After the man with the sword brought the nine Lin Yu people into the Yamen, he did not rush to ask them questions. Instead, he called a messenger and asked him to take them to rest, saying that he would wait until daybreak to talk about everything.
Lin Yu had no choice but to do as the other party said.
The next morning.
The man with the sword took Lin Yu and nine others in two carriages and headed straight to Jianyang City.
On the carriage, Lin Yu finally learned his true identity.
Unexpectedly, this person was none other than the current head of the Tiger Clan.
This made Lin Yu curious. The leader of the Tiger Sect was in the Yamen, but he just let the two evil creatures go out and kill them.
Why?
The answer to this question was not answered until the magistrate's office arrived in Jianyang City.
After entering the government office, several officers took away Lin Yu's eight younger brothers, while Lin Yu was taken by the master of the Tiger Clan to meet the prefect of Jianyang Prefecture.
In the prefect's study.
"Sir, I have already brought you."
The leader of the Tiger Gate clasped his fists at a middle-aged man in official uniform.
“Well done.”
The prefect gave a faint compliment and looked at Lin Yu quietly.
None of the three people spoke, and the study was quiet.
This atmosphere made Lin Yu couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts and felt uneasy.
First of all, it is unlikely that the prefect would personally meet the client for such a matter. Secondly, the place chosen by the other party is a private space like the study, which is even more bizarre.
I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
I don’t know what the other party means by being so silent. Is he thinking about what to do with himself?
The more Lin Yu thought about it, the more annoyed he became, but there was nothing he could do.
I can only just wait like this stupidly.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the study door was pushed open.
Lin Yu was a little curious. He didn't even knock on the door when he entered the prefect's study, which meant that this guy must have a higher official position than the prefect.
Thinking of this, he secretly glanced sideways to see who was coming.
When he saw it, he was shocked.
Because he had seen this man with his own eyes, in the living room of the president of the Black Market Chamber of Commerce.
It was the mysterious man who stopped him from buying martial arts books.
This person is dressed exactly the same today as he was that day. He is wearing a strange and elegant outfit, which is completely different from the people in Jianyang City.
After seeing Lin Yu's appearance clearly, the well-dressed man was slightly surprised. But as his eyes moved down to the knife, an expression of sudden realization appeared on his face.
"You two go out, I'll talk to him alone."
The well-dressed man ordered unceremoniously.
The prefect and the master of the Tiger Gate immediately turned around and went out obediently. They didn't have the airs of a big shot at all and were very obedient.
"look into my eyes."
The well-dressed man ordered Lin Yu again.
Lin Yu felt very unhappy, but he still did what he did.
After all, the situation is stronger than the person, so I have to bow my head.
The two looked at each other.
Lin Yu didn't know what the other person wanted to see through him. He only knew that what he saw in the other person's eyes was a kind of arrogance that looked down on the common people.
No, it shouldn't be said to be arrogant, it's more like a kind of indifference that doesn't take anyone into consideration.
It's like a person looking at a group of ants. The big ants among them may arouse that person's interest, but they won't make him want to take a high look. At most, he can just sigh at this small life, which is quite interesting.
Lin Yu noticed that this man looked at him like this.
"The first time I saw you, I didn't realize that the knife in your hand was a Yang weapon refined by the Chiyang Sect. That's no wonder."
The well-dressed man withdrew his eyes from scrutinizing Lin Yu and started talking to himself.
"Young man, I would like to give you a word of advice: meddling in other people's business will lead to a bad death."
"Have you ever thought about why no one takes action and you, a stupid young man, just go out and show off? Is it because you think the lifespan of the Yang Soldier is too long?"
Having said this, he stopped, and after a while he shook his head slightly and said, "Forget it, it's useless to talk to you people anymore. I'll spare you once today, but I won't do it next time."
After saying that, he waved his hand towards Lin Yu, meaning that he could leave.
Although Lin Yu didn't know why, he didn't want to stay here for a moment, so he turned around and left immediately.
After leaving the gate of the government office, he took a few deep breaths of fresh air to eliminate a lot of the depression in his heart.
At this time, his eight younger brothers were also sent out by the government officials.
"What did they say to you?" Lin Yu asked.
"Brother, they said that everything that happened last night was subject to the announcement issued by the government. They told us not to spread rumors, otherwise we will be dealt with according to law."
"Okay, listen to the government. Just pretend that nothing happened last night. When you get home, don't tell anyone who asks. If anyone insists on asking for the results, let them ask me."
Lin Yu didn't know what the government's purpose was, but he wished that no one knew about what happened last night.
He didn't think it would be a good thing for his heroic deeds to spread. Judging from the words of the mysterious man, it would only be a bad thing that would cause trouble for him.
"Let's go home quickly."
The group of people didn't even take a carriage, so they just walked back home.
When they arrived at the Lin Mansion, the family was quite surprised and immediately informed Lin Chengye.
Lin Yu was then taken to Lin Chengye's study.
"Yu'er, what happened? Are you the only ones back?"
As soon as the door of the study room was closed, Lin Chengye couldn't wait to ask.
Lin Yu said, "Father, we were sent back by the government. We went to the government office first. I don't know the specific reason, but the government will make an announcement soon."
."
"oh?"
Lin Chengye was stunned for a moment, then looked thoughtful.
After thinking for a while, he nodded slightly and said: "Okay, then you can go back and rest first, and wait until the official announcement comes out."
…
After returning to the room, Lin Yu couldn't calm down at all and had countless questions in his mind.
What he is most concerned about now is, what is the origin of the frost knife in his hand?
"The yang soldier he mentioned, yang should be the yang of the sun, right?"
Lin Yu recalled the words of the mysterious man, who said that the knife in his hand was a Yangbing made by some sect.
But Yang Yuanzheng told him personally that his knife was made by a famous craftsman designated by their Menghumen. At that time, he went to observe the forging process many times.
Lin Yu believed that there was no need for Yang Yuanzheng to deceive him about this kind of thing, and if Yang Yuanzheng really knew the value of the knife, he would never sell it for only 600 taels of gold. This would be almost like giving it away for free.
Another point, the mysterious man also mentioned it himself, saying that the first time he didn't even notice that the knife was a Yang Bing.
It shows that before this, this knife was really just an ordinary knife except for being sharp.
"Then there is only one possibility. Something strange happened in Yang Yuanzheng's home at that time, which caused the knife to change."
