    ?

    "You are guilty of deceiving the emperor." The old hag in Xiaozhuang's voice was flat, but her tone was full of murderous intent, "You knew the identity of the emperor a long time ago, but you just pretended not to know, took the opportunity to flatter and please the emperor, right?  ? Seriously, the Ai family can spare you!"

    "Is there a flaw in mine?" Fatty Lu was shocked, but his long-tested fat face reflexively showed a puzzled look as if he saw an alien, and said in a confused way:  "Wei Chen already knew the identity of the emperor? Empress Dowager Lafayette, are you talking about Wei Chen?"

    "Grandmother, how do you know this?" Xiao Mazi was also very surprised, and turned his eyes to Xiaozhuang, thinking what happened to my grandmother, why is she like Kong Sizhen and Zhou Chang, just because Lu Yifeng is not  Pleasing to the eye?  ¡ª¡ªI think Fatty Lu is pretty good.

    Xiao Zhuang sneered and remained silent, tilted his head, and winked at La Aunt Su Ma who was next to her. La Aunt Su Ma understood, stepped forward and said lightly: "Lu Yifeng, it's useless for you to pretend. Since you don't know the emperor  The real identity of the emperor, and the two meetings with the emperor who was privately interviewed by Weifu, and the conversation for a long time, so the voice of the emperor must be very familiar - just now when you knelt down on the ground, you heard the voice of the emperor "

    "This minister thinks the emperor's voice is very familiar!" Fatty Lu is so cunning, just halfway through Lagu Su Ma's words, Fatty Lu immediately understood where his fault lies.  So Fatty Lu hurriedly interrupted Aunt Su Ma, and rushed to say: "This lady must want to say, since I feel that the voice of the emperor is very familiar, why don't you look up first?"

    "That's right." La Aunt Su Ma nodded, and said, "It's the first time you saw the emperor, and you thought the emperor's voice was familiar, but you didn't look up. Is this unreasonable? This also proves one thing,  You already knew the identity of the emperor, so you were not surprised to hear the emperor's voice."

    Xiao Mazi's face elongated a little, and only then did he realize that Fatty Lu's reaction was indeed a bit unreasonable.  But Fatty Lu was not in a hurry, just kowtowed and said: "The emperor's lesson, the empress dowager Lafayette's lesson, I have the laws of the Qing Dynasty, and I am not allowed to look up at the king. It is a crime of disrespect!" There are also "Thousand Characters"  Zai, lead step by step, and look up to the temple. It is also said that as a courtier, you must be careful in your behavior, respectful and respectful, and you must not be negligent! As an official of the court, how dare you violate ethics? So Wei  Although I feel that the voice of the emperor is quite familiar, I dare not break the law and look up."

    Fatty Lu's words were indeed sophistry, but they also made some sense, which made it impossible to refute. Therefore, after hearing Fatty Lu's explanation, Xiao Zhuang and La Aunt Su Ma were inevitably stunned and speechless for a while.  Xiao Mazi nodded slightly, agreeing with Fatty Lu's approach - after all, this bullshit law also respects his imperial dignity, Xiao Mazi can't think that Fatty Lu should despise the dignity of imperial power, can he?

    To be honest, Xiao Zhuang's suspicion of Fatty Lu was entirely based on the intuition of a politician and an old fox, and there was no real evidence at all. Just now, he managed to catch a little loophole to attack, but Fatty Lu immediately dismissed it lightly, no matter his expression,  His tone and words did not reveal any flaws, so that although Xiaozhuang's doubts were hard to dispel, he couldn't help being shaken in his heart-could he really be too suspicious and wronged this fat man Lu?  After thinking for a long time, Xiao Zhuang nodded slightly, and said: "In this way, Aijia and Su Ma really wronged you, let's get back together."

    "Thank you, Empress Dowager Lafayette." Fatty Lu kowtowed again, then stood up, and quietly looked at the famous Xiaozhuang Dayuer in history from the corner of his eyes-to Fatty Lu's great disappointment, he was over half a hundred years old.  Xiaozhuang is no longer even considered a mistress, at most she can be compared to the Empress Dowager Cixi in the photo, or even worse.

    "Lu Aiqing." When Fatty Lu stood still, Xiao Mazi immediately asked impatiently: "What is your background?"

    "Back to the emperor, I was born as a scholar." Fatty Lu replied honestly: "This year, I only passed the examination of a scholar in the Dali Mansion Court Examination. Because I know that I am not a material for reading sage books, I spent three thousand taels  Silver donated a seventh-rank official. Later, it happened that there was a vacancy in Qujing county. Thanks to the emperor's grace, Prince Pingxi favored him and gave the missing finger to this minister. Only then did the minister come to Beijing to meet his majesty, and was fortunate to see the holy face.  "

    Xiao Mazi has already memorized Fatty Lu's resume by heart. Seeing that Fatty Lu is quite honest, Xiao Mazi used this to say: "Lu Aiqing, I see that your conversation and knowledge are not like those who can't read.  Kind of person? Since you are extremely talented and have already passed the examination of scholar, why don't you continue to take the examination of Jinshi and take the dignified imperial examination? Do you have to take the shortcut of donating to become an official?"

    "Returning to the emperor, humble ministers are not talented, and you can learn those heretical tricks and ingenious obscenities, but you can learn them easily and easily." Fatty Lu said with a sad face: "Say the will!  "

    "My humble minister thanked Lord Long En!" Fatty Lu shouted excitedly, kowtowed desperately and saluted, and said with tears in his eyes: "My humble minister thanked Lord Long En, my humble minister thanked the Empress Dowager, my humble minister thanked the Empress Dowager!"

    "Don't be so busy thanking you, I still have something to ask you." Xiao Mazi interrupted Fatty Lu's thanks, and asked darkly: "Last time when you were in the official department, you were dragged to Aozhongtang by Ashara.  What did I say to you?"

    "Ao Zhongtang asked Wei Chen about Fujian." Fatty Lu didn't hesitate, and immediately told the whole story of what happened that day without hiding anything - this kind of thing that provokes Aobai and Xiao Mazi to turn against each other is also used.  There is no need to hide.  And when Fatty Lu said that Oboi cared about the military salary of Yunnan and Guizhou, Xiao Mazi and Xiaozhuang nodded again, and their impression of Oboi improved somewhat.

    Honestly explaining what happened at Oboi's house that day, Fatty Lu naturally had to mention the fact that Oboi bribed him to win him over, and when Fatty Lu said that he firmly refused, Xiao Mazi finally caught another topic and asked  : "Lu Aiqing, Ao Zhongtang recommends you to be a salt road inspector in Huaihe River and Huaihe River. This is one of the most lucrative jobs in the world, and the purpose is just to help him pay the Yunnan-Guizhou military salary from Wu Yingxiong. Why do you have to refuse?"

    "Returning to the emperor, Prince Pingxi's kindness to my minister is as great as a mountain, and my minister dare not do things like selling the owner to seek glory." Fatty Lu replied honestly.

    "Then, what if I want to win over you too? Are you willing to betray Prince Pingxi?" Xiao Mazi finally turned to the topic and asked with a smile.

    Fatty Lu hesitated, wanting to agree, but he was afraid that Xiao Mazi would be suspicious, but fortunately, Fatty Lu soon told another story, and said: "Back to the emperor, I wonder if the emperor has ever heard the story of Buguishou medicine?  People have medicine that can cure hands and feet cracking in winter. For generations, they have been washing for a living, and the annual income is only a few gold. A guest heard that he bought it for a hundred gold and offered it to the King of Wu. When Wuyue fought on the water in winter, the Wu army used this medicine.  Crack, victory over the Yue Kingdom! Wu Wangxi, crack the soil and seal the guest!"

    "Your Majesty, Ao Zhongtang is not the King of Wu." Fatty Lu showed such a cunning smile, and said flatteringly, "Your Majesty, you are the true Son of Heaven."

    Xiao Mazi and Xiaozhuang looked at each other again, both satisfied with Fatty Lu's smart choice.  At that moment Xiao Zhuang agreed with his eyes, and Xiao Mazi said, "Lu Aiqing, since you compare yourself to Wu Ke, what about your ingenuity?"

    "Return to the emperor, this prescription is not in the hands of this minister." Fatty Lu said with a mournful face: "I swear to God, so far, the son of the world has not told this minister a single word of this prescription!"

    Xiao Mazi lowered his face, secretly scolded Wu Yingxiong for being cunning, and refused to reveal the truth to his confidants.  Fatty Lu observed his words and took the opportunity to say, "However, I do know that there is another person besides the Shizi himself who knows the prescription of this medicine."

    "Who?" Xiao Mazi asked quickly.

    "Back to the emperor, it is Lin Tianqing, the former governor of Yunnan." Fatty Lu said in a deep voice: "The prince asked this minister to participate in this matter, but the prince is not at ease with this minister, and he did not let this minister get in touch with this core secret.  The minister helped to act with some documents related to this matter. But Lin Tianqing, as the former governor of Yunnan, Mr. Lin is familiar with Yunnan's military and political affairs, has rich experience, and is a family friend with Prince Pingxi, so the prince discussed this matter with him."

    "Lin Tianqing?" Xiao Mazi's expression darkened, and he immediately remembered that he had suppressed the recommendation of all the officials and resolutely rejected Lin Tianqing, and then remembered Li Tianyu, who he was optimistic about, and Li Tianyu's case in the assassination of Nan Huairen  Ugly, I couldn't help but secretly said in my heart: "It seems that I should summon this Lin Tianqing?"

    "I don't dare to hide it." Fatty Lu peeked at Xiao Mazi's face from the corner of his eye, and said cautiously: "The fact that the prescription is in Master Lin's hands is actually Master Lin who quietly told Wei Chen after he heard that the emperor had summoned the minister.  I hope that I will find an opportunity to report this to the emperor."

    "The old man also has the idea of ??selling prescriptions?" Xiao Mazi heard the sound knowingly, turned his head to look at Xiao Zhuang, but saw Xiao Zhuang turning his head to look at himself.  Eyes met, Xiao Zhuang nodded.  (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
