My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1532 Fear (rolling and asking for monthly votes)

We had dumplings for lunch, dumplings with four kinds of fillings.

Brother Jiu had a fever and his appetite had decreased a lot. He drank another bowl of dumpling soup with a lot of pepper. There was not much room left in his originally hungry belly, so he ate a few pork, sauerkraut and dumplings, and then gave up. Got off the chopsticks.

The imperial physician arrived and took a pulse.

Brother Jiu drank ginger soup and hot and sour soup again, and he was sweating a lot. He also held a snuff bottle in his hand, which looked fine.

The imperial doctor made some inquiries and made a diagnosis. It was a case of cold and heat, plus some internal dryness. He prescribed a prescription to induce sweating to dispel cold and reduce heat. Coptis chinensis was three points more than the usual prescription for wind-cold.

Brother Jiu looked at Fang Zi and glared at the imperial doctor: "So many coptis? Are you going to suffer death?"

This imperial doctor also often came to the Ninth Prince's Mansion. He knew who was in charge and looked at Shu Shu next to him.

Shu Shu also knew that Brother Jiu was afraid of hardship. He took a look at the prescription and asked the imperial doctor: "Licorice can also treat cold and sore throat. How about adding some licorice?"

The imperial doctor shook his head and said: "That's for Shaoyin syndrome. Lord Jiu, this is just ordinary wind and cold..."

Shaoyin syndrome, when wind evil enters the body, is severe.

Shu Shu respected professionalism. After hearing this, he looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Good medicine is bitter, but I insist on persisting."

Brother Jiu put Fang Zi down and said, "How about I take a nap first to sweat, then I can't tell."

Shu Shu didn't answer, and signaled Zhou Song to take the tea envelope and send the doctor out.

The Prince's Mansion also has a small pharmacy with a full range of common medicines.

Shu Shu then told Bai Guo: "Remember the doctor's instructions and boil three bowls of water into one bowl."

Ging Guo agreed and went down.

The ninth elder brother said helplessly: "I'm really confused. Even if you want to check the tea warehouse, you can just send someone there. Why don't you go there in person and stay for an hour and a half? Hey, why are you so diligent? It's not like that. Damn it!"

Shu Shu boasted: "I am responsible and responsible. I knew it would involve a lot, so I went alone."

Brother Jiu proudly said: "This is so kind of me. I don't want to let Twelve and the old high-top tank! I can see it. Those grandsons of the Ministry of Internal Affairs don't have a long memory and are used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If I stand in the way, it will be in vain for them to hold grudges." Hold a grudge, if it were Twelve and Lao Gao, they might secretly retaliate, which is not a good thing!"

Shu Shu said: "Yes, no matter what people outside say, everyone around me knows that I am sincere and can protect those around me..."

Brother Jiu glanced at Shu Shu. He didn't think so at first, but now that there are three siblings like Feng Sheng, he could see that Shu Shu was trying to coax the child.

On weekdays, when Shu Shu is in front of his children, he always praises them when everything is fine.

But after leaving Ning'an Hall and the back building, Shu Shu often complained in front of him that Ni Guzhu was stupid, Fengsheng was careless, and Akdan would bully his brother.

By coaxing him in front of him and behind his back, does he also tell the county boss that he is not good?

Are you a child yourself?

He is a man!

Brother Jiu felt that there was no need to argue with women and should be more generous, so he accepted Shu Shu's compliment and became proud, saying: "It means that I have such courage and decisiveness, and caught Guang Chusi off guard, otherwise he would have been slower, it's hard to say All the evidence has been transferred. Catch the thief. Several kilograms or more of ginseng. If you are on guard, just hide it."

Shu Shu said: "I asked the emperor to arrange for the ministers on duty and the ministers in charge of the courtyard before. Is it time for the emperor to appoint people this time?"

That is a one-year official position, and he is a person with high trust in the imperial court. He will not be greedy for such small profits for the sake of his future.

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "It's time to order people a long time ago. There are six ministers, as well as the princes and bachelors who supervise the ministries!"

In this way, no official of any ministry can cover the sky with just one hand.

Shu Shu said: "Then I hope it will be earlier. If there is such a thing that uncovers the cover in the future, I won't have to personally go into battle."

Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "I have discovered that it is not that scary to face Bao Yi. Each family has its own future. There is not as much unity as I imagined. It doesn't matter if the old brand collapses. We are helping other families." The bottom line is, just don’t let them all work together, people will die for wealth and birds will die for food, two peaches will kill three people, this routine will always work.”

Shu Shu said: "If something like this happened, the Holy Emperor will leave the palace tomorrow. Will the schedule change?"

Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "Probably not. It's such a small thing and it won't delay the schedule. There is a big court tomorrow, so it's good for me to just recuperate, so as not to go over to schedule a shift in the cold weather..."

Shu Shu felt that the secret of Brother Jiu's trouble with Baozi could not be kept secret.

Even if "escape from illness" is just hiding one's ears and stealing the bell, no one is a fool.

This time, there was no one to top the tank. From the time Brother Jiu ordered people to count the quantity of ginseng reserves, until today when the attack occurred, Brother Jiu was in the lead.

When people enter the house later, the investigation must be more detailed, otherwise who knows if any family will blame the ninth elder brother for their grudges...

Before dinner, Xi Nuan Pavilion saw Brother Jiu's pulse report and the prescription given by the imperial doctor.

Seeing the excessive amount of coptis, Kangxi felt more comfortable.

Should!
If you don't stop all day long, you should drink medicinal soup!
It can be considered a bit of filial piety to think that the various ministries in Khalkha were squandering the court's money and planning to make money from Khalkha.

Kangxi's mood was a bit complicated.

If the ginseng case hadn't happened, Brother Jiu's plan would have been impossible.

The intention was good, but I didn't expect that there was a nest of moths hiding in the teahouse.

When it was time to turn on the lamp, Zhao Chang came over, holding in his hand the copy and inspection booklet of officials from the teahouse of Guangchusi.

Kangxi took it and looked at it. The first one was the doctor in charge of the tea warehouse. He was not from the Ministry of Revenue, but a doctor from Baoyi Sanqi. 5000 taels of silver were found at home.

This kind of evil situation will only be led by Bao Yi.

How dare a doctor from the Six Divisions dare to do this?
Among Beijing officials, being a top-ranking doctor is nothing, but in the House of Internal Affairs, being a top-ranking doctor is second only to the director of the House of Internal Affairs.

5000 taels of silver is not much.

Looking at the back, I found 25 kilograms of ginseng, twenty kilograms of fourth-grade ginseng, four kilograms of third-grade ginseng, and one kilogram of second-grade ginseng.

This is just one person!
Kangxi looked at this amount and his face was so gloomy that it could drip.

Third-grade ginseng and above are not sold outside at all. They are only available in the palace. They are only supplied to the masters in the palace. No one below the concubine is qualified to use third-grade ginseng.Second-class ginseng is only supplied to Qianqing Palace and Ningshou Palace!

Kangxi looked back and saw that ginseng was also found in the inspections of Yuan Wai Lang, Treasurer, Deputy Treasurer and others.

One of the treasurers was having lunch at home, which was stewed chicken with ginseng; another, a foreign minister, was marrying his daughter, and the dowry he prepared for his daughter included four pounds of four-grade ginseng.

The Shen Xing Department was copying and interrogating at the same time, and even detained a few of the Treasury envoys and Bi Tie Shi below.

The pen post type records the incoming and outgoing accounts, and the treasury envoy also collects ginseng. It cannot be said that they are all attracted by the superiors, but there are also many people who follow the soup.

When it comes to money, we don't dare to use outsiders. Most of the people involved are descendants of clan members or in-laws.

You must know that the imperial court has rules for official recusal to prevent speculation. Among them, it stipulates that relatives should recusal. Fathers and sons, brothers, uncles and nephews cannot serve in the same government office to prevent corruption.

The Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not avoid the system.

Because in the early years when I was outside the customs, there were several people who were responsible for a department's practices, and they did not change after entering the customs.

Therefore, the various yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were secretly divided into territories.

Just like the imperial dining room, the Ma family, the Wuya family, the Zhang family and the Wei family divided the imperial dining room among the four families. Almost all the officials in the imperial dining room were controlled by the children of the four families.

Guangchusi is no exception. The treasury envoys involved in the case are either the nephew of the doctor or the in-laws of the foreigner.

Today, the Criminal Investigation Department arrested a total of about forty people involved in the case, all of whom were related by relatives.

Kangxi looked at Zhao Chang and said: "Anything involving imperial objects will be punished as a crime of gross disrespect. The principal and accomplices are guilty of the same crime and will be deported. His wife and children will be sent to Ninggu Pagoda to be slaves with the armored men. Other crimes of embezzling ink will not lead to the death of the deceased." Officer, fine me silver and send it to the station for service!”

Zhao Chang agreed.

Kangxi did not ask him to go down immediately, but pondered for a moment and ordered: "Officials above the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs should check it out. If there is any property with unknown sources, record it, and we will make arrangements when I return to Beijing!"

Zhao Chang said: "Master, I want to go to the Eight Banners Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I still need the master's handwriting..."

Kangxi took up his pen and wrote two lines, stamped it with his personal seal, and handed it to Zhao Chang.

Zhao Chang took it with both hands and stepped back...

In the imperial city, the Gao family residence.

There was silence at the table.

On the dining table were sauerkraut and pork dumplings, as well as a plate of pork head meat and a plate of cabbage with sesame sauce. However, the family of four, three generations, did not raise their chopsticks.

The young man sitting at the bottom lowered his head and had red circles under his eyes.

Next door to the Gao family is the family of Zhong Guoding, a member of the Guangchu Department, who is also an old relative of the Gao family. Last year, the two families changed their posts.

Gao Yanzhong hired Zhong Guoding's second daughter for his youngest son.

Because of the draft, it is not popular for the Banner people to have baby kisses.

However, because the number of beauties required by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is small every year, they are not required to be selected like the Eight Banners beauties.

Those who sign up for their daughters are either from poor families, or their daughters are outstanding and looking for a bright future.

Because Gao Yanzhong has been so popular in the past two years, many wealthy businessmen want to get married to his family.

In order to reduce trouble and offend several families, Gao Yanzhong got engaged to his youngest son. Who would have thought that it would be so small!

When the accounting department was investigating the case, his son-in-law's family was there. Fortunately, he was young and was not involved.

This time Guang Chusi's case involves in-laws again!
Here in the Zhong family, there is no innocence.

Zhong Guoding was one of the three Yuanwailang in charge of the tea warehouse. His eldest son was the treasurer of the tea warehouse, and his nephew was the tea warehouse's Bi Tie Shi.

The Zhong family has been raided, the family has also been sent to the Criminal Investigation Department, and the house has been sealed.

Gao Yanzhong saw his youngest son drooping his head and feeling listless. He sighed and said, "Xiaosan, it was me who harmed you. Don't expect this marriage anymore. The teahouse incident is so big that it has alarmed the emperor. I can't help but There is nothing you can do to hear the news!”

Gao Jue nodded and said, "My son knows that he just feels a little uncomfortable in his heart. Will Er Niu and Aunt Zhong enter Xin Zhe's treasury?"

If that's the case, when he grows up and gets a job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he can still take care of him.

Gao Yanzhong shook his head and said: "No, either he was sent to Ninggu Pagoda, or he was sent to be a slave in the family of a hero, and he will not be allowed to work in the palace again."

Gao Jue is here, only 11 years old. He lies on the table and can't help crying.

Mrs. Li felt sorry for her son, and thought about her old friendship with the Zhong family, and said, "Master, can't you think of a way to help Yi Er? The year when Xiao San was born, he was seriously ill and could hardly afford to live, so Master Zhong sent Er Liang. Ginseng…”

This is also a life-saving grace.

Gao Yanzhong looked at Mr. Li and said, "I have my name in front of the emperor. The more this happens, the more timid I become. I don't even have the courage to go to the prince's palace to ask for mercy!"

If he really entrusted his affair to Ninth Elder Brother, not to mention that he felt sorry for Ninth Elder Brother, even the emperor would not tolerate it.

Grandma Gao Bin was an old man and had experienced the ups and downs of the family. She said to her daughter and grandson: "Even if I miss the love and kindness of the Zhong family, this is not the time to intervene. Since you are on duty in the palace, you must know My duty is to wait until three to five years have passed and think of ways to repay..."

For officials, three ups and downs are nothing.

When the children and grandchildren grow up in the future, they will still be from a good family.

If support is not available, just provide more aid.

Now, there is no benefit except getting stuck in and ruining the future by meddling without knowing the seriousness...

A friend came from Shenzhen and went out in the afternoon. Let’s do this for today.

The next update will be at noon on October 10th.
