Chapter 376: Countermeasures

"Where?"

"It's in a dilapidated house at the end of the village."

When the official heard what he said, he walked towards the end of the village.

Li Zheng looked confused, he didn't know what they were looking for, so he could only follow behind the official to find out.

The villagers, who were completely unaware of the situation, followed suit.

Soon, they were outside the dilapidated house at the end of the village, and as soon as they got close to them, they smelled a smell of rust.

"Boss, the tools are all in there."

The official head hummed and walked into the ruined house, and saw several large pots set up in it, and in a furnace there were iron tools that had been melted.

"You are so bold that you dare to make iron tools privately, and someone will surround the whole village for me, and no one can let go!"

Rimasa walked into the dilapidated house and was stupid when he saw the contents of the house!

He was stupid, and he also knew that in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was no approval from the government, and he would have to go to prison if he made a certain amount of iron!

"Master Guan misunderstood, this is a misunderstanding......" Li Zheng anxiously explained.

"Misunderstanding? There is so much molten iron in the house, and you told me that it was a misunderstanding, so where did you tell me where these things came from? ”

"This, this me, I don't know!" Rizheng was so anxious that he slapped his thigh.

The official leader snorted. "Hmph, there is always a time for you to be honest! Go and report to the lord and send someone to fence the whole village for me! "There are too many people in the village, and it is difficult to catch them all, so I can only besiege the village first and listen to the instructions of the superiors.

"Official, we are wronged, we really don't know what's going on......"

"Yes, Master Guan, wronged......"

Many villagers didn't know what was going on, but they were a little panicked when they saw Lizheng's posture, and they knelt down in front of the official messenger and begged for mercy.

And Ma Shaogang, who was hiding in the shadows, saw this scene in his eyes, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

"Can you really guarantee that the villagers will be okay?"

"Don't worry, even if they are really caught, they will be locked up for a few years at most before they come out, it's better than losing their lives." The man had been hiding in the shadows and not showing his face, and she was sure that he would not risk exposing himself in order to persecute the villagers.

Ma Shaogang couldn't refute Lin Mumu's words.

"Time is pressing, now you can show me the way?" After a few more days, she had to return to Xijing as soon as possible.

Ma Shaogang nodded. "Hmm."

As the night deepened, a black figure quietly entered the mountain forest and came to an abandoned wooden house in the mountain forest.

By the moonlight, you can see a figure swaying in the wooden house.

The black shadow walked into the cabin and knelt in front of the figure. "Lord, the man is gone."

The man looked out the window at the moonlit mountains and forests, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "What if I escape, I won't get her wish after all."

Lin Mumu...... Say that you can't marry Zhao Xuanling!

……

Inside the city of Xijing.

"Miss, Miss Lan is here." Stacked to Lin Mumu's door.

The words fell, and there was no response in the house for a long time.

Stacked looked at the closed door, his brows furrowed slightly.

Qiaoqiao has been missing for several days, although the eldest lady asks two questions every day, but Diedie can clearly feel that she doesn't take this matter to heart, which makes Diedie's heart more and more strange...... It's really not like what Lin Mumu is for.

"I'm a little unwell, let Miss Lan go back." When he tried to speak again, a cold voice came from inside the room.

She was stunned, she had been with Lin Mumu for so long, and this was the first time she refused to see Lan Qinzhu.

"What's so uncomfortable that you can't even see me?"

As soon as the words fell, Lan Qinzhu walked to the front of the house and directly pushed the door open and walked in.

The people in the room didn't seem to expect her to do this, and they were all stunned.

"I see that your face is very ruddy, and you look uncomfortable, what's the matter, you are ready to be the princess and look down on me, a little Luoluo?" Lan Qinzhu sat down on the chair with a big grin, pinched the pastry and ate it into her mouth. "Hmm, why is this snack so greasy, I remember you don't like to eat such sweet things?"

Lin Mumu came back to his senses, stood up, walked to Lan Qinzhu's side and sat down. "I didn't eat it."

Lan Qinzhu wiped her hands and squinted at her. "Aren't you happy that you're going to marry the king soon?"

Lin Mumu showed a shy look on her face, and pinched her sleeves with her eyes slightly lowered. "Happy."

Lan Qinzhu saw her like this and said "ha". "It's done, don't squirm in front of me, your shy little appearance should be left to the king, I came here today to add makeup to you."

Lan Qinzhu asked Tracy to bring a wooden box.

"Open it and see if you like it."

Lin Mumu took the wooden box and opened it, and inside was a set of mutton fat jade head jewelry, which was worth a lot of money at a glance.

"Wouldn't that be too expensive?"

Hearing her say this, Lan Qinzhu laughed. "I'm afraid you're too cheap, put it away, it will definitely look good with your light cyan corset."

"Hmm." Lin Mumu personally put the box into the cabinet.

Lan Qinzhu was stunned when she saw this.

"Strange, what about your two maids? Why don't you serve in front of you? ”

Lin Mumu lowered her eyes. "They haven't been feeling well for the past two days, I let them rest, you can't stay too long when you come out of the princess's mansion, go back quickly, and I'll go to see you when I'm free another day."

"I said that you are really a conscienceless, and you will drive people away after receiving things, Cheng, I will go to the Royal Mansion to find you after you get married, I have been curious about the Royal Mansion for a long time and have never had a chance to go in and see." Lan Qinzhu stood up as she spoke, she was in a hurry to go back because it was almost time for Fang Zhenxuan to practice.

"Okay."

Lin Mumu called to send off the guests.

"Mrs. Fang."

When he arrived outside the mansion, Diedie suddenly called Lan Qinzhu.

"How?" Lan Qinzhu looked back in confusion. 228 Literature Network

Stacked looked at her and pursed his lips.

"Whatever you have to say, just say it."

"Mrs. Fang thinks my young lady is a little ...... Odd? After thinking about it, Stack Stack still spoke.

"Strange?" Lan Qinzhu frowned.

"Yes."

Lan Qinzhu carefully recalled the contact with Lin Mumu just now. "It's a little strange to say that it's really a little weird, but she's not about to get married, she may be a little nervous, and it's normal to behave a little abnormally." I thought that she was so nervous when she was about to get married, but who knew how she would be after getting married......

Lan Qinzhu shook her head, unwilling to think about it.

"I'll leave first if there's nothing to do."

Stacked looked at the direction Lan Qinzhu left, thought about it, closed the door and walked onto the street, but in a moment her thin figure disappeared into the corner of the street......

……

Lin Mumu finally entered Xijing before the city gate was closed.

It was the first time Ma Shao had just arrived so far away from his hometown, and it was still the most prosperous capital in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he couldn't see it with a pair of eyes after entering the city.

"It's dark, why are there so many people on the street?"

Lin Mumu found a place to rent a carriage and rented a carriage.

"Where are we going?" Sitting in the carriage, Ma Shaogang still couldn't stop looking around curiously.

"Go to my house."

"Go, go to your house?"

"Hmm."

Ma Shaogang rubbed his hands a little crampedly. "Since I've arrived in Xijing, then the thing I promised you has been completed, so I won't bother......

Lin Mumu glanced at him. "Are you going to sleep on the street this big night?"

Belch......

The carriage soon arrived at Lin Mumu's mansion.

She jumped out of the car and paid for the car.

Ma Shaogang looked at the door of the mansion and sighed. "Miss Lin, I, I think I'd better not go in, lest it be misunderstood."

"What is the misunderstanding, this whole mansion is mine, who dares to misunderstand you." Saying that, Lin Mumu stepped forward and called the door. "Open the door, open the door."

After a while, the porter opened the door.

"The eldest lady is back."

Lin Mumu nodded and didn't think much about it. "I'm back."

"You go and clean up a guest room and come out, and bring Ma Gongzi over."

The porter looked at Ma Shaogang with some confusion and didn't dare to ask more. "Yes, Ma Gongzi, please."

"I, I'm not a son, just call me Shao Gang." Ma Shaogang scratched his head innocently.

"Go ahead, you're tired after so long on the road, have a good night's rest tonight."

"Thank you."

After the porter left with Ma Shaogang, Lin Mumu walked towards his yard.

"Miss?"

As soon as Lin Mumu walked up to the corridor, he ran into Ning Yuan, who was walking towards him.

"Ning Yuan."

Ning Yuan's gaze turned around on Lin Mumu, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

His expression was naturally seen by Lin Mumu. "Why, how long has it been since you knew me?"

Ning Yuan's eyes were even more puzzled. "Didn't the eldest lady go to the Imperial Palace?"

Lin Mumu's face turned pale. "I'm going to the Imperial Palace?"

"Yes, an hour ago, the eldest lady went to the Royal Mansion with Diedie, why did the eldest lady change her dress, and didn't Diedie come back with the eldest lady?"

The more Lin Mumu listened, the more confused he became. "No, I have to be smooth in this matter, I'm not in the mansion these days, when will I go to the palace?"

Ning Yuan looked surprised. "The eldest lady has been in the house these days, how can she not be there?"

Lin Mumu suddenly thought of Ma Laohan, and they asked her to disguise herself as Ma Qi'er.

"You mean I'm in the house all these days?"

"Yes."

"And what have 'I' been doing these days?"

Ning Yuan looked at Lin Mumu with a strange expression. "The eldest lady is mostly staying in the house these days."

"What the hell!" Lin Mumu cursed in a low voice and walked quickly towards his yard.

Seeing this, Ning Yuan hurriedly followed.

There was not a single person in the empty courtyard.

"What about Qiaoqiao and Shuangshuang?"

Lin Mumu turned around and looked at Shang Ning Yuan's strange look. "Miss, Shuangshuang fell into the well a few days ago, and is still unconscious, and happened to go to the pharmacy that night to grab medicine for Shuangshuang and disappeared, and his subordinates have been looking for it, but they have not been found."

"What? So much has happened in my time!! Lin Mumu turned around and walked out of the house. I'm going to see Shuangshuang. ”

When Lin Mumu arrived outside Shuangshuang's house, Ning Xiang was holding the medicine and preparing to go in, and when she saw Lin Mumu, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Slave and maid, see Miss."

"Didn't you say that you don't need these false courtesies in your own house? Is this a medicine for Shuangshuang? Show it to me. Lin Mumu said to Ning Xiang.

Ning Xiang was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't react for a while.

"What, I don't know your young lady anymore?"
