The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the fourth master.

Bai Luomei held his hand nervously and deliberately lowered her voice, "Master, let's go back as soon as possible, right?" Late will change! ”

"Okay, you will return to the yamen with the wind, and I will go to the prison with the old thirteen."

"Good preparations, let's leave for Beijing tomorrow!"

The fourth master made a decision immediately and did not hesitate.

At this point, he had to hurry up and pave the way for himself.

But to this day, he has not been able to receive a letter from Nian Qianyao, as the local governor who supplies grain and grass, Nian Qianyao played a vital role in the northwest war, and the strange thing is that the fourteenth master won such a big thing, but Nian Qianyao did not report to him.

If this was before, Nian Qianyao would definitely inform him as soon as possible.

Now, the situation seems to be changing subtly.

That same evening.

The fourth master and the thirteenth master rushed to the prison.

As soon as he entered the dimly lit cell, he heard a burst of angry scolding, filling the eardrums of the two masters.

"This official has been working for the court for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, the fourth master, the fourth master, you shouldn't treat the lower officials like this, you are so ruthless, aren't you afraid of attacking them in groups?"

"Eighth master, the lower official has been waiting here for many days, why don't you come to rescue the lower official?"

"Your prince is fighting for the heir, what do you have to do with the lower officials, why do you let the lower officials pay for this, and who do the lower officials provoke?"

"That's it! Master Cai, don't shout, everything you do is already known to the fourth master, how did I believe you in the first place, and I am friends with you! ”

"If I had known this, I would have stayed away from you!"

Cao Xirong and Cai Yongzhen accused each other and scolded each other through the railing in the prison.

Suddenly, the fourth master and the thirteenth master appeared in front of the two.

I saw that the fourth master was expressionless, looking at the two people who were scolding each other with a gloomy face.

Suddenly.

Silence returned to the cell, and the two of them knelt on the ground in unison, not daring to come out.

"Open the door! They all go out, and this king has something to ask him two! ”

The fourth master was silent.

The next moment, the jailer opened the cell and immediately retreated.

"Fourth master, the lower official is guilty, but the official is not guilty to death!"

"Everything the lower officials did was instructed by the eighth master, over the years, although the lower officials were greedy, but, only one percent of the real ones in the hands of the lower officials, ninety percent were taken away by the eighth master, the lower officials are now guilty, and they are willing to fill the vacancies with all the money, and ask the fourth master to forgive the lower officials for the sake of the old and the young."

Cai Yongzhen stared at the frame with tears, shrunk her neck stupidly, and didn't dare to look directly at her.

"You just said that everything is instructed by the eighth master, do you dare to sign and draw a pledge?"

The fourth master sat on the chair, looked at him coldly, in a deep voice.

Cai Yongzhen hurriedly said, "Xiaguan dare, as long as you give Xiaguan a chance to live, Xiaguan will not dare!" ”

"Cai Yongzhen, you have to think about it, if what you say is not true, according to the law, you will be cut by a thousand cuts!" The Thirteenth Master reminded him.

In the face of this criminal officer, the Thirteenth Master did not have any good impression of him.

But the matter is related to the eighth master, and he has to be cautious, hoping to expose the hypocrisy of the eighth master, so that Emperor Kangxi and the world can see clearly the eighth master's wolf ambition.

Smell.

Cai Yongzhen didn't think about it, and said solemnly, "If the lower official has a false sentence, he is willing to be punished!" Even if there are thousands of cuts, the lower officials are not afraid! ”

"Okay, there's a kind!"

As soon as the thirteenth master waved his hand, Jing Mu immediately took a pen and paper and spread it on the table.

"Write down everything you know, fifteen and ten, and don't hide it!" The Thirteenth Master spoke sharply, leaned back on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, gave him a look, and motioned for him to come over and write the incriminating evidence.

Cai Yongzhen didn't dare to slack off for a moment, said yes again and again, sat tremblingly in front of the thirteenth master, picked up the pen and rolled up his sleeves, looked at the blank paper, thought for a while, and wrote down the crime with enthusiasm.

Meanwhile.

Cao Xirong, who was in another cell, couldn't wait to climb to the edge of the fence and kowtowed to the two of them a few times, "The fourth master, the thirteenth master, and the eighth master will be impeached for his humble position!" ”

"Oh? What are you going to impeach the eighth master? ”

The Thirteenth Master raised his eyebrows slightly, stared at him closely, rubbed his hands and waited for him to speak.

Cao Xirong was about to speak, but suddenly stopped talking.

Moment.

The thirteenth master waved his hand, it didn't matter, "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, forget it, the master won't force you, anyway, after returning to Beijing, you can do whatever you want, raid the house and destroy the door, or divide the corpse of the five horses, and the emperor will be in charge!" ”

"Thirteenth Master, Fourth Master......"

"If the humble position is said, can the two masters plead for the emperor to intercede for the humble position......

Cao Xirong hesitated, seeing Cai Yongzhen struggling to write, not to mention how anxious he was.

But in order to be able to brush up on his presence in front of the two masters and ask for some shelter, he also gave it up.

The Thirteenth Master said in a deep voice, "As long as what you say is true, the Lord will naturally intercede for you in front of the emperor, of course, it depends on what you say." ”

Suddenly, Cao Xirong no longer hesitated.

"The humble post was originally just a school captain, but it was recommended by the eighth master, so that the humble post came to Tianyuan Mansion as a general, and since the humble post arrived in Tianyuan Mansion, he cooperated with Cai Yongzhen to earn money for the eighth master."

"In addition to those that the second master has already found out, the eighth master also asked me to communicate with Jiangnan, do business with the enemy country, salt tea iron horse grain, over the years, the eighth master has made a lot of profits from it, in addition to the eighth master, there is also the waste prince......"

Cao Xirong didn't think about it, and told everything he knew.

Hearing this, the scalps of the two of them tingled.

Doing business with enemy countries, is this still the work of the prince?

No wonder the enemy suddenly started a war, it turned out to be unscrupulous!

The fourth master sneered, "This is really appalling, say, what are they doing with so much silver?" ”

"Win over courtiers, communicate with and ...... famous families"

Cao Xirong responded cautiously.

As soon as he heard this, the fourth master held his forehead and sighed, sullen.

If Emperor Kangxi knew about this, I don't know how sad it would be.

As a prince, one by one did not make Emperor Kangxi feel comfortable, but also started business with the enemy, allowing the enemy to accumulate food, so that he could let go of his hands and feet to compete with the Qing Dynasty without worries.

The fourth master waved his hand and motioned for Jing Mu to find a pen and paper and ask him to write down the incriminating evidence.

That night, the fourth master was worried and drank with the thirteenth master in the back office.

The thirteenth master poured himself a few glasses of wine one after another, and frowned, "Fourth brother, these people should be rectified well, but Huang Ama is old and old, and he has become more and more tolerant of them over the years. ”

"These things should be known to the emperor, and they should not be hidden."

The fourth master was worried, "Lao Ba is even more indulgent than Huang Ama to the ministers below, which makes the ministers below even more unscrupulous and insatiable!" ”

"If this continues, my Qing Dynasty will have to rot from the roots!"

"On another day, if Huang Ama chooses the eighth child to be the crown prince and let him inherit the unification, what kind of chaos will the world become!"
