Regarding Du Qiu's matter, Lu Zhen actually felt quite strange in his heart. Although the momentum of Jinyiwei is now very weak, and they no longer dare to be as careless as before, they are also the identity of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, even if someone really commits a crime, they will not be scared to leave Jinan and hide.

It's just that because he needed to solve the problem on the river embankment at that time, Lu Jinfeng didn't spare his hand to investigate it carefully, so he didn't bother to ask. Now that Ma Decai took the initiative to mention it, he simply asked.

"This ......" Ma Decai hesitated slightly, obviously a little embarrassed, but when he thought of Lu Jin's means and identity, and now he had a request for others, he didn't dare to hide it, so he said: "If it is an ordinary thing, it is not difficult for my Jinyiwei to protect a brother of his own." But Lao Du provoked the people of the Confucian Mansion this time, so even Qu Qianhu didn't dare to speak for him, so he could only arrange to send him out of Jinan to hide. ”

"Is that so?" Lu Zhen was also stunned when he heard this, and then his eyebrows raised: "Why did he offend the Confucian Mansion?" Tell me more about it. ”

"My lord forgives the sin, this humble position is unknown, only Qu Qianhu and himself know what happened." Ma Decai said with some embarrassment.

"Oh? Then let him make it clear to the official himself, if he can help, the official will definitely help him. After Lu Jin knew that this matter was related to the Kong family, he had other thoughts in his heart. He didn't look like a swaggering person, if he just bullied ordinary people, but for the Confucian Mansion, there were really some ways to do it.

Ma Decai saw that Lu Zhen was really interested in this, and he was pleasantly surprised, so he hurriedly called his brother and asked them to summon Du Qiu, who came together, to him, and he explained the words to Lu Jin in person.

Du Qiu, who was full of worries and apprehensions, thought that he would be convicted when he returned to Jinan this time, but he heard that Lu Zhen wanted to talk to him, which made him have a trace of anticipation in the accident. Without much hesitation, he quickly caught up and said, "I hope that the adults will make decisions for the little ones." ”

"So, you feel like you've been injustice?" When Lu Zhen asked this sentence, he always felt a little awkward. This guy in front of him is Jinyiwei, in the past, only they bullied the weak, and there was no way to complain, how could there be a time when Jinyiwei asked for help.

Du Chua hesitated slightly, but finally gritted his teeth and told him what had happened to him-

It turned out that, as Lu Zhen judged, although this Du Qiu was in Jinyiwei, he was a low-key and quiet person, and he rarely had a grudge against others, let alone done anything bad. However, he has always been meticulous and thoughtful, and he is diligent and hardworking, so he has won the trust of thousands of households.

But just half a year ago, something happened that made him unbearable. As a native of Shandong, although his parents died early, he had a cousin in Qufu, and he had already made a marriage with his cousin many years ago.

Originally, at the beginning of this year, he planned to go to Qufu to propose marriage, but before anyone could rush over, a bad news came back - his cousin to be married actually died!

Hearing this news, Du Qiu panicked at that time and hurriedly took leave and went to Qufu. And when he asked about the cause of his uncle's aunt and cousin's death, the two old men who lost their daughters were divided and did not dare to say anything.

This made him see that there was a big problem, so he used the identity of Jinyiwei to conduct a secret investigation, and then found out some clues. It turned out that his cousin was actually snatched into the house by a subordinate of the Kong family shortly after he came out!

Although the Kong family tried their best to hide this fact, Jin Yiwei's eyeliner was much more powerful than he imagined, so it only took him three days to know the identity of that person. Then he found an opportunity to take it down, intending to interrogate him.

But as a result, before he could be tortured, this Confucian family member suddenly died on the spot. And just when Du Qiu was caught off guard, the place where he was secretly detained and interrogated was knocked on the door, and he really came to get the stolen goods!

The local government completely ignored his identity as a Jinyiwei, and directly took him down and threw him into prison. If Qu Gongliang hadn't gotten the news and forcibly sent someone to take him out of prison, I was afraid that he would have been beheaded at this time.

But the matter did not end there, and then the Kong family used his position to frequently exert pressure on the officials of various yamen in Shandong, forcing them to follow the Jinyi Guard. And with definite evidence and witnesses, and under the collective pressure of the officials of the large and small yamen in Shandong, even Qu Gongliang was a little unbearable. After all, today's Jinyiwei is no longer the original, he has to hold his tail between his legs on weekdays, but he doesn't dare to be the enemy of everyone.

In desperation, in order to protect Du Qiu, Qu Gongliang had to use a trick Li Dai Taozhuang, exchanged the lives of his subordinates with a prisoner locked in the dungeon of his Qianhu, and secretly sent him to Lijin County to hide......

After listening to Du Qiu's story, Lu Zhen was not surprised: "I can't imagine that there are such twists and turns in this matter." In this way, everything is caused by the Kong family? ”

"Exactly. But the man's death was so strange that I could have asked him the truth about my cousin's death, but he died suddenly. Duqiu couldn't help but bow his head and sigh.

"If what you say is true, it's a strange thing. Are you sure that he has not been tortured, and that he did not die under the torture of your brocade guards? Lu Zhen looked at the other party deeply again.

"The little ones don't dare to hide it from the adults, that's the way it is. At that time, I only scared him twice, but before I could do anything, he suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground and convulsed. When I stepped forward again, I found that he was dead. ”

"Do you know why he died?" Lu Zhen asked with a serious expression.

"Before the small ones had time to take a closer look, many yamen officials broke in, and then I was taken down by them, and I didn't care about anything else."

Lu Jin's face showed a playful look: "It's really just right, as soon as the person dies, they arrive." As long as what the other party says is true, then there must be a big article behind this matter.

"Please also ask the adults to be the masters of the little ones, and the cousins of the villains to be the masters...... said this, Du Qiu knelt down again and kowtowed to Lu Zhen frequently.

Lu Zhen didn't bend down to help him, but said after groaning: "This matter has been taken by the official." But the stakes are high, and even I can't look it up at will. In this case, you will go back to Lijin for a while, and when you find an opportunity, the official will call someone back to confront you, what do you think? ”

"Everything is at your command!" Du Qiu nodded hurriedly. In fact, he really had no other choice but to listen.

So, after such a short episode, Lu Zhen continued to lead people back to Jinan, while Du Qiu returned to Lijin County and continued to hide.

@@@@@

In Jinan City, still in the same house, Xue Xin paced back and forth in the hall with some uneasiness, and there were words in his mouth: "It's been almost seven or eight days late, why is there still no movement in Lijin County?" Have you sent someone over there to find out the news? ”

Beside him, there were several White Lotus Sect disciples standing, and when they heard the inquiry at this time, one of them immediately replied cautiously: "There has been news coming back before, saying that there are people from the Jinyi Guard there, so they don't dare to do it. ”

"Hmph...... Jinyiwei! A group of guys who can't protect themselves dare to ruin my good deeds. Xue Xin muttered with indignation on his face, and then said strangely: "Then why did Jinyiwei run over there without anything?" Could it be that they smell something? ”

"I don't know." Several people shook their heads: "At that time, there was a lot of noise in Nalijin County, and our people didn't dare to stay too long, in case they were taken away by the people of Jinyiwei." ”

"A bunch of rubbish, you can't do such a trivial thing. And that Wu Zhongnian, because I value him so much, the result actually disappointed me! Xue Xin looked quite dissatisfied and anxious. Because of this incident, he will definitely be able to make a package ticket in front of the young master, and if he can't do it now, it's hard to explain.

"Master Xiang, everything has been arranged here in Jinan. But if this heavy rain suddenly stops and the water is shallow, it will be a little difficult for us to succeed again. One of his subordinates reminded me worriedly.

These words also made Xue Xin even more irritable, and he couldn't help glaring at the other party: "What does it mean according to your meaning?" ”

"In my opinion, we might as well do it right here. Otherwise, the longer it drags on, the more likely it is that something will happen. The man had his own opinion, and gave an explanation when asked.

This proposal also fits Xue Xin's spleen, he is really anxious to make this great achievement. Although there are some problems with this, such as the fact that the lack of civil unrest in Lijin to divert the Jinan army will make their actions more dangerous, if they continue to do this, the great opportunity will be missed.

Shandong has always been quite smooth, except for this rainstorm, there is really no chance for them to get into trouble. Xue Xin really didn't want to go on like this anymore, otherwise he wouldn't have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to find an opportunity. Moreover, he had boasted in front of many parishioners before, if he couldn't make any moves in the end, he would inevitably be looked down upon, how could he gain a foothold in the church in the future?

After such a weighing and thinking, Xue Xin finally gritted his teeth and made a final decision: "I can't wait." If you want to achieve great things, you can't look ahead and backward. Since Wu Zhongnian can't be trusted, we rely on ourselves. As long as the flood lasts for a lifetime, those officers and soldiers can only protect themselves and cannot really pose any threat to us. In this way, you quickly split up and contacted, and three days later, we will open the embankment and let the water of the Yellow River flood into Jinan! ”
