It was quiet inside the house.
Lu Qubing frowned and said nothing.
"Who else knows about this?"
"No one knows yet, Kou Liu just came back to report."
"How could it be them? How can they interact with these people?"
"They don't seem to be hiding. Maybe they will jump out on their own without us having to think too much."
Lu Qubing didn't dare to delay any longer. He stood up quickly and said, "Go to the county magistrate and ask him to stop everything and stop pursuing it. I will go find the county magistrate now!!"
Liu Taozi nodded.
Lu Qubing left in a hurry.
Kou Liu waited until he left and then said: "These thieves are not good people, but the Murong family often helps the people in the city. During the previous locust plague, Murong Zeng personally gave porridge to Xicheng, and I also ate it."
Eat his millet."
He looked at Liu Taozi and said, "I think the Murong family is probably doing harm to the people and it's not worth our while to investigate."
Liu Taozi narrowed her eyes and said faintly: "Small beasts eat people, and big animals also eat people."
"It's just that the way they eat people is different."
Kou Liu was confused when he heard this and didn't quite understand.
"I have to go to the county captain"
"As for you, first go and inform the brothers at each city gate. If there is anyone who has left the Murong family residence, send someone to inform them in time."
"After you give your instructions, go to their house to investigate."
"only."
Kou Liu turned around and left. Liu Taozi walked to the door, called Tian Zili, and ordered: "You stay in the mansion. If anyone comes to report to the official, welcome them to the courtyard. Don't let these dirty things affect your visit."
Everything about the government."
"only."
When Liu Taozi came to Changsun Gong, Lu Zhanshan was hanging on the beam. Changsun Gong waved the whip in his hand, making bursts of sound.
Liu Taozi's sudden arrival really ruined the other party's elegance.
Lu Zhanshan looked extremely scared, but even so, he still closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, showing no intention of giving in.
"What are you doing here? I didn't ask you to investigate."
"Come and report."
“So fast??”
The eldest grandson put away his whip, and Taozi stepped forward and informed the eldest grandson of the contents of the investigation.
"Murong??"
Changsun was shocked, his expression quickly turned ugly, and he looked up at Lu Zhanshan.
"I see."
"Is it because the county magistrate wants to push him away because of the big things he wants to promote? But aren't they afraid of being counterattacked?"
Lu Qubing ran all the way and finally arrived in front of Gao Changgong's residence. Just as he was about to go in, he was blocked by two soldiers.
"I have something important to report!!"
"Let him in."
Gao Changgong's voice came from inside, and the soldier just stepped aside.
Lu Qubing hurriedly walked in, "County Lord, me."
Gao Changgong sat on the upper seat with a smile and interrupted him, "Rongzu, don't be anxious, see the guests first."
Lu Qubing was stunned for a moment, then looked aside.
There are two people sitting on Gao Changgong's left hand side.
One person is young and very tall, but his skin is as white as snow. He looks a little sickly. He is sitting aside obediently with his head lowered.
The other man was older, dark and short, with a goatee and a kind smile on his face.
The two of them, one tall and one short, one white and one black, just sat there.
When he saw Lu Qubing coming in, the short man got up first and bowed with a smile, "Murong Zeng pays homage to Mr. Lu!"
The tall man also nodded and saluted Lu Qubing, "Greetings, Mr. Lu."
The short man was very enthusiastic, "The temple wants to promote talents to maintain peace and order. My young master is serving as the Huangmen in the court, so he recommended you to the nobles. Unexpectedly, you really became the county magistrate. It is really gratifying.
Congratulations!"
Lu Qubing was motionless at the moment, his mind was extremely confused.
The Murong family members have come over?
What? Who recommended me??
"Sit down."
Gao Changgong opened his mouth, and Lu Qubing sat on his right side blankly, unable to react yet.
Murong Zeng looked at Gao Changgong and said with a smile: "That's how it is."
"If you are willing, we can bring the person in and you can ask him face to face."
Gao Changgong nodded, "Okay."
A man was pushed in by several soldiers and knelt down in front of Gao Changgong.
"Caomin Lu Daguo, pay your respects to the county magistrate."
His voice was trembling.
Gao Changgong looked at him solemnly, "Tell me, what is going on?"
"Gao Gong, I was originally a tenant of Lu Zhanshan's family. My son was eager to learn and entered the county school. Lu Zhanshan often helped to take care of him, so he became friendly with him."
"Just two days ago, Lu Zhanshan suddenly found me."
"He said that there is a cruel official in the county named Liu Taozi, who is deeply favored by the county magistrate. He cannot do anything to him and wants my help."
"He said that he was going to host a banquet for Duke Murong, get him drunk, and then frame him for murder. He asked me to come to the county government to report Murong Gong to Liu Taozi, so as to force Liu Taozi to take action against Murong Gong."
"I was in the mansion that day and saw them getting Duke Murong drunk and asking the slaves to commit suicide. If the slaves refused, Lu Zhanshan would do it himself. As a result, the slaves became ferocious and started fighting with the people in the mansion. The guards wanted to protect the drunken people.
Murong Gong fought with them all the way, subdued them all, and then ran out of the mansion."
As the man spoke, he began to cry.
"Please spare my life, Lord County! What I said is all the truth!!"
Gao Changgong pursed his lips and looked at the smiling Murong Zeng.
"What this man said seems to be true." Murong Zeng immediately said seriously, "Of course it is true. If the county magistrate doesn't believe it, all my servants can testify."
"Murong Guang is the son of my master. He lost his father when he was young. He was raised by my master and he is regarded as his own son."
"After such a major incident, he became sick with worry and did not think about food and drinks. He has been under the care of doctors for several days."
Murong Guangbing sat aside in dismay. No matter what Murong Zeng said, he didn't react. It seemed to confirm what he said.
Gao Changgong still kept smiling as he looked at the sick young man.
"I also sent someone to check. Everyone was naked, and the female family members were also violated. I don't know if the slaves are too vicious."
"Disperse."
As soon as Gao Changgong finished speaking, Murong Zeng took out a small package and signaled to Gao Changgong.
"My gentleman has always been hospitable. When I learned that my friend was hosting a banquet, I took some with me to disperse."
Murong Zeng looked at him with a smile, "Mr. Gao County, you can call Lu Zhanshan and others again and ask them about their situation to see if they want to use Murong Gong to frame your cruel officials. You will know from this question."
The smile on Gao Changgong's face gradually disappeared.
"So that's it."
"County Lord, my gentleman has suffered a fright. Even the doctors dare not say that he will be cured. If something happens to him, I dare not bear the responsibility."
Murong Zeng looked at Murong Guang who was standing aside worriedly, "Therefore, I informed the head of the family and the young head of the family about what happened here."
"The master of the family is busy and hasn't replied to the letter yet. However, the young master of the family is a little confused. He doesn't quite believe in these things. When the temple sent you here, they thought that you were a stable person and could handle things safely and that you could bring peace to Chengan."
"He doesn't believe that you will use cruel officials to make the people of Cheng'an panic, and he will not hesitate to use frame-ups to resist."
"This is his letter to you."
He took out the letter from his arms, walked to Gao Changgong respectfully, handed it to him, and returned to his seat.
"If the county magistrate has no other instructions, I will leave with the gentlemen in my family?"
"good."
Gao Changgong held the letter in his hand and replied.
Murong Zeng supported Murong Guang and walked out carefully. The two of them walked towards the gate of the county government office. Murong Guang was shaky and his body looked very unbearable.
The two of them walked out of the county government office like this. Someone was waiting for him. Murong Zeng helped the gentleman get into the car, and the carriage rushed towards his mansion.
Murong Guang glanced at the other party secretly, "Uncle Zeng, I went too far."
"No problem. The gentleman took the powder at the time and was unconscious. There is no serious problem."
Murong Guang added: "I'm just afraid that my brother will blame me."
"Gentleman, don't worry. The young master is very satisfied with you. You can leave the rest to me. You just have to have fun. You can do whatever you want. Don't worry about the rest."
Murong Guang's eyes shone with an inexplicable light, his face became rosy, and he looked excited.
"Well, thank you. If you're willing, you can grab a few more village women."
"If you want a beauty, what kind of beauty is there in your house? Why bother to catch her?"
"This taste is different from that, so forget it?"
Looking at the timid Murong Guang, Murong Zeng shook his head with a wry smile, his eyes filled with affection, "Okay, I'll just make the arrangements."
"Thank you, Uncle Zeng!"
