"I do have something to do." Having made his decision, Li Hezhen became decisive. "Look, when are we leaving Wuzhou, and what can I do?"
"Brother Li, are you willing to help us?" Chu San raised his eyebrows.
Li Hezhen nodded and explained, "I saw you guys going out at night. I thought you were trying to figure something out, so I wanted to ask what the outcome was."
"My wife was cured by Sister Chu, so I should help you."
Chu San, upon hearing this, became blunt. "Okay, I'd also like to go to Governor Yang's office to see if there's anything suitable for removal. After all, when we leave, we have to prevent Governor Yang from finding out it was us and coming after us. It would be best if we could cut off his connection to the garrison."
"It's unrealistic to cut off contact, but I've come up with something that might solve this problem."
"We just need to get the tiger talisman that orders the garrison to be deployed. If Yang Zhizhou wants to deploy the garrison, without the tiger talisman, even if he has been in power in Wuzhou for a long time, he will be able to delay us for half a day."
"Half a day is enough for us to enter Yuzhou. I heard that the Yuzhou governor is relatively low-key and has a good relationship with Governor Yang."
"What do you mean?" Chu San was concerned when he heard the last sentence.
He was mainly concerned about his family leaving. Even if they took a carriage, they might not be faster than the garrison on horseback in the snow and ice. If they made a move, he had to be prepared to be exposed.
"The daughter of the Yuzhou prefect was once married into a local noble family in Wuzhou. However, she was bullied after the marriage. The Yuzhou prefect was certainly unhappy and wanted to seek revenge. However, Yang Zhizhou stepped in and stopped the Yuzhou prefect. He was clearly on the side of the noble family and thus successfully consolidated the power of Wuzhou. Although he was only a prefect in name, he actually controlled the garrison.
Chu San thought to himself, since they had to step on each other to get to the top, it was no wonder that their relationship broke down.
Chu San whispered the plan to Li Hezhen.
During the day, there was no movement except for the people of Willow Village and the caravan, who packed their luggage and were ready to leave at any time.
As night falls.
Zhou Jiaojiao calculated Shen Lin's space and found it was quite limited in size. She probably couldn't fit all the belongings of all the nobles. So she directly decided to move on to Yang Zhizhou and Tong Zhifu. They were not good people either, so she could take action against them without hesitation.
Night had just fallen.
Zhou Jiaojiao and Chu San brought Chen Lin and appeared quietly in the prefectural government.
After she and Chu San scouted the area in advance, they quickly reached the prefect's house and blew some incense into it. Soon, there were noises coming from inside, and it was estimated that there would be a nightlife.
She then took Shen Lin directly to the storehouse of the prefectural government and asked Shen Lin to empty out the valuable items inside.
After Chen Lin finished moving everything, she belatedly realized: Why are there only a few pieces of broken jade and no other jade ornaments?
Zhou Jiaojiao would not explain anything to her. Regardless of her doubts, she continued to take him away from the prefectural government and headed for the co-prefectural government.
The property of the co-magistrate is not as much as that of the magistrate.
But it is definitely not a small amount, especially the granary, which is even more sufficient than that of the prefectural government.
When Zhou Jiaojiao went to give the medicine, she found that the Tongzhi was enjoying a happy night life with several concubines in the mansion. She felt that the handful of medicine she had was unnecessary.
Maybe the other person is taking drugs!
No wonder there is not much money in the mansion. Maybe it is used to support the concubines in the backyard. As for food, he is smart enough to hide it directly. He is not afraid of not being able to feed a large courtyard when there is a food crisis.
"Let's go."
Chen Lin really couldn't help it this time, because from beginning to end, there were only a few broken jade pieces, and the rest were gold, silver and the like.
She subconsciously reached out to pull Zhou Jiaojiao.
Zhou Jiaojiao turned her head sharply to look at her.
"what are you up to?"
Shen Lin pointed to several other rooms, saying that she wanted to go in and empty them out.
Zhou Jiaojiao didn't give her this opportunity at all, "Don't you want to move?"
"Husband."
As soon as Zhou Jiaojiao finished speaking, Shen Lin was knocked unconscious by a knife before she could react.
Chu San glanced at her with disdain, reached out and lifted her up, holding Zhou Jiaojiao in one hand, and quickly left the Tongzhifu. After returning to the house, Zhou Jiaojiao handed the token stolen from the Zhizhoufu to Li Hezhen and said, "Brother Li, you take everyone and leave through the city gate with the token. After leaving, continue forward and don't linger. We will catch up when the time comes."
"good."
When Li Hezhen got the token, he knew that Zhou Jiaojiao and the others had succeeded. He didn't delay any longer and turned around and led his men to the city gate.
Zhou Jiaojiao gave Chu's mother and the others self-defense powder, and then left under the worried gaze of her family.
Since they were going to do something big this time, Zhou Jiaojiao decisively asked Chen Lin to put all the villagers and the luggage of the Li family caravan into the space from the beginning.
As a result, when Li Hezhen appeared at the city gate with the villagers and the caravan, wearing tattered clothes, he was immediately surrounded by several guards guarding the city.
"Stop, what are you doing?" The guard's voice was a little nervous. They were suddenly surrounded by hundreds of people, and they only had seven or eight people on patrol. No wonder they were afraid of something happening.
Li Hezhen deliberately revealed the brocade in his sleeves while taking out the letter he had sent to Yang Zhizhou. He then took out the token and said, "I am Lord Yang's nephew. Lord Yang asked me to leave the city in a low-key manner. Don't worry, I won't cause any disturbance among the refugees. I am only in a hurry to leave."
The guard at the city gate hesitated: "There are so many of you, but you don't have any luggage?"
"Lord Yang has already arranged for the luggage to be sent out of the city. We just need to leave. This is the household registration that Lord Yang has arranged for us." Li Hezhen was very calm throughout the whole process, and the evidence was solid.
The guard at the city gate was actually persuaded when he saw the token, and finally agreed to open a small door in the corner tower for them so that they could leave quietly.
Li Hezhen didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he walked out of the city gate. He didn't care about the refugees outside the city gate and could only take his people away quickly.
Compared with the smooth progress on Li Hezhen's side.
Zhou Jiaojiao and Chu San moved even slower.
Fortunately, perhaps because Yang Zhizhou trusted her too much, there were not many people on duty at the granary. After giving these people hallucinogenic drugs, he woke up Shen Lin and threatened her to move all the grain in the granary.
"As long as you move the granary, these gold, silver and jade artifacts will be yours." Zhou Jiaojiao said, pointing to the box in the corner.
When Chen Lin saw the jade in the box, her eyes lit up and she reached out to take it without hesitation. Zhou Jiaojiao knew that she had to touch it to receive it, so she naturally stopped her.
Chen Lin was a little angry, but in the end he could only lower his head, quickly collected all the grain in the granary, and quickly returned to his original position, preparing to put away the boxes containing gold, silver and jade.
Chu San knocked her out again with great precision, so that Shen Lin didn't realize that the jade artifact she had taken in was actually fake.
