Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

After the women were taken away, the backyard was finally quiet.

King Xuan and Chuba were walking casually inside. When they came to a remote corner, a figure came into their sight.

Lin Desheng's third son, Lin Shiyan, was frantically carrying a bundle and trying to escape quietly through the back door.

His face was pale, his eyes were full of fear and anxiety, and he looked around.

Chuba reacted quickly, flew forward and blocked Lin Shiyan's way.

King Xuan walked over and asked jokingly, "Lin Shiyan, where are you going? Why don't you say hello to me?"

Lin Shiyan looked terrified and stammered, "I... I just want to... leave here.

My father has been arrested, and I...I don't want to stay."

King Xuan smiled coldly and waved his hand to signal Chuba to open Lin Shiyan's bag.

In addition to two sets of clothes, the bundle was filled with banknotes, gold and silver jewelry, and even a famous painting.

"This painting came from your father, right?" King Xuan asked seriously.

Lin Shiyan lowered his head and choked up, "Yes, this is a gift from my father. He said this painting can keep me safe."

King Xuan said coldly: "I don't think it can."

Lin Shiyan burst into tears and begged, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I study at home every day and I don't know anything!

My father must have been wronged.

Your Majesty...”

King Xuan did not say anything else, but just looked at Lin Shiyan with cold eyes.

Then he signaled Chuba to take Lin Shiyan and his bag away.

The atmosphere in the Lin residence changed from being luxurious and noisy at first to being quiet and deserted in an instant.

Standing in front of the Lin Mansion,

King Xuan looked at the escorted team and knew that the next thing would be the busiest.

After King Xuan and his companions left, the gate of the Lin Mansion was also sealed.

At the same time, a notice was posted at the city gate, detailing the crimes of Lin Zhizhou and the county magistrate.

This notice attracted the attention of many people, and everyone gathered around to watch.

An old man squeezed into the crowd and listened to the person next to him reading the notice, tears streaming down his face.

He wiped it with his sleeve and strode back. He wanted to bring back the good news.

Now that the corrupt official has been arrested, no one knows where her daughter and grandson are, or whether they are still alive.

As the news spread, such things happened in many places.

"Old Zhang, why are you still here? Hasn't your land been occupied?

Now that Lin Desheng has been arrested, let’s go to the county government office quickly.

The notice said that victims can file a record, and once the investigation proves it is true, it will be returned to us.”

"Are you serious? Is this true?"

The man called Lao Zhang was obviously a little skeptical.

"Of course, the notice is posted at the city gate. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself!"

"Okay, let's ask Lin to go with us."

"Then go and call Lin the Kid, and I'll go look for Aunt Hua."

"Okay, see you at the entrance of the village."

As they talked, they walked quickly towards the village.

They walked hurriedly, with expressions of excitement and anticipation on their faces.

Lao Zhang came to a shabby little house and knocked on the door: "Lin boy, come out quickly, I have something good to tell you."

There were footsteps inside the door, and then the door opened, revealing a young and simple face.

"Uncle Zhang, what's the matter? Why is it so urgent?" Lin asked curiously.

Old Zhang said excitedly: "Lin Desheng has been arrested! Now the county government has posted a notice asking us victims to go and register. Once the investigation proves the facts, the land will be returned to us."

After hearing this, Lin's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Really? That's great! Let's go quickly then."

After saying that, he followed Lao Zhang to the village entrance.

On the other side, another man also found Aunt Hua.

She was basking in the sun in the yard. When she saw the man coming, she smiled and greeted him: "Hey, why are you here?"

The man panted and said, "Auntie Hua, Lin Desheng has been arrested. The county government asked us victims to file a record. Once the investigation is complete, we can get our land back."

After hearing this, Aunt Hua's eyes flashed with joy, and then she stood up and followed him.

Soon, all four of them arrived at the entrance of the village.

They expressed their joy to each other and couldn't wait to set out for the county government office.

On the other side, a man pulled his wife and was about to walk out: "Mother, let's go quickly, let's go pick up Lili and take her home."

When the woman heard this, she immediately grabbed her husband and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Will the county magistrate let him go? Don't go, you can't come back."

As she spoke, the woman couldn't help wiping away her tears.

The man quickly comforted her, "It won't happen this time. They have all been arrested. Let's go and ask the prince to release our daughter."

The woman was startled, then asked in surprise, "Really?"

The man nodded: "Of course it's true, let's go."

So the couple hurried out.

Similar conversations took place in many places.

When other people heard the news, they also flocked into the city and gathered in front of the government office.

King Xuan saw so many people gathered at the gate of the government office.

He simply ordered his men to set up a few tables outside the county government office.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Someone whispered, "What is the purpose of placing these tables in front of the government office?"

Another person replied: "You are stupid! Didn't you see so many people came? How can the county government accommodate all of them?"

Someone else suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I see. The case will be tried outside! But it doesn't seem to require so many tables!"

For a moment, people were whispering to each other and discussions were heard one after another.

Seeing that most of the people had arrived, Chuqi turned around and walked into the county government office.

He reported to King Xuan, who was concentrating on reading the files, "Your Majesty, almost everyone has arrived."

King Xuan nodded to show that he understood.

He put down the file in his hand, stood up, and walked out of the county government office with Chuqi.

When he came outside, King Xuan looked at the noisy crowd in front of him and raised his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet.

After seeing King Xuan's gesture, everyone quickly quieted down and stopped making noise.

Then, King Xuan said, "I will be handling cases in the county government office in the next few days. Anyone who has grievances can come and report them.

Do you see these tables? I will assign two people to each table, one to record and one to supervise.

You will come here to line up and register and sign your names later. I will verify your information one by one and seek redress for you.

However, if I find out that someone has made a false report and is trying to fish in troubled waters, I will not be merciful."

King Xuan's voice was clearly heard by everyone, and his eyes swept across the crowd, majestic and intimidating.

Looking at the silent crowd, he said, "Let's get started."

As these three words fell, ten scholars from the academy walked out of the crowd.

They were dressed in blue shirts, walked steadily, and had confidence and determination on their faces.

They walked to each table and sat down, picking up pens to record the people's demands.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became tense. Everyone was a little hesitant and did not dare to step forward to report the case easily.

After all, facing the government's scrutiny, no one knows what the outcome will be.

The couple who wanted to take their daughter home stepped forward first, which showed that they really loved their daughter and would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

The couple's actions attracted the attention of people around them, and everyone started talking about it.

Then there's the search for people, people in the family who have disappeared for no apparent reason.

The land was occupied.

There are also those who want to overturn the verdict for themselves or their family and friends.

For a time, the variety of cases was dazzling.

As time went on, more and more people came forward to report the case.

The whole scene became lively but orderly.

Each reporter lined up as required and told his or her experience to the scholar who was recording it in turn.

The scholars also listened carefully and took notes in detail, not missing any details.
