Yang Zhou's prefect Chen Ling was most uncertain about whether Yang Lin was sent by Medicine Master Li Jing.
If that was the case, then the situation in Yangzhou this time could be said to be treacherous and difficult to resolve.
So far, the mysterious force that had poured into Yangzhou had already reached more than a dozen!
" It seems like everyone wants Emperor Yang's treasure…"
Chen Leng sighed in his heart.
On the other side, seeing that Chen Leng did not avenge his son and instead welcomed him with a smile, Yang Lin was thinking about the next countermeasure. At this moment, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
"Ding! The host has successfully triggered the mission!
" Option A: Refuse Chen Leng and act alone.
[Option B: Accept the invitation, turn hostility into friendship, resolve the enmity with Chen Baobao, and gain Chen Leng's trust.]
Option C: Annoying Chen Ling! He wanted Chen Leng to lead the horse and move into the prefect's manor!”
Looking at these three options, Yang Lin's heart was filled with thunder.
Why did his Strongest Selection System not like to play by the rules? Would it kill you to give an option as a reward?
Whoosh!
Yang Lin took a deep breath and eliminated them one by one.
Option A seemed to be neutral, and one could not tell whether the result was good or bad.
Option B looked like they could bury the hatchet and search for the treasure in the prefect's mansion. However, looking left and right, they all seemed to be faking civility and fawning over others.
Option C was illogical! How could he beat up his son and then scold his father when his father came to find trouble? He even asked his father, the dignified Governor of Yangzhou and a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, to lead his horse and ride it for him?
His temper was too irritable. Only a boorish man would do such a thing!
"System, is there an option D?"
“……”
The corner of Yang Lin's mouth twitched slightly. After a moment of silence, a bright light flashed in his eyes.
"I choose C!"
"Host's selection has been recorded. Beep!”
Yang Lin's consciousness exited the communication with the system. He looked coldly at the Governor of Yangzhou, Chen Ling.
Chen Leng was stunned.
Chen Baobao, Constable Liu, and Commandant Xu were also stunned.
Not to mention them, even Shu Yueli, Sun Wei, and the others beside Yang Lin were stunned.
The prefect was already welcoming him with a smile, so what was the meaning of your stern face?
"Young Master must have traveled day and night from the Northern Borderline. It must have been a tough journey. I will order people to prepare good wine and dishes to welcome Young Master.”
As an old fox, Yang Lin did not get angry immediately. Instead, he continued to put on a smile and asked tentatively.
Who knew.
" You know that I came all the way here from the Northern Borderline, but you still dare to ignore your son and let him offend me and delay my matters. Can you bear the responsibility?" Yang Lin shouted coldly.”
"You!"
This was the first time Constable Liu had seen a commoner shout at the prefect, and he was instantly enraged.
However, he saw Chen Leng coldly sweep his gaze at him before turning to Yang Lin and apologizing,""This lowly official knows his mistake. My son was beaten, and he brought it upon himself. Men, lead the horse and welcome the young master into the residence!”
Chen Ling was currently in a state of panic. He was already 90% sure that Yang Lin was sent by Apothecary Li Jing.
Who was Apothecary Li Jing?
He was the founding elder of the country, one of the three dukes!
He could easily crush a rank four official like him to death!
Chen Leng's attitude was extremely humble, leaving Chen Baobao and the others speechless.
Only Commandant Xu, who was standing beside Chen Leng, was deep in thought.
At this moment, a bailiff led a tall horse over. Yang Lin mounted the horse, and Chen Ling also mounted the horse with his men. They were about to rush to the prefect's manor together.
" Governor Chen," Yang Lin sneered." As long as you're the one holding the reins, I'll let bygones be bygones. Otherwise…"
Boom!
A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples!
The bailiffs and officials of the prefect's manor glared at Yang Lin with hatred in their eyes.
Even Commandant Xu, who had been expressionless, swept his eyebrows in displeasure.
Chen Baobao, who was helped up by the servants, screamed and rushed over." How dare you ask my father to hold the horse for you? You-"
"Get lost! You reckless thing!"
Chen Ling kicked Chen Baobao to the ground. His expression changed for a while, then he walked to Yang Lin's horse with a smile."A real man should correct his mistakes. Since I said that I would apologize for my son, I will keep my word.”
Earlier, Chen Ling had addressed himself as a 'subordinate' but now, he was referring to himself as a 'subordinate.' It could be seen that he had clearly placed Yang Lin's identity before his own.
After saying that, Chen Ling took a deep breath.
"I will lead the horse for Young Master!"
Yang Lin's eyes flashed slightly. This Yangzhou prefect was not a simple person. He could take it up and let it go. Immediately, Yang Lin no longer made things difficult for him. Under Chen Ling's lead, he slowly walked towards the prefect's manor.
Along the way, the jaws of the surrounding commoners had already dropped to the ground.
Shouldn't Yang Lin be terrified and beg for forgiveness when the soldiers of Yangzhou's Zhechong Prefecture arrived?
Why was it the Governor of Yangzhou who was servilely leading Yang Lin's horse?
It was simply f * cking heaven!
Behind Yang Lin, Shu Yueli and Sun Wei looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
This master of his was really taking risks and could be said to have used the path of deception to the extreme.
This was enough to scare a rank four official of the imperial court!
The storm subsided with an unexpected ending. The pedestrians by the lake shook their heads and scattered.
