As the year draws to a close, there are many people coming and going from the city.
Lin Yan also loaded hot pot ingredients into the carriage.
Therefore, their entry and exit from the city yesterday did not attract the attention of the government.
This morning, Xie Muqing instructed Hai Dongqing to deliberately lead passing civilians into the mine.
As a result, the government received reports from the people.
When Xu Yuze saw such a large iron mine, he couldn't help but look astonished!
Even more shocking is...
The hundreds of miners working inside the mine were actually a group of soldiers.
Looking at their emaciated, dark, and disheveled appearance, he couldn't help but frown, his tone carrying a hint of apology:
"I'm sorry, it was my negligence. I didn't discover this hidden mine for so long. I just heard that you were all tricked into coming here and forced to mine?"
"Your Excellency, we dare not conceal the truth. They used our families as leverage, locking us in the mine and forcing us to work. But last night, for some unknown reason, they all left, taking with them all the weapons they had made overnight."
These were all things Lin Yan had specifically instructed her to do last night.
To this end, she even traveled several roads by carriage in order to conceal the tracks left by the carriage wheels.
She had already thrown the corpses into the ravine, and wiped away the bloodstains.
Fortunately, the mine had a strong smell of rust.
It easily buried the smell of blood.
The mine was now clean and tidy. Xu Yuze led the officials to inspect the various places, but they found nothing and had to give up.
Do you know who it is?
"I don't know that. He hasn't shown his face since then, but I did hear the guards talking about something called Young Master Yuan..."
"Young Master Yuan..."
Xu Yuze went through all the people with the surname "yuan" in his mind.
Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind!
Thinking of his identity, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.
It is unknown whether that person was involved in this matter.
If he already knew, then this matter is going to be difficult to handle...
Xu Yuze moved very quickly.
After hearing that these people had all resigned from the military camp, he settled them all in less than a day.
...
Lin Yan obtained all this information through intermediaries.
I was unable to go shopping yesterday.
This evening, Lin Yan took Xie Muqing shopping to buy dowry items.
Because of that embarrassing thing that happened when I woke up in the afternoon.
She always kept an arm's length distance from him...
Unsurprisingly.
Wherever Xie Muqing appeared, there would be a chorus of exclamations.
However, because he had other people with him, it wasn't as exaggerated as it had been in the morning.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yan narrowed her eyes, a hint of displeasure flashing in them.
She thought darkly.
It will be necessary to lock people in the house from now on...
Xie Muqing kept staring silently at Lin Yan's profile.
It seems like I can never get enough of looking at it.
Seeing the displeasure on her face, he secretly smiled.
He reached out and took the opportunity to hold her small hand, but feigned unease as he asked:
"Wife, are you angry? How about I wear a mask when I go out from now on..."
Lin Yan now suspects that Xie Muqing may have seen through her dark thoughts.
But how could she possibly admit it?
"Cough cough! What nonsense are you talking about? It's not like you're ashamed to be seen by others, why are you wearing a mask? A husband's appearance is a wife's glory. You're so handsome, I'm too happy to be angry."
"A husband's good looks are a wife's glory? My dear wife, why have I never heard of such a saying?"
Xie Muqing discovered that Lin Yan often said things he had never heard before.
Thinking about things I had once doubted.
He couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly.
"Um, I just overheard it. After all, you used to live in the capital, and the customs and sayings here in the Northwest are different from those here."
Seeing that she seemed unwilling to talk, Xie Muqing stopped asking.
It was nearly dusk.
The vendors had already started setting up their stalls, and Lin Yan was stunned by the dazzling array of goods on display.
Although she had been in the prefectural city for many days, this was her first time visiting an ancient night market.
She felt that she might not have been born with a life of wealth and privilege.
I love going to night markets...
Because of her pleasant mood, Lin Yan's almond-shaped eyes were always smiling.
Her cool and stubborn face, coupled with her tall figure, attracted the attention of many men.
Upon seeing this, Xie Muqing instantly emanated a chill.
Using the excuse that he was afraid of getting lost in a crowd, he held Lin Yan's small hand tightly.
His sharp, piercing gaze was fixed on the men, as if he wanted to gouge out their eyes!
"Oh, isn't this Miss Lin who lives in the brothel? What brings you out shopping today?"
Suddenly, a voice from ahead interrupted Lin Yan's good mood.
During her time in the prefectural city, she rarely appeared in public.
Therefore, not many people know that she owns the hot pot restaurant.
Therefore, when Yuan Rong deliberately spoke ambiguously, the people around her took a few steps back and kept their distance from Lin Yan.
His face also showed disgust.
Lin Yan rolled her eyes at Yuan Rong.
I silently cursed, "You're sick!"
She had only met Xiao Jue a few times, and she was already being targeted like this.
Lin Yan couldn't imagine it.
How does Yuan Rong usually treat other women who come into contact with Xiao Jue...?
Last time, Shangguan Yun was almost defiled by her, but Xiao Jue only broke off the engagement with her and did not punish her in any substantial way.
I wonder what kind of power is behind her...
