"Haha!" Hearing Lin Lang's words, Chang He chuckled. "What would happen if a drop of water suddenly fell into a pot of boiling oil?" Chang He looked at Lin Lang and asked.

"This..." Lin Lang really didn't know what would happen, so he was stunned when Chang He asked him, and he didn't know how to answer.

Chang He also immediately understood that Lin Lang had never seen such a scene, and the reason why Chang He asked this was because Chang He had seen this scene by chance in his kitchen, and the relationship between Lu Chen and those civil servants was The situation is so similar to this scene.

"Okay! Let's change the metaphor. In the territory of a wolf pack, a tiger suddenly breaks into the territory, and this tiger is extremely ferocious. What will happen to these wolves?" After thinking about it, Chang He looked at Lin Lang Continue to ask.

"Either the tiger dies, or the wolves run away!" Lin Lang thought for a moment, looked at Chang He and said.

"Then Mr. Lu is obviously the tiger. As for the civil servants, they are naturally the wolves! These wolves have always been the holders of the right to speak in this territory, and when the tiger comes... the consequences will be... You should be able to figure it out with your head, right?" Chang He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but kept talking.

"We understand! But we think Mr. Lu County is very good! Just look at the life of those bankers!" Lin Lang nodded, and then continued to talk to Chang He.

"Because of this, Mr. Lu is now a thorn in the side of the civil servants of those aristocratic families, because Mr. Lu has directly subverted the rules they set. Alas!" At this point, Chang He sighed. How powerful those aristocratic families are. , even if Chang He has never seen it, he has heard of it. Even the royal Li family did not dare to confront the opponent head-on. This Lu County Duke actually dared to confront the opponent head-on. Chang He was impressed by his courage alone.

"Since His Majesty asked the two of us to come to inquire about this matter, he obviously also wanted to protect Mr. Lu, so after we go back, we still have to consider our words!" Chang He withdrew his distant gaze and looked at Lin Lang's serious face. said.

"Of course our family knows this, but our family pretends we didn't hear Commander Chang's speculation about his intentions!" Lin Lang glanced at Chang He and said with the same serious face.

"I made a mistake. Thank you, Waiter Lin, for reminding me!" Upon hearing Lin Lang's words, Chang He felt a shiver in his heart and raised his hands to Lin Lang.

"Commander Chang, you don't have to be like this!" Lin Lang said and returned the favor to Chang He, "You and I are both working for His Majesty, so we should do our best!"

The two chatted some more gossips along the way, entered Chang'an City and went straight to the Imperial City. They came to the Tai Chi Hall together. Lin Lang went directly into the Tai Chi Hall to report, while Chang He waited outside the Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty, this servant and Commander-in-Chief Chang have returned from questioning and come here to reply!" Lin Lang stood in the Tai Chi Hall and saluted Li Yuan and said.

"Let Chang He come to the hall too!" Li Yuan looked at Lin Lang standing in the Tai Chi Hall and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Chang Bao on the side took the order, quickly came to the door of Tai Chi Hall, and sang loudly: "Xuan Chang, why do you come to see me!"

Afterwards, Chang He directly entered the Tai Chi Hall under the leadership of Chang Bao.

"I, Chang He, have met your Majesty!" Chang He saluted Li Yuan respectfully and stood next to Lin Lang.

"You two went to ask this time, how did Lu Chen respond to what happened yesterday?" Li Yuan asked, looking at Lin Lang and Chang He.

"Your Majesty, I understand with the ministers and Lin Lin that what happened yesterday was not caused by the craftsmen and farmers in Lu County Gongzhuangzi!" Chang He first saluted and then responded loudly.

"Oh?" After hearing Chang He's report, Li Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and then glanced at Zheng Shanguo. Zheng Shanguo was obviously surprised by Chang He's reply. Although he was surprised, he still tried to keep his expression as normal.

As for the other gentlemen, Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao, they looked at each other. After all, regarding this matter, even though Cheng Yaojin had been messing around just now, they still gave Lu Chen a hard time. Khan, I was afraid that these two people would find out something, but it seemed that Lu Chen had already dealt with it.

"Who caused it?" Li Yuan looked at Chang He and Lin Lang and continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, the person who caused the explosion was a Taoist priest. The loud noise and black smoke yesterday were caused by the explosion of the alchemy furnace!" This time it was Lin Lang who answered Li Yuan, and Lin Lang pointed at Li Yuan Shi Li said.

"Taoist? What Taoist? Could it be that Lu Chen is also seeking the way to immortality?" Hearing Lin Lang's answer, Li Yuan was slightly startled. In the hearts of Li Yuan and others, Lu Chen was the person who "relegated the immortal to the mortal world". Why? What kind of immortality should be pursued, and what kind of Taoist priest can gain access to Lu Chen's Dharma and be able to make elixirs in Lujiazhuang.

"Who is this Taoist priest? Why do you want to make elixirs in Lujiazhuang?" Although Li Yuan was a little suspicious, he still looked at Lin Lang with a serious face and asked.

"Your Majesty, the identity of that Taoist priest cannot be described!" Lin Lang said with a somewhat embarrassed face. At this time, Lin Lang felt so miserable!

I thought it was just an errand to ask a few questions, but who would have thought that the water here was so deep that Sun Simiao would be involved. Moreover, Lu Chen had warned him not to disclose this person's identity at will, and it was obvious that Sun Simiao was also from Lujiazhuang. From his and Chang He's point of view, everything was arranged by Li Yuan in Lujiazhuang, so when Li Yuan asked this question, Lin Lang complained in his heart. It was a difficult question whether he should say it or not!

"Nonsense! What is your Majesty's identity?" At this moment, Zheng Shanguo seemed to have found an opportunity and shouted angrily at Lin Lang, "Who's identity in the world cannot be told to His Majesty?"

"Zheng Shangshu, what you said makes me, Lao Cheng, disagree with you. The servant Lin said that I can't tell you, and it's not that I can't tell His Majesty! What do you call me when you jump out?" Lin Lang was scolded by Zheng Shanguo. When he didn't know how to answer, Cheng Yaojin stood up from the side, looked at Zheng Shanguo and said.

Since Lin Lang mentioned the word "Taoist", Cheng Yaojin and others immediately understood what was going on. It was obvious that Sun Simiao, the miracle doctor, had taken over what happened yesterday, even though Zheng Shanguo and others did not know that Sun Simiao was in Lujiazhuang. , but Cheng Yaojin and the others knew it, not to mention that Qin Qiong's illness was still counting on Sun Simiao and Lu Chen. After hearing Zheng Shanguo's words, Cheng Yaojin stepped out of work and came to rescue Lin Lang.

Now that Lin Lang mentioned "Taoist priest", Li Yuan also knew something in his mind, and he immediately understood that the "Taoist priest" Lin Lang mentioned was definitely Sun Simiao. After all, Li Jiancheng's condition has improved greatly, and this is all due to Lu Chen and Sun Simiao's contribution, since Lin Lang said this, it is probably because Lu Chen did not let these people know that Sun Simiao was in Lujiazhuang, and it is very likely that Lu Chen and Sun Simiao were jointly researching something. Was he afraid that Sun Simiao would be disturbed?

Li Yuan looked at Cheng Yaojin and Zheng Shanguo who were arguing below, and was thinking secretly in his heart.

"Cough!" Li Yuan coughed. Cheng Yaojin and Zheng Shanguo, who were arguing, stopped arguing, and the Tai Chi Hall suddenly became quiet.

"The two dear friends are just outsiders. It doesn't matter if you know their names. Since this matter has nothing to do with Lu Chen, let's end it here!" Li Yuan looked at Cheng Yaojin and then at Zheng Shanguo. One glance brought the matter to an end immediately.

"Yes! I will obey your Majesty's will!" Seeing that Li Yuan had said so, even if Zheng Shanguo felt unhappy, he still had to give Li Yuan face. He could only give Cheng Yaojin a hateful look, salute to Li Yuan and say, Contrary to Zheng Shanguo, Cheng Yaojin glanced at Zheng Shanguo arrogantly.

An early court meeting dispersed after other officials played several more chapters about the court.

"I didn't expect Brother Lu Xian to retain such a hand!" After the dynasty was over, several young men who had been to Lujiazhuang yesterday gathered together again, Liu Hongji said with a smile.

"I'm afraid this wasn't Lu Xiandi's idea. I'm afraid it was Doctor Sun who took the initiative to take over the matter. I'm afraid the explosion has a huge bearing on it!" Qin Qiong stroked his beard and said after a moment's thought.

"Second Brother Qin's words make sense. No matter how good Brother Lu Xian is, he cannot just let Divine Doctor Sun take this responsibility!" Chai Shao agreed with Qin Qiong's analysis and nodded.

"Oh! Why do we care about those things!" Cheng Yaojin directly interjected from the side, "Lu Xiandi is not a person with ulterior motives. Let's think about the promise to Lu Xiandi first!"

"Zhijie's words make sense. Since we promised Brother Lu Xian, we must keep our word and be loyal!" After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, several people looked at each other and smiled, and then left the imperial city laughing and talking. .

"Grind it a little thinner here!" Lu Chen was in Liulifang, instructing Xiang Zheng to make a magnifying glass.

"Yes! It's right here!" Lu Chen said, pointing to the edge of the magnifying glass that had begun to take shape. Under Lu Chen's guidance, Xiang Zheng polished the edge a little.

"Yeah!" Lu Chen picked up the lens of the magnifying glass and looked at it. "It's okay!" Lu Chen found a reference object to compare with the magnifying glass. It did magnify a little, but the workmanship was still a bit rough, but Lu Chen didn't care. Those, with this thing, you can replace the magnifying glass in the base.

"Take this, I think, and think about it again. You can make a few more! And of course concave lenses!" After Lu Chentong said to Xiang Zheng, he left Liulicang with the magnifying glass.

"Did you come up with something new, sir?" After Lu Chen left, Ding Wu approached Xiang Zheng and asked curiously.

"Well! According to the father-in-law, this thing is called a convex lens, and there is also a kind of concave lens, and they all need to be made! Only you and I know about this, and it is not allowed to be spread outside!" Xiang Zheng glanced at the craftsmen working in the distance and warned. After saying this to Ding Wu, Ding Wu nodded knowingly.
