Chapter 1557

Chapter 1557:

“That’s right, that’s right. This is our first time here!”Jiang Fei said very cooperatively.

“No wonder then. The Lord who was riding the horse just now was the famous Prime Minister, Aldo!”The peddler said with an exaggerated expression.

“What? Is this prime minister very capable?”Jiang Fei asked curiously.

“That’s not right either. It’s mainly because his parents are capable!”The Hawker said.

“Oh? ! Could it be that he comes from a noble family?”Bella suddenly interrupted.

“Hey! You’re wrong about this lady!” The Hawker became even more enthusiastic. He suddenly put on a sly expression and said, “Aldo’s parents are not nobles. His father fixes shoes. His mother is a maid who works for other people’s families.”

“Eh? Since his parents are poor people, why do you say that he became the prime minister because of his parents’abilities?”Ariel was also attracted by the peddler’s story.

“Haha, you don’t even know about this. It seems like he really came from the countryside!”When he saw the girls looking at him, the peddler’s sense of superiority was almost bursting, then, he said with a smug look, “It’s all thanks to Aldo’s parents’ability to give birth to four beautiful sisters for him. After giving four sisters to the emperor, the Aldo family will naturally be rich and prosperous!”

“Err...”Jiang Fei was speechless. He never thought that the powerful prime minister would be able to obtain such an official position.

“Then, does Lord Aldo have any hobbies?”Jiang Fei asked casually.

...

“Hehe, you country bumpkins want to buy an official position from Aldo, right?”The peddler thought that he had seen through Jiang Fei’s intentions. However, he did not hide it, instead, he continued, “There are many country bumpkins like you. However, you are very lucky. Aldo is very greedy. Many people have bought good positions from him. However, recently, he has become even more greedy. Therefore, the asking price may be higher!”

“Okay!”Jiang Fei nodded. Then, he heard a lot of information from the vendor. However, 90% of it was junk information. The vendor was very talkative, however, in front of the girls, he seemed to be running his mouth. His words were like clouds and mist.

However, among the information, Jiang Fei also sifted out a lot of valuable information.

First of all, the position of the Prime Minister of the Empire, named Aldo, was very high. Moreover, he was deeply trusted by the emperor. As his four younger sisters were very favored, he had the right to freely enter and exit the palace.

However, as a relative, Aldo also had a common problem that all relatives had, which was greed. This was because these relatives knew very well how their status was obtained.

They were able to ascend to the throne entirely because they had relied on their own women to obtain the emperor’s favor. However, the problem was that the emperor had more than one woman. If he could dote on the women of his own family today, he might dote on other women tomorrow, once the women of his own family fell out of favor, the status of his relatives would be quickly lost, and other relatives would replace them.

Therefore, while he was in power, he risked his life to gain benefits for himself and his family. This had become a common problem after his relatives ascended to the throne. Aldo was no exception. Over the years, through selling official titles, Aldo had indeed earned a lot of money, however, recently, he had felt a crisis.

A group of unknown men had offered up a few beautiful women. These beautiful women were not as beautiful as Aldo’s younger sisters. However, he did not know if the old emperor was looking for something new or not. Therefore, he lingered in those women’s rooms every day, it had been a long time since he had gone to look for Aldo’s younger sisters.

Today, Aldo had entered the palace to discuss countermeasures with his younger sisters. If Aldo’s four younger sisters fell out of favor, his position would be lost.

“Those beauties of unknown origin must be ‘players’!”After listening to the peddler’s long-winded words, Jiang Fei had some idea.

“I think that Aldo can be used by US!”Nina said from the side. At this time, Jiang Fei and the others had already left the peddler’s place and came to a quiet place.

Although they had gathered a lot of information from the peddler, Jiang Fei and the others did not buy anything when they left. It was not that the girls did not like the silver jewelry, but none of them had the currency of this planet, to put it bluntly, they did not have any money!

“Yes! That is indeed the case. We can use Aldo to disrupt the ‘players’operation.”Jiang Fei nodded, although he did not have a complete plan at the moment, Aldo was definitely the best partner.

The reason why Jiang Fei made such a judgment was that both sides had common interests. Aldo’s goal was to make those unknown women fall out of favor so that their family’s status could be preserved, jiang Fei and the others were trying to sabotage the “Players”’actions. This also required the emperor to stop favoring the “Female players”. Therefore, both sides had the same goal.

With the same goal, there was a basis for cooperation. However, as for the specific plan, Jiang Fei would need to meet with Aldo before he could make a decision.

It was difficult to meet the emperor, but it was much easier to meet with Aldo. Everyone in Marra City knew the Prime Minister’s official residence. Therefore, Jiang Fei and the others found Aldo’s residence after asking around.

“The wine and meat of the Vermilion Gate really do freeze one’s bones!”Looking at the manor in front of him, Jiang Fei could not help but sigh.

Aldo’s manor was very luxurious. Although it was not as large as the emperor’s castle, it was more exquisite than the emperor’s. Thinking about how Aldo was originally from a commoner background and his family was not rich, there was no need to ask.., all of the money was collected by him over the past few years.

However, Jiang Fei did not care whether Aldo was a corrupt official or an honest one. He came here to stop “Players”, not to be the Savior of planet Norton.

After finding Aldo’s residence, Jiang Fei sat down in a small pub across from Aldo’s manor. As he did not know when Aldo would return from his journey to the palace.., therefore, Jiang Fei and the others decided to rest in this small tavern and gather some information.

There were all kinds of people in the tavern. Even if they did not deliberately ask around, they could easily hear a lot of useful information.

“Have you heard?”

“What happened?”

“Something happened to the one million slaves that the emperor gave Lord Harun!”

“Oh? ! What Happened?”

“Hey! It’s raining heavily in the south, causing the roads to be washed away. Those slaves are all stuck halfway. I reckon they won’t be able to reach Mala in three days.”

“Then they’re really unlucky. If the slaves don’t reach the deadline, they’ll be punished!”

“Hey! Who cares about them? They’re just a bunch of filthy slaves. It’s better that they’re dead. Otherwise, if a million people rush into Mala, just eating, drinking, and shitting would be enough to mess up the imperial capital!”
