Chapter 262: Arrogance

In Chijing City, there are two major forces that sell magic weapons, and it is said that in addition to these two forces, the royal family also has a special magic weapon building department, and most of this secret department is tailor-made magic weapons for the army.

Lu Yi didn't think about it, so he came to a remote corner of the imperial city, where the ground was hidden with the royal forging team, and there were quite a few people.

He is a royal official, and he can manage many people in office, so he naturally chooses the Royal Forging Department to engage in privileges.

"Stop, this place is not accessible, get out of here".

Several soldiers hid in caves around the shadows, and they didn't show up until Lu Yi appeared.

Lu Yi raised a gold medal and said, "Get out of the way and call the leader of your Royal Forging Department to come over."

Seeing the gold medal in Lu Yi's hand, coupled with the green python robe on his body, a soldier was so frightened that he quickly turned around and ran towards a cave.

"Wait a minute, my lord, the leader will be here soon."

The other soldier didn't dare to slack off, and politely asked Lu Yi to stand in place and wait.

In less than a while, a person with a beard and a strong body came over, and he roared from afar: "Who should I be such a big shelf, it turns out to be the recently rising Marquis of Tsing Yi, Your Excellency can make hundreds of officials smell the style and change their complexion, but I, the Iron King, am not an official of the court, but I am not afraid of you."

Lu Yi didn't care about the other party's words, but said politely: "I'm not here to find trouble, but I just want to build a batch of swords and a hundred superb storage rings, don't misunderstand the Iron King."

"Our forging department only builds equipment for the army, and does not accept personal orders, do you dare to commit a crime knowingly, aren't you afraid of stabbing your majesty?"

The Iron King didn't give Lu Yi any face, so he immediately waved his hand and refused.

"I was shy in the lower bag, and I found that the spirit stone was not enough, so I also asked the Iron King to open it, count me cheaper, I want a lot of money."

"Hahaha, I have no money for a long time, I said that the Royal Forging Department does not accept private work, not to mention that you don't have enough money, which is even more impossible."

After the Iron King finished speaking, he turned around disdainfully and was about to leave.

"Benhou gives you face, you have to know how to cherish it."

Lu Yi was not in a hurry, his words fell, the Iron King paused, turned his head and said: "Although you have enough power, your official position is only the fourth rank, and the lower third rank is the official rank, it is not bad if I didn't ask you to salute me, who gives face to whom."

"Hahaha, this marquis is a marquis, I didn't ask you to salute to give you face, I'm too lazy to talk so much to you, you just say if you can do it, I'm very busy."

"Tsing Yi Hou is really arrogant, if I don't do it, what can you do with me."

"Iron King, don't wait until you see the coffin to cry, when Ben Hou comes in person with the East and West Factories, the destruction of the family is a trivial matter, maybe even your nine clans will be implicated."

Lu Yi didn't expect this Iron King to dare not give him face, so he immediately took out a signal flare, which seemed to be ready to shoot into the sky.

"Don't deceive people too much, what evidence do you have to get me, not to mention how dare you break into the Royal Forge Department."

"Hmph, there is such a thing as a crime, if you want to fabricate it, it's not easy to get caught, and finally ask you, can this business be done."

Lu Yi's patience has been lost, and all the officials have to give him a few thin noodles, but he didn't expect to kick the iron plate today.

"You, you".

The Iron King also knew that if he was targeted by the East Factory and the West Factory, he would have a hard time in the future, although he was honest, he couldn't bear the other party's fabricated evidence to get him, so he could only sigh unwillingly and said: "What do you want to build."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to talk about business if you can do it, I want 10,000 high-grade Xiao swords, 100 best storage rings, and after it's done, the ring will be embedded in the base of this piano, and every 100 swords will be put into a ring."

As he spoke, Lu Yi took out the piano and a sack of purple spirit stones.

"Here are a million purple spirit stones."

"If you do this, you will need at least one and a half million purple spirit stones, I Royal Forging will create these for you, it is already a violation of the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you don't even have enough money now, how to do it."

The Iron King was surprised in his heart, what did a person want so many swords for, and such a huge amount, Lu Yi casually took out a million, which showed that the other party was a big corrupt official.

"The money is not simple enough, I copied the home of your forging department, not only is the money enough, but it will be more, do you want to try it in the Iron King."

Lu Yi didn't say anything polite to the other party, and after saying a word, several soldiers beside the Iron King suddenly took a few steps back, their expressions looked a little scared, in case the Iron King disagreed with the other party's request and offended Lu Yi, everyone who belonged to the Royal Forging Department would probably be implicated.

"Hou Tsing Yi, you are buying and selling, our forging department is so poor that it is difficult to give you a spirit stone."

"Although you don't have many spirit stones in the forging department, there are a lot of materials, you Iron King can just change the materials and report it, I take out one million is considered sincere, if you meet the former Wei Zhongxian, I'm afraid that not a single spirit stone will be given to you, and you will still be forced to make it."

After Lu Yi finished speaking, he slapped the spirit stone and the qin, and the two soldiers hurriedly reached out to catch them.

The Iron King endured and endured, and in the end he could only compromise.

"I'll pick it up in a month, and if you find a cut corner, everyone in your forging department will wait for me to raid the house."

"What a month, these 10,000 high-grade swords, it will take at least two months, not to mention that there are 100 top-grade rings, Tsing Yi Hou don't force people too much."

The Iron King was embarrassed, he was already forced to be aggrieved by Lu Yi's power, and now the other party asked for a month, which made him even more embarrassed.

"Two months is two months, farewell".

Lu Yi knew that he couldn't push too hard, so he agreed to the other party's request and turned to leave.

"Chief, this Tsing Yi Marquis has been powerful recently, and he has raided the homes of many officials, so it is better not to offend him."

Seeing Lu Yi leave, a soldier sighed helplessly.

"How could I not know, but this guy actually asked me to wait for the advance money, this is simply eating people without spitting out bones, how many materials are used by the royal family every year, if I tamper with it in private and are discovered, it is also a big crime to rob the house, alas, unlucky."

"Forget it, there are 100 blacksmiths in our forging department, and all of them have a total of two million per month, and each person will deduct a little bit every month, and collectively give him a cushion, and ask for a favor in the future."

At this moment, another shirtless man who looked like a strong man walked out of the cave passage.

"Brother Zhao Ao, you are the head of the blacksmiths, since you say so, your blacksmith subordinates will be persuaded by you, alas, unlucky."

After the Iron King finished speaking, he and the blacksmith named Zhao Ao reluctantly walked into the cave and disappeared.

On the other hand, Lu Yi has returned to the East Factory, and after doing this, he plans to officially start the main work of the two factories and investigate the hundred officials.

The most elite people in the East Factory and the West Factory are the Secret Division, who are infamous for their skills and are responsible for monitoring the whereabouts of investigation officials.

Lu Yi came to the dim basement of the mansion, and two black shadows floated like ghosts, kneeling in front of him.

"Factory Father, what are the instructions for summoning my secret division?"

"Both of you are the leaders of the secret division of the two factories, and now that the two factories are under the jurisdiction of Benhou, you should cooperate with each other to share information, and don't hide and fight separately."

"Yes".

The two black shadows were masked, looking down on their appearances and replying at the same time.

"It's time to do things next, keep an eye on officials from all sides, especially those who have dealings with Zheng Daguan, and those who have old dealings with Zhu Yunwen's henchmen, and they can't let go."

Lu Yi remembered that he had promised Zhu Di that keeping an eye on Zheng He would not allow him to have contact with Zhu Yunwen, and he knew that it was impossible to keep an eye on Zheng He, so he could only keep an eye on the officials who had intensive contacts with Zheng He.

"Understood".

The two disappeared after answering at the same time, Lu Yi also left the basement, came to the cultivation ground, and began to immerse himself in cultivation, during which Wang Yangming came, and after a while of greetings, Lu Yi also understood that the other party was just reminding him that I helped you in front of the emperor, and I hope you can help me in the future, and return this favor.

Lu Yi immediately said that he would do his best to help Wang Yangming in the future, so the other party happily said goodbye.

Two months passed quickly in the cultivation, and when Lu Yi was about to go to the Royal Forging Department to retrieve things, someone reported that Zheng He's chief manager had left the customs and was waiting for him in the main hall.

Hearing this news, Lu Yi was inevitably flustered, he wandered among the court forces, promised to follow Zheng He, and also promised to take Zhu Di as the leader, and eat it on both sides, so he couldn't be sure, whether the two of them trusted him or not.

Especially Zheng He, the other party's cultivation is extremely high, even if his own power is strong, join forces to deal with him, although he can't fight a thousand enemies, he can also retreat with his whole body and take the opportunity to retaliate.

"Lu Yi knocked on the chief manager, congratulations to the chief manager for getting out of the customs."

In the main hall, Lu Yi politely saluted Zheng He, in front of this person, he didn't dare to be too arrogant at present.

"Don't dare, I just retreated for a while, the former Lu Qianhu, now the person in charge of the two factories is monstrous, and he was also named Hou Tsing Yi by His Majesty, and gave him a Tsing Yi python robe, so that the Marquis of Tsing Yi will see me in the future, and there is no need to salute anymore."

Zheng He laughed and patted Lu Yi's shoulder closely, looking not unhappy.

"The West Factory is just in charge of the times, Your Majesty said that he will make up for it when there is a suitable candidate, and both factories are under the jurisdiction of the governor, how dare Lu Yi not be polite, and I am the person promoted by the chief."

Lu Yi said satisfactorily, and also reminded Zheng He that my thousand households were arranged by you, so as to eliminate the other party's suspicions.

"Tsing Yi Hou is polite, last time you found an opportunity to contact the Jianghu Sect for me, I didn't have time to thank you, this time I will trouble you again."

Zheng He was very polite to Lu Yi throughout the whole process, which also led to his secret knowledge in his heart, the more polite the other party was, the more unfamiliar the relationship between everyone was, and the more bottomless his heart became.

"I don't know what's going on with the manager, just send someone to tell me no, Lu Yi will do his best to do it, why don't you come in person."

"There are only a few days left before the seventh and a half months, and since the invitation of the sect has been rescheduled by me, if I don't go this time, I'm afraid there will be no talk in the future, so I specially invite the Marquis of Tsing Yi to go to Syracuse with me to participate in such a grand event."

Zheng He's abrupt invitation made Lu Yi not know what to do, thinking about what the other party meant and why he wanted to go with him.

"Tsing Yi Hou don't have to think about it, this party was facilitated by you, I will bring the people of the two factories anyway, you are the father of the two factories, and it is not appropriate not to go."

Zheng He seemed to see Lu Yi's worries, and said casually, making things simple and reasonable, saving him a lot of suspicions and thoughts.

"Yes, I obey the order, I don't know when we will leave."

Lu Yi knew that no matter whether he wanted to go or not, since Zheng He opened his mouth, he had to go if he didn't go.

"Tomorrow at noon, the Marquis of Tsing Yi will gather the powerhouses of the two factories, follow me to Syracuse, the sectarian forces will gather there tomorrow, it is best to bring some gifts, and you have to be ready to fight."

"Yes, I understand it below.
