After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, she gave instructions to the servants, who then left in a hurry.
"Jiuyue, Aunt Gu has already instructed the servants to do it. I believe it won't be long before your servants will be released."
Lin Jiuyue smiled at Mrs. Gu.
"Thank you, Aunt Gu."
"I've already said I won't be polite to Aunt Gu anymore, so why are you still being so polite?"
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Lin Jiuyue offered to leave.
After leaving the general's mansion, he wandered around the capital before taking Lai Fu and Lai Cai to the town.
As soon as I returned to the town, the county magistrate was already waiting at the city gate.
"Miss, Miss Lin, you are finally back."
Lin Jiuyue frowned as she looked at the attentive county magistrate.
"Are you waiting for me here, Mr. County Magistrate?"
The county magistrate nodded in a servile manner.
"That's right. Miss Lin, are you free? Your humble servant, I want to talk to you about your servants."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
As expected of the wife of the General's Mansion, she is very efficient. I just went to the General's Mansion today, and when I came back, the county magistrate was already waiting at the city gate.
"Have you, sir, contacted the person who filed the complaint?"
County Magistrate Yang smiled awkwardly.
How could he contact the person who reported him to the authorities? He was just being warned by someone from the General's Mansion!
If I hadn't thought about currying favor with the Li family and had Miss Lin's servants imprisoned, I wouldn't be in such a passive position now.
"Haha, Miss Lin, I haven't found the person who reported the officials yet. I didn't know that Miss Xiyue and the others were actually your servants. If I had known earlier, I would never have arrested them."
"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth." Lin Jiuyue had already experienced this.
"I'm afraid the county magistrate won't give me this face, right?"
If he didn't have the token from the General's Mansion, he probably wouldn't even be able to see the county magistrate, let alone rescue Xiyue and the others.
"Haha, Miss Lin, if you had told me earlier that you have such a good relationship with the General's Mansion, I wouldn't have dared to arrest you even if I had a hundred times the courage."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Sir County Magistrate, are you saying that if I don't know anyone from the General's Mansion, or if I'm just an ordinary peasant, then my three servants would have suffered in vain?"
The county magistrate didn't expect Lin Jiuyue to talk so much. He was extremely embarrassed for a moment.
"Miss Lin, this, this is not a misunderstanding. Miss Lin, I have already had your men released."
After County Magistrate Yang finished speaking, a bailiff came over with Xiyue and the other two.
"Miss……"
Lin Jiuyue nodded to Xiyue and the other two.
"Well, I'm sorry for putting you through this period of time."
After saying that, he turned and looked at County Magistrate Yang.
"My Lord, you have released my men, but they have suffered so much in prison these days. How are you going to settle this debt?"
When the county magistrate learned that Lin Jiuyue was related to the general's mansion, he became extremely nervous, fearing that Lin Jiuyue would come to settle the score later.
Isn't it? The thing I worried about actually happened.
"Haha, Miss Lin, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
"Misunderstanding? The county magistrate has detained my people for so many days without any evidence, and now he calls it a misunderstanding and that's it?"
County Magistrate Yang touched the non-existent sweat on his forehead.
"Ms. Lin, I was also deceived by someone in this matter. I..."
County Magistrate Yang was interrupted by Lin Jiuyue before he could finish his words.
"My Lord County Magistrate, I don't care whether you've been deceived or not. You must give me an explanation for this matter. You can't let my people suffer so much in vain, right?"
When County Magistrate Yang heard Lin Jiuyue's words, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Seeing this, Lin Jiuyue spoke.
"My Lord, we are not saints. We all make mistakes, but when we do, we should be punished. My Lord, am I right?"
County Magistrate Yang really wanted to disagree, but because Lin Jiuyue had the support of the General's Mansion, he had no choice but to agree with Lin Jiuyue.
"Miss Lin is right. I was wrong in this matter. I am willing to apologize to Xiyue and the others and compensate them with some silver."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
This County Magistrate Yang is really a man who knows how to change with the times.
"My Lord, you don't have to pay compensation..."
When County Magistrate Yang heard Lin Jiuyue's words, he thought he had misheard.
"Miss Lin, are you telling the truth?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled and nodded.
"Of course it's true. However, since it has already happened, someone has to bear the consequences, right?"
If people don't have to bear the consequences for doing something wrong, then wouldn't the social order be completely messed up?
"In my opinion, the person who reported the incident to the police was truly despicable. He actually dared to make a false accusation. If it weren't for that false accusation, this incident wouldn't have happened. County Magistrate, am I right?"
After hearing Lin Jiuyue's words, County Magistrate Yang fell into deep thought.
County Magistrate Yang understood what Miss Lin meant by this.
However, the Li family was a large family, and Miss Lin was related to the General's Mansion. County Magistrate Yang was now caught in the middle, and no one dared to offend him, nor could he afford to offend anyone.
"Miss Lin, this..."
Lin Jiuyue raised her eyes and looked at County Magistrate Yang.
"What's the matter? The county magistrate seems to be in a difficult situation?"
"Since the County Magistrate is in such a dilemma, why not let the County Magistrate bear the consequences? However, let me make it clear that the consequences may be difficult for the County Magistrate to bear."
"Sir County Magistrate, would you mind giving me some time to think this over?"
County Magistrate Yang looked troubled. After a long while, he finally made a decision.
"Miss Lin, don't worry. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter."
If a person doesn't work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Besides, seriously speaking, this matter really has nothing to do with him. The reason he was able to capture Miss Lin's servants was entirely because of the Li family.
Now that the truth has been revealed and he can no longer cover it up, it is natural that the Li family will have to take the blame themselves.
When Lin Jiuyue saw County Magistrate Yang's expression, she knew that County Magistrate Yang had already made up his mind.
"When will County Magistrate Yang give me an explanation? I'm telling you this: if County Magistrate Yang doesn't handle this properly, I won't be as easygoing as I am now."
County Magistrate Yang nodded.
"Don't worry, Miss Lin. I will definitely satisfy you."
After listening to this, Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Xiyue, Uncle Li and Aunt Li, you three have been in prison for so long. Thank you for your hard work."
When the three heard Lin Jiuyue's polite words, they hurriedly shook their heads.
"It's not hard to do things for the young lady."
