Chapter 389

Knowing that they came here overnight, Mr. Qin must be very concerned about this matter, so he didn't delay, and told them how he found out that Mr. Lu was a fugitive slave, and what happened back then.

"What was Mr. Lu's name when he was in Linglong Painting Boat?" Gu Jinli asked.

Mr. Lu had two names. He used to be called Lu Zhudan, and he changed his name to Lu Xiangfu after he got rich, but they didn't know what name he used when he was in Linglong Painting Boat, and Mr. Xue didn't say it in the letter.

Mr. Xue thought for a while, and said: "There is no name, he is just a handyman. Linglong Huafang's handymen all start with the word Huai, and use numbers as their names. His name is easier to remember. His name is Huai 46. Listen to my family name. The master once called him Huai Siliu."

Gu Jinli asked again: "Then what was his name before he sold himself to Linglong Painting Boat? Do you always know?"

Old Xue shook his head: "I don't really know, I only know that Huai Siliu was a beggar in the city before entering Linglong, and after a few months in the city, he sold himself to Linglong without asking for a penny. "

"On Linglong Huaboat, many of the servants came in this way. Huafang will not investigate them deeply. And Mr. Lu is the kind of very inconspicuous person in Linglong Huaboat. He just does chores, flatters the guests, and sometimes sends When the guests go home, they sometimes swim to please the guests in exchange for a reward."

He said again: "Servants like Huai Siliu and the others are dispensable little people in Linglong Huafang. It is very difficult to remember them."

Gu Jinli frowned upon hearing this: "For such a character, if Linglong Huafang encounters a catastrophe, it would be too easy for him to escape."

She thought of something, and immediately asked Mr. Xue: "Grandpa Xue, you said that Mr. Lu and the others would swim for the guests to see. Does that mean that many people were drowned while swimming for the pleasure of the guests?"

Mr. Xue nodded: "Indeed, those who work for them have to swim according to the requirements of the guests. Those guests are the children of aristocratic families. They spend their lives in luxury and money, and don't pay much attention to human life. Many customers will let them swim. People hold their breath in the water and use it as a gamble to see whether you bet on the swimming time or I bet on the swimming time. Because of this kind of competition, the handyman in the painting boat will die every month Up to two or three."

After Gu Jinli listened, he had already guessed what Mr. Lu's escape method was.

In the end, she looked at Mr. Xue and said, "Grandpa Xue, we need witnesses, and please come with us to the county government, so that we can come out and identify Mr. Lu."

Mr. Xue didn't want to go, but Gu Jinli had helped him and was very kind to him. After hesitating for a moment, he finally agreed: "Wait a minute, I want to go back and see the young master. After I have arranged the affairs of the house, I can Come with you."

Naturally, Gu Jinli and the others would not stop them, and hurriedly said: "Please go ahead, we are waiting for you."

Old Xue nodded and went to the backyard.

And Gu Jinli told Gu Jin'an his guess: "Mr. Lu set up a good game when he went to Linglong Painting Boat at the beginning. He didn't use his real name, but became a beggar first, and then entered Linglong Painting Boat under a false name. And When Linglong Huafang was in distress, he must have escaped by swimming. He was just a dispensable servant, even if he escaped by swimming, the officers and soldiers would not deliberately investigate, they would only think that he was drowned."

Mr. Qin nodded straightly: "Xiaoyu's words are very reasonable... This Mr. Lu is not simple, he thinks far, and is careful, so he is not easy to deal with."

Gu Jinan asked Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, you told me this because...?"

Gu Jinli said: "Mr. Lu's matter will definitely be heard in court. I am a girl and it is not convenient for me to go to court. When necessary, only you, brother, can go by yourself."

Because of the secrets on his body, Mr. Qin will definitely not go to court.

"Mr. Lu is tricky and difficult to deal with. He will definitely deny it vigorously at that time. You just need to kill him and sell yourself into Linglong Painting Boat under a false name, and then swim and escape."

"If he denies it, he will use the excuse that he can't swim..." Gu Jinli laughed: "Then let the county magistrate try him on the spot. When he is dying, even if Mr. Lu doesn't want to admit it, he will instinctively admit it." Swim to save yourself."

Mr. Lu is a ruthless man, and he might save the Lu family with his death.

But when a person is dying, his body's instincts will be higher than his own brain's thinking. At that time, as long as Mr. Lu swims, his lies will be self-defeating.

Gu Jinan nodded straight when he heard it: "Don't worry, little fish, brother will remember."

Mr. Qin has been listening by the side, and when he heard this, he glanced at Gu Jinli. This girl is very smart, sometimes she is not as smart as a half-grown child... Erlang hates Xiaoyu very much, and thinks that Xiaoyu will harm Saburo and make Sanlang lose his wife. clan help.

But Saburo's reply was very tough, and he also liked that part of Saburo's reply.

Whether you marry a wife or not, it depends on who you marry. If you marry an ungrateful person or a fool, you might as well marry a smart and capable country girl.

Two quarters of an hour later, Mr. Xue returned to the main room in the front yard and said to them, "Let's go."

A group of four people sat in a mule cart and ran towards the county town.

It was already dark now, and there was a curfew in the county seat. Fortunately, Shang Xiucai followed Jiang Xianwei to find the county magistrate Xu, and informed the county magistrate that Mr. Lu was a fugitive slave.

County magistrate Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, and felt that the Gu family was really a lucky general. Since he met them, the credit was given to him one by one.

The county magistrate Xu immediately asked Mr. Tian to bring his handwriting to pick him up at the city gate.

Shang Xiucai also came along with Bantou Yang and Luo Wu, and when he saw a mule cart approaching on the tower, he immediately asked, "But Brother An?"

Hearing Shang Xiucai's voice, Gu Jin'an said happily, "Sir, it's a student."

Shang Xiucai was overjoyed and immediately informed Master Tian.

Master Tian asked the soldiers guarding the gate to open the city gate, and Gu Jinan and the others were able to enter the city.

As soon as the mule cart came to a stop, Master Tian asked, "Did Xue Mingyu bring it?"

Gu Jinan bowed to Master Tian, ​​and said, "Report to Master Tian, ​​Grandpa Xue is in the car."

"Okay." Master Tian said: "Let's go, let's go to the yamen."

It's not easy for a girl in Gu Jinli to go to the Yamen. When passing by Jiang's Mansion, she was sent to Jiang's Mansion to rest.

Mrs. Jiang knew that she hadn't eaten, so she called her to her yard and had a meal.

While they were eating, Gu Jinan and the others had already arrived at the county government office and met the county magistrate Xu.

When County Magistrate Xu saw Gu Jin'an, he laughed and said, "You are the youngest of the Gu family, you are not bad, you are a good-looking talent, with the beauty of magnolia and green bamboo."

Gu Jin'an hurriedly bowed to the magistrate, and said respectfully: "The students paid homage to the magistrate, and the magistrate praised him absurdly."

County Magistrate Xu was very happy to see that he was not only good-looking, but also well-educated, and his attitude was even more humble.Otherwise, he really wanted to recruit Gu Jin'an as his son-in-law.
