"Young City Lord, be careful! Don't fall. If you get hurt, Madam will question you, and I won't be able to handle it."
The two servants helped Nie Pengyun up. They didn't know why Lin Ting's few light words could scare their young city lord so much.
"Mr. Lin, what do you know? Who sent you here?"
Nie Pengyun forced himself to stand up, but his voice and body were shaking.
"It's nothing. I just saw injustice and helped others. By the way, I want to help Dongxia Kingdom's gold mine and let it go to where it belongs."
Now, the last bit of luck in Nie Pengyun's heart was gone. Lin Ting actually knew about the gold mine.
Besides, his father Nie Tian was still at home. Without him to manage the gold mine, it would surely be surrounded and attacked by the government, and everything would be over...
"You... I'm going to kill you. Come on, kill all these people. If I can't live well, I want you to be buried with me. I want you all to die... Hahaha..."
Nie Pengyun's men rushed in and started fighting with Cheng Si's men. Cheng Si and Lin Ting together protected the elderly, weak, women and children outside the city.
"Wan Weiran, take your men to protect the aunts. I'm here."
"Master Lin, be careful!"
Wan Weiran also called on his superiors to take the hundred or so people outside the city farther away, otherwise they would be accidentally injured by the swords of these guards.
Lin Ting's skills are pretty good, and she can handle these not very professional people, but to catch the thief, one must catch the leader first. She found an opportunity and rushed directly to Nie Pengyun.
Next to him were two servants who had no martial arts skills. Lin Ting kicked one of them away and threw the other over his shoulder so that he couldn't get up.
Lin Ting picked up a knife and put it directly on Nie Pengyun's neck.
"Stop it, or I'll kill your young city lord."
In an instant, all the sounds of weapons colliding stopped, and the people brought by Nie Pengyun did not dare to move.
After the other side stopped moving, Cheng Si's men quickly protected their own people, and the remaining Nie Pengyun was so scared that he didn't dare to move.
"Stop it, be careful, don't hurt me..."
Lin Ting sneered and pushed the knife against Nie Pengyun's neck again.
"Nie Pengyun, it's still uncertain who will win today, don't be too happy too soon."
Lin Ting had just pacified the situation here when many soldiers and officers arrived from outside the city. Shen Qingzhou and Hu Zi rushed to the front anxiously.
"Ma'am, are you okay? Are you hurt? We're late."
Two officers took the person from Lin Ting's hand and took Nie Pengyun away together. The prefect's men also surrounded the outside of Yunzhou City.
Shen Qingzhou hugged Lin Ting and quickly checked her, his face full of worry.
"I'm fine. Are you guys done with your business?"
In the past two days, Shen Qingzhou and Hu Zi rushed to Zhangzhou without stopping and finally invited the Zhangzhou prefect, Lord Du, to come.
"Yes! This is the prefect of Zhangzhou, Lord Du."
Lin Ting looked at the man in front of him. He was dressed in official uniform, with a dignified temperament, majesty and justice.
"Master Du is well!"
"Mrs. Lin spent all her money on traveling to the capital to save the people, and she deserves the title of heroine.
Of course, Mr. Shen has already told me about the Yunzhou City incident. I am truly ashamed that such a thing could happen under my management."
The entire Yunzhou City has been controlled by Governor Du, including the City Lord's Mansion.
When Hu Zi came back, she ran to her mother with a victorious smile on her face.
"Mom, we are back!"
Hu Zi's mother reached out and touched Hu Zi's face. This face looked 80% like her husband. Every time she saw Hu Zi, it reminded her of the person she relied on.
"It'll be good if you come back, it'll be good if you come back."
"Mom, there's a surprise tonight. You'll know soon."
Hu Zi said this with a mysterious look on his face, but his mother felt that as long as he was safe, it would be the biggest surprise.
Seeing that he was caught, Nie Pengyun still held on to a glimmer of hope.
"Master Du, it's me, my father Nie Tian. You've arrested the wrong people. You should have arrested these outsiders. They poisoned the people of Yunzhou City."
Only by dragging Lin Ting into the water would he have a chance of survival. He was anxious and hoped that God would let Lin Ting take effect of the poison quickly so that she would never be able to speak again.
They can’t tell the prefect about the gold mine, so their Nie family can survive.
But, she clearly ate the porridge, so how could she not be poisoned? The food he had someone buy was highly toxic.
Du Kangsheng glanced at Nie Pengyun, who didn't look like he was lying.
"Master Du is right. They put poison in the porridge. Now everyone who has eaten the porridge has been poisoned, including my dog. Look, my dog has gone crazy and is almost dead."
Du Kangsheng must take the lives of these people seriously, regardless of whether they are true or false. Within his management scope, it is absolutely not allowed to do such a thing.
"Someone, go check on that pot of porridge."
Du Kangsheng gave the order to have someone use a silver needle to check if it was poisonous. He came here to explore the Yunzhou City.
A person who followed Du Kangsheng immediately used a silver needle to test the poison. There was still some residue in the pot. After checking, the silver needle did not change color.
The man came back and reported: "Sir, Madam Lin's porridge is fine."
Nie Pengyun also saw that the silver needle did not change color. How could this be possible? He clearly saw his men put the poison in the bucket, so how could there be no poison?
"Sir, this porridge is really poisonous. Eating it will kill you. They are trying to kill people.
Master Du, you must believe me, this porridge is definitely poisonous. My dog is almost dead. You see, this is not wrong. "
Nie Pengyun said this with certainty, but Lin Ting didn't want to play with him anymore. She walked forward and looked at the dog that was being led and barking madly.
"Is the Young City Lord's dog dying? It looks like it to me too."
Nie Pengyun raised his chin with a smile on his face. Lin Ting finally admitted that once his dog died, Lord Du would believe what he said.
But before the dog could take effect of the poison, Lin Ting took the two steamed buns that she and Wan Weiran had not eaten and threw them to the dog at her feet.
Seeing the steamed buns, the dirty dog immediately started to devour them, eating faster than the refugees outside the city. This scene stunned everyone present.
"This dog is so pitiful. Even the City Lord's Mansion, the lord of a city, doesn't have any food to feed it. It's almost starving to death. Its cries are so pitiful."
After mocking Nie Pengyun, Lin Ting continued, "Young City Lord Nie keeps saying that I poisoned the people of Yunzhou City, but everyone has been living well after eating porridge for two days.
But why would I kill the people of Yunzhou City? They have no grudge against me, so what is my motive for killing them?
Yes, Hu Zi's mother and the others saw what Lin Ting did, and there was no reason for Lin Ting to kill them.
Even if he wanted to kill them, there was no need to go to such lengths and give them porridge, spending a lot of money. If he let them starve outside Yunzhou City for a few days, they would naturally die. They couldn't understand why Lin Ting would want to kill them.
Nie Pengyun: “…”
