Yu Shi nodded and went to help again. Lin Qinxin looked at his back as he left, thought for a moment, and followed him.

The two of them cooperated very well and were able to control quite a few men in black who had lost their ability to move due to inhaling poison gas.

Ever since Yu Ruyue's name was called out, those men in black rushed forward like dogs seeing meat buns, specifically targeting her. She held a musket and shot all those who rushed towards her like a god of death!

Her brain was splattered everywhere, but she remained calm, holding the slowly heating musket steadily in her hand to fight the enemy!

Soon, under her fierce offensive, most of the people were killed by her!

When everyone was completely under control, Yu Ruyue hurried over and helped Yu Dehou, who was still lying on the ground with a pale face and messy hair, up. "Dad! How do you feel?"

Yu Shi knelt down and said, "I am an unfilial and foolish son. I actually trusted two spies. That's why you and mother have suffered so much!"

Liang Shulan ran over quickly with the two children, "Old man, how are you? Are you hurt? Don't scare me, I can't live without you!"

An An and Ning Ning rushed over, crying like little cats, "Grandpa!"

"Grandpa, how are you?"

Yu Dehou had just fallen down and his knee hit a stone. He turned pale with pain. In the chaos, although he had a hidden crossbow to save his life, his arm was still scratched. But seeing his family members with worried expressions in front of him, he was able to endure the pain and comfort them, "Don't worry! I'm fine. I still want to see An An and Ning Ning get married!"

Yu Ruyue immediately took out a pill and stuffed it into her old father's mouth. She then took out a water bag from the space and poured the spiritual spring water inside into Yu Dehou's mouth. As soon as the sweet spiritual spring water entered his mouth, he instantly felt that the pain in his body had dissipated a lot.

Lin Yihao took the poison out of the spies' mouths and temporarily disabled them before asking, "Sister Ruyue! I'll take these people back for interrogation. This matter..."

Before he could finish his words, a group of people suddenly appeared from the nearby woods, "Master Lin! What a generous gesture!"

Lin Yihao looked back and found that the person in the lead was actually Captain Sun.

Captain Sun walked out with a wild laugh, his golden python-patterned boots treading heavily over the scattered rice on the ground. He walked towards Lin Yihao step by step, and the scabbard inlaid with oriental pearls slapped against Lin Yihao's lapel. "Without any permission, you dared to lead the troops out of the city without permission, and even closed the city gates without warning, causing unrest among the people? I'm afraid your official hat is over!"

The soldiers brought by Lin Yihao were filled with anger when they saw that a captain dared to treat the prefect like this.

The soldiers under Captain Sun suddenly raised their crossbows and aimed at everyone present.

Captain Sun laughed heartily. He hadn't expected his momentary curiosity to yield such unexpected results. "I just saw it all! You led your troops without permission, slaughtered innocent civilians, and then sealed the city gates for your own selfish desires. Lord Lin, you don't care about the lives of the people. Aren't you afraid of arousing public outrage?"

As he spoke, he walked over to Yu Ruyue and grabbed a strand of her hair, his nose almost touching it, his eyes full of sarcasm. "This witch used an evil weapon to hurt people, and Lord Lin not only didn't arrest her, but instead closed the city gates and let her kill!? Lord Lin! Even though this woman is beautiful, you can't let yourself be fooled like this!"

Lin Yihao knew that the man surnamed Sun thought he had something on him, which was why he was so arrogant.

Yu Ruyue also knew that this man must have been watching her for quite a long time and might have guessed her identity. He kept calling her a witch and a murderer just to throw dirty water on her so that he could control her and achieve his goal!

Lin Yihao was so angry at his arrogance that veins bulged under his wide sleeves, but his voice was as steady as a cold pond: "The law clearly states that if you capture three or more enemy spies, the prefect has the right to..."

"Bullshit!" Before Lin Yihao could finish his words, Captain Sun kicked over a sack full of rice seeds and approached with his golden shoes stepping on the falling grains.

"Do you think I'm one of those sour Confucian scholars?" He suddenly opened his shirt to reveal the hideous scar on his chest. "When I followed His Majesty to kill the enemy, you were still in your mother's womb!" He spitted on Lin Yihao's face, his face full of ferocity. "Today, I'm lucky enough to catch the prefect Lin and this evil woman committing a crime with my own hands."

"Ah!"

"It is well worth your Majesty's trust in me."

"That's right!" He suddenly turned his head, his greedy eyes glued to the musket in Yu Ruyue's hand. His Adam's apple rolled violently: "And this monster, and that monster food, all must be escorted to the capital!"

"As for you, Lord Lin—" He drew the long sword from his waist and gently tapped Lin Yihao's face with the back of the sword, "Just wait for His Majesty and those censors to sentence you!"

"However, I am now a little curious. How will you explain to His Majesty the secret possession of such a powerful weapon, such a high-yielding grain, and this powerful demon woman?"

He emphasized the word "witch". When he approached, he compared the woman in front of him with the portrait of the goddess in his mind. He had already confirmed the identity of the person in front of him, and he wanted to take this opportunity to suppress her deliberately!

He wanted to let this so-called goddess know the price of deceiving herself. Of course, most importantly, he wanted to find a reason to imprison this goddess so that she would not run away if he was not careful.

After he sends the person to Qin Guoan, not to mention the position of a small prefect, even the head of the military generals will probably be replaced.

Whenever Captain Sun thought of his glory at that time, he couldn't help but smile.

"Hahaha! Oh right! And that Shen Zhiheng, didn't he refuse to see me again and again?"

"Oh! Once you're convicted, he won't have many good days left. By then, it won't be him who doesn't want to see me, but I won't want to see that pretty boy of his."

He was speaking happily, and at this moment, the personal guard he brought with him suddenly came running over with a blood-stained letter, "Captain! This is what I found on the spy..."

"Shut up!" Captain Sun slapped the soldier so hard that blood gushed out of his mouth and nose. "What spies? These are innocent civilians. Do you understand?"

The guard nodded repeatedly in fear, "Yes! We found this blood-stained letter on an innocent civilian. It says..."

Captain Sun slapped him again, "Shut up! Bring me the letter!"

The personal guard quickly handed the letter over. Captain Sun read it quickly, a flicker of shock in his eyes. He had never expected that the seemingly peaceful Qingtian Prefecture would actually be so riddled with loopholes. These people were even connected to the seemingly polite Young Master Qin...

This matter was actually more complicated than he had imagined. If it was really as written in the letter, then he...

Just as he was lost in thought, Yu Ruyue suddenly spun around and pressed a musket against his temple. "Master Sun, what did you see? Why don't you share it with everyone?"
