A few days had passed, and Xie Hong couldn't help frowning.

He would urge Deputy General Gao to come almost every day.

However, Deputy General Gao always found excuses to shirk his responsibilities. In the end, he just said, "I won't come."

Xie Hong also felt at the beginning that he had to torture him quickly and get all the treasures in Yunhe Village.

but……

Deputy General Gao could easily bring the person here and lock him up in the dungeon.

Xie Hong couldn't help but wonder if Deputy General Gao was trying to embezzle the money?

But he changed his mind and thought, that’s not the case. In the capital, the Gao family still has to depend on their Gu family. How could they have the courage to do that?

Even if Deputy General Gao had a hundred courages, he would not dare to do anything rash.

Xie Hong frowned, and then he realized that he had never seen the soldier who delivered the letter before.

An absurd thought came to his mind.

Could it be that Deputy General Gao was defeated when he led a thousand troops there?

Xie Hong just thought it was ridiculous.

But he still kept his guard up. Guangcheng was not too far from Shawan County, so Xie Hongchu sent a few spies there.

Xie Hong is usually a little arrogant, but he has the basic ability.

He sent five trusted men to guard Shawan County, and any one of them could go to explore the way.

In this way, when Lin Jinyue sent the fake letter, there were four other people who could help verify the situation.

It’s just a tiny village. He didn’t believe that the Lin family was targeting Shawan County as well.

Xie Hong repeatedly reminded them to hide their identities, then he looked at the map with a frown.

He picked up a pen and drew a blood-red "x" on the small piece of land that read "Yunhe Village".

Sooner or later he will take over Yunhe Village!

On the other side, Lin Jinyue had a rare chance to rest and was walking leisurely in the village.

Today, the city wall has basically been repaired and can be regarded as an iron wall.

Now the village has built a bridge.

The port could originally only accommodate a few small boats, but after the construction, it can accommodate ten ships and is guarded by special personnel. There is also a watchtower, which is guarded by people on duty every day.

Coming in from the port, there is a long cement road.

Green plants are planted around.

This wide and long cement road leads to the village.

First is the village center, various shops, and a restaurant. Then further ahead is a residential area. The area reserved for the residential area is very large, and almost every household has built a two-story building. However, these have basically been taken up by those who fled together.

The academy is in a slightly secluded area behind the house.

This is the most prosperous place in the village.

Behind the shop is an apartment area built by Lin Jinyue. There are various apartments, including large bunk beds, beds in separate enclosed spaces, single rooms and suites.

Currently, the Tan family lives in the suite because Mr. Tan is rich.

Lin Jinyue originally wanted to let the Gu family move in, but they didn't agree and just slept on the big bunk bed.

This apartment area is planned to be quite large. Behind it are low-rise blue brick and tile houses. Further behind the tile houses are some temporary wooden houses. The living conditions there are slightly worse.

Similarly, there is a commercial area, but it is just a simple shed with random street stalls.

Lin Jinyue built cement roads in these places and also built a simple drainage system. Although it is a bit troublesome, there is a lot of rain in Lingnan, so with these, it can be said to be quite convenient.

The infrastructure of the whole village is quite good.

Lin Jinyue was very satisfied.

After the Gu family went to war, the stock of weapons in Yunhe Village decreased a lot, so they had to defend tightly.

It was a bit hot at night, so Lin Jinyue lay on the bamboo bed on the terrace and slept in the cool breeze.

The village was very quiet at this time, but she heard a scream while she was sleeping.

Lin Jinyue opened her eyes in a daze, and saw a soldier in armor not far away, covering his injured arm and howling.

Lin Jinyue was no longer sleepy, and immediately squeezed forward and asked: "Are we being targeted by Xie Hong?"

Does Xie Hong still have a husband keeping an eye on their village at this time?

Lin Shucheng comforted his daughter, "Don't worry, Yueyue, he probably didn't come from Shawan County. He probably came from a village in the southwest, and he was the only one seen nearby."

Lin Jinyue breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad, let's see if we can pry some information out of him."

As she was talking, Lin Jinyue squatted down, leveled her eyes with that person, and asked him, "Do you know the ten tortures?"

The man looked a little miserable.

Lin Jinyue said slowly, "Let me think about it. We don't have anything like the Iron Lady or quartering. The only thing we can use is castration. I'll just kill you."

As he spoke, he gestured at the man's crotch: "But, in the palace, if you use castration, at least there are doctors to help apply medicine, but here, life or death is left to fate. If you are castrated, we can also use amputation."

Lin Shucheng pointed at his knee and said, "If you dig this knee off, you will be disabled for the rest of your life."

A fishy smell came, and it turned out that the soldier had wet his pants.

Lin Jinyue shook her head: "Don't bother with that. If he doesn't say anything, then it's useless. Dad, why don't you try lingchi? Slice off his flesh in an hour and put it in the pot to cook. I want to see how long he can last."

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."

"We are General Xie's men who are searching for food and fodder. I was out in front to explore the way and saw that the lights were still on in your village at night. I also heard that your crossbows are very good, so I was thinking about whether I could capture you and kill you... Please let me go, I will definitely not say anything nonsense."

Lin Jinyue's eyes lit up. It's time to transport food and fodder.

If they can intercept the food and fodder transport, they will have both carts and food.

The captured soldier was named Tian Quan, and was a food and fodder transporter under Xie Hong.

However, the world is in chaos now and food is hard to find, so Xie Hong can only send it from other cities.

They were all wearing leather armor and had weapons in their hands. They were all well-trained in martial arts and were not afraid of the common people coming up to rob them.

This is a good deal for Lin Jinyue and the others.

Lin Jinyue has no shortage of food, but things are different now. Xie Hong has become their enemy. If he has less food, Lin Jinyue will have a better chance of winning.

There were 150 people transporting the food and fodder this time. According to the information provided by Tian Quan, these 150 people came in a hurry, and only 50 of them were wearing leather armor and weapons.

And there are no archers yet.

In other words, it is still easy to rob them.

These grains were nothing to Xie Hong, but to them, they might be the monthly food rations for more than 30 people.

At least for the next month, Lin Jinyue wouldn't have to watch the people of Linjia Village starve to death in front of her, and she could feel a little more at ease when she went to the farm to eat.

Lin Jinyue immediately said to her father: "Let's rob Xie Hong's food and make him vulnerable to attack from both sides. I think Prince Jing is also a useless straw bag. Hurry up and help the Gu family beat up Xie Hong."

"If I miss this opportunity, I'm afraid I won't have another chance in the future."
