Lin Shuo rushed back from outside after receiving the news. His injuries had healed a lot and he could walk briskly without anyone's support.

It was not until Lin Yinan brought Yun Shijiu and Yun Junding to Guo Xun for treatment that Lin Shuo learned that his mother and daughter-in-law had been kidnapped.

Now that he saw that they were all fine, he felt relieved, "Mom, why are you here?"

"We are going back to Longtan and will come to see you on the way." said Old Mrs. Zhao.

Zhang looked him up and down excitedly, "How are you injured?"

"Let mother see."

As Mrs. Zhao spoke, she was about to pull his clothes, but Lin Shuo hurriedly dodged.

Although everyone was shirtless in the fields, this was at the gate of the village and there were so many people watching.

"Mom, wife, you guys go back and rest first, I'll settle these people down first."

"Uncle, grandma and aunt haven't seen you for a long time. You go back and talk to them. Leave this to me." Lin Yiheng said.

Old Madam Zhao looked at the people behind her led by Yun Xiaobei and asked, "Will this delay your uncle's work?"

"Grandma, Mom, you guys go ahead. My brother and I will stay here to take care of it." Lin Yinan saw what she was thinking and said considerately.

They have always respected Lin Yinan's arrangements. After hearing what she said, Lin Shuo led Old Lady Zhao and Zhang back to the courtyard where they lived.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao and the others left, Lin Yiheng and Chen Shi went to get the registration booklet and writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.

Yun Xiaobei walked forward and saluted Lin Yinan, "Meet the Madam!"

"No need to be so polite. How many people did you bring with you this time?"

"Brother Yun Si bought more than 70 people, all of whom were young and strong people who knew how to farm." Yun Xiaobei said as he took out a thick stack of papers from his arms, "These are their indentures."

Lin Yinan took the indentures and glanced at the group of people he brought with him.

"You are really capable. You can buy so many young and strong men." She nodded approvingly. It must be said that the secret guards trained by the Yun family are really worth ten.

Yun Xiaobei scratched his head embarrassedly after being praised, and a simple smile appeared on his young face.

"Brother Yun is familiar with the human traffickers and can get first-hand information from them. These people have just been sent here from other places."

Lin Yinan looked carefully and found that more than half of them were young women ranging from teenagers to thirty-year-olds.

Thinking about the fact that all the more than 400 secret guards were still single, she quickly guessed Yun Si's plan.

"Does Yun Si have someone he likes? Who is he close to in Nanzhou Prefecture?" Lin Yinan looked at the indenture contract in his hand and pretended to be nonchalant.

Yun Xiaobei was completely defenseless towards Lin Yinan and started talking immediately.

"There's only Liu Sisi and no one else?"

Lin Yinan took out a meat pie made by Qianxia and handed it to him, "Who is Sisi?"

"Liu Sisi is the top singing girl in Haitang Pavilion."

Yun Xiaobei took it and opened the cloth bag. The aroma of the meat patty mixed with wild onions rushed into his nose. He opened his mouth wide and took a big bite.

It's really delicious!

While chewing the delicious meat pie, Yun Xiaobei realized that he had said something he shouldn't have, and his face immediately fell.

"Ma'am, please don't tell the master."

"I know it well."

Lin Yinan patted his shoulder.

Lin Yiheng, Chen Shi and the secret guards had already carried the table out, so she walked towards the direction where the two men were working.

Yun Xiaobei swallowed the meat pie in two bites and followed closely behind Lin Yinan.

"Madam, Yu Shicheng's two personal servants are here too. Do you want to meet them?"

Lin Yinan paused and pointed to the room not far away where Yun Mo worked. "Take them to that room to rest for a while. I'll go over after I finish what I'm doing."

"Hey! I'm going right away."

Afraid that she would ask more questions and he couldn't control his mouth, Yun Xiaobei ran to the back of the team.

Seeing how scared he was, Lin Yinan's lips curled slightly, and there was a smile on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.

She walked up to Lin Yiheng and handed him the indenture contract given by Yun Xiaobei.

"After registration, you will be accommodated and eat together with the people you bought in Huaizhou City. Chen Shi knows where to live. When the time comes, let him take people there and ask more secret guards to follow."

"Don't worry, ma'am. I will definitely see to it." Chen Shi looked resolute and determined.

"Chen Shi has grown up, and he is becoming more and more trustworthy in his work!"

His father was right. He could learn a lot from his wife. This trip was more valuable than the experience he had accumulated over the years.

When they were in Nanzhou Prefecture, they only had to do what the steward asked them to do, and no one ever cared about your opinion.

Since coming to Longtan, whether it is with the city lord or other villagers in the village, whenever we encounter a problem, everyone will seek their opinions and ask, what do you think?

Master Lin even told him that when doing things, he should think about whether there are better ways.

In the past, people in the village said that he was clumsy, but now he feels that his brain is getting smarter and smarter. His wife and Mr. Lin both praise him!

Thinking of this, Chen Shi's back couldn't help but straighten up even more!

Lin Yinan walked into Yun Mo's temporary office. Aliang and Amin lowered their heads and knelt down with their families to kowtow to her.

No matter how long she has been here, when she hears the sound of plop, her scalp goes numb and her knees ache. What a damn feudal society!

She winked at Yun Xiaobei who was standing beside her.

Yun Xiaobei tactfully helped the two of them up, "Hurry up! Our city lord doesn't like others to play tricks on him."

"Aliang thanks the city lord for saving my life!"

A Liang avoided the hand extended by Yun Xiaobei and kowtowed three times to Lin Yinan who was sitting at the top. The family members nearby did the same.

A young man was supported by his older parents on either side.

"Get up and talk." Lin Yinan's voice was cold, but there was a faint smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

The two families supported each other and stood up. Having lived at the bottom of society for a long time, they kept their backs hunched and their waists bent even when they were standing. Everyone had a humble and cautious look of flattery on their face, and they observed her silently with their eyes and eyebrows.

Lin Yinan took a deep breath and slowly said, "What are your plans after leaving Nanzhou Prefecture?"

Ah Liang said respectfully, "Everything is up to the Lord City Lord to arrange."

"Are you going to stay here or go to Longtan?"

Aliang and Aming looked at each other and saw each other's decision.

Ah Liang stood up with a solemn look on his face and said in a resounding voice, "The Lord of the City saved my whole family. From that time on, I swear that as long as I am alive, I will follow the Lord of the City wherever he goes, and I will never betray him in this life!"

Lin Yinan had read the message sent by Yun Si at that time and knew the situation of his family.

"Is your family okay now?"

Looking at his elder brother behind him, A Liang lowered his head and choked up, "Thank you for your concern, Lord City Lord. The doctor said that even if he is cured, my elder brother will never be able to get up again."

The eldest brother worked in the Yu family shop. The housekeeper's son caused trouble and framed his eldest brother. The Yu family ordered his eldest brother to be beaten to death. Fortunately, Fourth Master Yun rescued him in time, otherwise he didn't know how he would live in the future.

But the eldest brother's leg was still broken. The family spent all their wealth and visited all the famous doctors in Nanzhou Prefecture, but they all said that the eldest brother's leg could not be cured.
