My father-in-law is Kangxi

The third elder brother and the fifth elder brother came out after lunch at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Brother Ninth is also preparing to go home.

Gao Yanzhong and Zhang Baozhu were both there. One of them was keeping an eye on the funeral at Prince Jian's mansion, and the other was in charge of the daily affairs, which was just right.

After leaving the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the ninth elder brother went to the right and left the palace through Xihua Gate. The third elder brother and fifth elder brother went through the Meridian Gate.

A few steps after leaving the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the fifth elder brother stopped on the corridor and looked towards the direction of Qianqing Palace.

Third Brother said: "Su Nu should have returned from the imperial palace."

The fifth elder brother nodded and followed the third elder brother out of the palace and back to the Yamen of the Zongren Mansion.

Sonu did come back, but with a sad face and was distracted.

When the third elder brother saw this, he asked curiously: "Are you... being punished? Is the Khan Ama angry and demanding a serious punishment?"

Su Nu looked a little weird, took the folding book at hand and handed it to Brother San.

It was the summary of the crime that several of them had jointly given before about the Aling'a case, followed by the royal pen and Zhu's approval, which was "accurate".

The third elder brother was speechless and said: "Aling'a's eldest son is only twelve years old, and the remaining ones are even younger. How can he be lost?"

The fifth elder brother asked in confusion: "Didn't the third elder brother add this point?"

Third Brother explained: "This is for Khan Amma to show favor. When it comes to the children, there is no need to show favor to Aling'a and his wife. If not, we will only discuss the sins of Aling'a and his wife. Wouldn’t it be easier for them to reduce the waiting list?”

The fifth elder brother glanced at the third elder brother.

Unexpectedly, the third brother, with a smile on his face, directly blocked the life of Aling'a and his wife, and his tactics were quite cunning.

His surprise was written on his face, and the third elder brother could only explain the reason, saying: "If you dare to attack the emperor's grandson of each government, you must be severely punished. You cannot set a precedent, otherwise the government will not stop in the future. , There is a person who can commit a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days."

The fifth elder brother nodded and said: "It would be better to dispose of the children and grandchildren as well. It will make people remember it longer."

The third elder brother looked at Sonu and knew why he smiled bitterly.

The emperor's father did not give him any grace and just dealt with it like this. That clan will take the blame.

Worse than his wife and children.

Wu Yashi was involved in this and was not innocent, but the way the sons and daughters of the government were treated seemed miserable.

Unless the bannermen were exiled to Ning Guta for such serious crimes, they would be exempted from punishment for ordinary crimes.

The adults of the Niu Hulu family are going to be executed, and only their children are exiled to Ninggu Pagoda. How can these children survive?

Outsiders dare not criticize the emperor, and they must not say that he is not a good person in the clan's mansion.

The third elder brother also has some numb claws.

This sect's residence is a yamen, and everyone does not shy away from others when speaking. It is unlikely that the outsiders will know that he added this clause.

It seems like he is going to take the blame!
The third elder brother felt a little unfair.

But when he thought about the favors owed to him by the ninth and tenth elder brothers, he felt that it was not too much of a disadvantage.

The fifth elder brother didn't say anything, he just left the clan mansion. When he arrived at Qipan Street, he paused.

Do you want to go to the imperial court to ask about this?

Does Khan Amma know about this?

Is it useful to reveal this matter?
From the time he could remember, he had seen the emperor's father's preference for the prince. Not to mention him, he was self-aware. Even with the ninth and eighteenth princes, he was not as important as the prince alone.

Soetu...

What can make Aling'a die is the death of the royal bloodline, so what is it that makes Suo'etu and his son die?
Khan Ama also feels a little bit sad for Brother Eleven, right?
So what if we just clean up the Hesheli family?

As long as the prince ascends the throne, the honor that has been deprived of the Hesheli family will be doubled.

If you want the Hesheli family to truly fall, you can only hope that the prince will no longer be the prince.

The fifth elder brother lowered his head and turned around, his steps a little heavy...

At the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Ninth Prince got out of the car, followed by He Yuzhu, holding two bamboo baskets in his hands.

One was filled with winter jujubes and the other was filled with persimmons, both of which had just come on the market. I saw them when I was passing by Di'anmen Street, so I bought some of each.

After entering the house, Brother Ninth went to the upper room. He Yuzhu called a boy in the concierge and ordered: "Wash one portion and send it to Ning'an Hall, and wash another portion and send it to the upper room."

The boy took it, took it, and went to the dining room.

He Yuzhu went to a small courtyard in front of the West Road, which was reserved for several eunuchs by Brother Jiu.

The eunuchs who followed him out of the mansion were all old men from the Second House, but in terms of age, they were all a few years older than the ninth elder brother, and it was still early for them to leave the mansion to be raised.

Only Cui Nanshan, the eunuch in charge of the second house, is in his fifties. Nowadays, he only works in name. He usually stays in the auxiliary courtyard behind the prince's house and rarely comes to the house.

Thinking about Brother Jiu's previous instructions, He Yuzhu went back to his room to freshen up briefly, then went to the dining room, taking a portion of persimmons and winter dates to Cui Nanshan's yard at the back.

The sun is shining right now, and it's warmer outside than inside.

Cui Nanshan was wearing a new cotton waistcoat, sitting on a reclining chair, squinting in the sun. There was a black myna on the bird stand at hand.

"Please greet me, Master, please greet Fu Jin..."

Cui Nanshan is playing with the birds.

The black myna tilted his head and said, "Master'an", "Fu Jin'an".He Yuzhu walked a few steps quickly and said, "Can you speak now?"

Cui Nanshan said proudly: "It will be almost ready by the end of the year, just in time for the little masters to play with."

He Yuzhu really wanted to tell him that young masters like bright colors, regardless of whether they talk or not, this dark color is not pleasing to the eye.

But this was the old manager's wish, so he was not disappointed and said: "Fu Jin must also like it. During the northern tour the year before last, Fujin raised birds for a while, but they flew away."

Cui Nanshan looked at the food box in his hand and said, "How come you, little monkey, have time to come here?"

He Yuzhu said: "I picked a few soft persimmons and dates from the persimmons and dates that I asked you to give to your old man."

On weekdays, there is not much food here in the Prince's Mansion. It is either rewarded by Jiu Age or Jiu Fujin.

With a smile on his face, Cui Nanshan said to He Yuzhu: "There are so many masters in the palace. Our master and Fujin are both kind-hearted. From now on, you will do your best and good days are yet to come."

He Yuzhu rubbed a persimmon and handed it to Cui Nanshan with both hands. He rubbed a date himself, took a bite and said: "Looking at your life, I also have hope..."

After finishing a date, He Yuzhu pointed in the direction of the Tenth Brother's house and said: "All the old people from the Tenth Brother's house were taken away in the past few days, and only less than half of them came back... General manager, our second house, the palace Does anyone of these people look suspicious?"

In addition to Cui Nanshan, the eunuchs here also include He Yuzhu and Sun Jin who are on errands next to Brother Nine, Zhou Song who is running errands next to Fujin, Li Yin who is in charge of housekeeping in the front yard, and Cui Baisui who is in charge of the concierge.

Among them, Cui Nanshan was a well-versed eunuch who came out of the Qianqing Palace after the division of the Ninth Prince. He Yuzhu, Sun Jin, and Li Yin were the Haha Pearl eunuchs of the Ninth Age. Zhou Song and Cui Baisui were the replacement eunuchs, and one was the imperial kitchen. Among the handymen, one is a sweeper of the imperial garden.

Among the official women, there are three in the Fujin courtyard and two in the Zhaojia Gege courtyard.

Cui Nanshan shook his head and said: "It's a good idea. The boss's family is based in Shengjing. The capital is not that capable. There is no need to compare with Niu Hulu's family."

Besides, there are only about ten old people in total, and one Yao Zixiao is enough.

My elder brother is just a little elder brother, and he can't stand in the eyes of others.

He Yuzhu felt relieved after hearing this and said: "That's good. If anyone is confused, I'm afraid I'll be sad..."

In the main room of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, the couple were also eating dates.

Winter dates are not big, but they are crispy and sweet.

Shu Shu said: "If you can save this, ask someone to go out and buy a few baskets tomorrow and save it."

The Prince's Mansion has a cellar, which is between the Greenhouse on East Road and Ning'an Hall. The cellar is quite small, as big as two and a half rooms, and can store fresh fruits and vegetables.

Brother Jiu said: "The jujube seller today is from Xishan. I left a deposit and asked them to collect more tomorrow and deliver it directly."

Shu Shu saw that Brother Jiu had eaten four, so he moved the fruit plate away.

Brother Jiu said: "You should also eat less. If you eat it, it will irritate your stomach."

Shu Shu nodded, stopped eating, and said, "Go back and ask Xiaotang to make two jars of wine dates."

Brother Jiu thought of Aling'a's case and told Shu Shu.

Shu Shu wondered: "Are you going to be aborted before you become a man?"

Brother Jiu said: "If an ordinary bannerman commits such a crime, his wife and children will lose their official positions and become slaves of the hero's family. But that is the Niu Hulu family, the great-grandson of the princess, and the descendant of the hero. It cannot be true." Without an official position, everything is light..."

Shu Shu didn't like Aling'a's family, and he felt that Aling'a and his wife deserved their punishment, but if they wanted to send Ning Guta to a group of children, what was the difference between that and direct murder?
But she felt only a little uncomfortable.

Not to mention her, even Brother Jiu had no room to interfere.

Thunder, rain, and dew are all due to your kindness, that's what I'm talking about.

Brother Jiu was not cruel. In April, Santaiji got married. He even went to the palace to have a drink. Thinking about those half-year-old children, he touched his chin and said, "Actually, it's better to send them back to Shengjing to serve the people." Okay, save your life, and stay away from this place in the capital from now on."

Shu Shu glanced at him and said, "You want to intervene?"

Brother Jiu quickly shook his head and said, "Don't interfere..."

Having said this, he paused and said: "If Khan Amma gives grace and allows other Niu Hulu tribe members to raise those few, I will find a way to mention this."

With his status as the tenth prince, he is not afraid of revenge from others, nor does he need to worry about eradicating the roots.

It’s just that the titles of the Eight Banners nobles come and go. If we really want A Ling’a’s sons to stay in Beijing without any guilt, what if the titles are transferred back in the future?
Brother Jiu thought that this possibility should be cut off.

He looked in the east direction and said: "Fourth brother has no friendship with them, but those few who stay in the capital are a little bit older. Whether they are members of the Niu Hulu family or Fourth brother, it's really hard to ignore them." , it will be very awkward then..."

People were coming and going in the Zongren Mansion. Al Ling'a was being interrogated this morning. By the afternoon, almost everyone who was paying attention to the matter had heard the news.

In Yin De's house.

There was a bit of uneasiness on Yin De's face.

When Mrs. Dong saw it, she wondered: "What are you worried about? Even if the evidence of Aling'a and his wife's crime is conclusive, the family has been separated for many years, and I can't be implicated."

On the contrary, can I also think about the vacant first-class male?

If Faka's wife is guilty, the title will not be returned. Then the old man's son will be left with his own father and the fifth master.
Yin De looked at his wife, his face turned pale, and said: "The Shenxing Division detained a lot of people from the tenth prince a while ago, and one of them is the cousin of E Niang..."

Mr. Dong was stunned and said, "Why didn't I mention it before?"

Yin De frowned and said, "It's not too late, Niang. My cousin is a servant of the Duke's mansion. She became the queen's accompaniment and went to the palace as an errand. Later, she became the nanny of the Tenth Master. The Tenth Master divided the mansion and followed her out. Yes, I only found out about this the year before last..."

Half of the people who were detained were released, but the cousin was not there.

Although I don’t know what crime is involved, Yin De feels guilty even if he is not a thief...
