Chapter 251 Princess, do I not need to marry her?

Xu Yanyi raised her eyebrows in contempt: "King Nanling has always loved his people like his own children and abided by the law. He is the embodiment of justice. He will definitely not bend the law for personal gain. Master Lin, you don't have to be nervous. This matter still needs to be explained properly. Otherwise, aren't you holding King Nanling back?

Lord Wen, we should conduct the trial as we should. We have witnesses and evidence. We cannot just brush it off casually. Otherwise, how can we recover the money in Wuzhou Prefecture's treasury? Otherwise, what about the people who were poisoned?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Wen took it very seriously and immediately said angrily with a dark face: "Come here! Bring the Lin family back to Yingtianfu!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lin quickly pushed Lin Mengshu and motioned him to speak. Lin Mengshu gritted his teeth and kowtowed, saying, "Sir, this matter was definitely not done by our Lin family. It was all done by the accountant of our Lin family. You see, it was him who signed and put his fingerprints on the agreement with the wife of the bun shop owner! Besides, although my mother manages the accounts of my family, the accountant is also the one who settles the bills in the end..."

"So you don't admit it? It was Mr. Accountant who framed you?"

Lord Wen frowned and looked at the accountant who was so frightened that he couldn't say anything.

"Yes! My Lin family knows nothing! And the accountant used to be the one in charge of the treasury silver in Wuzhou Prefecture. It would be easier for him to steal the treasury silver. We can't tell which is the treasury silver and which is our daily silver. As long as they are placed in the treasury, my mother will naturally stamp them with our family seal, which is convenient for management. Please understand, sir!"

Lin Mengshu kowtowed again.

Master Yue whispered in Xu Yanyi's ear: "They are going to push the accountant out to take the blame."

Xu Yanyisi nodded without surprise: "If no one takes the blame for this kind of thing, they will be implicated. Besides, the accountant has never said a word for him. It seems that they have been prepared for a long time. If the truth comes out, the accountant will be a scapegoat. The accountant must have some leverage in their hands. Didn't Lin Mengshu just mention the accountant's son? It must be that his son is controlled by the Lin family."

Sure enough, just as Xu Yanyi finished speaking, the accountant seemed to have given up everything and gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, I did everything. I... I am willing to die to atone for my sins! Please don't implicate anyone in the Lin family!"

After saying that, Mr. Accountant turned around and rushed towards the big pillar in front. Master Yue raised his hand very quickly, and a powerful palm wind jumped out and knocked Mr. Accountant to the side directly.

Lord Wen responded immediately: "Catch him!"

The bailiffs came forward one after another and arrested the man. Mr. Lin and the others felt nervous, and saw that the accountant was detained by the bailiffs and could not die even if he wanted to.

"Master Wen, take him back for a thorough investigation. We can't save the common people, but we still have to find the treasury silver, right?"

Xu Yanyi spoke teasingly.

Lord Wen looked at Old Master Lin and Lin Mengshu, and said in a very cold voice: "Since it was someone from your Lin family who drugged them, I don't care who in your Lin family drugged them. If those people die, your Lin family will not get any benefits! The death penalty can be exempted, but the living punishment cannot be escaped! Even if King Nanling was here, he would agree!"

Lin Mengshu spoke without hesitation: "We have also heard that some civilians were poisoned, and it was said that the thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum was used as the medicine. Our Lin family happens to have the medicine, and the princess has also seen it. Although the person who poisoned was not a member of our Lin family, it was the accountant of our Lin family. This matter... this matter is also our responsibility. We are willing to sacrifice ourselves to save the lives of innocent people. I hope that you can show leniency and let our merits and demerits be offset!"

Tsk tsk, this guy is quite good at talking and he can get things done very easily.

Xu Yanyi sneered: "Master Lin, if you have such a son, the Lin family will be prosperous."

Mr. Lin's face was so dark and gloomy that no one dared to talk back.

Lord Wen frowned and said, "Since you have the medicine, why don't you take it out quickly! You have to report the merits and demerits to the emperor, and let the emperor decide! Take out the thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum quickly! All the medical expenses of the victims and all the subsequent money will be borne by your Lin family. Do you have any objections?"

Of course Mr. Lin wanted to refuse, but Lin Mengshu glared at him fiercely, so he could only nod: "Yes, no objection, no objection."

Soon, someone from the Lin family took out the thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum. Xu Yanyi took a look and saw the pearl mark she had made before. She nodded to Lord Wen and said, "It should be true without a doubt. Lord Wen, please send someone to boil some medicine and send it to the victims. This way, the people will surely believe in Lord Wen more."

"Yes, I will go right away."

Lord Wen waved his hand, and the bailiffs carried the thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum away.

The people of the Lin family didn't dare to stop at all.

After waiting for Lord Wen and the others to leave, Xu Yanyi didn't even look at the Lin family, and walked outside with Master Yue. However, when passing by the Lin family's gate, she paused, tore off the wedding character that she had just pasted on and threw it on the ground.

"Princess, do I not need to marry you?"

Master Yue's voice was soft, and there was a feeling that he was asking a question even though he already knew the answer.

Xu Yanyi curled her lips: "I didn't intend to let you marry me in the first place, but you are mine, shouldn't I be the one to choose who to marry?"

"Yes, we all listen to the princess."

Master Yue chuckled and nodded.

Seeing Xu Yanyi and Master Yue disappear in front of them, Lin Mengyan, who had been hiding behind them, finally ran out and asked Old Master Lin nervously: "Dad! What does this mean? I can't marry Zhan Qiyue? Then what should I do?"

Bang!

Mr. Lin stood up angrily and slapped Lin Mengyan: "You only care about this! My Lin family is almost finished!"

Lin Mengshu corrected him, "The matter is not over yet. The accountant is not dead. He has been taken back to the government office. Who knows if he will confess something? If so, it will implicate our Lin family and we will be doomed!"

"How could that be! Isn't mother the aunt of King Nanling? Go ask King Nanling for help!"

Lin Mengyan covered her face and stomped her feet in grievance.

"This is such a big deal, who in the capital doesn't know about it? But did you see King Nanling coming?" Lin Mengshu said coldly, "King Nanling usually only cares about our Lin family because of my mother. If things really get out of hand, wouldn't he only protect my mother and abandon our entire Lin family? And now it's not King Nanling's problem at all, but that Xu Yanyi! Don't you understand?"

Lin Mengyan was furious: "What should we do? This... this was your suggestion! It was obviously you..."

Before she could finish her words, Lin Mengshu suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Mengyan's neck.
