Lin Mengya looked at the governor in front of her again. She had only heard that he came from a noble family. He was known to be unafraid of power, fair and honest.
However, after a few times of contact, Lin Mengya felt that he was very interesting.
He was fair and tactful. He could deal with many forces, so he must have a lot of means.
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. Then she decided to win him over no matter what.
"You think too much, Your Excellency. In fact, I came here to report a case to you. After all, a thief broke into my family. If I don't come here in person, it will be hard for you to explain, right? "
Hearing Lin Mengya's words, Lord Xu finally had a clue.
As long as they weren't here to ask him to release Lin Nansheng, it wouldn't be difficult for them to do anything else.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Madam. However, I'm afraid that this thief is going to … "
Although the person who was sent here last time was proved to be a servant of the Shangguan family, the Shangguan family did not do anything, so they could not find anything wrong with it.
After all, with just the servants, they wouldn't be able to hinder the Shangguan family.
If he acted rashly, when the time came, as long as the Shangguan family threw out the evidence that the servant had been sold, they would be able to shirk all responsibility.
He believed that the eldest daughter of the Lin family understood this point better than him.
Lin Mengya smiled and interrupted Lord Xu.
"These thieves are some roaming bandits. I believe that Your Excellency has long hated them. Why don't we use them to frighten those rascals? Of course, as a woman, it is really difficult for me to guess Your Excellency's mind. But Your Excellency is fair and will definitely benefit the people. I came here this time only to be a victim. Please don't think too much, Your Excellency. "
After Lin Mengya finished speaking, she got up and was about to leave.
In an instant, Lord Xu's excuse to persuade Lin Mengya not to be too entangled in this matter was stuck in his throat.
Watching the woman leave, Lord Xu could not come to his senses for a long time.
By right, the Shangguan family and the Lin family were already sworn enemies. Why didn't the eldest daughter of the Lin family ask him to investigate the relationship between those people and the Shangguan family? Instead, she took the initiative to find a way out for him.
To convict those people only because they were roving bandits, wouldn't that be giving the Shangguan family an advantage?
For a moment, Lord Xu was also stunned on the spot. It seemed that the mind of the former Princess Yu was really unpredictable.
After leaving the capital governor's office, Lin Mengya did not return home.
Instead, he casually parked his sedan in a teahouse.
She brought her people to a private room on the second floor to rest and enjoy tea, while Qinghu, who had always been by her side, was nowhere to be seen.
No one knew what Lin Mengya was planning.
But looking at her indifferent expression, it seemed that she had a well-thought-out plan.
The four maidservants were used to their master's mysterious look, so they just stood by her side and didn't ask any questions.
Ten minutes had passed, but Lin Mengya was still sitting steadily.
However, the noisy street had become much quieter at some point in time.
Lin Mengya's eyes quietly fell on a few small stalls that had just disappeared.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a knowing smile.
"Let's go to Ziwei Alley."
Before her voice died away, Qinghu appeared in front of Lin Mengya. With a somewhat frivolous smile on his handsome face, he smiled brightly at Lin Mengya, revealing his neat white teeth.
"Now that the flies have been driven away, it's the best time."
Lin Mengya smiled brightly, as if she was playing a riddle with Qinghu.
The four maidservants looked at each other, but in their hearts, they didn't understand what game Qinghu was playing with their master.
After coming out of the teahouse, Lin Mengya bent down and got into the sedan.
On both sides of the street, several stalls that had just been emptied had now been quietly filled up.
Inadvertently, she glanced over a few dark faces. They were really not good at disguising themselves.
How could there be a stall owner on the street who only stared at her sedan and forgot to shout?
A stall selling rouge was next to a stall selling water, and a stall selling lime was next to a stall selling candied fruit. The fisherman was wearing a pair of brocade boots, and there was a brand-new ax hanging on the waist of a woodcutter.
Shaking her head, Lin Mengya put down the curtain of the sedan. Perhaps as informants, they were all excellent at martial arts.
But in terms of disguise, they still lacked a lot of detailed imitation.
As long as one was a little careful, he would be able to recognize that they did not conform to common sense. What's more, she knew that there were many pairs of eyes staring at her from the side.
"As you expected, after we left, Lord Xu sent someone to the palace to deliver a letter."
Qinghu, who was dressed as a guard, leaned against the sedan and whispered to Lin Mengya.
"Of course he will go. Lord Xu is the Emperor's man. This time, I did him a favor. Naturally, his master will also return the favor. "
If he was not the Emperor's man, then his elder brother would not be locked up here, and even received some preferential treatment.
Not to mention that Long Tianhao could arrange for them to meet.
Moreover, the Emperor probably understood that the Lin family could hand over the military power and lay low, but absolutely could not be slaughtered wantonly.
Otherwise, they would lose the long-standing power that had always supported the royal family.
Therefore, the Emperor probably also knew that his elder brother had the ability to prove that he did not collude with the enemy country.
Even if his elder brother did not say it, the Emperor would let him be free from this crime.
Therefore, she did Lord Xu a favor, and in return. As the master behind the scenes, of course, the Emperor had to open a door for her.
On this point, she and the emperor had a tacit understanding of each other.
As for those who disappeared, they were replaced by the Emperor's men.
At this time, if she really wanted to hide it from everyone's eyes and ears, it would be nothing more than wishful thinking.
Therefore, she had to settle for the second best. As long as the Emperor had no intention of stopping her from clearing her elder brother's name, it would not matter if he knew.
"I've already inquired about it. Ziwei Alley is not far from here. It was just that he had never heard of Gou San before. Are you sure that the person your elder brother mentioned can really be found there? "
Compared with Lin Mengya, who was a big target, Qinghu, who had superb lightness skills, came and went more freely.
After glancing at him, Lin Mengya shook her head thoughtfully.
"I don't know. Let's make every possible effort."
Since her elder brother said so, it meant that Gou San could really be cleared of his crime.
But just as Qinghu had said, how was she going to find out who this person was?
Moreover, she and the emperor had found this gap before the Shangguan family realized what was going on.
Once they missed it, they did not know when they would have such an opportunity again.
Therefore, she had to seize it well to live up to her elder brother's expectations.
Ziwei Alley was just the most common alley in the Capital City.
But there were not many people here, and it was near the government office, so it was quite quiet.
Lin Mengya felt that if everyone went there, they would be too big a target. Therefore, she sent the servants and a few maids back, and only brought Qinghu with her.
Standing at the deep alley entrance, Lin Mengya was at her wit's end.
She could not shout about it, otherwise, if it was known by others, all her previous efforts would be in vain.
"How about I go from house to house to check. The person who has a personal relationship with your elder brother must not be an ordinary person. I still have this little bit of eyesight. "
Qinghu did not want Lin Mengya to worry like this, so he volunteered.
Lin Mengya thought for a while, but rejected his idea.
"No, he doesn't know why we are here. Moreover, my elder brother's accident has already spread all over the Capital City. What if he thinks that we are going to harm him? What if he hides or takes the opportunity to run away? "
There was a big locust tree outside Ziwei Alley.
At this time, the tender green leaves formed a complex crisscross, casting a light shadow.
Lin Mengya and Qinghu stood in the shadow and talked softly.
One was a peerless beauty that was carved from jade, while the other was peerless in a way that was difficult to distinguish between a man and a woman.
When the two of them stood together, it was definitely a very enviable scene.
But they did not know that their figures had already fallen into the eyes of a person.
Lin Mengya, who had no way out, was frowning and thinking carefully. She saw Qinghu, who was comforting her in a gentle voice, suddenly pull her into his arms.
Then, his right hand grabbed her back as fast as lightning. The next second, the crisp sound of bones breaking, mixed with the man's scream, surprised Lin Mengya.
When she looked up, the gentleness on Qinghu's face had disappeared, replaced by a frightening coldness between his eyebrows.
She had not seen him like this for a long time.
Lin Mengya turned her head and saw a face that was grimacing in pain.
"Ouch, ouch! My hand! Beauty, hurry … let go of my hand! "
The man was in so much pain that he was almost in tears, but his tone was still frivolous.
Qinghu hated people like this the most. He grabbed the man's fingers and slightly tightened his grip. Suddenly, the man's wrist was twisted into a very strange angle.
"Beauty … beauty, I'm being rude … ouch, let go of me!"
The man's facial features were twisted. Lin Mengya looked at him and found that although the man's mouth was not honest, there was no evil desire in his eyes.
On the contrary, even though he was in so much pain, when he saw Lin Mengya looking at him up and down, he tried hard to force a polite smile.
"Little beauty … can you talk to this beauty … let go of me, please?"
Being called a beauty, Lin Mengya only felt that this man was a little strange. In fact, there was no other emotion in his tone.
