Chapter 430 (Second update)
It was only then that everyone noticed that the magistrate's wife was wearing a splendid attire.

Some people regret not going out in better clothes.

"It's getting late, let's go." Madam Zhifu nodded to everyone.

The ladies set off from the main entrance of the back house in sedan chairs and carriages.

Soon, they merged with the sedan chair and carriage convoy of the men in front.

There are more than 60 masters, plus their own entourage, as many as nearly 200 people.

A group of people walked to the tavern where Gaozong had a drink.

This was the first time such a grand event had occurred in the city. A large number of high-status people took to the streets together.

It caused the common people on the street to discuss it one after another.

"What happened? Why are there so many noble people traveling together?"

"Is this going to meet some important person? Look, the prefect who is leading the way is wearing court clothes."

"The prefect's rank is the fourth rank. The person he wears court clothes to meet must be higher than his official position. Could it be that the person who came here is a high-ranking official from Lin'an City? Mr. Prime Minister or which prince?"

"Walk, walk, follow up and have a look."

The prefect of Yuezhou raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard someone talking about it, and lowered the curtain of the sedan chair.

The common people followed behind the 200 people, walking all the way forward, like a procession, very spectacular.

From the front to the rear, the line was about two miles long.

In the tavern, the three of Gaozong drank three jugs of wine and ate eight dishes of food and wine, but they did not see Li Jiaoniang returning to the medical hall.

They didn't see Zhao Cong appear either, Gaozong sat impatiently, flicked his sleeves, and stood up.

"Back."

"Yes." Jichang hurried over and helped Gaozong go downstairs.

Zheng Wu followed them, went downstairs and paid for the drink.

The tavern manager and Hu Zi walked to the door to see them off, "Guest officer, welcome to come again next time."

The three people's drink money plus reward money, gave fifty guan!

This is a proper rich man!
The shopkeeper almost pulled Gaozong to say goodbye with tears in his eyes.

Gao Zong, however, had a gloomy face, staring at the medical center in front of him, without saying a word.

Zheng Wu drove the carriage to Gaozong.

Ji Chang was about to help him into the carriage when they saw a group of strange people coming here quickly.

There are hundreds of people.

Zheng Wu and Ji Chang immediately shouted, "Master, be careful of assassins!"

The two escorted Gaozong back to the tavern together.

Among the group of people, someone recognized them and yelled loudly, "Officials, I am late to welcome you, you deserve death!"

Those in the sedan chair got off the sedan chair, those in the carriage got out of the carriage, and those on the horse got off their horses.

People held their robes and strode towards Gaozong.

There are men and women, old and young.

There are officials and ordinary people.

A mighty group of people stepped on the snow on the road and scattered it in all directions.

Gaozong was at a loss, who is this?

"Master, go into the shop quickly!" Ji Chang dragged Gao Zong and ran into the tavern. Zheng Wu drew out his waist knife to block the group of people who were running.

"I am... I am... the magistrate of Yuezhou, my minister, I will kowtow to the official family, and the official family is safe!" The magistrate of Yuezhou couldn't care less to catch his breath, and bowed down at the door of the tavern.

The tavern keeper is dumbfounded, official?
He was startled, and bowed down, and Huzi quickly followed suit.

Gaozong, who had just walked into the tavern, turned his head and took a look, the person who came was really the prefect of Yuezhou.

After the prefect of Yuezhou bowed down, other people also came to greet him.

These people, self-introduced their homes and said their names.

Gaozong had seen many people.

There is the son of the earl, the descendant of the old grand maester.

Elder Madam Gaoming.

Duke's descendants.

Gaozong was so angry that he almost held his breath. Which bastard leaked the news of his arrival?

How can he still investigate incognito?

How to secretly investigate Zhao Cong's affairs?
The happiest is the shopkeeper of the tavern, and secondly, Huzi.

The shopkeeper thought, when the official left, he would make a sign and hang it up, "Tavern Handpicked by the Holy One".

And write down the types of drinks and dishes Gaozong used.

Then show the cups, plates and chopsticks used by Emperor Gaozong. At that time, his tavern business will definitely go to a higher level, and he will definitely become rich.

It's beautiful to think about.

What Huzi thought was that he could show off everywhere!He once led the way for the Holy One, brought tea and wiped the table, hahahaha!After hearing his deeds, the children and grandchildren must admire him very much!
Gao Zong was so angry that his face was livid, and he shook his sleeves and left.

He took two steps, stopped again, looked back at the prefect of Yuezhou, and said coldly, "Go to your mansion, lead the way!"

Now that his identity has been exposed, he can no longer live in the inn.

There are only two followers around him. After his identity is revealed, if he does not increase his guards, he may be attacked by assassins.

The prefect of Yuezhou was also happy in his heart, receiving the Holy Majesty, this is a glorious lintel!

"Yes, official."

A group of people surrounded Gaozong and went to the magistrate's yamen in a mighty way.

Just as there was a commotion in front of the tavern, Li Jiaoniang returned to the medical hall.

Juan saw that it was very lively on the opposite side, so he wanted to go and have a look.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Go, go, today is coming to Yuezhou City, it's a rare event, let's call Erbao and Chunya, you go and see together, remember his appearance, When I return to the village in the future, I will brag with others."

"Hey." Juan said happily.

Chun Ya and Er Bao had already stood at the door and looked at each other. They had to guard the medical center and ran to play without leaving the house.

Li Jiaoniang came back and allowed them to go. The two were very happy, and together with Juan, they ran to the opposite side and squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement.

As for Emperor Gaozong, he was busy dealing with the family of officials who visited him.

His two followers were busy guarding against the assassins from the crowd, and none of the three had time to pay attention to the medical hall.

Li Jiaoniang curled the corners of her lower lips, smiled mockingly, and entered the hospital with her sleeves rolled up.

Once Gao Zong's identity was exposed, where would he have time to care about Zhao Cong?

It was enough for him to be busy with the officials of Yuezhou City who came to pay their respects by flattering them.

If he finds another chance to "get sick", he will have to swallow his anger and sneak back to Lin'an.

.

Gaozong had no choice but to go to the government office of the prefect of Yuezhou.

Walking along the road in a mighty way, the news that he came to Yuezhou City quickly spread throughout the city.

A servant of Lu's mansion went shopping on the street, and happened to meet this pedestrian, and when he inquired about it, he was really frightened.

He also deliberately followed all the way to the magistrate's government office.

Seeing a thin man about 50 years old get off the carriage and be surrounded by people into the main hall of the Yamen, he hurried home and reported the incident to Lu You.

Lu You was not too surprised, because everything was under the control of Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang.

He told this matter to Luo Cheng who was avoiding disaster in the mansion.

The worry in Luo Cheng's heart was relieved a little.

He took Zhao Cong to bid farewell to Mrs. Lu.

The news that Emperor Gaozong came to Yuezhou City, Lu You had already told Mrs. Lu.

She, too, has been sitting on the sidelines.

Hearing that Emperor Gaozong had left the medical center, Mrs. Lu also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"You can go back with peace of mind." Mrs. Lu said, "I will pay attention to the official's house."

Luo Cheng thanked him, and left the Lu residence with Zhao Cong.

The old lady Lu looked at Lu You, "You guys!" She snorted softly, "You still kept it from me, if it wasn't for the news from outside, I wouldn't know that the official family came to Yuezhou City, why not said earlier?"

There was no one else in the room, only their grandparents and grandchildren, so Lu You told Mrs. Lu about the discussion with Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng.

"Grandmother, cousin Cheng and cousins, also for the good of the Lu family, did not let the old lady see the official family. The cousins ​​invited the magistrate to come forward. Because the Lu family and the cousin are close relatives, the official family will misunderstand the Lu family. Standing in line with Pu'an County King. If the charge of forming a party for personal gain is charged to the Lu family, it will be a devastating disaster for the Lu family!"

As an official in the court, it is impossible not to make friends with parties. Isolated people will not be able to gain a foothold in the court and will be squeezed out.

But it can't be too obvious.

Because there is no emperor in any dynasty who likes to watch his courtiers hug each other.

There is no emperor who likes to see his courtiers chasing his son to fight against him!

Both are taboo.

Mrs. Lu has lived for dozens of years, how can she not understand the truth of this?
"I'm angry, not because I want to throw away my face and only think of temporary glory to meet the officials, but because—" She snorted, "I'm not old-fashioned, am I? You didn't even tell me? I put it aside and made up my mind? At least tell me!"

Lu You smiled and said, "Yes, I don't dare anymore. Next time I will definitely discuss it with you, grandma."

Old lady Lu glanced at him and stopped talking.

She was thinking about other things in her mind, the officials still don't know that Luo Cheng is the son of Princess Chengyang, right?

Should she find a chance to speak out?
Luo Cheng refused to meet the members of the royal family, but the members of the royal family came to Yuezhou, if he wanted to see him, he would not refuse, right?
