Chapter 314: Involving the Royal Family
Hearing footsteps outside the door, Bai Ling turned around and saw Li Jin rushing over with a few villagers and commanded:
"Tie up all the people first, divide a part of the people to guard the back door, and can't let anyone go until the people from the government come over."
"Yes." Li Jin followed Bai Ling, and everyone also took him as the backbone.
Bai Ling walked towards the backyard, a small town mayor dared to be so lawless, there must be someone above.
Although Lao Wu had already checked it, Bai Ling still felt that there were some hidden places, such as the person who really gave the mayor courage, it was by no means as simple as a small Beijing official.
This time, Bai Ling didn't plan to ransack the mayor's treasury, the silver would be used for disaster relief, and the right was given to Ouyang Governor's Mansion, so he went directly to the study.
As the mayor of the town, he is by no means a person who likes to read, but the study is locked inside and out for several floors, and there are guards with weapons.
"It's not much different from a cottage, it can't be a bandit's den, right?" Looking at several fierce and vicious courtyards, Bai Ling immediately dodged and hid in the space.
From this group of people, Bai Inspiration was smashed, which was not possessed by the family who had been put down by ** before.
It's just that the guards are scattered and guarding the courtyard, and their vigilance is also high, and Bai Ling doesn't dare to act rashly.
"At least two living mouths are needed, and we can't let them go to the front yard, otherwise the villagers who come with them will have to die, which will be difficult." Bai Ling sat on the ground, paying attention to the activities of several people, and she soon found the loophole.
When these people cross patrols, there will be back-to-back times, and only then is it safest to take drugs.
With a plan, Bai Ling took out the enhanced version of ** and moved it to the middle of the courtyard.
After another cup of tea, several people crossed patrols again, Bai Ling saw the opportunity to sprinkle **, and quickly moved the space, and before everyone reacted, he sprinkled medicine on the people in the direction of the headwind.
"Who? Get out of here! A man with a scar on his face shouted and raised his saber in defense, and the others were immediately alert.
"Whoosh!"
Before several people could gather, a hidden arrow was shot into the man's forehead, killing him instantly.
Although the others held their breath, they still couldn't avoid inhaling a little **, but it was no problem to stand up for a while.
Seeing that someone wanted to retreat, Bai Ling hurriedly spilled a large handful of quenched embroidery needles and attacked indiscriminately.
Three more people fell to the ground after being hit, and their throats were sealed with blood.
The remaining few people had already come close together, looking around for the enemy's whereabouts, but they couldn't find the slightest clue, but their posture of precaution was 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 poison that seals the throat with blood is rare, and Bai Ling will not waste the few pieces that are left.
"Hold on, if you hit my **, you can hold up another cup of tea." Bai Ling was not in a hurry to make a move, and only by leaving a few more live mouths could he have a chance to pry his mouth open.
Those few people didn't expect the effect of the medicine to be so strong, they were all men with big shoulders and round waists, and they fell to the ground one after another, unconscious.
For the sake of safety, Bai Ling sprinkled another bag of **, and waited for half a pillar of incense before he got everyone into the space, tied them up one by one, and threw them into the forest where wild beasts were raised.
"Silver wolf, watch over them, don't kill them." Bai Lingchong, who could understand the words of the silver wolf, explained, and entered the study, and then came out of the space.
There are several rows of bookshelves in the study, but there are not a few good books, which are nothing more than put on display.
On the contrary, there are several monuments hanging on the walls, and the color of the paper shows that they are old.
Bai Ling rummaged for a while, and found a secret compartment under the bookcase, which contained several letters, but the payment was vague, and Bai Ling couldn't guess whose handwriting it was.
"The study is tightly guarded, and it shouldn't be just these letters." Bai Ling continued to search, and just as she was about to give up, her eyes fell on the mahogany chair behind the bookcase.
Coming to the chair again, Bai Ling tried to push, but to no avail several times.
At this moment, Bai Ling heard footsteps outside the door and hurriedly dodged into the space.
Aunt Hua pushed open the study and entered, fastened the door, and came to the bookcase with her skirt, and when she lifted the armrest of the chair, she heard the sound of the wall behind her opening.
"This switch is interesting, it seems that this woman is not simple." Bai Ling urged the space and followed Aunt Hua.
Walking through a long secret passage, flanked by walls made of gold and silver, and in the middle of it were boxes of jewels and a lot of food.
Putting grain, gold, silver, and jewelry in one place, Bai Ling saw it for the first time.
But Aunt Hua didn't care about any of this, ran straight to the corner, opened an inconspicuous wooden box, opened the ledger inside and glanced at it a few times, and let out a long breath.
"A useless man can't even be a woman." Aunt Hua said, blowing up the fire and throwing it into the box.
Bai Ling didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly put the fire fold and the account book into the space together.
"Hell!" Aunt Hua shouted in horror and ran out like crazy.
Bai Ling hurriedly shot a sleeve arrow at Aunt Hua and stabbed Aunt Hua in the shoulder.
"Ahh Aunt Hua covered her shoulders, her body was weak and couldn't lift her strength, and she fainted to the ground.
After imprisoning Aunt Hua, Bai Ling walked around the secret room and found that many gold and silver had the marks of the government, and even some of the jewelry had traces of the inner court.
"Royalty involved?"
Bai Ling had a headache, once these things saw the light, it would definitely not end well.
And the Ouyang prefect has always been cautious, and he doesn't dare to investigate deeply, right?
"That's it, I'll keep these things for myself first, and let Shangguan make up his mind when I go back."
As soon as his mind moved, Bai Ling put all the things in the secret room into the space, and released some of the unmarked gold and silver in his space, and then hid in the space and left.
When Bai Ling returned to the front yard, there were more bound people in the yard, in addition to the subordinates, there were many gorgeously dressed women, but there were few children.
"County Lord, these people want to escape through the back door, they have knives in their hands, and fortunately they have the medicine that the county lord gave us, otherwise they would have to be hacked to death." When Li Jin saw Bai Ling coming, he immediately reported.
"Good work."
Bai Ling smiled lightly and said to everyone:
"The villagers have worked hard today, the town mayor's evil deeds are heinous, and the government will punish them. We assisted the government in arresting these unrighteous people who oppressed the good people and made disasters and fortunes, and we are doing the right thing for heaven.
But the big guys are law-abiding ordinary people, don't hurt these people in the slightest, lest they bite back and say that we are here to rob, and then a good thing will become a bad thing. ”
"The county lord is right, let's just watch the people, we can't beat them, and don't take anything from here, even needles and threads can't work." A village chief understood what Bai Ling meant, and immediately shouted at the villagers.
There are a few village chiefs who speak, and the villagers have to be obedient.
"Li Jin, you take a few brothers and go to the kitchen to get some hot food. There is a banquet in the mayor's mansion, and delicious food and drink are indispensable, so that the big guy is welcome. ”
Bai Ling glanced at the banquet and said with some embarrassment:
"If we really eat these good wines and good foods, we will lie on the ground like them."
Afraid that there would be changes, Bai Ling would not be able to leave, so he closed the door of the mayor's mansion with a group of people and waited for the arrival of the official mansion together.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of food and drink in the mayor's mansion, even if there are not enough vegetables, only eating some white porridge is good for these villagers.
After receiving Bai Ling's letter, the Ouyang prefect immediately sent someone to Quanshui Town, but it also arrived at dawn, so there was no need for Bai Ling to wait here.
