Chapter 179: Lin Yuelan goes to the county seat
What do you don’t understand when I heard the voice of the village bully who is so familiar to the villagers of Linjia Village.:3.
The Yan family is just talking nonsense and accusing Lin Yuelan of kidnapping Yan Xiaoyong.
Although they all knew that Lin Yuelan refused to sell farming methods to the Yan family because of a few months ago, and even said that Yan Xiaoyong would pay his life. Therefore, it was understandable that the Yan family held a grudge against Lin Yuelan and falsely accused Lin Yuelan.
However, if they want to frame accusation, please don’t be so blatant, okay?
He locked the person in his own yard and told the public that Lin Yuelan kidnapped Yan Xiaoyong and could not treat these yamen runners as fools.
Indeed, these two yamen runners are not fools.
When they saw the strange expressions of the villagers, they knew that the child's voice coming from the yard of this house was the child who was accused of being kidnapped by people.
The two yamen runners turned dark, and then they walked to the gate and kicked them hard with their feet at the gate.
However, there was a tie inside, and the two of them did not kick the door open. Instead, Yan Lin was drinking tea and basking in the sun in the yard and Yan Xiaoyong were crying.
Yan Lin heard the hard knock on the door outside, his face turned dark and he asked sternly, "Who is outside?"
Before the people outside answered, Yan Xiaoyong's eyes rolled and he immediately said, "Dad, I'll go open the door. It must be the butler and the others who are back."
Then, before Yan Lin could react, Yan Xiaoyong had already run over and opened the door.
Yan Xiaoyong saw the two men standing in front of him wearing red bad clothes and holding big knifes, and his fat body shrank a little, and asked with a pale face, "Who are you?"
He has always been accustomed to being arrogant and domineering, except for his father, he is arrogant, which does not mean that the official yamen runners walking around the streets with big knives.
When these two people looked like those yamen runners on the street who looked very fierce.
The two yamen runners looked at the white and fat man in front of him who looked like a pig, and their eyes were fierce. They pointed at Butler Yan and the group behind him and asked, "Are you the young master of theirs?"
Yan Xiaoyong shrank his neck and replied in a low voice, "Yes...yes!"
Yan Lin was sitting there drinking tea, worried that Yan Xiaoyong would be seen by the people in Linjia Village when he opened the door, but he had no time to stop it, and the door was already opened.
However, when I saw two yamen runners and Butler Yan standing outside, my heart relaxed slightly.
However, when he stood up, he saw Lin Yuelan and the villagers standing behind the two yamen runners.
Yan Lin felt surging in his heart, and the expression on his face flashed in panic. After that, he came over calmly and treated the two yamen runners with a calm attitude, saying, "The two officials are here, please come in!"
Then, he turned his head and scolded Mr. Yan sternly, "Manager, how did I do things? The two adults are here and will not come back to report first. When Lord Zhou finds out, he thinks that Mr. Yan has neglected his subordinates.
Yan Lin's words sounded like a scolding of Butler Yan, but in fact, the meaning in his words was hinting at his friendship with the magistrate Zhou, so that the two yamen runners would not take their own actions.
Yan Lin said this, of course he didn't know that although County Magistrate Zhou came to Linjia Village to arrest people according to his plan, oh, not to hire someone, it was completely different from his original plan.
Otherwise, he would not have been implicit in his love with County Magistrate Zhou.
The two yamen runners frowned tightly as Yan Lin's words, and then asked in a stern tone, "Are you Yan Lin, the head of the Yan family?"
Hearing the yamen runner's question, Yan Lin frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, then let go of his brows and nodded in response, "Yes, I am Yan Lin, the head of the Yan family!" Then, when he saw the people following behind, he said in confusion, "This is..."
The tall yamen runner immediately said, "We received a report from Miss Lin, saying that you fabricated the matter and falsely accused her of kidnapping Yan Xiaoyong. But now the facts have proved that Yan Xiaoyong is standing here well. The truth is right in front of you. Yan Lin, go, go with us to the yamen!" As he said that, he was holding a pair of shackles to torture the prisoners and was about to bring Yan Lin.
Yan Lin was shocked, and his eyes suddenly contracted violently. Obviously, this was beyond his expectations.
Seeing the shackles, he was about to put it on his head. He suddenly avoided it, and asked with a look of horror and panic, "Two sirs, you are wronged. This matter is definitely a misunderstanding. Yan has been staying at home these days and has not taken a step out of the house. How could he have the opportunity to do the wrong and falsely accusation of Lin Yuelan? So, there is definitely a misunderstanding in this matter, oh, yes..."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and the fierce light in his eyes shot towards Butler Yan, who was standing next to the yamen runner. When Butler Yan saw the ferocity in Yan Lin's eyes, his heart suddenly jumped out. Then, a loud slap sounded on his face.
Yan Lin cursed at Butler Yan angrily, "You dog slave, I said you haven't seen you these days. Master, I thought you were at home with your family. Unexpectedly, you, the brave slave, actually used the name of Master, I and your young master to slander people. I really swear to you!"
This is very intentional.
He threatened Yan’s family and let Guanjun Yan take all the responsibilities.
After scolding Butler Yan, Yan Lin immediately compensated and said to the two yamen runners with a smile, "Two lords, Yan is not in control, and let him do such a thing. Yan is very sorry, but the two lords," Yan Lin changed his words, "Yan, a dog slave, was also confused for a moment. Seeing that Yan and Lord Zhou met, can you forgive him once?"
Before the two yamen runners came to Linjia Village, their elders and eldest son had already instructed them that when they arrived in Linjia Village, they had to be polite and respectful except Lin Yuelan and her guests, and there was no need to be respectful or polite to anyone.
And of course anyone includes Yan Lin, the Yan family.
Although Yan Lin always said that he had friendship with his parents, the fact is that his parents had no explanation at all.
Since there is no explanation, there is no need to be polite.
Therefore, there is no need to listen to Yan Lin's words of friendship and pleading.
However, since this person introduced the butler and the fact was that the butler was going to carry out the matter, they arrested the butler first and handed over the job to see what the adults had to do, and it would not be too late to take action.
A tall yamen runner said, "It's illegal to break the law. There is no excuse for a moment of confusion or confusion, or the first time to excuse me."
As they said that, they took the shackles and put them on Butler Yan's head.
When Yan Lin was pushed to take the blame, his family members were threatened, his face turned pale and his whole body was so angry that he was nervous. He wanted to be angry but did not dare to be angry, and he could only let the two yamen runners numbly tie him up.
After the two yamen runners put shackles on Butler Yan, they turned around and said with a little apology and a little flattering, "Miss Lin, the case you reported is true. Now the prisoner has been arrested by my brother. Is this OK?" In fact, what he said was, is it okay to arrest Butler Yan now?
Hearing the words of the yamen runner, Yan Lin's expression was extremely ugly and distorted, and his forbearing anger could be seen from his clenched veins and stormy fists.
His eyes at Lin Yuelan were like a sharp cold knife, shooting at Lin Yuelan gloomyly, wishing to cut her into pieces!
He originally thought the plan would be done well, but after all, he had already greeted County Magistrate Zhou in advance.
But now there are some mistakes now, so they can steal chickens without losing rice, and they will lose their wife and soldiers.
Lin Yuelan ignored Yan Lin's murderous gaze and nodded at the two yamen runners indifferently, "Okay, two big brothers of the official mission, I just need to catch the culprit!"
As for Yan Lin, I believe that if the housekeeper Yan arrested him, Yan Lin would have to eat and take care of the things he spit out of his mouth. These things would definitely make County Magistrate Zhou very interested. For example, in order to force the tenant farmer to have a debt, Yan Lin forced a good woman to be a concubine and a slave...
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan followed the two yamen runners, and of course, the one who walked together was the Yan Butler who had no freedom.
Zhou Mansion
County Magistrate Zhou put his hands on his back and rubbed each other nervously, and walked around the hall.
At the top seat of the stool on the right, a young man in brocade clothes dressed in a clear blue embroidered robe sat on the top.
Zhou Wencai held a cup of tea in his hand, opened the lid and gently plucked it. Then, he sipped it lightly, put down the tea cup, and said to the county magistrate Zhou, "I said my dear father, you have been here for a whole morning. You are not dizzy or tired. I am even tired, my son, and I am not dizzy."
County Magistrate Zhou stopped and looked at Zhou Wencai, saying with some concern, "Wen'er, you said the sun has risen in mid-air. At noon, why has Lin Yuelan not arrived yet? Will she refuse to come if I think I am not good for her?"
After hearing Zhou Wencai's warning, he did not dare to have any improper means to Lin Yuelan at will, so if he did not come, Lin Yuelan had the right to choose or refuse.
Zhou Wencai looked at his father speechlessly and said, "Dad, have you forgotten that even if you are taking a carriage, it will take more than an hour from Linjia Village to Ning'an Town. It will take at least two hours from Ning'an Town to the county and county town. After this calculation, it will take at least four hours from Linjia Village to the county and county town. So, Dad, you can sit down with peace of mind. We have to wait at least more than an hour."
This is still the time to ride a carriage. If you walk, you can walk for at least one day and a half.
Therefore, the news about Linjia Village that has reached the county and county town will be two to three days behind, unless someone deliberately rides a fast horse and whips them over.
County Magistrate Zhou sat down.
However, since he sat down, he had a drink of tea, raised his head and looked out.
I don’t know how long it took, but someone finally came to report and said, “Sir, I’m back! They’re back!”
Chapter completed!
