An Dehai was taken down like this, which was expected by Guan Zhuofan, after all, Cixi's style of acting, he knew too well, once he decided on something, it was decisive and abnormal, and there would be no trace of dragging.

This is the Queen Mother's own disposition of Xiao Anzi, and it has nothing to do with Guan Beizi, this is what matters. After some pretentiousness and scheming, he not only achieved his goal, but also did not fall into the pretext of revenge, which is quite satisfactory.

As for the "holy virtue" of the Queen Mother, what kind of comments will be made from outside, that is another matter. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and he has no intention of doing anything to maintain it.

The holiness of the two houses is too flawless to be a good thing.

There is a bad guy next to you, dare to say that you are not responsible?

Of course, this is a calculation that he hides in his heart and refuses to declare, but the queen mother in the deep palace also has the same opinion as him.

Cixi, who returned to the dormitory, had completely calmed down, and was thinking about this problem with her heart - although An Dehai had already taken it, what should I do with this little Anzi?

You don't have to think about staying or staying, you have to think about whether to kill or not to kill.

For her, An Dehai is considered a "veteran of the two dynasties", which is true. When Xiao Anzi was assigned to serve by her side, it was when she fell out of favor with Xianfeng and lived in the cold palace. From a thirteen-year-old little eunuch to the current head of Changchun Palace, he has been serving with all his heart and soul by his side, and it cannot be said that there is no affection.

An Dehai has made a great contribution for her, and this is not false. An Dehai is clever and kind to speak, bold and bold, whether it is the battle between her and Su Shun at the beginning. Or the later Qixiang coup. This little Anzi passed on information. Communication with Guan Zhuofan has played a great role. This merit is incomparable to any other eunuch in the palace.

However, whether it is affection or merit, it is not something that should be cared about at this moment, and even the hatred and anger towards Xiao Anzi can be put aside first. Now what Cixi is thinking about is killing An Dehai. Is it good or bad for you?

There are advantages, if you hear it, you will change it, act vigorously and resolutely, and you will never protect the shortcomings of the people around you, and it will be helpful to your Shengming image among the ministers below.

However, the disadvantages are also obvious, the so-called "coffin closure theory", once An Dehai is killed, it shows that his sins are unforgivable, and for himself who has always been strong. The most favored person around him is actually a person with unforgivable sins. After confirming this reputation, what kind of eyes should others look at themselves in the future?

There is another one, although it is not so important, but it is also time to think about it - the people around you, if you can't protect yourself, will the people who are willing to work for you in the future weigh in your heart?

I weighed it back and forth like this, and I didn't think of the worst idea for a while.

However, the situation was stronger than people, and the next day Cixi found that there had to be a clear disposition.

First of all, it is an excerpt on the widow, talking about the little emperor's homework, writing a large article in a branch, and then sandwiching a sentence in the nonsense: "The inner servant obstructs the holy drive, and asks the holy learning, which has not been heard of in the two hundred years of the dynasty." The depth of sacred learning, this is only annoying to the two palaces, how can anyone else do it? ”

This sentence is extremely powerful, which means that only the queen mother of the two palaces can ask about the emperor's studies, why does a slave dare to ask in a big way? And although the little emperor is young, he is still the emperor, and he is a "holy driver", not a eunuch who can stop him without authorization.

This kind of thing can be big or small, if it is placed in the Qianlong period, I am afraid that this eunuch will die a miserable death.

After reading this excerpt of Wuren, Cixi was already shocked, and when she looked at the second one, it was actually Lin Tieshan's excerpt. In addition to not naming names, the others are not like U Ren, with the privilege of the imperial history and the wind to hear about the matter, directly exposed the case of Mingshan, the important sentence is "Or Yun has a false holy will, private political affairs, the minister is shocked and can't bear to hear it", looming suspicion that An Dehai has a false act of spreading the decree.

With Cixi's shrewdness, she immediately understood that this matter could not be delayed any longer, otherwise Guan Zhuofan's painstaking efforts to protect himself would become useless!

So the next day, an eight-character edict came out of the palace.

"Let's check the Andehai family's property."

*

Inspecting a family's property is roughly equivalent to raiding a house, but there are subtle differences. Whether the records are merely inspected, sealed, confiscated into the official treasury, or returned by grace at a later date depends on the specific circumstances of the offender.

In a situation like An Dehai, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a sign of death, and Xiao Anzi is finished.

For such a good messenger as copying the house, Guan Beizi is really "overwhelmed with yearning". Thinking that at the beginning, Wei Xiaobao and Lord Wei angrily copied Aobai Mansion, wearing what he was wearing, holding it in his hand, and carrying it in his arms, it was really full of loads, and it is said that he could also take the opportunity to tease a few little wives of Ao Gongye, what a happy thing it was?

However, Guan Beizi, the first assistant of the country, took someone to raid a eunuch's house, so it was too much to give the prisoner face, right? Besides, Father-in-law's two daughters-in-law were bought with money, and they are still the daughters of good families in the end, although it is said that the two yellow flower girls married the eunuch as wives, it is inevitably sighing, but if Guan Beizi has any bad intentions, it is really a never-ending thing.

So Guan Zhuofan just asked for some secrets, and waited for the good news. Sure enough, before it was nearly evening, the list of copyists was presented, and just looking at the dozen or so pages, I knew that the road was not trivial.

Looking at it carefully, I can't help but be shocked, among them, there are more than 3 million copper coins, and I don't know if there are so many piles at home, is it too cumbersome? After the most deaf, it was converted together with gold and silver, and the total floating wealth was nearly one million taels of silver.

Guan Zhuofan was really unexpected, he always had such an impression: Even Cixi can't spend money to be her own master, how much can a eunuch underneath grow? Moreover, it has only been a few years since the coup d'état in Qixiang, how could An Dehai save such a large amount of money? Where did he get so many ways?

But the most interesting thing is the other two.

First, from the treasury of An Dehai's family, a lot of royal objects were copied, such as calligraphy and paintings, Luanjin self-striking bells, jewelry, and even a lot of cheap tea bowls and spoons. Needless to say, it was An Dehai and Xiao Chengzi who made trouble together, and it has been sold, and I don't know how many.

This is an important "way to make money" in Andehai.

The other is "Persona of the Jingshi" made by An Dehai's uncle An Bangtai, the manuscript is thick and thick, and each page is in small letters, but it is very neat.

"Old Wu, what about others?" Guan Zhuofan asked.

The raid on An Dehai's home was led by an official sent by the Criminal Department and the Internal Affairs Office, and this official of the Criminal Department, called Wu Tianle, was a friend of Guan Zhuofan who knew him when he was on an errand in the south of the city. Lao Wu was just a six-grade clerk back then, and he was proficient in the law, and that time Guan Zhuofan held a banquet at home, and was called by the second brother Zhuoren, and Guan Zhuofan also asked him for advice on what to do.

Now it's different, with the rise of Guan Beizi, Lao Wu is also proud, first promoted to Wailang, and soon promoted to Langzhong, and recently it is even worse, and he sent an envoy from the Autumn Trial Office to sit down, and he is among the "Eight Great Sages".

The Autumn Trial Division is the most important department of the Criminal Department, which is in charge of both the Autumn Judgment and the criminals directly sent to the Criminal Department for interrogation. There are eight people in the office, all of whom are senior Lang Zhong and Wai Lang selected from various divisions, each of whom has thousands of cases hidden in his chest, and the characters who are familiar with the laws of the Qing Dynasty are known as the "Eight Great Sages".

It is said that the "Eight Great Sages" not only know the laws and regulations, but also keep them upright, if they do not conform to the laws, even if the emperor and the queen mother will, they will refute it.

"Back to Bei Ziye's words," Wu Tianle said respectfully, "He is An Dehai's housekeeper, so he is naturally detained and interrogated by the Criminal Department." ”

Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, the main owner An Dehai has been imprisoned in the worship room, and in his troika, Mingshan and An Bang are too close to the criminal department, and they are still a little bit younger, and he can't afford to steal the palace treasury alone.

"Well," he smiled slightly, patted the thick stack of manuscripts, and handed it back to Lao Wu, "It is still necessary to judge impartially." ”

"Please rest assured that Bei Ziye will naturally be judged impartially." Lao Wu bowed down to take the manuscript and replied solemnly.

An Bangtai's case is not the same thing as Mingshan, the Criminal Department only sent a principal, and the trial was very fast.

The case that has been tried must be decided, and it needs to be judged by the "Eight Great Sages" in the autumn. In a case like An Bangtai, he took a rough look at the case file as it said, nodded and passed, but this time, Wu Tianle had something to say.

"I think the article on forcibly marrying a people's girl can be crossed out." He said disapprovingly, "First, he Anbang is not the main master, but he is doing it for him, and the second is that he has redeemed enough silver, and the two families are willing." It doesn't make sense to impose this crime on the law. ”

There is a point in his words. Everyone knows that An Dehai is unlucky, and the main person in charge of the trial can't help but figure out the meaning of Shangfeng, and set it a little heavier. Now Lao Wu said this, it was an impartial attitude, and the other seven, of course, had no objections, so An Bangtai's charge of forcibly marrying a people's daughter was exempted.

"It's ...... this book" Wu Tianle opened the manuscript of "Anecdotes of the Beijing Master", and while turning the page, he picked up the pen, and unceremoniously began to draw a bar on it, a total of seven or eight lines out.

"Look, everybody." He divided the selected manuscripts among the other seven men. Everyone was a little surprised by his move, and when they saw it, they saw that the few articles that were drawn out were written such as "On a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, the Queen Mother returned to Ning", how gorgeous, how lively, or "The twenty-ninth day of the first month was rewarded, and the Queen Mother gave a certain prince mink fur", how precious, how beautiful and so on.

"Old Wu, this is ......" Suddenly, a sitting officer, understood what he meant, and gasped and said.

"That's right," Wu Tianle pointed his two thin fingers the case, and said categorically: "This is a private living note!" “
