As soon as they came out of the government office, the prefect and his entourage noticed the large fire burning not far away.
Father Jiang asked:
"Where is the fire?"
They actually… Prefect Xu nearly fainted. “It’s the prefectural government office!”
Never mind, the government office is burned down, it can be rebuilt.
The fact that he is alive is the greatest blessing God could bestow upon him.
Qiu Dafu pursed his lips, the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat.
They faced the same problem as Zheng Hong: where to hide.
Now that the city gates are tightly closed, getting out is extremely difficult.
There are too many bad guys around, so we're casting a wide net to catch them.
Qiu Dafu, protecting Jiang Liu, said in a deep voice to the jailer following closely behind.
"Draw them away!"
They have a large number of people and too many targets, and this person has now become a rebel, so it's perfect to use him.
...The government office, because the buildings were not connected, was safe and sound except for the woodshed, kitchen, and study.
The man in white waited in front of the study, hoping to force Zheng Hong and the other man to reveal whether their actions were aimed at the prefect or at him.
If it were the prefect, he could use him. They shared a common enemy.
If it's him, then the problem is huge... He has to find the mastermind behind it all.
After all, there were quite a few people who wanted him dead.
Seeing that the fire was growing larger and larger, he guessed that the two of them had probably already been burned to a crisp, so he stopped waiting.
When he first arrived at the government office, he had been to the study, but he hadn't noticed the tall window inside.
When he arrived at the prison, it was already empty.
Gazing at the raging fire engulfing the government office, his feelings at that moment could no longer be described as mere anger.
His arrival and Qiu Dafu and the others' departure took only a moment.
He suddenly realized that he had not considered things properly.
However, he had already killed all the yamen runners in the government office, and not even a fly could get through the city gate. Who could possibly stand up to his jailers and snatch someone away right under his nose?
His jailers were all soldiers, and their abilities were beyond question.
Thinking of this, he summoned the jailer.
When the jailers realized they had been tricked, they all knelt down and begged for mercy.
But he still couldn't escape his fate of being killed.
And the jailer on duty tonight
He was unfortunate, but he was also fortunate.
In the alley of Huaiyuan, Qiu Dafu walked at the front, with three women supporting each other behind him.
Jiang's father and Prefect Xu were positioned at the rear, remaining vigilant at all times to guard against enemy attacks.
Ever since her arrest, Third Sister-in-law Yun has been thinking about Jiang Lian, wondering how her husband is doing.
Jiang's mother also had this question. Jiang Liu thought of her third brother, stepped forward, and walked alongside Qiu Dafu, "Have you ever met my third brother?"
"They should be fine." Qiu Dafu glanced at the raging fire again, wondering if the two were still at the government office.
Upon hearing Qiu Dafu's words, Yun immediately pressed for details.
Do you know where he is?
"He..." Qiu Dafu was thinking about how to answer when he saw two figures appear in front of him. "There."
Zheng Hong's heart tightened when he saw the person approaching, but he remained hidden.
Jiang Lian's eyelids were too heavy, and she had already fallen asleep.
Zheng Hong tightened his grip on Jiang Lian, hid behind the alley, turned his head, held his breath, and looked into the distance.
Upon seeing this, he relaxed, but his body went limp, exhausted to the extreme.
Jiang Lian slid down, but Qiu Dafu caught her with both hands...
The next morning, in Lingnan Village, Qiu Yan stood in front of the stove, busy with her work.
She loves this kind of idyllic rural life.
On the stove, besides millet porridge, there were also fried eggs, stuffed pancakes, and small green vegetables.
Occasionally, she would enjoy these relaxed and carefree days, and she felt incredibly happy.
