Chapter 11: The Dragon

However, it was said that the eighth elder brother Yinxi was ordered to lead a group of people to the main hall of the Criminal Department in Xidan Ropesmith Hutong to take over the affairs of the Criminal Department. On the same day, the two prisons in the north and south of the Criminal Department were sealed, and the prison hall of the Criminal Department was sealed in one file. The officials of the Criminal Department, except for the emperor who personally protected Shangshu Wang Shizhen, asked him to go back to the Hanlin Academy to still write his poems, and dozens of other waiters, priests, prisons, and directors were all hung up, waiting for the review to be released.

The case of "slaughtering the white duck" caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, and became the talk of the streets and alleys of Beijing and the topic of conversation after tea and dinner. Huangye Village in the western suburbs is also famous for this, and the villain Ding Qiaosheng, who is over the age of six, is even more known to everyone. There is a good person, and even went to Huangye Village to learn more about how the Ding bully raped and killed a girl in the same village, and how he took advantage of the danger of others to buy a "white duck" and a poor farmer Yang Dazhuang; How to use the silver to get through the prison hall, the prison, and the jailer of the Criminal Department, stuff the "white duck" into it, and replace the villain Ding with a perfunctory storytelling story in a teahouse restaurant, and write a script to stage in the theater. Later, there were literati who interpreted it into legendary novels and printed them, which became popular among the people.

The eighth master Yinxi, under such a huge pressure of folk "tongues", coupled with his father's harsh reprimands, came to stab the hornet's nest of the Criminal Department. The prince ran errands independently, this was the first time, and his father was deliberately testing his ability. After doing so, he has every hope of replacing the second elder brother Yinren as the crown prince and inheriting the unification in the future. Ever since he heard that the crown prince had made a mess of the household, the treasury was empty, and the emperor had lost his temper, he had the confidence to covet the dragon seat. Then he heard that Huang Ama sent the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang to "take over" the household department, and he was a little nervous. Isn't this obviously a two-way "elder brother" effect? If his errand is smashed, Yinzhen may replace him, and he Yinzhen will never turn over, and even bring about death. Among the princes, although he has won the reputation of "Virtuous King", Mingli never offends anyone, and he is also in harmony with Yinzhen on the surface. But what he hates and wants to kill the most in his heart is his half-brother Yinzhen, as for Yinxiang, he is just Yinzhen's thug, there is nothing to be afraid of. He knew that Yinzhen hated him the most, and the future court would be the one who was in the world, and the two of them would see who would kill the deer.

With such a serious background, after Yinxi took over the affairs of the Criminal Department, he didn't dare to be careless.

On this day, Yinxi took a sedan chair early to the main hall of the Ropesmith Hutong Criminal Department. The Yulin Army, which commanded the Yamen faction of the infantry army, had taken over the defense of the criminal department, and there were three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry along the wall, which was very strict and clean. As soon as he got off the sedan chair in front of the door, Yin Yu walked out, and Long Keduo came up to call Qian'er and said:

"Eighth Master, the new infantry commander Long Keduo has come to answer the order!"

"Hmm, Long Keduo," Corporal Yin Lixian took Long Keduo's arm and said as he walked forward, "You are the Tong family, and Prime Minister Tong Guowei often mentions you in front of me." ”

"The slave is Tong Xiang's nephew."

"Ah, okay, Tong Guowei is the uncle of the country, and we are all our own family."

"Eighth Master," Long Keduo took his arm away with self-respect, and replied to a thousand children, "In accordance with your order, officials above the rank of chief have gathered in the second hall, waiting for your instructions, and are not allowed to have personal dealings." Although the guards here belong to the Admiral of the Nine Gates, Zhao Junmen has been assigned to the slaves to control them. There was something going on outside, and the eighth master was only surprised. ”

"Okay, you just stay outside, and you can report anything to me directly." With that, he stepped up the steps, and Goshha, who was guarding on both sides, shouted:

"Lord Babel is here!"

The hall was suddenly silent, and the atmosphere froze. Dressed in the Tuanlongjiang Yahai robe, Yinxi, who was wearing a crown of Dongzhu, walked in front, and sixteen guards with knives and more than 30 eunuchs walked up to the stage in a majestic manner. The officials of the Criminal Department, who were full of stunned chickens, got up with a "sigh", the horseshoe sleeves slapped loudly, and the Manchurian Shangshu Santerre and the Han squire Tang Chengcheng took a step forward and kowtowed:

"The guilty minister bows to welcome Lord Qincha, respectfully pleases St. Ann, please Ba Ye An!"

"St. Ann!" Yinxi nodded in agreement, and put on a smiling face, "Two adults, please get up, everyone get up." After saying that, he sat in the middle, and while scanning the trembling members below, he said in a gentle voice: "This time, my master was ordered to investigate the prison, set up a criminal sect for the imperial court, and use the law to restrain the wrongdoers, punish the evil and promote the good, and appease the people. However, in front of the emperor's eyes, there was such a tragic thing as 'slaughtering the white duck', which was a great shame for the Criminal Department. After days of picketing, there were 53 prisoners to be executed in the South Prison alone, and eight of them were found to be not in the right body - appalling! Therefore, Ben Baylor had to be impeached truthfully! The princes ate the court and served Lu, and were entrusted by the emperor, so they asked themselves, are they worthy of the grace of the Qing Dynasty and the benevolence of the emperor who loves the people like a son? ”

As he spoke, Yinxi suddenly turned his face, and with a few shocking sounds, he shouted:

"Roncodo listens!"

At the door of the signing room of the Criminal Department, Long Keduo, who was urging his own soldiers to carry the prison document cage, trotted over when he heard the sound. looked at the "Eight Buddhas" who were still laughing at Maitreya just now, and as soon as he turned his face, he became a murderous cold-faced King Kong. After seeing the battlefield fighting, Long Keduo was naturally calm, and stood with his hands down and said:

"The lower official is here, what is the constitutional decree of the eighth master?"

"Go to Santerre, Tang Cheng wears a flower feather!"

"Piercing!"

Santerre's face was already pale, and Tang Chengcheng acted as if nothing had happened, sneering and handing himself the top Dai and Long Kedo.

This Tang Chengcheng dared to look at the "majesty of the eight masters", which makes sense: because he is a native of Taoyuan, he knows very well that the so-called "white ducks" who died in the prison of the Criminal Department, which one of them was not stuffed in and pulled out through the relationship between the ministers of the court and the princes and relatives? Mo said that he Tang Chengcheng couldn't stand it, and the Manchurian Shangshu Santerre couldn't stand it. The one who can top one is a Han scholar Wang Shizhen, all relying on a personal relationship with the emperor in poetry and songs. Later, I didn't go to him at all, and I did it without him. Now, your eighth master has been ordered to poke this basket, can you poke it open? It's a disaster to stab it, it's a disaster if you can't stab it, you can't pay the errand, and the emperor still doesn't know how to send you down? What kind of majesty are you playing!

Tang Chengcheng, who took off the top, was right, he was unofficial and light, standing aside to watch how this scene went on and how it ended.

The eighth master Yinyu knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, bluffing the officials of the whole hall like a chilling cicada, took off his supplementary clothes, and was not allowed to return to the mansion, and was confined to the ministry. The eighth master Yinxu thought that he had a plan and won the victory. As everyone knows, he just arrived at the signing room and sat down, and before he had time to process and review the manuscript, the ninth elder brother Yinyu, the fourteenth elder brother Yinyu and the tenth elder brother Yinyu all came to Yinyu one after another to find Yinxi, a difficult brother.

Jiubeizi Yinyu was full of red light, and as soon as he entered the signing room, he reprimanded his subordinates, sat down with his robe, and said coldly to the eighth elder brother Yinyu:

"Starling, you destroyed your home, do you want me to rescue you?"

Yinyu has always been very deep in the city, and he is not smiling, and he was surprised when he said one sentence, like falling into a fog for five miles.

"What do you mean by that?" He added dry lips, looked at this ninth brother who was not yin and yang, and asked, "I am ordered to run an errand, how can I call self-destruction of the family?" ”

"I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." Yin Yu smiled gloomily and said, "Among the more than thirty princes and elder brothers, you are the most popular, so you are known as the 'Eight Sages King'." Now you're going to stab the hornet's nest of prisons, do you know who those 'white ducks' are stuffed into? To put it bluntly, there are few brothers who haven't been embarrassed. If you stab it open, won't your people be ruined? Also the Eight Sages King, fart! Why should you ......?"

"I don't believe it. Our brother didn't kill people and set fires, why did he get involved in unconscionable things like 'White Duck'? ”

"For money, for profit, people trust people to ......"

"I still don't believe it."

"Fourteenth brother, come in!" Yinyu shouted outside the door and walked away by himself. saw Yinyu leading an old man in his fifties in. Yinyu recognized it as Ren Bo'an at a glance, and couldn't help but be taken aback, but calmly arched his hand to Yinyu and said, "Have you returned to Beijing?" What is the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu? ”

The fourteenth elder brother Yinyu, who has just turned twenty, looks like a tiger, is as chivalrous and bold as the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, and is a general. He was originally the half-brother of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, but he mixed up with the eighth master.

"It's been a long time, starling, I haven't seen you for three days, like every other autumn." Yinyu teased Erlang and said, "Starling has grown his courage, and he has made this yamen of the criminal department jump, and the water is in a hurry." The prison officers and pawns who are usually fierce and vicious have all become lost dogs, happy, happy! He laughed.

Yinyu didn't pay attention to Yinyu anymore, but turned his face to Ren Bo'an and said:

"Ren Bo'an, you are the ninth master's person, what are you doing in the Criminal Department looking for me? I heard that the sixth, seventh, and fifteenth masters paid off their debts, and they were all the money you advanced, where did you get so much silver? ”

Ren Bo'an was dissatisfied when he saw that the eighth master suddenly saw him like this, but he said with a honey smile on his face:

Cheng Baye asked. The small ones do business, where can they get so much money to honor the gentlemen? In fact, it's just a rain with the dragon, and it's all up to the support of the eighth master and all the masters. It was said that the eighth master wanted to be small, please Baiyunguan Zhang Banxian to look at the appearance, and the reward of 10,000 taels of silver would all go to the small one. Besides, brothers, some of them are mining in Yunnan, some are collecting gold mining taxes in the Northeast, and some are digging ginseng in the Xing'an Mountains, all of which are maintained by the villain's minions, and naturally they all have inputs......"

Ren Bo'an's seemingly ordinary words made Yinxi's head swell and his heart was cold. The opening of copper mines, the collection of gold taxes, and the digging of ginseng are all ulterior privacy. It is not only against the law of the country, but also against the law of the ancestors. In particular, Zhang Banxian was asked to see the appearance of the "Son of Heaven" for himself, saying that "the king added white", if it leaked out, let his father know, he would definitely be punished for the crime of rebellion.

"Nature, nature." Yinxi coped with Ren Bo'an's words. He finally understood Lao Jiu's intention of calling him sick and Lao Fourteen bringing Ren Bo'an. This is really "the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind", he has to admire these brothers who are close to him on weekdays, but the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, one is stronger than the other.

"Eighth master," Ren Bo'an said with a stiff waist, hiding bones in his gluten and saying, "The little one is a person who understands, and the law is not passed on to the six ears, let alone the royal family." This time, I just want to ask for a favor from the people in the Criminal Department, why should you care about them? Man dies for money, birds die for food, which one is not for money? ”

This is obviously coercion, and Yin Yu suddenly gave birth to a thought: This person knows too much, why not take advantage of the power in his hand to behead him in front of the steps? was turning to kill thoughts, and the tenth brother Yinyi came to me with a shouting outside, and the person was still outside, and he bumped in with a thick throat: "Starling, I went to Shuntian Mansion, there is no Long Keduo over there, Shuntianfu is a death row prisoner, and there are three 'white ducks' among ten people, all of whom are stuffed in by Ren Bo'an's old dog's money - I have to think not to let the ninth brother be involved, Ren Bo'an's bastard can't stay." ”

Yin Yi and I rushed in, and I was bumping into Ren Bo'an, Ren Bo'an smiled without fear: "Tenth Master, whether it is to kill or kill, Ren Bo'an is waiting here." However, there is still some use in not chopping or killing. ”

"What's the use of leaving you!" The Tenth Master was angry, and shouted angrily, "Kneel!" Then he slapped him in the face, causing Ren Boan to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

Ren Bo soothed the cheek printed with the "five-clawed dragon", stiffened his neck and repeated the old trick and said:

"Tenth master, you forgot to go early, you want the head of the house to find me to match the prince with **? When this matter reaches the emperor, I am afraid that it will be bad for you. ”

"I'm going to slaughter you now!" I drew my saber and raised it high. was stopped by the eighth master and the fourteenth master together.

"The matter of matching **, all the small subordinates know." Ren Bo'an said with a smooth mouth, "Leaving Ren Bo'an, you can still control their mouths, so there is a reason why the tenth master will not kill if he doesn't kill." ”

At this time, Yinzhen admired the killer tricks behind the back of the ninth and fourteenth brothers, and at this point he fully understood that Ren Boan couldn't move, and the little braids of the brothers were all in his hands. Ben Gege smiled, snatched my sword and inserted it into the scabbard, and said to Ren Bo'an:

"Lao Ren, although you come from a humble background, you are not shocked by changes, but you also have Jing Ke's demeanor. Lao Ten is just trying your guts, don't take it to heart. In the dignified criminal department's signing room, how can there be a sword to kill? This place is not suitable for a long time, so you can go with confidence! As for interceding for the officials of the Criminal Department, let us discuss it again. ”

As soon as Ren Bo'an left, I was still losing my temper, and Yinyu smiled and said, "Brother Ten, don't misunderstand Brother Jiu's hard work." Now the fourth and thirteenth are in the household department to return the treasury silver, which has made a mess. Brother Jiu and I watched coldly, according to Brother Starling's method, we might lose even worse than them. Just imagine, these things in prison involve our brothers and ministers of the court, and if they are provoked, they will be stung by bees, who can withstand it? That's why Brother Jiu asked me to find Ren Boan to report to the police. ”

Yin Yu thought about it, and there was some truth in it, because he sighed:

"Lao Jiu's wisdom can be described as profound. Who doesn't know the money that Ren Bo'an gave to his brothers in an emergency, including the receipt of 'slaughtering white ducks'. But the state officials are so bad that as the emperor's elder brother, I am heartbroken. Now that the government and the opposition are paying attention, China and foreign countries are concerned, if I don't do a few, how can I give an account to the emperor? Tenth brother, you said yes! ”

Yinyi grinned and said, "Yes, do a few of his inconsequential things, the thunder is loud, the ground is soaked, the ship is passable, and the rudder is also passable." ”

"That's all."

The brother laughed and dispersed.

These days, Zhang Tingyu doesn't think about tea and dinner, and he can't sleep at night, and he has been paying attention to the progress of the two groups of imperial elder brothers in the Criminal Department and the Household Department. Since Tang Chengcheng, who took off his crown and was demoted to the Ministry of Officials as the director, quietly came to his house to talk all night, he finally had a thorough understanding of the root cause of the Criminal Department. Ren Bo'an is a helpless businessman, and he is inextricably linked with the eighth, ninth, tenth, fourteenth, fifteenth elder brother, and even the prince. He also wanted to hand over the excerpt to the emperor and pick out the biggest tumor of corruption in the administration of officials, but he could throw a mouse trap and involve so many princes, what could the emperor do if he took it? The fold was written and torn, torn and written, and sighed in the study in the middle of the night, helpless!

He was glad that his father-in-law had left this land of right and wrong, but the rich and powerful villains escaped justice, and the poor and helpless "white duck" gave his life in vain. He finally recognized the most popular so-called "Eight Sage Kings", but he pretended to be a confusing "smiling tiger" in the *** competition with the crown prince and other brothers to inherit the "great unification". Relying on such people to purge the criminal department is tantamount to conspiring with a tiger. Sure enough, within two months, the eighth elder brother Yinyu made an excerpt, and said unashamedly that after investigation, the prison of the Criminal Department confirmed that there were two "white ducks" who had been bought with a lot of money, and the real criminals had been arrested and brought to justice, and the relevant personnel were dismissed and investigated 36 people, and the former director of the prison department and the prison were detained, and they were submitted to the Holy Tribunal for execution. Ren Bo'an did not move, and several other "white ducks" were still locked in prison, just because the holy oracle stopped the autumn decision, and they could live for one more year.

How sad! Zhang Tingyu beat his chest in his back garden and sighed to the sky. He set his eyes on the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, and it turned out that he was very disgusted with Yinzhen's loneliness and ruthlessness, and he also looked down on him. It is believed that once the throne falls into the hands of this duke, the royal road will cease to exist, and the common people may be in deep trouble. However, what the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and Yinxiang did in the household department gradually changed his opinion.

After being busy for more than ten days, Yinxiang knew everything about the affairs of the household department, so he played the prince of Ming. Please ask the prince, Yinzhen and the minister of the upper study to give lectures.

On that day, Zhang Tingyu and Tong Guowei, the two ministers of the study, were invited to go to cheer for the prince and the fourth master. Prince Yinren and his entourage came to the household department, and did not let the doorman report, and walked along the Yimen Shiyong Road. The black crows and crows in the household hall were crowded with people in the morning, and the thirteenth master Yinxiang was talking. The prince was always easy-going and friendly, and motioned for everyone to stand at the back of the crowd and not interrupt the old thirteen. Zhang Tingyu squeezed forward slightly so that he could hear Yinxiang's words clearly.

"All the princes sitting here are all scholars, and the old thirteen Luban got an axe in front of the door. I recognize one rule: killing people to pay for their lives, and repaying debts is a common principle through the ages. The Qing Dynasty, after nearly a hundred years of hard work by the emperors of the past dynasties and the current saints, there is today's prosperity and prosperity. However, now a number of termites and borers have appeared. There is a saying--" He patted his brain, leaned over and asked the person in front of him, "Ah, yes, yes, it's called 'Thousands of miles of golden embankment, collapsed in the nest of ants'!" The treasury of the household department, which is the lifeblood of the country, has now been hollowed out by a group of ants. Because of this, the emperor was unpleasant to eat and couldn't sleep at night. Yinxiang and the fourth elder brother were ordered to recover the treasury silver, it is the destiny of heaven, and it is indispensable to have some bumps and bumps for the adults......"

Zhang Tingyu only heard that the Thirteenth Master was a rude and reckless man, but he didn't expect that he spoke in an orderly and loud manner.

"The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and if you want to recover the treasury silver, you should pay it back from the household first." Yinxiang took a sip of tea, unbuttoned his clothes, his eyes were like torches, and he looked at everyone, "People say that the household is Qingshui Yamen, but it turns out that they are all a nest of 'house mice'." Except for Wang Hongxu, who was a member of the staff, there was not a single prince sitting who did not scoop a scoop from the treasury and embezzle a share. I have a booklet here, Zhu Tianbao, you read it in public! ”

After speaking, he threw the booklet to Zhu Tianbao, a white-faced scholar in the audience, and he walked off the stage to walk around the crowd to see the reaction of these "house mice". As he walked, Yinxiang found Zhang Tingyu and immediately stepped forward to greet politely:

"Oh, Zhang Xiang, you're here?"

Zhang Tingyu sighed lightly and motioned for the prince and the others to be behind. The old thirteen walked towards the prince and his party. Zhang Tingyu was still concentrating and listened to Zhu Tianbao's list of debts for members of the household department:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Wu Jiamo, a waiter, owes 14,000 taels of silver; Gou went to Fan, a foreigner, and owed four thousand taels of silver; You Mingtang, a foreigner, owes eighteen thousand taels of silver; Yin Shuizhong, the principal, owes 8,500 taels of silver. The above-mentioned household officials owe a total of 729,458 taels of silver to the treasury ......"

The hall was as silent as a dead man's mourning, and everyone was pale and dumbfounded. Suddenly, the old thirteen shouted in the back:

"The crown prince, Zhang Chenxiang, Tong Chenxiang, and the fourth master have arrived-"

The audience immediately stood up in unison, and kowtowed:

"Chitose Prince! Chichitose ......"

Zhang Tingyu and Tong Guowei hugged the prince Yinren left and right, and Yinzhen and Yinxiang followed behind and walked to the front desk.

"That's it, let's all sit down!" Yinren smiled with a smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "Thirteenth brother, you only have to do your business, I and the two ministers came over to take a look, and it can be regarded as a supervisor!" Everyoneβ€”" he looked downward, "the borrowed treasury must be repaid, the treasury is empty, what will the imperial court do to repair the river and control the floods!" Besides, the border contempt wants to make another trouble, what to use to fight! There are no eggs under the nest, and something is going to happen to the country, where will the princes go to take a dip? Where will you put the common people? Isn't that the truth? ”

The prince's words softened the atmosphere, and the hall was buzzing with flies and whispering. Yinxiang slammed the table and said loudly:

"How? Everybody has to pay it back. Lao Wu, Liang Qingbiao Shangshu was ordered to be a servant, and Shi Shilun, the new Shangshu, has not yet arrived, you are the biggest official, let's talk about it, when will your more than 10,000 taels of silver be paid off? ”

Wu Jiamo is an old bureaucrat, according to the routine Liang Qingbiao's withdrawal, it is his turn to be a scholar, he has already nested a belly of fire, and the urn said angrily:

"The silver naturally has to be returned, the thirteenth master has a grace period of a few days, and the old man Rong found a broken nunnery to settle the old and young, and distributed hundreds of family members......"

"Wu Jiamo, what are you complaining about!" The fourth master, Yinzhen, who was sitting next to Zhang Tingyu, knew that if he couldn't suppress this old bureaucrat, he would be in the soup if he was cleared, so he stood up with a sigh and sneered, "The thirteenth master asked you to take the lead and fulfill your dignity, where will you go bankrupt?" How many properties do you think the fourth master doesn't know? Sankesong Mansion, 20,000 silver for sale? ”

Wu Jiamo relied on the old and sold the old, and arched his hand and said:

"Fourth master, being an official in the court is not an official, and it is not surprising that there are a few houses. In this way, the old man searched all over the twenty-four histories, and he never saw the previous dynasty, which is still called 'becoming a whole face'? ”

"If you don't repay your debts, it's called 'becoming a whole face'?" Yinzhen stared at this old man coldly, determined to take him under the knife and pull out the nails, "The truth has been explained by the old thirteen, and now I only ask you - when will it be back?" ”

"I don't have any money!"

"Good!" Yinzhen's face changed color and shouted, "Someone! ”

"Piercing!" Several palace guards waiting outside the door, listening to the call of the fourth master, immediately flashed out four people, and crossed their hands to obey the order.

"Wu Jiamo said that his family had no money and could not repay the debt." Yinzhen said with a smile, "I've always been mean, and I don't believe it." You go to Shuntian Mansion and call a group of people to check on Wu's house, leave him a house, and submit the rest of the books to the household department for sale-isn't there money to pay off the debt? ”

"Piercing!"

"Got it?"

"Understood."

Yinzhen waved his hand:

"Go ahead!"

As soon as the group left, the lobby was as quiet as a filial piety hall, and the debtors were all like ashes, and Wu Jiamo sat there paralyzed, not daring to come nonsense again. Yinzhen glanced at everyone and asked murderously:

"Who else says they can't afford it? I have prepared dozens of groups of people here, and the Shuntian Mansion has also said hello - please speak! ”

The silence makes people's hanging hearts jump, as if they are about to faint. Someone finally self-reported a debt repayment plan:

"I only have four thousand taels of silver, and I will pay it back first; The rest of the plate was paid off by the pawnshop. ”

"My 10,000 taels will be paid off next month."

"I'm still ......"

"I sold a farm and returned it."

"...... Return"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Those who should repay their debts have spoken in all likelihood. Zhang Tingyu is admiring the fourth elder brother Yinzhen's work, and he is really resolute, and the first battle is good. As everyone knows, Yinzhen was about to stop in moderation and say a few words of comfort, but unexpectedly, he made a trip to bite the gold halfway - You Mingtang, a foreigner, jumped out, pulled out a silver ticket from his boots like a trick, and said authentically:

"Fourth master, this is 18,000 taels of silver tickets, I didn't spend a penny I borrowed, now it's all back to Zhao."

Yinzhen thought that he would cash in on the spot and was about to open his mouth to commend him, but Prince Yinren asked first: "I don't understand, You Mingtang, you can't spend the money, why did you need to borrow it in the first place?" ”

"Back to the words of the prince: This is called borrowing for nothing, if you don't borrow for nothing, who won't borrow for nothing? Now that I have paid it back, I have to make it clear that the tenth master himself borrowed 200,000 treasury silver, but he advanced money for Wang Hongxu, this clean-up debt, whether it is true or false, ask the prince for enlightenment! ”

A fire was thrown out of the oil pan, and it exploded. The officials talked a lot, and burned the fire to the princes, and some people offered that the other two elder brothers also borrowed silver. Yinxiang was upset when he heard it on the side, and knocked on the table with his hand and shouted:

"Who said it was fake? I'm not afraid of the thirteenth day, the emperor's elder brother who has debts, and the household officials are the same as clean up! ”

Wang Hongxu is the master of the tenth master's family, I thought that the tenth master was cleared, and he was debt-free and light. Unexpectedly, he was bitten out by You Mingtang's mad dog, which made the ten elder brothers not human inside and out. He held a fire in his belly and said to Yinren:

"The minister wants to advise the prince in a copy, I don't know if it's said here, or-"

"You say," Yinren was unprepared, "I don't want to avoid what people say. ”

"That's good. When will the 420,000 silver taels you borrowed be returned! ”

"I've borrowed the treasury silver?" Yinren was stunned for a while, and couldn't think of it at all, and in front of everyone, he whispered, "When did I borrow it...... Chen Jiayou, is there such a thing? ”

"This matter was not handled by Lord Chen," Wang Hongxu laughed wickedly, "It was the chief manager of Ah Gui who borrowed it with the edict of Yuqing Palace, and the prince thought about it again, have you ever bought a courtyard, a garden or something?" ”

Yinren suddenly realized that he had borrowed 420,000 taels of silver to buy Tongzhou Garden, but he didn't expect to be poked out by the old dog raised by the tenth brother and make a fool of himself in public. Clean up the household, when a cannon actually hit himself on the head. He stiffened his neck and said:

"Okay, okay! I'll take the lead first and repay the 420,000. The two ministers, the fourth, and the thirteenth, you continue to discuss, I will go into the garden to greet Amma! ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

The crown prince left, and the officials looked at each other. Zhang Tingyu sighed deeply and left first.
