Chapter 201 Su Wu's plan, disaster comes from the sky
Chapter 201: Su Wu’s plan brings disaster from heaven
"Su Wu?" Gao Bing frowned, um...yes, several of Gao Bing's main servants are all named Su. As for the reason...
After Su Wu spoke in a low voice for a moment, Gao Bing was stunned and asked, "Is this true?"
Su Wu laughed twice, "I don't dare to deceive the master even if I have the courage. Moreover, although this kind of thing is not known to everyone, as long as the master does a little verification, he can get the news!"
Gao Bian stroked his short beard and pondered for a moment, then asked: "Then what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Su Wu chuckled, "Master, I can't believe that this matter will still fall on Zhou Bida. Doesn't Magistrate Zhou always enforce the law impartially? In that case, let's see how he enforces the law."
"good!"
Gao Bian clapped his hands hard and said, "Su Wu, I will leave it to you to handle this matter. If you need manpower or money, I will ask the government to fully cooperate with you. If you succeed, then I will not only promise you and the maid
Regarding Cherry, how about I give you the surname Gao?"
When Su Wu heard this, he was stunned for a moment and then fell to the ground and kowtowed, "Don't worry, sir, even if I risk my life, I will help you handle this matter thoroughly."
In the rare leisure time in the Shen family's house, Shen Tang and Liu Xiangling took a stroll in the back garden. In the past two days, although some servants from the Duke of Na Chang's Mansion came to make trouble, Shen Tang didn't take it to heart. After all, this
I don't have any control over this matter, and it's not easy to control myself.
For a few days, Shen Tang was either chatting with Lu You or spending time with Liu Xiangling. He felt more comfortable than ever before.
"Husband, Xiangling never pursues any great wealth. As long as we can stay together like this forever, that is Xiangling's greatest happiness." Leaning in Shen Tang's arms, Liu Xiangling spoke softly, with tenderness on her face.
Gently hugging Liu Xiangling, Shen Tang smiled and said, "Don't worry, madam, as long as your husband is here, I will never let you suffer any injustice again..."
"master……"
At this moment, Qian Hong hurriedly came over and said, "Sir, someone from Lin'an Prefecture is here... saying there is something important."
There was no need for Qian Hong to say anything. Shen Tang had already seen more than a dozen government servants standing not far behind Qian Hong. He frowned slightly. Could it be the false accusation before?
"Xiang Ling, please sit here for a while!" Shen Tang said, and then he stood up and walked towards the government officials.
"I've seen you all, but I wonder why you are here?" Shen Tang asked.
The leading yamen servant also saluted and said, "Mr. Shen, I came here under the order of the prefect. I have a few questions that I would like to ask clearly."
"Please say!"
"Excuse me, Mr. Shen, is your wife's name Liu Xiangling?"
Shen Tang nodded and frowned slightly.
"So, Liu Xiangling is Liu Hongye's daughter?"
Hearing the officer's words, Shen Tang was suddenly shocked. He finally understood where the third fire started. Moreover, it burned directly to his weak spot! Moreover, Liu Xiangling's identity was also secret.
It's secret. If it's not secret, it only takes a little investigation to make it clear. Therefore, even if you want to hide it, you can't do it.
His expression changed for a moment, and Shen Tang asked slowly, "I don't know what this gentleman means by asking!"
The yamen servant did not hide anything, he just took out a piece of rice paper from his arms and continued: "Eight months ago, the court executed Liu Hongye for a crime, and also imprisoned a member of the Ying family. Unexpectedly, his daughter was
Lost. Now, we have received news that Liu Xiangling has become the wife of Mr. Shen. Therefore, we have been ordered to come and arrest her."
Without looking at it, Shen Tang knew that the order on the paper was true. Moreover, Shen Tang did not know exactly what happened to Liu Hongye. However, the guilt must have been set at the beginning, otherwise the whole family would not suffer. .If you say this, your wife is indeed guilty. However, this matter is indeed unreasonable. Xiangling was sold to Shanyin, which can be said to have been punished. However, he has no control over this kind of thing. Arguable.
Shen Tang's face changed, and he was thinking of countermeasures in his mind. Let them take Liu Xiangling away directly? Of course it's impossible. But, want to resist? The other party came with a clear car and horse, and it was still different from the original Lieniang Army. Did you resist it yourself? After all, you have never been above the laws of the country.
"What's wrong, dear brother!"
But it was Lu You who heard the commotion in the courtyard and hurried over.
After telling Lu You, Lu You was also shocked. What should I do?
"Everyone, I am an old friend of the prefect. I wonder if you can let me see the prefect first and ask why? If there is any misunderstanding, it will save you all trouble." Lu You said suddenly.
Of course the yamen officer knew Lu You, and the magistrate had taken the lead in giving orders to him. Otherwise, since he was taking someone, there would be no point in asking for directions.
Immediately, he responded: "That's how it should be! I'll wait outside the door and wait for your reply."
"Thank you, thank you!" Lu You quickly saluted.
Then he said to Shen Tang: "Brother Xian, you and I will go see the prefect first before we talk. Your sister-in-law will take care of you at home!"
Turning around, seeing Liu Xiangling and Tang Wan walking away, Shen Tang nodded and told Qian Hong, "Qian Hong, guard the door. No one is allowed in or out until I return!"
After the explanation, the government officials walked out of the courtyard directly, while Shen Tang and Lu You hurried towards the prefect's government office.
Speaking of which, this was Shen Tang's first time walking on the streets of Lin'an. However, he was so anxious at the moment that he had no time to pay attention to the surrounding scenery. The two of them walked quickly and arrived at the gate of the prefect's Yamen in a short time.
A servant at the gate went to report it, and a short while later, a boy came and said that the prefect was waiting in the hall.
"How can you, an old man, embarrass me, a wise brother of Shen Hall? Is it possible that you, Zhou Zichong, are also afraid of the Duke of Changguo?" Obviously, although the official positions of Lu You and Zhou Bida are very different, they are very different from each other. The relationship should be good. Therefore, before entering the door, he started shouting angrily.
"Brother Wu Guan!" As soon as he finished speaking, someone walked out of the hall.
This man was dressed in green clothes, had a short beard, and had square faces! He was Zhou Bida, the prefect of Lin'an. However, at this moment, facing the angry Lu You, he was smiling bitterly.
"Brother Wu Guan is happy and angry first. Is this Shen Jieyuan?" He smiled and waved away the boy, and personally pulled the two of them into the hall.
After sitting down, Lu You continued: "Zhou Zichong, today you are going to tell me why this is true. Do you want to help the tiger? If so, it is impossible to say that today we will cut off our robes and sever our ties. I, Lu Wuguan, cannot afford to make friends with you. High official!"
Zhou Bida personally poured tea for the two of them, and then said with a wry smile: "Brother Wu Guan, you and I have known each other for many years, don't you still know my nature? Although the Changguo Duke's Palace is powerful, I may not be afraid of it. Yes, but I also have some unavoidable reasons."
"Please tell me the reason, sir. Shen Tang is very grateful!" Seeing that Zhou Bida was not going to deal with it, Shen Tang just handed over his hand and spoke.
