Chapter 213 People are doing it, God is watching
People from both sides entered Sugu City together. Because there were too many people, they stayed in two inns next to each other.
After just staying in the inn, he was silent for a whole night. Eunuch Fang, who seemed to have just recovered from the shock of how he started running for his life, finally spoke, "Is this considered an escape?"
Lin Xiaoman felt a little sympathy for him. It was a good job to deliver the message, but he didn't expect to be involved in the murder. It was not easy for Mr. Fang.
But with him here, it would be much better for them to talk to the emperor about their nearly being murdered when he returns to his hometown, than for them to ask the emperor to make the decision themselves.
Besides, why did they suffer such a disaster? It was not because they had the weapons arsenal of the rebels who wanted to rebel against the emperor. It would be unreasonable for the emperor to say nothing.
Lin Xiaoman cheered up and told Eunuch Fang what they had done to escape. Eunuch Fang was shocked when he realized that the beautiful fireworks show last night was a smoke bomb set up to escape. What a surprise.
The admiration is gone, only horror remains.
Fortunately, Lu Jin and Lin Xiaoman had the foresight to escape. Otherwise, they would have disappeared, and no one would have known that they were burned to death in Jiyuan County.
After a simple bite of rice, Lin Xiaoman went back to his room to rest.
After escaping all night, she was exhausted. She wanted to catch up on her sleep when she got to a safe place.
Eunuch Fang sat there for half the night like a frightened bird, always feeling that someone was coming to harm him again, so before dawn he took the people ahead of him, saying that he was going back to the capital to meet the emperor.
It was already evening when Lin Xiaoman woke up, and the smell of food wafted in from outside.
Get up, Xiuyu is already waiting outside the door.
Seeing her yawning while handing herself a towel, it shows that she did not sleep well after taking a rest.
Lin Xiaoman said: "Go to bed after dinner, I don't need you to serve me here."
Xiuyu yawned half of the time and was frightened back. She thought it was because she had lost her manners in front of the princess and made the princess angry. "Princess, I am not sleepy. I have to wait for the princess to go to bed."
Lin Xiaoman put the used towel back in her hand, "No, I just woke up and I'm not sleepy yet. Look, you've got dark circles under your eyes. If you don't sleep, you won't be beautiful. Hurry up and get some beauty sleep. Wake up."
We have to go on a journey tomorrow."
Seeing that Lin Xiaoman didn't look angry, Xiuyu felt relieved and thought to herself: The princess didn't let her and Xiuxiang do any work in the past, and she didn't put on airs when she came out, and she still cared about whether she had dark circles under her eyes. Ugh.
, the princess is so kind!
After dinner, Lin Xiaoman let Xiuyu and Xiuxiang go to bed. She sat in the yard, still afraid of what happened last night. Who would have thought that if you go to Beijing properly, you will encounter conspiracies and intrigues. Sure enough, Beijing is like this
It’s not a good place to be in a place where ghosts, ghosts, and snakes gather. After celebrating the Queen’s birthday, I’d better hurry back to her Hedong Village.
Although the people in the village have their own plans, and there are also evil people like Mrs. Lin, the idea of destroying an entire city just to kill a few people is still too shocking.
Well, if you go back and talk to Grandpa Er and Uncle Daqiang, you will definitely scare them out of their wits.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Jin came in from outside with a cold look on his face, followed by Qing Shu who was talking desperately.
Lin Xiaoman wanted to hide back in the house after just one glance. This was the first time she saw Lu Jin's face sinking like ice.
Thinking of what happened last night, Lin Xiaoman's intuition was that he was angry about what happened in Jiyuan County.
Lu Jin saw Lin Xiaoman sitting in the yard, the coldness on his face subsided a little, and waved his hand towards Qingshu, "I know, you don't have to worry about those people, just go back and ask someone to hand over the book. I don't believe those people can still act like that."
What a trick."
Qingshu sighed and helplessly spread his hands to Lin Xiaoman before taking the order.
As soon as Qing Shu left, Lu Jin's face immediately put on a smile as bright as the morning sun, as if he had just seen that the person was not him.
Lu Jin sat across from Lin Xiaoman and chuckled, "We just left last night when a group of people drove dozens of carriages filled with kerosene to enter the city. A firework missed its target and fell onto the car.
The chariot caught fire at the gate of the city and could not be extinguished even if it was put out."
"Have you hurt the people in the city?" Lin Xiaoman broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. She knew what kerosene was, and it was what later generations called oil. The purpose of transporting kerosene into the city at this time can be imagined, but she really didn't expect it.
Leave a living person in the city.
"That's not true. It started burning outside the city. Some kerosene flowed into the city and burned some officers and soldiers who had no time to escape. The people in the city fled away when they saw the fire."
"That's not bad!"
Lin Xiaoman was glad that they escaped first, otherwise even if it were a few hours later, they and the people of the city would be the ones who perished in the flames.
However, the fact that those fireworks ignited kerosene was beyond her expectation. It can only be said that people are doing it, God is watching, but it is a pity that they are burning the officers and soldiers who are executing the order. Why didn't they burn the bastard who gave the order?

At this time, in the palace of a certain prince in the capital, he was eating a red oil pot in the moonlight at the stone table in the garden while listening to his subordinates' reports. He heard his subordinates say that the kerosene had been sent to Jiyuan County.
Last night, when it was supposed to be successful and no one in Jiyuan County could escape alive, he laughed happily, "Sixth, don't blame me for being cruel. If you want to blame me, I can only blame you for ruining my good deeds."
.Not killing you is not enough to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Suddenly his nose itched, he sneezed violently, and knocked over the stone table in front of him. The bottom of a pot of boiling red oil just hit his waist. It was so hot that he jumped into the lotus pond next to him.

"The prince has fallen into the water! Someone, come quickly, the prince has fallen into the water."
For a time, everything in the palace was abuzz.
Miss Xu also received news that a convoy transporting kerosene from Jiyuan County to the city was set on fire outside the city, and sent a maid over to express her gratitude.
Lin Xiaoman brought her a few oranges and asked her to steam them with salt and give them to Miss Xu. Although she took medicine to treat her illness, Miss Xu was too ill, so there was no harm in using folk remedies.
When they arrived at the new place, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu both wanted to take a look there. Ignoring Lu Jin's pitiful eyes, the siblings locked the door from the inside and went over there.
The door here opened next to the sink of a public toilet in a corner of the park. Thinking that the room he lived in would become a public toilet in more than a thousand years, Lin Xiaoman had the urge to change rooms when he returned.
Fortunately, this public toilet is located in a corner, and not many people come here. They didn't see anyone when they walked through.
Sugu City is more than 80 miles away from Jiyuan County. It is now a prefecture-level city called Jinhe. After more than a thousand years of historical changes, the former Kyoto has long been moved away, but Jinhe City is still a tourist city.
Tourists with big and small bags can be seen everywhere.
The siblings went to the night market outside the park and ate a lot of unique delicacies in Jinhe City. As expected, the food here is different from Qingping County. The food here is sweeter, the kind where two spoons of sugar are added to the noodles.
At this point, Lin Xiaoman didn’t like sweets very much, so after eating a few bites, he gave them all to Lin Erhu. If he wanted to try anything later, he would only buy a little bit, but that’s it, after going all around, he still had a lot left in his hand.
