Hu Hu, as the secretary of the ministry, is in charge of the promotion of middle and low-level officials in the world, and he also pays attention to the merits and demerits of the officials.

Every day, after the morning court, Hu Hui would deal with many official documents, and it was not until after noon that he could find some time for dinner and a short rest, and then he would be busy with the case until dark. Many times, even when he returned home, he had to be idle, and he still had to solve the tasks that he was in a hurry to deal with, and he was so busy that he almost didn't have time for himself.

Today's situation is also ordinary, Hu Butang, who is getting older but still in good spirits, constantly criticizes the documents sent in by the officials below one by one, ten lines at a glance, and when the tip of the pen moves, he leaves his own meaning on it, and then hands it over to the scribes on the side, so that they can immediately execute it according to their will.

Just after noon, just as Hu Hu temporarily put down the brush in his hand and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows to eliminate fatigue, one of his deputies, Lang Zhonggu Sheng, came over with a document: "My lord." ”

"What, is there anything hard to decide?" Hu Hu looked at him and frowned, so he asked. This Gu Sheng has always been steady and decisive, and he is his right-hand man, and he rarely sees him in difficulty.

"There is an official who has not responded for a few days after receiving the order from my ministry, and the subordinate officials are a little difficult to deal with, so I want to ask Hu Butang." Gu Sheng handed over the official document in his hand as he spoke.

"But who is it that is so difficult? Is it promotion or relocation? Hu Hu took the paperwork and asked casually. But when his eyes fell on the official position and name mentioned in the document, the smile on his face suddenly fell: "Lu Jin, the current Daxing County Commander who was transferred to Hangzhou Prefecture?" ”

"Exactly." Gu Sheng glanced at Hu Hu cautiously, and then continued: "Ordinary officials will hand over everything in three or five days and leave Beijing to take up their posts after receiving the transfer documents from our ministry. But this Lu County Order, or Lu Tuiguan, has not seen any movement, which makes it a little difficult for us to do, after all, Daxing County is not as good as other places, and the question of the selection of the county order is ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Hui: "Who asked you to say this?" When he asked this, Hu Hui's eyes were already fixed on the face of the subordinate in front of him, for a moment.

Gu Sheng was stared at by him like this, and he was nervous for no reason, and only after a while did he stammer: "Xiaguan...... This is the intention of the subordinate himself, and no one has asked the subordinate to say it......"

"Really? Then you, as a ministry, should also understand a truth, if the transferred official has other important errands in his hands, he must finish the matter before leaving. He was not dismissed, but transferred, and he couldn't leave behind half of what he had done. You also said that this is the capital, even if it is a county order, the errand in hand cannot be taken lightly. Hu Hu said lightly.

"Xiaguan...... I really didn't think of this, and I ask for forgiveness. Gu Sheng hurriedly admitted his negligence, and then asked: "So, my lord, do you know what important errands he has on his hands?" ”

Hu Hu didn't answer him, but just raised his eyes and looked at him: "This is your business, as a ministry, you can't even take care of this matter, Gu Sheng, you are too derelict in your duties." ”

"The lower official is guilty." Gu Sheng heard the unhappiness in his boss's words, quickly confessed, and then retreated a little embarrassed.

Hu Hu didn't hide the unhappiness on his face until he went out: "I didn't expect that there were people in my ministry leaning towards Wang Zhen, it seems that many people are planning for the future......" Thinking of this, the worry in his eyes became more and more obvious. These old ministers who can suppress Wang Zhen are getting older, I'm afraid they won't be able to suppress it for a few years, but what should they do in the future?

Soon, though, he picked himself up again. The future will be talked about in the future, but the top priority now is to help Lu Jin. In fact, Lu Zhen had been talking to him before, worried that someone would make a fuss about any matter, but now it seems that his worries are indeed not groundless.

After pondering for a while, Hu Hu took a blank document on the case, took a pen and quickly wrote something on it, and pressed his own seal, and then called a cronie: "Send this official document to the Yamen of Daxing County and hand it over to their county order, don't say anything else." ”

The cronie hurriedly agreed, accepted the paperwork and hurried away. And it was only at this time that Hu Hui had the time to pick up the food that had been delivered too early, which was already a little chilly, and ate it directly at the desk of this public hall.

When this personal entourage who was ordered to go to Daxing County came to the destination, everything in front of him startled him.

I saw that the area around Yaqian Street, which was already lively, was actually crowded with people, and the gate of the county government, where not many people dared to approach, was surrounded by people, and the people around looked at it from afar with worried and surprised eyes.

The people surrounding the county government were more than 100 soldiers and horses in battle jackets, armed with knives and guns, and full of fierce faces. Compared with these people, those county officials who are majestic enough on weekdays are really nothing, even if the county government is surrounded, none of them dare to come forward to speak, and even shrink to the side, for fear that they will be implicated.

And after the Daxing County Ya was encircled, there was a burly man with a meaty face in front of him, riding a tall horse and walking over with great momentum. When he came to the gate, he turned over and dismounted, took the whip in his hand and pointed at one of the officers in front of him, and said, "Come here!" ”

The errand officer who was ordered flinched unconsciously, but he didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he cautiously came up, nodded and said, "I don't know what the general commands?" You are ......."

"Whew!" Before he could finish his sentence, the whip in the general's hand was thrown out violently and was being whipped in the face, knocking the soldier to the ground with a bloody wound.

The general snorted: "Lao Tzu is going to ask you, not for you to ask Lao Tzu!" Let me ask you, what kind of county order do you have Lu Jinke? ”

Although it was quite painful to eat a whip, the officer could be regarded as having learned to be obedient, and replied with pain: "Our lord is in the yamen......

"Go, lead the way! Take me to your county magistrate! As he spoke, he glanced over, and immediately a soldier stepped forward, lifted the man from the ground like a chicken cub, pushed him into the gate of the county government at once, and drove him to lead the way.

This hapless errand officer could only obediently lead these domineering fellows through the door and into the second hall. This scene fell into the eyes of everyone around, and everyone sweated for the county government.

At a glance, they knew that these soldiers who appeared today were not easy to get along with, and I was afraid that this time the Lu County Order would be difficult. At the same time, many people began to speculate about the origin of these soldiers and the reason for this, but they couldn't figure it out for a while.

While the people were talking about this, these people had already come to the second hall of the county office, and alarmed the scribes and several assistants among them. As soon as they saw these soldiers breaking in violently, everyone looked suspicious, and when they found that they were going straight to Lu Jin's public house, everyone became even more nervous, and I am afraid that this matter is going to make a big trouble today.

When he came to the door of Lu Jin's public house, the military general pulled the leader to the side, and then kicked the half-closed door with his foot suddenly, and then he saw a young man sitting behind the desk, staring at him with blazing eyes.

"You're Lu Jin?" Seeing that he was not flustered at all, the general felt that it was not a taste in his heart, so he simply asked directly.

"This official is Lu Jin, the commander of Daxing County, dare to ask Your Excellency?" Lu Zhen looked the other party up and down and saw that he should be a general in the army, but he couldn't guess his identity.

"My name is Ma Shuo, and I am from the former military governor's office. I heard that the people you took the brocade guard two days ago said that they were guilty of stealing and arson? Yes and no? "Ma Shuo is a straight person in the end, and he doesn't speak in circles.

A smile finally appeared on Lu Jin's face: "It turns out that General Ma, you are here for those brocade guards." From this point of view, your relationship with Jinyiwei Zhen Fu Ma Shun should be very shallow. ”

"That's right, Ma Shun is my brother. If you know each other, let them go for me, or ......," Ma Shuo said immediately threateningly.

"How else?" Lu Zhen still looked at him calmly: "General Ma, when did your former military capital governor's mansion have the right to inquire about the security of the capital?" Can you still meddle in the official affairs of my county government? ”

Ma Shuo was stunned when he asked this question, and the former military governor's office only had the power to transfer troops and train troops, but it had never had such power. But then, he sank his face: "The surname is Lu, do you make it clear that you don't want to listen to my will and release people?" ”

"The matter is an important case, and I beg your pardon for not being able to obey the order. Also, General Ma, you should not have led people to go straight to the important place of our county like this, if you leave here, this official can not be investigated, otherwise, although the official is not high, he can also participate in your copy. Lu Zhen also replied forcefully.

Ma Shuo seemed to be amused by Lu Jin's threat: "Ha, they all say that you Lu Zhen is a crazy county magistrate, but in my opinion, you are a fool, and you dare to talk to General Ben like this." I've got 100 elites out there, and if you don't let them go, I'll rob them myself." Ask you one last time, will you let people go? After saying this, he also took a step forward, as if he had the intention of making a move if he didn't agree.

In this meeting, all the officials outside were nervous, for fear that Lu Zhen would have something to do if he disagreed.

But Lu Zhen smiled disdainfully, he had seen arrogance, but he had never seen such stupid and arrogant. This is not the original Guangling County, in the city of Beijing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can such a military man be willful?

So without hesitation, he shook his head categorically: "People, I will definitely not let go!" This is the county government, which represents the majesty of the imperial court, I advise you to leave quickly! ”
