Looking at Wang Zhen's disapproving expression, listening to his resolute and indistinguishable words, if he had changed others, he would have been confused. But Lu Zhen was as calm as Mount Tai, and there was even a hint of a smile on his face, because he could see that this was just a bluff.

If Wang Zhenzhen didn't take Shi Hui's life and death to heart as he said, then he wouldn't be able to enter the gate of the Wang family at all. Just from the other party's willingness to see himself, you can see his intentions.

However, even if Wang Zhen was pretending to use this attitude to gain the upper hand in this conversation, Lu Zhen was not too alarmed, because he didn't just have Shi Hui as a bargaining chip. Faced with such a straightforward eviction order from the prince, he smiled: "When did the prince become so anxious, the lower officials haven't finished saying this, and you are in a hurry to drive people away?" ”

"Hmph, it's nothing more than what you used to trap a Dongchang boss. Don't say that you don't have the courage and ability to hurt him, even if you dare to do this, our family won't care too much, I have people available in Dongchang. So Lu Jin, you really miscalculated this time, it is impossible for our family to bend the law for personal gain because of such a person. "Well, Wang Zhen actually seemed to be very righteous and strict when he spoke. If someone who is not familiar with the identities of both parties comes, they will regard Lu Jin as a person who violates the law and discipline.

Lu Zhen looked directly into the other party's eyes, and said with a straight face: "Xiaguan believes that what you said is indeed sincere, but there is one thing I have to remind you of, the things committed by this Shi Juetou are really not small, and he is not the only one who is implicated!" ”

"Huh?" At this moment, Wang Zhen's face finally changed slightly: "Is there still someone who has fallen for your way?" ”

"Of course, otherwise, the lower officials' understanding of your father-in-law will not be boring." Lu Zhen said this with a smile. Then, in Wang Zhen's stunned moment, he walked to the chair on the side and sat down with a big smile. Since entering this flower hall, he has been standing and talking, and seeing that the other party did not mean to be polite, he simply sat down first.

Seeing his action, Wang Zhen's expression didn't change much, but the people around the Wang family all showed strange looks, this guy was too bold. You must know that anyone who comes to see the prince, whether it is a court official or anything else, even if Wang Zhen invites them to take a seat, they have to excuse themselves, and then carefully only half fart - on the chair. But this young man is good, and he sits steadily.

"It seems that you think you have captured the key point of our family." Wang Zhen's face has become solemn: "Then let's talk about it, what cards do you still have in your hand, and see if our family will be threatened by you." ”

Didn't you get cut off early in the morning, what should I catch? Lu Zhen thought of such a sentence with malice in his heart. Of course, if this kind of insult to the other party's flaws is likely to provoke his anger, he will not really say it. After only a pause, he said: "Since Xia Guan said that he wanted to do a deal with the prince and you, this matter is naturally related to a transaction in Dongchang." I don't know if my father-in-law knows what this refers to? ”

"Buying and selling?" Wang Zhen's face changed slightly, and he soon seemed to understand: "Ruyi Zhai? Lu Jin, you really have some skills, and you are really bold enough, you actually hit the idea here! ”

"My father-in-law praised it falsely, and the lower official just took this step out of helplessness." Lu Zhen seemed to reply modestly, but it was unspeakably harsh in the other party's ears, so that Wang Zhen couldn't help but snort to show his dissatisfaction.

Although as a powerful generation of eunuchs who are now powerful in the world, Wang Zhen has various means to grab property, and some people are willing to give away all kinds of money and treasures. But the greedy prince is not satisfied with this, he wants more, and this wishful fast is another way for him to make money.

And now, Lu Zhen actually used this to blackmail himself, which naturally made Wang Zhen very annoyed. But even so, he still didn't plan to give in, this is because the matter is big, and Ji Bin is a key layout for him to deal with the military department; Second, it was naturally because he refused to lose face because of this, and was coerced by such a petty official as Lu Jin.

So Wang Zhen quickly regained his composure, and showed a disapproving look on his face: "It's just a wishful Zhai, even if you destroy it, our family has a way to rebuild, do you think this can threaten me?" ”

"Father-in-law, it's not bad for you to say that. But...... Father-in-law, don't you ask the lower officials what method they used to control them all? ”

Lu Zhen threw out this question, which made Wang Zhen think deeply. He still knows Shi Hui and the people of Ruyizhai quite well and has confidence in them. With their ability, it is indeed difficult to catch them all, so subconsciously, he followed Lu Jin's meaning: "It's just some conspiracy, and it doesn't matter whether you know it or not." ”

"Really? If the subordinate tells the prince that they are involved in stealing the border defense map and are suspected of collaborating with the enemy, I don't know if the father-in-law will still think it is not worth mentioning? ”

"What?" Wang Zhen's body suddenly sat up straight, and his expression was much more serious and solemn than before: "What did you say?" ”

"The crimes they committed are actually the same as the crimes planted by Jinyi Wei against Ji Lang, as for how this will be dealt with by the imperial court, I think the prince should know better than me."

The muscles on Wang Zhen's face couldn't help but throb, his eyes became fierce, and he stared at Lu Zhen for a moment before he snorted: "Lord Lu, you are really clever in your means." ”

"Don't dare, the lower officials are just forced to use such carving skills out of helplessness. Compared to the factory guards under your father-in-law, it is really not worth mentioning. ”

"Hmph, what a sharp mouth." Wang Zhen heard the irony in his words and snorted unhappily.

Lu Jin saw that he was already a little panicked, so he continued to exert pressure while the iron was hot: "Maybe you don't know too well what all this means, then the lower official can tell you some of the consequences." Once the imperial court confirmed their crimes, the people of Ruyi Zhai and the crimes of Shi Juetou were naturally not trivial. But this is just the beginning, because many people will think of a question, since a dignified head of the East Factory will do such a thing, will there be no of his comrades in the East Factory? Maybe there are some people who are more hidden behind this matter. ”

Wang Zhen's face became more and more ugly, and he opened his mouth to say something, but it was a little difficult to say the words when he reached his mouth. Because even he felt that Lu Jin's inference was quite reasonable.

And Lu Jin's words were not finished, so he continued: "I think that with the wisdom of Hu Butang or those adults in the military department, on the premise of learning from the incident in Yujilang, I will definitely not miss such an opportunity." At that time, the entire East Factory will be attacked by the ministers because of this, even if the Son of Heaven trusts your father-in-law again, I am afraid that for the sake of the stability of the country, I have to strictly investigate the East Factory. As for what will be the result after the strict investigation, I don't think I need to say more, right? ”

Yes, Wang Zhenna knows how many dirty things Dongchang has done over the years, and it can't withstand any external scrutiny at all. Therefore, he must not let such a thing happen, because Dongchang is a powerful help for the extension of his power, and there must be no mistakes.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhen's whole heart beat a little anxiously: "The surname Lu, you really have some methods and eloquence, and you actually moved our family in a few words!" ”

Again, these methods are actually just small skills of carving insects in public. Of course, as long as it is easy to use, even a small insect carving skill can help. I don't know if in my father-in-law's mind, are these people and things enough to exchange my two conditions? ”

exchanging a Ji Bin for Shi Hui is indeed not a loss. But Wang Zhen quickly narrowed his eyes again: "Then you can talk about this second condition." ”

As soon as he asked this, Lu Jin's heart was convinced, and the other party already had the intention of compromise. It seems that I was indeed right to bet on this one.

In fact, he just wanted to use the same means to get rid of Ruyizhai's evil anger, but it was only later that Shi Hui, the head of the East Factory, was involved, so he temporarily changed the established policy, came up with more requirements, and even wanted to rescue Ji Bin.

And as far as the current results are concerned, his judgment is not wishful thinking, and the other party really complied. So he was no longer polite, and immediately said: "In addition to hoping that his father-in-law can let Jin Yiwei release Ji Langzhong safely and return him to his innocence, he just wants to ask his father-in-law to make a suggestion to His Majesty, that is, as I wrote in the previous song, open more fields in the north." ”

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, neither of Lu Jin's two requests was for himself, which made Wang Zhen a little surprised. But then, he paid attention to the other party's request to open up the field, and his expression changed several times.

Lu Jin's recital he has naturally also seen, and its intention is to maintain peace in the border areas and not to have a major conflict with the Mongolian people. And this, obviously, is contrary to what the prince has always wanted to do, which made him hesitate again.

But under the trade-off, it is obvious that the safety of the East Factory is more important, after all, this is the foundation of his power. After pondering for a while, Wang Zhen finally raised his head: "Our family can let Jinyiwei release people, but as for the latter request, we have to think again." ”

"Yes, the lower official can wait." Lu Zhen naturally understood that what he said to think about it was to find someone to discuss it and see if this matter could be done.

Wang Zhen was not polite, and immediately stood up, leaving Lu Zhen in the flower hall, and he went to another study and found a few of his staff......
