She saw the marked spots, which were far away from where they had found the silver.

Look at the mark is a village, and it is relatively far away from Yunzhou City, it is such a long distance, but there can be so many crazy people running in Yunzhou City, and there are so many concentrations when they are silent, which has to make people think more.

And now to find out why these people were mad, she put away the letter and decided to go there and have a look.

She called Wang Erquan over and said, "Now the old lady doctor is still preparing prescriptions that can alleviate Rong Yan's condition, you and Yueqing stay here and watch, I have something to do when I go out." ”

"It's good to look at Yueqing here, and there is a lot of comfort, the subordinates still follow Miss, otherwise Miss will go out alone, and now Yunzhou City is in this situation, I'm afraid it's not safe." Wang Erquan said.

Zhao Yunling frowned: "No need, I'm just alone, there are still a lot of things that have not been solved on the side of the government now, Yueqing has to look at the problems on Rong Yan's side, and there are still so many crazy people in the government, if there are not enough people, it will be easy to make trouble at that time, you still stay, help the prefect manage the affairs in this government, chase me, you don't have to worry, I just go to investigate quietly, I won't face people head-on, and I will come back soon." ”

"But ......"

"No, that's it, I'll leave now. You go first. ”

Zhao Yunling raised his hand to interrupt Wang Erquan's words, and then went directly outside, Wang Erquan wanted to follow, Queyu knew that his young lady would definitely not let her follow, after thinking about it, Wang Erquan went to Yueqing's side, and after telling the matter, let Yueqing divide a secret guard to follow Zhao Yunling, and if there was anything, he would report it in time.

Yueqing immediately went to do it.

After Zhao Yunling left Yunzhou City, he felt that a secret guard was following behind, but he didn't say anything, and went directly to the village marked on the previous letter.

Because the distance between the village is a little far, Zhao Yunling found a fast horse, it took more than two hours to get to the place, when he arrived at the village, it was already evening, the red sun was sinking in the west, the entrance of the village was quiet, Zhao Yunling glanced around to make sure that there was no problem before getting off the horse, leaving the horse outside the village, and then quietly entering.

There was some dilapidation in the village, as if it had been violently demolished by some uncontrollable factors, there was no movement in the first few small houses, and the doors and windows of every house were closed, as if they were not at home, and when they reached the center of the village, they heard a little noise in a blue brick house, and she immediately flashed to the side, hiding her figure by the things piled up by the yard.

Soon, two people came out of the house, muttered to each other twice and went to the other side of the village together, but after a while, two more people came over, guarding this place like a change of guard, Zhao Yunling felt something strange in his heart, looked around, and finally ran to the back of the house, went to the roof, and quietly untied a piece of tiles, only to see the situation below.

There is a mountain of grain in the center of the house, if it is just a small village, it is impossible to have so much food, and now Yunzhou City is a place of drought, so much food is just guarded by a few people, and there is no intention to take it out and use it at all, and the guide is deliberately hoarded.

She noticed that the two people below were sitting at the doorway, quietly putting down the tiles, and just as they were about to leave, there was a sudden slip under their feet, and a sound was made, and the people below immediately shouted: "Who! ”

As he spoke, he opened the door and went outside, and a person ran to a place that seemed to be used to issue an alarm, knocked a few times, and soon someone came around, Zhao Yunling saw those people below on the roof, and knew in his heart that it must be a vicious battle now, and he just wanted to check what was going on here, and he didn't want to waste time fighting at this time.

After only a cursory glance at how many people there were, he quickly got down from the roof, and immediately from behind, towards the hill behind the village, relying on the dexterity of only one person to dodge in the mountain, the people in the village chased them to the foot of the mountain with their things, and it seemed that they had no intention of continuing to chase up.

Zhao Yunling was at the top of the mountain, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

She heard no movement below, stood up and was about to leave, when she suddenly saw a piece of coarse cloth hanging from a branch not far away, as if it had been torn off in a hurry.

She frowned, walked over and ripped it off, this is indeed like the material of clothes worn by ordinary people on weekdays, and it seems that there are not many people coming to this mountain, even the group of people at the bottom of the mountain will not come up when they chase it down.

In other words, what else might be on this mountain?

She looked ahead, put away the strip of cloth, and passed over there.

There are a lot of thorns on the road, and this road is obviously not walked by anyone on weekdays, but not far away, a piece of cloth was found, all of which were caught in the thorn bush and torn off.

She followed all the way, and soon found that there was a cave hidden not far behind the thorn bushes, similar to the Shandong where the silver was hidden before, and when I came before, I heard that the geography of Yunzhou was very peculiar, there were many mountains and many shady caves on the mountains, which was a good place to escape the heat in summer, hidden in the layers of woods.

When she got to the outside of the cave, she even saw traces of life, Zhao Yunling glanced inside, and was about to go inside, when she suddenly noticed a slight noise in the bushes next to her, her face suddenly changed, she turned around, and caught a little girl with pigtails from among the bushes. 666 Literature Network

The little girl looked at her timidly, her eyes were teary, but she didn't dare to cry out with her mouth flat.

The vigilance in Sang Xiu's heart relaxed suddenly, looking at this little girl was quite normal, she rubbed her face and showed a smile: "Little girl, why are you here?" ”

The little girl pointed to the inside of the cave, Zhao Yunling glanced at it, thought about it, took the little girl and went inside, and went inside to find that the cave was not dark, and there was a sparse light falling on the top of the cave, just because it was almost night, so the light was very dim, and the little girl had been timid, and after arriving inside, suddenly a person rushed out of it.

Zhao Yunling blocked the front with a sword, and the man rushed to the front and was startled, his face turned white with fright.

It was a haggard woman.

"You, who are you!"

The woman's frightened voice soon alarmed the people inside, and many people came out noisily with things, and the woman looked at the little girl in Zhao Yunling's hand worriedly, and she didn't dare to step forward.

Zhao Yunling saw that there were some ordinary people, and most of them were old and weak women and children, only two or three young men, she withdrew her sword, let go of the little girl and let her walk over, the woman hugged the little girl, and then stepped back, and only a few young and middle-aged men came forward with sticks, staring at Zhao Yunling with unkind eyes; "You don't look local, what are you doing here?"

"You're not infected?" Zhao Yunling looked at these people and said in a calm tone.

Several young men froze for a moment, and looked at her with even more puzzled eyes: "Who are you, and what do you want to do here?" ”

"I'm from the capital, and I'm here to investigate this matter, and I've been attacked by crazy people before, so I came in more, but I didn't expect to meet you." Sang Xiu said half-truthfully, she did come from the capital to investigate this matter, but she came here because of the things in the village below.

"From the capital?"

The people behind whispered a few words, looking at her gaze still not quite convinced.

One of the young men said, "You really came from the capital to investigate this matter?" ”

"Yes."

Zhao Yunling nodded, and suddenly remembered that she still had a token on her body, she and Rong Yan had taken several tokens before, all of which were on her body, and they could still come in handy at a critical time, she took it out and handed it over, and the person who had just asked took it carefully, and after looking at it for a while, she showed it to the people around her, and this group of people slowly lowered their guard: "We believe you for the time being." ”

After saying that, he got out of the way and invited her in to talk.

After entering the cave, I found that there were two torches lit inside, some daily necessities were placed around, a bonfire was lit in the middle, and there were makeshift beds in the corner, and several children sleeping in the quilts.

After Zhao Yunling went over and sat down, an old man sat next to Zhao Yunling, and said in an old voice: "I thought that no one would take care of our affairs, but I didn't expect that someone else would come. ”

Zhao Yunling is now dressed in men's clothes, so it is convenient for him to act, and the old man will call him an adult.

"What's going on with you? When I was passing through the village below, I noticed that the doors and windows of every house were closed, but you had moved into this cave? Zhao Yunling asked directly.

"We don't want to come to this place, since the adults are from the village under the mountain, they should find that something is wrong in the village, not long ago suddenly people from other places suddenly entered the village, at first they just said that they wanted to stay overnight, and then they did not leave, and a lot of food was brought in, and at that time the drought was already very serious, and those people from other places gave us a part of the food for use, as long as there was a place to live."

"Is that the grain that is guarded at the bottom of the mountain?"

"Yes." The old man nodded: "At first, there was no accident, but all of a sudden there was a lot more food, we felt that something was wrong, some people wanted to ask, but one person went and did not come back, and then many people came directly, and wanted to arrest all of us, those young children escorted us to the mountain, but they were all caught back, and they have not come back." The old man sighed.

When Zhao Yunling heard this, his eyes flashed, and he was suddenly able to smooth this line.
