Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish
Chapter 499: Visit
Next was Pinqu Pavilion, where the princess's grandmother, eldest uncle, second uncle, and cousins came up to ask for money, claiming to be her blood relatives.
However, because the Lin family's old house had previously reported the princess to the government, the news had spread to everyone. Even if some people did not recognize their faces, as long as their names were mentioned, everyone would know about the disgusting incident of slandering their own granddaughter (niece).
Immediately, everyone dragged the man out of the store.
Although I felt relieved at the time, thinking about it afterwards, I couldn't help but worry that the princess was soft-hearted and blamed them because of family affection.
But now it seems that the princess had a smile on her face and was listening with great interest and enjoying it, and she did not intend to blame them at all.
They also kept praising them for doing a good job, doing a wonderful job, and doing a great job. At the same time, they also reminded them that if these people dare to come to them again next time, don't just throw them out, that would be too easy for them. They should find a small alley where no one passes by, put a sack on them secretly and beat them up hard, so that their faces are covered with red flowers. It would be best to keep them out of bed for a few days, so that they don't jump out every day to disgust people.
Everyone silently gave a thumbs up: ...When it comes to cruelty, our princess is indeed the best.
Apart from these, the rest is... my hands cramp from collecting money every day and my fingers are a bit tired.
In addition, the glasses and mirrors in the warehouse were almost all sold out. They had been on the road for seven days, so they had to ask the carpentry and ironwork teams to work overtime to replenish the stock as soon as possible.
As for the rest, there aren't any big problems.
Lin Xiaoyue: Look at you guys, you Versailles guys...she likes it so much!
So, he immediately made a decision and called Er Gou to go around the surrounding villages and farmers tomorrow to order hundreds of sheep. The whole village would eat roasted whole sheep for a month to celebrate. Of course, this was also meant to compensate and comfort the guards who were unable to go up the mountain to relax.
For a moment, the cheers from the Salted Fish Villa were so deafening that the stars and the moon in the sky hid themselves secretly.
Everyone chatted until three o'clock in the morning, until they were yawning and so sleepy that tears were streaming down their faces, and then they reluctantly went back to their rooms and hugged their quilts.
The Lin family lived in Xianyu Villa for three days, but still couldn't sit still, so they moved back to Lin Family Villa.
During this period, Lin Baotian, Niu Tietou and Lin Xiaoshan even drove to the village below for a tour.
At first, I found some residents of the former Linjia Village, which was located below Wanbao Town, and the neighbors of Ergou Village to do work. Because I was going to the mountains with Lin Xiaoyue and others for a seven-day trip, I was supposed to inform them in advance, but I decided to go out and play at the last minute, so I hung a sign on the door to inform them.
I thought those people should come back to work on the eighth day after seeing this, but they were involved in the unexpected incident that happened in the military settlement. Now Lin Xiaoyue was worried about their injuries, so she asked everyone to stay in Xianyu Villa first and go back after their injuries were healed.
As a result, they were worried that when the villagers living in the village below came to look for them, they would find that the villa was empty, and they would have to run back and forth in vain. So the three of them drove to the village below to inform them.
But Grandpa Lin and the others couldn't sit still, so after three days of recuperation at the Xianyu Villa, except for the seriously injured hunter Lin Quanshui, and his young wife who stayed to take care of her so that Doctor Li could treat her nearby, everyone else quickly packed up and went back to Linjiazhuang.
During these three days, the news that Princess Le'an and her family were detained in the military settlement spread like wildfire, and all parties involved caused quite a stir.
Some of them, like the governor, the chief secretary, Team Leader Shen, and the magistrate of Wanbao Town, as well as several families who had regular dealings with Lin Xiaoyue, came to visit.
Of course, along with those who expressed concern and condolences, there were also those who took the opportunity to stir up trouble. For example, the family headed by the people from the old house of the Lin family were the most excited; secondly, the mother and son from the Wei family also joined in the fun; then there was the Mu family, who threatened to take Lin Xiaoyue as their twenty-third concubine, and the old official who had settled in Wanbao Town with them, also came out to join in the fun.
As for those who showed goodwill, Lin Xiaoyue picked out a few families that she had regular interactions with and let them into Xianyu Villa to meet them. She also informed them of the subsequent developments to reassure them.
The assassins and others were very surprised that the military settlement had internal strife and that Princess Le'an and the Lin family were involved. After all, the administrative management and military strategy of the state government were separate, and each had different responsibilities.
The administration was mainly responsible for local government affairs and civil affairs, while the military settlements were mainly responsible for military defense and frontier settlement affairs. Although there was a connection between the two, they were also governed separately.
This not only ensures the professionalism and independence of civil administration and military settlements, but also helps improve administrative and military efficiency.
Lin Xiaoyue was clear about the division of labor in local governance, so she felt resentful that the governor and others were not aware of the conflict between them and the military settlements and did not provide assistance in the first place.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, those who were forcibly taken away by the military must have committed serious crimes that seriously endangered national security and military interests, such as treason, rebellion, and conspiracy, and the military would take coercive measures to arrest them.
In this case, which is almost defined as one of the ten evil crimes, people are usually sentenced to beheading, slow slicing, cutting off the tongue, chopping off limbs and other extreme punishments that will punish nine or even ten clans, and everyone is afraid to avoid it. However, the governor and others were able to come to visit and comfort him at such a critical moment, which was enough to show their sincerity.
Lin Xiaoyue did not hide anything. Apart from military secrets such as gunpowder weapons, she only vaguely mentioned that a captain of the military settlement had taken a fancy to their family's secret recipe and wanted to rob it, so they found a random excuse to forcibly arrest all the members of the Lin family.
She was unwilling to lose her teeth and swallow her anger. She took a group of guards and servants to the military settlement to snatch the person back. This led to the rumor that the princess had a strong conflict with the army.
Although Lin Xiaoyue did not elaborate on the thrills, a group of less than 500 veterans dared to attack a military settlement with five thousand households and at least more than 5,500 soldiers under their command. It must have been a thrilling contest, which was definitely not achieved by bravery.
Lin Xiaoyue did not elaborate, which meant that there must be other hidden secrets. The governor and his men knew the meaning of the story, so it was not easy to pry into it. Anyway, it was enough that everyone had escaped safely.
Several families sat together and chatted for most of the day. After having a meal, they saw that everything in Xianyu Villa had returned to normal, so they said goodbye and went back.
As for those who were looking for trouble, like the people in the old Lin family house, after learning that the dead girl Lin Xiaoyue and everyone in Linjiazhuang had been arrested by the military settlement, it was as if they had lost their invisible restraints, and they jumped even more outrageously.
Why is it outrageous?
