Lu Zhen was not the only one who was embarrassed and undecided by the Kong family's reaction this time, in fact, other officials in Jinan City were more concerned about this matter than him. The day after the incident, Gao Duzhong, Zhou Chaoxian and others came one after another under various pretexts, and at the same time inquired about Lu Jin's attitude towards the Kong family.

This can't help but make them nervous, the Kong family had already confessed to them before, and asked them to obstruct Lu Jin's implementation of the open sea, but as a result, they were subdued by Lu Jin's wrists, which naturally made them a little jealous of the Kong family.

Although Lu Zhen has their handle, in terms of weight, this young governor is still not comparable to the Yansheng Gong Confucius Sect, who has been inherited for thousands of years, in the minds of these Shandong officials. Of course, in the eyes of these people, it is best to be able to offend both sides, and it would be better if the governor could understand the truth that his arms can't twist his thighs and give in.

However, Lu Jin's reaction disappointed them. In the face of everyone's inquiries about the murder case, he only deduced that there was still a hidden story behind the case to be investigated, so he couldn't give an exact statement for the time being, so he sent everyone over. As for the opening of the port, he once again stressed the need to continue without any delay.

Seeing that he was so resolute, the officials did not dare to persuade him to say anything, so they could only leave with a full stomach full of anxiety. Their only hope was that Lu Zhen suddenly woke up and stopped automatically after feeling the strong pressure from Kongmen. But for now, it's still difficult. And in this way, I am afraid that there will still be a battle between the governor and the Kong family, which will be difficult for them to do!

As an insider, Lu Jin naturally knows this better. But when he faced such a behemoth that had been entrenched for thousands of years, he couldn't find a proper way for a while. After all, he still had big things to do, and he didn't want to die with the Kong family—in fact, he didn't think he had the ability to do that.

So in the next few days, Lu Jin's life will be a little difficult, in addition to dealing with relevant official affairs every day, he also has to constantly plan how to deal with the next possible offensive of the Kong family, which is really an extremely torturous thing.

When the initiative is not in your own hands, but you need to be on guard against the enemy's attack from time to time, and you don't know how the other party will deal with you, the passive side is the most uncomfortable. Even though Lu Zhen has gone through countless storms, he still feels difficult in the face of this scene.

"It's not the way to go on like this. Not to mention that the Kong family will definitely take action, even if they don't trigger it, just the pressure from them has made it difficult for me to open the port, and the result is half the effort. After looking at the official document from Weihai that day, Lu Jin's brows furrowed even tighter, and he came to such a conclusion.

It turned out that somehow, the Confucian family's opposition to the opening of the sea and the port had been completely spread on the ground in Shandong, which made public opinion quickly stand on the opposite side of the government. There is no way, in terms of reputation, the Confucian family in Shandong is far above the government. As a result, many of the people who had been recruited to open the port felt uneasy, because when the villagers learned that they had actually opened the port in Weihai, they immediately regarded them as helpers and abusers, and people came to their homes all day long to make trouble. In this regard, the local government did nothing, which made the family of a dry man a big blow, and they could only hurry up and let the family rush to Weihai to call back their father, son or brother.

In the face of this sudden situation, even Jinyiwei is not easy to use. No matter how tough Yang Zhen is who stays there to preside over the situation, it is not easy to force the people to stay and repair the port, right? Even if he really used strong measures, it was impossible for these people to do things wholeheartedly, and they had to be on guard against them at any time, which was really worth the loss.

So in the end, Yang Zhen had to temporarily allow them not to repair the port, but they still had to stay in the local area, and wait for the government to get the results before deciding to stay. Relying on the strict law of the king, the situation was finally stabilized temporarily, but the matter of repairing the port was completely delayed.

Lu Zhen really didn't expect things to turn out like this, obviously all this is caused by the Confucian family's guidance of public opinion, in fact, it seems to be similar to those students who came to the yamen to make trouble before, but the influence is greater, and the damage to himself is also deeper.

What's worse is that my time is still limited, and I can't afford to delay. If the port is not repaired this year, it will be difficult to really carry out the trade at sea next year, and the promises made before the emperor will be completely unfulfilled. Moreover, in this matter, Zhu Qiyu, who is far away in Beijing, cannot help himself, because he has already taken the title of Qincha and governor, and no matter how much the holy decree is, it will not have any impact, but may give opportunities to opponents of the DPRK and China.

"We can't drag it out like this anymore, the more we delay, the worse it will only get worse! The stumbling block of the Kong family must be solved as soon as possible, at least so that they can no longer mislead the people. Lu Zhen thought to himself, his hands were stronger, and he broke a brush in his hand into two.

Han Wutong, who was accompanying him, saw that his master fell into a long exam after reading the official document, and then frowned even more and broke his pen, and his heart was also nervous. After seeing Lu Zhen wake up from his contemplation, he hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, master, there is always a solution to things, and there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain." Don't think too much about it, why don't you go outside and relax, maybe then you can find a new way. ”

"Heh, if you can scatter your mind and find a way, there will be no problems in this world." Lu Zhen smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "You can step down, let me think about it alone." ”

Han Wutong had no choice but to agree, and after filling Lu Jin's tea with water, he quietly withdrew. Just when Lu Zhen exhaled a breath of turbidity, intending to make another deduction on the current situation and find a way to break the situation, he saw him go and return again, and came to the door: "Master......"

"What else?" Lu Zhen was interrupted by him, and asked with a frown rather impatiently.

"It's Qinggrad Qianhu, he's back." Han Wutong hurriedly replied, and at the same time, he turned to the side of his body, revealing the person behind him.

Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and found that the sturdy man dressed in coarse cloth standing behind Han Wutong was one of his henchmen, Qinggele, and his spirit was lifted: "Come in and talk." Five links, go and prepare tea. ”

"Yes." Both of them at the door agreed, one in and one out.

After entering the door, Qinggele glanced at Lu Zhen a few times, and said with some concern: "It seems that the adults are in trouble this time." Although the two are called master and slave, they are actually like friends, so they speak more directly.

Lu Zhen smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Now it's not just embarrassing, it's just a mess." Why did you come back alone? What about Brother Lin? What did you gain from Qufu? As early as when he arrived in Jinan, because he knew that the Kong family would become his biggest obstacle, he sent Lin Lie and Qinggele, two powerful people, to Qufu to find an opportunity to deal with the Kong family.

"If you miss your duty, I hope you will punish it!" As he spoke, he stood up from his seat and bowed his head with his fists clenched in shame.

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Lu Zhen was puzzled. He still knows a lot about Qinggele's ability, as a good hand beside Xu Gong, the former governor of Jinyiwei, his ability to detect things is not weak, how could he miss?

"I still underestimate the power of the Kong family in Qufu. Although I tried my best to hide my identity, I was still noticed by someone who was not a child of the Han family......" Qinggeler sighed and told him how he had missed.

It turned out that when he first arrived in Qufu, he and Lin Lie went their separate ways, each found a place to settle down, and found a new identity. Qinggel threw himself into an inn not too far from the Confucian mansion and became an inconspicuous handyman. Because he thinks that there are more people coming in and out, and he can hear more news.

At the beginning, he did get some gains, and found out that some outsiders had come to Qufu to look for their daughters last year, and they also made trouble in front of the Confucian Mansion. It's just that after the government came forward, it was found that the accusation was untrue, and in the end, it was not resolved, and the foreigner was also deported.

When he was going to follow this clue to dig deeper into the hidden secrets behind this, because he inquired too often about the news, it seemed a little abnormal, and he was finally targeted. Subsequently, some people saw that his cheeks after a little makeup did not look like the people of the Ming Dynasty, so he was regarded as a spying of the Mengren, and even the officers and soldiers of the local government came to arrest him.

Thanks to Qinggrad, he was still vigilant, and he got the news before the other party was arrested, so he quickly pulled out and left, otherwise he might fall into the hands of others. It's just that in this way, his identity was revealed, and he had no choice but to flee from Qufu.

After saying this, he said ashamedly: "Humble and incompetent, in the past two months, I have only found such a little worthless news, and I ask the adults to punish me." So saying, he got down on one knee.

When Lu Jin saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and picked him up: "You don't have to blame yourself, it's because I didn't think about it and forgot that you still have Mongolian blood, which made you almost in danger." So if you want to say wrong, it's me. ”

The words of "My Lord......" made Grad's heart warm, not only because Lu Zhen did not blame, but also because of his words that he did not regard himself as a blind man, which really regarded him as his own person.

After calming the people, Lu Jincai continued: "But you haven't found nothing, at least you found out that behind the Kong family's seemingly upright appearance is also where the filth and dirt are hidden. I was only suspicious before, but now, I am seventy or eighty percent sure that there must be something unspeakable hidden in the Nayan Holy Mansion, as long as it can be exposed, it will be enough to ruin the entire Confucian Sect! At this point, there was a hint of essence in his eyes!
