Chapter 586: Master Lin of Linzhou Prefecture
"Sir, this is the young master of the Lin family in Linzhou Prefecture. He wants to stay in a room. I wonder if you can make an exception for him?" The shopkeeper said, bending down.
"We have a lot of people and have booked the inn. It would be better for Mr. Lin to leave. There are no rooms available in the inn." Xingchen said directly.
"My son is from a century-old family in Linzhou Prefecture. The entire Linzhou Prefecture is governed by the Lin family. If you offend the Lin family, you will be punished..." said the servant behind Master Lin.
When Xingchen and the others heard the servant's tone, they all looked at him with coldness.
"Aping, stop talking nonsense and get out of here." Master Lin immediately scolded.
"Son."
"Greetings, Madam and gentlemen. I am an ignorant servant. I can pay double the money. Please give me a room. I just need some hot water. I promise not to leave the room and disturb you." Master Lin bowed to Su Yueyao and said.
"No, we don't lack money." Xingchen said directly with some impatience.
Master Lin saw that this young man showed no mercy to him. Looking at his stunning appearance and demeanor, he couldn't guess his identity for a moment. So he decided to just continue on his way back!
Just as he was about to bow and leave, he saw a person at the side and his eyes lit up. He knew who this lady was.
"Your humble servant greets Inspector Pu."
Pu An's face froze. This person knew him? How come he had no impression of him at all?
"you know me?"
"I am the new deputy governor of Linzhou Prefecture, who took office this year. My father is the prefect of Linzhou Prefecture. You came to inspect Linzhou Prefecture a year ago, and I met you once."
Urayasu: "..."
"Inspector Pu's reason for coming here is....Are you not marrying Fengdu..."
"Shopkeeper, we know this Master Lin. Please clear out a room on the first floor for him. All of you leave!" Xingchen interrupted Master Lin and said to the shopkeeper beside him.
"Okay, okay, I'll go down right away." The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Xingchen's words and immediately went to make arrangements. These two groups of people were not people he could afford to mess with.
"Mr. Lin, we are just passing by here on our way. Please keep our identities confidential." Pu An said.
He could feel the gazes of Xingchen and his wife and the others on him. This was a sudden disaster. Who knew that this person would know him and be so familiar with him? He should have given them a hard time when he inspected Linzhou Prefecture the year before last.
"Of course I will keep it a secret. I admire Miss Su's talent and knowledge. I wonder if Miss Su is free to visit my home in Linzhou Prefecture tomorrow..."
"There's no need to be a guest. I'm not revealing my identity on this trip just to get back to Fengdu as soon as possible. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lin." Su Yueyao interrupted him.
She had a very bad feeling. Looking through the curtain, she could vaguely see that Master Lin was tall and straight, wearing a striking red robe. From his attire, one could infer that Master Lin must be a man with an outspoken personality who did not conceal himself.
The post of Tongzhi is a fifth-rank official post, assisting the prefect in handling affairs within the prefecture. Seeing that he is not very old, and to be able to become Tongzhi, he must have some outstanding qualities. She doesn't want to get involved with him.
"Ms. Su is not in a hurry to travel now. There are many in Linzhou Prefecture..."
"Mr. Lin, there is no need to say anything more. I don't want to go. I've been traveling all day and I need to rest. Pu An, please entertain Mr. Lin!" Su Yueyao didn't want to say anything more and just stood up and said.
She would soon arrive in Fengdu and didn't want to attract any more romantic interests.
"Good wife."
Xingchen helped Su Yueyao upstairs.
When Su Yueyao turned around and left, the curtain was blown open slightly, and Master Lin was able to see Su Yueyao's face clearly from his angle.
Sun Yibai felt his gaze and took a big step sideways to block his view.
Xu Minghe nodded to Mr. Lin and followed Su Yueyao.
Pu An looked deeply at Master Lin.
"Mr. Lin, don't have any thoughts about my wife. She doesn't want to marry again now, and with her power, there is no benefit for the Lin family to offend her."
"Inspector Pu is overthinking. I just admire Miss Su's talent and want to do my best to be a good host. If Miss Su doesn't want to go, I can't force her, right?"
"Mr. Lin better keep his word, otherwise we are not afraid of your Lin family."
"Mr. Lin, you should go to bed early!" Pu An said, then got up and left.
Master Lin looked at Pu An's departing figure, his lips curled slightly, it was quite interesting! He wanted to see if Su Yueyao would go to Linzhou Prefecture tomorrow.
Urayasu entered the room and saw everyone else looking at him.
"My dear wife, I didn't know he would recognize me. It's my fault that I didn't recognize him in advance." Pu An walked up to Su Yueyao and said.
"It's not your fault. What's the situation with the Lin family? I always feel that this person is not simple." Su Yueyao said speechlessly.
"My wife's Lin family can be said to be the heaven of Linzhou Prefecture, but the performance and tax revenue are very good every year, and there has never been any mistakes. Linzhou Prefecture was originally just a county town, and most of the people in the county town are surnamed Lin."
"The previous county magistrates of the Lin family made many policies that benefited the people, which attracted many foreign merchants. Gradually, the population grew, and finally a prefecture was formed. The Lin family has always controlled Linzhou Prefecture."
"At least four or five hundred years!" said Urayasu.
"Your Majesty, are you going to give up power like this?"
"The garrison in Linzhou Prefecture was sent by His Majesty, and there has always been peace. The key is the decrees implemented by His Majesty. Linzhou Prefecture has done the best, and it also pays a lot of taxes every year."
"When I went to inspect the area two years ago, I couldn't find any mistakes or omissions."
"..."
After hearing this, Su Yueyao asked directly, "Is Mr. Lin married?"
"I don't know about my wife. When I was on patrol, I met many officials. I think he didn't have an official position at that time, or his position was too low, so I don't remember him." Pu An said.
He used to inspect three or four state capitals and the counties under them every year, and he came into contact with so many officials that he could only remember those with problems, and he couldn't remember all of them.
