"First of all, you two apologize to me in public!" Lu Chen looked at Xiao Yu and Zheng Shanguo and said solemnly.

"No problem! This matter is our negligence, and we should apologize to Lu County! It was Zheng Shanguo who spoke, and Xiao Yu was a little ugly, you must know that he is not only the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but also the right servant of the Shangshu and Song Guogong, asking him to apologize to Lu Chen in front of so many people, which is equivalent to losing face in public, so it is strange that his face can be good-looking.

But there is no way, the situation is stronger than people, if Lu Chen is allowed to make such a fuss, maybe this kid can still make a living, Xiao Yu can only make an ugly "um" on his face, indicating that he agrees.

Seeing that the two of them agreed, Lu Chen nodded, and followed Lu Chen to raise a finger directly at Xiao Yu and Zheng Shanguo.

"Lu Xiangong, what does this mean?" Xiao Yu and Zheng Shanguo saw Lu Chen's raised fingers, and were slightly stunned, followed Xiao Yu to look at Lu Chen and asked.

"Secondly, each of you will compensate your father-in-law for the loss of reputation!" Lu Chen's words this time were not just said to Xiao Yu and Zheng Shanguo, but to the civil officials who had just coaxed the seedlings.

"A penny?" When these people heard Lu Chen's words, they all looked at Lu Chen in disbelief, these people were all ready to be slaughtered by Lu Chen, but they obviously didn't expect Lu Chen to say such a thing.

Even these people thought that they had misheard, and they all looked at Lu Chen with incredulous eyes.

"Why are you looking at this father-in-law like this?" Lu Chen glanced at the group of civil officials, "Do you think that this guild can't talk to you lions?" You also think that you think too low of your father! Lu Chen snorted very arrogantly, "Haven't you heard that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way?" As soon as Lu Chen finished saying this, these people suddenly changed their faces and color, and it was clear that Lu Chen was talking about himself, and what he secretly poked and poked was directly mocking these people from the family.

These civil officials naturally heard the meaning of Lu Chen's words at once, and suddenly their faces were all ugly, as the saying goes, "If you hit someone, you don't hit your face, and you don't talk about it", what Lu Chen said was equivalent to directly lifting the fig leaf, how could these people not be embarrassed.

And Lu Chen only needs a penny compensation fee per person, which is equivalent to slapping the face of these civil officials, but these people can't say anything, after all, Lu Chen is talking about compensation, but this compensation is too slap in the face, which family is not the existence of a big family, and people want you to compensate for a penny, which is almost a direct "I look down on you" A few big words directly said.

"Each of you will compensate your father-in-law for a penny, and this matter will be settled!" Lu Chen reiterated again, "In addition, this time it's just to teach you a lesson, don't use rumors and rumors as rhetoric in the future!" ”

These sub-civil officials were naturally embarrassed by Lu Chen's words, but now they can only hold back their breath secretly, whoever makes Lu Chen stand on the upper hand now, whatever he says is what he says!

"Don't look at me with your unpleasant eyes!" Of course, there are still many of these civil officials who look at Lu Chen with angry and unhappy eyes, and these Lu Chen naturally see it in their eyes, "It's easy for my father to get wealth!" Lu Chen said and directly took out three glass balls from his deerskin pocket and put them on top of his palm, and the eyes of those civil officials changed at this time.

Originally, they thought that Lu Chen was just helping King Wu buy those two glass balls, this kind of thing in their minds, if they got one, they could use it as a family heirloom, who would have thought that Lu Chen could take out several more in his pocket.

"My father asked you, this glass ball, one thousand, does anyone want it?" Lu Chen directly rubbed and played with one of the glass balls with three fingers, and his casual appearance directly made everyone look scared, looking like he was afraid that Lu Chen would fall the glass ball to the ground.

These sub-civil officials looked at the glass ball in Lu Chen's hand, and their eyes suddenly became a little hot, although they couldn't let Lu Chen give them two hundred guan, but if it was one thousand, they were definitely willing to pay.

"It's a pity! This company will not sell this kind of glass ball! After Lu Chen showed off, he turned his hand and directly let the three glass balls in his hand fall into the deerskin bag, and the glass balls collided and made a crisp sound, and these sounds seemed to hit other people's hearts every time.

"That's a glass ball! Such a transparent and rare glass ball, you threw it into the bag like a mortal thing? Everyone's eyes trembled with the fall of each glass ball, and every time they heard the impact of the glass ball, their hearts fluttered involuntarily, and these people couldn't wait to directly snatch the deerskin bag in Lu Chen's hand and protect it on their chest.

"Your Majesty! The minister is willing to dedicate this glass ball to His Majesty! Lu Chen directly held the deerskin bag in both hands and presented it to Li Yuan.

"Oh?!" As soon as he heard Lu Chen say that he wanted to dedicate the bag of glass balls in his hand to himself, Li Yuan suddenly looked happy, such a transparent glass ball, Li Yuan was also greedy! Don't look at him as the emperor, but at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he was also poor! Even Li Yuan almost walked down directly from the imperial stairs and went to get the deerskin bag in person, but Li Yuan still stabilized his mind and ordered directly: "Chang Bao!" ”

"Yes!" Chang Bao heard Li Yuan's order, hurriedly walked over and carefully took the deerskin bag in Lu Chen's hand, then turned around and walked slowly in front of Li Yuan, and carefully and carefully put the deerskin bag on the dragon book case in front of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan really wanted to play with the glass balls in this bag now, but Li Yuan still knew that it was still the time to go to court at this time, so Li Yuan could only suppress his somewhat excited mood and look up at Lu Chen: "Lu County Gong, do you want to offer such a treasure to me?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister does have a small request!" Lu Chen was also unambiguous and responded directly to Li Yuan.

As soon as they heard Lu Chen's request, everyone immediately focused their eyes on Lu Chen again, and the generals were wondering whether Lu Chen wanted to ask the emperor for gambling debts, after all, the few companies that owed Lu Chen's gambling debts had not fulfilled the gambling contract so far, and the civil officials were pondering, is this Lu County Duke holding back something bad? As for Zheng Shanguo, Wang Qi and Wei Ting, in addition to pondering this idea, they were worried that Lu Chen and Li Yuan proposed to let them fulfill the gambling contract.

"I don't know what Lu Aiqing is asking for?" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen with a pleasant face and asked.

"The minister begs His Majesty to let the Ministry of Industry send some craftsmen to the minister's Lujiazhuang!" Lu Chen said to Li Yuan.

"What's the matter?" As soon as Li Yuan heard Lu Chen's request, he immediately smiled, "Wu Shi Tong, this matter will be handed over to you!" Li Yuan said directly to the warrior Tong.

"Minister, obey!" Seeing that Li Yuan called his name, the warrior Tong came out of the column and responded after saluting Li Yuan, "Later, Lu Xiangong can go to the Ministry of Industry to select craftsmen!" ”

"So thank you Wu Shangshu!" Lu Chen said with a bow of his hand at the warrior Tong.

"Lu Aiqing, is this one request?" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen and asked again.

"What's that?" Hearing that Li Yuan actually asked Lu Chen if he had any other requirements, everyone was stunned, and the emperor chased after the courtiers and asked the courtiers if they had any requirements?

"If there is no request, the minister still has a small request!" Lu Chen pondered for a moment, looked at Li Yuan and said.

"Good guys!" After hearing Lu Chen's answer, the civil and military ministers in this Taiji Hall exclaimed in their hearts, "Good guy!" ”

This monarch and minister have never been seen for eternity, one really dares to ask, and the other really dares to respond!

Everyone looked at Lu Chen with strange eyes again, and Qi Qi secretly said in their hearts: "Are you this guy floating?" The emperor is just polite, do you really dare to respond? ”

"What else does Lu Aiqing have to request?" Li Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Chen's move, just that bag of glass balls was enough for Li Yuan to agree to Lu Chen's few requests that were not excessive.

"That, Your Majesty, those gambling debts owed to Weichen have not been fulfilled, and Weichen hopes that Your Majesty can urge them!" Lu Chen turned his head to look at Zheng Shanguo, Wang Qi and Wei Ting as he spoke.

"This..."Hearing that Lu Chen was looking for a debt collection job for himself, Li Yuan didn't expect it for a while, after all, Li Yuan really forgot about this matter, although there were documents here in Li Yuan, but Li Yuan was busy with everything every day, so how could he remember this kind of thing, so Li Yuan directly groaned.

And Li Yuan is also the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty after all, as the emperor helps his courtiers collect debts, this is a bit too nonsense if it is passed out!

"Your Majesty!" Just when Li Yuan was groaning, Zheng Shanguo said directly at Li Yuan.

"Why did Zheng Aiqing start the performance?" Li Yuan looked at Zheng Shanguo and asked.

"What Weichen wants to say is this gambling debt!" After Zheng Shanguo responded to Li Yuan's words, he turned his head to look at Lu Chen.

"Oh? What do you have to say? When Li Yuan heard that Zheng Shanguo was talking about gambling debts, he was also secretly relieved in his heart, after all, it was really inappropriate to let him, the emperor, come forward to collect debts.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not that we are unwilling to fulfill the gambling contract, but the gambling debts between us and Lu Xianhou are huge, and it will take time to raise, not to mention, the gambling contract has not yet arrived, and Lu Xianhou is in a hurry to collect the debt, right?" Zheng Shanguo looked at Lu Chen and said very unhappily.

After all, this is the time of the last dynasty, although when the bet was made, it was also in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but this debt collection was urged to the court, and it was too bad for them to give face, so the eyes of several people looking at Lu Chen were also quite unkind, and even full of anger.

"Oh? So, will you fulfill your contract on time? Lu Chen didn't care about the eyes of several people, but asked Zheng Shanguo instead.
