My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1535
There are only a few ways to get in and out of the Forbidden City. Shu Shu and Brother Jiu guessed this, and dozens of people from the Shenxing Department inquired and naturally determined the channels.

Even if they don't want to say it, how many people can survive under the board?
Two days later, the case was cleared up.

How to report damage to old ginseng, how to replace the damaged ginseng with good ones, and how to transport good ginseng out of the palace privately.

Some of the ginseng shipped out of the palace went to the Tong family pharmacy in Nancheng, and some went to the Hesheli family pharmacy.

Since 37, it has also begun to be sold privately in internal and external stores.

Mongolians are rich and generous. Not only the ninth prince knows about this, but others also know about it.

Among the forty people involved in the case, there were nine principals and accomplices who embezzled second-class and third-class ginseng; 12 people who stole fourth-class ginseng and more than a dozen people who followed the orders of the superior and received hush money; and a strange family. Although he also participated in smuggling ginseng out of the palace, he did not replace the stolen ginseng. Instead, he took the Chen ginseng that was reported damaged and took it out of the palace. In order to cover up that he did not replace the ginseng, he also placed his son and nephew in the same class.

You know, this cook can still take two bites of the food to taste the saltiness.

This moisturizing ginseng is not really a big crime.

Du Tu has been in charge of the Criminal Punishment Department for many years, and it's almost the same without severing all relatives.

After the interrogation, he wrote an impartial and truthful report, followed by everyone's confessions, and handed it to the emperor.

This excerpt did not go through the cabinet and the south study room, nor did it go through the main office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Therefore, Kangxi was the first to see this confession.

When Kangxi saw the flow of the medicine shop, he inexplicably thought of the Poria cocos powder in Chengqian Palace.

Did the palace only bring Poria cocos powder?

It wouldn't be surprising if others came out again.

Kangxi tapped his hand on the two pharmacies, wrote a reply, and ordered Zhao Chang to investigate the two pharmacies.

Looking at the quality of the corrupt officials who came out of the interrogation, Kangxi became very calm.

Desire is hard to satisfy. As long as you reach out, your appetite will grow bigger and bigger.

Kangxi didn't feel surprised when he saw something strange.

There are bold people and timid people in this world.

Being timid and seeking self-preservation is not a fault.

As for making a debut, who can have no scruples at all?

According to Kangxi's previous instructions, the nine people who invaded the royal ginseng were executed and their status was expropriated. Their wives and children were exiled to Ninggu Pagoda and became slaves with the armored men. The 12 people who directly stole the fourth-class ginseng and committed crimes that were not serious enough to die were dismissed from office and fined silver. If he was not pardoned, he would be sent to the northwest station to serve; after receiving hush money and allowing others to steal, more than a dozen people were dismissed from office, fined, and sent to the Monan station.

Yuanwailang Zhong Guoding failed to report the information and was dismissed from his post, but remained in office to serve.

There was also the treasurer Li Wen, who was complicit in the crime, but he had a repentant heart and atone for his sins. He was exempted from dismissal and transferred.

Kangxi later approved "approval" and then added that the subsequent disposition should be reported to the Ninth Prince for decision.

By the time Zhezi returned to the Shenxing Division, it was already November [-]th.

Brother Jiu was hesitant, should his illness be cured?
Seeing that it is the twelfth lunar month and I am still sick, it is unlucky.

There are quite a few people who are sick this month, mostly those who have been ill for a long time or are elderly.

Among them, there are several families under the name of the ninth elder brother who have lost their elderly people.

As the master, Brother Jiu also arranged for someone to reward Bai Feng.

There are also people in the clan who complain about illness.

There was an old princess who asked for Korean ginseng, and later there were one or two poor people who came to ask for medicine.

Brother Jiu and Shu Shu were not stingy, nor were they taken advantage of. Besides, if the things they imported were to unfamiliar people, they would not dare to give them away easily to avoid trouble.

The couple had a tacit understanding for a long time. When it came to dealing with clan members, Shu Shu would be red-faced and Jiu Age would be pale.

Brother Jiu refused directly, but asked Cao Shun to take his post and invite the imperial doctor to come and see him.

One family was really poor and had no medicine, so they took them to the drug store to get some medicine; the other family was taking advantage of it under the guise, but they exposed it directly and stopped accepting posts from this family in the future.

"I'd better go to the Yamen..."

Brother Jiu was bored and said to Shu Shu: "The day when Qin Tian Jian took over the seal this year is the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, which is more than half of the month..."

Shu Shu knew that the main reason was that Guang Chuku's case was about to be announced, and Brother Jiu was afraid that others would blame Gao Yanzhong in his absence.

As for the twelfth elder brother, he obediently obeyed the ninth elder brother's instructions and is still recovering from his illness.

The human heart is like this, accustomed to bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Shu Shu said: "Then let's go, but don't use the charcoal stove in the carriage. When it's cold and hot, it's easier to catch a cold."

This modified carriage is suitable for long distances and will prevent people from freezing to the core.

For short distances, it is not very appropriate, and it is inconvenient to add or remove clothes.

Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Well, that's not necessary. A foot stove and a hand stove are enough."

The next day, Brother Jiu resumed his routine and went to the Yamen in the morning.

He also brought a pack of ginseng, this one was for the twelfth prince.

Since Aunt Su Ma drinks ginseng tea, it’s best not to stop.Still going out with the tenth elder brother, the tenth elder brother said: "There have been rumors in the past two days that Gao Yanzhong was showing favoritism and protecting his in-laws, and that he also reached into the tea warehouse..."

Brother Jiu sneered: "Isn't it time to bite me? If you bite Lao Gao on the head, why don't you bite me directly?"

The tenth elder brother smiled and said: "Fortunately, the ninth brother's family property does not have a pharmacy, otherwise I would probably have to be involved."

Brother Jiu said: "The courage of these people, they dare to fish for silver, they dare to fish for ginseng, what else do they dare not fish for?"

The tenth elder brother said: "Ninth brother should submit a letter to punish the Censor Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This should be something that the Censor should be aware of."

After hearing this, Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Yes, those censors are all old censors now. We have to replace them with some young and motivated ones..."

When they arrived at Xihua Gate, the brothers separated.

The ninth elder brother directly ordered Sun Jin to say: "Send the ginseng to the fifth place and tell the twelfth elder brother that I will start sitting in the office today. If he wants to come, he will come. If he wants to rest for a few days, he will continue to raise it."

Sun Jin went in response.

Brother Jiu took He Yuzhu into the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the yard, I heard someone scolding: "Gao Yanzhong, you have lost your conscience! You worry about irrelevant people, but you don't recognize the serious brother-in-law!"

Next came Gao Yanzhong's voice, saying: "Chen Kuzhang, this is our yamen, you can pass!"

The man added: "I know you held a grudge because of Gao Bin's marriage two years ago, but it's been several years now. Is it true that this relative can't do anything? That's your nephew and son-in-law, and you don't protect him. This is I want to see your niece become a widow!"

Brother Jiu had a dark face and couldn't listen at the door, so he walked directly into the yard.

In addition to Gao Yanzhong and a laid-back old man, there were also a few people watching the excitement in the yard.

When they met Brother Jiu, everyone stopped and said hello.

"Ninth Master..."

Gao Yanzhong looked ashamed.

Brother Jiu ignored him and just looked at the old man: "Who are you and where do you work?"

The old man was in his fifties, and his clothes were full of wrinkles. He was sultry and said: "My servant, my servant is Chen Dashou, the deputy treasurer of the Sixth Department of Internal Manufacturing..."

Brother Ninth sneered: "Okay, why do you think you are such a big deal? You dare to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and roar, but you turn out to be a low-ranking deputy treasurer!"

The old man was so frightened that he couldn't stand still and knelt down with a "pop".

Brother Jiu casually called out a pen note and said: "Just one note. I am old and confused. I have violated the rules. I am yelling at the Yamen. I have offended the superior officer. I will be dismissed from the position of deputy treasury!"

The post was answered with a crisp voice.

Brother Jiu glared at Gao Yanzhong, turned around and entered the check-in room.

Gao Yanzhong followed up with a blushing face and said: "Master Jiu, this slave is in the wrong and should have been sent away long ago!"

Brother Jiu was angry and said, "I don't understand this very well. Why are you so soft just now?"

Gao Yanzhong did not defend himself, but replied truthfully: "There are some rumors about the slaves outside, which are all fabricated. Regarding the case of Guangchusi, the slave did not help anyone, but he did inquire about the neighbor Zhong family. The Chen family and the slave My family broke up early, and I didn’t go to the servant’s house this time. I didn’t expect to come directly to the Yamen today.”

When Brother Jiu heard this surname, he thought about the brother-in-law the other party mentioned, and said, "Is this the brother-in-law of yours who wants to tell Gao Bin about your pregnant niece?"

Gao Yanzhong nodded and said: "It was him. It was also because of this that the two families broke up."

Brother Jiu looked at Gao Yanzhong and said, "Then why don't you show off your momentum and still allow people to be so rude?"

Gao Yanzhong said in shame, "My servant made a mistake at the moment."

It turns out that the Chen family's daughter married into the Baoyi Wang family, and the Chen family's son-in-law was none other than the grandson of Wang Youde, the crown prince's doctor.

Although the Wang family has been separated, this son-in-law has become the tea storekeeper this year and is one of the forty people involved.

Brother Jiu sneered: "Don't tell me, you are soft-hearted and can't bear with your relatives. If you really want to do that, go home as soon as possible. How to be a good doctor, learn everything you can, don't ruin your future!"

He thought Gao Yanzhong was good and was willing to praise Gao Yanzhong.

But if Gao Yanzhong is confused, he doesn't have to use Gao Yanzhong.

There is also Dong Dianbang who is promising.

Gao Yanzhong noticed Brother Jiu's impatience and said regretfully: "It was because the slave had a little thought to save him from his errand, so as not to cause trouble in the future, so he didn't expel him immediately and disrupt the order of the yamen. "

Brother Jiu's expression softened a little, and he looked at Gao Yanzhong and said, "You have already shown your face in front of the emperor. As long as you obey the rules, you will have a bright future; but if you want to be a good person, your future will be over."

Whether it's Yu Qian or Ninth Brother, a person who can be trusted is definitely not an all-rounder.

Especially for an office like the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where everyone can be related to it, only by being a "evil person" can it stand for a long time.

Gao Yanzhong said sternly: "Don't worry, Master Jiu, there won't be another time."

Brother Jiu said: "It's embarrassing this time. It's a joke. Where will your dignity be in the future? Go find someone to write it down. If you mishandle things, you will be fined half a year!"

Gao Yanzhong responded quickly and stepped back respectfully.

Brother Jiu did not tell him the result of Guangchusi's case, but fell into deep thought...
