Lu Zhen did drink a few more drinks tonight, but he was only on the top, but he was not completely drunk, if you use an analogy, it is just enough to drink and have a mess. So when there was a sudden sound of fighting outside, he quickly came to his senses.

The scene of being assassinated that day was indeed terrifying, and it made Lu Zhen remember it deeply. Even if he is drunk at this moment, the drunken feeling will turn into a cold sweat under the nervousness, and the person will wake up completely. After discovering that there was only one person outside, and after being taken down by Lin Lie, he walked out to see what was going on, and then he also recognized Zhu Chang's identity.

After the three of them returned to the house and sat down, Lu Jin looked at the uninvited guest who came late at night strangely: "You said you came to me for help, what happened?" ”

"I ......" Zhu Chang hesitated for a moment, and then he mustered up the courage to say: "I also hope that my lord can save the lives of my Qingzhu Gang and Brother Lin in terms of the love of the day, as long as it happens, I Zhu Chang will repay this kindness!" As he spoke, he got up from his chair and knelt down again.

"This ...... Stand up and speak first, what the hell is going on? Lu Zhen was surprised, and hurriedly gave Lin Lie a look, signaling him to help people up.

Lin Lie hurriedly went over and barely helped the person up, and said curiously: "What happened to your Qingzhu Gang, why is it like this?" ”

They really don't know what happened to my Qingzhu Gang? Seeing the two of them like this, Zhu Chang's original suspicions also faded, but his heart did not subside, and he glanced at Lu Zhen with some concern: "This matter ......"

Seeing that he looked like he wanted to speak and was embarrassed, Lu Jin unconsciously became even more curious: "What happened, Brother Zhu, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it, after all, you helped me before, as long as it is not illegal and moral, I will not stand idly by." ”

Zhu Chang heard this, his face was embarrassed again, and then he finally gritted his teeth and truthfully said the current predicament of the Qingzhu Gang-

It turned out that the fire on the Shangyuan Festival this time actually had a lot to do with his Qingzhu Gang, and those who were taken down by the Shuntian Mansion were their help Lin Qing and many brothers in the gang. And Zhu Chang was a little luckier, he happened to go out at that time, so he escaped a catastrophe, but because his name was not small, he was also wanted, so he didn't dare to show up during the day, so he had to come to see Lu Zhen at night.

Hearing this, Lu Jin's brows furrowed: "It is related to the fire, this matter has been taken over by the people of Shuntianfu, and the evidence is conclusive, I'm afraid I can't do anything." Another point he didn't make explicit, the fire caused a lot of casualties, and since the Qingzhu Gang did it, they should bear the corresponding responsibility. If it weren't for Zhu Chang's kindness to himself, he would have ordered Lin Lie to take people down.

Zhu Chang also saw Lu Jin's thoughts, and said excitedly: "Lord Lu, this matter is actually not the sin of my Qingzhu Gang, it is really just a black pot for others!" ”

"You're saying someone has lied to you?" Lu Jin's face did not change much, and he asked with a little doubt.

"Exactly. My Qingzhu Gang is just a small gang in the capital, but I don't have the courage to do such a thing, and this was what happened at that time. On the same day, our eldest brother Lin took a few brothers to enjoy the lanterns, and then he had a quarrel with some local gangsters. As a result, a nearby shop suddenly caught fire...... In the end, somehow, the Yamen put this charge on us, and none of the people in the gang who worked with our Qingzhu Gang were convicted of it......"

Seeing his aggrieved look, Lu Zhen unconsciously believed three points in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Your words are just one-sided words, how can you tell me to believe you?" Besides, you shouldn't have been there that day, how could you know so clearly? ”

"Yes...... One of the brothers in the gang escaped arrest from the government and told me only after meeting with me. ”

"Really? How could it be such a coincidence? Lu Zhen still smiled noncommittally.

Seeing his appearance, Zhu Chang unconsciously blushed a little, and said urgently: "My brother of the Qingzhu Gang has always been upright, if it was really done by us, we would never deny it, but this time someone did harm us......

"But you're still hiding something." Lu Jin's words interrupted the other party's words, and then his eyes fell on his face: "If you really want me to help you, you shouldn't hide something and not say it, otherwise I won't rashly agree to help you." ”

In fact, from the moment he saw Zhu Chang, Lu Zhen felt that there seemed to be something wrong with him, after all, the other party was just a person in the rivers and lakes, and the ability to hide his heart was naturally not enough, and Lu Jin, who had been in officialdom for more than a year, was used to observing words and feelings, so he could see the flickering between his words.

"I ......" I didn't expect Lu Zhen to see through his flaws at once, which made Zhu Chang's face pale, and he suddenly didn't know how to speak.

But Lu Zhen didn't give him any respite at all, and immediately said as if persecuted: "If you are really wronged and want to ask me to help, then tell the truth." Otherwise, please go back. Although I, Lu Jin, know how to repay my kindness, I will not be used by others in a daze. ”

Seeing him put on such a resolute attitude, Zhu Chang suddenly became a little discouraged. In this situation, the only thing he can rely on is this Daxing County Order, who had some friendships, so after a period of hesitation, he finally said: "Lu County Commander really can't rub sand in his eyes, and he admires it." In fact, it's really not that simple, but someone is deliberately targeting our Qingzhu Gang, and this person should have a lot to do with our Qingzhu Gang saving you that day......"

"Huh? Are you saying that the guards are eyeing you? Lu Jin's eyebrows were raised, and his body couldn't help but straighten.

"Exactly. In fact, since that day, our Qingzhu Gang brothers have become sad in the capital, and people from other gangs have constantly come to grab our docks, and once there is a conflict, as long as the government is alarmed, it must be us who suffers. Zhu Chang said, glancing at Lu Jin.

Although there was not much complaint in this eye, Lu Zhen still touched his nose a little uncomfortably. If what the other party says is true, then his responsibility is really not small.

"But the path was chosen by ourselves, so even so, our brothers had no complaints. Since we couldn't do the work on the docks, we found another way to make a living, and then we got some barely subsistence work in some shops in the city, and we just sold our strength. Zhu Chang continued.

Originally, Lu Zhen also wanted to ask the other party why he didn't look for himself if this was the case, after all, everything was because of himself. But then I understood that the people in their rivers and lakes also have their own bottom line and backbone, since they think that they didn't see it right, and if they didn't handle Lu Jin's affairs well, it was naturally not good to come to the door to ask for benefits.

In fact, Lu Zhen still doesn't know too much, at this time, the people have the saying that they can't enter the official family in life and can't go to hell when they die, and the official government is even more taboo for these people in the rivers and lakes. If something happens and the government is alarmed, then they will be looked down upon in the rivers and lakes, and it will be even more difficult to gain a foothold in the capital in the future. If it weren't for the fact that he was really cornered this time, Zhu Chang would not have asked for Lu Jin, the county commander.

Zhu Chang continued to speak: "This time I was provoked by someone and then took action, and it seems that in hindsight, they should have arranged it a long time ago, in order to deduct this fire on the head of our Qingzhu Gang." Although those who did it to us were indeed members of the gang, the men of the Terracotta Division and the Shuntianfu arrived in time shortly after the fire broke out, and only took our people, but they let the guys leave, and then insisted on setting us on fire without giving us any chance to argue. From all this, it seems that they have been prepared to harm us for a long time. ”

Lu Zhen nodded, although there was no conclusive evidence, but what he said was reasonable, making it easy for him to believe it: "So, someone is planning against you behind your back, and it may have something to do with the factory guard who has been dealing with you?" ”

"Exactly." Zhu Chang lowered his head, looking very worried. He concealed all this just now, because he was worried that Lu Zhen would not dare to take over, after all, which official in this capital is not afraid of the factory guard?

Under his uneasy scrutiny, Lu Zhen lowered his eyelids and groaned, and after a while, he said slowly: "This matter is not under the authority of my Daxing County, and it involves such a complex variable, so I can't promise you to help you overturn the case now." Give me time to find out, and as long as it is as you say, I will make the decision for you. ”

"Really?" This answer was indeed surprising enough, and Zhu Chang couldn't help but ask with some uncertainty.

Lu Zhen nodded, and then raised a finger and said, "But I also have one condition." ”

"You said, as long as you are willing to save us and help our brothers, I will go to the soup and go to the fire!"

"I don't need you to do this, I just want you to stay in the county office, stay by my side, and don't leave without permission. I need your help me find the gang members who are in conflict with you, would you? ”

"I can't shirk this!" Zhu Chang immediately agreed happily, and his face was full of joy.

Lu Zhen also laughed with him, and asked Lin Lie to settle this person in a vacant room somewhere in the second hall. After the two left, his face showed a solemn look, and he thought that a case that had nothing to do with him actually came to his eyes again, and he couldn't ignore it now.

Originally, I planned to keep a low profile as much as possible during this time, so that I could wait for the dispatch of the officials, and then go to Jiangnan in peace. But now, that plan is about to fall through.

"The factory guard actually colluded with the local gang to deal with the Qingzhu Gang? If that's the case, I really should be responsible, they must have been jealous of the factory guards, or Wang Zhen, because they had helped me before! After walking around for two steps, Lu Jin secretly made a certain decision.
