Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, put down the teacup in his hand, and pointed out the window: "My nephew, do you think the scene in this canal is prosperous?"

When Lu Yuan asked such a question suddenly, not only Wang Shouren, but also Xie Shen was stunned.

This Mr. Lu really knows how to be gentle. Wang Shouren just asked a question that was difficult to answer, so he wanted to cover it up with other topics.

"The water of the Canglang is clear and can wash my tassels. The water of the Canglang is turbid and can wash my feet."

Before Wang Shouren could answer, Lu Yuan immediately followed up.

As soon as these words came out, Xie Shen already had a solid foundation in his heart.

This Lu Yuan seems to have been deeply involved in the case, and he is complaining about the prosperous scene of the canal.

Wang Shouren also seemed to hear the deep meaning in Lu Yuan's words, but he still didn't know how to answer.

"It doesn't matter if the canal flourishes or not."

Wang Shouren finally chose the safest answer.

He paused for a moment, then cupped his hands at Lu Yuan and said, "In my nephew's opinion, as long as this canal can feed thousands or even tens of thousands of people along the coast, it is a great merit."

Lu Yuan's originally gloomy face became radiant. He nodded frequently and said, "Nephew is right. In the past, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the canal for the benefit of future generations and for the great cause of the future. But he was too eager for quick success."

Lu Yuan was very satisfied with Wang Shouren's answer, so he picked up a pen and wrote an ink word on the desk and handed it to Wang Shouren.

Xie Shen glanced at it, and saw a huge "He" character in the middle of the paper, which was very conspicuous.

Wang Shouren thought for a moment, then picked up a pen and wrote the word "Salt Transport" under the word "He".

Xie Shen has been observing Lu Yuan's expression, and found that Master Lu, who has always been calm, has a flash of panic in his eyes.

It's just that this panic was quickly covered up by Lu Yuan himself. If you don't observe carefully, you won't be able to discover it.

It seems that Xie Shen's previous deduction is correct. Lu Yuan is indeed the key person in this case, and may even influence the final development of the situation.

"Please tell me the details."

It was very rare for Lu Yuan to give Wang Shouren a chance to make a statement. Naturally, Wang Shouren didn't dare to take it too seriously, so he told Lu Yuan exactly what happened.

What a shrewd person Lu Yuan was, after hearing Wang Shouren's statement, he didn't reply immediately, but stood up with his hands behind his back, and started pacing in the cabin.

Sometimes no result is the best result.Because there is no result, at least it will not disappoint.

After about a cup of tea, Lu Yuanfang turned around and said to Xie Shen indifferently: "I will help you with this matter, but my nephew also needs to follow what the old man said."

Wang Shouren was already disheartened. Now that he heard that Lu Yuan was willing to help, he didn't even bother to think too much. He immediately saluted Lu Yuan and said, "Thank you, Uncle Shi. If you have any requests, just ask my nephew. Nephew will do his best."

Lu Yuan shook his head and sighed: "It's not about doing your best, nephew, you need to do your best. The strength that I can use in this matter is limited, so I can only do my best and obey the destiny. But if you are a nephew, you can't provide for the old man." With enough support, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rescue your uncle. I might as well tell you that whether this matter can be done is not up to the old man, and certainly not to Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Whether your uncle can be successfully rescued depends entirely on A word from His Majesty."

Lu Yuan did not shy away from talking about all the joints to Wang Shouren, because he was certain in his heart that Wang Shouren would not seek help from others.

It's just that in Xie Shen's view, they are a little passive in this way.

"Please tell Uncle Lu clearly."

Lu Yuan clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "You know that Jiangnan salt transportation and water transportation are the two fattest errands, and how many people squeezed their heads up and down trying to get these two errands, but the end result is all in vain. return."

Xie Shen was naturally deeply touched by Lu Yuan's words.When he studied Ming history in his previous life, an important research direction was the water transportation and salt transportation in the Ming Dynasty.

Take the salt transport as an example, not only was it supervised by court officials like the salt transport envoy, but its model was more like a model of government supervision and private management.Not to mention anything else, Yanyin alone blocked the possibility of all outsiders squeezing in.In other words, if there is no Yanyin, if you want to get involved in Yanyun, you are looking for death.

"Salt Transport Envoy Lu Zhongjing is guilty, but the crime does not warrant death."

After a short pause, Lu Yuan continued: "Your uncle Wang Su is a deputy, so the crime is naturally lighter. As long as you can produce evidence to disentangle the relationship with this case, you can naturally rescue him from prison."

The reason why Lu Yuan agreed to mediate for Wang Shouren was not because of his family friendship, but because of what Qiao Zhenqiao, the Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town, said.

Qiao Zhen once made it clear that Shouningbo Zhang Heling and the Empress were very dissatisfied with Liu De's trial results and asked for a new trial of the case.

Liu De dealt with it impartially, and participated in the seventeen major crimes of the salt transport envoy Lu Zhongjing. As soon as this book was sent to Beijing, there was an uproar.

Lu Zhongjing is a member of Zhang Heling, and Liu De's participation in the performance is a blow to Zhang Heling's face.Lu Zhongjing is certainly guilty, Zhang Heling must be very clear about this.However, Lu Zhongjing has been in the position of Salt Transport Envoy for so many years and has given Zhang Heling countless benefits. Zhang Heling must try to save his life.However, this Liu De is so ignorant that Lu Zhongjing's seventeen serious crimes are listed in the memorial to His Majesty, and every sentence is punishing.

In any case, with things going so far, Lu Zhongjing's position as a salt transport envoy cannot be kept.Zhang Heling definitely does not want such an important position to fall into the hands of his opponent, so he needs to find a candidate.

Although Qiao Zhen didn't tell Lu Yuanming what he meant, he had already realized what a shrewd person Lu Yuan was.

Wang Su is Lu Zhongjing's adjutant, and he must have first-hand evidence in his hands.If Wang Su can hand over these evidences, not only can he clear himself up, but he can even make a contribution.

Of course, what Shou Ningbo wants to see most is to kill three birds with one stone. He not only saves Lu Zhongjing's life, but also keeps the candidates for the salt transportation envoy in his hands. It was an illusion that Liu De wrote a letter to play Lu Zhongjing because of his personal grievances.

In fact, Lu Yuan was entangled in his heart.If he just participated in Liu De's performance, he would naturally accept it, but if he poured dirty water on Liu De's body and called the crime that was not his crime a crime, Lu Yuan would find it difficult to accept it.

But the benefit brought to Lu Yuan by doing so must be far greater than that of bluntly speaking. Lu Yuan has been in the position of deputy inspector for many years. Now that he finally has the opportunity to be promoted, he naturally does not want to let it go easily.
