Chapter 502 Extra: Lin Luoxi Goes to Raid Another House
"Yes, I'll go wash up first..." Now that she's escaped, Nangong Chuying's biggest wish is to wash away all the filth on her body, to wash away the dirt that has accumulated over the past two years.
Lin Luoxi had the servants in the other courtyard bring hot water, and she personally helped Nangong Chuying inside.
She was about the same size as Zhong Chuying, so Lin Luoxi took out her new clothes that she hadn't worn yet and gave them to Nangong Chuying to change into.
Meanwhile, Nangong Mobai was still concerned about his older sister being rescued by Lin Luoxi and wanted to know more, so he stayed outside Nangong Chuying's room.
As soon as Nangong Chuying finished washing up and came out, she saw Nangong Mobai waiting outside the door with a worried and anxious expression.
She had been holding back her tears, but when she saw the worry in her loved ones, she could no longer control them and burst into tears while hugging Nangong Mobai.
Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan knew that the siblings had a lot to talk about, so they immediately went back to their room to sleep.
When Nangong Mobai learned that his sister had been imprisoned and tortured in the basement by Li Houchong for two years, he was so angry that he clenched his fists and wanted to go and fight Li Houchong.
"Mo Bai, don't get agitated. The two people who saved me are also looking for evidence of Lin Houchong's embezzlement and crimes. He won't be arrogant for long."
Nangong Chuying was afraid that Nangong Mobai would rush to Li Houchong in a fit of excitement, and that he would lose his life, which would not be worth it.
She's no longer clean, and if she were to implicate her younger brother, she'd rather die.
Moreover, she sensed that these two were not simple people tonight; they were sure they would convict Li Houchong and have him executed.
"Yes, big sister, it's my fault..." Nangong Mobai had never hated himself for being useless as much as he did now. If he had the skills of Lin Luoxi, he would have killed Li Houcong right now.
"Elder sister, to tell you the truth, these two are Princess Changping and General Changsheng."
"She only got involved because of my relationship with her sister..."
Nangong Mobai also knew that Lin Luoxi was the only one who could bring Li Houchong down from his post.
If Lin Luoxi collects all the evidence of Li Houchong's crimes, Li Houzhong will definitely die at Lin Luoxi's hands without them having to do anything.
“Alright, we’ll listen to Princess Changping.” Nangong Chuying felt reassured when she heard that the two people who saved her were Princess Changping and General Changsheng.
The two siblings chatted for a while, and Nangong Mobai knew that Nangong Chuying must not have slept well during the two years that Li Houchong had imprisoned her.
He let Nangong Chuying go to rest, while he stayed by her side, afraid that his beloved older sister would disappear again in the blink of an eye.
Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan slept until noon before getting up and having lunch. They then had someone deliver the food to Nangong Chuying's room before going out to attend to other matters.
Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan left the villa and went to the area under the jurisdiction of the Lingnan military camp, where they mobilized 5,000 troops and headed to Prefect Li's house.
When the two men arrived with their troops, they happened to run into Li Houchong and his family, who had already packed their belongings and were about to leave.
"Take them down." Lin Luoxi brandished her princess token and commanded the soldiers to capture Li Houchong.
"Do you know who I am? I am the Prefect of Southern Continent. You have no right to arrest me..."
Lin Luoxi raised the token too quickly, and Li Houchong didn't see it. He thought it was someone from the nearby military camp trying to attack him, and he shouted recklessly.
The commotion caused by Lin Luoxi leading troops to arrest Li Houchong attracted the attention of the people in Nanzhou City.
Seeing that Lin Luoxi was going to arrest Li Houchong, the people who felt that Li Houchong was just spoke up for him.
"Hmph, this so-called upright and honest Lord Li you speak of is anything but honest. What he has done in private is enough to warrant immediate execution and public display of his head."
Lin Luoxi didn't want the people to think she was killing innocent people indiscriminately, so she asked the strategist of the Southern Continent Army to stand up and read out the evidence of Hou Chong's crimes, one by one, in front of the people in the box she had been carrying.
Those ordinary people who were about to speak up for Li Houchong all fell silent when the officer read out the evidence of Li Houchong's crimes.
When the family whose daughter had disappeared without a trace heard that Li Houchong was involved in the disappearance, they angrily stepped forward, raised their fists, and beat Li Houchong.
The first person to step forward was followed by a second, and soon Li Houchong's entire family was surrounded and beaten by all the people of Nanzhou.
Lin Luoxi and the soldiers she brought did not stop them, but stood aside and watched to prevent Li Houcong from sneaking away with his men.
"Princess Changping, Princess Changping..." The Nangong family members all ran out to see what was happening when they heard that Li Houchong's entire family had been arrested.
Upon learning that the missing young woman from Nanzhou was related to Li Houchong, the head of the Nangong family and his wife disregarded their pride and shamelessly approached to ask.
As he got closer, he realized that Princess Changping was the same girl he had seen in the clothing shop that day, and he took a step back in surprise.
"Madam Nangong, have you come for your daughter?"
Lin Luoxi looked at the gentle and kind Madam Nangong, but when she thought about how the Nangong family had tied their son down for profit and forced him to marry Li Houchong's 180-pound daughter, her goodwill towards Madam Nangong decreased.
"Hmm, I wonder if Princess Changping has any news of him. My daughter disappeared for two years, three months, and one day. Not a day has passed since I stopped missing her..."
When Madam Nangong mentioned Nangong Chuying, tears streamed down her face.
She desperately wanted an answer from Lin Luoxi, but at the same time, she didn't, because she feared her daughter had suffered inhuman torture.
"What kind of answer does Madam Nangong want?" Lin Luoxi looked at Madam Nangong, her bright black eyes gazing into Madam Nangong's heart.
"I... I want to know the whereabouts of my eldest daughter, whether it's good or bad, I want to know..." Madam Nangong seemed to have made a great decision, looking at Lin Luoxi.
"Alright, Madam Nangong, please wait a moment. I'll give you an answer after I've settled things here..."
Seeing that the people of Nanzhou had nearly beaten Li Houchong to a pulp, Lin Luoxi quickly ordered her men to drag Li Houchong and his entire family to the entrance of the market and behead them as a warning. The remaining soldiers stayed behind to help her search their property.
After finishing everything, a servant from the Nangong family ran over and asked Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan to go to the largest restaurant in Nanzhou—Nanlai Beiwang Restaurant.
At the same time, he also sent someone back to bring Nangong Mobai and Nangong Chuying back.
"Ying'er, my Ying'er..." When Madam Nangong saw Nangong Chuying appear at the door of the private room, she no longer cared about her image and rushed over excitedly.
When Nangong Mobai saw his distraught mother, his expression was unpredictable. Finally, he walked over, opened his arms, and hugged Madam Nangong and Nangong Chuying.
"You unfilial son, why don't you..." The head of the Nangong family looked at his son who had disappeared and then reappeared, put on a stern face, and wanted to put on airs and yell at Mo Bai.
"Cough cough..." Lin Luoxi coughed lightly twice upon seeing this.
