Without waiting for Lin Qing to think any further, the sounds of horse hooves could be heard. Before Lin Qing could go out and investigate, a few well-built constables had already entered.
The constable's face was gloomy, and he had a vicious smile on his face. He held the chain in his hand, and everything seemed to indicate something. It was as if an invisible hand were slowly tightening its grip on his throat.
”I didn't know that the several officials had arrived, but I came across some trouble, and the house was open. I don't know what business the officials have with me?” Seeing the officer who had suddenly barged into the thatched cottage, Lin Qing bent her body and calmly said. If it was the previous Lin Tian, he would have been in a state of panic by now, but from last night's dream, Lin Qing seemed to have unconsciously transformed, and even Lin Qing herself was not aware of it.
Several constables who had just arrived at the door cast their eyes on Zhang Hai, who was probably the leader of the squad.
Zhang Hai glanced at Lin Qing doubtfully. Her delicate body and bright eyes were too different from what he had expected. It was just that the person on the screen was him. How could he, a constable, decide that?
”Hmph, you are Lin Qing. Miss Xue disappeared here yesterday. Have you seen her?” Zhang Hai looked at Lin Qing with an unfriendly expression.
”I had a fever and fainted last night, I don't know …” Although Lin Qing was puzzled, she still had a bad premonition as she looked at Zhang Hai's unkind eyes.
”How dare you! How dare you say you're flustered in front of the eunuch! Take him down!” Before Lin Qing could finish, Zhang Hai had already let out a loud shout.
Seeing this, Lin Qing's complexion slightly changed. She seemed to have thought of something, and before she could make a move, several thick chains had already locked onto her.
”I really don't know what crime I have committed. May I ask for Your Highness to make it clear that you are not afraid of the law if you act in such a hasty manner?” Although Lin Qing felt that the situation wasn't good, she still couldn't figure out what was going on and could only speak up.
”Miss Xue Xian went missing near you yesterday, and you're holding Miss Xue Xian's jade pendant. You don't know anything, so you're obviously the person in charge of this matter.” Zhang Hai shouted loudly, as if he was telling the truth.
Lin Qing was slightly stunned. She couldn't help but look at the jade pendant in her hand. Everything seemed to be fated to be the same.
Lin Qing felt that the constable was so rude as to use the chain to drag her out of the room. Naturally, she was unwilling to do so.
”Do you guys have any laws? You guys …” Lin Qing yelled out, trying to prove her innocence.
However, before Lin Qing could finish her sentence, a fishy smell filled his nose. Zhang Hai, on the other hand, had stuffed a stinky sock into his mouth before he could finish his sentence?
A fishy stench almost caused Lin Qing to faint. Lin Qing could no longer understand how foolish Zhang Hai's actions had been. Furthermore, from last night's dream, Lin Qing's mind was no longer the same as the innocent young man's. She already understood what was going to happen to her.
Lin Qing clenched her fist as she roared in her heart. She struggled with her body, but the chain that held her back continued to emit a deafening sound.
”Take him away!” Zhang Hai raised his hand and told the policemen.
”Yes, boss!” Several officers answered with respect. They then pulled Lin Qing by the chain and roughly pushed her towards the magistrate.
He kept pushing and shoving, and during this period of time, he even received a few whips without reason. A long whip mark appeared on Lin Qing's face, causing her to appear somewhat bedraggled.
Half a day later, Lin Qing was finally led out of the county magistrate court by a constable led by Zhang Hai.
”Mirror Public Suspended.” These four words were written in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner on the county's plaque, seeming to ridicule something.
