After Xue Lao went back, he originally wanted to let go of this matter, after all, no matter whether Old Man Lu was a fugitive slave or not, the things of the year had already passed, and Xue Lao now just wanted to raise Fu Yang well, and he didn't want to mention the previous things.

But he is a cautious person, and after he went back, he asked Ah Hu to quietly check on the old man Cha Lu, and knew that he actually had a grudge against Gu Jinli's family.

Gu Jinli is his benefactor, and the benevolent enemy is naturally his enemy, so Xue Lao wrote to Gu Jinli about the fact that Old Man Lu was a fugitive slave.

But Xue Lao was worried that this letter would be intercepted, so he didn't write it in great detail, and Xue Lao didn't have any evidence in his hands that could prove that Old Man Lu was a fugitive slave.

However, even so, when Gu Jinli received this letter, Gao Xin almost laughed out loud.

It's really the old man who is helping her.

The hierarchy of Da Chu is as strict as the household registration system, if Old Man Lu is really a fugitive slave from the exquisite painting boat, then Old Man Lu will not only be sentenced to death for the crime of fugitive slavery, but even the sons, daughters, grandchildren, and granddaughters born to Old Man Lu will be confiscated into slavery!

That's all there is to it.

Gu Jinli was excited, knowing that this matter could not be delayed, he immediately called Gu Jin'an, and the two went to Qin's hometown.

Qin Lao was carrying water and preparing to make dinner, and when he saw their brother and sister, he smiled and said, "Why are you here together?" Is Brother Gu calling me to eat again? I just went there yesterday, and I will go again today, and the old man will not have to cook in the future, and he will eat your family's food. ”

When the Qin brothers were not at home, the third grandfather called Qin Lao to go to the house for dinner.

Gu Jinli said: "What is this, as long as Grandpa Qin is willing, he will go to my house to eat in the future." However, we always came to you for something else. ”

Qin Lao looked at Gu Jinli's serious appearance, lowered the smile on his face, and said, "You go to the hall and sit first." ”

After that, there was wind under his feet, he walked to the kitchen with a load of water, quickly poured the water into the water tank, turned back to the hall, looked at Gu Jinli and said, "What is the matter?" ”

It's quite serious.

Gu Jinli handed Xue Lao's letter to Qin Lao: "Grandpa Qin, take a look." ”

Although Old Qin is old, his eyes are very good, after receiving the letter, he read it at a glance, his face was first surprised, and finally excited: "Okay, this Lu family's good days are over." ”

Qin Lao felt that Old Man Lu was a fugitive slave, and eighty percent of it was true.

When he first came to the village, because of the fact that Old Man Lu took the lead in bullying several of them, Old Man Qin checked Old Man Lu and learned that he had indeed gone out to beg for a living more than 40 years ago.

At that time, Mr. Lu's family was very poor and poor, so poor that he couldn't open the pot, but forty years ago, when Mr. Lu came back, he brought a lot of silver back, used the silver to pay off the debt, bought more than a dozen acres of land, and built a blue brick house.

Now that blue brick house has become the Lu family's subordinate room, where they live.

It's just that Old Man Lu was not satisfied, and felt that the days of having more than ten acres of land were hard days, so he sent Lu Meihua to the county mansion as a concubine, and the family became completely developed.

Now that I think about it, it should be when Mr. Lu was a slave, he saw the great wealth of Jiangnan, and he couldn't look down on the comfort of the dozen acres of land.

Gu Jinan had just washed his hands and face with cold water, and was dragged to the Qin family by Gu Jinli before he even drank a bowl of water, and before he had read the letter, he asked when he heard the words: "Grandpa Qin, what is written in the letter?" Why are you so excited about the fish? ”

"You didn't see it?" Qin Lao handed the letter in his hand to Gu Jin'an.

After Gu Jin'an finished reading it, his face changed greatly, and he wanted to laugh out loud, but he restrained himself and only said four words: "Lu family, it's over!" ”

Qin Lao shook his head: "It's been a long time, and it's not easy to confirm Old Man Lu's crimes." However, since the master has sent us such an opportunity, we have to fight, if it is done, we can uproot the Lu family, and we will be able to live in the village with peace of mind in the future. ”

Although the vitality of the Lu family is greatly damaged, the current Lu family is even a venomous snake, dormant in the village, and I don't know when I will bite them again, so I have to guard against it.

Gu Jinli nodded: "Grandpa Qin, this matter should not be delayed for too long, we have to solve it quickly, we will immediately leave to Uncle Shang's house, and then go to Hukou Town, go directly to see Xue Lao, ask him to help as a witness, and take the Lu family in one fell swoop." ”

went to find Shang Xiucai because Shang Xiucai was not only wise, but also the son-in-law of the Jiang family, and if they wanted to pull out the Lu family, they had to be helped by the Jiang family.

Qin Lao looked at the color and said with some worry: "If you leave at this moment, will it be too early, and if you are seen by the villagers, you may startle the snake." ”

It was evening now, and everyone in the village was fetching water from the well in the middle of the village to cook, and the others were not stupid, and they would be suspicious when they saw them going out at this time.

Gu Jinli said with a smile: "Grandpa Qin don't worry, the excuse I have already thought of, is to let my brother go to Uncle Shang's house to return the mule cart, and the two of us hide in the mule cart and don't come out, no one will find out." ”

In the past few months, their family has also borrowed Shang Xiucai's mule cart several times, and the matter of returning the mule cart has happened from time to time, as long as it is not deliberately faulty, they will not suspect it.

Qin Lao nodded: "Cheng, then let's set off now." ”

But......

Qin Lao said again: "You have to call your third grandfather and Tiezhu and Yongzi first, we will definitely not be able to come back tonight, we have to make them vigilant and don't have an accident."

"Eh, I'm going to call the third grandfather." Gu Jin'an responded, and ran to call the third grandfather, Luo's father, and Wang Yongfu.

Why only call the three of them is because the third grandfather is the most senior male elder in several families, and he has always been in charge of several families, and Father Luo and Wang Yongfu know kung fu, both of them can resist things, and can protect several families at the end of the village when they go out.

As for the others, Gu Jinli and Qin Lao felt that it was better not to let them know first. There are too many people who know, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to keep secrets.

Not long after, the third grandfather, Luo's father, and Wang Yongfu came.

Qin Lao gave them the matter: "We will leave to handle this matter in three hot moments, and the end of the village will be handed over to you, before we come back, you don't leak this matter, be cautious, so as not to be heard by the Lu family." ”

The third grandfather was already shocked, but he didn't expect Brother An to call them over for such a big deal...... Escape, escape slave, if this is caught, not only will Old Man Lu die, but the entire Lu family will be enslaved.

The third grandfather's hands were a little shaky, and it took a while to suppress the shock and excitement in his heart, and said to Qin Lao: "Brother Qin, you can rest assured that you will take the two children with you, and the end of the village will be handed over to us, and we will definitely guard the end of the village and prevent the families from having an accident." ”
