Chapter 774: Binding Hands

Fantasy fans., the fastest update of the latest chapter of the prosperous Ming Dynasty!

In this matter, Lu Zhen is still a little too optimistic.

The next morning, as soon as Lu Zhen arrived at the Zhenfu Division, he issued an order to let his subordinates search for Zhou Lu's whereabouts all over the capital, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they must find out this key person.

After hearing Lu Jin's and Qinggele's story, those subordinates also knew that things had changed, and they all responded to the order, and each sent relevant people to search around, or spread the word to the light and dark spies all over the city, and the entire Zhenfu Division immediately got busy.

It wasn't until he was instructed about the relevant things that Lu Zhen calmed down a little. He believed that as long as he found the people, there was still room for cracking this conspiracy that was obviously aimed at him and Jinyiwei. But everything has to be fast, since the other party has already launched, it will not leave too much time for itself to react. Fortunately, he believed that with the strength of Jinyiwei, as long as Zhou Lu was still in Beijing that time, he would definitely be able to find out.

Now all he had to think about was, who was designing against him?

Although he has indeed offended many people over the years, no one in the DPRK should have the courage and skill to borrow such a major event as the imperial examination to harm himself. Especially those civil officials, who have always taken the imperial examination very seriously, and it is impossible for them to do such a thing.

It's those warriors who come to this hand without any worries. It's just that he has never had any contradictions with them, and now that the status of the military generals and nobles is constantly falling, he doesn't have such a big courage. The only exception is Shi Heng, who has indeed had a grudge against him, but he is still guarding the border in Shanxi, so it can't be him.

"Who is ......" combined with various signs, Lu Zhen really couldn't think of the identity of the opponent.

Just in the middle of the entanglement, a personal guard suddenly ran to the door with a nervous expression: "Dudu, a group of people from the Criminal Department suddenly came outside, saying that they were coming to take you over for questioning!" ”

"Huh?" Did it happen so quickly? Lu Zhen was a little surprised, and the person also stood up suddenly in surprise. He didn't know that when he came to the Zhenfu Division early in the morning and ordered his subordinates to wait all over the city to search for Zhou Lu, Meng Tingyue, the chief examiner of this examination, had already rushed to the palace.

At that time, the emperor was in the early court with his ministers, and when he heard that Meng Tingyue, who was supposed to be in the examination room, suddenly asked to see him, everyone was suddenly surprised. Knowing that something big must have happened, the Son of Heaven didn't dare to slack off, and quickly let Meng Shilang enter the palace to reply.

And after Meng Tingyue said what happened in the examination room last night, there was an uproar. There is a person who is in a hurry, and he is already yelling anxiously to take down Lu Zhen for questioning.

The emperor originally didn't believe his statement, but then Meng Tingyue took out the joint testimony of a deputy examiner, and Wei Chengmo confessed that everything was instructed by Lu Jin, but he had to believe that it was true.

This made the Son of Heaven disappointed, and Long Yan was also furious. Fortunately, he still has many years of trust in Lu Jin, and he just ordered the yamen of the Criminal Department to bring people back to ask for the root cause, instead of directly asking them to take people for questioning.

But even so, there is a lot to be done for the Criminal Department. Some time ago, the Jinyi Wei didn't make them suffer a lot, and they lost all their faces, so this time they naturally wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge on Lu Jin, the leader of the Jinyi Guard.

So after receiving the order, the Criminal Department sent hundreds of soldiers to attack the Zhenfu Division with great fanfare, and opened up the matter at the door, bluntly saying that Lu Jin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was suspected of instructing his subordinates to steal and leak the exam questions, and he came to bring people back for interrogation.

They know very well that the sudden news of such a bombshell in the city of Beijing is tantamount to dropping a bombshell in the city of Beijing, especially those candidates, who will regard them as the most hateful and evil people, and public opinion together is enough to make him unable to turn over.

Their sinister intentions soon came into play, and although there were few pedestrians in the area of the Suppression Division, the sudden appearance of so many criminal servants here was quite noticeable. Coupled with their deliberate publicity, Lu Zhen has not yet come out, and many people already know about it and hurriedly go elsewhere to spread the news.

And the behavior of the Criminal Department naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the people in the Suppression Division. After several months of training and rectification, as well as the experience of several cases, Jinyiwei's confidence is also sufficient, and he is no longer as afraid of things as before.

The two sides stared at each other with big eyes, and still pressed the hilt of the knife in their hands, as if they were about to make a move if they didn't agree with each other.

When He Chang, the head of the Criminal Department who led the team to come, saw this posture, his face immediately sank, and he scolded: "Bold, are you trying to rebel?" My criminal department came to get people at the behest of His Majesty, and I didn't ask Lu Zhen to come out and be tied up! ”

"What will? Show me! In the face of the other party's aggressiveness, Xue Xingdeng, the Jinyi Wei Qianhu, was annoyed and spread his hands. Since he suffered at the hands of Lu Jin, this disciple of the general has settled down a lot, and he no longer dares to cause trouble. And after hearing and seeing it in the past few months, he really admired Lu Jin, and truly recognized this Jinyi Guard commander.

So when Lu Zhen had an accident this time, Xue Qianhu was the first to stand up and speak for him. And with his identity, he is really not afraid of any conflicts with the people in the Criminal Department.

Xue Xing is also a bit famous in the capital, and he is also registered in the yamen of the Criminal Department, so someone hurriedly told He Chang his origin quietly. When Master He heard this, he also had a headache, so he could only snort and say, "How can this will be made for you to wait and see?" What about Lu Jin? Why hasn't it come out yet? ”

"The governor of my family is noble, can you see it when you want to see it, and take it when you want? Don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know what your idea is, you don't want to take revenge for the last time! Xue Xing is a master who does not hesitate, as long as it is something he has identified, there will be no concessions.

Just as the two sides were arguing in front of the Zhenfu Division, Lu Zhen finally rushed out with a black face, accompanied by several personal guards: "What are you guys doing?" Don't quit yet! As soon as he saw that his subordinates were about to start with the people from the Criminal Department, Lu Zhen was a little anxious, and hurriedly reprimanded. Things are bad enough, and if you let the other party get some tricks, it will be really difficult for you to get out of it.

Lu Dudu's words were still very prestigious, and as soon as everyone saw him coming, they hurriedly retreated to the side, but they still stared at those criminal department officers, and put on the intention of protecting their own adults.

And He Chang, who was on the other side, was also nervous after seeing Lu Jin. He already knew the name that the other party had made in the DPRK over the years, and his current identity was not something that he could suppress as a small head of the criminal department.

However, at this time and that time, now that he has made a big mistake, he can't be suppressed by him in terms of momentum! After encouraging himself, He Changcai greeted Lu Jin, and said with a half-smile: "Lord Lu is really majestic, and he is so righteous even when he commits a crime, which is disrespectful." ”

"Your Excellency?" Lu Zhen didn't answer the other party's words, just looked him up and down a few times, and asked in a condescending manner.

He Chang, who wanted to argue with Lu Jin, was stunned for a moment, as if a punch with all his strength had fallen on the cotton, which was really unspeakably uncomfortable. Subsequently, he also understood that this was Lu Jin's contempt for him, thinking that he was not qualified to talk to him at all, which made He Zhushi even more annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't come out. He could only say his official position and intention again dryly, and then looked at Lu Zhen provocatively: "Governor Lu, this is His Majesty's personal will, you don't want to resist the will like others like that, right?" "If he really dares to resist the order, he will have a reason to lead someone to do it, even if he is not an opponent, as soon as the matter is big, it will be even more difficult for Lu Zhen and Jinyiwei to deal with themselves.

Lu Zhen narrowed his eyes, glanced at the other party several times, and then said: "Since it is His Majesty's will, and this official has a clear conscience, how can he resist the decree and not go back with you?" ”

"Governor!" As soon as he said this, the subordinates of the Jinyi Guards on the side were in a hurry, especially Xue Xing, who shouted forward: "If you go to the Criminal Department with them, the matter will not be clear...... They will not do you justice to your ......"

"Yes, Du Du, the Criminal Department has suffered losses in many battles with us before, and this time it will definitely take the opportunity to your disadvantage!" Some of the others chimed in, completely ignoring how ugly the faces of those in front of them had become.

Listening to their words of concern, looking at their eyes that genuinely cared about him, Lu Jin's heart was moved. It is said that the people of Jinyiwei are cold-blooded and ruthless, but as long as you get along, you can know that in fact, these people are far more emotional than many sanctimonious civil officials.

However, he had to live up to everyone's kindness, so he turned his face blank: "Don't say more, do you want this official to be recognized by His Majesty as a prisoner in this matter?" Isn't it just a trip to the criminal department to explain the matter, what's so scary? You're all gone, what are you going to do? ”

Seeing him speak like this, Xue Xing and the others didn't dare to insist, so they could only lower their heads and say yes, but everyone didn't move, still looking at Lu Zhen with some uneasiness.

"Master Lu, then come with us." When He Chang saw him say this, his heart was relieved and a little disappointed.

Lu Zhen nodded, and wanted to follow them away. Fortunately, the other party didn't dare to humiliate himself with things like shackles, which made him feel a little relieved.

But as soon as he moved, those subordinates followed again, and it seemed that this posture was going to accompany him to the criminal department. This made Lu Zhen a little unhappy under the emotion, and hurriedly stopped, waved at them and said, "Don't you all follow, can the Criminal Department still eat me?" ”

"But the governor ......," the crowd looked at him with some unease.

"You have your own things to do, and don't forget what I told you to do. Also, when Yang Yan comes back, he will preside over the situation for the time being. After saying this, Lu Zhen walked forward without looking back, and the others didn't dare to follow this time......

It's just that this scene fell into the eyes of the onlookers, but it confirmed the statement that the big man of Jinyiwei committed a crime and was arrested by the Criminal Department.
