The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Chapter 109: Encountering the Officials Again

"This fire looks pretty big, I don't know if anyone is injured."

"With such a big fire, if people can survive, it must be the blessing of Buddha."

Song Hongyi felt a little relieved when listening to the discussions outside.

He looked around, trying to find some clues to see if the fire really killed Lin Congyun.

However, the post station was burned down like this and there were no clues to be found.

After all, last night, Lin Congyun took out the best kerosene from the space and asked Wu Jinjie to add fuel to the fire at the post station.

Unexpectedly, the kerosene was so powerful that the bodies of the prisoners killed by the officials were almost burned to ashes.

Of course, the officials in charge of the post station naturally knew about the commotion at the post station.

Song Hongyi greeted the officials with a stiff smile, and then followed them to check the conditions of the post station.

The final conclusion was that everyone inside was burned to death.

Song Hongyi thought to herself that even if Lin Congyun was not burned to death and everyone else in the general's mansion was buried in the fire, then she, an old woman, would not be able to cause any trouble.

Besides, he had burned the identity documents of everyone in the general's mansion. Even if she could escape from the fire, she would have nowhere to go. Besides, why could he be afraid of an old woman with no power or influence?

Song Hongyi followed behind the officers, looking heavy-hearted, but saying words of comfort: "Commissioners, thank you for your hard work. The fire was so big and happened in the middle of the night... Alas, I didn't expect something like this to happen. It's really heartbreaking."

The officers were just doing their routine work, and after a thorough investigation, they saw that there were indeed no survivors, so they ordered their men to pack up and left the post station.

Song Hongyi looked at the officers' receding backs, and the smile on his face gradually turned gloomy.

He turned around and looked at the post station that had been burned into ruins, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"This can be considered as mission accomplished!"

After muttering to himself, he left the post station and set out for Changhan County.

-------------------------------------

The last ray of setting sun in the sky was swallowed by dark clouds. Lin Congyun, sitting in the carriage, looked at the distant place that was about to fall into darkness. It seemed that he would have to sleep outdoors again today.

She called Wu Jinjie and said softly, "Housekeeper, let's find a flat place to camp."

Wu Jinjie looked up at the sky and replied, "Yes, ancestor."

He turned around and whispered a few words to the guards behind him. Not long after they went, the carriage slowly stopped.

Lin Congyun got off the carriage and looked around.

This is a barren grassland, overgrown with weeds, looking desolate and lonely.

In the distance, several low hills are looming, standing there quietly.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing the coming wind and rain.

"Grandfather, please take a rest first. I will go and arrange the camping arrangements." Wu Jinjie walked forward and said respectfully.

Lin Congyun nodded gently and walked to a big rock to sit down. Fang Deyu followed closely behind and hurriedly handed over the cloak that had been prepared long ago, "Mom, please put it on. It's windy here."

Lin Congyun took the cloak and wrapped it around himself, "Xiaoyu, I'm not in the way. Go help your sister-in-law."

Fang Deyu responded and turned to walk towards Zhang Liucui and Zeng Xiaoyu.

As night falls, smoke rises from cooking fires.

Lin Congyun sat in the tent with a bowl of steaming porridge in front of him.

She picked up the bowl, blew on it gently, and then drank it slowly.

Outside the tent, Zhang Liucui and Zeng Xiaoyu were busy packing their luggage and bedding, while Fang Deyu was helping them.

"Mom, please try this." Fang Deyu walked in with a plate of side dishes and placed it on the small table in front of Lin Congyun.

Lin Congyun looked up and saw the concern on Fang Deyu's face, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

She smiled slightly, picked up a piece of dish with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, savoring it carefully.

"Yeah, not bad." Lin Congyun nodded and praised, "You have worked hard."

Zhang Liucui and Zeng Xiaoyu both smiled when they heard this.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves broke the silence.

Wu Jinjie walked into the tent quickly, with a serious look on his face, "Ancestor, there is something wrong."

Lin Congyun put down the chopsticks in his hand, frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"

"A group of people are coming towards us. They look like government officials." Wu Jinjie said in a low voice.

When Lin Congyun heard this, a trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes. She stood up, walked out of the tent, and looked into the distance.

In the darkness of the night, one could vaguely see flickering fires in the distance, which were getting closer and closer with the sound of horse hooves and noise.

She turned to Wu Jinjie and instructed, "Let everyone be prepared. Don't act rashly or panic. Remember who we are now."

Wu Jinjie nodded in agreement and left quickly.

Not long after, a group of soldiers arrived in front of the camp. They held torches and illuminated the entire meadow.

The leader was a middle-aged man in official uniform. He looked around the camp in front of him and his eyes fell on Wu Jinjie.

"Who are you? Why are you camping here?" asked the man in official uniform, with a bit of majesty in his voice.

Wu Jinjie stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, we are just passing by here. As it is getting late, we are resting here."

The man in official uniform raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he did not completely believe Wu Jinjie's answer, and continued to look at everyone in the camp.

After a while, the man in official uniform turned around and ordered the officers and soldiers behind him: "Go and search around to see if there is anything suspicious."

The officers and soldiers responded and began searching around the camp.

Just as the officers and soldiers were searching everywhere, the sky suddenly became gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if they were going to swallow up the entire earth.

The man in official uniform frowned. He didn't want to stay in such weather any longer. It was because he was ordered to do his job.

"Look at the weather, it seems like it's going to rain." Wu Jinjie looked up at the sky, feeling a little uneasy.

As soon as he finished speaking, it started to rain heavily.

The raindrops fell like beans, soaking the ground in an instant, and the entire camp was submerged in a mist.

Lin Congyun stood at the entrance of the tent, looking at the officials who were hurriedly hiding from the rain, and said to Wu Jinjie: "Butler, please let the officials go into the tent to hide from the rain, and then go and find out what these officials want to search for. Remember, be careful and don't arouse their suspicion."

Wu Jinjie nodded in agreement, turned around and walked towards the officials, with a smile on his face, and said, "Gentlemen, please go into the tents and hide from the rain. Otherwise, you will get soaked and what will happen."

Having said that, he led the officers into the tent.
