If you want to figure it out, that's not impossible, but you have to get through it first.
This person's plan was quite clever, but Lin Jiujiu was not as easy to manipulate as they thought.
Before these men could even put the shackles on Lin Jiujiu, she was kicked away.
Suddenly, the two people who hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly emerged from somewhere.
The one who made the kick was Tantai Yueming, while Baili Chenyuan stood guard in front of Lin Jiujiu like a knight.
"I'd like to see who dares to lay a finger on her."
Lin Jiujiu looked up at the two of them and thought to herself that she didn't need their help at all.
Actually, after Lin Jiujiu went to see Baili Chenyuan that day, the two of them did not appear in front of the Lin family, but it did mean they did not come over.
Instead, he had been watching from the shadows the whole time, and Tantai Yueming had no idea what Baili Chenyuan was up to.
But since he didn't show up, he didn't make that eye-catching bag either.
Today, they had only just arrived when they saw this official abusing his power. Tantai Yueming immediately felt that an opportunity had come.
Without thinking, he grabbed Baili Chenyuan and rushed out.
In fact, Lin Jiujiu knew that they were watching them in secret, but she didn't care since the two of them didn't appear to disturb the Lin family.
But then the two of them suddenly appeared and blocked her way, and she suddenly felt that she might have gone a bit too far.
Maybe they didn't have any ulterior motives, they just wanted to make friends.
Furthermore, if Baili Chenyuan really has some connection with Xiao Tianyi, perhaps he's not after him, but rather the little bean curd.
Lin Jiujiu felt a tiny bit of guilt, but it quickly dissipated.
The two officers who had been kicked away took a long time to get up from the ground. They were so focused on their pain that they didn't hear what Baili Chenyuan said.
They even threatened to teach him a lesson.
"Brothers, this guy even dares to lay a hand on the police. If we don't teach him a lesson today, he'll never know who's in charge here."
He waved his hand and was about to rush forward, but he quickly realized that apart from the person who had also been kicked away, none of the people who came with him moved.
The leader looked at Tantai Yueming and Baili Chenyuan in disbelief.
"You, you, you..."
You've been talking for ages and still haven't come up with a conclusion.
In the end, it was his companion who asked the question for him.
"This gentleman calls himself 'this king,' may I ask what his title is?"
The person who spoke even clasped their hands in a respectful bow.
After all, no matter which prince arrives, they are not people who can afford to offend him.
Upon hearing this, Tantai Yueming scoffed and took out a waist token from his sleeve, throwing it over.
The bright yellow waist tag felt heavy in my hand, clearly made of pure gold.
On the front is the character '令' (command), but on the back are the two large characters '逍遥' (free and easy).
Upon seeing the token, the man dared not say a word, immediately knelt down, and then held the token high above his head with both hands.
"This humble official was unaware of the arrival of the Prince of Xiaoyao and has offended you greatly. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
As for Baili Chenyuan and the others, they dared not ask any more questions.
Even the renowned Prince Xiaoyao of the Great Yan Dynasty dared not act recklessly; his status must be high, not low.
If it weren't for the Emperor's advanced age, they would have even suspected that this person might be the Emperor himself.
Upon hearing that this person was not only a prince, but also the carefree Prince who would never reason with anyone, the leader's knees immediately buckled.
"Thump."
He knelt down with a shout.
The others accompanying him also hurriedly knelt down.
They cried out repeatedly, "Your Highness, please forgive me! Your Highness, please forgive me!"
Seeing their behavior, Tantai Yueming also felt bored. She turned to look at Baili Chenyuan and saw that he was not happy. She knew that he did not want to let these people go.
With a wave of his hand, two men in black landed in front of him.
"Your Highness."
Tantai Yueming pointed to the person on the ground and said, "Take the person to the county government office, explain the situation, and let Magistrate Zhang handle it according to the law."
The leader had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, when he heard Baili Chenyuan speak calmly.
“Knowing the law and breaking it is an even more serious crime. Zhang Qing dared to cover it up, so he doesn’t need to be the county magistrate anymore.”
Those people originally thought that since Magistrate Zhang was a newly appointed official, and the county still needed to rely on them for many things, he would definitely help them out if this matter fell into his hands.
Spending some money later might turn a big problem into a small one, and a small one into nothing at all.
But now, hearing what this person said, they know they will follow up on the matter afterward, and their initial hope of getting away with it has vanished.
Being punished is a small matter; I'm afraid I'll lose my job in the end.
Over the years, they have often abused their positions as constables to run rampant in the countryside. If they were to lose their jobs, who knows how many people would be waiting to kick them while they're down.
As a result, those who had previously addressed each other as brothers suddenly began to shirk responsibility.
"Your Highness, please forgive us. This was all Li Zhuo'an's idea. He forced us to do it."
"Yes, we have no past grudges or recent feuds with Madam Lin, so why would we wrong her for no reason?"
"It was all because Li Zhuo'an's wife coveted Shanglin Niangzi's property and wanted Li Zhuo'an to take her to the yamen and force her to hand over the things."
"Yes, yes, her wife is the eldest sister-in-law of Lin Niangzi's ex-husband. Some time ago, her brother tried to bully Lin Niangzi but was defeated instead, so she instigated Li Zhuoan to avenge her brother."
With each person speaking, the leader's expression grew increasingly grim.
He never imagined that the people who used to call him brother would betray him so completely.
As these people revealed more and more information, Lin Jiujiu lost interest.
After all, once she saw that the person who came was Li Zhuoan, she knew why she had returned.
Although Baili Chenyuan did not turn around, he seemed to sense her impatience and released a burst of spiritual energy, directly silencing these people.
"take away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two men in black used whatever they had on hand to tie up the men. They then borrowed two oxcarts from Foreman Jiang and took them, along with the fugitive they had captured, to the yamen.
Although this farce didn't have any real impact, it did delay the auspicious time for raising the roof beam.
Seeing that her father seemed somewhat unhappy, Lin Jiujiu calculated for a moment before speaking.
"Dad, there are two auspicious times today. Besides the second quarter of Chen time, the second quarter of Chen time is also quite good. Why don't we ask my eldest brother to go to town and buy a few more strings of firecrackers?"
Let's set off a few more banners to ward off bad luck.
When Lin's father heard what she said, he realized it made sense.
Otherwise, even if the house is successfully built, today's incident will still be a thorn in his side, and he won't feel good about it.
Seeing that his son hadn't made a move for a long time, Lin's father got so angry that he kicked him.
"Didn't you hear what Jiu Jiu said? Hurry up and go!"
Lin Ze wasn't angry at being kicked by his father; instead, he happily ran towards the village entrance.
Upon seeing this, Foreman Jiang quickly called out, "Uncle Lin, I'll go with you, let's hurry up and catch the cart."
Lin Jiujiu had no objection to this.
Turning her head, she saw that Baili Chenyuan and Tantai Yueming had not left. Lin Jiujiu thought that the two of them had helped her just now, so she said.
"Today is the day my house is having its roof beam raised. Please stay and have a drink."
