The city that never sleeps, the North Solid Building.

The four craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry knelt on the ground and did not even dare to raise their heads. Wei Wuji and Qian Wei stood aside with their heads down, not even daring to speak.

On the upper hand sat a middle-aged man in a black robe, embroidered with golden flames. The middle-aged man sat on the Taishi chair, holding his cheeks with one hand and tapping the armrest with the other. His face was gloomy, not angry and arrogant, and the people below him didn't even dare to breathe.

This person is the owner of Beigu Tower, and he is also the most special existence of the Vulcan Sect, the black-robed priest Ji Yan.

I don't know how long it took, but the black robe finally spoke: "The four of you fought among themselves, but you gave up the commander of the hundred crafts to Lu Mutou. Sure enough, they are all good officials of my Daming Kingdom, and they have perfectly inherited the fine traditions of my Daming Kingdom. ”

The next four lowered their heads lower, and no one dared to answer.

Wei Wuji said on the side: "This matter should be secretly instigated by the kid from the Taihang faction, and the four adults can't be blamed." ”

Raven hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Highness, this matter was instigated by Li Mingyi's guy. ”

The black robe snorted and said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that each of you had a ghost in his heart, how could he, an outsider, provoke you?" ”

The four of them knelt down and stopped talking.

The black robe looked at the four of them and asked, "What about Chen Lu from the carpenter's workshop?" ”

Wei Wuji replied, "He is very ashamed that he failed to win against Lu Mu. said that he had no face to see his honor, so he returned to Beijing ahead of schedule. ”

Hearing this, the black robe became even more angry and said, "He doesn't have the face to see me, so you have a face?" All of them are talents, and cooked ducks can fly. ”

The atmosphere of the room was even more oppressive.

The four kneeling people looked at each other, but none of them dared to speak.

At the critical moment, Wei Wuji opened his mouth and said, "Your Excellency, the most important thing now is how to deal with Lu Gongtang. ”

The black robe looked at him and said angrily: "What else can I do?" Now there is only force left. ”

Wei Wuji asked, "Then do you want the High Priest to send the Divine Sect Army in the sect?" ”

The black robe slapped the armrest and said angrily: "Divine Sect Army? I don't know how many families are staring at that Divine Cult Army now. A private soldier of the Jianghu Sect attacked and killed a large family of craftsmen with hundreds of years of inheritance, don't you think it's big enough? Are you afraid that these families and the king will not fight enough, right? ”

After Wei Wuji heard this, sweat appeared on his forehead, he knelt down, and said, "My subordinates are wrong, and I ask Lord Black Robe to forgive me." ”

The black robe pondered for a while, and said to Wufeng, who was waiting beside him: "Wufeng, you will notify the thief saint in a while, and let him go to Lu Gongtang to find a way to steal the gunpowder formula." ”

Wufeng knelt down and said, "The slave obeys." ”

The black robe said to Qian Wei again: "Qian Wei, you take my token and go to see Yang Hong of the Bingzhou Garrison Division." I borrowed 300 soldiers from him, and he said that my goods were lost, and I needed to suppress the bandits. Yang Hong owes me a favor, and he won't dig into it. Go right away. ”

Qian Wei bowed down to receive the order and left Beigu Building in a hurry.

After instructing Qian Wei, the black robe said to Wei Wuji again: "Wuji, you have the best kung fu here." You will go to the inn in a moment, and say that I will offer a reward of 10,000 taels for the new commander of the hundred workers and the head of Li Mingyi. ”

The inn is a well-known killer organization. They are named after inns and are spread all over Kyushu, the kingdom of the Ming Dynasty.

When Wei Wuji heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, after all, as long as he deals with money, he will have oil and water. He bowed and said, "Your subordinates obey." ”

After giving all this instructions, the black robe said to the kneeling four: "After the four of you go back, don't do anything in the Ministry of Works." I will talk to Sun Shangshu and let you return to your hometown in advance. ”

The four of them were overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness Hongen." ”

The black robe didn't pay attention to the four people, and walked out of the room directly. Only when the black robe left did the four dare to get up from the ground.

Lu Gongtang, the atmosphere at this time is very cheerful.

Lu Dali personally presided over and welcomed Lu Mutou back to Lu Gongtang again. The craftsmen were very pleased, after all, Lu Mutou had a very good reputation in the hall back then.

After all, such an honest and capable person is very popular everywhere.

Lu Tietou, as the master of Lu Gongtang, handed over a handful of adzes that were said to be handed down by Lu Ban to Lu Mutou. This adzes are the token of the hall master of Lu Gongtang, and taking this adze means that Lu Mutou has become the new hall master of Lu Gongtang.

Lu Mutou of Mu Ne still took the adze honestly and didn't say anything. After all, even if there are a thousand words, he doesn't know how to say them.

After completing this simple inheritance, Lu Dali announced a shocking news in public.

Lu Dali said in front of everyone: "My Lu Gongtang has been inherited for a hundred years, and it has spread all over Kyushu, Daming Kingdom. It's just that we craftsmen take pleasure in making utensils. Today, the king of Xiliang sent a messenger to come and invite me to go to Xiliang to do a major project with iron ore. ”

Although his words were not much different from what he said to Li Mingyi that night, Li Mingyi always felt that something was wrong. This iron mine hasn't quite agreed yet. However, he didn't say much, just continued to listen, after all, this was someone else's territory.

Lu Dali continued: "After discussion with our elders, we have decided to relocate my Lu Gong General Hall to Liangzhou. After three days, all craftsmen above the master master must go to Liangzhou with the hall. After three years, he will return. This time, you can bring your family. ”

At this time, it is normal for craftsmen to be away from home for several years because of a big project. Like a project to repair the emperor's mausoleum, it is very likely that it will be a lifetime. So although everyone felt that the time was a little tight, no one doubted it and went to pack their bags.

Li Mingyi felt a little unusual, after all, he hadn't agreed to resettle Lu Gongtang in Liangzhou en masse.

He can say that this kind of big thing doesn't count, there are hundreds of thousands of craftsmen in Lu Gongtang, even if there are thousands of people in the city that never sleeps now. The relocation of these thousands of people alone is a big project.

The most important thing is that he obviously told Lu Dali last night that he wanted to meet King Xiliang first. Why did you change your hexagram all of a sudden?

So not long after Lu Dali finished speaking, Li Mingyi directly grabbed him, didn't let him go, and asked: "Old Hall Master Lu, King Xiliang hasn't agreed to this iron ore matter yet." Isn't it too presumptuous for you to call so many people from Lu Gongtang to Xiliang now? ”

Lu Dali seemed to be unconscious and said, "Didn't Gongzi Li agree last night?" Xiliang Wangfu has a big business, how can it not be able to accommodate my small Lu Gongtang. Rest assured, we are all craftsmen, and we can always find work in Liangzhou. ”

After saying this, Lu Dali didn't want to entangle with Li Mingyi, and left in a hurry. As if he was afraid that he would repent.

Li Mingyi stood there stunned, always feeling that he was being calculated by the honest Lu Dali.
