Before the imperial eunuch came, Mrs. Jiang Zhengmo rubbed the list in his hand, crossed out Lu Qi's name with a movement of the cinnabar pen, and sighed: "Don't blame the old man for being ruthless, you know so many things, how can you feel at ease if you want to ask the old man to go?" ”

This sigh also saved two points of sincerity, and the loss of a sharp weapon was something he didn't want after all.

It was dim and dark outside, and I couldn't see the moment, Mrs. Jiang was a little anxious, her right eye jumped, how to calculate, three or four hours have passed, and the three teams of night doves sent out should come back, why did they send someone to report the letter once and cut off contact, I'm afraid it's not good.

Tapping his fingertips on the tabletop, Mrs. Jiang's face became more and more calm.

"Your Excellency."

Mrs. Jiang, who was almost asleep, was woken up by a quick call, his face was displeased, he looked at the still gloomy sky on the window, and asked sharply, "When is it?" Is the night dove back? ”

The subordinate who came to report shrank back, and his voice trembled slightly: "Back to my lord, it's three o'clock in the unitary hour, and it's Gonggong Lu in the palace who is here." ”

"Father-in-law Lu? At this time, the capital palace forbade him to come and do it. Pass him in. ”

In this gap, Mrs. Jiang squinted his eyes and thought carefully about what was wrong recently, but in addition to admonishing Qi Long with capital punishment several times to make an example, he didn't even care about his 'underground palace', how could he provoke a sudden visit from the imperial eunuch.

Puzzled, Gonggong Lu was already standing in front of Mrs. Jiang, bowed, but avoided the greeting steps, and asked straight to the point:

"Master Taifu, what a presumptuousness, Your Majesty asked the miscellaneous family to ask where the Taoist you found in the palace before is now?"

Road? Jiang Taifu immediately thought of the old Taoist he sent to His Majesty's side when the emperor first ascended the throne, but the old Taoist was born with a fairy wind and a bone but he was greedy for money, and he used his money to do things with him, which not only provoked the emperor's long-standing dissatisfaction with the Xiao family, so that the emperor alienated and snubbed the Xiao family, but also made the Jiang family, who was only a second-rate nobleman at that time, leap to the top, and with the secret support of the emperor, there was a faint tendency to compete with the century-old Xiao family.

But this thing he did secretly, and the people who knew it were all done without leaving a trace, of course, even the old road that was leaving the county capital with a huge amount of gold on his back was also buried in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing. is so thorough, it shouldn't have been discovered by the emperor, and if the emperor really knew the origin of that person, it would not just be as simple as a royal eunuch, and the imperial forest army would have besieged the mansion a long time ago.

Therefore, Mrs. Jiang felt that this eighty percent was some kind of misunderstanding or temptation, and after pressing the list full of his cronies and henchmen under the other papers, he raised his head and smiled:

"Did the old man hear it wrong? Road? The old man didn't believe that, and he wanted to find a Taoist, but he was afraid that his father-in-law would find the wrong person. ”

"Master Taifu, think about it again?" Seeing that Taifu Jiang was at a loss and didn't know what he was doing, Gonggong Lu was in trouble, and he couldn't figure out for a while whether the news of the attack on Yunshang Palace was wrong or whether Taifu Jiang was pretending to be deep, so he could only continue to ask: "The saint said that the humane law is profound, and I want to invite you into the palace to talk about it, if Lord Taifu is looking for that person, it is also a credit, why should he refuse?" ”

Father-in-law Lu naturally didn't know about those twists and turns, but he only knew that this person was the last life-saving straw of the saint, and because of his trust, he even ventured out of the palace to invite this person. Naturally, the words can't be explained to Jiang Taifu, and the problems on the saint's body can't be known by Jiang Taifu, so he can only find a fake oracle to explore Jiang Taifu, if he still can't invite the Taoist out of the mountain, he can only find another way.

This kind of head-off thing Jiang Taifu has not been arrogant enough to admit frankly, it is one thing to be ambitious, and the imperial prestige planted by the emperor for a long time still makes Jiang Taifu jealous.

But listening to the sincerity in Grandpa Lu's words, Jiang Taifu was a little hesitant when he refused again, the emperor was so eager to find this Taoist, did he really ask for something? Thinking of the exhaustion of the emperor this morning, Jiang Taifu had a flash of inspiration, and couldn't help but guess that the emperor had the intention to seek immortality. It is rumored that the seeds of Jiu Sui He were robbed on the way to the capital, and there is no whereabouts so far.

In the past, Taifu Jiang would probably laugh at this unrealistic madness, but as he gradually reached the pinnacle of power, he often struck with the powerlessness of aging, and he also dreamed countless times in his dreams that he met the immortals, and gave him the elixir of immortality, not to mention the elixir of immortality, but the overflowing happiness was the torment of waking up from a dream.

I want more, and more.

After a moment's distraction, Mrs. Jiang already had an idea, and invited Gonggong Lu to sit on the couch next to him with a pleasant face, deliberately showing embarrassment, fiddling with the folds on the cushions on the couch and saying: "Grandpa Lu, the old man doesn't know such a Taoist, and he doesn't have to lie." ”

Gonggong Lu was a little disappointed, and he was about to stand up when he stood up, and his face was very dark.

"But the old man's inner son is a believer in these, she often mentions a Taoist that is also a capable person, what are the obscure things in the capital, those women and Taoist people will find this Taoist to explain that it is the extreme spirit, there is a headache and brain fever to find this Taoist person to talk about a cure and heal, God is very. However, it is all passed down from generation to generation by ignorant women and children in the inner court, and it is not enough to believe it. ”

But it's enough to get rid of the obscure! The Taoist who can do the Dharma in the capital is not an idle person.

Father-in-law Lu almost jumped up happily, couldn't hide his joy, waved his hand and smiled:

"My lord's words are biased, the woman is a housekeeper, she has her own doorway, Xu is really blessed by Da Luo Jinxian, and the miscellaneous family will not delay the time, just make a long story short, tomorrow it will be troublesome for Mrs. Ling to find this person and send it to the palace, and she will go to welcome her when she arrives at the Vermilion Bird Gate."

"It is very good and good to be able to share the sorrows of the saints."

Jiang Taifu is also happy that he has bet on the right treasure, not to mention that he can get a little merit in front of the emperor, just say that the emperor believes in the Tao, and he can make a good old way, so that the emperor can soar as soon as possible, and go to get together with the emperors who took alchemy in the old days.

Just sent away the imperial eunuch, the rain gradually stopped, the lead clouds dispersed, the bright crescent moon hung high, Mrs. Jiang suddenly came to the interest, called the next person on the pot of old flower carving, sat in the pavilion in the garden to drink alone to the moon, but did not feel lonely at all, couldn't help humming a little song.

There is a saying that 'Fusheng steals half a day of leisure' Mrs. Jiang no longer thinks about those messy official affairs, and is so troubled by Father-in-law Lu that he leaves the night dove behind, and there is only him in heaven and earth. It would be even more beautiful if there was Qin Cry with him at this moment, and another sip of sweet wine entered his throat, Mrs. Jiang smacked his lips and imagined the pillar beside him as Qin Cry.

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong!"
