Lin Chang'er raised an eyebrow, "If you do this, won't your father want to slap you?"
Wu Qingfeng chuckled, "He should thank me."
Lin Chang'er then asked, "Won't this expose you?"
Wu Qingfeng shook his head with a smile, "It's alright. As long as I don't show up myself, what can that bastard do to me?"
Lin Chang'er pouted. What were they doing, ignoring all that effort they put into pretending he wasn't there?
However, to be honest, he and Magistrate Yang were of equal rank, so even if he stepped in, it seemed that he really couldn't do anything to that bastard.
Lin Chang'er's eyes flickered, and she asked him, "But once you use this token, someone closely related to you must appear."
She thought for a moment, "Should I go?"
Wu Qingfeng waved his hand, "Let Chen Zhao go. He is Prefect Chen's nephew. Although Headmaster Chen himself is not in the court, many officials in the court have studied at Yunhai Academy and received his teachings and favors."
"As the magistrate of Ninghai County, it is reasonable for me to present the token representing the Wu family to the next generation of the Chen family."
"Furthermore, Chen Zhao is still a child. If he succeeds, it will be a meritorious deed; if he fails, it will be considered innocent childish talk. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away; the Yunxing Marquis's mansion cannot reach Ninghai County."
To be precise, the Marquis of Yunxing's mansion will soon cease to exist.
Seeing that he already had a plan, Lin Chang'er didn't say anything more, but only asked Liu Zi to replace Chen Zhao, who was maintaining order.
He asked Wu Qingfeng to guide him on his future actions.
Under the covered bridge, Magistrate Yang's attendant trembled all over, pressed against the bridge pillar, when a long arrow shot through his hair and embedded itself several inches into the pillar.
"Master, Master..." The servant was terrified.
Magistrate Yang was also startled, but he was a man who had seen a lot in his life, so he quickly calmed down and scolded his servant, "What are you panicking about?"
As he spoke, he pulled out the arrow with trembling hands. When he saw the "Wu" character token hanging on the arrow, Magistrate Yang's eyes widened like a bull's.
"Wu, the Wu family?" He murmured, seemingly still in disbelief, and remained stunned for a long time.
It wasn't until Yun Sheng, who was hanging above his head, was swaying and cursing for a long time that he finally looked up, his eyes filled with dejection as he looked at his beloved grandson, "Sheng'er, how did you get involved with the Wu family?"
The servant reminded him, "Master, the most important thing is to put the young master down first."
Magistrate Yang was completely captivated by the Wu-character token.
The Yunxing Marquis's Mansion was involved in the White-Clothed Marquis's Mansion case back then. The Wu family, the Beizhen Prince's Mansion, and the White-Clothed Marquis's Mansion were in cahoots.
They can be considered mortal enemies.
But since they were all from noble families, a single move could have far-reaching consequences, so over the years, they had kept to themselves.
Who would have thought that they would meet again in this remote place, having never clashed in the capital?
Magistrate Yang was preoccupied with his own thoughts and couldn't even think about his eldest grandson, who had just been rescued and desperately needed comforting.
Yun Sheng was finally rescued while he was cursing the 108th generation ancestor of Daolin Chang'er.
As soon as the ropes binding his hands and feet were loosened, he ripped the shoe out of his mouth and kicked the servant who had put him down, saying, "Clumsy, you made me suffer."
The servant dared not speak out in anger, and had to force a smile and offer Yun Sheng a cloak to cover his shame.
Yun Sheng, having vented his anger, ignored him and turned to Magistrate Yang to complain, "Grandfather, it's that bastard Yun Sheng who has taken a sister in some brothel and even hired an opera troupe to perform for him."
“They’ve become really outrageous now, they even dare to lay a hand on me. Look, this slap mark on my face is from him.”
Magistrate Yang snapped out of his daze, looking at the obvious handprint on his eldest grandson's face, and felt a pang of heartache. "Yun Sheng, how dare he?"
"He not only dared to do that, he also insulted your grandfather by saying you were a lowly groom." Yun Sheng felt like he was about to die of anger just thinking about it.
What kind of person dares to challenge him?
Then, as if remembering something, he continued, "They're inciting the people around you to sue you! They're acting like it's real, as if they think I'm some kind of country bumpkin."
Yun Sheng opened and closed her small mouth, babbling on and on as she made her accusations.
Completely oblivious, the more he spoke, the tighter Magistrate Yang's brow furrowed.
Finally, it was so tight it could almost kill a fly.
Magistrate Yang asked him, "Sheng'er, tell your maternal grandfather in more detail what happened."
Yun Sheng said nonchalantly, "This morning I brought a few servants to have breakfast under the covered bridge, but who would have thought that I would run into that bastard Yun Sheng."
"He escaped two years ago, but now that I've met him, I'll let him go. Of course, I'll break his arms and legs, take him back, and keep him like a dog in a pen for everyone to enjoy."
"Who knew, Grandfather, you didn't see it. That bastard Yunqing, I don't know which opera troupe he hired, he even cheated on me and attacked me right away."
“I was being held down by that bitch and couldn’t move. Then that son of a bitch Yunqing came up and slapped me. Later, the kid who was with him even brought an old man who said he knew a lot of people in the court and wanted those officials to submit memorials to impeach you.”
"How could I trust him? That bastard hit me, and then a few troublemakers showed up. Maybe they were just actors he hired to put on a show..."
They also mentioned the demands of the people who wanted to appeal to Headmaster Chen.
Yun Sheng scoffed, "It's an honor that the steward and uncles have taken a liking to their land and the girl's secret recipe. These unruly people don't even know how to be grateful and actually want to file a lawsuit. They're utterly audacious..."
After hearing his words, Magistrate Yang's expression became even more solemn, because these things were all true, and he was aware of them as well.
As for Yun Sheng, whether he chose to forget or got carried away talking, he completely forgot the trouble his mouth had caused.
Magistrate Yang's heart pounded, but as someone who had weathered many storms, he quickly regained his composure.
The people of Su County want to sue him? That's just wishful thinking. When the people sue the government, the show of force before the trial can easily cost them their lives if manipulated.
As for the people Sheng'er mentioned, since they are related to Yun Sheng, this scourge, let's get rid of them all at once and be done with it.
However, since he didn't hear any clues related to the "Wu" family in Hao Dasun's words, he remained quite vigilant.
He asked, "Sheng'er, is there anyone with the surname Wu among their group?"
Yun Sheng shook his head, "I don't know that. That bitch introduced herself as Yun Qing's bastard sister, but the others didn't say anything!"
After pausing for a moment, he said again, "Grandfather, this is your territory. How dare the Wu family extend their reach so far?"
Magistrate Yang frowned. Who didn't know this was his territory?
Whether the Wu family can reach that far is another matter.
However, there's not much to discuss regarding the death of Yunqing's mother back then.
Although they have covered up the matter on the surface, if you really want to, you can still find clues.
In other words, if Yun Qing were to get involved with the Wu family, that matter simply wouldn't stand up to scrutiny!
