Chapter 731 Can you help me catch the person who harmed my father?
"father!"
County Magistrate Chen was anxious, so he pushed Lin Xinxin out. Lin Xinxin didn't understand why, but she cooperated with County Magistrate Chen and immediately said:
“Dad, I am also your daughter. My child is only eight years old. Don’t harm us because of your sister’s nonsense.”
"master!"
Mrs. Lin vaguely guessed why Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan came here. She didn't know much, but she knew that this matter was not simple.
It might even have something to do with her good son-in-law. For the sake of her daughter, she held Mr. Lin's arm.
"I am sorry to my sister, but Xinxin is innocent. She is your daughter. Can you be fair?"
"father."
Lin Jiaojiao was really confused. Madam Lin always coaxed her to find handsome men and she had no idea about other things going on in the mansion.
The two daughters looked very similar, and Mr. Lin was in a trance for a moment, but he soon thought of his most beloved wife.
Jiaojiao has already become infamous. If...
He didn't dare to think about it, and could only avoid the gazes of County Magistrate Chen and Lin Xinxin and take a deep breath.
"Princess, Prince, I am willing..."
"Bang……"
A sharp arrow shot directly towards Master Lin, and Song Yi reacted and stepped forward to stop it.
However, he was still a step too slow. The sharp arrow pierced directly into Mr. Lin's heart. In the blink of an eye, the most important witness was eliminated.
Jiang Wan looked at County Magistrate Chen angrily. County Magistrate Chen looked frightened and shouted.
"Protect the princess and the prince!"
"It's quite convincing."
Jiang Wan snorted lightly, obviously angry, while Song Jiuyuan held her hand and comforted her softly.
"Don't be angry, he will get into trouble!"
"father!"
Lin Jiaojiao had never encountered as many things since she was a child as she had encountered today. She collapsed and hugged Master Lin.
Mr. Lin was breathing out more than breathing in, and he was staring straight at County Magistrate Chen who was not far away.
"Be careful...Chen..."
He died before he could finish his sentence. Even though Lin Jiaojiao had a simple mind, she realized that this matter was not simple.
She glared at County Magistrate Chen and Lin Xinxin fiercely, and then glanced at the dazed Mrs. Lin.
"It's you...it's you who killed my father!"
"master!"
Mrs. Lin wailed. After all, Mr. Lin was the person she truly loved. How could she not be sad?
"father!"
Lin Xinxin looked at the person beside her in shock, feeling chilled and frightened.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have any evidence. It hurts my heart to see Dad like this."
County Magistrate Chen was a ruthless and quick person. Jiang Wan was very glad that she had taken the evidence, otherwise she and Song Jiuyuan would not have been able to use this crime to deal with him.
Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate and just when Jiang Wan was about to produce the evidence, Lin Jiaojiao suddenly seemed to wake up.
"Princess, I know that Daddy has a warehouse. He once said that if he unfortunately leaves me one day, this is the place for me to take refuge."
She held up her five fingers and looked at Jiang Wan expectantly, "Can you help me catch the person who harmed my father?"
“I’ve already caught him.”
Jiang Wan raised her chin slightly and pointed outside. Song Yi went out to look for someone, but he didn't move so quickly.
The man shot the hidden arrow, so he must be hiding now, afraid of being exposed.
"Write down the address of the warehouse."
Song Jiuyuan asked someone to bring writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. County Magistrate Chen panicked again, and a trace of distortion flashed across his handsome face.
Then he pinched Lin Xinxin and said, "Xinxin, you don't want our child to never grow up, do you?"
He committed a heinous crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of his clan.
Lin Xinxin was shocked. Although she hated him for ruthlessly killing her father to silence him, she still had a child.
Thinking of this, Lin Xinxin quickly rushed towards Lin Jiaojiao, "Why?
He doted on you the most, and even left you a way out before he died. You are both his daughters. It’s not fair, it’s so unfair!”
"Yes, half of the things in that warehouse belong to us!"
County Magistrate Chen's eyes lit up, and his people could go and see if there was anything that shouldn't be there.
"What are you arguing about?"
Song Jiuyuan glanced at them with disdain, "If these things are stolen goods, none of you will get any."
"Mrs. Chen."
Huang Jie and another man who stayed behind protected Lin Jiaojiao, and Lin Jiaojiao quickly wrote down the address.
"Princess."
She quickly handed the address to Jiang Wan, and Jiang Wan waved her hand, and Song Er jumped out from the dark.
"Take someone to have a look."
Everyone was shocked to find that there was someone protecting them in the dark. County Magistrate Chen nervously pulled his sleeves tightly.
The reason why they were able to successfully silence the witnesses was because they took the secret guards by surprise. It won't be so easy next time.
Bang bang bang bang...
Suddenly, someone outside was beating a drum to complain about his grievances. County Magistrate Chen led two people and said to the yamen runners:
"Today I have to deal with the prince's affairs, first..."
"No need, let that person in, I will see what's going on."
Song Jiuyuan had a rough idea in his mind, and sure enough, after a while, the bailiff brought Duan Si in.
As soon as he came in, he knelt down with a plop and said, "My dear officials, I beg you to make the decision!"
"What is it?"
County Magistrate Chen spoke with some impatience. He was worried whether Master Lin had hidden evidence in the warehouse, and at the moment he had no intention of seeking justice for others.
Duan Simeng kowtowed several times and complained, "I want to sue Mr. Lin of Qinniu Town for oppressing tenant farmers and concealing grain taxes!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
County Magistrate Chen never expected that this man came from Duanjia Village. He panicked and wanted to stop him but it was too late.
Song Jiuyuan gave him a cold look, and County Magistrate Chen stood there in a daze, as if someone had grabbed his neck.
"Tell me in detail."
Song Jiuyuan's eyes fell on Duan Si, and County Magistrate Chen's legs began to tremble with fear.
"Your Majesty, I don't know who sent this man as a spy. He is talking nonsense!"
"I am not a commoner!"
Duan Si seemed to realize that it was Song Jiuyuan who had the final say, and he knelt down towards Song Jiuyuan.
"I am a villager from Duanjia Village, and everything I said is true."
"Then do you know that Mr. Lin is dead?"
County Magistrate Chen rushed to talk and pointed at the corpse that Lin Jiaojiao was holding not far away, which startled Duan Si.
He looked at Mr. Lin's body in shock, "How...how could this happen?"
"It doesn't matter. Even if the other person is dead, it won't affect our efforts to find out the truth."
Jiang Wan smiled gently at Duan Si and encouraged him, "You can speak out any grievances you have."
"Princess."
County Magistrate Chen was really anxious, but Song Jiuyuan didn't give him a chance to continue speaking.
"Shut up!"
At this time Song Yi came back from outside. He shook his head at Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan, saying that they ran too fast.
It is also possible that the person was invited from outside and Song Yi came up empty-handed.
It’s not that he can’t find the person, but Song Yi is worried that County Magistrate Chen will do something bad to the prince, so the most urgent priority is to protect the prince and the princess.
Seeing that Song Yi didn't catch anyone, County Magistrate Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and almost vomited blood the next second.
Because Song Yi was standing in front of him, watching him for Song Jiuyuan.
