"......Sir Lu, what are you doing?" the butler who opened the door for Lu Mingyun asked in panic.
Lu Mingyun just smiled, and without saying anything, he pushed aside the Lin family's chief steward who was blocking the door and walked in. "Is Madam Lin home? I have something to say to her today."
"Old lady... Old lady is ill and needs to rest. Lord Lu, please come another day!" The Lin family's chief steward caught up and seemed to want to stop him but didn't dare to.
Lu Mingyun chuckled, "As long as she's not dead, let her come out to see me. I've been feeling upset lately. If it's any later, I'll have my own people go and invite her!"
The Lin family's chief steward swallowed his saliva, blinking his small eyes hard. If it was just an ordinary minor official, he would risk his life to delay time, but Lu Mingyun was not like that. Even if he stopped Lu Mingyun at the risk of his life, it would only bring disaster to the Lin family.
"Lord Lu, Lord Lu! Please stay. I have some gold ingots here. Please accept them..." The Lin family's housekeeper smiled apologetically and took out the gold ingots from his pocket, trying to bribe those officials with the same trick as before.
Lu Mingyun took the gold ingot, weighed it, snorted, and then raised his chin to Shang Jiu who was following behind him. Shang Jiu blew the whistle twice, and soon the gate of the Lin family was broken open. Two rows of yamen officials rushed in and ran inside.
"Lord Lu! Ouch! Why are you like this!" The Lin family's butler knew that the situation was irreversible when he saw this scene. He slapped his thigh in anxiety and felt that Lu Mingyun was really unkind and unjust. He took his money and still wanted to search the Lin family!
Lu Mingyun walked into the hall and sat down. Shang Jiu followed him in. The Lin family's housekeeper who stayed outside threw a tantrum for a while, then got up and ran away. He was probably going to inform the police.
Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, Madam Lin arrived in a hurry. Her face was flushed from running, and sweat covered her forehead. She shouted breathlessly, "Master Lu, what are you doing? Even though our Lin family is just a merchant, we won't let anyone bully us like this!"
Lu Mingyun was playing with the gold ingots given to him by the Lin family's butler, and ignored Mrs. Lin's call.
"Lu Mingyun!" Madam Lin was so angry that she called out Lu Mingyun's name. "You're trespassing! I'm going to the capital to sue you!"
Lu Mingyun then looked at Madam Lin and sighed, "As expected, people get thicker-skinned when they get old. You know exactly why I came here, yet you want to go to the capital and expose this matter? Do you think you've lived enough?"
"I don't know what Lord Lu is up to. I only know that your behavior today was very inappropriate!" Old Madam Lin snorted heavily.
Lu Mingyun put the gold ingot aside and stood up. "I've been in Su County for less than a year, and everything has been going wrong for me. You may not know this, but I rarely encounter this kind of situation in the capital. I'm actually very angry."
"But everyone says that a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake, so I'm polite to every family I visit. I originally wanted to talk to your Lin family properly. What's done is done. I just need information about that ghost immortal, but you won't give me face."
Lu Mingyun frowned and walked up to Madam Lin with an impatient look on his face. "I'm really fed up. Since you won't cooperate, I'll search on my own. Don't say you have no human rights. I'm already giving you face by not using violence against you."
"You!" Madam Lin's eyes widened, her chest heaving rapidly, and she looked like she was about to faint from anger.
"Tell them that anyone who resists will be arrested. Our dungeon is empty and there is plenty of space," said Lu Mingyun.
"Yes." Shang Jiu responded and left.
At this moment, Madam Lin fainted completely, and the Lin family’s housekeeper became so anxious that he began to cry.
"I just came in to look for clues today. If you howl again, don't blame me for killing someone." Lu Mingyun said slowly as he walked back to the hall and sat down.
The Lin family's chief steward immediately shut up, his old face wrinkled and he started crying. Just imagine so many people rushing into the yard where you have stayed for so long, rummaging around and making trouble everywhere, anyone would feel scared.
But when he looked down and saw that Old Madam Lin had fainted from anger, the Lin family's chief steward wiped away his tears and wanted to ask someone to help him carry the old lady back to the house. However, when he turned around, he could not find a single servant. Those servants had already been scared away and found somewhere to hide.
So he had to grit his teeth and carry the old lady back to the house.
Another quarter of an hour later, two clerks came in, carrying Mr. Lin San's arms. "Sir, we've found Mr. Lin San!"
Lu Mingyun looked at Lin San, whose name was Lin Murong. He was confused as to why there were so many government officials in his family. Lin Murong was surprised to see Lu Mingyun and asked, "Master Lu, has the Lin family committed a crime?"
Lu Mingyun waved his hand to let the two clerks go, then looked at the chains on Lin Murong's feet, "Locked up at home?"
"......" Lin Murong smiled a little embarrassedly, "I tried to run away yesterday but was discovered by my grandmother..."
Lu Mingyun just smiled and didn't continue talking about this topic. Instead, he looked at Lin Murong and pointed to the chair opposite him and said, "Please sit down. I need to talk to you about something."
Lin Murong was slightly stunned. He really couldn't figure out what Lu Mingyun wanted to "talk" to him about by running into his house in such a high profile, but he had to find out what happened at home anyway, so Lin Murong sat down.
"Have you met the doctor who treated you?" Lu Mingyun asked.
Lin Murong quickly realized that Lu Mingyun's visit was related to his recovery, so she frowned and said, "I've only met him once. He was a white-haired old man, short and thin, but there's nothing more to say about him. He only came to our house once, and it was my grandmother who told him that."
"Has he never treated you?" Lu Mingyun asked.
"No, but he is a miracle doctor that my grandmother specially invited." Lin Murong said, "My illness has always been a concern for my grandmother. She has invited many miracle doctors to treat me, but none of them could cure me. So I didn't pay much attention to him when he came that time."
