The hall did not laugh at or look down on Shi Feng because of this, because this is human nature, when he knows that there is a huge gap between himself and his opponent, who really dares to risk his life and that of his family? Especially when his life was still picked up by luck, he naturally didn't dare to take risks lightly.

However, Shi Feng didn't have much surprise after hearing his story, but he was a little puzzled: "Did you know that Zhu Xuan was from the Zhou Palace?" ”

Lu Zhen nodded: "Not long ago, we found out about this through other means. It's just that I didn't expect that even the previous river embankment was broken was related to him. As he spoke, another glint flashed in his eyes.

In fact, he has always had a question, how did the people of the Zhou palace smuggle gunpowder from Kaifeng here? Although the two places are not too far apart, after all, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents if they pass through the state and county. And the weather was rainy and rainy, and it was not easy to transport gunpowder and keep it dry. Now that he said this, the doubt was solved, it turned out that the gunpowder was in Xingze County, no wonder it was so easy.

Thinking of this, another thought flashed in Lu Jin's heart, maybe this is also a breakthrough!

At this time, everyone else looked at him, and Yao Gan hesitated for a moment and asked, "My lord, now that we have a human witness, and we can be sure that all this is a conspiracy of the Zhou Palace, what should we do next?" ”

"Naturally, I want to get justice for the people here!" Lu Jin's expression immediately grimace and said: "No matter who it is, since he dares to commit such a serious crime, he can't let him go unpunished." We Jinyiwei have taken down too many outlaws, and we don't care about taking one more vassal king. But before that, we must first solve the problem of food shortage among the people here. ”

"What do you mean by ......" Yao Gan, who was familiar with his style of acting, immediately came to his senses: "Let's do something to those two subordinates of the Zhou Palace?" ”

"Isn't that a natural thing to do? Since they had committed something early in the morning, it was justified to take people to collect food at this time. Let's go now, and arrest them immediately! With that, Lu Zhen stood up.

At this time, it was actually dark outside, and it looked completely unsuitable for action, but whether it was Jinyiwei's subordinates or the people from the county government, they didn't hesitate or object, and hurriedly agreed, and walked out with Lu Jin. After a while, hundreds of people were gathered, and they went out of the gate of the county government and went straight to the mansion of the two Zhu Palaces in the west of the city.

The movement here quickly disturbed the people who were about to rest, and everyone looked at this group of people with surprised and apprehensive eyes, and many people even had a panicked look, thinking that the county government's sudden dispatch of personnel was aimed at themselves. Seeing this, Lu Jin's mind turned, and he immediately shouted at those victims: "Fellow villagers, the government has made a decision today, in order to make everyone no longer hungry in the future, it is determined to immediately bring the insatiable Zhu Xuan and Gong Chen, two profiteers, to justice, and take out all the food hidden in their homes and distribute it to everyone." If you can trust us, come with us and defeat these profiteers! ”

If this was said by Wang Ningxian and other county officials, the people would still have some doubts. However, these words were said by Lu Jin, a great benevolent man who provided a lot of food for everyone, and the people quickly believed it. After a period of whispering, the crowd resounded in response: "Yes, we should unite and take back the grain that those profiteers have swindled from us, we can no longer go hungry, let alone sell the land left to us by our ancestors for generations!" ”

"Well said, let's go!" Seeing that he had arched everyone's anger, Lu Zhen waved his hand and took the lead to move forward. Immediately, hundreds of people also joined this team, and a huge team of one or two thousand people rumbled towards Xicheng, and as they walked all the way, the number of people in the team continued to increase, and when they really arrived in front of the Zhu family's mansion, there were three thousand people behind Lu Jin.

Such a huge team rushed over violently, and the movement it made was naturally great, and it soon alarmed the Zhu family. When the slave at home saw the situation outside through the crack in the courtyard door, his expression changed even more, and he ran to the back with a roll and crawled to the back, and reported to his master.

Zhu Xuan's mood has been very nervous recently, and after his identity was exposed, he knew that the government must have a trick. He had even sent someone back to Kaifeng to ask his prince for help, but he didn't reply in a short time, and the only thing he could do was to stay at home, not daring to be as arrogant as before.

But as a result, you don't make trouble, but others come to mess with you. When he heard the report from the housekeeper that a large group of people suddenly came to his door, he suddenly changed color: "It's really against them!" It's true that there is no king law in this Yingze County, and some mud-legged people dare to come to my house. Ask someone to take out all the weapons for me, Lao Tzu wants them to see blood today, and know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has! ”

Just as he was giving orders, a steward in the front yard ran over with a nervous expression: "Master, there is someone from the county government outside who wants to come in and talk to you......

"What?" Zhu Xuan's face changed again: "There are also people from the county office?" ”

"Master, look at it, the people who suddenly surrounded the door of our mansion this time were brought by those from the county government and the guy named Zheng Lu." The steward hastened to explain. And these words made Zhu Xuan even more annoyed: "These white-eyed wolves who can't be raised, eat my family's and use my family's, and now they are actually working against me together with outsiders, is it really easy for me Zhu Xuan to bully?" Has he forgotten that Lao Tzu is still from King Zhou's mansion? ”

But anger can be angered, but now the situation cannot be angry. Even if he was reluctant, he could only agree to the request of the people from outside, and met with them to talk: "You go out to spread my will, if you want to talk, only three of them are allowed to come in, and no one is allowed to enter." ”

For his request, Lu Zhen did not resist it, and immediately agreed. Subsequently, under the escort of Yao Gan, he walked into the Zhu family's mansion with Wang Ningxian, who represented the county government. In the face of the Zhu family's angry eyes that they couldn't eat him alive, Lu Zhen didn't show the slightest fear, and even had a hint of a smile on his face. After all, he had encountered too many storms before, and compared to those, this Zhu family was like a small pool.

In the side hall where he had talked to Zhu Xuan that day, Lu Zhen saw this Boss Zhu again. However, compared with that day, Boss Zhu's face today is much more ugly. This made the smile on Lu Jin's face a little more playful, and he smiled when he met: "Boss Zhu, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." ”

"Humph!" Zhu Xuan glared at him hatefully, and then his gaze fell on Wang Ningxian: "Wang Xiancheng, what the hell is going on, you have to give me an explanation." Otherwise, you now know my identity, as long as I Zhou Wangfu delivers a word, it will not be a difficult thing to take you on top of the black veil! ”

Such an impudent threat made Wang Ningxian's face change, but today's main owner was not him, and he was not easy to attack, so he also snorted and said: "Zhu Xuan, don't find the wrong person, this official is just here today to testify, and it is this lord who really wants to negotiate with you." As he spoke, he led Lu Jin.

"He ......" As soon as Zhu Xuan heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn, and while re-examining Lu Xuan, he said softly: "No wonder!" He had thought it strange before, how could an ordinary businessman be so kind to come to help the victims of the disaster in this county, and how could he dare to do it against himself. Now, the answer has finally been revealed, and it turns out that the other party actually has another identity.

Lu Zhen leaned on the back of the chair and also looked back at the other party: "Boss Zhu, I came here with the people today for two things, one is to ask you for food." Now there are tens of thousands of disaster victims in this Yingze County waiting for food to save their lives, and only you and Gong Chen's family still have enough food, so I can only ask you to help these disaster victims. ”

"Hahaha...... I remember telling you earlier that my food can only be used to exchange land with the victims, let alone give it to them for nothing, even if you exchange it for silver, I will not sell it. Zhu Xuan immediately laughed, looking like he didn't take the other party seriously. He does have this confidence, after all, he is a person from the Zhou Palace, and his status is transcendent, which is not something that ordinary officials can be frightened of.

In the face of such an attitude, Lu Zhen was not moved, but sighed with some regret: "Originally, the official planned to let you take out the food to alleviate some of your previous sins. But since you toast and don't eat and want to eat penalty wine, then there is no way. In fact, in addition to this, this official has another important thing here, that is, to take down you thieves who have caused trouble, and to seek justice for the innocent people who died in the flood before. ”

"What did you say?" This time, Zhu Xuan finally felt nervous and screamed.

"I said that the crimes you committed before have been discovered by this official, and the embankment was broken by you with gunpowder, isn't this kind of great crime enough to take you down?" Lu Zhen said, and smiled again: "Now only the people in the government know about this matter, but if the matter is publicized and the victims outside know that their homes were destroyed because of your greed, and their relatives were drowned and starved to death because of you, what kind of revenge do you say they will take?" By the end, his smile had turned grim, and his tone was full of threat!
