Although they had already guessed, when everyone heard Lu Zhen admit that this was what they meant, they still showed surprise. Subsequently, Zhang Shiqian, the deputy of the Municipal Department of Shipping, asked even more urgently: "I don't know why Lord Lu suddenly made this decision, which is really difficult for the lower officials and others to accept." ”

Just now, less than half a year after he married into the door, his much-loved concubine was also forcibly taken away by Jinyiwei, which made Zhang Shiqian feel a little annoyed, and his courage became a lot stronger. After speaking, he stared at Lu Zhen directly, waiting for the other party to give him a satisfactory answer.

In fact, not only him, but also those other officials had the same idea in their hearts, and they were very puzzled and dissatisfied with Jin Yiwei's behavior this time, although they did not open their mouths to question, but they could already see some clues from the expressions and expressions of these people.

In the face of everyone's dissatisfaction, Lu Zhen seemed quite calm, only to see him smile and say: "This is the purpose of this official to invite you to meet today." Do you know that in your opinion, the gentle and lovely, beautiful and virtuous pillow man is actually the root cause of the successive accidents of my Suzhou government merchant ships at sea? By the end of the day, his face had become a little serious.

"This ...... No way! Everyone didn't expect Lu Zhen to say this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they denied it vigorously, which was also their first reaction after hearing the sudden news.

"Do you think that my brocade guards will arrest your wives and concubines for no reason?" Lu Zhen suddenly asked again with a cold face, but it made everyone a little difficult to answer. In front of him, who dares to say that Jin Yiwei is doing nonsense by doing this?

"You may not know it, but in the past two years, there has suddenly been a charming and lovely beauty around you, and the reason why they appear next to you is precisely because they are instructed by others, in order to be able to grasp the various decisions of the local government and the time and route of the merchant ships to sea."

The officials looked at each other for a moment, although they did not deny it as before, but there was already a little more doubt in their expressions. Because Lu Zhen has a good saying, the woman who won his favor only came to the mansion in the past two years. It's just that they still can't accept this fact in their hearts, or they don't dare to accept this statement, otherwise they will be very guilty.

"Not only you, but even Governor Xiao and Tao Tiju have not been spared, after all, everyone has a love for beauty, and taking a concubine or something is also an elegant move for you and other officials." Lu Zhen continued: "But you never thought about what was wrong with this? Why can you meet a woman who is suitable for you in this Suzhou city, just because you are an official? I never thought that this was a beauty plan specially arranged for you after finding out your preferences? ”

As soon as he said this, the crowd changed color again. Many people have begun to frown and think about what happened in the beginning, and it seems that it is indeed a bit too coincidental or smooth. And everything that his wife and concubine showed was indeed too much to his liking, so that he didn't have the slightest suspicion of her...... However, they still didn't want to admit it in their hearts, so they said: "But they have always kept the women's way, how can they do something that endangers the merchant ships at sea?" ”

"That's just because you've been negligent with them

。 Have you ever heard of this place? Lu Zhen glanced at everyone as he spoke, and then saw that there was a trace of strangeness on the faces of several people, obviously thinking of something.

When one of them was stared at by Lu Jin, he couldn't resist the pressure after all, and replied: "This Xinyue Nunnery official has indeed heard Yu Niang talk about it, and she went there several times in the autumn and winter last year...... However, she has always believed in Buddhism, so isn't it natural for her to go to the nunnery? ”

Lu Zhen smiled and shook his head: "It seems that many of you also think the same thing after hearing about this place, right?" It is true that a nunnery does not seem to be a problem at all, but it is a big problem for them to go there every time a merchant ship is about to go to sea. ”

"What ......" was really moving, Zhang Shiqian almost got up from his seat, opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

"Not only that, but this official has already sent someone to the Xinyue Nunnery today to investigate, do you know what the result is?" Without waiting for everyone to reply, Lu Zhen told what happened to Yao Gan and the others there, and finally said: "Only more than ten thieves have injured the lives of nearly twenty brothers of my Jinyi Guard, this is the Xinyue Nunnery that you ignore as a nunnery, and it is such a nunnery that your pillow people go to, I don't know what else you think?" ”

"How...... How so? At this time, everyone was trembling with shock, and some did not know what to do.

Lu Jin's words are extremely serious, naturally it is impossible to make up nonsense casually, and once his wife and concubine really have a relationship with such a thief, then even he will be guilty. At this time, for these officials, the most important thing was not to rescue their own women, but to think about how to make Lord Lu believe that they had not betrayed the government, which made their expressions suddenly change, from the momentum just now to trembling.

After a while, someone suddenly came to his senses, quickly got up and saluted, and defended himself: "My lord, the lower officials have always been careful to abide by their official duties, and they have never had the mind of communicating with thieves. ”

This person's actions immediately alerted the others, and these people immediately got up one after another, begging for mercy and begging for mercy, for fear of being identified as accomplices of those thieves. Seeing their eager appearance, they almost knelt on the ground and begged Lu Jin for mercy.

Lu Zhen just sat there silently, and after receiving a lot of courtesy from everyone, he said: "This official naturally believes in the behavior of your adults, after all, this matter involves the traitors of the White Lotus Sect, let alone you, even ordinary people dare not have too close a relationship." However, whether or not the court will accept this statement is not up to the official to decide. ”

Hearing the threat in his words, everyone became more and more anxious, and hurriedly swore again, saying that he was completely ignorant of this matter, and hoped that Lu Dudu would raise his noble hand. It wasn't until they talked for a long time that the latter smiled and said, "This official said, I can't help you clarify this matter, only you can help you." ”

"What do you mean by that, my lord?" The crowd looked at him with some bewilderment.

"Of course, it's to make you guilty and make meritorious contributions. Only to help the imperial court hold those in Suzhou

Only by handing over the news to the sea, and making waves at sea, pretending to be a ghost and attacking my Ming merchant ship, can the court believe that you are innocent. Lu Zhen said softly and said his true purpose.

It's just that these people are a little confused: "This ...... I'm afraid that the lower officials don't have such skills......"

"Who's to say you don't have the power anymore? At least because of your relationship with those women, there is always a chance for them to tell the truth. Lu Zhen said, glancing at them again: "I don't think you want to see these delicate beauties being tortured by my Jinyi Guard and being tortured to death, right?" "He made such a big turn so that they could help him persuade the women.

After bringing these women here, Lu Zhen had already interrogated them, but these women only claimed to be wronged, and did not mean to explain the truth at all. And Lu Zhen also saw a rare determination in their eyes, obviously they had already embraced the heart of death, even if they were about to face the torture of Jinyiwei next, they would not change their minds.

This is the power of so-called faith after being brainwashed by the cult, and as far as Lu Zhen knows, women are even far superior to men in terms of endurance. What especially troubled him was that time was still very short, and there were already people from the White Lotus Sect who had escaped and ascended to heaven, and if they quickly notified their accomplices at sea, then there was probably no possibility of even wanting to arrest and exterminate all these culprits.

So after weighing it, Lu Zhen hit the idea on these officials. Maybe these women approached the officials with a purpose, but after a year or two of getting along, it is inevitable that no one will have true feelings for a certain official. So let them go and persuade their respective women, maybe it will really work.

After hearing Lu Jin's intentions, these officials almost didn't hesitate and agreed one after another. Speaking of which, men are much more rational than women when it comes to relationships, and when things involve their own interests, they will make the best choice for themselves, even if they will disappoint the people around them.

Seeing that they all agreed, Lu Jincai showed a smile again: "In this case, then you will be a waste of time, so let's go to see your wives and concubines in the back." Remember, you must talk to them more about the relationship over the past few days, and you must move them with emotion and reason, so that they can explain the inside story. ”

"Yes, the lower official will do his best." Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands, and then hurried away under the guidance of several brocade guards, which naturally included the prefect Xiao Wentong and Tao Yong.

It wasn't until they all went to the back that Lu Zhen let out a sigh of relief, and the subordinates on the side asked with some uncertainty: "My lord, is this method really feasible?" ”

"I guess it's going to pay off. This time, we are just giving back to the other party in the other way, since the White Lotus Sect has used beauty tricks on our officials, then we will also use this emotional means to fight them. A woman's heart is always soft when she is facing her husband, and as long as she speaks it properly, she will naturally be able to make them change their minds. And that's the only way we have now. Lu Jin said thoughtfully.
