Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1511

As Governor Zhao spoke, he naturally stepped forward and tried to lead Shen Lin into the room while talking.

It has to be said that this guy does have some tricks up his sleeve; his current actions are completely manipulating people's subconscious reactions.

When someone talks about something that another person cares about, the listener will subconsciously follow the rhythm of the speaker.

For example, right now, Shen Lin actually dislikes Magistrate Zhao, but when he hears Magistrate Zhao say that he has found some clues...

Without thinking much, he instinctively followed Magistrate Zhao, listening carefully as they walked towards the room.

Of course, the main reason is that Governor Zhao poses no threat to him, so Shen Lin doesn't care too much about that.

Even though he disliked Governor Zhao, as long as he could get the information he wanted, whether or not he went inside the house was of no consequence to him.

He only cared about the information Zhao had mentioned; other matters were not within his consideration.

However, what Shen Lin didn't care about was very important to Lu Hu.

He was still thinking about how to get some manpower to investigate that old woman after he was kicked out by Magistrate Zhao.

When Shen Lin appeared, he didn't know who he was, but now, through Governor Zhao's words, he heard Shen Lin's name.

Throughout the entire capital, whether it was the Five City Garrison Command or the Embroidered Uniform Guard, everyone in their duties knew the name Shen Lin.

This is the most trusted confidant of the Duke of Zhenguo, and this opportunity has just come knocking on his door!

The key point is that he saw it clearly from the side: Shen Lin's attitude towards Magistrate Zhao was not good, and could even be described as somewhat disgusted.

Meanwhile, everyone in the capital knew that the Duke of Zhenguo and the White Lotus Sect were old rivals, having clashed several times.

As a result, this hard-won opportunity was about to be snatched away by that scoundrel, Magistrate Zhao.

This was unbearable for Lu Hu, who was already seething with anger, so he spoke up just before the two were about to enter the house.

"No way, sir! I've been watching that suspicious woman for days. You've always been mocking your subordinates!"

"When I reported to you earlier, hoping to get your approval to send someone to investigate thoroughly, you scolded me for being ridiculous!"

"He also said that all the suspicious things about that person were just my imagination, and that as long as you were here, it would be impossible to send anyone to investigate."

"Furthermore, I was told to go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard if I had the ability, and have them send someone to investigate. You absolutely won't get involved in this matter."

Upon hearing Lu Hu's words, Shen Lin, who was following Magistrate Zhao, immediately stopped and turned to look at Lu Hu.

However, before Shen Lin could speak, Magistrate Zhao, who was walking beside him, also turned around and stared at Lu Hu with a gloomy expression.

"Lu Hu, who do you think you are? Do you even have the right to speak here? Get out!"

Faced with Magistrate Zhao's reprimand, Lu Hu showed no fear, nor did he swallow his anger and listen silently as he had in the past.

Because he knew this was an opportunity, a chance to turn his life around and stop being mocked and ridiculed by Magistrate Zhao.

Therefore, he didn't even glance at Magistrate Zhao when he reprimanded him, his gaze fixed directly on Shen Lin.

"Lord Shen, I'm the one who discovered that suspicious person. I've been keeping an eye on her recently. You can ask me anything you want to know."

Upon hearing Lu Hu's words, Shen Lin remained silent for a moment before turning to look at Magistrate Zhao with amusement.

It's important to know that disrespecting superiors is a major taboo, and anyone with a brain wouldn't do something like Lu Hu.

But Lu Hu did just that, so in Shen Lin's view there were only two possibilities.

Either Lu Hu is so eager to take the position that he's lost his mind, or he's under pressure from his superiors and wants to take a gamble!

Based on Governor Zhao's practice of drinking while on duty and being a mere figurehead, Shen Lin believes the truth is most likely the latter.

To be honest, he didn't care at all about any conflict between the two, since he wasn't familiar with anyone anyway.

However, people are always influenced by their impressions, and it was clear that Magistrate Zhao did not leave a good impression on Shen Lin, and it wasn't just because of drinking.

It was Zhao Zhishi's indifferent attitude towards the investigation that made Shen Lin very dissatisfied with him.

If Lu Hu can offer something useful, then he might be willing to lend Lu Hu a hand.

It was nothing more than a matter of greeting the commander of the Five Cities Garrison. With Wei Wu behind him, his words carried weight.

Moreover, the fact that Magistrate Zhao was drinking while on duty was a big problem in itself, and getting rid of him would be a good thing for the Five Cities Garrison.

Therefore, after glancing at Magistrate Zhao, Shen Lin didn't give him a chance to speak and directly said to Lu Hu:

"Since you're the one who discovered the problem and has been keeping an eye on suspicious individuals, then you should tell me the details!"

As they were talking, Shen Lin immediately stepped in front of Lu Hu, grabbed his arm, and led him into the house.

Seeing this, Magistrate Zhao wanted to follow, but he had only taken two steps closer when Shen Lin suddenly turned around and glared at him.

"Governor Zhao, I have some questions for this brother. Could you please help me keep out any loiterers outside?"

"I...I stopped...bystanders..."

Upon hearing Shen Lin's words, Magistrate Zhao became somewhat incoherent, mainly because he was angered by Shen Lin.

What do you mean by blocking outsiders? This is clearly treating him as an outsider and telling him to stay away.

In his anger, Magistrate Zhao was about to say something when he suddenly remembered that he couldn't afford to offend Shen Lin, so he spoke in this way.

Meanwhile, Shen Lin spoke again before Magistrate Zhao could finish, his tone slightly threatening:

"What, could it be that I've put Governor Zhao in a difficult position?"

"No, no, how could that be! Brother Shen Lin, please feel free to talk. I promise I won't let anyone disturb you."

As he spoke, Governor Zhao, with a smile that looked more like a grimace, slowly moved back a few meters.

Seeing this, Shen Lin finally smiled, though the smile carried a hint of contempt.

Then, with a loud bang, the door to the room was slammed shut by Shen Lin, and only then did Magistrate Zhao dare to show the anger in his eyes.

Meanwhile, after closing the door, Shen Lin immediately looked at Lu Hu and said:

"Tell me the details of what you found out. If the information is useful, I guarantee he will never bother you again!"
