Zhu Yan also persuaded.

"Ah, Sister Zhu wants me to go too?"

Yu Ling'er was surprised, then she looked at the proprietress and others who were beaten to death on the ground, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

In fact, I just said a few harsh words to her, the retribution shouldn't be so terrible, right?

She asked cautiously, "Could it be that the master is more powerful than Liu Jin?"

Zhu Yan said: "Do you remember the Saint Martial Envoy Lord Feng we talked about earlier? He was captured by this Lord."

"It's not just that."

Little Pan Zi at the side added: "My family has ascended to the throne, and is now deeply favored by His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine. Holding the Heavenly Order, with the special permission of the Emperor, I can execute first and report later. My popularity is no less than Liu Jin's."

"Oh, then."

Yu Ling'er tightly grasped the purse in her hand and said weakly, "Then I will go with you to thank your master in person."

South City District of the Imperial Capital, Tongluo Lane, Xijishichang.

"Miss, please, my family is in the upper position, and I will wait for you inside."

Little Panzi smiled and made a "please" gesture.

"oh oh."

Yu Ling'er looked around curiously.

I saw that this was a huge mansion with an architectural layout similar to a courtyard house.

From time to time, on the roads and on the eaves, eunuchs with great skills would pass by with documents in their hands, looking very busy.

"Ah, so this is one of the two highest secret agencies in the Great Xia Empire, the Western Factory."

Yu Ling'er muttered softly, looked up at the three big characters "Deputy Governor's Office" on the plaque above, gritted her teeth and walked in.

As soon as she stepped through the door, she had a bad feeling.

There was only one north-facing window inside, and the lighting was extremely poor. Perhaps because of this, a few red candles were lit in broad daylight, barely illuminating half of the room.

After looking around a few times, I didn't see any figure.

She took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and said to the inner hall with the door half-closed:

"Sir, Deputy Vice Governor! Yu Ling'er, a disciple of the Shengwu Academy, is here to pay her respects!"

"Girl, come in."

A sharp and thin male voice was immediately heard from inside.

"Yes!"

Yu Ling'er responded.

Somehow.

She always felt that the other person's hoarse voice was not as natural as that of the father-in-law she had just met. It sounded more like he was pinching his throat.

After a slight hesitation, he walked in.

"Miss Yu, were you frightened just now?"

Yu Ling'er was looking for someone everywhere when a voice came from behind the curtain of the bed in front of her.

"F-okay."

Yu Ling'er shook her head and quickly added: "By the way! Thank you, Deputy Governor, for your help! Otherwise..."

"How are you doing otherwise?"

"Otherwise I will just forget about my father's teachings and beat those people up, ah."

Yu Ling'er pouted and sighed helplessly.

Then what she never expected was.

As soon as she said this, a burst of laughter came from behind the curtain: "Hahaha."

The laughter of the deputy governor of the Western Factory was surprisingly clear and hearty, like that of a handsome young man, totally unlike the disgusting hoarse voice!

"Mr. Vice Governor, are you laughing at me?"

"Cough cough."

As if realizing his mistake, the adult inside cleared his throat and said, "No, no, no, I was just laughing at that noodle vendor for being so foolish and stupid that she actually messed with a talented woman like you."

"what"

After hearing the compliments from others, Yu Ling'er was quite happy in her heart, but her cheeks turned red. She whispered: "Your Excellency is too kind! I am an ordinary woman, how can I deserve the title of a heroine?"

"Alright, alright, young lady, you don't have to be so modest in front of me. I'm sure you were very happy when I praised you just now."

The young man behind the curtain laughed.

"Ahhh, how did the adults know that I like to be praised by others?"

Yu Ling'er's cheeks turned even redder, and she quickly changed the subject: "Deputy Governor, you and I are strangers, why did you help me?"

"Let's put this issue aside for now."

The young man's voice unexpectedly became magnetic and gentle: "I have another more important question that I want to ask you, young lady."

"Well, please speak, Vice Governor."

Yu Ling'er also took a deep breath, trying hard to adjust her mood so as not to show any weakness and embarrass her father and brother.

"When the young lady was trapped in the noodle stall by the lady boss because she didn't have any money, she clearly had a purse full of gold leaves on her body, why didn't she use it to pay? Could it be..."

"Is the girl the legendary little miser?"

When the other party mentioned the words "little miser", there was no trace of sarcasm in his tone, but it was a bit teasing.

Yu Ling'er also said truthfully: "Because the gold leaves in the purse cannot be used."

"Why not?"

"Mr. Deputy Governor, can I not say it?"

"I heard that the Jinling Yu family has always been a debtor, young lady..." The voice behind the curtain became a little mysterious:

"You don't want to owe me a favor that you can't repay for the rest of your life, do you?"

"Ah, sir, you"

Yu Ling'er suddenly felt a powerless feeling as if her life was being strangled!

"Well, my Lord has done me a favor, so I can tell you about this. Maybe my Lord can help me."

Yu Ling'er lowered her head and said sadly, "To be honest, the priceless gold leaves in this purse are not from our family, but from a big shot in the capital, who asks someone to send them to our house every year."

"Oh? Who?"

"I don't know who she is, I just know that she claims to be the most powerful woman in the capital, and that she is this beautiful woman."

"She kidnapped my brother! Lord Vice Governor, can you help me?"

When she mentioned the young man deep inside her heart, Yu Ling'er could no longer hold back her emotions and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Ahem, sister, let's not talk about making the decision for now."

The deputy governor asked again: "She gave you the gold leaves, perhaps to compensate you, why don't you use them? You can live like a rich lady with this bag of gold leaves given by the royal family."

"No! If she really wants to make it up to me, the more she gives me, the more I can't take it!"

"Why?"

"Because Ling'er wants to return this bag of gold leaves and tell that self-righteous, arrogant and beautiful lady."

"No amount of money can buy Ling'er's brother away!"

When she said the last sentence, the girl almost cried out.

The young man behind the curtain remained silent for a long time.

The atmosphere in the room fell into silence.

The only sound was the faint crying of a young girl.

"Sir, Ling'er has already told you about this. You can..."

"Can you give Ling'er a favor?"

The girl said humbly.

"Ah."

The young man responded softly, and said in a serious tone: "Everything you can see in this capital city, as long as you want and as long as I can."

"what?"

Hearing this, Yu Ling'er widened her beautiful eyes, and was shocked for several seconds, then waved her hands: "No, no, no, your Excellency, you are too polite! My brother said that no reward should be given without merit! Ling'er only needs your help to reunite me with my brother, and after that, even if you want me to work like a cow or a horse, I am willing to do anything for you!"

"This matter is easy to handle."

"Easy to handle?"

Yu Ling'er was shocked again, and for the first time she raised her head and looked directly at the silhouette of the man behind the curtain.

Suddenly, the other person's sharp profile gave her a sense of déjà vu!

"Mr. Deputy Governor, can you really help me? Excuse me, when can I see my brother?"

Yu Ling'er mustered up the courage to ask.

"Right now."

The other party responded.

In an instant, Yu Ling'er was shocked and stared at the silhouette behind the curtain in amazement.

next moment.

laugh.

The curtains were drawn aside.

A young man wearing a python robe, with a graceful demeanor, unparalleled handsomeness, like a god descending from heaven, walked out with gentle eyes!
