Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 514

Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.

Sitting on the kang, Kangxi took with his right hand the copy signed by Lai Du, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Long Kedo, Admiral of the Nine Gates, and Yi Wangyi of Shuntian Prefecture. Seeing the above book, Humber Yanshou ordered the slaves in the mansion to go to the "Cheng Zhai" in Pine Tree Alley. "I confessed to the murder, and I couldn't help being furious.

Lai Du, Long Kedo, and Wang Yi knelt on the ground, all bowing their heads in silence.

They also had no idea, the "murderer" was another Baylor when such a case happened in Beijing during the first lunar month.

Although Yanshou was rarely punished, more than 30 innocent people died in vain. Not to mention others, even Wang Yi, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, could not escape the crime of negligence.

Kangxi put down the booklet, but did not look at Wang Yi, but said to Lai Du: "Lai Du, I ask you, I issued an oral order in the morning to let the Ministry of Punishment and the Infantry Command the Yamen and Shuntian Mansion to try the case together. Why is my brother missing?"

This is why Lai Du was stunned by the question. It is a well-known fact that the eighth elder brother "retired from illness" after the "Eagle Killing Incident". Why did Long Live Lord think of asking this?
Kangxi replied after not seeing Lai for a while, and couldn't help frowning, saying: "Huh? You don't know why?"

Lai Du came to his senses, kowtowed quickly and said: "Return to the words of the Long Live Lord..." At this point, he paused, and said: "The eighth elder brother has been sick recently, and he will come to the Ministry of Punishment."

When Kangxi heard this, he snorted coldly, and threw the folding bag onto the kang table.Looking at the few ministers kneeling on the ground, no joy or anger could be seen on his face.

Lai Du's back immediately broke out in cold sweat, but his mind was very confused.

Logically speaking, even if officials were to be warned, they should be the admirals of the Nine Gates and the Governor of the Shuntian Mansion in charge of security in the inner and outer cities. How could it be his turn to be in charge of the Ministry of Punishment?

Long Kedo is the cousin and brother-in-law of the Lord Long Live, so it is easy to say if he is not involved; Wang Yi is Shuntian Fuyi, and this case happened in the outer city, which is his jurisdiction, so why not?
For a long time, until Laidu's body and knees were so painful, he heard Kangxi say: "Wei Zhu, go to the clan's mansion to pass on my oral order, Baylor Yinhu and Yanshou behave vilely, and wherever they should go, they are all lazy. If you don’t go, your salary, silver, rice, and the salary of the guards, officials, deacons, etc. will all be stopped.”

"Hey, the servants are taking the order!" Wei Zhu knelt down and agreed, and slowly exited the study, but she was a little bit happy in her heart.

In the past few days, perhaps because of the change of seasons, Master Long Live is not in the right mood.

He has served in Qianqing Palace for more than ten years, and he knows how to read his face, and of course he can detect it.

Although the palace family members and foreign ministers are patting him now, but he will not be so dazed that he doesn't know the severity and worry about his master's affairs.

When Lord Long Live was annoyed, as a slave, he treated himself like a wooden pole, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

This coming and going should be a leisurely half day.Besides, since he, the deputy head of the Qianqing Palace, went to pass the decree in person, how could there be any reason to come back empty-handed?

Even if he is as rebellious as Yaerjiang Ah, a prince with an iron hat, when he sees Wei Zhu, he has to speak softly.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhu walked briskly, and after leaving the study, he sent a little eunuch to tell the guards.

He is going to pass on the oral order of the Long Live Lord, and he needs to arrange manpower at the guard's office when he travels.

Wei Zhu sent the little eunuch there, straightened his collar, flicked his horseshoe sleeves, raised his head and walked back and forth to the gate of the garden.

Just after passing Xiaodongmen, I heard someone calling out with a smile: "Hey, Old Wei!"

It was Elder Sixteen who came for a stroll in the direction of Enmu Temple, Wei Zhu hurriedly stopped, turned around, and wanted to give Elder Sixteen a thousand blows.

Brother Sixteen supported his arm, and said with a smile: "Come on, it's too much. If we don't work hard, we will be born. A few days ago, you won 80 taels from the master. Why don't you see that you are so understanding?" rule?"

Wei Zhu and Elder Sixteen were used to getting acquainted, so seeing him like this, he also laughed and said, "It's because the Sixteenth Master loves the slaves and rewards the slaves with some money. If the slaves don't accept them, won't they show the face of the Sixteenth Master?" ?”

Elder Sixteen cast a glance at him, and said, "Okay, you're promising, and you'll be a good boy if you get a bargain! When your hands are itchy, who will accompany you to start the game?"

Wei Zhu is a useless person who is not good at anything but likes to gamble.

Because of his status, he can't gamble with others, otherwise, if he loses or wins, it's a sin.

Now, he is the No.1 in the Qianqing Palace. Not to mention anything else, after a year, he said that the money rewarded by the inner court dignitaries, as well as the grace of three festivals and two lifespans a year, are enough for him to chew for half a lifetime.

In addition, people outside use various names to pay tribute, even if they leave the palace now, they can spend several lifetimes.

He is really not short of money, but his heart is empty, looking for something to be happy.

Hearing that Elder Sixteen said that he would not play with him anymore, Wei Zhu immediately smiled, bowed and said, "Don't mind me, Master Sixteen, don't you want the life of your servant? The servant girl knows that the sixteenth master won the money from his private house last time, and the sixteenth master is not happy. How about, if you spend some time these two days, the servant girl will play with the sixteenth master again?" At the end, she stretched out her hand Come on, use your fingers to do the action of pinching the dice.

Brother Sixteen saw him being so flattering, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You can just play, but, whether you want to let the master win it back, or whether you want to win the master twice, but only you can understand..."

While the two were talking, the little eunuch who had just gone to the guard's office had already returned.

Seeing that Elder Sixteen was also there, the little eunuch greeted Elder Sixteen first, and then said to Wei Zhu: "My lord, the younger one has already reported to Mr. Fu, and four guards have been sent over there. , took a shortcut and led the horse, saying that he was waiting for the steward at the gate of the garden."

Wei Zhu already put a smile on her face, nodded, and sent the little eunuch back.

Brother Sixteen glanced at the young eunuch's back, turned his head, and asked, "Old Wei is on an errand? Are you going to the city?"

Wei Zhu nodded, looked around, saw no one around, walked two steps to Elder Sixteen, and whispered to the Ministry of Punishment, the Infantry Commander Yamen, the three adults of the Ministry of Punishment, and the matter of Wansui oral order I said it.

It's not that he's talking nonsense, but that even if he doesn't say it now, the sixteen-year-old elder brother will know the details tomorrow.Instead of hiding it, it's better to say this, but it seems that they have a close relationship with each other.

The sixteenth elder brother heard that the eighth elder brother and Humberle Yanshou were suspended in the oral order, and he couldn't help being surprised, and said with some doubts: "It's him? It's strange. He's not at home Discipline his precious son well, why did you think of making such a fuss?"

But he didn't know whether to ask Wei Zhu or talk to himself.

For the princes of these clans, Baylor, although Wei Zhu felt a little contemptuous in her heart, she didn't dare to show it on the surface.

Brother Sixteen can say some gossip, but he, a slave, can't say a word.

Otherwise, it would be a crime to lose one's head if you don't keep it all right.

Wei Zhu also hoped that she would live to be a hundred years old, and when she was old, she would go out to be raised, and spend a few years being waited on.Therefore, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Although Wei Zhu didn't see the scriptures, Elder Sixteen had already received news that it was the servants of the Wembler Mansion who "broke into the private house".

From the fire to the present, the case was solved in less than two days?

Even if there is no one else manipulating behind the scenes, it's just that the Wembley Mansion is bullying others, and there are people who "behaviour and demeanor", it shouldn't be Yanshou, who is nearly sixty years old, but the notorious Kui Huicai.

It's just that there seems to be something wrong with it.

Brother Sixteen squinted his eyes, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.Although Kui Hui's reputation was not good, after three or five months of silence, stories of bullying men and women and fighting came out, but there has been no serious evil in these years.

Otherwise, the imperial emissary would have impeached him long ago, and the clan mansion would have dealt with it. How could he be allowed to live at ease?

Although Kui Hui is a bit of a jerk, after all, he is the son of Baylor House, and he was also taught by playing various rules.Even if it is nonsense, it is nothing more than a small evil.

Why is it like eating the gall of a leopard, murdering and setting fire?

Not to mention that the people living there are not ordinary people, but big-time people...

Wei Zhu looked at the sky, feeling a little anxious.If I don't leave the garden again, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back at night.

He was in a bit of trouble, and whispered: "Master Sixteen, this servant..."

Elder Sixteen was interrupted by him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's go, Master will go into the city with you. This man who is half buried in the Wembley soil, why is he planning to hit the little widow?"

Wei Zhu curled her lips, but she didn't show any sympathy.

Among the people inside and outside the palace, the only ones he has good friends with are Cao Yong and brother sixteen.

This Wen BeiLe dared to send people to rob Cao's disciples by force, what if it didn't slap Cao's father and son in the face?
Few of these yellow-belt masters are not shabby, and they all have eyes that grow to the top of their heads.Even if he flattered Wei Zhu, he didn't forget to show off his master's score.

What else would you do besides carrying a cage to drive a bird and listening to a play?I really can't blame others for looking down on them, they are all fucking trash snacks.

Wei Zhu was not confused, she knew who was really nice to her and who was lying.

When he was a little Sura, none of those men had ever given him a look.

Even if he saw it, he would just treat him like a cat or a dog, throwing a golden melon seed, wrinkling his nose, and dismissing him with volatilities.

Because of his disabled body, many servants in the palace seldom relieved their hands, and their bodies smelled like urine.

It's not uncommon for those men to cover their noses and pass by, but his little Wei Zhu worked as an errand in the Qianqing Palace since he was a child, so he was the most clean, and he didn't let himself have the slightest smell.

Even so, there were not many masters who were willing to say a few words to him without disdain.

It's like, as long as you are a eunuch, you will be full of flirts, and if you get close, you will ruin them.

Shit, when meeting Liang Jiugong, why did no one dare to act like this?Flattering, as if meeting a real brother or father.

Wei Zhu knew that in the eyes of the rich and powerful, he was nothing more than an ant, not even a thing.Although he smiled and flattered the princes every day, he was very diligent and clever, but his heart was also depressed.

At this time, it is to catch up with Cao Yong to enter the palace as an errand.

It was the first time someone didn't avoid him. Although his attitude was lukewarm and he treated him like an ordinary person, Wei Zhu was very grateful.

In this world, how many people can treat him as a human being?
After a while, Elder Sixteen and Wei Zhu had already left the garden, and several guards from the guards' office were waiting here with their horses.

Although Elder Sixteen wanted to go back to the city, but his status was precious, how dare these guards move in vain?

After sending another person to call the bodyguards of the sixteenth elder brother, the group of people returned to the city quickly...

After entering the city, Elder Sixteen and Wei Zhu went to the Clan Mansion in Dongjiang Mi Lane.

Yaerjiang Ah was about to go to the Yamen, and when he heard that there was an order from the Lord Long Live, he hurriedly welcomed the two into the middle hall.

Yaerjiang was not surprised that Yanshou stopped paying silver and rice.

The fire was so big the night before, and those people who died, the salary, silver, and rice are all light, and it is impossible to say that they will seize the title next.

Among them, it seems that he doesn't do anything about the eighth elder brother?Although Yarjiang'a was surprised in his heart, his face was as usual.

After kneeling and listening to the oral order, he got up and said to the sixteenth elder brother: "Why do you have to be alarmed? Cao Yong is not in Beijing, and his father, can their family still suffer?"

Elder Sixteen laughed twice, and said: "I'm so bored, take a stroll, exercise your muscles..." Having said this, he turned his head to look at the sky outside, and said, "It's still bright today, Brother Wang If you are interested, let's go to the beekeeping lane?"

Although Yanshou voluntarily pleaded guilty, Yaerjiang'a was not a fool, so he naturally saw something wrong.

It's just that he likes to enjoy himself and doesn't like to worry about it. Whether it's murder or arson, as long as he doesn't provoke him, he can do whatever he wants.

Hearing that Elder Sixteen was going to beekeeping, Yaerjiang frowned and persuaded: "Little Sixteen, I advise you not to get mixed up with this, and made a muddy body carefully. With the protection of Long Live God, the Cao family will be fine. I'm afraid It's Yanshou who regrets it, the Cao family belongs to Lord Long Live, so it's up to the master to beat a dog..."
