It turned out that these officers had already known what would happen tonight, but they did not expect that the people in the general's mansion did not die in the sea of ​​fire.

However, what Lin Congyun couldn’t understand was why Song Hongyi chose to do it himself?

Moreover, as the chief of the officials, with so many subordinates, why didn't he order them to do this?

At this time, Fang Deyu, Zhang Liucui and others also ran over.

"Mom, are you okay?" Fang Deyu hugged Lin Congyun.

Lin Congyun almost lost his balance and the two of them almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Nanny Bai was there to support Lin Congyun.

"I'm fine. Are your sister-in-law and the others okay?" Lin Congyun shook his head.

"It's okay. Fortunately, Butler Wu brought people here in time." Fang Deyu breathed a sigh of relief and then turned around to look around. "This...what's going on? Why did it suddenly catch fire?"

Fang Deyu had just finished saying this when she suddenly screamed and her face turned pale in an instant.

Not far away, Wan Niang was seen lying on the ground with blood flowing from her mouth.

Wu Jinjie hurried forward to check on Wan Niang's condition.

"She...what happened to her?" Fang Deyu's voice trembled.

Zhang Liucui and others quickly blindfolded the children.

"Ancestor, Wan Niang..." Wu Jinjie looked up at Lin Congyun.

"Dead?" Lin Congyun was a little bit unconvinced. The person who was fine just now was gone now.

Wu Jinjie nodded, "It should be poisoned."

Lin Congyun stared blankly at Wan Niang, who had lost her breath on the ground, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.

It's her own fault. Indeed, Wan Niang deserved this fate.

But no matter how to say it, Wan Niang was helping the officials and she was gone just like that. It still makes people feel that those officials were too cruel and ruthless.

"Ah..." Lin Congyun sighed, "This... this may be her fate."

"benefactor……"

This sound was particularly prominent in the darkness.

Feng Lieyang stumbled over from a distance, his face covered in dust and his body covered in blood. He panted, his voice revealing unspeakable fatigue and pain: "Benefactor, you are all right... That's great."

Seeing this, Lin Congyun's heart tightened, and he hurried forward to support Feng Lieyang: "What happened to you? How did you get hurt so badly?"

Feng Lieyang shook his head and forced himself to stand firm: "Those officers killed all the prisoners!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, not only Lin Congyun was shocked, but the people in the general's mansion nearby also showed expressions of disbelief.

"Are you sure?" Lin Congyun asked in disbelief.

"My benefactor, I saw it with my own eyes!" Feng Lieyang nodded and began to explain what happened.

It turned out that the police had woken up all the prisoners and said they were about to set off.

The prisoners looked at the dark sky, feeling confused, but since they were all prisoners, they had no choice but to follow whatever the officer said.

Feng Lieyang was even more confused. When they followed the officials out of the post station, Feng Lieyang discovered something was wrong.

Because he found that Song Hongyi, the leader of the officials, did not show up, and the people from the general's mansion did not follow him.

So, Feng Lieyang found an opportunity and hid.

Fortunately, he was more careful. Not long after he hid, he saw the officers killing all the prisoners.

Feng Lieyang's legs couldn't stop shaking when he saw this scene. He didn't understand why these officers wanted to kill all the prisoners.

At this moment, the post station behind Feng Lieyang was also burning with flames.

When the officials saw the post station on fire, they casually covered the bodies of all the prisoners and ran away in a hurry.

"This..." Lin Congyun's face turned pale and a chill rose in his heart.

She never imagined that the officers would be so cruel and kill all the prisoners.

"My benefactor, when I saw the post house on fire, I took the opportunity to run out from my hiding place. I ran back in a hurry, fearing that something had happened to you."

Feng Lieyang said this with a very excited look on his face.

"My benefactor, I'm so glad you're all right!"

When Lin Congyun heard Feng Lieyang's words, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

However, looking at the bloodstains on Feng Lieyang's body, he asked again: "Then what's the matter with your injuries?"

"This happened when I was running back. I was panicking and accidentally fell and scraped my hand."

Lin Congyun looked at Feng Lieyang's hands, which were covered in dust and blood, and quickly asked Wu Jinjie to help bandage them. Then he asked, "Which direction did those officials run to?"

Feng Lieyang pointed in a direction and said, "It's running in that direction."

Lin Congyun looked at the direction he pointed, which was exactly the direction they came from today.

In other words, the officers returned along the same route.

It seems that these officials have really made a good plan!

Kill all the other exiles first, and then burn the people in the general's mansion to death, so that they won't have to make such a tiring long journey to Bianyun Pass.

When they go back to report, they can say that everyone in the general's mansion died in an accident on the way, and they will not be held accountable even if they fail to complete their mission.

After all, when traveling long distances, unexpected things are always going to happen.

Moreover, they could lie about the number of people and embezzle the rations and travel expenses that were supposed to be given to the exiles.

In this way, the task assigned by the county magistrate was also completed.

Lin Congyun narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Damn these officials!

"Benefactor, what should we do now?" Feng Lieyang looked at Lin Congyun and asked.

Since you want the people in the General's Mansion to die, why not fake your own death?

Thinking of this, Lin Congyun immediately ordered Wu Jinjie to send someone to set the fire in the post station again.

Then he ordered Feng Lieyang to bring some guards from the general's mansion to transport all the bodies of the prisoners to the post station.

Everyone listened to Lin Congyun's instructions, and although they were confused, they immediately took action.

Soon, the guards of the general's mansion and Feng Lieyang transported all the bodies of the prisoners to the post station.

Then, Wu Jinjie brought people to pour kerosene in the post station and then lit it.

The fire, which was about to go out, began to burn fiercely again.

In the darkness of night, blazing fires lit up the sky around the post station, and the firelight reflected on the faces of Lin Congyun, casting a firm shadow.

She stared at the burning post station in front of her, already figuring out her next plan in her mind.

"Benefactor, what should we do next?" Feng Lieyang stood beside Lin Congyun, looking at the post station in the firelight, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"Let's pack up and continue heading to Bianyun Pass."
