Watching the truckloads of grain being transported to the yamen, although the cadres and others in the county yamen were busy, they were also full of joy and satisfaction one by one, which was a wonderful taste that they had never had before.

Of course, there were factors forced by the situation to do all this before, for fear that they would be expelled from the yamen by the county order in anger, and they would have no life since then, and they still had a little resentment in their hearts. But now, when I see that the big families who used to be proud in front of me have to offer food with both hands with a smile, and add a basket of good words, this sense of accomplishment is much better than before.

Under the influence of this thought, the people in the yamen were full of energy, as if they had won a rare victory, and even the greeting was extremely loud.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Lu Jin's mouth raised slightly, and he did not answer Qiu Changyuan's question, but asked: "Qiu County Order, you must be like them in your heart, and you feel that this is a rare hearty victory, and it is worth celebrating, right?" ”

"Yes......" Qiu Changyuan nodded subconsciously, but when the words came out, he realized that there was another deep meaning in Lu Jin's words, so he looked over with an inquiring look.

After sighing, Lu Jincai said, "This is your problem. Is this a victory? Isn't it just to do what should have been done, and to receive the autumn grain that should have been handed in half a month ago? How did it turn out to be a big win in your eyes? Just because it was the Confucian family who made things difficult for the yamen this time, you can completely endure your anger, and even give birth to such self-deceptive thoughts? ”

"This ...... The lower officials were ashamed. Qiu Changyuan understood the meaning of his words, and lowered his head unconsciously. But at the same time, I excused myself in my heart, but that was the Kong family, how could our small county government afford to provoke him?

As if he had seen through the other party's thoughts, Lu Zhen turned his face away: "Obviously, since your Qiu County Order, everyone in the yamen is too jealous of the Kong family, because of their identity, because of their reputation for thousands of years, you are always tied to the Kong family, and you can't let go at all, so you will be ridden by him as an idle Yan Shenggong who actually has no real power." I was even scared because of my words, and I didn't know what to do. Let me ask you, is this Shandong, this Qufu the world of his Confucian family, or the world of my Ming Dynasty? Is your county order sealed by the imperial court, or by his Confucian family? ”

"When...... Of course, it is Shandong of the imperial court, and the lower officials are also officials of the imperial court. Qiu Changyuan immediately replied, he didn't dare to hesitate at all, otherwise the sin would be great.

"In that case, why don't you dare to argue with it? Obviously, it was his Confucian family who made a big mistake this time, but it was you who was restless? Qiu County ordered, when you are a parent, you should have the appearance of a parent official. Bailihou's name is not for good-sounding, it should have a little official authority! Only when you are tough enough, a family like the Kong family, which only relies on false fame, will be in awe, so that they will not dare to act presumptuously again. Do you see what I mean? ”

Qiu Changyuan listened to these words with a solemn expression, and finally gave up his hand and said: "The adult has taught me a lesson, and the lower officials have been taught. Although he admitted it in his mouth, he smiled bitterly in his heart, how could the Kong family be so easy to deal with? If it weren't for the fact that the governor was high enough, confident enough, and had a lot of people to appoint, I am afraid that this matter would still have no chance of winning.

Lu Jin's face then softened again: "This official told you all this just to remind you that you should no longer act as timidly as before in the future. And you can rest assured, the affairs of the Kong family are not over yet, and this official will not leave this place yet. At least I have to do a few more things before I can leave in peace. ”

"What do you mean ......" Qiu Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and at the same time he was a little puzzled, I don't know what other means Governor Lu wants to use on the Kong family.

But this time, Lu Zhen sold Guan Zi: "This official has his own plans." But it shouldn't be delayed for long, and within three or five days, there should be an end. At the end of the day, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

He Lu Zhen has never been a tolerant and generous person, he will not take the initiative to cause trouble, but once someone dares to provoke him, then he will definitely retaliate ten times and a hundred times back. Those opponents in the past have all learned the ferocity of his revenge, and this time the Kong family can't escape.

Taking the grain out of those big grain chiefs' homes was just the beginning, and he had more powerful means to use on the Kong family. This time, we must not only teach them a good lesson, but also let them dare not hinder their plans to open the sea!

When Kong Chengguang saw Lu Zhen again, he obviously felt that the momentum exuded by this adult was much stronger than before, which made this Kong Gongzi a little jealous in his heart: "I don't know what happened to Lord Lu's sudden secret summons?" I'm ashamed to say that in this matter, I couldn't help anything. ”

"It seems that Kong Gongzi already knows that the matter of food has been resolved." Lu Zhen filled him with a cup of tea and smiled: "But you don't have to feel uneasy, you really can't help me in this matter." ”

Hearing him say this, Kong Chengguang's uneasy mood seemed to be heavier: "Then the adult saw me before, and what did he say that for?" ”

"For the next big thing, of course." Lu Zhen stared at the other party's eyes and said, "Do you remember when I said that I would help you get ahead?" Now the time is ripe. As long as you do what I want, it shouldn't be difficult to replace Kong Chengqing as the next head of the Kong family. ”

"It can't be." Kong Chengguang didn't even ask Lu Zhen what he wanted to do, so he shook his head. As a son of the Confucian family, even a marginal figure like him knows how difficult it is to become the heir of Yan Shenggong. Although this is not like those princes who need to be designated by the court, they must also be the eldest son. As for myself, this kind of thing can't happen even in a dream.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhen smiled: "There are too many impossible things in this world that have finally come true, and you have no confidence in yourself?" ”

When he said this, Kong Chengguang's heart suddenly jumped: "Is this true? However, it is impossible for my father to make such a decision, let alone my eldest brother. ”

"I only ask if you want to be the head of the Confucian family and become the next Yan Shenggong." Lu Zhen just threw out such a question.

With such a big temptation in front of him, how could Kong Chengguang not be tempted, after a little hesitation, he finally nodded: "If the Lord can really help me become the master of the Kong family, then I, Kong Chengguang, swear to the sky, in the future, I will definitely take Lord Lu and you will look forward!" ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, whether it can be done or not depends on yourself. As long as you do what I want, I can guarantee that it won't be long before you can replace that Kong Chengqing. ”

"But what's the matter?" Hearing such a guarantee, Kong Chengguang's heartbeat accelerated again, the words he said became dry, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the other party's body, for fear that he would lose his mind, and all this would slip through his fingers.

Lu Zhen leaned forward, lowered his voice again, and whispered his plan. After saying this, Kong Chengguang's forehead quickly grew dense beads of sweat, and his body trembled slightly: "This...... Do you really want to do this? ”

"If you don't, you won't stand a chance at all. While this may sound risky, it can go extremely smoothly as long as everything is properly arranged. Since you have been paying attention to Kong Chengqing, you should know that what I just said is true, this thing can indeed be done, right? Lu Zhen sat back in the right position, looked at the other party with a smile and said.

But ......" Thinking of what he was going to do next, Kong Chengguang was still a little hesitant. He never imagined that he would do such a rebellious thing.

"If you want to achieve great things, you have to take some risks, and there is no good thing in this world that you don't get for nothing. Think about it, don't you want to change all this about the humiliation you've endured over the years? Lu Zhen said seductively again.

Seeing that the other party was still hesitating there, he simply came to retreat and advance: "If Gongzi Kong really can't make up his mind, this official will not force you, you will treat it as if nothing has happened, and still be your son of the Kong family." As for the official, since the food problem has been solved, there is no need to continue to stay in Qufu. As he spoke, he shook his head and made a gesture to get up and leave.

Seeing this move, Kong Chengguang was a little anxious: "Slow down, adult...... Let's think about it for a moment. ”

Lu Jinyi sat down again, picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly, looking very leisurely. But in fact, he was also quite nervous in his heart, once the other party really rejected him, the whole plan would not be easy to go down. Even if the food problem will be solved because of the changes here in Qufu, the obstacle to opening the sea still exists, and he doesn't have much time to continue fighting with the Kong family.

After waiting for a meal in a tormented manner, Lu Zhen saw Kong Chengguang, whose face was full of entanglement, finally raised his head, revealing a desperate look: "Lord Lu, I will help you do this now!" I just hope you don't have to cross the river and tear down the bridge. ”

"Don't worry, the entire Kong family has a relationship with me, only you, Gongzi Kong, will I choose someone else? And what you said is wrong, you are not helping me, but helping yourself, helping yourself to get rid of the past, and become the master of the Confucian family who can really control everything, and the famous Yan Shenggong! Lu Zhen relieved himself and smiled with satisfaction.

When he saw Kong Chengguang leave resolutely with a face full of face, Lu Zhen also breathed a long sigh of relief. It's time to come to an end, and tomorrow we'll know who wins and who loses!
