"No one? How so?"

Lin Meiyi jumped out of the car and went straight to the gate of the county government, but unfortunately before she could enter, she was stopped by two gatekeepers.

"Who?" The two officials shouted.

If it weren't for Lin Meiyi's appearance as a human being, she would have been treated as a disaster victim who made a big fuss.

Ah Da followed, and seeing this situation, he hurriedly explained that his master was a friend of the county commander's daughter, and there was no malicious intent, so the two officials took back the knife they pulled out.

"Two big brothers, may I ask if Miss Yang is in the mansion? I'm looking for her urgently. Lin Meiyi asked urgently, and at the same time took out two taels of silver from her sleeve and stuffed one of them.

Unexpectedly, the two of them slapped her hand away, "I'm waiting to only be responsible for guarding the county office, and I don't know anything else!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Meiyi's eyes narrowed, it seemed that something must have happened that she didn't know.

Taking a deep look at the two expressionless officials, Lin Meiyi picked up the silver that fell on the ground and turned to get into the car, "Let's go, go to the back alley in the south of the city." ”

Ah Da didn't dare to hesitate, although he didn't know what she was going to do there, he still parked the car at the entrance of the back alley as he said.

The alley here is too narrow for cars and horses to enter.

Lin Meiyi asked him to wait at the entrance and entered the alley alone.

There was such a big thing in the city, as long as it wasn't for the people whose hearts were so wide that the thunder struck and didn't move, they all got up.

The open space was overcrowded, and many people walked back and forth in the narrow alleys, and when they saw Lin Meiyi's arrival, they didn't have time to take care of her, an outsider.

Once born and twice matured, this time when she saw Shi Lei's men, Lin Meiyi directly stepped forward to arrest the person and asked him to take him to see Shi Lei.

"Girl, our brother Lei is not here!" The man who was caught hurriedly explained.

"And where is he? Take me there! Lin Meiyi ordered.

The man waved his hand again and again, and was about to say that he didn't know, when he saw Lin Meiyi raise his fist, and when he reached his mouth, he instantly changed his words, "Don't don't, I know I know, I'll take you there!" ”

Lin Meiyi pushed him, let go of her hand, and her eyes signaled him to hurry up.

The man didn't dare to hesitate, knowing that Lin Meiyi, a strange woman, was ruthless, and hurriedly trotted to lead her to an early shop.

Shi Lei and his group were eating the overlord meal here, and the boss was politely serving, so unhappy.

"Huh? Miss Lin? Qiu Laosi was the first to notice Lin Meiyi's arrival, and hurriedly stuffed the half of the bun in his hand into his mouth, and reached out to pat Shi Lei beside him, "Big brother, Miss Lin!" ”

Shi Lei raised his head, saw Lin Meiyi and the little brother who was cowering and leading the way, raised his eyebrows, and asked in surprise: "The girl is in a hurry?" ”

"Tell me Yang Qingqing's whereabouts!"

Shi Lei subconsciously wanted to say that this was not within the scope of our cooperative business, but when he saw Lin Meiyi throw a silver ingot, he immediately changed his mind.

"Wait a moment, girl, and let me call someone to investigate." Shi Lei waved to a lean boy behind him, whispered a few words, and the man immediately ran out.

"Did Miss Lin eat it? Sit down for a bite to eat? Shi Lei greeted politely.

Lin Meiyi ignored him, walked up to the boss, and asked the boss to help her make a few buns.

When Shi Lei saw it, he didn't bother to say hello again, and continued to eat his meat buns with soju.

After a while, the skinny boy came back and said something in Shi Lei's ear, Shi Lei looked strange.

"Miss Lin, there's news." Shi Lei shouted, and at the same time got up and walked to the side, Lin Meiyi followed, he lowered his voice and said:

"One of my brothers beggars said, 'This morning, before dawn, I saw a carriage going out of the north gate, and the gate will not be opened in due time, and it must be the man the girl is looking for to come to the carriage."

After speaking, Shi Lei stopped caring about Lin Meiyi and pondered by himself.

The lady and lady of the county order have run away, what about the county order?

Is the prefectural ordinance still in the city?

Outside are just some of the victims who want to say something? The county order opened the warehouse and released grain to appease, which should be able to calm down the turmoil, and the county order's wife and lady can leave overnight?

Could it be that there is a deeper secret in this?

Shi Lei raised his head, Lin Meiyi was no longer there, but he didn't care about her now, so he hurriedly recruited Qiu Laosi and asked him to take the two brothers to keep an eye on the movements of the yamen, and notify him as soon as there was news.

Qiu Laosi left with two dexterous people.

Lin Meiyi returned to the entrance of the alley, threw the remaining buns to Ah Da, got on the wheel, and drove the car herself.

Ah Da didn't talk nonsense, honestly ate his own buns, and when he finished eating, the ox cart stopped and stopped at the back door of the embroidery workshop.

The guy came to open the door, looked at Lin Meiyi who was coming and returning in surprise, and immediately thought of the riot that had just happened in the city, thinking that she had come in for refuge, and hurriedly opened the door to let her in.

"Miss Lin, can't you get out of the city.....

Before the man could finish speaking, he heard a neighing from the stable, and he hurriedly looked up, and his heart was about to frighten out.

"Miss Lin, what are you doing?!"

"Tell Shopkeeper Qiu that I'll borrow her horse for use!" As she spoke, Lin Meiyi had already jumped onto the horse, grabbed the horse's belly and ran out of the gate.

Ah Da only heard a sentence from afar, "Wait here for me to come back", and the person disappeared.

The guy chased him out, but he was still left behind, so he had to walk back dejectedly and ask Ah Da what the hell was going on.

Ah Da was sullen and didn't say a word, he was thinking about how the master should get out of the city.

The north and south gates are closed, and in this situation, if ordinary people want to leave the city, will the gatekeeper let them go?

What Ah Da was worried about Lin Meiyi had already prepared, the wooden winding charm was crushed, and the crooked-necked old tree on the side of the North City Gate suddenly grew wildly, and the long vines entangled Lin Meiyi and Ma, and took her and Ma to the outside of the city, and after completing the mission, they turned into dust and disappeared without a trace.

Perhaps, in a few days, someone will find that the old tree that used to grow on the side of the north gate is gone.

But it's also possible that no one will find out at all. Because no one has time to observe the life and death of a tree now.

Out of the city, Lin Meiyi found that there were no victims gathered in the north, but victims came one after another.

These people, ragged, sallow-faced, and depressed, some men and women, some old and some young, several families are together, although they are scattered, but if they are together, the number should not be underestimated.

originally guessed that the situation in the villages was not optimistic, but seeing it with her own eyes, Lin Meiyi couldn't help but sigh.

It is only the end of May, and the crops are all destroyed, and if the imperial court does not give grain, the people will not survive next autumn's harvest.

It is said that the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and what these people who have nothing will do is impossible to predict now.

Riding a horse and running past these victims quickly, some people saw it from afar and wanted to come over to stop Lin Meiyi, but unfortunately, a group of hungry people who had no strength could not resist the whip thrown out by Lin Meiyi, and before they could get close, they had already fallen.

The farther north she went, the more victims she encountered on the way, and seeing this scene, Lin Meiyi's uneasy feeling became stronger and stronger.
