The host listened and responded with eyes half-closed, "Amitabha, Hui Zhen has already sent Jue Ming and three others over there, all of whom are quite skilled."

"As the Lin family’s business soars, with even winter agriculture in the greenhouse as suggested by Miss Lin feasible. Should the Northern Land yield rice in the spring as she also mentioned, the Lin family might be thrown into a turmoiled state." Master Hui Lian responded solemnly, "The imperial court has always been envious of the prince, not to mention other territorial princes. And the troubles from the Tatars."

"Let Hui Zhen dispatch another four visiting students there." The host contemplated for a moment before giving his approval.

"Yes, I will notify brother Hui Zhen immediately." Hui Lian exited the room joyfully.

"Little girl, I’m sending four more people your way to spare you from those watchful eyes." Hui Zhen had gotten wind of the incident at the Lin family since early morning. Having returned to the temple, he had already picked out people to send over to Lin Ziyin. But first, he needed to inform the host. After all, a good number of the martial monks were orphans that the temple had taken in years ago. These kids were not real monks, but visiting students of the temple who could revert to secular life anytime.

He didn’t mind sending a few away.

"Benefactor Lin, I can follow you from now on." A bald little monk showed his head from behind Hui Zhen.

"Jue Yuan." Lin Ziyin watched the little monk excitedly. Jue Yuan would often follow Hui Zhen to the Lin’s, and he and Lin Ziyin had been well acquainted for a long time. The relationship between the little monks and Lin Ziyin was pretty good. After all, it was because of Lin Ziyin that their food and accommodation were also improved, and all the monks remembered her kindness.

"You can eat meat freely from now on." Remembering how distressed the little monk looked the first time he held a roast chicken behind Hui Zhen, Lin Ziyin couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Amitabha." The little monk clasped his hands together and spoke, "The Buddha keeps in mind the one who passes meat and wine through his bowels."

His serious look made Lin Ziyin laugh so hard that she couldn’t straighten her waist, "Follow your big sister well, when you grow up, sister will find you a wife."

This time all the monks present chorused, "Amitabha."

Lin Ziyin laughed harder, looking like she had lost her mind.

With the additional company from Ding’an Temple, and gaining a few more people, the depression in Lin Ziyin’s heart gradually subsided.

Within Feng City, some sharp-eyed passerby noticed two bodies hanging on the killing pillar, attracting an ever-increasing crowd of onlookers who began to speculate about their identity.

The so-called killing pillar was the spot where the prince’s residence typically displayed the bodies of extremely evil criminals or enemies. As a rule, those brought to this place were never good people.

Although the crowd had no idea who they were, the bodies still drew lots of rotten vegetables and rocks thrown by the city’s residents. The Northern Land originally was a sensitive area, where Tatar spies or bandits causing trouble were common, meaning the residents were perpetually on edge, having suffered from their harm quite often.

"Master, they have failed. They are currently hanging on the killing pillar." At night, two more men dressed in black appeared in Li Yanran’s room.

"What? How did they end up on the killing pillar?" Li Yanran looked horrified.

The killing pillar was the place where the prince dealt with people who committed heinous crimes. Lin Ziyin was but an ordinary peasant girl. How could she have people hanged there? Li Yanran thought and thought, speculating that Chu Suifeng must have been involved in this matter.

Did this mean that the prince knew it was she who orchestrated everything and was going to send people to the Li Residence to arrest her? "What should I do? Those two damned fools couldn’t even kill a little peasant girl. What use is there in feeding them for so many years?"
