Mr. Lu was very frightened. He stared at Mr. Xue and was very puzzled. Who is this Xue Mingyu? How do you know this rule of Linglong Huafang?

The rule of engraving words on the back shoulder for servants is the secret of Linglong Boat Painting. Except for the people who paint Linglong Boat Painting, it is impossible for outsiders to know.

Seeing that Mr. Lu was confused, Mr. Xue simply let him know: "I have two names. The first name was given by my parents, and it is called Xue Mingyu; the other name was given by Mr. Fu, and I call him Fu Fusheng. My family lives in Jinling Mansion."

He added: "The matter of Linglong Painted Boat carving words on the back shoulder of the subordinates was originally a secret, but after the accident of Linglong Painted Boat, it was no longer a secret. You were not the only one who escaped back then. The official of Fucheng Yamen once After half a month of searching in Jinling City, I found a runaway slave with an inscription on his shoulder."

After Master Tian heard this, he hurriedly said to County Magistrate Xu: "Sir, please verify it in court."

Magistrate Xu nodded, pointed at Mr. Lu and said, "Here, take off Lu Xiangfu's clothes and see if there are any scars on his back shoulders?"

"Yes." Luo Wu and Yang Xiaoyamen stepped forward, one held down Mr. Lu, and the other used a saber to cut the clothes on Mr. Lu's back. With a hiss, they tore off a piece of the clothes on Mr. Lu's back, revealing... half of the clothes on Mr. Lu's back. The scar on the back comes.

When Yang Xiaoyamen saw it, his face turned pale with fright. He hurriedly let go of Mr. Lu's hand, pointed at his back and said, "Sir, sir... there are many scars."

Upon seeing this, Luo Wu frowned and turned Mr. Lu in a different direction so that the magistrate could see Mr. Lu's back.

County Magistrate Xu, Master Tian, and County Lieutenant Jiang all saw Mr. Lu's back covered with scars, and they all frowned... This Lu Xiangfu is a ruthless man. In order to cover up the three engraved words on his back, he actually scarred half of his back. Hurt, if you don't have a little bit of strength, you really can't do it.

Magistrate Xu cleared his throat and nodded seriously: "Village Chief He is right. In order to prevent Lu Xiangfu's children and grandchildren from absconding, I have decided to take everyone in the Lu family into custody, including the children born to daughters of the Lu family."

After saying that, he looked at Zou Xian Cheng, who was pale with anger, and asked with a smile: "Master Zou, do you have any objection? I act according to the law."

The criminal law of Dachu stipulates that in order to prevent fugitive slaves from escaping again, fugitive slaves and their children can be temporarily detained until the evidence is conclusive before sentencing.

Zou Xiancheng was so angry that there was blood in his mouth... When he just received the news, he felt that Mr. Lu might be unjust. After all, Da Chu strictly manages people's household registration. Even if you can escape from the master's house, you will wait until you return to your hometown. Finally, others can follow the household registration you gave when you sold yourself.

It is impossible to escape even if you want to.

How did you know that Mr. Lu was a beggar who pretended to have no father, no mother, and no household registration, so he entered the Linglong Painting Boat directly. In this way, even if Mr. Lu escapes back to his hometown, there is no registered address for him at Linglong Huafang, so it will be difficult to find him.

One more thing, the scar on Mr. Lus back...the scar on half of his back, do you think everyone else is a fool? When Xue Mingyu said that Mr. Lu had carvings on his back, he also left a scar on half of his back. Everyone knew that he did it on purpose!

Zou Xiancheng wanted to help Mr. Lu for Zou Yuzhen, but now, how can he help?

Master Shao had already said from the side: "The county magistrate is naturally the most impartial in handling cases, and my boss will not have any objections."

He also said: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, my boss has been in poor health recently. It is not appropriate to work too much. I will take my leave first."

Witnesses, escaping by swimming, and intentional injuries on his back have all proved that Mr. Lu is a fugitive slave. The county magistrate has already sent people to Jinling Mansion to get the slave registration book. As soon as the book arrives in ten days, The Lu family would have to be registered as slaves. This matter is a done deal, and Zou County Cheng can't save it, so it's better to leave quickly to avoid being implicated by the Lu family.

County Magistrate Xu smiled and said: "Mr. Zou is old, and it is normal for him to be sick. Go back and rest early. There is no need to worry about the affairs of the county government. There are so many scribes in this government office, and they are all capable. I will definitely handle the official affairs properly for Mr. Zou."
