Obviously, this matter is not something that Bao Zhenggang can do as a prefect, so after some hesitation, he still tentatively asked: "You don't have anything else to say?" ”

Lu Zhen smiled at him and didn't speak again, just shook his head firmly. His requirements have been made very clear, and as for the severity of it, presumably the people of Zhou Wangfu can naturally weigh it. Although this will damage their face, it is naturally nothing compared to the consequences caused by the spread of the matter.

Seeing Lu Jin's insistence, although Governor Bao was dissatisfied, he was also a little helpless, so he could only snort: "In this case, then you can wait a little longer, and the official will discuss it with them." ”

"Your Excellency, please." Lu Zhen smiled again, then left the small cubicle with his fists, and came outside to say to the two palace stewards who were looking at him with unkind eyes: "My request has been made, you go and discuss with the prefect." ”

Zhu Ke glanced at him thoughtfully, then frowned slightly, and together with the seven dissatisfied and eight dissatisfied Zhu Yan, they also entered the compartment and went to the prefect Bao to discuss. The other people in the hall looked at him carefully with strange expressions, and it was obvious that until this time, these people still couldn't believe that he, a merchant from a foreign country, dared to be such an enemy of the prefect and the prince of a place. Lu Zhen didn't react much to this, just stood there leisurely, waiting for the results to appear.

After a while, Zhu Yan's slightly annoyed voice came from inside: "...... This can't be done, so how can the face of my Zhou Wangfu be saved......" Then, apparently because someone persuaded him, his words lowered again, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

And in this way, the eyes of those people around looking at Lu Zhen were a little more worried and gloating. Obviously, in the eyes of these people, this thing is very difficult to get right.

It was Lu Zhen himself, who looked determined, and he didn't look worried at all. In fact, he also has the confidence to know that those people will eventually compromise.

At this time, on the other side of the screen, the three of them stared at the small ones with three different expressions. Zhu Yan was naturally angry, while Bao Zhifu was worried and dazed, he had already finished what he should say, but now it was not him who was the chief official of the government. As for Zhu Ke, who can really be the master at this time, he looks contemplative, and he should be weighing the pros and cons.

After a long time, he looked up and asked, "In other words, his purpose is to get us to return people and food to him, and he doesn't mean to investigate to the end?" ”

"It should be like this, he also knows that he can't get good by blindly pestering the palace." Governor Bao nodded hurriedly and agreed, and at the same time felt a little difficult in his heart, not knowing if the other party would accept this proposal.

Zhu Yan also said: "Brother Ke, this is about the reputation of the prince and the palace, once we give in, I'm afraid there will be other people who will do the same thing in the future......"

Zhu Ke raised his hand and interrupted the other party's noise, and then spoke: "At present, it seems that only in this way can this situation be over." In that case, let's sell him well! ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yan suddenly became a little anxious again, and Bao Zhenggang hurriedly nodded: "The second steward really understands the righteousness, and the lower officials admire it!" "As long as the matter is like this, then he can get out of this matter, and as for how the people of the palace fight with this blind guy in the future, it has nothing to do with him.

"But ......" Zhu Ke smiled coldly: "Since people are locked up in the prison of your mansion, everything will naturally be done by you in the prefect's mansion." ”

"Of course, just let the person go with the mistake I made before......" Bao Zhifu nodded busily, feeling relieved. But then, his face changed slightly, and he remembered a little: "What does the second steward mean that everything will be handed over by our government office?" Including those confiscated grains? ”

"Yes, this matter has nothing to do with my Zhou Wangfu, so naturally your government will be responsible." Zhu Ke grinned: "Everything is left to the prefect." ”

"But where is the official going to get those tens of thousands of catties of grain......" Bao Zhifu immediately cried out bitterly, but the other party obviously didn't want to bargain with him anymore, as soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhu Yan, and the two of them also turned out of the screen together.

At this time, poor Bao Zhifu was completely dumbfounded, he realized that he still had not been able to completely solve the problem, and the grain alone was not less than a thousand taels of silver, and it was still in normal times, and now in this famine year, the price of silver has increased several times......

But now, even if it is difficult, he can only grit his teeth, and after some hesitation, Bao Zhenggang followed with a black face. When he met Lu Jin's inquiring gaze, he was annoyed again, and then said in a somewhat stiff tone: "After several interrogations by this official, it was found that this case was caused by a momentary misunderstanding. The two sides have also reached an agreement and have decided not to pursue the case. ”

After a pause, he added: "In addition, the foreign merchants who were imprisoned by our government two days ago are actually innocent, and this official has decided to release them, and the grain confiscated at that time will also be returned in full in two days." I wonder what you both think about this? ”

What Lu Zhen wanted was this last promise, and after listening to the question at this time, he smiled and arched his hand: "Governor Bao is aware of everything, and he really admires it, and everything is arranged by the adults." ”

The other two also snorted coldly and said, "Just do what the prefect wants." As he spoke, he stared at Lu Zhen fiercely, and then waved his sleeves away.

Many people in the hall had already tasted some tastes, and there was a little more shock in their eyes when they looked at Lu Jin. It turned out that this guy still came with a purpose this time, he not only dared to challenge Zhou Wangfu, but also let him succeed, this means, this courage is really amazing.

However, there are also many people who feel that he is already a dead man when they look at Lu Jin. Because even if he succeeded by luck this time, he had already completely offended the prefect's yamen and Zhou Wangfu to death, even if he rescued people and got food, I am afraid that it will be impossible to return to Xingze County safely.

Of course, with the caution of the Zhou Palace, it would be impossible for them to do anything to Lu Zhen and his subordinates in Kaifeng City in the future, otherwise they would be convicted of their crimes. But once you leave Kaifeng, things are not easy to say.

Lu Zhen didn't seem to have thought of this at all, a victor's smile appeared on his face, and after thanking him again, he left the court with grace.

After retreating, the gloomy prefect Bao called the relevant subordinates to him and asked them to immediately start to release the relevant people who were imprisoned in the cell. Then, he called his trusted master to him and ordered: "You take the official's warrant tonight to go to Changping, take out 40,000 catties of grain from the warehouse, and hand it over to Zheng Lu and others for inspection." ”

"Ah...... My lord, this is not a good thing. The grain in the Changping warehouse is the life-saving food of the people of Kaifeng, once the number is short, and then let the peak find out, the adult's guilt is not light. The master was suddenly a little panicked, and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.

But Bao Zhenggang obviously didn't have the heart to argue with it today, and only made a face: "You just do it, and your own official will bear it if something happens." ”

Seeing that his boss said so, the master didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he could only answer in a low voice, took the warrant handed over by the other party, and went out hesitantly.

Bao Zhenggang sighed again, he didn't know that this was playing with fire, once this matter was exposed, his crime was enough to disgrace him and exile. But now, does he still have a choice?

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, Zhou Wangfu will definitely not let go of Zheng Lu and his gang easily, as long as he finds the right opportunity, he will be able to get the food back then. In this way, there will naturally be no danger. As for what happened, let Zheng Lu and them send the food to Xingze safely, or if they didn't come back, he would always have a way to make up for the food. Isn't it just to spend more money to buy food, over the years, he still has some silver in his eunuch bag.

Although he comforted himself like this, once he thought of the latter possibility, our prefect Bao still felt a pain in his flesh. I only hope that the latter will not come true, so let these bold and reckless people die without knowing what to do, just follow ...... Thinking of the previous events, he unconsciously shuddered again, and didn't dare to think about it any further.

Now that the prefect has given the order, it is naturally not good for the prison to delay any longer. So soon, Lu Fang and the others who were in prison were quickly released, which made them admire their master more and more. You must know that this time, my master did not show his identity as the commander of the Jinyi Guard and Wei Chengbo, but he was still able to rescue them in just one or two days, which is not something that ordinary people can have.

On the other hand, the people who wanted to wait to watch the play finally got such a result - the two sides actually reconciled like this, which made them disappointed and a little surprised. When did the Zhou Wangfu, who had always been unscrupulous in the city, actually tolerate it, which was really more unbelievable than their people being chased and beaten and taken to the palace as prisoners.

Of course, this is still if everyone does not know the concessions they have made, otherwise they will have to fall to the ground with glasses - if the people at this time have glasses.

In this way, a storm that shook the whole city subsided. It seems that everything is calm again, and only a few people know that after this person is gone, this song is far from over. It won't be long before those foreign businessmen will know the fate of offending the Zhou Palace.

However, Lu Jin, they won't know this, will they not make some arrangements?
