Chapter 871: Ready to Move
When the county government suddenly sent someone to negotiate with Zhu Xuan and asked them to hand over all the grain they had taken away before, the latter was naturally extremely resistant and unwilling in his heart. But after some half-soft and half-hard persuasion, Zhu Xuan finally made concessions.
The reason for this is that in addition to the fact that the facts are indeed in front of them, Lu Zhen can already prove that the grain was indeed transported from Kaifeng by them and not the grain stolen by the Zhu family, but also because they are already a little weak and panicked.
At this time, the Zhu family was already anxious to face the angry victims, and if they knew that they had been ordered by the Zhou Wangfu to take advantage of this flood and food shortage to seize their fields, the situation would be completely out of control. Moreover, if they don't give face to the county government this time, and push them to the opposite side, once the disaster victims and the government join forces, their own situation will be really dangerous.
So under the trade-off, Zhu Xuan could only make concessions and obediently hand over the grain, and he didn't even dare to ask the county government for the steward who had been detained by the counter-sitting. When this result appeared, the county government felt a burst of relief, to be honest, during these days, the county government has been stuck by these two grain merchants, but they are not less angry, this is the first time to have the feeling of raising eyebrows, and in the final analysis, all this is thanks to the sudden appearance of Zheng Lu, a businessman.
With gratitude, the county officials became more and more intimate with Lu Jin, and regarded them as their saviors. However, Lu Zhen didn't take their reactions too seriously, and his attention was on the two most important things at this time.
First, it is natural that it has been seen before who the murderers of the artificial destruction of the river embankment are; The second is who shot all of Zhu Xuan's food, but deducted the charge on his head.
For the former question, Lu Jin's current clues and clues are not too many, although he already has the object of suspicion, but before he has an exact grasp, he does not dare to talk nonsense, and he has to let the people under him investigate more times. But for the latter question, in fact, the suspect has long been identified by him, it is Yin Xiang who seems to be on the same front as him and thinks about himself everywhere.
Long before he left here for Kaifeng, Yin Xiang openly and secretly proposed to join forces with him to snatch the grain from the hands of the two major grain merchants. It was only because of his own concerns that he rejected the other party's proposal. But at that time, he had already seen that the other party would not give up the original plan. It's just that he didn't expect that he would make a move to lead the way after he succeeded, and take advantage of the situation to blame himself.
And judging from Yin Xiang's instigation of himself several times later, this person's motives are becoming more and more impure, I am afraid that he is not only to help the victims here, but also wants to take this opportunity to make a bigger mess happen in Xingze County.
What we have to do now is to completely expose Yin Xiang's conspiracy and true colors, and this obviously requires some definite evidence, otherwise the other party will only deny it.
When Lu Zhen raised his head from his contemplation, his eyes had already flashed with essence, since the other party had done so many things, he would naturally show flaws, could he still be worried that he would not find it?

As the Zhu family returned the grain, the porridge shed opened by Lu Zhen and them was also reopened, and the victims were honest again after they had food to satisfy their hunger. So in the next two days, Xingze County returned to calm. While many people know that a new storm is still brewing, everyone is still enjoying the rare calm.
Of course, there are exceptions. Gao Ming's face was a little gloomy and he came to Yin Xiang: "Holy ......" just opened his mouth, and his title was pushed back by Yin Xiang's gaze: "I told you a long time ago, before it is done, I am a rich son!" β
"Yes, Childe." Gao Ming hurriedly changed his words: "It's not a way to go on like this." Now that the people in this county are content with the status quo, and Zheng Lu is in the way, our plan has completely stalled. β
Yin Xiang also frowned: "I've also been worried about this matter for the past two days. I really didn't expect it, this Zheng Lu is not only very capable, but also far more open-minded than ordinary people, and when he encounters such a thing, he can still deal with it calmly, and he doesn't see him angry and strong. I really didn't expect that we would come to Xingze this time to meet such a difficult guy. β
"Childe, in my opinion, it is better to use some means to get rid of him." Gao Ming suddenly proposed: "Since he is a stumbling block, just kick it out." While he didn't know our true identity, he hadn't been too guarded, so he ...... him earlier" said and slashed his palms downward, murderous.
Yin Xiang's eyes flashed slightly, and then he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this matter is very difficult." In fact, I don't know that getting rid of him will have a lot of benefits for us, not to mention anything else, just those disaster victims who inherited his feelings, once they know that he was killed, they will inevitably suspect that this is Zhu Xuan's doing, and when the time comes, we will definitely make our whole plan come true. β
"In that case, why not do it quickly?" Gao Ming hurriedly asked.
"Do you think there's a chance? None of his men are good at it, are you sure you can kill them without them noticing? Yin Xiang asked angrily. Gao Ming immediately lowered his head, he had also seen those people fighting, and he asked himself if he really had no way to deal with them. Of course, if it was placed many years ago, when his own strength was at its peak, this little thing would not be too difficult to do, but unfortunately it is no longer what it used to be.
Yin Xiang then said: "And if you want to succeed, it must be when he has not taken precautions." But at present, it seems that Zheng Lu should have doubts about us, and his precautionary heart will only be stronger, and it will be more difficult to get started. β
"Childe means he already suspects us?" Gao Ming was shocked and moved, "Could it be that even our identities can be seen through by him?" β
"It's hard to say, but judging from his attitude that day, he doesn't believe us as much as he used to."
"This is not easy to do...... Gao Ming lowered his head and groaned, and suddenly his mind changed: "Childe, in fact, we can do the opposite, and use the hands of the disaster victims to deal with him, so as to completely make this Xingze messy?" β
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's very simple, if they find out that there is a problem with the food that Zheng Lu gave them, and they will die if they eat it, will these victims turn against them?" Saying that, Gao Ming even seemed a little excited.
Before Yin Xiang could react, he hurriedly said again: "And this matter is not difficult for us, as long as we replace those grains with poison, we will be able to do it, so that Zheng Lu and they don't even have a chance to explain." Or, he could also put the blame on Zhu Xuan, after all, the grain was taken from them......"
Hearing Gao Ming say this, Yin Xiang's face was not full of joy, but with a trace of unbearability: "Although your plan may succeed, but the price is the lives of many innocent people......
"Childe, those who achieve great things are not informal, for our great cause, even if some people die, it is worth it, just as they have made meritorious contributions for us. As long as we succeed, we will treat other people and think that we will make up for it. Gao Ming insisted.
"But......" Yin Xiang was about to say anything more, but was interrupted by Gao Ming in a skeptical tone: "Childe, don't you refuse to do this because you have feelings for that Zheng Lu, right?" I have long seen that when he was in this county before, you always pushed back on the looting and planting of the looting and planting that I proposed. Don't forget who you really are, and don't forget what our cause is! β
was robbed of by his subordinates, Yin Xiang's face turned red with anger, and his breathing became short: "Don't talk nonsense, how can I have such thoughts?" I just can't bear to see innocent people fall victim to our success! β
"Really?" Gao Ming was skeptical: "Why were you so decisive elsewhere before?" β
"I ......" Yin Xiang was completely speechless at this time, and could only be stunned for a moment and said: "Then do what you want." But I have to warn you that the stakes are high, and if something goes wrong, I won't spare you. β
"Childe, just rest assured, this matter will not go wrong, none of them would have thought that we would have such a move." Gao Ming said confidently.
Now that the plan has been decided, the preparations that should be made must be made.
That night, after everyone rested, Gao Ming secretly carried a bottle of secret poison to the hall specially set aside in the county government as a place to store grain. His purpose is very clear, that is, to take advantage of everyone's inattention, mix poison into the rice noodles, so that once it is boiled into porridge soup for people to drink, it will inevitably cause death. After that, everything was naturally in order.
But then he found that his whole plan had a problem from the beginning. Although it was not early, and everyone rested, but outside this important grain depot, they still guarded the two of them, and looking at their vigilant appearance, it was obviously impossible for them to easily sneak into it to do tricks.
"How so? Did they take precautions? Gao Ming looked ahead with a headache, and after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see the other party have any intention of leaving, obviously they were going to stay here all night.
He didn't know that after experiencing the Zhu family's affairs, Lu Zhen became more and more cautious, so even if the situation was calm at this time, he sent people to watch this important granary, after all, it was not a big deal to be careful.
"What can I do?" Your own cowhide has been blown out, so you can't give up halfway, right? After Gao Ming's expression flashed, an idea suddenly popped up: "The only way to do this is ......"
