Lin Jiuyue heard Laicai's voice and stood up and walked out.
"Laicai is back. Did he get any useful information?"
Laicai bowed.
"Miss, the government still doesn't allow visitors, but I've already communicated with our old customers, and they will all come to testify for us when the time comes."
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Laicai shook his head.
"I am willing to serve you, my lady, and it is not hard work."
"Lai Fu Lai Cai, during this period, Xiyue and the others were captured and it was up to you two to take care of everything at home and outside. You have indeed worked hard. After this period is over, I will definitely reward you well."
"Okay, you guys should rest early today and go out with me tomorrow."
Although Lai Fu Lai Cai didn't know what Lin Jiuyue was going to do tomorrow, he could more or less guess that what she was going to do tomorrow would definitely be related to Xiyue and the others.
"Yes, miss."
The next day, Lin Jiuyue got up at dawn and did not look anxious at all.
This made Lai Fu and Lai Cai feel a little flustered.
"Miss, where are we going today?"
Lai Fu asked cautiously, fearing that Lin Jiuyue would say something like "I'm waiting for this at home."
"Laifu, since you asked, let's prepare the carriage and go to the government office to see what's going on."
Laicai: ...
I have gone to the yamen countless times during this period, but they just refused to let me see him. I don't know if the people at the yamen will let me see my daughter if I go there.
"Yes, miss."
Lai Fu set up the carriage, and Lin Jiuyue got on it calmly, without a trace of anxiety on her face.
yamen.
Lin Jiuyue got off the carriage and calmly walked towards the government office. Lai Fu and Lai Cai followed behind Lin Jiuyue.
"What are you doing? The government office is where cases are handled. If you have nothing else to do, leave."
Lai Fu and Lai Cai had been in and out of the government office frequently recently and were already very familiar with the place. They hurried forward and spoke.
"Brother, do you still remember us? We are Lai Fu Lai Cai."
The bailiff in front of the yamen looked up at Lai Fu and Lai Cai and said in an impatient tone.
"So it's you guys. I told you, the person you want to see is the one who committed murder. You can't see him now, so just wait."
Laicai didn't get angry even when someone humiliated him.
"Brother, we are not here to meet anyone. My lady has something to do."
Lai Cai finished speaking and took a step back, revealing Lin Jiuyue behind him.
Lin Jiuyue walked forward.
"Young man, I am their master. The three 'prisoners' you have detained are also my servants. I was not at home before and did not know what had happened. I came back this time specifically to learn about this matter."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she winked at Lai Cai.
Lai Cai immediately took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and quietly put it into the hand of the yamen runner.
"Yes, yes, brother. My young lady is here to understand the situation. I hope you can help inform her."
Lai Cai stuffed silver into the yamen runner's hand, and the expression on his face was no longer as fierce as before.
"Well, since you're so concerned about this case, I'll tell you the truth. Miss, those three servants in your family are not something that a soldier like us can handle. Even if you go to the county magistrate, this matter won't be resolved."
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
"Whether the problem can be solved or whether the person can be taken back is not that important right now. I just want to know what happened."
"Young man, as far as I know, the imperial court shouldn't have issued a law prohibiting people from seeing prisoners, right? It shouldn't be that difficult for me to see them, right?"
After hearing what Lin Jiuyue said, the yamen runner felt a little embarrassed.
"Miss, please don't embarrass me. The higher-ups have ordered that you are not allowed to see the prisoner in your house."
Lin Jiuyue didn't get angry after hearing this. She still had a smile on her face.
"Brother, since you've said that, it would be difficult for me to ask to see someone again. How about this, I can't see Xiyue and the others, can you let me see the county magistrate?"
The bailiff hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Miss, here, you want to see the county magistrate, I have to go in and make an announcement."
After the bailiff finished speaking, he quickly added another sentence.
"However, I am only responsible for helping to report. If the county magistrate doesn't want to see you, then there is nothing I can do. Please don't blame me."
Lin Jiuyue smiled and nodded.
"Of course, little brother, just help me inform you. As for the result, I won't blame you."
After hearing what Lin Jiuyue said, the yamen runner was willing to go in and pass on the message.
"Then you guys wait here first."
After saying that, he turned around and walked inside.
Not long after, the yamen runner who had just gone in to deliver the message came out with a rather unhappy expression on his face.
"Miss, I've already informed the county magistrate that he won't see you. You'd better leave immediately."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
"Young man, I want to ask why the county magistrate doesn't want to see me? Can you tell me the reason?"
The bailiff shook his head.
"No, the county magistrate won't see anyone he doesn't want to see. Why would he need a reason?"
After hearing this, Lin Jiuyue thought to herself, this County Magistrate Yang is probably not a good official! He actually ignored the authenticity of the case.
Just when Lin Jiuyue was considering whether to take out the token given by Gu Chengyan, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her ears.
"You, aren't you Miss Lin's cousin? What are you doing here?"
Lin Jiuyue turned around and realized that the person who was speaking was Young Master Yang, whom she had met before.
"Young Master Yang?"
The moment Lin Jiuyue saw Young Master Yang, her brows furrowed even more tightly.
Young Master Yang had already come into contact with Lin Jinlian when they had an argument in the teahouse. He was not a good person.
Oh, by the way, this Young Master Yang is the son of County Magistrate Yang!
He had already been rejected by County Magistrate Yang, and now he met County Magistrate Yang's son. Besides, this Young Master Yang did not have a very good impression of him.
Lin Jiuyue thought that it might not be so easy to see County Magistrate Yang this time. Just as she was about to take out the token Gu Chengyan had given her, Young Master Yang suddenly spoke again.
"Miss Lin, what are you doing here at the county office? I just heard you say you wanted to see the county magistrate?"
When the yamen runner saw that Lin Jiuyue knew the county magistrate's son, he stopped talking and stepped aside to become an "invisible person".
"Yes."
Young Master Yang had suffered a loss at the hands of Lin Jiuyue in the teahouse before. Seeing Lin Jiuyue's gloomy face, he proudly opened the folding fan in his hand with a snap and fanned it in a pretentiously romantic manner.
"Before seeing how powerful Miss Lin was, I thought she was omnipotent."
