Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 154
"Monthly ticket, monthly ticket!" Xiao Liu knelt down and shouted loudly.

-

The first heavy snowfall in the 36th year of Kangxi's reign fell like a goose feather overnight, dyeing the entire capital white.Yin Zuo got up early in the morning and had to report - the heavy snow last night overwhelmed hundreds of houses, killed dozens of homeless beggars, and thousands of poor families suffered from the cold, rushing to order " Fu Yuan Ji" porridge and food, but it was stopped by Wu Sidao, telling Yinzuo not to rush to release food, first go to the prince to ask for instructions before doing it, in case someone gossips, if he does something good, people will participate in the "trickster" The crime of "buying people's hearts" is inappropriate.

Yin Zuo had no choice but to order "Fu Yuan Ji" to make preparations for soup, porridge and food, while riding straight to the palace, handing a sign to see the prince, waiting for nearly half an hour, and finally got a sentence - the prince occasionally feels cold , no visitors.Yinzuo was so angry that he was too lazy to be as knowledgeable as the prince, so he directly asked Liu Mingchuan to release food, soup and clothes to help the victims. Without going down, he directly led his group of guards to inspect the porridge place at Caishikou before returning to the mansion, but his mood was still a little depressed.

"Two gentlemen, the snow is heavy this year, and the disaster is likely to be severe. There are so many victims in the hardest-hit areas of the capital. How can the prefectures and counties below be better off? If the rescue is not timely, it is not good if people die. Once there is a civil uprising To make matters worse, the Holy Majesty is not in Beijing at the moment, and the Crown Prince is angry and ignoring the matter, which is a bit troublesome. If you send someone to ask for an order, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth, and I am afraid that the time will be delayed. The ginseng will also release food." Seeing the tragic situation of the disaster victims in central Beijing, Yinzuo felt a little melancholy in his heart.

"I'm afraid it's not good for the prince to have such a heart. He just needs to handle things smoothly. It's fine if the prince doesn't care. He will suffer in the future. The prince must submit a joint booklet with the fourth master and the eighth master to report the disaster to the sage." At the same time, some silver taels can be transferred from the "Fu Yuan Ji" to help the victims, and after the imperial decree arrives, the household department will distribute the grain." Lin Xuanyi detailed the order of things.

"Li He's words are justified. Human life is at stake. It's not too late. The prince should hurry up and do it. Even if there is something that violates the rules, the Holy One will be considerate." "The power to relieve the victims.

"Okay, I can go now." Yin Zuo no longer hesitated, and wanted to go to other elder brothers' houses when he went out, but as soon as he arrived at the house, Wang Jie got off the sedan chair and hurriedly greeted Yin Zuo. Zuo came and said anxiously: "My lord, the three provinces of Zhili, Shanxi, and Gansu have sent them urgently. The snowstorm in more than a hundred prefectures and counties is severe. The emperor is not in Beijing, and the crown prince is ill again. What should I do?"

"My lord, don't worry. This king will order the branches of 'Fu Yuan Ji' to rescue the victims. In addition, this king will ask the fourth master and the eighth master to sign a seal and ask for an order to open a warehouse to release grain." Yinzuo didn't hide himself The plan, said it directly.

"It's so good, it's so good, the official has already drawn up a memorial, and I originally planned to invite the prince to lead the performance." Wang Jian hurriedly took out the prepared memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Yinzuo.Yin Zuo opened it, looked at it, and didn't say anything more. He asked the guards to take the pen and ink, and signed it directly. He smiled and said to Wang Jian: "Master Lao Wang ran away, and this memorial has to be sent to the Shengshang camp for processing." "Wang Jie took the memorial and said abruptly: "Your Majesty's move is out of the heart of a Bodhisattva. If someone dares to speak falsely, Wang will definitely not give up and say goodbye!" As soon as the words fell, he got on the big sedan chair and rushed to the door. Go to Baye's mansion.

Uh, what is this old man talking about?Take refuge in yourself?Show loyalty?Unlike, this old man has always been very old-fashioned, and he won't get close to brothers at all. What does he mean by not letting go?Wang Jie walked in a cool way, but Yinzuo was a little confused by the endless words before leaving.If you don't understand it, don't think about it, anyway, as long as they don't have any malice towards you, well, let's take a look at our little baby.Yinzuo smiled wryly and shook his head, and asked Qingsong to go to "Fuyuanji" to find Liu Mingchuan and order the various branches to rescue the victims, then wandered into the backyard by himself, and went straight to Qiuju's small courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Yin Zuo heard a burst of singing, but after listening carefully, it turned out to be "The Ballad of Children's Playing Tools". "When the willows are alive, spin the top; when the willows are green, let the bell go; when the willows are dead, kick the shuttlecock; when the willows sprout, beat them."

Qiu Ju is lively by nature, doesn't have much scheming, and gets along with anyone, even though she is the only one in the mansion who gave birth to a son, but she has never been seen indulged and arrogant because of this, she is always smiling and laughing all day long, and she is very happy favorite.Now listening to Qiu Ju's soft singing, the tenderness in Yin Zuo's heart became a little overflowing, childlike innocence arose, he entered the courtyard gate, stopped the servants who wanted to see the big gift, tiptoed to the door of the room, and gently Gently picked up the thick curtain, entered the room, quietly walked to the back of Qiu Ju who was singing to make Xiao Hongli happy, planning to make a surprise attack, never thought that the little guy would be disrespectful, pointing at Yin Zuo, Yiyi yelled indiscriminately, and Qiu Ju looked back in shock, just in time to see Yin Zuo who was tiptoeing, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

Come on, you little villain, you know how to betray daddy at such a young age, hey, you have the guts!Yin Zuo stepped forward with an embarrassed expression on his face, stopped Qiu Ju from paying homage, and said with a smile: "Ju'er sings really nicely. The little guy hasn't been making trouble these days, right?"

Qiu Ju looked at Xiao Hongli lying in the cradle tenderly and said, "No, Xiao Hongli is doing well."

The little guy seemed to understand Yinzuo's words, his little face wrinkled, his eyes widened, and he waved his fists at Yinzuo. The annoyed appearance made Yinzuo laugh out loud, and bent over Picking Hongli up, the little guy didn't see him, he grinningly pulled his nose and dug his eyes and poked Baolai on Yinzuo's face, his chubby little hands were so vigorous that Yinzuo couldn't help but smile wryly, so he had no choice but to hand over his hand Shun let the little guy find his mother.The little guy must be hungry. As soon as he got into Qiu Ju's arms, his little hands were eager to lift Qiu Ju's clothes, and his little mouth was still tsk-tsk.

Yin Zuo wrapped his arms around Qiu Ju's small waist, and looked at the picture of breastfeeding in front of him happily, feeling warm in his heart, forgetting all the unsatisfactory things. There was a servant girl's report: "Master, the imperial edict has arrived, please go and receive it, master."

imperial decree?Alas, what should come will always come, but it shouldn't come at this time, mother, what a disappointment!Yinzuo had already guessed the content of the imperial decree in his heart, and it must be for Yinzuo to investigate the case of the Ministry of Punishment.Reluctantly, she kissed Qiu Ju lightly on the face and said, "I will come back as soon as I go, good boy, I will wait for you tonight." Qiu Ju was so ashamed that her face was flushed.

It was a young eunuch who delivered the decree, and Yinzuo also knew that guy, his name was Li Dequan, he was a newly promoted eunuch holding a pen, he had quite a bit of ink, and he often benefited from Yinzuo's hands on weekdays. Zuo came out, stepped forward quickly, and said politely: "There is a decree from the Holy Spirit, please accept the decree from King Yi."

When the incense table and other things were ready, Li Dequan said in a high-pitched voice, "Fengtian Chengyun, the emperor's edict..." As Yin Zuo expected, the edict only said one thing in just a few sentences—— Ask Yinzuo to thoroughly investigate the case of "slaughtering the white goose" by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. As for the corruption cases of the prince's sect and the salt government corruption cases that Lao Ba and others have brought up, they have not mentioned a word, as if there were no such things.

After Yinzuo kowtowed to thank En, taking the opportunity of receiving the imperial edict, a folded hundred taels of silver note was quietly stuffed into Li Dequan's palm, and he asked with a smile: "Where is the holy car? "

"If you go back to the prince, the sage has arrived in Yangzhou." Li Dequan retracted his hands calmly, and the bank notes in his hand disappeared into his sleeves like a trick, and Yin Zuo praised him straight away - this kid has been trained. I was in a hurry to collect our banknotes before, but this time it was much faster. It seems that we did not lose money along the way.

"Oh, my father-in-law has been working hard from afar, why don't you go to my palace to have a drink or two to relieve your fatigue?" Yinzuo said with a smile, winked his eyes, and made a signal.

Li Dequan was a sober man who climbed up to a high position, and hurriedly replied: "Thank you, my lord, the servant has also received an edict from the residence of the fourth and eighth masters, and the sage has something to ask them." These words are nothing. It's just that the word "Qianwen" was pronounced a little more emphatically, Yinzuo's heart moved, and he realized something, but he said with a smile on his face: "In this case, the king will not delay the father-in-law, so I can go."

Li Dequan didn't speak anymore, bowed his body, and led several young eunuchs and accompanying guards straight to the location of Lao Ba's residence.

"The Holy Majesty is warning the fourth and eighth masters not to act recklessly. It is not too late. The prince can start to act according to the plan." Wu Sidao said without hesitation after listening to Yinzuo's introduction.

"Okay, this king will start now." Yinzuo nodded, and said to Qingsong who was standing outside the study: "Qingsong took all the guards in this king's mansion, and walked with this king to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment."

The Ministry of Punishment, one of the six central departments.The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the country's criminal decrees, and its duties are: "To control the decrees of the world's punishments, to praise the people. Where the law is appropriate, it is appropriate to listen to the people who come and go, and it is appropriate to slow down. , Each department aims to reach the Ministry. The Minister of the Minister led his subordinates to make a decision, to deal with major matters, and to act on small matters, so as to commit crimes against the state.".The number of officials in the Ministry of Punishment is: 1 minister, 1 manchu and 5 Han servants, 1 hall masters, 2 Han army, 40 Manchu and Han ministers, and 17 manuscripts.There are 38 clean-up departments, supervision and arrest departments, prison halls, and stolen goods warehouses under Zhili, Fengtian, etc., with a total of 46 doctors, 38 yuanwailang, 6 principals, 1 prison managers, 2 treasurer, and 124 treasury. There are 98 envoys, 406 pen posts, and [-] successors, with a total of [-]. Among the six ministries, it is the one with the most officials.

The Ministry of Punishment has always been the domain of Babeile Yinhu. Most of the officials in the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment are under the sect of Lao Ba, and some are under the sect of Lao Jiu and Lao Ten. Human beings, the entire Ministry of Criminal Justice can be said to be monolithic, and it can be said that water can't get in, and needles can't penetrate.Today, the old Ba and his gang were called by Li Dequan, who was sent by the sage, to listen to the training at Babeile's mansion, and Fu Lata, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, drove to the south of the Yangtze River. Chatting with tea is also very comfortable, but they will not be happy soon - Yinzuo is neatly dressed, holding the imperial decree, and leading more than 200 guards into the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment aggressively, with a murderous look on his face. All the officials up and down were terrified.

Bi Rihe, the servant of the punishment department on duty, hurried forward and said: "The officer, Bi Rihe, has seen the prince, but I don't know if the prince is..."

Yinzuo glanced at the flustered Bi Rihe, and said coldly: "This king is ordered to investigate the case of 'slaughtering a white goose' by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and you are all suspected. Today, the king will thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Without the king's warrant, you are not allowed to leave without permission, otherwise you will be shot to death!"

"My lord, the Ministry of Punishment is a public instrument of the state, so it can't be messed up. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for my lord to act like this?" Bi Rihe saw that the momentum was wrong, and his master was not present, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to hold Yin Zuo.

"Huh, this king is acting according to the order. Anyone who speaks too much will be punished as resisting the order." Yin Zuo ignored the trembling Bi Rihe and ordered Qingsong coldly: "Qingsong, send all the people present The officials are all detained first, and they are separately opened and closed, but anyone who tries to resist, kill! Anyone who tries to collude with a confession, kill! Anyone who tries to escape, kill! Do you understand?"

Qingsong responded loudly, and led the guards to rush forward, arresting all officials in the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, and detaining all officials, big and small.Bi Rihe said with a livid face: "My lord, you are reckless, I want to participate in the performance!"

"Cheng, if you are innocent, I welcome you to join me. Hehe, come here, pick off the flower feather on the top of this product, and put it under custody first, and I will have a good trial." Yinzuo said coldly Said.

Yin Zuo had just started, and Yin Hu, who had just been reprimanded by Mr. Li Dequan on behalf of Kangxi on either side, got the news. His eyes darkened and he fell to the ground, causing everyone to be shocked...
