Chapter 176: Fraud and Counterfeiting
Jiang Lin held the only trumpet in his hand and played with it as he walked.
After Qin Xiangnuan stuttered, she was no longer worried. After all, Qin Guang would understand that these strange things were hers.
"who!"
Jiang Lin suddenly stopped and looked around vigilantly.
"I didn't hear it." Qin Xiangnuan frowned and whispered in Jiang Lin's ear, "Are there many people?"
Qin Xiangnuan felt that the other party must be someone with excellent lightness skills, which is why she couldn't detect him. His fighting power must be superior to hers.
"I can't hear it." Jiang Lin put the speaker in Qin Xiangnuan's arms, protecting her with one hand and placing the other hand on the dagger.
Stopping here was not a good option, so the two returned to the camp cautiously.
"It's not a good place to stay for long. Pack up and leave."
Jiang Lin sent a group of secret guards to explore the forest. Qin Xiangnuan and he split up into two groups and arranged for everyone to get on the carriage.
"The tents haven't been collected yet!" The carriage was about to depart. Qin Feng got on the carriage and looked back and forth. He felt reluctant to leave when he saw the tents.
"Cousin, collecting that is a waste of time. Get in the car first."
"But……"
Qin Xiangnuan jumped out of the car and gave him a strong push. "No buts, I promise you will see it again."
Qin Feng hardened his heart and the carriage moved forward quickly.
"Where are we going to camp tonight?" Qin Guang, who was driving the carriage in the front, asked Qin Xiangnuan loudly in the carriage.
Due to a sudden illness, they were supposed to set off this morning but chose to stay, but now they are on the road again due to an unexpected situation.
It was no longer suitable to continue sleeping outside, so their only option was to enter the village.
"I don't think the Third Miss is in exile, but rather on the run."
Jiang Lin was in charge of covering the rear on the last carriage. He was thinking with his eyes closed when he heard the sound of undercurrent and opened his eyelids.
"Why did you come here?"
"Master, my Ren... I had nothing to do with the Third Young Lady, so I came back." Anliu smiled brightly.
Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows, "Has your lifelong event been finalized?"
"It's done!" Anliu replied happily, but then realized something was wrong, "Mine? Isn't it yours?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Lin was puzzled.
The undercurrent became urgent, and after a long explanation, he finally made it clear what he had done.
"You are quite capable of making your own decisions."
Jiang Lin's voice was cold and Anliu couldn't make out the meaning behind it. He could only judge from Jiang Lin's expression that he would not punish him.
An Feng, who had stopped the whole process, suddenly laughed, "Are you a waste?"
"Do you want to fight with me today?" Anliu could accept any treatment from Jiang Lin, but he didn't want Anfeng's sarcasm.
"Don't waste your energy." An Feng raised his eyebrows. At this moment, his mood suddenly became brighter, and he looked at An Liu with leisure and fun again.
"That's enough." Seeing Anliu was about to roll up his sleeves, Jiang Lin spoke up. He held his forehead and said to Anliu, "After we rest, you and Nuannuan go apologize."
"Master, I have done nothing I shouldn't have done." Anliu clasped his fists and said, "I... haven't had time to do it yet."
An Feng sneered and received a roll of the eyes from An Liu.
"Don't make me repeat myself."
"...Yes, Master."
Anliu looked at Jiang Lin's attitude and felt that he should think about how to confess to Qin Xiangnuan in order to avoid a "beating".
"You should stay with Nuannuan from now on." Jiang Lin thought about it and decided that letting Anliu stay would make it easier for Qin Xiangnuan to find someone to do things, and he would be able to know more promptly if something happened.
"Master, you don't want me anymore?" Anliu was shocked. Just as he was about to speak, he thought of something and changed his words, "I know, Master. Anyway, it doesn't matter where I am now."
No one thought his words were inappropriate, but no one knew the true meaning of the undercurrent.
Their carriage was moving very fast and no one was chasing them. At this time, the news came from the secret guard.
"No one?" An Feng had no doubt about Jiang Lin's words. There must be someone there, but they just haven't found him.
"Could it be someone from Heshui Town?" The situation of not being able to find anything was very similar to that night, and Anliu couldn't help but guess this.
"What exactly are they planning?" Jiang Lin pondered to himself.
The other party didn't make anything public, which made them feel very passive. It wasn't a good feeling.
"Write a letter back to Beijing and ask the people there to investigate Heshui Town thoroughly and make sure to find any clues." Jiang Lin could no longer be slow in dealing with Heshui Town. The other party was like a lingering ghost and was too annoying.
"yes."
Before their vision turned completely black, they finally saw a small village. It was really small and they could see the end at a glance.
"It should be safe here." No one is interested and there is no profit to be made. Who would come here to cause trouble? Qin Feng is very satisfied with this place.
On the muddy, winding dirt road in the village, an old man, leading a cow, was walking towards them in the distance. Qin Feng greeted him with a smile, intending to ask about the village's situation. Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, the old man spat at him and angrily yelled, "Get lost!"
"Uncle, we are not bad people!" Qin Xiangnuan stepped forward and spoke in a gentle voice.
"You are not, are we?" The old man was very angry, pointing the pointed end of the farm tool in his hand at them, and said mercilessly, "You bastards, we are already in this situation, why are you still hurting us!"
In a word, Qin Xiangnuan and the others understood that someone was causing trouble for them.
"Old man, we are just passers-by." Qin Xiangnuan spoke softly and slowly explained their identities.
Who would have thought that although the old man was old, his eyesight was very sharp. With just one glance, he saw that some of them were wearing official uniforms.
"It must be the people being bullied by the corrupt officials again."
They really couldn't explain themselves this time. No matter what they said, the other party believed they were talking nonsense.
"Nuannuan, how about we look for another place?" Qin Guang was at a loss. They couldn't be violent with the old man, and the other party simply ignored what they said.
It was getting late, and this was not a solution.
"That's all we can do."
But at the moment, there was no good place to go, no tents, and it was cold at night, and the carriage could not withstand the cold.
Qin Xiangnuan was thinking about what kind of warming things she could take out. Just as she had thought of something, Jiang Lin came over, smiled at her deliberately, and stood in front of Qin Guang.
"General Qin, did you get any treasures from that strange man?"
"Oh no." Qin Xiangnuan thought to herself that something was wrong and wanted to save the situation.
But Jiang Lin spoke before her, "That la pa today really opened my eyes."
"Ah! A pa, that's what I gave to Nuannuan." Qin Guang's eyes kept drifting to Qin Xiangnuan while he was speaking. When he noticed that her expression was not right, he lowered his voice.
Jiang Lin turned his back to Qin Xiangnuan, raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "Heh."
Qin Guang didn't understand.
Jiang Lin stopped talking and said, "General Qin is indeed very knowledgeable."
The knowledgeable old general still fell into the trap set by Jiang Lin.
Qin Xiangnuan was so angry. Jiang Lin, this cunning fox, actually took advantage of her when she was not paying attention to defraud her. It was too much.
The overly aggressive Jiang Lin slowly passed by Qin Xiangnuan's eyes, "Nuannuan is also resourceful."
