Chapter 95
Just as the official was hesitating, Lin Zaozao swept a glance at the progress bar on top of his head. Well, the official in front of him had also contracted the plague.
But looking at his appearance, it seemed like he didn't have any feeling that he had contracted the plague.
"Official brother, have you felt uncomfortable anywhere these past few days?"
Lin Zaozao poked his arm with her finger, squinting her eyes and asked implicitly.
"I feel a little uncomfortable, but my health is good and I'll be fine after enduring it for a few days."
The official turned his head to look at Lin Zaozao. He first secretly looked left and right, then whispered:
"Lin the Immortal, my master doesn't want to catch you either! After all, my young master has also contracted the plague. My young master's life now completely depends on you.
But someone above is pressuring my master. If he doesn't catch you, they will demote my master's official position.
Lin the Immortal, you're a great immortal, right? Why don't you think of a way yourself to resolve your current imprisonment!"
After hearing the official's words, Lin Zaozao narrowed her eyes, pulled the corner of her mouth, turned her body to the side and secretly gave him a thumbs up, then smiled lightly:
"Official brother, believe it or not, you've really contracted the plague. Your symptoms aren't obvious now, but after a few more days, I can't guarantee that you'll still be able to stand vigorously in front of me like this."
After hearing Lin Zaozao's words, the official's body involuntarily stiffened. Although his body didn't have any particularly obvious symptoms right now, these past two days he had been dealing with people who had contracted the plague all day.
So it was understandable that he had contracted the plague now.
"Lin the Immortal, can you save me?"
The official clasped his hands in supplication behind everyone's backs.
"Based on our relationship of not catching each other, of course I can save you. But official brother, do you still want to catch me now?" Lin Zaozao raised her brow and said.
"This, my superiors gave the order, so I don't have a way either! If I don't catch you, how will I explain it to my master when I return. "
"That's simple. When you return, just say that I, Lin the Immortal, have limitless magical powers. You ordinary people simply aren't my match. If your master doesn't believe it, then tell him to come catch me himself."
After all, the reinforcements that Ye Yi and the others were bringing would arrive soon.
After hearing Lin Zaozao's words, the official thought for a moment. Compared to his own life, what did his superiors' orders count for?

So he nodded at Lin Zaozao, signaling for her to save his life.
"Alright, first drink a cup of water. This is the medicine to save your life. Oh right, I took a look at those brothers that followed you. They've also contracted the plague."
"Lin the Immortal, how about you save all of my brothers as well?" The official rubbed his hands, somewhat embarrassed as he spoke.
"No problem! You don't catch me, I save your lives, we help each other!"
Lin Zaozao cleverly raised her brows and smiled at the official.
After seeing off those officials, Lin Zaozao finally heaved a long sigh of relief. Damn, the system had said that this plague would be somewhat difficult for her.
How was this somewhat difficult? This was extremely difficult!
These past few days, she had nearly been annoyed to death by this plague. It was so annoying that she couldn't even lie down flat.
"Xiao Taohua, is Murong Hai ready? When will they bring back the surprise they prepared for me? If they don't come back soon, I'll be put in jail!"
"They're ready. It's just that Murong Hai told me they could only come back at noon."
"Alright, I'll hang on a bit longer!"
After speaking, Lin Zaozao waved at the crowd of people who had contracted the plague, signaling for everyone to line up to collect the antidote that would save their lives.
It wasn't until noon that those officials who had left in the morning did indeed return. Accompanying them were several very luxurious sedan chairs.
Because of the arrival of the government officials, the previously orderly medicine distribution queue instantly became chaotic.
The official brothers who had come in the morning were quite reasonable. When their gazes met Lin Zaozao's, they even secretly nodded at Lin Zaozao, signaling for her to be careful.
But the attitude of the people walking in front of the officials was extremely arrogant and domineering.
When they saw people collecting medicine blocking their way, they directly pushed all of those people collecting medicine brutally to the side.
Seeing the instant chaos in the medicine distribution queue, Lin Zaozao's brows involuntarily furrowed tightly.
What was going on here?
The people who had come to cause her trouble had arrived, so where did Murong Hai and Ji Fantian go?
It was already noon now. Could it be that they couldn't find helpers and directly slipped away?
Just as Lin Zaozao was wildly speculating while looking at the officials about to arrive in front of her, a familiar face in the crowd made Lin Zaozao involuntarily surprised.
That person wasn't the Elder Lin who had been by the side of the young master with crystal eyes when she had gone into town last time?
What was going on? How did he come to her shabby courtyard?
"Village woman, do you still recognize this old man?"
Elder Lin stood in front of Lin Zaozao, frowning as he looked up and down at Lin Zaozao's eccentric attire as a deity.
The more he looked, the deeper his frown became.
"Elder Lin, it's you! What is a noble personage like you doing coming to a place as lowly as mine?"
"I came following my household's young master. Village woman, I heard that yesterday you extorted a full 100,000 taels of gold under the pretext of distributing medicine, causing the common people of Canglan and Fengshuo to suffer unspeakably.
Now under orders from my master, I've come to take you back and subject you to harsh interrogation before awaiting your beheading after autumn."
"Fuck! Elder Lin, can you be reasonable? How can you say I deliberately spread the plague? Do you have any evidence? If you dare speak nonsense you'll be struck by lightning!"
Seeing the guards following Elder Lin rush aggressively at her, Lin Zaozao was so frightened that she continuously retreated backward.
Hadn't Murong Hai and the others said yesterday that they would definitely resolve today's matters for her?
Now the mastermind had almost oppressed her to death. Why hadn't they returned yet?
Seeing the look of fright in Lin Zaozao's eyes, Xiao Taohua immediately blocked in front of Lin Zaozao, coldly looking at those despicable people with eyes full of killing intent.
Scaring his wife master, damn things, it was time for them to die.
Following that, a spray of foam shot from Xiao Taohua's hand towards the guard pouncing at Lin Zaozao.
In but a moment, that guard's eyes rolled back and he fell straight to the ground, unknown whether dead or alive.
As for Dashan, he directly walked in front of those guards, grabbed one in each hand, and within a short period of time threw all of those guards out.
After throwing them out, Dashan used his body, as sturdy as a small mountain, to staunchly block in front of Lin Zaozao.
He had protected his young miss for 18 years with Zhang Shu, and he wouldn't let just any stray cat or dog touch her.
"What are you things, actually daring to catch my young miss. Daring to touch my young miss, I'm going to wring your necks right now!"
Standing by Xiao Taohua's side, Lin Zaozao saw Dashan blocking in front of her. For a time, her eyes were full of shock and puzzlement.
She was extremely curious what Dashan's identity was that he actually dared to clash with the government's people head-on like this.
Could Dashan also be someone from the government?
If Dashan was someone from the government, then him calling her young miss meant her body's identity was what?
Just as Lin Zaozao was looking at Dashan's back and falling into thought, the person who had been sitting in the palanquin the whole time directly opened the palanquin curtain and walked out from inside.
When the person from the palanquin walked out, there was immediately an exclamation from the crowd of onlookers in the distance.
Hearing the crowd's surprise, Lin Zaozao stretched out a head from Dashan's side to sneak a peek.
It was Old Lin's master, that young master with crystal eyes. He was seen wearing a light purple robe, a jade crown on his head, and looking coldly at Dashan standing in front of him.
It was as if Dashan, whose figure was like a small mountain, was just a dead object that could be erased at any time in his eyes.
"Get lost!"
The young master opened his thin lips and said coldly.
"What do you count as to dare order me around?" Dashan blocked Lin Zaozao again and said coldly.
"If you don't scram, then just go and die!"
As soon as the young master finished speaking, several shadows suddenly rushed out from behind him and swiftly attacked Dashan.
"Dashan, be careful!"
Seeing the blades about to slice Dashan's neck, Lin Zaozao was so frightened she could hardly speak.
Damn, what was this situation!
Wasn't she here to save people? How could she attract such deadly misfortune!
If it wasn't for this plague being tied to the lives of her husband and his men, she really wanted to walk away right now.
Looking at the blades in front of him, Dashan's eyes flashed with contempt. How dare such unsightly things try to show off in front of him.
Thinking this, Dashan caught the blade with his bare hand and lightly squeezed. The icy blade shattered in his hand like paper under his grasp.
Seeing this, the young master's eyes flickered. Since when did such an amazing figure appear in the insignificant Luoshui Village?
It seems this tattered Luoshui Village was not so simple after all!
But before he could finish thinking, a stern voice behind him interrupted his thoughts.
"Fifth Young Master, you are in poor health. Why aren't you home resting and recuperating? If something happens to you here, there will be no one to clean up the mess for you."
Hearing this familiar voice, Fifth Young Master swiftly turned his head. What he saw was a face that shocked the heavens.
When Fifth Young Master saw this face, the bewilderment in his eyes swiftly turned into astonishment.
How could he be here!
