The prefectural magistrate was an interesting person.
It was not the right time for him to visit them.
However, his attitude was so respectful that no one could find any fault with him.
Although Lin Mengya had set him up, the governor was not angry.
He just smiled apologetically and returned to his seat.
He was able to strike a balance between the new and the old forces, which showed how capable he was.
"You're right, Your Highness. Even if you're not the princess, you're still a distinguished guest of our country. I took the liberty of coming here to ask you to help me find out something. "
The main point was here. However, Lin Mengya did not want to make things difficult for the governor since he was so tactful.
"Please go ahead, Your Highness."
Lin Mengya sat beside Zuo Qiuyu and said calmly.
"Do you remember Lord Zhu, Zhu Qiyun, Your Highness?"
Lin Mengya nodded. Of course, she remembered him. Moreover, this Lord Zhu was in the woodshed in the backyard.
"This morning, a servant who went to the Zhu Mansion to pour night incense came to the governor's office to report that several corpses were found in the backyard. I hurried to take a look, but I didn't know who the Zhu Family had offended. Unexpectedly, they were exterminated in a single night. "
Lin Mengya and Zuo Qiuyu pretended to be surprised.
Both of their acting skills could definitely win the Oscar. At this moment, the magistrate almost believed that these two people didn't know anything.
"So it's true. The news spread in the old capital in the afternoon. It was said that the Zhu Family was being hunted by evil spirits and the whole family had committed an unexpected disaster. I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. "
Zuo Qiuyu pretended to feel sorry for the Zhu Family, but his eyes were secretly looking at Lin Mengya.
"Sigh, who on earth did this to them? Governor, you'd better investigate it carefully. Otherwise, we'll be in danger. "
The governor immediately nodded and got to the point with Lin Mengya's words.
"You're right, Your Highness. We should investigate it strictly after such a thing happened. Therefore, I came here to invite Your Highness to my mansion for a talk. "
What a cunning fellow. If she had taken a step out of the Crown Prince's Mansion today, she would have been killed. She was about to be labeled as the murderer of the entire family.
Lin Mengya's expression suddenly turned cold and she slammed her jade-like hand on the table.
"What a great Nation of Lintian! What a great governor! You can't find the murderer, so you want me to take the blame? Fine, I'll go with you today, but if you can't show me the evidence of how I killed them, I'll kill them all. I immediately wrote a letter and reported it to my father! "
The governor broke out in a cold sweat.
It was not his idea to look for Lin Mengya. But he didn't expect that Princess Yu was as difficult to deal with as the legend said.
Who knew that the princess looked so weak? However, he was a person with sharp words and stern countenance. For a moment, he, who was used to beating around the bush, was in a dilemma.
"This … Your Highness, you're exaggerating. I'm just following the usual practice. I want Princess Consort to stay in the yamen for a few days. With Royal Prince Shen around, who would dare to disrespect you? "
At this moment, the governor couldn't hold it in any longer.
However, Prince Shen was eyeing him covetously.
He was afraid that Prince Shen would fly into a rage the moment he ordered his men to take down this woman.
Since both sides were uncomfortable, he could only choose the lesser of the two. "Someone, ask Princess Yu to go back."
Zuo Qiuyu immediately jumped up and stood in front of Lin Mengya to protect her.
The governor tried to be polite before resorting to force. Now, Lin Mengya finally understood what was going on.
If there was no one behind him, he wouldn't be so bold.
"It seems that the governor is determined to take me away today?"
Standing behind Zuo Qiuyu, Lin Mengya didn't show any fear on her face.
She looked at the governor coldly, and there was a cold light in her eyes.
"I'm just doing things according to the rules. Please forgive me if I've offended you."
After making up his mind, the governor was no longer as submissive as before.
The governor had instructed him to take Lin Mengya away. If he didn't do as he was told, he wouldn't end up well.
Although Prince Shen had a high status and power, his biggest backer was in Wangtian City.
The governor was a smart man. Of course, he knew how to get the most benefits.
"It's not difficult to take me away."
Lin Mengya suddenly spoke while the two sides were in a deadlock.
Zuo Qiuyu and the governor both looked at her.
"I wonder if there's anything else you're worried about, Your Highness."
Lin Mengya smiled and suddenly took out a token from her bosom.
It was a black and gold token with the word "Chen" carved on it in ancient seal script.
Above the word, there was a five-clawed golden dragon that was about to fly.
When the governor saw the token, he immediately knelt on the ground with all his men, their faces full of fear.
"This is — the Black Dragon Token! My brother, the emperor, has given this to you! "
Even Zuo Qiuyu felt inexplicably shocked.
The Black Dragon Token was almost equivalent to the highest power in the Nation of Lintian.
Compared to the imperial sword and the yellow magua, it had a different effect.
In principle, as long as the governor did not openly rebel, the person who held the Black Dragon Token could remove all his duties and replace him. In principle, as long as the governor did not openly rebel, the person who held the Black Dragon Token could remove all his duties in an instant and replace him.
Although the people in the Pavilion of Herbs had a high status and power, no one in the Nation of Lintian dared to openly go against the Black Dragon Token.
"Long live the emperor!"
The governor's mood was like a monstrous wave at this moment.
The reason why he was able to survive here was because both the new Emperor's side and the old factions were trying to rope him in rather than ostracize him.
If he lost the support of any party now, it would mean that he would become an abandoned chess piece.
Not to mention the position of the governor of the old capital, even if he was demoted to a commoner, he would not have a good ending.
However, he did not expect that the emperor would give the only Black Dragon Token to Princess Anle, who was standing in front of him.
He knew in his heart that the identity of Princess Anle had been confirmed!
"Lord governor, I have no intention of arguing with you. However, this is not a trivial matter. I think it's better for us to investigate carefully. Wouldn't it be a sin if we wrongly accused an innocent person? "
Before she came here, Cousin Chen had said that this token was given to her for self-defense.
When Yu An saw it, he had made a big fuss and explained to her the meaning behind it.
Although the old forces were deeply rooted, on the surface, Cousin Chen was still the only emperor of this country.
In particular, small pawns like them did not dare to disobey him.
Moreover, she had a more important role to play.
"Yes, you're right, princess. I'll get it done right away."
The governor wiped the perspiration off his forehead and could not help but cry out in his heart.
Why did he always have to do such a deadly task?
"Hold on, I have a message that I want you to pass on to him."
Lin Mengya certainly knew that the governor was merely a scapegoat.
The mastermind behind him was her real enemy.
"Please speak, princess."
"Please help me pass on a message. It's the doing of a villain to stab someone in the back. Although I'm a woman, I'm magnanimous and not afraid of gossip."
Lin Mengya said in a low voice. The governor nodded and almost took the lead to applaud Lin Mengya.
"I'll pass on the message. Your Highness, I'll take my leave. Your Highness, I'll take my leave. "
The prefectural magistrate led his men out of the main hall of Prince Shen's Mansion respectfully.
Lin Mengya weighed the Black Dragon Token in her hand and a disdainful look appeared on her face.
It seemed that the death of the Zhus had made some people exasperated.
"Why did you take this out? Anyway, he won't be able to take you away as long as I'm here. It's better to save it for more important times. "
Zuo Qiuyu looked at the Black Dragon Token in Lin Mengya's hand helplessly and jealously.
The emperors of each dynasty would only bestow this to the ministers or relatives they valued the most.
He did not expect that his brother's token would fall into Lin Mengya's hands.
It was unfair! How could he forget his own brother when he had a cousin? Humph!
"I'm taking this out to whack a mole. The size and weight of this thing are just right."
Lin Mengya explained with a faint smile. Zuo Qiuyu, who was standing beside her, was stunned.
Wasn't it a waste to use the Black Dragon Token to whack a mole?
"Cousin, what do you mean by this? Hey! Why are you walking so fast? "
Zuo Qiuyu was extremely curious as he chased after Lin Mengya.
What kind of mole was his cousin going to whack?
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Although Long Tianhao had used up a lot of his strength, Although Long Tianyu was exhausted, he was no longer as crazy as before when his drug addiction broke out.
However, Lin Mengya still hid outside every time and asked Zuo Qiuyu to apply the Fiery Green Jade Ointment on her.
The burning pain had gradually subsided over the past two days.
Although Lin Mengya would sleep for half a day after applying the ointment. Eventually, it was no longer that unbearable.
Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.
"Oh, Master Long, you're walking. Tsk, tsk, it's worth my effort to take care of you. "
The sun was shining brightly. Lin Mengya was helping Long Tianyu to stretch his muscles in the small courtyard where she lived.
Zuo Qiuyu, who had disappeared early in the morning, rushed over. When he saw how attentive Lin Mengya was to Long Tianyu, he could not help but make sarcastic remarks.
Long Tianyu looked up. Although his face was still pale, he was no longer as haggard as before.
The wounds on his body had formed faint red scars.
After hearing Zuo Qiuyu's words, Long Tianyu did not retort. Instead, he held Lin Mengya's slender waist tightly with his big hand.
He was indeed the legendary master who would show off his affection at the slightest disagreement!
How shameless! "
