"Hey, you inside, come out!" After an unknown amount of time, while Lin Han was in a daze, the jailer opened the cell door, knocked on it with an iron bar, and called Lin Han out.
"Come with me, don't try anything funny, behave yourself!" the jailer warned Lin Han.
At this moment, Lin Han also wanted to see what these people were up to, so he obediently followed the jailer.
The jailer led Lin Han to a large hall where several people were sitting.
"Sir, she is the foreign spy we have identified." The general who had initially escorted Lin Han was now speaking respectfully to the person sitting at the head of the table.
"Are you arresting people so casually now? You just grab anyone and call them a spy?" Lin Han said directly after hearing what the general had said.
"Shut up!"
"Let him speak."
The general glared fiercely at Lin Han, telling her to shut up, but the magistrate allowed Lin Han to continue speaking. At this point, the general couldn't say anything and could only step aside.
"Tell me, how did they just arrest people like that?" the magistrate said to Lin Han below.
"Reporting to the magistrate, I am just an ordinary person from a neighboring country who came here for sightseeing and happened to meet this general while seeking pleasure in a brothel."
After he learned that I was from a neighboring country, he took me away without saying a word and even suspected me of being a spy.
"Does that mean that anyone from another country who gets arrested is automatically labeled a spy?" Lin Han replied.
"Oh? Is that so?" The magistrate looked at the general beside him, his tone carrying a hint of authority.
"Your Excellency, it's not as he said. I saw this kid acting suspiciously when I was investigating the brothel."
And besides, I'm not a citizen of this country, and considering the recent demands from the adults, I'm just doing my duty.
The general broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the magistrate's authoritative question, and quickly defended himself.
"Ha, shameless, you can just spout nonsense like that." Lin Han mocked.
"He probably didn't expect the newly appointed magistrate to be so fair. Look at him, he's completely flustered," Xiao Meng said to Lin Han, looking at the general whose eyes were darting around.
"So they've done plenty of these despicable things like falsely accusing people before," Lin Han muttered to herself, looking at the guilty-looking man in front of her.
"Of course, many innocent people died because of this." Xiao Meng could see past plots, so she got angry whenever she saw so many people who became victims of his accusations.
"Your Excellency, you can investigate and see what I've been doing these past few days, and the truth will come out." Lin Han directly proposed a win-win solution.
But the general was the first to stand up against Lin Han.
Lin Han found it amusing to look at the guilty-looking person.
"My lord, a simple investigation will reveal that one side of the argument is always wrong based solely on our words. So why not listen to your own thoughts?"
"I promise that I will stay in the inn for the next few days until you have found out the truth. You can also send people to monitor me," Lin Han suggested to the county magistrate.
The magistrate was a clear-headed man. When he saw that the general's eyes were so unfocused that he couldn't speak, he knew that Lin Han was probably telling the truth. However, to prevent any unforeseen events, he still sent people to monitor Lin Han.
"Congratulations on your three-hour prison visit," Xiao Meng said, congratulating Lin Han on getting out so easily.
"I suspect you're insulting me, but I have no proof," Lin Han replied humorously to Xiao Meng's words.
