Chapter 432 Lin Family Lin Haobei
This young lady who appeared out of nowhere wants to find out something. It's really a fantasy.
She couldn't tell anyone who was behind them, or she would be scared to death.
Of course, his warning was just talk. Even if Su Yue didn't investigate further, they would not let her leave the county safely.
It was obvious that Su Yue was not a local, but must be from another place. Once she left here and spread the news, someone would get wind of it. If trouble arose, they would be in big trouble.
The execution of the entire family is the lightest punishment, the entire nine clans will be exterminated.
Sure enough, after hearing the leader's warning, the man on the ground didn't dare to speak. He still lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Su Yue.
Su Yue's eyes were gloomy, and she thought to herself, judging from the tone of this guy, they must be doing something for someone.
They only arrested men, and it wasn't a robbery, so what were they arresting these people for?
Is it conscription?
Or capture them to mine?
The minerals here are quite abundant, so it is very likely that we can go mining.
I think this matter is not simple.
Moreover, Su Yue also understood the meaning of the boss's words. Even if she didn't pursue the matter today, they would not let her leave safely.
But the man didn't say anything, and she had no choice but to go back and sit on the stool and wait.
On the other side, Yueying quickly found the county government office. The county town was not very big, so the county government office was easy to find.
When Yueying arrived, she immediately flew into the county government office and found the county magistrate who was already asleep.
Looking at the sleeping county magistrate, Yueying pulled her out of the quilt, then quickly flew out of the yard and headed towards the inn.
In the inn, Su Yue did not sit there idly. She covered the entire county with her mental power to see if there was anything she could gain.
But it was very late now, and the city was quiet, with only the occasional night watchman beating the watch on the street. She could not see anything unusual.
However, she saw Yueying carrying the county magistrate towards her, and her mouth twitched. When the county magistrate came to his senses, he found that he was being carried by someone. He was so angry that he started cursing immediately.
Yueying heard his arrogant and harsh scolding, then pointed out his acupoints, and in an instant the county magistrate could no longer curse.
Since the county magistrate had been arrested, Su Yue immediately used her mental power to enter the backyard of the county government office, quickly found the county magistrate's study, and moved all the things in the room into the space.
It was obvious that the county magistrate was not a good person, so she searched everywhere in the backyard of the county government office, and moved all the useful things she saw into the space.
As soon as she finished looting, Yueying flew into the inn carrying the county magistrate, threw him in front of her, and then untied his acupoints.
The yamen runners guarding the door failed to stop anyone, so Yueying rushed in with her men.
They looked stupidly at the county magistrate who was shivering with cold on the ground.
Are you asking for the county magistrate?
"Kneel down and listen to our lady's questions. If you don't obey, I will kill you."
After Yueying dropped the county magistrate, he threatened viciously.
"You're so bold... Ah, Li, Princess Li, why are you here? Why are you here?"
The county magistrate started cursing as soon as he was free. When he looked up and saw that it was Su Yue, he was so frightened that he almost bit off his tongue.
At the same time, he thought to himself, "Oh no! How could I have met Princess Li?"
If Princess Li is here, is Prince Li here too?
How unlucky I am to encounter these two giant Buddhas.
The county magistrate wanted to die.
"Li, Princess Li?"
When the yamen runners heard what the county magistrate said, they were so frightened that they almost flew away, and immediately knelt down behind the county magistrate.
No wonder this young lady was not afraid of them. It turned out to be Princess Li.
Su Yue snorted coldly, "I didn't expect you knew me. If you know me, then this will save you a lot of trouble. Explain to me clearly why you arrested people in the city in the middle of the night for no reason. What are you doing arresting these people? If you don't give me a clear explanation, I will kill you."
The county magistrate actually knew her, but she had no impression of him.
But it’s best to know her, it saves me a lot of trouble.
"This, Princess Li, no, it's not that I won't tell you, but I don't know either."
After hearing Su Yue's words, the county magistrate's heart trembled. Soon his eyes turned and he stammered.
The county magistrate had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping to get away with it in front of Su Yue. Although Su Yue's identity was there, after all, she was a woman of her generation, and what could she possibly accomplish?
He was scared just now, but now he has calmed down. Only Princess Li appeared here, so Prince Li must still be at the border.
If Prince Li were here, it wouldn't be Princess Li who came forward.
Another thing is that even if the person behind them is Prince Li, they have to think twice before facing him, let alone a woman like Princess Li.
Su Yue heard what the county magistrate said and knew that he was trying to fool her. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Since you don't want to tell me, then tell me who you are and which family in the capital are you from?"
Since he knows her, the county magistrate must be from the capital.
As long as we know which family he is from in the capital, we can dig deeper and we will definitely find out something.
"Well, I am a bastard of the Lin family, named Lin Haobei, and I have been serving as the county magistrate here for about two years.
I was able to meet Princess Li only after you returned from Northwest County. I was fortunate enough to meet Princess Li once, so I will remember it."
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Haobei revealed his identity.
The Lin family is one of the four major families in the capital. After revealing his identity, Princess Li should be able to guess that he is a member of the Lin family, one of the four major families.
Even the emperor would be wary of the power of the four major families. He hoped that after he told Su Yue about it, she would wisely give up and not pursue the matter any further.
"Oh? The Lin family of one of the four great families?"
Su Yue was a little surprised that the illegitimate son of the Lin family actually came here to serve as a county magistrate.
The four great families are very powerful, and even a bastard's son would not be able to become a small county magistrate.
Since he came here, it means that the Lin family has some plans, and they are arresting people here blatantly, either they are working for their own family, or the Lin family is working for someone else.
Even though the emperor now has only two sons, Murong Yi has fallen, and only Murong Li is left, there are still many royal family members in the royal family, and many more are eyeing the throne.
They wanted to win over a noble family, which was not difficult.
So now we need to find out whether the Lin family is working for themselves or for whom, so Su Yue asked: "Who is your Lin family working for? I won't ask about other things, just this one question, you just need to tell me."
Lin Haobei was shocked when he heard this. Su Yue actually guessed who the Lin family was working for, and it wasn't him.
It is rumored that Princess Li is not only stunningly beautiful, but also extremely intelligent. After seeing her today, I can see that the rumors are true.
Lin Haobei had sweat on his forehead at this time. It didn't matter whether he answered this question or not. As long as he investigated thoroughly, there would be nothing he couldn't find.
