The bailiff’s polite invitation surprised everyone present.
What was going on?
According to steward Yan’s words, the disappearance of their young master had a lot to do with Lin yuelan. If they had reported it to the authorities, then these people should have come to arrest her. Why were they so respectful and polite now?
It was really strange.
Steward Yan was so angry that his face turned ugly, but no one cared about him.
When Jiang Zhennan heard that the county Magistrate was looking for Lin yuelan, he immediately stood in front of Lin yuelan and asked sternly in a strong and imposing manner, “Why is your County Magistrate looking for miss Yue ‘Er? ”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough their attitude and tone towards Lin yuelan could be considered respectful, there must be a trick behind this.
In particular, the magistrate might have heard that Lin yuelan was a capable person who could produce eight stones of grains per mu.
Although he was a general, he was well aware of the deception and cunningness of the Imperial court. When there were benefits, some people would directly tempt or even threaten, and some would use underhanded means to directly seize things by force and so on.
Now, Lin yuelan was a great treasure in front of this County Magistrate. She could either become a huge treasure bowl for him to accumulate wealth or an important means for him to be promoted.
Therefore, the magistrate must have wanted to get something from her. Perhaps it was just for show. Once Lin yuelan entered the court, he would secretly imprison her and try to get the farming method from her. Then, he would either sell it or report it.
The two bailiffs looked at Jiang Zhennan’s sharp and terrifying aura and were shocked. This person’s aura was extraordinary. One look and they could tell that he was not a simple person.
Before they had come, their eldest young master had repeatedly instructed them to be polite and respectful to Lin yuelan and her guests, especially to a man with an imposing aura and an extraordinary bearing.
It seemed that the young master was talking about this person.
When the two bailiffs thought of this, their eyes met. Then, the taller bailiff immediately bowed to Jiang Zhennan and said very politely, ” Brother, please rest assured. My Lord, County Magistrate Zhou, has heard that miss Lin is a capable farmer and would like to invite miss Lin to the manor for a chat!”
This person’s words directly stated the reason for inviting her, which was to make clear County Magistrate Zhou’s attitude and that he would never harm Lin yuelan.
This time, without waiting for Jiang Zhennan to speak, Lin yuelan said directly, “Alright, brothers, I’ll go with you to see County Magistrate Zhou!”
In her heart, she was secretly speculating that county Magistrate Zhou’s polite and open attitude was most likely due to Zhou Wencai’s efforts. After analyzing the pros and cons, she made such a move.
After all, Zhou Wencai had met Jiang Zhennan in the Lin family Village and had guessed his identity.
Otherwise, County Magistrate Zhou, as a member of the capital’s Zhou family, would definitely eat Lin Yuelan up.

The two bailiffs looked at each other and were immediately put in a difficult position. “This …” After all, their master had only ordered them to invite Lin yuelan over. Now that they had brought one more person back, they didn’t know if their master would be angry.
However, when he thought of the eldest young master’s attitude earlier, he seemed to know this person’s identity and was very respectful.
Then, the two of them nodded. “Alright then!”
Just as the four of them were about to leave,
“Wait a minute.” seeing that the situation in front of him wasn’t quite right, steward Yan immediately panicked. Thus, he couldn’t help but stop them. “officers, our young master has clearly gone missing, and the culprit is this person. Why aren’t you arresting her? Instead, why are you so polite to the criminal? ”
In his heart, he was grumbling to himself. This was clearly different from their original plan.
His original idea was for his old master to find the county Magistrate and use Lin yuelan’s farming method as bait. Then, they would hide Yan Xiaoyong and charge Lin yuelan with kidnapping. At that time, the county Magistrate would arrest Lin yuelan for kidnapping. This way, no one would know that the actual purpose of County Magistrate Zhou’s arrest was for the farming method in her hands. The Yan family had negotiated with the county Magistrate that after the county Magistrate obtained the farming method, he would give it to the Yan family.
