Won't tell anyone
Mu Ningqiu frowned slightly. Before she came here, she really didn't expect Fang Yin to be involved in such an important matter.
If you say you don't care, that would be an absolute lie.
So Mu Ningqiu once again took out the handwritten edict that Huang Xuan personally sealed, "After seeing this edict, you know the rules if you see His Majesty coming in person. Now you tell me that you will not speak unless His Majesty comes here in person. You are Do you think I can deceive you because I am young?"
"I don't dare!"
Seeing Mu Ningqiu take out the oracle again, the middle-aged man and the stewards around him immediately fell to their knees.
This handwriting, stamped with the imperial seal, can indeed represent Mu Jing himself.
But even under such pressure, these building officials still refused to speak.
Mu Ningqiu narrowed her eyes and her voice became colder: "I will give you one more chance. You can stay, but I need an explanation for this matter."
She was almost certain of one thing now.
That was Fang Yin's matter, and the Ministry of Construction did not report it.
They kept it secret, perhaps because they were greedy for merit, but more likely because the secrets involved in Fang Yin were too terrifying.
At this time, Mu Ningqiu remembered that the Ministry of Construction had applied for many elite soldiers from the Holy Kingdom in order to protect those valuable war weapons.
Now it seems that protection is real, but guarding Fang Yin is the most important reason.
Mu Ningqiu had never seen 'prisoners' who had to be strictly guarded, but she had never seen a guy like Fang Yin who was treated so strictly.
The people in the Ministry of Construction even did not hesitate to disobey His Majesty's orders and did not allow themselves to have any contact with Fang Yin. This not only proved Fang Yin's special nature, but also proved that the things involved behind Fang Yin were far beyond her imagination. .
The Zaobu Department is not just a Qingshui Yamen. As one of the most special departments of the Holy Kingdom of Tuntian, the matters that the Zaobu Department deals with on a daily basis are, without exaggeration, truly 'family and national affairs'.
Therefore, the more cover-up these department officials were in front of them, the more Mu Ningqiu felt that there was something wrong behind it.
"Your Highness Princess, it is indeed not our decision to make the decision on this matter."
The middle-aged man saw that Mu Ningqiu seemed to be really angry, so he had no choice but to express his worries, "Don't say it's you, even if your Majesty is here, we have reasons not to speak."
Mu Ningqiu's eyes flashed.
She didn't think that this middle-aged man had guessed that the current emperor of the Holy Kingdom had changed. The fact that he said this proved that he really thought so.
What the Ministry of Construction is currently building may be a disruptive force.
Before its completion was confirmed, let alone the princess and the emperor's handwriting, even if the emperor came in person, they would have countless reasons to refuse Fang Yin to be taken away.
"In this case, I won't embarrass you."
Thinking of this, Mu Ningqiu changed her tone and softened a little: "I can promise you that I will not take Fang Yin away. But I want to take a look in your workshop."
Before the middle-aged man could refuse again, Mu Ningqiu said with a hint of impatience: "Every year, the Ministry of Construction spends more than a billion dollars from the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom on the research and development and production of new weapons. The Holy Kingdom has invested so many resources in this matter, and I have brought His Majesty’s handwriting, why can’t I even take a look at it?”
"this… "
Even though these building managers really didn't want Mu Ningqiu to come into contact with those war weapons, Mu Ningqiu's reasons were too perfect.
From beginning to end, what they really objected to was just taking away Fang Yin. Now Mu Ningqiu proposed to visit the Zaobu Workshop, and she had Mu Jing's handwriting in her hand. This request was very reasonable and completely complied with all the rules.
So even if they wanted to refuse, they were speechless for a while and didn't know what to say.
"Her Royal Highness's request is very reasonable."
After the last few stewards looked at each other, the middle-aged man sighed helplessly and said to her: "If you just want to visit the Zaobu workshop..."
"etc."
Suddenly, Mu Ningqiu interrupted the middle-aged man's words. As if something suddenly occurred to him, he held a jade pendant and said with a faint smile: "I want to bring someone in."
The middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed, "Your Highness, the establishment of the Ministry is very important..."
"The foreign affairs manager of Prince Yan's Mansion and the leader of the Land Department. With his status and the handwriting as a guarantor, I feel that this person is also qualified to enter your building workshop for a visit."
Mu Ningqiu smiled and said: "Or, if you have any opinions, maybe you can raise them to him in person?"
"It's him?"
"Why did Demon King Lu Li come to build the Ministry?"
After hearing Mu Ningqiu's description, several people immediately knew who she was talking about.
Now the name of Demon King Lu Li has spread throughout the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom. Although they, the building managers, have not had much contact with the outside world, they have heard of the reputation of the 'Demon King' through various channels.
Reject him in person
Are you kidding me
None of the stewards spoke. They looked at each other, as if the person with the indignant look on their face just now was not them.
Except for the anxious middle-aged man who felt as if he was being roasted on a fire, the rest of the stewards kept silent in a tacit agreement.
After looking at Mu Ningqiu for a moment, the middle-aged man also compromised, gritted his teeth and said: "General Manager Lu is loyal to the Holy Kingdom. His Majesty's handwriting guarantees it, we can trust him!"
…
"Excuse me, everyone."
In the secret passage leading to the Zaobu workshop, Lu Li smiled warmly and was still getting close to the several Zaobu stewards.
It was a pity that none of them paid attention to him, their faces were ashen and extremely ugly.
Seeing this scene, Lu Li didn't take it seriously. His real purpose was to enter the Zaobu Workshop, and he was already halfway there. As for the attitude of these people, it didn't matter at all.
However, during this process, Lu Li and Mu Ningqiu exchanged looks several times.
To be honest, Lu Li thought that the Zaobu matter would be a trivial matter. With Mu Ningqiu's status as a princess and the emperor being played by Huang Xuan, no matter how stubborn the Zaobu was, it would not be able to compete with the imperial power of the Devouring Heaven Holy Kingdom. Be an enemy.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Li felt comfortable leaving this matter to Mu Ningqiu.
In the end, after going through some twists and turns, I still stood on the territory of the Ministry of Construction and wanted to personally meet this most mysterious organization in the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom.
"The workshop is just ahead."
The middle-aged man who was leading the way in front of the two people suddenly stopped, his tone became a little cold, and he whispered: "When you arrive at the workshop, no matter what you see, you must forget it after you leave. If A little bit of what was in the workshop was leaked, even if it was just a word.”
Having said this, he turned back to look at Lu Li and Mu Ningqiu.
Of course, the main person he reminded was Lu Li.
After all, Mu Ningqiu is the eldest princess of the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom, so she still needs to be given this trust and respect.
But Lu Li was different.
Judging from the outrageous rumors from the outside world, 'Demon King' Lu Li is an extremely cruel guy, his methods are very extreme, and he acts without any consideration. Apart from being loyal to Prince Yan's Mansion, he doesn't have any advantages.
If Mu Ningqiu hadn't used His Majesty's handwriting as a guarantee, they would never have allowed Lu Li to step into the Ministry of Construction workshop.
What's more, these managers of the Zao Department all know Fang Yin to a certain extent and know that Fang Yin used to be the sentient envoy of the Heaven Department. The Tianbu belongs to the Shenwei Division, which happens to be a force under King Yan. Now that the most prestigious "General Manager Lu" of the Yan Prince's Palace has come to build the Ministry, I am afraid that the drunkard is no longer interested in drinking.
Therefore, almost all the managers of the Energy Construction Department who relied on the maps in Fang Yin's hands were wary of Lu Li.
Feeling that he was being hostile, Lu Li stopped exchanging glances with Mu Ningqiu and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Your Highness and I are not the kind of people who would leak secrets."
"I can certainly trust you, Your Highness Princess."
The middle-aged man met Lu Li's eyes, his eyes were slightly cold, and he snorted: "But Manager Lu's reputation is not very good."
"It's all a false name, it's all a false name."
Lu Li waved his hand and laughed.
This actually blocked the middle-aged man's words. After a moment of silence, he turned his head silently.
Mu Ningqiu also looked at Lu Li quite speechlessly.
You're such an embarrassment, do you still think others are praising you
