One thing to watch out for when dealing with smart people is never to be smart.

Xie Shen took a deep breath, with a serious expression on his face.

It was really unusual for Lu Yuan to be able to judge the position of the deputy envoy, and he could see that the two of them had something in mind.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand.

With Wang Shouren's personality, he would not return to Yuyao without important matters.

Lu Yuan probably smelled something unusual from the very first moment he saw Wang Shouren, but he still couldn't figure out the real purpose of Wang Shouren's return to Yuyao.

As for Xie Shen, I'm afraid Lu Yuan didn't dare to be interested at all, and just mentioned it incidentally out of politeness.

"Returning to Shi Bo, my nephew and brother Shen Xian were about to go to Hangzhou Mansion, but they were stopped by soldiers at this pier, saying that there were high-ranking officials passing by, and the river course was blocked according to the regulations. Only after some inquiring by the two of us did we know that it was Shi Bo. Uncle's boat is driving, so naturally he is waiting here."

Wang Shouren's words were watertight, and Xie Shen was not disappointed.

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "In that case, you two should go with the old man."

"Thank you Shibo!"

"Thank you, Master Lu!"

Both of them bowed their hands together to thank Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan nodded his head as he accepted the gift.

The three walked into the cabin, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the river bank while eating pastries.The official ship that Lu Yuan was on was much bigger than the "Sanmingwa" that Xie and Wang had before.The cabin is not only suitable for resting, but also holding a small banquet is not too much.

Of course, at this time Lu Yuan was not in the mood to invite singing girls to enjoy the music of silk and bamboo orchestra.Qiao Zongqi of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi had passed him, and he, the deputy envoy of the inspector, had to write the first memorial to the governor Liu De.

Although Lu Yuan is not a saint, he has always tried his best to maintain the image of a Confucian official.

He and Governor Liu De still have a long personal relationship, and even arranged a marriage for the younger generation in the family the year before last.Once his eldest son, Lu Xiangjinshi, is admitted to the imperial examination, he will marry Liu De's legitimate daughter.This marriage, which in the eyes of others is the most well-matched marriage, will definitely not take place now. The reason is that Liu De's temper is too upright and he has offended too many people.

The case of Lu Zhongjing, the salt transport envoy, was just a pretext. Now that both Jinyiwei and Dongchang are watching, they must pull out one person to top the vat. Liu De was the chief judge of the case at that time, and he must be the best one to top the vat. Candidates.

Lu Yuan's official life has been ups and downs for many years, and he has already seen the joints in it, so naturally he doesn't want to involve himself in it.As for the marriage contract between the two juniors, it can only be terminated at this point.Even if Lu Yuan's spine was stabbed violently in the back, he must not make fun of his family's fate.

After Jinyiwei North Town Fusi Qiao Zongqi left the Lu family's old house, Lu Yuan also thought about it for a long time.Why on earth did the Jinyiwei people stare at him.In the end, Tai finally realized that Jin Yiwei's people also took a fancy to his personal relationship with Liu De.It must be more convincing to stand up and report Liu De's misdeeds as a close friend of Liu De.

In the officialdom, there has always been intrigue, and Lu Yuan has been coerced by Jin Yiwei's people at this moment, so naturally he has no other choice.

Standing in front of him, there are only two choices, one is to die with his in-law Liu De, and the other is to report Liu De for stealing his life.

As long as they are normal people, they will choose the latter.Likewise, Lu Yuan was not ashamed of his choice.

Green Zijin, Youyouwoxin.But for the sake of the king, I have been pondering it so far.

Lu Yuan didn't want to be a simple person, but in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, such a person had no future at all.

Even if Lu Yuan didn't think about himself, he had to think about his children and the 100-year-old Lu family.

Sometimes people are so helpless, but this choice must be made
The waterway from Shaoxing to Hangzhou is very smooth, and the boat lanes become busy after entering the canal.

It has been nearly a thousand years since the Grand Canal was excavated and built by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. It has been diverted and built several times, but the main body is still preserved.

After entering the canal, Lu Yuan could no longer order the canal to be blocked.Otherwise, if he missed the water transportation, he would not be able to bear the crime.

Those old folks at Yushitai are not fuel-efficient lamps.Their task is to participate in the officials, and it's okay to let them catch the handle.

What's more, now is an extraordinary period, and Lu Yuan himself will participate in Liu De's performance. If someone from Yushitai seizes his personal virtues and makes a comment, this big event will have to follow suit.

There are countless ways for literati to deal with literati, but in the final analysis there is actually one, and that is to ruin your reputation.

As long as the reputation is bad, it will be much easier to concoct a crime.

Lu Yuan, who is well versed in the rules, must act cautiously. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as walking on thin ice or facing an abyss.

"Shi Bo returned to Hangzhou Mansion this time, but for business?"

Seeing Lu Yuan's solemn expression, Wang Shouren took the initiative to break the quiet atmosphere.

"Well, the old man rested for a few days, and it's time to go back to the Chasi Yamen to handle official business."

Wang Shouren also knew that Lu Yuan was actually in charge of the inspector after the old inspector Qi Kegu left office, so he nodded and said, "So, my nephew has a request, and I ask the uncle to fulfill it."

Hearing this, Xie Shen's heart sank.

Finally, the critical moment has come, and it depends on whether he and Wang Shouren can successfully rescue Wang Shouren's uncle Wang Su this time.

There are not many contacts they can manage, and Lu Yuan is undoubtedly the easiest to contact.If even Lu Yuan refused to help, Wang Suke would really be sentenced to death.

The most important thing is that Xie Shen had personally witnessed Qiao Zongqi from Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town going to Lu Mansion to have a secret talk with Lu Yuan.As for the content of the secret conversation between the two, he certainly didn't know.

But one thing is certain, when Jin Yiwei came to Shaoxing to investigate the case, he couldn't avoid Lu Yuan!

If Lu Yuan could connect Wang Shouren and Jin Yiwei, and Wang Su could provide useful evidence, it would not be impossible to rescue him from prison.

It's just that Wang Shouren can say something, but he can't.Wang Shouren said it was true temperament, because the Wang family and the Lu family are family friends.But if Xie Shen were to say the same thing, the effect would be completely different, that is, Li Zi didn't know how to advance or retreat!

Although Xie Shen has left a good impression on many senior officials through his own efforts, he is also very clear that it is impossible for him to be completely trusted by these senior officials due to his current status from a poor family.

Lu Yuan treated him very well, but that was just an illusion of humility.

It's just that Wang Shouren was still a little anxious. It's not impossible to ask this question, but it would be more appropriate to wait until the Hangzhou mansion to ask.
