Chapter 399: What is your relationship with the General of the Central Army of Dezhou?
Liu Hongyu looked at Wang Sheng with eyes as cold as ice. Under Liu Hongyu's gaze, Wang Sheng had no choice but to kneel down slowly.
"Meet Master Liu."
Several people knelt on one knee at the same time and saluted respectfully.
Liu Hongyu's expression eased a little, but he did not ask these people to stand up immediately. Instead, he asked in a deep voice: "Where is your Lord Li now? Go and inform him that the new county magistrate Liu Hongyu has come to take office. Please ask him to come and hand over the seal so that I can handle the case."
Liu Hongyu couldn't help but look at Wan Laoer and his daughter. He felt that the little girl was very smart and very different from other children he had seen.
Wang Sheng immediately wanted to go in and report, but as soon as he moved, Liu Hongyu stopped him sternly: "Stop, stay, go."
Liu Hongyu pointed at a person at random. It seemed that this person had not taken any action just now, but was just watching the fun from the side. It seemed that he and Wang Sheng and others were not on good terms with each other, or they were forced to collude with each other.
Liu Hongyu had already analyzed Wang Sheng. As far as he knew, anyone who could act so arrogantly in the county government office must be a relative of the county magistrate. Wouldn't it be an insult to himself to ask him to report the news?
Although Li Zimu will be going to Beijing to take up his post in a few days, it will be easy for him to secretly trip himself up before he leaves. After all, he has been operating here for more than ten years, and his network of relationships must be intricate and complicated.
When Wang Sheng was called out, he had to suppress his anger and kneel down obediently.
At this moment, he hated Liu Hongyu so much that even if he couldn't go to his brother-in-law to complain now, he would go back home at night and complain to this crooked official, letting his brother-in-law give him a good beating to vent his anger.
Liu Hongyu naturally didn't know what Wang Sheng was thinking. He walked up to Wan Laoer and helped him up from the ground.
"May I know your name?" Liu Hongyu no longer had the stern look he had just had. His face was gentle and his elegance was fully revealed. He looked like a scholar.
Wan Laoer immediately bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, sir. I am Wan Jinzhu, from Shizi Village, Jinwu Town, Xuanning County."
Liu Hongyu's face changed slightly, and he quickly helped Wan Laoer up with both hands, and asked in a low voice: "May I ask what is your relationship with the Zhonglang General of Dezhou?"
Liu Hongyu just heard little Fubao say that her older brother was a general. Liu Hongyu guessed that Fubao's older brother should not be more than twenty years old. There were only two people in their Da Qi who became generals at such a young age, one was the little god of war Wan Xingmo, and the other was Wan Quan, who was brought up by him personally and was in the limelight this year.
Wan Xingmo was born in the capital, so it is impossible for him to have any relationship with the person in front of him. The only one could be Wan Quan, who was said to be born into a peasant family, became famous in one battle, and was named a general.
The general that the little girl mentioned just now should be Wan Quan, and the two have the same surname. There are not many people with the surname Wan in the Da Qi army.
From this, Liu Hongyu speculated that Wan Quan was the general that Fubao was referring to.
As expected, Wan Lao Er said softly, "The Lieutenant General of Dezhou is my nephew."
Fubao said in a sweet voice, "Sir, my brother and my father have a very good relationship. I heard from my mother that my eldest brother was brought up by my mother since he was a child. Moreover, after my aunt passed away, my eldest brother and my family have a better relationship. My eldest brother even wrote letters to my father instead of to my uncle. My grandmother said that my uncle is jealous of my father."
"Fubao, don't talk nonsense." Wan Laoer quickly lowered his head and scolded softly.
"Sir, the little girl is young and ignorant, please don't blame her." Wan Laoer coughed lightly and said respectfully.
Liu Hongyu was overjoyed, for he had not expected that the General of the Household had such a good relationship with his second uncle. He traveled all the way from the capital to the border areas, and heard many people talking about who the general's biological father was. However, no one knew that the general's life experience was actually very rough. If his father did not love him, how could he have such a good relationship with the second uncle?
Liu Hongyu thought for a moment, then looked at Fubao and said gently, "Girl, how old are you this year?"
"I'm over four years old. I'll be five after the Chinese New Year. Daddy said I can go to a private school. My name is Fubao, not Yatou."
Fubao was not shy at all. He answered confidently and even took the initiative to say his name.
This made Liu Hongyu look at her with extra respect. This girl was interesting and would definitely be a good candidate in the future. However, this family was really different. They loved their daughter so much that they took her with them when they went out to do business and let her go to school. This was very similar to the ladies from wealthy families in the capital, but there were many differences.
The girl in front of me lives more realistically, her personality is particularly lively and bright, and her eyes are full of spirituality.
"Fubao, your father seems to be seriously injured. Do you want to ask a doctor to check on your father?"
"Yes, of course. Fubao will take Dad to see a doctor right now. Sir, can we get rid of these bad guys first? They are robbers. They wanted to rob us last night. Fortunately, my father and Brother Zhengyang caught them, but Brother Zhengyang is still recovering in the inn. It was them who injured Brother Zhengyang. Please help us, sir."
After Fubao finished speaking, she imitated Wan Laoer, clasped her hands together, and bent towards Liu Hongyu, which made Liu Hongyu laugh. The little girl looked like she was greeting the new year.
"Hahaha, fine. I'll make the decision for you. I'll put these people in jail first. You take your father to see a doctor, and we'll talk about it when he comes back."
Old Man Liu and Old Lady Liu quickly came up and asked, "Why don't we go with him? How can such a young child take an adult to see a doctor? He can't even tell the direction."
Fubao raised his head and said in a crisp voice: "Grandma, I can ask for directions, I won't get lost, Fubao is awesome, I can take my dad to see a doctor, I see you don't seem to be feeling well, why don't you go back and rest?"
Mrs. Liu's face did look a little bad. After sitting in the carriage for such a long time, she was dizzy from the shaking. In addition, she was not in good health to begin with, so she was indeed a little tired and needed to rest quickly.
"This girl is quite sensible and likable. How could the bailiff have the heart to kill such a good girl? She is so pitiful."
As Mrs. Liu spoke, she walked forward and touched Fubao's head. It was just that after the fight just now, Fubao's already loose hair had completely spread out, and his back-length black hair was now flowing smoothly behind him.
Granny Liu couldn't help but sigh, "This dad is no good at raising a child. He can't even figure out how to do his hair."
Wan Laoer, who was standing aside, blushed and turned pale on the face, and dug his feet on the ground in embarrassment. He had tried his best, but his daughter's beautiful hairstyle usually looked not only unsightly but also simply made-up in his hands. Now it was not even make-up.
