After waiting for almost half an hour, Lu Zhen saw Wang Zhen walking back with a gloomy face. Although he was a little unsure of the other party's thoughts, he still tried his best to remain calm and faced the other party with a determined smile: "I don't know how the prince thinks about it, can you agree to this deal that is beneficial to both parties?" ”

"Hmph, you're just using some unseemly means, don't be too complacent." Wang Zhen glared at Lu Zhen with some annoyance, and then continued: "But this time you did succeed, just according to your wishes, I will let Ji Bin go back later, as for the opening of the field, it is not so easy to do, and it will take a while to do it." ”

With just these few words, you can see how powerful the current prince is in the court. An almost convicted official, he can just say a word and let go. And a policy related to the safety of the border areas, he just casually agreed, as if all this seemed to him to be just a gesture.

Seeing that he finally agreed to his request, Lu Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. But at the same time, a strange thought arose in his heart, as if the other party was harboring some evil intentions in this matter. But after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't see any problems, so I finally had to thank you and leave.

Seeing Lu Zhen leave, Wang Zhen's eyes were even more faintly murderous: "If it weren't for the fact that our family is busy cleaning up the situation in the DPRK and China now, even if we fold the Dongchang today, we will have to get rid of you." But now that there's a new way, let's let you get away with it for two more days. ”

Just as Lu Zhen felt, in the process of going to the other side to discuss with some of his staff just now, Wang Zhen already had a good way to fight back against his demands......

When Lu Zhen rushed back to Ruyizhai, the day had already begun, and the officers and soldiers waiting outside had already shown a certain amount of impatience. And when he walked into the guest hall of Ruyi Zhai, several people inside quickly looked over, whether it was the two people from Dongchang or Feng Kun, they all showed a look of eagerness.

When things come to this point, these people just want to solve the matter in a low-key manner, otherwise their own troubles will be too great. It's just that the initiative of all this is still in Lu Jin's hands, so now it depends on what he means.

Only Lin Lie still put the knife on Commander Feng's throat, not daring to relax in the slightest. It wasn't until Lu Zhen gave him a look and motioned for him to release him that he put away his knife and stepped aside.

"A few offended. Now that the matter is settled, you can all go back. Lu Jin didn't say much, and directly told the result.

Feng Kun touched his throat with his hand, there was still a feeling of discomfort after being oppressed, and said with a calm face: "Lord Lu, what do you mean by this?" Why, at this point, do you want to just leave? He had been held hostage for several hours, and he was naturally extremely annoyed and wanted to vent.

"What? Does Commander Feng still want to make things bigger? To be honest, the official doesn't matter, but in this way, the prince will not be so satisfied. Lu Zhen said such a sentence to him with a smile, but Feng Kun's body trembled again: "You...... What does this mean? Have you seen the prince? ”

The other two also changed color when they heard this. Just now, they were still guessing what Lu Zhen had done when he suddenly left, but now that the answer was in front of them, it was a little difficult to accept. If Wang Zhenzhen knew that the two of them were so incompetent and fell into the hands of each other, I am afraid that even if they are innocent, the next days will not be easy.

Lu Zhen was not in the mood but understood their thoughts, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the promise of the prince, this official would not have let you go easily." Okay, it's not too early, and I still have a lot of official business to do tomorrow, so I won't accompany you. With that, he shook his hand and walked away, as if he had been an outsider all along.

Shi Hui's faces changed for a while, but in the end, they still didn't have the courage to stop him. Among the three of them, Feng Kun only wanted to end all this as soon as possible, while the other two were full of thoughts about how to keep up with the explanation later, so they could only watch Lu Zhen leave.

It wasn't until he walked out of the alley and saw that the three of them didn't follow him that Lu Zhen completely relieved himself. I really gambled a lot this time, and the risk I took was quite large. But in general, all this is still worth it, not only was Ji Bin rescued, but also the problem of the border pass was solved. He believed that as long as the imperial court could really increase the number of battles and trade more with the Mongols, the contradictions between the two sides would be reduced a lot, and maybe the war that changed the trend of the Ming Dynasty would not be able to be fought.

"Whew...... I hope everything will go my way, and it will be in vain for me to plan and work hard. In the end, looking at the sparkling starlight above his head, Lu Zhen silently prayed in his heart.

Although Lu Zhen released the person first, Wang Zhen's side was also a talker, and soon after entering the shift, Jinyiwei brought Ji Bin out of the edict prison and brought him to the prison of the Criminal Department.

Although people are still not free, it is great news that Ji Bin can be released from the edict. As long as there are some more processes in the criminal department, the person can be acquitted.

When the news spread, both the officials of the military headquarters and other officials of the DPRK and China felt bursts of joy and encouragement.

Many people who don't know the truth quickly attribute all this to the Son of Heaven. Because in their opinion, only the Son of Heaven can subdue Wang Zhen today. As the target of his targeting, only the current emperor in the world can make him change his mind and put people back.

Others, however, have learned about the events of the day through various means.

So when Lu Zhen was dealing with some things in his public house at noon the next day, Shangshu and Shilang, who had just returned from the court meeting, called him over.

After letting him sit down, Kuang Shangshu and Yu Qian looked at him with some strange eyes. After seeing that the latter was a little hairy in his heart, Kuang Yu spoke: "Lu Yuanwai, you are really a good means." ”

Lu Zhen smiled a little modestly, and arched his hand: "My lord praised it falsely, the lower officials are just doing their best." ”

"You, are we really looking for you today to praise you?" Yu Qian glared at him a little angrily: "Do you know how much trouble yesterday will cause if you are not careful?" You will count the East Factory and the Terracotta Division in one go, but you can be regarded as completely offending them! ”

"The lower officials know their mistakes." In the face of Qian's blame, Lu Zhen was still quite low-key, and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake. But he was a little unimpressed in his heart, although it was a bit risky, but wasn't it done?

Yu Qian saw his thoughts, and could only sigh: "Don't you see that there are actually great variables yesterday?" Although your people have taken Na Feng hostage, as long as someone in the Soldiers and Horses Division suddenly makes a move, they will not be able to wait for you to go back and solve everything. ”

was reminded by him like this, Lu Jincai slammed the spirit, and under the fear, a layer of sweat broke out on his back. Indeed, I had neglected the officers and soldiers outside, but now that I think about it, it was indeed too risky at that time. If some of those officers and soldiers were moved by Shi Hui's words, or if they were originally the hidden stakes of Dongchang, once they made a move, I am afraid that things would be completely messed up.

"Did you know that someone is secretly helping you in all of this?"

"Huh?" When Lu Zhen heard Yu Qian say this, he was stunned again, and raised his eyes suspiciously.

"If it weren't for Hu Butang's other arrangements to help you deal with the aftermath, I really don't know what the result would have been yesterday."

"Actually...... How can this be? Lu Zhen was really stunned at this time.

It turned out that as early as when Lu Zhen borrowed the gold from Hu Hu, he was good at all kinds of conspiracies and schemes, and Hu Butang, who was old in fighting, had already seen some clues. So it was early on that people paid attention to all the moves of Lu Jin.

And yesterday, when Lu Zhen suddenly attacked, Hu Hu also quickly made arrangements. not only greeted the Terracotta Division, but also secretly dispatched people to help him take care of the situation in Ruyizhai, so that everything went down in the direction he predetermined.

After listening to this explanation, Lu Zhen finally understood, and at the same time lowered his head shamefully: "I see, it was the recklessness of the lower officials that would let Hu Butang clean up the aftermath for me." ”

"In fact, your arrangement this time is also very good, and because it was your personal plan, you didn't let Wang Zhen find any problems early, so that the whole East Factory could be calculated. If it were Hu Butang, or if we came, I'm afraid it wouldn't have gone so well. Kwong Yu said this comfortingly, but it was also true. After all, whether it was the factory guard or Wang Zhen, they had completely ignored such a petty official as Lu Zhen before.

"This official called you here today, not to blame you for making your own decisions, but to remind you that you must be more cautious and prudent in the future." Kuang Yu said earnestly.

Yu Qian also added in a timely manner: "You still like to take risks too much. The previous big victory in Datong was the result of the soldiers' strange moves, but I didn't expect that when you reached this court, you still couldn't change this problem. You must remember that now that you are an official of the DPRK and China, you can no longer come as casually as you used to. ”

"The lower official has been taught." After their reminder, Lu Zhen also understood his problem, so he accepted this advice very humbly.

At the same time, he also made a decision in his heart that he should try to keep a low profile as much as possible and not give Wang Zhen or the factory guard any chance to retaliate against him. Anyway, he has done everything that needs to be done, and as for what changes will the court have in the future, it is not for him to be the master of a five-grade man.
