Chapter 387: Night visit
Chapter 387 Night Visit
After Mr. Xue went back that day, he originally wanted to let go of the matter. After all, regardless of whether Mr. Lu was a runaway slave or not, what happened back then was in the past, and now Mr. Xue just wanted to raise Fu Yang well. Regarding the past things Son, I dont want to mention it again.
But he was a cautious person, so after he returned, he asked Ah Hu to quietly check on Mr. Lu, and found out that he actually had a grudge against the Gu Jinli family.
Gu Jinli was his benefactor, and his benefactors enemy was naturally his enemy. Mr. Xue wrote to Gu Jinli that Mr. Lu was a runaway slave.
But Mr. Xue was worried that the letter would be intercepted, so he did not write it in detail, and Mr. Xue did not say whether he had any evidence that Mr. Lu was a runaway slave.
However, even so, when Gu Jinli received this letter, he was still so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
Its true that God is helping her.
The hierarchical system in Dachu is as strict as the household registration system. If Mr. Lu is really the escaped slave of Linglong Huafang, then Mr. Lu will not only be sentenced to death for the crime of running away from slaves, but also the sons, daughters, grandchildren, and grandsons born to Mr. Lu My granddaughter will be consigned to slavery!
Catching them all in one go is nothing more than that.
Gu Jinli was very excited. Knowing that this matter could not be delayed, he immediately called Gu Jinan, and the two of them went to Qin's hometown.
Mr. Qin was fetching water and preparing to cook dinner. When he saw the brothers and sisters, he smiled and said, "Why are you here together? Is Brother Gu asking me to go to dinner again? I just went there yesterday. If I go back today, I won't have to do it anymore." Now that Im cooking, Ill just eat your food.
When the Qin brothers were not at home, the third grandfather would ask Mr. Qin to go home for dinner the next day.
Gu Jinli said: "What's the matter? As long as Grandpa Qin is willing, you can come to my house to eat from now on. However, we have other things to do when we come to you this time."
Mr. Qin looked at Gu Jinli's serious look, suppressed the smile on his face, and said, "You go and sit in the main room first."
They 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 uproot the Lu family, they needed the help of the Jiang family.
Mr. Qin looked at the sky and said with some worry: "Is it too early to leave now? If people in the village see me, they might startle them."
It is evening now, and everyone in the village is fetching water from the well in the middle of the village for cooking. Others are not fools. If they see a few of them going out at this time, they will be suspicious.
Gu Jinli smiled and said, "Grandpa Qin, don't worry. I've already thought of the excuse, which is to ask my brother to return the mule cart to Uncle Shang's house, while the two of us hide in the mule cart and no one will notice."
In the past few months, their family has borrowed the mule cart from Shang Xiucai's family several times, and things like returning the mule cart have happened from time to time. As long as they are not deliberately looking for trouble, there will be no suspicion.
Mr. Qin nodded: "Okay, let's set off now."
but
Mr. Qin said again: "We have to call your third grandfather, Tiezhu, and Yongzi first. We will definitely not be able to come back tonight. We have to keep them vigilant so that nothing happens.
"Hey, I'll call Third Grandpa right now." Gu Jin'an responded and ran to call Third Grandpa, Luo's father, and Wang Yongfu.
The reason why they are only called three of them is because the third grandfather is the highest-ranking male elder in the family and has always been in charge of the affairs of the family. Father Luo and Wang Yongfu are good at boxing and kicking, so both of them can resist. Those who live in trouble can protect several families at the end of the village when they go out.
As for the other people, Gu Jinli and Mr. Qin thought it would be better not to let them know about it yet. If too many people know, it is inevitable that they will not be able to keep the secret.
Not long after, Third Grandpa, Father Luo, and Wang Yongfu arrived.
Mr. Qin told them the matter: "The three of us will set off to handle this matter later. The end of the village will be left to you. Don't let this matter slip until we come back." You have to be careful when you go out, lest the Lu family hears anything."
The third grandfather was already shocked. He didnt expect An Geer to call them here to talk about such a big thing... Run away, runaway slaves. If he is caught, not only will Mr. Lu die, but the entire Lu family will be consigned to slavery.
The third grandfather's hands were shaking a little. It took him a while to suppress the shock and excitement in his heart, and he said to Mr. Qin: "Brother Qin, don't worry, take your two children with you. Leave the end of the village to us, and we will definitely guard the end of the village. Dont let anything happen to a few families.
