ould tell that Big Sister was a reliable person. Though she didn't possess great talent, the business of medicinal herbs required someone cautious and meticulous. She didn't need to make outstanding c...When Zi Yi and Qing Yi followed Li Yuyao back to the Yang family, they were once again shocked by the environment where His Majesty now resided.

In the cramped room, thirteen people were huddled together, even the Emperor was sleeping on the floor with everyone else!

Let me introduce you, this is Ziyi, and this is Qingyi. They were both my maidservants. After we left home, we got separated. It took them a long time to find their way here.

"The woman in purple has good martial arts skills, and the one in blue is skilled at acupuncture. Husband, from now on, let them follow you. With them around, they can also protect your safety."

Li Yuxiang said to Yang Lin.

And Yang Lin shook his head like a tambourine.

"Please, please, please, protect me Don't cut off my fingers one by one, and I'll be eternally grateful!"

"This servant knows she was wrong, please punish her, Master!"

Purple and blue-clothed immediately knelt before Yang Lin.

"Oh oh oh, come on up, I was just kidding."

"You don't have to follow me. Just stay with your mistress and protect her...them. That's enough for me."

Being kidnapped for the first time and threatened with having his finger cut off, it was impossible not to be angry. However, now that the truth was out and he had two such powerful figures by his side, Yang Lin naturally wouldn't let things go unpunished.

Li Yuyu passed the package to Yang Lin.

This startled Ziyi and Qingyi again.

What is this

Yang Lin took the package and was also taken aback.

Before this, he had already seen that this package might be important. He didn't expect that after Li Yuyao got it from Ziyi, she would give it to him directly

"This is something of mine, very important to me! Please keep it safe for me, in a secure place," Li Yuyao said.

"No problem."

Yang Lin nodded directly.

Li Yuxiang added: "This is a serious matter, you can't look at the things in the package!"

No problem.

Yang Lin nonchalantly tossed the package. "It's pretty heavy," he said.

Saying that, he took his package and went out.

Ziyi and Qingyi were dumbfounded.

How could Your Majesty trust Yang Lin so much Even giving him the jade seal to keep

Is this Yang Lin really trustworthy If he promised not to look, will he definitely keep his promise

Yang Lin came to the backyard well, lifted the stone slab covering it, drew up a wooden bucket from the well, then placed the wrapped package in the bucket, put the bucket back into the well, and finally covered it with the slab.

To hide things in a dry well, it's not necessarily very secret. It's just that the house is too cramped and there's simply nowhere to put anything else.

As for the contents of the package, Yang Lin was naturally curious. But having promised someone else, he was still able to overcome this curiosity.

Thus, Zi Yi and Qing Yi arrived at this home as well, joining the other women and crowding together.

At first, the two were puzzled. Since their family was wealthy and had other houses, why didn't they spread their family members out to different houses Why did they have to squeeze into this small house instead

Gradually, they realized that the reason everyone was still crowded together was for safety!

And for the women, they have all suffered hardship. Now, although it is crowded during their rest time, they have already become accustomed to living together...

In Jianghe County, at the Zhou family residence. Zhou Kun, who was deep in thought in his study, was startled by the sudden knocking sound.

Since Yang Lin brought people to "deliver gifts", Zhou Kun and his son Zhou Zhengyang have been living in fear, unable to rest day or night.

Even for two days in a row, Zhou Kun dreamed of the black tiger's bloody head, with bloodshot eyes glaring at him and shouting: Give me back my life!

"Master, Zhao the official has arrived."

The old butler's voice rang out from outside the door.

Come in!

Zhou Kun awoke as if from a dream.

For a moment, Zhao Deyi pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Zhou Kun's tired face, he also couldn't help but frown.

"Master Zhao."

Zhou Kun hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists.

Zhao Deyi impatiently waved his hand, frowning and saying, "Lao Zhou, you say you, how could you be so scared They're just the corpses of bandits, they've all been dealt with, what's there to worry about"

Zhou Kun plastered a smile on his face, but inwardly he was seething.

He wanted to say, those dozen or so round heads weren't thrown into your home! If they were thrown into your yard, you wouldn't be faring any better either!

"Lord Zhao, what still worries me is Yang Lin! Now we can only reluctantly wait and see how Black Tiger and the others ended up dead at his hands"

"And Yang Lin, like this, is still a madman! He even killed the Black Tiger, so he wouldn't necessarily hesitate to attack us!"

"The most crucial thing is that this matter has spread. My reputation, Lao Zhou's, being tarnished is secondary. But the matter of colluding with bandits, if it reaches the ears of the County Magistrate, we are finished!"

Although Zhou Kun was frightened, he wasn't stupid. He knew what was important.

He even suspected that Yang Lin orchestrated this whole thing intentionally, to make a huge commotion, so big that even the old master on top couldn't pretend to be oblivious.

By then, even if he wasn't really colluding with bandits, he would be pushed out as a scapegoat by the higher-ups to appease public anger.

"Old Zhou, the reason I came this time is to discuss this matter with you." Zhao Deyi spoke first.

“Oh” Zhou Kun stared at Zhao Deyi, “Please show me the way, Lord Zhao.”

Zhao Deyi stroked his mustache: "The key to this matter still lies with Yang Lin!"

"This Yang Lin is not an ordinary person! Just a simple farmer from the countryside, he dares to come to your doorstep and cause trouble. We can't do anything about him, and if we don't deal with him in time, wait until he grows bigger, he will ride on our necks and **!"

Zhao Deyi narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint in them.

Zhou Kun, however, had a bitter expression on his face: "Zhao sir, your subordinates understand what you're saying. The problem is, there's nothing we can do about him!"

An ordinary person, he could manipulate him at will.

Ke Yang Lin even killed the bandits on Black Wind Mountain. If you really anger him, Ke Yang will become fearless like someone with bare feet compared to those wearing shoes.

This is also precisely where Zhou Kun feels helpless.

He can use all sorts of means to coerce Yang Lin, but once he makes another mistake, Yang Lin will definitely not hesitate to pay any price to kill him!

Who would provoke a madman

"Is there really no way"

Zhao Deyi let out a cold laugh: "This official has thought of a foolproof plan, which will surely send Yang Lin to his death with no place to bury him!"

"Oh" Zhou Kun exclaimed, his eyes widening. He quickly urged, "Please tell me more, Zhao Sir!"

Zhao Deyi stroked his beard: "There's less than half a month left before the summer taxes are due. We just need to gather three teams of yamen servants in advance and go to the mountain village. Find some excuse, and harass their villagers. If Yang Lin can't stand it and clashes with us, we can take advantage of the situation to arrest him and put a charge of treason on him! Kill him right then and there!"

"Remember, we're officials! The power is in our hands! If you slap him, will he dare to fight back If he does fight back, that's assaulting an official of the imperial court! So don't even think about fighting back, just as long as he dares to step forward, at least charge him with tax evasion!"eached out towards her.Big sister was so scared that she suddenly opened her eyes wide and gasped for breath.It was all a dream!She let out a long sigh.After waking up, she still felt a chill.She shiv...
