Dazhou, Weiyang Palace.

There is no need for morning court today, and Wu Zhi rarely plunged into the Qiankun Palace when he woke up to see those memorials or met one minister after another.

After she washed and had dinner, she went to the general to serve as a supervisor. In the letter left to her, Wu Qiong mentioned the Luban lock made by Wu Qiong for the Tubo envoy, which was regarded as the so-called "return gift", and was confident that no one in Tubo could open the Luban lock.

At this time, the Lu Ban Suo had already been sent to the Tubo envoy. Wu Zhi wanted to ask about the Lu Ban Suo, so he could only go to the supervisor to inquire.

After all, it was designed by Wu Qiong and will be produced by the supervisor. Of course, they have the most say. Wu Zhi was not interested in Lu Ban Lock, but was just worried. He didn't know if the Lu Ban Lock designed by Wu Qiong was really as magical as he said.

If not, wouldn’t the Tubo envoys easily unbuttoned the Luban lock, wouldn’t they lose face?

The General Prison is one of the five supervisors of the Nine Temples of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is in charge of the construction and maintenance of palaces, the production of exquisite utensils, embroidery, strange utensils, etc., which are all within the scope of supervision.

The general was the chief supervisor of the prison, and his official position was Dajiang, who was from the third rank. At this time, the general manager was the chief supervisor, with his surname as Han. He was the son of a merchant who once supported the emperor when the late emperor conquered the world.

The merchant was awarded the title of "Shenglong" and was granted a free and uninherited Duke. His son was given the position of a chief craftsman, which was also a lifelong worry-free life.

As for grandchildren, people in the system of the grandchildren and fathers, no matter how bad the grandchildren are, they will not be much different. The arrangement of the late emperor is worthy of the Han family.

Han Dajiang originally thought that although he would be a prisoner, he would not bear much responsibility, but he did not expect that the emperor would come once yesterday, and today he came again. Han Dajiang was so nervous.

When the emperor was about to be the chief magistrate, Han Dajiang did not dare to neglect and brought a group of officials to the courtyard to greet him early.

After the eunuch came and shouted, he saw the emperor walking in with his hands behind his back, with a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and accompanying guards.

Han Dajiang and others, just glanced at the emperor's face, knelt on the ground and bowed. The eunuchs next to them raised their hands, and they stood up one after another.

After Wu Zhi waited until everyone saluted, he was about to order Han Dajiang to follow him to ask the supervisory office to question him.

However, she didn't expect that the female Shangguan had already asked the two palace maids to wipe a crossbar in the corridor next to them with a handkerchief.

Wu Zhi was stunned and raised his hand and asked:

"Shangguan Female Official, what are you doing?"

The female Shangguan was also stunned, and then bowed and replied:

"Your Majesty, when you came to the prison yesterday, you said that you should sit in the house and be in a straight seat. You were very uncomfortable, so you should sit on this bar to discuss matters. Will Your Majesty not sit today?"

Looking at the questioning look of Shangguan female official, Wu Zhi raised his hand and slowly put it down.

[How can that man sit on the bar in front of his ministers...]

"Let's go to the hall today to discuss matters."

Wu Zhi waved his hand and turned his head to walk towards the prison. The female Shangguan didn't dare to say anything, so she hurriedly took the people in.

Not long after, Han Dajiang, who was in the courtyard, was called in by Wu Zhi. Wu Zhi had no other purpose when he came here, just to ask about the Lu Ban Lock.

As the son of a businessman, Han Dajiang was already influenced by his family and was very pragmatic. He entrusted his father's blessing and jumped from the lowest-ranking son of a businessman to an official from the third rank, but in his heart, he was still a sleek businessman's nature.

As soon as he heard Wu Zhi ask about the Luban lock yesterday, Han Dajiang immediately knew that the opportunity to flatter him was coming!

The Luban lock designed by the emperor himself yesterday, and today I came to ask what to do, so I must blow it up immediately! Han Dajiang started to brag about it endlessly, and he blew the Luban lock designed by the emperor into a rare place in the sky and no place in the world. If anyone had it, the Yellow River would be broken.

Han Dajiang was bragging with all his strength there, but Wu Zhi was calm and said:

"Make one again and see for me."

As soon as Wu Zhi said this, Han Dajiang followed with an extremely admirable expression:

"I hope your majesty knows that the Luban lock designed by Your Majesty is really impossible to restore with the wisdom of my minister."

"You will be the Luban Lock that you just made yesterday. Why can't you do it today? Do you think I will be happy if I say this? If I still say flatteringly, it will mislead my business. How can you take responsibility!"

When Han Dajiang heard the emperor say this, he was stunned. When the emperor came to ask for Luban locks yesterday, he agreed to make mortise and tenon and splice them himself to ensure that no one could open them.

Moreover, the emperor also asked the people who were in charge to try it. No one could open it, and it was very stable.

Today, I have to restore the materials of mortise and tenon by myself. The China Merchants Bank will do it. But Han Dajiang didn’t know at all how the emperor put it together yesterday!

Wait, could it be that I did something that angered the emperor, so the emperor deliberately found a reason to cause trouble for me?!

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible. Han Dajiang's forehead was as big as a bean, and he was shocked. He thought desperately in his mind that he had done something bad recently, and he had to think about the bad things he had done before.

But after thinking about it, Han Dajiang really didn't expect that he had done any great traitors and evil that would make the emperor come to cause trouble for himself! Could it be that it was the impeachment and attack by the political enemy?

It's impossible! Although I am from the third grade, I am just a master craftsman who is in charge of the prison. I have no real power to be a literati. Any scholar-official may be more influential than myself. I can be said to be a marginal figure. Who is so bored to attack me?

Han Dajiang was thinking hard and racking his brains to "crime for online crimes" for himself, almost counting the fact that he was peeking at someone else's bath when he was a child.

Wu Zhi waited for a while, and saw that Han Dajiang was shaking, his face turned pale, and his forehead was sweating, but he didn't even let go of half of his fart. It didn't seem to be performed on purpose. Isn't it really a flattery, and he really can't recover?

[That man made Luban lock is so powerful? Is he a craftsman?]

Wu Zhi was still thinking about it in his heart, but Han Dajiang in front of him suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud and cried:

"I, I know I'm wrong! Please spare your life!"

Hum? What's the situation? Before Wu Zhi asked, Han Dajiang had already started talking about it himself:

"I was also confused for a while. A few years ago, the old emperor asked me to renovate the Qiankun Palace. There were many kiln merchants outside, hoping that I could use the bricks and tiles produced in their kilns. I and I took some money from them, but I promised that I would never use bricks and tiles indiscriminately, and they were all good materials."

"How much did you collect?" Wu Zhi frowned and asked.

"I collected about twenty taels, but I was still a few friends who introduced me. I couldn't tell you what I could receive, but I didn't use their bricks and tiles."

Looking at Han Dajiang who was honestly explaining in front of him, Wu Zhi suddenly laughed. She was so ardent that she didn't know what Han Dajiang thought and understood the misunderstanding. She didn't expect that Han Dajiang could not withstand the pressure so much. She was just a little unhappy. He thought about it and had such a thing.

"I think you are asking me truthfully, so I will give you a slight retribution. I will go to Taifu Temple to pay a fine of 200 taels of silver and a salary of one year. As for the Luban Lock... forget it, pretend I have never been here."

Wu Zhi waved his sleeves and left amid the thank-you of Dajiang Han.

She was going back to Qiankun Palace to handle government affairs, but as she walked, her stomach suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
