were.
"Yin Lang, keep an eye on them, don't kill them." Bai Ling told Yin Lang, who could understand human speech, and then entered the study room, and then came out of the room.
There are several rows of bookshelves in the study room, but there are not many good books. They are just for show.
However, there are several ancient paintings hanging on the walls, and you can tell by the color of the paper that they are old.
Bai Ling rummaged for a while and found a secret compartment under the desk. There were several letters inside, but the signatures were vague, so Bai Ling couldn't guess whose handwriting it was.
"The study is tightly guarded, so there shouldn't be only these letters." Bai Ling continued to search. When she was about to give up, her eyes fell on the mahogany chair behind the desk.
Coming to the chair again, Bai Ling tried to push it, but to no avail.
At this moment, Bai Ling heard footsteps outside the door and hurriedly stepped into the space.
Aunt Hua pushed open the study room and entered, locked the door, then carried her skirt to the desk, lifted the armrest of the chair, and heard the sound of the wall behind opening.
"This switch is interesting. It seems that this woman is not simple." Bai Ling activated the space and followed Aunt Hua.
Walking through the long secret passage, there are walls piled with gold and silver on both sides. Inside are boxes of jewelry and a lot of food.
It was Bai Ling's first time to see food, gold, silver and jewelry put together.
But Aunt Hua didn't care about any of this. She ran straight to the corner, opened an inconspicuous wooden box, opened the account book inside and glanced at it for a few times, then let out a long breath.
"A useless man can't even deal with a woman." Aunt Hua said, blowing the fire sticks and throwing them into the box.
Bai Ling didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly put the fire folder and the account book into the space.
"Ghost!" Aunt Hua yelled in horror and ran out like crazy.
Bai Ling quickly shot a sleeve arrow at Aunt Hua, stabbing her in the shoulder.
"Ah!" Aunt Hua covered her shoulders, her body was too limp to lift up her strength, and she fainted to the ground.
After imprisoning Aunt Hua, Bai Ling walked around the secret room and discovered that a lot of gold and silver had the mark of the government, and even some of the jewelry had traces of being made in the inner court.
"Is the royal family involved?"
Bai Ling had a headache. Once these things were exposed to the light, they would definitely end badly.
And Magistrate Ouyang has always been cautious, so he didn’t dare to go into details, right?
"Well, I'll keep these things for myself first, and let Shangguan make the decision later."
With a thought, Bai Ling took all the things in the secret room into the space, released some unmarked gold and silver in his own space, and then hid in the space and left.
When Bai Ling returned to the front yard, there were more tied people in the yard. In addition to the servants, there were also many women in gorgeous clothes, but there were not many children.
"Princess Princess, these people want to escape through the back door, and they have knives in their hands. Fortunately, we have the medicine the Princess gave us, otherwise we would have to be hacked to death by them." When Li Jin saw Bai Ling coming, he immediately reported it.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Bai Ling smiled lightly and said to everyone:
"Fellows, you have worked hard today. The mayor's evil deeds are outrageous, and the government will take action. We help the government catch these unjust people who oppress good people and make fortune, and we are doing justice for God.
But we are all law-abiding citizens, so don’t hurt these people at all, lest they bite back and say that we are here to rob, and then the good thing turns into a bad thing."
"The princess is right, let's keep an eye on them. We can't beat them, and don't take anything from here, not even needles, thread, or brains." A village chief understood what Bai Ling meant and immediately shouted to the villagers.
.
When several village chiefs speak, the villagers must obey.
"Li Jin, take a few of your brothers and go to the kitchen to get something hot to eat. There will be a banquet at the mayor's house, and there will be a lot of delicious food, so don't be polite."
Bai Ling glanced at the banquet and said with some embarrassment:
"All these good wines and good food are in vain. If we really eat them, we will be lying on the ground like them."
Afraid that something might change, Bai Ling couldn't leave, so he closed the door of the mayor's mansion with others and waited for the arrival of the officials.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of food and drink at the mayor's house. Even if the food is not enough and they only eat some white porridge, it is still good for these villagers.
After receiving Bai Ling's letter, Magistrate Ouyang immediately sent people to Quanshui Town, but they only arrived at dawn, so there was no need for Bai Ling to wait here all the time. (To be continued)
