Chapter 39: Temptation
Three days later, the master in the study room in the Forbidden City was shaking his head and lecturing, extremely intoxicated, the tenth elder brother Yinyu was a little drowsy underneath, the ninth elder brother Yinyu glanced at him, shook his head, and stretched out his hand to push the tenth elder brother while the lecturer was not paying attention.
The tenth elder brother was trembling, and immediately woke up, frowned and looked left and right, and found that it was the ninth brother who pushed himself, stretched his eyebrows again, and asked the ninth elder brother very quietly: "Ninth brother, why are you pushing me?" ”
"I want to go out of the palace, but you can't get out." The ninth elder brother stared at the tenth elder brother and asked in a playful voice.
"I want to go out, but the last time we left the palace, we were punished by Huang Ama to kneel, if we leave the palace again...... I'm afraid that Huang Ama will ...... again" The tenth elder brother listened to the lecture boringly, and he really wanted to go out of the palace with the ninth brother to play, but he was scared by the old man's lesson last time.
Brother Jiu listened to it in his ears and muttered secretly: The courage of the tenth brother is too small.
After staying for a while, the ninth elder brother bent down and slipped out of the door of the upper study under the surprised eyes of the other elder brothers, and the tenth elder brother saw him slip out, and also quietly slipped away, and when the lecturer reacted, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother had already gone out of the palace gate.
Outside the Zhengyang Gate, Brother Nine and Brother Ten went to the private room on the second floor of Xingsheng Restaurant for lunch.
"Hey, what did you say about the Xingwang Pavilion money village opposite this restaurant?"
"I only know that it is a female proprietor, a few days ago, when the official messenger of the infantry army commander Yamen was at the gate of Xingwang Pavilion Qianzhuang, I happened to see it."
"Oh! It must be the noble daughter of the Eight Banners, and the people who can do business on this street are either famous families or prestigious families. ”
When Brother Jiu heard this, his face frowned, and he didn't have the heart to listen to what the two people said later, so he went to Qianzhuang to ask for clarification in a while.
The tenth elder brother also knew a little about the ninth elder brother's opening of the bank, and when one of them talked about the Xingwang Pavilion bank, he looked at the ninth elder brother suspiciously, "Brother Jiu, they seem to be talking about the money bank opened by you and the fifth sister-in-law!" ”
"Leave them alone, eat first, and we'll take a look at the money village after eating." Brother Jiu nodded, looking at the somewhat stupid tenth brother.
When he arrived at Xingwang Pavilion Qianzhuang, as soon as Brother Jiu asked, he learned that Qianzhuang was troubled by his peers, and Brother Jiu felt a little angry, how could he endure such a thing, those people dared to come to make trouble for the first time, he dared to come for the second time, and he must fundamentally put an end to the bullying of his peers.
Shopkeeper Li looked at the angry Nine Elder Brother with some annoyance, "It's all the incompetence of the minions and the failure to deal with the problem of the money bank......"
Shopkeeper Li was dug up from other shops by Brother Jiu for a lot of money, and now the money village is making trouble, but he can't do anything, which will make the owner check whether his ability can handle the heavy responsibility.
The guy brought two cups of tea up, and Brother Ten picked it up and smelled the tea, and put down the teacup again, this tea is still a little worse than that in the palace.
"What about the guy who was beaten?" Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and looked at the guys who were still in the shop, but he didn't see anyone with injuries on their faces.
Shopkeeper Li lowered his head, and reacted after realizing it.
"Oh, the slave has already let him recuperate at home, and it looks like it will be a while before he arrives at Qianzhuang."
In this case, Brother Jiu didn't say much about Shopkeeper Li, after all, Rishengchang Qianzhuang came to make trouble, and it was not because of Shopkeeper Li, so he instructed Shopkeeper Li to do something.
"Qian Zhuang has to hire some bodyguards to protect the hospital, the money in the treasury is the life of Qian Zhuang, and you will lose as much money as you want. In addition, the money bank is now mainly engaged in currency exchange, and will gradually increase deposits, loans and exchange business in the future. ”
Shopkeeper Li secretly sighed, the owner of the young age may not be less than him, the shopkeeper is quite convinced, and he nodded busily.
Seeing Shopkeeper Li nodding, the ninth elder brother asked the tenth elder brother next to him: "Tenth brother, are you interested in going to Rishengchang Qianzhuang?" ”
"I'll go wherever Brother Jiu goes." Brother Ten smiled, feeling that the air at this time was exceptionally fresh.
After about a moment, at the gate of Rishengchang Qianzhuang, two young teenagers appeared outside the door, and the guy on duty stared at the past and glanced at them, and did not take them seriously, after all, there were many people who came and went from the south.
Brother Nine walked straight in, Brother Ten followed behind him, Brother Jiu's two eyes seemed to look at them like an enemy, stabbed in the back, and people were scared to see it, the guy at the door was startled by his eyes, and hurriedly took a few steps back and walked in, and called the shopkeeper to come out.
Without waiting for the guys from Rishengchang Qianzhuang to greet him, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother sat on the chairs in the shop.
"You have not done a clean business, and you have played such a little trick on your peers." Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows lightly, looked at the shopkeeper of Rishengchang Qianzhuang and said.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper of Rishengchang Qianzhuang was a little surprised between his eyebrows, where did a teenager have the courage to dare to dictate to them Rishengchang Qianzhuang, he immediately smiled on his face, and laughed.
"What are the two sons talking about, we have been doing business for many years, how can we go to trouble our peers, presumably the two sons are hearsay, not true. When the two sons came to the capital bank, did they exchange money or deposit? The shopkeeper of Rishengchang Money Village had a smile on his face.
Brother Jiu didn't expect the shopkeeper of Shengchang Qianzhuang to be so outspoken, and he was secretly shocked in his heart, but the look on his face was unmoved, but he scolded secretly in his heart: You dog, you dare to harm the master's shop, you have eaten the gall of a leopard.
The tenth elder brother glanced at his mouth: "The people who led the yamen of the infantry army have all been dispatched, this is still fake!" ”
Brother Jiu sneered in his heart, the shopkeeper of Shengchang Qianzhuang was really talking nonsense, so he said to the shopkeeper in a cold tone: "Tell your owner well, if you come to Xingwangge Qianzhuang to make trouble, he will wait to go to prison." You should tell the owner the truth of Xiao Xiao Luohanmu and let him understand! ”
After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, "Tenth brother, let's go." ”
After hearing this, the shopkeeper's face turned cold, he looked at the dress of the two boys, presumably the identity is not simple, judging from the tone just now, those two boys are estimated to be related to Xingwang Pavilion Qianzhuang, who can have this strength, it must be the son of the owner of the Eight Banners in the capital.
The sun gradually faded, and on the way back to the palace, Brother Ten became scared again, "Brother Nine, what if Huang Ama finds out that we are skipping class and leaving the palace again?" ”
"I have a way, don't worry, we won't be scolded this time." Brother Jiu was silent for a moment, with a somewhat determined look.
The tenth elder brother is relieved, as long as he is not punished by Huang Ama to kneel again.
As soon as the two returned to the palace, they went to the Qianqing Palace.
Kangxi frowned: "I heard the master in class today, you skipped class again today?" ”
"Huang Ama, today's master talked about the twenty-four filial pieties, the child thought that Huang Ama was often worried about political affairs, so he thought about sharing some for Huang Ama, so he took the ten younger brothers to the Beijing division at the foot of the Son of Heaven to observe the people's feelings, and found that some officials of the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, asked for money from the shops along the street."
"Yes, Huang Ama, those officials also threatened those shops, saying that if they don't give money, they won't be safe." Brother Shi's face changed, and he plucked up the courage to agree.
The expression on Kangxi's face became subtle and surprised, and then he ordered the eunuchs around him to immediately summon the Nine Gate Admirals into the palace to face the saint.
On the second day, in the study of Wubeile Mansion, Wanyue was grinding ink for Yinqi, and listened to what Yinqi heard and saw when he went to court today, "You don't know, Lord Zhao of the Admiral of Jiumen was dismissed last night, saying that he connived at the people under him to bully business and oppress the people, and today Huang Ama also praised the ninth and tenth brothers in the court, saying that they finally did a serious job......"
