”I asked you all to bring someone back to the residence. Where is he?!”

Just as the servants were hesitating on whether they should make a move, they heard a hoarse voice that sounded like it was caused by a cry.

When Su Mu looked over, he discovered that there was a middle-aged man with large ears and a useless head driving towards them. This middle-aged man was none other than the Great Honored Warrior Wu mentioned by the old woman, Wu Ji.

A County Magistrate of Ge, who was dressed in official uniform, followed behind him. The County Magistrate's face was filled with anger as he stared at Su Moyu and the others. However, when his gaze landed on Lin Yi, his legs gave way and he suddenly knelt down.

”Hall...” ”The palace …” County Magistrate Ge's eyes widened in fear as he spoke.

So it turned out that this Xinzhi County in Wu City was closer to the capital. When the Crown Prince Lin Yi ascended the throne, he was fortunate enough to go to the capital and attend the inauguration ceremony. From then on, he had already remembered this prince with extraordinary bearing. He never expected that he would come to Wu City and continue his journey.

But before he could say the title of County Official Ge, Lin Yi lightly said, ”This Young Master is indeed the only son of the Minister of Rites. It's good that you know him, this matter is not suitable for others to know.”

Su Mu, who was pointed at by him, looked at Lin Yi in confusion. He didn't know why he would create such a fake identity for her.

Lin Yi understood, and whispered in her ear, ”Your position is too high, making it easier for you to obtain evidence.”

In reality, he felt that Su Mu's body was too weak and his age was too young. If he had an identity, no one would dare to touch him and it would be easier to convince them.

When Su Mu heard this, he nodded his head and did not deny it.

County Magistrate Ge, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed respectfully towards Su Mu again. Only then did he slowly rise with a smile.

He humbly asked Lin Yi's group of four, ”May I know what distinguished guests are here for? Can this official help? ”

”I can't say it's a noble deed. It's just that when I met this great official on the way and tried to lynch him, I saw injustice when I arrested him.” Su Mu said.

Upon hearing that, Official Wu immediately shouted like a rooster, ”Who dares to abuse the lynching method! ”Where did all of you come from? How dare you talk to me like that?”

”Shut your mouth. This is a noble from the capital. How dare you speak so arrogantly!” Prefecture Overseer Ge urgently pulled Wu Ji down and knelt on the ground.

It seemed that this County Official Ge really did have good relations with Sir He Wu. He didn't forget to pull his brother along even at this time in order to avoid offending his benefactor.

When Official Wu heard that it was from the capital, he instantly cried, ”Old men, please redress my grievances! My son died such a miserable death! ”

When Su Mu heard this, he looked at Wang Yu beside him and the doubt in his heart gradually grew. It seemed that this Official Wu really had a grievance in his heart. Otherwise, why would a man who was usually domineering suffer like this? Judging by his white clothes, he must have been in the state where someone from his family passed away.

”Young master, you're tired. Let's go back to your residence first.” Lin Yi said again.

The others didn't have any reaction when they heard this, but Bao Fusheng secretly asked, ”You're not staying in the yamen anymore?”

”He is wearing white. Maybe the child has just passed away. Maybe he is staying in his house for you to investigate.” Lin Yi explained in an indifferent tone.

At the Wu residence.
