The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general

Following the guidance of the servants, they arrived at the courtyard of Butler Zhong. With the help of Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue, Lin Qiuer climbed over the courtyard wall by stepping on their shoulders.

After the two brothers climbed over the courtyard wall, the three of them sneaked to the outside of a lighted room.

The entire process was seen by the Gu family guards lurking in the big tree outside the courtyard wall.

Lin Qiu'er and her two siblings had just squatted outside the room when they heard the loyal butler in the room questioning the young lady why she wanted to harm the master. The young lady said she did not do it and kept crying.

This meaningless conversation lasted for a long time, until Lin Qiuer unconsciously reached out and tapped her numb ankle.

Suddenly, Lin Qiu'er heard a scream from Butler Zhong, and she thought to herself that something was wrong. When the three of them rushed in, they found him lying in a pool of blood, killed by a single blow. He was only breathing out, not in.

Seeing this, Lin Nanyue immediately rushed forward to catch the young lady, but she was so agile that she dodged a few times and then flew out of the house. Lin Nanyue was not willing to let her go and immediately chased after her.

The servant who was guarding outside the courtyard heard the fighting in the house, ran in and saw Lin Qiu'er squatting beside Butler Zhong, who was lying on the ground covered in blood.

"Ah! Murder! Murder!" Several terrified shouts echoed in the silent night.

The sound instantly attracted the servants nearby, but no one dared to come in. Someone quickly ran to Gu Anqing's courtyard to report.

Not long after, Gu Anqing, who had been monitoring the situation in Butler Zhong's courtyard, hurried over with Gu Cheng and Chang Qing.

As soon as they were outside the courtyard, they were surrounded by servants, who said that it was Lin Qiuer and her sister who killed Butler Zhong. The brother and sister immediately became the target of public criticism.

Lin Qiu'er and Lin Nanye anxiously explained that they did not kill anyone, but just happened to pass by Butler Zhong's yard and heard the young lady and Butler Zhong arguing, so they came in out of kindness to stop them.

Who knew that the young lady was so skilled that she slipped away right under their noses, and Lin Nanyue chased after her.

The guard who had been staring at Butler Zhong's courtyard also flew into the courtyard from the big tree outside the courtyard.

They confirmed that Lin Qiu'er and her two siblings were just eavesdropping outside the house, and they went into the house only after hearing the screams of Butler Zhong. The young lady had indeed escaped from the house just now, and Lin Nanyue chased after her and left. They have already sent people to chase her.

Gu Anqing waved his hand to stop the servants' random speculation. He believed that Lin Qiuer and her siblings were not the murderers.

Lin Qiuer felt that if she didn't show off her family's strength, these servants might continue to talk nonsense in the future. The best way to dispel the rumors was to make them feel that the things were ridiculous.

So he let Lin Nanye use his power freely, and then everyone present saw that Lin Nanye smashed a stone table with a light palm.

The thin boy in front of me actually has such skills.

Everyone shut up immediately.

Lin Qiu'er looked around at the people in the audience and said in a neutral tone: "Is your young master a fool? Don't we have the ability to make him treat us politely?" She looked disdainful and disgusted.

"Master, someone ran into the county magistrate's office." A guard ran in hurriedly to report.

After Lin Qiuer and his sister, Gu Anqing and others heard the report, they immediately set out to the outside of the county government office.

Just as he stood still, he heard a commotion inside and someone shouted, "Hurry up, someone is trying to assassinate the county magistrate!"

Hearing this, Chang Qing took Gu Anqing and flew into the government office. The other guards also flew in afterwards. Only Lin Qiuer and Lin Nanye stood outside the county office, looking at each other in bewilderment.

After Gu Anqing and the others stood still, they realized that Lin Qiu'er and his sister had not come in. Gu Anqing cleared his throat and ordered, "Two of you go out and bring Miss Qiu'er and Brother Lin in."

After Chang Qing and the guards brought Lin Qiuer and his sister in again, as soon as they stood still, Lin Qiuer complained, "You all can fly, but have you ever thought about how those of us who can't fly can get in? Master Gu, to make up for your mistake just now, go back and have someone teach my brother this flying skill. This is simply a great martial art for robbing houses."

"Miss Qiu'er, don't talk nonsense. We are here to rescue people from danger, not to rob." Gu Anqing corrected seriously.

He is the young master of the Gu family. Being misunderstood as a robber would be detrimental to his dignity on the battlefield in the future.

Lin Qiu'er said the wrong thing in a hurry, and quickly corrected herself: "Yes, yes, what Master Gu said makes sense. We are good people who help the poor and needy, and we have nothing to do with the robbers who rob people. Let's go, go and save people."

Several people followed the screams all the way to the study room in the backyard of the county government office. Many servants were running in and out, and there was chaos. After they went in against the flow of people, they looked up and found that the county magistrate had been stabbed in the chest and fell to the ground.

Lin Qiu'er ran in, put her hand on the wound on the county magistrate's chest, and asked in a low voice: "Who hurt you?"

Gu Anqing and others followed closely behind.

"Assassin, an urgent letter from eight hundred miles away." The county magistrate said this with difficulty and closed his eyes.

"What?" Lin Qiu'er didn't expect that the letter was sent from the county magistrate, and she couldn't help but screamed.

"Master, master, how are you?" A middle-aged lady with a worried face hurried in, supported by her maid, her eyes full of concern and panic.

Lin Qiuer stood up slightly and gave her seat to the middle-aged lady and the maid.

"It seems that everything that happened in the county is related." Lin Qiuer said with a serious look on her face.

Gu Anqing frowned. He heard some clues from the county magistrate's words just now, but still couldn't understand. What kind of thing could have happened in a small county town like Lingao that was worth the county magistrate using an express route of 800 miles to deliver the information to the imperial city?

"Who are you? Why are you in the master's study?" The county magistrate's wife was crying, and when she found Lin Qiuer and others, her tone immediately became sharp.

"We came in to track down the murderer of the housekeeper." Changqing explained.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the study suddenly became tense.

The county magistrate's wife thought that these people had killed her husband, and she immediately shouted, "Come quickly, arrest all those who killed my husband!"

When the county yamen runners and servants waiting outside the study heard the order from the county magistrate's wife, they immediately rushed in, surrounded the people with guns and sticks in their hands, and planned to arrest everyone present for punishment.

"Madam, you misunderstood us." Lin Qiu'er stepped forward and said firmly, "In fact, we are victims just like you. My eldest brother is now missing because of the county magistrate. Can we have a word with you?"

"How do I know what you said is true? I've seen many thieves making excuses for themselves." The county magistrate's wife had a preconceived suspicion of what Lin Qiu'er and the others said. "My poor husband, he works diligently every day and has to deal with things in the back office at night. If you leave, what will happen to our family of more than a dozen people?"

"As the county magistrate's wife, you should know if there is anything unusual today." Lin Qiu'er said, and pointed at Gu Anqing beside her, "This is the son of General Gu's family. Madam, if you don't believe me, you should believe the son of the Gu family, right?"

The county magistrate's wife looked Gu Anqing up and down with a puzzled look.

At this time, the maid beside her whispered a few words in her ear, and her expression gradually eased. After sobbing a few times, she said, "It turned out to be the son of General Gu's family. I am so rude. You all can go down."

As soon as the words fell, the yamen runners and servants surrounding the few people left the study one after another.

Seeing that the county magistrate's wife's mood had gradually stabilized, Lin Qiu'er asked again, "Madam, is it safe to talk here?"

The county magistrate's wife gathered her thoughts and made sure that there was no one else around before she whispered, "It should be safe. My confidants are guarding outside, and no one will approach here. However, I still suggest that you speak quickly if you have something to say, and leave here as soon as possible after speaking."
