Xiao Lintian led Zhao Xuan and others to continue walking forward. They had to be careful to avoid the traps under their feet, as their moving speed was a bit slow.

After walking for more than half an hour, I could faintly see the flickering light of fire on the opposite side.

"You guys rest where you are, while I and Zhao Xuan go over and take a look!"

Xiao Lintian knew that he was close to the back mountain of Zaozhuang, so he asked a few guards to rest where they were, and he and Zhao Xuan quietly went to the place where the fire was swaying.

After walking for about one stick of incense, the two heard a series of heavy footsteps coming from the firelight.

Then a man's cursing voice came: "Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer people doing things, and we are not given more money, and we are still asked to do so many things. Yang Dahu should just change his name to Yang Bapi!"

"Brother, keep your voice down, if someone hears you, you will be beaten again!" a voice whispered.

"I've been working so hard that I'm still not allowed to complain!"

The man sighed, but lowered his voice: "Xiao Wu, Yang Bapi doesn't allow us to go out these days. I don't know what's going on at home! I heard that many people outside are infected with the plague, and I don't know about my parents and your sister-in-law.

,How is my nephew doing?"

"Brother, I just quietly asked Brother Liu who was selling the goods. He said that the village was under martial law and no one was allowed to come in and out at will. He said that many patients in the village were infected with the plague..."

"Hey... medicinal materials are now sold at almost sky-high prices. Who will get sick if they see it? I'm afraid they... are in danger!"

"No, I have to find a way to go back and take a look. I don't worry about your sister-in-law and the others!" the man said worriedly.

"Brother, no! If you are discovered, they will definitely kill you!"

Xiao Wu said nervously: "Yang Dahu also brought back merchants from Dong Qi today. The precautions are stricter than before. They are searched when entering and leaving. How can you get out!"

While they were talking, Xiao Lintian made a gesture to Zhao Xuan, and the two of them divided into two groups and went over.

I saw a few huts built near the mountain wall. Xiaowu and his brother were hiding in a corner talking. There were many people working on the other side of the mountain wall, loading sack after sack of things onto the carriage.

Looking at the way those people were carrying them, Xiao Lintian guessed that the sacks were filled with medicinal materials, and the appearance of more than a dozen carriages had government logos on them.

Xiao Lintian's face darkened. There was evidence that Yang Dahu colluded with the prefect of Weizhou to resell medicinal materials, but the evidence of the affair with Dong Qi had not yet been found.

Xiao Lintian used the cover of darkness to quietly approach and heard a man's voice.

"Master He, after pulling this batch of goods, we will change the trading location next time! Recently, King Yi led his people to station in Zaozhuang. Master Yang said that if he finds any clues, we will all be in danger, so we will change the place to Majiazhuang, east of Weizhou!

"

"So troublesome? We are all familiar with this place. Wouldn't it be easier to arouse suspicion if we go back and forth?"

Mr. He's voice with Dong Qi accent was very special, and Xiao Lintian remembered this voice instantly.

"It's okay, things have been taken care of over there, and there are people to take care of you along the way, so you can get out smoothly! If it's troublesome, just be careful, and just be safe!"

The man smiled and said, "Master He, this is a long-term business. If you want to make a lot of money, you can't be too troublesome!"

"Okay, okay, hurry up and pretend! We still have to hurry! It will be even harder to leave after dawn!"

Mr. He said impatiently: "My master said that there will be a bad harvest of grain and cotton in Dongqi this year. He asked you to prepare more. When the goods are ready, we will come over again!"

The man chuckled and said: "That's no problem, the grain harvest will be coming soon, and then you can have as much as you want!"
