After listening to Lin Yuxin's words, Gou Zi frowned and thought carefully, and then he opened his mouth for a long time:

"There's nothing different, but when he gave you food, he specifically told you to hide for a few days and not to come again. If you hear anything, don't come. When you ask him what he wants, he said he can help him."

"That uncle said he was going to catch the bad guys and I couldn't help him. But before he left, I heard him talking to another uncle about something in the northern border, something poisonous, something in the back mountain, and something like a traitor!"

Gouzi tilted his head and said thoughtfully.

Lin Yuxin's heart tightened. Northern Xinjiang, poison? Was it really a guinea pig poison?

[Even if it is related to Beijiang, where did all those people go? Where did those people who were poisoned by the snake go? This place has become an empty city. What is Beijiang going to do? Or did she miss some clues? ]

Lin Yuxin didn't say anything, she lowered her head and thought.

[The book said that the drought in Jebuk City would last for 꾉 months. 꾉 months later, the death toll in Jebuk City reached more than 10,000, nearly half of the population. When she read it, she was thinking, how serious is the drought? Even after the emperor sent people to rescue, more than 10,000 people died? ]

[Although there was also Prince Rō who interfered and benefited from it, it was incredible to think that there were more than 10,000 people. Now that I think about it, it seems that there is another hidden story. Someone used Prince Rō to achieve their own goals, but it was not written in the book.]

[However, this time she ruined the plan, making it impossible for Prince 꺘 to get involved in the North City, so they were desperate and started poisoning directly, starting from Quyan County. ]

[It has been more than two months now, and one county has already been affected, but the death toll is far from more than 10,000. It is still far from that. If they still need people, then where will the next step be? ]

[What exactly does the person behind this want to do? That group of people impersonated the orders of the higher-ups to distribute food, which shows that there are people above them. Who is it that actually used the orders of the higher-ups to achieve their own goals? ]

When Lin Yuxin thought about this, she could only have some clues temporarily. She had a hunch that the person behind the scenes might really continue to look for places to poison.

"Dog, do you know if there is anyone else in the whole county besides you?"

Lin Yuxin thought about it, then lowered her head and asked Gou Zi.

Gouzi looked at Lin Yuxin, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:

"Besides 놖 and my brother, there were some other children, all orphans. My uncle asked 놖 to hide them in advance. There were also some other people who were hidden by my uncle."

"Then do you know where the person is?"

Lin Yuxin asked again.

"I don't know, but I guess it's in the back mountain because I heard my uncle mention it more than once."

Gou Zi expressed his doubts. Somehow, although he was afraid of strangers, he felt very comfortable with this sister.

"Have you seen those bad guys?"

Lin Yuxin nodded after hearing this, then thought of the group of people who discovered their origins, and asked again.

"I saw them before when they were distributing rations, but I haven't seen them since my uncle disappeared. But they used to live in the county government office."

Gouzi told the truth.

[County government? Is this collusion with the government? Or has the county government also been tricked? ]

Lin Yuxin pondered for a moment, then looked up and said to Gouzi:

"Okay, Gouzi, thank you. Now you can take your brother and your friends to the city gate and find a place to hide and wait for us."

"Sister wants to go to the county government first, and then go to the back mountain to see if there are any clues. This brother will protect you."

Lin Yuxin said this while pointing at a subordinate behind her.

The dog looked at the man and nodded.

"good!"

"Xiaocheng, follow him, protect these children, and wait for us in the city."

Lin Yuxin gave instructions to Xiaocheng behind her.

"yes!"

Xiaocheng clasped his fists and saluted, then responded.

Afterwards, Gou Zi took Xiao Chengji and left first, while Lin Yuxin took Xueying and the others towards the county government office.

When they arrived at the county government office, the gate was closed. Lin Yuxin and Xueying looked at each other, and Xueying jumped into the county government office in a flash.

After a while, Xueying opened the door.

Lin Yuxin stepped in, looked around, and then said:

"Look around!"

Wang Yu took people to check around, and Lin Yuxin went straight to the study of the county government.

"Aiya!"

Lin Yuxin opened the door of the study, but there was no dust inside.

Lin Yuxin frowned. The county government office was all dusty, but this place was clean without any dust at all. Was anyone here?

"There's someone here!"

Lin Yuxin said with certainty.

Xueying also immediately moved closer to Lin Yuxin to provide close protection.

Lin Yuxin looked around cautiously, then walked towards the desk.

There was a painting lying on the desk, a landscape painting.

Lin Yuxin looked at the painting for a while, but always felt that something was wrong.

At this time, Wang Yu came back to report:

"Princess, there's no one in the county government office!"

"Impossible, there must be someone, but he is hiding. This county government office is covered in dust, but this place is so clean. Don't you think it's strange? Look carefully to see if there is any secret passage, and... go to the prison cell and check!"

Lin Yuxin frowned and said in denial, then asked Wang Yu to look for it again.

"yes!"

Wang Yu retreated.

Lin Yuxin looked at the painting again, unable to figure it out, so she raised her hand to put the painting away, held it in her hand, and while Xueying wasn't paying attention, she let it into the space.

[If you can’t figure it out, take it away. You’ll figure it out later.]

Then he looked elsewhere. Behind the desk was a mahogany bookshelf. There were not many books on it, only a few scattered ones, but there were many ornaments.

At first glance, there is nothing special about it, but there are no books in the study? What is the point of putting these useless decorations?

Lin Yuxin raised her hand and took each one down to have a look.

[These decorations are really colorful! There are vases, wood carvings, corals, and everything. The county master likes to be very colorful! ]

Lin Yuxin felt amused for a moment, but just as she finished laughing and was about to take a look at an inconspicuous brush ornament in the lower left corner, she found that the brush could not be taken down?

Lin Yuxin frowned, feeling something was a little strange. Writing brush ornaments were usually hung on wooden frames, and even if they were ornaments, the brush would still swing when hung on them.

The brush seemed to be fixed in place. Lin Yuxin wanted to take down the stand to have a look, but she couldn't take the stand down either.

Lin Yuxin felt something was wrong. There was something wrong with the decoration.

"Princess! What's wrong? Do you need help?"

Xueying saw that the princess had been squatting on the ground for a while and asked curiously.

"No, this thing is probably a trap. Let's try again."

Lin Yuxin waved her hand and said this, then lowered her head and began to study the ornament.

She turned the ornament to the left, but it didn't move? She turned it to the right, but it still didn't move!

What's going on? Isn't this a secret agency? She must be mistaken!

Lin Yuxin didn't give up and kept beating her drum for a while until she was sweating, but it was useless. It seemed that she was the one who was conspiring. How could there be so many secret passages in this world?
