Chapter 300: If you have a chance later, mention this person to your Third Master.
The subordinate said, "Just, just the county magistrate?"
The tone of his voice seemed uncertain, but it was pretty much the truth.
The lead guard's expression tightened. In recent years, many coastal areas have been harassed by pirates, and Ninghai County was no exception. However, two of their villages had defeated the pirates. Although Zhoujia Village mainly relied on the support of Linshui Village, they still won.
But they had naturally heard of such exciting things.
Perhaps to protect the villagers, although the details were not publicized, it was known that Lord Wu had not only personally led the villagers of Linshui Village in fighting against the pirates, but had also commended the village.
They also approved a batch of weapons for the village to resist the invasion of pirates.
Although they were guards of the city gate, they were also soldiers, and they naturally respected these ordinary villagers who spontaneously resisted the pirates and protected their homes and the border.
Therefore, they naturally know more about the situation in Linshui Village than the outside world does.
Among them, a young woman surnamed Lin played an important role in the whole process.
In addition, this young woman's name also frequently appeared on the donation lists of various supplies after the floods.
So, this child wasn't lying to him? Was the young woman before them the same young woman who had both intrigued and impressed them?
The guard felt his heart race for no apparent reason, and his grip on the knife tightened involuntarily.
Lin Chang'er sensed something was off about his expression. The children were young, ignorant, and fearless; if she angered them, the consequences would be...
Lin Chang'er hurriedly stepped forward and gathered the children behind her, saying, "Please don't be offended by the children's unruly behavior."
"If you still have any doubts, sir, I am willing to go to the yamen with you to explain."
"The wealthy merchants in the city, Master Zhu, Master Li, Master Chen, and Master Zheng, can all vouch for me!"
"Girl!" Liu Zi rushed forward, followed by Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba.
"Mother, I'll go with you!"
"Sister, I'll stay with you too!"
"Third Aunt, I'll go back right now and get my father and the others to testify for you!"
The older dolls had clear roles: Lin Yanqing and the little goldfish were strong fighters and accompanied Lin Chang'er.
Zhou Li went back to help the reinforcements, while Gu Silang took care of the other children.
The arrangements were perfectly clear, and Lin Chang'er had nothing to add. She simply said to the guards, "Even if you have any doubts, sir, we should have the opportunity to prove ourselves."
"Sir, you wouldn't refuse, would you?"
The guard's expression changed again, and he suddenly raised his hand, signaling all the guards to put away their weapons.
Finally, he clasped his hands in a fist and said, "It was a misunderstanding that disturbed you, young lady. I apologize to you."
Lin Chang'er was startled. What happened to that face?
But then He Yang instructed his subordinates, "Come over here and recognize her. From now on, this young lady's car will be given priority when entering and leaving the city."
Lin Chang'er: "..." She hasn't even called for help yet!
Moreover, she is a law-abiding citizen; cutting in line would get her spat on.
The subordinate was clearly confused by his superior's sudden change of attitude, his face full of bewilderment.
The guard whispered an explanation: "Lin Chang'er, that little woman we've been curious about for months."
"The coastal defense team in Linshui Village was proposed by her. The quicklime that everyone received before was also donated by her and several wealthy merchants. In addition, she also donated a lot of rice, grain and money."
"Do you think she could abduct young children?"
The subordinates hurriedly shook their heads.
Lin Chang'er didn't know what they were talking about, but it was good that they were willing to let her pass. She waved her hand and said, "It's good that things are clear. There's no need for me to receive special treatment, sir."
He Yang stepped forward and whispered, "Miss Lin is brave and resourceful, which I admire. I misunderstood you in my haste just now, and I hope you will forgive me."
"If you don't want any special treatment, then fine. I'll give the order later. If you're in a hurry, just let the guard know."
Did they recognize her? Having said that, it would be impolite to refuse any longer. Lin Chang'er replied, "It is my duty, sir. Cooperating with your investigation is what I should do. I thank you in advance for your kindness."
She reached out her hand to Liu Zi, who paused, then immediately placed the silver that Lin Chang'er had given him into her palm.
Lin Chang'er handed the silver to the guard, saying, "Brothers, you've worked hard to protect the peace of the city. This silver is for you to have some tea!"
He clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute, saying, "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, we will enter the city first!"
He Yang was about to say something when Lin Chang'er turned around and waved her hand. He was holding a heavy waving of silver in his hand.
A group of children ran towards the car with a clattering sound.
Upon arriving at the vehicle, adults carried the children onto it in an orderly fashion.
The older ones got into the car themselves and then went to help pick up the younger ones.
Despite the large number of people, everything was orderly and orderly, without any panic or chaos.
As the carriage passed the guards, Lin Chang'er and Liu Zi and the others clasped their hands in a fist salute to them.
The subordinate, watching the car disappear into the city's main road, asked He Yang in confusion, "Boss, why didn't you reveal Miss Lin's identity so everyone would know who to worship in the future?"
He Yang chuckled, "Are you itching for a beating, or do you find this thing on your head too heavy?"
The subordinate asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
He Yang said, "We must strike when the nail sticks out. Linshui Village has repelled the pirates several times, but Lord Wu deliberately did not publicize the details, which is to protect them."
"The pirates are ruthless, and there are even more demons and monsters in the court who are determined to harm them. They are caught off guard."
"This may not mean much to the capital, but it would be a catastrophic loss for our coastal areas. The court's attitude is unclear, and it is highly unlikely that it will send troops. If the coast does not resist, the pirates will run rampant and sooner or later they will drive straight in. At that time, not to mention the people in the city, even you and me will be meat on the chopping block!"
The subordinate was shocked, but then he understood the key point. "Boss is insightful. If that's the case, when Miss Lin comes to the city in the future, should we also arrange for a few brothers to protect her in secret?"
He Yang smiled slightly, "You're quite savvy, but the other brothers might not be willing."
The subordinate waved his hand, "Boss, you're insulting the brothers by saying that!"
"We brothers admire no one but those who dare to fight bandits and risk their lives for the peace of the region."
"I'll handle this privately. I'll just assign two brothers on leave to protect you secretly. It's nothing serious, boss, don't worry!"
He Yang raised an eyebrow. "Then, you go?"
The subordinate patted his chest and said, "It's all taken care of!"
He Yang tossed the silver ingot in his hand toward his subordinates, "Take this and give it to the brothers to drink tea!"
"Alright!" The subordinate beamed. His boss was indeed insightful; actions couldn't be taken with just words.
At the same time, Liu Zi sat on the carriage shaft, chewing on a blade of grass, and asked Lin Chang'er, "Miss, why did the guard suddenly change his expression again?"
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "They recognized us! When you have the chance, you can mention this person to your Third Master."
Liu Zi grinned, "Aren't you angry, young lady?" He was inexplicably mistaken for a human trafficker, and now the young lady wants to help him?
