Don't worry, mother, I've brought the golden finger to change your fate

Outside the village, the officers and soldiers were fully armed and aggressive. The villagers were panicked and gathered together to discuss the matter.

"Traitors? They're not talking about us, are they?" Zhang San asked nervously.

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan looked at each other and became alert: "We have to go and take a look."

The two of them led the village chief and several villagers to the entrance of the village and met the troops head-on. The leading officer and soldier had a sharp gaze and scanned the area coldly.

"Are there people named Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan in your village?" the captain asked seriously.

Lin Ruowei stepped forward and said, "I am Lin Ruowei, and he is Gu Yan. We are not traitors, so what is going on?"

The captain snorted coldly: "News came from the capital that you planned a conspiracy to overthrow the court. We were ordered to come and capture the traitors."

When Lin Ruowei heard this, she almost laughed out loud: "Are you mistaken? We are just a small village, how could we possibly plan such a thing?"

Gu Yan also pretended to be surprised: "Yes, we are so busy with the affairs of our own village that we can't even handle it, how can we still think of any conspiracy?"

The captain frowned, obviously a little shaken: "But the order we received is this, we must take you back to the capital for investigation."

Lin Ruowei came up with an idea and suddenly said, "In that case, we are willing to cooperate with the investigation. But before that, we need to pack some things. Captain, you guys take a rest here first."

The captain seemed a little impatient, but still agreed: "Okay, I'll give you one hour, go quickly and come back quickly."

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan returned to the village and quickly discussed countermeasures. Lin Ruowei said: "It seems that we have been exposed. We must find another way."

Gu Yan nodded: "We can use the tunnel in the village to escape and stay out of the spotlight first."

The village chief frowned and said, "Although we can escape through the tunnel, it will be troublesome if we are discovered."

Lin Ruowei thought for a moment and said, "We can create some illusions to confuse them."

They decided to set up some traps and false clues in the village to make the officers and soldiers think they had escaped, and then quietly move to a safe place through the tunnel.

The villagers took action and set up traps and false clues according to Lin Ruowei's plan. Time was running out and everyone was busy.

Finally, everything was ready. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan led the villagers into the tunnel and left the village quietly.

The officers and soldiers waited at the entrance of the village for a while, and when they saw that Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan had not returned, they rushed into the village to search. As a result, they fell into layers of traps and were in a mess.

The captain said angrily: "Damn it, they ran away!"

The officers and soldiers searched the whole village but could not find any trace of Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan.

On the other side, Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan led the villagers through the tunnel smoothly and moved to a hidden valley. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It looks like we are safe for now." Gu Yan said.

Lin Ruowei nodded: "Yes, but we can't take it lightly. We must find more evidence as soon as possible to expose the conspiracy of the mysterious staff."

Just as everyone was discussing the next plan, an unexpected visitor suddenly appeared.

"Ms. Lin, Mr. Gu, I have important news." A familiar voice came.

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan turned around and saw that it was the mysterious stranger from before.

"Why are you here again?" Lin Ruowei asked.

The stranger said in a serious tone, "I have new intelligence. The mysterious staff has discovered your actions and is stepping up deployment. You must act immediately, otherwise it will be too late."
