Chapter 278 The True Master
"If there is someone else behind Prime Minister Wei, that person must be hiding very deeply."
They hid outside the city, temporarily cut off from news from the capital.
Censor Lu sighed and said, "I really want to know what will happen if the Queen Mother puts the Emperor under house arrest?"
The three of them got together to analyze the situation and finally came to the conclusion to take it one step at a time.
"The Great Qi Kingdom is not ours, why should we care about it?"
Jiang Fulu raised his glass and said that since he was in this position, he would just continue to live his life without seeking any merit but only avoiding mistakes.
As long as he doesn't fall, the Jiang family will be able to hold on, and his daughter Jiang Yuzhu will have her family to rely on. Even if Xie Zhao is the most powerful official, what does it matter? The Jiang family is not afraid!
Speaking of his daughter, Censor Lu sighed deeply and said, "It's a pity that Qingxue died early, otherwise..."
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn. The three brothers climbed out of the pool and drank one cup after another.
When Li De brought the food and wine in the box, Jiang Fulu was holding hands with Censor Lu and singing a little song. Both of them had dazed eyes and their faces and necks were red.
At the table nearby, Yu Jijiu showed a mysterious smile with a serious look on his face.
"Master Yu, you..."
Li De stared at the tray, shook his head and sighed, "If I had just eaten a few peanuts, I wouldn't have gotten this drunk."
It seems that Yu Jijiu is the only one who is sober.
After Li De thought about it, he and Yu Jijiu divided the work and cooperated, and it would not be a problem to send the person back to the room.
“Good, sounds good!”
Yu Jijiu suddenly slammed the table, scaring Li De.
Yu Jijiu stood up and took Jiang Fulu's other hand, and the three of them sang and danced, and the most important thing was that they were naked.
Li De looked at this scene and felt that he was not worthy of it. It was really an eyesore.
No wonder he didn’t want to bring his family together, now we’ve found the reason!
Li De's honest face showed a trace of deep thought, and he said to himself: "It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups..."
Li De always thought that his brother-in-law, Censor Lu, was upright, incorruptible, and stubborn, and that he would never form cliques or factions in his life. It was because he didn't understand him well enough.
Li De had a headache fighting three drunkards alone.
While he was helping to get a change of clothes, the trio suddenly disappeared!
The door leading to the outside of the underground palace opened, and Li De hurried out.
It was already bright outside and a light rain was falling.
Jiang Fulu was drenched by the rain, and his body felt cold, which suddenly made him more sober.
He looked at Censor Lu and Yu Jijiu who were still singing and dancing, and was about to call them back when there was movement ahead.
An old lady in coarse cloth was passing by and was urinating in the straw when she suddenly saw two naked men appear in front of her. She was so scared that she started cursing.
"How dare you tease me, you shameless pervert!"
The old lady took out a carrying pole and hit Censor Lu and Yu Jijiu twice on the buttocks.
After beating the man, the old lady still felt unsatisfied. Since the man was much stronger than her, she was afraid she would lose, so she dropped the things she was carrying and ran away.
Jiang Fulu hid in the grass and sighed when he saw this scene. His two brothers were so miserable!
"No wonder Madam always says drinking ruins things. Fortunately I sobered up quickly!"
In the first month of the lunar year, cold rain was pounding down and Jiang Fulu was shivering with cold. Li De happened to come looking for him, so he hurriedly carried the man back with Li De.
"Li De, this matter is confidential."
If Censor Lu and Yu Jijiu knew how shameful he was, they would be too shameless to have the courage to live on.
Also, Jiang Fulu watched the whole process but did not come forward to help. If his brothers knew about this, he would definitely be accused of being disloyal.
After this rain, the three brothers all caught a cold and none of them escaped.
Li De prepared wine and food and boiled medicine to feed him three meals a day.
When the rain stopped that night, the old lady led the villagers to the lonely grave and said to them, "It's right here, there are two naked men!"
The person must be caught and handed over to the authorities, otherwise what would happen if the young and tender wife saw him?
The villagers looked around and saw no signs of human activity in the grass.
Looking at a few more lonely graves, everyone looked at each other, their pupils dilated at the same time, and shouted: "Ghost!"
Next, all the villagers ran away, and the old lady soon disappeared with them.
At the same time, in the palace of the capital.
A day had passed, and the Queen Mother was resting in the Imperial Study, when Bicui beside her said, "Queen Mother, the Prime Minister of Wei wants to see you."
"Declarate it."
The Queen Mother leaned back on the dragon chair and took a nap, waiting for Prime Minister Wei to report back.
There was a chaos at the palace banquet yesterday. Her side was clearly very confident and the Imperial Guards were all her people, yet they let that bastard Xiao She escape!
"Minister Wei, is there any news about that old fellow Jiang Fulu?"
The empress dowager squinted her eyes, opened them a little, glanced at Prime Minister Wei's expression, and knew what was going on.
As expected, Wei Shoufu knelt down and reported: "In reply to the Queen Mother, the capital is searching every house to find Jiang Fulu."
"Someone must have leaked the news in advance. All the Jiang family's shops were closed, and the servants disappeared from the place where they were."
Overnight, the Jiang Mansion was deserted.
Prime Minister Wei brought people to the house to smash the house and found that all the valuable things in the room were gone. Even the ornaments in the Duobao Pavilion that they had not had time to take away were all fakes.
There are still some calligraphy and paintings on the wall, which were copied by Jiang Fulu himself.
Prime Minister Wei led people to search the house and found a painting in the study. On the painting was a grinning turtle with Prime Minister Wei's name written on the turtle's back.
Prime Minister Wei was so angry that his blood was boiling. If he caught Jiang Fulu, he would cut him into pieces!
"Minister Wei, there is a war in the north. Xiao She sent his trusted aide Xie Zhao to go there to stay away from the troubles in the capital. I'm afraid he had already received the news and found a way to retreat."
The love between mother and son is just an act.
The Queen Mother was acting, and Xiao She was also acting. She underestimated the brat and ended up raising a tiger to cause trouble.
"You mean Jiang Fulu and his men have already fled out of the capital?"
If we leave the capital, it will be difficult to investigate.
Veins bulged on Chief Minister Wei's forehead and he was extremely angry.
The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "The most dangerous place is the safest place. Xiao She and Jiang Fulu are probably hiding in the capital."
Prime Minister Wei stayed for half an hour and received the imperial edict.
When they returned to the study in the mansion, a tightly covered man in black was already sitting in the main seat.
Upon seeing this, Wei Shoufu knelt down and said respectfully, "Master, please send someone to deliver a message to me. How can I trouble you so much?"
Now the capital city has been controlled by Queen Dowager Xuan. Prime Minister Wei appears to be loyal to the Queen Dowager, but secretly awaits orders from his real master.
"Do you think the Queen Mother will trust you?"
Lu Yunxi knew Queen Dowager Xuan very well.
Queen Dowager Xuan knew exactly who Prime Minister Wei met and what he did.
Lu Yunxi came only to warn: "Look for the right opportunity, and don't act rashly."
Queen Dowager Xuan inherited a mess and was in a state of panic. After everything was sorted out, Lu Yunxi took over a ready-made one. He wanted to give Queen Dowager Xuan a "surprise".
