Chapter 399

There are two servants, a man and a woman, the man is already an octogenarian, and the woman is about the same age as Nanny Han.

The two were escorted by the officials of Jinling Mansion.

In addition to these two servants and a team of officials from Jinling Mansion, two other teams followed to the Tianfu County Government Office.

These two teams are the Zheng family and the Shangguan family, a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River.

When the county magistrate learned that the Zheng family followed the Shangguan family, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground: "Zheng, the Zheng family followed the Shangguan family... come, come here?!"

Master Tian hurriedly helped County Magistrate Xu up, and said: "Yes, my lord, both families have come, and all of them are the eldest grandsons."

Di, eldest grandson!

The eldest grandson of the aristocratic family is the future head of the family. The Zheng family and the Shangguan family sent the eldest grandson here. What do they want to do?

Magistrate Xu's legs were weak: "Brother Tian, ​​is it possible that this case was not judged very well by the judge, and the two families came to investigate? Don't they have a grudge against each other? They won't fight in our Tianfu County, right?" ? If there is a fight, who shall we help? Hey, why are there so many things to handle a case?!"

County magistrate Xu is a very timid person. He has always pursued safety, and would rather not make great achievements, but hope that there will be no faults, so that he can pass his term safely.But when it came time to be transferred, why did so many things happen?Even the two great families from the south of the Yangtze River have been recruited by him, and these two great families are still relatives of the emperor... This, he is afraid.

Master Tian is very helpless, can his classmate and Dong Weng be more courageous?

"My lord, Linglong Huafang suffered disaster because of these two families back then, and these two families also became enemies because of Linglong Huafang. Now it seems that there may be other secrets behind Linglong Huafang's accident, otherwise the two families would not have sent people."

The ones sent are still the eldest grandsons who can represent the two families.

"Brother Tian is right. It seems that there must be another hidden story behind the incident." County magistrate Xu stabilized his mind, finally stood up, and asked: "Who is receiving the two distinguished guests? Did you inform Mr. Jiang? He is the supervisor Those who are detained, he has to come. There are also people from the Gu family and the Xue family, they have to send someone to fetch their two families, in case the distinguished guests want to see them, it would be a shame if they are not here. "

Ten days ago, after the Lu family was imprisoned, the Gu family, the Shang family, and the Xue family went home. At first, they thought there was no need to call them in, but now that there are distinguished guests, it is better to call them in.

Mr. Tian said: "Don't worry, my lord. Mr. Yu has already entertained distinguished guests. Mr. Jiang has already notified him. He is a hot-tempered person. If he thinks about it, he has already sent someone to invite people from the Gu family and the Xue family. Don't worry about this, go out quickly Welcome the distinguished guests."

The county magistrate Xu hurriedly straightened his clothes, and took Master Tian and a few servants to the gate of the county government office to welcome the distinguished guests from afar.

Both Shangguan Zhuo and Zheng Ying were under [-], dressed in splendid robes, with a face like a crown jade, tall and straight noble sons, the two of them were sitting in a large and gorgeous carriage, with nearly twenty servants, and they were in a mighty manner. He parked in front of the gate of the county government, blocking the main street of the gate of the county government.

They didn't expect the streets of Tianfu County to be so narrow. Seeing that their carriages and horses were blocking the road, they quickly asked the steward accompanying them to dismiss the servants and clear a path for pedestrians on the street.

Before coming, they were all told by their grandfathers that they came here to find the truth of the year, not to disturb the people.

But the people in Tianfu County have seen such a battle, seeing such a good carriage, and a group of well-trained servants, they all gathered around and pointed to the carriageway: "Hey, who is sitting in this carriage?" ? Such a ostentation, could it be that some noble person is here?"

A peddler with baskets squeezed over and laughed and said, "You can pull it down. How can there be noble people in such a poor place like Tianfu County? There are quite a few victims here... I guess it's someone from the county magistrate's house." Bar."

Someone retorted: "Ah bah! The county magistrate is from a farmer, how can he have such a carriage at home? Look at the treasure cover on the carriage, hey, that is a precious stone. I heard from my relatives in Fucheng that there is no need for it." Gems of color are old and valuable."

"Hey, are you looking down on the county magistrate? As the saying goes, one year to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes in silver. Although the county magistrate is not a magistrate, but he has been a county magistrate for many years, he still has some money. Why do you sit at home? Excuse me for waiting for the carriage?"

Hearing this as soon as County Magistrate Xu came out, he almost died of anger. He pointed at the peasants who spoke, and almost scolded their mothers...Okay, okay, they think his life is easier, and they don’t want to kill him Let it go?

Master Yu hurriedly shouted: "The county government is an important place, idlers are not allowed to watch, it's time to leave, leave!"

The servants of the county government rushed to chase away the people, but because of the presence of distinguished guests, they couldn't do it too roughly. It took half a quarter of an hour before they drove away the people who surrounded the gate of the county government.

County magistrate Xu had just changed into a new official uniform. After being so frightened, the entire official uniform was soaked with sweat, and hot sweat dripped from his forehead. .”

Although the identities of these two people are valuable, County Magistrate Xu hasn't lost his mind yet and calls himself a subordinate official. After all, the two are just raising people for fame and have no official positions.

Shangguan Zhuo and Zheng Ying bowed to County Magistrate Xu in return: "Your Majesty Xu is very polite, we are here this time mainly for the escape of slaves on Linglong's painting boat."

The two pointed to the two elderly servants behind them and said: "These two are Linglong Huafang's servants back then, and they know most of Linglong Huafang's people, please ask county magistrate Xu to arrange for them to recognize people."

County magistrate Xu was shocked, he didn't expect these two families to be more anxious than him, it seems that Mr. Tian was right, there should be something else hidden about the matter of Linglong's painting back then, the two families would send their eldest grandsons here, because they were eager to know who the fugitive slave was who?He wanted to find out the truth about the year from the escaped slave.

The county magistrate Xu hurriedly said: "Young masters, please, I will arrange for them to recognize people."

The county magistrate Xu immediately brought the two sons, the leader of the team sent by Jinling Mansion, and the two old servants into the county government hall.

The two sons didn't go to the back yamen, they just sat in the courtroom, and Jiang Xianwei had already brought Yang Bantou, Luo Wu and other small yamen servants.

After county magistrate Xu saw him, he directly asked him to take the leader of the squad and two old servants to the prison, and asked them to identify Mr. Lu in the prison.

When the two old servants saw Mr. Lu, they were stunned for a moment, and after careful identification, they nodded to Captain Jiang: "It's very similar to Huai Siliu."

However, in order not to admit the wrong person, they still have to try again.

"Zhu Wazi!" The old man suddenly shouted at Mr. Lu who was in the cell.

Mr. Lu was falling asleep in a daze. Hearing this long-lost name, he opened his eyes, looked at the man who called him, and said, "What are you calling, I have long since stopped calling this beggar by his name."

The old servant smiled and said: "I know, when you beg for food, you are called Zhu Wazi, and after you enter our Linglong Painting Boat, you will be called Huai Siliu."

Mr. Lu was so excited that he didn't feel sleepy at all. He thought of something, and hastily denied it: "Nonsense, what Linglong Painting Boat, what Huai Si Liu, I don't know!"
