After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Yu Linlang walked around the big hole in surprise and even stuck her head in to take a look.

"So big?"

Wu Yong nodded bitterly, "The rats dug in from here, dozens of them swarmed in at once, biting everyone they saw, catching everyone off guard."

"The brothers killed about ten of them, and the rest scattered."

"By the time we discovered the big hole in the wall, the criminal had already disappeared."

Yu Linlang crawled in through the big hole and walked to the wall to take a look.

Wu Yong stepped forward and pointed at the broken chain in the corner, "Look, sir, this chain was cut by Yin Gui himself."

"But when we handed him over to the Demon Suppression Division and took him to Jingzhao Prefecture Prison, we checked his entire body and found no weapons hidden anywhere."

Yu Linlang squatted down wearing gauntlets, pulled away the weeds on the ground, and rubbed some of the debris.

"It's fine iron filings." Mu Zhao raised his eyebrows. "It seems that there is a traitor in Jingzhao Prefecture, who secretly sent a fine iron dagger to the wanted criminal and waited for an opportunity to escape."

Wu Yong was shocked. "This... is a traitor?"

"Sir!" Hao Youcai came upon hearing the news and ran in from the outer wall shouting and screaming.

When he saw Yu Linlang, it was like seeing his own brother. He wanted to rush forward and hug Yu Linlang and cry bitterly.

Seeing this, Chang Qing silently stepped forward to stop Hao Youcai, "Master Hao, if you have anything to say, please talk to me."

"My Lord, you are all here." Hao Youcai cried with a sad face, "Look at what happened. Suddenly, a large group of rats broke into the prison and rescued the wanted criminal."

Mu Zhao glanced at him and said, "This Jingzhao prison is too fragile. A few rats dug it up and it collapsed in half. The Ministry of Revenue allocates funds every year, but has this prison become like this?"

Hao Youcai fell to his knees with a thump, crying, "Your Highness, this is unfair. I don't know why this happened, but the rats were really huge. Eyewitnesses said they were very agile and used to hitting other people..."

"Do you think it's worthwhile to find excuses to shirk responsibility at this time?" Mu Zhao interrupted his self-defense without any hesitation and scolded him coldly, "Your Jingzhao Prefecture tried every means to get this person to you, and he disappeared inexplicably from your Jingzhao Prefecture."

"What's the use of crying out loud now? Have you sent anyone to chase them? What's the situation like? Don't you know anything about it?"

"And the source of these giant rats, have you sent anyone to investigate? This is clearly abnormal. Why would a group of rats gather in the government office out of nowhere? Where did they come from and who brought them in? Have you investigated?"

Hao Youcai stammered, opening and closing his mouth, and after being scolded by Mu Zhao, his mind became even more confused.

Yu Linlang silently glanced at the tearful Jingzhao Yin, "Where are the whole squad? Are they chasing the murderer?"

"Right, right, right." Hao Youcai came to his senses immediately and nodded repeatedly, "The whole class has gone to chase after Yingui."

"Sir, sir!" As he spoke, Quan Tong ran in with a dozen yamen runners, all sweaty. Seeing Yu Linlang and Mu Zhao were there, he hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed.

"Sir, we have been chasing that Yin Gui all the way, but we haven't seen him. Judging from the direction he is heading, he may be fleeing towards the North Mountain."

Hao Youcai collapsed to the ground, slapping his thigh and wailing, "Oh my, this is bad, it's bad!"

Beishan is so big, it’s not easy to find someone.

If the prisoner goes to the North Mountain, there is a high probability that he will never be found.

It was over. He, the Jingzhao Yin, would definitely be held accountable by the court. Hao Youcai was now regretting it. If he had known that Yin Gui was such a hot potato, he should not have been put in the Jingzhao jail.

"Sir, if you want to go into Beishan, you must bring all the equipment and food with you. It would be best if you could find a hunter who is active in the Beishan area to go into the mountain together." Quan Tong touched his head and looked at Yu Linlang embarrassedly.

"I heard that Master Tengshe of the Demon Suppression Department is proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia and the Five Elements Tracking. If we can get his help, it will be much easier."

Yu Linlang looked at Jingzhao Yin Hao Youcai expressionlessly.

Last time, Jingzhao Prefecture organized people to go to Beishan to hunt wolves or something, and they even took Tengshe into the mountains with them!
What’s the matter? The Demon Suppression Bureau can’t function without it, right?
"Master Yuhu..."

Lord Yuhu waved his hands vigorously with a stern face, "Lord Hao, the criminal escaped from your Jingzhao Prefecture. It would not be a good idea for our Demon Suppression Division to intervene at this time."

"Why don't you write a letter and give it to His Majesty, asking if His Majesty can assign Commander Wu Desi Huo to you to help you for a while."

Lord Hao looked pale.

Yu Linlang glanced at him with contempt, "Master Hao, you are not right, are you? You want to cover up such a big thing? If you can't cover it up, trust me."

"Now hurry back and write a memorial. Maybe we can send out the Wude Division and catch the prisoner as soon as possible!"

"If we keep procrastinating, the prisoner might escape into the Burning Sun Forest."

Hao Youcai quickly got up from the ground, covered his stuffy chest, and ran away as if he was escaping.

Yu Linlang shook her head, pulled Mu Zhao along and turned to leave.

Along the way, the two saw many large rat corpses lying on both sides of the road.

Yu Linlang frowned and stopped, calling Wu Yong to her side, "Why are you still keeping these things? Hurry up and have someone sweep them up and burn them."

"But the adults said that these are...all physical evidence. They might be useful if we keep them."

"Physical evidence." Yu Linlang said unhappily, "If these things are left here for too long, bacteria... evil things will breed, understand?"

"We need to dispose of their bodies as quickly as possible, burn them and bury the ashes."

"When you go back, you should also bathe with soapberry as soon as possible, wash your hands and pay attention to personal hygiene."

"My Lord said these rats are extraordinary." Wu Yong scratched his head, "They have sharp teeth and great strength, so..."

"You can't keep them!" Yu Linlang advised earnestly, "These dead things are easy to deteriorate. If you leave them around without doing anything, it will easily cause an epidemic."

When they heard the word "epidemic", the faces of the yamen runners all changed drastically.

"Hurry up and tell your Lord Hao that we must burn everything. Don't leave any alive! Clean them up together. When burning, have your people wear hand protection and face towels. Don't get close. Use tools. Do you understand tools? A long pole, a rake, anything will do."

"If you really want to keep something, ask the painter to come over and draw this thing first. It will serve as evidence. Do you understand? Go quickly! It's so hot now. If you don't want to get sick, just do as I say."

Seeing everyone nodding, Mu Zhao's blood pressure rose a little. He could no longer bear it and shouted, "Why don't you do what Lord Yuhu said? If Jingzhao Yin blames you, just say that it was me who asked you to burn it. Tell him to come to me directly if he has any problem!"

"Yes!" Wu Yong nodded heavily and led the yamen runners to find tools to work. (End of this chapter)
