Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

Lin Shu was stunned when he heard what the aunt said.

[Huh? This is Songfeng Town? ]

Lin Shu's eyes were filled with shock.

[When did Shen Xi learn fortune-telling? ]

[Did you learn this from Master Di Lan? ]

Shen Xi, who had been deceiving Lin Shu, suddenly had an idea of ​​how to explain himself after hearing what Lin Shu said.

He was about to explain when he realized that if he said it, it would be like telling Lin Shu that her thoughts could be heard by others.

He immediately changed his tone.

"Fubao, don't be afraid. We have the Imperial Guards and the secret guards your father sent to hide in the dark."

"We'll be fine."

As he spoke, he wiped the rotten eggs stuck to his forehead with a handkerchief.

At this time, there was already a commotion outside, and people were getting closer to the carriage.

The imperial guards pretending to be ordinary people saw people about to pounce on them and suddenly drew the swords at their waists.

And shouted angrily, "Back off!"

When the aunties saw this, they dared not move forward.

He then sat down on the ground and ruffled his hair.

Then he slapped his thigh and kept yelling.

"Killing, killing."

"Is there any justice in the world? You dare to attack an old woman like me in the street."

The people watching around were even more enraged and threw rotten eggs at the imperial guards.

The action was not stopped until the government officials arrived.

The aunt felt even more aggrieved when she saw the government officials coming.

"Sir! They have captured my son."

"You know, my son is the most honest man."

"These damn people tied up my son and Er Gouzi like this."

"They are definitely not good people."

The people sent by the government were ready to take action at first, but when they saw that Lin Shu and his men were numerous and equipped with weapons.

The momentum suddenly dropped.

The magistrate, who had been walking in the front, had quietly retreated to the back.

Let the county magistrate next to him start asking questions.

The county magistrate trembled for a moment, then said in a trembling voice: "The magistrate of Songfeng Town is here, who are you?"

The auntie who was shouting before also shut up when she saw the county magistrate's voice shaking like this.

But those eyes were staring fiercely at the county magistrate.

The person sent by Murong Xun stood up at this time.

"The Qihuang School came here to offer free clinics."

"We caught these tied-up horse thieves on the road and wanted to hand them over to the local authorities for processing."

"We don't mean any harm."

Lin Shu looked at the scene outside through the gap in the car window.

[Isn't Jiang Shiyuan Murong Xun's subordinate? He usually reports to Lady Murong. Why did he come here?]

[With me here, Lady Murong is worried about Shen Xi's safety? ]

[You underestimate me too much. I have accumulated a lot of points. As long as Shen Xi is still alive, I can save him.]

Shen Xi's face flushed, and she unconsciously hugged Lin Shu tighter.

He cast his gaze out the window, not knowing how much he saw inside.

The magistrate smiled awkwardly: "So you are here for free consultation. Why don't you send someone to take the doctors to rest? Why are you all gathered here?"

After he finished speaking, he smiled at Jiang Shiyuan and said, "Then can we hand this person over to us?"

When Lin Shu heard the noise outside, he felt that there was something fishy going on with the magistrate.

[They were obviously terribly afraid of us, yet they had the guts to accept this group of people. ]

[No matter how you look at it, this guy is in league with those thieves. ]

When Shen Xi heard Lin Shu say this, he immediately became worried.

If we hand the person over directly, won't these guys come looking for us again?

Apparently Jiang Shiyuan had also thought of this, and looked at the magistrate with a half-smile.

"Your Excellency is afraid of us but not these bandits. You are truly a fatherly official."

"But the leader of the bandits is very skilled in martial arts. I'm afraid your men can't restrain them at all."

"Why don't we break this man's hands and feet and then hand him over to you, sir?"

"This way, it won't delay the interrogation, and you won't have to worry about them running away."

Before the magistrate could reply, he heard the bandit leader's cries from behind.

You don't need to take the cloth out of his mouth to know how dirty his curse is.

The magistrate glanced at the leader of the horse bandits, his eyes flickering, and he kept wiping the non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead.

"It's not necessary to pour it out. It won't be a problem as long as your hands and feet are tied up."

Jiang Shiyuan seemed not to have heard it and ordered the imperial guards to take action.

The magistrate immediately said anxiously: "Show mercy!"

Jiang Shiyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? It seems that the magistrate and he are old acquaintances."

The magistrate kept wiping his sweat, gritted his teeth and continued: "These horse thieves have helped us. If it weren't for them, our Songfeng Town would have been occupied by thieves long ago."

"I hope you guys will show some mercy."

The aunt who had been yelling before stopped crying. She quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize towards the carriage where Shen Xi was.

"Sir, please let my son go. He has never hurt anyone."

"He went out to rob to feed the old, weak and sick in our village."

"Not only that, but we also have to deal with other bandits. We have no choice."

When Jiang Shiyuan heard this, his brows furrowed.

"Are there any other bandits here?"

After saying this, he directed his sharp gaze towards the magistrate who was hiding behind some people.

"Did you know about this? Are you just letting it go?"

The magistrate was frightened by the sharp gaze.

He thought that he was clearly an official, but this guy not only did not kneel when he saw him, but also looked like he was interrogating him.

I just want to stand up straight.

However, when Jiang Shiyuan's whip hit the feet of the man in front of him.

The thought of showing off was no longer in his mind.

He said tremblingly, "Those bandits are colluding with the prefect, how dare we go to encircle and suppress them?"

"The last county magistrate who led a siege operation has grass three feet high on his grave."

Jiang Shiyuan sneered a few times and looked at the county magistrate.

"So you colluded with the bandits to rebel?"

Lin Shu just felt that it was far off the mark.

[If the higher-ups are not colluding with the mountain bandits, then he is colluding with the horse bandits. Isn't this just the pot calling the kettle black? ]

【But this place really needs to be properly managed. 】

Lin Shu couldn't help but think of her emperor father who abandoned her.

Suddenly I felt sad.

[My dad definitely doesn't want me anymore. Woohoo! ]

[Did he give me to Shen Xi?]

Lin Shu raised his eyes to look at Shen Xi, then buried his head in Shen Xi's arms and started crying.

Shen Xi frantically tried to coax Lin Shu, his mind in a mess.

I couldn't help but look out the window, wanting to ask Jiang Shiyuan for help.

Jiang Shiyuan heard the noise in the carriage and glanced at the county magistrate, only to see that the county magistrate was like a quail.

Without saying a word, he just stood in the middle of the crowd with his neck shrunk.

He just felt extremely irritated.

Turn over and dismount.

This action startled the magistrate and he took two steps back again.

Jiang Shiyuan rolled his eyes at him and walked towards Shen Xi.

At the side of the carriage, Jiang Shiyuan knocked twice gently before opening the curtain.

"Sir, please let me use the token that His Majesty gave me."

Shen Xi was stunned. "Do we have to take it out now? Didn't His Majesty say that it should be used at a critical moment?"

Jiang Shiyuan just felt tired, and he would rather stay in Yanjing to handle all the affairs for Lord Murong.

No one wants to follow Shen Xi here.

He has been fed up with naive people like Shen Xi over the years.

But he also knew the position of Shen Xi in his master's heart.

I could only patiently explain to Shen Xi.
