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

Chapter 32 Going to court

Yang Zhongyi calmed down and said, "Sir, are you standing up for that cheap servant? She is a slave girl of low origin."

Lin Xiaofeng scolded: "Where do you come from? We are just talking about business!"

Yang Zhongyi also became excited: "Although Huanghu House is run by me, it actually belongs to Li Haihua, the Minister of Household Affairs. It doesn't matter whether this house is sold or not. If this little thing affects the business of the restaurant, then Sir, you But it’s really not worth it.”

Yang Zhongyi is a businessman and does not want to make things difficult. But the other party held an imperial edict as a threat, so he could only move out of the backstage to deal with it.

Although in fact Huanghu Tower is just a small business, it is impossible to put it in Li Haihua's eyes.

But this bastard is just a fourth-rank official and a low-ranking baron, so how can he possibly fight against a second-rank official!

Hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng raised the corners of his mouth, and with a cunning light in his eyes, he slowly walked to Yang Zhongyi and patted his shoulder gently.

"Lao Yang, this little money is not easy for you? Why is it like this?" Lin Xiaofeng laughed softly.

Yang Zhongyi felt a handover between heaven and man in his heart, but he could only reply: "Okay! Since Mr. Lin likes it so much, let's make the deal for one thousand taels!"

Lin Xiaofeng whispered in his ear: "However, I am a dragon among men. How can I allow others to bark in front of me? Even if I am the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, how dare I be sinned against by a dog? Seven hundred taels!"

Ever since Lin Xiaofeng became the county magistrate, although he was the county magistrate in name, he had actually been a thief for two years and had robbed countless merchants.

In this troubled world, if you are not ruthless, you will not be stable.

What kind of minister of household affairs? So what if I offend?

Now he is in the court.

With Yangqu County's technology, he already has full confidence.

Even if he is the minister, how can he suppress him!

Yang Zhongyi's heart was in turmoil and he could not calm down.

The man in front of me is arrogant and fearless.

Where is the business here?

They were clearly here to rob!

"Okay! Seven hundred taels is seven hundred taels!" Yang Zhongyi gritted his teeth and made up his mind to sell it and report the matter to the young master later.

Lin Xiaofeng turned his eyes to the ancient well in the courtyard and sighed: "I am so angry with you that I have hurt myself. Besides, there have been deaths in this courtyard, maybe six hundred taels!"

"Okay!" Yang Zhongyi lowered his head and bit his lower lip with his teeth, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.

He had already thought that doing business with Lin Xiaofeng would not be easy.

This county magistrate is not only cunning and ruthless, but also arrogant and fearless.

However, he had to admit that although Lin Xiaofeng's methods were vicious, they were still necessary for him to survive in troubled times.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded with satisfaction, a sly smile appeared on his face again, "Okay! Brother Yang is decisive, thank Hongxin, give him the money!"

When Xie Hongxin heard this, he already understood what Lin Xiaofeng meant.

He calmly took out a silver ingot from his arms, gently twisted it out, put his hands together, and applied a little force, and the silver ingot deformed like dough and became a round cake.

Lin Xiaofeng took the silver cake and said to Yang Zhongyi with a smile: "Look at this silver cake. There are many silver coins on the market, but this cake-shaped silver coin is very rare. Not to mention that there are my guards on it. The artistic value of the carefully suppressed palm prints is self-evident. With this silver cake, let’s give it five hundred taels, what do you think, Old Yang?”

When Yang Zhongyi heard this, his eyes gradually turned red, and he took the silver cake from Lin Xiaofeng with trembling hands.

He said word for word: "Five hundred is five hundred, Mr. Lin, please do as you like!"

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng threw her head up and laughed: "Happy! Get the land deed!"

After saying that, he leisurely returned to his seat.

Yin Jiajin was shocked and confused when she saw this scene. She looked at this ridiculous transaction, and chaotic thoughts were stirring in her heart.

After Yang Zhongyi got the land deed, he was relieved. After hurriedly trading the land deed, he held the silver cake tightly and rushed out of the house, without even having time to pack away the valuables in the house.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Yang Zhongyi's retreating back and exclaimed: "You are so strong, you can walk so fast even with five hundred taels of silver."

Then Lin Xiaofeng ordered: "Okay! This house is my new residence. I'm going to look around and look around. You can also go and collect some valuable things in the house to exchange for some money to live."

After saying that, Lin Xiaofeng left leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Looking at Lin Xiaofeng's back, Yin Jiajin swallowed her saliva and asked Xie Hongxin in a low voice: "Is your Excellency short of money?"

Xie Hongxin smirked and said: "There is no shortage, but without banks, people will starve to death. Yangqu County has been poor for a long time."

Yin Jiajin thought about it again and asked, "Was it like this before?"

"No. It wouldn't have been like this before."

Xie Hongxin smacked his lips, thought for a moment and replied: "If it had been before, that old man would have had his neck bitten off by a dog!"

After saying that, he made a gesture of cutting his neck.

"・・・"

･････････････

It was still dark, so Yin Jiajin carefully opened Lin Xiaofeng's door.

At this time, Lin Xiaofeng was immersed in sleep.

Yin Jiajin leaned down and looked closely at the sleeping man.

Since Yin Jiajin was born, she has experienced countless ups and downs, but she has never met such a special person.

Lin Xiaofeng's mouth was slightly open, saliva hanging on his lips, half-smiling, as if he had experienced something pleasant in his dream.

His facial features were clear and engraved, and he had the appearance of a handsome young man, but his behavior was unexpectedly rough, as if he was a man from the world.

And around him, there were also some unique people gathered.

Just when Yin Jiajin wanted to get closer to observe, Lin Xiaofeng turned over in his dream.

He circled with one hand and punched Yin Jiajin squarely on her pretty face.

Yin Jiajin lost her balance and fell to the ground, covering her right face with tears in her eyes.

For a moment, her eyes were full of resentment and helplessness, and she said hatefully: "Why... why do you always hurt me..."

Yin Jiajin endured the pain, pushed Lin Xiaofeng a few times, and shouted loudly: "Sir! It's time to get up! It's time for morning court!"

After waiting for a moment, Lin Xiaofeng didn't respond.

In desperation, she shouted twice more: "Get up! Sir!"

But still no response.

Lin Xiaofeng was immersed in a sweet dream, as if he was isolated from the outside world.

Yin Jiajin bit her lip, knowing she had to find a way to wake him up.

Suddenly, a cunning light flashed in her eyes, and she covered his mouth with one hand and his nostrils with the other.

Lin Xiaofeng felt a little short of breath and sat up suddenly, glaring at Yin Jiajin: "What are you doing?"

When Yin Jiajin saw his embarrassed look, she was secretly amused, but she still replied with a low eyebrow: "Sir, the time for the morning court has come. Now you need to get up and wait at the Meridian Gate after breakfast. If it is later, it will be too late."

Lin Xiaofeng was shocked when he heard that the time for the morning meeting had arrived.

He quickly sat up and realized that he had overslept. He frowned, looking a little irritated.

Yes, he would go to court at five o'clock, which meant that he only slept for seven hours. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "Where is Lin Taohua?"

Yin Jiajin replied: "Lin Taohua has not returned from patrolling in the city and is still sleeping soundly...so I sent my concubine here..."

Lin Xiaofeng thought for a moment: Lin Taohua had indeed been looking for Zheng Shimin in the city all day long and had not returned.

Although Zheng Shimin was not found, she was also exhausted and it would be nice to sleep a little longer.

Getting up from the bed, Lin Xiaofeng raised his hand and waved: "I understand, change clothes!"

"Huh?" Yin Jiajin raised her confused eyes. For a woman like her, it was really strange to change clothes for a man. She had never done it before.

Growing up, she had never changed clothes for a man. This sudden request made her a little overwhelmed.

"What are you waiting for! Come and change my clothes!" Lin Xiaofeng closed his eyes and stood impatiently.

Yin Jiajin hesitated and said: "I...I don't know how to..."

This maid is so useless!

Lin Xiaofeng opened his eyes, put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "I won't change either!"

After so many years, he always asked the maid to help him change clothes. After all, these ancient clothes were very trivial to wear.

Lin Taohua is not here, he doesn't know how to wear it at all...

Now that I have this half-wasted maid, how can I live like this!

Yin Jiajin muttered to herself and said helplessly: "I'll call Lin Taohua..."

"No! Let her sleep well. You must change my clothes. This is what you must learn. If you can't even change my clothes, what qualifications do you have to serve others!"

Yin Jiajin pouted and thought to herself: Aren't you the same!

A majestic man who can’t even take care of his own clothes!

In the end, Yin Jiajin hurriedly packed Lin Xiaofeng's clothes.

After the lacing was completed, Yin Jiajin wiped the sweat from her forehead, breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt a small sense of victory in her heart.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at himself in the mirror and curled his lips: "It's not bad."

Not bad at all! Yin Jiajin's face was expressionless, and she was already cursing in her heart.

"Hey, why is your face swollen?" Lin Xiaofeng asked suddenly.

"stiff neck."

"Hey, it's really amazing!"

···································

Under the shining of the morning light, Lin Xiaofeng finally finished his breakfast after struggling for a long time.

He casually glanced at the sky outside the window, saw the golden and dark blue intertwined edges, and knew in his heart that it was getting late.

He hurriedly boarded a carriage, turned around and said to Yin Jiajin: "You don't have to come to pick me up. I'll come back by myself next morning. I should have bought all the things I need to buy at home today. If there's anything you don't understand, please tell me. Lin Taohua learn from it."

Yin Jiajin looked at him with a hint of worry in her eyes.

After Lin Xiaofeng finished speaking, his figure quickly disappeared from the carriage door.

Yin Jiajin stood at the door, her eyes a little distracted, and she felt an inexplicable fluctuation in her heart.

The carriage started slowly, and the light in the carriage gradually dimmed.

Lin Xiaofeng found a corner and curled up, silently calculating the time in her heart.

Those guys probably won’t rush to court at the earliest possible time...

A bunch of old men, their bodies can't stand the torment. Thinking about it, he slowly fell into sleep again.

It was quiet inside the carriage, with only the sound of rolling wheels echoing in the air.

The sun shone through the gap in the car window and fell on Lin Xiaofeng's face, reflecting a golden halo.

His breathing gradually became even, as if he was isolated from the noise of the world.

Along the way, the carriage swayed forward.

Lin Xiaofeng's body swayed with the bumps of the carriage, and his eyelids gradually became heavy.

In this quiet space, his consciousness gradually blurred until he was completely immersed in sleep.

In the dream, Lin Xiaofeng seemed to have returned to his childhood.

At that time, he was still an innocent child, following behind his father all day long, running and playing happily in the fields.

His father's laughter and warm embrace are his best memories.

But time passed so quickly, and in a blink of an eye, my father was no longer here, and I came to Jingjiang Country...

･････････････････････････

Before dawn, the bells were already floating in the air, echoing in the silent night.

Emperor Jingjiang felt that the sound of the bell was like the spring breeze blowing on his cheeks, which gave him an indescribable feeling of comfort.

He got up earlier than usual, carefully styled his bun, and wore a bright yellow dragon robe, looking particularly energetic.

Yesterday, Wang Jingwen told him that Lin Taohua was in the capital to inquire about him.

This news caused ripples in Emperor Jingjiang's heart, as if a pool of spring water that had been silent for a long time was blown by the spring breeze and stirred up waves.

In the main hall, the ministers had already gathered together, waiting for Emperor Jingjiang to go to court.

He glanced across the hall, but did not see that familiar figure. His brows wrinkled slightly, with a trace of doubt and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Where is Lin Xiaofeng?" Emperor Jingjiang's voice echoed in the hall, with a hint of displeasure, "It has been three days since he accepted the decree, why hasn't he shown up yet?"

Bai Yongyuan looked around and didn't find any strange faces.

He felt a little uneasy, but he still tried to persuade him: "Your Majesty, maybe he has been delayed due to the long journey."

Emperor Jingjiang's face became even more gloomy: "It's only two days' journey from Yangqu County to here. Is he slower than a turtle?"

Before he finished speaking, a person hurriedly broke into the hall.

The man held up his pants, lowered his head, and hurried towards the center of the hall.

The material slipped and stepped on the leg of his trousers, and he instantly fell to his knees.

The hall was so quiet at this moment that everyone's eyes were focused on the sudden intruder.

Lin Xiaofeng lowered his head, and beads of sweat fell down his forehead like a trickling stream.

Deep in his heart, he complained about the coachman like waves. Why did the coachman only send him to the Meridian Gate and then leave irresponsibly?

He woke up in a daze, and there were only a few people at the Meridian Gate. The guards in front of the door were like stone sculptures, standing in front of him expressionlessly.

He reluctantly took out the imperial edict and finally walked in.

The clothes Yin Jiajin wore were now loose and in danger.

He could only hold his hem tightly with one hand and run around the palace.

After many twists and turns, he finally found the direction of the main hall.

Lin Xiaofeng lowered his head, his eyes wandering, looking around.

The ministers on both sides were dressed in court uniforms and watched him silently.

An ominous premonition arose in his heart...
