Chapter 143: Celebrating the Beginning of Autumn

Lin Xiaoman had just arrived at the city gate and saw several carriages coming out of the city.

At this time, the sky was not as hot as before, but it was really not cool, and the curtains of several carriages were tightly blocked, which was really not afraid of the heat.

Lin Xiaoman looked at it a few more times, and then saw several familiar faces inside: Aren't these all people from the county government?

Looking at the tightly blocked carriage, Lin Xiaoman blindly guessed, probably, it was probably the county magistrate Lu Jin sitting inside?

What are these people doing when they go out of town at this time? Is it to catch the traitor in secret?

Just as she could see it, one hand covered the curtain on the side, revealing Lu Jin's delicate and good-looking face, and suddenly, Lin Xiao's face turned red.

Seeing that he opened his mouth as if he had something to say, Lin Xiaoman immediately made a mouth shape: Xu Yuanru!

In Lu Jin's puzzled gaze, she threw the cave structure map and personnel list sent by Xu Yuanru into it, it should be Xu Yuanru's credit to Xu Yuanru, she can't do that kind of thing to rob people of credit.

Lu Jin was wondering why Lin Xiaoman mentioned Xu Yuanru, but he was smashed in the face by the paper thrown over, and when he came back to his senses, he and Lin Xiaoman had already staggered.

Picking up the paper that had just smashed his face, Lu Jin couldn't help laughing, opened it and looked at it, his pupils vibrated in shock.

In addition to the cave structure map, what shocked him the most was the list on another piece of paper, and he couldn't be more familiar with the names on the top, and the prefect of Wuzhou was on the list.

There are still a few people in it that he has suspected for a long time, but more of them are very hidden, even with the list at this time, he can't believe that these people will rebel, and they are hidden deep enough.

This is the structural diagram and personnel list sent by Xu Yuanru? Although he didn't have much affection for the woman, it has to be said that the construction diagram and the list were extremely useful to him.

Looking at the big words 'Xiaoman help' on it, Lu Jin thought: That's it, if you can rescue her.

If it doesn't work...... can only resign themselves to fate.

After Lin Xiaoman entered the city, he went around Feng Ji, listened to the series of apologies from the shopkeeper Feng, waved his hand and said: "I don't blame the shopkeeper Feng if I can't find anyone, maybe I shouldn't make this money." ”

Shopkeeper Feng said: You will make a lot of money with alabaster cream, and it doesn't matter if you have less nourishing cream, but I can't bear the silver that I can easily get.

But he couldn't find Xu Yuanru, and he couldn't help it, and even he wondered if Lin Xiaoman and Xu Yuanru had avoided him and made a private deal.

However, the shopkeeper Feng said something to Lin Xiaoman, "A few days ago, Feng Ji of Wuzhou Mansion received a big order and ordered 50,000 boxes of clam oil. ”

"Why do you want so much at once?" Lin Xiaoman was surprised, seeing that this amount would not be kept for himself, but if he bought it back and sold it, he wouldn't make much profit after handling Feng Ji, could it be that he wanted to sell it to neighboring countries?

Shopkeeper Feng shook his head, "It shouldn't be, it was said that it was made by the prefect, but it was not to be sent to the army for the soldiers." Wuzhou Mansion is located in the bitter cold, and in winter, the soldiers have frostbite on their hands and feet, and they can't hold their weapons when they are in pain. ”

Lin Xiaoman thought of what he heard from Lu Jin and Qingshu before, there is a problem with the Wuzhou prefect, the clam oil he ordered will really be used by the officers and soldiers? Or is it for the rebels?

Lin Xiaoman absentmindedly said a few words to Shopkeeper Feng and then left in a hurry.

If she didn't know where the rebels were hiding before, but after seeing the cave structure map sent by Xu Yuanru, it was winding inside, and it seemed that the mountain had been opened, maybe the rebels were hiding inside.

50,000 boxes of clam oil, even if each person gets five boxes, there are 10,000 people, Lu Jin only transferred the troops of a few counties this time, and the other party has a large number of weapons, didn't they send food in the past?

And these people, most likely, are only part of it.

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, Lin Xiaoman drove the donkey to fly up on all fours when he rushed back, for fear that he would be one step slower, and when he returned to the village, what he saw was that Lu Jin and others were killed by the rebels.

Who knew that when he recovered the village, he didn't see Lu Jin and others. Thinking that their group had changed into civilian clothes and traveled in a low-key manner, Lin Xiaoman was suddenly taken aback, they must have taken a detour to the mountain from elsewhere.

There are too many ways to go up the mountain, and Lin Xiaoman doesn't know which way they will follow, or even if they will walk from the mountain or from the bottom of the valley.

At this time, he couldn't ask people about the whereabouts of Lu Jin and the others, and Lin Xiaoman was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

When passing by Xu Qiuliang's house, Xu Qiuliang was drinking tea in the courtyard, and Lin Erhu was sitting next to him, shaking his head and shaking his head with a book.

Xu Qiuliang greeted, "Xiaoman, do you eat fish at night?" ”

Lin Xiaoman seemed to have found the backbone, Xu Qiuliang was the person Lu Jin trusted, and asked who knew Lu Jin best, it was none other than Xu Qiuliang.

Lin Xiaoman entered the courtyard, "Uncle, I have something to ask you." ”

Usually when Lin Erhu teased Xu Qiuliang, he was quite proud, but when Lin Xiaoman called him like this, he suddenly became shy, "Mmmm, you ask." ”

Lin Xiaoman said: "Adults are in danger, I want to stop it, but I can't find others." If they can't stop it in time, they are afraid that their lives will be guaranteed, what should they do if they are uncles? ”

Xu Qiuliang was stunned for a moment, "What you said is the truth?" ”

Lin Xiaoman nodded vigorously, "Your Excellency has led a team into the mountains to exterminate the rebels, but I just discovered that there may be a large number of rebels, if you can't stop your lordship in time...... Uncle, you have to think of a way. ”

Xu Qiuliang didn't say a word, turned around and entered the house, and after a while, he took out a bamboo pipe, and looked carefully at the lead below.

Take out the fire fold and light the lead, raise your hand and raise it in the air, wait for the lead to burn out, the sound of breaking the air sounds, and a smoke is drawn in the sky, and finally a flash of light explodes in the sky.

Xu Qiuliang said: "This is my communication fireworks, as long as it is lit, I am in danger, but I don't know if he can understand it." But he can't understand it, and he's afraid that he will have to startle the snake, as long as he has a brain, he won't lead the team into the mountains again. After this alone, the rebels in the mountains will also be shocked, and it will be more difficult to capture them in the future. ”

Lin Xiaoman's heart was half relieved, and in the future, he couldn't watch Lu Jin and the others go to death, right?

Lin Erhu had already put down the book, tilted his head and thought for a while, then turned around and ran home, Lin Xiaoman shouted from behind: "Where are you going?" ”

Lin Erhu didn't look back, "I want to set off fireworks." ”

Lin Xiaoman almost instantly understood his intentions, the signal had to be sent, if he could cover up the signal fireworks with fireworks, I wonder if those people in the mountains would dispel their vigilance when they saw it?

Lin Xiaoman threw down a sentence, "Uncle, bring my aunt to the house to watch the fireworks." ”

Although Xu Qiuliang didn't know what the fireworks they were talking about, he also understood their intentions, but this is not a festival, who will set off fireworks?

Yes, who can't celebrate the beginning of autumn today?
