Mu Wenyao cast an admiring look at Lin Jinghan.
"Since you've figured everything out and know you're in danger, why are you still so calm?"
Lin Jinghan frowned, she couldn't stand the stench here, so she had to secretly give herself an injection to block her sense of smell.
"Since we are here, let's make the best of it. If all else fails, let's fight our way out!"
Mu Wenyao was actually amused by Lin Jinghan's words.
"Why didn't I realize before that you're such a good joke teller?"
"Is this a joke? No, I'm serious!" Lin Jinghan really planned to do so. It would be fine if they were reasonable, but if these corrupt officials dared to torture her, she wouldn't mind letting them taste the power of her poison pill.
"Well, you two really are a couple. You both have the same way of doing things." Mu Wenyao sighed.
"Mu Wenyao, did I forget to tell you not to mention another person's name in front of someone who has been heartbroken?" Lin Jinghan's expression darkened.
Mu Wenyao touched his nose and said, "Sorry, I spoke too quickly... But I still don't understand why the two of you..."
Seeing Lin Jinghan staring at him, Mu Wenyao couldn't continue speaking and shut up obediently.
At this time, someone came and opened the door of Lin Jinghan's cell.
"Lin Zhenghe, come out!"
Lin Jinghan walked out of the cell door. The jailer wanted to take her away, but she dodged him.
"I can walk on my own, so I won't bother you two brothers."
Perhaps because the aura around her was too terrifying, the jailer did not make things difficult for her. He put handcuffs on her and then politely asked her to leave.
"Zhenghe..." Mu Wenyao was very worried.
"Don't worry." Lin Jinghan gave him a reassuring look.
Lin Jinghan thought that it was Xiao Ce who was interrogating her, but unexpectedly, the person sitting opposite her was actually - Prime Minister Lin!
The people from the Beijing Aircraft Defense Battalion took off her mask, but now she had changed her appearance and was wearing men's clothes, so he believed that Lin Jingshan would not recognize her.
However, she was very curious. She wondered what Lin Jingshan's expression would be if he found out that the person he was interrogating was his daughter.
"Greetings, Prime Minister Lin!" Lin Jinghan has always been adaptable and would not use eggs to hit stones. She bowed respectfully.
"Do you know what the consequences of forging official permission are?" Lin Jingshan didn't let her get up.
Lin Jinghan continued to bend over, curling her lips. "Official word two open mouth, you can say whatever you want?" "I don't know, but the Lin's Glass Shop does not have the official permission to forge, please Prime Minister, please investigate."
"Whether there is fraud or not, your opinion doesn't count." Lin Jingshan said with a smile.
Lin Jinghan was tired of bending over, so she simply stood up and said, "I know, the Prime Minister has the final say..."
The man opposite him was clearly an ordinary person. Not only did he recognize him at first sight, but he also showed no awe towards him. Lin Jingshan couldn't help but develop a curiosity about him.
"You are a man who knows the current situation. In this case, I will show you two clear paths:
First, hand over the formula of Liuli, and the government will give you a large sum of money, enough for you to live a rich life for the rest of your life;
Second, you can continue to run the Lin's Glass Shop, but 80% of the profits must be turned over to the national treasury."
Eighty percent? Lin Jinghan thought they would ask for money, but she didn't expect them to be so ruthless. They asked for eighty percent right away. Add to that the twenty percent from Prince Mu's Mansion and Marquis Pingnan's Mansion. Wouldn't she, the owner, get nothing?
Lin Jinghan is neither humble nor arrogant,
"According to the laws of Donglin, no one may force anyone to buy or sell something, so your first option is illegal and I will not choose it.
Similarly, according to Donglin's laws, no matter what kind of shop you open, you can't pay as much as 80% tax. This is also illegal. Prime Minister, I really don't have a choice."
Lin Jingshan's face turned cold instantly.
"What a sharp-tongued businessman! Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."
Lin Jinghan looked innocent.
"Am I wrong? Isn't this the law of Donglin? Or does the Prime Minister, as the head of all officials, want to take the lead in breaking the law?"
"How dare you!" Lin Jingshan slammed the chair, but the chair in the cell was of poor quality and was broken directly by him. He almost fell flat on his face. Fortunately, the jailer next to him helped him and he finally stabilized his body.
This time, his anger intensified. "Since you are so ungrateful, then don't blame me! Come, torture me!"
"Prime Minister, do you want to force a confession out of me?" Lin Jinghan looked at Lin Jingshan coldly.
"Yes, so what?" Lin Jingshan sneered. A mere commoner, a lowly merchant at that, dared to challenge him! Naive! He would teach him a lesson today, and let him know the difference between respect and inferiority!
Lin Jinghan thought quickly in her mind:
They didn't know she knew Kung Fu, so they were not on guard against her. The material of the shackles was not very strong, and she should be able to break free with her current skills. Lin Jingshan was not very far away from her, and as long as she moved fast enough, she should be able to take him down in one move, and then use him as a hostage, and maybe she could leave the cell safely!
But what about Mu Wenyao? If she took him with her to escape prison, it would probably implicate Prince Mu's residence. After all, he was Prince Mu's son, so they shouldn't make things difficult for him. So, it would be better to let him stay in the cell...
That’s it!
The jailer approached Lin Jinghan with a red-hot iron and a sneer.
Seeing that Lin Jinghan didn't move, Lin Jingshan thought he was scared silly and couldn't help but sneer at him: It turns out that he is just a talker, he is indeed the lowest kind of businessman!
Bang!
However, just as the branding iron was about to hit Lin Jinghan, she instantly broke free from the shackles and rushed towards Lin Jingshan at lightning speed.
Lin Jingshan was horrified and dodged quickly.
But it was too late. Lin Jinghan's golden needle had already pierced his body before her. He suddenly couldn't move and watched Lin Jinghan strangle his neck and hold him hostage.
"Don't move, or I will kill him!" Lin Jinghan was full of murderous intent.
"Taking an imperial official hostage is a capital crime!" Lin Jingshan threatened.
Lin Jinghan sneered,
"Oh, please rest assured, Prime Minister. Before I die, I will definitely take you with me! So, if you still want to live, then make them get out of the way!"
Lin Jingshan was going to be the emperor's grandfather, so he valued his life very much and immediately ordered:
"Get out of the way!"
Lin Jinghan held Lin Jingshan hostage and walked out. The jailers were afraid to take action. Xiao Ce, who heard the news and rushed over, blocked the passage in front.
"Let go of the Prime Minister and I'll spare your life! Otherwise, you'll die!"
Lin Jingshan looked at the soldiers in front of him who were waiting in formation, and like a magic trick, he took out a dagger and put it against Lin Xiang's neck.
"Then let's compete to see who dies first, me or Minister Lin!"
"Bring the person here!" Xiao Ce ordered.
Soon, someone brought a group of people over. Lin Jinghan looked closely and found that they were all from Lin’s Glass Shop!
"Commander Xiao, I never thought you would be such a despicable person."
