The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Lin Congyun also asked Wu Jinjie to confirm whether all their people had entered the cave to take shelter from the rain.

Before Wu Jinjie finished counting the number of people, he heard the officers say that two people seemed to be missing.

Just as everyone was still wondering whether the two men were washed away by the mountain torrent or ran away in the chaos.

Wu Jinjie also came over, "Grandfather, our people are all here. However, I heard from the officials that the two people missing are Zhao Tianqian and Zhao Heshi."

When Lin Congyun heard the news that Zhao Tianqian and Zhao Heshi were missing, he frowned and asked again, "Did they run away?"

"I'm not sure about that, but I heard from the officer that when they were walking up the mountain just now, Zhao Heshi was begging the officer to help carry Zhao Tianqian up."

Wu Jinjie said, and looked at the rain outside the cave, which was still falling. "I guess even if I want to run, I can't run far."

Lin Congyun nodded slightly. She looked at the heavy rain outside the cave and felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Zhao Tianqian had been tortured and his wounds had not yet healed. If they relied on Zhao Heshi alone, it would be impossible for the two of them to take the opportunity to escape.

However, with such heavy rain, it is very likely that the two slipped down the mountain while climbing up.

At this time, Song Hongyi was very panicked. After all, this was a prisoner that the county magistrate was going to send over. He didn't expect that he would disappear on the first day.

Song Hongyi quickly arranged for people to go out and look for him, for he was afraid that he would be blamed by his superiors and would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Outside the cave, the shouts of the officers searching in the rain were intermittent. Inside the cave, a fire had been lit and everyone gathered around it to keep warm.

After an unknown amount of time, there were hurried footsteps outside the cave, accompanied by the exclamations of the officers.

Everyone's heart tightened. Could it be that there was news about Zhao Tianqian and Zhao Heshi?

Everyone stood up hurriedly and looked towards the cave entrance.

I saw several officers running back, soaking wet and in a mess, with looks of fear on their faces.

"Boss, it's bad! We found a dead body at the foot of the mountain. Judging from the clothes, it looks like Zhao He!" one of the officers said breathlessly.

"What? Zhao He is dead?" Song Hongyi exclaimed, his face turning pale in an instant.

Lin Congyun was also surprised. Zhao Heshi was dead? What about Zhao Tianqian?

"Where is the body?" Song Hongyi asked hurriedly.

One of the officers pointed outside the cave and said, "We carried the body up and placed it outside."

Song Hongyi followed several officials and hurried out.

Lin Congyun also followed behind and went over to see what was going on.

When he reached the entrance of the cave, Lin Congyun took a closer look and was stunned. The body was indeed Zhao He's, but her eyes were wide open, obviously she died with her eyes open!

"This...what's going on? Why was Zhao He killed?" Song Hongyi said in shock.

One of the officers said helplessly: "We don't know either. When we arrived, Zhao He was already dead."

"Have you found any suspicious clues?" Song Hongyi asked.

The officers looked at each other, and one of them shook his head, "No, we didn't find anything at the scene except Zhao He's body.

"What about Zhao Tianqian?" Song Hongyi thought that two people were missing, so what about the other one?

"Zhao Tianqian? We didn't find any trace of him." the officer replied.

Lin Congyun stood at the entrance of the cave and listened to the words of the officer, feeling confused.

Zhao Heshi died and Zhao Tianqian disappeared again. What on earth is going on?

Song Hongyi also shouted angrily at this time: "We didn't find any trace of Zhao Tianqian. Why did you come back? Why don't you continue to look for him?"

The officers were embarrassed by Song Hongyi's yelling, but they still answered bravely: "Sir Song, we have searched the area and found no trace of Zhao Tianqian. He may have escaped."

"Escaped? Where would he go?" Song Hongyi frowned, looking puzzled. "He is injured, where can he escape to?"

Song Hongyi's words made everyone present fall into deep thought.

Yes, Zhao Tianqian was injured, where could he escape to?

Lin Congyun felt uneasy, she always felt that this matter was not that simple.

Zhao He's death was too strange, and Zhao Tianqian's disappearance was too bizarre.

All of this seems to hide some unknown secrets.

However, all this did not have much impact on Lin Congyun, except for feeling a little uneasy and strange.

He just watched Song Hongyi send officers out to find the whereabouts of Zhao Tianqian.

But at night, when the officials came back one after another, they all shook their heads and said that they had not found it.

Song Hongyi lowered his head and sighed, as if he had accepted this fact.

The exile team stayed in the cave for a night. The next morning, although the rain outside had eased a little, they didn't know whether they could set out on the journey.

And I don’t know how Song Hongyi arranged it?

They just asked everyone to stay in the cave and not to move around without their permission.

Lin Congyun discovered that there were several officials who were not in the cave.

I wonder if he was sent by Song Hongyi to find the whereabouts of Zhao Tianqian, or if he was sent to do other things?

Since there was no need to rush, Lin Congyun took Fang Deyu and a few others and started packing up the things they had moved.

Last night, Wu Jinjie and several guards ran down the mountain while the rain was light and moved all the things on the carriage and cart up.

Some things were completely soaked, but fortunately they rescued them in time, so some rice, flour, oil and non-perishable dry food did not suffer too much damage.

As there were too many things to fit inside the cave, Wu Jinjie and the guards built a simple shed outside the cave and placed all the things underneath it.

Just as Lin Congyun and others were busy, an official came running back in a hurry, his face full of anxiety.

"Boss, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!" The officer ran up to Song Hongyi breathlessly, his face full of panic.

Song Hongyi was staring at the rain outside the cave. He turned around and asked with a frown, "What's the matter?"

The officer swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "The county magistrate asked you to go there in person."

Lin Congyun, who was standing not far away, realized after hearing this that the officials who were not in the cave were not out to look for Zhao Tianqian, but were going to Changhan County to ask the county governor for help.

Went to report the situation.

Lin Congyun couldn't help but glance at Song Hongyi, but found that his face also looked ugly.

Song Hongyi said in a deep voice: "Did the county governor say what the matter is?"

The officer shook his head and said, "I don't know. The county magistrate just asked me to inform you and ask you to go there in person."
