Seeing that Lu Zhen suddenly fell silent, Ying Ding, who had just been held by someone, shouted loudly: "This lord, he Lu County not only ordered us to be fired at will, but now he even connived at his subordinates to commit murder and injure us in public, and I hope you will be the master for us!" β
"Now that the official has seen it, he will make the decision for you and others." Zhang Cheng glanced at them, and then stared at Lu Jin: "Lu County Order, as a speech official, since I have seen this matter, I want to uphold justice for others!" If you fail to give me a reasonable explanation today, this official will impeach you. β
Several officers, including Lin Lie, didn't notice a change in their faces. Although they are not officials, they also know the power of the officials, and if Lu Jin's county order is really impeached by him, it will inevitably have a great impact on his future. And as far as the habit of the Yanguan has always been attacking them in groups, Lu Zhen will even be impeached by many people this time.
At a moment when everyone was a little anxious but powerless, the silent Lu Zhen spoke: "Lord Zhang is really iron-faced and selfless, which really makes the officials admire." However, there is something unclear about the lower officials, and I hope you can solve your doubts. β
Seeing that his attitude was quite sincere, Zhang Cheng made up his mind, knowing that his deterrence had worked: "You said, this official will not hide anything from you." β
"Dare to ask where Master Zhang lives?"
"Does this have anything to do with this?" Zhang Cheng frowned, but he still responded casually: "This official now lives in Rabbit Hutong in the south of the city, why do you want to come to the door to talk about it?" β
"Don't dare. Then let me ask again, Lord Zhang, are you here to do business in Daxing County today, or do you want to go to Shuntianfu? Lu Zhen continued to ask with a smile.
"Neither." Zhang Cheng immediately shook his head, and said a little impatiently: "Lu County Order, you don't have to talk about him left and right, let's make the matter in front of you clear first!" β
Lu Zhen laughed, but his eyes were already cold, his waist was straightened, and his voice became louder: "This official is a little puzzled, you live in the south of the city, and the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not here, and you are not here for business in Daxing County or Shuntianfu, so why did you suddenly appear here, and you just happened to see this scene?" β
"What do you mean?" Zhang Cheng asked loudly, but a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
Lu Zhen stared at him without hesitation: "What I mean is, Zhang Cheng, how much benefit did you receive from Lu Tu, and you dare to cover him up like this?" β
"You are spewing blood, when did I receive the benefits of Lu Xiancheng? I didn't even know that there was such a person in the county government! Zhang Cheng immediately denied it loudly, but there was a taste of weakness in his words.
But Lu Zhen laughed again, his face full of ridicule: "Zhang Cheng, you don't recruit yourself." I only said Lu Tu just now, but you said the identity of the county prince in one word, and you still dare to say that you don't recognize him? β
Zhang Cheng's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, he knew that he was careless, and he was actually tricked by Lu Jin. And now in front of so many people, he didn't even have the possibility of denying it, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Lu Zhen took another step forward at this time: "Now Lord Zhang, you can go back and join everyone to impeach me." But I, Lu Jin, am not someone who can be wronged at will, and I will report everything that happened today. Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and I want to see who is more likely to win the trust of the world in the end! Even if I am impeached once, I will be fined at most a few dollars, but what about you Zhang Yushi? What will happen to you if you are found to have taken bribes and impeached me on behalf of others? β
Zhang Cheng's face had quickly turned from red to blue, and finally to pale, and he knew that the other party was holding his handle.
Yanguan has always been an invincible existence in the court, and only they have the share of impeaching people, but few people can threaten them. But they are not entirely without weaknesses, at least their own reputation is the most crucial. If a speaker is accused of having a bad moral character and is suspected of accepting bribes, then the other colleagues will not hesitate to attack him. Because everyone can stand on the court by clearing their names, they must not let a mouse poop spoil the whole pot of porridge!
After a change in complexion, Zhang Cheng finally retreated. He didn't dare to entangle more, because he saw the determination in Lu Jin's eyes, and knew that if he was really forced to pass, this young county magistrate would definitely not back down, and he didn't want to know what would happen to him at that time.
A few words forced Zhang Cheng back, and Lu Jinfang exhaled a breath of turbidity, glanced at Ying Ding and a few of them, and waved his hand: "Bring it in and interrogate it carefully!" β
"Yes!" These words finally brought back the stunned few messengers, and at this time, their eyes when they looked at Lu Zhen changed from respect to awe. It turns out that his own adults are so tough and eloquent, and they can actually squeeze out one of the most difficult speech officials directly with words.
And Ying Ding and a few of them, looking like defeated roosters at this time, didn't dare to resist at all, so they were directly escorted into the county government by several messengers.
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Zeng Guang and Yue Liqiu, who hurried back, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes, but more joy. This time, the two of them were in the right position, and they didn't follow Lu Tu all the way to the black. With the tough attitude shown by Lu Jin, Lu Tu is afraid that it will be difficult to regain the initiative.

"What do you say? Just one person knocked down Ying Ding and a few of them? After receiving an affirmative reply from his subordinates in front of him, Lu Tu couldn't help but scold: "Waste, it's all a bunch of waste!" You can't even deal with such a cripple, what's the use of them! By the way, what about Zhang Cheng? Did he go? β
The subordinates hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth what they saw afterwards. He was ordered by Lu Tu to go to the county government to keep an eye on him, and it was too abrupt to mix in with the ordinary people. It is precisely because he has seen the process of what happened with his own eyes that he has palpitations, worried that his master's persistence will bring bad results.
But after all, he was just a subordinate, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only tell everything he saw in detail, hoping that Lu Tu would be able to retreat from the difficulty.
Lu Tu was indeed shocked when he heard it, this Lu Zhen is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, even the official who he thought was enough to restrain him was sent away by him in a few words, so wouldn't he really be unable to fight back?
Immediately, his heart sank again, I'm afraid things won't be so simple. People have already fallen into the hands of the other party, and if Lu Zhen uses them to make some articles, his situation will be quite bad. The more he thought about it, the more weak his heart became, which made a layer of cold sweat break out on his back.
You can't sit still, you have to do something! Yes, you must first get people into your own hands, and you must not let Lu Zhen pry open their mouths! Thinking of this, Lu Tu immediately stood up from the chair, but startled the men in front of him: "Master, what are you?" β
"I'll go to the county office!" With a cold face, Lu Tu stepped out, his steps were extremely fast, and he was really in such a hurry as he was now.
Seeing this, the man wanted to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth, he didn't dare to touch his master's moldy head at this time.

Less than an hour after Lu Zhen took the people down, Lu Tu had already hurried over. When he stepped into the gate of the county government, he clearly felt the difference in atmosphere. Although the people were still those people, the eyes of the people looking at him were cold, as if they were looking at a stranger without emotion.
The stammering smiles in the past have turned into alienation at the moment, and none of them even came to greet him in Lu County. Under the cold gaze of everyone, the momentum on Lu Tu's body weakened again, and his pace slowed down, he knew that his situation this time was very bad.
Following the familiar road all the way, he soon entered the public house of the Lord of Ertang County, looking at the two false doors, he didn't even dare to go over and push the door to enter.
At this time, Zeng Guang on the other side happened to come out of his room with a paperwork, and when he saw Lu Tu standing there hesitantly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked dryly: "Aren't you sick and recuperating at home, Lu Xiancheng?" Why did you come again? β
ββ¦β¦ I heard that something had happened to the county government, so I naturally had to come with illness. Lu Tu remembered his previous actions, his face was embarrassed, and he quickly found an excuse that was not an excuse.
"What, do you want to see Lord Xianzun?" Zeng Guang glanced at him, and without waiting for his answer, he walked to Lu Jin's door and knocked lightly a few times.
Immediately, Lu Jin's voice came from inside: "Come in and talk." β
Zeng Guang entered in response, and Lu Tu, who was standing outside the door, followed after a little hesitation.
Lu Zhen sat behind the case, didn't look at Lu Tu, who came in later, and only asked Zeng Guang: "Is this the expense of a few porridge sheds today?" β
"Exactly, the three porridge sheds share two hundred and seventy-two catties of rice today, as well as medicinal herbs......" Zeng Guang reported in a low voice, and he didn't pay attention to Lu Tu behind him, as if he had made him transparent.
Lu Tu was hung aside by the two of them as if they were ignored, and he was very angry in his heart, but in such a situation, he didn't dare to really turn his face, so he could only wait with a dark face. To be honest, he had never eaten such a deflated meal in all these years.
It wasn't until the two discussed for a while and decided on tomorrow's things that Zeng Guangfang said goodbye and left. During this period, the county government master who had obeyed Lu Tuyan didn't even look at him.
And it wasn't until after Zeng Guang left that Lu Jinfang raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Tu, as if he had just seen the extra person in front of him, and exclaimed: "Hey, why are you here in Lu County?" Aren't you sick and need to recuperate at home? Could it be that Ying Ding and a few of them made such a fuss in front of the county yamen, and they still have the effect of curing diseases? In the end, there was a deep sense of ridicule in his tone.
