A guess vaguely appeared in Jia Lian's mind. He unconsciously clenched Jia She's hand, not even daring to blink. He was able to boldly guess Chen Jiu's identity before because of this incident. It's not clear, but now that Chen Jiu might be the thief who stole the Chen family and the Yangzhou prefect's house, and the yamen servant is outside, even if he is as bold as Jia Lian, he can't help being a little scared.

"Don't worry." As if aware of Jia Lian's fear, Jia Amnesty patted the back of his hand and said pointedly: "We can walk and sit upright, there is nothing to worry about."

Sensing the meaning of his words, Chen Jiu raised his head in surprise and fear, and met Jia Amnesty's gaze.

"Chen Jiu, go and tell them that this is the car of Lord Xunyan Censor Lin's family, and let them weigh their own identities before speaking." Jia She was silent for a moment, then said.

Chen Jiu didn't move for a long time, there was only one thought in his mind - Jia Amnesty found him!

His gaze subconsciously looked under the car, and after realizing what he had done, he quickly turned his gaze away, and said in a stiff voice, "Yes, sir, I'll go now."

When the yamen servant heard that this was the carriage of Lin Ruhai's family, his expression changed, he stared at the carriage, and said: "Wait here, I'll go and ask the chief arrester."

Chen Jiu said yes, and returned to the carriage to reply. He thought Jia She would be furious, but unexpectedly, Jia She just nodded and said nothing.

On the contrary, Jia Lian was a little displeased, and said bluntly, "Uncle Lin is the censor of salt inspection. This little yamen servant is so brave that he dares to speak like that."

"What you said is wrong. It's not because of his courage, but because of others." Jia She said, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion only thought that Lin Ruhai was sitting in the position of inspector of salt and censor. For this reason, the Wang family flattered Jia Min a lot, but they didn't see how easy it is for the inspector to sit down. The previous inspector died in office for no reason, and they haven't found out yet Why come.

Who is the real culprit?All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew it!

It's the salt merchant!

But up to now, the Shanxi merchants and the salt merchants are still doing well. They have a wealth of money and have recruited countless capable people and strangers. If anyone dares to touch their interests, they will die violently at the slightest, and their family will be destroyed at worst, especially the Chen family. .

Lin Ruhai has only been in office for a year or two. He is a smart person, so he has lived until now.

"In the carriage is Mr. Jia from the Jinling Jia family?" A rough voice sounded from outside the carriage.

Jia Amnesty was not at all surprised that the other party knew his identity. He whispered a few words to Jia Lian, lifted the curtain, and showed displeasure on his face, "Who are you?"

"The villain is He Han, the head arrester of the magistrate's yamen in Yangzhou." The man in official uniform said in a rough voice, his eyes swept across the slits in the curtain.

Jia Amnesty blocked his view from the side, and sneered, "A chief arrester dares to stop my car!"

He Han didn't take Jia Amnesty's attitude seriously. The attitude of the nobles from the capital was much worse, "Master Jia, this statement is wrong. The villain is here for official business. Even if Master Lin is here, the villain has to investigate."

"He Butou is so majestic!" Jia She said angrily, "You really can't check this carriage today!"

He Han's eyes turned cold, no matter what the little thief stole from the magistrate, judging from the magistrate's furious attitude, it must be something fatal. I am now confused, Mr. Jia and Mr. Lin are related by marriage, could it be...

"That's up to you!" He Han felt even more that there must be someone hidden in the carriage, otherwise, why would Mr. Jia refuse to let him investigate.

"What are you trying to do?" Jia Amnesty refused to budge, "He Butou is trying to make things right with our Jia and Lin families?"

He Han is not afraid at all, if it is found out that the thief is indeed in the carriage, the magistrate will definitely protect him, Lin Ruhai has not secured his seat yet, so what is there to be afraid of?As for the Jia family, this is not the capital!

"The next official is just doing things impartially. I hope Mr. Jia will do it for your convenience." He Han's tone revealed a threat.

Several yamen servants have embraced each other, blocking all the way out.

The coachman was so frightened that he trembled all over, his legs went limp.

With a strange expression on Chen Jiu's face, he stood beside him without saying a word, with a dark light in his eyes.

"Okay! Okay!" Jia Amnesty seemed to be in a hurry, his face flushed red, "How dare you say such a thing, a little captor, let me ask you, if there are no thieves in the carriage later, what will you do? !"

Seeing his tone, He Han couldn't help but shrink back, and his eyes flicked past the carriage.

At this time, a corner of clothes flashed quickly under the curtain.

He Han's eyes lit up, and he didn't care to think about it, "If there are no thieves here, I will kowtow and apologize to you."

A sneer appeared in Jia She's eyes, but his face was pretending to be panicked, "That, that..."

He Han didn't care so much, he strode forward, his fingers had already grasped the curtain.

Jia Amnesty went up to stop him, but was surrounded by other government servants.

He Han smiled triumphantly and turned around, "My lord, you wait to explain to the magistrate."

He opened the curtain and turned his head. His eyes suddenly narrowed, his hands trembled, and he pointed at Jia Lian in the carriage and said, "What, what's going on?"

There should be a thief in this carriage, why is he a yellow-mouthed kid!

"Oh," Jia She sighed, with a mocking smile on his lips, "Butou He, what's going on, I'm more confused than you, my son is clearly in the car, since I left the house until now , but you have been following me, how come you became the thief that He Butou said?"

He Han was panting heavily, his face was flushed, and his neck and hands were covered with blue veins.

What the hell is going on here?

"It seems that Butou He is crazy about catching the thief, and he came to wrong my son." Jia Amnesty said to the onlookers, "It's a pity that my son is only seven years old. If he is ten years older, he can help congratulate him." Do the head catcher a favor."

There was laughter among the crowd.

No!He even said that a seven-year-old child was a thief, and the news got out to keep the big teeth that could make people laugh.

"You, you lied to me!" He Han's eyes widened, he flung the curtain, and walked towards Jia She angrily.

"Yoyo, Butou He has to speak up. When did I say there was a thief in this car? It's just that the child is in a hurry to go back to the toilet. Butou He is just thinking too much." Jia She was furious. For his life, a series of words came out, He Han's face turned purple, and the crowd burst into laughter.

"Butou He, our family's servants are going to go to the toilet too, so don't treat Butou He as a thief." Some young masters from good backgrounds booed among the crowd.

Everyone even roared with laughter.

He Han's face was as if he had opened a dyeing workshop, turning blue and white, he gave Jia Amnesty a vicious look, flung his sleeves and was about to leave.

He didn't take a few steps, but Jia Amnesty said, "Wait, Butou He!"

He Han turned his head, with a gloomy face, "What else is there for Master Jia?"
