Chapter 170: Give Credit

The news that the city gate of Luoyang was closed for three days was only learned by Han Jian the next morning. When he heard the news, his first reaction was that the Empress had probably guessed what he was going to do. The Empress did not stop it, but reacted accordingly.

There was no need for the empress to remind her of some things, and Han Jian also understood that this was a plan with no way out. The implementation of the plan will force the Northern King to the path of rebellion, and the imperial court has long maintained a balanced and reciprocal relationship with the Northern King, and at this time, this balanced and reciprocal relationship will be broken by him.

Although he knew that the road ahead was dangerous, Han Jian did not have the slightest intention of backing down.

Before the morning passed, Han Jian personally led people to the Tingwei Mansion. On the streets, Han Jian could already feel the slightest desertion in Luoyang City, because ordinary people didn't know why the imperial court wanted to block the city gate, and rumors spread in the city. Some say that the Xianbei people have already called, have reached the edge of the Yellow River, and will go south at any time. Others said that it was the rebellion that was everywhere, and the imperial court wanted to hunt down the rebels and assassins in the city. Under the rumors, most of the people in Luoyang City hid in their homes and did not come out, and there were few vendors and people in the lively street markets on weekdays, but some grain and salt stores made a lot of money because of this. In the current turmoil, businessmen can always smell business opportunities.

Before Han Jian arrived at the Tingwei Mansion, the Tingwei Mansion was very lively. The new Tingwei Mansion Shaofu took office, the new official took office with three fires, and the lower officials and subordinate officials also followed the three fires, and everyone wanted to show a good hand in front of the new boss, so that the boss was impressed.

was about to enter the gate of the Tingwei Mansion, and Han Jian saw Lin Zhan. Lin Zhan stepped forward to salute, he was very sorry for the incident of bringing people to search the house yesterday, but he did not shirk his responsibility.

"Brother Lin is serious." Han Jian said with a smile. "As a matter of duty, even Lu Shaofu is not wrong in this matter."

Lin Zhan didn't expect Han Jian to be so generous, he was worried all night, for fear that Han Jian would not forgive him. He was still very grateful for Han Jian's promotion, and he also had an opinion that Lu Fengning wanted to search the annex of the East Palace, but after all, he was a subordinate official and couldn't be the master.

Han Jian smiled and said a few words to Lin Zhan, and then asked, "Where is Lu Shaofu now?" ”

Lin Zhan thought that Han Jian had come to settle accounts with Lu Fengning, and his face was slightly embarrassed, but he pointed to the back hall. Han Jian handled the case in the Tingwei Mansion. I also know the structure of the Tingwei Mansion Courtyard. There is no need for Lin Zhan's guidance at the moment. Han Jian took people to the back hall in person.

Not only is Han Jian familiar with the Tingwei Mansion, but the Yacha of the Tingwei Mansion is also very familiar with Han Jian. These officials do not care whether they have experienced yesterday's events or not. All of them dodged away with caution. I was afraid that Han Jian's anger would affect him. However, Han Jian didn't come to Lu Fengning to worry about anything. It wasn't until in front of the back hall that a small official came out to greet him when he heard the news, and his attitude was a little evasive.

"His Royal Highness the King of the East. You are ......" The little official had been assisting Han Jian when he was handling the case, and he knew Han Jian's resolute temper very well. At that time, when the corruption case was being tried, the king of the east did not even ask and beat him directly, and he was still beaten by the officials of the imperial court. Today, the king of the east came, and the one who came was not good, and he was already feeling sad that he had been sent out to block the drive. If the king of the east gets angry, won't he still take the blame?

"Can Lu Shaofu be inside?" Han Jian asked with a smile, "This king is here, I have something to do with Lu Shaofu." ”

The little official hesitated and said: "Back to Your Highness, Lu Shaofu is ...... He's on the wrong side and may have to come back later. ”

As soon as Han Jian heard it, he knew that this person was lying, this morning, he thought that everyone was him, so he didn't have to go to the yamen to work? If Lu Fengning was really not there, Lin Zhan would have said it when he was outside.

"Then the king will go in and wait." Han Jian said, ignoring the obstruction of the little official, and went directly to the back hall. But before he entered the door, he saw Lu Fengning come out with a dark face.

Lu Fengning seemed to have known that Han Jian had come to settle accounts with him, and when he saw that the little official couldn't stop him, he came out to greet him in person. In terms of attitude, Lu Fengning is not as rude as yesterday, but it is not much better.

"The king of the east came, but he changed his mind and wanted to take the blame for the next door? If this is the case, the king of the east only needs to send someone to spread the word, and he will do what he says, why should the king of Laodong come in person? Lu Fengning looked at Han Jian with a dark face and said.

Han Jian said with a smile: "Lu Shaofu misunderstood, in fact, yesterday's incident, this king understands what Lu Shaofu did very well, and he does not complain about Lu Shaofu. It's just that after that, this king also sent someone to investigate the matter and obtained some useful information, I wonder if Lu Shaofu can adopt one or two? ”

"Intelligence?" Lu Fengning was also a little confused, the king of the east came over to send information?

Han Jian continued to smile and said, "I wonder if I can go inside and talk?" ”

Since Han Jian didn't come for personal revenge, Lu Fengning couldn't stop him, so he made a gesture of invitation. Han Jian and him entered the back hall of the Tingwei Mansion with his front and back feet. Han Jian was not in a hurry to say, when he sat down, the people below brought the tea, and Han Jian leisurely brought the "information" one by one.

This information is nothing more than a hiding place for fugitives. When Han Jian said that it involved the official's mansion that harbored the fugitives, Lu Fengning almost took the case. In Lu Fengning's opinion, the East King was deliberately trying to entertain him.

In the end, Lu Fengning still couldn't sit still, got up and said angrily: "If the king of the east is angry about Zaixia's offense yesterday, just let Zai Xia apologize." Why do you have something to make it difficult to do? ”

Han Jian pretended to be puzzled and asked, "You say that, this king is also a little incomprehensible." This king personally came to report the case to Lu Shaofu, how can he be embarrassed? ”

Lu Fengning said coldly: "These ministers mentioned by the East King are all important ministers of our court, how can their mansions be searched lightly?" The king of the east wants to take revenge, and he will say it directly. ”

Han Jian didn't get angry and said with a smile: "What Lu Shaofu said is bad, and he is also a minister, so he should naturally know what it means to share worries for the country." Lu Shaofu went to the king's mansion yesterday, although the king was angry, but he also knew that Lu Shaofu was worried about the society, so he searched my mansion regardless of people's words. The heart of this king and Lu Shaofu is the same, they all want to find out those tumors that are dangerous for His Majesty. Lu Shaofu is so suspicious of this king, he can't help but have some villain's heart. ”

"You say I'm a villain?" Lu Fengning's attitude was extremely rude and said, "As King Dong said yesterday, what if you can't find a fugitive in these colleagues' mansions today?" ”

"If you can't find it, Lu Shaofu just needs to find one or two first, and then go to the door to search for it. If it does, then Lu Shaofu can just continue to search and search from the small official's mansion to the big official's mansion, so that Lu Shaofu will not be blamed by the empress? ”

Han Jian spoke very contemptuously, as if he was giving Lu Fengning a "support", but it was a good move, the persimmon first found a soft pinch, pinched him one or two, found that it was really easy to pinch, and then gradually picked a hard pinch.

Lu Fengning thought about it, this is a good way. Although it is possible that the East King came to take revenge on him and give him problems, it is undeniable that the East King may be telling the truth? If he didn't make a move, the king of the east would ask the empress to play, and he would get someone himself, and if he really got it, the empress would investigate him for his incompetence afterwards.

"Then I will first follow what the king of the east said, and send someone to check the mansion of several colleagues first." Lu Fengning said cautiously.

Since it is necessary to choose, it is natural to choose the most insignificant officials first. Fortunately, Han Jian also prepared a few soft persimmons for him to pinch.

"Do you need to be accompanied by this king?" Han Jian asked with a smile.

"The best...... Or are they together...... If no one can be found, the king of the east cannot be said to be doing nothing. Lu Fengning thought for a while.

Han Jianxin said that Lu Fengning is not stupid, if Lu Fengning can't find it after a while, he can also say that this is all instructed by the East King to push the responsibility clean. At that time, Lu Fengning can also show off his power in front of him Han Jian once, proving that Han Jian's information is fake.

"Lu Shaofu is not afraid that this king will rob the credit?" Han Jian asked again.

Lu Fengning frowned slightly, he didn't understand what he said. Is it true?

Lu Fengning said in his heart, how can this be true? How could the king of the east be so kind, if there was indeed such a thing, the king of the east would have personally entered the palace to report to His Majesty, and he could find out so many fugitives and the officials who harbored them together, what kind of credit would be given to him who had just offended the king of the east?

"The king of the east is inevitably the heart of a villain, and the belly of a gentleman ......," Lu Fengning replied.

Han Jian smiled and said nothing, this Lu Fengning is really impulsive and stupid. As the king of the east, he may come to the door in person to provide fake information and slap himself in the face? He didn't want to think about it, no matter how prominent Lu Fengning was, he was just a young master of a family of gate lords, but he was the vassal king of the six counties and seventeen states of Jiangdu.

Lu Fengning was "invited" by Han Jian this time to search the mansion, but he didn't seem to attach great importance to it, and only brought twenty or thirty yacha, plus Han Jian's entourage, there were more than forty people in total.

Before leaving, Han Jian said with a smile: "When I arrived at the place, Lu Shaofu sent someone in to search first, and then I just took someone to wait outside." ”

Lu Fengning, who was holding the portrait of a wanted fugitive with his subordinates, said in an unkind tone: "I know." ”

The group walked together, and soon arrived at the first one, which was also the mansion of a ceremonial department in the city. The surname of this Libu Langzhong is Song, and he has no deep background in the court. Lu Fengning felt that it didn't matter if he came to search, just because there were frequent cases of chaos in the party, as the young man of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, it was not legal for him to search for an official of the imperial court, but he also relied on his background, and he was a little fearless.

The main thing is that he still wants to plug Han Jian's mouth as soon as possible.

Before coming, Han Jian had already asked Mrs. Luo's people to stare at the official mansion that "harbored" the fugitive for twelve hours a day, and after confirming that the fugitive still hadn't come out after entering the mansion, Han Jian felt that it was okay and came over with Lu Fengning.

When he arrived at the gate of the Song Mansion, Han Jian did not enter, Lu Fengning glanced at Han Jian, and there was some contempt in his eyes. However, he quickly recovered and pointed to the door of the yacha under his hand, and the yacha went up and knocked on the door very politely.

When the people from the Song Mansion opened the door, the yacha were not so easy to get along with, and they went straight inside without even asking.

Han Jianxin said, what kind of general with what kind of soldiers, this Lu Fengning has only been in office for one day, and the officials of the Tingwei Mansion are so unscrupulous. This should also be Lu Fengning's "special teaching" to the people under him at the beginning of his tenure.

Lu Fengning did not go in person, but was outside with Han Jian. He thought that the search inside would be in vain, but he didn't expect that less than a stick of incense had just entered, he escorted a middle-aged man with a wounded face and a sluggish spirit to come out. Comparing the portraits, it is true that it is the fugitive.

At this moment, Lu Fengning's heart was completely confused. (To be continued......)
