Chapter 188: Depressed

When I received the post in the afternoon. When I saw the words 'Whole Egg Banquet' written below, I smiled and gently put the post in the fire and burned it. He knew that Lao Ba was looking for him, but he didn't expect Lao Ba to come to him on the first day he took over the Internal Affairs Office.

And what he didn't expect was that the eighth didn't know the inside story at all, Sisi locked himself in the yamen of the household department and thought about it for a long time, and only came to eat when the time came, just saw the appearance of the eighteenth, he also understood better, the eighth was here to probe his tone.

And Xia Mo looked at a table of eggs in a daze, ten taels of silver, an egg?

She kind of wants to be like the 'right intestine piercing' in the Zhou version of "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance"!

Now she knows why the eighth child went home in the afternoon, she can only go home, and if she continues to look at it, she will definitely have cerebral congestion. You said that the Internal Affairs Office is not too dark, an egg has three or five lines of money, but it turned out that the Internal Affairs Office has ten taels of silver a piece, one tael of silver and one thousand lines, this is the official price, and some places have exchanged 1,500 to 2,000 lines of one tael of silver, and 10,000 steps back said. According to the official price of 1,000 lines, eggs are also calculated according to five lines, the internal affairs government alone has a 2,000-fold increase in eggs, and it really makes the TV say that the emperor is the biggest wrongdoer in the world?

"How can this egg be compared with the palace brother, it is under the golden rooster." Lao Ba gritted his teeth, he was in North Korea, and Mongolia only dared to make money with three or five times the profits, but the palace was good, directly a thousand times, and he was not working for these minions all these years?

He asked the eunuch in charge in the morning, why are eggs so expensive, but the eunuch replied as a matter of course, the palace is naturally the best, and the best is naturally worth the price, and he looked at the eighth child with some dissatisfaction.

Although Lao Ba didn't know how much an egg should cost, he knew 100% that it would be less than ten taels of silver. His silver, the silver he earned with all his hard work, and the blood and sweat of the people in the world, just disappeared, how could he swallow this breath.

"What do you want? Do you dare to touch the intertwined? Even Huang Ama may not really touch it. So ten taels is ten taels, anyway, because it's expensive, so even the old eighteen can't eat more, which is good. "Four four carelessly.

"Fourth brother!" The eighth child was silent, but Xia Mo screamed. How could this be what the fourth brother said? There was no room in his eyes for Emperor Yongzheng to say such a thing.

"Otherwise, why don't you think the eighth child will let people serve on the side? He himself knows that this matter can't be broken, just this system, challenging the system, even if it succeeds, he will be gone, there is no point. Sisi stared at Xia Mo's eyes and said word by word.

Lao Ba took a sip of wine and smiled coldly, he understood that Sisi would say this when he was his own. Change someone, I'm afraid that he will pretend to be very surprised, and then say that he failed to investigate, and then, others pick the head, and he will write a plea for guilt, saying that his fault is not checked, and there will be nothing. Even if the old man turned his head and wanted to make up for something, it wouldn't be his turn. By the way, I solved the prince and stunned Qing, and counted birds with one stone.

"Fourth brother, thank you!" The eighth sighed softly.

"It's not that you can't think of it, but let me make sure." Sisi didn't appreciate it very much. smiled, "Huang Ama may not be ignorant, but there are some things that he doesn't want to care about, doesn't he often say that the water is clear and there are no fish?" Everyone has their own rules of survival. ”

"It's a little more expensive!" The eighth child was silent for a while and sighed.

Xia Mo stopped talking, she understood the meaning of Sisi, how much is an egg, is it possible that Concubine De, who was born in the Internal Affairs Bureau, does not know? It's just that she understands the twists and turns too well, so she dodges it.

The eggs are small, but they involve thousands of people in the entire palace. What did Su Ma say? This palace is not only for the masters, but also for the minions. If it weren't for these people, I am afraid that the Holy Decree would not be able to be transmitted. This silver is just a lubricant, so that the emperor and the concubines can mix comfortably.

"Mo'er, what did you say happened to Wang's in the afternoon?" The eighth suddenly looked up and asked.

"Wang? What's wrong with Wang? Xia Mo was also stunned for a moment, not knowing what the eighth child asked. Of course, for this woman who once had a night with the eighth child*, Xia Mo's vigilance was innate, and she immediately looked at the eighth child vigilantly.

"You said that every month is a rule, and most of it is her own, so you don't ask the unit price. What is the meaning? The eighth waved his hand, he didn't think about it so much, his mind was full of silver flying.

"Oh, they are quite idle, and they have their own strengths, so they all assigned them jobs, and Wang's is in charge of the kitchen, and a monthly ration is calculated according to the number of people in the family, and the money is allocated to her according to the general surface. As long as she doesn't mean people, the rest is hers. Xia Mo was a little embarrassed for her careful eyes, peeking at Sisi and Baba, both of them were thinking, and they didn't seem to see their thoughts, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Eighth child, don't think about it, if you save money, no one will thank you." Sisi was a little helpless.

"Fourth brother, I'm not trying to save money now, but I can't swallow this breath." The eighth slapped the table.

"Could it be that you are going to be the enemy of the entire Internal Affairs Office? Even if you're not afraid, but think about it, the Internal Affairs Office is not only in charge of the palace, but most of your family members are also born here, and it really touches the interests of their families, do you think you will have a better time at home in the future? ”

"Starling, listen to the fourth brother. He has always not rubbed sand in his eyes, he endured it, but it really didn't work, and said to Huang Ama, can't we do it if we don't do it? Xia Mo was also panicked in her heart, but looking at Sisi's appearance, she decided to believe it.

"Fourth brother. I'm not afraid! I don't want that big position anyway, I'll just fight and watch. What you have is silver, and I'm not afraid of those unfaithful and unfilial guys who will block you. The old eight looked at Sisi fixedly, and he was arrogant.

Xia Mo smiled, this is the eighth, this should be the eighth.

Sisi looked at him for a long time and knocked lightly on the table. Xia Mo knew that he was thinking and calculating, and Lao Ba and Xia Mo didn't bother him anymore, silently waiting for Sisi's final reply. After all, Sisi has been in charge for a year, and Concubine De is also familiar with the things inside, so naturally he can think of a perfect solution.

"Mo'er's idea just now is very good, you just want to change your approach, you haven't mentioned the previous things, the accounts are all destroyed, and the newcomer has a new atmosphere." After a while, Sisi ate an egg roll and said lightly.

"You're still not going to let me offend anyone?" The eighth was stunned for a moment, Sisi said simply, but he also understood Sisi's thoughts, all the previous things have been revealed, and there is no need to mention it again, Lao Ba is not to fight corruption, but to improve efficiency.

"How can you not be offended, I just want you to offend a little less, you are not afraid, do you want to think about the good concubine?" Sisi gave him a blank look.

"Rest assured, from today onwards, the fourth and eighth masters will return to the bridge, the road will return to the road, and the well water will not violate the river water." Lao Ba looked up at the beam, let out a long sigh, and nodded with a wry smile.

Sisi understood that Lao Ba wanted to dissociate himself from him, so as to save him trouble in the future, smiled, did not speak, and exhaled softly, the day was about to get hot, and the city of Beijing was so stuffy that it seemed to press a big stone on people's hearts.

Ten days later, the eighth child entered the palace again, and had a secret conversation with the old man in the south study for a long time, no one knew what they talked about, and even Li Dequan was sent far away.

In July, the old man patrolled outside the fortress as usual, the eighth brother stayed behind, and the rest of the adult elder brothers did not stay, and all of them were taken away.

The old man left Beijing City on the front foot, and the eighth elder brother called the minister, the deputy chief eunuch, the treasurer, the chief bookkeeper, the manager and others. Jeon Zhao was kneeling in the compound of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Several large boxes of account books, as well as the expenses of the old Ba Ming Cha secretly visited these days, and even who divided how much, there are details, and they are directly thrown on the ground, everyone can see.

The timid ones fainted directly, and the bold terriers stiffened their necks, but the trembling arms couldn't hide their weakness at all.

The eighth looked at them, and then looked at the sky, it turned out that it was really true that the thief was weak, but why did no one dare to touch this beard? It's obviously the right thing, but no one dares to do it; Those who dare to do it have to lose their lives? is still showing that he doesn't want to be big; The old man even took out everything that could be related to the big position, for fear of getting a little spark, because the superior himself was also weak-hearted, right?

"Ignition!" The eighth didn't bother to say anything to them, read it all, and gave a direct order, and the guards in the inner court threw those account books into the vat, poured some oil, and then threw the torches in.

Corruption is not enough, they dare to do this, and the money at home will not be only put in one basket, and they are not afraid to copy it. Besides, they know very well that even if the old man is not there, the old man will not be able to kill so many people at one time, he doesn't dare!

They panicked at first, and then they were thoroughly penetrated, and one by one they thought back and felt that they would be able to be very calm if they did it all over again. Just when everyone was just calming down, the eighth unexpectedly burned all the evidence, and then everyone could die without proof, but everyone was even more panicked.

Because they don't know why the eighth child did this, and showed them a favor? Let them do stupid things and help him plot to usurp the throne? Then it's not a killing of the head, but the Nine Clans, they are also afraid of death, but if they die for themselves and the whole family, the whole clan is not a heavyweight. What's more, there are still several tribes who die with them, and they can't afford to bear that responsibility. One by one, they looked at the eighth child in a daze, like a little lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Have you burned it clean?" The eighth child saw that the fire was gradually extinguished, and asked casually.

"Yes!" The guards are the old man's personal soldiers, and the old man doesn't worry about the old man if he leaves them to put it bluntly, if he really uses these people to really show kindness, how can he still mix in the Forbidden City.

The eighth felt really tired, and he panicked for the old man. I am willing to become a knife in his hand, but people are afraid of blood, and they don't want to let go of the opportunity to be gracious! If he is like this, who would dare to give him his life?
