The entire village of Yanjiazhuang was now completely surrounded by Qin soldiers.
Fan Zeng climbed out of the house, peeked up, and was spotted by someone beforehand.
"Someone's trying to escape? Quick, fire the arrows!"
"Swish swish swish!"
"Oh no, these are crossbow bolts from the army!"
He immediately realized that the officers and soldiers outside were not ordinary officers and soldiers, but well-trained professional soldiers!
Fortunately, the snowy night was a vast expanse of white, and the clothes he was wearing were also white.
Using his color as cover, he dodged multiple volleys of arrows and escaped back.
"No, forcing our way out like this is not the way to go. Right, when we came here, I found a place where we could hide people. If we hide there, they will never find us. We can wait until they leave before we leave and report back."
Fan Zeng is Fan Zeng.
Although he was old, he was by no means a reckless person. He had learned some martial arts skills since childhood and they were still quite good. If he were twenty or thirty years younger, he might have been able to break out of there.
"Hehe, as expected, the stable is covered with a lot of dry grass. I'll hide under the dry grass, and they won't be able to find me."
He immediately suppressed the stench of horse urine and wrapped himself tightly in dry grass.
No matter how pungent the smell was, he endured it.
Just then, Li Lin walked up behind him, glanced at the stable, and couldn't help but let out a cold smile...
hall.
The soldiers had kicked down all the gatehouses and dragged hundreds of people from Yanjiazhuang into the living room, including Li Lin and others.
"Sir, sir, what are you doing? I'm a law-abiding citizen!"
"Yes, yes, we haven't done anything to betray the Great Qin."
"Hmph, do you think you can just say you don't have it and then you don't?"
The middle-aged man who was leisurely sipping tea suddenly opened his eyes and glared fiercely at the group of people.
"My lord, my lord, you are the governor of Nanjun, this place is not under your jurisdiction!"
"Smack!"
He suddenly stood up and slapped Yan Hong hard across the face, cursing, "Damn it, I am an official appointed by the imperial court. Am I not qualified to deal with you lowly commoners? As for the Nanjun prefecture? Hehehe, your prefect here is also a good friend of mine. I am ordered to arrest the rebels in Chu. Do you dare to have any objections?"
"Father, Father!"
Yingbu hurriedly held the unconscious Yan Hong in his arms and shook him violently.
That's when he was shaken awake. "Son, don't be impulsive. They are officials, and we are just ordinary people. We can't afford to offend them!"
"Damn it, Father! Why should we have to suffer their humiliation!"
"My son, quickly, quickly, let Lord Li speak a fair word for us..."
"Father, Father!"
"Nephew, the third brother has passed out, but he is not in any danger."
Several elderly people around helped Yan Hong up, checked his breathing, and found that he was not seriously injured. It was just that he was old and weak, and any bump or bruise was a hurdle for him.
"Sir, we've apprehended a suspicious person!"
"Oh? Where is he now?"
"Stop looking, I'm right in front of you. I just saw your imposing side!"
Meng Dao's eyes lit up. He didn't know Li Lin, nor did he know what official position he held.
He just received a mission from above, ordering him to intercept people heading towards Xianyang.
"You're a rebel from Chu, aren't you?"
"Good heavens, Lord Meng! You've already put a huge accusation on me right off the bat."
Li Lin was in no hurry to reveal his identity because he didn't know what Meng Dao's purpose was.
The others around him were going to call him directly.
But he rejected her with just a look.
What an intelligent man Yingbu was!
He quickly realized that he couldn't reveal his identity at this time, as this group of people were very likely after him.
So, I talked to some people from my own clan.
"Then who are you? Why are you here in Yanjiazhuang at this time? I seem to remember that you are not from Yanjiazhuang, are you?"
"good."
"Are those dozen or so horses and the carriage outside yours?"
"Um!"
"Are those men in military uniforms your bodyguards?"
"You're absolutely right, but what does that mean?"
"Hehehe, even now you still dare to deny it. You are the Chu rebels heading to Xianyang. Otherwise, who would travel at such a speed in such freezing weather? Hmm? Tell me, what ulterior motive do you have for going to Xianyang?"
Meng Dao's eyes were sharp, and his square face was filled with righteous indignation, as if at this moment, he was the embodiment of absolute justice.
"I don't want to tell you that, according to the Qin Law, a prefect in one place is not qualified to interrogate other people without proper written authorization from his superior. Therefore, I have no obligation to tell you!"
"How dare you! I asked you questions politely, yet you repeatedly evaded them. Guards, take him out and execute him!"
"promise!"
"Wait a minute, do you really not know the laws of Qin? Are you really going to let this prefect act with impunity?"
Li Lin's emotions were very stable.
He knew.
Being too hasty now could cost you your life.
What if this group of people came specifically to kill him, and he would be hacked to death as soon as he revealed his identity?
