What are you doing here?

Lin Wenyao was also somewhat surprised to see the lean and wiry constable.

"Young Master! I was afraid that you would be too saddened and uneasy, so I waited outside the door for your orders!"

The lean constable bowed deeply, showing utmost respect.

"Not bad, very good."

Seeing this, Lin Wenyao nodded repeatedly, then sighed, "With that bastard Lin Tong gone, I really feel like I've lost someone who's eloquent and capable. It would be good if you could stay here, but you still have your official position..."

The opportunity is right in front of us, if not now, when?

If it weren't for the excruciating pain from his groin wound, the lean constable would have jumped up and said, "If I can serve the young master, I'll resign from my official position!"

The person in front of him now is the future magistrate of Yongzhou. It would be better to serve him well and stay by his side as a dog than to be a lowly constable in the government office!

"Alright, since that's the case, you'll stay by my side from now on! As for Lin Tong, he'll be a scapegoat!"

Lin Wenyao gave a sinister smile, while the lean constable grinned from ear to ear.

You killed my brother, I'll take your life!

"I will do my utmost to serve you, young master!"

Lin Wenyao smiled and nodded, quite satisfied: the lives of the rich are so simple, unpretentious and boring. Just as he was about to kill one dog, another dog wagged its tail and ran over.

"As you know, I will be staying at home for the next few days to observe mourning for my father and keep vigil, so I cannot go out."

The lean constable nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice: "Young Master is extremely respectful to Master, which is well-known far and wide. I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as him!"

Lin Wenyao was not flattered by his sycophancy and continued, "However, if I let the murderers who killed my father go unpunished and let them enjoy themselves for another day, I will feel uneasy for another day. I dare not even dream of seeing my father, for fear that he will blame me for this. I am filled with trepidation!"

You should be terrified, after all, it was your idea that led to your father's death.

The lean constable thought this to himself, but his face remained very serious as he listened attentively without interrupting.

"So, go to the government office and bring that young lady here to me. I want to interrogate her alone!"

"..."

The lean constable was taken aback for a moment, then clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Young Master, it is admirable that you are still thinking about your work despite your low spirits!"

"Heh, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

Lin Wenyao waved his hand, then said in a low voice, "I'll bear this hardship and fatigue alone! So when you bring people back, be sure to move quietly and don't disturb the others!"

The lean constable was a seasoned veteran and naturally understood Lin Wenyao's thoughts.

They interrogated the suspect overnight in order to find the murderer.

And he specifically sought out that beautiful young woman.

Hehe, those who know, know!

"Leave this to me, young master! But I must remind you, young master, that with such a busy schedule, you must take care of your health!"

Lin Wenyao patted his waist, smiled, and said nothing.

The lean constable didn't waste any time, took his leave, and pushed open the door. Just as he was about to leave, a soldier rushed in in a panic.

"Young...Young Master, no...no, something terrible has happened!"

Lin Wenyao raised an eyebrow, surprised, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ah Kun and...that woman, were...kidnapped and taken away!"

"How dare you kidnap someone inside the government office!"

Lin Wenyao slammed his fist on the table and asked, "How dare they rob the government office? How many people did they send?"

The yamen is a very important place in the city, guarded by soldiers and constables. Although it is a bit empty at night, with only the soldiers on duty remaining there, it is not a place that ordinary people can break in!

After asking that question, Lin Wenyao searched his memory again.

Who else in the city has such power and such audacity to raid the government office at night?

After thinking it over, he still couldn't come up with a solution. When he looked again at the constable who had brought the message, he was still standing there stammering and hadn't answered.

Lin Wenyao frowned, his temper flaring up immediately.

The lean constable was quick to read people's expressions. Seeing Lin Wenyao's impatient look, he kicked the messenger directly: "Young master is asking you a question, are you deaf?"

"Reporting to...Young Master, there's only...one person!"

The messenger was also one of the officers on duty at the yamen tonight. He was embarrassed to speak up after someone had broken through the yamen and kidnapped someone.

"one person?"

Lin Wenyao was shocked after hearing this.

"She's still... a woman..."

"..."

Can you believe that a woman could rob a prestigious government office?

Lin Wenyao was both angry and shocked after hearing this, feeling that this matter was probably not so simple. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What does this woman look like? Did she leave her name? Could she be a master from one of the four major sects?"

Lin Wenyao wasn't too worried about offending wealthy merchants or officials of the same rank, but if that young master Akun had connections with the four major sects, he should carefully consider whether it was worth offending him!

The four major sects not only receive the protection of the imperial court, but their members are also highly skilled in martial arts. If you really offend them, they can easily take your life with just one sword. More importantly, the imperial court will only turn a blind eye!

It's terrifying to think about, it's best to find out the truth!

The messenger shook his head: "It shouldn't be her. Experts from the four major sects always wear specific sect uniforms when they travel, but she's wearing a black outfit. She doesn't seem like someone from the four major sects; she looks more like a bandit!"

"Mountain bandits..."

Lin Wenyao muttered a few words, then his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed with delight, "Could it be bandits from Mangshan?"

Although the bandits of Mangshan Mountain are difficult to deal with, they are much weaker than the people of the four major sects. Moreover, Lin Wenyao can fight them without any worries!

"This...I'm not quite sure..."

The messenger stammered, which Lin Wenyao had long been annoyed with, so he kicked him to the ground.

"You bunch of constables are utterly useless, good-for-nothings, you're not even as good as a dog!"

The messenger constable: "..."

The lean and wiry constable: "..."

Lin Wenyao ignored their thoughts and ordered the lean constable, "Prepare the horses. I want to see what kind of woman dares to save someone in front of me!"

"But, young master... this..."

The lean constable pointed to the mourning hall and hesitated.

"I can't worry about that now! The murderer who killed my father is about to escape. If I'm still here, my father's spirit in heaven won't rest in peace!"

"Yes, young master!"

Next, Lin Wenyao, dressed in mourning clothes, mounted his horse and, accompanied by a lean constable, galloped toward the city gate.
