Chapter 12: Miscalculation

When Lu Wen found Chang Hongzhao, Chang Hongzhao had just had lunch.

In the living room, Chang Hongzhao didn't speak, just drank tea quietly, and Lu Wen also didn't speak, just frowned at him, trying to dig out some useful information.

In fact, Chang Hongzhao's current behavior has conveyed a lot of things.

After all, it was his son who was imprisoned, and Lu Wen took the lead in breaking the silence and asked, "Lord County, I don't know what Xiao'er has done, and the yamen wants to detain him?"

Chang Hongzhao slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "Adulterous women, and hurting people!"

Lu Wen sneered: "Is there any evidence for saying that the child is adulterous and adulterous? Is the bitter master still there? You can let her come out to confront the child in court! The county lord is aware of everything, and must not be deceived by the people!"

Chang Hongzhao smiled and said: "I don't believe in these things here, but since people have been arrested, they still want to go through the court!"

"Do you still want to go to the hall?" Lu Wen's voice suddenly rose, and he laughed angrily: "Don't you want to be the Lord of the Blue Sky?"

Chang Hongzhao looked displeased, frowned and said, "Master Lu's words are not right! If Master Lu is really innocent, how can I ask for my life for the people?"

Lu Wen didn't care about his words, and said directly: "Don't give me an official tone! Let's talk straight, what do you want?"

When Chang Hongzhao heard this, he reacted, his face was slightly surprised, and he asked, "Did Master Lu inquire about what happened last night?"

"If I knew, would I still come to ask you?" Lu Wen was angry and roared in a low voice: "You caught the person, without your nod, then Haifeng dared to touch the people of my Lu family?"

Chang Hongzhao suddenly realized that Lu Wen didn't know that the Qian family was beating him in secret, and he actually took all his anger out on himself.

It's just that why didn't the Qian family come forward to make conditions to the Lu family after doing all this? Even if the time has not come, it is still necessary to notify them! Otherwise, what is the use of you beating people?

I can't figure out the purpose of the Qian family, but there is no need to carry this black pot!

So, Chang Hongzhao frowned and said, "Master Lu, I was in Yixiao Building last night......"

As soon as Chang Hongzhao spoke, a person broke in at the door.

"Old ...... "But it's the porter in the front yard.

"What's going on? I still don't understand the rules!" Chang Hongzhao, who was interrupted by his subordinates, was furious.

"Old ...... Sir, outside the door...... ...... outside the door"

The old porter was a little anxious, this person has been with Chang Hongzhao for many years, and he is very eye-catching, and because he has, he understands the meaning of the two people at the door at the moment.

For this reason, he, who has always been calm, rushed in in a hurry regardless of the rules......

Similar to the county government in many places, the county government of Jiaxing County is also the pattern of the former government and the back house, but Jiaxing is a rich county, the area of the county government is not small, Chang Hongzhao is a person who is used to style, soon after taking office, he built a wall between the front office and the backyard, and opened a magnificent gate on the side of the backyard, so that the office and the living place are completely separated.

It is that this originally small backyard has also been repaired by Chang Hongzhao to the extreme, with two entrances before and after, a cloister painting wall, a strange stone rockery, and the beauty of the Jiangnan garden.

At this moment, outside the gate facing the imright, Qian Jingwen, the head of the Qian family, was looking at the son of the Wu family in front of him with great interest.

"I didn't expect to meet Brother Wu here, did Brother Wu also come to see Lord County?"

The son of the Wu family is named Wu Wenhong, the third in the family, and the son of the long house.

Wu Wenhong replied with a smile: "When you come to Jiaxing, you always have to meet your parents and officials, but Brother Qian, as the head of the family, how can he be as idle as the younger brother?"

Qian Jingwen smiled, thinking about the purpose of Wu Wenhong's coming here today, the reason that the other party said, Qian Jingwen would not believe it, he chose to come to the door today because of Lu Wengui's matter last night, but he didn't know why the other party wanted to get involved and what role he would play.

Originally, Qian Jingwen and Wu Wenhong had already talked about the cooperation between the two families, and in order to stabilize the Wu family, the Qian family lost a lot of interests, but it was not much.

But now that Qian Jingwen has decided to show favor to Ryukyu, if the Wu family stands on the opposite side of him, then it is impossible to say that the previous negotiations will fail.

Qian Jingwen was thinking about Wu Wenhong, and similarly, Wu Wenhong was also pondering the purpose of Qian Jingwen's visit.

The two are considered a cooperative relationship, but there is such a thing in front of them, and the two families have new thoughts, but this kind of thing is naturally impossible to publicize everywhere, and the two sides who don't know each other can only smile and greet, and just talk about it.

After a short time, the porter went back and welcomed the two in.

In the living room, looking at the two people who entered the door, Lu Wen, who was sitting upright, looked puzzled.

Chang Hongzhao hurriedly got up and greeted him, with a smile on his face: "Haha, I don't know if your guests are coming, I miss the welcome, forgive my sins!"

Wu Wenhong is just a son of the Wu family, just a white body, although Chang Hongzhao is only a county order, but his confidence is not weak, but he will not act like this, Chang Hongzhao is so aimed at Qian Jingwen, the head of the Qian family.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, but Lu Wen just watched coldly.

The Pinghu Lu family is naturally inferior to the Qian family in Yangzhou, and Lu Wen is only a son of the Qian family, so it is said that facing Qian Jingwen, the head of the Qian family, should not be so big. It's just that today is Lu Wengui's matter, Lu Wen already has a fire in his heart, seeing that Qian Jingwen is in charge of the Jiangdong Wang clan at such a young age, and he is a generation old, but he can only endure hardship, where will he feel good in his heart?

After entering the door, Qian Jingwen glanced at Lu Wen lightly, Lu Wen's eyes came, and the two looked at each other and nodded to say hello.

After everyone sat down again, the impatience on Lu Wen's face became heavier.

Chang Hongzhao was also suspicious of the arrival of Wu Wenhong and Qian Jingwen, and seeing that the scene was stiff, he was ready to break the deadlock from Wu Wenhong, a junior.

"Today's ......"

Unbeknownst to him, Wu Wenhong actually said in advance: "Oh! I have something to trouble Master Chang when I come down today!"

"Oh?" Chang Hongzhao was a little puzzled.

It's okay if there's something going on, but I just chose to come at this time, I'm afraid it means something, right?

Chang Hongzhao is not a stupid person, seeing the smile on the corner of Wu Wenhong's mouth, he has some plans in his heart.

Sure enough, Wu Wenhong slowly turned his gaze to Lu Wen on the opposite side, and chuckled: "Come down today...... It's for the sake of complaining!"

"Sue?" Chang Hongzhao turned his head to look at Lu Wen, and then looked back again.

"Yes!" Wu Wenhong nodded with a smile and replied: "Originally, I should have gone to the yamen to beat the drum and voice the grievances according to the rules, but the defendant is also a figure with a head and a face, so it is really inappropriate to make such a fuss to everyone!"

"Who are you going to sue?" Chang Hongzhao asked.

Wu Wenhong replied lightly: "The second son of the Lu family, Lu Wengui!"

"What did you say?" Lu Wen on the other side was originally furious by him, but now that he heard it, he naturally became angry.

"I want to sue Lu Wengui Gongzi for instructing the strongmen of the rivers and lakes to kidnap the concubine and have bad intentions!" Wu Wenhong kept a shallow smile on his face, and after taking out a written document from his arms and handing it to Chang Hongzhao, he continued: "This is the case that was rushed out last night, and there is another person and material evidence!"

As he spoke, he completely ignored Lu Wen, who was pale-faced on the other side, shook his head and sighed lightly: "It's a shame to say! When I married that little concubine, I only invited three or two friends to witness it, and I kept it in a foreign house, thinking that it would be more convenient to go later, but I never thought that I just invited Lu Gongzi to meet him that day, and Lu Gongzi would do such a virtuous thing!"

After a look of regret and shock, Wu Wenhong changed to righteousness and awe-inspiring: "Although the concubine is not married to the Ming media, but also a member of the family, Lu Gongzi's actions are not only chilling, but also violate the laws of the imperial court, Chang Daren is a parent official in Jiaxing, and the matter is also in your Jiaxing, of course I have to come to Chang Daren to seek justice for me!"

As he spoke, Wu Wenhong actually stood up and bowed to Chang Hongzhao!

Chang Hongzhao's face was expressionless, but his slightly wide eyes were full of shock and doubt, and Qian Jingwen, who was sitting on the side, had a hint of intriguing thinking in his eyes.

"Heh! I really didn't expect Wu Gongzi's eloquence to be so good!" Lu Wen gritted his teeth after hearing everything.

Wu Wenhong raised his head, turned to look at Lu Wen, and said with a straight face: "Uncle Lu Shi's words are not right! Our two families are originally families, if it is just an ordinary thing, but now Brother Lu Shi's actions are really chilling, even if I am willing to forgive him, the law of the country cannot tolerate him!"

Seeing that the anger here was about to rise, Chang Hongzhao hurriedly changed the topic and asked Qian Jingwen, "I don't know where Brother Qian came......

In Chang Hongzhao's view, Wu Wenhong is just a young and frivolous wealthy son, and it is common for him to be jealous for beautiful women, don't look at what he says now with a resolute and sworn face, as long as the confrontation behind him is negotiated, it will naturally stop.

And the purpose of the Yangzhou Qian family to come to Pinghu Chang Hongzhao is known, and there can be beating, but after all, there is a degree, otherwise the two families will not be able to talk.

As the chief official of Jiaxing, he naturally doesn't want to make a big deal when he encounters such a matter, and if he can solve it privately, he will solve it privately.

The current situation seems to be very complicated, but in Chang Hongzhao's opinion, it should just be something that happened between the three families, so that there was a deadlock in the secret communication, and the matter had to be put on the bright side.

As for Haifeng's justice, there is also the Ryukyu Festival that came out of nowhere, and the envoy is naturally not within the scope of the county lord's consideration.

Giant beasts, what do you have to do with ants?

Chang Hongzhao doesn't want to get involved in such a bad thing, and he doesn't want to be a knife in someone's hand, taking advantage of the fact that everyone is here now, Chang Hongzhao is ready to take the initiative to pick things away.

You have something to talk about you, don't involve Lao Tzu!

However, today's events are destined to shock Chang Hongzhao to the end!

Qian Jingwen smiled slightly, looked at Lu Wen and said, "I came here today to complain......
