Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 391

At the seaside of Shicha, looking at the dozens of corpses on the ground, Wang Yi, Yin of Shuntian Mansion, couldn't hold back his breath.Even Long Kedo, the admiral of the nine gates, who was standing on one side, had a terrifyingly dark complexion.

This is only a half-cleared land boundary, and the deep water in the middle has not been cleared, and the corpses have piled up on a hill.The corpses are still intact, or only half-dead, and there are still some of the scattered bones that are difficult to salvage due to the passage of time.

Although the surrounding area has been guarded by soldiers and horses, patrol camps, and Shuntian government officials, there are still a lot of people watching the excitement nearby.

When another corpse was unloaded from the boat, a surprised voice was heard from the crowd: "Uncle Chang!"

Longkodo only heard a child's voice, so he looked over there, but because there were too many people in the middle, he couldn't see clearly, so he called a soldier and gave a few instructions.

After a while, the soldier brought a ten-year-old child over.

I don't know if the child was bluffed by the corpse or because he was afraid of the officials, so he hung his head and dared not speak.

Long Kedo pointed to the corpse just now and asked, "Do you know him?"

The child just came back from the school and kept it. Seeing that many people were watching the fun here, he also came to have fun, but he didn't expect to see an acquaintance among the corpses, so he couldn't help crying out.

Hearing Longkodo's question, Baobao glanced at Chang Wu's corpse, and saw that both eyes had been eaten by fish, leaving only black frames. on the ground.

Longkodo waved his hand, passed two people, lifted the corpse in front of him aside, and asked again: "Well, do you know it or not?"

Baobao replied with tears in his voice: "Responding to the words of the adults, the young ones know him. He is Chang Wushu, our neighbor in the alley!"

Longkodo glanced at his schoolbag and asked, "You are a banner man, which leader is your family, and which alley do you live in?"

Baozhu said: "The small family is under the leadership of the Eighth Assistant of the First Candidate of the Manchuria Metropolitan Command in Zhenghuang Banner, Manchuria, and lives in Houxiaojing Hutong."

Long Kedo squinted his eyes, and nodded his chin at Chang Wu's body, and said, "Is this Chang Wu also from Zhenghuangqi?"

"Well, Uncle Chang's family and Xiao's family belong to the same family!" Baozhu replied.

Long Keduo nodded, and called the officers of the two patrol battalions to follow him to protect the survivors of the ordinary family in Xiaojing Hutong.

For those who know their names, it’s okay to say, those corpses that have been gnawed beyond recognition by fish and shrimps or have left their bones, where can they find someone to identify them?
Many corpses, because Shen Haizi hadn't been around for a long time, hadn't been eaten clean by fish and shrimp, and they were covered with thick hemp ropes to help the stones.This is a blatant murder, not a fall into the water at all.

Long Keduo looked at the wealthy family on the shore of Haizi, and sighed in his heart.

He is Kangxi's brother-in-law, from the Tong Jia family, and he knows a little about the gossip in the house.

Among these corpses, there are men and women. Except for Chang Wu, most of them are servants who "died suddenly". If they were ordinary people, someone would have reported to the Yamen long ago.

"The person is gone," Longkodo felt a lot clearer immediately, looked at the salvaged corpses, and sent someone over to check the clothes on these corpses.

Wang Yi was already a little unsteady, and said to Longkoduo: "Master Long, this...you and I will join hands to sign the book?"

Longkoduo sighed. Now that things are up to now, what kind of regulations are they? I still have to ask Lord Long Live to make an order.In this inner city, more than a dozen people were killed, and no one could bear this burden.

Therefore, he nodded and said, "Master Wang, please write the paper. I will jointly sign with you." Having said that, he said to Wang Yi: "This corpse that has not completely rotted should be in the past few months. The infantry yamen will gather the reported missing persons, and Mr. Wang will also gather them to find some sufferers to identify."

Wang Yi nodded, and said, "Lord Long is right, the lower officials are about to send people to collect the people who have been reported missing in the past few months."

Thinking of the missing persons, Long Keduo looked at the house not far away, and remembered a person, that is Li Ding, the son of Li Xu, the weaving and household servant of Suzhou.

I vaguely remember that Li Ding, who was reported to the police at the time, disappeared after leaving the other courtyard near Haizi. At that time, it was already winter...

Inside the Anding Gate, Prince Yong's Mansion, the inner hall.

The fourth elder brother changed his outer clothes, and asked Si Fujin, "Have you gone to Thirteenth Brother's place? Are Thirteenth Brother and Sister okay?"

Because I heard that the Thirteenth Fujin was pregnant, Sifujin specially brought some supplements to visit today.

"Okay!" Sifujin took the clothes of the fourth elder brother and replied with a smile: "The thirteenth brother is very happy, and he kept clamoring to add a little princess this time! The thirteenth brother and sister are so lucky, Hong Tunhuan In fact, Hongzhen can also climb, and this time it is really one a year!" At the end of the speech, his expression was a little melancholy.

Four Fujin had given birth to his son Honghui in his early years, but he didn't stand down, and the flowers died when he was eight years old.In the early years, Sifujin wanted to ask for another son, but his stomach never moved.Now, in her 30s, although she has given up on this thought, she is still deeply moved every time she sees the little elder brother of other people's family.

Seeing him, the fourth elder brother didn't know how to comfort him, so he changed the subject and said, "How about the thirteenth brother? Now it's the time when it's warm and cold, has his leg ailment?"

Sifujin put away his melancholy, and replied with a smile: "I know that I am worried about this, and I have asked Thirteenth Brother and Thirteenth Brother and Sister carefully. Thirteenth Brother said that it is the effect of scalding sand in the past two years, and there is no effect this spring. He also said that in a few days, people will go to Shanhaiguan to pull sand from the sea, and Cao Yong mentioned that the effect of sand on the seaside is better than that of river sand!"

Speaking of this, she said with a little admiration: "Master, isn't this Cao Yong the big brother-in-law of the Seventh Brother's house? I have seen it twice in my life. She is young and knows a lot. I heard from the thirteenth brother and sister that the snake venom ointment that the thirteenth brother has been using was originally bought by Cao Yong in exchange for it."

"Cao Yong?" The fourth elder brother thought of the New Year's gifts he gave, either incense candles or Buddha statue beads, some of which were really good things.

"He let go of his foreign job two years ago, and he was in the coastal area of ​​Lunan, so you know this!" The fourth elder brother pondered for a while, and said casually.

Si Fujin smiled and said: "This concubine remembers that the year before last, people sent people to our house to send earthen ceremonies, many children's belongings. At that time, Hongshi was very happy for several days. It is the winter tea farm in our family. A lot of people asked about it. Speaking of it, we have accepted the love of Cao Erfu! I heard from the thirteen brothers and sisters that Da Gege has a body, and when they have a child, we will back up a generous gift in return. good!"

The fourth elder brother nodded, and couldn't help but give another instruction, saying: "We are elders, we just need to make sense, don't be too serious, it's more natural."

After hearing this, Si Fujin was a little surprised.

People who live in the capital can get involved with people who are far and near, but there are not many people who make the fourth elder brother treat him personally as a junior.However, thinking that the seventh elder brother has always been an honest person, and Cao Yong and the thirteenth elder brother are getting close again, she can know it well.

The fourth elder brother didn't stay in the inner hall, so after changing his clothes, he said to Si Fujin: "I'll go to the study in the front yard to handle some business, and I'll send someone to the front yard for dinner!"

Si Fujin agreed with a smile, and sent Si elder brother out of the house.

After he came back and sat down, Si Fujin saw the servant girl come to report that it was Nian Fang Fujin who was ill.

This year, Fang Fujin was the younger sister of Nian Gengyao, the governor of Sichuan. Kangxi participated in the draft in 48 and left a sign directly.

In the fourth elder brother's mansion, besides the Nala family of the Fujin, there is also the Li family of the side Fujin, and several other princesses.

Before the Nian family entered the mansion, Li Fangfujin was the most favored, and gave birth to three sons and a daughter, two of the younger elder brothers died young, leaving only the third elder brother Hongshi and Er Gege.

Because the eldest daughter born to the Song family died young, the two sons and daughters of Li Fangfujin were the actual eldest son and eldest daughter of Prince Yong's mansion.

The eldest son of the Nala family died young. Although the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother were added to the mansion a few years ago, because of the low status of the birth mother and the large age difference with Hongshi, Li Shi did not take it seriously. .

Nian's family is different, her natal family is very important, and entering the mansion is a side Fujin, young and beautiful.If he gave birth to an elder brother, his status would be no less than that of Hongshi.

For this reason, Mrs. Li pinched his eyes and looked down on Mrs. Nian.However, due to strict rules and regulations in the mansion, and Si elder brother and Si Fujin governed the family strictly, she didn't dare to mess around, it was just that every now and then, the words would sting Nian's words and enjoy her mouthful.

Nian Shi is a strong one, and he always retorts.However, considering the age of the two of them, speaking of it, Li's Ergege is older than Nian's.Where can Nian say it?Every time the two of them confront each other, they will die of anger afterward.

Since Nian's and Li's status are equal, it's hard for Nala to help either one.As long as they don't lose their sense of proportion, let them bicker.

Today, as soon as the maid reported that Nianshi was ill, Nalashi knew that the two side Fujins had nothing to do and had ground their teeth again.

One is her husband's new love, and the other is her husband's old love. Nala sighed and said, "Understood, send someone to invite an imperial doctor, and I will go see her later!"

Prince Yong's Mansion, the study room in the front yard.

The fourth elder brother heard the report from the sticky pole and knew the details of Shichahai, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.These dozens of murders happened in the inner city. The crime of "overseeing" is enough to drink a pot for the infantry commander Yamen and the two chief officials of Shuntian Mansion.

The chief officer of the infantry commanding the yamen, the nine-door admiral Longkodo, is the younger brother of the fourth elder brother's adoptive mother, Empress Xiaoyi, Queen Tong Jia, and the fourth elder brother is privately called his uncle.

Yin Wangyi of Shuntian Mansion was born as a Jinshi. He entered the Hanlin Academy in his early years.

Among those attendants and lecturers in the Hanlin back then, only Wang Yi dared to punish the prince to "kneel and study".Even the fourth elder brother, he was often punished by him when he was young.At that time, I couldn't wait, the fourth elder brother still made an oath in his heart, thinking that when he grows up, he will be the first to kill the guy surnamed Wang.

It wasn't until the fourth elder brother grew up that he realized how precious a teacher who can teach the prince so strictly is.

These two people, although one is tactful and the other is upright, they are both people that the fourth elder brother wants to be close to, so he is afraid that the two of them will be implicated in this murder case.

Dai Jin was at the side, seeing the worries of the fourth elder brother, and said: "Fourth master, according to my servant, although this matter is big, Lord Long and Lord Wang may not be punished."

"Oh! Why do you say that?" Brother Si raised his eyebrows and asked.

Dai Jin bowed and said, "Fourth Master, did you forget how Lord Wang got promoted?"

The fourth elder brother listened and pondered. After Wang Yi came out of the Imperial Academy, he was given a job for the criminal department, and later for the official department and military department.

In the 47th year of Kangxi, he participated in the nine-door admiral's infantry commander Tuo Heqi, deceiving the lawless, corrupting the people, and so on.

Although it was ignored at the time, after the "Tuoheqi Huiyin Case" was discovered, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple brought it up again.At that time, Wang Yi was already the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and one of the co-organizers of the case.

Last year, there was a vacancy for the Governor of Shuntian Mansion, and Kangxi appointed Wang Yi as the Governor of Shuntian Mansion.

Because of Wang Yi's uprightness, he is the sharp blade controlled by the emperor's father. This blade is aimed at people, so it must be harmless to itself.

After thinking about it, the fourth elder brother felt relieved, but he still had some doubts, and asked, "Huang Ama, is this... Who is this attack on?"

Dai Jin's face showed a bit of joy, and he bowed and said: "The servant wants to congratulate the fourth master, I'm afraid the eighth elder brother will not be able to stand it anymore! A few days ago, didn't you just change the ancestral mansion?" ? The issue of the inner city, although the infantry commanding yamen has something to do with it, the most involved is the Wucheng Bingma Division. Not to mention anything else, once this case came out, the chief officer of the Beicheng Bingma Division appointed to change I'm dead, the servant heard that the person in front of you is the doorman of Prince An's residence."

Eighth Prince's direct descendant Fujin Guo Luoluo is the granddaughter of Prince An Yue Le, and Prince An's Mansion is one of Eighth Prince's helpers.

The fourth elder brother's face was cloudy and cloudy, but his shoulders were trembling slightly.

Dai Jin hastily turned his gaze, his master has always been forbearing, and at times like this, he didn't even see the slightest smile...
