Shuiyun County.
Inside and outside the county town, due to the darkening sky.
The city gates have been closed one after another.
The gate of the county government office is also ready to be closed thanks to the busy work of several government officials.
"Wait!"
At this time.
A guard wearing armor hurried forward, holding the scabbard in his hand and gently pressing it against the door.
"Who are you?"
The yamen servant saw a group of people behind him and followed him closely. They were also all wearing armor.
Therefore, these government servants who usually show off their power did not have an attack.
In any case, they are all on duty. If there is a conflict and both parties do not know the details, they will not dare to act rashly.
"I am the bodyguard of Duke Tao's mansion! I enjoy the rank of sixth-grade sword-carrying bodyguard of Daxia!"
As the man spoke, he showed off his badge.
When several government officials saw this, their attitudes immediately changed.
"It turns out they are people from the Kuomintang and Communist government. May I ask why you are here?"
Upon seeing this, a government official hurriedly stepped forward and asked respectfully.
"We have a brother who was traveling with us and was taken away by you soldiers on the road. We need to bring him out!"
After hearing what the officer said, the guard did not hide anything and directly explained his purpose.
"This...this...we have to report this to the master, please wait a moment."
After hearing what the guard said, the officer looked embarrassed and said hurriedly.
"Go! Tell your master clearly that if he doesn't let this man go, he will be killed!"
The guard waved his hand and said in a deep voice to the Yamen servant.
"Yes, yes, yes... Little one, go right now!"
The officer respectfully accepted the order and then hurriedly left.
After the guard watched the government servant leave, he turned to look at another guard with delicate skin.
Looking carefully, she is Tao Shihan.
At this time, she had learned to be smart and dressed up as a woman disguised as a man.
"If he doesn't let me go later, show him my grandfather's warrant!"
Tao Shihan said, and then took out the warrant given to him by Tao Guogong from his waist.
"Miss, this is unnecessary. Qu Yin is just a seventh-grade county magistrate, and I am a sixth-grade guard with a sword. If he doesn't respect me, then I'll take care of him!"
The guard sneered and did not take Tao Shihan's warrant.
"Okay, then it's up to you later!"
Tao Shihan nodded slightly, then looked towards the county government office with his eyes.
At this time in the county government office, Qu Yin was in the backyard, preparing to leave.
It was already dark after all.
"master!"
At this moment, the government servant in front of the door rushed over and shouted hurriedly.
"What's going on? You're in such a panic!"
Qu Yin looked at the yamen servants who came in a hurry, frowned and scolded him.
"Sir, Tao Guogong's guards are here. They said that we have detained his brother and they are here to ask for someone to come to us!"
The yamen servant gasped and explained to Qu Yin word for word.
"What? Tao Guogong?"
Qu Yin frowned when he heard this.
"Master, it seems that the girl is here to save people."
The master behind him quickly figured out who the initiator of this incident was after hearing what the yamen servant said.
"That girl, isn't she at odds with Prince Lin? Why would she help him?"
Qu Yin shook his head and frowned.
"It's hard to say, but in the final analysis, they will be husband and wife in the future, so it is reasonable to help them."
The master smiled slightly and started to analyze.
"Then tell me, what should we do? We just arrested the person, we can't just let him go!"
Qu Yin obviously didn't want to let him go. After hearing what the master said, he frowned and looked at the master.
"Sir, our goal has been achieved. It doesn't matter whether we let him go or not. In my humble opinion, instead of doing this, we might as well give him to Tao Guogong's granddaughter to save face."
The master stroked his beard lightly, frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then showed a nonchalant look.
"Then...it's up to you to let him go?"
Qu Yin was not willing to accept it, but he felt that what the master said was reasonable.
Just sell a favor.
"Not bad! Let it go!"
The master nodded, and then continued: "Master, let's sell this favor! We will definitely make a profit!"
"Okay, you guys, go tell them that this is all a misunderstanding. If you want someone, just take them over and let them go!"
After Qu Yin was sure, he rushed to several government officials and gave the order in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir!"
When the officer heard this, he quickly wiped his sweat, agreed, and left in a hurry.
When he rushed back to the door, he saw several people standing under the moonlight.
"Brothers, my master doesn't know about this..." The yamen servant ran out of breath and coughed repeatedly.
"How can he unjustly accuse a good person without knowing it? What do you mean? You took my brother and thought I was easy to bully!"
When the guard heard what the officer said, he immediately became anxious and said through gritted teeth: "Open the door! I want to see what your master means."
"Sir, please don't misunderstand. My master said that he didn't know anything about it. This is all a misunderstanding! I asked the villain to take you to release the person!"
After the officer recovered, he had the strength to finish his sentence.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it. Lead the way!"
After hearing what the officer said, the guard snorted coldly and motioned for him to lead the way.
"Okay, okay, gentlemen, please follow me."
Upon hearing this, the yamen servant hurriedly agreed respectfully.
When Tao Shihan saw this, the stone in his heart fell.
She originally thought that if that didn't work, she would reveal her identity and help Wang Lin escape.
He was caught because of himself, and no matter what, he had to rescue him.
You can never owe him this favor.
Tao Shihan was thinking as she followed the crowd.
Unknowingly, he followed a few people and arrived in front of the cell door.
"You guys, bring out the man who was escorted in just now."
The yamen servant stood in front of the door and gave instructions to several jailers.
"Brother Wang, we just arrested dozens of people. That's the one you're talking about!"
A jailer asked with a grimace after hearing what the yamen officer said.
"That...that..."
After listening to the jailer's words, the yamen officer turned to look at the few people.
"Wang Lin!"
Tao Shihan glanced at the Yamen servant and said in a deep voice.
"Did you hear that? Go in, find this person, and bring him out to me!"
The yamen officer smiled awkwardly at Tao Shihan, then turned to look at the jailer and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, little one, go right now!"
The jailer respectfully accepted the order and then hurried into the cell.
After he rushed in, he carried a lantern and walked in while shouting: "Where is Wang Lin!"
"Are you still alive, Wang Lin?"
"I heard a promise!"
Just like that, the jailer began to search in the noisy cell.
"Wang Lin!"
Finally, he was almost at the end, and he felt like smoke was rising from his throat.
"exist!"
At this point, the jailer finally heard the response.
