Lin Jiuyue smiled calmly.
"Young Master Yang, you're joking. I'm just an ordinary person. I have nothing to do with being omnipotent."
Although he said polite words, Lin Jiuyue had actually already mentally put the county magistrate and his son on the list of people he should not have any contact with.
"Lin Jiuyue, if you really want to see the county magistrate, I can help you."
Lin Jiuyue smiled and shook her head.
"Young Master Yang, please don't bother with this."
As soon as Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, the county magistrate's son snorted coldly.
"Hmph, I was trying to help you out of kindness, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. In that case, just wait here!"
The county magistrate's son was rejected by Lin Jiuyue. He said this angrily and then threw his sleeves and walked into the county government office.
The yamen runner who had been there before saw that the county magistrate's son was angry, so after the county magistrate's son walked away, he walked up to Lin Jiuyue and tried to persuade her.
"Miss, that's the son of our county magistrate. If you offend him, you won't be able to see the county magistrate again. If you really wanted to see the county magistrate, you shouldn't have offended the county magistrate's son just now."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"If the county magistrate is truly fair and honest, he will naturally not listen to the words of the county magistrate's son."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she took out the token that Gu Chengyan had given her from her arms.
"Hey young man, could you please help pass on the message again?"
After hearing this, the bailiff waved his hands repeatedly.
"No, no, I just went to deliver the message and I was scolded by the county magistrate. If I go again now, I will lose my position."
Lin Jiuyue handed the token to the yamen runner.
"Young man, this time you take my token with you to pass on the message. The county magistrate won't do anything to you."
After hearing what Lin Jiuyue said, the yamen runner cast his eyes on the token in Lin Jiuyue's hand. He took the token and looked at it.
"What is this? Is this the token of the General's Mansion?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Yes."
The yamen runner looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
This girl, since she had the token of the General's Mansion, why didn't she take it out before? If she had taken it out earlier, she could have delivered the message herself and wouldn't have been scolded.
"Miss, since you have the token of the General's Mansion, why didn't you take it out earlier? If you had taken it out earlier, you might have met the county magistrate by now."
The yamen runner's tone revealed displeasure.
If I hadn't accepted the money from Lin Jiuyue before, I would probably be angry now.
"I used to think our county magistrate was a good official who loved his people like his own children, but I didn't expect..."
Lin Jiuyue said this and shook her head in disappointment.
Upon hearing this, the yamen runner immediately looked around nervously.
"Girl, don't say that carelessly, or you'll get into trouble."
After saying that, he suddenly thought that since Lin Jiuyue had the token of the general's mansion, the county magistrate probably couldn't do anything to this girl.
"Then I'll go in and pass it on. As I said before, if the county magistrate doesn't see you, you can't blame me."
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Just go and pass it on, little brother."
Lin Jiuyue stood at the gate of the county government office, waiting for the bailiff to come out.
"Miss, do you think the county magistrate will see us?"
Lin Jiuyue showed a sarcastic smile.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely see you."
Since this county magistrate was helping the Li family target Xiyue and the others, he must not be a good official. Only someone with a higher official rank than them could suppress such a person.
Lai Fu said happily when he heard Lin Jiuyue's words.
"Miss, can Xiyue and the others be saved?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely rescue Xiyue and the others."
The Xiyue family is their own people, even the Li family cannot touch them.
As soon as he finished speaking, the yamen runner who had gone in came out.
"Miss, Miss, the county magistrate wants you to come in."
When Lai Fu and Lai Cai heard this, they looked at each other and a happy expression appeared on their faces.
Inside the yamen.
"Excuse me, who is this girl?"
As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, the county magistrate's son beside him cried out in surprise.
"Huh? Aren't you Miss Lin?"
The county magistrate looked up at his son.
"Do you know each other?"
The county magistrate nodded.
"We've met a few times before, but we can't really say we know each other."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"It's not really an acquaintance."
After hearing this, the county magistrate did not ask any further questions, but changed the subject and talked about business.
"Miss, what do you want to see this county magistrate about?"
Lin Jiuyue didn't waste any time and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Sir County Magistrate, you recently captured a woman named Xiyue and her parents, who are servants of my family. I am here today for them."
When the county magistrate heard Lin Jiuyue mention Xiyue's family, his expression turned a little ugly.
"Oh? I didn't know that the girl was actually their servant."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Yes, sir. I heard that one of my servants committed a crime and was taken to the county government office. My people wanted to take a look and ask what happened, but the sir is not allowing them to visit. Is this true, sir?"
After hearing this, the county magistrate smiled awkwardly.
"Miss, the case of your servant has not yet been tried. Without a trial, there is naturally no conviction. Why can't I visit him? I guess the people below made a mistake."
When Lin Jiuyue heard the county magistrate's words, he did not expose his lies.
"So, can I go visit?"
The county magistrate nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, you can visit me anytime you want. It's all right."
After listening to this, Lin Jiuyue nodded with satisfaction.
"Since the county magistrate has said so, I will not disturb you any longer. I will go and see my servants first."
The county magistrate opened his mouth, then swallowed his words back.
"Girl, I'll have someone take you there right away. Oh, no, I'll take you there myself."
After the county magistrate finished speaking, he quickly stood up and led the way.
The county magistrate's son, who was sitting on the chair, opened his mouth in disbelief when he saw his father being so attentive.
Could this Miss Lin be some powerful figure? Why did she come to the prison to see a prisoner and even need her own father to lead the way?
No, wasn't she just fleeing from famine? If she really had a background, why would she have fled from famine?
The county magistrate's son sat in a chair thinking until Lin Jiuyue and others left, then he came to his senses.
Lin Jiuyue followed the county magistrate to the prison where Xiyue and others were imprisoned.
Xiyue's family of three were imprisoned together in the same cell, with no other prisoners. It seemed they hadn't been bullied by other prisoners. However, the prison environment was a bit difficult to describe.
"Xiyue, someone is here to see you."
The county magistrate's voice echoed in the prison. Xiyue then slowly raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice.
Perhaps because they had been detained for several days, Xiyue and Uncle Li and Aunt Li's eyes had become a little numb.
