Zheng Hai hurriedly pleaded and said: "General, don't say that it is in my small Guangling County, even in the entire Datong, that is also a big person who can speak, how can it be difficult for you to get this little thing?" ”

Xiao Mo was very useful in saying this, in fact, he also knew that this was just a compliment, he was just a small general, and it was nothing if he was really put in the Datong Army. But he was still very satisfied with Zheng Hai's praise, and a smug smile appeared on his face, but he waved his hand: "This thing is still difficult to do." ”

Zheng Hai naturally understood his intention to shirk, so he quickly took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and pushed them over: "I hope that the general can reluctantly make it difficult, as long as you can save my son, the Zheng family will be grateful." ”

Xiao Mo's eyes immediately fell on those pieces of paper, they were not silver tickets, although at this time, some people had already built some money and silver numbers, but the scale was very small, and a place like Guangling was naturally impossible, but these pieces of paper were several house deeds and land deeds, and they were also industries near Datong Mansion City. Obviously, in order to save his son, Zheng Hai was bleeding profusely.

Seeing this, the smile on Xiao Mo's face became a little bigger, but he still didn't let go: "Old Zheng, what are you doing?" With the friendship between you and me, as long as I can help, I will not stand idly by, but the gift is too foreign. Saying that, this one's hand had been honestly and unceremoniously pressed on the pieces of paper, and he could put them into his sleeve with just one movement.

Zheng Hai didn't expect that he couldn't impress the person in front of him when he took out thirty percent of his family property, and he sighed unconsciously in his heart, this guy's appetite is too big.

The scribe who had been standing behind him also narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Has the general ever heard the phrase "cold lips and teeth?" We have always had a close relationship with General Xiao, and even that business was done together. If you refuse to rescue you, I'm afraid that the county government will ask where something else is from. ”

Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Mo's face suddenly disappeared: "What, are you threatening me?" His gaze suddenly fell on the scribe's face, and he was so startled that he subconsciously took a step back: "Little ...... The little ones don't dare ......."

"Elder Zheng, if our relationship is not difficult, how can I shirk it, you say?" Xiao Mo said lightly again: "So I hope you can understand my difficulties." ”

"That's it......" Seeing that he was not satisfied with the price he paid, Zheng Hai gritted his teeth: "As long as you can rescue my son, general, my Zheng family's business in that area can be given to you in the future." ”

"Twenty percent!" Seeing that the other party finally came to the road, Xiao Mo stretched out two fingers and said.

"This ......" The other party opened his mouth widely, and he bit a large piece of his own flesh at once, but thinking about his son's current situation and the greater trouble that may be brought about by this, Zheng Hai had no choice but to admit it: "Okay, but I hope the general can save people earlier." ”

"Don't worry, I will be able to bring people back to you tomorrow, and he can still be my enemy with a county order in Lu Jin's district?" Xiao Mo smiled lazily, looking very sure.

After Zheng Hai and the others left, looking at the valuable industry at hand, and then thinking about the twenty percent of the profits they had obtained, Xiao Mo laughed proudly, as for saving people, he felt that it was simply a gesture, and he sent someone to say it, and the county government would obediently obey his fate!

@@@@@

The city of Guangling County is small and has a small population, but the speed at which the news spreads is astonishingly fast, and by the next morning, Lu County ordered to preside over the case of the Wang family, and put the relevant defendants and Zheng Fu in prison, and the situation has been well known, that is, many people outside the city already know.

At the same time, Lu County's order to be the master of the people also spread the statement that the Zheng family's previous evil deeds were reported to the yamen, which made many people feel refreshed.

If there was no move of Zheng Fu being imprisoned, the people in the city would not dare to believe this statement, after all, the officials protect each other. But now, the situation is completely different, many sufferers who have been killed by the Zheng family, and even died in their families, are already moved and plan to come to complain.

After the hour, as the county government opened the door, some people rushed to complain about grievances, and the county government did not disappoint, and quickly welcomed people in for detailed interrogation.

When the first few groups of people came out, many people went to inquire about the news, and after learning that the county government had indeed accepted their case, more bitter people came to complain. In just half a day's work, no less than twenty or thirty people gathered in front of the county yamen, which caused everyone around to look sideways, and even many people were still inquiring about the news in the meantime, so it was not lively.

The people in the county government are also very busy today, after Lu Zhen suddenly made a difficult move to put Zheng Fu into prison yesterday, the scribes and messengers under him have long been intimidated by his momentum, and Hou Shen and the others are helping behind them, and the inquiry into the Zheng family has become smoother and smoother. In just half a day, seven or eight cases were investigated and reported to Lu Jin.

Looking at the complaints on the desk, a smile appeared on Lu Jin's face: "Isn't it just a bully, as long as you catch the flaws, you can't catch it?" After all, he is just a young man in his twenties, and he will naturally feel very proud when he accomplishes something big.

At this moment, Lin Lie limped and sent over a new complaint. Now this reputation in the county government has also grown, and ordinary people also nod their heads when they see him, everyone knows that he is already a close confidant of the county magistrate, as long as Lu Zhen stabilizes the situation, this Lin lame man can become a real power figure in the yamen.

It's just that Lin Lie didn't have Lu Jin's smug smile on his face, but his expression became very serious, after entering the door, seeing Lu Jin's smile, he felt even more strange, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Although Lu Zhen was quite excited, he was still quite sober, and after receiving the complaint, he noticed something unusual: "Brother Lin, do you have any difficulties?" I wonder if you can tell me a little bit more about it? ”

Since he asked, Lin Lie no longer held back, and immediately said, "My lord, I feel that things are far from being able to relax." On the contrary, the troubles we are about to face have only just begun. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Jin's smile suddenly narrowed, and he hurriedly asked.

"My lord, do you know how powerful the Zheng family is in the county?"

"I have heard of this, it is said that they have been rooted here for decades, and there are many people who can be used in both the yamen and the people."

"Don't you think it's strange, my lord? Why did Zheng Fu be taken by you, and the Zheng family never moved? Lin Lie frowned and asked again.

Lu Zhen was stunned again when he said this, only to realize that he was indeed happy too early. Indeed, according to common sense, when Zheng Fu is taken, there will always be people who come to intercede or something, but it's been half a day and a night, and I haven't seen anyone say anything, which looks a little strange in itself.

Lu Jin would not be so arrogant as to think that his performance yesterday had suppressed the people in the county, even the Zheng family did not dare to resist. Of course, he took advantage of the power of the court to convict Zheng Fu, but the other party still had the strength to fight. Thinking about it this way, they only have one explanation if they don't move, the other party is accumulating strength and is ready to give themselves a ruthless blow.

Seeing that Lu Jin's expression became solemn, Lin Lie also breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that the other party would not be able to listen to his advice when he got carried away. Then he added: "Although the little ones don't know what they are thinking, they can still guess the general things. ”

"You say." Lu Jin hurriedly said.

"First, the adults were caught off guard by this move, so they couldn't react for a while, but this was minimal." Lin Lie said softly: "Second, they are ready to ask for help from the Datong Mansion, after all, your lordship has also said that this matter will be handed over to the government to make the final decision." Moreover, they also know that your lordship is determined to be an enemy of your own family, so it is naturally impossible to intercede again. ”

Lu Zhen nodded and agreed: "If this is really troublesome, things are really troublesome." However, I now have a lot of incriminating evidence, and even if the government wants to exonerate him, I have to weigh it. He also had this concern for a long time, which is why he spoke in public and began to accept these complaints today, in order to seize this great opportunity.

Lin Lie nodded in agreement: "What the adults said is very true, so the most worrying thing about the little one is the third possibility." ”

"But what?"

"Do you remember the resale of military rations?" After seeing the other party nodding, Lin Lie continued: "Although there is no substantial evidence, if the garrison in the city wants to do this, it still needs ordinary people to help, and in my Guangling County, who else can be more suitable than the Zheng family?" ”

Lu Zhen took a sharp breath: "You mean, the Zheng family's backer is the garrison in the north?" ”

"Exactly. Therefore, the little one is worried that the Zheng family has not moved, that is, they have already asked for help from the army, I am afraid that they will intervene in this matter, and it will be difficult to do it at that time. ”

Lu Jin's mind spun extremely fast, and some of his previous doubts had been reasonably explained by these words. Why did Lu County Ling suffer because of this incident, I am afraid that nine times out of ten it is related to the traitor in the county government, and this traitor is most likely Zheng Fu or his subordinates.

This idea made Lu Jinru be poured a basin of cold water on his head for a lifetime, and the pride and joy just now dissipated in an instant. Things really got more tricky, and his opponent suddenly turned into a more powerful and difficult garrison.

At this moment, a handyman rushed to the door with a strange look: "Sir, there is a letter here." ”

Lu Zhen ordered him to take it in, and when he opened it to take a look, his expression became even more nervous, he raised his head and looked at Lin Lie: "Brother Lin, all this is really right for you, the general Xiao in the army actually sent a letter to let me go!" When he said the last few words, he gritted his teeth a little.
