Chapter 84 How can it not be considered tacit understanding?
With a crisp "slap" sound, before Lin Jiusi could finish his words, Lin Zhiqing slapped him mercilessly.

"Do you really think I'm the one who caused the trouble outside? I'm telling you, no matter what, your Qianjin Pavilion won't be able to continue operating today."

"If you want to stay alive, think quickly. Have any outsiders come to your Qianjin Pavilion in the past three months?"

Lin Jiusi was unconvinced: "Why should I tell you..."

"Pa!" Another big slap.

"Why should I..."

"Snapped!"

"I……"

"Snapped!"

After three consecutive slaps, clear slap marks appeared on Lin Jiusi's fair face.

Lin Zhiqing didn't stop at all. She had gained a lot of weight these days and her hands were very strong.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" Lin Jiusi finally found the opportunity to speak. He wanted to cry but had no tears. His face was swollen like a pig's head.

"A few days ago, several girls here turned good. The traffickers I usually work with didn't have that much stock, so I changed my group."

"Apart from these people, no new faces have ever entered Qianjin Pavilion."

Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes and said, "A filial son is born under the stick. The ancients were right."

The reason why she fixed her attention on the human traffickers who bought and sold girls was because the tight-fitting man who had caused trouble earlier had mentioned it.

If the guest is not closely related to us, then he or she naturally has nothing to do with Qianjin Pavilion.

If it was a girl from the pavilion, the group could just pretend to be guests and there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

Excluding these common options, the only one Lin Zhiqing could think of was a human trafficker who had close ties with Qianjin Pavilion.

"Where are they?" Lin Zhiqing asked the key question, but Lin Jiusi knew the answer without her saying it. They must be in Qianjin Pavilion.

Otherwise, Jiang Liuyun wouldn't have made this trip.

As expected, Lin Jiusi opened his mouth and said, "It's in the room on the third floor. The price they offered was fair, so I decided to let them stay."

"Idiot, do you want money or your life?" Lin Zhiqing's hands were itching again, but now was not the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

"I'm telling you, if anyone asks you about that gang of traffickers, just say you don't know anything. Just say they're pestering you and insist on moving in, or they'll cut off your supply."

"Did you hear that clearly?"

Lin Zhiqing spoke clearly and asked Lin Jiusi to repeat it again before nodding:

"I can give you the antidote to the cartilage powder, but you must go out and find the people causing trouble down there and tell them that you suspect the human traffickers in Qianjin Pavilion are not good people."

Although Lin Jiusi was stupid, he had realized by now that Lin Zhiqing was so anxious and what he said was most likely true.

All the people from the imperial court have arrived. If he doesn't do as Lin Zhiqing says, he will definitely die.

After experiencing the incident where his third uncle was beheaded for treason, Lin Jiusi was most afraid of the imperial court.

He couldn't nod and could only desperately say that he understood.

Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes and saw that Lin Jiusi's pupils were constricted and his facial expression was stiff. He judged that he was really scared, so he took out the antidote.

Soon, Lin Zhiqing gave a detailed explanation and then quietly poked his head out of this special room.

The corridor was silent, it seemed that Jiang Liuyun had not taken any action yet.

She breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the room where the secret passage was hidden, and retraced her steps.

The situation downstairs was still chaotic; the tables and chairs had been smashed to pieces. Lin Zhiqing blended into the crowd of onlookers, and after a quick look, he spotted Lin Shian and Lin Yangyang at the door, both looking worried.

She calmly moved to the door of Qianjin Pavilion and met the two of them.

"Sister Qing, are you okay? Why did things suddenly become so messy?" Lin Yangyang pulled Lin Zhiqing over and checked her up and down.

Lin Zhiqing waved his hand, indicating that he was fine: "Cousin, things are a bit complicated. You should take the things back to your uncle first, and then tell him that the court has discovered that there are remnants of bandits in Qianjin Pavilion.

"Remember, apart from you and your uncle, no one else can know about this."

As she spoke, she took out the Qianjin Pavilion deed with Second Grandpa's name on it and handed it to Lin Yangyang.

She didn't take out the account book rashly. If there was a problem with Lin Yangyang, she could take it out later.

Lin Yangyang's eyes widened, obviously not expecting that this matter would involve the court, but she did not ask any more questions. She repeated her words and turned away.

Lin Shian finally had a chance to speak: "It's really chaotic here. I've had those stewards taken back to my yard."

Lin Zhiqing nodded. His cousin's arrangement was correct. Controlling so many people here would inevitably attract attention.

"Is what you just said true?" Lin Shian asked again.

Lin Zhiqing nodded and said in a low voice: "I just met Jiang Liuyun..."

"What?" Before she could finish, Lin Shian's face turned pale. "He usually looks serious, why would he come to a place like this?"

"He came to a place like this so brazenly before you even got married. He really doesn't take our Lin family seriously."

Lin Zhiqing: ...

No, why are these two people so determined that the other is here to drink and have fun?

She hasn't even finished her words yet, how come these two people don't have a tacit understanding?
"Cousin, don't get excited. He's not here to drink and have fun." Lin Zhiqing pointed at the people who were fighting.
"What I just said to my cousin about the bandits was told to me by him. These people are also his people."

When Lin Shian heard this, he recalled what happened today and put everything together.

"What about Lin Jiusi?" He instantly thought of the most critical question.

Just as Lin Zhiqing was about to reply, he heard a loud shout: "Stop!"

Lin Shian looked in the direction of the voice, and the most eye-catching thing was Lin Jiusi's swollen face.

As his figure appeared, the people from Qianjin Pavilion stopped immediately.

Before the madam could ask any questions, Lin Shi'an started yelling, "Hurry up and report to the authorities! The traffickers working with Qianjin Pavilion are not good people. They want to kill me and take over Qianjin Pavilion."

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of tight-fitting men who were deliberately causing trouble looked at each other in confusion. What did these words mean?
The madam was also confused: "Boss, what are you doing..."

"You heard it right. Why are you still standing there? Can't you see my face?" Lin Jiusi was angry.

The madam was also anxious after being yelled at. She quickly waved to the servant with bruises on his face, "Didn't you hear what the boss said? Go, go quickly!"

"No need to go." A steady voice came out, and the chaotic scene suddenly became quiet.

Jiang Liuyun appeared in the middle of the third floor with his hands behind his back: "I've already taken care of the people. Lin Jiusi, are you the owner of Qianjin Pavilion?"

Lin Shian's heart tightened and he looked at Lin Zhiqing.

Lin Zhiqing looked calm and kept staring at Lin Jiusi.

Lin Jiusi was also stunned for a moment: "Prince Jiang, why are you here?"
