Chapter 68 Let's Die Together

Princess Yutan and members of the Jiang family joined the battle and confronted each other, making Xu Qian look much weaker.

The reason why we went to the First Floor to cause trouble today was because Prime Minister Wei asked Xu Qian for help. As the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, this was the first time he took the initiative to speak up, so Xu Qian had to give him this face.

If he leaves with his men in disgrace, the Five Cities Army will no longer have face!

Thinking of this, Xu Qian was not affected, but said more tyrannically: "Why, the Jiang family wants to use their numbers to bully the few and beat up the imperial officials?"

Xu Qian looked at the people behind him and became more confident.

He is not a coward like Feng Qing who will not allow himself to be bullied by the Jiang family!

Jiang Yuzhu blinked innocently, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "Master Xu, which eye did you see the Jiang family take action? You were the one who did it from the beginning to the end."

The show is over, so you don't have to return the ticket money.

Jiang Yuzhu pointed at the teapot, tea bowls and other decorations and said, "If you dare to break one of my tea bowls today, I will make your entire Xu family pay for it!"

Xu Qian was so angry that his mouth twisted, and he decided to change his thinking.

He wanted to convict Jiang Yuzhu, but Jiang Yuzhu was concerned about the decorations in the teahouse. She was really obsessed with money.

Jiang Fulu is corrupt, and the Jiang family is crooked from top to bottom!

Jiang Fulu was unmoved by Xu Qian's trouble-making. He said in a coercive manner, "Xu Qian, get out of here with your men now. I will assume that you were instigated by someone because you were confused for a moment and will not pursue the matter. How about that?"

Xu Qian finally caught Jiang Fulu's trick and sneered, "Master Jiang, I heard that you always perform your duties conscientiously. If I remember correctly, it is time to go to the government office. Is it appropriate for you to appear on the first floor?"

Because of neglecting his duties while watching a play, the Imperial Censor will come to report Jiang Fulu early tomorrow morning!

Jiang Fulu hesitated for a moment and decided to expose Censor Lu who had come to the opera with him but refused to speak: "Xu Qian, you don't need to worry, Censor Lu is here too!"

Ever since Lu Qingxue passed away, Censor Lu suffered the pain of losing his daughter.

In the past, if he had the chance during the court session, Censor Lu would have definitely attacked Jiang Fulu to death. Because of Jiang Yuzhu's small act of kindness, the two families went from being enemies to becoming friends.

Jiang Fulu heard that his daughter was personally choreographing a new play and was preparing to come to the first floor, when he happened to meet Censor Lu who was inspecting.

Under Jiang Fulu's deception, Censor Lu also came.

Being suddenly named, Censor Lu was so angry that he blew his beard. He knew that Jiang Fulu was unreliable!

Xu Qian's eyes widened in disbelief. Censor Lu was an upright man who was willing to sacrifice his life for the pursuit of justice, so how could he be in cahoots with Jiang Fulu?

Facing Xu Qian's look of astonishment, Censor Lu was content and immediately accused another person, saying, "Just now, I followed Lord Jiang to the opera and ran into Lord Zhao who was acting suspiciously in front of the door."

Censor Lu had sharp eyes and would not have been wrong. Zhao Fendie’s biological father and uncles came together and were hiding in a private room.

When Censor Lu called out the names of the Zhao family members, they could no longer sit still and decided to die together.

So, the Zhao family also gave up a few people.

Finally, all the gentlemen reported on each other, and Xu Ping, the Dali Temple Minister who had been hiding in a private room, was also pulled out, his face darker than the bottom of a pot.

At this point, Xu Qian was dumbfounded: "Uncle, why are you here too?"

Xu Qian felt helpless as he was caught and his own family members were dragged into the water.

Xu Ping held back his anger and blamed Xu Qian for meddling in his affairs. How would this end?

"All the adults have come to join in the fun, how can I be left out?"

The play on the First Floor was a big fuss. When they heard that it was related to officials from the imperial court, everyone tacitly bought expensive tickets to sneak in just to get information.

Jiang Yuzhu is not very smart and doesn't understand the ways of the world. Who does anyone know who she is going to sell out?

Officials in the capital city are bound to have pigtails.

Seeing that the person being alluded to was Prime Minister Wei's family, Xu Ping watched the show with peace of mind and felt inexplicably relieved.

After listening to the opera, Xu Ping was about to go back to his duty happily, but was interrupted by Xu Qian.

Xu Qian stuttered and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. In this situation, he didn't know how to end it.

Or, just pretend he never came?

I was really screwed by Prime Minister Wei and offended so many people at once!

In the lobby, Xiao She was no less angry than Xu Qian. He pressed down his throbbing eyelids and angrily said, "Great, really great!"

This was outside. Except for the spring hunting when all civil and military officials gathered together, Xiao She could even attend the morning court on the first floor.

If everyone comes to listen to opera, won’t the government office be empty?

Xie Zhao's lips curved slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said, "You can also say that."

If he and the emperor didn't wear masks, the image would be more complete.

At this point, Xiao She could no longer hold back. Considering that they were outside, he suppressed his anger and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I never thought that one day it would not be the immigration of foreigners that would bring down the government office, but Jiang Yuzhu's drama!"

The situation was at a stalemate. When the leaders saw that they had someone to accompany them, they felt emboldened and put the pressure directly on Xu Ping.

Xu Ping had no choice but to kick Xu Qian's butt and said, "Get out of here!"

At the bottom of the stairs, the people from the Five Cities Army retreated quickly in an instant. During the evacuation, they knocked over several teapots and teacups because they were too hasty.

Jiang Yuzhu hurriedly said to the waiter, "Quick, keep the account. Lord Xu, the Minister of the Dali Temple, is still here. We can't let him default on his debts!"

Xu Qian committed evil, and Xu Ping paid for it.

Anyway, we are all members of Old Xu’s family, regardless of you or me.

Xu Ping: “…”

All the gentlemen dispersed in a hurry, and before leaving they stepped forward to greet Xu Ping and showed their sympathy.

This made Xu Ping even angrier.

Jiang Yuzhu sent her parents and others away. Seeing that the black-haired man who spoke for justice had not left, she immediately brought her servants to greet him: "Sir, there was a misunderstanding before and I offended you a lot. Now the misunderstanding has been resolved. You are a good person."

Xiao She rolled his eyes. Why didn't he look like this when he falsely accused him of being a molester?

The little black-faced man remained silent, and Jiang Yuzhu thought about giving him some benefits.

She looked at the waiter, who nodded in understanding and took out two tickets: "Dear guest, these are tickets for the next show. They are very valuable."

After the first show is a hit, the next one is bound to be packed.

Everyone is curious and wants to know the results.

Xiao She looked slightly satisfied, and glanced at Xie Zhao proudly, then asked, "Oh, you don't want money?"

Xie Zhao had to buy theater tickets on credit from Jiang Yuzhu, he was no better than an outsider!

Don’t want money?

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, that’s a nice thought!

Her smile faded a little, and she turned away. The waiter explained with a smile, "These are special VIP tickets. We only charge 80% of the ticket price."

Xiao She froze for a moment and wanted to throw the ticket away, but he snorted coldly and accepted it.

As the Emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, you should not waste time when you should save!

Xiao She turned to Xie Zhao and said, "Your wife is really extraordinary. Why don't you just give in? Your family wealth will be as great as the national treasury in the future."

Jiang Yuzhu swallows up money, only takes it in but never gives it out. She is even more cruel than a Pixiu!

Xie Zhao shook his head weakly and said, "My property belongs to Yuzhu, and hers is still hers."

The possibility of taking advantage of Jiang Yuzhu is very small. It would be faster to fleece the emperor.

When Xiao She's plan failed, he was not discouraged and came up with another idea: "I have another good idea. You and Jiang Yuzhu can have a child who is blood thicker than water. Then you can use the son's status as the father's and take possession of Jiang Yuzhu's wealth in disguise!"

Xie Zhao: "..."

As the king and his minister walked out of the first floor and into the alley behind, they heard someone shouting, "Master, the little black-faced guy is out. Should we beat him up?"
