In this way, the sixteenth elder brother, Cao Hao, and Qi Min accompanied the guards and started from the house outside the palace.

Needless to say, Iduli did not let anyone go there because he had returned. Zhang Yushu's house was empty, which directly made people go over to see it; There is a steady old housekeeper in the Li Mansion, and seeing that it is the sixteenth elder brother who is there in person, there is no nonsense.

In the next few Guogong Mansions, the sixteenth elder brother hesitated for a moment and decided to go in order.

As soon as he knocked on the door of the first house, he saw two people flashing behind the shadow wall, and knelt down head-on: "Nephew to the sixteenth uncle!" ”

Two came out, both with yellow bands around their waists, and one was a burly man, twenty-six or seven, with a short beard; The other one looked whiter, twenty-three, four.

The sixteenth elder brother looked at the two of them familiarly, but he couldn't remember where they had seen them for a while, and he was still looking there.

Cao Hao was behind the sixteenth elder brother, and he had already recognized that the two in front of him were Tu Shou's two sons, Yuan Wei and Yuan Zhi.

He pulled the sixteenth elder brother and whispered the identities of the two brothers.

The sixteenth elder brother nodded and said, "It's you two brothers, why didn't you stay in the capital and come here?" ”

When the two brothers heard this, their faces flushed, and they squeaked and couldn't speak clearly.

The sixteenth elder brother felt strange, waved his hand, and said, "Get up, the security in the city has not been good these days, I think you have heard of it." Two or two days ago, there were bandits talking about the residence of the master at night, and they chased this area and disappeared. Ye came here today to take people to see if there is a place in this house that can hide people. As he spoke, he looked at the two brothers' expressions.

Yuan Wei and Yuan Zhi both changed their faces, revealing a little panic.

When the sixteenth elder brother saw it, he became more and more suspicious.

Yuan Wei and Yuan Zhi are the grandsons of Kali, and Kali's "mother-killing case" is inextricably linked with Cao Hao, so it is reasonable to say that they have a grudge against Cao Hao.

Cao Hao looked at the plain clothes of the two brothers and did not squeak.

Yuan Wei and Yuan Zhi got up and beckoned the sixteenth elder brother to go inside. Among them, Yuan Wei didn't speak, and Yuan Zhi said with a smile: "Sixteenth uncle, there are relatives living in the garden. There are many young people living there, which is a little inconvenient. ”

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at him and said angrily: "What's inconvenient, can the master still rob the people's daughter?" Speaking of which, I was a little embarrassed to remember that I had been courteous to Xiaoying a few days ago.

"Uncle Sixteen, that's not what you mean!" Yuan Zhi hurriedly defended, but as if there was something unspeakable, it was not clear what he was eating.

The more he is like this, the more eye-catching he becomes.

Even Qi Min was a little more vigilant, and brought a lot of sword-wielding guards to follow him into the courtyard, not to mention, but also whispered to people to watch the front and back doors.

The sixteenth elder brother was already a little impatient, frowned and said to Qi Min on the side: "Take someone over to see what's going on!" ”

Qi Min responded and led people down.

Yuan Wei and Yuan Zhi brothers' faces turned white, and there was hesitation on their faces.

The sixteenth elder brother was too lazy to look at them, and said to Cao Hao: "I remember that Fu Ruo had some friendship with E Fei in his early years, and now his heir, how does he have a relationship with you?" ”

Cao Hao replied: "Earlier, when I was in Taifu Temple, there were some official exchanges, and in the past two years, the number of meetings was limited. ”

"I see, it seems that the other side can't count on you." The sixteenth elder brother said casually.

Yuan Wei couldn't help it, stomped his feet, bowed his head and said, "Uncle Sixteen, this backyard house, the backyard house, asked the nephews to rent it out." ”

"Rent?" Although the sixteenth elder brother saw that their brother had a hidden secret, he didn't expect this, and couldn't help but be a little curious, and said, "Who did you rent it to?" Is this a lack of money, or is it how to rent out a good garden? ”

Yuan Wei's face was flushed, and he couldn't speak.

It was Yuan Zhi who explained on the side, and the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao heard the reason.

The two brothers' mother, the Duchess of Fuguo, Dong Eshi, died of depression soon after suffering in her mother's house, and Tu Shou married his wife a year later.

This has a stepmother, and there is a stepfather. The two brothers were still in the filial piety period, so they were driven to Rehe.

He also said that the two brothers were older, and there was no reason for their parents to feed them, so they broke the silver rice. The two brothers have been clothed and fed since childhood, where did they worry about their livelihood?

Before they came, the garden had been ransacked by the step-lady, and all other valuable items were gone, except for some furniture and stupid guys.

The two brothers really couldn't do anything, so they happened to see someone's rent request notice on the street, so they rented out the inner house. Two brothers, as well as family members and a few faithful servants, lived across the front yard.

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and said: "The concubine of the dignified state mansion actually ended up in a pawnhouse for a living, what is this called?" Seeing that both of you brothers are over twenty years old, why don't you ask for a seal for you? ”

Yuan Zhi said with red eyes: "Ama is timid, I'm afraid that if I ask for a seal, someone will make a fuss about our grandfather's affairs and affect him." ”

It is difficult for the Qing official to cut off family affairs, although the sixteenth elder brother is not angry, but he is not angry, but he can't say anything, so he has to frown and shake his head. [To see the latest text version, crawling book.com]

Cao Hao remembered that when Chromium Geli was the governor of Liangjiang, Tu Shou was camping in the capital under the light of his father-in-law, and he also felt that he was sometimes in transit.

The sixteenth elder brother also saw the clothes on the two of them at this time, thought for a while, and asked, "How long will it take to be filial?" ”

"By the end of May......," Yuan Zhi replied.

The sixteenth elder brother didn't speak again, and glanced at the furnishings in the hall, and there were only a few fake calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and the ordinary wood carved inkstone on the Duobao grid was not visible.

In this way, the two brothers said that eight or nine are not far from ten.

After a while, Qi Min had already brought someone back, and his expression was a little stiff. The soldiers escorted over several women dressed in red and green.

"Official, do you have something to say......

"Official, what is the matter with this slave seeker......

Qi Min was so upset that he bit his lip and said angrily in a low voice: "Shut up!" ”

The women saw that the two little grandfathers were there, and there were two young men, one of whom was still wearing an official uniform, but he was not afraid, and became more and more coquettish.

This said: "Little master, you have to be the master of the slave family." ”

The one said: "The slave's arm hurts so much, little grandfather, how can this be a good ......?"

Although Cao Hao and Qi Min were wearing three-grade supplements, they boasted that they were leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade, but they didn't take it too seriously.

Seeing this excitement, the sixteenth elder brother added a little smile to his face, and asked Yuan Zhidao: "This is the female dependent you are talking about?" Although it is particularly charming, this will (exclusively) not be older. ”

When the women saw that everyone was standing, only the sixteenth elder brother was sitting, and they knew that they were not bad.

Seeing that he was kind, the women were also bold. This said: "If the master says so, the slave family will want it."

Sad, the slave family is only double ten this year. ”

That said: "I don't know the feelings, but the older ones know that it hurts." ”

Others said: "The lord likes to be tender, and several daughters of the slave family are all cardamom years, and they are serious and talented women who stand with the master." It is said that the mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more when she looks at it, and this is true. ”

As he spoke, he didn't know how many flattering eyes came over. If it weren't for Qi Min to stop them, I was afraid that they would have pounced.

"Ha, ha, ha, interesting!" When the sixteenth elder brother saw this kung fu, his mother-in-law came out, and he couldn't help laughing.

Cao Hao looked at the one who said that he was "double ten", and wondered if he had poor eyesight, why did he look at that person who looked like "double twenty"?

Qi Min stepped forward and told the results of the backyard inventory. In addition to a few nursing homes in the inner house, there are these few people and dozens of little girls.

Hearing that these women were human beings, the sixteenth elder brother accepted the smile on his face, and his eyes became fierce.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Sixteenth uncle, they all have official uniforms, and those women are also bought by the official or the market, and there is no suspicion of selfless abduction." ”

"Really?" The sixteenth elder brother glanced at them, especially suspicious.

"My nephews don't dare to lie, most of the girls they raise are sold to big families as maids, and the procedures in the yamen are complete." Yuan Zhi was afraid that the sixteenth elder brother would misunderstand, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.

Those women have already seen that something is wrong, what kind of identity does it have to be for the two little grandfathers to call them uncles? trembling, they all stopped.

The sixteenth elder brother said to Qi Min: "Let the two of them go over and ask, see if there is a good family who has been abducted?" If you make a den of thieves at the gate of the palace, then you, the manager, should also come to an end. ”

The voice is not loud, but the weight is not light.

Where did Qi Min dare to hold on, bowed down and answered, and took someone to interrogate him in person.

The sixteenth elder brother picked up the tea cup and looked at the ups and downs of the tea stalks inside, and lost the interest in drinking tea.

He put down the teacup and said to the brothers Yuan Zhi and Yuan Wei: "The garden is your own family, whether you rent it or sell it, don't do your business." But in the end, this realm, in front of the palace eye, is extraordinary, and you are not small, you don't need to be verbose, you should know the severity,"

Yuan Wei was still a little ignorant, and he didn't know what the sixteenth elder brother meant; Yuan Zhi had already understood the taste, knelt down and said: "What Uncle Sixteen taught is that nephews dare not ignore the law and act recklessly. It's just to support my family. The nephew is okay, the nephew's brother married his sister-in-law, and there are two younger ones, and they also have to eat, but they really can't do it, so they want to collect rent. If there is a little way, the nephews will not be like this......"

Yuan Zhi didn't wait to finish speaking, he heard a "poof", and Yuan Wei also knelt down.

Although he didn't know what the sixteenth elder brother meant, this simple man also saw it, as if he wanted to punish their brother.

"Uncle Sixteen, don't do my brother's business, it's my nephew who saw someone renting a house and brought it in." Yuan Weilang said.

Yuan Zhi couldn't help but be anxious when he saw his brother making trouble, pulled down his brother's arm, and said in a low voice: "Brother, what's the mess?" ”

Yuan Wei took two steps forward, knelt in front of Yuan Zhi, raised his head and said to the sixteenth elder brother: "Sixteenth uncle, I did it, and I collected the rent." They said that there was a relative's name that was easy to talk to, and a girl was stuffed over, and I also accepted it. If you don't do my brother's business, it's all my master. If I break that law, I will be guilty of it.

The younger brother has not yet married, so don't wronged him. ”

"Brother......" Seeing that Ping Sumune's brother said these words in one breath, Yuan Zhi couldn't cry or laugh, and said in a low voice: "Don't say it...... Isn't this a joke between Uncle Sixteen and Cao? As he spoke, he cautiously raised his head and looked at the expressions of the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao.

The sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao did not laugh.

The room fell silent all of a sudden, and even Yuan Zhi didn't dare to defend himself anymore.

After a while, Qi Min returned.

After inquiry, those women were either sold by the government, or they were not bought in the market, and the people in front of them were not suspected of abduction.

The sixteenth elder brother's face looked better, glanced at the women, and said, "How much is the rent?" ”

The women were frightened by this gesture, and for a while, no one dared to speak.

"Huh?" When the sixteenth elder brother saw this, his brows couldn't help frowning again.

The one who was about to be the (exclusive) sixteenth elder brother-in-law was bold, stretched out a slap, and said, "Five...... Fifty taels ......"

"Fifty taels of January...... "Sixteenth elder brother listened, raised his eyebrows, and said: "It's cheap, it's cheap......"

The woman's face froze, and she whispered, "It's three years and fifty taels......"

"What? Fifty taels in three years? With a little surprise, the sixteenth elder brother pointed to the Yuanwei brothers kneeling on the ground: "This big garden, only fifty taels in three years, you, you ......."

The sixteenth elder brother stood up and said to the women: "Even if it is an ordinary people's house, it is not so cheap to rent. Okay, you're going to be in the market for a few more years to fool your nephews, aren't you? Speaking of this, Qi Min said: "It's all for the master, let's hit dozens of boards first, and let these women open their eyes." The masters of this clan, are they able to fool around? ”

Qi Min answered, and he was going to take someone.

The women were already bluffing, and begged for mercy: "The slave family is wrong, not because they are fooled, but because of the low rent and low price in Rehe. ”

The sixteenth elder brother glared at him and said, "You still dare to talk back?" The master said that he was fooled, and he was fooled. With such a big house, you can't rent it for fifty taels of silver a year, let alone fifty taels for three years, it seems that this board will have to be doubled. As he spoke, he urged Qi Min to take people.

There was a clever one, who had already heard the voice of the sixteenth elder brother, and said busily: "It's the slaves who are not, they have depressed the house price, and the master is right, such a house, fifty taels a year is not a loss." No, no, it's six ...... a year. Seventy taels before it is ......" In the end, there was already a scream, and it turned out that two soldiers had already taken their arms.

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, he smiled a little on his face, nodded, and motioned for Qi Min to let him go.

He looked outside and said to Cao Hao: "Let's go, after delaying for so long, the rest of the family will have to hurry up." So saying, he came out with the people.

Yuan Wei knelt on the ground, still a little confused; Yuan Zhi looked at the back of the sixteenth elder brother and muttered, "Sixteenth uncle......"

Coming out of Tu Shou's house, the sixteenth elder brother glanced at Cao Hao and said, "Fu Ruo, how long will you do your errand here?" ”

"It's done in mid-April, but look at the day, the holy car will also arrive, if it's okay, I'm still here." Cao Hao thought about Fang Cai's Yuanwei brother and said: "

Does the Sixteenth Master want to help the two of them find an errand? ”

The sixteenth elder brother nodded and said, "Although their brothers were a little confused a few years ago, they didn't do anything evil. Now this is really miserable. ”

"Most of the errands here are for the livelihood of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The two brothers rushed in, and there might not be any good fruit to eat. Although it is said that the little grandfather, there is also the saying that the slave bully the master. Cao Hao thought about it for a while, and said: "Treat the symptoms but not the root cause, or say hello from the Zongren Mansion, so that the two brothers can not be restricted, and they will be given a title, and their livelihood will be relied on." ”

"Zongren's Mansion?" The sixteenth elder brother knocked on his forehead and said, "Let's see if Yaerjianga is (exclusive) with Hu this year!" If he comes, talk to him. ”

While talking, I arrived at the garden of Efei's house,

I heard that the sixteenth elder brother was here in person, and the housekeeper here greeted him. At first glance, Cao Hao was an acquaintance, and he was the chief butler of the Guogong Mansion in the capital earlier.

He also recognized Cao Hao, and after greeting the sixteenth elder brother, he gave Cao Hao a salute.

Cao Hao hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him and asked, "How did the big housekeeper get to Rehe?" ”

The big housekeeper showed a little embarrassment on his face, and said in a low voice: "Since the funeral of Grandpa Daguo, the little one has come here. Speaking of this, he diverged from the conversation: "I heard that Cao Ye arrived in Rehe, and the little one wanted to go over to say goodbye, but he was afraid that Cao Ye would be busy with official business. I don't know that today, Cao Ye and the Sixteenth Master are ......"

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, in a mansion, there is also some of this meaning.

Cao Hao saw that he didn't want to mention the old things, so he didn't mention it, explaining his intention.

The chief housekeeper didn't say anything, and directly called the two of them to search the yards with the soldiers.

The sixteenth elder brother saw that he was Cao Hao's acquaintance, and he spoke much more politely.

There is nothing abnormal here, the sixteenth elder brother explained two sentences, nothing more than every time he checks the garden, he saves himself from getting mixed into the night or something, if there is any abnormality, report to the yamen of the internal affairs office or the yamen of the head of the palace.

When I arrived at the other courtyard of Aling's family, it was not as smooth as the previous two.

Although the mansion of the prince here is a lord, not a clan title, but it is no less noble than those two families.

This is not only the uncle's family of the tenth elder brother, but also the maiden family of Empress Xiaozhao.

The descendants of the five founding ministers, when they are the descendants of the dynasty, the housekeepers are also much tougher than the previous two.

"Sixteenth master, aren't you embarrassing the little one? Our lord is now on an errand in front of the emperor, and we still don't know the rules? Even if there are bandits in the vicinity, can they still enter our yard? "The steward was playing Tai Chi, and he didn't mean to let people search for it at all.

The sixteenth elder brother took care of the tenth elder brother's face, and he was still a little polite, but when he saw this person in charge, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and sneered: "What nonsense, is it impossible to fart when the emotional master speaks?" ”

The person in charge saw that the sixteenth elder brother was annoyed, and he didn't dare to be too tough, so he leaned over and said: "It's not that the slaves don't know anything, it's just that there are more than 60 nursing homes here, and they patrol every day, and there will be no mistakes, please rest assured that the sixteenth master." As he spoke, he asked someone to carry a tray over, covered with red cloth, and bowed down and said, "I know that the sixteenth master is an errand, this is the filial piety of the slaves." The Sixteenth Master has no shortage of these, and he keeps them for reward. ”

As he spoke, he had (exclusively) lifted a corner of the red cloth, revealing the yellow and clear golden cake inside. While lifting, he looked at the sixteenth elder brother with a little pride in his eyes.

Cao Hao watched from the side and knew that this guy was unlucky.

Over the years, outsiders have regarded the sixteenth elder brother as an elder brother with no identity, but they have forgotten that there is no identity anymore, and the prince is still the prince.

It's all arrogant in his bones, and no one can offend.

Sure enough, the sixteenth elder brother laughed angrily, reached out and lifted the red cloth, grabbed two golden cakes, and said, "How much gold is this?" It's so dazzling that my eyes are spent! ”

The person in charge didn't notice anything wrong, and said with a smile: "It's only three hundred taels, it's not a respect, and I ask the sixteenth master to smile." ”

The sixteenth elder brother had already sat down, glanced at the golden cake in his hand, slowly put away the smile on his face, and said to Qi Min on the side: "What are you still doing?" Do you want to grind until dark? ”

Qi Min secretly complained in his heart, but he also saw that the sixteenth elder brother had a bad tone and didn't dare to do much, so he answered and led people inside.

The steward looked stunned, and when he woke up, Qi Min and the others had already brought people in.

"Sixteenth master, you are ......" The steward was anxious and white-faced, and the movement was a little big.

"Presumptuous! What doesn't open your eyes, in front of the master, where is the place for you to speak? Do you die? The one who opened his mouth to scold him was Zhao Feng, who was following the sixteenth elder brother.

Zhao Feng's little face tightened, and he glared at the steward.

The steward was taken aback, and then remembered that even if the other party was an elder brother with no real power, it was just a matter of one sentence to want his little life.

The sixteenth elder brother's expression calmed down, and he said to Zhao Feng: "What are you yelling, what are you yelling about?" Since it is the kindness of this housekeeper, then take it, and it will not be installed soon. It's rare to see so much gold, and it's good to get Huang Ama to show off. ”

When the steward heard this, his face turned pale, and he was already a little unsteady on his feet.

Courtiers are not allowed to marry the prince privately, this is a law. If the sixteenth elder brother really goes to the palace to complain, let alone him, even if it is Ah Ling, he can't eat and walk around.

The sixteenth elder brother was too lazy to bother with him, and swept the decorations in the hall boredly.

It's really magnificent, compared with Yuanwei and Yuanzhi brothers, it's really a world of difference.

Cao Hao was a little worried, after all, Alinga is now the minister of the guard, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and it is not good to offend too much.

As he was pondering, he heard a noise from the inner courtyard, accompanied by the sound of soldiers.

Everyone in the room changed their faces, and Wei Hei had already stepped forward, restrained the steward, and asked, "Who lives in the garden?" ”

The steward looked at the bright steel knife, his teeth chattered, and he trembled: "No...... No one else...... Nursing Home ...... It's the nursing home......"

Cao Hao was worried about the safety of the (exclusive) sixteenth elder brother, so he asked Zhao Feng to go out and call people outside the hospital in.

One time later, the soldiers who were waiting outside the house also entered the courtyard.

The sixteenth elder brother sent two people in to visit, and when he looked at the steward's gaze, he felt a little more chilly.

After a while, the sound of the fight gradually stopped, and Qi Min came back with his subordinates, his face was already a little more excited, and said, "Sixteenth Master, Lord Cao, I have arrested a few murderers." I don't know if it's the ...... who disturbed the Sixteenth Master a few days ago."

The soldiers behind him dragged two people in.

The two men were dressed in the skin color of the nursery, covered in blood, and they had fainted after being stabbed a few times on their bodies......
