Chapter 206 Mo Yu, bite him!
The government office was fine, how come it was robbed?
Hou Yuanji subconsciously looked at Lu Wanyin.
As soon as he met her half-smile, he instantly knew the answer.
He immediately made a plan and said, "The prefect of Fanzhou has fled for fear of punishment. I have already sent people to hunt him down. As his family members, you are guilty of knowing the crime and not reporting it. You are confined to the government office until I report it to His Majesty and then make a decision."
The scene fell silent again.
Not to mention the magistrate's family members, even Lu Wanyin didn't expect that he would do such a thing with such confidence.
It turns out that the dude’s years of blaming others and acting tough were not in vain.
The people in the government office were confused: "How...how could this happen? There must be a misunderstanding."
Except for the master, no one present had ever been to the inn.
The only master who knew the situation clearly was mentally unstable at this time.
"Master, Master, please say something."
Someone got anxious and quickly pushed the master to the front.
The lawyer acted as if he couldn't see anything and kept muttering, "There's a ghost, there's a ghost."
"Master Hou, you have to take charge of us. Everything was fine before, but the thief not only scared me, but also emptied our entire government office."
Afraid that Hou Yuanji wouldn't believe him, a small official in the government office knelt on the ground and swore, "It's really been emptied out. Even the wall paint is gone, and the grass has been scraped away."
Hou Yuanji was shocked.
He will get angry with anyone who says Lu Wanyin is not a goddess.
Normal people can do this.
Lu Wanyin leaned against Xie Jingci and ate melon seeds with an expressionless face.
No matter what she does, she doesn't want to shovel.
But she has a big family and a whole space to feed animals, so she has to raise more kinds of grass.
Hou Yuanji admired him in his heart, but his face was full of astonishment: "What kind of thief is this? It's obviously the Fanzhou prefect who absconded with the money. With so many guards, it would be easy for him to empty the government office."
Everyone was dumbfounded again, "This..."
Hou Yuanji pursued the enemy with his victory: "Or else, tell me, where did the Fanzhou prefect and all his trusted yamen runners go? Were they swallowed up by a giant python that fell from the sky?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant, but, but..."
He thought for a long time but couldn't say anything.
That’s true.
With such a big incident, where is the prefect?
In just a short while, the four prisoners who were brought into the government office for interrogation became the embodiment of justice.
The prefect who was questioning the crime became a fugitive.
The escorts who were waiting at the inn were called in at some point.
The family and servants of the Fanzhou prefect were also confined to the backyard of the government office and watched by escorts, and were not allowed to go anywhere.
After everyone was taken away, Xie Jingci ordered Xuan Qi: "Send a few people over here to keep an eye on them."
He did not trust these escorts.
Lu Wanyin stared at Hou Yuanji: "Why are you so excited?"
Hou Yuanji quickly restrained the expression on his face.
He didn't last more than five seconds before grinning again: "Nothing, just a little excited."
Just now when Lu Wanyin left, she told Mo Yu to be obedient and said that Hou Yuanji was their own for the time being.
Xie Jingci was busy delivering a big gift to the prefect of Fanzhou, so only Hou Yuanji was left to command Mo Yu.
He had been with Mo Yu for quite some time, and it was common for him to be frightened and run around the world.
This was his first time conducting.
Mo Yu was really obedient, and he named everything he pointed at.
This feeling is so great.
Even now, he still gets excited when he thinks about it.
Lu Wanyin couldn't understand his current surging mood: "How are you going to arrange this matter later?"
Hou Yuanji was startled.
These two people must have some thoughts and ideas, but they want to ask him how to deal with it.
A test, definitely a test.
After thinking it over several times, Hou Yuanji confirmed that he was right, and then he carefully stated his plan: "What the general said is the best excuse.
I sent a letter back to the capital, saying that the prefect of Fanzhou was colluding with other countries and wanted to disrupt the court order.
After I discovered it, the spy took the prefect hostage.
The prefect of Fanzhou is an important official in my court, and I dare not deal with him arbitrarily. I want to escort him to the capital and let Your Majesty decide.
But the thief took advantage of my hesitation and kidnapped the Fanzhou prefect, then brutally murdered him and disappeared without a trace."
He finished speaking in one breath and looked at Lu Wanyin cautiously: "What do you think?"
Lu Wanyin raised her eyes, briefly exchanged glances with Xie Jingci, then dropped her gaze to Hou Yuanji: "That's right, but let that thief die too. If the dog emperor wants a corpse, send one to him. Only death can put this matter to rest."
On the road of exile, there is a lack of everything, but there is no lack of corpses.
Hou Yuanji quickly agreed, "Yes."
He hesitated for a moment, but mustered up the courage to speak softly, "I just don't know if there is any evidence for what the general said before."
Fearing they might misunderstand, Hou Yuanji quickly explained, "It's not that I don't trust you two, but this guy has some connections in the capital and is even connected to the Qi Xuan Marquis Mansion. Even our Hou family can't completely suppress this matter with just words."
How could Lu Wanyin not know the reason?
She smiled slightly and took out two pieces of paper from her sleeve: "Why is there no evidence?"
"These are the letters between the Fanzhou prefect and the governor discussing kidnapping and sending people to the palace. Please deliver them."
Seeing Hou Yuanji accepted it, she reminded him again: "Just put an end to this matter and let Qi Xuanhou Mansion suffer this loss by itself. No need to say more.
After all, we are not in the capital now. If we push the Qi Xuanhou Mansion too far, it will be like a cornered dog jumping over the wall, which would be inappropriate."
There will be time to deal with them later.
It is better not to attract the attention of everyone in the capital to the exile team for now.
Hou Yuanji was deeply moved: "Yes, thank you, ma'am."
He felt that Lu Wanyin's instructions must have been made for the sake of their Hou family.
After all, the people she cared about had already left the capital.
And with her magical powers, she is not afraid of anyone coming to investigate.
In addition to being worried about their Hou family being implicated, what else could be the reason for this?
Sure enough, it feels good to hug the right thigh.
The family can be protected, and she can also rely on her power to order Mo Yu around.
Really impressive.
Hou Yuanji was suddenly so moved that his eyes filled with tears, which left Lu Wanyin puzzled.
What's wrong with this guy?
She casually threw the remaining half handful of melon seeds to him and said, "This is a reward for you. Those people who are locked up in the government office should be carefully examined. If there are any good ones, pick them out."
Hou Yuanji immediately responded: "Yes!"
Seeing that Xie Jingci had finished explaining things to Xuan Qi, Lu Wanyin stood up and walked towards the government office: "I'll leave everything here to you."
Hou Yuanji was about to respond again when Lu Wanyin suddenly remembered something: "Oh right..."
She flipped her hand, and a colorful snake wrapped around her wrist.
"Take good care of it these days. I guess you'll be able to use it soon."
She handed the snake forward and stuffed a few eggs in it: "This is its food for the next two days."
