Chapter 151 After all, this matter is too explosive!
"Go, bring her back to me." Lu Yanshi couldn't bear it any longer, so he interrupted Lu Li's inner complaints and asked Cao Dehai to do it.
After all, not many people know Su Jiaojiao's true identity, and he is one of them.
He was worried about letting others handle this matter.
His trusted steward has to go there too.
…
Seeing Cao Dehai coming to pick him up in person.
Su Jiaojiao held her head high and was very proud.
See? The emperor's chief steward came to pick her up personally. How honorable!
This was also Cao Dehai's first time in such a place, and he was almost pissed off by Su Jiaojiao's audacious behavior.
More than one thousand taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of five to use for several lifetimes!
She spent all the money in one night.
Cao Dehai negotiated with the madam with a sullen face, and finally he bargained down the price. He paid for a few jugs of wine and spent three hundred taels of silver before he could take the person away.
When they left, Huang Fangping, the chief academician of the Imperial College, also walked out of the Xianggu Pavilion.
"Isn't that Cao Dehai?" He rubbed his eyes and looked at their leaving backs in disbelief.
Although Cao Dehai was wearing a veil and had changed his clothes, he still recognized him at a glance.
"What is he doing here?" Huang Fangping was full of doubts.
He went to ask the brothel owner.
I learned that a girl came last night and had sex with three men. She owed some money, which was just redeemed by her family.
Huang Fangping reacted immediately.
He must be someone from the royal family, which is why the emperor sent Cao Dehai on this trip.
Who could it be?
He started to make some calculations.
He inquired carefully with the brothel owner and learned that the girl was beautiful and young.
He then went to the palace to check the seats assigned to him.
The only ones who match in age are the new lady Rou Meiren, the previous lady Yu Meiren, and the two princesses.
The second princess has now gone to the border, fighting with Concubine Shu, and has not returned yet.
It can't be her.
That leaves only three others.
The probability of two beauties leaving was not high either. After all, that was the harem, and how could concubines leave the palace easily?
Huang Fangping thought about it and finally set his target on Lu Yao.
I heard that a few days ago, the eldest princess and her husband had some conflicts because of Pei family's affairs, which also caused the first and second branches of the Pei family to separate.
Could it be that the eldest princess was so angry that she came to the Elephant House to seek excitement because she was dissatisfied with her husband?
The more Huang Fangping analyzed, the more he felt that he had guessed the truth.
Only the eldest princess could be so valued by the emperor that he would send his trusted chief steward to pick her up.
He sent someone to inquire about it and found out that the eldest princess had not been on duty for three days.
"That must be it!" Huang Fangping slapped his thigh and decided to go back and write a memorial to report to the princess.
He was a stubborn person and had always disagreed with the emperor's implementation of the college entrance examination, and even more so with women serving as officials in the court.
He was very excited to be able to catch Lu Yao.
So he wrote several pages of memorial and prepared to submit it to the court the next day.
…
Su Jiaojiao was brought back to the palace.
"You still have the nerve to come back? Do you want to piss me off to death?" Lu Yanshi looked at her unhappily.
"You're not dead, are you?" Su Jiaojiao muttered softly.
Lu Yanshi: ...
"Remember, you owe me 1,200 taels of silver, you have to find a way to pay it back." He stared at her with gritted teeth.
[Hey, didn't Eunuch Cao bargain for the price? ]
[Why does the emperor want Su Jiaojiao to pay more than one thousand taels of silver? ]
Lu Li was a little curious.
Lu Yanshi remained calm and showed no sign of shame at all.
Isn't he doing this to teach this vixen a lesson and to replenish the national treasury at the same time?
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao nodded indifferently.
Anyway, there are plenty of men willing to spend money on her.
When the time comes, we can ask for a little from here and a little from there, and soon we will be able to gather enough money to return the money to the dog emperor.
"Is there anything else? If nothing else, I'll go back to sleep." She yawned.
"Yes. I'll leave this man to you. You must capture him before he leaves Daxia." Lu Yanshi gestured to Cao Dehai and handed her a portrait.
"Go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to ask Huo Yizhou about this man's specific situation. From now on, you will be under his care. If you are detained in the brothel again, go find him and don't send letters to the palace anymore."
When Lu Yanshi thought of this, his face turned pale.
It would be better for him to hand over this hot potato as soon as possible. If he were to directly manage this vixen, it would be too easy for something to go wrong.
"I just got hurt in love, and you sent me to seduce men, dog..." Su Jiaojiao almost said the words "dog emperor".
She quickly changed the subject: "It's tiring enough."
It seems that you should scold less in normal times. If you scold Lu Yanshi as a dog emperor in person one day, you will be killed.
"I am sympathizing with you and giving you a chance to forget your old love. With a new love, you won't think about that stinky man Fu Bi anymore." Lu Yanshi gave a lot of reasons.
It was clearly oppression of the subordinate, but he felt that it was all for his own good.
When she saw him mention Fu Bi, a trace of sadness flashed across Su Jiaojiao's face.
"I understand." She snorted and decided to leave the palace to admire her "masterpiece".
What's the point of revenge if you don't add insult to injury or beat the dog when it's down?
She came to the inn she stayed at last night.
Fu Bi has been rescued and is no longer here.
Although Fu Bi left, the topic about him did not stop.
After all, this is too explosive!
"Oh my god, I'm like a duck without feathers, hanging there, naked. I don't know who I've offended."
"Did you become an adulterer and the first wife came to punish you?"
"We ordinary people don't understand that. But the man has good capital, so he is qualified to be an adulterer."
A few middle-aged ladies were joking with each other, and the young girl beside them blushed when she heard them.
"What happened next? What happened next?" Su Jiaojiao deliberately joined in their conversation.
The old lady sneered and replied, "Later, a kind-hearted person gave him a piece of clothing. He said he was harmed by a fox spirit. I think he is the fox spirit."
"That's right. What good man would be hung up on the wall? It must be because he is not self-disciplined." Another lady echoed.
"It can't be the evil monk who escaped from Xuanshan Temple. After all, he has a bald head." A girl exclaimed.
The topic has been changed again.
During the casual conversation, I learned that Fu Bi had run away from the city.
Su Jiaojiao was too lazy to continue asking.
Forget it, let's just leave it at that.
After all, he had given so much for her, and she felt relieved after being punished like this.
From now on, let’s forget each other.
…
The next morning.
Lu Yanshi brought Lu Li to court.
When asked if he had anything important to report, Huang Fangping stood up and said, "I want to punish Minister Lu Yao for violating moral standards and openly entering Xianggu Pavilion."
He did not call Lu Yao the Grand Princess, but instead named her official position, in order to let people know that he was impeaching an official of Daxia rather than the emperor's daughter.
Lu Li:?
Lu Yanshi:?
Cao Dehai:?
When did the eldest princess go to the Elephant House?
