Daming prepares the emperor

When the crowd dispersed, the front of the yamen became desolate again.

The three of them returned to the lobby with their own concerns, and they all felt that the road ahead was full of obstacles. The emperor's gift of iron coupons for heroes was a great blessing to Zhu Liangzu, and it would undoubtedly make things worse for them.

If the people in Panyu County didn't dare to help them because of the power of the Luo family, then after realizing Zhu Liangzu's status, they would only become more afraid and refused to participate in the investigation and evidence collection.

"Is that iron ticket really a gold medal for avoiding death?" Song Shu couldn't help asking, "Is there no one who can stop him?"

"There is not much difference." Dao Tong said, "This is a special reward for meritorious officials. With this thing, unless the emperor personally orders to win the coupons, the rest of the ordinary officials are mostly helpless."

"Sigh." Song Shu sighed heavily, "What is the difference between this emperor and the previous dynasty?"

"Nonsense!" Daotong scolded very severely, "You and I can talk about the Holy One, Doctor Song. I don't want to hear it again in the future."

Song Shu was stunned.

After all, Daotong had a deep friendship with him, and he also knew that after he was injured, he was the only doctor in the city who was willing to heal him. His heart softened, and his tone became gentle again: "There is no such thing as a monarch in the world. Today, the sage is wise and powerful, and has made great achievements. It’s Mingjun. When the saints are still negligent, it is more common sense for the Marquis of Yongjia to confer titles based on his military exploits. Is there anything black or white in the world?”

Lu Jinai took a look at Daotong, thinking that this person is indeed unique, but his heart is too soft, although he is not false to the wicked, but he is a little soft in ordinary life, no wonder there is such an arrogant Zhou Bantou men.

Seeing that Song Shu's expression was still sullen and resentful, he didn't want to let the small team fall apart, so he pointed at the core and said, "Doctor Song, the duty of my ministers is to manage and educate the people for the court. Everything depends on the emperor, what use is there for us? Although the dukes and princes have a lot to worry about, it can't be solved in a day, nor can it be solved casually, you are too extreme."

"The old man can't say that you are officials." Song Shu got up angrily, "The crows in the world are as black, and you still defend the top, it's the master's ass, the master's life, you go fight yourself, don't bring me again Already!"

After saying this, he walked away in a huff and rushed out the door angrily.

Daotong subconsciously wanted to chase, but was caught by Lu Jin'ai: "Doctor Song is worried about your injury and won't leave. I guess he was just talking out of anger."

Sure enough, after going out, Song Shu just went from the lobby to the backyard.

"Oh." Dao Tong breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and sat down slowly, "Brother Lu, don't be angry, Doctor Song has always had such a temper."

Lu Jinai said: "I'm not angry. Langzhong is also a common man. It is right to know nothing about political affairs. The Yuan court did not conduct imperial examinations, nor did it know how to educate the people. Most of the generals who founded the country were self-made. They are used to indulgence and wantonness. , the road ahead is still long.”

Daotong nodded upon hearing the words that he had a long way to go. He believed that Lu Jinai already had the ability to participate in major government affairs, but he lacked the opportunity, and he did not mock him because of his humble status.

"I'm going to recall the yamen servant first, Tang Zun, you are injured, so stay here to write the official documents. With such a division of labor and cooperation, there will be no delay."

"Well, you must be more careful."

As soon as Lu Jinai came out of the Yamen, she was caught by the gangsters sent by the Luo family to guard her.

Seven or eight people surrounded him, and the leader said: "Isn't it the new county magistrate? I didn't know you yesterday, so I let you run away. I won't do it today. Come on, let's tie him up and send him to the master to receive him." reward."

"It's true that I'm the new magistrate, but I'm here to tell you one thing." Lu Jinai said, "Do you know the regulations of the imperial court? Official affairs are usually carried out by the county magistrate, but now that the new dynasty has just been established, there is a shortage of manpower, and nine times out of ten, the higher-ups will not send the new county magistrate."

"So what?" said the leader, "Daotong has been taken care of by Lord Hou. Even if you have the chance to become a county magistrate, you are just the next Daotong. Our master and Lord Hou are now in-laws. You Such a small person stomped a lot of people to death."

"What if I'm different from Daotong?" Lu Jinai asked.

"What's the difference?"

"I am willing to do what Dao Tong is not willing to do." Lu Jin'ai said, "I am not as obsessive as him, nor as hypocritical as him."

The gangsters looked at each other. They were clever people, but when they understood the meaning, their eyes changed when they looked at Lu Jin'ai.

Before they could open their mouths, Lu Jin'ai continued: "I just came here yesterday, and I don't understand the articles in Panyu County. I really asked Daotong for a while. Now that I think clearly, I won't be obsessed with it."

The hooligans raised by Luo's family were left behind for a while when they followed Lu Jin'ai yesterday, so they couldn't be sure how Song Shu got into the yamen. Hearing what he said, although it's not sure if the intention of coming here is true or not, but thinking of Panyu Considering the situation in the county, I feel that the surrender of the county magistrate is a wonderful thing to destroy Daotong.

"Then please meet my master before we talk." The leader said, "I won't tie you up, you follow us."

"I can't follow you." Lu Jinai said.

The leader just took a few steps, and immediately turned back after hearing the words: "You kid is playing tricks!"

"Your master is treating guests to dinner. Do you really think you should go see him now?"

"Then what do you want?" the leader said, "Are you still trying to convince me to let you go, believing that you will come back by yourself? Do you think I'm a fool? You read too many stories about fools in the storybook? You go back with me , stay in the gatehouse and wait together."

"Send me to the yamen servant." Lu Jinai said, "I left the transfer order of the official department in the hands of the team leader."

"You." The leader pointed at the younger brother beside him, "Go to the team leader and ask him if he has anything, and if he has anything, take it back."

"I want to go by myself." Lu Jin'ai said coldly, "No one can touch that piece of paper except me."

His request was inconsequential, his words were vague, revealing his intention to turn against him, but his attitude seemed to be killing someone, gradually the few people couldn't figure out the routine, only the leader was still sober, and asked bravely: "Why? "

"Do you think I look like an ordinary person?"

"Dress like that, and the rest..." The leader looked at Lu Jin'ai's callused hands, and also at his upright demeanor.

"That Eunuch Yang, his full name is Yang Gaomeng."

After Lu Jinai left Fengyang, she first worked in the headquarters of the Zhenyao Division for a period of time, and then went to the Ministry of Officials to apply for a transfer order from Panyu County. Because the transfer was unreasonable, and the person had no reputation or connections, she was rejected at first as a matter of course. It was Wei Zhongde who was passing by who interceded for him, and he succeeded. Thanks to him, and Lu Jinai was good at observation and had a good memory, so he happened to have heard about that eunuch.

The leader knew that Eunuch Yang's name was indeed this, he was shocked, and spontaneously added a lot of background for him, thinking that this is not a big deal, his tone softened, and said: "In that case, we should escort you there, Take the items and go back to Luo Mansion."

Lu Jin'ai didn't say anything more this time. The seven or eight people breathed a sigh of relief. They all felt that the argument just now was too torturous, so they led him to Bantou Zhou's house as if they were relieved.

The moment Bantou Zhou saw Daotong being thrown off his horse by the cavalry, he felt that he should stand in line.

That night, the yamen servants gathered together and went to Luo Youqian's house, found his butler to express their intentions, and promised that they would never listen to the Taoist order, nor would they go to the yamen for appointments, so they broke free from the whirlpool with peace of mind, The family ate and drank a lot.

This is also the reason why some gangsters are assured that Lu Jinai came to look for Bantou Zhou. Compared with Lu Jinai, who has no background, they believe in the character of Bantou Zhou, a resident - he is indeed a villain who adapts to the wind. He regrets his life and is a philistine.

Before entering Zhou Bantou's yard, a smell of alcohol wafted out, and the sound of rolling the dice was rumbled. There were at least five or six people inside.

Lu Jin'ai stepped into the yard, glanced over, picked up a flower pot and threw it on the ground.

After the crisp sound, everything was quiet inside and out. After a while, Bantou Zhou strode out with his arms bare, his cheeks flushed, and he said angrily, "Which grandson is making trouble here?"

"Uh, you are..." Zhou Bantou murmured, "The servants of the Luo family?"

"I was looking for you." Lu Jin'ai sternly said, "You took my baggage that day, and when you returned it, you lost the official documents. Where did you steal it?"

"Ah?" Bantou Zhou saw that Lu Jin'ai had brought people from the Luo Mansion, and thought that he had found a backer. He was very weak, but in the eyes of others, he seemed guilty, "Don't spout blood..."

"There is also a Banzhu Langhao pen that was given to me by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in that bag. I advise you to hand it over quickly."

"Pen pen, pen pen, what pen?" Ban Zhou stuttered.

Lu Jinai strode towards his room: "If you don't tell me, I'll search for it myself."

The most valuable thing in his bag are a few cakes. Where is there a pen? As soon as the front foot entered, the back foot closed the door. Just as the members of the Luo family wanted to chase in, they heard him scold: "No one is allowed to go out. It depends on where you are hiding, team leader, you come in, if you can’t find anything today, I will write to the court, saying that you destroy official documents, secretly hide the property of officials, cut off your heads, and no one will escape!”

Several people paused, stopped in place, and urged Bantou Zhou to get out quickly with their eyes.

Team leader Zhou walked in suspiciously and fearfully.

The people eating inside were all government servants, some were met by the gatekeeper that day, and some were unknown to Lu Jin'ai, there were fifteen of them here and there.

Their expressions were exactly the same as that of Bantou Zhou.

Lu Jin'ai cut to the chase and said, "Do you all know that Tang Zun was beaten by the Marquis of Yongjia?"

Everyone nodded hesitantly.

"I can tell you very clearly, you wait to beheaded."

"Ah?" Bantou Zhou hadn't recovered from the series of news, and was in a cold sweat after being decapitated, "Why?"

"The matter has come to such an extent that both sides are endless. You all know Tang Zun's character. He will not compromise, and the next thing is to die."

One person said: "What does this have to do with us?"

"The magistrate died for no reason, and someone from above will definitely come to investigate, why block the mouth of the world?"

"It's really murdered by Master Hou." Another person said, "It's none of our business, we can't blame it."

"You are registered government servants with names and surnames. It is easiest to get close to the magistrate." Lu Jinai said, "When the time comes to cast a scapegoat, will it be the Luo family or you? If you don't die, who will die?"

"You're scaring us." Zhou Bantou said, "We didn't scare us too much."

"Since ancient times, villains who have come to join the enemy have not had a good end. Feel your conscience and think about the folks in Panyu. Will you live a life of not being able to hold your head up in the future?"

Lu Jin'ai was standing at the back, eloquent and eloquent.

"The Marquis of Yongjia will stay for another month. After this month is over, if Lord Dao dies, he will come to a new magistrate. Regardless of whether the new magistrate will join forces with the Luo family or not, he will definitely not be able to tolerate you who betray the master. If you are fired, you will lose your status as yamen servants, your reputation will be stinky, and you will know the inside story of killing Tang Zun, how do you want to live?"

These words are deafening. Although Lu Jinai has her own purpose, her words are extremely pertinent and full of convincing power.

"I have the determination and courage to die." He continued, "If I try to die, I want to make some noise. Unfortunately, I really have something to do with the top, and I can really make a noise."

Zhou Bantou knelt down: "Can you save us?"

Others also knelt down.

"Not coming out yet?" The leader outside scratched his head, "Did this sum fall into the latrine?"
