Princess Promotion

The old man wanted to go with them to Huayang City to file a complaint to the emperor. Although no one would chase the old man, he couldn't just say that he was going to file a complaint to the emperor, so he pretended to be Lin'er's groom in the team.

Lin'er used to have only three guards and one maid, but now she has two maids, three guards, and one groom.

That's fine! Lin'er thought she was also a rich lady, so it was normal for so many people to serve her.

As long as he keeps an eye on those three guards who spend money like water, the money he has on him is enough to deal with them.

Then, Lin'er paid a heavy price for her complacency at this moment.

Later, a wet nurse joined Lin'er's team, and yes, she was also going to file a complaint with the emperor.

This time it was not because the family was broken up due to the inability to pay taxes, but because her husband was trampled to death in the street by local gentry on horseback.

The local government colluded with the gentry and insisted that the wet nurse's husband had committed suicide by hitting the horse, and then asked the wet nurse to pay compensation for the injured horse. This was simply too much.

Xiao Er had been writing the complaint all the way, and sparks were coming out of the tip of his pen.

Gradually, more people were added, including errand boys, handymen and even cooks.

At this moment, Lin'er put on the coarse linen clothes again and squatted in the corner, doubting her life.

What on earth is she doing?

Why did she go to Huayang City?

She didn't come out to relax, now she is almost a special team for filing complaints to the emperor!

What kind of character is this?

Why do I encounter human tragedy wherever I go?

Are there corrupt officials, bullies and hooligans everywhere?

Now there are even people in her team who were forced to become bandits by corrupt officials.

Lin'er began to wonder if she was living in a chaotic world. Otherwise, why hadn't she met a good official so far?

Li Yinhan felt a little sorry when he saw Lin'er squatting in the corner and muttering to herself.

He nudged Bai Yehan, who was standing next to him, with his elbow and said, "Are you going a little too far?"

Some people met only poor and persecuted people along the way. If the first one or two were just coincidences, how could it be such a coincidence every time?

If Miss Xiaoyun was an accident, then starting from the old man, all the others were probably deliberately arranged by Bai Yehan as coincidences.

Bai Yehan is the deputy commander of the Secret Shadow Division. He has spies in every county, so it is easy for him to arrange these things.

Bai Yehan patted Li Yinhan's elbow and said, "I've already brought him. Could it be that I know that person has been wronged, but I don't bring him because there are too many people?"

Li Yinhan thought about it and asked, "Why don't we tell her our identities? I see she's very distressed about the money she spent. Let her know that the court will compensate her for the money she spent later."

Bai Yehan stopped her and said, "Think about it, we didn't tell her at the beginning, and now we suddenly tell her that we actually have money. She has been feeling sorry for the money for so long, and she might blame us for not telling her earlier."

Li Yinhan instinctively resisted when he thought of facing Lin'er's anger.

Li Yinhan hesitated and asked, "But even if I don't tell you now, Huayang Lin'er will know sooner or later when she gets there."

Bai Yehan shook his head and said, "That's different. Arriving in Huayang City was something Lin Wan had arranged specifically to make her leave a good impression of kindness in front of His Majesty."

Li Yinhan: "But Ah Chu doesn't care about these empty things!"

Bai Yehan: "But Lin'er doesn't know!"

"What don't I know?" Lin'er saw the two of them whispering to each other for a long time.

Bai Yehan raised his head and answered naturally, "We may need to rescue two people later, but we haven't told you in advance."

Lin'er nodded to indicate that she understood now.

At this time, Li Yinhan pointed at the black smoke in the distance and said, "They have already started, let's take action too."

Bai Yehan pulled out a piece of black cloth from his bosom and covered his face with it, saying, "Miss, please go and get the carriage."

Lin'er nodded and walked towards where the carriage was parked.

Bai Yehan and Li Yinhan climbed over the wall into the mansion and waited for Lin'er to drive the carriage skillfully over.

Bai Yehan and Li Yinhan each carried one person over the wall, and they jumped onto the carriage one after the other in perfect tacit understanding. Lin'er didn't even need to pause.

Driving the carriage all the way towards the city gate, Lin'er was now very familiar with this kind of business.

When they left the city gate, Xiao Liu and her friends' carriage was already waiting for them in front.

Now that there are so many of them, the number of carriages has increased from one to five.

He told everyone that he was Lin'er's servant, and sometimes Lin'er felt that she was quite extravagant.

It takes a few days to walk past this town to reach the destination. It was once a small town on the border between the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Great Qi Dynasty. This is half the journey.

God knows when Lin'er heard the news, she almost cried with joy!

A few days later, when the first ray of morning light penetrated the mist and illuminated the outline of the border town, Lin'er and her group finally arrived at the border town.

As the carriage slowly moved forward, Lin'er and her group finally arrived at the gate of the border town.

The obvious signs of repair on the city wall appear more eye-catching under the sunlight shining on the wall.

In some places, new bricks alternate with old bricks, while in other places, rough stones fill the broken gaps.

When they arrived at their group, Bai Yehan took out his pass and silver as usual and stuffed them into the officer's pocket, saying, "This is a small token of my appreciation. Take this and have some tea, sir."

The officer guarding the city didn't even look at the silver. He just returned it and said, "Keep the silver!"

Then he carefully checked the pass and found something wrong. He pointed at the people behind the carriage and said, "Your pass is wrong. These people are not on it."

As the officer spoke, his expression became cautious, and his hand was on the hilt of the sword, ready to draw his sword immediately if Bai Yehan made any unusual movement.

Bai Yehan was not at all flustered, and still wore a smile on his face as he said, "Master, I have other passes. Can you please move a little further?"

The officer took a quick look and saw that most of the people in this group were the elderly, the weak, women and children, and there were few able-bodied men. Then he nodded and walked aside with Bai Yehan.

Bai Yehan took out a token from his pocket and handed it over, saying in a low voice: "I'm working for the Secret Shadow Division. Please give me some convenience."

The officer took the token and looked at it carefully. When he looked up again, the alertness in his eyes had faded. He nodded and waved to his colleagues, signaling them to pass.

Bai Yehan took the token back, walked to Lin'er and said, "Miss, everything has been taken care of. We can go into the city now."

Lin'er had just clearly seen the official return the silver to Bai Yehan, and she thought she could not enter the city today.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yehan took the person aside and said a few words, and everything was fine. Lin'er asked, "What did you say that made them let you go?"

Bai Yehan opened his mouth and said two words: "Add money!"

Lin'er didn't want to know how much money was added at that moment, because she was numb now and knew that the money was doomed to be lost.

Her biggest hope now is that the money can last until they reach Huayang City, and that they will not starve to death on the way.

To be honest, Lin'er is so poor now that she even wants to catch wanted criminals as long as she can make some money.

As I was thinking about this, I suddenly saw a notice posted at the city gate. From a distance, it looked like a portrait.

Lin'er instantly became alert and pulled Xiao Liu to run over to take a look. If she happened to meet a wanted criminal one day, it would be like picking up silver for free.

When Lin'er walked to the signboard, she saw two wanted criminals. One of them was a woman who looked young, pretty and had a bit of spirituality.

According to the wanted notice, the fugitive is called Shen San. He stole property from the general's mansion, and the general's mansion offered a reward of five thousand taels of silver.

Seeing this Lin'er sighed, this woman really doesn't look like a bandit. You are such a beautiful woman, why do you become a thief?

Lin'er looked at the second picture, her eyes widened instantly, and she turned her head stiffly to look at Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu also stared at Lin'er with round eyes, and raised his finger tremblingly: "Miss...he..."

Lin'er immediately covered Xiao Liu's mouth with her hand, not daring Xiao Liu to say the rest of the words.

Lin'er took another closer look and found that the second wanted poster was for Li San. Although the wanted poster said "Anonymous", he was in the same group as Shen San.

Looking again, I found that the reward for Li San was only one thousand and two taels of silver, so little!

Lin'er continued reading and found that the time was not right with the government.

The county government office of Yudu City in the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is not a wanted order issued by the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Lin'er realized instantly that this was a wanted order issued by the Western Zhou Dynasty for Li San. Later, Li San fled to Da Qi and was taken in by his cousin's wife.

But now that half of the Western Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed by the Great Qi, this wanted order is now in name only.

Lin'er finally breathed a sigh of relief. She said that Li San was so good at chasing people who set up stalls and picking doors and locks. It turned out that this was his profession!

It seems that Li San used to follow a woman named Shen San to steal everywhere, but later he and Shen San parted ways for some reason, and he went to live with his cousin's wife and was assigned to protect her.

Lin'er instantly imagined all kinds of grudges and hatreds in the martial arts world, all kinds of clear loves and hates, and severing ties of friendship.

I'm really curious about how Li San fell out with Shen San.

Just as Lin'er breathed a sigh of relief, two officers came over with a dozen new wanted warrants.

An officer saw Lin'er reading the notice and reminded her, "Miss, the wanted order on this notice has expired. Now we are arresting other wanted criminals."

Lin'er asked in a relaxed tone, "Really? Then who are the wanted criminals being apprehended recently?"

An officer handed Lin'er a portrait of the wanted criminal, while another officer began to paste a new wanted poster.

As the officer handed it over, he said, "There's been a gang of flower-plundering thieves roaming around lately, specifically raping and kidnapping young and beautiful women."

Lin'er felt a little strange when she heard it. She had only heard of one flower thief. Now flower thieves like to come out in groups to commit crimes?

At the same time, the officer unfolded the wanted poster on the notice and posted it.

The wanted poster clearly showed the portraits of Li San and Xiao Er. Their faces were painted vividly, and a high reward was written below.

Lin'er's eyes widened, and she could hardly believe her eyes.

What's going on? Li San, this unlucky kid, was a wanted criminal in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Now he is a wanted criminal again in the territory of Da Qi.

Lin'er's heartbeat quickened, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

She quickly put the wanted poster away and winked at Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu immediately understood and followed Lin'er closely, then left and walked towards the team as if nothing had happened.

Li Yinhan, wearing a bamboo hat, asked Bai Yehan beside him, "Why did you suddenly ask Xiao Liang and me to wear bamboo hats?"

Bai Yehan said without even looking up, "Because you two are wanted criminals now."

Li Yinhan looked at Bai Yehan in astonishment and said, "They are crazy indeed, to dare to issue a wanted order for me!"

Bai Yehan waved his hand and said, "The problem is that they don't know who you are, and we can't let them know who you are now, otherwise they will notice something and might run away early."

If those corrupt officials and bullies knew that the current emperor's cousin brought a group of people to file a complaint with the emperor, would they be waiting to die if they didn't run away?

Of course, Bai Yehan was not 100% sure that everyone would escape, there would always be a few who were not afraid of death.

How can these corrupt officials be so wicked? They can accuse them of any crime, even murderer Li Yinhan would dare to admit it.

He actually said that he was a flower thief. If his father saw this wanted poster, he would definitely break his legs.

Bai Yehan was also helpless about this. Although there were occasional disputes along the way, they did not get out of hand or cause any casualties.

The most outrageous thing he did was to climb over the wall to rescue the women who were forced into the mansion.

The women who were favored and forcibly taken into the mansion all had one thing in common, that is, they were young and beautiful.

All these wanted warrants against them are not wrong in a sense.

Li Yinhan felt something was wrong, turned around and looked Bai Yehan up and down and said, "This is not right!"

Bai Yehan looked at Li Yinhan innocently and said, "That's not right?"

Li Yinhan: "Every time it was you and I who climbed over the wall to commit crimes... Ugh... We were saving people, so why are there only Xiao Liang and me on the wanted list, but not you?"

This is also what puzzled Li Yinhan. Every time they took action, he and Bai Yehan would climb over the wall, and it would be Lin'er who would pick them up. Xiao Liang was basically a mascot and was not even as good as Lin'er.

But in the end, why were he and Xiao Liang on the wanted list, while Bai Yehan was fine? Is this justice?

There is definitely something fishy going on!

Bai Yehan said silently: "This wanted order was issued by Hua'an City. At that time, your appearances were exposed."

Later, Bai Yehan and Li Yinhan went to rescue people. Although they were masked every time, they were not the first to be spotted.

As long as someone came to the inn with the wanted poster and asked, someone would immediately recognize Li Yinhan and Xiao Liang, who just happened to have rescued someone in the local area.

These coincidences happened several times in a row. Even though they were masked every time they rescued people, the government generally believed that the masked Bai Yehan was Xiao Liang.

It was by this coincidence that Xiao Liang became Bai Yehan's scapegoat.

Li Yinhan suddenly didn't dare to think about it. If Lord Xiao saw that his grandson had become a flower thief, his face would probably be quite interesting.

At this time, Lin'er ran over stealthily, and Xiao Liu followed behind with a package on his back.

When Lin'er saw these two people standing on the street and chatting so casually, she was furious.

He walked up to Li Yinhan and cursed in a low voice: "Li San, you've become a flower thief and are still wandering around the streets. You don't want to live anymore, right?"

Bai Yehan suppressed a laugh and said, "If you get caught, don't betray us!"

Li Yinhan gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I will never let you go."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the inn.

Lin'er looked at Li Yinhan's back and muttered to herself, "Should we separate from him? If he gets caught, won't we all be caught in one fell swoop?"

Bai Yehan smiled and agreed: "That makes sense!"
