Five words, the power of the words is thousands, hitting the hearts of the officials below, so shocking that their expressions suddenly changed, and even their breathing became a little confused, let alone communicate with Lu Zhen at this time. The entire hall suddenly fell into a somewhat strange silence.

This statement is indeed extremely appalling, what kind of existence is this Wang family in Ulzhou City, and even Datong Mansion? It was a terrible existence that even the government had to avoid it, and none of the officials here dared to oppose or interfere with the fact that they flaunted their might in the city on weekdays. But now, Lu Zhen actually charged them with colluding with horse thieves and wanting to intercept and kill government grain, and this matter has become serious.

After all, the Ming Dynasty has its own royal law, even if it is a powerful and background family, it can't cross a certain bottom line, otherwise things will get into trouble, and no one can stay out of it. But if it is really official, with their small state office, can they really pose any threat to the Wang family?

After being silent for a long time, Tian Tao barely smiled—but now his smile looked more ugly than crying—and asked, "My lord, aren't you joking?" ”

The officials around also looked at Lu Jin, full of expectations, hoping that Lu Jin would nod his head at this time, saying that he was just joking. Because as far as they knew, Lu Jin's previous relationship with the Wang family was quite close, how could there be such a serious friction between the two?

But Lu Jin's answer disappointed them, and they saw him look back at them with a solemn expression: "Do you think this official will joke about such a big thing?" Or do you think that such a big thing can be regarded as child's play? ”

"But...... How is this possible? Hao Guang also swallowed his saliva a little nervously, and then said: "Those grains were all raised by the Wang family for our yamen, why did they do this?" It's not good for them at all. If they really wanted to be detrimental to the state, they would have rejected our request before. ”

This statement was immediately agreed by the other officials, and they all nodded: "Yes, my lord, there must be something hidden in this." Maybe it was those thieves who casually bit the Wang family in order to get rid of their crimes or something. ”

"That's right, that's how it should be. Because those horse thieves knew the status of the Wang family in my Datong, they thought of using this trick to get out...... "Everyone else will also consciously echo it, wanting to deny this statement as much as possible."

Lu Zhen just watched them quietly, and only after everyone stopped talking did he say slowly: "Actually, your official had this idea at the beginning. However, there is one point that the official is very puzzled, judging from the interception, those horse thieves have long been prepared to ambush on the main road to Datong where we are going, if it is just their spontaneous behavior, then how did they grasp the time and route of our state government to transport grain? ”

Of course, no one present could answer this question, and the little luck they had just had collapsed again, and they all looked embarrassed and speechless.

They couldn't speak, but Lu Zhen still had something to say: "As far as this official thinks, only some officials in the state government really know about our grain transportation. In other words, there are eight achievements that were revealed by the people of our state government before they became known to the Wang family. Because if you change someone else, you don't have the ability or the courage to do such a thing. ”

After this inference, Lu Jin's gaze swept over the faces of the officials in front of him like a sharp blade, until everyone's hearts skipped half a beat, and most people's eyes did not dare to meet him, and they lowered their heads one after another.

The atmosphere in the hall became even heavier than just now, and many officials looked at each other, secretly speculating about who the one who revealed the news would be, and whether it was as Lu Zhen guessed.

And Tian Tao closed his mouth earlier, he was already numb, and in the current situation, he could only see what kind of attitude his boss had. If he really wants to get to the bottom of it, his own acquaintance can't stop him. Anyway, he is innocent, but he is not afraid of Lu Jin's investigation.

But at this moment, Lu Zhen finally set his eyes on his face, and slowly called out in his mouth: "Lord Tian......"

This call made Tian Tao's whole person feel excited, and the officials around him looked at him with strange eyes, and suddenly doubted in his heart: Could it be that this matter has something to do with Tian Tongzhi?

Fortunately, Lu Jin's next sentence relieved him again: "No matter whether this incident is true or not, the Wang family always has to give an explanation to the official and the state." Therefore, you will send someone to Wang's house later, and let Wang Shu, or someone from his family who can be the master, come to our state government and explain this matter to this official. ”

Tian Tao breathed a sigh of relief, although the order entrusted to him still made him feel quite difficult, but he was innocent. So at this moment, he didn't dare to say anything for the Wang family, but immediately nodded and agreed: "The next official receives the order!" ”

It wasn't until he finished explaining this matter that Lu Jin waved his hand: "Since that's the case, everyone should go and get busy." There is a murder case in the state today, and I hope that you can work together to catch the murderer as soon as possible, so as to comfort the soul of the deceased in heaven. ”

"Yes, the lower official will retire!" It wasn't until they heard this sentence that everyone finally relaxed, and after saluting respectfully, they withdrew one after another. Speaking of some of them, I still muttered in my heart, whether I committed a crime today, which way is too old, only half a day's work, there are two serious major events, this is not a good sign, I have to think of finding a master to guide me in the maze.

After Lu Zhen dismissed everyone, he didn't stay in his public house for too long, and soon returned to the backyard to meet his two confidantes.

Although it was not too long to leave Ulzhou this time, something happened after all. Moreover, Chu Yunrong and the others are also newcomers, and they are still very unfamiliar with this environment, so they feel a little guilty about leaving them here. When I came back at this time, I naturally had to coax them well.

In fact, the two girls know the general situation, although they have a little resentment in their hearts, they also know that Lu Zhen did all this out of public intentions, so when they saw him come back at this time, they didn't complain anything. On the contrary, it was still a long time of greetings, and when they learned about Lu Jin's experience along the way, especially after encountering the attack of horse thieves, they were even more afraid, and they were concerned about him for a while.

It was only at this time, when two confidants were by his side and he comforted himself with tenderness, that Lu Zhen was truly relaxed. Before I knew it, I leaned back in my chair and fell asleep.

He was indeed quite hard during this period, not only had to rush back and forth, but also had to face possible dangers, and after arriving in Datong, he had to fight with Hu Sui and Miao Guangtai, two bosses, and tried his best to promote his two goals, which cost even more effort than rushing.

After returning to Ulzhou, he happened to run into such a rare tragedy, which made the string that Lu Jingang had just loosened tighten again. After such a long period of fatigue, he was finally physically and mentally exhausted, so after returning to the person who made him feel at ease, he didn't even bother to eat a bite of food, and fell asleep.

Seeing Lu Jin's frowning brows even in his sleep, the two girls felt even more pity, and after gently covering him with a quilt, they were not in a hurry to wake him up to eat, but stayed to the side, looking at his sleeping face with loving eyes.

Lu Zhen actually slept for more than two hours this night. When he returned to the backyard, it was just after noon, and when he woke up and looked out the window, he found that it was already pitch black.

This made Lu Jin obviously stunned for a moment, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "I didn't expect me to be so thirsty and sleepy, what time is it?" ”

"It's probably just after the unitary time." Yun Yan replied softly beside her.

"Oh?" Lu Jin saw that the two girls were still by his side, which made his heart warm suddenly. And then, I saw the food that had already cooled on the table in front of me, and the food had not been touched: "You guys, haven't you used to eat with me all the time?" ”

"We want to wait for Lu Lang to have dinner together when you wake up." Yun Yan smiled again and said, "But now that the food is cold, why don't you ask someone to take it and heat it up before eating." ”

"Why do you bother? If I starve you, I'll be distressed. Lu Zhen said with some emotion.

"Hmph, what about you? You've been through so many hardships outside, aren't we worried at home? Chu Yunrong glanced at Lu Zhen as if complaining, then stood up, opened the door and called the two girls, Cuimei and Qingwu, in, and asked them to take the food and reheat it before bringing it back.

Lu Zhen couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly when she said this: "It's me who is wrong, I should be concerned about your feelings, and I shouldn't tell you about the hardships on the road." ”

"You dare?" Chu Yunrong became even more annoyed when he heard this, and looked at him angrily: "If you dare to hide the matter from me and my sister, we will ignore you in the future." ”

"Yes, Lu Lang, don't hide anything from us because you're afraid that we will worry, otherwise I will stand with my sister." Yun Yan also quickly chimed in.

Seeing the appearance of the two women in a line, Lu Zhen had to raise his hand and surrender: "Okay, okay, I promise you, and I will definitely tell you the truth in the future." ”

"That's not all, you'll have to promise us less risk in the future. You are a civilian official, not a military general, why do you always take this risk? Chu Yunrong made further requests.

Lu Zhen naturally didn't dare to say no at this time, so he had to agree to her request again. In this way, it can be regarded as making the two girls happy, and after the meal is delivered, the three of them are together again, so it's not warm......
