Volume 1 Frontier Scenery Chapter 33 Setting Goals
finally found a trustworthy helper in the county office, so that Lu Jin's heart was finally settled, and his courage was much stronger than before. However, he also knew that it was impossible to easily snatch the power that belonged to him by relying on only one Lin Lie, and it was obvious that he still needed some planning.
To this end, he did an in-depth understanding of the structure of the county government to see if there was anything more that could be used. The relationship between the people in the yamen is complicated, and it is impossible for everyone to unite together, as long as he finds some flaws, his identity as the county commander of the main hall is enough to reverse the whole situation.
In just a few days, under Lu Jin's observation and side knocks, the situation in the yamen has been thoroughly explored by him.
After all, the number of county officials is not too large, and the internal relationship is not as complicated as imagined, generally speaking, it is divided into two forces, one is the official class dominated by Hou County Cheng and Shen Zhushu, and the other is a group of three classes of officials who are headed by Zheng Fu and Ma in the classic history.
In fact, to be precise, there is not much difference between the identities of Hou Shen and Lu Jin, the county magistrate, they are both external forces, but because they have been based in the county government for many years, coupled with some skills, they have attracted a group of scribes and clerks, and they also have a certain right to speak. As for Zheng Dianshi and those third-class officials, they are completely the head snakes in Guangling County, and many people are not only friends they have made since childhood, but they are even related to each other, and they seem to be more united than the former.
Originally, it stands to reason that the Zheng Dianshi Group, as the head snake of the land, should stabilize the former force. But because of their background, these people's abilities, especially the ability of the clerical office, are somewhat insufficient, so those scribes have a certain amount of power.
And just before the Lu County Order, the county order had the intention to take back the power of the county government into his own hands, so the two forces rarely cooperated, and the court official was disgraced and dismissed, and finally the Lu County Order came. In this way, the two forces maintained a delicate balance in the county government, and until a few months later, they are still peaceful. However, Lu Zhen can see that as long as he has been a low-key person as a county commander and does not come out, there will eventually be disputes between them.
If Lu Zhen has enough patience, he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and finally come to a trick of snipe and clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman. However, the situation in front of him could not allow him to delay so much at all, because some people inside and outside the county government would not let him go, an insider.
"One side is in charge of communicating with the paperwork of his superiors and subordinates and tax-related matters, and the other side is holding the affairs of the prison in his hands, and he also colludes with the garrison by the way. This article and martial arts, the financial and personnel powers have been divided by them, no wonder the county order can only be a cash puppet, but they can't even find a chance to resist. After listing all the information he had, Lu Zhen looked at the content on the paper and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
What can I do to get out of this situation? After all, now that he is the county magistrate, he is still the boss of these people, at least in the general sense, but he has been deprived of his power by them.
I don't have the right to call the shots, but I have the power to censor!
Suddenly, Lu Jin's eyes lit up, and he already had a clue. However, he knew very well that it was impossible for him to deal with both forces at the same time, so he had to pick one side to attack, and as for the other side, it was best to use it for his own use, and at worst, he had to keep them neutral.
Which side should you choose?
This question didn't make him think about it for too long, and he had already made a decision, and his goal was naturally set on Zheng Fu.
Although in terms of status in the county government and the entire county, Zheng Fu's side is far better than Hou Shen and the others, but many things do not have to be easy first and then difficult, but have to be judged according to the actual situation.
First, Lu Jinke still remembered that it was Zheng Fu's temptation that made him feel uneasy, so he found those clues. Therefore, this Zheng Fu is likely to be the insider of reselling grain in the army, and even he has a conjecture that Lu Xianling's death may be one of the murderers.
In this way, this person is already his opponent, so it is naturally better to strike first. Otherwise, if he attacks the other party, he may stab him in the back.
The second is the identity of the two Hou Shen. In any case, they are also local officials appointed by the imperial court, and their relationship with their own county commanders is also closer, and the possibility of friendship with them is much greater.
Third, it is because of Lin Lie's existence. As a catcher in the county government, he is in the system of the third class of officials, and he can play an internal role in dealing with Zheng Fu. And as long as it works properly, Lu Zhen can even help him up to replace Zheng Fu, so that he can completely grasp the power of this piece through him.
After some careful thinking, Lu Zhen had already made up his mind, so he would take Zheng Fu first!

"My lord, wouldn't it be too risky to do this?" Lin Lie asked with some uneasiness. This was Lin Lie's first reaction after Lu Zhen found an opportunity to tell his plan.
Then he kindly introduced: "This Zheng Fu has a deep roots in the county, he has been an errand boy in the county government since his grandfather, and his position in the history was passed on to him by his father, and the county government is also his confidant...... Once he realizes this, I'm afraid he will immediately fight back. ”
Lu Jin's expression was also very solemn, and when he heard this, he nodded: "I naturally save this." But instead of being beaten passively, it's better to take the initiative! It was precisely because he was powerful enough that he would not have thought that I would have the courage to suddenly attack. Moreover, since his Zheng family is so powerful in the county, he will definitely not offend people on weekdays, and it is in this county government office......"
He didn't finish his words, but Lin Lie already understood the meaning. Because of the power in their hands and the close relationship with the generals of the garrison in the city, the Zheng family has indeed always been near the county, and many people dare to be angry with them but dare not speak. As for the yamen, nothing else is clear, and some of the servants in it also have a lot of complaints about Zheng Fu, because except for his henchmen, others not only did not get benefits from this, but carried a lot of black cauldrons for them.
If Lu Zhen really makes a move, many people don't mind falling into the well, but there is also a premise, that is, he Lu County Ling Zhen occupies the initiative.
"Where did you decide to start, my lord?" Lin Lie wanted to understand this, so he no longer insisted on his own opinion, and asked such a sentence.
"Well, it depends on what is wrong with him." Lu Zhen smiled: "By the way, do you have a way to get the key to the warehouse dedicated to closing the case files?" "Pity him for this county order, even such a warehouse is not very easy to enter.
Now the large and small criminal prison cases in the county are all in charge of the history Zheng Fu, and those files are naturally guarded by his people. Although Lu Zhen can enter and even look at the things in it, the matter will inevitably be known to Zheng Fu as soon as possible. And once the other party is prepared, it will be too difficult for him to make trouble.
Lin Lie only thought about it, and then understood Lu Jin's intention: "That side is guarded by one of Zheng Fu's cronies, and the key to the treasury has always been with him. However, he had always liked to have a few drinks, and the little one could get him drunk and get the key. ”
"Well, then it's up to you." Lu Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this. With such a helper who knows the internal situation of the county government well, it is really much better, and if he only relies on himself, there is no way to sneak into the warehouse secretly.
But Lin Lie quickly frowned a little worriedly: "The key is easy to take, but how can I return it?" I can't pay him back, that will only make them suspicious. ”
"It's easy to do." Lu Zhen immediately gave his own idea: "You just have to get him drunk and send him to the drunken pavilion in the county town for the night." The next morning, he woke up while he was hungover, and then took the opportunity to put the key back on him, and naturally everything was unconscious. ”
"That's an idea, but ......" Lin Lie looked embarrassed again, opening his mouth but not knowing where to start.
"What? Do you have any difficulties? ”
"The price of the Drunken Pavilion is not low, the small ......" Lin Lie said and lowered his head.
The Drunken Pavilion is a famous green building in the county, which not only has alcohol, but also beautiful women, and how can a poor hunter like Lin Lie afford to consume it.
Lu Zhen suddenly patted his forehead: "Look at my brain, don't worry, this money will be paid by me, and I won't let you break the bank." ”
"Thank you for the adult mercy!" Lin Lie arched his hand a little surprised.
Now that he had made up his mind, Lu Zhen did not delay, immediately turned around and went to the back office, rushed to his study and bedroom, found the money bag hidden in the cabinet by Lu Xianling, and took out a string of big money from it.
Looking at the heavy, several catties of money strings, Lu Zhen smiled bitterly, he was really not used to such cumbersome things. But after arriving in this era, he also saw silver in the treasury of the county government, and as for the outside, there was no silver circulating at all, so he could only accept the reality of this somewhat cheating father.
When he walked out with the cloth bag wrapped in the money string, he bumped into Cui Mei coming out of the side room. As soon as he saw him, he hurriedly squatted down and saluted: "Master." ”
"Hmm, it's Cui Mei." Lu Jin only said hello to her and hurried away.
Cui Mei was stunned when she saw it, and at the same time frowned: "Why is the master so strange lately, I don't see him come to see Miss, and he even looks like he's avoiding us." ”
"Cuimei, what are you muttering there?" A gentle voice sounded, but it was Chu Yunrong who walked out and saw her appearance.
"I ...... Miss, I just think that my uncle is a little strange, and he is very different from before. Cui Mei hurriedly stepped forward and said.
Chu Yunrong's willow eyebrows also gathered because of these words: "You say that, it's really hey." In the past, he would always find an excuse to disturb him, but he didn't come at all during this time, which was really weird. ”
If Lu Zhen heard this, he would definitely shake his head, sigh that a woman's mind is really strange, or say that a woman and a villain are difficult to raise.
