After many days of several precautions, there was still such a basket. As the county magistrate, Lu Zhen could only rush to the scene as soon as possible, and at the same time asked about the specific situation of the person when he was in a hurry.

Before the person arrived at the scene, the specific details of what happened there were already known to Lu Jin, and this made his whole face become more and more gloomy, because the murderous Meng Ren was too arrogant.

According to the officer, the cause of all this was a small dispute, for a Mongolian man took a fancy to the goods of a certain merchant of the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to exchange them with the horses he had brought—this was not the case, and it was not necessary to buy goods with gold, silver, and copper coins in such humble fields, and bartering was common. In fact, even in some grass markets in the Central Plains, ordinary people and farmers also accept the most primitive trading methods.

However, there is a precondition for bartering transactions, that is, both parties must need each other's goods. But the Ming merchant didn't look down on the other party's horses at all, he just wanted to make some money from this, and he had to ship his own ideas to get the cattle, sheep and horses, and in such a market, it was naturally difficult to sell them at a high price, so he proposed to let the Meng people go to exchange the money first and then trade with him.

The herdsmen of the Nameng people were also sincere, and immediately tried to sell their horses to the people, but fortunately there were also those in need of these goods in the market, so in half a day they saved enough money to rush to the merchant to do business.

But it turned out to make him very angry, and the merchant actually sold his goods to another group of merchants at this moment! When the Mongols, who had always been faithful, saw this, they immediately quarreled with the two parties, which eventually turned into a fight.

Originally, the Mongols had only wounded the merchant and his entourage, but then the officers and soldiers who had kept order in the field rushed over and tried to punish him. In a fit of rage, the Namon finally broke out, and as a result, they not only wounded a few more officers, but also killed two soldiers, and then plundered a lot of goods, and rode away with the Mongols who attacked at the same time.

From the beginning of the dispute to the final murder and looting, these Mongolian people completely disregarded the law and dignity of the Ming Dynasty, and really did not take the face of the Ming government, especially the local government of Guangling County, in their eyes. However, what really made Lu Jin angry was that someone died because of it, which reminded him of the fate of Xie Laoqi and other captive slaves when he was in the Lahe Department!

When he arrived at the field, what Lu Jin saw was a group of frightened businessmen, as well as the grizzled yacha and soldiers. Seeing that his own adults finally arrived, Han Si, who was here to maintain order today, greeted him with a sad face: "My lord, it's the small inability to do things, which causes ......."

"You don't have to say that this is a Tartar who doesn't follow the rules, and it has nothing to do with you." Lu Zhen interrupted him with a wave of his hand, looked at the corpses that were still placed on the ground over there with a cold expression, and walked over slowly: "Are they the soldiers who were killed by the Tartars?" ”

"Yes. Several of the injured brothers have been taken to the county town for medical treatment. Han Si's heart was slightly wider, and he hurriedly followed the report.

In fact, to be honest, the merchants on the side of Daming must also have something that is not authentic. For example, because the Mongolian people are the party who needs the goods more, they will definitely raise the price of their own goods when they buy and sell, and at the same time suppress the price of the other party. After all, they came to a small place like Guangling not far away to make money, and it is always good to earn more.

In this regard, although Lu Zhen has heard about it, he also turns a blind eye, as an official of the Ming Dynasty, how can he not speak for the Mongolian people for his own people? He was not some official in later generations, and when he saw a foreign businessman, he was like seeing his own father, and he hated to sell all the local people.

However, Lu Zhen has always mastered a degree, and it is impossible to let the Mongolian people suffer too much, otherwise they will make trouble after all, and it will not be beneficial to Guangling County. It's just that I didn't expect such a tragedy to happen today, and it happened in less than ten days after the opening of the field. The slightest rebuke may cause distrust among the merchants on both sides of the site, and in the worst case, it may even affect the court's perception of the county government.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhen had already come to the corpses of the two slain soldiers. Beside them, there stood more than twenty other sergeants with blue faces and burning eyes. Seeing their comrades being killed, they were naturally the most angry group of people. If it weren't for Lu Jin's previous prestige against Xiao Mo, as well as the relationship between him and General Hu here, these people would have been impatient a long time ago.

The blood on the ground had not yet dried up, and both of the dead had been stabbed with knives, and their eyes were still wide open until this time, with both surprise and some anger in them. Looking at the faces of these two people before they died, the anger in Lu Jin's heart became stronger and stronger. After a moment of silence, he bent down and bowed to the two corpses: "The two sacrificed their lives for the country, and this official must report it." For your revenge, I will definitely find the murderer to repay the past! As he spoke, he crouched down again and reached out to wipe their eyes shut.

The surrounding people didn't dare to come forward to disturb at the moment, and at the same time, they were full of surprise to watch the various actions of the county magistrate. They never imagined that the dignified court officials would salute the two big-headed soldiers, and let them look at them in person without hesitation, and as for what they said, few people listened to it truthfully.

The expressions of the soldiers on the side finally eased a little, and Lord Lu was able to do this, which could be regarded as giving them enough respect. And they who were close to Lu Jin heard his assurance, which made them feel a burst of emotion in their hearts, as long as Lu Jin could really do what he said, if he didn't say it, they would definitely be convinced of him, and his words might not be slightly inferior to Mr. Jiang in the future.

However, Han Si was nervous for a while when he heard this, this is not a joke, the murderers are Tartars, and it is not easy to punish them. Don't talk about taking people, but if you really get it, is it so easy to kill?

Everyone knows that the Tartars have always lived in tribal groups, and each person has a large group of clansmen behind them, and if they really kill their people, who knows how much trouble it will cause? I just hope that the adults just say this casually, to appease people's hearts, and not to really do such things.

Lu Jin, who was in front of the corpses, ignored the thoughts of the people around him, and looked at the two corpses in silence for a long time before waving his hand and said, "Collect them and bury them." ”

"Yes!" Han Si agreed, and then called the servants to step forward and remove the corpse, and at the same time quickly cleaned up the blood stains on the ground. Although it is impossible to do any more business in today's market, this market must continue to open after all, and presumably tomorrow, everything will return to its original state. After all, everyone is still here to do business, and they will not leave Guangling because of this change.

At this moment, Lu Jin's face was solemn, and he turned to the sad-looking businessmen around him and said loudly: "Everyone, listen to what this official says. I, Lu Jin, am here to give you a bottom today, since I am in charge of this field, and those Tartars dare to kill and plunder people at will in my Ming Dynasty, I will never give up. Starting tomorrow, the defense inside and outside the arena will be greatly increased, and this official promises you that those murderers will definitely be arrested and brought to justice, and the canonical punishment will be reassuring! ”

Saying these words in public made everyone's expressions change, and then looking at Lu Jin's eyes was different from before, a little more respectful, and at the same time, there was some disbelief in it. But at this time, no one dared to really stand up and question it.

And Han Si and the others were surprised, the adults were absolutely unwise. If those Tartars don't come again, it's okay, after all, it is impossible for adults to send people to the steppe to take the murderers, but once they do come again, do they really want to take them down and condemn them?

In the carriage in front of him, after listening to Lu Jin's words and looking at his righteous and strict appearance, Chu Yunrong's heartstrings suddenly moved. It seems that in her mind, her husband should be such an upright and fearless person.

She hadn't seen everything Lu Jin did before, but today's public promise was enough to make her feel the powerful aura emanating from him.

"Wow, that's it...... Miss, I've seen my uncle arguing with people like this a few times, it's really ...... It's so ...... Fascinating. The little girl Cuimei couldn't help but sigh quietly beside her, but because of the lack of words, she could only use such an inappropriate word to describe Lu Zhen for a while.

Chu Yunrong glanced at his little sister a little helplessly, if he didn't know that she didn't have much affection for Lu Jin, he would think that there was some personal relationship between the two parties.

Over there, after stating his decision in public, Lu Zhen called Han Si again: "What are the numbers of those troublemakers and murderers that can be found out?" Also, where is the businessman who caused the trouble? ”

"Those Tartars, those Tartars ......" Han Si hesitated for a long time with a bitter face, and then replied truthfully: "The little one couldn't ask where they came from, and after the chaos broke out, the other Tartar merchants also took advantage of the chaos to leave, and we couldn't ask those merchants to find a reason." ”

For this answer, Lu Zhen snorted quite dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything: "What about the businessman who led to this matter?" Don't tell me you can't even find out the details of him. ”

"The merchant's name is Qin Huan, because he was also injured just now, so he was sent to the county for treatment. The little one felt that the adults might have something to ask him, so he asked people to watch it all the time. Han Si hurriedly replied that he had been in the county government for many years, and this strain was still there.

Lu Zhen nodded with some satisfaction: "In that case, let's go back to the city." The origin of the tartar has to fall on the merchant named Qin Huan. ”
