Chapter 70 Miss Smith leaves the Ao Mansion with her hair disheveled

Chapter 70 Miss Smith leaves the Ao Mansion with her hair disheveled
Aobai's mansion was suddenly copied, which shocked Jinghua.The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Patrol Yamen didn't know what had happened, and they wanted to break into the mansion to check the situation, but they were almost detained by the iron beggars.

The copied things were piled up like a hill in front of the hall, and Tie Gai personally sent someone to register them in the register by category.

Mrs. Rong of Aobai was detained in the East Wing, and there were only five maids in front of her, Juxiu, Pinggui, Suqiu, Moju, and Caiping. When the servants of Aoboi's mansion heard the sound of "ransacking the house", they seemed to have disappeared. Like a bee nest.Some asked for long vacations, and some resigned from the owners of various houses to find other errands.The iron beggar only imprisoned Oboi's own branch, the rest did not restrain them.A large family of three or four hundred people went to more than 200 people, only some slaves who had children at home still guarded their nests and could not fly or leave.

Although the family suffered such an unexpected catastrophe, the Rong family was still calm and composed.For several days in a row, the inside and outside were like a mess, and the ear reports from different channels changed one after another, and she could deal with them calmly.

"Ju Xiu, all of you come here!" Sitting on the kang in the lower room where Ju Xiu used to live, Mrs. Rong suddenly said.A few girls stood aside with their heads bowed, listening to her talk, "Master, something happened, this family is not in good shape. If you have relatives, visit relatives, if you have families, go home!" Speaking of this , she felt her eyes were astringent, wiped her tears and said, "Master Ban in the mansion over there, I have long seen that he is not a serious person, our master does not listen to people's persuasion, and keeps getting close to him. —— Theirs Although I don't know about those things, it must be a big deal if I think about it!"

After hearing these words, Jianmei felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.Originally, she came to Beijing for revenge, and was full of anger to make an enemy of the Manchurians, but unexpectedly met her childhood friend Wei Dongting who was determined to follow Kangxi. He himself was also involved in the political vortex of Kangxi seizing the palace.But in the past few years, getting along with Aobai's wife, Mrs. Rong, has become more and more intimate.

Although the Rong clan is extremely strict internally, it treats the humble and humble people very kindly.Thanks to the great help of this lady, Jianmei did not suffer much in the Ao Mansion.Now seeing that even the Rong family is about to end, Shi Jianmei is in a dilemma and doesn't know how to deal with it.Jianmei felt sad when she heard Rong's words, and felt ashamed.So she slowly began to persuade: "Madam, don't be sad. Wherever things go today, no matter what, the crime is not as good as a child. The slave will accompany you!"

"Don't say that," Rong said with a forced smile, "it's hard for you guys to follow me, not only did you gain nothing, but you ended up like this, I'm already very uncomfortable!" She sighed and continued, "No To hide from you guys, I still have a little bit of self-"

As he spoke, Rong looked out and saw no one, so he took out a bank note from his bosom, "You guys take it and share it, it's useless if I want it!" As he spoke, he shook his head Suo Suo handed the bank note to Jianmei, "This is [-] silver. Although you came late, I see that you have more opinions than the others, and you are more partial to you-you can share it with them. , don't disappoint my heart!"

The girls were already crying like tears, Jianmei's face was blushing, she took a look at the banknote, handed it to Juxiu and said: "You can share it with the sisters, there must be someone here, Madam, I'm not going anywhere!"

"No way!" Rong's face changed color slightly, "I have stopped eating and drinking since yesterday. Rather than being humiliated in public, I'd rather die cleanly."

It was only then that everyone realized that she intended to commit suicide!Several people knelt down and cried loudly.Jianmei collapsed in five internal organs, but she was choking dryly. Seeing that Mrs. Rong just smiled and did not answer, knowing that she was determined to die, it was useless to persuade her, so she got up and said, "Madam, you are just doing your best for the sake of the master. Okay, the slave didn't dare to stop it. But if the master has a glimmer of hope, wouldn't the wife die in vain? The slave wants to take a leave of absence and go out to find out." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Rong to answer, she knelt on her knees He kowtowed and got up and went out.

After a few days of interrogation, I realized that the complexity of the case was far beyond imagination.Kangxi was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and every day he summoned Jie Shu, Ye Bilong, Wu Liuyi and others.Wei Dongting also knew the situation of the interrogation well. Thinking of Kangxi's judgment on Bumbleshan last year, Wei Dongting was even more impressed by the 15-year-old boy emperor.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, but the oriole is behind." Kangxi laughed, "I expected that Ban Buershan was not the material to be subservient to others. Ao and Ban, at this moment, I can't figure out who is the master."

"Long live Lord Shengming!" Jie Shu smiled apologetically, "The master rebellion is still Oboi, but Bumble Shan, as a close member of the royal family, instigates rebellion, and his crime is not as serious as Oboi."

"That makes sense," Kangxi nodded and said, "This man is a treacherous and cunning man, but Oboi fell for him."

Ye Bilong listened to Kangxi's meaning, and seemed to have the intention of defending Oboi, so he wanted to make a further test, blinked his eyes, and came up to him and said: "According to the "Law of the Qing Dynasty", such crimes, regardless of who they are. , they are all to be executed by Ling Chi. As for how to deal with it, it is up to the Holy Judgment." In the past few days, he has been in a relaxed mood, as if he had lost his serious illness, and he seemed quite energetic when he spoke.

"You still can't get rid of this old problem." Kangxi didn't understand what he said, and thought he was prevaricating, "If you can't come up with an idea, you can be called a loyal minister? Tell me, is there anything wrong with Oboi's crime?" ?”

Ye Bilong hurriedly said: "Death is certain, but there are several ways to die. The slaves thought that Oboi was an important minister who was entrusted to Gu Gu. It seems that he can be treated lightly because of his meritorious service in entering the pass from the dragon. Yes. This is also the benevolent heart of my Holy Lord."

The last sentence was very useful to Kangxi, and it was exactly what the empress dowager wanted.Just as he was about to say a few words of praise, he suddenly remembered that Xiong Cilu had been standing beside him without speaking, so he asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Xiong Cilu was thinking about this question with all his thoughts at the moment, and when he saw Kangxi pointing to him, he quickly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty is wise, there is no need to talk about Oboi's crime, no matter how you deal with it, it will not be too much. But The minister believes that the most important thing now is not how Oboi himself is, but whether it is beneficial to the monarch's plan to rule, so how to deal with it is really unusual-the servant and Suo'etu discussed it until the third watch yesterday, but there was no consensus. Don't dare to pretend to be deceitful, let the servant think again."

"This is the old-fashioned view of seeking the country!" Kangxi praised greatly, "Jie Shu, Ye Bilong, can only use martial arts, but not literature, this is impossible! You have a meeting again, don't be timid, what you have to say, just say it." That’s all for the purpose.”

After Wei Dongting retreated, he changed into casual clothes and went to Suofu to look for Wu Ciyou—since Oboi was captured, Suo'etu sent a car to take him back that day—he didn't understand what kind of treatment would be considered "beneficial" In the great plan of the monarch to govern", I would like to hear how Wu Ciyou views this issue.

Wu Ciyou and Mingzhu were talking lively, when they saw Wei Dongting coming in, they hurriedly gave up their seats and said, "Please take a seat, the tea is ready-made on the table, please use it yourself!"

"What are you talking about so happily?" Wei Dongting asked as he sat down.

"The matter of Oboi." Mingzhu laughed, "Brother actually thinks that the imperial court may not be willing to kill Oboi, is it ridiculous?"

Wei Dongting was immediately interested, leaned forward and said, "I just heard from the Shunde teahouse that I'm afraid I'm going to cut Oboi!" Mingzhu clapped her hands and said, "How? What do I say!"

"It's a big mistake to cut it!" Wu Ciyou said coldly, seeing Wei and Ming listening intently, he continued, "Oboi is now the flesh of the case, it doesn't matter if you kill him or not, but the four of you Minister Gu Ming, when he first established his career, he put in a lot of effort. Sonny died of old age, and the rest of the people were killed, cut, and corrupted. They didn't end well. Can the court not worry about the chilling of all officials?" He picked up the tea and took a sip, "This is the first floor. What's more important, the south is not peaceful now, and the war is about to start, but there are many generals in the army who are old with Oboi. If you kill Oboi, who can protect them?" Doubt and fear?"

Speaking of this, Wei Dongting and Mingzhu suddenly realized that this was the reason why Kangxi was hesitant.

"Brother Wu," Mingzhu wanted to ask, Oboi tried to murder Kangxi twice, is this crime forgiven?Suddenly it occurred to him that Wu Ciyou didn't know the inside story, and Kangxi had repeatedly ordered him not to leak it, so he changed his words and asked, "I heard that Oboi tried to kill the king several times to stand on his own feet. Woolen cloth?"

"Judging from his usual behavior, he must have such a plotting heart." Wu Ciyou pondered, "The holy order has not been issued so far, and I am afraid that he will be caught in these matters." After speaking, he laughed, "You two have fame. I'm still here, so I can take care of these nosy things!"

Just as he was talking, Suo'etu also came, and Wei Dongting and Mingzhu both stood up.Wu Ciyou hurriedly bowed to give up his seat and said, "Congratulations Dong Weng, you will be promoted soon!"

"I like it, sir even more!" Suo'etu sat down with a smile, and said ambiguously, "Nowadays, the world is peaceful, and Mr. is a great talent, and he will definitely be reused by the court!"

"Where's Longer?" Wu Ciyou said, "I've been back for many days, hasn't he come yet after he went to offer incense?"

Suo'etu smiled and replied, "He? You Xin'er came back yesterday. After the three-day wedding, he will return to Beijing with Mrs. Tai. Then you will see him."

Seeing that he was fine, Wei Dongting got up and said goodbye: "Brother Mingzhu will accompany you to talk with your lord and sir, I'll go back and deal with some business."

As soon as he returned to his own residence in Hufang Bridge, the old man came back and said: "Master, there is a woman outside who wants to see you!"

"Woman!" Wei Dongting was stunned for a moment, he couldn't remember who it was, and when he rushed out to have a look, he met Shi Jianmei in the doorway!
