Looking for you in reincarnation

Ning Ji's eyes quickly swept across the study. He first walked to the desk and quickly flipped through the official documents and letters on it. Most of them were about the border war.

After flipping through it for a while, he stuffed a topographical map into his arms before starting to search other parts of the study.

After a careful search, he found a secret compartment on the bookshelf, which contained some valuable items of high quality, including private seals, account books, property deeds, customs clearance tokens, and a thick stack of silver bills.

Ning Ji took all the things, stuffed them into a small bag, put it on his back, and then left the study.

After leaving the study, Ning Ji did not leave immediately. Instead, he jumped onto the roof and moved lightly across the tiles. After a while, he arrived at the banquet hall in the backyard.

He lay on the roof, gently lifted a tile, and peeked at everything in the house.

At this time, Gao Hua had stood up and walked among the dancers, dancing with them.

Gao Hua is a little fat, his movements are clumsy, and his face is full of enjoyment. The dancers around him are laughing and flirting with him, creating a luxurious scene.

Ning Ji glanced at them indifferently. After a while, he changed his position, lifted another tile, took out a small medicine bottle, and silently dripped a drop of medicine into the wine glass on the table below. After that, he put away the medicine bottle, covered the tile again, and then left the county magistrate's mansion.

……

Outside Lingcheng, a group of officers holding torches escorted the prisoners to the confiscated sects and handed them over to the guards guarding there. Although they didn't know what they were going to do, this was an order from above and no one was allowed to question it.

The group was on a hurried journey.

The officers were walking in a hurry. After all, it was late at night and they wanted to finish their work quickly and go back to rest.

The prisoners riding in the prison van were fine, just a little bumpy and crowded.

But the prisoners walking at the back were as tired as dogs. The officers were all riding horses. They held whips and urged the prisoners to run faster like they were driving cattle and sheep, and whipped them from time to time.

Only when the prisoners could no longer run did they stop for a while to let them catch their breath.

At this moment, every prisoner was in a panic, because the officials escorted them out of the city overnight, which must be no good, and there was even a high possibility that they would be executed outside the city.

Thinking of the worst possible scenario, they were all panicking. Some of them even started trying to find ways to escape, because they only had a chance while being escorted.

At this time, Zhao Mie and others were also among them. They did not ride in the prison cart, but were driven forward like everyone else.

While resting on the way, Wei Hu calmly used a piece of wire to pry the shackles on the chain.

I was imprisoned in a cell before and it was difficult to escape, but now is a good opportunity!

Soon, he pried open the lock on the chain, but he still wore it on his hand to cover it up and did not take it off immediately.

He quietly moved to the side of Zhao Mie and Wei Bao, and quickly unlocked them under the cover of night. In just a moment, their shackles were loosened, but they still did not move. They wanted to find the most suitable location and the best time to escape.

Soon, the officers began to urge them to hurry up. Along the way, Wei Hu unlocked the locks of several of his men one after another.

Among this group of prisoners, there are quite a few who are doing the same thing as him. Naturally, many of them who can become bandits have some skills.

So, during a break, they started to riot. Those who had their shackles removed grabbed weapons and ran around while resisting the officers, deliberately creating some chaos while running.

Some people even desperately grabbed knives and broke the locks of some prison vans, and the people imprisoned inside immediately rushed out.

Seeing this, the other trapped prisoners also struggled and tried to escape, and the scene was in chaos.

While Wei Bao was running away, he spotted a slender figure not far away, who looked very familiar. He immediately took advantage of the chaos, grabbed the man, and ran into the jungle beside the road.

They fled in a hurry, heading straight into the mountains and forests.

A group of officers tried their best to intercept them, but many people still escaped.

……

In Wujia Village, Si He sat on the roof, quietly watching the cold night.

There are many dark clouds tonight, and the moon appears and disappears in the night sky, resulting in poor lighting at night, and it is pitch black most of the time.

But for Si He, there was no obstacle at all and it was as clear as day.

At this moment, the night wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the broken doors and windows in the village were shaking and creaking.

The temperature difference between day and night here is quite large. The temperature during the day is quite comfortable and cool, but it becomes very cold at night.

The closer you get to the back mountain, the colder it gets.

Si He closed her eyes and felt it quietly, and the uncomfortable feeling in her heart came back again.

This feeling is hard to describe and makes people feel a little creepy.

After a while, she opened her eyes, turned her head and looked towards the back mountain.

In the dark forest, the shadows of the trees sway, and occasionally the cries of unknown creatures can be heard. The sounds are long and shrill, echoing in the forest.

The howling sound of the mountain wind sounded like the cry of dead souls, which made the atmosphere even more eerie and made people's scalps tingle.

Si He frowned slightly, remembering what Ning Ji said, that the suppressed vengeful spirit should be over there.

At this time, there was some movement in the distance.

Si He turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound.

In the forest in front of the village, it seemed that some people were running towards this side, and there were quite a few of them.

Who would come to this place at this time?

She jumped off the roof, walked out of the yard, and after closing the gate, she did not choose to hide, but walked towards the village entrance through the dark path.

Mo Mo followed behind her, moving forward slowly.

Finally, she stopped in a dark corner and stared towards the village entrance.

After a while, those people arrived at the entrance of the village.

There were about six or seven people, one of whom was a woman, but she seemed to be unconscious and was being held from behind, so she was not very clear.

They stopped at the entrance of the village, looked around, and seemed to be hesitating.

"Brother, I heard that this village was haunted before. Why don't we just hide in the mountains?"

Si He was standing in a corner not far away and recognized these people. They turned out to be bandits from Jiulian Mountain. It was said that they had robbed the government before. Unexpectedly, they met them here again after going around in circles.

At this time, Zhao Mie snorted coldly, "Didn't that dirty thing have been destroyed long ago?"

Looking at this dark and deserted village, they felt it was creepy.

But since the boss said so, they could only go into the village to hide for a while and rest.

They did not go deep into the village, nor did they walk around the village. They just chose a house at the entrance of the village, and a group of people squeezed into the room to rest for a while.

Except for lighting torches at the beginning to check the house, they did not light any more fires afterwards for fear that the light would attract attention. Although this was a deserted village, it was always better to be cautious.

The room was pitch black, with only some moonlight shining in through the window when the moon came out.
