Seeing Lu Zhen say this, Zeng Guang's face suddenly showed a trace of timidity, but Lu Tu immediately called Qu Lai: "My lord, you have wronged a few officials too much, it is really because the matter is important, and the lower officials are only two officials, and they have no real power to deal with such a big matter, so it has been delayed." ”

As soon as he spoke, Zeng Guang also reacted quickly, and cooperated: "Yes, my lord, these three cases are all very important, our county government already feels tricky, and there is no Zhengtang county order to preside over the overall situation before, so I can only put it aside for the time being, and I hope that my lord will learn from it!" ”

"So, is the official thinking about it?" Lu Zhen sneered: "But no matter what you say, this errand still has to fall on me, the county commander." As a subordinate of this bureaucracy, you can only watch, and you can't even come up with an idea? ”

Lu Tu's eyes drooped, a trace of triumph flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth also curved a trace of imperceptible arc. But this expression was fleeting, and then he made a look at Zeng Guang, this matter was all his face, so naturally it was up to him to say it.

Zeng Guang felt bitter in his heart, it seems that this offending county order has to be said by himself, but in front of Lu Xiancheng, how dare he disobey: "My lord, I mentioned a procrastination trick before the next official, this is the safest way." ”

"Is it safe? If this is really safe, I am afraid that the former Li County Commander will not lose his official position and leave the capital. I'm right, Lu Xiancheng? Lu Zhen handed the conversation to Lu Tu again.

Lu Tu could only smile reluctantly: "This...... The lower officials can't say it, maybe because Li County's order has left, so no one will hold on to this matter anymore. ”

Lu Zhen smiled again: "You are really optimistic enough." But also, after all, if something goes wrong, I, the county commander, are in front of me, and it has nothing to do with the few of you. ”

This is a bit damaging, but this time Lu Tu didn't answer this at all, just lowered his head and acquiesced. He decided that Lu Zhen was cornered in this matter, and he might soon follow in the footsteps of his predecessor, so he was not afraid of him.

Seeing his attitude, Lu Jin's anger in his heart became a little stronger, and he stared at him for a moment, and then eased his tone: "Sure enough, many things in this world can't rely on people, but only on yourself." This time, I really understood the truth of this sentence. These three thorny cases can only be solved by themselves. ”

Hearing that he seemed to have made a decision, this made Lu Tu puzzled, and couldn't help but ask: "What is your adult's plan for this?" ”

"We can't afford to mess with the factory guards, but we are afraid that someone will hand the knife behind our backs, so there is only one way." Lu Zhen already stared at Lu Tu with a reason: "Seal all the clues and evidence found, and then hand them over to Shuntian Mansion, and let them dispose of it!" ”

He finally said his own solution, and the two subordinates in front of him were obviously stunned on the spot after hearing this idea, especially Lu Tu's face changed, knowing that his plan was about to fail.

It is said that when dealing with difficult things, in addition to procrastination, there is also a trick called pushing words in the officialdom, that is, to push out things that you can't do, or that will cause trouble, and let others do it.

Generally speaking, this trick is used by the boss yamen to push the difficulties to the subordinate yamen, such as Shuntianfu pushing the hot case to Daxing County, so that they can finally offend people. No one thought that this time Lu Zhen would actually go the opposite way, report the case he couldn't handle to Shuntianfu, and hand it over to them to deal with!

How bold you have to be, and how many people you will offend! There has always been a tradition in officialdom that subordinates take the blame for their superiors, and once it is reversed, the subordinates may not have a good time in the future. Lu Zhen reported the case to the next level, he was relaxed, but Shuntianfu was in big trouble. After that, Shuntianfu, who had a lot of opinions about him, would inevitably give him small shoes to wear, and even in the officialdom in the future, there will be people who will embarrass him everywhere, which is really not a good idea.

But compared to another result, this is the best choice. Because if he doesn't, he will probably lose his official position. The former still has room for redemption, and the latter is completely gone. I believe that any sober-minded person, when faced with the choice between the two, will choose the latter, including the previous Li County Commander.

That's why he didn't do this, just because he had been in officialdom for many years, and he didn't expect to be able to resolve the crisis in this way. Because they have long been accustomed to all kinds of rules in officialdom, even if they are only unspoken rules. In his heart, not causing trouble to his boss has long been the norm of behavior, how could he think of this trick?

In fact, it was Lu Jin, who didn't think of this countermeasure, and had to rely on Chu Yunrong's reminder to come back to his senses. And he has a greater advantage than his predecessor, that is, he also has Hu Hu, a big backer, presumably Shuntianfu will not dare to be too ruthless to him afterwards.

After Lu Tu figured out the pros and cons, his face became a little ugly. He knew that his calculation had completely failed, so it seemed that the young county magistrate in front of him was really a character, and he was not bound by the law, so he had to be careful when he did it again in the future. Fortunately, now the county government is still in charge of itself, and there is time to find another opportunity.

Zeng Guang lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything anymore. Because he found that this county magistrate was extremely shrewd, far from being something he could provoke. He even had an idea, it would be better to remain neutral in the future, and not to be affected by Lu Xiancheng around him at that time.

Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Lu Zhen spoke again: "Lu Xiancheng, this is the reason why I called you here today." After all, these three cases are very important, and even if our county government reports to Shuntianfu, we have to follow the rules. So it's up to you! ”

"Ah......" Lu Tu's face changed again when he heard this, but he was really a little panicked: "My lord, this ......" He knew what he would bring to send trouble to Shuntian Mansion, so he naturally subconsciously wanted to refuse. But before he could say anything, Lu Zhen had already interrupted coldly: "What, do you want to disobey?" As he spoke, his face sank.

The counterattack came so fast! Lu Tu's mind first flashed such a thought, but his heart sank, knowing that he couldn't hide this time.

Although he Lu County Cheng covered the sky in the county office, in terms of identity, he was still a subordinate of Lu Jin, the newly arrived county commander. This is not another state or county, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, once the matter is really explained, he is a second official, a county from a high background, and dares to disobey the county order, just afraid that he will lose his official position.

Therefore, as soon as Lu Zhen said this, Lu Tu could only shut up and bow his head, and after a while, he hugged his fists and said: "The next official is to receive the order." ”

Lu Zhen stared at him, and there was even a trace of regret in his eyes. This is also a character who can stretch and contract, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he relented. If he really refuses strongly, he can use the county order to kick him out of the county office, and presumably the officials will cooperate with him.

This is the strategy that Lu Zhen thought of after he had a countermeasure. Because he has figured it out, Daxing County Yali is now the most single-handed Lu Tu, and if he wants to grasp the real power, he must be removed. And now there are still too many things waiting for him to do, Lu Zhen really doesn't have the interest and time to follow Guangling to find evidence little by little, look for opportunities, and just take advantage of the situation.

But as a result, his abacus still failed, and Lu Tu actually wisely chose to obey his fate. Fortunately, this can be regarded as progress to some extent, so that the people in the yamen know who they are as a county commander and what their attitude is towards Lu Tu. It is better to let this somewhat inflated Lu Xiancheng know what his identity is.

He's just a second-class official from a high background, and he still wants to suppress himself, a genuine county magistrate? I don't want to think about what the people in this Ming officialdom generally do, they have always only done dirty work and tiring work, and once something goes wrong, they have to take the blame for their bosses, a typical tragic character who comes with a black pot and sends you to death, and now he still wants to pit himself in turn!

Lu Jin is not one of those petty officials who are timid and afraid of things, and always talk about repaying grievances with virtue. As long as he dares to be an enemy of him, he will definitely use the fastest and most ferocious tricks to fight back. In the grassland, he did this in Guangling. When he arrives in the capital this time, he doesn't plan to change!

After glancing at the two subordinates with uncertain faces, Lu Zhen waved his hand: "You all go down." Remember, take care of things for me, otherwise even if the official wants to release you, the imperial court system will not spare you! ”

Zeng Guang hurriedly retreated, while Lu Tu glanced at Lu Zhen again before walking back with a gloomy expression. At this time, Lu Zhen said again: "Lu Xiancheng, you have to do this matter in person, if you ask someone else to go, I'm afraid that Shuntianfu will think that our county government doesn't understand the rules, do you understand?" ”

"Xia Guan knows." Responded hatefully, and Lu Tu came out of the public house. When he came out, the muscles on his face were completely distorted, and what made him even more angry was that Zeng Guang didn't wait for him outside, but left by himself, something that had never happened before.

Just when Lu Tu was still thinking about how to deal with the difficulties in front of him, the conversation between the three of them inside had already spread quickly in the county office. After understanding the strength of the county commander and the difficulties faced by Lu Xiancheng, the upper and lower people who were originally firmly on his side began to waver.

This is exactly the warmth and coldness of the people in the officialdom, you are prosperous with momentum, and once the momentum is gone, you have to accept the result of being abandoned. And this is also the result that Lu Zhen wants to see, otherwise it will be really difficult to deal with Lu Tu, the old man of the county government.

But this is only the beginning of his counterattack, and other back-up moves are coming one after another!
