"Lord Luo, you're too polite. It's just a small effort, so what kind of kindness can you say?" Su Ziji showed a smile and shook his head slightly.
Luo Pei also smiled: "You are the only one who can help me, Duke Dai."
"Luo was deeply touched by his imprisonment this time. Fortunately, Luo has been notified and may be able to leave in two or three days."
Su Ziji understood that he had received the notice, and according to the court's procedures, it would only take two or three days for the procedures to be approved.
Although Luo Pei's change in attitude cannot be called earth-shaking, the fact that he could say these words already represented his alienation from the King of Shu and his party.
This is surrender.
Yes, just the indifference of the King of Shu was enough to make Luo Pei sad.
When Luo Pei said this, he was not without sadness. He was not a person who would turn to others because of fear of death or greed for wealth. But he was also a human being, and he had seven emotions and six desires, so he needed warmth.
A lord who evades himself at a critical moment, doesn't even show his face, and doesn't even send a servant to come, what need is there for him to be loyal?
"During these days in prison, I have never said a word against the King of Shu. As the King of Shu thought, I have ended my relationship with him and my friendship has been reconciled. After I am released from prison, I have nothing to do with him anymore.
." Luo Pei thought slightly sadly, looking at the young Duke in front of him, he felt a little warm in his heart.
Only minors talk about intentions, adults only talk about reality. As for bad intentions? A seven-year-old child?
Although the King of Shu never came once, Duke Dai came many times, which at least shows that Duke Dai was thirsty for talents, and he himself was not bad enough to be abandoned by others.
Being abandoned by the King of Shu was just because he chose the wrong person.
Hearing Luo Pei's words, Su Ziji's worry finally dissipated. Wasn't he planning for so long just to bring Luo Pei into his camp?
The King of Shu did not know how to cherish Luo Pei, but Su Ziji did not have such "luxury". Luo Pei was willing to surrender to him, and he was very happy.
Jian Qu went out for a while, and when he came back, he saw his master talking to Luo Pei in a low voice. He stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "My lord, I just received news that Mr. Fang Xiaohou was injured when he was chasing the big demon."
He was seriously injured and was sent back to Huaifenghou Mansion. The big demon ran away."
"What?" Su Ziji changed color slightly.
I thought that the Imperial City Division sent out all the elites to at least save Zhou Xuan's life, but I didn't expect that the Imperial City Division paid so much attention to the Emperor's Great Return Pill and allowed Zhou Xuan to escape from the capital.
This was a big deal, and it was more urgent than staying here to keep in touch with Luo Pei. Su Ziji had no choice but to say: "Master Luo, I still have urgent matters to deal with. I will take a step first and wait for you to be released from prison before I go to invite you!"
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Jian Qu raised his hand towards Luo Pei and followed him.
Their footsteps faded away, and the prison officer returned, slowly locking the cell again.
Luo Pei slowly walked back to the chair and sat down, frowning slightly: "Did something big happen again?"
His brows were a bit gloomy. As a high-ranking official, he knew very well that even if many things were set in stone, once there was a big change, everything would be turned upside down immediately, and nothing would count.
Outside the prison, as soon as Su Ziji came out, he walked quickly to the bullock cart.
"Go to Huaifenghou Mansion."
As soon as he and Jian Qu got up, the bullock cart started moving.
The current Marquis of Huaifeng is Fang Zhen’s father. Although most people who know Fang Zhen respectfully call Fang Zhen the Young Marquis, but really speaking, Fang Zhen is just the next Marquis of Huaifeng in the eyes of the world. The old Marquis of Huaifeng will not die.
This marquis would not fall on Fang Zhen's head.
The Marquis of Huaifeng passed down to Fang Zhen's father's generation, which is already the second generation. The first generation of Marquis Huaifeng died a few years after the founding of the country. On the one hand, it did avoid the whirlpool of the founding of the country, but it also did not gain more capital for future generations.
.
The current Marquis of Huaifeng is not considered incompetent, he can only be regarded as average and not very outstanding. However, just being incompetent and being lost among the nobles is enough to gradually decline the family status.
After all, it has been more than 30 years since the founding of Dazheng. There are many nobles and royal relatives. In addition, there is no shortage of people in the court. Even if the title is hereditary and unreplaceable, without influence and power, there will be no shortage of people.
It can only be reduced to the second or third rate.
That is to say, Fang Zhen grew up and found some connections, especially the road of eunuchs, so that the Huaifeng Marquis Mansion finally made some progress. Given time, when Fang Zhen took over the Marquis, he might be able to protect the Marquis Mansion a little longer.
Ten years of scenery.
"But Fang was seriously injured. Just in case, it may not be possible..."
Su Ziji narrowed his eyes. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be a pity. He has seen this kind of thing many times, but Fang Zhen is different.
The scene when I met Fang Zhen for the first time came to mind. At that time, I was just a child and was forced by the gangsters in Linhua County. No matter what the purpose was, at least I lent a helping hand to Su Zi.
A sum of silver.
From now on, there will be more good luck.
No matter which aspect he was considering, he had to visit and help. Su Ziji let out a breath, and suddenly had murderous intentions in his heart towards Zhou Xuan who had escaped from the capital.
It is harmful to him, but he is still capable of escaping from the capital while being hunted by the Imperial City Division. If this monster is left unchecked, it will be a serious problem, and it must be eradicated as soon as possible!
"Sir, the Marquis of Huaifeng's Mansion has arrived." Soon, the ox cart slowly stopped and the driver reminded.
Jian Qu jumped out of the car first, and then helped Su Ziji down.
Looking up at the four golden characters "Huaifenghou Mansion", Su Ziji sighed softly and stepped up the steps.
When he arrived, an ox cart had parked outside the Huaifeng Marquis Mansion, and a steward was sending people out. When he saw Su Ziji coming in person, the steward, who had recognized Su Ziji's identity, was stunned and rushed to
Salute before you.
"Young man, I've met Duke Dai!"
"Has the young Marquis returned to the mansion?" Su Ziji asked him directly as he stood up.
The housekeeper said hurriedly: "The eldest son has been sent back. He is inside. Are you here to see the eldest son? Please come here!"
Then he led Su Zi to Jili.
Jian Qu followed and arrived at the main courtyard, but did not see Fang Zhen immediately. Su Ziji first met Marquis Huaifeng who came out after hearing the news.
Marquis Huaifeng is about forty years old, with a white face and short beard. He looks elegant, but he still looks a bit rough.
"I've met Duke Dai." The two men's titles were not much different, and after meeting each other, Su Ziji asked about Fang Zhen's situation.
"I can't thank you enough for your concern on behalf of the Duke." Marquis Huaifeng seemed to be moved, his voice choked with sobs: "It's just that the dog's condition is really not good."
Su Ziji frowned, and he learned more details from Marquis Huaifeng.
It turned out that Fang Zhen and Supervisor Zhao had allowed Zhou Xuan to escape from the capital. This responsibility was not small. Even the two of them could not bear the responsibility, so they immediately sent troops to chase him out.
As a result, Zhou Xuan was calm and calm. When he was injured, all his followers were dead, and he was near the capital, he not only did not flee in a hurry, but also attacked and killed him at night.
