Chen Family in the county town.
Li Nianqiao paced back and forth outside the door. When she saw the maid coming over, she went up to her and asked.
"How about it?"
The maid shook her head in disappointment.
Li Nianqiao gritted her teeth in hatred, "Damn bitch."
It was just a gift from the villagers, and it had only been at the manor for a few days, yet it had already captivated the master.
The maid, A-ye, was also worried.
"Madam, what should I do now?"
Steward Shen has been imprisoned in the county government office, and now government officials come to the door every day demanding the young master's return. The master is in this state now as well.
"Let's go find my father-in-law."
A short while later, Li Nianqiao appeared in front of Chen Wanli's study.
She knelt down on the ground, pleading, "Father, please save Guang'er."
Chen Wanli came out of the study. "Nianqiao, don't worry about this. Once things calm down, I plan to send Guang'er out of the city to hide."
Li Nianqiao: "But the government officials have already come to our door demanding our people back."
Chen Wanli snorted coldly, "Let them wait, I don't believe Lin Chengyi can do anything to me."
After Li Nianqiao left, Chen Wanli suddenly thought of his son.
"By the way, where has Genius been these past few days?"
The confidant thought for a moment and said, "Master, the head of the household has taken a new concubine, and he's still enjoying the new experience these past few days."
"Hmph," Chen Wanli said angrily, "He has so many things to do at home, yet he has the leisure to indulge in romance. Has he made arrangements for everyone over there?"
The confidant said, "Don't worry, sir. The worst thing is for the news to get out. We recruit people in secret."
Chen Wanli nodded.
At the same time, inside the study of the county government office.
Lin Chengyi was furious.
"What a Chen family! The government can't do anything about them now!"
Wu Nanshuang's case has been closed; the suspect is Chen Guang, the son of the Chen family.
But now the Chen family's gates are tightly shut, the yamen runners are blocked outside, and even the government can't do anything about them.
The Chen family has truly gone too far.
Zhang Hongfu reassured him, "Don't worry, sir. The young master has successfully infiltrated the camp, and news will arrive soon."
Lin Chengyi sat down angrily. The Chen family was fearless simply because they had powerful connections.
According to the letter Wu Nanshuang obtained, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't protect the Chen family.
Let them run wild for a few more days.
Zhang Hongfu prayed that his young master could bring back the evidence so that the adults could punish the Chen family.
At the same time, they hoped that the young master would not get hurt.
A mine in Lingshan County.
"Hurry up! Stop dawdling!" The commander shouted, whipping his men into action.
Lin Jiaxiang gritted his teeth inwardly.
They used to live like gods in the county, but now that they've been brought here, they're treated worse than dogs.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up!"
Urged on by the guards, Lin Jiaxiang had no choice but to carry the salt bag forward.
When he gets back, he'll definitely find that fortune teller and give him a good beating.
And that Nanzhi, is this the grand gift she mentioned?
He walked around observing his surroundings, and whenever he had a chance, he would escape to find his father.
A group of people gathered together in the evening.
"Brother, at this rate, when will we be able to go home?"
Wu You spread out his palms: "Look at my hands, will I still be able to work outside?"
Several scars crisscrossed his hands, all corroded by salt.
Lin Jiaxiang wasn't much better off.
He was a young master who lived a comfortable life, but now his fair hands are covered in scars.
"These people are no good!"
“I don’t know how many more people have been abducted here. I shouldn’t have been greedy for that little bit of money,” the man said regretfully. “Now I’m in trouble. I can’t go home. Whether I’ll survive is another matter.”
His words caused a look of worry to appear on the faces of those around him.
Lin Jiaxiang lay on the far side, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. With his abilities, he could find a way out in less than five days.
But these people are, after all, subjects of the Great Central Government, and his father brought him here because he had high hopes for him.
Lin Jiaxiang made up his mind in his heart.
Five days later, Lin Jiaxiang took advantage of a moment of laxity in the guard and secretly came to the fence and threw something overboard.
Then he returned to the camp and lay down as if nothing had happened.
After many days of no news, Lin Chengyi in the county government office could no longer sit still.
He only has one son. If something happens to him, how can I explain it to his mother?
I shouldn't have listened to that wandering Taoist priest in the first place.
Now look what's happened; they haven't managed to find any leverage over the powerful families, and they've even lost their son.
Just then, Zhang Hongfu rushed in.
"My lord, good news! We have news of the young master!"
Lin Chengyi: "Where?"
Zhang Hongfu recounted all the information he had gathered.
The guards secretly protecting Lin Jiaxiang were all top-notch, but even so, they couldn't keep an eye on those people.
These guards were anxiously searching everywhere when they suddenly discovered traces left by the young master just yesterday.
When they arrived at the location, they discovered it was actually a salt field.
They had no choice but to return and consult their superiors before making a decision.
Lin Chengyi was furious upon hearing this, "What a Chen family! They actually possessed the salt mine, concealed it, and developed it privately."
Zhang Hongfu: "Sir, the Chen family can't escape now!"
To prevent the Chen family from discovering the situation, Lin Chengyi ordered his men to surround the Chen family's residence like an iron fortress.
Then, under the cover of night, they launched a joint attack with the secretly assembled constables and the garrison stationed there.
They finally captured everyone in the salt field.
At the same time, a voice appeared in Nanzhi's mind as she was preparing to go to sleep.
"Please go to the salt field to refine refined salt to benefit the people of Da Yang."
Having no other choice, Nanzhi rushed to the county government office the next day.
Lin Chengyi arrested a large number of people, and there were many other connections involved.
Lin Chengyi was completely overwhelmed.
