Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 140
[For book friend Dao Sheng He Jiageng, tomorrow will add a chapter for book friend Panda]

Zhang Zhe participated in the delivery of the former prefect in the suburbs, but in Taolin County, the gate of the Zhang family was full of excitement.

The seven chariots and horses bought from the government office had already been harnessed, and the nineteen servants who were going to Xijiang to join the old master had already boarded the cart with their luggage.

Zhang Wuliu was listening to Mrs. Qin's talk in the yard, and he was also carrying a package on his back. This time, he was leading the team to Xijiang.

"Your lord's certificate and the road sign of the government office have been taken with you, and you will not be able to come back without one of them!"

"Of course it's all ready."

"Be careful on the road!"

"Don't worry, these are the old men of the Meng family. Mr. Lang also invited six bodyguards to accompany him. The surroundings are all surrounded by Mr. Yan's chariots and horses. There are twenty yamen servants and thirty soldiers as escorts. The head of the squad and the head of the army had a drink together the day before yesterday. You just look at that kid and tell him not to disgrace you at the inspection station!"

Lady Qin straightened her husband's clothes, and finally asked him in a low voice.

"You must be careful with the banknotes given by the gentleman, and don't expose your wealth on the way!"

Zhang Wuliu also took a deep breath, and quietly touched the interlayer of his belt, where there was a whole thousand banknotes of Jiangnan Tongchang, which were for Mr. Lang and Mrs. Meng to honor the master of the Meng family.

He knew very well that even if the entire convoy was lost, this silver ticket would definitely not be lost.

Even the six well-known bodyguards in Wuling County hired by Zhang Zhe were not actually protecting those chariots and companions, but Zhang Wuliu, who was carrying a huge sum of money.

A group of chariots and horses meandered out of the alley and headed straight for the county town, where they would join the team of the Yan Mansion and set off on the road together, heading for Xijiang.

In front of the Zhangjiamen, which was noisy just a moment ago, it is now closed in broad daylight.

It was because a small sedan chair was parked by the door. The sedan chair and the bearer were used to pull jobs on the street, and there was a maid beside the small sedan chair.The maid was still holding a huge wooden box in her arms, and she poked her head towards the gate of Zhang's house.

In the crack of Zhang's gate, Bai Lu was talking to Bai Ying about the people outside, gnashing his teeth.

"Couldn't it be that the girl next to Chen Yuangu, Jin Hong, has a vulgar name and even vulgar names! In the past, every time she followed Chen Yuangu to Meng's house to play the autumn breeze, she would not look at me, and would only curry favor with Qiu Que. Meng's family was in trouble. , They couldn't wait to add insult to injury, returned the piano but took the good nanmu piano case to pawn the money. Now holding this piano case, it is obviously redeemed, just want to find the old lady to return."

Bai Ying was the Zhang family's maid when she first entered the house, and she didn't have the shadow of the Meng family on her body, so she didn't have much ill feeling towards the uninvited guests outside the door.She was just worried that the eldest lady's complexion would become extremely bad after hearing the report.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Chen Yuangu lived like a year.

How could she have thought that Meng Xiaowan could turn herself out of the quagmire?She obviously married the person she didn't like the most, a well-known prodigal son, but who knew that she was actually an immortal in a poem.

From the head of the child's examination to the top of the government examination, he has a close relationship with the Huo family in the county, and even climbed to the high branch of the strict prefect in the county.This family has only been working for a few months, and it is also shaking.

She didn't want to come here at first, but her mother-in-law and husband forced her hard.Especially her husband, Guo Shusheng, still dreams of sitting and talking with Zhang Xinzhi.

This time she bought the piano box as a dowry, in order to impress Meng Xiaowan.I want Meng Xiaowan to see her past affection, "Forgive her for being lost once."

Chen Yuangu thought, as long as she entered Zhang's house, she would be [-]% sure to get things done.

But after hearing that she was coming, the door of the Zhang family was tightly closed.

After a while, the door opened again.

Chen Yuangu and the maid Jin Hong were overjoyed, but they were shocked to see that the two maids carried a Yaoqin out the door and threw it casually on the street.

There was another nanny whose surname Chen she vaguely remembered took a pot of oil and poured it on the Yaoqin, and the whole piano became a raging fire when the fire was thrown away.

The door was knocked loudly, and four or five yamen servants from the county knocked on one of the wood gates in turn.

Unfortunately, the owner is not at home here.

Only his parents and the new concubine hid in the room, not daring to come out.

The leading yamen servant found a stool from the neighbor's house, sat obliquely in front of the door, and ordered his subordinates to take turns to knock on the door.

All the surrounding people shut their doors tightly, and no one dared to go out to visit.

They only discussed at home: What kind of official trouble did Li Yulou get into?A group of vicious government servants came from the county to seek his bad luck.

When the head of the yamen servant was getting impatient, one of his subordinates saw someone approaching from a distance, pointed at him and said, "Look, boss, isn't that person Li Yulou?"

Surrounded by a group of servants from the government office, Li Yulou was also in a state of confusion.I was still thinking wildly in my heart, could it be that Mr. Lu's affairs involved him again?

The leader of the squad gave Li Yulou a smirk: "Li Yulou, you committed a crime!"

Li Yulou suppressed his fear and smiled as an apology.

"Several servants, one is Li Yulou from Taolin Academy, I don't know why I am looking for you?"

"Taolin Academy? Hehe," the head of the class pursed his lips, and smiled even more viciously, "Scholars really have the most fancy intestines, and even the runaway slaves of officials dare to hide them!"

Li Yulou felt relieved and answered immediately.

"I'm afraid the poor man made a mistake, how can I hide the escaped slaves of the official family?"

"Oh, this guy still doesn't recognize you?" A yamen servant laughed, "The fugitive slave has been in your house for more than a month, and you have taken her as a concubine. This month, that slave has been serving you for nothing. Turn your face and deny it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yulou's face turned pale.

He knew he was talking about Qiuque, but Mr. Lu greeted him privately and asked him to bring him home.Mr. Lu is dead, this account has indeed become a muddled account.

But Li Yulou also quickly realized that without Mr. Lu's endorsement, Qiu Que was really a fugitive official slave!
The chai gate was shattered, and Li Yulou sat in the mud with disheveled hair, his eyes glazed over.A group of yamen servants did not take Qiuque away immediately, but asked Li Yulou to take out ten taels of silver a month later as the "foot money" of everyone.

The leader of the team also warned Li Yulou not to think that everything would be fine after sending the bird away, and they would come to check every month after that.This can be regarded as completely blackmailing Li Yulou.

A group of yamen servants walked a long way, and one of them asked the boss curiously.

"Boss, when will it be our turn to intervene in the matter of the official servants? Also, can this Li Yulou really come up with ten guan?"

"Hey, do you care if he can take it out?" The boss laughed, "I had a drink with Zhang Wuliu of the Zhang family the day before yesterday. He told me about this, I was just entrusted by others. "
