Chapter 343: The Turning Point Resumes

As soon as he thought that he had gotten on the thief ship, Lu Jinji felt cold all over his body, hating the meanness of the other party, but completely forgetting his greed and lust for power. At this time, it was not only this one thing that made him anxious, but also the unfavorable events accumulated over the past few days, which made the situation he was facing a great tension, whether the strike could continue, how could his son be rescued if he was arrested, and how could the loss be minimized......

After thinking about it, Lu Jinji seemed to put aside his previous doubts and entanglements, after all, there is no evidence for many things, and the man in black would not be stupid enough to be caught by Li Xin, so why bear the psychological burden that should not be borne by him?

Lu Jinji, who had been planning all night, called his henchmen and gave him detailed advice......

When Li Xin learned that the grain was burned, he immediately became vigilant, he would not do such things, and Lu Jinji might not do it, for him, these grains would be the things of tens of thousands of people's households, and for Lu Jinji, it was white flowers, who could burn this? The answer seemed to be imminent, but the Three Guards had no clue at this time.

Li Xin did not blame Gu Shishi, but asked him to go all out to track down the real conspirators behind this matter, and he already faintly felt that perhaps the turmoil in Taiyuan City in the past few days, such as the boycott and arson, may not be without the shadow of those people.

Therefore, now the strike must be stopped, order must be restored, God left Taiyuan City with little time, time into June after still not a drop of rain, although there is a firepower water lifter-based irrigation system, but after all, it is not much help to the wheat in the field, this wheat harvest season is almost a foregone conclusion.

He was even more worried about how much grain in the granary of Beizhuang had been burned and how much could still be used. But after screening, the results obtained were disappointing, and more than eighty percent of the grain was inedible due to smoking and flooding. Even the rest is not enough to make food......

Thinking of this, Li Xin's brain suddenly had a short circuit, hasn't it rained since the beginning of the year, but yesterday it was obviously a torrential rain, and it also extinguished a strange fire......

At the same time that Li Xin felt strange about this heavy rain, the heavy rain had become a miracle in the mouths of the people of Taiyuan. God is finally opening his eyes, will yesterday's heavy rain mean that the drought season in Shanxi will end? Excitement and excitement are intertwined, and they brew into a wave of restlessness, faintly brewing in Taiyuan City.

Caring for the restlessness is implicit in both dissatisfaction with the strike and a prospect of the future. Because early this morning, the Taiyuan government issued a decree ordering all shops to resume the market as a whole, and at the same time announced the public trial of the eldest son of the Lu family.

The first decree was that the merchants did not pay much attention, but for the second, they all craned their necks and waited for the trial. Because the result of the trial will directly indicate the success or failure of this round of confrontation, if the eldest prince of the Lu family is convicted, the merchants in the city will no longer have to fear Lu Jinji, a toothless tiger.

It's just that the next development of the situation made everyone unbelievable, as if watching a drama with an amazing twist.

Lu Jinji separately complained to the political envoys, the Taiyuan Mansion, and even the Shanxi General Military Mansion, suing Gu 14, the former battalion officer of the Three Guards, and leading people to set fire to the granary of his other village to vent his personal anger. And the human and physical evidence is laid out in the same way, which only makes people feel that this matter is likely to be true.

In fact, as soon as Liu Lingyu, the political envoy of Shanxi, learned that the granary of Lujiabiezhuang was burned, he was already suspecting that Li Xin was behind this matter, but he never expected that Lu Jinji was really bold and reckless, so he dared to come out and tear his face.

According to common sense, Lu Jinji would never burn down his granary, even if there is a possibility of framing him, but at the cost of more than 200,000 stone of grain, it is too big, not to mention that this way of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 is definitely the next policy.

Therefore, when Lu Jinji sent someone to deliver the complaint, Liu Lingyu immediately confirmed the possibility of Li Xin's subordinates leaking personal revenge, and once again borrowed Jinyiwei from Li Yuefu.

This time, Li Yuefu was unwilling to be happily involved, he thought that the current situation was still difficult to determine, Lu Jinji had made sense on the surface, but he always felt a bit of a broken taste, he was unwilling to get involved in the internal fighting in Taiyuan City, and became a pawn and a victim.

"It's not for my brother to refuse, it's really unclear, you and my brother shouldn't be mixed up at this time, just sit and drink tea and watch the play, have you forgotten how big the turtle was eaten by the team officer surnamed Niu who arrested Li Xin before?"

Li Yuefu's mentality is understandable, he is just a messenger, and he can naturally leave and return to Beijing after he has done what needs to be done. Liu Lingyu is different, he can't wait to seize an opportunity to attack Li Xin, so as to gain more power that should belong to him.

Li Yuefu poured another basin of cold water. "Could it be that Brother Liu forgot Gao Shiming's warning?"

Gao Shiming once personally warned Liu Lingyu that Lu Jinji had an inexplicable relationship with the northerners, suggesting that he should not get involved, so he released the cow eggs and was ridiculed by the cow eggs. How could he forget about it?

"This time, that time. This time is completely different from the last time, even if Lu Jinji colluded with the northerners, he would definitely not burn hundreds of thousands of stone grains for this. Don't forget that the merchant makes a profit, even if he cooperates with the northerners just to seek profit, such a big sacrifice, no one can afford it. As long as Gu Shishi is arrested quickly, the truth will be investigated. At that time, Li Xin's words are difficult to argue, and no matter how true Brother Li is, even Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to save him. ”

After Liu Lingyu's hard work and several times of persuasion, Li Yuefu was finally moved. promised to cooperate with Liu Lingyu's actions, but there was one condition, he must first reach an agreement with Lu Jinji, and he must find a way to bring the case to the court together with the prosecutor. Only in this way can the ironclad evidence not tolerate the doubts of people with ulterior motives.

Taiyuan City was even more boiling, and many merchants who had already prepared to resume the market hesitated again when they learned that Lu Jinji had sued Li Xin's henchmen and reacted so strongly. And the people in the city had a lively watch and talked with after tea and dinner.

A large part of them even believed that Gu Shishi burned down the Lu family's granary in order to vent his anger, and some of them applauded, thinking that the people were happy and burned the ill-gotten wealth of the Lu family to give a bad breath to the people of Taiyuan. But there are still some people who think that this is Gu Shi's revenge, regardless of the lives of the people.

Someone scolded Li Xin for this.

Li Xin reluctantly threw the paper in his hand on the table, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Master Guo muttered with indignation on his face: "The kid surnamed Huang eats inside and outside, and the villain will send Lux to teach him a lesson!" ”

"Not necessarily! In your eyes, is Ben Shuai such a small person, who will repay him? ”

"This kid eats the general and drinks the general, and he dares to be so wild, it's unreasonable!"

Li Xin got up and came to the window, pushed the window open, and saw a dead peach tree, and suddenly turned around and looked directly at Master Guo.

"If one day, I, Li Xin, really do this, not only that Nan Lei, but even you will scold Ben Shuai, and everyone will be punished!"

When Master Guo heard Li Xin say this, he immediately panicked, waved his hand again and again, saying that it was impossible for him to do such a treacherous thing, and swore and cursed by the heavens and the earth, saying that he had no two hearts.

"If the villain Guo Binghuan has two hearts for the general, he will be thundered five times in the sky, shattered his bones, and hit the eighteenth layer of hell...... The general has an order, go up the knife mountain, go down to the oil pot, even if it is a rebellion, the villain is willing to drive! ”

Li Xin's original intention was that if he really did something illegal or harmful to the people of the world, everyone could scold him. But he never expected that in Guo Binghuan's eyes, it would become a temptation for him. He swore an oath not to say it, and even said such rebellious words as rebellion, which made him cry and laugh.

But Master Guo is by no means just talking, if Li Xin raises his arms and calls for a new dynasty, he Guo Binghuan will be the first to respond, "This matter should not be mentioned again, Nan Lei is quite courageous, he must be taken care of by others, food, clothing, housing and transportation must be taken care of by many people, and he must not be embarrassed, you know?" ”

Master Guo naturally nodded repeatedly, the general was tolerant and elegant, and he even made him believe that Li Xin was a person who had achieved great things.

"So, what about Lukingi's false accusations? The villain got the news that most merchants were going to resume the market, but after this repeat, the vast majority of people hesitated! ”

Li Xin sneered: "Most businessmen only look at profits, and it's not surprising that they are repeated, don't pay attention to it!" As for Lukingi, if you send him this letter, he will be soft! With that, he returned to the table and handed an unsealed letter to Master Guo.

Master Guo took the letter, stopped talking, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The general and the villain have a JianyΓ¬, I don't know if to say it or not!" ”

Here it is again, when Li Xin is most annoying, people always come to a prep word when they have something to say.

"Say!"

"For a despicable villain like Lu Jinji, why bother with such a move, it is better to cut through the mess quickly, arrest people, quarrel, and confiscate property. The situation in Taiyuan can be solved immediately, not only will it not be a problem for businessmen to resume the market, but the treasury will also be enriched a lot! ”

Without waiting for Li Xin to answer, Master Guo said again: "The villain knows that if the general uses thunder methods, he is afraid of frightening the world's merchants, and he does not dare to come to Shanxi, for fear that his property will not be guaranteed. But you also said that businessmen are profitable, as long as they are profitable, do you still worry that businessmen will not come? ”

Li Xin was noncommittal, and waved his hand to Master Guo. After Master Guo said all the things he wanted to say, he stopped persuading, and withdrew after giving the salute.

At noon that day, Lu Jinji received a letter sent by Master Guo, he had never dealt with this foreign trading company in the city, but he knew that this trading company specializing in foreign trade was rich and wealthy, and it seemed to have the secret support of the General Military Office, so he stood up for Li Xin when he announced the strike.

He opened the letter suspiciously, looked at it a few times, but his hand suddenly trembled, and the letter he was pinching at his fingertips almost slipped off......
