I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

"Why do I think you guys look familiar?"

The soldier frowned and stopped Chen Chuxue and others.

Uncle Geng and others' hearts skipped a beat. They had already put on makeup, how could they still be recognized like this?

"Maybe we go out often, so the military master may think we look familiar." Uncle Geng quickly explained.

The soldier looked at them. The reason they looked familiar to him was mainly due to Uncle Geng's burly figure and the large family of women and children.

This reminded him of a group of people like this he met at the city gate a few days ago. They looked similar in stature, but their appearance was different.

Besides, those people were outside the city, how could they come in.

"Too."

Thinking of this, he turned around and left. It was not his shift today, so he came out for a walk.

Seeing the soldier leaving, Chen Chuxue and others quickly left and returned to the hiding room.

"Uncle Geng, I plan to go out."

Chen Chuxue naturally planned to open the treasure chest. In fact, she discovered a purple treasure chest in the city very early.

But she never spoke.

Because the treasure chest is in the county government office.

That was the most heavily guarded place in the entire Dongqiu County. If Uncle Geng and the others knew about it, how could they let her take the risk?

But that is a purple treasure chest!

Being able to use magical skills, how could Chen Chuxue give up.

But it was impossible for her to take Xiaoyue and the others on an adventure, so she could only act alone.

"It just so happens that I have to go out to inquire about the situation."

Uncle Geng said, he had already agreed before that he would go out to the south gate to see if he could leave the city, or what the conditions were for leaving the city.

"In this case..." Chen Chuxue frowned. Without Uncle Geng, Xiaoyue and the others' safety would be difficult to guarantee.

Thinking of this, he kept the crossbow, smoke bombs, and other weapons.

I also took out water bags and some food from the space.

After arranging everything, Chen Chuxue followed Uncle Geng towards the south gate.

Dongqiu City was bigger than they imagined, and they walked for more than ten minutes before reaching the south gate.

Near the south gate, it is quite lively.

There were many carriages coming in from outside, obviously transporting supplies, and some were people coming in from outside.

But much comes in, but few goes out.

Moreover, they discovered that not only the carriage must be checked for everyone leaving the city, but also everyone must have their household registration verified.

When they got closer, they heard that the soldiers not only verified the household registrations, but also asked those who left to explain clearly the reasons for leaving and the time of return.

Obviously, Dongqiu County is restricting the migration of the population. If they are allowed to leave at will, then before long, there will be fewer and fewer people in Dongqiu County, and it will weaken by then.

This was a situation that neither the county magistrate nor the court wanted to see.

Therefore, the management of leaving the city is very strict.

Seeing this scene, Chen Chuxue and others looked a little ugly.

Is it possible that they have to climb the wall to leave again?

It's not impossible, but it's too dangerous. They were on tenterhooks last night and didn't want to experience it again.

After all, if something goes wrong, it will be irreversible.

"Xiaoxue, give me a tael of silver that I deposited with you before, and I'll go around and ask around."

Uncle Geng suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Chen Chuxue. He was talking about the money he had saved before and brought out from Geng's house.

Because Chen Chuxue knew everything, they let Chen Chuxue keep all their savings.

However, Chen Chuxue took out dozens of taels and handed them to him, "Uncle Geng, this is sponsored. Don't refuse in a hurry. If we succeed, this little money will be well spent..."

Uncle Geng nodded, knowing what she meant. With these dozens of taels, his operating space would be much larger.

"Uncle Geng, I'll leave first. Don't look for me then. I'll go back before lunch." Although Uncle Geng was worried, he also knew that Xiaoxue had her own things to do, so he nodded and told her to be careful.

After Chen Chuxue separated from him, she came to the county government office.

The county government office is very impressive. There are several government officials holding long sticks standing in front of the vermilion gate, guarding the gate with expressionless faces.

Chen Chuxue found a safe place, closed her eyes, used the VR route, and then explored the location of the treasure chest.

The treasure chest is in the study room in the backyard of the county government office.

This county government office is not only the place where the county magistrate works, but it is also the place where the county magistrate lives.

However, the office and living are separate. The office is in the front yard and the living is in the backyard.

This county government office is very large, covering several thousand square meters.

Therefore, both the front yard office area and the backyard living area are very large.

There are also several doors in the backyard. Basically, the entrance and exit of the back house are through those doors, but through the county government gate.

This layout made Chen Chuxue relieved. If she entered through the county government gate, she would be stumped in the first step.

Not to mention having to pass through the lobby, where all the fast-moving government officials are, this is simply as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Fortunately, there were several doors in the backyard, which gave her a chance.

However, when Chen Chuxue used VR to come to the study room, she found that the county magistrate was inside.

The county magistrate looked to be more than 40 years old, but his hair was gray and he looked a little old.

But in front of him stood an acquaintance of Chen Chuxue.

Yes, it was someone Chen Chuxue knew.

Chen Chuxue didn't know the identity of a person she met near Anping Village, but she felt that this person might have bad intentions, so she avoided him.

I didn't expect to meet it here.

Fortunately, VR vision can also hear sounds, which made Chen Chuxue walk to a chair in the study room, sit down and listen to their conversation.

"County Magistrate Guo, this transaction is very simple for you, haven't you thought about it clearly?"

When the county magistrate heard this, he slapped the table angrily, "Do you know what you are doing? Isn't it embarrassing to threaten a court official without fear of death?"

The man laughed mockingly, "If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't come here."

"you……"

Magistrate Guo looked very ugly. He didn't expect this man to be so bold and threatened him face to face with evidence of his corruption and bribery.

But he didn't dare to attack. After all, this man said that as long as he died in the county government, evidence of his corruption and bribery would appear in the court.

He didn't dare to gamble.

"Who is this person? Why go to all this trouble."

County Magistrate Guo was a little curious about the identity of the woman, but he actually allowed the man in front of him to sacrifice his life and force a court official to help him harm someone.

"You don't need to know this, you just say whether to do it or not."

The man said impatiently, if it weren't for the fact that he found it difficult to move in this place in the north, there would be no need to use this method.

But who knew that he had lost track of Chen Chuxue, and could only think that this was the checkpoint for the southbound trip. If Chen Chuxue wanted to go south, he would definitely have to pass through this place.

So after being scared away by the machete gang, he came to this place and planned to make a fuss about the county magistrate.

Although County Magistrate Guo didn't want to agree, there was nothing he could do at this time. He was just one person anyway.

"it is good!"

"I promise you!"

"I hope that when I finish this, you can fulfill your promise and return those things to me."
