Return to the Qing Dynasty (33)

There is a saying that the monkeys fall down in the tree, and there is another saying that the wall falls down and everyone pushes them.

Longkodo's situation was almost like this at this time. All the people who were friends with him disappeared. Those who rely on him to flatter him immediately found another support. Speaking of Longkodo, they all showed their bitter faces, wishing they all became victims of oppression, exploitation and dared not speak.

But this is also human nature, and people have to think about themselves first.

This cannot be blamed on others. Longkodo leaned against the wall of the cell, and he thought so particularly.

But no matter how generous I am, I feel hated. I thought, don’t ask me to make a fuss, otherwise we will settle the accounts slowly. At that time, if you kneel down and beg for mercy and call on ancestors, it will be useless.

I thought about it for a while, hated it for a while, and started to worry again.

What are you worried about?

Worry about his son Yuzhu, and worried about his mother Sier.

What can be done with the mother and son without themselves? So let's not talk about Sier, even if they come out, they will have to suffer some flesh and blood. But the flesh and blood is only temporary. What is really worrying about is what to do in the future? If you can go out, it's easy to say anything. It's just to demote to the common people. With your own ability, you can still protect the mother and the mother. But I'm afraid... If there is a real thing, what should I do? Sier... hates her

There are too many people. Not to mention outside, the Tong family can't spare her. Yuzhu's child... is a member of the Tong family, and it is impossible for the clan to ignore it. He is also a little lucky at this moment. This child is not like him and Sier. He has grown up and has never been kind to others and has never been angry with anyone. I hope that these people who have deceived him can protect him for his sincerity... Thinking of it, his eyes turned red and his nose was sore, but he didn't expect that Tong Sanye would be today.

"Third Master!" Just as he was thinking, the door of the prison cell was snapped and the prison started to give food.

The situation in the prison is not bad. Each bed, one table and one chair, the bedding is neatly arranged, and there is a custard under the bed. Someone came to clean it that day. Before entering, a pair of shoes and socks on his body had to be replaced with the clothes prepared in the prison. There is nothing else about this clothing. Just put it on the upper body, and don’t need a long belt to wear the lower body, and the pants are not long. It is said that it is to prevent the prisoner from hanging. In short, it is the kind that he should not die and cannot die.

In the past, people in this prison were not regarded as human beings, and they would be bullied no matter how hard they were. Now these prisoners dare not, for fear that any one of them would be killed by the death. If they die, they would be implicated.

The prisoners also complained before that they could get some oil and water from it before, but now the emperor ordered it and no one dared to commit crimes against the wind. However, it was also beneficial, because the emperor immediately ordered again. Those at the bottom of the yamen like them used to describe their people as the lowest-ranking officials. The emperor said he would recognize their identities. Now they looked at those officials and received their salary from the state on a monthly basis. But the same goes for a rule after receiving the salary. This is understandable! The more money they gave and the more secure it, the key is to go out and receive respect.

Therefore, in order to keep a job, one is more dedicated than the other when working.

"Third Master!" The prisoner showed great respect to Longkodo, "It's time to have a meal."

Longkodo got up and really thanked the emperor for this imperial edict that many people did not understand at the time. Otherwise, there would be no treatment now.

The prison head handed in a dish, rice and soup, "You use it slowly, I'll collect the bowl afterwards."

Longkodo took the pretty clean meal and laughed: "I know that all the people you are not named or surnamed, but it's more worrying, I won't seek death. Don't be so careful!"

The prison chief laughed and dared not speak, so he slowly stepped down.

There is a saying that Mr. Tong is right. It doesn’t matter to the nameless people here. Like Lord Ma Qi now, he is prominent. He was also here before. But what happened later? He should be a high-ranking official and a high-ranking official, and he should be a high-ranking official and a high-ranking official. You said that if he made things difficult for others at that time, and when he went out, he would really not know how he died.

With this lesson, those who work here are alert. Those who have signs of going out dare not offend them. Those who serve them like serving the old man dare not be vague at all. Those who have no signs of going out will also get points when they are divided. Some people who can't see that they are beheaded and the house is just in front of them, and they are just waiting for the judgment. If you catch these people hard, you will lose this shop after passing this village. Of course, this is the past, and I really dare not! Those who can't go out have a high-ranking official before, and they are also high-ranking officials and nobles. People pay attention to a scholar who can kill him or not be humiliated. What if someone is not satisfied with his death? What if he loses his job?

This Mr. Tong is locked up here, and he can't go out. Some say he can't go out. He will definitely not go out. When he comes into the first day of the Lunar New Year, he must be so angry that he moved! Some say that it may not be. After all, the relationship between the Tong family and the royal family is very close. The emperor's grandmother is the daughter of the Tong family, and the emperor's adoptive mother is also the daughter of the Tong family. With such a strong relationship, how could he take the life of someone else? Since he can't take his life, even if he goes out, he will be a descendant of the Tong family. It seems like he is playing with these little minions. They each have their own opinions and have their own reasons.

Anyway, no matter what happens in the end, the prison boss will do his duty well. As for the future, it is true that you can't take advantage of it and don't lose your errands.

My colleague carefully took a sip of wine, and when he saw the prison leader come out, he asked, "I really serve you like a master."

Do you dare not?

Seeing his colleagues carefully stuffing the wine pot, he waved his hand quickly, "I really don't like this." The above said a long time ago, don't drink when you are on a job, and don't be a job when you are on a job. People say what they do, and at least they don't make any mistakes without asking for credit.

My colleagues were not surprised, and knew that this was an honest man. After putting the wine pot in, he immediately came over and whispered: "I tell you, we two brothers took the opportunity to say that we could still make a fortune."

The prison head waved his hand quickly, "Brother, I have parents, brothers and children in my family to raise. I really don't dare to make mistakes." This errand can prevent a family of more than a dozen from starving to death. How dare I be careless?

My colleague stared at him with a look of regret, "If you do this, you will be poor if you are not as good as the sky! A horse has no night grass, and a person has no wealth, you should understand this principle." The more he said, his voice became lower, "Don't just stare at this acre of three-point land all day, and listen to the things outside. Now it's lively outside. You don't know, the Master Tong San you are serving now..." As he said that, he laughed, "That's really a betrayal of everyone!"

The prison chief was surprised. He really didn't know about this, "What's wrong?" He didn't do anything like this!

"The son sued him for his condonation of his concubine's abuse of his wife, causing his wife to be persecuted to death."

"Brothers sued him for disobedience, and his parents were angry to death because he was overly indulged in the supervision of his concubine's concubine... "

"The concubine's mother told him that she would not fulfill her responsibility for supporting her and indulged her concubine to bully them..."

"My sister-in-law sued him for indulging his concubines in disrespect for family rules and etiquette, and used her concubine to suppress the legitimate..."

Lin Yutong read the memorials one by one and told the general content to the Fourth Master who was resting with his eyes closed, "It's really a wall that falls down and everyone pushes it..." He pulled down a pile of memorials in his hand, all of which were sent by the Tong family. She frowned, "But it's not nonsense. Longkodo is really good to Li Sier..." Just as Longkodo's brothers and sister-in-law wrote in the letter, at Longkodo's father's funeral, "The funeral sacrifice is as usual", welcoming the official of the Interior Department who sent the emperor to handle the funeral was not Longkodo's wife, but her concubine Sier. They were not fools, and they could not understand the meaning of Longkodo's actions? Obviously, he was deliberately! For what? It was to show and show Sier's status, Sier at that time regarded himself as a wife and fulfilled his obligation of "children".

Thinking of this, she frowned again and took out a note from it. "This is interesting..." and then handed it to the Fourth Master directly.

The Fourth Master took it and glanced at it. It turned out to be related to the previous corruption case in Jiangnan.

Wu Cunli's case is still under investigation, but from what Li Xu took the initiative to reveal and combined with the evidence found, it can basically be confirmed that Wu Cunli has been bribing prominent officials in the court from the Kangxi period to the first year of Yongzheng for his career, and has given a total of 226 people, up to more than 443,000 taels. Among them are Orondee, A Linga, Su Nu and his son. In addition, the eunuch Wei Zhu, who was around the emperor, and the eunuch He Yuzhu, who was around Jiuye, were also among them. It can be said that the ministers of various departments were reported to officials.

Wu Cunli took care of all the eunuchs in the palaces of the third master, eighth master, ninth master, tenth master, twelfth master, sixteenth emperor, all the eunuchs in the palaces of the late emperor. Longkodo accepted 12,000 taels of silver and served him. This person said in the memorial in detail, saying that these were Sier's ideas. What Sier said next, what Longkodo said, how Longkodo reacted, etc., was just like listening under the windows of the two people. If this person really said, Longkodo could be considered "follow his command, not disobeying the color."

The Fourth Master dug out the last signature of the memorial, "...Kuadai! It turned out to be him..."

This person has to be dissatisfied with Longkodo, so he is so worried that he can stare at him day and night.

However, it can be seen from here that it is not unreasonable for Li Sier to be secretly involved in Longkodo. When it comes to being bold and treacherous, he is better than Longkodo.

Lin Yutong was holding some reports about Li Sier and the Eighth Concubine. In addition, some reports were related to the eunuchs around Jiu Ye... If the Fourth Master could not tolerate the Eighth Master and Jiu Ye, these two reports alone would be enough to take Longkodo's life. What do you want to do with the Fourth Master's political enemies?

"How to deal with it?" She put the memorial down and asked the Fourth Master. To be honest, it is not an exaggeration to deal with Longkodo. Li Sier should be cut into pieces. But if you really do what you want, where should you put the national law?

The Fourth Master looked at Lin Yutong and could not see her unwillingness. He smiled and pointed to the notes, "This matter is simple and simple. Calculate how much money Longkodo has greedy for this remark. According to this amount, the Tong family will just take the silver!"

Where can the Tong family take out such a large amount?! Who is in the hands of the silver? Longkodo is afraid that not all they know, but Li Sier, 80% of them are in Li Sier's hands. The Tong family can't get the silver, so it's unrealistic to find Longkodo. All they can find is Li Sier who is still in prison. For the Tong family, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. It's not a big deal to want to go in and out of the prison to see a prisoner privately.

As for how the Tong family will treat Li Sier, this is indeed worth looking forward to.

So this person is bad.

"Not everything has to be done by yourself." The Fourth Master said that Lin Yutong.

But it's better to do it yourself!

After receiving the notice from the yamen, Kuadai almost went crazy. It sounds very nice to say that the Tong family’s family will not be defiled and will not come to the door.

What's the meaning?

Isn't that the house will be searched, and you will make up for the money yourself. If you have this problem, you will be overturned.

Is this a good thing?

When the old and young men of the whole clan gathered together, they all said that this was a good thing. The Tong family did the crime of killing the nine clans and did not implicate the entire clan. As long as all the illegal income was handed over, this was not considered lenient or lenient. If the person did not turn in, this was a good thing.

I was just happy and finally no longer afraid of moving my head, and the problem arose.

What's the problem?

Money problem!

That's right, if a person can't live anymore, what do you need to pay?

But now people live now, money cannot be lost. Longkodo is the one who embezzles it. Why does his family have to pay back the money? This is not the case! Besides, even if the Tong family takes it out, it can't be taken out even if they are cleaned up!

This has been divided, and the number of people in Zhibian Manman has grown, and some of the relationships are far away. There are also poor and rich people here. Who should take more and who should take less? It is not fair to divide it. As soon as it was proposed, everyone cried and wanted to fight. Anyway, they just didn't want to pay money.

As they were arguing, they were all aiming at Yue Xinga and Yuzhu.

Yue Xing'a was very straightforward, "The things at home are there. All of them are left to the tribe." As he said that, he looked at Yuzhu, who was pale and waiting for him to speak.

What can he say?

This silly child is still confused. He eavesdropped on his brother's talk to his sister-in-law and knew that there was a order to avoid death, and then secretly took things into the palace. But entering the palace was different from what he heard. My mother was not rescued, and Ama was trapped in. He couldn't figure out what was going on. When he came back, he wanted to ask his elder brother, did you deliberately talk to his sister-in-law and let me hear it? But looking at his elder brother's concerned face, he didn't ask. Now that the elder brother said that he would take out all the things in the family and hand them over to the clan to deal with, what can he say? That family was inherited by the elder brother.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he shrank back with some timidity, "I...I...I listen to my elder brother!"

Yue Xinga grabbed Yuzhu and blocked everyone's view of Yuzhu, "Everyone knows what my younger brother is like. Don't make things difficult for a child. If everyone thinks it's not enough, we brothers will move out of the house and move to my wife's dowry house. The rest will be arranged by the elders."

Kuadai looked at Yue Xing'a and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Yue Xing'a's wife is the concubine's daughter in the family, and there is not much dowry. A hundred acres of farmhouse, a second yard in the outer city, and some clothes and ornaments, which are packed with 800 taels of silver. Now they are probably used up. Yue Xinga has carefully saved up a sum of silver over the years, but he himself has a son to marry a wife and a daughter to get married, and the money is at the back. Now he still has to raise a younger brother who has not been married, and it is hard to say what life will be in the future.

But if they didn't do this, their lives would be uneasy. The tribe members who paid the money would have an objection to them. In this way, even the tribe's protection would be gone. Life would only be more difficult. He was so honest, how could the tribe blame him? At most, how could he get such a mama? I sympathized with avoiding the dilemma, which was a good thing for them.

After thinking about this, he didn't say anything, so the matter was settled.

The next day, Yue Xinga came out of the house with his wife and children, together with Yuzhu.

Kua Dai had some feelings for Yue Xing'a's nephew, "Don't be busy, in addition to your wife's dowry, there is also your mother's dowry. It's unreasonable that your mother was tortured to death, and the dowry would have to fill the holes for those two cut into pieces."

As soon as these words were said, no one dared to object. How could the Tong family not know at all what Hesheli suffered in the Tong family? It was just that my mother couldn't control Longkodo, so who could control it? Left turned a blind eye and sighed pitiful.

Seeing that no one objected, Kua Dai asked her wife to take out the old account book and find the dowry of Hesheli in the past. The Hesheli family was also very prominent and so prominent? Even if it was Yuanzhi, they lived a good life. The Tong family was married, and they gave them a lot of gifts. Many dowries, such as cloth, medicinal materials and spices, were not found. Kua Dai's wife listed it and asked to find new ones from Curry to match. Some people in the clan muttered, saying that Hesheli could not use them at all?

"Where did it be used?" Mrs. Kuadai followed and squirted. She didn't even have freedom, who would use it?

At this time, moving some for Yue Xing'aduo is to move more for his niece. He has already cheated on the child and can't really help without helping him, otherwise his parents' family will not be able to go back.

When someone came out, there was no sound below.

The ornaments and other things were all placed in the warehouse, and they were taken out and asked to take them away. Some of the exquisite ones were placed in the original yard of Hesheli, and the yard had been sealed for a long time. Now they were taken apart and moved out. The appearance was also good. Finally, the decorations were almost all found in Li Sier's private warehouse. They also found a shop and a deed of a farmhouse, all of which were listed on the dowry list. There was also a box of 2,000 taels of silver, and Kuadai also called it.

Yue Xing'a didn't rush to take it, just said, "My mother still lived in the mansion for five or six years."

It means that things will definitely be depleted in the past five or six years, and some of the money will definitely be spent. These should be deducted from these two thousand taels.

Without waiting for others to speak, Kuai Dai said, "If you have to calculate this, you will still lose money if you give it to you like this. Don't forget how much profit will be in the 20 years of this farm and the shop."

I originally thought that Kua Dai was biased against Yue Xing, but this is indeed the case. The Tong family had no rules, so others dared not be careless. Especially because they were prominent back then, many people now cannot get out of the clan that was so arrogant. They are so arrogant that they are so noble. They can't be greedy for the dowry of women.

So Yue Xing'a got much more this time than Yuanxiang expected.

It was only today that Yuzhu knew something from the words of these people, such as the death of his mother!

Sitting in the carriage with Yue Xinga, Yuzhu's face was pale, "I'm sorry, brother..."

Yue Xinga shook his head and then sighed, "It's all the grudges of the previous generation, and it has nothing to do with you."

Yuzhu's head lowered even lower, he was not stupid! He was really not stupid! He knew vaguely that this time the matter must be related to the elder brother. He trusted the elder brother, but the elder brother lied to him and did not ask, but it did not mean that he was stupid and didn't mind at all. He just didn't dare to ask, afraid of the answer. No need now, so what if it was the elder brother? His mother died and was killed by his mother.
To be continued...
