Chapter 398 No entry into the city
"Where are you from and where are you going?"
The city guards stopped the caravan.
"From Qingzhou County, go to the capital to do business."
Lin Xiaofan didn't hide anything and spoke directly.
A young man came to the door. He was wearing silk and satin. He looked like he was from a big family.
If Lin Xiaofan's prediction was correct, this person should be from the Zhang family and was here to wait for them.
The man walked closer, saw the large caravan, looked at Lin Xiaofan again, and said:
"Wait nearby for a routine inspection."
After saying that, he walked slowly towards the city, probably to call someone
It was a rule for the caravan to pass routine inspections, so Lin Xiaofan could only bring people aside.
After a long time, groups of city guards came and began to inspect the caravan.
They checked very carefully, even looking through the food, not missing any detail.
They didn't end the inspection until the moon rose high.
"Close the city gate!"
The time has come and the city gate is about to close.
The city guards who came out all walked into the city. Lin Xiaofan and other caravan members wanted to follow them in, but the young man stopped them with his hand.
"The time has come. You cannot enter the city. Come back tomorrow morning."
"Tomorrow? Where will we stay tonight?"
Zhao Zihan was a little unhappy and said.
They waited here for so long, until the city gate closed, but the other party refused to let them enter the city.
A normal inspection does not take such a long time, it is clearly targeted.
"You can stay wherever you want tonight, but we can't go into the city anyway."
The young man's eyebrows were slightly furrowed and his tone was pious.
"You! The city gate was open when we came here, but you guys checked for so long that you missed the time to enter the city."
Zhao Zihan was a little angry and went up to argue.
"I can't control that. We just follow the rules."
The young man smiled softly.
Zhao Zihan wanted to say more, but Lin Xiaofan stopped him:
"That's it, let's camp in the wild."
Although they are dissatisfied, they are all in the territory of the Zhang family now, and the other party has not violated the national law. It will be very detrimental to them if the trouble continues.
He silently kept this in mind, and would definitely give the Zhang family a surprise when he had the opportunity in the future.
Since the caravan cannot be guaranteed to be in the city every night, the team has tools to set up camp.
After a long time, tents were set up outside the city gate.
At night, many caravan guards patrolled around, guarding against enemies in the dark.
Lin Xiaofan was so arrogant that he fell asleep early.
He knew that most of the people from the Dayu Chamber of Commerce should be in the city and would not attack him tonight.
One night passed, and in the early morning of the next day, the city gate opened and the caravan prepared to enter the city, but was stopped again by the city guards.
"Routine inspection."
The leading young man said coldly.
"Are you done? Didn't you just check yesterday?"
Everyone in the caravan is now increasingly dissatisfied.
"Hmph, who knows if you secretly exchanged goods last night. Stop and check."
The young man's attitude was cold and there seemed to be no room for relaxation.
The caravan once again entered into a long wait.
Lin Xiaofan sighed, it seemed that entering the city was not that easy.
He silently retreated to the back of the team, found a few scouts, and said something.
However, after a while, a few people dressed as farmers mixed in with the crowd and sneaked into the city.
Lin Xiaofan counted the time silently. After a long time, he asked:
"Are you from the Zhang family?"
"Who am I and what does it have to do with you?"
The young man did not answer, but what he said had revealed his identity.
"Then do you know who I am?"
Lin Xiaofan then asked.
The young man turned his head away and said nothing.
"Let me meet you. I am Lin Xiaofan. I led troops to defeat 200,000 coalition forces in the battle of Qingzhou. A few months ago, I was assassinated. At that time, a man named Chen Ziang died in my hands."
Lin Xiaofan continued.
The young man's expression changed. He was transferred from the capital by the Zhang family and knew this matter best.
According to family members, Chen Ziang died as a result of ghostly means.
"Are you threatening me?"
The young man asked.
"I don't dare, I'm just complaining out of boredom. The world is not peaceful, so you should be more careful."
As he spoke, Lin Xiaofan showed a slight smile, but his eyes frightened the young man.
Looking at Lin Xiaofan, there was no one around him, and none of them were good. Especially the two guards next to them, the evil look in their eyes clearly meant they could kill countless people.
However, he had never seen storms since he was a child. Although he was a little scared in his heart, he was calm on the surface:
"Haha, you should be more careful, especially when walking at night."
He was sure that Lin Xiaofan would never attack him here, because that would violate national law and lead to him being hunted by the court.
But the next moment, violent explosions suddenly sounded in the city, which seemed to be very close to the city gate.
This time, the young man was also frightened.
Panic suddenly broke out in the city, and people ran to their homes.
"There's a fire in the city's prison. Go and put out the fire!"
A city guard ran down the street and shouted.
Seeing this, the young man's face changed slightly and he asked:
"What did you do?"
"You're kidding, I've been here all this time, how could I possibly set the city on fire?"
Lin Xiaofan spread his hands and smiled.
Several scouts are good at concealment skills. Each person only carries one thunder son, and they disperse their actions. After throwing it, they blend into the crowd. It is difficult to catch it without precautions.
Moreover, this is a big city. There are many people coming and going every day, and it is difficult to catch them one by one.
Even if he is caught, it doesn't matter. If the only Lei Zhenzi is thrown away and there is no evidence on him, it will be difficult for the government to convict him. Just because they are Lin Xiaofan's people, you can't say they are sabotaging it, right?
"That's who you sent in!"
Youth must be Lin Xiaofan's doing.
Lin Xiaofan turned away and said no more.
Not long after, another violent explosion sounded one after another. This time the location seems to be the Yamen.
This time, the young man couldn't sit still at all.
In the yamen, those are their confidants.
"Aren't you afraid that your people will be caught?"
The young man couldn't sit still.
"This brother is joking, my people are all outside."
Lin Xiaofan smiled.
"Hmph, seal the city gate and no one is allowed to enter."
The young man snorted coldly when he saw this.
The scene was deadlocked again, and more and more people gathered at the city gate.
After waiting for a long time, these people were a little dissatisfied.
They came from nearby villages to buy or sell things, but they had to get back before dark, otherwise they wouldn't even have a place to live.
If we continue to delay like this, we won't have enough time.
About a quarter of an hour passed. The scouts once again surprised them.
A violent explosion sounded nearby, not far from the city gate.
