A column of cavalry riding horses and swords suddenly rushed to the streets of the county town, which immediately frightened the merchants and people who were still buying and selling. Everywhere the people passed, some stalls were all knocked over and trampled, but no one dared to complain.

And seeing this group of people going straight to the county office, everyone was even more frightened, I don't know what happened, isn't it going to mutiny? Once this idea spread, the people turned around and ran back to their homes for refuge.

In just a moment, the area around Yaqian Street, which was still lively, was deserted, and there was not half a figure in sight except for the shattering of one place......

Xiao Mo didn't bother to pay attention to the disturbances in his team, he just wanted to settle accounts with Lu Jin, a bold guy. So when one of them rushed to the gate of the yamen, several messengers wanted to come forward to ask what was going on, they were immediately frightened by his murderous appearance, and finally let alone stop people, they didn't even dare to squeak, only two bold people rushed in front to report the news.

And in this way, the entire county government was immediately intimidated by the fierce appearance of these fierce soldiers, and no one dared to speak at all, so they actually let these dozens of soldiers drive straight in, broke into the second hall, and came to Lu Jin's public house.

At this time, the two messengers had just reported to Lu Zhen with some trembling: "Big ...... Great lord, in the city...... Xiao ...... of the garrison General Xiao led people to kill ...... It's ...... killed," but even a few words are a bit unreasonable.

However, judging from the situation in front of them, their report was also a little redundant, because before the words fell, Xiao Mo had already stepped into the room with a slam in the biting cold wind outside.

As soon as he entered the house, he didn't rush to speak, just swept his eyes everywhere, and then fixed his gaze on Lu Jin's face, as if he wanted to stare the person in front of him into two holes.

Although the two officers were only glanced at by him, they were so frightened that they couldn't even breathe, and their bodies trembled there, and they almost collapsed to the ground. This reaction naturally satisfied him in Xiao Mo's eyes, but Lu Zhen didn't seem to feel the surging momentum of the other party at all, and he still sat there leisurely, not even wanting to get up and salute, and even had a faint smile on his face.

The four pro-soldiers also followed Xiao Mo and stepped into the public house, and when they saw Lu Jin's appearance, one of them shouted: "Bold, seeing my general, dare to be so rude!" ”

Don't look at Lu Jin's calm and composed appearance on his face, in fact, his heart is also tightened, after all, the other party is moving the crowd and is violent. But he still withstood the heavy pressure, and in the face of the question, he asked rhetorically: "General? A general who dares to call himself a general? There was disdain in his tone.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Mo's expression became even more gloomy, and his hands were on the saber at his waist, and he almost drew the knife out of its sheath. Fortunately, he was still sober, so he suppressed the anger in his heart.

Although many people call him a general in private, Xiao Mo also understands in his heart that this is just a compliment. He is really nothing in the entire Datong Army, and the title of general or something is arrogant, so Lu Jin's refutation is not a problem.

But then Lu Jin's words almost made him angry: "Xiao Jiang, a military attache under the eighth grade, not only did he not give courtesy when he saw this official, but he was so presumptuous, but what did he mean?" "Well, they asked him to salute him in turn.

This is really the first time Xiao Mo has encountered such a thing, which of the previous Guangling County Commanders saw him like a grandson, and this guy's reaction was completely opposite? But if you really want to dig deeper, Lu Jin's statement is also tenable, the county order is the seventh grade, which is two levels higher than his general position.

This is also the situation that will only occur when the Ming military attache has not completely lost power, if it is put in a few years, when the status of the military general plummets, not to mention his general, that is, the thousand general of the six products will see the local county order, and they will also meet with their subordinates, and even bow down.

Now the civil and military forces in the Ming Dynasty are in a delicate balance period, but no one can overwhelm anyone. So if you really want to talk about it, you can only compare the grades. However, this is a border town, and it is precisely by relying on the military power in his hands that Xiao Mo dares to commit a crime and eat the Guangling County Order to death.

But he really couldn't get the upper hand in theory, and in the end Xiao Mo had to change the topic: "Lu Xianling is really leisurely." Our soldiers are always on the lookout for the front, but you sit here in peace, and when you see us coming, not only are you not grateful, but you tell me about the size of your rank. ”

Lu Zhen smiled again when he heard this: "Mr. Xiao's words are unacceptable to this official. There is a difference between the way of civil and military affairs. Your military generals are guarding the border and defending the country outside, and it is their respective duty for my civil officials to appease the people here, so how can you say that you are idle? ”

In terms of eloquence, Xiao Mo, a rough martial artist, was naturally not Lu Jin's opponent, and he quickly understood this, so he could only shut up hatefully. After eating these deflated fews, his momentum suddenly weakened.

thought that if he led people to threaten him, Lu Zhen would obediently obey and release people. But now, instead of letting the other party have the upper hand, Xiao Mo didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he could only sit on the chair with a huff, and then continue to stare at the other party with his eyes.

Lu Zhen looked like he was in a good place, and he seemed to have just done something insignificant. This scene fell into the eyes of the subordinates in the surrounding signing room, making them sweat and admire at the same time. Only then did they know how bold and high the means of their county lord were.

In fact, what they didn't know was that Lu Jin, who seemed to be calm, was already wet on his back at the moment, but he broke out in a lot of cold sweat because of nervousness.

When Xiao Mo brought people in in a menacing manner just now, he was really afraid that this guy would do it directly, and it would be difficult for him to deal with it. Fortunately, this person is not too simple-minded after all, and he also wants to rely on his momentum to overwhelm others, but he allows himself to fight back, thus gaining the upper hand in one fell swoop.

Of course, if someone else is here, I am afraid that Xiao Mo will be so frightened that he will not possess his body, so where will he have the courage to confront him? It is also because of Lu Jin's temperament tempered by life and death on the grassland that he dares to deal with such a threat one by one freely in the face of such a threat.

Seeing that he couldn't suppress Lu Jin, Xiao Mo finally gritted his teeth and said, "Lu County Order, you should know the purpose of my coming today." ”

"I want to hear about it." Lu Jin just replied lightly, looking unmoved.

Xiao Mo only felt that his heart was bored again, and he almost became angry again. It was easy to suppress this anger: "Don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, haven't you read the letter I sent before?" ”

"Oh? Do you mean that Zheng Fu's thing? Lu Zhen showed a look of sudden realization: "Didn't the official ask someone to tell General Xiao that Zheng Fu was charged with many crimes, and the county had decided to report it to the Datong Mansion for disposal, so this person must not be let go casually." ”

Hearing that Lu Zhen rejected Xiao Mo's request so directly, those guards suddenly showed anger on their faces, if the latter hadn't given them a look, they would have had a seizure a long time ago. But even so, these people were full of anger staring at the young county magistrate in front of them, and they hated to tear him apart.

But at this time, Lu Zhen had completely settled down, and he could see that Xiao Mo was just bluffing, so there was no need to be afraid of him.

"Then what if I must want to ask Lu County to order you to release people?" If it was because of the Zheng family's pleas and the benefits they promised that Xiao Mo decided to save people before, then now he is more for his own face.

It's a pity that Lu Zhen is still unmoved: "The law of the Ming Dynasty is in front of me, I don't dare to disobey it." ”

"Lu Jin, don't you don't know what to do." Xiao Mo finally couldn't hold it back, squinted his eyes, and stared at the other party very threateningly: "Don't you even want to sell this little face?" ”

"As I said, it is a matter of the law, and there is no accommodation." Lu Zhen shook his head without entering: "The evidence of his Zheng Fu's crime is conclusive, that is, the officials of the six ministries, and the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet are here, and I will not release him!" This was said loudly, and his gaze was even more unyielding to the other party, without the slightest hint of cringe!

"You!" This response made Xiao Mo's anger ignite suddenly, and he stood up suddenly, and his burly body had already stepped in front of Lu Zhen in just one step, only a table away from him.

The people in the yamen who peeked and eavesdropped outside the room were both admired and panicked, and it was really a big surprise that their own county order could have such a backbone.

Over the years, the people in the Yali of Guangling County have always avoided these garrisons, and as long as the other party made a request, they have not failed to do so. Although they couldn't see anything on the surface, in fact, they had already been holding back their anger in their hearts, and even because of this, they were very dissatisfied with Zheng Fu, who was helping to abuse him. This is also an important reason why after he was thrown into prison, the county government did not have any support, and it seemed very calm.

Today, Lu Zhen did something they had never dared to do, which made them feel very relieved, so they agreed with this county magistrate from the bottom of their hearts, and naturally they didn't want anything to happen to him.

But the situation inside changed abruptly with Lu Jin's words, which made everyone's hearts rise to their throats, and they were really afraid that there would be bloodshed.

Lin Lie, who was outside the door, was also nervous when he saw this, and immediately fell down, and wanted to jump into the door to save him. But as soon as he moved, the way was blocked by the more than 20 personal soldiers left by Xiao Mo outside, even if he had the ability to break through the defense line, it would take a lot of work for the sophomore.

At this time, Xiao Mo had already stared at Lu Zhen condescendingly, and asked in a calm tone: "Lu County Order, let me ask you again, people, do you let it go?" As he said this, he slowly drew the knife from his waist......
