C13 From the beginning

After staying at the Wu City for a few more days and waiting for the new County Commander to take office, Lin Yi and his group prepared to explore the vicinity of the Wu City. Originally, Wang He, Lin Yi and Bao Fusheng were riding together, but Wang He was worried about Su Mu's body, hence he insisted on riding together with her, in order to be able to take care of her at any time.

"Siren, don't go back to the Laozi case this time. You have to take good care of your health. That's the best plan." Wang He was afraid that Su Mu would trap someone again and heavily injure the foundation of his body.

After nurturing her for so many days, Su Mu's face finally became a bit smoother. With a smile, he said, "We have to do some work if we want to follow a rich person. Moreover, this case isn't something that we meet just because we want to meet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage came to a sudden halt and stopped.

Logically speaking, Lin Fan and Bao were riding on horses to clear the way, so there shouldn't be any accidents happening. Unable to endure his impatience, Su Mu slowly lifted the curtain on the left side of the carriage and flicked it out.

She happened to be looking at the side of the street, where a few sturdy family servant s were walking in front, followed by a group of boys around ten years old. These boys all had delicate and pretty faces, it was obvious that they were children who had studied the Four Books and Five Classics in a private school.

Su Mu could not help but be surprised. How could such a group of boys be surrounded by the large and sturdy family servant? The boys also followed silently behind the family servant with their heads bowed.

After the helpless child was forcefully taken away like this, Su Mu couldn't help but tighten his grip on the curtain.

Just as she was about to speak out to stop him, Wang He tugged on the corner of her clothes from behind her.

Lin Yi, who was sitting on his horse, naturally saw the scene on the street. Bao Fusheng, who was beside him, spoke even more straightforwardly, "Your Highness, do you want to make a move?"

"Since this street is so long, why don't we take a look again?" Lin Yi did not shake his head or agree, he just quietly watched the scene on the street, as though he was waiting for something to happen.

As Lin Yi expected, when they were halfway through, a few women seemed to have heard of the news and rushed out from the crowd on the street and ran towards them.

"You can't take my child away, why are you doing this!" One of the women hugged a boy and shouted at the group of family servant.

The family servant laughed sinisterly, clenching his fist, he said: "Your son has conspired to kill my Young Master, and is not allowed to take him away? Let me tell you, if you don't kill them directly, you can consider it the benevolence of my master! "

"Nonsense, you don't have evidence. Why do you say we killed him?" A young man stood behind the woman and said timidly as if he was afraid. He lacked confidence.

When the family servant heard him, he sneered: "Evidence, our master's words are evidence!"

With that, he stretched out his hand to pull the women away, wanting to take the teenagers away.

There were countless people watching from three to three layers on the street. However, there was no longer one person who came forward to persuade them. To put it in a fair way, they were just standing by the street watching the fun that had nothing to do with them.

Upon seeing this, Su Mu, who had already walked down from the horse carriage, could not hold back anymore and wanted to go up to plead for justice. However, before Wang He could even pull at her, an old lady pulled her forcefully.

The slightly old and hoarse voice muttered next to Su Mu's ear, "Little gongzi, you're courting death! You must be from outside the city, right? How dare you meddle in the affairs of the Minister Wu? "

"Minister Wu?" Su Mu asked curiously.

When the old woman saw that Su Mu was indeed not a local, she kindly explained, "He is a local tyrant. He relies on his family's wealth and good relations with the county magistrate. He often commits crimes and no one dares to offend him!"

"Then we'll just let them take these children away for no reason at all?" Su Mu didn't understand.

The old woman, who was holding onto a walking stick, sighed, "What can we do then? Furthermore, they were not going to take him away this time for no reason at all. Minister Wu knew that it was these children who killed his son. "Let me tell you …"

"Mother, what are you talking about here!" He turned his head and smiled at Su Mu, "My apologies, little gongzi. My mother is old and her mind isn't clear. Please listen carefully and don't take it seriously."

With that, he pulled the old woman away and disappeared into the crowd.

Su Mu, who was originally standing at the beginning, slowly tidied up the old lady's words. With a slight turn of his head, he caught Lin Yi's scrutinizing gaze.

After meeting his gaze, Lin Yi indifferently looked away and said something to Bao Fusheng who was beside him.

In the next moment, he saw Bao Fusheng dressed in a white robe, as though he was a god that had descended to the world, flying straight in front of the leading family servant.

"Release him!" Bao Fusheng said straightforwardly.

The family servant looked at Bao Fusheng's figure and laughed disdainfully: "How can so many people be seeking death today? Brothers, it seems that I have to show some respect before I can continue to establish my prestige in Huai Liu County! "

After he finished, the family servant waved his hand towards the back, summoning all his brothers behind him. The surrounding people knew that they were about to fight and cause trouble so they quickly ran in all directions and closed their doors to return home.

In the bustling streets, only Lin Yi's group and the family servant remained. Even the women who were carrying their children took advantage of the chaos to pull their children away.

"Alright, now that all the prisoners have run away, if we don't beat you up and bring you back, we brothers won't be able to explain ourselves to the lord." The leading family servant loosened his muscles.

But Bao Fusheng did not even want to make a move, his gaze landed on Lin Yi who was riding the horse, eagerly waiting for the crown prince to come down and save him.

However, the Crown Prince did not come, but saw Su Mu who had stepped forward. He protected Bao Fusheng behind him and spoke to the group of Rakshasi family servant s: "Does your master want to find out who killed his son, or do you just want to find a few more ghosts to die with? "If you want to find the culprit, I can find him."

"Where is it cool, where are you going? Don't make trouble here, you little fart. Do you know what a murderer is?" You have to find the real culprit! " The family servant looked at Su Mu's weak appearance and frowned impatiently.

"How dare you! Do you know who you pushed?"

Lin Yi, who had not said a word all this while, had unknowingly walked to Su Mu's side and spoke to the group of family servant s with a serious tone.

family servant was shocked. They looked at each other, not daring to be sure. After all, the person who had spoken had an extraordinary bearing.

Thus, the few people on the street silently faced off against each other.
