Chapter 562: Wine and Wealth (II)

Outside the bathhouse, Han Wutong and several people in the garden all looked at each other with lewd smiles, imagining what kind of scenery should be in the bath room at this moment. It's just that I don't know if Governor Lu can hold up with one to five.

But at this moment, the door suddenly opened, and several women who looked like flowers and jade walked out of it with strange faces, which made several men outside also look at each other and be surprised: "Did the adults let you out?" ”

"The adults said that they don't need us to serve ......" The girls replied with some complications in their hearts, not only regretting that they could not be tied to such a young and powerful person, but also feeling a little relieved.

Han Wutong opened his mouth slightly, as if he had thought of something in his heart, but he didn't show it, so he could only let the women retreat, and he and his subordinates continued to stay outside the door. After waiting for more than half an hour, Lu Jincai, who was refreshed, stepped out of it in high spirits.

It is said that the hot springs here are really comfortable, and after soaking for a while, the fatigue and alcohol on his body have been washed clean by the water, and even his steps are a lot easier. And when Lu Zhen came out and saw Han Wutong and a few other people dodging and strange eyes, he snorted, but he was not in a hurry to say anything, and just walked to the backyard.

After returning to his bedroom, he left Han Wutong behind, and then looked at him with a smile: "You should have known the arrangement in the bath room, right?" ”

Although Lu Zhen was not angry and blamed, Han Wutong still felt an invisible pressure pressed down, and his body trembled, and he knelt down: "Master forgive me, the little one feels that this is a kindness from others, so he didn't report it......"

"Hmph, make your own decisions! This time, I won't mention that you are a first-time offender, if there is a next time......" Lu Zhen did not tell him to get up, but looked at him condescendingly, and said seriously.

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare anymore......" Han Wutong hurriedly kowtowed and promised. After scaring him a few words, Lu Jin waved his hand to let him retreat.

It's not that Lu Zhen is making a fuss and making no sense of people, it's really that he can't relax here. Although this incident is small, it is a temptation for those people in Jinan City to themselves, and if they don't tie the fence tightly, it will make a big mistake in the future. Especially people around him like Han Wutong, they can't make their own claims or even be bribed.

Speaking of which, this is also the consequence of Lu Jin's rapid ascension. If he had been in the same position as others had gone through decades to rise to his current position, then the cronies around him would have known and been loyal to him a long time ago, and would naturally not have made such a mistake. As the saying goes, there are gains and losses, that's the truth.

After a short sigh, Lu Zhen walked inside, wanting to rest in peace. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a scene that surprised him, on the carved bed, there were two young girls who were also wearing only belly pockets and looked charming! As soon as they saw him come in, the two girls got up from the bed and knelt there to greet him: "The slave Miaoyu (Miaoqin) greets the adult, let the slave and the maid come and rest for the adult." ”

If you look closely, the appearance of these two women is almost the same, and they are still a pair of tweeds. But Lu Zhen took a step back abruptly, and whispered outside: "Come on, Han Wutong, you come in for me!" ”

It wasn't until Han Wutong crawled in and persuaded the two girls to leave with good words that Lu Zhen was at peace. Lao Han also forgot about the matter because of the panic in his heart before, and he didn't call out the maid who had been arranged in Lu Jin's bedroom earlier, which made him speechless for a while.

This night, Lu Zhen actually suffered from insomnia after a tiring journey, smelling the body fragrance left by the woman on the bed at the end of his nose, and constantly having the infinite scenery passing by in his mind, which was really a bit torture for a young man with strong blood.

It wasn't until after the fourth watch that he really fell asleep, but fortunately he had the foresight to let people talk to the outside early, and he didn't see anyone the next day.

However, those officials in Jinan didn't know about his order before, so when the morning passed, seeing that the sky was bright, Gao Duzhong and Zhou Chaoxian, two local high-ranking officials, came together and wanted to visit the governor.

In fact, from their hearts, it is better to meet Lu Jin as little as possible, after all, when meeting with him, they always have to talk about the opening of the sea, which is a problem that they desperately want to avoid. But now that they are their top bosses, of course they, as subordinates, have to come to greet and ask for instructions.

But the result of this day was not good, and word soon spread in the garden, that the governor had worked hard all the way, and had drunk too much wine yesterday, and that he had to rest well today, and that no one was gone.

After hearing this, the two of them were obviously relieved, and then when they looked at each other, a smile appeared in Gao Qianzhong's eyes: "The fatigue and drunkenness of the journey may be true, but more importantly, Lord Futai couldn't get up because he was overworked last night." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Chaoxian asked a little puzzled.

Gao Duzhong then remembered that everything in the garden in front of him was arranged by the prefect's yamen, and then reported directly to himself, so Zhou Chaoxian, as an envoy, did not know yet. whispered that he had already arranged for several beauties to enter the garden to serve Lu Jin.

Zhou Chaoxian shook his head and laughed when he heard this: "The feudal platform is really clever in its means, and the lower officials admire it." If it was Lord Futai, he would really be happy, but he would save a lot of trouble. ”

"I hope so." Gao Qianzhong nodded. In his mind, Lu Zhen was young, so he naturally couldn't resist the temptation of beauty, and even if he couldn't completely consume his will, it would be good to drag on for a while.

However, their smug mood did not last long, and before noon, news came out of the gardenβ€”he had not been lucky to have any of the beauties he had prepared for the governor last night, and had been driven out of the door by him!

"How is this possible?" Gao Duzhong, who heard the report, couldn't believe his ears. He has also seen those beauties in person, and all of them are charming and charming, not to mention, they are still Qing people selected from the teaching workshop department of Zhuzhou County, under Jinan Mansion. Not to mention a young man like Lu Jin, even he, an old man who is over half a hundred years old, is also excited when he examines these women: "How did he do it?" ”

Of course, he wouldn't understand that Lu Zhen had seen a lot of pictures of beautiful women on the Internet before crossing over, and he had long been immune to it. In addition, the two wives in his family are also the best in the world, and they are much stronger than those Qingqi people. In this way, the temptation of these beauties to him is minimized. Moreover, he was also vigilant in his heart, knowing that Shandong officials would use some means against him, so he naturally broke this situation.

"Hey, it's going to be a problem now." After accepting such a result, Gao Qianzhong couldn't help but sigh. This is not only because his wishful thinking has not been carried out, but also because this will inevitably make the governor wary of himself, and it will be even more difficult to deal with it in the future.

Zhou Chaoxian, who rushed over after hearing the news, also sighed twice with him, and then frowned and said: "Our Lord Futai is really extraordinary, even such a temptation can be resisted." If we are sincere and tenacious, we will not be able to do it next. After all, there is still the Kong family over there. ”

"Yes, we are not easy to offend at both ends, but what should we do?" Thinking of how difficult the following days were, Gao Fantai felt that one head and two were bigger.

At this time, He Yuan, the prefect of Jinan, who had not spoken much in the last seat, said cautiously: "Two adults, the lower officials are a little foolish, and things may not be really unthinkable. Although Lord Futai doesn't like women, it's hard to guarantee that he doesn't have other hobbies. As long as we take the right medicine, we can always do what is good. ”

"What does the prefect mean......" The two Shangguan suddenly fell into deep thought and asked casually.

"In life, all he seeks is fame and fortune and wine, since he doesn't like it, and his name is already there, then only ......"

"Ah, it turns out that he wants a sharp word!" Gao Quanzhong slapped his palm and said, "Why didn't I think of this section?" Since he advocates opening the sea, he naturally attaches great importance to the word profit. ”

Zhou Chaoxian looked at it but was not as excited as him, but frowned slightly: "Although there is some truth in what we say, where can we get the money to satisfy the appetite of a governor of Qincha?" ”

This is indeed another problem, the Ming officials are already very poor, because there are really few people. Moreover, it is impossible for them to really take out the wealth accumulated in their eunuch bags for many years, everything can only be wool from the sheep, and they have to go from the local merchants and people in Shandong.

Gao Qianzhong laughed: "This is not too difficult, after all, all the major clans in Shandong are looking forward to the Confucian family, as long as we use their mouths to state the interests and disadvantages to these people, and then let them take out a sum of money to fill the appetite of the governor, won't everything be fine?" ”

Over there, He Yuan couldn't help but nod his head in agreement. Anyway, as long as he doesn't let himself suffer losses, and doesn't go against the governor or the Kong family because of this matter, he will definitely raise his hands in agreement.

As a result, several important local officials in Shandong discussed how to take bribes and bribes in the yamen of the political envoy in such a grand manner, and they simply did not take the sixteen-character warning stone engraved by the Taizu outside, such as the 16-character warning stone engraved by the heavens difficult to deceive, as a matter.

However, before the wishful thinking of the two of them could be fought, another day later, the governor had already sent someone to summon them to the garden to discuss the matter. And this, for them, is really a kind of entanglement, after all, they dare not oppose and contradict the Qincha, the only thing they can do is to play Tai Chi and drag down this important matter of opening the sea.

But with just a procrastination, can they really hold on?
