Twenty days later, 32 military attachés from other provinces who owed more than 100,000 taels of silver entered Beijing one after another. These Qiu Ba Ye have mansions in Kyoto, and the first to arrive will go their own way, worship Brother and Huitongyin; the wait-and-see style of the late arrival, inquiring about the news; All of them are pregnant with ghosts; Say what "fool looks next door for the New Year". They made up their minds: look at the three major households - Wei Dongting, Mu Zixu, and Wu Dan. It was not until April 23 that Yinxiang received a letter from the governor of Nanjing, Yamen, saying that Wei Dongting was suffering from malaria, was seriously ill, and was in danger, and he really could not be summoned to Beijing. The officials of the six ministries rumored that Wei Dongting fell ill in anxiety due to the forced debts of the imperial court. Then on the second day, he received an urgent report from the governor of Jiangnan, saying that Mu Zixu died of a violent illness the day before he set off!

When the news came, the Beijing officials immediately made an uproar. Wang Hongxu, A Ling'a, and Yu Xu took the lead, and impeached Shi Shilun in successive chapters. Some say that Shi Shilun has a heart for chaos and suspicions; Some say that Shi Shilun forced Liang to become a prostitute - forced the officials under him to take bribes and scrape the ground. Then Dali Temple, Honglu Courtyard swarmed, and the snow flakes of the song also seemed to fly into the interior, and the atmosphere in the officialdom of the capital was immediately tense, although he did not dare to refer to Qincha Yinxiang; In fact, everyone knows that after knocking down Shi Shilun, the two temple owners Yinxiang and Yinzhen will have no incense.

After receiving the news of Mu Zixu's death, Yinxiang couldn't help but panic, but he made up his mind to break the cauldron and sink the boat, told Shi Shilun to stabilize his mind, prepare for the supervision meeting, and rushed to Xihuamen to enter the big house to see Yinren.

"How! Got in trouble, didn't you? Yinren was playing chess with his master Wang Luo, and as soon as they met, he complained, "What I'm most afraid of is my life, and now Mu Zixu is dead!" Long live just now called the people in the study, as well as the Ministry of Rites, who are giving Mu Zixu a nickname in the Heart Cultivation Palace, what a headache! In this case, you go back to the household department first to gather the people, and I will go to the household department after noon. ”

Yinxiang walked out of Yuqing Palace, felt that both legs were soft, and in the Tianjie of Qianqingmen, he met Yinzhen pacing out of Yongxiang, so he stopped.

"I just came out of the Heart Cultivation Temple." Yin Zhen saw that his face was not good, so he said, "You hold it steady, it's not a big deal." The common feelings of birth, old age, sickness and death. If something goes wrong on an errand, it's all my business, not the crown prince and you. Are you going to see the emperor? Wu Dan is inside, and he has promised to repay his debts! Yinxiang listened, and a stone in his heart fell. Just as he was about to go in, Yinzhen stopped him: "Old Thirteen, give you this." As he spoke, he pulled a piece of paper from the pages of his boots.

When Yinxiang took it, it was a blank list signed by the owner of the Yellow Flag, and the customs defense of the Internal Affairs Office was stamped underneath. He asked, a little overwhelmed, "What is this for me?" Yin Zhen smiled. Yinxiang then remembered what happened to Alain, blushed, brushed it and folded it and stuffed it into his sleeve, wanting to say a word of gratitude, but he felt useless, so he only bowed deeply and walked away. Yinxiang came to the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, and Kangxi was talking to Wu Dan.

"You're here, stand aside." Kangxi commanded.

"I don't know what happened to Wei Dongting's illness?" Kangxi blew his nose and said, "You should go to see him when you pass through Nanjing." If it weren't for Mu Zixu, I wouldn't be worried, but now I'm really a little scared......" Wu Dan was so moved that he trembled, straightened his pale braids, and said tremblingly: "This is a slave's negligence. The clan secretary yamen urged the servants to go north, but they didn't take care of it. Kangxi listened, was stunned for a while, turned his face and smiled, and asked Yinxiang: "The general manager of cleaning up the deficit, what should you do when you look at this matter!" ”

Yinxiang lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Account, I'm afraid it should still be repaid." The sons also know that the three old ministers of Wei, Mu, and Wu are highly respected and deeply favored. Only in this way, it should be an example for all officials, to fulfill the heart of the Lord to the public and clear, if it is really beyond its reach, it seems that the date of repayment of the silver should also be set, so as to put an end to the mouth of the villain, so that the debt can be cleared so that it can be successfully completed. In the future, the emperor will be gracious, and the grace will not be involved in the current overall situation - this is a little insight of the sons, please ask the emperor to judge! ”

"Oh?" When Kangxi stared at Yinxiang, he suddenly laughed, "I'm afraid this is the fourth child's knowledge, right?" Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi, Fang Cai Yinzhen also mean this? Ma Qi said: "What the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother said is right. However, at present, there are many discussions, and Shi Shilun is impeached in chapters and chapters, and Shi Shilun's life is very difficult. I heard that he sent his family back to his hometown: ready to fight. Although it is said that Shi Shilun is impeached, in fact, it is also connected to the crown prince, the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother, and this situation is worrying. The slave thought that it should be done slowly, and after a little while, he could do it calmly, and he could save a lot of trouble. ”

Yinxiang raised his eyebrows and said: "Huang Ama, you can't retreat at this time, and if you retreat, you will give up all the success - this is Erchen's own idea." The people of Wei Dongting are loyal and good, and Erchen understands it very well in his heart, but everyone is looking at them, if they don't clean up, the whole situation will have to be turned over! At present, many people are eager to take Erchen to eat meat and sleep skin, and Erchen can't take care of this. Kangxi squinted and looked at Yinxiang with appreciation, and suddenly remembered what the prince had said a few days ago, and a burst of unhappiness rose in his heart, and he smiled again: "There is a desperate San Lang on "Water Margin", and I think my old thirteen can be regarded as a 'desperate thirteen lang'!" Since you are sacrificing your life for righteousness, you don't have to scruple about it, just do it according to your heart. The prince has some concerns, it doesn't matter, Ming'er I see that he has a point. As for the debts owed by Wei Dongting and a few people, you just urge them, I don't think they will embarrass you kid. Yinxiang listened to this, and sure enough, he had the intention of paying for Wei, Mu and others from the inner house, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, so he kowtowed to resign, Kangxi smiled and said: "I asked you for a leave of absence from Wudan, so he doesn't have to go to the household department today to listen to your lesson." I want to go out of the palace and walk around-now these guards, as far as Liu Tiecheng and Delentai are still the same-one is rude and the other is naïve, like the son of Oro Dai, who only knows the power of the fox and the tiger, which is prohibitive. It's not easy for Wu Dan to enter Beijing, let our master and servant talk together, you go! ”

Yin Xiang rushed to the household department, and before a quarter of noon, he ordered all the officials to gather in the lobby, and dozens of officials bowed down and kowtowed together, shouting in unison: "Respectfully invite the thirteenth master Jin'an!" ”

"Hello everyone!" Yinxiang agreed with a smile, ordered everyone to sit on both sides, sat in the center, and elaborated on the truth that Fang had just said in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and encouraged: "The princes are leading troops outside, they are all the pillars of the country, the heroes of the people, and the drums do not need to be hammered." Fang Cai promised the old general Wudan in Long Live that the two silver owed would be paid off this autumn. He also gave Wei Dongting a package ticket, which was also handed over this autumn. - What do you do? Let's talk about it. ”

He spoke dryly, but these people knew the family background of Wei, Wu and others, and they didn't believe it at all. Yinxiang asked twice, and Fujian Governor Zuo Zhenbang coughed dryly and said, "Debts naturally have to be repaid." The thirteenth master Mingjian, the lower officials only have one hundred and sixty taels of silver a year, and they are not as good as civil officials, so they can draw fire from taxes. I don't dare to do anything about drinking the blood of soldiers, I don't hide it from the thirteenth master, if I don't eat a few vacancies, I can't even afford to invite the master and the secretary. Is there a limit of more days for the repayment of the money—let's say five years? ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the crowd began to speak. Some said: "Whoever is willing to take on the debt is raised by the turtle son!" What's the solution? Some said: "I went to Beijing this time to entangle, and I still borrowed miles from others." Some also said: "Don't hide it from the Thirteenth Master, I don't have a mansion in Beijing, I came to the household department hungry!" Those who have a mansion in Beijing immediately retorted: "What if there is a mansion?" I also came hungry, my family was driven away by me, and one less mouth is one less expense...... "This brilliant general is also bullying Yinxiang's youth, and he doesn't dare to do anything about himself, and the more he talks, the more he says that he is a group of flowers."

"Is this really the case?" Yinxiang had an idea, called Shi Shilun, and quietly commanded a few words.

Shi Shilun's face changed sharply, and he asked softly, "Do you make it?" ”

Yinxiang said with a calm face: "It's all mine when something happens." Shi Shilun left. Yinxiang turned to everyone again, his face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "Let's eat tea and talk." Anyone who can't open the pot will move into my house today, and I'll raise it first! Come and offer tea. ”

No one answered.

The servant brought the tea. Everyone sighed and sipped tea, listening to Yinxiang with great interest. "—why did you come to this point?" Yinxiang said, "Although I am young, I know a little about the next things. Although there are not many years of income, who can expect to live a new year? First, the magistrate has a regulation of silver, which is constantly in spring, summer, autumn and winter; the second is the vacancy of military salaries; Third, in case of robbery and robbery, the imperial court has additional subsidies, and there are not a few officers under the head who are filial...... "He has been counting the years, such as saying homely. Everyone was dumbfounded.

Listening to it, everyone couldn't sit still one by one, and everyone felt that their stomachs were upset—but they didn't know that it was the medicine used in the tea,—— they were still holding on to it at first, and their faces turned blue. Zuo Zhenbang picked up the head and vomited "wow......". Yellow stewed duck and goat milk stewed pigeon eggs eaten in Liuheju in the morning...... I vomited it all in one go, and I was still filled with alcoholic acid.

"Wow......"

"Wow......"

At the beginning of Zuo Zhenbang, where can everyone endure it? One by one, they bent over and vomited. The lobby of the individual household department is full of smell. The household officials and officials standing on the side covered their noses and raised their eyebrows.

"Humph!" Yinxiang got up, walked around the room, looked at everyone with a tiger's eye, and asked: "Which adult spit out radish and cabbage, come out and speak!" I, Yinxiang, immediately played the Ming Sheng, and I was exempt from repaying the national debt! ”

Everyone came back to their senses at this time, knowing that they had fallen into this kid's plan, and they were all angry, just at this time, Yinren came in with the corner of his robe, and was stunned as soon as he entered the door, covered his nose and asked: "What's wrong, where does it smell so big?" ”

"Prince!" Zuo Zhenbang thought that this play was arranged by the prince, and when he saw him pretending, he couldn't help but be angry, so he left the table and kowtowed, and said viciously: "Zuo Mou is a soldier Qiu Ba, and he doesn't know what etiquette is. If you look at us and don't be authentic, you can just slaughter us with a knife, and you don't need to spoil people so much! ”

Yinren looked at everyone in amazement and said, "I really don't know what's going on. You are all people who have been born and died to serve your country, who will spoil you? ”

"You ask the Thirteenth Master!" Zuo Zhenbang said, "You ask the people here, what evil have we done? Why are you so cornered...... Trained here to endure hardships...... "Say it and cry loudly!" The officials came back to their senses at this moment, and the black crows knelt down. Listening to Zuo Zhenbang's loud cry, he cried very sadly, and the rest of the people bowed their heads and sobbed silently.

Yinxiang smiled and sat down, and said: "Prince, I put some medicine in the tea, everyone pretends to be poor, but in fact, they eat with a fat brain, and it's good to have a fire-"

"Unconscious!" Yinren's eyes stopped Yinxiang. He came here today to relieve Yinxiang's difficulties and implement his purpose of "delaying debt collection". After a pause, he said, "Everyone, get up!" The thirteenth master is young and vigorous, and he has offended you. He has his problems. - Meng Lang has done this a little bit, look at my face, don't care. "Only then did everyone know that making a fool of himself today and not doing the prince's business was all a trick played by this ridiculous thirteen masters, and they had nothing to say for a while. Yinren said again: "The deficit you owe must be repaid, this is a holy oracle, I make an appointment with you to pay off this debt for ten years, how about it?" ”

"Prince Chitose Shengming!"

"The prince is so considerate, the minions are bleeding outside, and they are willing!" Everyone was happy, tsk and praise the saint, in the end, only Yinxiang was the number one villain, not sitting, not standing, his face was blue and red, and his head was buzzing. When everyone resigned, Yinxiang stomped his feet and was about to leave.

"Come back!"

Yinren stopped Yinxiang. He wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw Yinxiang trembling with anger, he was stunned for a while before he said softly: "Look at what you did, look, tomorrow, it will be a sensation in Jinghua!" Then the gods and historians still have to pick bones in their eggs! Isn't that a giving of authority? ”

"I'm not afraid!" Yinxiang's green muscles jumped suddenly, "It's a pity that I disappointed the emperor's heart and messed up this messenger!" Prince, look at it, in less than half a year, the treasury will be greatly emptied, and then see how to fill this famine! ”

Yinren knew Yinxiang's temperament, but he didn't care about his straightforwardness and rudeness, what made him unhappy the most was that the fourth child said a word, Yinxiang said a word, and then took a step forward and comforted: "This is all the fourth child who connived you badly?" ”

"I don't care what the fourth is or not!" Yinxiang stiffened his neck and replied, "What I said is that the words of thieves can't be wrong; What he said is not, Yao Shun's words can't be true! Yinren sneered: "I'm not angry with you." Tell you, governing the country is like cooking small fresh, delicate fish, you put it in the pot and turn it around, there is nothing bad about it. My father is already in high spirits, and there are some things that his old man is not in good spirits, so we have to think about it! This court, this country, sooner or later, I will be in charge of it, this son will mess up, how will I clean it up in the future! Confucius regarded benevolence as the foundation of governing the country, and if he forgot this root, he would do bad things. ”

Yinren said, glanced at Yinxiang who was unhappy, didn't say anything anymore, and went away.
