Governor's Office.

Lin Zhongcheng is meeting with Lu Kuang, the head of the Lu family in Changzhou.

Lu Kuang visited today and was invited by Lin Run to thank him and the Gu family for their contributions in quelling the rebellion.

Of course, everyone knows that this is just a cover, and what we really want to talk about is something else.

Therefore, Gu Dashou, the head of the Gu family, sued the crime on the pretext of being unwell and never came to the appointment.

The two of them came together. If they were forced to express their opinions on the spot, wouldn’t they sit down?

There must be someone who can't come, so there is an excuse to make excuses.

~~

In the flower hall, the two sides had friendly and constructive conversations.

Lin Zhongcheng first expressed his deep apology to Lu Yuanwai and all the people of Suzhou for the adverse effects caused by this riot. He also expressed his sincere gratitude to Lu Yuanwai and others for their understanding of the righteousness and helping the government to quell the rebellion.

Mr. Lu sincerely praised the governor for quelling the chaos in a timely manner, handling it properly, and quickly restored normal order to the people's production and life. He also expressed that the gentry of Suzhou is willing to work with the government forever to contribute his strength to maintain the prosperity of Suzhou's stability and unity.

The two sides also exchanged sincere opinions and suggestions on topics of concern to each other.

Mr. Lu asked when Lu Shen’s family, who had been detained by the government for more than a year, could they be replaced with house arrest as promised?

Lin Zhongcheng said that the governor's yamen is trustworthy and responsible. He has ordered Zhenjiang Prefecture to escort him to Suzhou, and the government or the Lu family can arrange a house for him to live in.

Mr. Lu once again expressed his sincere gratitude to the government and Lin Zhongcheng for their care.

Lin Zhongcheng kindly reminded Mr. Lu that if they were to completely escape from their crimes, they would have to be pardoned by Lu Wei and uncle Lu Yi.

When Lu Kuang heard this, he was shocked and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Is there really a possibility of pardon for their uncle and nephew?"

Lin Run smiled but said nothing.

But Lu Kuang understood everything.

The first officer investigated Lu Bing's crimes during his lifetime. The reason was that His Majesty had long-standing resentment towards him, but Emperor Longqing was not so kind that he would not have arrested his brothers and nephews for a dead man, and his whole family was imprisoned, and his stolen property was not recovered.

Lu Kuang has always speculated that there is something hidden behind the case. Lin Run's smile obviously confirmed his speculation - there is someone else who wants to deal with Pinghu Lu's family.

Eighty-mostly, it is the tall beard who can make the emperor willing to cover him!

And Lin Run is the executor of Gao Gong's will!

No wonder it was a case in Zhejiang, but it was a case in the Lu family who wanted to be detained in Nanzhili.

Thinking of Lin Run taking the initiative to relax his custody of the Lu family, he was almost certain that the Pinghu Lu family has lost value to Lin Run now...

After pondering for a moment, Lu Kuang asked in a low voice: "How can the court pardon them?"

"First, we need to see whether they are willing to explain the issue truthfully, and second, we need to see whether Mr. Lu is willing to support the court." Lin Run said two conditions softly, and then looked at Lu Kuang with his eyes that could see through the hearts of the people.

Mr. Lu was playing drums in his heart and said with some difficulty: "Of course there is nothing to say about the first one. Only by confessing can one be lenient. But I don't know where the Han family needs to cooperate with Zhongcheng?"

"Of course..." Lin Run deliberately paused, almost suffocating Lu Kuang to death, and then he smiled and said, "Clear the land of the rice."

"Oh..." Lu Kuang breathed a sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and said, "It turns out that it is Qingzhang's land."

"Or what do you think?" Lin Run teased.

"I thought it was a solution to the silk sales route." Lu Kuang said embarrassedly: "I could think of a solution before, but now there is nothing I can do."

"Hahaha." Lin Zhongcheng laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, our hospital will not make things difficult for others. The Silk Sales is nothing to do with Mr. Lu."

"Really?" Lu Kuang was willing to hear this sentence.

"Of course, our hospital always speaks with spit and nails." Lin Run nodded.

"Then I will really not be a rosy if I refuse Zhongcheng again." Mr. Lu made up his mind and said, "Zhongcheng just needs to be assured to clear the land of Zhangzhang, and my Lu family will definitely cooperate."

"I would like to ask the official and Mr. Gu to tell you something. Our hospital also hopes to get his support." Before leaving, Lin Run smiled casually.

"It must be certain." Mr. Lu raised his head and stood up to say goodbye.

"I'll send a delivery to the outsider." Lin Run also stood up and sent it to the door, watching Lu Kuang's figure disappear in the Yuemen Cave, and then turned back with a smile.

~~

Today's conversation has achieved the expected results.

However, if someone else was afraid that he could only understand the superficial meaning, but he didn't know that the real meaning of the two was hidden in the next layer.

Just now, Lin Run said that the Lu family would help "clear the land of the Lu family", but Suzhou had already finished clearing all the land of the official land of the people under Cai Guoxi's leadership. What else can the Lu family help?

In fact, there is only one Songjiang mansion left in the ten prefectures of Yingtian. So Lin Run actually used "clearing the land of the squad" to refer to the Xu family. He also implied that he would only deal with the Xu family and not ask other families.

But as one of the nine great masters of the Lu family, Lu Kuang was of course worried, worried that Lin Run would deal with the Xu family by investigating and prosecutioning smuggling. In that case, the Xu family would be desperate and would inevitably involve them.

He deliberately said, "I thought it was to solve the silk sales route." In fact, he was asking Lin Run's attitude towards the smuggling case.

Lin Run made it clear that he could only check the land and not make trouble on smuggling cases, which gave the Lu family peace of mind.

That's why Lu Kuang agreed that in the struggle between the government and the Xu family, he would stand on the side of the government... Of course, it sounds nice, and it would be nice to be out of the matter.

However, if he could agree quickly and help persuade the Gu family to stay out of the matter, Lin Run was already content. What else should I force?

~~

As soon as he saw Lu Kuang away, Cai Guoxi came to ask for a meeting.

Cai Guoxi came to report the results of the interrogation. He excitedly submitted the file and said excitedly: "Zhongcheng, Xu Xu has all been asked!"

"What are you asking for?" Lin Run took the file calmly and looked it up calmly.

"I confessed that Xu Fan ordered him." Cai Guoxi replied.

"You're going to be tortured." Lin Run put down the file and looked at him with a smile.

"It's not that Zhongcheng has never seen how arrogant the Xu family is." Cai Guoxi said embarrassedly: "How can we tell the truth without torture?"

"If you use torture, you won't count." Lin Run leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and said: "Of course, you don't need torture. When Dali Temple reviews, he will also turn over his confession."

Xu Fan retains the third-rank crown belt. The decision-making power for cases involving officials at this level is not in the hands of the governor, and it is useless to have a flag of kings.

"Why are you busy with your feelings?" Cai Guoxi sighed depressedly.

"Didn't you beat him to death?" Lin Run laughed and said, "At least this anger has come out."

"It can only be said that it is half. If Xu Fan is not brought in, the subordinates will never be satisfied." Cai Guoxi gritted his teeth.

"Don't worry, our hospital will go back to Songjiang tomorrow." Lin Run stood up and patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Let us take good care of our hospital's home. This time, I will never return it if I don't destroy Loulan!"

"Don't worry, Chief Secretary, I'll come to see you again!" Cai Guoxi focused his head and made a poisonous oath.
Chapter completed!
