There's no way, she brought too few people, so we can only make do with what we have!
"yes!"
The three guards responded quickly.
Afterwards, Lin Yuxin led people straight to the cell. Yes, Liu Haixin stuffed nearly all the people into the cell!
After hearing this, Lin Yuxin was very impressed by County Magistrate Liu's intelligence. It was safe and heat-resistant to hide down there. As long as they had enough food, they could hide for a long time.
You know, the temperature in the north city is very high now. In modern times, it would be over 30 degrees.
But it can provide good sun protection and heat protection underneath.
I just don’t know how big it is down there to accommodate so many people.
While Lin Yuxin was thinking, she led the people directly towards the innermost cell.
"Open this door."
Lin Yuxin stood at the cell door, pointed at the innermost door lock and said.
"yes!"
The guard at the side drew out his sword and swung it, breaking the lock. The main reason was that there was no key. They had not seen any officials from the county government since they came, so they guessed that the person had been taken away by Zhang Qiang.
Seeing the door was opened, Lin Yuxin walked in first. She looked around and finally fixed her eyes on the straw bed, then she said:.
"Move it away!"
The people nearby were very considerate and stepped forward to move the bed away, revealing a wooden board on the ground.
Lin Yuxin looked at the wooden board and raised her eyebrows. Liu Haixin actually built such a large passage right under Zhang Qiang's nose. He was really capable!
After the guards brought the wooden board, a passage appeared. Lin Yuxin looked at the passage and the corners of her mouth twitched. It seemed that this county government office had become an ant nest. Was it full of tunnels underneath, or what?
If the Northern Frontier really attacks, we can even start an underground war!
Lin Yuxin shook her head in amusement, then asked someone to go down and check it out first.
She sat on the straw bed and waited without any hesitation.
A quarter of an hour later, the two guards who had gone down came out of the tunnel and said:
"Princess, there are too many passages below. I can't find the way and I can't find those people!"
The guard's description was very concise. The reality was that the place down there was really like an ant nest, full of passages, so complicated that one could easily get lost if one wasn't careful.
The two of them almost got lost just now.
"Okay, just know there's an entrance here, come out!"
Lin Yuxin didn't blame them, she had already guessed what was going to happen next!
I'm afraid it's just a huge maze!
If she could use Liu Haixin, he would be a good guy.
After the two guards came out, Lin Yuxin asked them to carry the bed back, and then walked out of the cell.
The two guards who had been following Lin Yuxin looked at each other, with confusion flashing in their eyes.
A guard couldn't help but asked in a low voice:
"Princess, aren't you going to look for those common people?"
"Looking for them! Of course we should! But we won't go down to look for them. This county lord wants them to come out on their own!"
Lin Yuxin said this with gritted teeth.
She had just responded when Liu Haixin tricked her. He only told her that the people were hidden in the tunnel under the prison, but he did not tell her what was going on under the tunnel.
He was cautious, wanting to see if she, the princess, had the ability to find those common people. Because she had just seen his serious look of caring about the common people, she had thought that Liu Haixin was a good official who got things done.
As a result, I put all my heart and eyes on her! ! Very good!
"How...how can we get them out on their own?"
The guards were even more confused. Are they going to dig a tunnel?
"So...you guys...!"
Lin Yuxin raised the corners of her lips and leaned down to speak in their ears.
"yes!"
The two of them looked delighted and took the order to do their work.
Lin Yuxin turned around and went back to the study room without even looking at Liu Haixin, and walked straight to the desk.
Liu Haixin looked at Lin Yuxin coming in, raised his eyebrows, and asked curiously:
"Princess, how is it? Have all the people been found?"
"We found it. We have to thank County Magistrate Liu for digging a maze-like tunnel. The people were really well hidden."
Lin Yuxin sat down at the desk, picked up the brush, began to write a letter, and replied lightly.
"Found it? How did the princess do it?"
Liu Haixin was so anxious that he almost let the cat out of the bag. After he responded, he pursed his lips and looked at Lin Yuxin.
"Ha! County Magistrate Liu knows that he has set a trap for this princess? County Magistrate Liu is really brave. This concerns the lives of the people, and you actually set a trap for this princess. If something happens to the people, can you, Liu Haixin, bear the consequences?"
Lin Yuxin stopped the brush in her hand, looked at Liu Haixin with cold eyes, and said sternly.
Every word Lin Yuxin said touched Liu Haixin's heart. He thought that the princess looked very strange and did not believe that she could catch the King Qi Ling. He wanted to test her to see what she was capable of.
He was worried about the situation of the common people, and thought that if the princess couldn't be found, he would wait for half an hour and then find a way to go there himself.
Besides, he had people dig the tunnel, so he knew what was inside. The people there were not in danger, but he was worried that they would get sick or be poisoned by the snakes.
But he didn't expect to be discovered by the princess and suffer such a huge loss of face.
Liu Haixin's face hurt, but he deserved it.
"Princess, please forgive me. It was my negligence. I didn't think that there are too many passages below. You are not familiar with them and it is easy for you to get lost. I will take you there now."
Liu Haixin hurriedly apologized to Lin Yuxin. His little tricks were clearly seen through.
"No need, just take a rest. Now that you know where the people are, there's no need to worry!"
Lin Yuxin picked up the brush again and began to write seriously, saying nonchalantly.
"No, Princess, didn't you say that the people's snake poison needs to be cured as soon as possible? If it's too late, won't it easily hurt the brain?"
Lin Yuxin's calmness made Liu Haixin anxious. He quickly looked up at the princess and asked.
"Really? But I'm not in a hurry at this moment. County Magistrate Liu is not in a hurry, so of course I am not in a hurry either!"
Lin Yuxin said nonchalantly and continued with her actions.
After that, Lin Yuxin stopped writing letters and concentrated on writing letters.
Liu Haixin lay on the recliner, his heart was like an ant on a hot pot, he was very anxious, he wanted to open his mouth, he didn't know how to open it.
Lin Yuxin was writing a letter to the emperor, describing what happened here, and that King Qi Ling was in her hands, so the emperor had to make the decision on how to seize him.
Lin Yuxin finished writing the letter, put it in an envelope, then stood up and walked outside.
When Liu Haixin saw the princess was leaving, he hurriedly shouted:
"Princess!"
Lin Yuxin stopped but didn't look back.
"Please, my lord, save the people of Quyan County. I have offended you just now. I hope you will be magnanimous and not take your anger out on the people."
Liu Haixin clasped his hands together and spoke respectfully towards Lin Yuxin's back.
"I will save you, but not now. As for you? I will give you a way out. If you agree, I will forgive you. If you don't agree, I will not help you with your injuries and poison."
Lin Yuxin stated her conditions calmly.
Liu Haixin hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and asked:
"What conditions?"
Lin Yuxin turned around slowly and just looked at Liu Haixin. After a while, she started to speak:
"This princess is in need of someone to give her advice, and I think you are a good fit. You can work for me in the future!"
