But Tuoba Yu will still be found and captured. As for Shilin County, the court may pay more attention to him because of his contribution to the control of the epidemic.
If he could get promoted because of this, he would have more things under his control.
He can provide more to Xijinyun Kingdom.
The final result will never change.
Magistrate Sun raised his lips with a scornful smile, "Of course."
No one would have thought that a mere county magistrate would actually collude with the Xijinyun Kingdom, nor would anyone have thought that he would have such a strategy and ambition.
Just like back then, no one cared about a county magistrate who was wrongly imprisoned.
No one cared about the wife of a mere county magistrate who died of illness because of this.
Li Niang, I said that I would avenge you and let more people be buried with you.
There aren't enough of these people right now!
Magistrate Sun gritted his teeth and his angry gaze gradually moved from the departing carriage to his feet.
The blue bricks of the city wall under my feet already had several tiny cracks.
Shilin County has a long history, and this city wall has gone through many wars and renovations, bearing strong traces of time and history.
And now, a few more words should be written in the county annals of Shilin County.
Perhaps, his name will also be recorded in history.
It will be infamous forever.
But he didn't care.
Oh……
Magistrate Sun put his hands behind his back and moved slowly, "Are those people still making trouble?"
"They are at the west gate, making a lot of noise." The yamen runner replied, "They also said that they came to Shilin County because they heard that the county magistrate was kind to the people, but they never thought that you would watch someone in danger and not help him. It's completely different from the rumors that the county magistrate is just seeking fame..."
"If they want to argue, let them argue." Magistrate Sun disagreed. "When they make a fuss long enough and offer a high enough price, then let them in."
"And since they are using my reputation as an excuse, let them know that reputation is the least threatening thing."
Magistrate Sun paused and said, "After we let them into the city, we will place them in the southern part of the city."
Nancheng District is the area in Shilin County where the epidemic is most serious, and even now the issue of epidemic treatment has not been sorted out.
The purpose of relocating them to the South City District is obvious.
"Yes." The bailiff responded.
Magistrate Sun stayed on the city wall for a long time, pacing back and forth for a long time. When the sun gradually set, he raised his hand and called out to everyone, "Get ready to set off."
The distance between them was almost enough, and he caught up now, in just the right amount of time.
If he, the mastermind behind the search for Tuoba Yu, wasn't there to astound everyone, wouldn't it be a pity?
"Yes." Someone nearby responded.
A group of people and a carriage came out of the city gate, raising a cloud of dust on the official road again.
Su Yujin and others continued forward.
First it went north, then it turned west, then south...
Qingkui, who was sitting on the carriage, looked puzzled and said, "If we go this way, aren't we just going in a circle?"
"All's fair in war." Lu Wenjing smiled, "This matter is of great importance. We need to make sure there are no problems."
"That's exactly the point." Su Yujin nodded with a smile, "We still have plenty of time, so we don't have to rush straight to our destination. The surrounding scenery is nice, so it won't hurt to spend a couple of days wandering around."
"I think we should stay overnight in a nearby village and then set off again tomorrow morning."
It happened to be evening, and Lou Yanlin also needed to take some medicine to consolidate his condition. He could have a good night's rest and offset the fatigue from the day's long journey.
"Yeah." Lu Wenjing agreed and ordered people to check out the nearby terrain and houses.
That night, as Su Yujin suggested, they found a place to stay nearby.
We continued our journey the next morning.
After catching up with the whole day's journey on the second day, we found a place to stay again, rested for a night, and continued our journey the next morning...
Three whole days passed like this.
The sandstorm in the evening forced Su Yujin and others to end their itinerary for the day early and find a place to stay.
The subordinates of Magistrate Sun, who had been following them all the way and dressed up as passing merchants, had to find a place to settle down temporarily.
In order to continue tracking without being discovered by the other party, they could only light a bonfire in a nearby valley and cook some simple meals.
"Boss." The person who went to inquire about the news ran over quickly.
"How is it?" The leader was a man named Ye Wu, who spat out the chewed bones in his mouth.
"They have already taken a break. It seems that there is no movement at the moment. I guess they should have a good rest tonight." The person who was trying to get the news said, and then he spat on the ground, "These two women are really cunning. They have been taking advantage of us for several days, but they still won't stop."
"The more careful you are, the bigger the fish will be." Ye Wu chuckled, "I think the time is about right. Send someone to keep an eye on it tonight. You never know if there will be any movement in the second half of the night."
The man didn't agree, but after hearing what Ye Wu said, he responded, "Don't worry, boss. I'll go take another look."
It was late at night and the moon was setting.
The sky is full of stars and the chirping of autumn insects, highlighting the silence of the autumn night.
In the dark night, the candlelight suddenly lit up, followed by several lanterns coming out of the house.
Lead the horse, harness the carriage, and go out...
Su Yujin, Lu Wenjing, Lou Yanlin and their group quietly set out under the cover of night.
They were in a hurry and did not stop at all along the way. After traveling for two hours, they finally stopped near a village.
And this village was where they stayed the next night.
He quietly entered the village and went straight to a slightly shabby and inconspicuous farmhouse.
Lou Yanlin got off the carriage, opened the yard's fence gate himself, then walked quickly to the door and knocked gently a few times.
Three quick clicks, followed by a pause and then two slow clicks.
This is the secret code between them.
There was a knock on the door, and the sound of the bolt was heard from inside the door. After a moment, the door was opened a little.
Through the gap, you can see half of Lou Yansong's face.
Lou Yansong also saw Lou Yanlin outside the door and was immediately overjoyed, "Brother!"
"Yes." Lou Yanlin stretched out his hand to push the door open, "There are also Princess Ping'an and Miss Lu."
Only then did Lou Yansong see Su Yujin and Lu Wenjing behind Lou Yanlin. When he saw Su Yujin, his nose suddenly felt sore, "Sister Su..."
"After not seeing you for so long, Xiaoguai has really grown up a lot." Su Yujin said with a smile, and rubbed the top of Lou Yansong's head out of habit.
It’s just that before, when I reached out to rub the top of my head, I was looking down, but now I have to look straight ahead.
"Yes, he has grown a lot taller." Lou Yansong grinned.
The child grew into a teenager, and his face was full of smiles.
