Chapter 222: I am going to write a letter to the Emperor now.
"Brother?" The Fourth Master frowned slightly. "You're here so soon?"
"What's the matter?" Prince Zhi glanced at the Fourth Master: "Don't you want me to come over?"
Looking at the people who were shocked by his words, Prince Zhi smiled even more.
In fact, he had rehearsed these words several times, waiting for this moment.
Unexpectedly, all the officials of Jinyang, big and small, and his brothers were all together.
This is great, as it saves us from having to gather everyone together one by one.
Seeing the Fourth Master frowning at him, the Prince of Zhi's face darkened. "Fourth Master, I'm not criticizing you. Earlier, I said I would come to Jinyang to provide disaster relief, but you insisted on coming. If you don't have the skills, don't take on this porcelain job. Look, now you still want me to clean up your mess, don't you?"
The more Master Jiu listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Seeing that everyone around him had strange expressions, he coughed loudly and said, "Big Brother!"
What is this big brother of his going on now? Listening to what he said, it seemed like he was here to save them from danger.
But the fourth brother had already found the recipe for disaster relief and sent a letter to the emperor. Why would the eldest brother say such a thing? Could it be that the eldest brother hasn't received the news yet?
After all, he was the elder brother who took care of him when he was young. Jiu Ye didn't want him to be laughed at, so he said, "Well, elder brother, you must be exhausted after rushing all the way here. How about I take you to rest?"
As he spoke, he quietly looked towards the Fourth Master. Sure enough, the Fourth Master's face had turned grim.
With his fourth brother's current fighting skills, even if they and the eldest brother join hands, they may not be able to defeat him. They must not provoke him.
"Old Nine, what are you doing with those winks?" Prince Zhi looked at Master Jiu with a frown on his face. "You little brat, you've been acting so unruly all day. How can you rest now?"
He then looked at the Fourth Master and said, "Fourth Master, please lead the way. I want to go and see how the victims are doing."
After thinking for a moment, he pushed the prescription in his hand out and said, "There is also this prescription. It was developed by the current Imperial Physician Fang after much effort. Although he will need two days to return to Jinyang, this prescription should be of some use. Let's boil it and try it on the victims first."
The Fourth Master took the prescription thrown to him, glanced at it, and said, "Thank you for your help, Big Brother, but this prescription is no longer needed."
Upon hearing this, Prince Zhi's eyes widened. "What do you mean by that? Even now, you're still trying to hold on? Do you think that if you pretend that Jinyang is safe and sound, the Emperor will not blame you? Put away those messed-up thoughts as soon as possible!"
Prince Zhi now felt that his fourth brother was really annoying.
Normally, he would just hold on in small matters, but now he was still holding on like this, with no sense of right and wrong, and no regard for the lives of the people. He was truly unworthy of being a prince of the Qing Dynasty!
He immediately looked at the faces of the Ninth Master, the Tenth Master, and all the officials with a sullen face, and said, "What? The Fourth Master doesn't say anything, and you guys don't move either? Why don't you go and make medicine for the victims!"
Prince Zhi gave orders, but no one around moved. Everyone subconsciously looked towards the Fourth Master.
Seeing Prince Zhi's expression, Jiu Ye also felt a little anxious. He couldn't help but pull him out and whispered, "Brother, stop making trouble. The disaster in Jinyang has actually passed. There's really no need for this prescription for the time being."
"Get up." Prince Zhi pushed away Ninth Master and frowned at Fourth Master. "Fourth Master, good, you're doing great! Just wait for me! I'm going to report you now!"
Having said this, he shook his sleeves heavily, turned around and left.
Prince Zhi was very angry with the Fourth Master. He imagined that everyone would be grateful to him and thank him for bringing the prescription.
I didn't expect that this guy, Lao Si, could control these officials so tightly. I don't know what leverage Lao Si has on these corrupt officials, but I can't even control any of them! In this situation, he is at a disadvantage no matter how you look at it.
He was usually impulsive, but he understood the principle of a wise man not to suffer a loss in front of him. For a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fourth Brother! Wait for me!"
"Master... Master... Where are we going?" The attendant beside him asked nervously as he saw that the road was getting further and further away.
Upon hearing this, Prince Zhi paused, glanced at the unfamiliar surroundings, and suddenly became increasingly irritated. He yelled, "How do I know where to go!!!"
The guards beside him also saw their master's dilemma, and finally advised: "Master... then why don't you go find the Fourth Prince and ask where we are staying today?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Zhi was immediately furious: "Let me go find him, it would be better for me to die!"
As he said this, he punched the pillar hard: "Would I go looking for him for such a small matter? He's dreaming!"
Having said this, he turned around and walked back.
"Master, where are we going?" The attendants around him became even more worried.
"Master, can't you find a place to live?" Prince Zhi glared fiercely, put his hands behind his back and strode forward, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his steps suddenly stopped.
Prince Zhi saw the stone bench beside him, swept the snow off it with his sleeves, and then sat down, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Bring me paper and pen, I need to write a letter to the Emperor right now!"
Prince Zhi wrote a four-page report to Emperor Kangxi on all the "evil deeds" committed by his fourth brother, and even exaggerated a lot of his grievances.
After stuffing the letter into the envelope, Prince Zhi ordered, "Send it back to the capital as fast as possible. Make sure the Emperor sees my letter as soon as possible."
After finishing writing these things, Prince Zhi felt better.
"Let's go find a place. I don't believe that these dog officials won't obey my orders. Can't I provide disaster relief myself?"
Just as he stood up, he saw two figures running towards him from afar. Prince Zhi snorted coldly, turned around and sat down again.
"Brother, why are you in the backyard?"
Jiu Ye chased after him and let out a long breath.
The Tenth Master beside him looked at the Prince of Zhi suspiciously: "Brother...isn't this stone bench cold? Be careful not to get hemorrhoids if you sit on it for too long...Ah!"
Halfway through howling, Master Shi immediately covered his mouth and looked at Master Jiu beside him with accusatory eyes and a face full of accusations. Is this Brother Jiu his real brother? Why did he suddenly pinch him?
Jiu Ye glared at him fiercely, signaling him to stop talking nonsense. Then he smiled and said to the Prince of Zhi, "Brother, Fourth Brother asked me and Tenth Brother to take you to the wing room to settle down first. You are tired too, so take a rest first."
Prince Zhi snorted heavily: "The weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken!"
