A lucky wife born again from a farm family

Mr. Qin knew that they came here overnight and must be very concerned about this matter. Without delay, he told them how he found out that Mr. Lu was a runaway slave and what happened back then.

"What was Mr. Lu's name when he was painting the boat in Linglong?" Gu Jinli asked.

Mr. Lu had two names. He used to be called Lu Zhudan. After he became rich, he changed his name to Lu Xiangfu. But they didn't know what name he used when he was painting boats in Linglong. Mr. Xue didn't say it in the letter.

Mr. Xue thought for a while and said: "He doesn't have a name. He is just a handyman. All the handymen in Linglong Huafang all start with the character Huai and use numbers as their names. His name is easier to remember. He is called Huai Shiliu. I heard my master call him Huai Si Liu."

Gu Jinli asked again: "Then what was his name before he sold himself to Linglong Boating? Did you know?"

Mr. Xue shook his head: "I'm not sure. I just know that Huai Siliu was a beggar in the city before he entered Linglong Huafang. After living in the city for a few months, he sold himself to Linglong Huafang without asking for a penny. "

"Many of the servants on Linglong Huafang are here like this, and Huafang will not investigate them in depth. Mr. Lu is a very inconspicuous person in Linglong Huafang. He just does odd jobs, flatters the guests, and sometimes gives him free gifts. When guests return home, they sometimes swim to please them in exchange for rewards.”

He added: "Servants like Huai Siliu and the others are indispensable little people in Linglong Huafang. It is difficult to remember them."

Gu Jinli frowned when he heard this: "It would be too easy for a person like this to escape when Linglong Huafang encounters a disaster."

She thought of something and immediately asked Mr. Xue: "Grandpa Xue, you said Mr. Lu and the others would swim for the guests. Didn't many people drown while swimming for the guests' pleasure?"

Mr. Xue nodded: "Indeed, those who do this must swim according to the requirements of the guests. Those guests are all children of wealthy families. They are obsessed with life and do not pay much attention to human life. Many guests will let them swim. People holding their breath in the water are used to make bets to see whether the swimming time you bet will be longer or the swimming time I bet will be longer. Because of this kind of competition, the handyman in the painting boat will die every month Two or three more.”

After listening to this, Gu Jinli had already guessed Mr. Lu's method of escape.

Finally, she looked at Mr. Xue and said, "Grandpa Xue, we need witnesses. Please come with us to the county government office so that you can identify Mr. Lu."

Mr. Xue didn't want to go, but Gu Jinli had helped him and was very kind to him. After hesitating for a moment, he finally agreed: "You guys wait a minute. I want to go back to see the young master and arrange things at home before I can go." Come with you."

Naturally, Gu Jinli and the others would not stop him, and said hurriedly: "As always, please do as you please, we are waiting for you."

Mr. Xue nodded and went to the backyard.

And Gu Jinli told Gu Jinan his guess: "Mr. Lu set up a trap when he first went to Linglong Painting Boat. He did not use his real name. Instead, he first became a beggar and then used a false name to enter Linglong Painting Boat. And When Linglong Huafang was in trouble, he must have escaped by swimming. He was just a dispensable servant. Even if he escaped by swimming, the officers and soldiers would not bother to investigate and would just treat him as drowned."

Mr. Qin nodded immediately after hearing this: "Xiaoyu's words make sense...this Mr. Lu is not simple. He thinks far and is thoughtful, so he is difficult to deal with."

Gu Jinan asked Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, are you telling me this because...?"

Gu Jinli said: "Mr. Lu's matter will definitely be tried in court. I am a girl and it is not convenient for me to go to court. If necessary, you can go alone, brother."

Mr. Qin will definitely not go to court because of the secrets he carries.

"Mr. Lu is very tricky and difficult to deal with. He will definitely deny it when the time comes. All you have to do is kill him, use a fake name, sell yourself into Linglong Boat, and then swim away."

"If he denies it, he will definitely use the excuse that he can't swim..." Gu Jinli laughed: "Then let the county magistrate try him on the spot. When he is dying, even if Mr. Lu doesn't want to admit it, he will instinctively Swim to save yourself.”

Mr. Lu is ruthless and may die to save the Lu family.

But when a person is dying, his body's instinct will be higher than his brain's thinking. At that time, as long as Mr. Lu swims, his lies will be self-defeating.

Gu Jinan nodded when he heard this: "Don't worry, Xiaoyu, big brother will remember it."

Mr. Qin had been listening by the side. He glanced at Gu Jinli when he heard this. This girl is very smart, sometimes she is not as smart as a half-grown child... Erlang hates Xiaoyu very much. He thinks Xiaoyu will harm Sanlang and make Sanlang lose his wife. clan help.

But Saburo's reply was very tough, and he also liked Saburo's reply very much.

Whether you are a wife or not, it all depends on who you marry. If you marry an ungrateful person or a fool, you might as well marry a smart and capable country girl.

Two quarters of an hour later, Mr. Xue returned to the main room in the front yard and said to them, "Let's go."

A group of four people took the mule cart again and ran towards the county seat.

It was already dark now, and there was a curfew in the county. Fortunately, Shang Xiucai had followed Jiang County Lieutenant to find Magistrate Xu, and informed Magistrate Xu that Mr. Lu was a runaway slave.

County Magistrate Xu was overjoyed after hearing this. He felt that the Gu family was really blessed. Ever since he met them, their achievements had been piled on his head one by one.

Magistrate Xu immediately asked Master Tian to take his handwritten letter to the city gate to pick him up.

Shang Xiucai also came with Yang Bantou and Luo Wu. On the tower, he saw a mule cart approaching and immediately asked, "But Brother An?"

Gu Jinan heard Shang Xiucai's voice and said happily: "Sir, he is a student."

Shang Xiucai was overjoyed and immediately informed Master Tian.

Master Tian asked the soldiers guarding the gate to open the city gate, and Gu Jinan and the others were able to enter the city.

As soon as the mule cart stopped, Master Tian asked, "Did you bring Xue Mingyu?" This was a witness, and nothing could be done without him.

Gu Jinan bowed to Master Tian and said, "Master Tian, ​​Grandpa Xue is in the car."

"Okay." Master Tian said, "Let's go to the Yamen now."

It was not easy for a girl in Gu Jinli to go to the Yamen. When passing by Jiang Mansion, she was sent to Jiang Mansion to rest.

Mrs. Jiang knew that she had not eaten, so she called her to her yard and had a meal.

While they were eating, Gu Jinan and the others had arrived at the county government office and met Magistrate Xu.

When County Magistrate Xu saw Gu Jinan, he laughed and said, "You are the youngster of the Gu family. You are not bad. You are a talented person, with the beauty of magnolia and green bamboo."

Gu Jinan hurriedly bowed to the County Magistrate and said respectfully: "Students pay homage to the County Magistrate. The County Magistrate is extremely complimentary."

County Magistrate Xu was very happy to see that he was not only good-looking, but also knowledgeable, and his attitude was even more humble. Such a young man was very rare, but it was a pity that he came from a poor background, and his family had poor legs for several generations. Otherwise, he really wanted to recruit Gu Jin'an as his wife's son-in-law.
