The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

The sound of the coordinated footsteps of the people in Qingfeng Village gradually faded away.

But even so, for a moment, everyone was watching at the city gate, and no one dared to leave the city first.

I was afraid that the people from Qingfeng Village would launch a surprise attack.

Seeing Chen Jingwen's serious expression, Xiao Guizi looked at him nervously and asked,

"Second Master, we are now..."

Chen Jingwen came back to his senses and shook his head slightly.

"Let's wait and see!"

"Yes, Second Master!"

At the city gate, many people suddenly appeared and gathered in front of the empty city gate. No one dared to leave the city.

Only the dozen or so bloody heads on the city gate were still swaying slightly in the wind.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one wanted to be the first leader.

Finally, I don’t know how much time passed.

An old man pushing a wheelbarrow staggered towards the city gate.

Everyone's eyes instantly fell on the old man, nervously watching his every move.

Until he pushed the cart out of the city completely.

Everyone suddenly reacted and rushed towards the city gate.

Even Chen Jingwen and the other three were pushed around hard in the crowd.

Ada quickly protected Chen Jingwen behind him and pushed away all the people who rushed over.

The officers and soldiers standing at the foot of the wall a hundred meters outside the city gate seemed to come back to their senses and come back to life in an instant.

He quickly rushed forward with weapons in hand, shouting at everyone leaving the city.

"Queue up! Queue up!"

"Everyone, just be quiet. What are you doing lining up to leave the city?"

"Anyone who pushes again will be taken back to jail!"

"I'm talking to you! You peasant! Who told you to leave the city before Master Liu? Get in line at the back!"

"quick!"

"..."

With the intervention of the officers and soldiers, many carriages and horses at the city gates were gradually evacuated from the city.

Countless ordinary people in ordinary clothes stood there waiting with their eyes wide open. Many of them looked indignant, but they could do nothing about it.

The sallow-faced common people could only wait and watch the officers and soldiers clear the way for the gentlemen riding horses and in carriages.

Chen Jingwen stood there, watching the scene before him.

Seeing that group of officers and soldiers were timid in front of the bandits in Qingfeng Village, but showed off their power and might in front of ordinary people, they maintained the order of giving priority to the dignitaries and gentlemen to leave the city.

For a moment, Chen Jingwen, who had never been bothered by this before, felt increasingly heavy in his heart.

If all officials in the world are like this, it is no wonder that the common people in Yangzhou City would be closer to the bandits in Qingfeng Village.

Thinking of this, Chen Jingwen sighed heavily.

"Alas! Is this the official from Daqian? No wonder the common people fear him like a tiger and are close to the bandits from Qingfeng Village!"

Ada behind Chen Jingwen remained silent.

Xiao Guizi seemed to be hesitant to speak, and after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice,

"Second Master, calm down! After all, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. The officials in Yangzhou are just a few of the local officials!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingwen raised a disdainful smile and then let out a long breath.

Then he waved his hand.

"Let's go! We're leaving the city too. Send Brother Fei a letter immediately to the guards to wait at the Haizhou dock and escort me back to the capital immediately!"

Xiao Guizi was stunned when she heard this.

"Second Master, then you don't go incognito..."

Chen Jingwen shook his head slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the soldiers at the city gate who were ordering the common people around.

"No need! Seeing the small details can reveal the big picture, seeing a single leaf can reveal the coming of autumn!"

"This king already knows what he should do!"

Then he strode towards the city gate.

Xiao Guizi hurriedly bowed and replied,

"Yes, Second Master!"

Then he and A Da hurriedly caught up with Chen Jingwen.

Yangzhou Salt Administration Office.

When Lin Ruhai received the report from his servants that Lin Daiyu's carriage and the tax silver sent to the capital had all left the city safely,
