915. Return to Qing Dynasty (20) Three in One(2/2)
Just looking at the people in this team, you know that Hongli really put his mind into it. He really took all aspects into consideration by putting Jiu Ye, Shi Ye's son and Thirteen's son together.
Hongxia rarely speaks. In the past, Hongxia and Hongxia thought they were not familiar with each other. Later, after spending more time together, they realized that he was just that alone. He was not talkative, but he was extremely careful and kind. In addition, he was young and the two of them deliberately gave in, and the three of them got along well along the way.
The three of them are the oldest, and they are seventeen years old this year. Hongxuan is fifteen, and Hongxuan is only thirteen years old. There are not many people who come out to take with them. Each one is one follower and two guards, both of whom are in their respective mansions. There is nothing left. But it doesn’t matter. There are people who are in charge along the way. They are sent by Hongzhou. No matter whether they are eating and working, they don’t feel that there is anything wrong.
But no matter how happy it is, it is also outside. The New Year will be celebrated soon after winter. Should I celebrate the New Year outside this year?
As he was talking, the door was gently pushed open, Hong Tsu hurried in, "Two brothers, I've written a letter from Jingli."
"Who sent it?" Hongxuan asked.
"Fifth Prince." Hong Tseng pursed his lips, "It must be the Fourth Prince who urged him."
"Power!" Hong Shi put the teacup on the table, "We are more anxious than him. But this worry is useless. These are all old men who have been living in the officialdom for half their lives. In their eyes, we are even little boys who have not grown all their hair. If we come, they may not dare to say it, but I am me, we are us." Of course, this is also a way to give my own face. I am not valued by Master Long Live, and Hong Shou is even different. At least, there is Prince Yi's thirteenth uncle poking behind it.
Hongxuan curled his lips, "You see, I have good face, otherwise, how can I use my skills?"
Hong Tsu sat on the side without saying anything, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Before going out, I am preparing for the Qinghai matters... It seems very urgent..."
It means that the money is needed, a lot of money!
Hongxuan sniffed and poked Hongzhi with his elbow. "The fourth prince had previously suggested that we were right. Catch the big one..."
Hongzhi nodded, feeling that the Fourth Prince was not so self-controlled and unattainable. "What should we do? We came out for so long and ate and drank all the way, saying that we were numbing each other, but we didn't take us seriously if we didn't numb the other party. If we returned empty-handed, we would be so embarrassed."
Hongxuan glanced at the two of them and lowered his voice, "What... Isn't it just that there is no evidence? But then again, even if there is evidence, we will only take these people with us. Can we check this account clearly?" The difference between having accounts or not is actually not very big.
Hong Shi narrowed his eyes and agreed with this, but he added, "It doesn't matter if there is no account book before the incident, as long as there is an account book afterward."
The two brothers met and smiled, and both looked at Hong Tsu.
Hong Ting was young, but not stupid. He immediately understood what the two meant, and he did not object. Just as Emperor Ama said, if you behead one by one, you will definitely have a few innocent officials who were wronged, but one by one will kill one by one, then you will be too many to let go. Ask yourself to investigate boldly, there may not be big mistakes, and the only difference is big greed and small greed. Since that's the case, then check it.
But during this period, the three of them learned about all the officials in Jiangnan. It was really difficult to find a breakthrough.
Hong Tsu suddenly remembered what his Mama told him about going to Jiangnan with the late emperor. At that time, the late emperor had lived in the Cao family and the Li family. The luxury and pompousness mentioned in it... If there was no trick in it, no one would believe it. He boldly mentioned a person, "...Li Xu... how is this person?"
Hongzhi and Hongxuan looked at each other, and then looked at Hongxuan with a little admiration. This kid is not very bold! Do you know who Li Xu is? He is the favorite minister of the late emperor! Now you can check it and check it. This is not courage. This is awesome! But then I thought, what happened to the favorite minister of the late emperor? I am also the grandson of the late emperor! Besides, if you want to do it, you will have to do it. Don’t go back and catch the big fish, so I will take two shrimps back to hand in the service. Besides, isn’t this Hongzhi? As long as Hongzhi is in Uncle Thirteen, you have to take care of Uncle Thirteen. Long live Uncle Thirteen’s face.
The two of them even thought about the way back shouted at the same time: "Do it!"
But how to do it?
The three of them muttered for half an evening, and early the next morning, they were dressed neatly, and put out the show of the royal princess, and all went to the Li family.
Li Xuren was in the weaving yamen. When he heard that his home came to report the news, he was shocked. Why did he run to his home?
Could it be that he was targeted? No! How could it be? Before the filial piety period had passed, the corpse of the late emperor touched before it was cold, and he, an old minister of the late emperor, could not be said. But when I thought about it, it might not be necessary that anyone who went out to do the job was a naughty man. What could he understand if his child was still playing at home?
I rushed back with my heart all the way, and when I reached the doorstep, my mind changed again. It was a business to really make trouble for myself. Just go to the yamen, why do I do at home?
He thought about entering the house and asked the butler, "What's the situation?"
The housekeeper was also confused, but he said, "When he entered the door, he met with the old lady and his wife, and was talking to the old lady."
It doesn't look like I'm here to make trouble.
Li Xu went all the way to the inner house, listening to the butler's report: "...It's very pompous. It's the little prince in the Ninth Master's Mansion and the Thirteenth Master's Mansion..."
You have to say this, as soon as these little ancestors left the capital, news came out.
The housekeeper was still nagging, "I'm not old, I look like a teenager..."
"Okay!" Li Xu waved his hand irritably, and said nothing about it.
When I entered the hall, I saw three teenagers talking with the old lady. The older ones were only sixteen or seventeen, with long eyebrows and big eyes flying. The next one was a little smaller, and they couldn't tell the body, but they were probably not short, and they had a simple face. If the brilliance flashed through their eyes, they would have thought that it was someone's honest young man. The youngest one was obviously insufficient in size. Sitting beside the old lady, the old lady held her hand, her face turned red and a little shy smile.
Although I knew that the people sent by Emperor Wansui were young, I didn’t expect Xiao Cheng to be like this.
What can such a child do?
His heart was relieved, but he was not slow, so he hurried over to salute.
Hongzhi and Hongxuan quickly stood up to avoid it, and even Hongshan, who was pulled and unable to move, sat down and refused to accept the courtesy.
When Li Xu got up, Hong Ting quickly broke free and returned the gift with Hong Ting and Hong Xuan.
Hong Shi smiled and said, "Mr. Li must not do this. It's really a disaster for the younger generation. Today, my three brothers came, one was to visit the palace of the late emperor, and the other was to visit the old lady..." The old lady served the late emperor when she was young. This is something that everyone knows and is also the support of the Li family. "Third, I'm afraid I'll bother you in the mansion for a few days..."
Mrs. Li quickly waved her hand, "What are you bothering? The master comes to the door, and only by serving him with all his heart is our duty."
Li Xu understood the first two points, but Li Xu really didn't understand the last one. Trouble his own family? Where did he start?
Hongzhi immediately felt a little shy on his face, "To be honest, Lord Li, the three of us brothers came out to do the job after being ordered by the emperor, but when we saw this, we saw it..." As he said that, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
Li Xu immediately understood that he was embarrassed to go back to Beijing if he didn't finish his job. Living in the inn is not a big deal, as for why he went to his own door...
Hong Shi glanced at the old lady and whispered: "Mr. Li... can you talk with me after taking a step into the study?"
Li Xu didn't know what this big guy had, but he still asked him to ask Hongzhi to go out and talk.
Hongxu looked at Hongxuan, and Hongxuan shook his head, "I won't go, I didn't sleep well last night..." He was so generous that he learned about the way Ten Master was playing tricks. But with that honest face, it made people hate him.
Hong Shi looked like he had no choice but to take care of you, and looked at Hong Shi again.
Hong Tsun glanced at Mrs. Li, "I'll talk to the old lady..." She looked like a child who was not weaned.
Hongzhi looked at Li Xu awkwardly and smiled. Li Xu immediately understood a little and took his children out, especially the children who had spoiled and never left their parents. It was also the New Year Festival that the two young ancestors might make a fuss. How can the inn compete with the Forbidden City? If you want to stabilize the two naughty children and don’t want to return without success, you have to settle the two ancestors first.
Li Xu realized the truth consciously and took Hongxu to the study without any burden.
After entering the study room, the two of them sat down. Hong Shi glanced over and estimated the price of the place. You know, every time his own Ama would always say a few words, "Be careful when you use it, do you know how much this thing is worth?"
So ‘how much is worth’ became the thing that Hong Shi paid the most attention to since he was a child.
The following is that no matter how much you are greedy, you don’t have much money or good things you have with Jiu Ye. As Jiu Ye’s son, he has seen these things since he was a child, and he can save the embarrassment of the rich Jiu Ye.
So, with just one glance, he can accurately estimate the things in this study.
Just the ornaments placed on the surface cannot be purchased without 70,000 or 80,000 ornaments. In addition, what I saw just now at the old lady and Mrs. Li, there are 150,000 or 60,000.
With only one weaving house and only these three places, it is so luxurious. I dare to ask, where did he get the money from?
With his salary, he would never be able to make these things in his life.
He had calculated the accounts in his heart, and he didn't miss the social engagement at all. He said a circle of polite words, and then he smiled bitterly: "Master Li laughed..."
Li Xu nodded understandingly, "It's not easy for a prince." Everyone will have a headache when taking the naughty child out. This is not from the same mansion, it's not a brother, you can't beat or scold it. The younger one is still the legitimate son of the Thirteenth Master Yi's family, and it's a baby Dandan. A young man of sixteen or seventeen went out with two children, and it's really rare to be able to withstand today.
Hongzhi looked like he saw his relatives, and his eyes turned red. He reached out and grabbed a handful of silver notes from his body and pushed forward.
Li Xu was stunned, "What is the matter with your brother? You look down on others too much. It is the honor of the servant to live here. It is the slave who should be filial to him. Besides, the servants can eat as much as they can and give them money. This is a slap in the face. This is called how the servants can enter the Ninth Master's door in the future."
Very refusal.
Hong Shi pushed again, "Don't refuse, please listen to me finish your words."
Li Xu was stunned again. Could there be something else? He did not take the cash receipt, but he did not refuse. He just looked at the stack of silver notes and put them on the face of the words. He glanced at the top and found that the one on the top was 1,000 taels of denomination. When he looked at the thickness of the silver notes, there were at least ten. He was speechless for a moment. Whose child was so willful when he went out and grabbed a handful of 10,000 or 20,000 to throw it out. Of course, it was only from the Jiuye family.
Hong Shi was very embarrassed on the face, "You won't tell me Ama, are you?"
Li Xu's mouth twitched. This virtue was exactly the same as his incompetent son. "Don't worry, as long as it is not a matter of illegal and ruthlessness, I will not talk too much."
That's good! That's good!
He looked very grateful and raised his hand and pushed the silver bill forward, "Sir, we know your identity. You can trust your relationship with Huangmafa. So there are so many officials in Jiangnan who are much older than you. Why did we join you when we come? It's not that we can talk about closeness, but your relationship with the royal family is the closest..."
Haha! The words sound nice, but the better it sounds, the harder it is to deal with.
Li Xu waited quietly for the other party to finish his words.
Hong Shi suddenly leaned forward and lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that someone would hear it, so he said very cautiously.
Li Xu's eyes widened in an instant. He thought he had heard it wrong, "What did you say?"
Hongzhi Zhan smiled and pushed the silver note again, "Mr. Li, I said, you take the money, don't ask you anything else, just ask you to reveal two corrupt officials to come out and ask us to go back to Beijing to pay the job." After saying that, it seemed as if he didn't see Li Xu's expression, "Don't worry, just a little official, just point it out for the sixth and seventh ranks, we won't pick it..."
Li Xu said "hehe" twice, who sent the naughty child this!
Chapter completed!
