Chapter 842 Lu Bing Visits
"Really?" Emperor Jiajing said indifferently: "But how did I hear that Luo Xin finally managed the six major families including your Lu family to the heart's content?"

Lu Bing broke out in cold sweat. He knew that Emperor Jiajing was saving face for him. What he said meant that the Lu family had made things difficult for Luo Xin. If Luo Xin was not strong enough, let alone running the Shibo Yes, it would be nice not to come back disheartened.

"Your Majesty... my humble minister... my humble minister..."

"Forget it!" Emperor Jiajing said lightly: "It's a good thing you didn't participate. As for your family... now it's considered cooperation, so I won't blame you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing kowtowed heavily.

"Get up!" Emperor Jiajing said softly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing stood up, but did not dare to sit down again.

Emperor Jiajing looked at the old Lu Bing, and a trace of sadness also appeared in his heart. He sighed softly and said:

"Let your family earn money honestly and in accordance with the rules, so that you can maintain wealth for a hundred years."

"His Majesty……"

Seeing Lu Bing hesitating, Emperor Jiajing said, "What's the matter? What can you say to me?"

"Weichen's younger brother wrote a letter from the southeast. It's hard to make money now."

"Huh?" Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly.

Lu Ding did send several letters to Lu Bing, telling Lu Bing about the form of Dongnan.Lu Bing had long wanted to meet with Luo Xin to discuss a solution, but he didn't dare, fearing that Emperor Jiajing would find out.That's why my heart was moved just now, just taking advantage of the opportunity that Emperor Jiajing asked him to investigate Luo Xin, I went to meet Luo Xin openly and aboveboard.At the same time, he did not hesitate to take this opportunity to sue Zhang Shijie.So, he told Emperor Jiajing exactly what Zhang Shijie did in the southeast, and even colluded with the Xu family to occupy Daming Maritime Trade.

Emperor Jiajing's expression did not change after listening.He pondered for a moment and said:

"Go and do what I entrusted to you first."

"According to the order!"

Lu Bing retreated, the cold sweat on his body gradually subsided, and his bent waist gradually stopped.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.Based on his understanding of Emperor Jiajing, he made the right bet again this time.First of all, Emperor Jiajing would not suspect that he and Luo Xin had colluded, and secondly, he put eye drops on Xu Jie and Zhang Shijie.

Walking out of the gate of the palace, he frowned slightly: "I don't know why I didn't buy so many iron tools? But since he blatantly pulled them away from the Ministry of Industry, there shouldn't be any problem."

After getting into the carriage, he ordered: "Go to Yanglinhou Mansion."

Yuxi Palace.

"Huang Banban!"

"The servant is here." Huang Jin stepped out of the shadows.

"Let Dongchang go to the southeast to check for me."

"According to the order!"

Yanglin Houfu.

These four craftsmen were indeed master craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry. The carpenter had already completed the frame of the children's tricycle in less than half a day, and was currently making the wheels.Luo Xin held the frame in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, with joy on his face.

Lifting the frame of the car, he said to Lu Rudai who was sitting beside him: "Look, Dai'er. This place, and these two places, will be equipped with wheels in the future, and our children will sit on this car seat. , there will be two pedals here, and our children will put both feet on them..."

Lu Rudai looked at Luo Xin who had regained his energy with a wide smile, and just nodded vigorously.

"Lord Hou!" Lu Daqing came over and said, "Captain Lu is here."

"Lu Bing?" Luo Xin's brows were slightly frowned, and then relaxed, he stood up and said, "Dai'er, I'll go take a look."

"Well! Let's go, Mr. Dai. Dai'er is here to watch the car." Lu Rudai said softly.

"Where is Governor Lu?" Luo Xin asked as he walked.

"In the lobby." Lu Daqing replied softly.

Luo Xin walked towards the lobby, and when he came to the entrance of the lobby, he saw four Jinyi guards standing at the entrance of the lobby. When he saw Luo Xin, he hurriedly saluted:
"Meet Master Luo."

Luo Xin sullenly ignored the four of them.Four royal guards standing at the door of their own lobby, what do you mean?
It's up to me to show off.

The four Jin Yiwei also understood Luo Xin's meaning, they couldn't help showing a wry smile on their faces, and they didn't say anything.Luo Xin walked into the lobby, cupped his hands towards Lu Bing and said:
"I met Mr. Lu."

Lu Bing saw that Luo Xin's expression was not good, and he knew the reason in his heart, so he said to Luo Xin silently:
"Your Majesty asked me to come."

Looking at Lu Bing's mouth shape, Luo Xin understood that sentence and was shocked.However, before he could speak, Lu Bing laughed loudly:

"No, my brother has long wanted to come to visit, thank you for taking care of my family in the southeast."

At this time, Luo Xin naturally understood that Lu Bing let the four Jinyi guards stand outside to make others feel that Lu Bing and Luo Xin had nothing to do with each other. Naturally, the anger in his heart went smoothly, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Lord Lu, please be polite. In fact, the subordinate officials didn't take care of them, but they were very cooperative and helped them a lot."

"Hahaha..." Lu Bing laughed heartily.After the laughter died down, the two chatted. While chatting, Lu Bing wrote on the table with his hands dipped in tea:

"open?"

Seeing the word "Zhang", Luo Xin knew that Lu Bing was asking him if he knew that Zhang Shijie and Xu Jie had colluded to occupy the Shibo Department.So, he nodded, still chatting with Lu Bing.

Lu Bing's eyes lit up, and then he reached out to wipe off the word "Zhang", dipped in tea and wrote the word "铁", followed by a question mark.Luo Xin's gaze shrank. He knew that Emperor Jiajing suspected what he was doing after getting so much iron from the Ministry of Industry, so he reached out and erased the word "iron", then stood up and said:

"Lord Lu, my subordinate has designed a gadget these days. If Master Lu is free, shall we go and have a look?"

"Oh?" Lu Bing heard this, with an expression of interest on his face, he said, "It must be something that can be designed by a great Confucian of your generation, Mr. Luo, it must be not simple, brother must have a look."

"Please!"

"Please!"

The two walked out of the lobby side by side, and Lu Bing said to the four Jinyiwei: "The four of you wait here."

"Yes!"

The two walked towards the back, turned around and entered the courtyard, there was no one around, Lu Bing said in a low voice:
"No, things in the southeast are terrible!"

"I know!" Luo Xin also said in a low voice: "I have already told His Majesty in the memorial report that the southeast cannot be chaotic, the shipping department cannot be chaotic, and the system of Daming Maritime Trade cannot be changed. Your Majesty's expression should be in agreement."
