At midnight, a figure appeared in the county government office like a ghost and went straight to the county government warehouse.

Unexpectedly, such a small county government office actually had no less than four warehouses, two of which were full of grain, and the remaining two were filled with gold, silver and jewelry looted from the gentry and wealthy.

Receive!

The county magistrate of Wanshou Town, under the governance of the Third Princess, was a cruel official. He took the opportunity of birthday celebrations to plunder the people's wealth. His subordinates followed suit and became even worse than the Third Princess.

Next to the county government office is the county magistrate's residence. Shen Lanxi sneaked in quietly and went straight to the county magistrate's ancestral hall.

"Master, there are gold bricks under the floor tiles!"

"There are also several white jade Guanyin statues and pure gold statues hidden behind the tablet!"

Receive!

These are the hard-earned money of the people, and we can’t let these parasites get away with it!

All the tables, chairs, benches, quilts, and silk fabrics were taken away, and all the food in the small kitchen was moved away. Nothing useful was left behind!

Even the potted plants in the yard were not left for these people.

Wherever Shen Lanxi passed, there was an empty space, and the main purpose was to harvest everything in a carpet-style manner!

All other places had been collected, leaving only the place where the county magistrate lived.

The county magistrate was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms. Shen Lanxi sneaked in quietly. A quarter of an hour later, she came out with a sneer and went straight to the guest room!

She hated traitors the most. Since the runner was the Third Princess's man, he should go underground and pledge his allegiance in advance!

The next morning, the city gates had just opened and the food vendors on the street were already shouting to attract customers.

"Sir, please buy some fried dough cakes. I can see that you are in a hurry. Fried dough cakes don't spoil easily. I also put chopped green onions and bacon in them. They are very tasty~"

"purchase!"

"Sir, please buy some meat buns. They are all made with freshly cut pork today. When you bite into them, your mouth will be full of oil..."

"purchase!"

"Sir, do you want to send some to Master Hu and the others?" Chunxue asked.

Shen Lanxi: "Look back!"

They were buying in the front, and Wei Dongzhu and the others were buying in the back. No one could tell when the next meal would be, so they cherished what they had now.

"I thought they had no money?"

Shen Lanxi smiled without saying anything. The things she had left for them were enough for Wei Dong and his group to live on for ten lifetimes!

After shopping a lot, we soon arrived at the city gate.

As soon as they paid the money and left the city, a group of soldiers came and closed the city gate.

"Did you hear that there was a thief in the county government office yesterday?"

"What thieves? I heard it was a ghost. The granddaughter of my uncle's neighbor's second wife worked as a maid for the county magistrate's concubine. According to her, the county government office and the county magistrate's residence were all emptied this morning. The county magistrate and his concubine lay naked on the ground all night..."

Not only that, this person knows too little. The county magistrate can only lie in bed for the rest of his life, and needs others to take care of his eating, drinking, defecating and urinating!

Death is too easy. Lying in bed and watching your life slowly fade away and your body rot is the most heartbreaking and the ultimate punishment!

After leaving the city, the group headed straight towards Tianjin!

Wei Dongzhu asked the soldiers to drive the mule cart faster and parallel to Shen Lanxi!

"Master Lan, let's chase them all the way. If the Third Princess's men set an ambush, we will still fall into their trap."

Shen Lanxi: "So I plan to hijack the team that's delivering the gifts!"

Wei Dongzhu was shocked, his eyes sparkled as he said, "We can disguise ourselves as soldiers delivering gifts!"

Shen Lanxi's brows brightened: "There is a big town a hundred miles southeast of Wanshou Town. Whether it is the soldiers escorting prisoners or the soldiers delivering gifts, they will come to Pan Heng in this town to rest and replenish supplies."

Wei Dongzhu's eyes lit up: "We'd better hurry up and pick a suitable one among the many soldiers who sent gifts!"

Shen Lanxi took out the map and threw it over to him, letting him look at it himself.

"Haruyuki, speed up!"

"Yes!"

The moment the map was thrown to him, Wei Dongzhu quickly got up and caught it with both hands.

He had seen this map before, so he knew its value very well. Even if he fell off the car, he couldn't let the map get dirty.

Ahead is Beiheng Town. According to their speed of advancement, and traveling day and night, they will arrive there within two days!

He finally understood why he was so sure that all the soldiers would be in Pan Heng, Beiheng Town, which was the only way to Tianjin.

And if what he guessed was correct, Liu Lao Hu and his men would also go to Beiheng.

They must seize the initiative before encountering the escort soldiers!

Looking at the mule which was still no match for the horse even at full speed, Wei Dongzhu began to regret why he did not switch to a horse carriage when leaving the city.

At this time, he finally realized that you can't have your cake and eat it too!

When it was the hottest, we took a break to prevent the mules from getting heat stroke.

The sound of an eagle was heard, and Xiaoxue came to deliver a letter.

Shen Lanxi first threw a piece of fish strips to it, then raised her left arm and let Xiaoxue stand on it!

There was a note in the letter barrel, which read: Good wind will help you soar into the sky!

He put the note away and stuffed another one in!

A low roar was heard from the Wei family army.

"What a big eagle! Who is this Mr. Lan?"

"It must be someone related to the Shen family."

"Bullshit, if I were to describe it, the Shen family is just straw bags, and he is the eagle in his hand. How can an eagle and a straw bag be compared?"

"Could it be that he was hired by the Shen family?"

"If you really hire someone, how much would it cost?"

It is now the hottest time of the year. The ground is so hot that your feet will burn if you walk barefoot on it. The hotter it is, the more severe the drought will be. The team led by Liu Lao Hu kept looking up at the scorching sun while taking a break.

"Luckily we ran fast!"

Even though there is no shortage of water now, they still cherish the water they drink.

"We have water to drink now. If it doesn't rain in the north, none of us will survive!"

Liu Yan looked back to the north. It was true that nine out of ten houses were empty. He hoped that the imperial court would send people to provide disaster relief as soon as possible, otherwise the Great Zhou would be in chaos.

When the eagle's cry was heard, Liu Yanhui immediately stood up.

Among the people he knew, there was only one person who kept such a ferocious bird!

Xiaoxue circled twice in the air and stopped on a dead tree stump far away!

Liu Lao Hu quickly found Liu Yan and replied, "Is this Mr. Lan's eagle?"

Liu Yan thought of a possibility, and immediately asked Mother Wang for a piece of dried meat, then walked over.

When Xiaoxue saw Liu Yan coming back, she shouted, folded her spread wings, and restrained her ferocity.

Seeing this, Liu Yanhui let out a sigh and walked over with big strides.

"Sir, do you have a letter for me?"

Xiaoxue looked at the dried meat in front of her, snorted, and turned her head away.

Liu Yanhui scratched his head awkwardly. Why did he feel like he was being disliked?

"Master Eagle, did I take the letter?"

Just as Liu Yanhui was about to stuff the dried meat into his mouth so that he could open the letter box with his hands, Xiaoxue slapped him on the head.

“Zha…”

Liu Yanhui was so frightened that his legs went limp. What did he do wrong? Did he offend Lord Ying?

Thinking of how she looked before being photographed, Liu Yanhui carefully presented the dried meat with both hands.

Xiaoxue opened her mouth and took it.

Liu Yanhui was amazed. An eagle could even be polite to him? What a divine eagle!
