On the evening after the end of the Wenqu Competition, all the princes and brothers in the capital received a secret letter from their subordinates, which mainly described two things, one is that Kangxi wants to punish the corrupt ministers of the court and purge the court. The second is that Kangxi met with Bai Xiaoyu and took him to the summer resort to inquire about the inside story of the case of embezzlement of huge money.

In the Yuqing Palace of the Forbidden City, there was a secret letter in front of the crown prince Yinren, and opposite him stood an old man about sixty years old, wearing a first-class court uniform, this person was Qi Shiwu, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

After reading the secret letter, a trace of gloom flashed on Yinren's face: "Qi Shangshu, this is a secret letter sent by Mr. Xishui, Huang Ama has seen Bai Zhiyu's daughter in Shilin Villa, and brought her to the summer resort."

What is this Hu Yingzhong eating? After looking for so long, he didn't find that the little girl of the Bai family was right under his nose, hum...... Now it's okay, the little girl of the Bai family has already seen Huang Ama, once she hands over the evidence in her hand to Huang Ama, the palace can only cry and kill the horse. ”

"Your Highness is angry, Governor Hu has done his best, who would have thought that the little girl of the Bai family would hide in Shilin Villa?" After defending Hu Yingzhong for two sentences, Qi Shiwu continued: "For now, let's think about how to remedy the aftermath."

Please Your Highness immediately order that the commander of Tuoheqi withdraw the troops that are hoarded in the territory of Zhili, and immediately send someone to meet Tian Wenshun in secret, so that he can prepare to dedicate himself, before that, His Highness must first try to avoid his worries and arrange his family and heirs properly.

At the moment, we can only do this, and the rest of the things depends on which direction the Holy God is exerting his efforts, right? According to the old minister, Bai Zhiyu should have only discovered the lack of treasury silver before, and did not know the whereabouts of the silver, in this case, our situation would not be too bad. ”

Eighth Elder Brother's Baylor Mansion, Yinyu held the secret letter handed by his subordinates, and carefully watched every word, at this time, the Ninth Elder Brother next to him Yinyu was a little impatient and complained: "I said Starling, you have read this letter more than a dozen times, just those words on it, what is there to see?"

Now that Bai Zhiyu's daughter has seen Huang Ama, it's time for the prince to sit on wax, right? Starling, after Huang Ama returns to Beijing, should we make a fuss about Hebei's affairs? In that case, even if he can't defeat the prince, it will hurt his vitality greatly. ”

After hearing this, Yinxi hurriedly waved his hand: "Ninth brother, don't be reckless, the most taboo thing for Huang Ama is cannibalism, brothers centrifuge, if you really plot against the prince behind your back, once this matter is known by Huang Ama, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the end of solitary confinement, the situation of the eldest brother, have you forgotten?" ”

Yinyu didn't hear Yinyu's words: "The eldest brother is to blame, and he acted carelessly, so he was punished by Huang Ama, as long as we act carefully and be cautious, Huang Ama may not be able to detect it, starling, this kind of opportunity is not much, once the opportunity is missed, when the prince relaxes, it will be too late to do it?" ”

"Lao Jiu, don't mention this matter again, today's words, that is, what you said to me, if it were somewhere else, what you just said has already reached Huang Ama." After scolding Yinyu, Yinyu saw that Yinyu was a little unconvinced on his face, and his face was full of resentment.

Seeing this situation, Yinxi hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Ninth brother, none of the world's affairs can escape the grasp of Huang Ama, don't you know the existence of the thirteen yamen of the Dao?" There may be people from the Thirteen Yamen around you and me, but we don't know who Lu Dao is. ”

"Thirteen yamen? Hasn't Huang Ama already abolished this institution? I heard that at the beginning of Huang Ama's succession, he removed the thirteen yamen, and then formed the internal affairs office, right? Are these rumors untrue? Yinyu looked at Yinyu in surprise.

Seeing that Yinyu was no longer angry, Yinyu said lightly: "I am now in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, and I have some understanding of its predecessor, and the world thinks that there are no thirteen yamen in the court, hehe...... Who really knows the inside story?

Ninth brother, when you speak in the future, you must beware that the wall has ears, maybe one of our subordinates or cronies is someone from the Thirteen Yamen.

Don't? Have you forgotten how Suo Etu and Mingzhu were planted in the first place? Who gave the evidence of their hidden guilt to the Emperor?

Okay, that's all for this matter, don't inquire anymore, after Huang Ama returns to Beijing, you, I, Lao Shi, and Lao Fourteen, please self-check and correct yourself together, I think Huang Ama needs this recital at this time, remember, when writing the recital, don't use Bai Zhiyu's case to make a fuss. ”

In the palace of Prince Heshuoyong, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen stood in the study and pondered, after a while, he sat down at the desk, groaned slightly, he picked up the brush on the pen stand, and wrote on a blank notebook: Purify the rule of officials, the foundation of the court, the sons and daughters ask for orders, starting with the household department, and thoroughly investigate the corruption of officials.

At this time, everyone didn't expect that the storm of Kangxi's punishment of corruption in his later years would be opened because of Liu Hua's answer sheet, but at this time, everyone had not noticed Liu Hua's existence, because the attention of these big men was all focused on the huge money corruption case.

After Liu Hua returned to Yangzhou Mansion, he did not return to his hometown, but cleaned up two houses in the Wu Mansion with Sun Shidong, bought back some daily necessities, and planned to live here temporarily.

With Sun Shidong's remaining five taels of silver, Liu Hua was wondering where to get money to decorate? Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and then Tong Zhen, the chief catcher of Yangzhou Mansion, walked in.

After seeing the residence of the two, Tong Zhen was stunned for a moment, then walked in front of Liu Hua, and glanced at Liu Hua with a complicated face: "Liu Zhukuai, I heard that you are back, and I have made a special trip to visit you, congratulations, you have become the first catcher with grade in our Qing Dynasty."

In the past two days, the brothers have gone crazy, saying that you have increased your face in this line of catching fast for us, and we heard that the Holy Lord has spoken, as long as you can do our fast work to achieve results, Long Live Lord will set up a special agency for us, not only can we receive money, but also get promoted, is this true? .

After hearing Tong Zhen's question, Liu Hua nodded, and then re-told Tong Zhen what Kangxi said in Shilin Villa.

After Liu Hua was confirmed here, Tong Zhen was a little distracted, closed his eyes and calmed down for a moment, and muttered excitedly: "This is true...... It's true...... I was finally able to straighten my back in the future. ”

After being excited for a while, Tong Zhen said to Liu Hua with a solemn expression: "Liu Zhukuai, don't worry, I, Tong Zhen and the entire Yangzhou Mansion, all support you, if you have any orders in the future, you can just say it directly, whether everyone can be recognized by the court in the future, now they are all counting on you." ”

"Chief catcher, what you say is too outward, we will be colleagues in the future, if there is anything, let's discuss with each other." After the politeness, Liu Hua didn't have anything to say, but he couldn't be cold, so he asked with concern: "By the way, I heard that there was a murder in Baiye County, how is it now?" ”

"Alas...... There's no clue at all. After answering this sentence in frustration, Tong Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Liu Zhukuai, it just so happens that you are here, or not?" Do you go to the scene to see? ”
