The sound stopped abruptly, and everyone hurriedly called the court doctor, but it was too late.
The whole prefecture was in chaos, and Mu Jin took advantage of the chaos to leave.
In a corner of the back door, they found Lu Tian and Mu Bai. They came to the city gate, found a hidden corner, threw the climbing rope, and climbed over the city gate and entered the team in the dark.
Not wanting to make the villagers think too much, they lied and said that they forgot the time while walking around and got lost on the way back, which delayed their departure from the city.
Everyone in the team had been waiting for news. After seeing the few people return safely and hearing this explanation, they breathed a sigh of relief and went to sleep.
Mu Jin originally planned to flee overnight, but now that the county magistrate is dead, the city must be in chaos. Tomorrow, she can incite the refugees and break down the city gate. Wouldn't that save a lot of effort and less walking?
After making up his mind, he gave Mu Bai a package and took Yi Yi to rest.
Lu Tian saw with his own eyes that the child was put into the cage, which was carried by Mu Bai.
They waited outside for most of the night, but did not hear the child cry or make a sound. They thought the child was not in the cage, but somewhere else.
Lu Tian knew what was so special about Mu Jin, and he also knew that he should not ask questions, so he kept silent and pretended not to know.
Mu Jin also thought of what Lu Tian was thinking. She gave Mu Bai some gold and silver in the package to thank him for waiting for her most of the night.
I am also grateful that he saw through it but did not say it out loud. Mu Jin likes people who know how to advance and retreat in moderation. For such people, the benefits they deserve will naturally not be less.
Lu Tian took the package from Mu Bai and accepted it without saying anything. It seemed that they already knew what he was thinking.
They have reached a tacit understanding
The next morning, the villagers gathered in a circle and sat together to eat bread. It was not appropriate to light a fire and cook at this time, as that would simply attract hatred.
Although it was very low-key, the chewing sound still made people around swallow their saliva unconsciously.
After dinner, everyone packed up and prepared to leave
Mu Jin stopped the village chief and told him his plan. The village chief didn't know what happened in the city and asked in confusion:
“Will this work?”
Mu Jin didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Then follow your plan."
The village chief quickly pulled everyone back and told them to be patient.
In the city, the county magistrate's office
The wife of the county magistrate beat the three housekeepers to death with a stick. Since they were all her children, she naturally had the right to beat and kill them. She put all the blame on Concubine Liu.
Concubine Liu was taken to the prison. No one would punish her according to the law for the time being, but the wife of the county magistrate would not let her off easily. She used all kinds of torture in the prison and finally tortured her to death.
Some people also mentioned the beauty who disappeared that night, and the two old women, one dead and one crazy, but they were silenced by the county magistrate's wife's glare.
The county magistrate has been relying on the prince for many years and has done many dirty things. Raping women is just one of his crimes.
The prince is still just the prince, after all, he is not a person in that high position. If there is any change in the middle, the prince will fall, and the county governor's office will bear the brunt of it. Killing nine generations of his family is not a light punishment.
Now an accident took the life of the county governor, but saved everyone in the county governor's mansion.
The wife of the county governor was very satisfied with the result and naturally would not pursue the sudden disappearance of Mu Jin and the two slaves.
Soon the county magistrate's funeral was underway. At this time, the new housekeeper came to report
"Madam, there is nothing left in our warehouse."
"What does this mean? What does it mean to have nothing?"
The county magistrate's wife, Zhao Ru, was dissatisfied.
