Chapter 417 So what if you fell into a cesspool? It's not like you can't survive!
Although they are not saying they will never come back, Lin Beishan and his wife will definitely focus on Linshui Village from now on.
Therefore, the future development of the shipyard must be carefully planned, and those who stay to look after the shipyard must be trustworthy people.
Lin Beishan and his wife had no children of their own, but they did have several nephews.
But since there's still a gap, we need to weigh the pros and cons.
As for Lin Chang'er, she was naturally worried about leaving Lin Beishan and his wife alone here.
Thinking about Linshui Village, I had already made arrangements before leaving, so there was no rush.
They ate and drank with Wu Qingfeng, along with Chen Shanzhang, Sister-in-law Gu, and Sister-in-law Gu.
To avoid suspicion, they found two more children who resembled Chen Zhao and Lin Yanqing in build and, pretending to fear retaliation against them, sent them back to Linshui Village first.
The carriage traveled through half of the small county and slowly left the town. Almost everyone in the county saw it, and the news naturally reached Magistrate Yang's ears very quickly.
Magistrate Yang snorted, "That brat Yun Qing will only cause trouble if he stays even a day longer. We must get rid of him while the adults are not around."
They immediately ordered assassins to pursue them.
At this moment, the usually calm clerk stroked his short beard and expressed his doubts, "Sir, those people caused such a big commotion yesterday, threatening the young master and writing complaints for those troublemakers, so why did it suddenly stop? Instead, they sent the two who were the most vocal back home. This is clearly an attitude of trying to settle things peacefully. This is not right!"
Magistrate Yang also sensed something was amiss. "You mean, there's a trap here?"
The advisor nodded. "That's right. Yesterday, those people shouted that they wanted to write a letter to the censors to impeach you, sir, but so far, our people haven't intercepted any relevant documents."
Magistrate Yang nodded in agreement. This was indeed unreasonable, although their silence was a good thing for him.
But even a fool could tell that Yun Qing wouldn't just let such a good opportunity slip by.
Although it's unclear how much he knows about his short-lived mother's death, judging from his reaction yesterday, he's definitely convinced it's related to them.
Moreover, it seems unreasonable to send the two children away separately.
But those few troublemakers were really despicable.
They can even come up with such a despicable trick as blowing up a latrine. What if they use a mix of real and fake tactics and we get caught up in their trap, and it turns out to be those two bastards who are actually leaving?
Magistrate Yang had done too many bad things, and even if it wasn't nighttime, he was afraid of seeing ghosts.
He said, "Whether it's true or false, we must find out."
It would be best if it were real. If it were fake, that would be a bigger problem. Where did the two real ones go?
Of course, according to the logic of Magistrate Yang and his ilk, it was completely impossible for them to imagine that the real Chen Zhao and Lin Yanqing had already taken a boat north to the capital.
So they still sent people to keep an eye on the courtyard and see if Lin Chang'er and the others came into contact with those people.
However, because a group of assassins were lost last night, Magistrate Yang did not take any further rash actions.
After all, these people are hard-won, and each batch used is one less available.
The advisor naturally insisted on his opinion, "Master, I think it's best to let the Marquis take charge and keep an eye on all the checkpoints leading into the capital."
Magistrate Yang waved his hand, "You're overthinking it. What kind of place is the capital?"
“The big ones are living carefree lives while the two small ones are sent to be skinned alive. This is unacceptable.”
The clerk then advised, "Sir, be careful of what's hidden under your nose. I have a feeling that this is something those few scoundrels would do."
Magistrate Yang laughed heartily, “Impossible. You didn’t go yesterday, so you didn’t see it. That kid Yun Qing recognizes my sworn sister’s protection of him and cares about him so much. There’s absolutely no way she would let him go to the capital alone.”
"But, not to mention, the Wu family is there to help them in the capital, and there are also that old man's friends. For them, once they enter the capital, their path will be smooth sailing."
Magistrate Yang shook his head. "This is just you worrying unnecessarily. Didn't you say that no relevant documents were intercepted through any channels?"
"Where is that person? Have you seen them?"
The advisor shook his head. "No, that's not the case."
Magistrate Yang patted him on the shoulder, “Being cautious is not wrong, but being too cautious can backfire. Let’s do it this way. Go and arrange a team of men to follow them quietly and find an opportunity to take care of those two children.”
He wanted to see what kind of trouble those troublemakers could cause after Yun Qing died.
What he did in Su County was all done with a cleanup.
The thing that couldn't withstand scrutiny the most was the matter of Yun Qing's short-lived mother.
"Remember, whether alive or dead, you must see them again..."
Before he could finish speaking, the butler rushed in to report, "Master, the young master is threatening to hang himself. He says he's no longer pure and has no face to live..."
Magistrate Yang sighed, “Sheng’er, that child… He just fell into a cesspool, how could he not survive?”
Before he was bought by the Xu family in his early years, he had fought with stray dogs for food and lived in a cowshed!
This child was spoiled by his mother since he was little.
However, this is his precious grandson.
Everything they have is thanks to this grandson.
If he wants the moon, he can't have the stars; naturally, he can't be made to suffer even the slightest grievance.
Thinking this, Magistrate Yang felt even more resentful towards Lin Chang'er and the others.
He wished he could throw them all into a cesspool and drown them, but he also knew in his heart that these people were not so easy to control.
If you use your position as county magistrate to arrest people, they have no evidence. It's infuriating, but you can't do anything about the culprit.
He had no choice but to instruct the clerk, "I'll go check on Sheng'er first. You need to get things settled as soon as possible. Make sure they don't return to Linshui Village safely, otherwise it will be difficult to find another opportunity."
The advisor wanted to say a few more words of advice, but Magistrate Yang had already left in a hurry to coax his eldest grandson.
Yun Sheng attempted suicide, but Lin Chang'er, the instigator, felt no remorse whatsoever.
I didn't have a proper breakfast yesterday, so today I took a few people to eat from one side of the bridge to the other.
Everyone ate until their bellies were round, and they still had quite a lot in their hands.
After breakfast, we went to the small market near the pier.
"I wonder what the difference is between the market here and the one back home."
Lin Chang'er muttered, looking at Wu Qingfeng, "Wu Qingfeng, do you know?"
Wu Qingfeng shook his head; it was also his first time visiting Su County.
Headmaster Chen chimed in, "There must be a difference. Su County is a major port, bustling with people. The market and port generate substantial tax revenue. Do you think that skinny Magistrate Yang would be willing to give up such a lucrative opportunity?"
Lin Chang'er pouted, "Actually, that's not what I asked." She had also thought of what Chen Shanzhang said. The government would definitely have to intervene in the management of the stalls at the main dock, otherwise, with people coming and going, it would be hard to guarantee that things wouldn't get chaotic.
"Then what did you ask?" Headmaster Chen asked.
Lin Chang'er said, "I just want to see which seafood here tastes better and which has a wider variety compared to ours..."
