Chapter 399: Nobleman
The two subordinates, a man and a woman, the man is already in his old age, and the woman is about the same age as Mama Han.
The two were escorted by officials from Jinling Mansion.
In addition to these two subordinates and a team of officials from Jinling Mansion, there were also two teams of people who followed to the county government of Tianfu County.
These two teams are the Zheng family of the Jiangnan Wang clan and the official family.
After Xu Xianling learned that the Zheng family was following the official family, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground: "Zheng, the Zheng family is following the official family...... Come, someone?! ”
Master Tian hurriedly helped Xu Xianling up and said, "Yes, my lord, both families are here, and all of them are the eldest grandsons." ”
Grandson, grandson!
The eldest grandson of the family is the future head of the family, and the Zheng family followed the official family to send Lin's eldest grandson, what do you want to do?
Xu Xianling's legs were weak: "Brother Tian, is it that the judge of this case is not very good, and these two families have come to investigate?" Aren't the two of them enmity? It's not going to start a fight in our Tianfu County, right? If there is a fight, who are we going to help? Eh, why is there so much to do in handling cases?! ”
Xu Xianling is a brave person, he has always pursued stability, and would rather not make great achievements, but seek no fault, and pass his term of office in peace. But when it comes to transfer, why did so many things happen? Even the two major families in Jiangnan have recruited him, and these two families are still relatives of the emperor...... This, he was afraid.
Master Tian is very helpless, can he, a classmate and Dong Weng, be bolder?
"My lord, the Linglong Painting Boat suffered because of these two families, and these two families also made enemies because of the Linglong Painting Boat. Now it seems that there will be an accident in the Linglong Painting Boat back then, and there may be another hidden secret, otherwise the two families would not have sent someone here. ”
The one who sent it is still the eldest grandson who can represent the two families.
"Brother Tian is right, it seems that there should be something else hidden in the events of the year." Xu Xian Ling stabilized his mind, finally stood firm, and asked, "Who is receiving the two distinguished guests?" Can you notify Mr. Jiang? He's in charge of detention, so he's got to come. There are also people from the Gu family and the Xue family, they have to send someone to bring the people from their two families, in case the distinguished guests want to see them, it is not good to see them not in sight. ”
Ten years ago, after the Lu family was imprisoned, the Gu family, the Shang family, and the Xue family went home, originally thinking that there was no need to call them again, but now that there are distinguished guests, it is better to call them.
Master Tian said: "Don't worry, Master Yu is already entertaining distinguished guests outside. Lord Jiang has already informed him that he is an old and spicy man, and he has already sent someone to invite the people from the Gu family and the Xue family when he wants to come. Don't worry about that, just go out to greet your guests. ”
Xu Xianling hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and took Master Tian and a few subordinates to the gate of the county government to greet the distinguished guests who came from afar.
Shangguan Zhuo and Zheng Ying were both under twenty years old, dressed in gorgeous brocade robes, with a face like a crown of jade, and a tall and tall noble son, the two of them sat in a wide and gorgeous carriage, with nearly twenty servants, and stopped in front of the county government gate, blocking the main street of the county government gate.
The two didn't expect the streets in the county seat of Tianfu County to be so narrow, and when they saw that their cars and horses were blocking the road, they hurriedly asked the accompanying steward to dismiss their subordinates and make a road open for the street.
Before they came, they were all confessed by their respective grandfathers, and they came here to find the truth of the year, not to disturb the people.
The people of Ketianfu County had seen such battles, and when they saw such a good carriage and a group of well-trained servants, they all gathered around and pointed to the carriageway: "Eh, who is sitting in this carriage?" With such pomp and circumstance, isn't it a noble person? ”
A peddler with a basket squeezed over and laughed: "You can pull it down, in this shabby place in Tianfu County, what noble people can come?" There are a lot of people who have come to ...... This is probably someone from the county order Da Rao's family. ”
Someone retorted, "Ahhh The county magistrate is a farmer, can there be such a carriage at home? Look at the treasure cover on the carriage, eh, it's a jewel, listen to my relatives in the city, that colored gem is always valuable. ”
"Eh, are you looking down on the prefectural magistrate? As the saying goes, a year to clear the prefect's mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, although the county magistrate is not the prefect, but he has been a county magistrate for many years, the silver is still a little, why can't the family afford to sit in such a carriage? ”
As soon as Xu Xianling came out, he heard this, and he was almost angry, and the peasants who pointed at those words almost scolded his mother...... Okay, okay, do they think his life is better, and they won't stop if they don't kill him?
Master Yu hurriedly shouted: "The county is a heavy place, idlers are not allowed to watch, it's about to disperse, it's scattered!" ”
The officials of the county government hurriedly came to drive people away, but because of the presence of the distinguished guests, they did not want to be too rude, and they tossed for half an hour before they drove away the people who surrounded the gate of the county government.
Xu Xianling's new official uniform, which he had just changed, was so frightened that the entire official uniform was soaked with sweat, and hot sweat was dripping on his forehead, and he said to Shangguan Zhuo and Zheng Ying: "The two sons came from afar, and they missed the welcome. ”
Although the identities of these two Rao are precious, Xu County Commander has not yet dizzy and claimed to be a subordinate official, after all, the two of them are just famous and famous, and they have no official position.
Shangguan Zhuo and Zheng Ying gave Xu County Commander a return salute: "Lord Xu is polite, we are here this time, mainly for the matter of Linglong Painting Boat and fugitive slaves. ”
The two pointed to the two old people behind them: "These two people were the descendants of the Linglong Painting Boat back then, and they knew most of the people who were Linglong Painting Boat, please ask the county order to arrange for them to recognize people." ”
Xu Xianling was shocked, he didn't expect these two families to be more anxious than him, it seems that Master Tian is right, there should be another hidden story about the Linglong painting boat back then, the two families will send their eldest grandson to come, is they anxious to know who the fugitive slave is? I want to find out the truth about the year from the fugitive slave.
Xu Xianling hurriedly said: "The two sons, please, this official will arrange for them to recognize people." ”
Xu County's order immediately brought the two sons, the head of the squad sent by Jinling Mansion, and the two old men into the county government.
The two sons did not go to the back office, and sat directly in the public court, and Jiang County Lieutenant had already brought Yang Bantou, Luo Wu and several other officials to come.
After Xu Xianling saw him, he directly asked him to take the head of the squad and the two old subordinates to the prison, and asked them to identify the old man Lu in the prison.
When the two old men saw Old Man Lu, they were stunned for a moment, and after carefully identifying them, they nodded at County Lieutenant Jiang: "It's very similar to Huai Siliu." ”
However, in order not to recognize the wrong person, they still have to try again.
"Zhu Wazi!" The old man suddenly shouted at the old man Lu in the cell.
Old man Lu was falling asleep in a daze, and when he heard this long-lost name, he opened his eyes and looked at the soil who called him: "What are you shouting, the old man has long stopped calling this beggar by his name." ”
The old man smiled and said: "I know, when you want to eat, you will be called Zhu Wazi, and after you enter our Linglong Painting Boat, you will be called Huai Siliu." ”
Old man Lu was excited, he was completely sleepy, he thought of something, and hurriedly denied it: "Hu Jacket, what a delicate painting boat, what Huai Siliu, the old man doesn't know!" ”
