Chapter 317 Meeting
When I returned home to Jingyi, I found my grandfather and told him about Lu Tingjie coming to Yuanling County to be the county magistrate.
Mr. Liu was not very surprised when he heard this, but sighed and said: "The world is full of troubles. You two could have been a good couple but you were forced to separate. After you escaped, Lu Tingjie even came to the house to tell you about your situation.
, which reassured us a lot. At that time, I could see that he was very sad and worried about you.
Later, the Liu family was confiscated and exiled, and he even helped manage the officials who escorted us. Before we left, he came to see us off and told me privately that he would find a way to go to Yuanling County to protect the Liu family.
At that time, he was still a little young, and he was the eldest son of Lu Guogong, so it was impossible for him to come to Yuanling County. Unexpectedly, he actually gave up his position as the eldest son and came to Yuanling County.
It is indeed good for the Liu family that he is the magistrate of Yuanling County. This child is really thoughtful. From this, it can be seen that he has lingering feelings for you. It's just a pity that you can't show up now, and you can't be together openly.
.”
Jing Yi didn't expect her grandpa to have such thoughts, and said quickly: "Grandpa, now that I have An An, and there are so many things to do, I won't think about my other half for the time being. Besides, Lu Tingjie is a very good person, and he deserves more.
Okay girl. Now I just want to win him over and put Yuanling County under our control.
This Yuanling County is located in a remote place, far away from the capital. As long as proper precautions are taken, the true situation here will not be known to the emperor. Moreover, Lu Tingjie is the magistrate of Yuanling County, so he can cover for us. In addition to Lu Tingjie, there are others like this
The commanders of the border guards will also come to our side."
Mr. Liu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Don't worry about General Lin from the Yuanling County garrison. He is one of ours."
Jing Yi was surprised when he heard this, "Grandpa, is he also an old member of the Jing family?"
Mr. Liu shook his head and said, "He is not an old member of the Jing family, he is your uncle."
At this time, Jing Yi was not surprised but shocked, "My uncle? He is your son? Do you have other women besides my grandma?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu knocked Jing Yi on the head, stared and said: "Nonsense, I only have your grandmother. All our children were born by your grandmother, and Lin Zhuocheng was certainly born by your grandmother. This matter makes sense.
Sir, Lin Zhuocheng is actually your second uncle.
When I was serving abroad, I was involved in a salt smuggling case. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation. Because it touched the interests of some people, many officials involved were assassinated. Even the wives and children of these officials were assassinated.
Not let go.
At that time, your grandmother had just given birth to your second uncle. The situation was urgent and our lives were in danger. For the sake of your second uncle's safety, we entrusted him to a friend of mine, and asked that friend to take your second uncle to the hospital.
He took him away. Then he announced to the public that your second uncle died in infancy.
Later, all of us officials involved were put in jail, waiting for the superiors to investigate and release us. I stayed in jail for a full ten months before I was found out and released, and then my official position was restored.
After I was reinstated, I tried to find my friend and your second uncle, but there was no news about them. It turns out that when something happened to me, my friend was afraid that your second uncle would be implicated, so he took him back to his hometown. I also asked your second uncle to correct him.
He named him and said he was his child. My friend never had any children, so he and his wife raised your second uncle as their own.
It wasn't until eight years later that my friend brought your second uncle to us. After I understood the reason, I was very grateful to them. Your second uncle's relationship with his wife was also very deep, and they had no children. You and I
Grandma discussed and adopted your second uncle as their son.
After all, they saved your second uncle and raised him. In the future, it is appropriate for your second uncle to care for them until they die. We have not told this matter to the outside world, so no one except our two families knows that Lin Zhuocheng is a child of our Liu family.
"
Jing Yi sighed after listening to her grandfather's story, "It turns out that you have such a tortuous past, grandpa. Grandpa, your friend has raised his second uncle for so many years, but he still has no children, but he still sends his children back to you. It's really heavy."
Friendship. You are repaying their kindness by giving your child to them as an adoptive child, allowing them to have a son to take care of them until they die."
Mr. Liu said with a smile: "The main reason is that your second uncle has followed them since he was a child and has a deep relationship with them. Your grandma and I have given birth to several more children one after another, but my friend has nothing at his knees. Your grandma and I can't bear it."
Get your second uncle back.
Your second uncle was well-educated, good at literature and martial arts, and later became a military general. When he found out that we were being exiled, your second uncle asked someone to help us carry out the activities, and he was transferred to be the general of the Yuanling County garrison half a year ago.
It’s also to take care of us.”
Jing Yi asked: "Then does my second uncle know that you and my grandmother were killed in the bombing?"
Mr. Liu nodded, "I asked your eldest uncle to tell him. With your second uncle's care, your eldest uncle and his family's life has been much easier. Now that Lu Tingjie has become the magistrate of Yuanling County, then Yuanling County
It will be under our control soon."
Jing Yi nodded. She also arranged secret guards for her grandfather. She also knew that grandpa often communicated with her uncle and the others through secret guards.
Now there should be no problem with the garrison in Yuanling County. As long as they can win over Lu Tingjie, they will be safe.
Jing Yi didn't waste any time. After feeding his son early the next morning, he set off on horseback to Yuanling County.
Jingyi still disguises herself as a man, but her breasts have grown a lot after giving birth, so she wears bigger clothes to cover up Jingyi.
Jing Yi did not go directly to the county government office, but observed around the county government office, and then came to the back door of the county government office and climbed over the wall into the back house of the county government office.
As soon as Jing Yi entered the backyard of the county government office, he heard voices not far away, "Sir, there are more and more victims fleeing famine to our Yuanling County, and we don't have that much food to help the victims. I am afraid of panic in the city.
We dare not let all the victims into the city. Now these victims are gathered outside the North City Gate. I wonder how you are going to respond?"
"First, give porridge outside the city to stabilize the victims, and we will figure out other solutions later."
Jing Yi hid in a corner and poked his head around to find that the person speaking behind him was none other than Lu Tingjie. The person talking to him should be someone like the master or the county magistrate.
Lu Tingjie gave the signal and the man left, leaving Lu Tingjie to go to the back house.
Jingyi deliberately made a noise.
Lu Tingjie immediately looked over alertly, "Who is so sneaky?"
Jingyi walked out of the corner, and Lu Tingjie saw the eyes of the person not far away gleaming with surprise, obviously recognizing Jingyi.
Lu Tingjie looked around and quickly walked towards Jingyi and asked in a trembling voice: "Yiyi, is it you? Am I not dreaming?"
Jing Yi nodded and whispered, "It's me."
Chapter completed!
