"Take this silver. Now I'll trouble you to walk back to Sanshui Town and buy a new carriage to return to Linzhou Prefecture. This one hundred taels of silver is for your carriage."
As he spoke, Bei Yutang took out another silver note with a face value of one hundred taels.
"This hundred taels is your reward for your hard work."
Driver Zhang was confused and asked, "Madam, what about you?"
"We'll travel on our own for the rest of the journey. Also, if anyone asks about our whereabouts, just say we took your carriage from Stone Forest Town. We were headed to another destination, and we were taking a different route, so we separated."
"Do you remember what I said?" Bei Yutang asked.
Driver Zhang now realized the seriousness of the problem and nodded repeatedly, "I'll remember that."
Bei Yutang handed him two hundred taels of silver and said, "Goodbye again."
"Madam, young master, please be careful on the road." Coachman Zhang said, holding the silver in his pocket.
Bei Yutang nodded and drove away in the carriage.
When she reached the fork in the road, she drove in the opposite direction of Linzhou Prefecture.
I hope this will help me shake off the pursuers behind me, and I hope even more that my guess is wrong, but this hope is very slim.
The atmosphere on the way here was relaxed, but on the way back it was extremely solemn.
Xiao Moer didn't want to stay in the car, so he lifted the curtain and sat next to Bei Yutang.
"Is Mo'er afraid?" Bei Yutang asked with his head tilted.
Little Mo'er shook his head, "As long as mother is here, Mo'er is not afraid."
Bei Yutang smiled slightly, "If you encounter an ambush, you must protect yourself, understand?"
Bei Yutang had already made several preparations, waiting to see how capable the other party was. If they saw through her intentions, they would definitely catch up quickly. If they didn't, then they would be safe.
An hour later, a group of men in black appeared at the rouge shop under the Lei's Trading Company in Sanshui Town.
"Where are they?" asked the masked man in black who was leading the group.
Shopkeeper Lin replied respectfully, "They've already left."
"Gone?" The masked man's voice suddenly rose, scaring Shopkeeper Lin so much that his face turned pale and fear appeared in his eyes.
"Didn't I ask you to hold them back?" the masked man asked coldly.
Shopkeeper Lin cried out in injustice, "I've tried my best to hold them back, but they issued an ultimatum. I have no other choice. It's not that I don't want to stay, but I can't."
The masked man didn't bother to pay attention to his rambling, "How long have they been gone?"
"About an hour."
"Do you know which direction to go?"
Manager Lin didn't dare to send anyone to watch them, so he took pictures to make them aware of it. He bribed the waiter at the inn where they were staying to monitor their every move.
"It's heading east."
After receiving the confirmed information, the masked man threw a heavy package to him and said, "This is a reward from the young master. From now on, as long as you work for the young master, you will definitely get some benefits."
Shopkeeper Lin nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes."
The masked man and the rest of his men ran towards the east.
After watching them leave, Shopkeeper Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He happily lowered his head to open the package and saw a bunch of golden ingots inside. His eyes suddenly lit up.
Just as he picked up one of the ingots, suddenly, a flying sword passed through his neck. With a "puff", blood gushed out from his neck.
