Chapter 389 Huai 46

Mr. Qin knew that they had come all night 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. Lus name when he was painting the boat in Linglong? Gu Jinli asked.

Mr. Lu has two names. He used to be called Lu Zhudan. After he became rich, he changed his name to Lu Xiangfu. But they didnt know what name he used when he was painting boats in Linglong. Mr. Xue didnt 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? Do 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.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

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 that Mr. Lu and his friends 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."

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.

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

Xu County Magistrate immediately asked Master Tian to go to the city gate to pick up the person with his handwritten letter.

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

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 already arrived at the county government office and met County 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 quickly bowed to the county magistrate and said respectfully: "Students pay homage to the county magistrate. The county magistrate was very complimentary."

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