Traveling through the ancient times

They randomly asked someone about Chairman Wu's home address, and then they arrived at the gate of Wu's house. It was obvious that the gate of this house was built with a lot of people's money, and it was even more luxurious than the gate of the county government.

The gatekeeper saw a group of people standing in front of their door, looking around and pointing at the door, but seeing that they were dressed in brocade and had an extraordinary temperament, he did not dare to drive them away rashly.

So he went over and asked in a friendly manner, "Excuse me, are you here at the gate of the Wu Mansion for something?"

"Yes, we are here to look for Master Wu Ming." Since others were polite to them, they would not make things difficult for a gatekeeper, and they also reported the purpose of their visit in a friendly manner.

"Do you have an appointment with my master? Please tell me your name so that I can pass it on."

Lu Mingcheng glanced at Jiang Ruixue, who understood immediately and said to the servant, "Just say that the young lady from the Qunan Jiang family is here to see Master Wu."

"Yes, please wait a moment. I will go and tell them right away." After the servant said this, he ran in.

Wu Ming was still in his room, hugging his newly married beautiful concubine and reveling in the gentleness of her love!

Wu Ming's follower Ji An listened to the report from the doorman and walked up to knock on the door without distraction.

Wu Ming's unhappy voice came from the room, "Who?"

"Master, the concierge came to report that a group of people came to the gate. One of the ladies claimed to be the daughter of Qu Nanjiang's family and came to visit you, Master."

"Qu Nan Jiang family?" Wu Ming thought about it. Could it be the Jiang family of his mother's cousin's brother-in-law? "The Jiang family of the imperial concubine's maiden family?"

"I don't know this little one, would you like to see him, Master?"

Why did the Jiang family come here? You know, he is here under the banner of the Imperial Concubine. If the Jiang family knew about this, what would happen?

I don't know what Miss Jiang is up to. Let's go meet her first. What is there to be afraid of for a little girl? This is his territory. At worst, she will never come back. "See you, invite her to the main hall!"

Wu Ming stood up, and the concubine arranged his clothes for him. Wu Ming kissed her on the face and said, "Wait in the room. Master, I will go meet this Miss Jiang and then come back to pamper you, my little devil."

The concubine hit Wu Ming and said coquettishly, "Then Master, please hurry up and don't let me wait too long."

"Don't worry, I won't let you wait too long." Wu Ming said and patted his concubine on the butt again before walking out.

Watching Wu Ming walk out, the concubine turned around. The shy look on her face was gone, and only gnashing hatred remained.

Jiang Ruixue and the others waited in the hall for a cup of tea before Wu Ming came over slowly.

Walking into the hall, Wu Ming calmly looked up and down at the two women and one man sitting there. Wasn't she the daughter of the Jiang family? Why was there a man too?

Wu Ming walked up to Nian Chuhua and Jiang Ruixue and bowed to each of them. "I didn't know you were coming. I hope Miss Jiang will forgive me for not welcoming you."

Nian Chuhua quickly stood up and returned the greeting, "Mr. Wu, you misunderstood. This is Miss Jiang. I am Miss Jiang's friend. I am sorry to bother you, Mr. Wu."

Jiang Ruixue stood up and returned the gift to Wu Ming. "My friend and I passed by here and heard that Mr. Wu in the town is a relative of my aunt, the imperial concubine. He must be a relative of the Jiang family, so I came to visit Mr. Wu."

"Oh, so that's how it is. The Imperial Concubine and I are cousins. Miss Jiang should naturally call Wu your uncle."

"Yes, Uncle Wu!"

"You're welcome, please take a seat!" Wu Ming walked to the front and motioned Jiang Ruixue and others to sit down.

"Does Uncle Wu and his family live here permanently? This is the first time I've met Uncle Wu."

"Yes, my Wu family has lived here for generations."

"No wonder I never heard my father mention it. I guess it's because we live too far away and we don't see each other often."

"Well, Miss Jiang, are you here for fun or for something?"

"My good sister bought some fruits in Huai'an, and we sailed here to help her transport them back. We met someone from the Chamber of Commerce at the dock, and then we learned that Uncle Wu was here."

Wu Ming understood as soon as he heard it. Most likely, the people from the Chamber of Commerce were asking for too high a price, so they started a fuss.

"I see. I rarely take care of the Chamber of Commerce's affairs now, but the Chamber of Commerce's managers are flattering me and gave me the title of president. I wonder if Miss Jiang has encountered any difficult problems?"

"It wasn't a big deal. The people from the Chamber of Commerce wanted to charge us 500 taels for the docking fee. We thought it was a bit too expensive, so they asked the servants to beat us up. Then we went to the county government office.

The county magistrate said that you are a relative of the imperial concubine, and he has difficulty dealing with your people, so we came to ask you, how should this matter be handled? "

When Wu Ming heard the number five hundred taels, he scolded those people. Why wouldn't these people listen? He had told them many times not to be so outrageous, yet they still asked for five hundred taels as soon as they opened their mouths. It would be strange if they didn't make a fuss.

At the same time, he also scolded the county magistrate and said some bad things to him, and then he gave him away.

"What are you talking about, sir? All matters in Qidong County must be handled by sir. I am a relative of the imperial concubine, but this is not something I can control!"

"I wonder which branch of the Jiang family Uncle Wu is from?"

Wu Ming's face changed. Is Miss Jiang going to dig deep into the matter? "Oh, my mother's cousin's brother-in-law is the third master of your Jiang family."

"Oh!" So there really is such a long-winded relationship? Or a relative from the great-grandfather's generation! Jiang Ruixue turned around and glanced at Lu Mingcheng.

Lu Mingcheng's mind was confused for a moment. He hadn't figured out who this relative was...

Lu Mingcheng looked at Wu Ming with an ambiguous look in his eyes, "I wonder how the county magistrate knew about the complicated relationship between Master Wu and the Imperial Concubine..."

Jiang Ruixue said casually, "Even our family members don't know this, so it must be difficult for outsiders to know it."

How could Wu Ming not know? Jiang Ruixue's meaning was that if you don't tell anyone, even your family doesn't know, so how would others know?

"I didn't know that the county magistrate was so powerful that he even knew about this."

"Why don't you, Uncle Wu, go with us to ask the county magistrate?" This means that they want to confront each other face to face. How could Wu Ming agree to this?

"This is not a good idea. The county magistrate is a local official. If we question him like this, I'm afraid he will be unhappy."

"It's okay. We also don't believe that Uncle Wu would abuse his power in the name of Aunt Imperial Concubine. The county magistrate said that we can confront him face to face." Jiang Ruixue was too lazy to play tricks with this guy anymore and just brought it out directly. Everyone spoke frankly and didn't bother to think too much.

Wu Ming saw that Jiang Ruixue had stopped pretending, and with a fake smile on his face, he bowed to Jiang Ruixue.

"Mr. Wu is innocent, but I have caught a cold these days. The doctor said it is not advisable to go out in the wind. Miss Jiang, why don't you wait a little longer? I will ask the doctor to come over and take my pulse. If I am well again, I will go to the county government with Miss Jiang tomorrow. What do you think, Miss Jiang?"

"Okay! Then we'll wait for news from Uncle Wu." Jiang Ruixue couldn't just arrest the man directly. Since he said tomorrow, then let's wait until tomorrow and see what tricks he can play.

"Okay, Miss Jiang and your friend, why don't you stay at my house tonight? We can go to the county government office together tomorrow." Jiang Ruixue didn't dare to stay at his house. What if he had any conspiracy? Wouldn't that mean she would be handed over to others?

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Wu. We already have a place to stay, so we won't bother you here any more."

Wu Ming nodded and said nothing more.

Jiang Ruixue said goodbye, "We won't disturb my uncle's rest. Goodbye!"

Wu Ming asked the servant to send the few people out, frowned, and turned to go to the study.
