Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

Chapter 30 Farewell

Seeing the solemn faces of these officials, Lin Xiaofeng felt an indescribable joy in his heart. They were no longer the ragtag group of people who bumped around like headless flies when he first arrived in Yangqu County. Under his careful training, they have gradually transformed into capable officers who can stand alone and protect the people. Even if he leaves Yangqu County in the future, they can continue to hold up the sky.

The fate of his trip to the capital was uncertain, but due to his responsibility, he had no hesitation...

Just as Lin Xiaofeng was immersed in his thoughts, a slightly trembling call broke the silence: "Sir, I have something important to report!"

Lin Xiaofeng looked up and saw Liang Junbao, the usually calm team leader, but now he had a solemn look on his face. He knew that if the situation had not been urgent, Liang Junbao would never have lost his composure like this.

"Why are you so panicked?" Lin Xiaofeng's voice contained a trace of unnoticeable nervousness.

Liang Junbao swallowed and said cautiously: "Sir, some new faces came to Yangqu County a few days ago. Their whereabouts are mysterious and arouse suspicion."

Lin Xiaofeng frowned and motioned for Liang Junbao to continue.

"We jointly investigated with the Criminal Investigation Department and found that these people were actually spies sent by the capital. They claimed to have come to Yangqu County to investigate matters." Liang Junbao's voice became lower and lower, as if he was waiting for Lin Xiaofeng's thunderous wrath. .

Sure enough, when Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet and straight into his heart. The spies sent by the capital were captured on their own territory. This was a great shame and humiliation!

He glared angrily and shouted: "Why didn't you report such a big matter to me in time?"

Liang Junbao trembled with fright and hesitated: "Sir, please calm down. We wanted to wait until the matter was found out before reporting to you. At first, we thought they were just talking nonsense. After all, how could the inner guards of the capital be easily taken down by us? So we suspected that they were Pretending to be mysterious.”

"What about the people now? Have you ever lynched them?" Lin Xiaofeng suppressed his anger and asked coldly.

"They are now being held in county jails. We have not tortured them, we have only restricted their freedom." Liang Junbao was sweating on his forehead, fearing that Lin Xiaofeng would convict him in anger.

"If that's the case, how did they confess?" Lin Xiaofeng asked. This negligence almost led to a catastrophic disaster, and he must investigate thoroughly!

Liang Junbao wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered: "It was Boss Xu from the printing and dyeing shop who came to help. We asked him to sing for the spies for five days. They couldn't stand Boss Xu's 'singing', so they confessed one after another Already..."

"Singing?" Lin Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, then laughed angrily, "This Boss Xu is quite a talent! He can actually make those spies surrender with his singing voice. I underestimated him." Most of the anger in his heart was gone. These so-called inner guards of the capital. Not much.

He looked at Liang Junbao with a smile but not a smile: "Boss Xu, aren't you tired from singing for five days in a row?" As soon as the question came out of his mouth, he realized how naive he was and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Sure enough, Lin Taohua on the side couldn't help but cover her ears and cursed in her heart: Sir, what's going on? How do you ask this question?

Liang Junbao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lin Xiaofeng was no longer so angry. He smiled and explained: "You don't know something. Although Boss Xu's songs are simple and easy to understand, they are very challenging to sing. But Boss Xu enjoys it and the people are also happy to listen to it. We also posted a notice at the gate of the county government office. As long as anyone is willing to sing this song, they will be rewarded. Now people are lining up to sing!"

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and shook his head. Boss Xu would find a way to get the spies to confess while also allowing the people to have fun. It really killed two birds with one stone.

"Then what do you plan to do with these spies?" Lin Xiaofeng asked seriously, his smile reduced.

Liang Junbao cautiously suggested: "My lord, I think we should send them out of the country with courtesy. After all, they are also acting according to orders. Although the way they act is a bit inappropriate, we can't embarrass them too much. Why don't we entertain them well and take them to bathe and change clothes?" Send them off after a week. How about giving each person an extra twenty taels of silver as payment?"

Lin Xiaofeng thought for a moment and nodded: "Just do as you say!" Although this sudden storm caught him a little unprepared, it was considered a near miss. I hope these spies can report truthfully when they return and stop causing trouble to Yangqu County.

"Yes!" Liang Junbao responded with relief, turned around, saluted and returned to the team.

After dealing with that troublesome matter, Lin Xiaofeng stood on the high platform of the courtroom. His eyes were like the autumn wind sweeping over the rice fields, looking around, not sparing every inch of the land. His brows furrowed slightly, as if he had encountered some difficult problem. He raised his hand and touched his forehead, which was his habitual action when thinking.

Then, he sighed helplessly, and that breath seemed to carry all his fatigue and helplessness. He said to the crowd in the hall: "Did you hear clearly what I just said?" His voice was not high, but every word hit everyone's hearts like a stone.

Everyone was silent for a moment, as if digesting his words, and then nodded to express their understanding. Their eyes were full of awe and dependence. Lin Xiaofeng was like a mountain in their hearts, solid and reliable.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at them with mixed feelings in his heart. He waved his hand and said feebly: "Forget it, forget it. You can handle the daily affairs as usual. When I am not here, you just follow the rules. This time I am going to Beijing to meet the saint, and Xie Hongxin will follow me. Let’s go together. Liu Youpeng, deputy director of the Department of Public Security, you can temporarily take his place!”

Upon hearing the order, Liu Youpeng popped out of the crowd like a cannonball and stood at the front. He cupped his fists and saluted Lin Xiaofeng, his eyes as firm as iron. He has always been a trustworthy person. Lin Xiaofeng looked at him and felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that Liu Youpeng was qualified for this position and could help him take care of this family.

Then, Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath, as if to suck in all the fatigue. He said: "As for my position, let Wang Yingchao, the Director of Criminal Investigation, take over for the time being. Remember, just focus on criminal cases and ignore other matters. If there is an emergency, send a horse to the capital to report to me immediately!" "

Wang Yingchao also stood up and signaled to Lin Xiaofeng. His eyes shone with determination and courage, like a sharp sword. He knew that this was Lin Xiaofeng's trust and expectation for him, and he could never live up to it.

After arranging all this, Lin Xiaofeng suddenly slapped the gavel, "Bang!" The sound was clear and loud, as if it broke all the silence and doubts. He said: "After I leave, I may return to Yangqu County at any time. You must each perform your duties and fulfill your duties. Don't let me catch you. I..." He paused, as if he couldn't bear to continue. . But he still waved his hand and said, "It's all gone!"

When everyone heard this, they began to disperse one after another. They are like birds that have been released, but with a trace of reluctance and nostalgia. Lin Xiaofeng could see that many of them still had doubts and lingering eyes. They seemed to have something to say and something to ask. But Lin Xiaofeng didn't give them a chance, he turned and walked towards the back hall.

His heart was full of emotion and helplessness. He knew that this departure might take a long time, and there might be many changes. But he couldn't back down or hesitate. He must go to the capital to face greater challenges and opportunities.

After everyone left, only Lin Xiaofeng and Lin Taohua were left in the courtroom. Lin Xiaofeng looked at Lin Taohua, a soft light flashed in his eyes. He said: "Taohua, you go and get the 120,000 taels of silver notes and follow me to the capital to buy a house. It also costs a lot of money to clear the joints."

When Lin Taohua heard this, a trace of surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes. She knew that Lin Xiaofeng had always been frugal and rarely spent money. This time I suddenly need so much money, buy a house, and have my joints unblocked. Something big is definitely going to happen. But she didn't ask or say much, she just nodded to express her understanding.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at her and felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that Lin Taohua was his relative, his friend, and his partner. In this world, the person he trusts most is her.

He waved his sleeves lightly and said, "You should go and get ready." Then, he turned and walked to the back hall, leaving Lin Taohua standing alone in the courtroom.

Lin Taohua looked at his leaving figure with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that this departure might take a long time, and there might be many changes. But she believed that Lin Xiaofeng would be able to return safely and bring them a better future.

...

Everything was finally ready. Lin Xiaofeng, the county magistrate of Yangqu, was going to lead a group of people on the road leading to the capital.

He originally only wanted to bring Lin Taohua and Xie Hongxin, who were closest to him, but that girl Yin Jiajin insisted on squeezing in.

Her little mouth was almost worn out just because she could follow them to the capital to see the world.

Lin Xiaofeng really couldn't bear it, so he had no choice but to agree.

Before dawn, the people of Yangqu were already waiting at the city gate. They all know that today is the day the magistrate is leaving. The officials in the county office, who were usually tough men, had red eyes at the moment and couldn't bear to part with this good county magistrate.

The sky is gray and the cold wind is like needles piercing people's bones. But everyone said nothing, just silently holding up the lanterns in their hands, waiting for the carriage to appear.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "The carriage is coming!"

Everyone looked at the city gate and saw a carriage slowly approaching.

The driver felt everyone's expectations and reluctance, and deliberately slowed down. In the carriage, Lin Xiaofeng was holding a novel and reading it with gusto. The bumps in the wheels forced him to raise his head.

"What's wrong?" he asked with a frown, still staring at the book.

Lin Taohua opened the curtain and took a look, shouting in surprise: "Sir, look outside!"

Lin Xiaofeng put down the book and turned his head to look out the window. I saw the common people bursting into tears one by one, crying together. He sighed, feeling mixed emotions.

He stood up, got out of the carriage and stood in the car.

When the people saw him coming out, they rushed forward one after another.

Some bowed and some waved goodbye.

Yin Jiajin looked at the touching scene in front of her and was shocked: This county magistrate is really loved by the people. No wonder the emperor looked up to him.

At this moment, Wang Laoer hesitated for a moment, then walked forward and saluted Lin Xiaofeng, then handed him a jar of wine and said, "Sir, this is the wine that I warmed up early when I got up early. It's still warm for you." You can drink on the road…”

Lin Xiaofeng nodded and took the wine jar.

His move seemed to open some kind of floodgate, and the people took out the prepared gifts and dry food from their arms and stuffed them into the carriage. Soon the carriage was filled with all kinds of things.

"Sir, these are apples I grew myself. You can take them on the road and eat them."

"Sir, this is a pastry made by my wife. Please try it."

……

Although Lin Xiaofeng had repeatedly told the people that there was no need to send more, they still came like a tide.

The objects in their hands, whether they are eggs, vegetable leaves, or various other sundries, are like mirrors, reflecting their inner anxiety and uneasiness.

For a moment, splashing egg liquid and vegetable leaves flew through the air, and the scene was chaotic.

A serious look appeared on Lin Xiaofeng's face.

He looked behind him deeply and saw more and more people gathering in the night. The atmosphere was as loud as a volcano about to erupt.

He sighed deeply, with a helpless determination in his tone: "I'm afraid the carriage can't move any further. Let's get out of the car and walk for a while!"

So, he got off the carriage and walked steadily towards the city gate.

In the county town at night, the lights are dotted, like dreamlike stars descending from the mortal world.

He walked on the middle road, flanked by a tidal wave of people. Although the road is not long, every step seems to span a century.

He wanted to see everyone's face and remember their names and stories.

Among them were merchants, officials, civilians, and all kinds of people.

He knew that leaving this time might mean that he would never be able to return to this place he loved so much.

The faint sadness in my heart is like the mist at night, slowly spreading.

This county has become his home, and everyone here is his relative.

But now, he will embark on a new journey to a strange place.

Every step of departure is like letting go of an emotion that is difficult to let go.

When he reached the city gate, he found that many people had gathered in the open space.

They stood there in silence, watching him leave the city. There was no verbal communication, only the sound of low and firm breathing echoed in the air.

This silent blessing and concern made Lin Xiaofeng's heart warm.

He understands that the trust and support of these people are his greatest motivation to move forward.

"Sir, be careful all the way!" The common people's voices were low and firm. Their words were full of care and concern, hoping that he would have a safe and smooth journey. Every word is like a refined poem, full of deep blessings and expectations.

"My lord, come back soon!" The voice asked, suppressing emotion. Every word is as crystal clear as pearls, revealing sincere emotions and deep blessings.
