In the past two days, the atmosphere in the Yali of Daxing County has suddenly become strange and tense.

After Lu Tu was sent by the county order to Shuntianfu to report three cases, the whole person looked very gloomy, so that even his cronies did not dare to approach at will, and everyone was trembling, for fear that once he did something wrong, he would provoke Lu Xiancheng's punishment.

However, there are also some who are deliberately opening up the relationship with Lu Tu, such as Zeng Guang, the chief bookkeeper of the same Zuo Erguan, and Yue Liqiu, who were also the second official, and the things that Lu Tu arranged before, they actually dragged it down, and when their subordinates went to urge, they directly replied that there was something important and sent them away.

When all this was seen by people with intentions, many people in the county government knew that the situation had changed. It seems that Lu Xiancheng, who has held great power in the county government over the years, has met a real opponent, and they have to leave a way back for themselves.

The more people had such thoughts, the worse the situation of Lu Tu and his subordinates became. And at this time, Lu Xiancheng and they can't be angry and punish the people below, otherwise they will only push people out, and it will only be them who will suffer. It was not until this time that some people understood a truth, it turned out that the county was not a county order after all, and if he really wanted to seize power, he was nominally weaker than one.

The upset Lu Tu didn't want to see the changed faces of the servants who were originally respectful to him, so he spent the whole day in his public house thinking about countermeasures. But after a few days, he didn't have too many clues, unless he dared to use some extraordinary means, it seemed impossible to deal with Lu Zhen within the rules.

Is it really necessary to take such a risk? Unable to make a decision, he was pacing quickly in the room with his hands behind his back, and the expression on his face was so gloomy that he could drip water. But in the end, he still didn't dare to make this decision, because he knew very well what the outcome would be once the matter was revealed.

This is the city of Beijing at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how many eyes are staring at them, as long as someone wants to investigate, they will definitely be able to find out the truth. And if Lu Jin's mistake really goes wrong, with his status as an official of the imperial court, a yamen like the Criminal Department will definitely investigate to the end.

But not making a move will only make Lu Jin's momentum in the county government stronger and stronger. In a few days, the county magistrate has pulled the two subordinates who were originally obedient away from him, and if he goes down any more and does not react at all, I am afraid that more people will see the wind and rudder.

Suddenly, Lu Tu's footsteps stopped, and his heart had already turned to an idea. Although he really can't do anything with Lu Jin's county order now, he can make an example of Zeng Guang and them. Everyone has worked together in the county government for so many years, and they know their own background clearly, as long as they use it a little, it is enough to make them ruined. And in this way, you can also remind the guys below who are ready to move, so that they know how good they are!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lu Tu's face that he hadn't seen for a long time, but this smile looked a little gloomy. He hurried back to the table, took out a piece of paper, and quickly wrote something. Xu was excited, and soon he felt thirsty, but the tea bowl at hand was empty, so he shouted outside: "Come on!" ”

The door opened in response, but Lu Tu was a little surprised. He wasn't arrogant enough to let people stay outside at any time, so why did he enter immediately? It's just that after seeing the look on the face of the visitor, his heart sank, because this person seemed to have something urgent to report: "My lord, something happened." ”

"What's wrong again?" Lu Tu asked after calming down, looking very calm. At this time, he must behave calmly in front of his subordinates, otherwise it will only make more people feel uneasy and leave him because of it.

"Zeng Guang went to see Lu Xian Ling before, and then not long after, he took Ying Ding and his three brothers in!" The man hurried to report.

"What?" At this moment, Lu Tu couldn't keep his composure anymore, and as he spoke, he suddenly stood up from his position, staring at the cronie in front of him viciously, his face full of anger and disbelief.

Because he knew too well what the three of Ying Ding meant to him. These three yacha are all cronies who he picked up single-handedly, and there are too many things that are difficult to see people are handed over to these three people, and now they are actually mentioned by Lu Jin! If Lu Zhen interrogated and asked what happened, his situation would be even worse.

"Zeng Guang!" Lu Tu immediately burst out these two words from between his teeth. I just had this plan, this guy took the preemptive strike, and sure enough, this person is his biggest hidden danger!

He had no doubt that it was precisely because of Zeng Guang's confession in front of Lu Jin that Lu Jin would suddenly attack! But he was still a little puzzled: "Ying Ding and the three of them are so obedient?" Easily let Lu Zhen take it? Or was there someone else in the county office who had already started to side with him at this time? ”

This is indeed crucial, if the latter is the case, your own situation is even more dangerous, and it is even possible that others will attack you immediately.

"The other yacha just stood by and watched, they were taken down by the lame man named Lin Lie who had just been inserted into the county ya. When they started, the three of them only looked at each other, and they were all knocked to the ground by that guy, so they could only be obediently taken by him to see Lu County. As the man spoke, there was a hint of trepidation in his eyes.

Hearing this answer, Lu Tu took another breath: "No wonder he dared to do this, it turned out that there were capable people around him." At the same time, I was also sad and angry in my heart, the people in the county government were really some wall grass, and at this time, they were all just watching from the wall!

"My lord, what are we going to do?" The cronie asked, a little frightened. He was obviously afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of those three companions, so he desperately needed to find a sense of security from Lu Tu.

Lu Tu, who felt this, didn't think too much, so he said: "Go, follow me to see Lu County Order!" "Now, whether he wants to or not, whether he is ready or not, he must go to confront Lu Zhen head-on. Otherwise, if the cronies around him are all like this, others will only become faster.

The man hurriedly agreed, turned around and opened the door for him, and then followed Lu Tu with some trepidation towards the county magistrate's mansion not far away. When passing by another signing room next to him, Yue Liqiu inside just raised his eyes to take a look, and then lowered his head and got busy with himself. This scene fell into the eyes of the surrounding officers, and there was another strange look and eye contact.

If it was before, although Yue Liqiu would not come over to salute, he would still say hello. But now it's good, he completely ignored Lu Xiancheng, and what this represents is naturally self-evident.

Lu Tu was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to make any more extraneous branches, so he had to snort coldly, and then shook his hand and came directly to the door of Lu Jin's public house. Just when he was about to push the door in, he suddenly thought of something, and the movements of his hands suddenly stopped, and then glanced at the subordinates beside him, and motioned for the other party to come over and knock on the door.

In the past, when he saw those county orders, they all entered the house directly, and although the other party was unhappy, he didn't have a problem with him. But now, Lu County Chengke, who is at a disadvantage, has no such confidence, so he can only act according to the rules.

The door opened in response, but to Lu Tu's surprise, there were no Ying Ding and the three of them, only Lu Zhen and Zeng Guang, who were all looking at him with a smile at the moment.

Seeing him come in, Lu Zhen smiled as if it was okay: "Lu Xiancheng has something important, why do you look so eager?" ”

"I ......" After taking a deep breath and stabilizing his mind, Lu Tucai continued: "The lower official heard that a few servants in the yamen were knocked down and taken away by the people around the adults just now, so he came to ask what happened. I don't know what mistakes they have made, why do adults want to rectify them like this? And, where have they gone now? ”

"Oh, you're talking about the three people just now, they actually dared to ask the people who came to the county government to complain two days ago for money to enter the door, so the official specially ordered Lin Lie to call them for questioning. Unexpectedly, their courage was really big enough, Lin Lie was ordered to summon them and they dared to make a move with him, it was really unreasonable! Lu Jin replied unhurriedly.

Is it because of such a small thing? Lu Tu was a little confused, Lu Zhen wanted to figure out that they shouldn't just use such a small mistake. But soon, his face changed, and his heart sank.

Because Lu Zhen continued: "Originally, the official just wanted to teach them a few words and ask them to hand over the money they received. But it's good that they dare to disobey the orders of their bosses like this, and I can't ask for such people who don't obey the law. Therefore, after reprimanding, the official expelled them from the county government. ”

"What......" Lu Tu couldn't help it anymore, and asked loudly: "My lord, you actually let Ying Ding and the three of them go?" ”

"What, is there anything wrong with this official doing this? The county government is no better than other places, and a few of his lowly servants dare to contradict their own officials, and it is merciful enough for the officials not to beat their boards. Could it be that you Lu Xiancheng have any dissatisfaction with this? Lu Zhen asked rhetorically.

Lu Tuden was speechless, but his face was blue and white, and his hands and feet were even colder. He finally knew how strong and unreasonable Lu Jin's actions were. He actually used such an excuse that he didn't need any evidence at all, and fired the three most useful subordinates under his command from the yamen, and he couldn't even come up with an argument against it.

In the end, he could only say one sentence: "But they are the old men of the county government, and they have made meritorious contributions to the county government many times before, aren't you afraid of chilling everyone's hearts if you do this?" ”

Even if they had merit, they were rewarded at that time. And merit is merit, and it is excessive, and this official will not leave any mercy because of this! Lu Zhen replied firmly, and the momentum he exuded completely suppressed Lu Xiancheng in front of him!
