Chapter 521: Lin Yuelan goes to the County

Translator: Lonelytree

At this point, he paused for a moment, and his eyes shot a fierce glare at steward Yan, who was standing next to the bailiff. Steward Yan saw the viciousness in Yan Lin’s eyes, and his heart jumped. Immediately, a loud and heavy slap landed on his face.

“You dog slave!” Yan Lin shouted at steward Yan angrily. “I thought you were at home with your family when I didn’t see you for the past few days. I didn’t expect you to use my and your young master’s names to frame someone. You’re really bold!”

The intention of these words was very obvious.

He had used Steward Yan’s family to threaten him and made him take all the responsibility.

After reprimanding steward Yan, Yan Lin immediately smiled apologetically at the two bailiffs and said, ” brothers, I failed to control him and allowed him to do such a thing. I’m very sorry. However …” Yan Lin’s tone changed. “this dog slave of mine was also confused for a moment. On account that I know Lord Zhou, can you forgive him this once? ”

Before the two bailiffs had come to the Lin family Village, their Lord and the eldest young master had instructed them to be polite to no one but Lin yuelan and her guests.

Of course, this did not include Yan Lin from the Yan family.

Although Yan Lin kept saying that he had a friendship with their Lord, the truth was that their Lord did not tell them about Yan Lin before.

Since there were no instructions, there was no need to be polite.

Therefore, there was no need to listen to Yan Lin’s plea for mercy.

However, since this person had pushed the Butler out, and in fact, the Butler was the one who carried out this task, they had to take the Butler back to report and see what the Lord had to say.

The tall bailiff said, “A crime is a crime. There’s no excuse like a moment of confusion.”

As they spoke, they took the shackles and put them on steward Yan’s hand.

When Yan Lin pushed steward Yan out to take the blame, and his family was threatened, his face turned pale, and his body trembled with anger. He wanted to be angry, but he didn’t dare to. His expression was ugly, and he could only numbly let the two bailiffs put shackles on him.

After the two bailiffs had shackled steward Yan, they turned around and said apologetically but in a flattering manner, ” Miss Lin, the case you reported has irrefutable facts. The criminal has been arrested. Is that alright? ”

Upon hearing the bailiff’s words, Yan Lin’s expression was extremely ugly and twisted. The anger he was suppressing could be seen in his tightly clenched fists.

The way he looked at Lin yuelan was like a sharp cold knife, darkly shooting toward her. He wished he could cut her into a thousand pieces!

He had thought that the plan would go smoothly. After all, he had already informed County Magistrate Zhou in advance.

But now, they didn’t know what went wrong, but it actually caused them to suffer a double loss.

Lin yuelan ignored Yan Lin’s murderous gaze and nodded innocently at the two bailiffs. “yes, officers. I just want to catch the culprit!”

She believed that once steward Yan was caught, the things he would spit out would definitely make Yan Lin bear the consequences. And these things would definitely interest County Magistrate Zhou. For example, in order to force the tenant farmer to pay his debt, Yan Lin would forcibly take a good girl as a concubine and so on…

Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan followed the two bailiffs and left. The one who left with them was, of course, steward Yan, who no longer had any freedom.

At the Zhou mansion, County Magistrate Zhou placed his hands behind his back and nervously rubbed them against each other as he paced back and forth in the hall.

On the top seat of the right side of the bench sat a young man in a blue embroidered robe.

Zhou Wencai was holding a cup of tea in his hand. He opened the lid and gently fiddled with it. Then, he took another sip and put down the cup. He said to County Magistrate Zhou, ” my dear father, you’ve been walking here the entire morning. Aren’t you dizzy and tired? Even I, your son, am tired and dizzy.”

County Magistrate Zhou stopped in his tracks and looked at Zhou Wencai. He said worriedly, ” Wen ‘Er, the sun has already risen in the sky. It’s already noon. Why hasn’t Lin yuelan arrived yet? Will she think that I’m trying to harm her and refuse to come?”

After hearing Zhou Wencai’s warning, he didn’t dare to do anything improper to Lin yuelan. Therefore, Lin yuelan had the right to choose whether she wanted to come or not.

Zhou Wencai looked at his father speechlessly and said, ” dad, did you forget that it takes more than two hours to travel from the Lin family Village to Ning An town by carriage? It takes at least four hours to travel from Ning An town to the county city. In that case, it will take at least eight hours to travel from the Lin family Village to the county city. So, father, you can sit down with peace of mind. We still have to wait for at least two hours.”

And this was the time taken by the carriage. If they walked, they would need at least a day and a half.

As such, news from the Lin family Village would take two to three days to reach the county city unless someone had specially sent the message on a fast horse.

County Magistrate Zhou sat down.

However, once he sat down, he would drink some tea and raise his head to look outside.

After an unknown period of time, someone finally came to report and said, ” Sir, we’re back! They’re back!”
