All the places that could be searched in the hut were searched, except for the shoes of Song Hongyi and the officers.

Lin Congyun squatted down and checked the shoes of Song Hongyi and several officials one by one.

These shoes were so stained with dust and sweat from long walks that their original color was almost unrecognizable.

She carefully lifted the insole and pinched the sole with her hands, trying to find it out.

Suddenly, an indescribable smell rushed into her nostrils, and Lin Congyun couldn't help but frowned.

The smell is like rotten grass mixed with damp soil, making people want to cover their mouths and noses.

Just when Lin Congyun was almost nauseated by the smell, her fingertips suddenly touched something hard.

She carefully felt along the edge of the hard object, and with a little force, she took the hard object out of the shoe.

In the moonlight, Lin Congyun looked at what was taken out of the shoe. It was a ball of crumpled paper.

She gently unfolded the piece of paper and saw that it was covered with densely written words. Although the handwriting was a little blurred due to long-term folding and wear, she could still vaguely make out the content.

Lin Congyun's heart sank suddenly. The content on the paper was that Song Hongyi had killed all the people in the General's Mansion without anyone knowing.

Under the moonlight, Lin Congyun's face turned pale, and the paper in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

She took a deep breath to calm down her shock.

She carefully put the paper ball back where it came from, trying not to leave any trace.

Then she stood up, gathered herself together, and quietly left the cabin.

Back in the carriage, Nanny Bai also woke up, "Grandfather, where have you been?"

Lin Congyun said softly: "I feel a little stuffy, so I went out to get some fresh air."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Bai looked at her worriedly and said, "Grandma, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Congyun shook his head and forced a smile: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

Her heart was in turmoil and it was difficult to calm down.

The contents of that paper must not be known to anyone, but there are so many people in the general's mansion, it would be troublesome if someone was left alone.

Otherwise, they could just deal with Song Hongyi and other officials directly. However, they were sent by the imperial court. If they were dealt with rashly, it would not only bring more troubles, but it might also cause that dog emperor to send people again.

Dog Emperor?

Thinking of this, Lin Congyun thought about it subconsciously again.

Why would this dog emperor suddenly issue a secret order to execute everyone in their general's mansion?

That's a bit unusual!

wrong!

If the paper ball was given to Song Hongyi by County Magistrate Lord Zhong, is it possible that the content on the paper ball was not what the Dog Emperor meant?

Lin Congyun immediately had some guesses in his mind.

If this was really the dog emperor's intention, he could just issue an order and execute all the people in the general's mansion.

Why let Lord Zhong, the county magistrate, be the messenger?

Lin Congyun became more and more confused as she pondered over the various possibilities.

Is it possible that someone else is manipulating this from behind?

Want to use the dog emperor to get rid of the general's mansion?

Lin Congyun shook his head again and temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

Now, the most important thing is Song Hongyi and others.

She had to come up with a foolproof plan to ensure the safety of everyone in the general's mansion.

Lin Congyun glanced at the small house of Song Hongyi and others not far away, thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.

If you take direct action, although you can relieve your hatred temporarily, the consequences will be unimaginable.

She had to come up with a way to preserve the general's mansion and avoid more trouble.

Aunt Bai, who was standing by, looked at Lin Congyun's uncertain expression and asked worriedly, "Grandfather, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, just thinking about something." Lin Congyun sighed lightly, retracted his thoughts, turned around and looked at Nanny Bai, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

Since I can’t think of any good solutions now, I might as well have a good night’s sleep. Maybe when I wake up tomorrow morning, I’ll come up with a good idea.

Early the next morning, Lin Congyun was awakened by the noise outside.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, glanced at Zhang Liucui beside her, and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Zhang Liucui shook her head. "Mom, I just woke up too. I don't know what happened outside."

"Let's go and take a look." Lin Congyun said, then he stood up, put on his clothes, and got off the carriage.

Nanny Bai, who was standing next to the carriage, saw Lin Congyun was about to get off, and hurried forward to support her.

"Grandpa, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Lin Congyun frowned slightly and looked into the distance, only to see a group of people gathered there, seemingly arguing about something.

"Let's go and take a look." She said, and led Nanny Bai and several daughters-in-law over there.

Just as Lin Congyun was leading everyone towards that direction, they suddenly heard a shrill scream, and then saw a ragged woman rushing out from the crowd and running towards them.

The woman's hair was disheveled and her face was covered with tears. She was obviously extremely frightened.

As she ran, she shouted, "Help! Help!"

Seeing this, Lin Congyun, Nanny Bai and others immediately became alert.

At this time, Fang Deyu whispered in Lin Congyun's ear: "Isn't that woman Zhao Tianqian's concubine?"

Lin Congyun was stunned. After a closer look, he found that the woman was indeed Zhao Tianqian's concubine, Wan Niang.

"What's wrong with her?" Lin Congyun looked at Wu Jinjie who was walking over and asked quickly.

Wu Jinjie saluted quickly, "Grandfather, it seems that woman is crazy."

When Lin Congyun heard this, his brows furrowed.

Is Zhao Tianqian's concubine crazy?

what on earth is it?

She turned to look at Nanny Bai, who also looked puzzled and shook her head.

Just when the two were confused, Wan Niang had already rushed in front of them.

She looked frantic, her eyes were red, and she seemed to have lost her mind.

"Ancestor, be careful!" Nanny Bai and Wu Jinjie exclaimed almost at the same time. They quickly stood in front of Lin Congyun and protected her tightly.

However, they did not expect that Wan Niang had a sharp dagger in her hand. She raised the dagger and stabbed Lin Congyun fiercely.

Wu Jinjie stepped forward and tried to stop Wan Niang's behavior.

However, Wan Niang seemed to have lost her mind. There was only Lin Congyun in her eyes, and the dagger in her hand stabbed straight forward.

Lin Congyun quickly pulled Wu Jinjie aside and kicked the dagger out of Wan Niang's hand.

"Ah!" Wan Niang let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground. The dagger drew a sharp arc in the air and finally fell to the ground.

Lin Congyun looked at Wan Niang, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Why did this woman suddenly go crazy and try to assassinate me?
