Chapter 292: The Victim (Part II)

In the past few days, Wu Miao has been quite low-key, not to mention coming to these yamen to make trouble, even his own mansion rarely comes out. Because he knew that this time he was almost on the opposite side of the entire civil official clique in Hangzhou, and he might even be charged with the crime by someone taking the opportunity, so he was also a little weak-hearted.

This made his sudden arrival today quite weird, and it also made Lu Zhen frown, and muttered in his heart: "This guy, is there any conspiracy to calculate me?" However, he still maintained a certain smile and politeness on his face, and turned around to salute: "I've seen Gonggong Wu." Since Xia Guan has basically cleared his guilt, he has naturally been doing well recently. It's Gonggong Wu, why don't you look very good? ”

Wu Miao's smile suddenly froze, and his nose snorted: "Lord Lu is really a good mouth." I hope you will be as sharp as you are today when you go elsewhere to make a living in the future! ”

"What does Gonggong Wu mean by this?" Lu Jin's heart sank suddenly, and the uneasiness he felt when he saw Huang Qinru's sad face just now became more and more intense.

Wu Miao didn't answer, but stepped forward and came to Huang Qinru: "Lord Huang, you must have also received documents from the imperial court, right?" What's the matter, are you still reluctant to talk to Lu Jin? ”

Lu Zhen hurriedly returned his gaze to Huang Qinru's body, and then lowered his gaze again, and looked at the bookcase in front of him, on which was placed a document that had just been served, judging from its regulations, it was indeed from Beijing.

In a hurry, Lu Zhen didn't care about any etiquette, so he took two steps forward and wanted to take a closer look. At this time, Huang Qinru finally opened his mouth: "Lu Tong sentenced ......"

Lu Jin's actions paused: "My lord, please speak." ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you this time." Huang Qinru let out a long sigh of apology, and then picked up the official document on the case and handed it to Lu Jin.

Lu Zhen took a deep breath, and after making some mental preparations, he took the official document, opened it and read it quickly. Looking at this, even if he had the worst plan, after knowing the final result of the imperial court's handling of this matter, Lu Jin's face quickly became gloomy, and even his hands trembled a little, which was angry!

"Lord Lu, no, I'm going to call you Lu Zhen now, what else do you have to say now?" Wu Miao laughed gloating again, provocatively speaking.

Lu Zhen wanted to swing a fist and distort the smiling face of the dead eunuch in front of him, but reason told him that this would cause a big disaster. When this official document was delivered, he actually had no official position, and if he injured the eunuch at this time, it would be difficult for anyone to protect him.

So he could only swallow this evil breath, ignoring Wu Miao's words, and just looked at Huang Qinru: "My lord, is there no room for maneuver in this matter?" We have found a lot of clues, and as long as we continue to follow them, we can always dig up the truth thoroughly. ”

"Lu Jin, what do you think you are, and the court will change the order every day for you alone?" Wu Miao immediately said as if scolding.

And Huang Qinru also said after a moment of hesitation: "Lu Tongju, I'm afraid this thing can't be done." Because this was the decree of the Son of Heaven, the cabinet and the ministers also put their seals. What they mean is that for the sake of the stability of Hangzhou, this case will end here. ”

After glancing at Lu Jin, he said again: "And this time, the imperial court doesn't really mean to punish you as a murderer, but just temporarily dismiss your official." Maybe one day, when the world is amnesty, it will be used again for you. ”

Lu Zhen was silent, his last words were just meaningless words of comfort, and he couldn't be believed at all. He is not an important minister in the court, once he is dismissed, who will remember that there was such a person named Lu Jin? However, the previous sentence pointed out the problem, and he was indeed powerless to change this unfair ending.

Even if they have worked hard in the past few days to investigate and have investigated deeply, they are about to dig out the truth. But now, everything doesn't matter anymore, because those people above the temple don't want the truth, but local stability. In other words, what they want is for someone to come out and take the blame, and then let Hangzhou settle down again.

This is today's prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty - a world that seems prosperous on the surface, but in fact it has long been filthy and unjust everywhere!

After being silent for a long time, Lu Zhen finally gently put the official document in his hand back behind the bookcase, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Xiaguan...... The grass people understood. Thank you for the virtue that you have maintained many times before, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the grass people to repay the kindness of adults in the future. ”

Lu ...... You don't have to be too depressed, and you don't call yourself a grass person. Although you were indeed dismissed, the imperial court did not dismiss you from being a jinshi, so you don't have to call yourself a grass person, just a student. Huang Qinru hurriedly nodded.

This point is quite crucial, and the hierarchy is clearly defined. As the head of the four people, especially the scholars with jinshi, even if they do not have an official position, their status among the people is quite high. It is also an existence that can sit and discuss with officials at all levels.

Lu Zhen nodded gratefully: "The student understands, thank you for the reminder." ”

Wu Miao pouted beside her, a little unhappy. Although he lost his official position, he was still superior to others among the people, which made Gonggong Wu, who wanted to see him down, very boring. But after thinking about it, this scholar who is going to say goodbye to officialdom from now on and can only be a scholar living in the countryside in the future, he is relieved.

"That'...... If you think about it, you should go back to the government first, hand over everything, and then go home. Huang Qinru was silent for a moment, and finally said.

Lu Zhen nodded: "Yes." However, today's matter still has to be reported to the adults, after all, it is related to the safety of Hangzhou. As he spoke, he briefly told him everything he had found related to the White Lotus Sect.

Hearing him say this, Huang Qinru certainly looked very grim, but Wu Miao's heart was beating suddenly, and she was so nervous that she was about to sweat.

The former was naturally a headache because of the inside story, and the latter didn't expect Lu Zhen to investigate the matter so deeply, and even found out the true identities of those people. If he is allowed to investigate like this again, I am afraid that he will soon be convicted of colluding with the White Lotus Sect. This is a taboo in the imperial court, if it is really true, even if there is Wang Zhen as a backer, he will not escape death!

"Fortunately, this tricky guy was dismissed, and the case will not continue to be investigated, otherwise it will ......" Thinking of this, Wu Miao couldn't help but gasp.

At this moment, someone came to report: "My lord, Lord Gao Wuyuan, the deputy envoy of the Criminal Division, and Lord Xu Mu, the servant, are outside asking to see each other, saying that they have something important to report. ”

"Let them come in and talk." Huang Qinru nodded, and did not let Lu Zhen avoid it. Because he knew that the other party must also be here for this case, let Lu Zhen participate in it at the end.

Without waiting for Wu Miao to object, the man quickly retreated. After a while, Xu Mu and the others walked in. Seeing Wu Miao present, the two of them were a little surprised, and then nodded with Lu Jin, and then said, "Lord Huang, we have made a new discovery." ”

"But what?" Huang Qinru hurriedly asked.

Under Gao Wuyuan's nod, Xu Mu stepped forward and told the clues he had newly found about the Japanese Kou being related to the Xie family, and also came to the conclusion that Lu Zhen would definitely not collude with the Japanese Kou. Hearing this, several people present were stunned for a while.

Who would have thought that this evidence that could prove Lu Jin's innocence was actually in the hands of the government. Unfortunately, they found it too late.

"Lord Lu, this time you have been able to clear your previous grievances. The witness and the body are in the yamen of the Criminal Division, and they can be checked at any time, which will definitely convince everyone. Xu Mu smiled at Lu Jin.

But to his surprise, after hearing this, Lu Zhen didn't smile at all, just stood for a long time before holding his fists: "Thank you for your love and care, Lu Zhen remembers it." But this time, it's going to disappoint the two. ”

"This ...... What does this mean? Xu Mu and the others asked in surprise.

Lu Zhen had no choice but to tell the content of the official document just sent by the imperial court, and finally said: "Therefore, this case has ended here, and Lu Zhen is no longer an official of the imperial court." ”

"Yes...... This ......" This change made the two officials who came in high spirits stunned, and they were speechless for a long time. Finally, he sighed: "Doesn't the imperial court even want to look at this evidence?" ”

"Otherwise, our yamen will jointly intercede for Lu Jin, and with these evidences, maybe the imperial court will open up and take back the fate?" Gao Wuyuan suddenly came up with a way to propose.

Wu Miao's face immediately changed: "You are disobeying the holy decree, aren't you afraid of causing trouble for yourself?" ”

"The existence of the Yamen of the Prosecutor's Office is to put an end to unjust cases, and since the problem has been found in this case, how can we ignore it?" Xu Mu immediately replied: "Isn't it that your father-in-law Wu is weak-hearted and worried that this case will expose some of your things?" ”

"You...... Hmph, we want to see how you killed yourselves! Wu Miao was so angry that she flicked her sleeves, turned around and left. But his heart is obviously not as tough as he says, it is very empty.

This matter has already been decided, and there are waves again, his Lu Jin's life is so hard, even the will of the court can't stop his official? Is it really a scourge that lasts for thousands of years?

The remaining few people didn't pay attention to Wu Miao, who left angrily, but continued to look at Lu Jin: "Lord Lu, you should wait here for a few days with relief, I think the imperial court should have something to say." We can't let an innocent person take the blame for those with ulterior motives! ”

Looking at the appearance of these people trying their best to maintain and persuade themselves, Lu Jin's already cold heart warmed up again. Although it is true that the way of this world is not very good, there are always some people who hold on to something, such as justice, such as morality......

Therefore, he nodded vigorously: "Lu Jin, thank you for your kindness!" ”
