"Brother Jiang, brother Jiang, you're finally here…"
The prison door of the Supreme Court opened. When Wu Sangui saw Jiang Feng, he pounced on him with disheveled hair."What did I do? How…how could he be locked up in this prison?”
"Brother."
Jiang Feng started with tears and snot. He held Wu Sangui's hand tightly through the railing door."It's my fault, it's all my fault. If he had known that his older brother didn't drink too much at his younger brother's place, he wouldn't have gotten into such a mess.”
"Um…"
Wu Sangui was confused and spat."What…what did I do?"
"Sigh!"
Jiang Feng lowered his head and bit his lip, looking extremely sorrowful."Brother, you might not know this, but after getting drunk last night, you insisted on killing Qian Longxi, Chen Yan, and the others. With your weak body, how could you be your opponent?”
“……”
Wu Sangui's eyes bulged, and his Adam's apple swelled."Kill…kill the assistant minister Qian Longxi?”
"Exactly."
Jiang Feng wiped his red eyes and shook his head."Big brother heard that little brother killed Qian Qianyi and robbed Zhou Yanru's mansion. After the older brother got drunk, he praised the younger brother for his manly behavior, so he insisted on imitating him…"
Wu Sangui was stunned.
Scratching his head and frowning, he began to recall.
He had indeed heard Jiang Feng mention the matter of copying Zhou Yan's scholarly faction, but after drinking, he had lost his memory and completely forgot what he had done.
This was a f * cking pain in the ass.
Looking at Jiang Feng's tearful expression, Wu Sangui gradually believed it and said in fear,"Brother, is…is Qian Longxi still alive?”
"People are alive."
Jiang Feng didn't know how Qian Longxi and Chen Yan were doing, but he was just making it up.
"It's good that you're alive! It's good that you're alive…"
Wu Sangui's anxious heart dropped, and he let out a long sigh.
"It's just…it's just that Qian Longxi and Wei Zaode gathered the Donglin Party and advised His Majesty to sentence my brother to the death penalty of treason and throw him into the imperial prison to await execution.”
"Ah…"
Before Jiang Feng could finish his sentence, Wu Sangui was once again terrified. He was so scared that his entire body trembled."What did Your Majesty say?"
"Sigh!"
Jiang Feng sighed again." The Donglin Party is in control of the court. What can Your Majesty do?"”
“……”
Wu Sangui's heart trembled violently. He said nervously,"If that's the case, I…I won't be able to live for long?”
"Brother, don't be afraid."
After bragging and setting up a trap, Jiang Feng began to reel in the net and said,"This matter was caused by my younger brother. How can I let my older brother bear the responsibility? Therefore…my brother went to the palace to meet the Emperor that night and knelt outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity for six hours before His Majesty gave me his opinion.”
"Little brother!"
Hearing this, Wu Sangui shed tears of gratitude and held Jiang Feng's hand with extra strength.
"Coincidentally, the war outside the pass was intense. The governor of Ji Liao, Hong Chengchou, sent an urgent report for help. The entire court retreated. The younger brother thought that his older brother was still suffering in this prison and had no choice but to take on such a huge responsibility alone.”
Jiang Feng's emotions rose. He clenched his fists and vowed,"Moreover, my younger brother has made a military pledge to His Majesty. Within a year, he will wipe out the Manchu Iron Cavalry and return a peaceful place to the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. If you can't do it, I'll offer you my head.”
“……”
Wu Sangui's heart was about to explode. He slammed his fist on the cell door."My silly little brother, you…you…how…how can you be so stupid? Do you know that the Manchu Steel Cavalry is like a stubborn grassland, how…how can they be easily eradicated? Forget about a year, even if it was ten years…Sigh, you…why did you make such a military pledge?”
"In order to save my brother, I can't care so much.”
Jiang Feng's shamelessness was completely superb. His expression was as realistic as it could be. He said happily,"His Majesty agreed to let my brother resume his position and gave my brother the right to recruit money and food for the northern expedition.”
The last sentence was the truth.
Reinstating Wu Sangui was also Jiang Feng and Chongzhen's last request, and the old thief Emperor agreed.
As for the previous ones, they were all f * cking bragging.
However, Wu Sangui believed it and was touched. She hated herself for not being a woman. Otherwise, she would have given herself to him.
In the end, Chongzhen personally drafted a pardon letter, and the jailers of the Supreme Court prison had no choice but to do as they were told.
After opening the cell door and untying the chains, Wu Sangui threw himself into a bear hug and said heavily,""Little brother! Until now, her brother had nothing to repay her, but…if she needed her brother in the future, she would do anything she wanted, even if she had to go through fire and water.”
"Eh…"
Jiang Feng was not too excited. He was dejected and looked like he was about to die."Although His Majesty has given him great power, he can exploit the money and food of officials at all levels in the country. This matter is easy to say but difficult to do.”
"What's so difficult about that?"
Coming out of the Supreme Court, Wu Sangui took a deep breath of the bright weather and fresh air. He was so happy.
"Don't worry, little brother. Since it's His Majesty's decree, we'll do as he says.”
Wu Sangui patted the weeds on his body and put his arm on Jiang Feng."I know what little brother is worried about. If you don't mind, I'll help you with this matter.”
"No…"
Jiang Feng didn't even think and quickly shook his head."Big brother just got out of prison, you can't cause any more trouble.”
"Brother, you misunderstood."
Wu Sangui smiled, looking unfathomable.""Although elder brother has not been an official in the court for a long time, he is still more aware of the matters of officialdom than younger brother. His Majesty's imperial edict was the greatest amulet. As long as it was here, what was there for his brother to be afraid of? Let's go! Just accumulate wealth."
