Soon after Lu Zhen said goodbye and left, Zhao Keyuan came to see Kang Sichuan again, his eyes were bloodshot at this time, it was the result of a sleepless night and some thoughts: "My lord, those people in the Cao Gang have been properly settled." ”

"Hmm." Kang Sichuan nodded in agreement, but did not ask where the other party had placed the person. In fact, he also knew that Zhao Keyuan would not send people to prison, so he had greeted Li Yanjiu and them earlier, and this time he just asked them to cooperate with the acting. As soon as Gonggong Huo is rescued safely, then they will naturally be free, and they will be able to receive a credit from the government.

"Tell me, what's next?" After taking a sip of tea, Kang Zhifu asked again.

Before coming to see his boss, Zhao Keyuan already had a complete plan, and said at this moment: "As Mr. Lu proposed before, let's just let those chaotic people on the river believe that the government will make decisions for them and severely punish everyone in the Cao Gang." Now that the people have been brought, it is almost time to send someone to contact them and ask them to hand over Huo's father-in-law, or go ashore to hear the trial. ”

Kang Sichuan pondered for a moment, and nodded as well, "This is indeed the way it should be, but it's still early." How can we wait until after noon for our people to pass, otherwise how can we trust them? ”

"My lord is thoughtful, but the officials are negligent." Zhao Keyuan turned around and hurriedly flattered.

"As for now, it is only right to send more people out of the yamen and carefully search for the traces of the relevant people of the Yan family. Dare to collude with the White Lotus Sect, this official will definitely not spare them! When the Yan family was mentioned, Kang Sichuan's eyes suddenly had a fierce light shining through.

In fact, he and the Yan family didn't have any holidays, but because of the previous private salt incident, it pushed the Kang Zhifu to the opposite side of the Yan family. Although no relevant evidence was found from the other party's ship that day, the two sides had obviously torn their faces, and as long as Governor Kang was in office, they would definitely try their best to suppress and deal with the Yan family.

This is also one of the important reasons why Yan Yuqi finally took a risk this time and agreed to join hands with the people of the White Lotus Sect. Because only by making such a major event as the murder of Qian could Kang Sichuan, the prefect, escape the responsibility and finally be dismissed and leave Suzhou.

It's a pity that their wishful thinking didn't start in the end, but instead made things even more chaotic.

After hearing his instructions and seeing the hateful gaze, Zhao Keyuan's heart was pinched, and he quickly dispelled the original idea of asking for a favor for the Yan family, just agreed in a low voice, and went to make relevant arrangements.

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of this subordinate just now, and the back of leaving in a hurry now, Kang Sichuan couldn't help but show a meaningful smile. Just because he doesn't say something doesn't mean he doesn't know. Zhao Keyuan, the Cao Gang, and the close relationship with the Yan family have never been a secret to him.

Including the turmoil half a year ago, the truth of which Kang Sichuan also found out earlier. It's just that compared to Yue Nanxing, who has become a mourning dog, the powerful Cao Gang is of greater use to him, so with the help of the people in the government, he will push the boat down the river and no longer investigate deeply.

But if these people really think that they can hide everything from themselves, they are very wrong. Just now, he hid the meaning of beating to remind Zhao Keyuan. He can turn a blind eye to the affairs of the Cao Gang, but the Yan family, this time it must be uprooted, this is the bottom line of his Kang Governor's Mansion!

@@@@@

After noon, Lu Zhen walked into the house a little tired.

In the courtyard, Lin Lie was sitting upright on the stone bench, looking vigilant, until he saw Lu Zhen come in, he stood up happily and stepped forward to salute: "My lord, you are finally back." ”

So far last night, there was really some chaos in the city, and Lu Zhen and they were not there, which made the family panic. Therefore, Lin Lie could only sit back and stay in the courtyard all the time, beware of any bad changes. At this point, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Zhen stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder lightly. At this time, a door also opened, and the two pairs of concerned eyes had all fallen on Lu Jin's body: "Lu Lang, you are back, you are not hurt, are you?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a little trouble, and it has been quelled by the government." Lu Zhen greeted him with a smile: "I let you worry." ”

Hearing this, Yun Yan just pursed her lips and smiled, but two red clouds flew up on Chu Yunrong's face. Although she has accepted her current identity, she still has some shyness. Especially when Lu Zhen came over, her two hands wrapped around her and Yun Yan's slender waists at the same time, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

But then Lu Jin's words distracted her again: "By the way, is there anything to eat at home?" I haven't eaten since last night. ”

"Huh? Why didn't you say it earlier? Cui Mei, go and prepare some food. Chu Yunrong was a little distressed when he heard this, and quickly turned his head and said to the maid who came out of the room on the side.

And Yun Yan also hurriedly gave Qingwu a look, and the latter hurriedly followed Cui Mei to the kitchen, and after a while, there was a sound of pots and pans clinking in the kitchen, and the two women were already busy.

In the courtyard, Lin Lie grabbed Qinggele and asked him about what had happened in the past half day and night, and in the house, the two women also asked similar questions about Lu Jin. Lu Jin briefly talked about the changes on the dock, and did not mention that he was attacked by the people of the White Lotus Sect and almost lost his life under the other party's knife, only saying that everything was already under the control of the government, and after a while, Suzhou would be able to return to its original appearance.

Yun Yan didn't have any opinion on this, but Chu Yunrong heard some perfunctory. However, since Lu Zhen came back safely, and he didn't want to go into details, he didn't interrogate him more.

It's just that when he heard that this matter was actually masterminded by the Yan family, Chu Yunrong still showed a look of surprise: "How is this possible, how could my two cousins actually do such a thing of robbing the family and killing their heads?" ”

"As the saying goes, they know people and faces, they don't know their hearts, they are too greedy and ask too much, so they will be fascinated by profits, but they don't even think about the consequences." Lu Zhen said with a sigh, and then comforted: "But don't worry, the government will not wronged innocent people, nor will it involve father-in-law and mother-in-law." If they are really involved, I believe that with the little credit I have made before, I can also exonerate them. ”

Hearing him say this, although he was less worried, Chu Yunrong was still worried. After all, Yan Yuqi is their own relatives, and now there is such an accident. Moreover, with her ice and snow intelligence, it was obvious that there was also Lu Jin's force behind it, and all of this was probably because of herself, which made Chu Yunrong's heart even more uneasy.

But before she could say anything more, Cui Mei and Qingwu brought in the steaming meal. But it's a big bowl of noodles and a few delicate side dishes. Lu Jin was not in a hurry to eat, but asked: "Qinggele and Brother Lin, do they have any food?" ”

"Don't worry, sir, we have prepared the same food for them, just like you. I'm going to serve it to them. Cui Mei hurriedly said. After a few years of experience, the little girl is much more shrewd and calm than before.

Lu Zhen picked up the chopsticks in front of him, lowered his head and snorted and began to eat. He was indeed very hungry, he didn't realize it because of something before, but now that his mind was thrown aside, the hunger quickly came up, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

Outside, the same sound of eating noodles soon came, and several women couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle, and at the same time they felt a little sorry for their men. In this way, Chu Yunrong didn't talk to Lu Jin about the Yan family anymore, and just wanted his husband to rest for a while after eating.

It's a pity that this wish of hers has not been realized. Just when Lu Zhen finished eating and was about to lie down on the bed to make up for sleep, a greeting came from outside the courtyard gate: "Is Mr. Lu at home?" ”

Lin Lie and Qinggele, who were guarding the courtyard, recognized this as an errand officer in the yamen, so they let people into the gate first, and then went to report it. In fact, they didn't need to report it, Lu Zhen had already stood up when he heard the sound, and after seeing this, he said with some confusion: "You were sent by the Kang Governor's Mansion?" ”

"Exactly. My lord is waiting for my husband to go back and discuss important matters. I heard that it was the canal and something happened there. The officer nodded and said.

Originally, Lu Jin's reputation in the yamen was not low, but after last night's incident, his status has improved to a certain extent, so the attitude of these guys who are used to looking at people's faces has become more and more respectful.

But even so, the two women frowned unhappily. My husband has just returned home, and he hasn't rested yet, but he was summoned back again, this master has done too hard.

Lu Zhen saw their dissatisfaction, and hurriedly laughed and comforted: "Cannibalism should be a matter of loyalty. Since you are a staff member, you should do it with all your heart. Sit at home, and I will go and come back. ”

"But Lu Lang ......" Chu Yunrong still wanted to say something with some worry, even Yun Yan also showed a reluctant look.

But in the end, she couldn't get her words out of her way. Because Lu Jin had already waved his hand to stop her: "It's about the safety of Suzhou City, as well as the life and death of many innocent people, what is it for me Lu Jin to work hard?" ”

Hearing him speak so righteously and strictly, Chu Yunrong could only sigh and keep silent. I even have some pride in my heart, this is the husband I value, a good man who can really be loyal to the country and do his best for the people!

After appeasing the two daughters for a few words, Lu Zhen called Lin Lie and asked him to go back to the yamen with him. And at home, it was left to Qingler to guard......
