Once he made up his mind, Lu Zhen had already swept away his previous depression and began to put all his thoughts on how to convince the Suzhou prefect and other officials to use it for his own use and attack the Yan family.

This is not easy to say, but it is not too difficult to say.

For ordinary people, the Yan family, which eats both black and white, is naturally an unattainable existence, and no one dares to deal with their ideas at all. But in Lu Jin's view, this is just a bluffing appearance, in the final analysis, the Yan family only relies on the care of the government to get to where it is today, once the government wants to take him under the knife, with the low status of the businessman today, there is not much room to fight back.

The Yan family is still very different from the four major families such as Xie Chang in Hangzhou. In addition to the income from business, the four families also had a wide range of fertile land, which was a combination of landlords and merchants. And this Yan family, I don't know what considerations are, actually only worked hard in business, but did not buy much land. In this way, he will have less control over the government, and the government will not have too many worries if it wants to attack him.

Of course, with the Yan family's family background and the friendship with the Cao Gang and the government, it is like a dream for ordinary people to use the power of the government to deal with them. That's where it's hardest. But Lu Zhen has a certain degree of certainty, just because he was a court official.

As long as he pointed out that he could send the letter directly to the hands of a certain adult in the capital, Lu Zhen was sure that this Suzhou official would definitely make concessions and sacrifice the Yan family for his own safety.

"It's just that when I go to meet those officials, I have to think carefully about how to speak, but I can't offend them too much, it will only bring unnecessary trouble to myself." Lu Zhen pondered intently, and from time to time he looked up at the sky, looked down at the ground, and looked serious.

All this fell into Yun Yan's eyes, and she looked at the man in front of her so obsessively, feeling that his appearance was even more fascinating than when he played music and wrote poems before. For her, this kind of man who puts his mind on business is the most attractive. This may also be the key to her being known as an Oiran, but she has never entrusted her body.

One of them paced and pondered in the courtyard, and the other sat at the window of the house and watched quietly, the sun shining overhead, making the small courtyard have a unique beauty of movement. This made Qingwu dare not make a sound, but looked at the pair of men and women a little strangely.

Suddenly, a rhythmic knock on the door interrupted their movements and thoughts. Lu Zhen turned around a little unexpectedly, came to the gate of the courtyard, and guessed who the visitor would be at this time.

I've been staying here for a few days, but no one has ever visited. And with the recent rumors flying all over the city, it is even more unlikely that anyone will come to the door. Who will come?

Yun Yan also woke up at this time, and quickly asked Qingwu to lower the curtain and retreat into the house. She knew very well how much the rumors outside bothered Lu Jin, and if an outsider came in and saw her, she was afraid that there would be some rumors about it.

Of course, Yun Yan, who made this move, was still full of bad feelings. Now that he and Lu Zhen already have that relationship, but they still have to hide, I don't know when I will be able to tell my identity openly. Even if it's just a concubine......

But there is one thing she also knows, Lu Zhen will definitely understand herself, the greater the grievances she suffers at this time, the more rewards she will get in the future.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, Lu Zhen saw a man in his forties, thin in appearance, and a calm bearing looking at him with a smile. After the two looked at each other, the man spoke: "Your Excellency, is it the former Beijing Daxing County Order, and the Hangzhou Prefecture has sentenced Lu Zhen and Lu Shansi?" ”

"It's under you, dare to ask what the honorable driver is?" Lu Zhen looked at the other party, and unconsciously muttered in his heart, this person is so clear about his resume, but what is the origin?

"Everyone is a scholar, why don't you invite me in first and then ask what is going on?" The man just smiled, but he didn't rush to reveal his identity.

Seeing that he only brought a servant who looked quite wooden, Lu Zhen was not afraid that the other party would be unfavorable to him, so he smiled: "If you are rude, don't be surprised by Wangzun." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

The man stepped into the courtyard, but glanced at his servant, and the man immediately turned back and stood guard before the courtyard gate. Obviously, he wanted to talk to Lu Zhen alone.

There was a stone table and a few stone benches in the courtyard, and Lu Zhen invited the people to sit down at the table. Before he could speak, Qingwu had already brought over a tray with a pot of fragrant tea and two porcelain cups on the plate. Obviously, Yun Yan had already prepared for him to entertain guests.

Lu Zhen took the tray, nodded his head to show his gratitude, and then filled a cup of tea for the other party and himself. After seeing the person who came drink a sip of tea and moistened his throat, Fang Cai smiled and said, "Now you can explain your identity and intention, right?" ”

"Brother Lu has been in officialdom for a long time, but hasn't this temperament been smoothed out?" This ridiculed and said as if he was taunting, and then he said with a solemn face: "I can't hide it, this official Kang Sichuan ......"

As soon as he heard the other party report his name, Lu Zhen was stunned, and then quickly stood up, bowed his hand and said: "It turned out that Lord Fuzun came to the cold house, and Lu Zhen was rude!" ”

This middle-aged man who suddenly visited was actually the prefect of Suzhou Mansion today. Although Lu Zhen has been here for a few days, Kang Sichuan's name is already well known.

In addition to being surprised, Lu Zhen was also a little puzzled, as a prefect, how could he come to see him with dignity? If he wants to say anything to himself, he just sends someone to summon him. Not to mention that he is no longer an official of the imperial court now, even if he is an official, there is a big gap between him and the other party in terms of rank.

Kang Sichuan seemed to see what Lu Zhen was thinking, so he smiled: "The official is here today to show my sincerity, and you don't have to be surprised or disturbed." "Okay, just a few words, I called Lu Jin's words, and the relationship between the two sides was brought closer.

Lu Zhen was even more curious because of his words: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Kang Sichuan didn't go around in circles anymore, but just fixed his eyes on Lu Jin's face, and said slowly: "This official deliberately wants to invite Shansi to join my mansion as a friend, I don't know what you think?" ”

After a pause, he said: "Your situation is also clear to the official, although you have been temporarily dismissed now, but maybe in a few days, you will be able to reinstate the official." Therefore, the official will not hinder your future, but let you temporarily help the official deal with some related matters in the yamen when you are free. I don't know if you're willing to nod your head? As for salaries, everything is easy to say. ”

Lu Zhen looked at the person in front of him a little stunned again, a little unable to believe that this was true. I just wanted to contact the prefect's yamen, and the other party actually came directly to the door, which is too much to think about.

Moreover, how can he be virtuous, he can actually let the prefect of Suzhou personally come to the door to solicit good words. Although this scene friend, or master, is indeed quite important to the official, but after all, he is young and has no experience in this area, how can the other party dare to make such a decision?

After a little silence, Lu Zhen still asked the question in his heart. In this regard, Kang Sichuan just smiled: "Think about the things you did in the capital, and the things you did for the local people in Hangzhou, this official knows something." Just by looking at those things, you can see that you are indeed superior in handling civil affairs. Since such a talent is under my rule in Suzhou, how can this official let it go? ”

"Your Excellency praised it. However, there is still a little bit of uncertainty below. Recently, rumors have been spreading in the city of Suzhou, always saying that the subordinates are misbehaving, dare to ask adults, so you are still willing to use me? Lu Jin simply spread out the topic and said.

"So that's what you care about. Although those rumors seem to be spread, in the eyes of this official, they are full of flaws. Especially when I see you today, I won't believe such a statement. Although you Lu Shansi are young, you are by no means a person who is faint, if this is the case, you will not make a great name in the capital and Hangzhou. ”

"Your Excellency's eyes are like torches, but ...... The reputation of the government is still tainted because of this, and if he is recruited by the government at this time, I am afraid that it will have an adverse effect on the government and the adults. Lu Zhen continued to say with some embarrassment.

Kang Sichuan laughed unconsciously, he understood that Lu Zhen was negotiating terms with himself. If you really want to use him, then you have to help him calm down the rumors, which is a problem and test that Lu Jin gave himself.

After a little silence, he nodded: "Think well, but please rest assured, since the rumors are true, my government will definitely not sit idly by." As long as you enter the yamen, this official will make decisions for you. And once the people know about it, they will know that you are not as bad as it is rumored. ”

The other party has said this part, and if Lu Jin refuses again, he will be too ignorant. So he raised the teacup and said, "Thank you for being so valued by your lords, how dare you disobey you." Today, I will replace the wine with tea, and I will first toast the adults, and in the future, I will ask the adults to take care of them. ”

"Good! Shansi is really a happy person, and the official will accompany you to drink this cup. Seeing that he agreed, Kang Sichuan was also happy, picked up the teacup, and the two drank the warming tea.

After the two discussed the salary again, and agreed on the date for Lu Zhen to go to the county government to perform his duties, Kang Sichuan happily resigned and left.

It wasn't until after he left that Yun Yan came out of the house and said with a smile on her face: "Concubine knows that Lu Lang's talent will definitely be appreciated." ”

"Really?" But in addition to a smile, Lu Jin's face also had a hint of doubt. He still couldn't believe that Kang Sichuan came to invite him in person just to value his own ability, and the other party must have other purposes that he didn't say.

But what the hell is this?
