Chapter 36 Cooperation
Lao Jun found that he was really a little angry, what I said was very sincere, he still didn't approve, this time the incident seemed to hit him very hugely, and it made him lose his sense of proportion, maybe his cautious and cautious nature made his vigilance against the Huoyue people reach an unprecedented height, and he didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool easily.

I looked thoughtful and asked, "I take the liberty of asking, has the murderer been arrested and imprisoned?" ”
"When Lao Shiyun fled, there were three carriages in the southeast, north and south three directions to escape, we blindly tracked indiscriminately, lost the best opportunity to pursue, now the sea capture documents have been issued, but they are hiding, if they have been hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." Lao Jun said distressedly, in the past, such cases were generally unresolved, but this time it was different.
The county magistrate must ask him to solve the case, I heard that there was no trace of Lao Shiyun, and even his Laozi's whole family was nowhere to be found, so he was even more furious and scolded, saying that the letter written to him by the county Sima had given him a deadline, his son was killed in Hailing County, and Hailing County must hand over the murderer, in the letter, the county Sima expressed his opinion that he was very suspicious of the governance of Hailing County, and if nothing was found, he would appoint the army to inspect Hailing County.
The county order was pressed by the county Sima, and he was furious, and there was nowhere to issue it, so he found him, the county lieutenant, and if he didn't solve the case, not only would it be difficult to protect it, but he might also have to suffer a lawsuit for poor handling of the case, which was the alarm bell that the county order sounded on him, a threat, and a deterrent.
Lao Jun has no background at all, and he became a county lieutenant completely by virtue of his excellent ability to arrest and investigate cases, not the children of wealthy nobles with an intertwined network of relationships, and the obvious county order this time is to find a scapegoat, and he, a county lieutenant with no background, has become the best candidate.
If you just throw away the black gauze hat, if you lose it, you will lose it, it is inevitable that people will have good and bad luck, but being persecuted because of a case that is not their main responsibility is unbearable, and where he is powerless to resist.
"Since there is no hope of arresting the murderer, and the deadline for solving the case is approaching, my lord has been a county lieutenant all these years, why not dredge it up and try his best to defend himself, this happened suddenly, and the adult is responsible for the ineffective handling of the case, at most he is just taking off the black gauze hat on his head." I've talked about the cause and effect.
"It's just as simple as taking off the black gauze hat, the son of the county Sima was killed casually, and now that the murderer has not been caught, someone must pay the price, this is what the county commander revealed to me." In the end, Lao Jun felt powerless and worried.
"Although the county Sima has a respected status in Donghai County and cannot be violated, however, Sima still has Taishou on his head, and there are also county officials and lords of Donghai County below, if they can ask for a few words, they will help to say a few words, and the matter can be solved if the big thing is turned into a small matter." I don't know why I felt parched and wanted to drink water, but the county lieutenant Lao Jun didn't even invite me to sit down.
Lao Jun thought for a while, looked at me still standing in the hall, and couldn't help but say, "Please sit and talk, go and ask the maid to serve tea and snacks." ”
Not long after, the maid who was called Ying brought tea and snacks, but I was not in the mood to drink tea and eat snacks, which looked extremely rough.
"Now that you know my troubles, you said that you can get rid of my troubles, this matter is not as simple as empty words, and it is nonsense to try to resolve this matter in a few words." Lao Jun said coldly, rubbing a scar on the back of his right hand.
I chuckled, pulled the corn flour from the big basket, and suddenly, a gold-painted red box panel came out, my finger was inserted into the bottom of the box, and the box was lifted, and the corn flour was sprinkled all over the ground, and the box was opened, and the yellow golden light was dazzling all over the room, which was moving.
"I don't have a good way, only this box of gold coins to help the adults go to Donghai County to open up the situation." Lao Jun's expression is no longer inseparable from the box of gold coins, hundreds of gold coins, isn't this what he lacks, he didn't think about using money to settle this matter, it's just that he has been a county lieutenant for so many years, and his savings are really not much, and there are more than a dozen gold coins, however, what can these dozen gold coins do, the adults of Donghai County who are above the top will not offend the county Sima who is only so high in status as a Taishou for a dozen gold coins.
However, now that there are hundreds of gold coins, the situation is different, isn't it just to exonerate him and say a few good words, you can get hundreds of gold coins, how can there be such an easy transaction in the world, maybe you won't offend that county Sima, this risk is still risky.
"You still have so many gold coins, it's really unexpected to me, last year I heard that your military camp was all killing horses to satisfy hunger, it seems that you did it on purpose." Lao Jun retracted his greedy gaze and said calmly.
"County Lieutenant Lao, if we hadn't offended that powerful prince and wouldn't have fallen to this, some things are not what they seem, and bad luck has always been haunted." I said with my ambition high.
"I have to say that you Huoyue people are indeed natural warriors, and they are worthy of the royal family of the former dynasty that once established the Huoyue Empire, however, as you said, that powerful prince, you and I can't afford to provoke you, if I take your gold coins, you are bound to ask me to do things, I think it's better for me not to take these gold coins, I'm afraid I can eat it, I can't chew it." Lao Jun remembered that the county order had told him that no one was allowed to help the Huoyue people if he had a secret order, and if anyone violated it, he would be severely punished.
"County Lieutenant Lao, the matter is not so serious, we Huoyue people are not no one in the court, we have been working hard, and we will be able to return to the royal capital one day, otherwise, there are hundreds of us, and the prince directly sent an army to exterminate it, why bother to get our Huoyue people to this extreme east pass, if County Lieutenant Lao, you just secretly provide us with a little convenience, and you don't know it, what risk do you have." I said indifferently.
Lao Jun fell into deep thought, he couldn't catch the murderer, the county Sima's revenge must be vigorous, and it is hard to say that he can escape the catastrophe at that time, although he is only responsible for the ineffective handling of the case, however, if the county Sima really kills him in anger, I am afraid that he will be killed in vain, otherwise the county magistrate will not be so restless and anxious.
"My conditions are very simple, we want to buy food from your Hailing County, we need the convenience of the county lieutenant Lao, and these gold coins are the deposit in advance, and there will be remuneration in the future, although you can rest assured that this matter will not be easily exposed, as long as it is hidden, even if it is known, there is no handle in the hands of others, it is still fine, not to mention that it is just smuggling some grain." I said in a big way.
"There's just one request, nothing else." Lao Jun couldn't help but be moved.
"What we Huoyue people lack now is food, and we have nothing else to ask for." I told you in a serious way.
Lao Jun fell into hesitation again, which made him very difficult to decide, the calamity he faced seemed to be very light, but in fact it was full of variables, his transaction with the Huoyue people seemed to have serious consequences, but in fact, the risk was very low, you can give it a try, maybe you can turn evil into good fortune, and from then on.
"If Lieutenant Lao is always worried that the serious consequences will happen, then I don't force it, everyone has their own ambitions, and I will find someone else." I no longer waste it, and blindly whisper to the bottom of my breath, but it backfires.
"Let me think about it." Lao Jun turned his back and looked at the main wall of the hall.
"County Lieutenant Lao, I still have something to do, so I'll leave for the time being." After speaking, I left without looking back, if the county lieutenant Lao stopped me to take the gold coin, then I no longer have hope for him, if I didn't stop me, then the deal was done, my heart couldn't help but mention my throat and eyes, if he stopped taking the gold coin, I don't know if anything will happen next, it's best if he doesn't stop me.
It wasn't until I walked out of the gate of the county governor's mansion that I breathed a sigh of relief, and then, without stopping at all, left the county governor's mansion. At the place where I agreed with Dashan Lao Scale, I found them, and after meeting them, I didn't say any nonsense, and ran directly out of the county seat and returned to Lao Shengkun's village.
