The second condition is not excessive, Guo Jia still nodded and agreed.

"I don't know what Ziyi's third condition is?"

Yang Ling showed a sneer, Guo Jia's heart was vaguely ominous, but he listened to Yang Ling say slowly,

"At the beginning, Wu Zhen scolded the craftsman Lu Wei for no reason, so that he died!"

"I don't ask Wu Zhen to pay for his life, I just need him to accept thirty military sticks in public!"

As soon as these words came out, Guo Jia's heart jumped.

Wu Zhen was an important minister of the imperial court and a close confidant of Cao Pi.

If you accept thirty military sticks in public, it is not only a humiliation to Wu Qian, but also a humiliation to Cao Pi!

Guo Jia's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some embarrassment,

"I have to go and tell Your Majesty about this matter with Master Craftsman Wu."

"Yes, Feng Xiao is self-sufficient!"

Yang Ling didn't care.

Jia Xu on the side shook his head and sighed,

"If Ziyi insists on doing this, I'm afraid that it will dislike Your Majesty!"

In his opinion, no matter what grievances the two had before, now Cao Pi has ascended the throne as emperor.

If Yang Ling wants to save his glory and wealth and his life, he must be obedient.

It's not wise to blindly use hard steel!

As an ancient, Jia Xu is naturally right to think like this.

But Yang Ling has traveled from the next generation, how can he care so much.

If it weren't for Cao Cao and Cao Qing's sake, he would have been unaccustomed to Cao Pi a long time ago.

"I know in my heart, Wenhe doesn't have to persuade him!"

Yang Ling smiled faintly.

Jia Xu knew Yang Ling's personality very well, and when he heard him say this, he didn't say anything more.

The two said hello to Yang Ling and got up to leave.

After they left, Cao Qing slowly walked out from behind the screen.

"Husband, do you think Your Majesty will agree to your conditions?"

Her face was slightly worried.

"Of course Your Majesty will agree."

Yang Ling held her soft and smiled slightly.

The craftsman workshop is not only responsible for the development and improvement of ordnance, but also responsible for the ordnance production of the imperial army, and its importance is naturally self-evident.

If Cao Pi didn't want to let the craftsman workshop continue to stop, he had no choice but to compromise.

……

As night falls, oil lamps are lit in the palace.

The flickering lights illuminated Cao Pi's face a little eeriely.

"That's what the Great General said?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed what the general meant."

Guo Jia and Jia Xu replied respectfully.

Cao Pi nodded expressionlessly,

"It's hard work, it's not too early, you guys go back and rest first!"

Guo Jia and Jia Xu were also anxious to get out, so they gave up and left.

"Your Majesty, this Yang Ling's request is inevitably too much!"

Wu Zhi on the side said angrily.

He can bear the first two, but he will be scolded by the rod in public.

Then his face will be lost, how will he be an official in the court in the future?

"He just knew that I couldn't help but agree to him, so he made such an excessive request!"

"If it weren't for you, how could we be in such a situation!"

Cao Pi scolded sharply.

Seeing that he was furious, Wu Zhen didn't dare to complain anymore, and obediently closed his mouth.

Cao Pimo rubbed the heirloom jade seal in his hand, and his face was extremely cold.

Powerful craftsmen in the entire Xudu area, and even in Hebei, Xu and other places, were called into the craftsman workshop.

Even if Cao Pi wanted to recruit other craftsmen to fill the vacancy, he couldn't find it.

The taste of being stuck in Yang Ling's neck is quite uncomfortable!

After some careful consideration, Cao Pi took a deep breath and instructed Wu Qian,

"Tomorrow, according to Yang Ling's request, you will go to Lu Wei's mansion to worship first."

"Huh? Your Majesty, do you really want to agree to Yang Ling's request? ”

Wu Zhen was dumbfounded.

"Or else? I give you two ways, either kill you to appease the craftsman's anger, or do what Yang Ling says! ”

Of course, Cao Pi didn't want to agree to Yang Ling's request.

It's just that Yang Ling threatened the craftsman's workshop, and he didn't have to pinch his nose to recognize it!

Seeing that Cao Pi's demeanor was extremely serious, Wu Zhen hesitated for a moment, and then reluctantly said,

"Minister...... Commanded! ”

……

Early the next morning, Wu Zhen came to Lu Wei's residence slowly.

I saw that inside and outside the Lu Mansion, there were craftsmen gathered in Wuyang.

They surrounded Yang Ling, waiting for Wu Qian's arrival!

Seeing that there were so many people on the other side, a trace of fear flashed in Wu Zhen's heart.

But thinking of Cao Pi's instructions, he could only grit his teeth and walk towards the mansion.

Fortunately, the craftsmen did not mean to embarrass Wu Qian, and everywhere he went, everyone gave way one after another.

When he came to Lu Wei's coffin, Wu Zhen put on a guilty look and said to Lu Wei's family,

"The former Japanese official was so impulsive that he caused a catastrophe!"

"Shocked to hear that Craftsman Lu has passed away, this official is really guilty in his heart, and he is speechless to you!"

"Today, at the behest of Your Majesty, I have come to offer my condolences."

As he spoke, he nodded to the few attendants behind him, and hurriedly handed over the money as compensation.

In addition to this money, Wu Zhen also promoted Lu Wei's son to be a craftsman and rewarded the Lu family with a large amount of land.

These are not only compensation for the Lu family, but also to appease the anger of other craftsmen.

But the Lu family did not take it, but looked at Yang Ling.

It wasn't until Yang Ling nodded lightly that they took it from Wu Zhen's entourage with stiff faces.

"Master Craftsman Wu, the first two things have been completed, is it now the turn of the third thing?"

Yang Lingpi asked with a smile.

When Wu Zhen heard this, his heart suddenly jumped.

He hesitated for a moment, and then said,

"The death of Artisan Lu is all due to the negligence of this official."

"This officer is determined to be punished with thirty military sticks!"

When the words landed, the entourage on the side took out their military sticks and prepared to execute.

However, at this moment, Yang Ling stopped them,

"Wait!"

"What else does the general command?"

Wu Zhen looked at Yang Ling suspiciously.

"When did I say that I was going to let your people be executed?"

Yang Ling sneered, turned his head and said,

"Second brother, fourth brother, you two will execute the Wu master craftsman!"

"Okay, no problem!"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu walked out in response.

The two of them clenched their fists and rattled at Wu Zhen with malicious intent.

Wu Zhi's scalp was numb instantly.

Originally, he wanted his subordinates to be executed, so that it would reduce some pain.

But he didn't expect his little trick to be directly seen through by Yang Ling!

Looking at Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were fat and strong, like a black iron tower, Wu Zhi's face turned pale.

If this is beaten with thirty sticks, can it still be killed?

Without waiting for Wu Zhen to refuse, Dian Wei and Xu Chu rushed up with several personal soldiers and pressed him to the ground.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Wu Zhen has always been pampered, but when the three armies went down, they were beaten and screamed, with a lot of snot and tears.

The onlookers were applauding!

By the time the thirty military sticks were finished, Wu Zhen had already passed out!

His retinue did not dare to slack off, and immediately picked him up on his back and ran wildly towards the city's medical hall.
