Chapter 399 The noble man

There are two servants, a man and a woman. The man is already an old man, and the woman is about the same age as Aunt Han.

The two of them were escorted here by officials from Jinling Prefecture.

In addition to these two servants and a group of official officials from Jinling Prefecture, two groups of people followed to the Tianfu County government office.

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

When County Magistrate Xu learned that the Zheng family was following someone from the official family, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground: "Zheng, the Zheng family is following the official family...here, someone is coming?!"

Master Tian quickly helped County Magistrate Xu up and said, "Yes, sir, people from both families are here, and they are all the eldest grandsons."

Hand, eldest grandson!

The eldest grandson of a large family is the future head of the family. The Zheng family follows the official family and sends the eldest grandson here. What does it want to do?

Magistrate Xu's legs were weak: "Brother Tian, is it possible that this case was not judged well by the judge, and these two families came to investigate? Don't they have a grudge? They won't fight in our Tianfu County, right? ? If a fight breaks out, who are we going to help? Hey, why is there so much to do in just one case?!"

County Magistrate Xu is a timid person. He has always pursued stability. He would rather not have great achievements, but strive to have no mistakes and pass his term safely. But when I was transferred, why did so many things happen? He even recruited two major aristocratic families from Jiangnan, and these two aristocratic families were relatives of the emperor... He was afraid of this.

Master Tian was very helpless. Could his classmate and fellow student be more courageous?

Sir, Linglong Huafang was in trouble because of these two families, and these two families also became enemies because of Linglong Huafang. Now it seems that there may be some hidden reason why Linglong Huafang was in trouble, otherwise the two families would not have sent people.

The person sent can still represent the eldest grandson of the two families.

"Brother Tian is right. It seems that there must be another hidden story about what happened back then." Magistrate Xu calmed down, finally stood up and asked: "Who is receiving these two distinguished guests? Have you notified Mr. Jiang? He is the supervisor Those who are under detention have 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 will not look good if they are not around. "

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

Master Tian said: "Don't worry, sir, Master Yu is already out entertaining the distinguished guests. Master Jiang has already notified you. He is a seasoned man. I think 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 your distinguished guests.

County Magistrate Xu quickly tidied up his clothes and took Mr. Tian and a few servants to the gate of the county government office to welcome the distinguished guests from afar.

Shangguan Zhuo and Zheng Ying are both under the age of 20. They are dressed in rich clothes and robes, with faces like jade and upright figures. They are sitting in a large and gorgeous carriage, accompanied by nearly 20 servants. It stopped in front of the county government gate, blocking the main street of the county government gate.

The two of them did not expect that the streets in Tianfu County were so narrow. Seeing that their carriages and horses were blocking the road, they hurriedly asked the accompanying steward to send the servants away to clear a path for pedestrians on the street.

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

But the people in Tianfu County had seen such a battle, such a good carriage, and a group of well-trained servants. They all gathered around and pointed to the carriage path: "Hey, who is sitting in this carriage?" ? With such a grand ceremony, could it be that some noble person has come?"

A vendor carrying a basket squeezed over and mocked: "You can pull it off. How can a noble person come to a poor place like Tianfu County? There are quite a few victims of the disaster... I guess this is someone from the county magistrate's family." .

Someone retorted: "Ah! The county magistrate is a farmer. How can he have such a carriage at home? Look at the treasure cover on the carriage. Oh, that is a gem. I heard from my relatives in the city that there is such a carriage. Colored gems are always worth a lot of money.

"Hey, are you looking down on the county magistrate? As the saying goes, a year of cleaning up the prefecture is worth one hundred thousand snowflakes. Although the county magistrate is not a prefect, he has been a county magistrate for many years, so he still has some money. How can he sit at home? Can't afford this kind of carriage?" As soon as County Magistrate Xu came out, he almost got angry to death when he heard this. He pointed at the farmers who were talking and almost cursed... Okay, okay, they think his life is easier. , wont you stop until you kill him?

Master Yu hurriedly shouted: "This is an important place of the county government. No one is allowed to watch. Let's disperse soon. Let's disperse!"

The officials from the county government hurriedly came to drive people away. However, due to the presence of the distinguished guests, they could not drive them too roughly. It took them only half an hour to drive away the people who had surrounded the gate of the county government office.

Magistrate Xu had just changed into a new official uniform. He was so frightened that the whole official uniform was soaked with sweat. Hot sweat dripped from his forehead. He said to Shangguan Zhuo and Zheng Ying: "The two young masters have come a long way, and they are not welcome at all." .

Although the status of these two people is valuable, maybe the county magistrate is not confused enough to call himself a subordinate official. After all, they only have the title of civil servants and have no official positions.

Shangguan Zhuo and Zheng Ying bowed to County Magistrate Xu in return: "Mr. Xu, you are very polite. We are here mainly for the matter of the escaped slaves at Linglong Painting Boat."

They pointed at the two old servants behind them and said: "These two were the servants of Linglong Painting Boat back then. They recognize most of the people in Linglong Painting Boat. Please ask County Magistrate Xu to arrange for them to recognize them."

County Magistrate Xu was shocked. He didn't expect that the two families were more anxious than him. It seemed that Master Tian was right. There must be something hidden about the Linglong Boat Painting. The two families would send their eldest grandson because they were anxious to know who the escaped slave was. who? Want to find out the truth from the escaped slaves.

Magistrate Xu hurriedly said: "Two gentlemen, please invite me. I will arrange for them to recognize you."

Xu County Magistrate immediately brought the two young masters, the squad leader sent by Jinling Prefecture, and the two old servants into the county government hall.

The two young masters did not go to the back office, but sat directly in the court hall. Jiang County Lieutenant had already arrived with Yang Bantou, Luo Wu and other small government servants.

After County Magistrate Xu saw him, he directly asked him to take a squad leader 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 confused for a moment. After carefully identifying him, they nodded to Jiang Xianwei: "It looks very much like Huai Siliu."

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

Zhu Wazi! The old man suddenly shouted to Mr. Lu in the cell.

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

The old servant smiled and said: "I know, your name is Zhu Wazi when you beg for food, and you are called Huai Siliu after you enter our Linglong Huafang."

Mr. Lu was agitated and lost all sleep. He thought of something and hurriedly denied it: "That's nonsense. I don't know about the exquisite boat or the Huai 46!"
