In Wu City Prefecture's yamen.
Wang Dong worriedly looked at the emaciated Su Mu lying on the bed and said, "You still haven't recovered from your loss, but that sounds too … …" Sir Lin said that they might set off in two days, heading to the next county. From what I see, we shouldn't stay here with them. If we stay here, we can rest for a few more days, so that you can continue to recuperate. "
Su Mu knew that Wang Dong was worried about her health, but she didn't want to give up on Lin Yi, a ship that was floating in the ocean. Perhaps, she had seized this opportunity to make the Su family look normal.
"I'm fine. I think a lot of people know about our investigation in Wu City. If we chase after the soldiers, it would be hard for us to escape." Moreover, if we don't go with them this time, we might never encounter such a good opportunity again in the future. Defend, I don't want to give up this opportunity, I want to avenge my parents and brother. " When Su Mu mentioned this, unavoidably, his eyes became moist.
This was the first time Su Mu told Wang Yu his thoughts in such a straightforward manner.
Wang looked at the young girl in front of him, who had just turned 30 not long ago. Her frame was so thin that it could not fit into her body. Her entire face was no longer as round and glossy as it was in the capital, and it looked like it had lost its shape.
She said lightly, "Wei Zhi, when I tried that case today, I couldn't help but think that there shouldn't be a person like Zhu Chusheng, who would tolerate the murder of his mother's unfilial son. I also didn't believe that there would be someone as loyal as Mother Liu who would poison himself for their master."
"However, a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in my mind. Like that poison, I imprisoned you, causing you, who was supposed to be married and set up a business, to hide and flee with me like a wanderer …"
"Su Mu, you don't have to say all this. We grew up together, and I treated you like my own sister. I was already on good terms with my father, so how can I stand idly by when something happens to the Su family?" Wang Mu interrupted Su Mu and said, "I understand what you mean. No matter what you choose in the future, I will definitely help you until the Su Clan goes down the drain. Just take care of your health and don't think too much about it. "
Wang Dong left the bedroom, leaving behind an independent space for Su Mu to rest in.
His right hand took out the red string jade pendant from his neck and muttered, "Father, Mother, if both of you are alive, then help You'er find the real culprit as soon as possible and help the Su Clan fight back."
Wang Yu, who was waiting in the courtyard, paced back and forth.
He came to the courtyard to wait for Lin and Bao to return. He wanted to ask them if he could stay two more days before leaving. He really couldn't bear for Su Mu to drag his sick body along.
In the end, before anyone could return to the residence, a bailiff rushed in from the front yard.
From far away, he shouted towards the king, "My lord, my lord, there are soldiers at the gates who claim to be from the capital. They say they have come to Wu City to hunt down the suspect."
Lin Yi had privately disposed of the prefecture overseer's bribes, and had only told the public that the old county magistrate had returned home with an illness, but the new orders from the higher-ups had yet to arrive. The entire yamen fell into a state of helplessness. However, the yamen runners understood that Lin and Bao and the other two had noble backgrounds, so they directly followed their lead, honorably addressing them as' milord '.
Hearing this, Wang Feng was startled. He quickly explained the situation and rushed to Su Mu's residence, "Let's go to the restaurant to look for Mister Lin first before sending people to deal with it."
It seemed that it was as Su Mu said. The two of them had already stayed in Wu City for too long and the soldiers had actually found this place. At this moment, leaving was impossible. There were traces of soldiers and officials within a radius of five kilometers.
"Su Mu, the pursuers are here." Wang Yu went straight to the point, he could not care about anything else.
Su Mujing, who had just fallen asleep for a short period of time, felt light as soon as she said this, suddenly losing all sleepiness. "Sir Lin, Brother Bao, have you returned?"
"I've already ordered people to search for him. I wonder if we can make it back." Wang Tong was naturally anxious.
Su Muwen comforted her, "No need to rush. We are living in the county magistrate court right now. No matter how bold they are, they wouldn't dare to come by force."
"However, if I am to recognize the portrait in their hands … then …" Wang Yu was worried about that.
When they were being pursued, the Ministry of Public Affairs had sent people to spend two portraits of them. Su Mu was not bad, but he was still able to directly match up to Wang Dong while disguised as a man.
Su Mu leaned against the headboard of the bed. Her lips were so pale that it was devoid of blood. However, there was an incomparable certainty in her eyes. "Since the crown prince has promised to help you and me, then let's make a bet."
At the front hall of the county magistrate court.
The leader of the officers said impatiently to the bailiff, "How much longer do we have to wait? "Wu Cheng is only the size of a palm in total. Even if your master started from the beginning, isn't he already at the end of his journey?"
The young bailiff knew that the officials in the capital were bigger than the public officials, so he didn't dare to rashly provoke them. He could only nod and smile coyly.
"Who dares to make a ruckus here?" Lin Yi Xin walked into the hall.
That soldier thought that Lin Yi was just an ordinary official. Seeing Lin Yi's arrogant tone, he wanted to show him some respect, "Yo, the County Magistrate of Wu has arrived?"
He deliberately bit down on the word 'County Magistrate', and the followers behind him immediately burst into laughter.
"Which military camp do you belong to? How dare you act so rudely?" Seeing this officer's taunting tone and how he dared to offend Lin Yi, Bao Fu Cheng could not help but step forward and speak.
When the leader heard this, he despised the two even more. At first glance, he thought that they had some background, but since they had asked such a useless question, it would be better to think of a way to curry favor with him.
Immediately, the soldier said disdainfully, "Ignorant people fighting with each other is only fit to be a county magistrate in this Wu City. I told you that I came from Yu Cheng's valiant camp, but you didn't know where either. "
When Lin Yi heard the words "Yun Che's Brave Camp", his thick eyebrows knitted together.
Only important members of the imperial court above the fourth rank could enter the military camp and train themselves. They originally wanted to nurture a great general of the imperial family, but now …
"How could a brave battalion bring up a mediocre person like you?" Lin Yi's tone was indifferent, but Bao Fusheng was already aware of the anger in his words.
As for the valiant camp that the royal family had always been proud of, there had once been a third generation martial general pillar. It was normal for it to disappoint the crown prince now.
However, when did the leader of the soldiers ever hear such harsh words? All along the way, many disciples came over like the stars in the sky, "You're courting death! How dare you insult me? "
Seeing how that person seemed to want to pounce on him, Bao Fusheng felt it beneath him to fight against such a person. After receiving Lin Yi's approval, he took out a command medallion from his sleeve and showed it to the official.
He opened his eyes wide, and the look of disbelief on his face turned into fear. His legs grew weaker, and he gradually kneeled on the ground, wailing as he fought with his head.
"This official has eyes but is unable to see anything. I beg the Crown Prince to forgive me!"
