Seeing his son being taken away by several subordinates, Wang Shu's face finally showed a wry smile, with such an impulsive son on the stall, he, a father, really can't teach a lesson, so he can only lock people up in the ancestral hall first.

In fact, he also knew why Wang Yue would be so reckless to ask someone to find a horse thief to deal with Lu Jin, not because his previous attitude towards this Lu Zhizhou was too humble. Young people, they are always a little arrogant and unconvinced, plus they all know the contradiction between their second uncle and Lu Jin, so it is normal to think about making a move at this time.

But it's also because they're all young that they inevitably make mistakes. This time, Wang Yue caused a disaster for his family. Because as far as Wang Shu knows, the team escorting grain to Datong this time was led by Lu Jin, once he was really attacked by those horse thieves, if he had a mistake, the account would have to be counted on the head of the Wang family.

Because almost everyone in the court knows the contradiction between Lu Zhen and Wang Zhen, and the Wang family is mostly in charge here, as long as something happens to him, almost no need to think about it, everyone will think that it is the Wang family's revenge on Lu Zhen. There doesn't even need to be in any situation, as long as he has a little mistake and disobedience in his official affairs, everyone will naturally attribute the reason to the Wang family, which is a fact that Wang Zhen has no way to change.

Therefore, knowing that this matter was a foregone conclusion, Wang Zhen endured this evil breath, and sent a letter asking the Wang family not to cause too many incidents in the next period of time, and to have a good relationship with Lu Jin. I'm afraid of that kind of rumors and public opinion.

Although the prince is now in power, since he is in the court, he has to follow the rules of the game. He can use the power in his hands to retaliate against his political opponents, but that must also find a reasonable excuse. In a situation like Lu Jin, it is the most difficult to find a reasonable excuse, because no one will believe what he says, and the other party's reputation is really not small, once something happens, it will naturally be known to everyone in the government and the opposition.

Wang Shu naturally understood his brother's thoughts, but he didn't tell his children and nephews in detail, but he didn't expect this to cause such a disaster.

But now, regret is useless. It was too late to even send someone to chase after him to warn, because as Wang Yue said, the robbery should have happened in the past two days. The only thing that can be counted on now is that Lu Zhen will not really be hurt by those lawless horse thieves, so there is still room for turnaround.

In addition, he has to hurry up and tell Wang Zhen everything in a letter, so that he can prepare accordingly, so that even if something really goes wrong, he will have a time to react. Thinking about all this, Wang Shu quickly got up and went straight to the study.

Among these results, Wang Shu simply ignored the fact that Lu Zhen would defeat those horse thieves, and even get alive and interrogate the truth. Because in his opinion, those people are completely unable to resist dozens of horse thieves who are deliberately ambushed.

When Wang Shu's letter was hurriedly handed out and headed straight for Beijing, Lu Zhen and his party finally came to the city of Datong.

Originally, their speed was far from being so fast, but because of the capture of dozens of horses, this gave the vehicle more power, and after this scene, the people's confidence became sufficient, and they were a little more in awe of Lu Jin, so this speed went up, and it took only two days to get there, and it took only two days to completely catch up.

When he saw the towering city walls of Datong City, Lu Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that with the real entry into the sphere of influence of Datong City, all dangers would no longer exist. Neither those lawless horse thieves nor the small cavalry of the Mongols who might exist dared to make trouble here.

Speaking of which, this is the second time Lu Zhen has come to this important border town, but the mood of entering it is completely different. The first time, he came with excitement and respect, looking at this city that has guarded the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years and experienced countless bloody battles of life and death, which made him respect from the bottom of his heart. And today, when I entered the city, I only felt a sense of peace of mind, because this is the most impregnable city in the Ming Dynasty.

When he entered the city, it was still afternoon, so Lu Zhen did not delay, and immediately led people straight to the prefect's yamen to deliver the grain to the people there.

When the servants at the gate of the yamen saw this cart of grain and inquired that it was actually sent from Ulzhou, they all showed surprise. Because in the past few years, Ulzhou's tax grain has always been dragged, and it was not until the New Year that some were sent, not to mention, the amount was still quite small, and this year it was unprecedentedly delivered?

Moreover, everyone knows what year this year is, and it is difficult for other states and counties to send such a sufficient amount of food, so how can Ulzhou actually do it. However, because Lu Zhen had already reported his identity, those servants didn't dare to talk in front of him, but they just glanced at each other a few times and handed the words in.

After a while, a junior official greeted him with a smile, first ordered someone to bring the grain to the point for inspection and collection, and then bowed his hand to Lu Jinyi: "I didn't expect Lu Zhizhou to personally send grain to Datong, it's really hard for you." Hurry up to the second hall and speak, the prefect is already waiting inside. ”

Lu Jinyu hurriedly returned the salute, and then gave Ye Guanyu a few instructions, and then followed your official into the mansion. In addition to some paperwork handover matters, Lu Zhen also has important things to discuss with Miao Guangtai, the current prefect of Datong, so he naturally wants to meet the other party.

When he walked in the court, Lu Zhen also chatted with the official who came to greet him, and it turned out that he was not an ordinary petty official, but an experienced official of the government office, named He Feng. From his attitude and words, Lu Zhen already felt that this person was a confidant of the Miao Governor's Mansion, so he was naturally quite polite in his attitude, and he did not dare to treat him as an ordinary subordinate.

After a while, they had entered the second hall and came to a public house with a martial arts atmosphere. This room is not only much more spacious than ordinary public houses, but also has a lot of swords and other weapons hanging on the four walls, but there are no calligraphy and paintings used by civil officials to decorate, which can only show the temperament of this prefect.

In fact, this was also deliberately arranged by the imperial court. In order to make the defense of Datong more secure and avoid friction and contradictions between civil and military, some people with martial arts are often selected in the selection of Datong prefects. This Miao Guangtai is this number no matter his temperament or appearance.

As soon as he saw Lu Zhen appear, he greeted the door with a smile: "Lu Shansi, sure enough, even General Hu has to mention and praise him from time to time, and as soon as he took office this time, he actually gave this official such a big surprise." As he spoke, he patted Lu Jin's shoulder quite affectionately.

Naturally, there was no problem for the other party to behave like this, but Lu Zhen didn't dare to talk to his boss with such a casual attitude, so he still bent down and bowed his hand in a regular manner, made a standard salute, and said: "Xiaguan Ulzhou Governor Lu Zhen has seen Miao Governor's Mansion. Xia Guan was ordered to escort a year's worth of tax grain this time, and today he was fortunate to live up to his life and has delivered food security. ”

"No need to be polite." Miao Guangtai said, and reached out to support Lu Jin: "Although you and I have only met for the first time, but when it comes to it, this official has been friends with you for a long time." ”

Seeing Lu Jin's question, he explained with a smile: "A few years ago, you Lu Shansi made the song 'Loyal to the Country', and now the Datong garrison can sing it, not only in the army, but also among the people, and there are many singers, which is really a good song and song to boost the morale of my Ming army." ”

Lu Zhen then remembered that he had taken advantage of the alcohol to "create" the song that day, and his face suddenly became hot, and he hurriedly said modestly: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, it's just a little trick, it's really hard to get into the ears of adults." ”

"Hehe, don't be too humble if you think well. Your reputation in my Datong is really loud, not only this song, but also the airship you made is still floating in the city, and the story of the battle of Guangling is still widely spread......"

The other party kept putting on a high hat for himself when they met, which made Lu Zhen a little unsure of how to deal with it, so he could only keep saying some humble words, and after a while, he dealt with these polite words.

Seeing that Lu Zhen seemed to be a little overwhelmed, Miao Guangtai said with a smile: "Maybe you are a little unaccustomed to this style of the official, but the official is such a straightforward person, as long as it is right for my temper, I will naturally make friends and praise it." In fact, even if you don't mention the previous things, if you can deliver the food in time today, you are already worthy of praise from the official. You must also know the situation in Shanxi, so I won't say more, you can do what your predecessors failed to do, it is your talent. By the way, how did you get all this food? ”

finally got to the point, Lu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly told the truth about the food he asked for from the Wang family. He Feng, who heard this, had a different look on his face, as for the Miao Governor's Mansion, his eyes flashed, so he didn't ask more, just nodded and said: "Shansi can really do what people can't, it's really impressive." ”

Then, his gaze suddenly turned and fell on Lu Jin's face: "But you personally escorted the grain here today, you should have another intention." Although I, Miao Guangtai, am a civil official, but I like to be happy the most, since I have met, I will tell you your true intentions, and we can also refer to one or two. ”

Lu Jin's heart suddenly moved, this prefect looked bold and straightforward, but he was actually quite shrewd. And with this character, it will be smoother to act and ask questions. In this way, this person's scheming is not bad, and it is not something that can be persuaded in a few words.
