After staying in Wu City for a few more days and waiting for the new County Command, Lin Yi and his group decided to explore the vicinity of Wu City. Originally, Wang Lin was riding a horse with Lin Yi and Bao Fusheng. However, Wang Lin wasn't at ease with Su Mu's body and insisted on riding a horse carriage with her, so it was convenient for him to keep an eye on her at any time.
"Siren, don't go back to the Laozi case this time. You have to take good care of your health. That's the best plan." Wang Dong was afraid that Su Mu would trap some other case and heavily injure the foundation of his body.
After nurturing her for so many days, Su Mu's face finally became a bit smoother. With a smile, he said, "We have to do some work if we want to follow a rich person. Moreover, this case isn't something that we meet just because we want to meet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage came to a sudden halt and stopped.
Logically speaking, Lin Fan and Bao were riding on horses to clear the way, so there shouldn't be any accidents happening. Unable to endure his impatience, Su Mu slowly lifted the curtain on the left side of the carriage and flicked it out.
She happened to be looking at the side of the street where several sturdy servants walked in front, followed by a group of boys around ten years old. These boys all had delicate and pretty faces, it was obvious that they were children who had studied the Four Books and Five Classics in a private school.
Su Mu couldn't help but be surprised. Why would such a group of boys be surrounded by such bulky servants? It was as if they wanted to bring them somewhere else. The boys also lowered their heads and silently followed behind the servants.
After the helpless child was forcefully taken away like this, Su Mu couldn't help but tighten his grip on the curtain.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to stop him, Wang Dong lightly tugged on the corner of her clothes, signalling her not to act rashly.
Sitting on the horse, Lin Yi naturally also saw the scene on the street. Beside him, Bao Fu Sheng directly said: "Your Highness, do you want to make a move?"
"Since this street is so long, why don't we take a look again?" Lin Yi didn't shake his head or agree. He quietly watched the scene on the street, as if he was waiting for something to happen.
As Lin Yi expected, when the group of people arrived halfway in a grandiose manner, a few women rushed out from the crowd on the street as if they had heard the news. They then ran in front of the youths in large strides.
"You can't take my child away, why are you doing this!" One of the women, who was carrying a boy, shouted angrily at the servants.
In the end, the Ding Clan member smiled sinisterly, clenching his fist and said, "Your son conspired to kill my young master, and is not allowed to take him away? Let me tell you, if you don't kill them directly, you can consider it the benevolence of my master! "
"Nonsense, you don't have evidence. Why do you say we killed him?" A young man stood behind the woman and said timidly as if he was afraid. He lacked confidence.
The servant laughed when he heard this: "Evidence, our master's words are evidence!"
With that, he stretched out his hand to pull the women away, wanting to take the teenagers away.
There were countless people watching from three to three layers on the street. However, there was no longer one person who came forward to persuade them. To put it in a fair way, they were just standing by the street watching the fun that had nothing to do with them.
Upon seeing this, Su Mu, who had already walked down from the carriage, couldn't help but want to argue. However, before Wang Lin could pull her back, an old woman pulled her back.
The slightly old and hoarse voice muttered next to Su Mu's ear, "Little gongzi, you're courting death! You must be from outside the city, right? "How dare you meddle in the affairs of this Official Wu?"
"Officer Wu?" Su Mu asked curiously.
When the old woman saw that Su Mu was indeed not a local, she kindly explained, "He is a local tyrant. He relies on his family's wealth and good relations with the county magistrate. He often commits crimes and no one dares to offend him!"
"Then we'll just let them take these children away for no reason at all?" Su Mu didn't understand.
The old woman, who was holding onto a walking stick, sighed, "What can we do then? Furthermore, they were not going to take him away for no reason. It would be a disaster if Official Wu believed that these children had killed his son! "Let me tell you …"
"Mother, what are you talking about here!" He turned his head and smiled at Su Mu, "My apologies, little gongzi. My mother is old and her mind isn't clear. Please listen carefully and don't take it seriously."
With that, he pulled the old woman away and disappeared into the crowd.
Su Mu, who was originally standing at the beginning, slowly tidied up the old woman's words. As he turned his head, he saw Lin Yi's scrutinizing gaze.
After meeting his gaze, Lin Yi indifferently looked away and said something to the bag beside him.
The next moment, he saw the floating bag. Wearing a white robe, it was as if a god had descended to the world. He lightly tapped his flying technique and flew in front of the head servant.
"Release him!" Bao Fu Cheng said straightforwardly.
The servant looked at the body of the bag and laughed disdainfully, "Why are there so many suicides today? If we go back to the mansion, we'll get into trouble again and again." Brothers, it seems that I have to show some respect before I can continue to establish my prestige in Huai Liu County! "
After he finished speaking, the servant waved his hand towards the back and gathered all his brothers behind him. The surrounding people knew that they were about to fight and cause trouble so they quickly ran in all directions and closed their doors to return home.
In that moment of chaos, only Lin Yi's group and the servants were left on the streets. Even the women carrying their children took advantage of the chaos to pull their children away.
"Alright, now that all the prisoners have run away, if we don't beat you up and bring you back, we brothers won't be able to explain ourselves to the lord." The head servant loosened his muscles.
However, Bao Fu Cheng didn't even want to make a move. His gaze fell on Lin Yi who was riding the horse, eagerly waiting for the crown prince to come down and save him.
However, the Crown Prince didn't come, but saw Su Mu standing up straight. He placed his bag of lives behind him and said to the group of Rakshasi servants, "Does your master want to find out who killed his son, or do you just want to find a few more ghosts to die with? "If you want to find the culprit, I can find him."
"Where is it cool, where are you going? Don't make trouble here, you little fart. Do you know what a murderer is?" You have to find the real culprit! " The servant looked at Su Mu's weak appearance and frowned impatiently.
"How dare you! Do you know who you pushed?"
Lin Yi, who hadn't said anything until now, walked to Su Mu's side and said to the servants with a serious tone.
The servants who were taken aback looked at each other, not daring to be sure. After all, the one who had spoken had an extraordinary bearing.
Thus, the few people on the street silently faced off against each other.
