When the fourth master saw the end of the letter, the tea on the table was already cold.

Although the understatement in the letter was all the audacity of the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and the concubines were tormented by them for a long time, it could not erase the impatience of the concubines in the palace.

Tong Jia's family has nothing to cut.

The fourth master put down the letter, wrote a handwritten letter and asked someone to send it out, and ordered Jiubeile to come and accompany him as soon as possible.

When the handwritten book arrived in Beijing, the ninth master asked people to quickly pack his luggage and he was about to leave, and on the other hand, he rushed to Chongwen's door to find the thirteenth master for help.

When the Thirteenth Master heard that the Ninth Master was going out with several horses and a pair of subordinates, he blocked the door of Chongwen and hurried out to greet him.

"Brother Jiu, what's the matter with your younger brother?" The thirteenth tea gave up his seat, and with a snap, the ninth master slapped the handwritten book on the table, and said with a wry smile: "Thirteenth brother, my brother is begging you to save your life." ”

The news in the palace will more or less leak into the ears of the thirteenth, and when he opened it, he saw that the long-lived lord, who usually likes to write letters, wrote less than ten words: Come quickly with Jiubeile Yunyu.

There is no antecedent, let alone a consequence.

Thirteen looked up at the ninth master, his face was full of bitterness: "Thirteen, my brother doesn't ask for anything else, if my brother plants it this time, you have to remember to take care of the family for your brother." ”

Thirteen was also uneasy in his heart, but he still smiled and said: "Brother Jiu thinks too much, Banzai may not be annoying you, maybe he asked you to come over to comfort you." ”

The ninth master didn't answer and looked at him.

Thirteen couldn't laugh anymore. He didn't believe it.

Jiu Ye drank the cup of tea in one gulp, got up and hugged his fists and went out. Go out and get on the horse, take the people and go away at a gallop.

In the evening, after returning to the house, Thirteen pondered for a long time, went to Zhaojia's place, and said, "Tomorrow you hand over the sign to the garden to see if there is anything going on with the concubine?" ”

In the Old Summer Palace, Li Wei received a letter from the fourth master, which said that he would be back soon.

As soon as the matter is handled, I will deal with it after I return to Beijing.

Li Wei has been reading this letter for two days, and she doesn't understand what else she has to deal with when he comes back?

She asked Yuyan: "Everything in the palace should be taken care of, what do you mean by long live?" "Do you think she didn't handle it well enough?

Yuyan didn't think that there was anything wrong with their master here, she said: "Master, call the slave maid to say that the master must not think that you have handled it badly, maybe you feel that you have been wronged?" ”

Li Wei didn't understand how this matter could be turned to her being wronged: "Where do I have grievances?" "It was the concubines who were detained, it was the Nian family who was used as a raft, and it was the queen who was ignored. She's in this event because it's either her or the Queen Mother, and one of them needs to stand up as a judge.

That's why she went back to the palace and became a judge to decide the case and put an end to this matter.

Yuyan said: "Why aren't you wronged?" This has nothing to do with you, and it also involves you to go back to the palace on purpose. ”

Li Wei couldn't cry or laugh, waved her hand and said, "I can't tell you clearly." "She and Yuyan have two positions. In her opinion, the face in this palace is the face of the fourth master, and it is her responsibility to maintain the fourth master. She couldn't let the concubines make a big deal out of this matter and smear the fourth master, so she quickly cut through the mess.

In Yuyan, it has nothing to do with her to see how the nobles and the concubines make trouble, let them make trouble, it is best to make the long live master angry.

Implicating her and returning to the palace means that she was wronged.

However, since there is such a sentence, Li Wei hurriedly sent a message to Zhao Quanbao, and then protect those sinful capitals first, raise them with good food and drink, and wait for the fourth master to come back to see what to do.

Fortunately, there is no murder in the palace, at least the fourth master does not like to kill people for trivial matters. It is a great sin for the eunuchs to deceive their masters as slaves, but they are not unto death. In the early years, there was a nurse in Kangxi's palace who bullied the princess, and she didn't kill anyone, but just sent the nurse's husband and son to Ningguta as slaves.

However, I heard that I had to hurry again after being tortured, and I died halfway through.

This is what she meant when she asked Zhao Quanbao to deal with it, dragging people out so that eunuchs like them could come to see their miserable appearance, and then announce their crimes, and then put them in prison, and send them away when they have saved up enough cars.

The fourth master set off in February, went around Henan, Shandong and other places, and returned to Beijing at the end of May and the beginning of June.

The dog day sun was shining overhead, and the car was like a steamer.

The fourth master often walked around the fields of Henan and Shandong these days, and he looked like he had changed his skin. He is not particular about it in the car, he only wears a big hexagram, no gauze pants underneath, and two legs are bare.

He lifted the curtain to look outside, Lao Jiu's face was red and black, not only tanned after more than a month, but also thinned, at first glance it looked a little like the first emperor of Kangxi in his 40s.

Looking at it this way, they are indeed brothers.

The fourth master groaned for a long time, and called someone to instruct Lao Jiu to go back to the car to rest, and don't bask outside.

Jiu Ye felt that the oil on his body had been exposed, and after listening to the rumor, he looked at the royal driving office suspiciously, and after thinking about it, he still told the guard who came to pass the word and said: "Long live the trouble, I can still have a little wind when I ride a horse outside, and the car is not as comfortable as outside." ”

The guards went back to pass the word, and after a while they came back again, this time saying, "Long live Lord Xuan Jiu Belle has passed." ”

The ninth master had already thought of it, and gently clamped the horse's belly and drove away.

Although the place in the emperor's dragon carriage is quite large, and there are a few boxes and cabinets on the couch, the courtiers generally kneel when they come in. The ninth master also knelt down as soon as he came in, and then he actually thought it was cool in this car?

There was definitely ice in the car.

Jiu Ye was so happy all of a sudden, he didn't even feel uncomfortable kneeling. He leaned forward and said respectfully: "Brother Banzai greets the Lord Banzai." ”

The fourth master snorted coldly above: "I am not at ease at all. ”

The ninth master lowered his head further, okay, he got used to it anyway. Since arriving in Baoding, Long Live Lord called him over and scolded him every now and then. But what made Jiu Ye most puzzled was that he sent him an errand after scolding. You're welcome, half of Shandong is where he walked down!

It's also because of this that Banzai scolded and scolded like this, and he wasn't as scared as he was when he first came. Originally, he really thought that Banzai was because he couldn't scold the mother in the palace, so he scolded him to get angry. But as long as Banzai is willing to give him an errand after scolding, he doesn't mind being scolded by Banzai at all.

Even scolding sounds comfortable, hehe~

Sometimes he thinks that he is really cheap, and he doesn't get angry when he is scolded, so he lets him go to work and mess around.

But thinking about the eighth master in the imperial tomb, he has no temper at all.

Long live willing to use you, willing to scold you, what else is there to ask for? Even Lao Shi doesn't like to look for him recently, he's still strange, Lao Shi said that he was angry when he saw him.

Lao Shi wrenched his fingers and counted him: "Among our brothers, there are only a few who are willing to call." The third child, because of the incident back then, although he knelt the fastest later, Long Live Lord also designated that he couldn't look down on him. Count down the fifth brother and the seventh brother, plus you and me. ”

"I have two uncles behind me, and there is a queen and a concubine in the palace, which basically ruins my future. I've been eating and waiting to die all my life. ”

The ninth master couldn't bear to say: "Old ten, why do you say that you are like a white-haired pig in that circle?" ”

The tenth master scolded: "Go!" Did you talk like that? ”

The ninth master hurriedly daoqian, the tenth master didn't admit it, and continued to scold: "I don't understand, if you want to put aside the emperor's thoughts, you and the fifth brother must be willing to use the fifth brother." As a result, the fifth brother didn't stick it up, so he retreated and asked for the second best thing. Otherwise, let you two elder brothers of the Guo Luo Luo clan not call and invite trouble? ”

The elder brothers in the palace in the early years were all famous families, and it was easy to have accidents if they used it all or not at all, and it was the right way to pull a few and fight a few.

Even if the Niu Colu clan was beaten, the Guo Luoluo clan was pulled. However, the beaten one was also given a sweet date, and the pulled one was also wiped with a county king.

Don't guess the emperor's thoughts, you can't guess at all anyway.

The tenth master zuihou scolded: "I think the fifth brother just doesn't worry about you, and I want the long-lived master to use you so that you don't stick it up, otherwise he had a friendship with the emperor in his early years, and he wants to be used by the emperor, where else is there anything to do with you?" ”

The Ninth Master thought so. He is not a person who does not know what to do, his brother is so for him, if he buries his brother's kindness again, then he might as well strangle himself to death first.

So now not only the lady in the palace has to count on him, but even the fifth brother's family is also his responsibility.

That's why the ninth master can't fight back, he doesn't scold back, and he looks extremely sensible and well-behaved.

The fourth master scolded him for two months, and he also felt that Lao Jiu was growing up now, so he didn't scold too much today, but only nodded at the mess in his house, and said, "Okay, get up." ”

The ninth master walked to the bed of Banzai, confessed his guilt, and found a low mound to sit down.

The fourth master said: "In a while, you will take people back to Beijing quickly, and quietly bring a few people to me." If you show the slightest rumor, you don't need this Baylor on your head. ”

Frightened, the Ninth Master rolled down and kowtowed: "The younger brother must have done it properly for the Long Live Lord!" ”

The fourth master nodded and said, "If you can do well, I will reward you as a county king." ”

The Ninth Master couldn't believe it! He looked up violently, and his eyes were full of twinkling stars! I wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, as if I was afraid that the king of the county would fly as soon as I laughed.

The fourth master was disgusted by his appearance, and he kicked it and said, "Okay!" If it weren't for the diligence and diligence of your escort this time, you wouldn't want to wear this county king for another ten years! ”

The Ninth Master kowtowed a few times and said, "Long live Heavenly Grace!" Brother Liver and Brain! Don't hesitate! ”

The Ninth Master took the Long Live Handbook and the guards to rush back to Beijing for a hundred miles, and raided the houses of several families of the Internal Affairs Department with lightning speed, and almost did not hear any movement in advance, so the family servants and the whole family were imprisoned, and all the family property was confiscated.

Half of the capital was shocked by the majesty of the Ninth Master.

When the tenth master found the ninth master, he said with a smile: "The ninth master? Lord Nine Belles? You've become famous in this battle, huh? ”

Jiu Ye copied his house and his head was swollen, and he hadn't slept for several nights. There have been three generations of families in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the present, and there is no shortage of cunning rabbits and three holes here. It's all found out that there is a private house here, and he will either take someone to it himself or order someone to go there.

And there are so many people who plead. He didn't even dare to go back to the house, so he set up a tent here at the gate of Chongwen.

Thirteen's yamen is here, and he is next to Thirteen.

Seeing the tenth master, he said angrily: "You are also here to intercede?" ”

The tenth master sat down unceremoniously and said, "If the master is not surnamed Aixin Jueluo, he can't come in, do you think I'm here to intercede?" ”

The ninth master was about to laugh, and the tenth master said solemnly: "Of course it is." Everyone knows that I am good with you, and I can come in and see you again, and the pleas are about to step on the threshold of my house. ”

Ninth Master: "Get out!" ”

The tenth master took out the gift, "I brought it to you specially these days, I haven't eaten and drunk well these days, right?" Eighteen taels of Shunyi Zhai! ”

Eighteen taels, that is, this banquet is made of eighteen taels of silver.

It can be regarded as one of the few seats in Beijing, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it.

The ninth master's saliva came down, and he slapped the table and said, "Why don't you hurry up and put it up?" I'll listen to it when I'm done. ”

The mermaid rushed in, set the table and then retreated.

The Tenth Master personally filled the Ninth Master, thinking of the Ninth Master's current reputation in the capital, he couldn't help but laugh again: "Old Jiu, just based on the movements of these two days, I think someone will remember you in ten or eight years." ”

Jiu Ye took a sip of the hundred-year-old Yuquan wine, which was mellow and fragrant, and his head seemed to make people stunned.

With the strength of the wine, he spit out the bitter water: "Old ten, you don't know my bitter ......"

The tenth master laughed, and said for him: "Eat, eat, just take a sip and get drunk?" ”

The ninth master really pretended to be drunk, and sighed: "Long live the cheapness is not easy to take advantage of......"

This is to let him exchange his reputation for the king of the county.
