Chapter 228: Don't Have an Inside Story

Qian Manjiang didn't ask Lu Zhen again why he didn't help Li Laoshi since he knew that there were good things under Li Laoshi's five acres of land, so he simply told the truth to him, but just let him get so many thousand taels of silver. He is still very clear about the truth that the husband is not guilty of his crimes, and if Li Laoshi, an honest and powerless peasant, is known to have such wealth in his hands, I am afraid that the end will be difficult to say.

Therefore, this is the limit that Lu Zhen can help him, at least the thousands of taels of silver are enough for him to live this life well. And there is no need to worry about being victimized by those powerful families for various reasons.

The only thing that made Qian Manjiang feel strange was why Lu Zhen didn't let the government come forward and swallow the five acres of land. But when the words came to his lips, he still endured it, and now the power offices in Hangzhou are really not counted, and this idea may not be successful.

Not long after Qian Manjiang got the answer and left, the people of Zhao Xie's family came to the door again, this time, the attitude between the two of them was much closer than before, and when they walked into Lu Jin's public house, the two sides were more humble, and finally entered side by side.

Lu Zhen looked at their pretentious behavior, and laughed unconsciously: "The two of you have obviously reached a consensus?" Are you willing to pay 5,000 taels of silver to buy these five acres of land together, or do you want to compete? ”

"Let's take the former." After the two glanced at each other, they finally gave an answer happily, but their faces were not too good-looking. Whoever is knocked so a bamboo pole of five thousand taels of silver will never be too happy in his heart.

"Okay, since the two of you are so quick to talk, then the official will give the matter to the two of you." Lu Zhen said, he had already taken the title deed prepared by Li Laoshi from the side, and then took out the relevant documents, and asked the two stewards to write a note on it and press their handprints.

The two did not hesitate at all, and stepped forward to set up a certificate according to what Lu Zhen said, and in the end, they exchanged the two silver tickets prepared earlier for two thousand five hundred taels each in exchange for the title deed in Lu Jin's hand. Lu Zhen took it and smiled: "In this way, the silver and goods are both good, and I hope that the two of you can work together to make good use of these five acres of land." ”

"That's natural, and we have to thank Lord Lu for your mediation and help." Xie Yipi said with a smile. And Zhao Xian arched his hand towards Lu Jin, and then they all left.

Lu Zhen exhaled, after all, the people of these two families are not high-spirited people, and they know when to back down, and this time the case has finally been completely resolved. His gaze swept over the five thousand taels of silver, and he smiled again, this Xie Yi never mentioned the breach of contract of one thousand taels of silver to himself, obviously, this is the Xie family sold to himself. Naturally, he couldn't mention this, after all, the silver was not his.

"Go, call Li Laoshi." Only then did Lu Zhen speak, beckoning to the people waiting outside.

After a while, Li Laoshi, who was full of apprehension, came to Lu Zhen again, and Lu Zhen put the two silver tickets that were enough for his lifetime into his hand, and instructed: "Live a good life in the future and take good care of your mother!" After that, he was stunned. Obviously, for a person like him, the five thousand taels of silver were too large for him to recover from this huge surprise for a long time.

After a while, he said with a little trembling: "My lord, how can there be so much silver here?" ”

"Because that's what your acres of land are worth. You don't have to think too much about the specific reasons, with this money, I believe you will have a much better life in the future. Lu Zhen said casually.

Li Laoshi's mouth moved, and in the end he didn't say anything, didn't even thank Lu Jin, and left a little distracted. In Lu Jin's opinion, this person must have been so happy because he got such a huge amount of money, so he didn't care, just smiled and watched his clumsy figure gradually move away. Then, he picked up the letter of guarantee with his name written on it, got up and walked out. Now that the case is closed, it's time to report back to the prefect.

Just when he came to the door, Lin Qing was coming outside, and his face looked a little solemn. Seeing this, Lu Zhen asked with some concern, "What?" But are there any difficult errands at hand? ”

Lin Qing and the four of them had already become people in the government at this time, and in addition to obeying Lu Jin's dispatch, they might also receive temporary assignments from other officials, so he asked with concern.

Lin Qing then hugged his fists and saluted: "I've seen adults." It's not an errand, but when I came in just now, I saw a person with good skills pretending to be an ordinary dealer, so I felt a little strange. ”

Lu Zhen was going to pass by with him, but when he heard this, his steps were stunned: "But a village man who looks quite honest?" Wear a gray cloth straight jacket. ”

"Exactly." Lin Qing was stunned: "Adults have seen him?" Who is he? ”

Lu Jin's expression suddenly became solemn, and he immediately asked rhetorically: "How can you see that he has good martial arts?" ”

Seeing him like this, Lin Qing immediately said with a solemn expression: "His steps are extremely firm and powerful, and every step is like a measurement, almost the same. And some of his actions, although he lowered his head, his eyes were always looking at both sides, and he didn't look as honest as he appeared on the surface. ”

"How...... How so? Is there a problem with this Li Laoshi? Lu Jin's heart beat suddenly, and then he said urgently: "Quick, you go and stop someone, I want to see him again!" ”

Lin Qing hurriedly agreed, and hurried towards the yamen. This move also quickly alarmed Lin Lie and Qinggele, who were guarding on the side, and when Lu Zhen walked out, they hurriedly followed: "My lord, what happened here?" ”

"That Li Laoshi may have a problem!" Lu Zhen spoke, but his steps were not slow, and he faintly had a feeling that there was still a problem behind this incident!

It's just that when he came to the front of the mansion, he only saw Lin Qing standing there with some hesitation, looking at the crowd in front of him, not knowing which side to chase. Obviously, Li Laoshi had already left the yamen and blended into the crowd, but it was too difficult to find him.

"A few of you, let's go out of the city to Da Li Zhuang, as long as he is still here, bring me back!" Lu Zhen immediately commanded.

Lin Lie hurriedly agreed, and then left in a hurry, but these officers at the gate of the yamen felt a little surprised, they didn't know what important things they had encountered, and they seemed so anxious.

Seeing them leave, Lu Jincai calmed down his mind again after taking a deep breath. Obviously, behind this matter is someone who wants to use this land to trigger a competition between Zhao Xie and even the four major families in Hangzhou. Fortunately, I have now solved the matter satisfactorily, otherwise the whole of Hangzhou may be in chaos because of this.

Li Laoshi is not the only one who can do such things, who will they be? That Li Laoshi is also a good means, pretending to be an honest person in front of him is so similar, and even hiding from Lin Lie and a few of them. If it weren't for the fact that he felt that it was impossible to appear in front of him in the end, maybe even Lin Qing might not be able to see the problem.

Thinking of this guy's disguise, Lu Jin couldn't help but shudder, and the pride of successfully resolving the matter just now had turned into fear.

When a few of them rushed back in the evening, they were even more sure of his judgment, not only did they not bring back the disguised Li Laoshi, but also brought two corpses that had long been rotting and stinking, which were the corpses of the real Li Laoshi and his wife.

The guy they met before Lu Zhen was simply fake. And because Li Laoshi is too honest, coupled with poverty, he doesn't have much intersection with the people in the same village, so that everyone doesn't know when Li Laoshi was dropped.

Looking at the two corpses in front of him, Lu Zhen let out a long sigh: "The other party had a premeditated plan, and after learning that there were good things in the five acres of ground, he began to arrange this conspiracy." If there were no five acres of land, I am afraid that Li Laoshi would not have been harmed...... I'll tell you all the truth and see if you need to keep looking for it! With that, he turned around and went to Hua Qianfeng's public house.

At the same time, in a courtyard in Hangzhou City, the "Li Laoshi", who had been extremely low-key and honest before, rubbed his face for a while, and some gray and black powder fell. In a short time, he changed from an honest country man to a shrewd, capable, and tall man.

In front of him, an equally sturdy man couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Lord Liu Xiang is really good, if it weren't for the incision you just reported this sect, I wouldn't have believed that it was you." ”

Lord Liu Xiang just smiled to himself, and then sighed: "What's the use of me pretending to be like again?" It's not a failure, but it was actually solved by the general judgment of a government office. If we had known this, we should have kept the secrets of the field and found an opportunity to dig things out ourselves. This time, it's cheaper for others! There is also the general judge named Lu Jin, if he hadn't been protected by a few good hands around him, I would have gotten rid of him a long time ago! ”

"This Lu Zhen is not simple, he has done great things in Shanxi and Beijing before, that is, those powerful people in the DPRK and China have suffered big losses in his hands, and it is not too surprising that you lost in his hands this time." With this sound, a young man slowly walked into the room.

As soon as the two saw him arrive, they quickly stood up and saluted, "I have seen the young master." ”

"No need to be polite. This time I came to Hangzhou to put a fire on the money and grain of this Ming court. Although this calculation did not come to fruition, there will always be opportunities. But the most important thing is to ensure your own safety first. I saw some moves from the government just now, and it should be that they have also discovered a flaw, so let's keep a low profile first. The young man said slowly, his tone full of calmness and composure......
