The south bank of Shichahai, the palace of Dunjun, the study.

Although he was impatient with the smell of medicine, in order to "rejuvenate his strength", Brother Ten still frowned, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all.

Opposite the tenth elder brother stood a middle-aged man dressed in eight-grade service, perhaps because the weather was too hot, his forehead was full of sweat, flowing down his cheeks, but he didn't dare to wipe it, and he completely bowed his head to obey the order.

Brother Ten didn't have a good impression of the imperial doctor, but now when he saw the man's nested appearance, he was even more angry, and threw the bowl to the ground.

The imperial doctor had weak legs, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing: "The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life, the prince spares his life!" ”

"Shut up!" The ten elder brothers were tired of hearing this, and scolded impatiently.

"Wang ......" The imperial doctor also felt obediently, and stopped the next few words vividly, his head was close to the ground, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

Brother Ten patted a few cases: "Tell me about the master, what's going on?" Didn't you say that it was not in the way, but you were tired and wanted to recuperate for half a month, and it was enough to recuperate! In the past half a month, the master has also raised it, and this soup has not fallen to the ground to drink it sooner or later, why is it not good? ”

The imperial doctor tried his best to think of the wording, and asked cautiously: "Can the prince tell the minister, between this bed, the prince is still as 'pure in heart and few desires' as before?" ”

Although there was no one else in the room, and it was a doctor in front of him, Brother Ten was still a little embarrassed, glared at him fiercely, and said: "From the beginning of the month, see better; These two are also occasionally one or two. It's just that this time is a little shorter, and before I can enter the alley, I will leak my body! ”

The imperial doctor had a bottom in his heart, and thought for a while: "The prince is a little restless, this has always been 'illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread', the prince thinks that it is because of the lack of health a few days ago, but now it seems that it is getting better!" ”

"It's getting better, it's getting better! I know how many years this is going to 'gradually' when I say this? Brother Ten asked impatiently.

"This ......" The imperial doctor secretly glanced at the tenth elder brother and said, "Lord, there will be more than one month......

"What?" Ten elder brothers' loud voices can shake off two tiles on the roof.

"No...... Don't ......" The imperial doctor was shivering when he was drunk, and he saw that Brother Shi's face turned black, and he hurriedly changed his words: "There will be another half a month, another half a month!" ”

Brother Ten blushed, although he was not satisfied with this answer, but he also knew that this treatment was not a proper thing in a few words, so he couldn't help but become irritable again, and yelled at the doctor: "Damn, don't you hurry up and get out of the master, are you still waiting to ask for a reward?" ”

The imperial doctor was like being amnestied, and he was busy kowtowing to the tenth elder brother twice, and then retreated.

Ten Elder Brother thought that he would have to drink medicinal soup for half a month, and he was annoyed again, and he really wanted to slap himself with an ear scraper. It's really a "crow's mouth", a good spirit that is not a bad spirit, if you don't say anything on the day you leave the house, if you don't say anything about not seeing the doctor for ten or eight years, I'm afraid you don't need to drink this month's medicine.

As soon as he had nowhere to spread the evil fire in his stomach, he heard someone walking at the door, and he didn't want to think about it, so he picked up the agate ornament on the side and threw it over: "Get out, didn't the master say it, no one is allowed to come here, can't you find death?" ”

"Oops!" The person who came was beaten squarely, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.

When the tenth elder brother heard it, he felt that something was wrong, which one was not the ninth elder brother? This is being smashed on the shoulder, and the real hard agate hits the bone, and the ninth elder brother is holding the sore spot and frowning.

Brother Ten hurriedly stood up, trotted to the door, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiu, hey, look, I didn't know it was you, this is really wrong, do you want to call the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

Brother Jiu pursed his lips and strode in, rubbing his shoulders while baring his teeth and saying, "Don't bother, just go back to the house and rub it in a while!" It's you, so angry, are you still annoyed that Emperor Ama didn't order you to go to Rehe? As he spoke, he carefully looked at the expression of the tenth elder brother.

Brother Ten shook his head: "What's annoying?" It's not like I haven't been there! Over the years, there have not been ten times, but there have been eight times, although it is cooler than the capital, but the mosquitoes on the meadow are not in vain! In the house so leisurely, there is no errand, and I am happy to be idle! ”

"If it's not for this, why what?" Brother Nine felt strange.

Although Su said that the relationship was good, some words were related to a man's face, and the tenth elder brother refused to say everything, so he said two sentences: "It's a matter in my room, don't ask Brother Jiu!" ”

Brother Jiu smiled, thinking that he knew it.

It turned out that the inner house of the tenth elder brother was not very peaceful, although it was only one concubine and two concubines, but it was also lively. One of the concubines, Guo Luoluo, the daughter of Yuanwailang Yongbao, is a member of Concubine Yi's clan, and can be regarded as the distant cousin of Brother Jiu. was the earliest with the tenth elder brother and gave birth to the most children, but so far he has not even won the title of Shu Fujin - just because the tenth elder brother married after the marriage of the eldest brother is a noble born and is the daughter of the king of Urjin Garap County.

This Chang Fujin looks good, and he is not a good person, not only younger than Guo Luo Luo's family, but also has a neat means, and the house is pressed up and down steadily, and the ten elder brothers are obedient.

Guo Luoluo was naturally unwilling, although he didn't dare to directly contradict the Fujin Aba Borzigit clan, but because he was the niece of Concubine Yi's clan, he gave birth to Gege Elder Brother, and he also gave her some eye medicine every now and then, added a little greasy taste, or stabbed the tenth elder brother, which made him feel distressed for a few days.

Although Guo Luoluo is not an outsider, he has no brothers in the end, and Brother Jiu is too lazy to nag about these housework, so he said: "Ming'er, I will go to Rehe with the fourth child, and I have to tell you first!" ”

Tenth Elder Brother hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Ninth Brother, you say, brother, listen!" ”

Brother Jiu touched the tea lid, lowered his eyelids and said, "Fuliu and Ma Duo, how to deal with them, have you thought about the charter?" ”

"This ......" Brother Ten hesitated for a moment, and hesitated: "I think about it...... There are many people in the starling and ninth brothers, why don't you send them out of Beijing to avoid them? ”

Fu Liu, Ma Duo and the others are all the chief guards of the Ten Elder Brothers' Mansion. The more than 30 people who died due to the epidemic during the siege were all dark people and had no identity. Because the list of servants in the county king's mansion is all in the internal affairs office, and the population is fixed, and the corpses sent to the scene must be registered, so when the corpses of these dark people are sent to be cremated, they have no choice but to report the names of Fuliu and others.

The fourth elder brother once suspected that the tenth elder brother's manpower in this mansion was wrong, and he also mentioned that he wanted the internal affairs government to re-ascend the throne, but he was pushed over several times by the tenth elder brother playing haha and pushing Taiji. At present, more than two months have passed since the epidemic, and even if it drags on any longer, there will eventually be a time when someone will take stock. Therefore, Brother Jiu asked like this, after all, on the official list, this Fuliu and Ma Duo and others are already "dead people", if they are found out like this...... "Avoid?" How to avoid it? Can you avoid it for a lifetime? Besides, they are all at home in Beijing, who doesn't have any relatives and friends, even if they are loyal, they can ensure that they don't contact their relatives? In case it falls into the hands of others and bites something, we just can't eat and walk around! Brother Jiu's words were cold and firm, he glanced at Brother Ten, then retracted his gaze, and wrote lightly: "Thoughts, let them go out of Beijing." It's all solved, and you can't keep another one. ”

"Brother Jiu...... This, this, this is easy for others to say, this Fu Liu and Ma Duo have been brothers for several years! There was a hint of pleading in the voice of the tenth elder brother: "The two of them are absolutely loyal to their brothers!" This brother dares to vouch for it! ”

"The longer I follow you, the more I can't stay!" Brother Jiu frowned slightly, and persuaded him with some bitterness, "Even if they don't often appear in front of people, but after a long time, there are always three sons and two children who know them!" Since they are loyal, you should take good care of their families and give them more bereavement. Brother, if I don't say it, you should also know that in order to prevent future troubles, this is also a helpless thing! ”

The tenth elder brother hesitated, although he couldn't bear it, but he also knew that the ninth elder brother was reasonable, and nodded heavily.

Seeing that he answered, Ninth Elder Brother was slightly relieved, and suddenly remembered something again, and asked, "Tenth brother, among these people who died two months ago, what is abnormal?" During this time, I also investigated the people who died due to the epidemic, and there were not many people who died in the inner city, but there were eight families out of ten, and the ten brothers were the most! ”

Brother Ten thought for a moment and replied, "Abnormal? What anomaly? I didn't see anything wrong, these people happened to live in the same courtyard, not only them, but the three little guys who were waiting in this courtyard were all sick! Because of the spread of the epidemic, the yard was later sealed, although medicine was also sent inside, but none of them were saved! ”

Brother Jiu pondered for half an hour, and Fang shook his head: "No, this person died too cleanly!" Although the epidemic is sinister, but other people's families have taken medicine, and five out of ten people can get out of danger, how can they all die? ”

Ten Elder Brother stood up suddenly, and his eyes widened: "Ninth brother, so someone is calculating me?!" ”

Brother Jiu nodded, and his face was gloomy: "I'm afraid that it's your idea to fight!" If I'm not mistaken, then the medicinal herbs sent to your house must not be appropriate! Surrounded outside, the epidemic in the house can't be contained at this time, don't say it's you when the time comes, I'm afraid that a few younger siblings and nephews and nieces won't be able to escape! ”

"his grandma!" The tenth elder brother was so angry: "Where did this come from to be an enemy who is not in the same sky, to deal with me like this!" ”

"Who else?" Brother Nine sneered: "Left and right are just our good brothers? ”

"The third, the fourth?" Ten Elder Brother hated: "This is too vicious, where did I provoke them?" ”

"There is another ......" Brother Jiu's face was a little darker than the bottom of the pot, "and what about the crown prince?" Don't forget this! The more he thought about it, the deeper his doubts about the prince became. The third and fourth children are ordered to prevent the epidemic, if there are three long and two short on the tenth side, the first two of them will not be able to run.

"Prince? Isn't he in Rehe? Brother Ten scratched his head, a little unsure of what was going on. But to put it into detail, he and the prince really had several conflicts, and on two occasions he almost made a move, but because the eighth elder brother stopped him, he didn't really fight. But it's certain that they don't like each other.

Brother Jiu snorted, took a sip of tea, and said, "The prince is in Rehe, and the eldest grandson of the emperor is in Beijing!" Let's underestimate him, and Shun Cheng Wangfu's side, it was he who found someone to give him eye medicine! Look, it's only seventeen or eighteen, and it's such a plan! If it happens, not only will the third and fourth children not be good, but you and I are afraid that they will also arouse the suspicion of Huang Ama! ”

Brother Ten said angrily: "It doesn't matter who he is, he actually harms me like this!" I'm going to send someone to find out! Fuck, I'm grumpy! Grandmother! He scolded and stood up and was about to go out and call for someone.

Seeing the appearance of the tenth elder brother, the ninth elder brother hurriedly stopped: "Old ten, don't be reckless!" On the side of the Tai Hospital, there is no need to bother, the two Tai Doctors who have been on duty in your house, one died violently due to the epidemic, and the other fell drunk and died! ”

Brother Ten was stunned and couldn't help but hurriedly say, "What the fuck is this...... Is that the fuck all that?! ”

Brother Jiu shook his head: "Don't worry! Hmph, if you can do things like this, if you don't have the cooperation of the people in your house, I'm afraid it won't be possible. If you have that kind of kung fu, you can comb your house well, and if you can't keep it, you can catch a slave with two traitors! If you can't clean up this little cub, besides, your house must be clean. ”

Brother Ten gritted his teeth, and there was no other way but to nod his head in response.

Cao Mansion, study.

Listening to Mr. Zhuang's narration and looking at the Wei brothers kneeling on the ground, Cao Hao didn't say anything for a long time, only feeling that his brain was in chaos. Although he didn't have any good feelings in his heart, except for the thirteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother was barely counted, he didn't feel half gloating when he heard this.

Years of planning, prudence after entering Beijing, and the conscientiousness of the father and son immediately became a joke.
