Chapter 47: The Governor's Daughter

Yang Lin walked over to the side of the yamen officers.Zhang Wu let out a disdainful cold snort. “Kid, you want it all Fine! A thousand wen!”He didn't believe anyone in the village could easily come...Because they all knew that the two of them were returning to the house with crossbows, ready to ambush!

This is also the worst outcome they came up with after discussing it.

Although once you make a move and kill the people at the county office, your future life will be devoid of peace.

But Yang Lin had no way.

He has no faith in the laws of this world.

Therefore, no matter what, you and your family must not fall into their hands!

If he were truly driven to desperation, he would have no choice but to resort to this last measure!

Everyone was on edge, but no one noticed that Xiao Jiu seemed to be lost in thought, his expression vacant.

The heavy footsteps grew closer and closer. Led by the house slaves sent by Liu, Zhao Deyi arrived at Yang Lin's gate with his men.

"Who is Yang Lin"

As soon as Zhao Deyi shouted this, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

In the courtyard, eight women, with varying figures and appearances, each one a visual delight.

Only Yang Lin, a man among flowers, stood out.

"You are Yang Lin"

Zhao Deyi frowned, becoming even more displeased.

"I, Zhao Deyi, County Magistrate of Jianghe! Yang Lin, you dare to commit murder last night and falsely accuse Liu Youcai! Now I have investigated the truth, the evidence is conclusive, if you don't surrender obediently and come with me!"

Yang Lin sighed inwardly.

Zhao Deyi's identity was just as he had expected.

As for how to turn the tables, it really doesn't matter.

Yang Lin looked into the distance.

There was no sign of movement in the distance.

He frowned, he didn't want to take that step until the very last moment!

As Zhao Deyi barked the order, the guards on either side stepped forward, ready to apprehend him.

"Hold on!"

Yang Lin shouted: "Zhao sir, things are not as you say. Last night Liu Youcai sent someone to kill me, with both people and evidence. Zhao sir can verify it."

Although he knew that further explanation was futile, he had to buy some time now.

"Hmph! Don't try to plead! Whether you are guilty or not, this official decides! What are you waiting for, take him down!"

Seeing the officers swarming, the women panicked and all forgot their earlier agreement not to obstruct the line of fire. Instinctively, they all rushed forward and stood in front of Yang Lin.

The constables don't care about that, they just jump in and start being rough.

Yang Lin seeing the situation, also hurriedly shouted: "Make way!"

He knew that the housemaid and his third sister could start at any moment. They weren't following the plan, standing here was only causing trouble!

Yang Lin's reminder made everyone realize, some stepped aside, but others were still unwilling, and continued to block Yang Lin's path.

At this time, Xiao Jiu stood up.

She extended her little hand, pointing at Zhao Deyi sitting on horseback, and said coldly: "A mere county magistrate dares to flaunt his power, distort the truth, what a bold act!"

The scene fell silent instantly.

Everyone looked at Xiao Jiu in surprise.

Even Yang Lin was taken aback.

He never expected Little Nine to actually stand up.

When the guards saw that someone dared to scold their county magistrate, they were surprised to find it was just a young girl. They rolled up their sleeves and prepared to beat Xiao Jiu.

"My father is Han Feng, the magistrate of Nanyang. I am his third daughter, Han Mengzhu! See who dares to touch me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the government officials who had just rolled up their sleeves all froze.

The magistrate was a fifth-rank official who governed the entire Nanyang County, including its six subordinate counties.

Their county magistrate is only a seventh-rank official, let alone the eighth-rank county lieutenant who's not even considered respectable.

The yamen servants looked at Zhao Deyi in bewilderment for a moment.

When Zhao Deyi heard this, he was also taken aback, but then he burst into laughter.

"Are you the daughter of Prefect Han""That's right!"

Little Jiu held her arms and looked up.

"Bah!"

Zhao Deyi said coldly, "If your father were a magistrate, my father would still be the emperor!"

"Little girl, petty tricks won't fool me!"

"You must not know, this official has had the good fortune to meet Master Han once and learned that Master Han's family has three sons and two daughters! Hmph, pretending to be Master Han's third daughter You dare!"

"Come on, you lazy bums! What are you waiting for" Zhao Deyi shouted at the guards. "That girl's clearly impersonating someone. Don't you think it's strange that the magistrate's daughter would come to such a remote place"

The officials were stunned, and upon closer thought, they realized that this made perfect sense.

They don't know what the magistrate's daughter is like, but they probably think she's a typical sheltered noblewoman who never leaves her mansion. How could she end up in such a remote and impoverished place, marrying a poor scholar

Thinking this way, the constables immediately became angry.

"Dare you mess with me"

"If you're all accomplices, then arrest them all!"

The constables reached out and grabbed at Xiao Jiu.

Xiaojiu was flustered all of a sudden.

"I'm really Han Feng's daughter! You have to believe me!"

"Zhao County Magistrate! If you dare to touch me, I will tell my father and have him punish you!"

Little Nine shouted.

However, the officials didn't believe it.

"Xiaojiu, come back quickly."

Yang Lin hurriedly pulled Xiao Jiu behind him.

He sighed, thinking that Xiao Jiu, this little girl, was truly spirited and clever to have come up with such a lie. Unfortunately, pretending to be the magistrate's daughter had too many loopholes and failed to fool anyone.

Don't say Zhao Deyi didn't believe it, Yang Lin himself didn't believe it.

The battle was imminent, yet Xiao Jiu still stood at the front. Yang Lin worried that arrows might accidentally injure her, so he hurriedly pulled her back.

"Brother, I really am Han Feng's daughter. Han Feng is a big jerk. I didn't want to admit him, but today I had no choice but to do so, but they don't believe me..."

Xiaojiu's tears were streaming down her face.

Yang Lin's heart skipped a beat.

Could she be telling the truth

However, Yang Lin knew that even if Xiao Jiu was telling the truth and was truly the daughter of the magistrate, it wouldn't mean anything.

A county official is no match for someone in control right now. Don't say she's the magistrate's daughter; even if the emperor himself came, without soldiers and generals, it would be useless.

Because compared to a scary title, the strength you hold in your hand is the most important!

"Okay, it's fine."

Yang Lin shielded Xiao Jiu behind him and shouted, "I take full responsibility for my actions. County Magistrate Zhao, I'll go with you!"

Yang Lin said, and was about to stretch out his hands.

They had agreed in the morning that as soon as he raised his hands, it would be a signal to fire arrows!

However, just then, a group of people rushed over from not far away.

Here comes the guard!

Zhong Tao, leading a group of people, rushed directly into the courtyard and confronted the yamen guards.

Meanwhile, villagers carrying various farming tools also came rushing in.

"Do not arrest Yang Lin!"

"Clearly, it was Liu the landlord who committed murder. You guys aren't going after him, but instead you come to arrest Yang Lin Is there any justice left in this world"

"Why don't we just go catch Liu Youcai"

More and more villagers gathered.

When Yang Lin saw this, he thought to himself, "Oh no!"

The villagers stood up to defend him now, and he was moved by their support.

But this also ruined his plan.

In such a chaotic scene, it would be difficult for the madam and the third sister to shoot arrows if they were hiding inside!s already made some connections. If I can't get the support of Zhao family in the county town, then... Ai!""Whether Uncle Three can continue to be the village head depends on you!"In Dayi, village he...
