Volume 2 The Wind and Rain in the Imperial Capital Chapter 180 The City is Full of Wind and Rain
It wasn't until the second watch that the temporary pairing between the Son of Heaven and the important ministers of the court was over, and when he walked out of the palace gate that was opened by exception, everyone's faces were extremely solemn, and the eyes that looked at Lu Zhen were full of complicated meanings, but no one opened their mouths to say anything to him.
It wasn't until everyone boarded the sedan chair in front of the palace gate and dispersed that Hu Hu gave Lu Zhen a look and took him to his carriage.
The autumn night was as cold as water, but fortunately, the slave next to the car had already prepared soup and food, so the two of them felt a burst of warmth after entering the car. After handing Lu Zhen a cup of chicken soup that had been simmering in the morning, Hu Hu drank the ginseng soup in his cup, and said with a wry smile: "Lu County Order, the old man doesn't know what to say about you, you actually thought of beating the drum and making things so out of control, what is your purpose?" β
Lu Zhen took a sip of delicious chicken soup to warm his stomach, and then looked at Hu Hu: "Boss, are you embarrassed because the lower officials have completely exposed this case, or because I beat the drum?" Without waiting for the other party to give his own answer, he continued: "With so many innocent people killed in this case, shouldn't the truth be made public to comfort the souls of the dead?" Dengwen drums were originally used to play the Son of Heaven directly, since there are many constraints in this case, it should be understandable for Xia Guan to do this, right? β
Hearing him say so reasonably, Hu Hu was a little distracted for a while. Then his face became solemn, and after thinking about it carefully, what he said really made sense. If there is an unjust case, the court should be rehabilitated. The matter of Dengwengu is not even wrong, but it is the big problem that the imperial court has tried to prevent anyone from approaching it for decades!
Is it because he has been an official for many years and has abandoned all his original conscience that he will give birth to such an idea that is obviously reversing black and white? Thinking of this, Hu Hu only felt a cold sweat, and he felt a little ashamed. This made him just look at Lu Jin, but he didn't know what to say.
Lu Jin had already drunk all the chicken soup in his hand during this period, and then smiled again: "Actually, the boss also understands Lu Jin's concern for the lower officials. You have your own concerns, and everything must be based on the overall situation, so even if you really find out the inside story of this case, I am afraid that you will have to compromise secretly under the foresight. This official can also understand, because you have to plan for the stability of this court and the capital......
"However, Xiaguan is just a small Daxing county order, so things are not so complicated. Since someone has made a big mistake, and all the officials in the court and the central government have turned a blind eye, do they really want to let the dead die in vain? There is nothing else for the lower officials, only a passion, and the only way to fight is this one. If the adult feels that the lower official has done something wrong, the lower official will not dare to have any complaints! After saying this, he raised his eyes and looked directly at Hu Hu in front of him.
Hu Huo opened his mouth, but he still couldn't say anything. After pondering for a while, Fang Cai said: "It's not wrong for you to do all this out of your heart, but in this way, you have offended too many people, even if this time they don't dare to do anything to you because they have alarmed the Son of Heaven, but it is very detrimental to your future." As an official, you always need someone to help you, although the old man is willing to help you, but he is old, and it is impossible to sit in this position for too long. β
"The boss's difficulties are understood. A gentleman has something to do, something not to do, since I have made this decision, I will face it calmly what the outcome will be in the future! But this time, those murderers who killed the people must pay the price! Lu Zhen said categorically, without the slightest regret.
Hu Hui's original worries gradually dissipated with Lu Jin's statement, and after drinking the ginseng soup in his hand, he nodded and said, "Although the old man has many concerns, he can still help you in some things." Don't worry, the old man will also keep an eye on this case, and he will never ask them to do it again! As for you, as long as the old man is in the position of the secretary of the ministry for a day, you will definitely be fine! The pride of the year was completely ignited by the young man in front of him at this moment.
Lu Zhen immediately bowed his hand: "Thank you for the maintenance of the boss, the lower officials are grateful." β
"You can stand up for those innocent dead, and you are not even afraid of offending the powerful in the court, can't the old man, as a veteran minister of several dynasties, even be able to do this guarantee?"
Lu Zhen nodded a little gratefully, he knew very well that he could naturally get out alone, but the old man in front of him had a big family, and there were countless protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, but it was a hundred times more difficult to make such a statement. And this is the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the guarantee that today's Ming Dynasty can be called a prosperous age.
When the carriage stopped in front of the Daxing County Ya, and when Lu Zhen got out of the car, Hu Hu shouted again: "Lu County Order, the old man is very pleased, this time I really didn't misunderstand you, you are indeed a member of my generation!" β
"The boss praised it falsely, Xia Guan is just a stunned young man who doesn't know the severity." Lu Zhen turned around and saluted again, then looked at Hu Hu with a wry smile and shook his head, lowered the curtain, and slowly walked away with the carriage.
Straightening up, Lu Jin's gaze became sharp again, since he had made up his mind to do all this, there was nothing to regret, just let it go!
At this moment, the gate of the county government was suddenly opened, and a lazy and familiar voice came: "Lu County Order, you can really cause trouble, but let this son wait stupidly in that Guangning Bo Mansion!" β
Lu Zhen immediately turned around, and saw Xu Chengzong standing in the door with a smile in his hand. This made him stunned for a moment, and then he was surprised: "Young Master Xu, why did you come to the county office?" β
"What? Do you want to kick me away after using this child? Xu Chengzong snorted: "You are really bold, this time, everyone in the capital knows that you are the Daxing County Order, and you actually went to beat the Dengwen drum, you can think of it!" β
Lu Zhen entered the door and accompanied the other party to the second hall to sit down, then said with a wry smile: "Things are difficult to do, and I made this decision when I had no other choice." β
"So what will happen to this case now? My people are still staying in Guangning Bofu, what is the emperor's attitude? This question is obviously the reason why he has been waiting in the county office.
Lu Zhen didn't hide it, so he told him about his affairs in the palace. After Xu Chengzong heard this, he smiled at him again: "You are indeed a bold master, you dare to speak like this even in front of the emperor, I like you more and more......"
When Lu Zhen heard him say this, his eyes seemed to have something else, and he suddenly turned his body a little uneasily, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu likes women and doesn't like that tone. Fortunately, Xu Chengzong continued: "When my father was here, he always said that I would get into trouble, but he didn't see you. If he were here now, I would know that compared to you, the disaster I caused in Nanjing would not be a problem at all. β
"Uh......" Seeing that he meant this, Lu Zhen suddenly didn't know what to do.
And Xu Chengzong had no intention of staying here any longer, so he stretched his waist and got up and said: "Since this matter can no longer be hidden, and the court wants to investigate it strictly, then I will call people back tomorrow." It's not too early, farewell. By the way, you're not going to take me down and lock me up for breaking the night curfew, are you? β
Lu Zhen smiled bitterly: "I don't have the guts, Xu Gongzi, please go slowly." β
Xu Chengzong smiled, and then Shi Shiran left. After walking out of the county office, the smile on his face disappeared, touched his chin and whispered: "This Lu Zhen is really a character, he can still be so calm when he breaks into such a big matter." Either he is really bold, or Hu Hu will really do his best to protect him. In any case, it is not a bad thing to be able to have a good relationship with him...... This time I came to the capital, and I actually saw so much excitement! β

After a night of brewing, the case immediately caused an uproar in Beijing, causing a storm all over the city.
Perhaps yesterday many people did not know what was happening, but only heard the sound of the drums that had not been heard for decades. But the next morning, the news was about to spread quickly, and people finally knew that this was a big move made by Daxing County Ling Lu Zhen after he found out that dozens of corpses were hidden in Guangning Bo Mansion and reported to the Son of Heaven.
Among the rumors of everyone, there are also rumors that the case will be suppressed by some officials of the DPRK and China, and it will eventually be resolved. But Lu Xianling couldn't bear the injustice of these people who died in vain, and he must arrest the murderer to atone for the crime, so he withstood the pressure and went to the Earl's Court to find out the evidence, and then went to beat the drum.
Originally, the people have always had a great feeling about the protection of officials and officials, and now Lu Jin's approach has implemented this point. As a result, when Lu Jin's reputation was greatly boosted, and he was called the selfless Qingtian Lord who asked for the people's life, the various yamen of the imperial court standing opposite him - Shuntian Mansion, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple suddenly became absolute villains and were spurned by all the people.
For a time, public opinion inside and outside the capital was turbulent, and all kinds of conspiracy theories and criticisms were flying all over the sky. The pressure this brought to the officials of the Yamen can be imagined.
Although many people in power nowadays do not take public opinion too seriously, when public opinion converges into a powerful force, the situation is completely different. As the so-called Qianfu refers to the end of no illness, the crowd will accumulate gold and destroy the bones!
In the face of such an unfavorable situation, these yamen naturally itched the teeth of Lu Jin, who made this incident, but there was nothing they could do about him for a while. So in the end, the only way to prove one's innocence is to judge the case impartially and give everyone an explanation.
Therefore, on the third day after the incident, the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate tried the case of Guangningbo's murder of an innocent person at the meeting of the three divisions, which attracted countless people to gather outside the gate of the Criminal Department for a while, waiting for the news of the trial.
When Lu Jin, who was a witness, appeared outside the gate of the Criminal Department, many people cheered and sent him into the door like a hero in their hearts. In this regard, the officials were naturally envious, jealous and hateful, and they were extremely angry with this guy who caused an accident and made everyone benefit but let everyone take the blame!
