『Chapter error, click here to report』

Xia Weiqiu's decision is undoubtedly quite correct, because this incident has been quickly known by the Jinyi Wei who was placed in Lijin County, and quickly sent the news directly to Jinan through his own channels. Vertex updates are the fastest

After learning this information the next day, Qu Gongliang was even more furious, this is someone slapping Jinyiwei's face, how can he endure it? Don't look at the fact that Jin Yiwei has always been quite low-key because of being implicated by Wang Zhen's party members, but as an existence that has always been taboo by the Ming officials and people, it is naturally impossible to accept that such a thing happened to him.

In a fit of rage, he immediately sent a hundred horsemen straight to Lizin, vowing to dig up the murderer who dared to kill his spies.

As soon as Jinyiwei moved, it was quickly known to several other yamen in Jinan, and the subsequent murder in Lijin was also reported, which made a local official also nervous and entangled. On the premise that they couldn't see through the inside story of the case at all, they didn't even go directly to see Qu Gongliang to interfere, after all, they were famous this time.

But they also know one thing, once these Tiqi of the Jinyi Guard make something happen in Lijin, it will be them who are unlucky in the end. In such a difficult situation, the only way they could think of was to ask for help from the governor Lord Lu, after all, he was the identity of the Qincha, and the deputy envoy of the Qincha who came with him was also Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and it was always more certain for him to come forward and say something.

When Lu Zhen met with He Yuan and Zhou Chaoxian, who were suffering from their faces, and learned the cause and effect of the incident from their mouths, it was already another morning, and maybe the people of Jinyiwei had already begun to attack in the local area.

After listening to their stories, Lu Zhen also frowned deeply: "There is such a thing? In other words, a Jinyi guard who went to Lijin County at the behest of this official was killed in the local area? ”

"That's right, I hope that the adults can think of the people and come forward to stop the behavior of the Jinyi Guard. If they really let them vent their anger, I am afraid that the local people of Lijin will suffer. He Yuan pleaded worriedly, and Zhou Chaoxian, who was beside him, also looked at Lu Zhen in general, hoping that he would come forward.

"This matter really can't be negligent, as the governor of Shandong, this official will definitely make decisions for the people." Lu Zhen immediately agreed: "Don't worry, I'll let Yang Qianhu go to see Qu Qianhu and ask him to restrain his subordinates." ”

"Thank you, you can rest assured." Zhou Chao hurriedly bowed his hand first.

"Yes, now in Shandong, the only one who can stop Jinyiwei is you, the governor." He Yuan also said a few good words.

In this regard, Lu Zhen did not take it too seriously, but took the opportunity to inquire about the opening of the port, and in the case of asking him, the two officials naturally chose to say something, and only said that when the location of the port was confirmed, they would mobilize the people to break ground.

In this regard, Lu Zhen naturally has no other say. In fact, he already had a suitable choice in his heart, that is, the Weihai area. Because later history tells him that even foreign invaders chose it when choosing a treaty port, which means that this place is indeed suitable for building a port to go to sea. However, all this can only be carried out at least after he has really established himself in Shandong officialdom, otherwise everything is false.

And the murder that happened in Lijin is obviously a good starting point.

"Your Excellency wants to go to Lijin to check it out in person?" When he learned everything from Lu Zhen and agreed to come forward to talk to Qu Gongliang, Yang Zhen got such a decision from the other party, and he was suddenly a little surprised.

"What? Is there anything wrong? ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that there's a bit of a fuss." Yang Zhen explained: "As long as I come forward with my humble position, I can't help but give me this face." And this is just an ordinary murder case, and your lordship is the governor of a province, so it is always strange to ask such a question. ”

"I don't see it that way." Lu Zhen immediately said solemnly: "It's not that I can't trust Yang Qianhu's face, but the case itself is full of strangeness." Judging from the situation reported by the Lijin County Order, the Jin Yiwei who was killed should have turned around a few days ago. But why did he die there? Don't you think it's weird? ”

What he said also made Yang Zhen wonder in his heart: "Yes, according to reason, he should go back to Jinan immediately, but what is the reason for him to stay in Lijin?" ”

"Not only did he stay, but he also had conflicts with people, even to the point of not dying." Lu Zhen said with a solemn expression: "Even if it is an ordinary captain in brocade clothes, he also has a martial arts, and even three or five people in the idle village may not be his opponent." And now, he was actually killed, and the murderer was either a sneak attack, or he had more skilled martial arts than him, no matter which one he was, it was worth investigating. ”

"I understand that this matter is indeed very strange, and it is likely to be related to this major event of opening the sea." Yang Zhen immediately understood. It turned out that what Lu Zhen was worried about was that this murder case was actually for his own plan, and it was someone who killed Jinyiwei in order to obstruct the opening of the port!

If this is the case, Lu Jin, as the leader and advocate of this matter, naturally wants to dig out the murderer and even the mastermind behind it.

However, because there is no definite conclusion on the matter, Lu Zhen didn't want to cause too much movement, so he rushed to Lijin County this time and did not put up the battle of the governor of Qincha, but just drove lightly, and brought no more than ten people, so he quietly left Xingyuan in disguise and went out of Jinan City.

Externally, it was claimed that the governor was in poor health and did not see any outsiders for the time being. Anyway, now those eyeliners in the garden have long been cleared, so the news of his departure from Jinan is not known to the city officials, and the others are naturally even more unclear.

Although the weather was still cloudy and rainy, and the trip was somewhat delayed, Lu Jin's party of more than ten people still came to this small coastal county under the jurisdiction of Jinan Prefecture after more than a day of travel.

For this small city at the mouth of the Yellow River, Lu Zhen had the idea of coming to see it before crossing it, but he couldn't make the trip. Unexpectedly, after traveling through hundreds of years of time and space, his wish was fulfilled in such a way.

It's just that when he saw this small county town, which was not much bigger than Guangling at the beginning, Lu Zhen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, because this was really a little different from the Lijin he had imagined in the past. But then, I was relieved to think that this was a small county town in the Ming Dynasty that had been closed to the sea for more than a hundred years.

Just as they were walking along the not very wide official road towards the city gate in front of them, suddenly a group of soap-clothed men armed with rods and spears came in front of them, blocking their way: "Who are you, why did you come to my Lijin office?" ”

"What are you doing here? This road is not your home, why are you blocking it? The one who led the way in front was also the person in the brocade guard, so he naturally didn't take these soaps in his eyes, and asked angrily.

"Be bold, we were ordered to patrol all places outside the city and arrest the murderers, I see that you people are sneaky, but they look like thieves!" The messenger who was the leader was immediately annoyed, and with a wave of his hand, he wanted to lead the crowd to come forward and take the man.

"Wait!" Seeing that the two sides were about to make a move because of a disagreement, Lu Zhen hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it, and at the same time glanced at Yang Zhen.

The latter understood, so he stepped up to the messenger and said, "What are we, you can see this by looking at this." As he spoke, he showed his brocade shirt and waist card and shook it in front of him.

The other party only glanced at it, and his expression changed completely, and he knelt in the mud as soon as his legs were weak, and he screamed like a pig in his mouth: "The adult spares his life, the little one is really blind, he actually has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and the adult spares ......his life," he said, and kowtowed.

Seeing this, the errand officers who were still imposing were stunned for a moment, and then they also understood, and immediately knelt down nervously, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Their reaction also surprised Lu Jin, and it took a while for someone to step forward and say, "That's it, you all get up and speak." ”

These people are accustomed to observing words and feelings, and only then can they relax when they hear that there is no anger in each other's words. However, they still kowtowed a few more times, and after thanking them, they got up from the ground in embarrassment.

At this time, Lu Jincai glanced at the man at the head a little strangely: "I can't see it, you are still literate as a yamen officer, and you can recognize the origin of this waist card." At this time, the errand people were similar to ordinary people, and few were literate.

This person has already seen that Lu Zhen is the one with the highest status among these people, and naturally he didn't dare not answer this question, so he smiled and said: "This adult has praised it falsely, but in fact, the little one is illiterate." So I can recognize the identity of the adult, it's really because two days ago, I just saw someone with the same waist card to see our lord, and even the lord was respectful to several adults. ”

"Oh? What about them? Can you go back? Lu Zhen understood at that time that he was referring to the Jinyi Wei who came to Jinan to investigate the murder, so he asked again.

"How is that possible? The little one was ordered by those adults to brave the rain to look for murderers and clues outside the city......" The man hurriedly said with a smile, but this smile looked quite bitter.

Lu Zhen glanced at Yang Zhen and let out a sigh in his mouth. The latter also frowned slightly, it seemed that Qu Gongliang's people did not listen to their wishes. And judging from the other party's reaction when he saw Jinyiwei like a mouse seeing a cat, I am afraid that now the county government and even the entire county seat of Lijin have been tossed by them.

However, Lu Jin and the others also understood that this was not the time to pursue these things, so they just said to the man: "In this case, you take us into the county seat, and we are also here for this case." ”

The man immediately agreed, of course, it was better to take these adults back than to continue to look for clues about what the ghost knew in the rain outside the city......
