Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 395

Mr. Lu was startled, staring at Mr. Xue, puzzled, who is this Xue Mingyu?How did she know the rules of Linglong Painting Boat?

The rule of engraving letters on the back shoulders is the secret of Linglong Painting Boat, and it is impossible for outsiders to know except the people of Linglong Painting Boat.

Seeing that Mr. Lu was puzzled, Mr. Xue simply let him know: "I have two names. The first name is given by my parents, and it's called Xue Mingyu; the other name is given by Mrs. Fu, and it's called Fu Fusheng. My family lives in Jinling Mansion."

He said again: "The matter of Linglong Huafang engraving letters on the back shoulders of the servants was originally a secret, but after the accident of Linglong Huafang, it is no longer a secret. You were not the only one who escaped back then. After half a month of searching in Jinling City, the fugitive slaves with lettering on their shoulders."

After hearing this, Master Tian hurriedly said to County Magistrate Xu: "My lord, let's verify in court."

County magistrate Xu nodded, pointed at Mr. Lu and said, "Come here, take off Lu Xiangfu's clothes and see if there is a scar on his back shoulder?"

"Yes." Luo Wu and Yang Xiaoyamen stepped forward, one holding down old man Lu, and the other cutting through the clothes on the back of old man Lu with a saber, and with a hiss, tore off a piece of the clothes on the back of old man Lu, revealing... A scar on the back.

When Yang Xiaoyamen saw him, his face turned pale with fright, he hurriedly let go of Mr. Lu's hand, pointed at his back and said, "My lord, my lord...a lot of scars."

Seeing this, Luo Wu frowned, and turned Old Master Lu in one direction so that the county magistrate could see Old Master Lu's back.

County Magistrate Xu, Master Tian, ​​and County Captain Jiang all saw Mr. Lu's back full of scars and frowned... This Lu Xiangfu is a ruthless person. Injury, if you don't have a little bit of ruthlessness, you really can't do it.

County magistrate Xu was very angry, pointing to Mr. Lu and asked angrily: "Lu Xiangfu, what's the matter with your back injury?"

Mr. Lu cried and said: "Master Qingtian, you have to decide for the villain. The villain is really not a fugitive slave of Linglong Huafang. The injury on the back of the villain is that when he went out to make a living, he was kidnapped by the robbers on the road. Stop, it was caused by dragging with a mule, if you don't believe it, you can find someone to examine the injury on the spot."

There are foremen in the yamen, but now there is no need to call out for an injury test. No matter how hard the test is, the three inscriptions on the back shoulder are gone, leaving only a large scar.

County magistrate Xu was so angry that his hands shook, but he was not an idiot after all. He slapped the gavel and said directly: "Lu Xiangfu, someone accused you of being a fugitive slave and gave evidence of the lettering on your back shoulder. Now the lettering on your back shoulder Although you are missing, the scar on half of your back is enough to prove that you are suspected of destroying the evidence of being a slave. In order to handle the case impartially, I am now temporarily taking you and your whole family into custody. , and then do fingerprint thread comparison.”

Old Master Lu was startled, and hurriedly said: "My lord, you have no evidence to prove that this old man is a fugitive slave, so you can't put this old man in prison!"

Snapped!

"Bold!" County magistrate Xu slapped the gavel and said angrily, "Now there are witnesses accusing you of being a fugitive slave. There are witnesses, but there is no physical evidence. This officer has the right to put you in prison. If you dare to make any noise, this officer Serious punishment!"

Mr. Lu's heart trembled, but for the children and grandchildren of the Lu family, he had no choice but to continue to shout: "My lord, you can put the villain in prison, but you can't put the old man's children and grandchildren in prison, they are innocent!"

"Bah, what's not guilty?" Village Chief He knelt not far away, and couldn't help hearing Mr. Lu's sophistry, pointing at him and scolding: "Now someone is suing you for being a runaway slave, a runaway slave! Ah, do you know what a fugitive slave is? A fugitive slave not only deserves to die, but also his children and grandchildren will be enslaved. Since they are your children and grandchildren, is there anything wrong with being locked up with you?"

Village head He squinted his eyes at Mr. Lu, and said with a chuckle, "Or do you want to delay the time and let them escape with the Lu family's wealth?"

Village Chief He hated Mr. Lu to death. Now that he knows that Mr. Lu may be a fugitive slave, it is absolutely impossible to turn Mr. Lu's family over, and he will beat Mr. Lu's family to death no matter what!

"My lord, Lu Zhudan is the most cunning. Don't let the rest of the Lu family go. If you let them go now, they will be able to escape from Tianfu County without waiting for dawn. Now the northwest side is not safe yet. There are many disaster victims, if they pretend to be disaster victims and flee to the northwest, they will escape disaster!"

When the magistrate Xu heard the words, he looked at Village Chief He with admiration. This old man is not very useless. At least these words have exposed Mr. Lu's plan.

The county magistrate Xu cleared his throat, nodded seriously, and said, "The village head He is right. In order to prevent Lu Xiangfu's children and grandchildren from absconding, I decided to take everyone in the Lu family into custody, including the children born to daughters of the Lu family."

After saying that, he looked at Zou Xiancheng, who was pale with anger, and asked with a smile: "Lord Zou, do you have any objection? I act according to the law."

According to the criminal law of the Great Chu, in order to prevent the fugitive slaves from escaping again, the fugitive slaves and their children can be temporarily detained, and the sentence will be pronounced after the evidence is conclusive.

Zou Xiancheng was already so angry that there was blood in his mouth... When he just received the news, he felt that Mr. Lu might have been wronged. After all, Da Chu strictly manages the household registration of the people. After you come back to your hometown, others can also find you by following the household registration you gave when you sold yourself.

It is impossible to escape even if you want to.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Lu pretended to be a beggar without father, mother and household registration, and went directly into Linglong Painting Boat.In this way, even if Master Lu fled back to his hometown, it would be difficult to find him without his address on Linglong Painting Boat.

There is another one, the scar on Mr. Lu's back... the scar on half of his back, do you think everyone else is a fool?When Xue Mingyu revealed that Mr. Lu had engraved characters on his back shoulder, he also got a scar on half of his back. Everyone knew that he did it on purpose!

Zou Xiancheng wanted to help Mr. Lu because of Zou Yuzhen, but how could he help now?

Master Shao had already said from the side: "The county magistrate handles the case naturally, it is the most public. My Dong Weng will not have any objections."

He said again: "Master County Magistrate, my Dong Weng has been in poor health recently, so he shouldn't work too hard, so let's take our leave first."

The witnesses, the escape by swimming, and the intentional injury on his back all proved that Mr. Lu was a fugitive slave, and the county magistrate has already sent someone to Jinling Mansion to get the booklet of slave registration. In ten days, when the booklet arrives, The Lu family had to be enslaved.This matter is a certainty, Zou Xiancheng can't save it, so let's go quickly, so as not to be implicated by the Lu family.

County magistrate Xu said with a smile: "Lord Zou is getting old, it's normal for him to be ill, go back to rest earlier, don't worry about the affairs of the county government office, there are so many clerks in this government office, all of them are capable, I will definitely handle the official affairs properly for Mr. Zou."
