After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Chapter 417 Exposed

The child was very thin, about ten years old, and his body was struggling to break free from Yijia's restraints.

"Let me go, let me go..."

Lin Ting stared at the child's face. It looked very familiar, very much like someone.

Bai Lu stepped forward and searched the child's clothes, and sure enough, she found a few broken firecrackers and a fire starter.

In the border town, people used to spend all their money just to get a sip of water. This fire starter is not cheap, and it is even more unlikely that it will appear in the possession of a child.

Together with the firecrackers on him, these were the firecrackers that Xiao Jingchuan used to blow up Saren's army that day.

Only some scattered, unburned firecrackers would appear under the gate of the border town, where blood would fly everywhere.

After the army dealt with the corpses, they would not allow children to appear there, only some civilians who volunteered to clean up.

Therefore, the things that this child took today were not things he could touch. It must be someone who instigated him.

"Madam, what should we do with this child?"

Although Bai Lu was extremely angry, she couldn't bring herself to do it when she saw that it was a child.

"Take it back to Weirui Pavilion."

Lin Ting didn't believe that if she took the child away, his parents would not be anxious.

Sure enough, when Lin Ting and his group were about to take the child away, his father finally showed up.

Tian Wei threw the firewood on his shoulders, ran to Xiao Jingchuan with open arms, blocking the group's way.

"Your Highness, this is my son Tian Mieluo. He followed me up the mountain to chop wood. I don't know what trouble he got into. Why is Your Highness taking him away like this?"

Xiao Jingchuan knew Tian Wei. After his wife died, he wanted to join the army many times. Xiao Jingchuan refused him because Tian Wei had a child to take care of. He also sympathized with his situation.

"Tian Wei, is this child yours?"

Tian Wei nodded, his eyes scanning the group of people with an ignorant look on his face.

"It's my son. I was chopping wood in the mountains and asked him to wait for me here. I didn't know I would meet you, Your Highness."

When Tian Wei came out, Lin Ting recognized the man and was even more certain that his guess was correct.

This person hated her and wanted to kill her.

"It's good that he's your son. If a son is not well educated, it's the fault of his father. He tried to kill me but failed. Since you can't educate him, I can help you."

After hearing this, Lin asked Bai Lu to take the child from Yijia's hands. Tian Wei thought that he could use the child to cover up his crime perfectly, but he didn't understand Lin Ting at all.

Seeing that Lin Ting was about to take Tian Mieluo away, Tian Wei's face became anxious and he reached out to pull Tian Mieluo back to his side, but how could Bai Lu let him meet this criminal.

The missed hand stopped in mid-air, and Tian Wei turned to look at Lin Ting.

"Mrs. Wei Rui, my son is still young. He is just a child. How could he kill anyone? Besides, who did he kill? Do you have any evidence?

You are an adult, how could you believe that a child would kill someone? Or are you deliberately trying to embarrass my son?"

Lin Ting laughed. She moved closer to Tian Wei, and that sneer in her face seemed to see through everything.

"Don't you know whether your son has killed anyone? If you really hate the people of Xiluo and attack me on this road, do you think Xiluo will be destroyed?

I tell you, without my Weirui Pavilion's business, there will be thousands and thousands of Weirui Pavilions doing business with Xiluo. Can you destroy them all?

If you really want to kill the Xiluo people, then you might as well go to Xiluo and hide, looking for an opportunity to take the enemy's head. If you don't know how, I can teach you, you..."

"Mrs. Weirui!"

Lin Ting was so angry that he couldn't finish his words when he was stopped by Xiao Jingchuan. He really loved his people like his own children.

Xiao Jingchuan looked at the two people who were on the verge of a fight. The whole story had not been figured out yet, and he was not sure whether Tian Wei had induced his son to deliberately target Lin Ting.

"Madam Weirui, you've just been frightened. Go back first. I'll investigate this matter for you."

Xiao Jingchuan didn't let Lin hear about it, so Lin Ting didn't talk about Tian Wei. Her horse and carriage were destroyed, so they should talk about compensation.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, I leave the affairs of the people in the border town to you, but you also know that I am a businessman, and I never do business at a loss."

Lin Ting said this while looking at the child in Bai Lu's arms.

"This kid used firecrackers to blow up my carriage, frightening the horses. Now the carriage is broken and the horses are dead. I have to settle this account. Bai Lu, tell them how much the carriage and horses are worth."

"Yes!"

Bai Lu cleared her throat and began to quote: "These two carriages are the ones Madam took from the capital. Because the distance between the capital and the border town is long and difficult to travel, we chose the best mahogany carriages.

The price of this carriage in the capital is nine hundred and eighty taels of silver. Even if it is sold now, it will be worth at least nine hundred taels of silver.

That horse is a royal gift, priceless to our lady, and cannot be bought with money.

Our lady is kind-hearted, so we will give you 10,000 taels of silver for the Ferghana horse, making a total of 10,900 taels.

This kid used firecrackers to kill the imperial BMW. We absolutely cannot let him go. You have to pay me some silver as compensation. Hand over the money and the boy!"

More than ten thousand taels of silver, even if Tian Wei was sold dry, would not be worth that much silver.

He originally wanted to kill Madam Weirui, but he didn't expect that she would not die. If his son fell into her hands, and she helped the Xiluo people, he would definitely not be a good person.

If she tortured her own son, what would happen to her son?

This time, he miscalculated.

"Your Highness!"

He couldn't come up with more than ten thousand taels of silver, and at the moment, only the second prince Xiao Jingchuan could help him.

"Your Highness the Second Prince!"

Before Xiao Jingchuan could speak, Lin Ting spoke first.

"The one who died was a Ferghana horse bestowed by the emperor. Do you know what 'imperial gift' means? If this were brought to the attention of the local authorities, no one else would be willing to take over my case.

If I sue, killing the imperially gifted BMW would be a crime of great disrespect. Do you think a commoner from a small border town could withstand the emperor's wrath?"

Xiao Jingchuan was speechless. Compared to what Lin had heard, a compensation of more than ten thousand silver coins was really not much.

"Mrs. Weirui, but..."

"But what? Could it be that the Second Prince wants to help with so much silver? It's all right. I just want to get the silver. It doesn't matter who pays for it."

Lin Ting knew that Xiao Jingchuan did not have so much silver. His army was short of food before and he had used up his salary long ago.

"This matter concerns your safety. I will investigate it. Before I do, please treat this child well. In case it is just a misunderstanding..."

Xiao Jingchuan meant to agree to let Lin Ting take Tian Mieluo away, and Lin Ting did as he wished and let Bai Lu carry Tian Mieluo onto the horse.

Tian Wei was extremely anxious, but he couldn't get close to Bai Lu, so he could only worry.

"Dad, save me, I don't want to go with this bad woman from Silla, Dad, save me..."

After Lin Ting got on the horse, he looked down at Tian Weidao beside him.

"I'm a bad woman. I won't waste food to feed someone who wants to kill me. Also, next time before you pick up manure and throw it at someone else's door, change your clothes first, so you don't get caught!"
