Chapter 33 Rescued 2
After Zheng Yuanhao left, the two maids looked at Gu Leyou.
One of the maids, Xiaolian, said, "Xiaoyu, this girl is really pretty, but she will have a hard time now that our Master Zheng has taken a fancy to her."
"That's right. This young master of our family is famous. Girls within a ten-mile radius have to stay away from him when they see him. This girl is really unlucky."
Listening to the two maids' discussion, Gu Leyou also joined in the conversation.
"You might as well pity yourselves first, instead of pitying me."
The two maids listened and were a little confused. What nonsense was this girl talking about?
Seeing that they didn't understand, Gu Leyou explained it to them.
"Are you really safe as a maid in this man's house? The man in your family is such a person. If you anger her one day, your life will be in danger."
Xiaolian understood what the girl said. With tears in her eyes, she said, "He and I both come from poor families. We were sold by our parents and came here to be maids. We are poor girls and our fate is not up to us. We have several younger brothers at home who rely on my salary to support them."
Gu Leyou was a little confused.
She asked: "Your parents sold you, why do they want you to bring money back to them to support your brother? It shouldn't have mattered since they sold you to this family."
"How can we girls from poor families decide our own fate? Our parents have the final say. Even though they sold us, they are still my biological parents. I can't just ignore my brothers and sisters at home."
This was said by Xiaoyu.
Zheng Yuanhao opened the door with a group of servants.
I saw a tall man standing at the door, with nothing in his hands and no helpers.
Zheng Yuanhao felt that the man in front of him could not take the girl away, so he spoke in a particularly arrogant manner.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Your wife has already agreed to be with me. Go back. You will have nothing to do with her from now on."
"You took my wife away. No matter what you say today, you must let her go, or I will make you pay."
Although the other side had more people and more power, Lu Yan was not afraid.
Zheng Yuanhao saw that the other party was alone and spoke so arrogantly, so he thought that the other party was bluffing, so he looked down on him.
He said, "You are only one person, and we have so many people. You can't beat us. Run away as soon as possible. Your wife is in my house. I will treat her well and let her eat and drink delicious food. Why should I suffer with you?"
Lu Yan didn't want to waste time talking to the other party and looked like he was ready to fight.
Seeing this, the butler was afraid that his son would suffer, so he shouted, "Come on, beat him hard."
When Lu Yan saw a large group of people rushing towards him, he was not afraid at all. He knocked them to the ground in no time.
Zheng Yuanhao became a little scared when he saw this, but he still maintained his arrogance.
"Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're so powerful. Think about it, your wife is still in our hands. If you don't obey me, I can't guarantee what the people in my house will do to your wife."
Lu Yan was never afraid of threats. His eyes were fierce as he said, "If you dare to touch her, I will bury everyone in your house with you."
Just then, Gu Haixiong arrived with the county magistrate and a large group of his men.
The county magistrate was so frightened when he saw Lu Yan that he fell to his knees.
This is someone he can't afford to offend.
He had long known that there was a very powerful general in the court.
Before the court was in turmoil, the general's portrait had already been sent to each state and government office. This was because the emperor was afraid that the general would be inconvenienced when he was away, so he had already made arrangements, so they all knew about it.
However, in order not to reveal his identity, Lu Yan only met the county magistrate once, and it was the county magistrate who helped him in falsifying the household registration.
This county magistrate is a rare good official who is honest and upright.
Gu Haixiong realized this and went to seek help from the county magistrate in the middle of the night.
When Zheng Yuanhao saw that the county magistrate had knelt down, he knew that things were not going well. It seemed that this seemingly strong man was someone they could not afford to offend.
"County magistrate, please get up quickly. I am just a commoner and cannot bear this. It is a good thing that you are here. Please speak for me. This young man has robbed my wife and wants to make her his wife."
When the county magistrate heard this, he stood up and quickly gave orders to his men.
"Go, even if you have to search his house thoroughly, you must find the man and bring him out."
Seeing that he had no chance of defeating the enemy, Zheng Yuanhao knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Sir, I was wrong. Please spare my life."
The county magistrate did not tolerate him. He usually did evil things but no one was killed, so the magistrate just turned a blind eye and let him do as he pleased.
But unexpectedly, this time he offended the wrong person. If he doesn't handle the situation well, his official position will be in danger.
So he gave his orders again.
"Come on, drag this bad guy who robbed the woman away and give him twenty lashes of the cane."
When Zheng Yuanhao heard that he was going to be beaten with a stick, he was so scared that he fainted.
The subordinate said to the county magistrate, "Sir, what should we do if Master Zheng faints?"
"Then find a way to wake him up. Does he want to avoid this beating?"
Soon, people from the county government found Gu Leyou.
At this time, Gu Leyou was still chatting with the two maids.
"That's right. Children from poor families can't even decide their own lives."
"I don't know if my parents know my current situation. I don't want to embarrass you. I know that if you let me go privately, the consequences will be disastrous."
As soon as Gu Leyou finished speaking, someone from the county government office pushed the door open.
"Young lady, please come with us. The county magistrate wants you to see him."
The two maids were sincerely happy for her.
Everyone knows that the local official is a good official, and as long as the Jews step in, the girl will be fine.
Gu Leyou asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What does the master want to see me for?"
The county yamen official replied, "Young lady, please come with us. Our master is waiting at the gate of the government office. You will know when you go and see him."
…
At this time, at the gate of the mansion.
Gu Haixiong suddenly understood.
Even the county magistrate can't afford to offend their future son-in-law, so he must be a remarkable person.
I don’t know if my daughter will be in danger if she marries him.
Forget it, let’s just make the best of it.
This time when I go back, I have to arrange my daughter's marriage as soon as possible, after all, all the things have been purchased.
After all, my daughter is well-behaved and sensible, and this young master has been thinking about her. If he doesn't prepare a marriage for her as soon as possible, it will bring her more trouble sooner or later.
As for the identity of the son-in-law, since no one mentioned it, I wouldn't ask.
