Chapter 778: Turnaround
It wasn't until he was taken to the Zhenfu Division that Lu Tong recovered a little from the panic of being arrested by the government, and then after finding out that he was actually taken to the legendary Zhenfu Division, he was so frightened that he couldn't even walk.
However, Zhao Jie and the others were not in the mood to wait for him to recover, so they dragged him directly to Yang Zhen, who had been waiting for a long time: "Yang Yanshi, I am fortunate not to be dishonored, and I finally brought back this witness named Lu Tong." As soon as he put his hand down as he spoke, Lu Tong fell to the ground in great embarrassment, and only screamed miserably for a while: "My lord, spare my life...... Students really don't know anything......"
Looking at his scumbag appearance, everyone in the hall looked disdainful. It was a little difficult for them to accept that their own governor would have such a useless nephew. It wasn't until Yang Zhen signaled that someone stepped forward, pulled him up, and then pressed him to the chair on the side.
After staring at him for a moment, convinced that he was not pretending, Yang Zhen spoke: "Lu Tong, you must already know that your current situation is very bad, right?" To tell you the truth, things are far more dangerous than you think. Someone wants to borrow you to deal with Lu Dudu, and once they do, you'll only die faster! ”
This obviously threatening voice came into Lu Tong's ears, making him panic again, and he immediately cried: "What the hell is going on? Didn't I just want to take the exam, why would anyone want to harm me? Who is the Governor of Ludu, and what does it have to do with me......
"Huh? Don't you know that Lu Dudu is the uncle of your Lu family in Suzhou? Yang Zhen immediately grasped the crux of the question and asked urgently.
Lu Tong was stunned again, and only after a while did he say in surprise: "My lord is talking about my Lu Jin...... Uncle Lu Qi is the governor of Jinyiwei? It wasn't until this time that he understood a little, and his heart was settled, after all, he was Uncle Seven's subordinates, and they would never do anything to him.
In other words, the news of this era did not spread too fast, Lu Jinyiwei has been doing it for more than half a year, but Lu Tong, who is in Suzhou, doesn't know that there is such a thing. Of course, this is also related to Lu Jin's early falling out with the Lu family, and the whole family knew that it was impossible to rely on him, so they didn't inquire about him. Even Lu Tong, the nephew of the Lu family, went to Beijing to take the exam, but he didn't pay a visit or notify Lu Jin.
Yang Zhen and the others also immediately saw the problem, but they didn't immediately ask questions, but continued to put pressure on him: "Exactly." You've been in the capital for a while, so you should know that many officials in the DPRK and China are the opposite of my Jinyiwei, right? After seeing him nod, he continued: "They just want to frame Lu Dudu this time, so they will make a big fuss about the fraud in the imperial examination, and among them, you are an extremely critical point." ”
"I ...... Why am I ...... so useful?" Lu Tong was completely stunned, although he had heard some rumors in the guild hall, but he still hadn't figured out the specific reason.
Yang Zhen had to simply explain it to the Criminal Department as the motive for Lu Jin's stealing of exam questions and cheating, which naturally caused Lu Tong to shout and be wronged, and at the same time, he finally understood why he ended up so miserable.
After seeing that he understood, Yang Zhencai said with a serious expression: "So the matter is now, the yamen of the capital is full."
Officials want to blame you for fraud, but as a scholar, you should know very well what that means, right? ”
Of course, Lu Tong understood, and his face had turned pale: "This ...... How good is that? He knew too well what this meant, not only would his more than ten years of hard study be in vain, but he might also be convicted of a felony, and even if he didn't die, he would have to be exiled for thousands of miles and become a hard laborer.
Seeing that he was so frightened, Yang Zhen knew that the deterrent effect he hoped for was there, so he softened his face a little and said, "Now the only ones who can help you are our Jinyiwei and yourself." ”
It wasn't until he heard this sentence that Lu Tong calmed down a little, raised his eyes to look at the other party, and said expectantly: "What the adult said is true?" ”
"This official naturally won't lie to you, if he wants to harm you, why should my Jinyi Wei bother so much, just watch you being taken away by the people of the Criminal Department."
There is indeed some truth in this, and it also made Lu Tong believe it a little more: "What does the adult want me to do?" "He is actually not stupid, otherwise it would be impossible to raise people in the imperial examination in a big province such as Nanzhili, as long as he is not flustered, he still has some brains, and at this time he obviously heard the implicit meaning from the other party's words.
Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "Those people want to bite Lu Dudu by convicting you of fraud, so as long as you can explain this point, whether it is Lu Dudu or you, you will naturally be innocent." So as long as you are sure that you have never had such an idea at that time, and you have never met Lu Dudu in the capital, we are free to do other things. "This person's psychological quality is too poor, and that's all you can count on him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tong immediately said, "Student...... Naturally, the student had never met Uncle Seven. In fact, Uncle Seven has already drawn a line with my Lu family, how can he take the risk to help me? ”
"What did you say?" Yang Zhen and the others were stunned when they said this, and hurriedly asked loudly.
This change of color of everyone startled Lu Tong again. After a while, he told him about the fact that Lu Zhen had severed relations with the Lu family many years ago, and added at the end: "In fact, these relevant documents are still in the Suzhou Mansion, if the adults don't believe it, they can go and check it." ”
A hint of joy suddenly appeared on Yang Zhen's originally serious face, and he unconsciously let out a long sigh of relief. I didn't expect things to take such a turnaround. He knew that the other party would never speak to deceive him in this kind of matter, so that he would have enough reason to refute those officials who tried to use this to convict adults.
"Good, good!" After saying a few good words, Yang Zhen waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, please ask Lu Gongzi to go down and rest, take care of him, don't let him be wronged." "This person will be of great use in the future, and people must be optimistic.
At that moment, several captains stepped forward and invited Lu Tong, who had become much calmer, to go down and rest. Then, the others also smiled happily: "This article is enough to refute them." ”
"I'm afraid this is not enough, even if Lu Tong's motives here can be overturned by us, there is no guarantee that they will come up with other arguments." Yang Zhen said, his face condensed: "So for now, we still have to find out the person who laid out the layout as soon as possible, and that one."
The guy named Zhou Lu, this talent is the key to cracking this game. ”
Everyone was busy, and their expressions were much more relaxed than before, because with this, at least things were not so urgent. But then, someone raised a question: "Lord Servant, since the governor has made a clear relationship with the Lu family a long time ago, why didn't he refute it bluntly when those people in the Criminal Department used Lu Tong to convict him?" ”
"Well, that's where your lord is wise." Yang Zhen smiled hesitantly: "This matter obviously can't be hidden, if it is revealed early on, it will not have any impact on those guys in the Criminal Department, and they can even find other people from other places to detain the charge to the head of the governor." And now with this Lu Tong, they will only stare at this person, and when it comes to the critical moment, they will announce this matter, and the effect will naturally be better. Therefore, this matter is only known to you and me, and if anyone dares to speak out, don't blame me for not being emotional. ”
Everyone agreed, swearing that they would keep it a secret and never let outsiders know about it.
Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Also, send a message to the local Jinyi guard in Suzhou, let them take care of the government side, and must not let anything go wrong with that document." Although he believes that it is impossible for others to know about this matter, he is not afraid of 10,000, but he is afraid that in case, he still has to be vigilant.
Of course, just holding this flaw is far from being able to clear Lu Jin's charges, for Yang Zhen, this is only the first step, and there are still a few crucial moves to take.
One of the steps is naturally to find Zhou Lu, who has a great relationship with this matter, and only through him can the mastermind behind the scenes be dug out. Another step is that there must be officials from the DPRK and China who come forward to say a few words for Lu Jin, so that he has to be given a chance to defend himself, otherwise the initiative is all in the hands of the criminal department or the civilian clique, and Lu Dudu, who is in prison, will still not be able to return his innocence.
It was only at this time that I realized that the background of Jinyiwei is indeed extremely thin, far less than the weakness of the past.
If it had been placed in the past, when Jin Yiwei had won the trust of the emperor, even if the commander had an accident, a second-in-command like Yang Zhen would have a way to meet the Son of Heaven and cry out for him. But now, except for Lu Jin, no one in Jinyi is qualified to enter the palace, and if he sees the Son of Heaven, he can only rely on the help of officials in the DPRK and China.
Fortunately, Yang Zhen still has someone to look for - Hu Tong!
As two people with world friends, although they have rarely moved around in recent years because of the difference and gap in their respective identities, at this critical moment, Yang Zhen still decided to meet the old man and ask him for help. And he also knows that Hu Hu is still Lu Jin's teacher, and now that his disciple has been wronged and suffered, Master Hu as a teacher can't die without help, right?
So, that night, Yang Zhen quietly rushed to Hu's mansion, and when he handed over his name thorn, he obviously felt a little strange. This has been how many years since he ascended the gate of Hu Mansion, and he deliberately neglected the relationship between the two parties because he didn't want the boss's reputation to be damaged. Unexpectedly, today, after all, he still had the cheekiness to enter the door of the Hu family again.
However, Hu Hui obviously didn't think so, not long after Yang Zhen's famous thorn was handed into the door, a housekeeper came out with a smile and greeted him politely......
