Crossing the Extreme Rampage

Uncle Lu is a tall and thin old man, but he is younger than Li Zheng.

Hearing that the county magistrate and officers and soldiers had come to the village, they had been waiting and watching in front of the house, and when they saw a young man coming to him, they immediately followed.

"Master County, hello to all the officials."

Lan Mingyu was flustered and asked impatiently, "Who did your family give the child to?"

Uncle Lu was startled, could it be that his biological parents came here?

Seeing that Uncle Lu hesitated, Lan Mingyu reached out to draw his sword, but Wei Yaoqi quickly held it down with his sharp eyes.

Lan Mingyu turned her head and glared at him, but said nothing.

Wei Yaoqi patted the back of his hand, "Ming Yu, be safe and don't be impatient."

Lan Mingyu slowly let go of his hand, looking very anxious.

Wei Yaoqi sighed secretly, he was the one who was sorry for Ming Yu, if at the beginning...

"Honestly tell me who you gave the child to?"

Uncle Lu looked at Wei Yaoqi, but his moderate voice made him almost out of breath.

"The child was given to a passing scholar. At that time, my wife and I carried the child out. We stood by the road and waited for a whole day before someone came."

"The scholar walked towards us dejectedly. After approaching, I stopped him and asked him if he wanted this child?"

"He said he had children at home."

"I said if you don't want this child, we can only abandon him here."

"It was already mid-afternoon at that time, and the path was a bit remote. If the child was abandoned there, one would not know when the next passer-by would come, let alone whether he would pick the child home."

"The scholar was kind-hearted, moved with compassion, took the child in his arms, and left."

After listening to Uncle Lu's words quietly, everyone's expressions changed. That is to say, it is almost impossible to find the child now. Who knows where the scholar is from?

Tang Yuanming asked persistently, "Did you ask the scholar what his last name is, what his name is, and where he lives?"

Uncle Lu lowered his head and thought for a while, "We asked his name, but we can't remember it. We only remember that his surname is Xu."

Xu?

Xu Zhengfeng became sensitive, because Zhengyi was the child he picked up, and his age was just right, "Then do you remember the day you sent the child out?"

Wei Yaoqi and Lan Mingyu looked at Xu Zhengfeng suspiciously, their child, why is Xu Zhengfeng so excited?

Tang Yuanming lowered his head, thoughtful, it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?

Uncle Lu shook his head, "It happened more than ten years ago, I don't remember."

At this time, the young man patted Lao Lizheng's arm, "Father, you must remember, when is it?"

Lao Li glanced at him, "Which day? It's your 15th birthday."

The young man pointed at himself, recalling quickly in his mind, "I'm 15? That's June [-]th."

Lao Li nodded, "Yes, that day, during lunch, you asked Uncle Lu why they didn't come, forgot?"

After Xu Zhengfeng heard this, he was stunned. Zhengyi was brought home by his father on June [-]th.

June [-]th is Zhengyi's birthday. Dad said that in order to prevent Zhengyi from knowing that he picked him up, and sad that he has no parents, he took that day as his birthday.

The next day, the villagers were invited to the house for dinner, and his name was rectified, saying that he was born by his mother.

Mother was weak that year and didn't go out much. No one knew whether Mother was pregnant or not, which justified Zhengyi's life experience.

So until now no one knows that Zhengyi was not born by his parents.

Tang Yuanming turned his head to look at Xu Zhengfeng's expression, and knew in his heart that it seemed that Zhengyi was the prince.

Quietly pulled him out of the crowd, "Zhengfeng, Zhengyi is the prince, right?"

Xu Zhengfeng raised his eyes slightly, stared at Tang Yuanming for a while, and then nodded, "Yes."

"Then do you want to tell your lord now?"

Xu Zhengfeng couldn't accept this fact a bit, Zhengyi was raised by him, his younger brother and son, and now he is actually the prince, if it were someone else, he would probably faint from shock.

"Your gentleman has worked so hard to find his son, how could he not tell him, and Zhengyi was born by him, he has the right to know."

Tang Yuanming's voice was soft, "Then when are you going to say it?"

Xu Zhengfeng glanced at Lan Mingyu, who looked very disappointed, and understood his mood, "I'll talk about it right away, sooner or later I have to talk about it."

"I'll go with you."

"it is good."

Xu Zhengfeng walked over and saluted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take a step to speak." After speaking, he went straight to a place where no one was around.

Wei Yaoqi and Lan Mingyu looked at each other, Xu Zhengfeng obviously knew something, guessed in his heart, and walked over with him.

Lan Mingyu didn't show any airs to Tang Yuanming or Xu Zhengfeng, "Zhengfeng, please speak up if you have something to say."

Xu Zhengfeng looked directly at Lan Mingyu, he should be a good father, "My lord, I know where the prince is."

Lan Mingyu's disappointed eyes instantly filled with ecstasy, and he almost heard his trembling voice, "Where is he?"

Xu Zhengfeng said every word with reluctance, "He is Zhengyi."

"What?" Lan Mingyu's exquisite facial features were full of shock, and a young boy with a youthful face somewhat similar to his grandfather appeared in his mind, with delicate features and gentle features, "Is it really Zhengyi?"

Xu Zhengfeng nodded, mixed with joy and worry, "It's him, his birthday is June [-], and his birthday is the day he picked it up."

"Then your father?"

"My father's surname is Xu, and he was a scholar who took the imperial examination when he was young."

Lan Mingyu's heart was beating like thunder, and he clenched his hands into fists, "Qi, let's go back to Beijing right away."

"Okay." When eating hot pot before, that child gave him a different feeling, but he didn't expect it to be his son, Wei Yaoqi smiled, it turned out that God had already arranged for them to meet.

Xu Zhengfeng reached out his hand to stop Lan Mingyu, with a very serious expression, "My lord, I still have something to say."

Lan Mingyu didn't know why, but it didn't affect his joyful mood at all, "Zhengfeng, tell me."

"Zhengyi's character is resolute and straightforward, and he is very assertive. After we tell him the truth, he may not want to go with you. You need to be mentally prepared."

Lan Mingyu became nervous after hearing this, and suddenly solemnly promised, "Yes, Zhengyi is 12 years old and has his own ideas. Don't worry, I won't force him. As long as he is happy, he can choose whatever he likes." way to live.”

Xu Zhengfeng nodded, relieved, "Then let's go back to Beijing."

"it is good."

After the three of them walked back, they found three villagers kneeling in front of the county magistrate, saying, "May the magistrate catch the thief."

The magistrate is one head and two elders. The emperor and noble gentleman are here, and he can't speak easily. How can he investigate the case?

Bite the bullet and ask, "Tell me what's going on."

Kneeling in front of the county magistrate were Lu Er Er who lost money, and two villagers who lost mountain goods and pickles.

Not long ago, Lu Lao Er hid the three hanging copper coins in the grass on the top of the beam of his house. After the copper coins were stolen, he re-examined the place where the money was hidden today.

But Lu Lao Er reached out to dig out the place where the money was hidden, and grabbed a handful of fresh thatch grass.

What the second family lost was a bag of hickory nuts, weighing more than 100 catties.

The half jar of pickles lost by the third family was even more frightening, weighing more than 200 catties.

Looking at the new grass that Mr. Lu took from second-hand, Tang Yuanming wondered, "Are you sure the roof of your house is the old roof thatched ten years ago?"

Lu Laoer nodded repeatedly, "The thatched huts in our village have been around for at least ten years, and the roof has never been touched."

Tang Yuanming felt very strange, "Since this is the case, how could there be a new house grass?"

Everyone turned their eyes to the thatch in his hand, judging by the color, it was indeed new.

Lu Laoer spread his hands and said helplessly, "I was also puzzled, so I came to Li Zheng."

Tang Yuanming suddenly remembered that when they came to Lizheng's house, those people inside were indeed talking excitedly, "That's what you were talking about at Lizheng's house before?"

"Yes, I was talking, and you came here. Now the county magistrate is here, and I want him to make decisions for us."

The magistrate frowned and said, "Do you have anyone you suspect?"

Everyone didn't answer.

After a while, someone said, "It's Lu Ermao, he is the thief."

The county magistrate straightened his face, "Why do you say that? What evidence do you have?"

A villager said excitedly, "Recently Lu Ermao is living a good life. The family eats and drinks well, and I even met him in a restaurant."

The county magistrate looked around, "Just now you said that Lu Ermao stole your things, where is he?"

At this time, the child who led Tang Yuanming and the others pushed a person out, "He is Lu Ermao."

Everyone turned their attention to Lu Ermao.

This person is thin and weak, weighing no more than one hundred catties, and with this kind of strength, let him carry three hundred catties out of the village, let alone a human being, even ghosts would not believe it.

The magistrate is not a fool, he frowned slightly, and looked down at Lu Ermao, "Are you wronged?"

Lu Ermao glanced at the magistrate with stubbornness in his eyes, "I stole it."

He has been adjudicating a case for many years, and this is the first time he has encountered someone who pleaded guilty so straightforwardly, so simply that he didn't know what to say next.

"Then I will judge you..."

Tang Yuanming stopped and said, "Master County, this case is full of doubts, shouldn't this be a light sentence?"

The magistrate had no choice but to swallow the rest of the words, his face turned red, "Genius doctor, what's your opinion?"

Tang Yuanming was speechless, he knew all about the trial, "First of all, you have to ask him when and how he committed the crime, and whether he was convicted before he had any accomplices, right?"

The magistrate involuntarily glanced at Wei Yaoqi and Lan Mingyu, their eyes were very flat, but he felt that he had no future.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Ermao hurriedly said, "I plead guilty, I plead guilty, my lord, I plead guilty."

The more he said this, the more suspicious he felt. Could it be that someone was threatening him?

But those things are worthless, what is there to threaten?

So... there must be something wrong with it, and it's a big one.

After the county magistrate received a huge blow, he calmed down and his IQ finally came back, "Lu Ermao, did you hear what the genius doctor said just now? Answer quickly..."

Lu Ermao lowered his head, "I saw the place where Lu Laoer hid money, and stole the money while he was away, other mountain goods and pickles...I...I..."

I can't tell.
