County Magistrate Lin thought for a while and said, "Then Lord Su..."

"Lord Lin, this matter can't be told to you by my father in person, right?" Su Zhier said.

"I'm here to tell you in person, what else do you still not believe?" Su Zhier said, "This is about my maid, so I have to take care of it."

Besides...

Su Zhier didn't say it clearly.

County Magistrate Lin was not a good official who loved the people like his own children. He was good at taking shortcuts and always wanted to please everyone in the officialdom.

On weekdays, if they were all ordinary people, he would be more fair in judging cases.

If one side was slightly richer and could secretly give him some benefits, he would immediately favor that side.

This was even more true when he met a powerful person.

In the past, Li Huailin had been stationed at the border and had not returned.

County Magistrate Lin was not afraid.

Anyway, Governor Su didn't care about him much.

County Magistrate Lin was also a sensible person, and he had given good things to Prefect Su.

But now that Li Huailin was back, County Magistrate Lin was still not sure where Li Huailin's bottom line was, so he acted more cautiously.

Otherwise, Su Zhier would not have come to find County Magistrate Lin.

"Lord Lin, if you don't believe me, you can go and talk to my father afterwards." Su Zhier said, "If I dare to mess around, I won't get a good reputation with my father, right?"

She was sure that County Magistrate Lin would not ask Prefect Su directly.

These people have a lot of twists and turns in their hearts.

Whatever they say or do, they have to take a hundred or eighty turns.

They won't say anything directly, but will only hint at it.

Even if they hint at it, they have to pay attention to the timing. As for when this opportunity will come, County Magistrate Lin will have to find it well.

By the time County Magistrate Lin found it and hinted at Prefect Su, it was unknown how long it would have passed.

By that time, the matter would have been resolved long ago.

Besides, this matter was not a big deal, and it had been a long time since it happened, so it was even more impossible for Magistrate Su to take it to heart.

"I understand." County Magistrate Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Su, I know what to do."

"Then everything depends on Lord Lin." Su Zhier said with a smile.

County Magistrate Lin took the lawyer back to the hall.

Chun Chao then asked Su Zhier, "Miss, those two are not my brother and sister-in-law." It was the people who came to find Li, and they had nothing to do with them.

"Did I say they were your brother and sister-in-law?" Su Zhier said coldly, "I only said they were the brother and sister-in-law of one of my maids. I have so many maids, but did I say they were yours?"

Chun Chao's nervous breathing was disordered.

Although she said so, Su Zhier's hint just now would make anyone think it was her brother and sister-in-law.

County Magistrate Lin just glanced at her.

"Chun Chao, stay with me and be smart." Su Zhi'er said coldly, "Don't let your expression reveal your trap and hold me back."

"Besides, with me here, what are you afraid of? Can I let you suffer?" Su Zhi'er said coldly.

"Yes." Chun Chao lowered his head, not believing Su Zhi'er's words.

Following Su Zhi'er, she suffered a lot.

But she had no choice and could not make her own decisions.

In this life, I am afraid that I can only follow Su Zhi'er.

Chun Chao took a deep breath and said, "Miss, will Lord Lin really agree to our request?"

"Of course not?" Su Zhi'er said disdainfully, "The owner of Wangyou Xiaojie is just a merchant, how can he be compared with my father?"

"Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lowest class. Even if he is really wronged, what can we do?" Su Zhi'er didn't care, "Even if he is wronged and has grievances, he has to swallow it himself."

"If he wants to blame someone, he can only blame himself for being just a merchant and not being able to compare with me." Su Zhi'er said with her neck tilted back.

Chun Chao lowered his head and stopped talking.

County Magistrate Lin returned to the court and called someone over, saying, "Take a few people with you to check Wangyou Xiaojie's warehouse and back kitchen to see if their things are really clean."

"Also, have someone go to the market to find the vendors who bought from Wangyou Xiaojie and ask them about their daily purchases to check the quality of the food to see if it's as Wangyou Xiaojie said."

"Go to the clinic and ask the doctor about the two people's visit today, their conditions, what medicine they took, and how much they spent." County Magistrate Lin said again.

"Yes!" The official took the order and left.

Li Mumu and the other four were all wearing veils in the crowd outside the government office and heard what County Magistrate Lin said in the hall.

Min Huilan whispered, "I've always heard that County Magistrate Lin is not that good, but I didn't expect that he was quite capable of solving a case today."

"Let's wait and see." Li Mumu whispered, "He just went to the back hall with the lawyer. I don't know what happened."

"You said it's related to this case?" Min Huilan asked.

Li Mumu nodded, "I haven't heard of any urgent official business recently."

Li Mumu was not completely ignorant.

Although Gu Shangqing's official position was not high, he was involved in many important military affairs.

Some things that did not need to be concealed would be told to Li Mumu.

Although most of them were military affairs, they could be inferred to be the affairs of Chong'an City.

Li Mumu knew that there was nothing urgent recently.

Min Huilan nodded, "I thought so, just now County Magistrate Lin said that he had important business to deal with. I was surprised that I didn't hear of any urgent matters recently."

"If it is really related to this case, then the person who is looking for County Magistrate Lin is most likely sent by the mastermind behind the scenes, or it is even possible that the mastermind behind the scenes came in person." Madam Shang whispered.

"I think it's more likely that the mastermind behind the scenes came in person." Li Zhiyin said, "Although I haven't been back for long, I have some understanding of County Magistrate Lin's style. If he wasn't of higher status than him, he wouldn't have paid so much attention to going there in person. And in Chong'an City, there are actually a few people with higher status than him."

Although County Magistrate Lin has been keeping a low profile since Li Huailin came back,

it's impossible for Li Huailin and Li Mumu not to inquire about everything in Chong'an City.

The two of them had already investigated County Magistrate Lin's daily style.

It's just that County Magistrate Lin has become cautious now, and Li Huailin is too lazy to investigate County Magistrate Lin's previous actions.

And to be honest, County Magistrate Lin's previous actions did not cross the line. They were just minor ones, and he still had a certain sense of proportion.

If the strict requirements are really followed according to the laws and regulations, I'm afraid that few people in the whole Daxi really meet the standards.

Li Huailin didn't go into it further.

"If this is the case, County Magistrate Lin thinks that Wangyou Xiaoxi has no backers and is just an ordinary merchant." Min Huilan said, "Won't Manager Li be in trouble?"

Li Zhiyin said to Cuiliu who had been following her, "You go back and call..."

This matter was a bit of an exaggeration to call Li Huailin in person, so she said, "Ask Butler Wang to come."
