Master Lu was startled, looking at Master Xue, puzzled, who is this Xue Mingyu? How did he know the rules of the Linglong Painting Ship?
The rule of carving letters on the back shoulder was the secret of the Linglong Painting Ship, and it was impossible for outsiders to know of it except for the people from the Linglong Painting Ship.
Seeing Master Lu confused, Master Xue simply told him: "I have two names. The first name was given by my parents, and it was called Xue Mingyu; another name was given by Madam Fu, and was called Fu Fusheng. My family lives in the Jinling Mansion."
He said again: "The matter of engraving Linglong Huafang letters on the back shoulders of the servants was originally a secret, but after Linglong Huafang's accident, it was no longer a secret. You weren't the only one who ran away back then. One man, Fucheng Yamen, ransacked the city of Jinling for half a month in search of runaway slaves with inscriptions on their shoulders. "After hearing this, Mr. Tian hurriedly said to the County Judge
Xu: "Master, let's verify in court."
County Judge Xu Nodding, pointing to Master Lu Lu said: "Come here, undress Lu Xiangfu, see if there is a scar on his back shoulder?
" the clothes on Master Lu's back, and with a hiss, tore off a piece of clothing on Mr. Lu's back, revealing.
When Yang Xiaoyamen saw him, his face turned pale from fear, he hurriedly released Master Lu's hand, pointed at his back and said, "My master, my Master." Seeing this, Luo
Wu frowned, and made Old Man Lu turn his head in one direction so that the county magistrate could see Old Man Lu's back.
The District Judge Xu, Tuan Tian, and Captain of Jiang County all saw Mr. Lu's back full of scars and frowned ... This Lu Xiangfu was a cruel person. Injury, if you don't have a bit of cruelty, you really can't do it.
District Judge Xu was furious, pointed to Master Lu and asked angrily: "Lu Xiangfu, what's with your back injury?"
Master Lu cried and said: "Master Qingtian, you must decide on the villain. That villain really wasn't Linglong Huafang's fugitive slave. An injury on the criminal's back is that when he comes out to make a living, he is kidnapped by robbers on the street. If you don't trust me, you can ask someone to do an on-site checkup. "There is
gangsters in yamen, but there is no need to call an examination now, no matter how you examine it, the three inscriptions on the back shoulder will also be damaged, gone, leaving only a large scar.
District Judge Xu was so angry that his hands trembled, but he was not an idiot. He slapped the hammer and said directly: "Lu Xiangfu, someone accuses you of being a fugitive slave and gives evidence of the writing on your back shoulder Now the writing on your back shoulder Even though you are missing, You are missing, the scars on half your back are enough to prove that you are suspected of tampering with the evidence as a slave. To deal with this case impartially, I now take while you and your entire family are in custody. "
Master Lu was startled, and hurriedly said:" Milord, you have no evidence to prove that I am a fugitive slave, so you cannot put me in prison!"
Crack down!
"Brave!" District Judge Xu struck the hammer and said angrily, "There are now witnesses who accuse you of being a slave fugitive. There were witnesses, but no physical evidence. This officer has the right to imprison you. If you dare to make a fuss, this officer is Serious Torture!"
Old Master Lu's heart trembled, but for the sake of the Lu family's children and grandchildren, he had no choice but to continue shouting: "My master, you can put criminals in jail, you can put criminals in prison, but you can't imprison the parents' children and grandchildren, they're innocent!" "
He The village chief narrowed his eyes towards Master Lu, and said with a laugh," Or do you want to delay the time and let them escape with the Lu family fortune?"
The village chief He hated Master Lu to death, and now he knew that Master Lu might be a fugitive slave, it was absolutely impossible to hand over the old man Lu's family, no matter what, no matter what, he will beat old man Lu's family to death!
"My master, 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. There were many disaster victims, if they pretended to be the victims of the disaster and fled to the northwest, they would be spared from the calamity!"
Hearing this, judge Xu looked at Village Chief He in awe, this old man is not very useless, at least these words made Master Lu's plan come to light.
District judge Xu cleared his throat, nodded seriously, and said, "Village head He is right. In order to prevent Lu Xiangfu's children and grandchildren from escaping, this official decided to detain all members of the Lu family, including the children.
" Let's go, look at Zou Xiancheng, who was pale from anger, and ask with a smile: "Master Zou, do you mind? I acted according to the law." Da Chu's criminal law stipulates that in order to prevent fugitive slaves from escaping again, fugitive slaves can be temporarily detained
children are detained, and sentences will be pronounced after convincing evidence.
Zou Xiancheng was already so angry that there was blood in his mouth ... When he had just received the news, he felt that Master Lu might have been persecuted. After all, Da Chu strictly regulated the household registration of the people. Once you return to your hometown, others can also find you by following the household registration you provide when selling yourself.
It's impossible to escape even if you want to.
Unexpectedly, Master Lu pretended to be a beggar without the registration of father, mother and household, and went straight to the Linglong Painting Ship. This way, even if Master Lu escaped back to his hometown, it would be difficult to find him without his address on the Linglong Painting Boat.
There was another one, the scar on Mr. Lu's back ... The scar on half of his back, do you think everyone is a fool? When Xue Mingyu revealed that Master Lu had carved a character on his back shoulder, he also got a scar on half his back, everyone knew that he did it on purpose!
Zou Xiancheng wanted to help Master Lu because of Zou Yuzhen, but how could he help now?
Mr. Shao had said from the side: "The county judge handled the case naturally, and my Dong Weng would not mind." Him
also said: "Mr District Judge, my Dong Weng health has been bad lately, so it's inappropriate to work too hard, go first Goodbye."
The witnesses, fleeing by swimming, and the deliberate wound on his back all prove that Master Lu is a fugitive slave, and that he is a, and the county magistrate had sent someone to the Jinling Mansion to get the slave registration booklet. Within ten days, when his booklet arrived, the Lu Family had to be enslaved. This matter is certain, Zou Xiancheng cannot save her, so let's quickly leave, so as not to get involved with the Lu family.
District Judge Xu said with a smile: "Master Zou is old, it's normal for him to be sick, get back to bed early, don't worry about the affairs of the local government office, you know, you can't worry about the affairs of the local government, there are so many employees in this government.the office, all are capable, I will definitely handle official affairs well for Mr. Zou."
