Everyone in the hall fell into a stupor again, this one really dared to say it, and not only put himself on the side of justice in an understatement, but also designated the government army and those evil slaves of the Zhou Wangfu as impersonation, so as to avoid a head-on conflict with only.

And at this moment, Zhu Yan and the others were also brought into the hall by the government officials, they didn't hear what Lu Jingang said, as soon as they saw Bao Zhenggang, Steward Zhu shouted urgently: "Governor Bao, don't you take down this bold guy?" This person actually dares to hide a large amount of grain in my Kaifeng City, which is really harboring evil intentions! And he dared to resist arrest and beat us to serious injuries...... Look at it, if you don't care about this, your Kaifeng prefect will be the end! ”

The arrogant appearance and arrogant face made Bao Zhifu full of greasy, and his expression became more and more gloomy. And taking this opportunity, Lu Zhen glanced at the steward Zhu with a blue nose and swollen face with contempt: "You are bold, you dare to roar wantonly in the court, really when this Kaifeng City has no royal law?" ”

There was another power in his body, and he suddenly pressed it, which made Zhu Yan feel afraid, but he didn't know how to continue to deal with it for a while. And Lu Zhen hurriedly rushed to the prefect of Bao and said: "Lord Prefect, the crime that this person refers to is too ridiculous. How can I have a law that forbids people to hide grain in their homes? If this is the case, I am afraid that all the grain merchants in the world will have to be caught! Moreover, he is not a member of the government, so he is not qualified to trespass into people's houses and take people at will. However, there is a clause in my Da Ming decree that as long as there is a villain who dares to trespass into the house without the consent of the master, it will not matter if he is killed. It's just self-defense, so naturally it's not offended! ”

"You...... It's just nonsense, we are on the orders of the prince to arrest people like you who have broken the rules, do you dare to disobey the prince's orders? "It's impossible to be reasonable, and Zhu Yan can only use the identity of King Zhou to oppress people. When he said this, his eyes still glanced at the face of the prefect Bao from time to time, obviously hoping that he would quickly cooperate to take down the person.

But Lu Jin obviously didn't intend to give them this opportunity: "You said that you are from the Zhou Palace, right?" I think you're just doing anything under the guise of King Zhou's mansion. King Zhou is wise and benevolent, how could he give such a chaotic life? I also hope that the prefect will be enlightened. ”

Bao Zhenggang, who was targeted by the two at the same time, only felt embarrassed for a while. He naturally didn't have the slightest good impression of Zhu Yan, but he didn't have the courage to offend the palace steward. However, what the plaintiff Zheng Lu said in front of him was very reasonable, so he didn't know how to refute it, especially when the other party also took out King Zhou to say it, it was even more difficult for him to refute.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire lobby seemed a little weird, Bao Zhifu, who was supposed to lead the trial, couldn't do anything, but the plaintiff and defendant were confronting each other there, and no one flinched.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Bao Zheng coughed lightly just now: "That, I think you did have a misunderstanding, this Zhu Zhen and Zhu Steward are indeed from the Zhou Palace, and this official can still testify." At this time, the only thing he can say is this. He also hoped that after knowing the identity of the other party, Lu Zhen would feel panicked, and at the same time retreat, so that he could regain the initiative.

But Lu Jin's reaction disappointed him again, after hearing this, his face did not change, but he glanced at the two of them with a little playfulness, and then shook his head lightly and sighed: "Is this actually the case?" ”

Zhu Yan's chest stood up because of this sentence: "The surname is Zheng, now you know how much mistake you have made, right?" You actually dare to openly beat the people of Zhou Wangfu, that is to slap the prince in the face, do you know what kind of crime this is and what will happen to you? Also, if you have obviously committed a mistake, but you still dare to resist stubbornly, that is a crime of one more degree! Governor Bao, I didn't order him to be taken down for me! The more he talked about the back, the more intense his tone became.

It's no wonder that he is so annoyed, as the steward of the Zhou Palace, he has never been the only one who bullies people, and he has never been taught such a lesson. And this time, he was almost beaten and escorted to the government office in front of the people of the city, and this person was a big loss. Now he just wants to be able to fight back with the help of the government. As long as Lu Zhen and them are taken down and put in prison, their life and death will be in their own hands.

I thought that these words would make Lu Zhen feel afraid, but in exchange for his back smile: "Hahaha...... How unreasonable! Although this Kaifeng belongs to the fiefdom of King Zhou, there are still officials appointed by the imperial court, and whether I am guilty or not is not something that you can say as a palace steward. Lord Prefect, you are the one who can be the master in this city, not such a so-called royal minion! ”

These words pierced Bao Zhenggang's heart like a sharp needle, making him feel ashamed for a while. Yes, it should have been as he said, everything in this city should be decided by himself, the prefect of the imperial court, but who called himself cowardly, and was actually eaten to death by a few palace stewards?

Lu Zhen could see that the other party was worried about something, so he continued: "Lord Prefect, even though he is really the steward of the palace, what he said really means His Royal Highness King Zhou?" From the point of view below, it is clear that he is falsely passing on his life. The prince is wise, how could he give such a chaotic order? It must be these people who spread such chaos for their own selfishness! ”

"This ......" Bao Zhenggang was stunned for a moment, as if he had grasped the key point in Lu Jin's words, but he was still a little vague for a while.

"You are talking nonsense, this is clearly the order of the prince......" Zhu Yan immediately saw the prefect's vacillation, and hurriedly spoke out against it. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Zhen intercepted him again and said: "Why, according to what you mean, do you want to say that the prince is very confused and selfish at all, and completely ignores the life and death of the people?" ”

At this time, Zhu Yan finally came back to his senses, and the sentence that came to his mouth suddenly stopped, staring at the person in front of him with a tangled face, and he really wanted to pounce over and bite the other party to death. However, he had already suffered a big loss under Yao Gan and others, so naturally he didn't dare to be presumptuous here with Lu Jin.

Outside the hall, Zhu Ke, who was listening to all this, also had a gloomy face, he knew that Zhu Ke was running out of words now. And what's even more troublesome is that in the face of this statement, it is difficult to deal with anyone in the palace who comes, and these people who are subordinates can't directly say that they are masters, right?

Of course, in the face of this statement, as long as His Royal Highness King Zhou can come forward in person, he will naturally be able to turn the situation back, and even as long as he shows up, it is enough to kill such a low-status small businessman. However, this is obviously impossible, and even in a sense, Lu Jin's words are actually correct.

In this incident, His Royal Highness King Zhou didn't really show up from beginning to end, let alone give an order to the government. Because he knows very well that once this is implemented, it will inevitably damage his reputation. So he just asked his subordinates to convey his intentions, and then forced officials like Bao Zhenggang to come forward to do things. In this way, it is he who benefits, and once something really goes wrong, Bao Zhenggang or his own steward will naturally bear the charge.

On this point, in fact, many officials in Kaifeng City can also figure it out, but because they didn't dare to offend King Zhou, they didn't break it, and they could only let Zhu Yan and a few other stewards come to Hu. But the Lu Zhen they met today was a spoiler who could not only see the situation clearly, but also spread everything out, which immediately caught them off guard, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

Bao Zhenggang's heart is also full of thoughts. At this time, if he still can't see some clues, then he is not qualified to sit in the position of the prefect at all. At the same time, he also regretted that he didn't think of this layer in the first place, so that he was manipulated like a marionette. It's a pity that it's too late to understand all this now, and it's impossible for me to get rid of the other party's control......

Lu Zhen looked at Bao Zhifu's expression changed several times, and watched his face go from being aware to regretting, and then to being helpless, he also vaguely understood something, obviously the effect of his words was also limited. It's still impossible for the other party to really be on their side.

In that case, we have to find another way. He took advantage of the fact that everyone was still silent, and said again: "My lord, in fact, the reason that this Steward Zhu said is not valid at all. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Bao Zhenggang frowned and asked with some puzzlement.

"He mentioned before that it was because I had food hidden in my house that he suddenly broke in. But in fact, this is simply a non-existent thing. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to search my yard and see if you can find too much food. So the so-called charges he imposed on me are simply false accusations! ”

"What do you say? I sent someone to keep an eye on the grain shop there early in the morning, and they brought back the news that someone had sent a large amount of grain to your yard! Zhu Yan immediately shouted.

But in response to him, Lu Zhen smiled disdainfully, and he didn't even bother to argue with him. Because Lu Zhen believed that at this time, the grain had already left Kaifeng, and the other party would definitely never find its whereabouts again.

This is also another intention of his anti-guest and completely making things bigger. When everyone's attention was focused on them, the eyes of the Zhou Wangfu in the city would naturally ignore the carriages carrying grain that left through the back door. In this way, not only can you clear yourself, but you can also take the opportunity to get some food for Xingze County. It's not much, but it's better than nothing, right?

Of course, his purpose this time is not only that, he wants more......
