The scorching sun all day made the whole city of Jinan as hot as a steamer, and even after dark, the situation did not improve much. Feeling this stuffiness, Lu Zhen did not continue to stay in the house, but walked around the garden.

In fact, the reason that can make him feel stuffy is not the weather, as the governor, he has already put a few pots of ice cubes in the house, which makes the temperature inside actually quite suitable, because there is something in his heart, which makes him feel a little more hot and dry in addition to being irritable.

In the past few days, news has been coming back from the front, but it is not a good thing. Those who went to Huangyan Town to find clues, and entered the mountains to find the whereabouts of the bandits, made no progress. This time, the matter is completely frozen here, and there is no clue.

Although Lu Zhen deduced that the breakthrough in this matter should be on the deserter named Yao Gan. But if you want to find such a person, it is still a needle in a haystack, and the possibility is even lower than finding those bandits in Taihang Mountain. Especially when everyone in Huangyan Town was killed, he was even more cut off from trying to find his whereabouts through his relatives and friends.

What's next? Do you continue to make people search the mountains with great effort, or do you use some other more effective method? In fact, Lu Zhen still has a trick to force out those thieves hiding in the mountains, but this is a desperate plan, and he doesn't want to use it easily unless he has to.

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves of the big camphor tree above his head rattled, which made his somewhat irritable mood slightly calmer. A few leaves fell with the wind, and Lu Zhen subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it, and then, his movements stopped suddenly, because it was not only those leaves that suddenly fell, but also a black figure!

Lu Zhen couldn't have imagined that the Qin Cha Xingyuan, who had always been tightly guarded, would be touched by uninvited guests, which made his heart nervous. But he didn't panic, he just looked at the person in front of him fixedly: "Who are you, this is the ...... of the governor's yamen" Before he finished speaking, a knife was already stuck to his throat, so that he didn't dare to say anything more.

The person on the other side said with a dumb throat: "Do you know where Governor Lu is?" Take me there, and I won't embarrass you. If you dare to speak out—" As he spoke, with a slight force in his hand, the blade almost cut Lu Jin's throat, and the threat was already quite obvious.

Lu Zhen glanced at the other party with some surprise. Because it was night, and his hair was covered with a messy beard, he couldn't see his appearance clearly. It's just that those eyes, revealing a trace of killing intent, make people have to believe what they say. So after a little silence, a good word came out of his throat.

Seeing that he agreed, the man moved the knife away a little, and then turned around, and came to Lu Jin's back, and pushed his hand on his shoulder: "Lead the way!" ”

Lu Zhen had to walk forward according to his wishes, looking around as he walked, hoping to find a way to save himself. But there was no such opportunity in the garden, and not even half of the people were missing—because they knew that the governor had been in a bad mood lately, and the people did not dare to touch his moldy head at this time, so they all hid far away.

In desperation, Lu Zhen had to take this person to a wing room in the backyard, and after approaching, he kindly reminded: "You can think about it, don't do anything stupid." The Governor is not something you can hurt at will......"

"Don't talk nonsense, knock on the door!" The man nudged him again and whispered.

Lu Jin was helpless, so he had to step forward and knock on the door: "Governor Lu, someone wants to see you......"

The door opened, and a figure quickly pounced out, slamming the knife-wielding right wrist before the man behind him could react. And taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Zhen quickly pounced forward and distanced himself from this person.

The man didn't expect someone inside the door to attack him, and under the sneak attack, the knife had already flown out, so he could only snort, retreat with his abdomen, dodge the next attack, and then pounced again.

The two immediately exchanged hands face to face, punching and kicking each other quickly, and after a while, they each hit each other a few times, and then they separated again. The person who hid in front of the door and rescued Lu Zhen from the other party was Qingle.

When Lu Zhen came to the door and said that, he already knew that something was going on outside. So he hurried to the door, and once Lu Zhen knocked on the door to identify himself, he slammed open the door and attacked the enemy at the same time, thus helping Lu Jin get rid of the other party's control.

And the fight between the two of them quickly alarmed some of the guards on the side, and Lin Lie had already rushed over with his sword, but in a blink of an eye, this person had been surrounded by dozens of soldiers with blades, and it was difficult to get out.

It wasn't until this time that the man realized that he had been deceived by Lu Jin. But he didn't get angry, just smiled miserably and lowered his hand: "You guys do it!" "But he looked like he was waiting to die.

Just when several soldiers were about to step forward to take him down, Lu Zhen spoke: "Slow." As he spoke, he looked each other up and down for a while.

Now that there are torches shining here, the appearance of the other party is completely exposed to his eyes. This is a man who looks extremely embarrassed and tired, the clothes and armor on his body have long been torn, and even the scars and blood stains on his chest and arms can be seen, and his eyes, in addition to helplessness, are also a little unwilling.

After thinking for a while, Lu Zhen stared at the other party and said, "Yao Gan, why do you want to see Governor Lu?" ”

was called to reveal his identity, Yao Gan's body shook suddenly, and he subconsciously said: "How do you know my ......?"

"Because the official has seen the depiction of your appearance, and the armor you are wearing is the standard armor of the border army, and the official has been an official in the border area for a few years, so he still has this vision." Lu Zhen smiled and said.

"Could it be...... Are you Lu Jin? Yao Gan looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, unable to connect him with a high-ranking official like the governor at all. It was precisely because he had already decided that Governor Lu should be a middle-aged man of about fifty years old, that he did not have any doubts about Lu Jin, who was only in his twenties.

"Bold! Dare to call the name of Lord Futai! Immediately, a guard scolded.

Lu Jin hurriedly waved his hand to let him retreat, and then nodded and said, "Yes, this official is the Lu Jin you are looking for." It's just that I didn't know what your purpose was just now, so I didn't identify myself. After a pause, he looked at him and said, "Tell me, what did you do when you stole into this line to find this official?" ”

After a little hesitation, Yao Gan suddenly knelt down, and then kowtowed three times in a row towards Lu Jin: "The villain heard that the governor has always been fair and is a rare good official, and I hope you can make decisions for me and my family......"

The people around were a little dumbfounded. I thought that this guy who suddenly stole in was an assassin, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he became a bitter master, and he actually came to avenge the governor. Lu Jin, on the other hand, did not show any surprise, but said calmly: "It seems that you have already returned to your hometown in Huangyan Town, and you know what happened there, right?" ”

"Yes!" Yao Gan raised his head and squeezed out a word from between his teeth, his eyes were full of grief and indignation: "I hurt them, I can't imagine that those guys would be so inhumane and slaughter all the innocents in the town......"

When Lu Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with him: "Since the matter has happened, I hope you can mourn." In fact, even if you don't come to this official, since this incident happened in my Shandong, I, the governor, have an unshirkable responsibility, and I will definitely find those murderers and give justice to the victims! ”

Yao Gan could feel that Lu Jin's words were indeed sincere, and immediately thanked the prime minister again: "Thank you for your willingness to give us justice, my Yao Gan will definitely repay you if I am a cow and a horse in my next life." ”

"But the official hasn't figured out what's going on until now. Why would someone do such a terrible thing for you, can you give me an explanation and explanation? ”

Just when Yao Gan wanted to answer his question, Lu Zhen suddenly waved his hand: "Wait." It's getting late today, and you're tired, so let's not talk about it yet. Wait for you to rest for the night, and come back tomorrow to tell me everything in detail. Come, let him go down and rest, and do not embarrass him. ”

An assassination suddenly turned into a complaint, so that the guards could not turn the corner for a long time. It wasn't until the governor gave such an order that he agreed, and a few people came up and walked out with Yao Gan in their hands. And although the latter had some doubts in his heart, since he had chosen to believe Lu Jin, it was difficult to oppose it now, so he had to be taken outside by these people.

"This time, thanks to you." After seeing Yao Gan and them leave, Lu Zhen turned around and said with a smile.

"The adults are serious, and their subordinates are ashamed. If it weren't for our carelessness, this person wouldn't have been able to get close to the adult. Qingle hurriedly returned the salute.

Lin Lie also nodded beside him and said: "Yes, it seems that the guards inside and outside this yamen are too loose, fortunately, it is someone who sneaks in this time who has no malicious intent, otherwise I would have died a hundred times." ”

"Maybe it's not that the people below don't do their best, but that this Yao Gan is capable enough." Lu Zhen had a different opinion. Seeing the puzzled looks on the faces of the two, he explained: "Think about it, he was able to escape from the Shanxi military camp, avoid the subsequent pursuit and interception, and successfully came to me. Therefore, it should not be difficult for him to sneak out at night without being noticed by the guards outside. ”

The two thought about it carefully, and nodded in agreement, and then there was a burst of admiration. And Lu Jin, at this time, put his mind back on Yao Gan, he believed that from this person, he would definitely be able to get answers to many questions that he couldn't figure out before......
