Chapter 75 The three roads given by the young city master
After a while, a handsome young man walked over with an old servant in a swaggering manner, followed closely by the two cell heads on duty from the Civil Affairs Department.
"Huh? Is it so lively? It seems Mr. Lin is not lonely here!" Before anyone arrived, the young master's voice came over.
Everyone in the escort agency and Qu Wuming couldn't help but frown when they heard this.
Lin Yuan and others frowned because the speaker was none other than Bai Yunrui, the young master of Hulan City's palace.
And Qu Wuming frowned, not because he felt the aura of a monk on the old man next to Bai Yunrui - although he looked like a servant in his attire, but he had a cultivation level in the middle stage of Nascent Soul - but on the young master.
Special smell.
Seeing Bai Yunrui coming over, Lin Wanqing hurriedly stepped aside and pushed him aside. Lin Yuan crossed the prison fence and clasped his fists and said, "It turns out to be the young master of the palace. I wonder why the young master of the palace condescends to come to this prison."
"Haha, of course I'm here to see Mr. Lin." Bai Yunrui chuckled, his eyes swept over everyone, and after lingering on Lin Wanqing's face and body for a moment, he continued, "Mr. Lin has been here for three days. I don't know what to do about it.
Have you thought clearly about how to pay for the loss of a bodyguard?"
"Young Master, we are all locked up here. We have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. Even if we want to raise money, there is no way!" Lin Yuan said, "Why don't you ask the Young Master to say hello to the Civil Affairs Department?
, it is better to let us go back to raise money or find ways to recover the lost things than to waste our time here."
"I know that not everyone in the Fuwei Escort Agency has been imprisoned by the Civil Affairs Department, right?" Bai Yunrui glanced at Lin Wanqing intentionally or unintentionally, and then said, "I had an agreement before when I hired the escort, this escort
The matter is so important that there must be no mistakes, so we paid a lot of money to escort the escorts. But what about you, Mr. Lin, the escort chief? You only entrusted the second young master and four escorts to deliver the escorts. Is this how your Fuwei Escort Agency escorts the heavy escorts?"
Lin Yuan said in a deep voice: "What the young master said is wrong. Not all secret escorts must have a large number of people to be foolproof. The number of escorts and the level of martial arts should match the route of the escort and the condition of the things to be escorted.
I have told the Young Mansion Master before that the content of this secret escort and the route to be taken are top secrets in our Fuwei Escort Bureau, and only my father and son know about it. When we walked to the mountain road, it was obvious that someone was waiting there.
, the action is to kill people and seize darts. If the dog is not lucky, there is no way to escape!"
Bai Yunrui's eyes showed a hint of gloom and sternness, and he said coldly: "In this way, Mr. Lin, the escort leader, is hinting that it was my city lord's palace that had done something to the escort, so that the route of the escort was exposed before he was captured.
Already?"
"Lin didn't dare." Lin Yuan clasped his fists and said, "Lin was just talking about the matter. When Quanzi was knocked down the cliff, he did see that the person who took the dart jumped out of the cliff. That is not what ordinary warriors can do.
Arrived."
"What? Even if the escort was taken away by a monk, doesn't it count as lost?" Bai Yunrui asked.
Lin Wanqing, who had already heard that she was furious, couldn't help but said: "Young Master, what do you want to do here today? Why don't you say it clearly!"
"Haha, Lin Wanqing, right?" Bai Yunrui smiled when he heard this and said, "Wouldn't it save trouble if someone asked this already?"
Lin Yuan's heart moved, and his eyes looking at Bai Yunrui became a little colder.
Bai Yunrui didn't pay attention to the looks of everyone in the Lin family, and continued: "I'm here today to talk to you about the city lord's palace's solution to the problem of the missing secret dart from the Fuwei Escort Agency."
"First, if the Fuwei Escort Agency finds the missing secret escort within ten days, the City Lord's Mansion can give up the claim and forget about it."
"Second, if Fuwei Escort believes that it cannot find the lost property and pays compensation within ten days as agreed, the City Lord's Palace will no longer pursue the matter."
"Third, if Fuwei Escort Agency can't do the above two, hey, marry Miss Lin Wanqing to my city lord's palace and let the matter of losing the escort go."
"What?!" Lin Yuan and others were shocked when they heard this. It was originally a matter of throwing darts, but why did it involve Lin Wanqing?
Lin Wanqing was also stunned for a moment, and then her eyebrows stood up in anger. She was about to speak angrily, but Qu Wuming quietly grabbed her arm.
Lin Wanqing turned her head and saw that Qu Wuming shook his head at her. There seemed to be a deep meaning in his eyes, so she had no choice but to angrily hold back and say nothing.
At this time, I heard Lin Yuan say: "What the Young Palace Master just said, did the Palace Master mean it?"
"Yes." Bai Yunrui nodded.
"In that case, can we discuss it?" Lin Yuan said.
"Yes. However, my time is limited, and I can only wait for you for one day. I will come back tomorrow at this time, and I hope Mr. Lin can give me a confirmation, hahaha..." After that, Baiyun
Rui Dui glanced at Lin Wanqing again, turned around and walked away with his servant.
"Hmph!" After Bai Yunrui and others left, Lin Yuan punched the prison fence hard, punching a fist mark on the iron fence as thick as his wrist, and his hands suddenly became
Dripping with blood.
"Dad!" Lin Fengqing and Lin Boqing hurriedly stepped forward to bandage him, but were pushed aside by Lin Yuan.
"It's all my fault that I was confused and took the order from the City Lord's Mansion." Lin Yuan said in a deep voice, "Now I realize that maybe this was a trap from the City Lord's Mansion. Wanqing, after you leave later, go home and clean up.
Just leave Hulan City as soon as possible. The further you go, the better! It’s no longer safe for you here! Brother Qu, Lin knows that what he said at this time is really superficial, but he still hopes that Brother Qu
If I can help my little girl again, if I can escort her out of Hulan City, Lin is willing to hand over all his wealth to Brother Qu!"
Lin Wanqing said: "Dad, why do you want me to leave? You are all here, I am not going anywhere! Brother Qu and I will definitely find the lost dart!"
"Qing'er, can't you see it yet? The young master of the palace is known as a romantic playboy. This time he went to great lengths to set up this situation, probably because of you." Lin Yuan sighed.
"For me?" Lin Wanqing asked in confusion, "Before today, I had never met him. How could he plan to frame Fuwei Escort Agency for my sake?"
Lin Fengqing also wondered at the side: "Yes, dad, if the city lord's palace intends to marry our family, they can ask the matchmaker to come to the house to discuss the matter. Why not do it this week?"
Lin Yuan shook his head and said: "But..."
"I think Mr. Lin's suspicion is right." Qu Wuming suddenly said.
"Brother Qu thinks so too?" Lin Yuan was startled when he heard this and asked hurriedly.
"Just now I saw the way the young master of the palace looked at Miss Lin. Although it was lustful, it was not innocent. It was more like he was looking at something." Qu Wuming replied, "Besides, the aura on his body is also a little bit...
Weird. I seemed to detect some very familiar aura on him, but I couldn't distinguish it for the moment."
"What does Brother Qu mean?" Lin Yuan was a little confused.
"What I mean is that no matter what his intentions are, you should still find a way out first. I can help you investigate other things slowly." Qu Wuming smiled slightly and did not explain.
"But..." Lin Yuan sighed, "The compensation for the lost escort is five hundred taels of gold! In addition to the pensions of the four escorts, even if the Fuwei Escort Agency is sold, it won't be enough..."
"It's just some yellow and white things. Qu has saved some and can use them for emergencies." Qu Wuming said.
"Brother Qu?!" Lin Wanqing shook her head and said, "Brother Qu, how can we use your money..."
"To me, gold and silver are nothing more than external possessions. Using them to save people is considered the right way, so why not?" Qu Wuming said, "It's not like you don't know my identity?"
"That's right..." Lin Wanqing's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she turned to Lin Yuan and said, "Dad, Brother Qu is a cultivator, and his cultivation level is quite high!"
"Brother Qu is a Taoist?"
"Haha, it's not trivial, it's not trivial." Qu Wuming waved his hands and said with a smile, "Miss Lin was eager to save me before, and her master is an old acquaintance of mine. The Lin family and I are destined and kind, and this is one of them. And this
City Lord's Mansion, haha, spending so much thought on a bodyguard agency must have its unspeakable purpose, which makes me very interested. This is the second reason. For these two reasons, I, Qu, really want to go through this muddy water.
Take a trip..."

After Lin Yuan and others were taken out of the prison by Qu Wuming and Lin Wanqing, until they tore off the seal on the door of Fuwei Escort Agency and returned to their home, they were still a little dizzy, as if they were in a dream.
All the expenses claimed by the Young Palace Master and the escort's family were borne by Qu Wuming and handed over to the Civil Affairs Department of the City Lord's Palace. The Civil Affairs Department had no choice but to drop the case and release everyone according to the rules, while secretly sending someone to report the incident to the Young Palace Master.
thing.
"What?! They paid all the compensation?!" Bai Yunrui couldn't help being shocked when he heard the news.
"Yes. Five hundred taels of gold, exactly." The person in charge of the Civil Affairs Department replied.
"..." Bai Yunrui frowned, remained silent for a moment and waved his hand, "I understand, you go first!"
"yes!"
After the people from the Civil Affairs Department left, Bai Yunrui hurriedly got up and went straight to the city lord's office, telling his mother, the lord of Hulan City Baichuan Ling, the news.
"How could this happen?" Shirakawa Ling put down her official duties and looked at her only son and said, "Have we not carefully investigated before that Fuwei Escort Agency cannot have the strength to compensate? Has the Civil Affairs Department explained that they will compensate?
Where does the gold come from?”
"They said they were escorted over by people from the escort agency. They just said they were the savings from previous years packed in the bottom of the box." Bai Yunrui replied.
"Haha, can you believe these words?" Baichuan Ling stood up and walked to Bai Yunrui, raised her hand to tidy up his clothes that were not suitable enough, and then said, "Let Bai Fu go find out who Fuwei Escort Agency has been with recently.
After dealing with people, especially check to see if there are any ascetics among them."
"yes."
"In addition, regardless of whether there are monks involved or not, some things should be prepared. Send someone to send a message to the Holy Hand Medical Immortal, telling him that he can prepare for the next things, and asking him to hurry up and come over."
"Yes!" Bai Yunrui agreed and stepped out respectfully, the look on his face became a little excited...
