New and dark light years

Chapter 277 Offering
He Xinghao and the other two were imprisoned.

Although the environment was not good, and the straw they slept on was rotten and dirty, at least the yamen runners did not torment them.

Send some food on time.

I completely ignore them at other times.

After waiting for a few days, He Xinghao couldn't help but ask the yamen runner who delivered the food, "Brother, I want to ask you something. When will your Supervisor Li deal with us?"

The constable said irritably, "What, are you all in such a hurry to die?"

“Brother, what are you saying? Who would want to die if they could live? We’re just feeling uneasy. They’re keeping us locked up like this, without beatings, scoldings, or interrogations, which makes us feel even more uncertain.”

The constable snorted, "If it weren't for the county magistrate forbidding us from beating or scolding prisoners at will, we would have secretly killed the three of you long ago."

He Xinghao and the other two exchanged a fearful glance and then asked, "Brother, you have no grudge against us. It's one thing to scold or beat us a few times, but you want to kill us? That's going too far."

"You want to harm County Commandant Li... Now, which of the yamen runners and local militia in Yulin County doesn't want to kill you? Do you think I'm joking?"

The constable sized up the three of them with a sinister gaze, then snorted and prepared to leave.

"Don't go, don't go! Brother, tell us again how we can get Li Dujian's forgiveness."

"how could I know!"

The constable rolled his eyes at the man and then left.

He Xinghao sat there dejectedly.

The two people next to them had similar expressions.

Not long after, another person came in. The three of them saw that it was a handsome young man dressed in military uniform, and they immediately became excited.

However, the three of them did not forget 'etiquette' and immediately knelt side by side behind the iron fence.

Li Lin was followed by yamen runners. Someone put down a chair, and Li Lin sat down.

“I have already sent people to investigate your entire family.”

Upon hearing this, the three of them turned pale.

He Xinghao cried out, "Supervisor Li, we have offended you, but we are not guilty enough to do this! We are not guilty enough to do this!"

He Xinghao really burst into tears.

Li Lin is now the Military Commander, in charge of three thousand troops. Although he doesn't lead a large army to arrest people across regions, it's still easy for him to secretly send a small elite unit to do certain things.

There's no problem as long as it doesn't arouse suspicion from outsiders.

For such a person, it would be easy to exterminate the entire family of a nobody.

The other two had bloodshot eyes, staring intently at Li Lin with eyes full of hatred.

Li Lin smiled and said, "But you don't need to be in a hurry. I don't mean to exterminate your entire clan for now. I'm just investigating."

Upon hearing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and then slumped to the ground.

Li Lin beckoned, and a yamen runner brought over a document from the side.

“Give them to them.”

The documents were handed to the prison.

He Xinghao looked at him with some confusion.

Li Lin said, "Let's take a look first, and then we'll talk."

He Xinghao immediately finished reading the document, and then his eyes showed some disbelief.

"The Qin family is colluding with Yuecheng? Is this evidence?"

Li Lin nodded: "This is the evidence."

He Xinghao stared at the rather 'fresh' handwriting on the document and was speechless.

Li Lin laughed and said, "To tell you the truth, the evidence is indeed just for show, but the matter is indeed true."

He Xinghao closed the document and said, "Supervisor Li, the three of us are dull-witted, so just tell us directly what we should do."

“Use this document to do some tricks, find more ‘evidence,’ and after you return to the palace, present it to the noble people behind you.”

He Xinghao vaguely understood Li Lin's meaning: "In other words, you deliberately made it seem like you destroyed the Qin family for the sake of the Imperial Concubine, right?"

"Smart!" Li Lin nodded. Then he waved his hand, and another constable came over and threw a bundle inside.

He Xinghao opened it, and there were several silver notes inside.

"This is your hard-earned money," Li Lin said with a smile. "Take the documents and your belongings, and your entire family will still be around. If you don't want to, the three of you can go to the mass grave tomorrow and keep company with the crows. Which do you choose?"

Is this still a choice?
He Xinghao immediately knelt down: "I am willing to serve the Commander, and I am deeply grateful for his kindness."

"Me too."

"Me too."

Two other people also came over and knelt down to pay their respects.

Li Lin nodded with satisfaction: "Besides the three of you, how many other people did your esteemed guest send?"

"There are six more people, but they... are all in Yourong County investigating the situation there."

Li Lin raised an eyebrow slightly.

At this moment, He Xinghao suddenly said, "If the supervisor can give me a few more silver notes, I am confident that I can make them become like us."

Li Lin smiled: "Alright! Then I'll leave it to you."

After saying that, Li Lin left.

The three people in the prison breathed a heavy sigh of relief, filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

Li Lin went straight home after being released from prison.

Although the Jiang family helped send the Youth-Preserving Pill to the palace, Li Linsheng was cautious by nature and would not put all his eggs in one basket.

Are the Chiang family trustworthy?
Of course it's believable!

However, he did not gain Li Lin's complete trust.

Often, Chiang Chi-li is Chiang Chi-li, and the Chiang family is the Chiang family.

Although they appear to be one, they are actually different.

Upon returning home, Li Lin sent fifteen bottles of anti-aging pills and two bottles of body-strengthening pills to the Jiang residence.

The agreed-upon quantity was fifteen bottles of Youth Preservation Pills, while the two bottles of Body Strengthening Pills were a personal gift from Li Lin to Jiang Jili.

When someone offers help and you remember it, that's how you exchange favors.

After receiving the Youth Preservation Pill, Jiang Jili had several sixth-rank martial artists escort it to the capital.

These warriors, carrying protective powder and cloaks, traveled through wind and dew without any safety issues.

The Cloak of Concealment is extremely precious to ordinary people, and even rare for spirit hunters.

But for powerful families, it wasn't anything too unusual.

Of course, just because something isn't rare doesn't mean it can be mass-produced; it's still something only a select few can own.

After twenty days of rapid travel, these youth-preserving pills arrived in the capital and reached the Jiang family.

Then, through some kind of manipulation, it was sent into the palace.

It was already evening, and steam was rising from Huaqing Pool.

Colorful flower petals are scattered on the water's surface, and a woman with snow-white skin and ethereal beauty is leisurely soaking in the water.

She had her eyes slightly closed and a faint smile on her face.

Meanwhile, several maids would occasionally test the water temperature in the pool. If it felt a little cool, they would carefully pour some of the prepared hot water into it from the side.

At this moment, a eunuch trotted in, bowing his head, and said, "Your Highness, Consort Jiang requests an audience."

"Let her in."

Not long after, a pretty young woman came in, bowing low. She knelt down by the Huaqing Pool and held up a wooden box with both hands, saying, "Your Majesty, this is a precious gift that someone asked my eldest son to bring in, to present to you."

"What good stuff is it?"

"Rejuvenating Pill!"

Consort Yourong was taken aback: "Hmm? Is this really true?"
