419 The Son of Heaven’s item
taoyuan county had a history of hundreds of years from the previous dynasty to the present. this was the first time that the yamen wanted to catch a criminal and drove here by themselves, along with the yamen runners who were going to catch the criminal.
at the entrance of the court, the other people of the yamen were stunned.
“They hit you?” The constable stepped forward and asked.
Lu Zheng gave them a look and they did not dare to say anything. They all shook their heads.
They were beaten up badly by Lu Zheng just now. Although they were in court now, Lu Zheng might not do anything, but who knew what would happen in court?
master wanted to punish gu shouxin, and this young master zhou was just an extra.
Who didn’t know that young master Zhou was old master Zhou’s grandnephew? when the time came, he would definitely be redeemed by old master Zhou.
So, I’d better not say it!
They had all thought that Lu Zheng was only old Zhou’s grandnephew and did not know how strong Lu Zheng was, so they were not afraid.
but now, she was afraid.
……
Gu shouxin and Lu Zheng didn’t wait for long before master Cheng arrived in his official uniform. Grandma Xiao, grandma Gu, and Madam li also came with Cai Xiaolian and the others.
in the hall, other than the commoners, there were also many candidates.
“Mighty!”
the entire scene fell silent.
When Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian saw Gu shouxin’s calm expression, they were no longer so anxious. Now that they heard this voice, they felt that anyone could come and watch a real case!
It wasn’t strange to think about it. There weren’t many entertainment programs in ancient times, so it was naturally good to be able to watch the fun!
“Who are you?” Lord Cheng was shocked.
“Woof! Master Cheng, my second uncle went to visit you last month and even cooperated with your Madam in business last year! And you still ask who is in the hall?” Lu Zheng crossed his arms, tilted his head, and smiled. His eyes were filled with disdain.
“impudent! I’m just and upright, I don’t have any private property, so how can I cooperate? you, zhou yuan, why didn’t you kneel before me?” Master Cheng glared at Lu Zheng.
“oh, i have a sign in my hand. my great uncle gave it to me and said that only officials of the second rank and above can kneel. i’m afraid that i can’t stand it and will lose my black gauze!” lu zheng took out the birthday gift from the emperor, walked to the table, and waved it in front of master cheng.
Lord Cheng was so scared that he almost got up and knelt down. This was an item of the Emperor! No one in the great Zhou Dynasty would dare to take the risk of using the emperor’s item to swindle people!
at this moment, lord cheng was extremely regretful. he knew that zhou yuan was old master zhou’s grandnephew, so why did he still take the risk to involve him?
Fortunately, he did not intend to involve him too deeply. He was giving old Zhou and the Duke Zhengguo’s mansion face.
However, old master Zhou had given this Imperial Gift to this grandnephew. It seemed that the rumors outside were true. Old master Zhou really intended to hand over the entire family business to the clansmen. This grandnephew was about to be adopted, and he would be a grandson in the future!
“Lord Cheng has seen it, so I’ll lend it to my second uncle for a while. So, Lord Cheng, don’t say that you’re being presumptuous again. Why didn’t you kneel when you saw me?” lu zheng chuckled as he passed the jade pendant to gu shouxin.
Gu shouxin raised his eyebrows. Did this kid trust his family so much now? wasn’t she afraid that he’d take it away?
Did he know that he and niannian were the ones who beat him up that night?
Gu Xin also had a piece of Jade in her hand. It was a birthday gift from the Emperor. She did not expect it to be so useful. She decided to give this Jade to her father when she returned. At least her father would not have to kneel down to the officials in Qingzhou Prefecture.
