Chapter 238: Troubled Waters (19)
For several days, the wills were one after another, like thunder, and the prince and elder brother were all closed without exception, and the courtiers were even more silent.
There is only one question in everyone's hearts: "How many more do you have to fold into this turmoil to be considered a head?" The Criminal Department is full of Shangshu Nest and the Metropolitan Procuratorate Zuodu Yushi Mu and Lun are like ants on a hot pot, this royal matter, but it is so easy to get along?
The previous time I was ordered by the Holy Father to investigate Zhang Mingde, it was only three or five days of work, and the two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly, and the corners of their mouths were full of burning blisters.
Chao Ketuo has already been a person who has told the old man twice, where can he still withstand this, and let Mu Helun be served tea in the second hall, frowning and crying bitterly: "Lord Zongxian, how can this be good? You are beside the emperor, the holy family is long, do you give an idea?" Mu Helun pointed to it and said in a low voice: "If I had a rut, could I still be involved in this matter?" Looking at Zhang Mingde's confession, I didn't close my eyes all night. Look at my appearance in the past two days, and if I continue to toss it, I'm afraid I won't live to your old age. Where is this a confession, it's a thunder to get out of it!" Chao Ketuo leaned closer and said, "Brother, Ming'er's confession in front of the emperor...... , look?" Mu Helun scolded secretly in his heart
"Old fox", but his face was not obvious at all, and said: "You and I are in the legal department, not in vain, everything is performed according to the holy will." Chao Ketuo snorted twice with a toothache, and a thought popped up in their hearts almost at the same time: "This Zhang Mingde, if he bites his tongue and commits suicide before he is tried." "Outside the Hongde Palace, Yinyu has stood for a long time, and the more he ponders inside, the more he is worried.
Since the eldest brother was banned, Kangxi was full of doubts about himself in and out of his words, so he wanted to find out what the imperial father meant, and it was good to have a preparation, who knew that Li Dequan had not said a word in the past few days, and he asked other eunuchs to inquire, only to know that Li Dequan was disgusted by Kangxi, and he was beaten by Shen Xingsi's board, and he is now recuperating from his injuries.
The other eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace are all slippery and don't keep their hands, and the money in the house is still collected, but the porcelain is honest.
I was really helpless, so I had to take advantage of the excerpts of the house office manager Ling Pu's family property to be confiscated by the report on the report, and I came to visit one or two by myself.
I didn't want Kangxi to look at the excerpt, so I said lightly: "I know, you can kneel down." "I can't even afford to say anything more.
Is this evil or auspicious? Although it was late autumn, a layer of sweat appeared densely on Yinxi's forehead. At the gate of Donghua, Yinxi was just about to get on the horse and go home, when he was suddenly called by someone behind him.
"Babel, please stay, there is an edict from the emperor!" Yinxi was suddenly startled, and when he turned to look, it was the fifth brother of the first-class guard in front of the emperor, and he knelt down busily, and said, "Erchen respectfully listens to the holy teachings." The fifth brother stood with his back to the south and said loudly: "The fifth brother of the guard led Beile Yinxu to the Zongren Mansion for a hearing. Yinxi's face turned pale for a moment, and he muttered back: "Erchen obeys the order." The fifth brother was very polite, and helped Yinxi to get up first, and then said with a smile: "Let the slave serve the eighth master on the horse, right?" Yinxi reluctantly smiled and said: "You are the most useful guard next to the emperor, how can I work for you?"
In the second hall of the Zongren Mansion, Prince Jian Yaerjianga looked at Yinxi, a little embarrassed, although the two of them have a good relationship in private, but now they are serving the will, it is not good to openly indulge in private.
Yin Xi is also interested, and respectfully made a thousand: "Please Brother Wang." Yarjianga nodded at Yinxi, returned the salute, cleared his throat, and said, "There are a few things to ask you, and you have to answer them well." Seeing that Yinxi seemed to be a little overwhelmed, Yaerjianga added: "This mansion is not a question, the eighth brother doesn't have to be too formal, just sit down and reply." Yinxi just sat down under Yaerjiang, turned sideways, his eyes were still a little dazed, and said: "Brother Wang, I don't dare to hide it." Yaerjianga avoided Yinxi's gaze and said, "Zhang Mingde, can you recognize this person?" Yinxi nodded and said, "Yes, I heard Puqi say that this person is good at numerology...... "After a pause, he sighed, and said: "Brother Wang also knows that since the younger brother opened the mansion, the heirs are scarce, so he is counting on finding someone and breaking off his life. Yarjiang's eyebrows tightened, and said: "It's just that the eighth brother hasn't asked anything else?" Yinxi's eyelids jumped, and said: "Why did Brother Wang ask this?" Yarjiang Ayo felt that he had talked too much, and said with a smile: "The eighth brother is in the prime of his youth, and he has a few concubines in Ming'er, so why bother with the matter of the heir at this moment?" After saying that, I feel that it is inappropriate, Yinxi's wife Guo Luoluo is the granddaughter of Wang Yuele of Gu'an County, and she is famous for her sharp lips, but she is not a good person.
The two have not been married so far, and the concubines in the house, except for the three or two cautious people who are offered by Mrs. Yan's words as a general order, all of them who look a little seductive have been driven out by Guo Luoluo's search for people early, where can this Yinxi easily have an heir?
This sentence made Yinxi's face red, and he lowered his voice and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, I have to discuss it with my wife." Yarjianga smiled faintly, then changed the conversation, intentionally or unintentionally glanced in the direction of Santang, and said: "Yinhe and Zhang Mingde planned to assassinate the second elder brother, do you know?" Yinjiang immediately denied it: "Although the junior brother has seen this person, he is just looking for him to see his appearance, how can he let me know about such a conspiracy? Brother Wang repeatedly asked, this is ......" Yaerjianga looked at Yinxi, paused slightly, as if he was a little hesitant, and finally said: "Zhang Mingde's matter involves many clans, and the emperor is angry and ordered the Zongren Mansion to investigate thoroughly." The eighth brother also knows what kind of land the eldest brother has landed now, listen to the elder brother's advice, if the eighth brother knows, it is better to defend himself in the last excerpt is the best policy. Yinxi hurriedly argued and said: "Brother Wang Mingjian, if I know such a thing without a monarch's father, how can I not play the reason of the emperor's father?" Seeing that Yarjiang'a was silent for a while, Yinzhen hurriedly added: "I Yinxi's dare to swear to the sky: If I had known about this, I would have taught me not to die well!" Seeing that Yinzhen said solemnly, Yaerjiang'a hurriedly stopped him and said: "Eighth brother's words are serious, such taboo things are not good to talk about casually." I found some words to persuade Yinxi, and Yinxi nodded frequently, but I couldn't help but become more and more worried in my heart.
Not long after, a few people came from the third hall, and the first two people on the right looked sideways at the second hall, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Brother Starling, why are you here." When Yinxi heard this, he immediately stood up, and his voice couldn't help but bring some panic: "Ninth brother, fourteenth brother, ...... you?" The person on the left was Prince Yu Baotai, his face was full of sorrow, he looked at Yaerjiang, and said, "You and I will go to the emperor to return to the emperor." ”
