Niu Dan followed Li Xin's instructions and closely monitored every move in the lender's house, but he acted as usual for two days in a row. It's not that there are no ghosts in this family, but the movement is artificially big, and even if there are ghosts, no one dares to come out to move. The people of the political envoy did not dare to confront it, so they came to fight against Niu Dan, and sent 100 people to live here, and stirred up the outside of the lender's house as lively as a vegetable market. Even those who have had a good time with the money lenders do not dare to come back to seek bad luck.

Niu Dan jumped to his feet angrily, but he had no way to take the people who were appointed to the Inspectorate, so he had to obediently go to Li Xin to receive the punishment. Li Xin didn't blame him when he learned about it, whether it was a coincidence or not, whether the political envoy Si was secretly stirring up the situation, was it intentional or unintentional?

The entanglement with Liu Lingyu was soon replaced by another incident, and when the soldiers came to report, it turned out to be Lu Jinji who took the initiative to ask to see him. Niu Dan was indignant, "This is a demonstration to us, the general asked An to clean him up!" ”

Li Xin stopped him, since Lu Jinji dared to come, what did it matter if he met him? I want to see what the idea of this thing is, his patience has been gradually polished, and he has hit the wall several times, but it has given Li Xin a new revelation, after a few rounds of competition, everyone must have known who the opponent is, instead of always making small moves behind the scenes like the other party, it is better to spread out and sue the other party, the general military office is targeting them, and under the pressure of checking them, he does not worry that he will not make mistakes.

After a while, I saw a wealthy man in his forties striding in, dressed in exquisite cloth and wearing a six-in-one hat on his head, and bowed to Li Xinshen.

"I've heard the prestige of the general for a long time, but it's a pity that I haven't had the chance to see it, but today it's finally a pity!"

After hearing too much of this kind of insincere opening remarks, Li Xin nodded indifferently, and ordered his soldiers to move a chair and invite him to sit down. Lu Jinji was not polite, and Da Ra sat up sincerely, much calmer than the attitude of the Shanxi officials when they saw Li Xin, and the so-called aura and bearing were nothing more than that.

Li Xin was not in a hurry to speak, but waited, waiting for Lu Jinji to speak. It was cold for a while, Lu Jinji's face seemed to be a little embarrassed, he cleared his throat, stopped going around the corner, and said bluntly:

"The general was ordered to shepherd Shanxi, and all walks of life in Shanxi were jubilant and trusted, but in recent days, the market has been in turmoil, and the people's lives are hard, and we and other businessmen are almost unable to make a living.

Not only did the thief shout to catch the thief, but he was also arrogant, Li Xin remained silent, and said in his heart: I asked you to send a message to order Taiyuan to resume the market, and you can agree. But I still couldn't figure out what this thing was going to do, so I decided to wait and see.

"Hmm", which is a response.

Seeing that Li Xin didn't seem to be reflecting, Lu Jinji aggravated his tone and said: "The market is not quiet, the people are not happy, isn't the general in a hurry?" ”

The cow egg standing on the side couldn't hold back, and sneered: "It's unreasonable for you to speak, Taiyuan City is doing this, and it has nothing to do with your surname Lu?" In my opinion, except for your scourge, Taiyuan is naturally peaceful in the world. ”

"You, you, what are you talking about, Taiyuan City is in chaos, and Lu is more anxious than anyone else. Besides, how can Yi Lu have such the ability to call the wind and rain? The general didn't torture Lu! ”

Then the conversation changed, his face turned cold, and he said to Li Xin:

"Is this what the Great General meant?"

Lu Jinji is full of aura, comparable to a scholar of the dynasty, I don't know how big an official he is, but in fact he is just a businessman. Li Xin looked directly at this person, and he finally figured out the purpose of this person's coming, in order to demonstrate, that is, to tell him Li Xin, without him, even if he has a heavy army, he has to shrink his tail.

"Oh? Are you questioning Ben Shuai? ”

"Don't dare, it's about the well-being of the people throughout the whole process, don't dare not speak out!"

Seeing Lu Jinji's serious appearance, Li Xin, who had a flame in his heart, smiled instead, and an idea took shape in his mind.

"If Ben Shuai were you, you would only do one thing now."

Lu Jinji was stunned, he didn't expect that Li Xin didn't seem to eat his own set, not only was he not angry, but he didn't even speak in a hurry, as if he had never put himself in his eyes, which couldn't help but make his tone a little hurried.

"What does the general mean by that?"

"If this handsome person is you, go home immediately now, pack your bags, leave Taiyuan, leave Shanxi, and never come back!"

"You ......"

Lu Jinji pointed at Li Xin, and his demeanor and tone had long since lost the false disguise he had when he first entered the hall. However, he didn't understand whether Li Xin's words meant that it was true, Li Xin was calling him out and wanted to expel him from Taiyuan? He dares, borrow a few guts from him, I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability.

Then there was a snap, and Lu Jinji stood up from his chair in fright.

I saw Li Xin slap the table with his right hand and shouted, "Where are the cow eggs?" ”

"The eggs are here!"

Li Xin pointed at Lu Jinji and said categorically: "The suspect Lu Jinji voluntarily surrendered and still detained him?" ”

Niu Dan was stunned for a moment, and then happily accepted the order, and thousands of people picked up Lu Jinji, threw him out of the hall, and gave orders to the soldiers on the left and right outside the door.

"The criminal Lu Jinji surrendered, was kidnapped, and sent to the gendarme prison, so that he could be served, and he must not be lazy!"

The suspect in Li Xin's mouth became a human prisoner when he got to the mouth of Niu Dan, and the word "waiting" also aggravated the tone, and the soldiers understood it, and held down Lu Jinji to tie him up, and the bones in his whole body were rattled, making him howl like a stupid pig.

"Li Xin, you dare to ...... without permission"

Some of his own soldiers had already prepared rags, stuffed them into his mouth in a ball, and tightened them with ropes to prevent him from spitting out. Lu Jinji's eyes cracked, and he could only let out a whining sound.

Niu Dan was extremely excited, and returned to the hall to ask Li Xin how to deal with this guy, but Li Xin confessed that he must not hurt this person, and he must live well.

This puzzled him.

"If he is arrested, he should be severely punished, let him recruit the charges, sign and detain, who would dare to make noise?"

Li Xin smiled, and did not object, but explained it and let him do what he said.

On the same day, a piece of news exploded like thunder, blowing up the whole city of Taiyuan. Master Lu surrendered to the General Military Mansion, admitting that he had instigated the boycott and forged the title deed of Zhang Ge's hometown to occupy the land.

The news was first transmitted by the miscellaneous servants of the General Military Office, saying that they had heard Lu Jinji turn himself in, and that he had seen it with his own eyes being kidnapped and taken away by Li Xin's personal soldiers.

Immediately there were doubts.

"How is that possible? Isn't Master Lu crazy? He will start the boycott of our whole city, and he will not confess his sins unless the ghost is on his body! ”

"Shhh, it's good that we know about these things, but don't tell the truth!"

Someone analyzed: "We didn't see it if we pleaded guilty or not, but Master Lu went to the barracks in the south of the city but we saw it with our own eyes, and it can't be fake." Ah, there is something to see, wait and see, everyone will wait and see. ”

As the rumors of Lu Jinji's surrender spread and fermented in Taiyuan City, people seemed to be suppressing faint excitement and anticipation in their hearts. Finally, early the next morning, "Taiyuan Afternoon News" broke the convention of selling at noon and published it for sale early in the morning.

It devotes a large chapter to detailing Lu Jinji's surrender, how he forged the title deed of Zhang Ge's old house, and how he used means to instigate the city's merchants to boycott the market, and made a deep reflection and review of his own behavior, expressing his willingness to take full responsibility for this matter, and he is willing to bear the losses caused to all households. Next, the "Taiyuan Afternoon News" borrowed Lu Jinji's confession from prison to persuade everyone to stop the boycott, resume the market, and not go against the government.

At this time, the official background of the "Taiyuan Afternoon News" was known to everyone in Taiyuan City, and the various official news published on it was equivalent to the mouthpiece of the government. Even if it is hard to believe, people have already reported it conclusively, and the previous doubts seem to be dissolving bit by bit, but the government has not stood up for a moment to confirm this matter, and their hearts cannot fall lightly.

Soon, the people in the city who inquired about Lu Jinji's whereabouts learned from the servants of the Lu Mansion that Master Lu had gone out early in the morning, and sure enough, he had not returned yet, and the atmosphere in the mansion was not normal, and it seemed to be very tense. The heads of the Zhou and Wang families came to the door several times, but they were personally received by the eldest prince, and Master Lu never showed up.

The fact that the heads of the Zhou and Wang families visited the Lu Mansion at the same time is unusual in itself, and they were all received by the eldest prince of the Lu family, while the old man Lu never showed up, which is even more abnormal. As a result, people believe a little more in the rumors that Master Lu surrendered, at least everyone is eighty percent sure that Lu Jinji should indeed lose control of the situation.

The situation continued to ferment, and early the next morning, firecrackers suddenly set off on a street in the south of the city, which crackled for more than half an hour, and almost all the people in the city came to see the excitement. It turned out to be the opening ceremony of a shop, and a sharp-eyed person immediately recognized the shopkeeper who was standing at the door of the shop to entertain guests.

"Then, isn't that the self-immolating shopkeeper Gu?"

Many of the people who came to see the excitement were merchants themselves, and they had met this shopkeeper Gu even if they hadn't dealt with him, how could he dare to open again despite Master Lu's ban, and it was in the best area in the south of the city.

Someone else noticed the difference in the opening of the shop this time.

"Look, what's written on the banner that hangs down from the eaves?"

Only then did people notice that there were still words written on the dozen or so red banners. The person with good deeds read word by word: "Taiyuan Mansion Congratulations...... Opening of the ...... Shanxi according to the inspector Si He...... Chief soldier ...... of Shanxi Town"
