"I'm going back to the Jing Kingdom soon."
Li Yi looked at her, paused for a moment, and said, "It was an accident that I came here. Now it's time to go back …"
"You are going back to the Jing Kingdom …" Lin Wanru was stunned, but she soon came to herself and said, "It's not good to wander outside. You have to settle down eventually. But what about Miss Liu? If you go back like this, will your family …"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "I've talked to my family."
In the end, he didn't intend to tell Lin Wanru everything. It was good to say goodbye like this, and the impact on her heart might be less.
Lin Wanru thought for a moment and said, "When are you leaving? I'll arrange Brother Lin to escort you back, and bring some traveling expenses, which will be needed on the way."
"We're leaving today." Li Yi shook his head and said, "When we go back, there will be guards with us. We don't need to bother Brother Lin."
"Then …" Lin Wanru looked around and said, "There are still some things there. I'll go there first."
When Lin Wanru got up, there were many people around.
"Wanru, do you have a candidate in mind for the manager of the new shop?"
"Sister, is that the God of Fortune Money? Does the Qian family really want to cooperate with our Lin family?"
"The people of the Ma family, the Xu family, and the Bai family are back again. They are waiting there now. Would Wanru like to meet them?"
…
…
Lin Wanru waved her hand and said, "Let's talk about these things later. I'm a little tired. I'll go back to my room first."
The Lin family looked at each other. The new shop was about to open, and the God of Fortune Money personally came to visit. The Lin family could be said to be soaring today, and it was foreseeable that they would be rolling in money in the future. But she didn't seem to be in a good mood.
When Lin Yong came back with a pot of hot tea, he looked around in surprise, scratched his head, and asked, "What happened just now? They all looked … very strange!"
Li Yi reached out to him and said, "Sit down, I have something to tell you."
Lin Yong looked around and didn't find his Miss. Then he turned his head and said, "What's the matter?"
"Do you still remember the foreign businessmen that day?"
Lin Yong nodded his head and said, "I remember. You're the one who can't stop talking, right?"
"After cooperating with the Qian Family, the Lin Family's business will grow bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more shops. In the future, you will often see those foreign merchants. You just have to cooperate with them like before …"
"You can say these words to my Miss. I don't care what you say to me …" Lin Yong asked in surprise, "Oh right, what are we eating tonight? Is it the same as yesterday?"
"There is a box under the bed in the room next to Fanglin Garden. After tonight, you can take it out and give it to your Miss."
Lin Yong was even more surprised and asked, "Wait, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
Li Yi took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to him, saying, "Don't forget to give it to her. You must give it to her in person."
Lin Yong was stunned. He looked at him and asked, "What on earth happened?"
…
…
"Hurry up!"
On a street in Fengzhou City, a group of soldiers passed by quickly, and pedestrians gave way.
"What's going on? Are they going to arrest people again?"
"Didn't they say that those people have been surrounded by the Third Prince? How can they come out?"
"It seems that someone is going to be unlucky again …"
As the pedestrians on the street were talking, the young man in white who was walking in front urged again with a sullen face, "Hurry up. If they run away, can you bear the responsibility?"
A man who looked like an official followed him and asked carefully, "It's not good to arrest people so casually, right?"
The young man looked at him and said discontentedly, "What do you mean by casually arrest people? I suffered serious internal injuries because of him. Can't your yamen do something about it?"
The accompanying officials lowered their heads and said nothing. County Magistrate Wu was in real trouble this time. He couldn't afford to offend any of these people from the capital. Although they were surrounded by the guards in the courier station a few days ago, the guards had retreated. Which official in Fengzhou dared to offend the First Prince's people?
County Magistrate Wu thought to himself, "Even if you have serious internal injuries, you should at least pretend to be more realistic. It's too arrogant to arrest people so aggressively …"
However, he should be arrogant. Several officials in the yamen had been arrested by them. As a small county magistrate, if he disobeyed them on this matter, they could use any reason to take off his hat and escort him to the capital.
The young man urged, "Where is the Lin family? Are we almost there?"
County Magistrate Wu pointed to the front and said, "It's just in front, almost there …"
A trace of pleasure appeared on the young man's face. Although he wasn't surrounded in the courier station like the censors, he was still depressed. If he didn't take revenge, he wouldn't feel at ease when he returned to the capital.
He had to leave Fengzhou tomorrow. It wasn't easy for him to get an order from his cousin. What could a lowly businessman do?
However, time was short. He had to let the two women go this time. What a pity …
…
"Do you remember everything?" Li Yi looked at Lin Yong again and asked.
"Yes, I remember." Lin Yong nodded and immediately asked, "What happened? You should tell me now, right?"
"I'm leaving."
Lin Yong was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not too late to leave after you tell me what happened …"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the front, "Who is Li Xuan?"
Li Yi looked at him strangely and asked, "Is there a person called Li Xuan here?"
"Isn't that you?" Lin Yong looked at him in surprise.
Li Yi was stunned for a moment. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Sorry, I forgot."
Lin Yong looked at him and then at the group of officials pouring in from the door. He was confused until a somewhat familiar young man walked in from outside. His expression finally changed.
"Who is Li Xuan?" A man in an official uniform stood at the door and asked loudly.
Seeing the appearance of an official, everyone in the courtyard was stunned at first, and then they were all surprised.
The Lin family was really troublesome today. First, the Ma family, Xu family, and Bai family came to quarrel with each other. Later, the Money God came to cooperate with them in person. As soon as the Money God left, the officials came to the door. Didn't these people really discuss it?
"Who is Li Xuan?"
"I don't know. I've never heard of such a person in the Lin family … Is, is that the county magistrate?"
"Ah, why is the county magistrate here? Did the Lin family get involved in a lawsuit?"
"The county magistrate's arrival brings light to the Lin family …" While people were whispering timidly, the third master of the Lin family had already greeted the county magistrate with a frightened face. He asked cautiously, "May I know why the county magistrate has come to the Lin family?"
"There is a person named Li Xuan who is suspected of beating an official of the imperial court. Is he in the Lin family?"
The third master of the Lin family was stunned and said, "No, there is no shopkeeper surnamed Li in the Lin family, and there is no one named Li Xuan among the servants …"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came from the side and whispered, "Isn't the accountant brought back by the eldest sister called Li Xuan?"
