"What is he doing?" Jiaxing asked.
Yu Qian said, "I don't know."
Lu Lin opened his mouth slightly, and it took him a while to react, and quickly helped him up: "Master Shangshu, what are you doing?"
You are a dignified second-rank official of the imperial court, and I am a mere county son.
It's terrible.
Wu Zhong refused to let Lu Lin help him, kneeled down stubbornly, and kowtowed to him twice.
Good thing it was two, not three...
This kneeling and kowtowing, what are you doing?
I just asked if you have seen other people, and it was not sent by your wife to catch the rape.
After Wu Zhong kowtowed his head, he stood up and thanked him; "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for saving your life. I can't repay you. If it is useful in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water."
"Saving... the grace?"
When did I save you?
"Could it be that Master Shangshu has admitted the wrong person?"
I'm meeting you for the first time.
Wu Zhong took the opportunity to grab his hand again, and gently touched it: "The county magistrate is righteous, he does not ask for rewards for his kindness, I really admire it."
Lu Lin:? ? ?
"Master Shang Shu made a mistake. I am a businessman, the kind who forgets righteousness for profit."
When Wu Zhong heard this, he laughed so hard that he lost his eyesight: "Xianzi Lu, that's really humorous. Someone like Mr. Lu can be regarded as a ungrateful person, so there will be no chivalrous and courageous people in this world."
Lu Lin: ...
Forget it, I don't bother to explain.
"Master Shangshu, you have to tell me, what are you thanking me for?"
Inexplicably, he became the savior of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. God is chasing after him and stuffing favors into his mouth.
Chapter 223 Daddy Cheap Really Came
Wu Zhong chased after him to thank him, Lu Lin was very confused, the first time he met, he became Wu Zhong's savior.
The world is so strange.
Facing Lu Lin's question, Wu Zhong had a naughty expression on his face.
"Didn't the magistrate ask, did I meet anyone else tonight?"
"Yes." Lu Lin nodded, and then you knelt down to me, chasing after me to recognize me as your savior.
"Except for Junshi Yao, I have actually met other people tonight."
"Who?" Lu Lin was a little nervous. Is his cheap father's identity finally revealed?
"Your father."
Lu Lin: ...
"My father?"
I know it's my father, but besides my father, does he have any other titles, such as boss, lord, or Your Highness?
But Wu Zhong obviously didn't have this awareness, so he said naively: "That's right."
"It's ashamed to say it. As for me, because I was confused after drinking and did some stupid things, I was caught and read a book."
"Your Majesty is very angry. He not only punished me to go to Jiming Temple to face the wall and think about my mistakes, but also prepared me to retire and return home."
Retire and return home, so serious.
As Wu Zhong spoke, he couldn't help sighing, it's really a loss for a thousand-year-old wise man.
But suddenly he got excited again: "Brother Lu was afraid that I would really be demoted, so he came here in a hurry to give me advice."
"Your father said that you asked me to invite me to Huguang to take over Shi Kui's job of picking wood in order to atone for my meritorious deeds. When the capital is built, I will be considered a great meritorious service and I will be able to return to my post as an official."
Speaking of this, Wu Zhong showed a gratified smile.
He has been struggling in the officialdom for so many years, and finally became a minister, but he was dismissed because of being drunk and confused. He is really not reconciled.
But his usual reputation is not very good, so now something happened, countless people stepped on him, and very few people helped him.
Even those who used to flirt with him behind him all fell down and scattered.
At critical times, there is no one who can help him.
On the contrary, it was this county magistrate Lu who had never even met face to face, let alone communicated with him. He did not expect to step forward and advise him when he was in the most difficult time.
This method of inviting him to Huguang to redeem his crimes really solved his difficulties, so he chased after him to repay his favor.
Although the working hours of wood mining are long and hard, it is better than retiring from old age and returning home. At any rate, there is still a day to turn around.
Speaking of the emotional part, Wu Zhong bowed to Lu Lin again and bowed ninety degrees: "I will remember the great kindness of Mr. Lu in my heart."
Lu Lin hurriedly helped him up: "Master Shangshu, it's too serious to say anything, it's not worth mentioning."
Lu Lin couldn't laugh now. According to Wu Zhong, his cheap father really came here, and from Wu Zhong's tone, his cheap father should not be the emperor, otherwise how dare Wu Zhong be so presumptuous.
This should have been a happy thing, at least it proved that his cheap daddy was not the person he guessed in his heart.
But Lu Lin always felt something was wrong, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.
It's okay to fetch water from the bamboo basket, but I always feel that there is something very awkward.
Could it be that his cheap dad deliberately plotted against him?
But they couldn't, they didn't know that someone was following them, and even if they knew, they wouldn't expect him to come to the door tonight.
Maybe he really thinks too much, his cheap father is just an ordinary businessman.
Ugh!
"Master Shangshu, please take a rest, I will interrupt."
