The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

"Quickly bring the ropes and tie up these people." Seeing that those people were beaten to a pulp, Lu Linlang gave an order, and the drivers and Master Zhang and his group quickly found the remaining ropes.

"You've offended me today, and you've hit a brick wall. We don't want to be enemies with you, but you've come to our door. If we still try to avoid you, we'd be foolish."

Those people kept begging for mercy, but Lu Linlang ignored them completely. After saying this, she let those people be dragged behind the car.

"Miss Lu, I didn't expect you to know martial arts. You're so amazing." Young Master Zhang looked at her with eyes full of admiration. Just now he thought his life was over, and he was thinking in his heart that he hoped they could escape and inform his family of the death.

But unexpectedly, things turned out to be auspicious. Not only was he not killed, but he also managed to catch the robbers with the help of Miss Lu's men.

"Master Zhang must have heard about my father's character, so he learned some martial arts just to protect himself. Let's leave quickly before the government office closes."

The group walked all the way to the city gate. Everyone around saw this scene. Looking at the masked man with his hands tied and being dragged, they pointed and talked. He was very high-profile all the way, so he quickly attracted everyone's attention.

The clerk who looked down on others and the people in the shop naturally saw this scene. They looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

"Let's go, let's go and take a look." Some people joined in the fun and followed them towards the government office.

In the government office, a constable suddenly came running and said that a woman had come to the door with a group of people, claiming that the group was committing robbery, and that he had come to report the case. The prefect was puzzled, as how could someone dare to rob in the city in broad daylight?

"Sir, this is the business card handed to me by that woman." When going on a long journey, Lu Linlang naturally brought her family's business card with her and wrote down her identity and family background when she arrived at the door.

"They are actually nobles from the capital. Bring them in quickly and see what's going on."

Soon, Lu Linlang and her group were called in by the police. The prefect first asked about Lu Linlang's identity. After confirming it, he said politely, "Young lady, you are the daughter of the Earl of Zhongyong. I am sorry for your disrespect. Since you two are the victims, there is no need to kneel down. Young lady, tell me, what happened?"

"Thank you, sir. This is what happened..." Lu Linlang explained the actions of these people one by one, and also stated that these people deliberately followed them. Outside the city, they not only planned to rob money, but also wanted to kill them.

"In broad daylight, in the open, you dare to deceive people in my Zhuozhou Prefecture. Come, give these people twenty lashes and throw them in jail. Find out if they have any criminal records."

The course of events and the reasons behind it were known not only to the victim, Young Master Zhang, but also to the local rickshaw drivers. They were all able to confirm the authenticity of the incident. Moreover, this group of people had been roaming around various state capitals, making a living and moving to another place. They were worried that their previous deeds would be dug up, so they could only confess their crimes as soon as possible. At least they had not succeeded this time.

"Your Excellency is very perceptive. We are very grateful." Lu Linlang bowed to the prefect. Young Master Zhang and his servants knelt down to express their gratitude before they walked out of the government office with peace of mind.

There were also people watching outside the door during this scene. When they learned that this group of people not only cheated people, but also wanted to kill people, and the person they offended was not an ordinary person, but a girl from the Earl's Mansion, everyone sighed.

Even Young Master Zhang looked at Lu Linlang differently now. He originally thought that Lu Linlang was doing business with him as a partner, and her capital was not as much as his, so his opinion should be more important in this purchase.

But in the face of real power, money is nothing. No matter how rich he is, the prefect's attitude today would not be so gentle. This is all for Miss Lu's sake.

"Miss Lu, if it weren't for you today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything. Anyway, I'm grateful for your kindness. Don't worry, you can always use me if you need anything in the future. Miss Lu, is the silver you brought this time enough? I can still get some more. Why don't you lend it to you for your business?"

"Master Zhang, there's no need to thank me. Since we've partnered up, it's natural for us to win together. We have different strengths, so it's only natural for us to help each other. You've been frightened today, so why don't we go back to the inn and rest, and then go to the innkeeper tomorrow?"

"No need. I'm not hurt at all. How can I be so fragile? Let's go. Since we have already made an agreement with the shopkeeper, we can't go back on our word." He has adjusted himself now and just wants to get things done here as soon as possible.

"Then let's go there first." When several coachmen heard that they were going to Zhinu Street, they naturally hurried to pick up the people. Ma Da followed the car, and Master Zhang's servants transported the purchased goods back to the inn first, and then they arrived at Zhinu Street.

"Boss, this is bad. The girl that Li Si offended that day turned out to be the daughter of the Earl's Mansion. Just now they went to the yamen to report the case, and the prefect was still talking to the girl with a smile." In Lingguang Pavilion, the clerk who had just been watching the excitement hurriedly reported to the boss.

The shopkeeper had known about this matter that day, but when he heard that the group of people were indeed dressed in ordinary clothes, he let it go and did not pursue the matter any further.

But now the situation has changed. The girl is actually from the capital and is a person of status. The shopkeeper immediately called the waiter over.

"Li Si, this is all your fault. I let you talk without restraint, and now our shop has offended such a big shot. If she says anything in front of the prefect, you and I will be finished!"

Li Si had not joined in the fun just now, but when he heard about it, he became very worried. His legs went weak and he knelt in front of the shopkeeper.

"Boss, please forgive me this time. I was really blind and made a mistake. This is all my fault. I have parents and children to take care of. If I leave Lingguang Pavilion, I will have nowhere to go. I will definitely change. I will definitely change."

"What's the point of changing it? The girl doesn't know you changed it. If she wants to investigate, we're all done."

The clerk who just reported the news was called Chen Jia. He rolled his eyes and looked at the worried shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, you see, after that girl left angrily that day, she hasn't come back and hasn't caused any trouble. Maybe Li Si is not in the eyes of that girl either, so as long as we don't cause trouble, that girl won't come to us.

But I heard that they seemed to have gone to the shop at the end of the street. If we can ask the girl to forgive us and let her not pursue the matter, then we won’t have to worry about it anymore, right? "

"Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to be so quick-witted. Okay, when they come out, go and invite them to the shop. I'll have Li Si personally serve tea and admit his mistake. I'll ask that girl to not pursue our shop's responsibility anymore. As for his, that girl can do whatever she wants with him."

Lu Linlang and her group had just placed the order when they saw the Chen family waiting at the door. The Chen family introduced themselves and explained the reason. Lu Linlang had not expected that today's incident would also intimidate the owner of Lingguang Pavilion, so she naturally did not refuse. It is always better to have one more stranger than one more enemy. It is too disturbing for the enemy to play tricks behind the back.

Sure enough, when they arrived at Lingguang Pavilion, the shopkeeper invited them to a private room and asked Li Si to apologize in person. Li Si also tearfully acted out the poverty of his family. Lu Dashui and others standing by felt proud.

Following the boss is such a thrilling life.
