312, get people out
312, get people out
After finishing his shift at the Ministry of Justice that day, Lu Mingfei and his senior brother Fu Boming made an appointment to have dinner at their family's hot pot restaurant.
This was the first time the two brothers met after he returned to Beijing to serve as an official.
Meat was cooking in the hot pot. Lu Mingfei scooped up a spoonful of meat with a spoon, gave half to his senior brother, and kept the other half for himself. "Senior brother, how are you doing in the Imperial College lately?"
"It's about the same as before." Fu Boming paused in picking up the food, looked at the younger apprentice brother opposite him, and said, "It's just that you guys are missing. I often miss the days when you were here."
When he said the latter sentence, there was some nostalgia in his expression.
"As for you, I heard from Mr. Fu that you went to work in the Ministry of Justice?"
"Well, that's right. His Majesty summoned me back to Beijing a few days ago and asked me to temporarily take the position of Left Vice Minister in the Ministry of Justice. I have been working in the Ministry of Justice during this period." Lu Mingfei picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth, responding while eating.
"I went back to the private school a few days ago and had a cup of tea with the teacher. But you were still in the Imperial College at that time, so I didn't see you."
"Senior Brother, what are your plans now? Will you continue to study in the Imperial College? Or will you come out and help me?" This last sentence was the purpose of Lu Mingfei inviting his senior brother out for dinner today.
He was not confident in entrusting the affairs of Tong County to others, but he trusted his senior brother more if he entrusted it to him.
In fact, the most suitable person to take over the affairs of Tong County for him should be Zhang Lingxuan. However, Zhang Lingxuan has gone to the local government as an official, and he cannot abandon the people of the county who come here to help him.
The most important thing is that it is not easy for an official to resign, so Zhang Lingxuan cannot just run away without reason.
So after choosing and choosing, the most suitable person now is his senior brother Fu Boming.
"What can I do for you?" Fu Boming knew that this junior fellow would not ask for his help without any reason.
"There really is one." Lu Mingfei looked at his senior brother and said seriously.
The two brothers had a long meal that day, and it was not until late at night that they finished their meal.
Fortunately, this is their own hot pot restaurant, otherwise the boss would have kicked them out long ago.
Coming out of the box, he saw his adoptive father outside. Lu Mingfei said to his adoptive father: "Adoptive father, we are leaving. Please have someone pack up and you should go back and rest early."
"Okay, you guys go back and rest early, I'll make arrangements here." Lu Qingfeng asked his adopted son and his friend to go back quickly.
It happened to be on the way, so when Lu Mingfei was going back, he personally sent his senior brother back home, and then asked the guards to go back and send him back to the small courtyard in Chunxi Road.
Although the emperor gave him a house, he could not move in until the Ministry of Works sent people to clean it up.
He was used to living in the small courtyard on Chunxi Road. Apart from the fact that the commute to work was a bit far, there was really nothing wrong with it.
Moreover, if he lived here, his brothers could live in the yard next door, and their comings and goings would not attract attention.
But if he moved to a house next to the imperial city, it would be too close for the emperor to send someone to keep an eye on him. Moreover, there were dignitaries all around, and it would be difficult to hide who was coming in and out of his house from the eyes of those watching him.
Might as well just live here.
Who knows, given the current situation, how long the master above can sit in that position, how long this dynasty can last, and how long he can temporarily take over the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Given the current situation, they still need to make some preparations as soon as possible.
As for the deposed emperor, who was hiding somewhere, he hadn't bothered to look for him. A deposed emperor whose reputation had been so tarnished could never become emperor again. He would spend his entire life hiding, never again standing before the public.
The emperor wanted to find the deposed emperor simply to seek revenge.
That was a grudge between the two brothers. Lu Mingfei didn't want to waste too much time on that kind of thing. He had more important things to do right now.
Spring was about to begin, and he needed to arrange for people to go to Tong County to plant crops. This was related to their food reserves for this year and next. Given the current situation, buying food from outside was probably impossible, so he had to find a way to grow it himself.
Now he was in Kyoto Prefecture and couldn't leave for a while, so Tong County needed someone to take his place. The person he found to take his place was his senior brother Fu Boming.
He also had his eyes on another person, Fu Lianxin who was in prison.
***
On the night when Fu Lianxin in prison "died suddenly of illness", Fu Lianxin himself appeared in his courtyard.
The first time he saw Fu Lianxin, Lu Mingfei expressed his apology, "I'm sorry, but the fastest way I can think of to get you out is this. I'll have to put you in this situation for a while."
"It's nothing. I want to thank you for being willing to get involved in my affairs at this time." Fu Lianxin knew very well that Lu Mingfei took a great risk to get him out of jail.
If the emperor in the imperial city knew about this, I'm afraid Lu Mingfei would also be implicated by him.
He thought so in his heart and asked it out loud, "You are helping me so much, aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"Since I dare to do it, there is no reason to be afraid."
Lu Mingfei smiled and sat down on the chair. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Fu Lianxin and himself. "Have some tea."
"Thank you." Fu Lianxin looked at Lu Mingfei in front of him and felt that the Lu Mingfei in front of him was very different from the Lu Mingfei he knew before.
The impression I had of Lu Mingfei was that he came from a poor family. Although he didn't have the inferiority complex that other children from poor families have, he was still a little timid when faced with difficulties. But the Lu Mingfei in front of me, when he smiled, had a kind of unbridled and flamboyant air.
It seems like he is fearless.
He seemed to be meeting Lu Mingfei for the first time and couldn't help but take another look at the person in front of him.
The two people's eyes met, and Lu Mingfei didn't beat around the bush and asked Fu Lianxin directly, "Did you participate in the collusion with the Hu people?"
"No." Fu Lianxin shook his head.
"Could you swear a solemn oath?" It wasn't that Lu Mingfei didn't trust Fu Lianxin, but he needed a guarantee.
Fu Lianxin looked at Lu Mingfei without flinching, raised his hand, raised three fingers and swore to the sky: "If I collude with the barbarians, my deceased grandfather will go to the eighteen levels of hell and never rise again."
"I believe you." Lu Mingfei knew that Fu Lianxin had a good relationship with his grandfather, Old Master Fu. Fu Lianxin dared to swear on his dead grandfather, which showed that Fu Lianxin had no involvement in the collusion with the Hu people, let alone knowledge of it.
"I have something for you to do. If you're willing to do it, I'll find a way to get your family in prison to a safe place. When you've finished my work, you can go reunite with your family."
"Okay." Fu Lianxin agreed without hesitation.
Knowing that if Fu Lianxin went to Tong County, he would not be able to hide what was happening there from him. So before sending Fu Lianxin to Tong County, Lu Mingfei briefly explained the situation there to Fu Lianxin.
Of course, he did not directly state his and Zhao Lang's plans and intentions.
However, some basic information about Tong County and their layout in Tong County need to be told to Fu Lianxin so that when Fu Lianxin goes there to take over and help, he will know how to make arrangements.
But with Fu Lianxin's intelligence, when he heard Lu Mingfei mention Tong County, he guessed that there must be someone behind Lu Mingfei. And Lu Mingfei and the person behind him probably had deeper plans.
Thinking that Lu Mingfei could hide so deeply and for so long, he looked at Lu Mingfei with a slightly complicated look.
It's just that he was rescued from prison by Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei also promised to help him save his family, so there was no reason for him to refuse Lu Mingfei's request.
He wouldn't even ask any more questions about things that shouldn't be asked.
That night, the two people talked for half the night.
It was almost time for the morning court session, and Lu Mingfei knew their conversation for the day should end here. "It's getting late, you should go get some rest. When it gets light, someone I'll arrange will escort you out of the city, and then someone will take you to Tong County."
"Okay, thank you." Fu Lianxin nodded.
When Fu Lianxin stood up to leave, Lu Mingfei asked, "Fu Lianxin, can I trust you?"
"Okay." Fu Lianxin looked at Lu Mingfei without any hesitation, with a frank expression on his face.
"It's a pleasure to work with you." Lu Mingfei extended his hand.
Fu Lianxin looked at Lu Mingfei's hand stretched out in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his hand.
Lu Mingfei accidentally grabbed Fu Lianxin's hand and squeezed it hard.
Seeing Fu Lianxin looking at him, he also knew some of Fu Lianxin's inner thoughts at this time. He smiled and told Fu Lianxin, "Don't worry, I won't sell you out."
"I'm a grown man, I'm not afraid." Fu Lianxin laughed.
Seeing Fu Lianxin laugh, Lu Mingfei also laughed.
This smile between the two of them was the first smile that came from the heart and was sincere to each other since they met.
Fu Lianxin was taken to the yard next door to rest. Lu Mingfei gave Zhang Qi some instructions before letting Zhang Qi rest for a while and set off with Fu Lianxin after dawn.
His senior brother had already set off a few days ago and went to Tong County to help him take over the overall situation.
The reason he asked Fu Lianxin to come was because he knew that Fu Lianxin was a talented and good-natured young man. It would be a pity if such a person was buried for political reasons.
Since you, the emperor, don't want such talents, don't blame him for kidnapping her.
As for transferring Zhang Qi here, it was to let Zhang Qi keep an eye on Fu Lianxin.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Fu Lianxin, but there were some things where one had to be prepared for the worst. After all, if what he and Zhao Lang were planning were exposed, his entire clan would be implicated.
"Let's go." After changing into an official uniform, Lu Mingfei got on the carriage that took him to the morning court.
Seeing their master working so hard and not sleeping all night, Guard Ma said with some concern: "Master, please close your eyes and get some sleep in the carriage."
"Okay, got it."
In order to make it easier for him to sleep in the carriage, a layer of cushions and blankets were laid on the floor.
Lu Mingfei had been busy recently and had slept in the carriage quite a bit. Once inside, he lay down on the blanket.
Then he felt the carriage move.
He fell asleep in a short while after rocking... Author's words: Thanks to Bole 9492239 (9492239) for supporting me, mua! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading
