On the canal, in one of the independent cabins of the official ship, Lu Zhen sat alone, looking out through the half-open window.

Since Yue Nanxing was taken away by the official army in front of everyone, the attitude of his brothers towards Lu Zhen has changed, and there is a lot of suspicion in his eyes, so he no longer entertains him as before, but directly locks him in such a cabin.

After locking the door and warning him not to think about escaping, they added: "If something really happens to my Boss Yue, I will definitely kill you to avenge him!" "The threat in that is quite sufficient.

However, Lu Zhen was not worried about his situation, because he believed in Yu Qian. Even if he had guessed that someone in the palace would try his best to exonerate the Cao Gang from this incident and annihilate Yue Nanxing and them in one fell swoop, as long as Yu Qian came forward, the situation would develop in the direction he wanted.

That's right, Yu Qian was at the invitation of Lu Jin, so he suddenly brought people to appear in the government at that critical moment.

Who is Yu Qian? That is a peerless minister who can turn the tide and even the crumbling Ming Dynasty can be supported by him single-handedly, how can he not be able to suppress some petty officials and officials in Suzhou City with their own selfishness?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhen turned around the thing he had done before-

After proposing to Kang Sichuan to go home to rest, Lu Zhen did not go back immediately, but went to the post station first.

Although the post station was very tightly guarded because of Yu Qian's stay, Lu Zhen was from the government after all, and he also sent Yu Qian into it last night, so as soon as he was informed, he was able to enter smoothly and met Lord Yu, who was in good spirits.

After a few words of greeting, Lu Zhen no longer went around in circles, but went straight to the point: "Lord Yu, I came down today to hope to get your help." ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Yu Qian asked a little puzzled. If Suzhou Mansion really wants to come forward to himself, it should be Kang Sichuan, the prefect, how can it be replaced by a master like him. However, Master Yu, who had already dealt with Lu Zhen several times, did not immediately refuse this request, but just looked at the other party and waited for him to explain further.

Lu Zhen didn't hide it, and simply told the situation he got from Yue Nanxing, and finally said: "I'm really worried that some people in the yamen will do murderous actions for their own interests. If that were the case, there would be too many unjust deaths. Therefore, I hope that you can intervene in this matter, so as to set things right. ”

"You...... Is this true? Yu Qian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked straight over. And Lu Zhen did not avoid his scrutinizing gaze, and calmly touched it. After staring at each other for a while, Yu Qiancai asked again: "Even if it is really as you said, aren't you afraid that Kang Zhifu is also an insider, thus harming him?" You're one of his staff. ”

"Kang Zhifu is really good to me, but the public is public, and the private is private, and I will not help him because of this. What's more, Mr. Xia felt that he was not deeply involved in this matter, and doing so was helping him get rid of the previous deadlock. Lu Zhen gave his thoughts without hesitation.

After another period of silence, Yu Qian nodded and said: "Although this matter is suspected of transgression, since the stakes are very high, as an official of the imperial court, I should return the truth to the people of the world and justice to the victims." However, I must make it clear that this official will not only listen to your family, nor will he give you any guarantees until the case is cleared. ”

"Lord Yu really acted fairly, and I admire it." Lu Zhen nodded in response, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. With Yu Qian's insurance, everything is no longer a problem.

It was precisely because he went to beg Yu Qian that Lu Zhen did not return home until the afternoon, so that he couldn't rest for too long, and was called back by Kang Sichuan again.

However, it is precisely because of this previous arrangement that Lu Jin, even if he is surrounded by the chaotic people, still seems very calm, not the slightest panic, just waiting for the final result to come.

Compared to him, these officials in the yamen looked a little uneasy. They looked at each other one by one, and they all found that each other's faces were a little pale, and their hearts were raised.

Because at this time, Yu Qian was already sitting upright, carefully asking Yue Nanxing, who was kneeling down, about everything that had happened in the past six months. With every word he spoke, everyone's hearts tightened, and in a few moments, sweat was already pouring out of their foreheads.

Especially Zhao Keyuan, his body was trembling slightly. But now, there is nothing he can do about it, because the Kang Governor's Mansion has made it clear that he is willing to hand over the power to hear this matter, and everything is up to Lord Yu Qianyu to decide. Since their own bosses and those who are really in charge of this matter have said so, they naturally can't object to it, so they can only wait for the final decision.

It was Kang Sichuan, who was smiling at this time, looking much more relaxed than before. Originally, no matter what he did, he would have to carry the black cauldron on his back, but when Yu Qian came, he was relieved. Even he maliciously hoped that Yu Qian could reveal all the truth, so that Zhao Keyuan and others could taste the bitter fruit.

And things are also developing rapidly in the direction he expected, after interrogating Yue Nanxing, Yu Qian finally looked at Zhao Keyuan and the others with a slight change in his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything to say about everything you said to the criminals?" ”

"I hope that Lord Yu will not listen to this person's nonsense. It was only when he knew that he had sinned deeply this time that he came up with such a statement to excuse himself. Zhao Keyuan hurriedly retorted.

"Yes, Lord Yu, our officials are deeply favored by the imperial court, how could they do what he said about colluding with the Cao Gang to harm the people? These are all his false words, and they must not be believed! Some other officials also made statements to defend themselves, but they were not too confident.

Yu Qian looked at them with a smile, his gaze slowly swept over their faces one by one. It made many people's hearts beat wildly, and a few people with poor psychological quality even lowered their eyelids and didn't dare to look at him.

However, Yu Qian would not use the other party's weakness as evidence of his decision, but just smiled and said: "Since the matter is difficult to distinguish, then bring the people from the Cao Gang to ask questions." Come on, go and bring Li Yanjiu and the others from the Cao Gang to the hall! ”

As Yu Qian stopped drinking, some soldiers agreed loudly, and then led by the messenger to the signing room on the side, and brought Li Yanjiu and several of his companions, who had been drinking tea and resting, to this side.

Because they had been isolated before, Li Yanjiu and the others didn't know about the changes here. After entering the hall, he subconsciously looked at Zhao Keyuan: "Didn't you say that you would just put on a show and let us go back when the matter was over?" Why did you take us to court for questioning again? ”

"Bold, dare to be so presumptuous in the court! Come, take him down with me! With Yu Qian's angry reprimand, the two soldiers immediately stepped forward, just like the soldiers who had just dealt with Yue Nanxing, and kicked Li Yanjiu and the others to their knees.

It was only at this time that Li Yanjiu and the others realized that it was not Kang Zhifu sitting on them, but a more dignified middle-aged official. The pair of eyes that looked at them seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and they felt a burst of hair in their hearts. Originally, because of this sudden anger, it was forcibly suppressed.

Li Yanjiu is also a person who can stretch and shrink, and after feeling that the situation was not good, he immediately softened: "The grass people know their sins, and I hope that the adults will forgive them." But Lord Zhao had indeed agreed with the grass people before, so he ......"

"Well, let it be that you don't know that you don't sin." Yu Qian didn't dwell on him more about this matter, but asked after a shocking shot: "Li Yanjiu, this official asks you, now Yue Nanxing has accused you of killing dozens of his family and friends, can you plead guilty?" ”

Li Yanjiu's body suddenly stiffened, and only then did he know what the problem was. However, he was not an ordinary person, although he was frightened, but his reaction was quite fast, and he immediately replied: "My lord, this is a false accusation, the grass people have always obeyed the law, how could they do such a thing." ”

With him starting, the other Cao Gang members also came back to their senses and shouted together: "My lord, I have been wronged." Our Cao Gang has always kept to ourselves, and we never dared to do such a lawless thing. It's that Yue Nanxing, he is ruthless, and last night he led people to set fire, not only burned a lot of ships of my Cao Gang, but also attacked official ships, such things are seen by everyone, and I hope that my lord will see it! ”

These people are indeed fearless. Although the news of their killing of Yue Nanxing's brothers and family was also rumored in the city, after all, more than half a year had passed, and the evidence had already been destroyed. So at this time, Yu Qian wanted to track down, and there was almost nowhere to start.

Yue Nanxing on the side was so angry that his whole body trembled after hearing them say this, but at the same time, his heart also sank. I really thought about things simply, thinking that as long as the government accepted the case, my grievances would be revealed. But now it seems that it is too difficult and difficult to reveal the truth of the case.

Even Yu Qian frowned slightly at this time: "You really didn't do this?" ”

"My lord, Suzhou City has its own government, and we are just small people who work hard, how dare we do this, and how can we hide it from the government?" Li Yanjiu said again.

Zhao Keyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, just now this adult was aggressive, and it really scared him a lot, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that. So he also followed: "Lord Yu, this is just an excuse made up by Yue Nanxing to excuse himself, and it is really not enough to believe it." ”

knew that they were all colluding and lying, but they couldn't be solved, and the span of time made this case an unsolvable death case. Even Yu Qian, after being silent for a while, could only shoot a few cases: "Escort all the people to this official, and wait for tomorrow's retrial!" "It seems that even he has run out of options.
