Licheng University is big, but according to Xu Da, the dark kiln he manages has as many as a hundred women, and if he wants to transfer all the staff, it will inevitably attract attention.

Li Haitang couldn't figure out the opponent's routine, whether to hide first and wait for the limelight to pass before appearing, or to go up against the wind and find a way to transport people out of the city under the eyes of the people.

There is a corner gate at the gate of the city. If there is an emergency, you can also register with the guide, which is very humane.

Xia Zhifu came out of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in his early years. He was rigorous and upright. He managed the water and soil in Licheng, which gave Li Haitang a little more confidence in the quality of Daqi officials.

In comparison, Zhang Zheng, the magistrate of Lucheng, really couldn't describe it in words.

"We came to look for Ji Qiu at the city gate?"

Zhang Ruyi didn't know, so it stands to reason that Lanyi should be in Licheng.

"No, come to find the missing woman."

Li Haitang could somewhat understand her husband's intentions. Those people committed heinous crimes in the surrounding cities, and the parents and officials had a headache for them, and there was nothing they could do.

The leaders are not afraid of the government at all, they are likely to face the difficulties and make provocative actions.

"Can't you? Look, anyone who goes out will be checked."

Zhang Ruyi pointed at the gate of the city, and besides a group of soldiers defending the city, there were still three officials who came to register.

"There are so many people, won't they all go out together?"

Zhang Ruyi still didn't believe it, thinking that it would be a waste of time and useless work to come here to sit on the sidelines.

However, it's okay now anyway, she endured it and didn't raise any objections.

Several people sat in the carriage drinking tea, about half an hour later.

From a distance, a funeral procession came, the leader held a spirit banner, with a look of grief on his face.

There were about twenty people in the team, carrying white lanterns, scattering paper money, and a large coffin in the middle.

"Husband, here we come!"

Li Haitang lifted his spirits, and in the next second, Xiao Lingchuan got out of the carriage and walked towards the gate of the city with big strides.

"What's coming?"

Zhang Ruyi was at a loss, and Li Haitang and his wife were mysterious and said something she couldn't understand.

"The living people are strictly inspected when they leave the city, but what about the dead?"

Li Haitang followed closely, jumped off the carriage neatly, and over there, the leader had registered and was about to leave the city.

The deceased is a big one, and the relatives have to transport the coffin to their homeland, where they can rest in peace, and the officials simply do the registration, so there is no reason to stop it.

"Wait!"

Just as a group of people were about to go out, Xiao Lingchuan stopped them.

"Is there something wrong?"

The big man in the lead squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Lingchuan. He frowned, feeling that he might have been exposed.

After winking with a few people around him, he asked, "This man wants to stop the coffin?"

The visitor was not kind, and the little boss had dark eyes, not knowing where he had made a flaw.

"What are you doing?"

The official did not know Xiao Lingchuan, so he spoke for the leader, "Our lord said that the city gate will be closed for three days, but if there is something important, you can leave the city after registration."

The man who hit the Lingban died of his sister, and wanted to transport the body back to his hometown for burial, but the official expressed his understanding.

"Can you leave the city without checking the coffin?"

Li Haitang put on the veil and asked the official, "What if it is a missing woman?"

"What kind of logic is that! The dead are the most important, how can anyone lift the coffin?"

The official took advantage of it, thinking that Li Haitang was unreasonable, and he didn't know where the fault came from, so he just meddled in his own business.

To transport the missing woman, use coffin boards, thanks to their idea.

Opening the coffin for inspection would be disrespectful to the deceased! There is a funeral at home, and the relatives are sad enough, but it is too unreasonable to sprinkle salt on people's wounds and knock a sap.

The man in the lead trembled, but quickly remained calm. He lowered his head, pretending to be sad, and remained silent.

Li Haitang likes to observe the details the most. There are many subtleties that can reveal many things. For example, a man's fists are clenched. It doesn't look like fear and anger, but nervousness.

He was so tense and depressed, he was tense, not sure when to erupt.

There were more than 20 people in the funeral team, and the few who played the suona were confused and looked like ordinary people.

The few people in the lead are mostly related to the missing woman, and they have an indelible bloody smell on their bodies.

"Blue clothes, blue clothes, are you in there?"

Zhang Ruyi was courageous, pushed everyone away, and directly lay down on the coffin board to beat, "Lan Yi, are you there?"

In the coffin, Lan Yi felt the shock. She was often forcibly drugged these days, and she was rarely awake.

Before being pushed into the coffin, she and Zhaodi were studying ways to escape.

I remember that on the night before the Hundred Flowers Festival, a group of people came, tied the sisters with ropes, threw them into the carriage, and hurriedly changed places.

She speculated that the location of the underground kiln was exposed, and they had a good chance of being rescued.

Not long after Lan Yi woke up, before he had time to plan too much, he was knocked out again, and this time he was not in the carriage, but in the coffin.

"Miss?"

In a daze, Lan Yi suddenly woke up when he heard Zhang Ruyi's call. She pushed Zhaodi beside her, but seeing no response, she had to tap the coffin board with her hand, "Miss, am I dreaming?"

At this moment, there was no sound.

After the officials looked at each other, they looked solemn. They were about to arrest someone, but a few people took the first step and pierced the chest with the dagger they carried with them.

"Smelly bitch, I want you to meddle in your own business!"

The little leader grabbed Zhang Ruyi and put the bloody knife on her neck, "I warn you, don't come here, or I will kill her!"

For a while, the remaining two officials and the soldiers guarding the city looked at each other, and the one who was invited to play the suona had already collapsed on the ground and peed his pants in fright.

"Lady!"

Seeing this, Lu Yuanqing was about to step forward, but Li Haitang grabbed her sleeve and pulled her back.

With the combat power of Lu Er's fool, it's better not to make trouble, otherwise, the final result will be another one from our own side.

The little boss was busy protecting himself and didn't care about the coffin board. The soldiers stepped forward and pried away the nails in the dead corner, and Lan Yi sat up in the coffin.

"Miss!"

Lan Yi wanted to get up, but he had been in a coma for too long, his mind was in a daze, and just as he opened his legs, he fell into it again.

"Ling Yi, it's great that you're alright!"

Zhang Ruyi wept with joy, she was not thinking of her own safety, but that Lan Yi was finally rescued.

"Woo hoo, miss!"

Not only Zhang Ruyi was used as a meat ticket, but the remaining five or six people also kidnapped the people who were planning to leave the city at the gate of the city, and confronted everyone.

"Ji Qiu! Save Miss!"

Lan Yi's eyes were confused, and when he saw Ji Qiu's figure not far away, he cried bitterly as if grabbing at straws for help. Being locked up in that ghostly place, cold and damp, like stepping on hell with one foot, if Ji Qiu hadn't been used as a spiritual support, Lanyi might have a mental breakdown and go crazy like other women.
