Chapter 1,204: Rescue the Lu family, the world wakes up
Summer passes and winter comes, and there are two spring and autumn in a blink of an eye.
Today has just passed the Double Ninth Festival.
Su Mingzhe received a letter from the county magistrate and immediately sent someone to find his elder brother.
The two brothers continued to suppress bandits everywhere and had cleared the entire mountains, rivers and rivers of Pei County.
Su Mingzhe accumulated military merit and is now a public official, ranking seventh among the Qin nobility.
Su Dafu has fallen a little short, and now he has the title of "Doctor", ranking fifth among the Qin nobility.
According to the current title, the two brothers share a total of sixteen hectares of land, sixteen homesteads, and an annual salary of six hundred and fifty dan.
With such a rich net worth, the two brothers built a "Juxian Village" to collect abandoned children from the private sector and educate and train them every day.
Nowadays, the entire Pei County and even the entire Sichuan County know the name of the "Su Brothers".
Even if the scope is expanded, travelers from Qi, Chu, and Jin are often known to come to visit.
Not long after.
Su Da rushed over and as soon as he entered the door, he laughed and said:
"Second brother, do you want to have a drink with me when you come to me at noon, or do you want to kill those brats in Leize Lake?"
"Brother, be silent!"
Su Mingzhe looked at his eldest brother who had a huge change in temperament, patted his forehead, and then said:
"Today we are not going to fight or kill, but we are going to Dang County to pick up someone!"
When Su Da heard that it was not about suppressing bandits, he immediately lost interest. He sat down boldly, picked up the drink on the table, raised his neck, drank it, and then asked:
"What do you want to pick up?"
Su Mingzhe handed the letter from Magistrate Cao to Su Da and said:
"There is a letter from Magistrate Cao, asking us to help him go to Shanfu in Dang County to pick up a friend. The locals call him 'Lv Gong'. This Lv Gong has a good reputation and is also a famous person in the local area."
Su Da asked again:
"When and how many people are going?"
Although Shanfu County belongs to Dang County and Peixian County belongs to Sichuan County, in fact the two counties belong to Linxian County, and the county seats are only two hundred together.
If you travel on horseback, you can reach it in one day.
"We'll set off right away. I'll just take Wu Shang and Zhou Bo with me."
Su Mingzhe explained his plan and then warned:
"Brother, Shan's father is not far away. He will be back in three to five days at most, or two or three at least. You stay at home and watch those boys so that they don't slack off. When I come back, I will check their study progress!"
It is now the ninth year of the First Emperor, and there are only three or four years left before Zulong dies.
In order to cope with the coming troubled times, Su Mingzhe took the adopted boys with him every day, practicing three days in the summer and three nines in the winter, never slacking off.
"Don't worry, second brother, those brats won't make it to heaven!"
Had lunch.
Su Mingzhe took his two retainers, Cao Wushang and Zhou Bo, and set off. They first crossed the Sishui River and then rode towards Shanfu County.
Zhou Bo was originally a craftsman who made a living by playing the flute and playing dirges during funerals.
Last year, he was won over by Su Mingzhe, and together with Cao Wushang, he was brainwashed into becoming a die-hard loyalist of Su Mingzhe and became a retainer of the Su family.
Under Su Mingzhe's training, both of them are now capable of defeating hundreds of enemies.
When night falls.
The three of them rushed to the end of the field.
Instructing Zhou Bo to guard the horses, Su Mingzhe took Cao Wushang with a grappling hook and climbed into the city.
Not long after, the two came to the gate of Lu Mansion.
At this moment, the Lu Mansion was already in chaos. Faced with the unexpected guests, no one greeted them.
In desperation, Su Mingzhe stopped a few people and asked, only to find out that the Lu family had offended the powerful officials in the county, and the Lu family and his son had already scattered and escaped from the four city gates early this morning.
After hearing this, Cao Wushang suddenly felt embarrassed:
"Master, the Lu family has escaped, should we just go back here?"
"Didn't you listen to what they said? The Lu family dispersed and fled through the four city gates."
Su Mingzhe reminded:
"We are coming from the east. Did you see any pedestrians along the way?"
Cao Wushang was not stupid and immediately guessed the reason:
"Master, what do you mean, the Lu family didn't escape at all, but were captured?"
Su Mingzhe nodded silently and said:
"I also hope they escaped, but we need to go to the county office to check first!"
Apart from the local magistrate, Su Mingzhe could not think of anyone who could monitor the Lu family's actions and arrest people quickly.
Not long after, the two rushed to the county government office.
The county government office in Daqin also faces north and south, and is located in the center of the main road in the middle of the county, which is particularly easy to find.
The cell where prisoners are held is on the west side of the county government office.
Because this is the direction of the white tiger, it can best suppress evil spirits.
The two men broke into the cell and knocked the four guards to the ground with three punches and two kicks.
Cao Wushang grabbed someone by the collar and asked fiercely:
"Where did you imprison the Lu family?"
The jailers were beaten to the point where their bones were broken and their tendons were broken, but they did not dare to speak harshly. They quickly pointed to a man who was tied to a torture device and said:
"Sir, the one who is tied up is Lu Ze, the son of the Lu family."
Su Mingzhe raised his head and looked at the tied man. He was about thirty years old. He had been whipped more than a dozen times, and his skin and flesh were already torn and bloody.
Su Mingzhe quickly took out a bottle of elixir from his pocket, took a bowl of water, dissolved it and fed it to the man.
Needless to say, the effectiveness of the elixir that Su Mingzhe refined himself is undeniable.
After Lu Ze drank the potion, he woke up after just a few breaths. When he raised his head, he cursed with a heavy breath:
"Thieves, even if you kill me, I will never reveal the whereabouts of my father!"
"What a man!"
Cao Wushang took out the dagger from his waist, swung it a few times, and cut off the rope that tied Lu Ze, and then he laughed and said:
"Master Lu, my master has been ordered to take your family to Pei County..."
Cao Wushang helped Su Mingzhe explain it.
After Lu Ze heard this, he was still a little confused and suspicious at first.
When Su Mingzhe took out Magistrate Cao's letter, Lu Ze quickly said:
"My benefactor, my sister Lu Huan was also captured by them and is being sent to Dang County now! Please benefactor, please take action quickly and rescue her!"
"It's not urgent, let's get you out first!"
When Su Mingzhe heard that Lu Ze's sister Lu Huan had been kidnapped, he thought it was the famous Lu Pheasant or Lu. He didn't dare to delay any more, and quickly picked up Lu Ze with Cao Wushang and fled outside the city.
After meeting Zhou Bo, Su Mingzhe asked Cao Wushang and Zhou Bo to escort the injured Lu Ze back to Pei County, and he rode towards Dang County to rescue Lu Huan.
at the same time.
On the way from Shan's father to Dang County, a group of officials in soap clothes were whipping a man in black.
I don’t know how long the fight lasted.
The chief official raised his hand and said:
"Stop, or I'll kill you if you hit me again!"
An official was still a little confused and said:
"Captain, this guy killed three of our brothers. Even if we can't kill him, why don't we let the brothers take off one of his arms to vent their anger?"
The captain glared at the subordinate, and when he saw that it was his brother-in-law, he said helplessly:
"This kid's father is the famous Lu Gong Lu Shuping. Lu Shuping offended the county governor's relatives. Even if we have to deal with this kid, it can only be decided by the county governor. If we accidentally kill him, then the county governor will Mamoru-sama has nowhere to vent his anger, so what if he throws fire on us?"
The captain's brother-in-law said indifferently:
"Captain, you are too careful. Didn't we also capture Lu Shuping's daughter, Lu Huan? This Lu Huan is as beautiful as a flower, and we presented this beautiful beauty. How could the county governor still return the favor?" Are you causing trouble for us?"
When the captain saw his brother-in-law talking nonsense, he had to wake him up and said:
"It's because this Lu Sui is so beautiful that I don't dare to let you do this!"
"Tell me, if this Lu Shuping becomes the father-in-law of the county governor, and the county governor lets the Lu family go regardless of past grievances, and the Lu family wants to settle old scores and cause trouble for us, who should we ask to reason with?"
After hearing what the captain said, the officers immediately became frightened.
