Just after the Lu Mansion was sealed, Lin Haoming and four other people immediately headed towards the south gate with thirty arrests and thirty internal guards.
Before leaving, Zheng Donglai handed over all the stolen goods to Liu Jing for disposal.
Liu Jing didn't say anything, she just smiled at Zheng Donglai, then glanced at Lin Haoming, and then, surrounded by others, she left behind the Lu family.
In fact, when Liu Jing brought people here again, it was already dark, and a group of more than 60 people rode out of the south gate on fast horses under the moonlit night.
This was not the first time Lin Haoming left the city. The last time he left the city, he quickly changed his route and did not look at the vast fields south of the city.
This time, with the horse racing, the group of people was soon shuttled through the fields. Under the night wind, Lin Haoming could smell the fragrance of the invisible rice fields on both sides of the road.
This is the first time Lin Haoming has seen Huayuan rice growing in the ground. Huayuan rice seems to be thicker and thicker than the rice eaten by mortals in the lower world, and the rice stalks are also taller. However, when he first saw the rice fields,
At that time, Lin Haoming discovered that the Huayuan rice in the field was very sparse. As the horse galloped, he found that the rice in the field began to become denser.
At this time, Lin Haoming remembered that the side branch of the Lu family whom Yu Zheng knew had introduced the situation to him. I am afraid that those sparse fields were those of Ding and others. What he saw now might be the fields of Ding and others.
However, after galloping for a long time, Lin Haoming did not see the spiritual fields where other things were planted. Perhaps the third-class fields were not on both sides of the road at all. Instead, many farmers were concentrated in certain places, almost every ten miles, and
Guarded by city guards.
The horse in heaven had been riding for more than an hour, more than three hundred miles, and finally a small hill appeared in the fields. It wasn't even a hill, it could only be regarded as a high slope.
However, there are several pretty good houses built on this high slope. Even though it is almost late at night, they are still brightly lit.
"Commander Fu, that's the temporary yamen in front of us when the fields are busy, and Lu Xin is 90% inside." Zheng Donglai pointed in the distance and said.
"At that time, you and I and Kang Shu will rush in to arrest the person. Lin Haoming will lead the others to surround the place. If Lu Xin wants to escape, we must stop him at our own death. It only takes a moment for the three of us to surround him and he will not be able to escape!
"Fu Yangsheng said confidently.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, we will never let Lu Xin escape easily!" Lin Haoming promised.
"Okay!" Seeing Lin Haoming's assurance without hesitation, Fu Yangsheng nodded with satisfaction.
Soon the group of people had arrived at the foot of the small slope. There were city guards guarding the foot of the small slope, but Fu Yangsheng took out a token and said: "The county magistrate has an order to capture the important criminal. Get out of my way!"
"It's Mr. Fu from the Internal Security Department! Get out of my way immediately!" The leader of the guards seemed to recognize Fu Yangsheng and immediately ran out in a hurry.
Fu Yangsheng ignored the guard leader and said directly to Lin Haoming: "Captain Lin, I'll leave it to you outside, let's go in!"
When Lin Haoming heard this, he immediately ordered the people who came with him: "Brothers from the Internal Security Department, you guard the west and north, and we guard the east and south. Anyone with bows, arrows or hidden weapons should be prepared in case they see anyone.
Break out and greet us directly!"
Lin Haoming's order greatly impressed the people who followed him. After all, Lu Xin was a Shinto monk. He rushed out and a group of Mahayana monks were looking for death. However, they couldn't ignore it, so this arrangement was naturally the best.
However, not long after everyone arranged the arrangement according to Lin Haoming's instructions, the three people who rushed in all exited.
"What's wrong, sir?" Lin Haoming stepped forward and asked.
"Lv Xin is gone. He must have known about what happened in the city in advance, but we came here overnight, and the person who informed him must not be far away from him!" Fu Yangsheng said.
"What should we do?" Lin Haoming asked.
"These are all fields. If they walked through the fields and crushed the rice ears, they would leave evidence. But when we came, we didn't meet them, so now they have escaped along the road away from the city, or they have already left from there.
Escaped from the harvest field!" Fu Yangsheng said.
"We internal guards are not good at searching for traces, so Boss Fu and I chased down the road. You lead our men to search along the field ridges. But Commander Zheng, you are only one person. If you are found,
Don't attack by force, inform us." Kang Shu said.
"Okay, without further ado, we'll set off immediately!" Zheng Donglai didn't hesitate, and with a wave of his hand, the people from the arrest department and the remaining people from the internal security department headed towards the field ridge.
Lin Haoming followed Zheng Donglai and spread out on the field ridge at intervals of a hundred feet to pursue him.
The harvested field ridges stretch as far as the eye can see, but there are some stacked straws in the middle, making it difficult to find someone hiding in them.
So, Lin Haoming directly ordered everyone to light torches and burn the straw directly when they saw it, saving time for searching.
Just like that, after chasing for almost half an hour, someone suddenly shouted: "Lin Tou, look at this!"
Following the sound, Lin Haoming ran over and took a look. It turned out that there were several footprints on the soft mud.
"These are official boots, and they are obviously new. Where did the footprints come from in a place like this at this time? It seems that Lu Xin really went in this direction!" Lin Haoming said in surprise.
With this discovery, everyone hunted even more diligently, but for more than two hours, they walked nearly a hundred miles without finding anyone. Instead, they arrived next to a river, and there was a forest on the other side of the river. If Lu Xin escaped into it, he would be there.
It’s not easy to handle.
"Boss, what should we do?" Lin Haoming asked proactively.
"Cross the river and continue searching!" Zheng Donglai ordered.
"There are woods on the other side of the river. It will be dawn in less than two hours now. Should we wait until dawn? And by that time, Master Fu should also be here!" Lin Haoming suggested.
"You think so, and Lu Xin thinks so too. Lu Xin didn't have horses when he escaped, maybe he was watching us from the other side!" Zheng Donglai pointed to the opposite side.
"Go, cross the river!" Seeing Zheng Donglai so determined, Lin Haoming could only order.
Crossing the river was easy. Everyone was carrying ropes, which were no more than twenty feet tall. Some people threw the ropes directly to the big trees on the other side. After hooking them, they crossed directly along the ropes without touching the water at all.
.
After everyone came over, Zheng Donglai ordered again, and everyone scattered to search. However, since it was a deep forest after all, at least four or five people should be kept together so that if anything happened, others could be notified.
Lin Haoming was about to leave, but Zheng Donglai suddenly said: "Lin Baotou, you follow me so that I can give orders!"
"Yes!" Lin Haoming heard it and seemed to have no doubts about why Zheng Donglai wanted him to follow him.
