Zhu Zhen, including a group of royal mansion slaves, as well as the surrounding people, were completely stunned after hearing Lu Jin's decision. This is something that has never happened, this guy is crazy, not only injured the people sent by the palace, but now he is also planning to send them to the government to punish the crime, does he really not know that this is no different from sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger?

The brocade guards didn't have so many ideas, and since the governor of the house had given such an order, they carried it out without discount, and immediately took out the ropes and stepped forward, and quickly and skillfully tied up all the powerful slaves who no longer dared to resist, and then ordered them to line up and escort them to the outside.

Seeing this, the people outside were full of surprise and amusement, today is really an eye-opener, and they have never seen these royal mansion slaves being so well adjusted. At the same time, they also began to admire the men in front of them who dared to make a move with the royal slaves, and also completely surrendered them, driven by curiosity, many people unconsciously followed behind the team, and walked out of the alley with them, and walked to the more lively street.

On the street, many people are still busy, they either carry buckets, or carry baskets, and are thinking of buying more food into their own homes, but they are attracted by this rather strange team, and then through the inquiry of the people on the side, they also know that it is the people of the Zhou Wangfu who have suffered a big loss at the hands of these strangers, and under the surprise, many people followed.

In this way, along the way, all the way to attract the people in the city to follow, this team is getting bigger and bigger, and it is driving towards the prefect's yamen. And this is exactly the scene Lu Jin wants to see, he just wants to make things bigger, so as to make up for the shortcomings of his current identity. As for Zhu Yan and other royal slaves, at this time, they couldn't wait for an extra gap on the ground to let themselves get in, and almost completely hung their heads down to their chests, because this was really too embarrassing, and the Zhou Wangfu had never been as embarrassing as it was today.

So there was a strange scenery in this Kaifeng city, only to see a team of dejected slaves in front of the head being escorted forward by a dozen or so men, and behind them, there were hundreds of people in the city who were full of excitement......

At the same time, in the palace, the prefect Bao Zhenggang was looking at the imposing palace steward Zhu Ke in front of him with a face full of embarrassment, and after a while, he said in a not so firm tone: "Second steward, this matter is really impossible for the lower officials to do." They didn't violate my Ming law at all when they bought grain, so how could the government send someone to arrest them? Even the people who were taken down before, the charges against them are too unwarranted, and if they are spread, it will be difficult for the lower officials to explain to others. ”

"In this way, your government is unwilling to cooperate with our palace? I can tell you, this is the idea of our prince, and now that the people have gone over there, maybe they have already taken them down. We didn't expect this group of rubbish from your government to really help take people, but we just let you watch and bring them back to be convicted, and you won't help? Zhu Ke's face was a little gloomy and he asked urgently.

"I ......" Bao Zhenggang obviously felt the threat and unhappiness of the other party, and opened his mouth but really didn't have the courage to say anything to refuse. But he knows very well that this kind of thing must not be taken on his head, once he really dispatches the manpower of the government according to the other party's wishes, if something goes wrong at that time, the palace will definitely put all the fault on his head, then he will really be finished.

In Kaifeng City now, people's hearts have been unstable because of the food incident, and if there are some other mistakes, their official positions will be completely lost. At this moment, Governor Bao really regretted the compromise and decision he had made before, he knew that King Zhou would be so unscrupulous, he shouldn't have done that because he was confused......

While they were struggling, suddenly there was an uproar outside, which made Bao Zhifu and Zhu Ke stunned, revealing a look of surprise. You must know that the second hall where they are now is a long distance away from the street in front of the yamen, and the noise of waiting for leisure cannot be heard at all. And now, this noise has not only come in, but also has the meaning of intensifying, does this mean......

"Could it be that the people in the city finally couldn't bear the chaotic life of the king of Zhou and caused a rebellion?" Once this idea was born, Bao Zhenggang's body was shocked, and his face suddenly turned pale: "How is this good?" ”

Immediately, a drumbeat sounded from outside, which made his heart beat even more in shock, and he didn't know how to react. But Zhu Ke was indifferent: "It seems that they have already succeeded, and they have brought people here, Bao Governor's Mansion, this will be promoted." As he spoke, a look of resentment flashed in his eyes.

Just when Bao Zhenggang nodded his head in a tangled and dazed manner, intending to convict people according to their will with a clear conscience, several officials of the government ran over with panicked faces, and they didn't care about the humility of the upper and lower levels, and immediately shouted loudly: "My lord, something happened outside...... Someone is beating a drum and shouting grievances......"

"This official has already heard it, what's all the fuss about beating the drum and shouting grievances?" Bao Zhenggang immediately reprimanded, but he used this to cheer himself up. But what those people said next made him completely stunned: "...... But those who complained about their grievances were rushed by the people of the Zhou Palace's Mansion to beat the drums, and now hundreds of people have gathered outside the palace to watch! ”

"What?" Governor Bao was taken aback, only to feel that he was in a dream, otherwise how could such an unreasonable thing happen? And Zhu Ke on the other side was also full of sluggishness, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and shouted angrily: "It's really against them, and you dare to take the people of my Zhou Palace." Come on, take them all down for me! ”

But his order did not get a response from anyone, and the government officials who rushed to report the news just looked at their own adults, waiting for the prefect Bao to make the next decision. Although they usually obey the orders of the Zhou Palace, but today's fact is too strange, and it is better not to wade into troubled waters.

The drum outside was still ringing unhurriedly, like a talisman hitting Bao Zhenggang's heart, so that after a moment of hesitation, he finally had some reaction: "Rise...... Ascension! "Now, he has seen that it is impossible for him to retreat, if he does not appear to ascend to the court, things will get bigger and bigger, and in the end it will only be himself and the government that will be unlucky. As for how to deal with it next, then we can only take one step at a time!

So, all the people here in Ertang immediately agreed, and they rushed to the prefect who walked out, but left Steward Zhu in place and let him grit his teeth there......

With a commotion in the palace, the prefect finally came to the main hall, and with a slap of the shocking wood, he asked people to bring the grievance callers who were beating the drum into the hall.

After a while, the drum stopped, and a man of extraordinary bearing walked into the public hall with his head held high. After seeing this person, the government officials who were shouting majestic and powerful were somehow angry, and their voices were not so loud. Even Bao Zhenggang, who was sitting behind the case, also looked a little uneasy and twisted his body, and then asked in a deep voice: "Who is in the hall, why don't you kneel when you see this official?" ”

"In Xia Zhenglu, because he was fortunate enough to be a talent in the early years, he didn't dare to bow down to his old parents." Lu Zhen stood tall and replied in a clear voice. Now, there are only a handful of people in the world who can make him kneel and worship, and of course it is impossible to make such a big gift to a prefect of the five grades.

Seeing him with such a bearing, Bao Zhenggang easily believed his words. Only people who have read books and have a certain status can look calm and normal at this time. So he didn't ask any more questions, or asked Lu Zhen to show evidence of his identity as a Xiucai, but just continued to ask: "Why are you beating the drum for no reason, do you know that the drum in front of this government is not casual!" ”

"I know it below. I have a decree early tomorrow morning, and only when there is a serious case such as murder, banditry, or rebellion, can the people come to the yamen to beat the drum and cry out for injustice. Lu Zhen replied without a little hesitation. In the early years, he was a county magistrate, so he naturally knew the rules.

"Then why are you ......," Bao Zhenggang asked with a frown. But before he finished speaking, Lu Zhen hurriedly spoke: "My lord, today a large number of thieves suddenly rushed into the grass people's house with open fire under this bright and clear world, wanting to do something wrong. Such acts are no different from those of banditry. Therefore, after taking them all down, he will twist them to the government and beat the drum of grievances outside the government office. Many neighbors in front of the house can testify to this matter, and I hope that the adults will know about it. ”

"Actually...... There is such a thing......" Bao Zhenggang's face was full of surprise, he couldn't imagine that the matter was really reported by the following people, and the people sent by the palace were actually taken down as bandits.

Lu Zhen took the opportunity to say: "Yes, I really can't believe that in my Ming Dynasty, in this Kaifeng City, there are still such bold fanatics, who dare to break into people's houses so blatantly, trying to commit violence." If it weren't for the help of some capable brothers in front of me, I'm afraid they would have been able to get their hands on it.

In addition, these fanatics are bold enough to dare to claim to be from the Zhou Palace. This is really the biggest slander and slander against His Royal Highness King Zhou, how can he do such a thing that ignores the law and discipline with such an identity as King Zhou? I also hope that the adults will quickly check and ask clearly, and return the innocence of His Royal Highness King Zhou, and still be fair in the next one! ”
