Guangling County Ya Ertang.

As his name suggests, he looks quite happy, Qin Huan, who is in his forties and has a somewhat round figure, was looked at by several servants, and staggered to Lu Jin's public house.

Lu Jin had just returned to the yamen to change his clothes, and he had already ordered Qin Huan, who had hastily healed his injuries, to call over, which made the already nervous small businessman even more panicked.

Fortunately, this person's reaction was quite fast, and he knelt down in front of Lu Jin: "Little ...... The little Qin Huan visited the county lord, and the little one confessed ......"

Lu Zhen waved his hand to let the superfluous people retreat, leaving only the two of them to watch, and then looked at the person in front of him with a smile: "As soon as you meet, you say that you are guilty, but I don't know which crime you know?" ”

"Small...... The small one should not be interested in making money, and sold the goods to other guests, resulting in such a tragic incident, and I hope that the adults will forgive their sins! After finishing his words with some trembling, Qin Huan kowtowed vigorously again.

God is pitiful, these words really did not come from his heart, but now it is such a situation, the people of the yamen are injured, the sergeants stationed there are killed, and the entire field is also in chaos, and the root cause is all on himself, Qin Huan naturally has to choose the way to confess his guilt calmly in front of the county commander.

Although in this accident, he was actually also a victim, not only was the goods finally robbed, but he was almost stabbed, and now he is still injured. But the situation is like this, and I can only endure this breath. Who called him a businessman, and now under the great tomorrow, the businessmen of the four people of Shinong Industry and Commerce are at the end, and their status is too low, and it seems that they are the only ones who have to carry this black cauldron.

Thinking of this, Qin Huan and sorrow came from it, tears already flowed from his eyes, but he didn't dare to defend himself.

"You get up and talk first." Lu Zhen sighed lightly, he could see that the other party's words were just to give an explanation to himself, a court official.

"Master Xie." Qin Huan was slightly stunned, but he still stood up according to his words, only saying that his attitude of admitting his guilt was good, so that the county lord was more satisfied.

As soon as he got up, Lu Jin found that his left shoulder was still tied with a thick bandage, and it was obviously not lightly injured, so he frowned again: "Your injury is not in the way, right?" ”

"It's small, it's rough and thick, but it doesn't matter. It's just that those military masters and poor masters ......" Qin Huan is an interesting person, and he hurriedly took advantage of the situation to express his grief for those casualties, in order to build a better impression on the county lord.

Lu Zhen smiled, looking at this cautious and constantly stammering appearance, it was really a little pitiful and ridiculous. But that's what he wants, otherwise it's a little difficult to ask for more. Therefore, he did not interrupt his speech, and let him say some words of condolence before asking: "Since you know that what you are doing is wrong, why do you still do it on the field?" ”

"This ...... The little one doesn't know the tartar...... Where will the Namon people come back, otherwise they will definitely not sell the goods to others. By the time he came to me, I had made a deal with someone and could not repent. Qin Huan explained to himself a little hesitantly, but he was a little pale and weak.

Lu Zhen didn't believe these at all, but stared at the other party and said, "The official thinks that you have made this choice because of the profit-seeking nature of a businessman." Compared with the previous customer, the latter person gives a higher remuneration, so you sell the goods to the latter, is the official wrong? ”

"I ......" Qin Huan wanted to say something, but as soon as he raised his head and met Lu Jin's eyes, his heart was tight, and he immediately knelt on the ground again with a plop, and kowtowed again: "The villain is guilty, the villain did forget everything else because of a small profit at that time, which caused ...... As a result, ......" spoke, his forehead was already red, and his body was soaked with sweat, obviously frightened.

Lu Zhen sighed, the officials of this era are indeed majestic, and they can scare an adult man like this with just one sentence. Then he waved his hand and said, "That's it, let me ask you, where are you from?" ”

"The little one is from Pingyao County, Taiyuan Prefecture."

"What kind of goods did you bring here, and how much did it cost you?" Lu Zhen asked again.

Qin Huan replied honestly, his goods are not too expensive, mostly ordinary things such as iron pots and cloths, but as far as he said, he is not very wealthy, but he has raised foreign debts for this, in order to fight this handful and make a lot of money.

Thinking of these, Qin Huan felt even more helpless and sad, and tears flowed from his eyes while lowering his head, even if the government did not pursue it, he seemed to have lost his old capital this time, what should he do in the future? And judging from the current situation, how can the government not hold itself accountable?

Lu Zhen looked at him for a moment, and then spoke: "So, your loss this time is also very great?" Have you ever thought about how to redeem it? ”

"Small...... The little ...... said, "Qin Huan, Ai Ai couldn't say anything for a long time.

"This official knows that you have suffered a lot of grievances, and it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, you can't just put more money and wait for a Tatar who has asked for a price, otherwise you don't have to do any business." Lu Zhen suddenly changed the conversation and said kindly.

These words made Qin Huan stunned suddenly, and he didn't know how to reply for a while, and even subconsciously looked up at Lu County's order above, and he didn't care about any thoughts of humility.

"What? Is there anything wrong with what the official said? Seeing him like this, Lu Zhen asked again.

"Huh? No, the adults are wise, and they are talking about the small ones, the little ones...... The little one is really wronged this time! Qin Huan had already heard the meaning of defending himself in Lu Jin's words, but he was overjoyed and quickly agreed.

"However, after all, the people in my county government and the army have been killed and injured because of your affairs, you can't ignore them, right?" Lu Zhen said suddenly.

This conversion made Qin Huan fall back to the ground from the sky, and the whole person was stunned again. He couldn't guess how the Lu County Order in front of him was going to send him, so he could only stand there blankly.

Only then did Lu Zhen lead the conversation to the point he was most concerned about: "Qin Huan, do you know what the number of Tartars who caused the incident is?" How many of them are there and what are their characteristics? As he said this, his eyes were fixed on the other's face.

Qin Huan couldn't think deeply about things at this time, and subconsciously replied: "These Tartars listened to what they said about the Tho Tho Division, there are five people in total, and the person who is the leader looks like ...... He had a red birthmark on the left side of his face, and a pinch of black hair on it......"

The effect is really good, after hanging him up and down for a long time, Qin Huan finally told everything he knew. It wasn't until he finished speaking, his mood calmed down a little, and he seemed to think of something, and a look of panic appeared on his face: "Could it be that Lord Fei County Ling wants to ......"

If it was just a fight between ordinary businessmen, it would be a death, and Qin Huan would truthfully report the murderer to the government. But when it comes to tartars, the situation gets delicate. Many people will choose to settle the matter, only complaining about their bad luck, but not daring to tell the truth to the government. If Lu Zhen asked about the situation of those Mongolian people as soon as he came, Qin Huan would probably say that he didn't know. But because of some sorrow and joy and intimidation, his heart was completely confused, and as soon as he was forced to ask, he vomited everything clean like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Lu Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and added as if threatening: "As long as what you say is true, this official will make decisions for you." But if you hide something, the government will also investigate the relevant crimes. ”

"The little ones don't dare to deceive the adults." Qin Huan hurriedly said like a curse.

Lu Zhen waved his hand and asked someone to take him down to take care of it, and then he exhaled: "It's finally a bit eyebrow-raising." Come on, go and check what kind of road it is. ”

It didn't take much thought about this, and in just a few moments, a scribe brought the answer Lu Zhen wanted. This Tho tribe, located on the grassland not far from Guangling County, is considered to be the Mongolian tribe that has the most dealings with this county. So as soon as the field opened, they rushed to hear the news as soon as possible.

At the end, the scribe added with some hesitation: "Sir, as far as the little one knows, the Tho Ministry has always had some dealings with the barracks before......

"Is it them?" Lu Zhen smiled thoughtfully, it was an old acquaintance. Presumably, Xiao Mo smuggled military rations or something into the grassland without telling it, which was a deal with them. I think that this conflict is not only because of Qin Huan's sudden change of hexagram, but also because of the revenge on Guangling County, which broke off their business. So even if there is no Qin Huan, these Mongolian people will definitely find other excuses to disturb the scene.

Thinking about this, Lu Jin's expression became colder, and the anger in his eyes became stronger. He must fight back fiercely, otherwise he will definitely not live in peace in the future! This is not only for the sake of the dead and wounded, but also for the future of Guangling!

After making up his mind, Lu Zhen rushed to the barracks the next day, found the new garrison commander, and after expressing his apologies, proposed to borrow troops to deal with those Mongolians.

"This ...... I don't have the authority to transfer troops into the grasslands. Besides, with only 500 people, we have no chance of winning. When he heard this, he shook his head like a rattle.

Lu Zhen said: "You misunderstood what I meant, I didn't want to send troops to the grassland, but I hope to arrange for you to garrison the Yanchang side." The officer is confident that they will come again, and that they will be able to take them down and be held accountable. ”

"This ...... It makes it. "His subordinates were killed by the Tartars, and as a boss, he naturally had to stand up for them, and with such an opportunity in front of him, of course he had no reason to refuse. What's more, they are just warriors, they only fight, and if something happens, they will have their own magistrates.

Lu Zhen was also happy when he saw him nodding. Now, just wait for those guys to come to the door themselves.
