A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 312 Conspiracy! (Seek full order)
When Hua Twelve entered the palace again to hang water for Zhu Youxiao, the promise of 8000 million taels had already been collected. Of course, the cash was less than 2000 million taels, and the rest were jewelry, antiques, shops, farms, etc. that needed to be realized. property.

When he told Zhu Youxiao the news, the carpenter emperor was stunned. He didn't even know that these ministers were so rich. You must know that the annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was only about 2000 million taels of silver.

8000 million is equivalent to the fiscal taxation of the entire Ming Dynasty for four years.

Zhu Youxiao's face turned pale: "I didn't expect that these guys who say they are loyal to the emperor and patriotic have more money than me!"

Hua Twelve didn't speak, but just smiled and drank the iced sour plum soup personally brought by Queen Zhang Yan. He knew that Zhu Youxiao would have to digest this matter for a while.

Zhu Youxiao was silent for a long time, then turned to Hua Shishi and asked: "Mr. Hua, it seems that Wei Daban's words are true. Even if these people did not take his benefits, they must be corrupt people. Look What should we do next?"

Looking at Emperor Tianqi's shining eyes, Hua Twelve didn't know that Zhu Youxiao was tempted by the 8000 million taels, and wanted to take it back to the national treasury, but he was not easy to ask for money as an emperor. Just say it with your own mouth.

Hua Twelve already had a plan for this, and said with a smile:
"Since it is the money obtained from corruption, it must be seized and taken as state-owned. Tomorrow, the minister will report the statistics of each family's property to the court in the early court. The emperor can let those people defend themselves. If they are not clear , go directly to the Imperial Prison, and your property will be confiscated!"

"In addition, I feel that in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, when the houses are raided tomorrow, the specific amount of property confiscated by each family will be written on a notice and posted on the door of each house, so that the whole city will know!"

Hearing the words, Zhu Youxiao hesitated and said worriedly:

"When such a scandal is spread, some people will say that it is because I am stupid and dishonest that so many corrupt officials have been bred!"

Hua Twelve rolled his eyes in his heart, he really wanted to say that it's not that you are stupid, but that the emperors of your old Zhu family were stupid and unreasonable, which led to today's fruit. This is all from your old Zhu family Family handicraft.

But if you want to help the Dragon Court, you still have to coax the emperor to say some things, Hua Twelve immediately waved his hands and said:
"Although there will definitely be such voices, I feel that the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages. After all, these civil servants always use great principles to kidnap Shengyi. It seems that it is wrong for the emperor not to listen to them."

"This time, let the people of the world see that these good officials and clean people in their eyes are actually full of benevolence and morality, and they are full of robbers and prostitutes!"

"well said!"

Zhu Youxiao has been bullied and feared by these civil servants since the palace transfer case, otherwise she would not be able to support a Wei Zhongxian to come out and make the eunuch party bigger. Now when she hears that Hua Shier is going to pick up the skins of these officials, she feels delighted.

Immediately said happily: "Then according to what Mr. said, let the common people see these people who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, what are they?"

While Hua Shier and Zhu Youxiao were talking, in the Forbidden City, a figure quickly walked towards Xian'an Palace in the dark.

This man didn't carry a lantern, and he only chose dark places to walk. When he encountered patrolling palace guards, he would hide in a place to avoid them in advance. It seemed that he was very familiar with the palace.

When he was outside Xian'an Palace, he pushed open the courtyard door and stepped in, turned around and gently closed the courtyard door, and then looked back at the palace that used to be bustling but now is as cold as a haunted house.

Just glanced at it, and immediately went towards a palace, and after entering, he saw a Buddhist altar, the figure stretched out his hand and moved somewhere, the next moment, he heard the sound of a machine lock, and the altar moved away automatically, revealing the one below. And going up the wooden stairs.

At this time, a woman's suspicious voice came from below: "Who is it?"

The figure respectfully said: "Mother-in-law, it's me, Zhang Tong'an, my son is here to bring you food!"

As he spoke, he unwrapped a package from his back, held it in his hands, and walked down the stairs slowly.

After going down and turning a corner, I saw a quiet room like the palace above. In the quiet room, two lamps of butter wax were lit, showing every detail. Two women were looking anxiously at the stairs. One of them was Ke Yinyue, Mrs. Fengsheng who disappeared outside the palace.

Seeing the visitor, Ke Yinyue let out a sigh of relief: "It's Xiao Anzi!"

The person who came was Zhang Tong'an, Eunuch Zhang, the deputy director of the Food Supervisor in the palace. He also had another identity unknown to outsiders, that is, like Wei Ting, he was the adopted son of Wei Zhongxian since he was a child.

Ke Yinyue is Wei Zhongxian's couple, so he can be regarded as Zhang Tong'an's nominal adoptive mother, so this father-in-law Zhang always regards himself as a son in front of the Ke family.

Zhang Tong'an respectfully placed the food brought by Ke Yinyue on the table, and served Ke's meal together with another court lady.

Keshi was also really hungry, ignoring the demeanor he had cultivated in the palace over the years, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat and drink.

When it was almost time to eat, Ke Shi took another sip of the lotus pistil of the royal wine in the palace, and then exhaled comfortably, and then asked:
"It took so long to deliver food today, isn't it peaceful outside? Tell me, what's going on outside now?"

Zhang Tongan bowed and said, "Both foster father and Wei Ting have been imprisoned. I heard that your foster mother's house was also copied by the new commander of Jinyiwei, Mr. Hua. In addition, the palace began to cleanse foster father's power." , Many people who followed the adoptive father were called by Dongchang to talk, and then they never came back!"

When Ke Yinyue heard that her home had been raided, her face was not very good, and she scolded:
"Master Hua, it was that monster who bewitched the school brother, otherwise how could the school brother treat me so heartlessly."

After finishing speaking, he cried a few times, and then said to Zhang Tong'an:
"Fortunately, Xiao Anzi, you are a filial person, and you have brought me into the palace again, otherwise I'm afraid it will be bad for that demon at this time!"

Zhang Tong'an nodded again and again: "What the adoptive mother said is that it is a demon, who has confused the Lord Long Live for some reason, but the adoptive mother does not need to be sad, there may be no room for turning around this matter!"

Hearing the words, Ke Shi heard that there was something in the little eunuch's words, and the sad look on his face disappeared, and he asked doubtfully, "How do you say this?"

Zhang Tongan first knelt down for Keshi, raised his head and looked at Keshi with burning eyes, and said word by word:

"The son wants to plead guilty to his adoptive mother, but I actually believe in the king!"

Ke Shi was stunned, and only realized after a few breaths, pointing at Zhang Tong'an in disbelief and saying:

"I remember you were adopted by my master when you were nine years old. You are hiding so deeply."

Zhang Tong'an smiled slightly: "I will tell you the truth about my stepmother, in fact, my biological parents are still alive, and I have two elder brothers above me, who are now working in the new palace, and my son has no choice but to do it!"

Ke Shi waved his sleeves and said with a cold face: "Don't call him mother-in-law, it's just hypocrisy, what kind of son is it, tell me, since you have revealed your identity today, does King Xin have anything to say to me? "

Zhang Tong'an turned a blind eye to Ke's attitude, but changed his words seriously, and said with a smile:
"Madam Shengming, it is King Xin who has something to pass on to Madam!"

"Mrs. Fengsheng has been in the palace during this time. I may not know that the demon surnamed Hua forged evidence somehow, saying that the incident of Lord Long Live falling into the water in Taiye Pond was planned by King Xin. Now the old man Xinwang has been arrested. Confined in the palace, you will not be free!"

Ke Shi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then sneered, "Falsified evidence? I don't think Wang Xin may be wronged!"

Zhang Tongan didn't answer, but said:

"Xin Wang said, if there is no accident, Eunuch Wei should have no way out. Madam, even if you live in the palace, you have to hide. If there is a new master in Xian'an Palace, you probably won't be able to hide. For now, only the prince can save you and Eunuch Wei."

Ke Shi sneered: "King Xin, now that the mud bodhisattva crosses the river, he can't save himself, but he can save us. It's really nonsense!"

Zhang Tong'an was speechless for a while, he didn't finish his sentence, he just wanted Ke Shi to express his attitude, whoever thought that this girl didn't have any wisdom in her mind, so she knew how to be sarcastic.

He cursed secretly in his heart, and said with an apologetic smile on his face:
"Since it's a dead end, why not fight with your back. Eunuch Wei's tree has deep roots, and the old man Xin Wang has been secretly operating it for many years. With the joint efforts of the two, it may not be possible to turn the tide and turn the world around!"

The words were so clear that Ke Shi could understand: "You mean that King Xin and my master still have the strength to fight back?"

Zhang Tongan nodded helplessly: "Although King Xin was imprisoned in the palace, there are people from our prince everywhere in the capital. As long as Eunuch Wei leaves the imperial prison, most of the people from Dongchang and Jingjun will have to leave the prison." Returning to the banner of Nine Thousand Years, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose."

"My lord wants to send someone to the jail to contact Eunuch Wei, but in order to gain Eunuch Wei's trust, I need you to present a token, madam!"

"In addition, our lord also said that the reason why the monster surnamed Hua was able to run amok in the capital is all due to the favor of Long Live today, and in the matter of winning the favor of the emperor, no one in the world can surpass my wife!"

"What our lord means is, ma'am, you should find a way to make that Hua lose his holy family. When the time comes, our lord and Eunuch Wei will work hard outside at the same time, and we will definitely make his surname Hua die!"

Ke Shi pondered for a while: "It's okay to give you a token to win the trust of my master, but as for the matter of the demon."

She suddenly laughed at herself: "I'm just a woman hiding in a mouse hole now, and I can't even meet the school brother. How can I make that monster lose his holy family, unless..."

Zhang Tongan quickly asked, "Unless what?"

Ke Shi said leisurely: "Unless I can see the colonel alone, I will be sure that the colonel will remember the love of the past and remember my dear brother."

Zhang Tongan frowned and pondered for a while, then said:

"If you let Madam see the Emperor alone, this should be possible. Our family can arrange it for Madam. Just relying on the relationship between you and Long Live Lord, Madam, it will be very difficult to separate the relationship between the Emperor and that monster!"

As he spoke, he told Zhu Youxiao that Hua Shier had copied tens of millions of taels of silver.

Ke Shi took a deep breath: "This monster actually wants to drive out all the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty. He is looking for his own death!"

Zhang Tong'an sighed: "If he loses his family, that's true, but his family is prosperous, and he has caught the evidence. I'm afraid that if you give him some time, no one can do anything to him!"

Ke Shi pondered: "You tell me all the recent things in the palace, let me think carefully!"

Zhang Tong'an immediately explained everything in the palace in detail.

Halfway through hearing it, Ke's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean that demon will come to treat the emperor at night, and that bitch Zhang Yan will ask the imperial dining room to prepare a bowl of iced sour plum soup for him in the past few days?"

"Not bad!"

Zhang Tong'an nodded and said: "That person is indeed treating Long Live Lord. The emperor's body is gradually recovering. It is estimated that it is this person's handwriting. Before this person's treatment was too mysterious, we did not receive any news, but he continued for several days. He appeared in Qianqing Palace one night, and finally let us know about his medical treatment for the emperor."

Ke Shi waved his hand and said, "That's not what I asked, what I asked was, are you sure that the bowl of sour plum soup is for that person?"

Zhang Tongan nodded and said: "Naturally, I am the deputy director of the Shangshan Supervisor, and the sour plum soup is all my people, how can I make a mistake!"

Keshi laughed loudly when he heard the words: "It seems that God will help me to make things happen."

She didn't say how to make things happen, but asked in Zhang Tong'an's puzzled eyes: "King Xin can tell you, if he gets things done in the future, how will he arrange me and my master?"

Zhang Tongan hurriedly said: "My lord said that what he was like before will be what he will be like in the future. Eunuch Wei is naturally still the 99-year-old admiral of Dongchang. Madam, you are still a holy lady who is comparable to the queen mother! "

Hearing this, Ke Shi showed a satisfied smile, and saw that she removed a pearl hairpin from her head, and there was a pearl the size of a longan on the pearl hairpin.

She held both ends of the pearl with both hands, and twisted it vigorously, the pearl was split into two halves, revealing several orange pills the size of soybeans inside.

Ke Shi twisted one with his hand, handed it to Zhang Tongan, and said: "This is Yaocao Dan. It tastes sweet and sour. If you put it in water or wine, you can easily detect it. If you put it in sour plum soup, it will taste sweet. There is no flaw at all!"

Zhang Tongan asked suspiciously: "Ma'am, are you going to poison that demon to death? I'm afraid this is not feasible. You must know that when sour plum soup is sent to the Qianqing Palace, you have to test the poison three times, and even the most powerful poison will be found out!"

Keshi curled her lips and said: "What kind of poison is it? According to the "Shan Hai Jing", the mountain of Guyao, the emperor's daughter died, and her name is the female corpse. Tuqiu, flatter others by obedience."

Zhang Tongan's head was full of question marks: "What do you mean?"

Keshi was speechless, she felt that she was quite uneducated, but she met an even more ignorant person, who couldn't even understand the words, so she simply said it bluntly:

"This is the secret recipe of the former court. It is a love potion. It has mild properties but is extremely difficult to discover. Apart from the flaw of sweetness and acidity, it is difficult for even imperial physicians to detect the properties of the medicine. After taking it, the medicine will become stronger in half an hour. Seizures, seizures, hard to control, I gave the school brother half a pill, cough cough cough"

Halfway through the speech, Ke Shi knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and suddenly blushed, and stuffed the pill into Zhang Tongan's hand: "Anyway, the next time that man wants to drink sour plum soup when he enters the palace, you will give it to him. The person is by the side, hehe, it’s best to eat half of it for that person, and half for that bitch.”

"In the future, no matter how much the school brother thinks highly of that person, I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate him. When you arrange for me to meet the school brother, you will surely succeed in one fell swoop and let that person die without a place to bury him."

Seeing Ke's sinister smile, Zhang Tong'an couldn't help but shudder.
