The ancestor is here, she is here with space

As night fell, Lin Congyun had already planned how to transfer the food.

She cleverly avoided the eyes and ears of everyone in the post station under the pretext of going to the restroom, groped her way to a low wall in the dark, and easily climbed over it.

She did not go straight to Wu Jinjie, but chose a small forest outside the post station.

After entering the space and looking at the mountains of food in front of her, she felt a great sense of satisfaction in her heart.

These grains were exactly what she had obtained from the imperial palace and Zhao Tianqian's residence, and were enough to solve their current predicament.

Lin Congyun took out some food and carefully hid it in the woods, then returned to find Wu Jinjie.

With a confident light in her eyes, she told him softly, "The food problem has been solved."

When Wu Jinjie heard this, a gleam of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Grandfather, is it true?"

Lin Congyun nodded slightly with a faint smile on his face.

She brought Wu Jinjie and several guards to the grove. The mountains of food in front of them made Wu Jinjie so excited that he was almost speechless.

They quickly carried the food back to their camp.

Lin Congyun gave Wu Jinjie another 1,000 taels of silver notes and said, "Tomorrow you will take your people to Guangji Town to buy winter clothes."

Wu Jinjie took the banknote and was filled with excitement. He did not expect that his ancestor could solve the problem in one go.

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

In the evening of the next day, when Lin Congyun and others arrived at the Guangji County Post Station, Wu Jinjie arrived in advance with several guards.

Lin Congyun looked at the cart loaded with supplies behind them and nodded with satisfaction.

Once again, when it was night, Lin Congyun sneaked out of the inn alone while everyone was asleep.

Although Guangji County is not far away, the post station is located in a remote area, surrounded by rolling mountains, which like a natural barrier, isolating this place from the outside world.

Lin Congyun asked Wu Jinjie, it would take nearly half an hour to walk from here to Guangji County, and a quarter of an hour if riding a horse.

She was going to do something big, so it was not convenient for her to have anyone follow her, so she could only walk.

The night is as dark as ink, and the sky is full of stars.

Lin Congyun stood outside the post station, looked back at the quiet courtyard, and thought to himself that he should go early and come back early.

She was wearing dark clothes, trying not to stand out in the night.

She took a deep breath and set out on the road to Guangji County.

The mountain road was rugged, but Lin Congyun walked firmly and powerfully. After walking for about half an hour, Lin Congyun arrived at the gate of the county town.

She looked up and saw three big characters "Guangji County" hanging on the city gate, with the handwriting vigorous and powerful.

Fortunately, this is the county town and the city gate is not closed. There are two soldiers guarding the city taking a nap at the gate.

Lin Congyun walked over and coughed lightly.

The two soldiers were immediately awakened and saw that it was an old woman. One of them asked impatiently, "Do you want to enter the county town so late at night?"

Lin Congyun smiled slightly, took out a piece of silver from his bosom and handed it over, "Young man, I'm here to visit my relatives. I'm old and walk slowly, so I just arrived at this hour."

When the soldier saw the silver coins, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and his attitude immediately changed. "So you are here to visit relatives, old man, please go into the city quickly."

Lin Congyun nodded in thanks, walked through the city gate and entered Guangji County.

In the night, Guangji County looks very quiet.

Although it was not yet curfew, there were already few pedestrians on the street, with only a few sparse figures hurrying past under the dim lanterns.

Most of the shops on the street were closed, with only a few still brightly lit, looking particularly lonely.

Lin Congyun walked on the streets of Guangji County, observing the surrounding environment and looking for someone who could ask for directions to the county government.

After walking for a while, her eyes were attracted by a teahouse with lights on.

Lin Congyun smiled slightly and walked in.

The atmosphere in the teahouse was quiet, with only a few guests talking in low voices.

She chose a seat in a corner and ordered a cup of steaming hot fragrant tea.

The waiter at the teahouse quickly brought the hot tea to her.

Lin Congyun took a sip, and the warmth slowly spread in his heart, dispelling the chill of the night.

Just then, a middle-aged man dressed in yamen runner's clothes walked into the teahouse.

He looked around and then chose an empty seat to sit down.

Seeing this, the waiter hurried forward to greet him, "Sir, what would you like to order?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the waiter and said casually, "Bring me a pot of good tea and some snacks."

There was a hint of arrogance and disdain in his tone.

"Okay!" the waiter agreed and left quickly.

After the middle-aged man had eaten and drunk his fill, he stood up and left in a swagger.

As the waiter was clearing the table, he muttered in dissatisfaction, "Another freeloader."

Although his voice was small, it was loud enough for Lin Congyun to hear clearly. He came here to eat and drink for free. Are all the yamen runners in Guangji County so shameless?

However, since he knew that this was a yamen runner from Guangji County, Lin Congyun decided to step forward and follow him.

Lin Congyun followed the bailiff, his heart filled with anger. He had never seen such a shameless bailiff who openly ate and drank for free in front of the people, which simply ruined the reputation of the government.

But then she thought again, the magistrate of Guangji County even drove away the refugees, so he must not be a good person.

So if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beams will be crooked.

Lin Congyun watched the runner walk into the county government office, thinking to himself that it was a good thing that the runner was not going home, otherwise he would have followed him all the way in vain.

Lin Congyun watched the bailiff walk into the gate of the county government office. She cleverly took advantage of his carelessness and followed him in.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the county government office at that time, otherwise it would have been difficult for her to enter.

As the bailiff was walking in front, he always felt as if someone was following him. He turned back suddenly, but saw only an empty place with no one there.

"Am I overthinking it?" He said to himself, shaking his head.

Lin Congyun dodged in time and instantly escaped into her space, avoiding the sight of the yamen runners.

When he moved forward again, she quietly appeared from space and continued to follow him.

The yamen runners walked through the county government office in twists and turns and finally came to the backyard.

It seems that he is going to meet the county magistrate.

Lin Congyun followed him carefully, not daring to be careless at all.

The yamen runner soon arrived at the county magistrate's study. He knocked twice on the door, and a few coughs were heard from inside. Then the door was pushed open and he walked in.

"Sir!" The bailiff saluted respectfully.

"Yeah." The man sitting behind the desk nodded, flipping through a book in his hand, "Have you figured out what happened?"
