The man in official uniform seemed to be shocked by Lin Congyun's momentum. He was stunned for a moment, then angrily said: "Humph, a passerby? Who do you think you are? How dare you come to meddle in our official affairs? These lowly people, if they die, they die. What's the big deal?"

"As government officials, you are supposed to protect the people and get rid of harm. But now you are so cold-hearted and indifferent. It's really chilling!" Lin Congyun shouted angrily.

"You!" The man in official uniform blushed at what Lin Congyun said, but he couldn't find any words to refute.

Seeing this, the people around cast grateful glances at Lin Congyun.

"Thank you, old lady, for your righteous words. We, the poor people, are truly grateful." The middle-aged woman said, wiping her tears.

At this time, Song Hongyi and other officials also came out. When they saw the man in official uniform, they hurried forward, bowed and nodded to salute him.

"Sir Ding, what brings you here?" Song Hongyi said with an apologetic smile.

The man in official uniform called Lord Ding ignored Song Hongyi and looked at Lin Congyun, "Who is this old woman?"

Song Hongyi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Lord Ding would ask this.

He hurriedly took two steps forward, "She is from the General's Mansion..."

"The General's Mansion?" Lord Ding turned around and looked at Song Hongyi after hearing this. "Is it the General's Mansion that was confiscated and exiled?"

Song Hongyi nodded repeatedly, "That's right!"

Lord Ding frowned with a look of disdain. The exiled man actually dared to interfere in his affairs.

He glanced at Lin Congyun and shouted coldly: "Humph, a criminal who was confiscated and exiled dares to meddle in other people's business here!"

Seeing this, the people around lowered their heads and dared not speak. However, Lin Congyun remained unmoved. She looked at Lord Ding in front of her calmly, without any fear on her face.

"Sir, the exiles are also the people of Dachuan. Can't they speak?" Although Lin Congyun's voice was not loud, it carried a firm strength.

Lord Ding was stunned by what she said, and then his expression became even uglier, "Humph, you are a sinner, what qualifications do you have to argue with me!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves in the distance, accompanied by flying dust, and a group of cavalry came quickly.

The leader was wearing armor, holding a horse whip, and had a serious expression.

"Sir Ding, the county governor wants to see you. Go to the county governor's mansion immediately!" the cavalry shouted.

Upon hearing this, Lord Ding did not dare to delay in the slightest. He mounted his horse and galloped away with the personal soldiers of the county magistrate's mansion.

Lin Congyun looked at Lord Ding's departing back and secretly made a note of this man in his heart.

When the people around saw Lord Ding leaving, they gathered around and expressed their gratitude to Lin Congyun.

Lin Congyun smiled and waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite. He told Wu Jinjie to take out some dry food and distribute it to everyone, then returned to the post station.

As the night deepened, Lin Congyun lay in the simple room of the post station, thinking about Lord Ding's arrogance and disdain, which made her deeply angry.

As an official, how can you be so disrespectful to the people?

Lin Congyun decided that she would investigate the county magistrate's mansion to find out what kind of person Lord Ding was and how he could be so arrogant.

She changed into her nightgown and quietly left the inn.

He took out a horse from the space, rode it and headed towards Changhan County.

Fortunately, the post station was not far from Changhan County, and they arrived at the city gate of Changhan County in less than half a quarter of an hour.

At this time, it was already curfew time and the city gates must have been closed.

In the darkness of night, Lin Congyun stared at the tightly closed gate of Changhan County. She knew that it would not be easy to enter the city quietly.

Just as she was thinking about countermeasures, the sound of horse hooves came from afar, breaking the silence of the night.

Lin Congyun quickly hid in the darkness nearby, only to see a group of people galloping towards them. The leader was wearing armor and had a solemn expression.

Lin Congyun's heart moved, this group of people might be her chance to enter the city.

She followed them quietly, and when they approached the city gate, she suddenly grabbed the cart behind them and then flashed into the space.

As soon as I entered the space, I heard the bandits who were plowing the land talking.

“This place is a little weird!”

Another bandit was also muttering: "That's right, this place feels like it's always daytime, and there's no night."

"Yes, yes, yes! The sun is not even clearly visible, and I don't even know what time it is now."

Lin Congyun, who was in the space hut, felt something in his heart when he heard this.

She did notice some peculiarities about this space, such as the fact that it seemed unaffected by the time of the outside world and always remained bright, as if it was always daytime.

Moreover, the climate in the space is very pleasant, neither cold nor hot, as if it were spring all year round.

It would be great if this space could be divided into day and night, so that these bandits and officials wouldn't have any wild thoughts in there.

Just as I thought of this, the space suddenly became darker.

She looked up and saw that the space, which was originally as bright as day, was now slowly beginning to dim, as if the sun was setting and night was falling.

Lin Congyun was surprised that this space could actually change day and night according to her thoughts.

The bandits and officials in the space also noticed this change. They looked around in panic and talked about it.

"What's going on? Why did it suddenly get dark?"

"Is there some demon causing trouble?"

Everyone was talking about it, their hearts filled with fear and anxiety.

Lin Congyun came out of the hut and shouted, "What are you doing?"

Ergou and Sanniu stepped forward and said, "Madam, why... why... did it suddenly get dark?"

"It's dark now, isn't it?" Lin Congyun pretended to be as if it was a matter of course, "What's the big deal?"

Ergou and Sanniu looked at each other. Although they felt that what Lin Congyun said made some sense, they still felt very confused.

Someone was just discussing why it never gets dark in this place, but now it suddenly becomes dark. It is really too weird.

"Those who need to rest should rest, and get up early to work tomorrow." Lin Congyun urged everyone.

Although everyone was confused, they did not dare to ask more questions and could only follow Lin Congyun's instructions.

On the other side of Changhan County, Lin Congyun heard that there was no sound outside, so he immediately flashed out of the space.

Lin Congyun was looking at this place, secretly thinking about how to find out the news about this place, when he unexpectedly heard someone talking.

She immediately hid in the dark, and two women who looked like maids walked over from not far away.

"The county governor will hold a banquet in his mansion tomorrow. I heard it is to welcome some distinguished guests."

"Distinguished guest? What kind of distinguished guest could make the county governor pay so much attention to him?"

"I heard that it came from the capital, and it seems to be related to the royal family."

"Moreover, the county governor has prepared a song and dance performance for the distinguished guests, saying that he wants the distinguished guests to appreciate the beautiful ladies of our Changhan County."
