Knowing that they had come overnight, Master Qin must have been very concerned about this matter, so he did not delay, and told them how he found out that Master Lu was a fugitive slave, so he did not delay, and what happened back then.
"Who was Master Lu's name when he was on the Linglong Painting Ship?" Ask Gu Jinli.
Master Lu had two names, he used to be called Lu Zhudan, and he changed his name to Lu Xiangfu after he became rich, but they did not know what name he used when he was on the Linglong Painting Boat, and Master Xue did not say it in the letter.
Mr. Xue thought for a moment, and said: "There is no name, he is just a handyman. Linglong Huafang craftsmen always start with Huai characters, and use numbers as their names. Her name is more memorable, called Huai 46 , I heard my master call her Huai Siliu."
Gu Jinli asked again: "Then what was his name before he sold himself to the Linglong Painting Ship? Do you always know?"
Xue Lao shook his head: "I'm not sure, I only know whether Huai Siliu entered or not. Before Linglong Huafang, he was a beggar in the city. After living in the city for a few months, he sold himself to Linglong Huafang without asking for a dime. "I'm not going.
" to investigate them. And Master Lu was the very inconspicuous type of person on the Linglong Painting Ship. He just does homework and then flatters the guests. Sometimes he would send guests home, and sometimes he would swim to please the guests in exchange for gifts "
He said again: "Servants like Huai Siliu and the others are the little ones who can be ignored in Linglong Huafang. It's hard to remember them. "
When he faced a disaster, it was too easy for him to escape."
He thought of something, and immediately asked Mr. Xue: "Grandfather Xue, you said that Master Lu and the others will swim to show the guests, are they many?" People drown while swimming for the pleasure of their guests?
Mr. Xue nodded: "Indeed, those who work for them should swim according to the needs of the guests. Those guests were children from noble families. They spend their lives in luxury and money, and do not 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 if you bet on the time of swimming or I bet on the time of swimming. Because of this kind of competition, the artisan on the painting boat would die every month Go to two or three."
After hearing this, Gu Jinli had already guessed what Master Lu's escape method was.
Finally, he looked at Mr. Xue and said, "Grandfather Xue, we need witnesses. Please come with us to the local government, so you can go out and identify Mr. Lu. " Mister Xue doesn't want to go, but Gu Jinli
help Pass through it, show great kindness, hesitate for a moment, and finally agree: "Wait a minute, I want to go back and see the young master, and I can go with you after I arrange the affairs of the house." Of course, Gu Jinli and the others
not going to block it, he hurriedly said: "Please, we are waiting for you."
Master Xue nodded and went to the backyard.
And Gu Jinli told Gu Jin'an his guess: "Master Lu made a good play when he went to the Linglong Painting Ship at the beginning. He did not use his real name, but became a beggar first, and then entered the Linglong Painting Boat with a fake name. And when Linglong was in trouble, he must have escaped by swimming. He was only a servant that could be thrown away, even if he escaped by swimming, the officers and soldiers would not intentionally investigate, they would only think he was drowning." Qin
Lao Hearing this, he nodded his head: "Xiaoyu's words are very reasonable ... This Master Lu is not simple, he thinks far, and carefully, so he is not easy to deal with." Gu
Jin'an asked Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, why did you tell me this because...?"
Gu Jinli said: "Master Lu's matter will definitely be tried in court. I'm a woman, so it's not convenient for me to go to court. When necessary, only brothers can go alone." Due to the secret in his body, Master Qin would definitely not go to court
.
"Master Lu is cunning and difficult to deal with. He would definitely deny it vehemently at that moment. You just need to kill him and sell yourself to the Linglong Painting Boat under a fake name, then swim and escape."
"If he denies it, he'll use the excuse that he can't swim ..." Gu Jinli laughed: "Then let the county magistrate judge judge him on the spot. When he was dying, even if Master Lu did not want to admit it, he would instinctively admit it." Swim to save yourself."
Master Lu was a cruel man, and he probably died to save the Lu family.
Gu Jinan nodded when he heard it: "Don't worry, little fish, brothers will remember."
Elder Qin listened the entire time, and when he heard this, he glanced at Gu Jinli. This girl is so smart, sometimes so smart that she is not like a half-grown child ... He hates Xiaoyu a lot, and thinks that Xiaoyu will hurt Saburo and make Saburo lose the help of his wife and family.
But Saburo's reply was very harsh, and he also liked Saburo's reply part.
Whether you marry a wife or not, it depends on who you marry.If you marry an ungrateful or a stupid person, you are, You should marry a smart and capable country girl.
Two-quarters of an hour later, Mr. Xue returned to the main hall in the front yard and said to them, "Let's go."
The group of four sat on the mule wagon and ran towards the county town.
It was dark by now, and there was a curfew in the center of the government.Fortunately, Shang Xiucai followed Jiang Xianwei to find the county magistrate Xu, and told judge Xu that Master Lu was a fugitive slave.
District Judge Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, and felt that the Gu family was really a lucky general, since he met them, praise was given to him one by one.
District Judge Xu immediately asked Mr. Tian to bring his handwriting to pick him up at the city gate.
Shang Xiucai also came along with Yang Bantou and Luo Wu, and when he saw the mule carriage approaching the tower, he immediately asked, "But Big Brother An?" Gu Jinan heard
shang Xiucai's voice, and said happily, "Master, this is Student ."
Shang Xiucai was overjoyed and immediately told Master Tian.
Master Tian asked the soldiers guarding the gates to open the city gates, and Gu Jinan and the others could enter the city.
As soon as the mule wagon stopped, Master Tian asked, "Did Xue Mingyu take it?"
Gu Jinan bowed to Mr. Tian, and said, "Report to Mr. Tian, Grandpa Xue is in the car." "
Okay." Okay." Master Tian said, "Go, let's go to yamen."
It was not easy for a girl in Gu Jinli to go to Yamen When passing through Jiang's house, she was sent to Jiang's house to rest.
Madam Jiang knew that she had not eaten yet, so she called her to her yard and ate.
While they were eating, Gu Jinan and the others had already arrived at the local government office and met with the county magistrate Xu.
Looking at Gu Jin'an, County Judge Xu laughed and said, "You are the young man from the Gu family. You're not bad. You are a handsome talent, with the beauty of magnolia and green bamboo. " My lord
, your master the county magistrate praises you." District judge
Xu was very happy to see that he was not only handsome, but also learned, and his attitude was even more humble. Five generations of all mud-footed. Otherwise, he was eager to recruit Gu Jin'an as his son-in-law.
