The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 77 1 glass of wine

Seeing that a mere token could cause the guards and the commander's men to flee, Lin Yan knew that this man was of high status.

Judging from his guard attire, he must have a powerful master.

Regardless of who's behind him, he's helped me out, so I should thank him.

Lin Yan walked up to Cheng Lin with a smile on her face and exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! It's you, big brother! I saw you buying wine yesterday!"

"Thank you so much! Otherwise, with so many of them bullying my brother and me, I wouldn't know what to do!"

Cheng Lin: (?_?).

I don't believe you! You're talking like you weren't the one who slapped someone just now.

Despite a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Cheng Lin's expression remained unchanged as he coldly replied, "It was the master's order."

Lin Yan blinked: "Then who is your master? I must thank him properly!"

Cheng Lin coldly refused: "The master will not see me!" After saying that, he turned around and went back to the restaurant.

"Tsk, what a poker face."

Lin Yan knew that the owner of the restaurant must also be at Yunwei Restaurant when she saw him enter.

She looked up at the private room on the second floor. There had just been a commotion there, and most of the windows were open, with some people craning their necks to watch the excitement and chatting animatedly.

Lin Yan looked through the windows one by one, and suddenly her gaze stopped on a half-open window. Through the crack in the window, she could see the shoulder of a person dressed in a black brocade robe, but she could not see their face.

Whether it was intuition or judgment, Lin Yan felt that this was the person who had helped her.

The person refused to meet, presumably not expecting gratitude, but as the beneficiary, I should at least express my appreciation.

Lin Yan took a cup from the stall, poured herself a glass of wine, raised it in the direction of the second floor, and drank it.

Turning to Lin Yu, she said, "Let's not sell today. Let's pack our things and go back to the inn to rest."

"Okay." Having just experienced an accident, Lin Yu was also feeling unwell and had no mood to stand here and be instructed by others.

The crowd watching from the second floor stirred again when they saw Lin Yan still toasting in their direction, asking, "Why is this young lady still toasting in their direction?"

Inside the room, Zhao Yuncheng saw Lin Yan raise a glass of wine in his direction, chuckled, rubbed the wine glass beside him, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it.

Turning her head, she saw Cheng Lin coming up and noticed his somewhat subtle expression. She raised an eyebrow and said, "You're even making an expression. Looks like you were quite frightened!"

Hearing his master tease him, Cheng Lin twitched his lips. "That girl's kung fu is pretty good."

Zhao Yuncheng chuckled softly, a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Indeed, your handwriting reflects your personality!"

Cheng Lin was puzzled, not knowing what his master was talking about, but he didn't ask.

His master was also very taciturn. When Mu Yu was not around, he and his master would barely exchange two words a day.

…………

On the way, Lin Yu asked Lin Yan, "Sister, who are the people who helped us?"

"I don't know. I was behind that person and didn't see the words on the jade tablet. But judging from what he and the guards were saying, they should be members of the royal family..."

As Lin Yan was speaking, she suddenly remembered what Chen Feng had said when she was on the mountain: that the Seventh Prince had been in Yun'an Prefecture to supervise the payment of tribute from Daye.

"Could he be the seventh prince with the blood of the Great Ye? I wonder what he's doing in Yun'an at this time." Lin Yan murmured softly.

"What? Who is it?" Lin Yu didn't hear Lin Yan's words clearly.

"It's nothing, let's go back!"

"Okay." Lin Yu nodded.

After walking for a while, Lin Yu thought about what had happened today. A subordinate of a commander was able to lord it over all the merchants and bully them at will.

This was nothing like the way of being an official that the teacher had described, but he remained determined and said, "I must study hard so that no one can bully us in the future!"

“Okay! From now on, A-Yu will be in charge of being an official, and I will be in charge of doing business. You will protect my sister! I will open shops all over Daliang.” Lin Yan was looking forward to the future without spoiling the mood.

Lin Yan was also worried that today's events would be a blow to Lin Yu. After all, his ideal official was still the kind of person who governed for the people as described in books. Seeing the behavior of these people today, he was afraid he would be disappointed.

"Yes! I will definitely protect my sister!" Lin Yu nodded even more firmly after receiving affirmation.

The siblings had no idea that they would one day become a cunning businessman and a treacherous prime minister.

…………

At this time, in the Yun'an Prefecture government office.

The head constable is reporting to his superiors today.

“Your Excellency, I saw that the guard was holding a jade token, which did indeed have the character ‘Zhao’ on it, but I don’t know which one of them has come to Yun’an.”

A middle-aged man with a square face and broad forehead sat at the desk. After listening to his subordinate's report, he pondered for a moment and said:

"A few days ago, news came from the capital that the Seventh Prince had been ordered to come to Yun'an to supervise the collection of tribute from Daye, but he has not yet informed the government office."

"That person is the Seventh Prince's subordinate?!"

"It should be. In a frontier place like Yun'an, those royal families wouldn't come here unless there's a reason."

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, recalling that he hadn't done anything too outrageous that day. Seeing that things were going badly, he led his men away and said with relief, "Luckily, we didn't clash with them today, otherwise we would have offended the prince."

"Should we go and greet His Highness the Prince?"

The prefect glanced at him, then breathed a sigh of relief and said deftly, "I'm not going!"

The guard asked in confusion, "Aren't you going?"

"The Seventh Prince arrived in Yun'an without informing the government office, precisely because he didn't want me to know his whereabouts. Why should I rush to inform him? Besides..."

"Besides?"

The Prefect did not answer his subordinate's question, but instead kept quiet. The Seventh Prince's identity was sensitive, and he could not get too close, otherwise he might offend other princes. However, royal matters should not be discussed casually.

Seeing that the governor did not answer, the subordinate dared not ask further, and then asked:

"Everyone in the Commander's Mansion got into trouble today. Are those two siblings someone the Seventh Prince is protecting?"

When the Prefect heard him say that, he scoffed sarcastically, "Or maybe he just wanted to teach Jin Shengwang a lesson... that bastard, like father, like son, the whole prefecture is full of bad people."

The Prefect of Yun'an was clearly very dissatisfied with the behavior of the people in the Commander's Office. "He is the Commander of Yun'an, who holds a lot of troops. I am the Prefect of Yun'an, so naturally I have to be subservient to him and dare not offend him. Otherwise, I would have dealt with his arrogant subordinates long ago."

"Now that the Seventh Prince is willing to step forward and teach them a lesson, it is a blessing for the people of Yun'an."

The Prefect of Yun'an sighed and stared blankly ahead.

His heart was filled with growing anxiety. The Seventh Prince had been sent down, which meant that the Emperor had also discovered Da Ye's intentions. The situation in Yun'an was becoming increasingly tense, and Jin Shengwang was also unreliable. Who knew what would happen when war broke out? He himself did not know how long he could remain the Prefect.
