Chapter 206: Concubine Selection (1)(1/2)
At the gate of the Taiwei Mansion.
There was a stretcher on the ground, and an old man was in his fifties and gray-bearded.
The elegant face was glowing blue, and the lower body was still tattooed. She struggled alone, looking at the drum stand.
The drum beater turned out to be a woman.
In his forties, MILFs still have charm. She is wearing half-new clothes, with a solemn expression, and her lips are tightly pursed. There seems to be endless power in her thin body.
The sound of the drum "dong, dong, dong" attracted many people watching the fun, stopped to watch and gestured.
"Is this a drum to seek justice?"
"Why did you come to the Taiwei Mansion?"
"Is it the white-shirted army disturbing the people?"
“…”
The guard at the door saw that something was wrong and wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Huo Bao.
Huo Bao had made an appointment with Shui to go into Wangjiang Tower before.
Go and eat a meal to satisfy your appetite and ask for a few questions.
My daughter whom I had a crush on got married, but I don’t know if Shui Jin has recovered now.
The two of them saw this scene just after meeting at the gate of the Taiwei Mansion.
It was really this group of people, which attracted people's attention.
There were four people who came to the Taiwei Mansion before. In addition to these two, there were two strengths of carrying stretchers.
The two of them wore short strokes with patches, which was very incompatible with the other two.
The two of them were also panicked when they looked at the Taiwei Mansion, and they hesitated and were urged by the woman several times before they carried the stretcher closer.
The two of them put down the stretcher, took a bunch of money from the woman, and left, and then flew away, probably for temporary employment.
This woman's clothes are half-new and not old, but they are Lu silk.
In history, Lu silk was as famous as Hangzhou satin and Shu brocade.
At this time, Lu silk was not so famous, but because of its scarcity, its price was not expensive.
Huo Bao was wearing a jacket with Lu silk face.
Such clothes are not worn by ordinary people.
Looking at the man on the stretcher, he looked sick and old, but he was clean and clean, without any embarrassment, and had good hygiene habits.
Such a decent family, without servants and maids, must be temporarily hired to employ people...
It’s nothing more than encountering changes and falling into family affairs.
The injustice should be in the old man’s hands.
Huo Bao walked forward.
"Dong!Dong!Dong!"
The woman continued to knock on her, but she didn't want to let go when she saw Huo Bao, and her forehead was already sweating.
Huo Bao directly reached out and held the drumstick.
The woman wanted to pull but couldn't pull, so she was surprised and suspicious.
"I don't even go to the prefect's office?"
Huo Bao asked with a frown.
The transfer of Mr. Song from Hezhou to Jinling was to maintain stability.
Today, whether it is a criminal or civil case, the couple must first go to the county level according to the rules.
The county seat was unknown, and he went to the prefect's office to sue the magistrate's office, but he did not make any complaints at the Taiwei's office.
Is it true to complain?
Or is it a test of someone with ulterior motives?
The Chuzhou Army had just arrived in Jinling, and Huo Bao had to think more.
The woman looked at Huo Bao's clothes, looked at the Taiwei Mansion, and said with grief and anger: "That thief is the guest of honor at the prefect's office? How dare we and my wife go?"
Huo Bao didn't say anything and looked at the woman carefully.
He looked haggard, his body was skinny, his eyes were blue and black, and his eyes were covered with blood. He looked like he hadn't had a good sleep for some days.
Not like forgery.
Looking at the old man again, his legs could not move, and his right hand was wrapped, as if he was injured.
The blue and black face didn't seem to be a few days of hard work.
The Chuzhou Army entered the city for five days, which was not like a temporary setting up.
This is an unexpected event.
But no one knows what the impact of this accident is due to such a big disturbance.
He didn't say anything, but turned around and called the guard: "Come, send them to the prefect's office!"
Several guards at the door hurried over.
When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but hurry and wanted to stop her.
Huo Bao said: "My aunt is at ease, please be impatient. Lord Song is not a person who is favored!"
"That's his in-laws? How could he not protect him?"
The woman said shrillly: "Where is Taiwei Huo? We want to see Taiwei Huo... Isn't the Baishan Army saving the world? Then save us, save us!"
Huo Bao was still unmoved.
There is no order without rules.
If the Taiwei Mansion really accepts this case today, then all lawsuits for big and small matters tomorrow will be found.
Even if the person the couple sued was really a Song family in-law, Mr. Song would not be favored.
A person becomes a spirit,
How could that old fox ruin the future of the Song family for many generations for his far-reaching in-laws?
Shui Jin couldn't bear it and wanted to persuade Huo Bao, but he swallowed the words on his face when he looked.
"Who wants to see me?"
When Huo Wu came out, he saw the woman shouting at her baby son, looking crazy and very unhappy.
The woman's voice came to an abrupt end.
This is the gate of the Taiwei, and no one dares to pretend to be the Taiwei.
With a "thump", the woman knelt down and cried: "Please ask the Grand Marshal to save the little girl, save the little girl..."
The old man behind her also struggled to raise his body and handed the pose in his hand.
Huo Bao stepped forward to answer, glanced at him quickly, and handed it to his father.
Huo Wu glanced at it a few times, but couldn't see his expression.
With such a big noise, there were more people around.
It is not only curiosity about the drum beaters, but mainly curiosity about "Taiwei Huo".
Shui Jin stood in front of Huo Wu, looked around, and whispered: "Fifth Master, let's go to the prefect's office first!"
Huo Wu nodded and the group went to the prefect's office.
...
Here is the prefect's office.
Song Lin looked at the account book in his hand.
Two days after the notice from the yamen was posted, all the gentry in Jinling City got into the trap.
There was no need to recruit people, only one of them was arranged. The two families "actively" donated funds to repair the city walls, and the others rushed over, fearing that they would be left behind and be worn by Chuzhou soldiers.
Because they are not strong people and there is no requirement for the number of donations, others donated them, so they are afraid that they will cut off their meat if they donate less.
Within two days, forty-five families "donated" and raised 428,000 taels of silver.
When he heard someone coming to inform him that Huo Wu was coming, Song Lin hurriedly put down his account book and greeted him in person.
Huo Wu had no intention of taking his anger on Song Lin, and directly handed him the complaint.
Song Lin took it, glanced a few times, knew it in his heart, and said, "Fifth Master, this..."
"Present, don't let the people say we are favored!"
Huo Wu made a statement.
To be continued...
