Chapter 339: The Sensual Fourth Master
Before the gold festival in the first year of Yongzheng, the fourth master told Li Wei about the follow-up of the purse case.
"I already know the culprit, and now is not the time to move him. However, his minions in the palace have been cleaned up, and you can rest assured. He said.
Li Wei asked, "Who is it?" She had already guessed a person, so she made a lip shape: Eighth master?
The fourth master was stunned, and was surprised that she could guess by guessing, is this her intuition as a mother?
"Why do you think that?" He didn't say yes or no, and asked her.
Li Wei thought for a moment, "Intuition." β
The fourth master smiled, and she said, "Actually, it's not intuitive. It was this coinage that he hid from you, and I guess he is a man who likes to make a fortune. β
If someone else is unlucky, it is his chance.
The people involved in the purse case include Changchun Palace, Yongshou Palace, Honghui, Hongyi, Wulanala family, and even the concubines who resented the fourth master.
He alone will not be.
At first glance, this matter has nothing to do with the interests of the eighth master.
The main reason is that in history, the eighth master was involved with a certain son of the fourth master (she will never let history repeat itself!). She is equivalent to inferring the cause from effect, and it was he who was suspected at first. Later, all I wanted to find out was how he did it.
For a while, she also suspected that Concubine Hui of the East Sixth Palace was his internal response in the palace.
It wasn't until later that after changing all the people around the concubines in the East Sixth Palace, the West Sixth Palace was also grabbed by her in the palm of her hand, and she let go of half of her heart. The remaining half was also put down after the fourth master revealed the mystery today.
Eighth master, that's a grasshopper after autumn.
In fact, she was really worried that it was the handiwork of Changchun Palace or Honghui.
Dealing with the eighth master, the fourth master definitely did not hesitate at all. But for Changchun Palace and Honghui, he will cast a rat trap.
The most important thing is that perhaps for the fourth master, she and her four sons and one daughter are heavier than that side. But for the country and the emperor, the queen and the eldest son can definitely be heavier than everyone in this palace.
Even if you add the Queen Mother, it's the same.
The mother of the country has always referred to the queen, but I have never heard of the queen mother as the mother of the country.
Just like the current queen mother of the East Sixth Palace, she can only listen to flattery and enjoy dignity, but she no longer has any power.
The fourth master didn't expect that it was the matter of minting money that gave her inspiration, compared to him tossing for more than half a year, she only used one thing to convict the eighth child.
But when you think about it, it makes sense.
From the very beginning of this matter, he suspected Prince Li outside the palace, King Zhijun, Hongxi, Hongjin, Hongyu in the palace, as well as Hongsheng, the son of the fifth child, and Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui in the East Sixth Palace.
There is also the queen and the Ulanala family.
He didn't doubt Honghui, but he doubted the queen.
So after finding out in April, he always thought that Lao Ba was a shield for people to put forward, and let them continue to investigate. Even Guo Luo, Luo, and Prince An's Mansion have been checked.
Now I can be sure that it is the eighth child who made a trick to separate the father and son of the Heavenly Family, and he will never let him go!
Li Wei just looked at him and smiled, and couldn't help but feel a chill on her body.
Then on the day of the gold festival, she knew what he was doing in the palace.
The Golden Festival is a big festival for the people, so there will be a lot of people entering the palace on this day. Just like calculating how many guests there are to prepare a few chairs in advance, Yongshou Palace has to count the list of officials and relatives who will come that day before the gold festival.
Li Wei likes tree diagrams very much, so the catalog is very clear, how many people are here, which ones they have, what is the relationship between each family, and so on.
According to the ranking of the clan from high to low, and then she found that there was a lack of Fujin of a county king.
Li Wei immediately called Chang Qing and asked, "Which one has had a funeral recently?" β
Her first reaction was that the daughter of a certain county king had died. Because even if he is seriously ill, he will give gifts to the palace, and there will definitely be on the list, but it will be marked 'absent due to illness'.
Chang Qing recalled carefully and shook his head affirmatively: "The slave didn't hear about it." β
Li Wei said strangely: "That's weird." She asked people to take out the list of those who entered the palace on last year's gold festival, and the two pairs found someone: "King of Anjie County." Although she couldn't remember what the person who came in and kowtowed looked like
Chang Qing said suddenly: "It's all slaves who are confused, and the Anjie County Royal Mansion really can't enter." β
Why can't he get in? It's just that the wife is gone, and the son is Fujin.
Chang Qing explained, the king of Anjie County is the forty-ninth year of Kangxi, and the prince of the county is not good a few days ago, so please set up a prince. But the king of Anjie has no son, and his son is an heir.
Long live us, say that the heir can't be the son of the world.
Fujin, the king of Anjie County, has passed away, and originally this year, the prince Fujin could come in and kowtow. But now that the prince has no shadow, the prince Fujin no longer exists.
The gift from the Anjun Mansion was still delivered, but since it was impossible for anyone to come in, of course there would be no seats.
Li Wei was speechless for a long time, Chang Qing probably saw it, and added another sentence: "The king of Anjie County is Guo Luoluo's cousin." β
There were a few people absent from this gold festival, the Fujin of the king of Zhijun had died, and the new Fujin Emperor went before he had time to point out, and the fourth master had to wait two years later if he wanted to point out. The princess on Prince Li's side is still there, but it is impossible for the fourth master to bring the former princess into the palace.
There is also an eighth master, no lord.
So these three families and four masters are all giving banquets, so that they can also thank the emperor for his grace and celebrate with the sky in the mansion.
After watching the fireworks and sending off the guests, Li Wei went to the Palace of Heart Cultivation and complained to the fourth master that she especially wanted to see Guo Luoluo's face. "If she knew about the Anjun Palace, I don't know what it would be like."
She can't be blamed for her schadenfreude. In the past, Guo Luo Luo was annoying, but now he is like a cockroach, and he must kill it when he sees it!
The fourth master was so amused by her that he was rinsing his mouth and squirting out with a smile, and he was spraying Su Peisheng's face.
Suddenly, the people in the room were stunned, and the fourth master was also stunned, and then he laughed even more, waved his hand and said, "Go, go, wash." β
Su Peisheng was sprayed so much that his eyes couldn't open a little, and he blinked again and again and said with a smile: "Long live this squirt, the slave will definitely have good luck next year!" β
Even Li Wei admires how good this sycophant is filmed.
The fourth master was praised by his words, and he couldn't hold back his laughter, pointed to the door and asked him to go out quickly to wash his face.
When everyone in the house went out, the fourth master sat down and pointed at her and whispered, "You recruited me." β
Li Wei hid back with a smile, he was serious for a while and then laughed again.
Outside the house, Su Peisheng washed his face and heard the laughter of Banzai in the house, so he stopped his feet and stood guard outside the door. A little eunuch wanted to slap him, so he leaned over and said, "Why doesn't Grandpa go in?" Banzai Lord must want to see ...... "Look at the way you have washed your face?"
The little eunuch laughed and signaled, 'You understand what I mean', they are all desperate to show their faces in front of the master, even if the master just casually orders a small thing, they have to run back and say that it is done after it is done. Only then did they take their master's words to heart.
Su Peisheng glanced at the little eunuch: "When you are your grandfather, I am as stupid as you?" He raised his chin and pointed to the room, and Banzai smiled again at this moment, although he couldn't hear what the concubine said, just looking at Banzai, who couldn't hold anyone other than the concubine in his eyes now.
The little eunuch thought that he was afraid of the concubine, and hurriedly whispered: "Your lord is angry!" The last time I didn't go out, she didn't get angry. Go in, and your lord won't be annoyed with you. "When the concubines wait for long live, they hate the pestle around them the most, and it's not convenient to do anything, isn't it?
Therefore they waited in the house for a look.
As soon as he said this, Su Peisheng didn't even bother to roll his eyes, and pointed to the side: "Get out of the way." β
On the Eighth Master's Mansion, Guo Luo Luo was buried in the arms of the Eighth Master and cried bitterly.
If Prince Anjie didn't want to lose his title, why did he want to accept the heir? As a result, the emperor said that if the heir couldn't do it, he would return the fold of asking for the prince. I heard that Prince Anjie almost didn't come up in one breath at that time.
"Your Majesty...... The emperor is a heart! She said hatefully.
The eighth master covered her mouth and shook her head gently: "You can't talk nonsense." Then he sighed softly. After the palace maid election, the palace couldn't inquire about anything. The emperor has blocked all the mouse holes.
The matter of minting money was also handed over to Thirteen.
What now?
He would never waste his time in the house. The emperor didn't use him, so he let him have to use him.
The title of King Anjie County can't be kept.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that he could only find a way to take Concubine Hui out of the palace.
The emperor said that only the county king and above can support the concubine, in other words, as long as the concubine is raised, at least he will be a county king.
Almost in the blink of an eye, winter is coming, and the first year of Yongzheng is about to pass.
Several heavy snowfalls covered the entire capital, and the fourth master began to be busy with the affairs of the displaced people in the suburbs of Beijing again.
Every year at this time, there will be displaced people to flock to the capital. In particular, the flow in Henan and Shandong has been the heaviest. Both of these places are large farming provinces, and the most people rely on the sky for food. The slightest natural disaster, ** will follow.
The fourth master was furious in the Heart Cultivation Palace.
In the afternoon, when Su Peisheng braved the snow and took people to Yongshou Palace to pick up the concubine, he hadn't finished scolding in front of him.
But as early as this morning, Banzai asked him to pick up the concubine, saying that the weather was so cold, so he would pick it up when the weather was still good, so as not to walk on the road when it was dark.
Therefore, it was only halfway through the hour, and the sky was still cloudy, but the snow was already a little lighter, so he hurriedly brought people over.
Li Wei wore a thick cloak, a hat to block the snow, and a stove in her arms, and came out of Yongshou Palace fully armed. After crossing the palace road, he entered the back door of the Heart Cultivation Hall just a dozen steps away.
As soon as I entered, the snow on my hat turned into water. At this time, I felt a little cold on my feet.
Su Peisheng had already asked people to prepare hot water, soak his feet, and serve a bowl of ginger tea, and he was relieved to see your lord sitting on the burning haode kang.
She put down the ginger tea after drinking half a cup, and Su Peisheng said diligently: "Your lord wants to use something else?" There is just made haode butter tea. β
She nodded and said, "Then have a bowl of ......" Before she finished speaking, she heard a familiar scolding from the front hall.
I heard it very clearly, the fourth master was scolding the 'idiot'.
With butter tea, she ate two red bean cakes, patted the slag on her hands and was about to call for water to wash her hands, when the fourth master came in.
"It smells so good." He said, sat down and said to Su Peisheng: "Give me a bowl of it, just like the concubine." β
Li Wei is not in a hurry to wash her hands, and accompanies him to use a little more.
She took the salt and pepper pot and ate it slowly, and after watching the fourth master, she drank two bowls of butter tea for a while, and ate spicy pot rice, salt and pepper pot rice, mutton cumin pot and so on.
After he finished eating, the two of them washed their hands together, and she asked them to bring almond lanolin and apply it to his hands, and then put their four hands together to apply hand oil.
His fingers were slender and white, better than hers. Her hands were too soft to touch the bones, and his hands were thin, but they were as hard as steel and iron.
She looked at her watch, and before five o'clock he had eaten a snack, and by six he must have no appetite to eat.
Just to save time, the two of them can do something else.
The fourth master has been so busy recently that he has no time to read the book of cultivating immortals, and the drama book sent by the Shengping Department has become his new pastime. Li Wei has a sense of guilt for being a bad student, the fourth master used to read all books, and the only thing he hadn't read was probably a play book.
As a result, now the door of the new shijie cannot be closed as soon as it is opened.
She also asked the fourth master curiously, what's so good about this play?
The fourth master said solemnly and deeply: "I don't know much about folk things, but I found out that day that I can see a lot of folk things in this playbook." Then he sneered and said that it was much better than the minister's recitals.
Li Wei was sweating deeply.
Putting it in modern times is like saying that a TV series reflects the world.
οΌβ¦β¦ Seems to make some sense.
Today, he and she were also holding a play book and reading it, and after watching it for a while, she couldn't help but lean over to see what he was reading. Because his eyebrows have been wrinkled into Sichuan characters since just now, and when he turns the page, he seems to have a ten-life enmity with the bookβtoo hard, and he tear the pages off carefully.
She followed through a few pages and found that it was a Xi'er story.
Huang Shiren is the government. During the Chinese New Year, the government came to force the tax, saying that the Xi'er family's tax was not enough this year. Xi'er's family farms the land, and they have to hand over the grain to the official warehouse every year. But usually he pays 30 buckets, and the government will only remember 20 buckets.
Those ten buckets are benefits, and they will be privately swallowed by the treasury and county officials of the official warehouse.
So in order to pay enough taxes, Xi'er's father has to pay more every year, or give money to bribe the yacha.
But this year's harvest is not good, if it is not for the treasury and the county officials, the Xi'er family will pay enough. Xi'er's father begged for a long time when he handed over the grain, saying that he would pay it all next year, and even if he borrowed it in the spring, he would pay it all. The front foot of the treasury promised him, and when he went back, he thought about it and wrote it again, he can wait here, but the county official can't wait.
Therefore, on the good day of the Chinese New Year, the official messenger blocked the door and wanted to lock Xi'er's father.
Later, there was a Bao Qingtian at that time. Li Wei guessed that Xi'er either escaped from the village or was sold. Then she will meet the scholar, and the scholar will definitely go to high school, and then come back to punish this bad county official and the treasurer.
But the fourth master saw that Zuihou was so angry that his hands were shaking, and when he saw that Xi'er's father was locked to the yamen, he happened to meet the Guan Ku on the way, and Xi'er Dad knelt on the ground and hugged Guan Ku's leg and begged him, he really paid enough taxes.
Guan Ku sang: It's not that I want to hurt you, it's really the master above who can't let you and me go.
Xi'er Dad sang along: God, be merciful!
The fourth master sat up and threw out the play book, and said hatefully: "I, I'm going to give this county official Ling Chi!" β
Li Wei was stunned, and cautiously leaned up to stroke his chest and smoothed his breath: "Yinzhen, this is all fake." "There is no such county official. If this is sung on the stage, the person who pretends to be a county official can be scared of pee.
The fourth master was so angry that her eyes were red, she was puzzled, and she touched the hair back and forth. accompanied him to crack the car of the county magistrate a hundred times before he was able to coax him to recover.
I didn't find the fourth master so emotional.
Li Wei feels like she's discovered a secret!
The author has something to say: good night everyone, see you tomorrow
