[Qing Chuan] Mu Emperor's Grace

Yongzhen didn't have much expression on his face, he glanced in Agui's direction: "Gui Zhongtang, you scare people."

Ah Gui rubbed his nose embarrassingly, and said to Yongzheng: "This 50 taels of silver bill is a solid evidence of crime, but you want me to lead people to surround the Governor's Mansion tonight, and give him a clean sweep? "

But Yongzhen waved his hand, poured a cup of tea under the moonlight, and drank it slowly: "What's the hurry, since they are some clowns, let them dance more."

Agui now has a preliminary understanding of Yongzhen's methods, and immediately hesitated: "Twelve elder brothers, do you want this?"

Yong Xing suddenly closed the box containing the bank notes, and his expression became more and more serious: "As long as you have the 50 taels in hand, the crimes of Le Erjin, Wang Tingzan and others will not escape, but I don't believe it. There really isn’t even a clean official in Tong Province, Gansu!”

Ah Gui was taken aback, he didn't understand Yong Xin's words: "What do you mean, Brother Twelve?"

Yong Xin tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his eyes closed slightly, as if he had fallen asleep.When Ah Gui thought that he would not answer again, he suddenly heard Yongzheng whisper: "Ah Gui, you have been with Huang Ama for so many years, you don't know what Huang Ama's attitude is in this Gansu case, Before I leave, Huang Ama must have something to tell you."

Hearing this, Agui's face changed suddenly, and he tremblingly said: "This old slave doesn't understand what Brother Twelve means."

Yongzhen saw that he was pretending to be stupid, but he didn't expose it. He just smiled and said, "Ah Gui, if the whole province of Gansu is full of corrupt officials, I will take one if I see one, and one pair if I see two, and I will deal with them all. think?"

This time, Ah Gui seemed to be dumb and didn't answer abnormally, but the girl who was tied to the ground listened carefully with her eyes blinking.

Yong Xing seemed to have expected that Ah Gui would not answer, he said to himself: "The common people will not understand the dirty things in the officialdom, they will only remember that there are so many corrupt officials in Huang Ama's world."

If he hadn't been hiding in the night, Yong Xin would have noticed that Agui's face was pale at the moment, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Yong Xin didn't seem to need any response from others, or maybe he just needed an audience: "Before I came to Gansu, someone told me the word 'serious', but no matter how severe the punishment is, there should always be a limit. If you guessed correctly, before you left, Huang Ama must have given you instructions."

After saying these words, Ah Gui felt that his straight waist was about to be unable to hold on.He heard Yongzheng asking nonchalantly: "What did Huang Ama say, tell me too."

Ah Gui wiped the sweat from his forehead, his buttocks no longer dared to stick to the stool, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, tell this old slave, Brother Twelve is young and vigorous, if he insists on disposing of the corrupt officials from the whole province, The old slave will mediate in order to prevent the situation from getting out of control."

Hongli would tell Agui like this, and Yongzhen somewhat guessed it in his heart, but when he actually heard these words, he still couldn't help feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

He restrained his harsh tone, and personally stepped forward to help Ah Gui up: "Ah Gui, I will not hide it from you today. I must deal with this corrupt official. I would rather kill him by mistake than tolerate it." There was a confident light in his eyes, which made Ah Gui stunned for a moment.

But Yongzhen didn't give him much time to be dazed, he changed the topic: "It's just that we can find other reasons to divert the people's attention."

Agui looked at Yongzheng in puzzlement, but didn't understand the meaning of his words: "The other reason is?"

Yongzhen looked at the bright colors coming in from the window, and said in a gentle voice: "As I said just now, in such a big Gansu Province, it is impossible to find a clean official. If I find such an official, I will invite you Huang Ama vigorously promoted him, just like the lotus flower in the mud. Ordinary people would see the overhang at a glance, and naturally forget that underneath it is a group of people who are rotten to the root. "

Agui looked at Yongzheng in shock. For the first time, he felt that a child who grew up in the deep palace was really too scary. Hearing him say these words in a calm tone, Agui felt chills in his heart. .

The factor of silence spread in the air, Ah Gui did not answer, but the girl who was tied up at the side suddenly spoke, as if mustering up her courage, she said softly: "You two masters."

Yongzheng and Agui looked at her at the same time, Agui was annoyed that she was too careless, and even forgot that there was a woman in the room, but Yongzhen understood that this woman was definitely not as cowardly as she appeared on the surface, her mouth could He was not blocked, and after listening to so many critical words, but he was able to bear it until now before speaking, he must not be shallow-minded.

Yong Xing moved his gaze away without any trace, casually playing with the cup he just used, counting the time in his heart when she would speak, and sure enough, when the count reached three, the woman spoke: "The little girl can't listen to the other words." I understand, but there is one thing, do you dare to ask if the two masters want to find a clean official?"

After hearing this, Ah Gui's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but soften her voice and said, "That's what it means."

After hearing what Agui said, the woman kept staring at Yongzheng, until Yongzheng finally moved her eyes away from the cup, and then continued: "I used to be a girl from Lord Funing's house, and I was living a good life. Yes, one day Mr. Wang came to the mansion, and I was on duty that day, and I was waiting nearby, but I heard Mr. Wang said that he would give Mr. Funing money for maintenance. Good guy, when the red cloth was lifted, it was all in the same color. Xue Huayin, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, the servants would never believe it."

Ah Gui eagerly wanted to know the rest of the text, and immediately asked, "And then?"

The woman paused for a moment, seeing that Yongzheng did not make a sound to stop her, she continued: "Although my lord is not a famous scholar, he is an upright official. I once heard him say that Gansu is not rich at all, and being a parent official in such a place You must live with your own conscience and consider the livelihood of the people."

Ah Gui nodded and said, "That makes sense."

The girl sneered, "That's right, but Mr. Wang doesn't think it's reasonable." The girl gritted her teeth when she said this: "Master Funing didn't want to accept it." The money has also been declined several times, but Mr. Wang insisted on asking him to accept the money. He used various methods of coercion and bribery. Mr. Funing had no choice but to accept the money. As in previous years, the money was saved. No need, I just look forward to the day when a master Qingtian will come down from the capital and he will be able to mend this pierced sky."

Ah Gui frowned and said: "In this way, Funing really has a conscience."

But Yongzhen stared at the woman's figure for a long while, and suddenly asked: "Do you have a festival with that Lord Wang?"

The woman obviously didn't expect him to ask this question, she paused, and said sadly: "Master, look at my current situation, don't you understand? I served in front of Mr. Wang that day, but I was looked at by him when I didn't want to." Come on, he insisted on taking me to his house, Lord Funing had no choice but to send me to Lord Wang, but this servant still misses the old master in his heart."

Yongzhen turned his head and said to Agui: "If I remember correctly, Funing is currently serving as an inspector in Gansu?"

Ah Gui nodded and said: "Yes, when Wang Dan Wang was promoted to be the governor of Zhejiang, he was also promoted for his meritorious service, and now he is the inspector."

Yong Xin closed his eyes and meditated: "Zheng Sanpin, the name is resounding enough, but I don't know the reality."

As soon as this remark came out, the girl became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Everything said by this servant is true, this servant is also in a difficult situation now, and at the same time feels sorry for Master Funing, just now I heard the two masters talk about upright officials, so I felt it .”

This time, Yong Xin couldn't hold back his laughter: "Maybe it's true that you feel sorry for Funing, but if you want to say that life in Leerjin's residence is difficult, I don't think so."

Agui's eyes widened in disbelief, and she said in surprise, "What? She's from Leerjin's house?"

Yong Xing was amused by A Gui's question, he poured a cup of tea unhurriedly, finished it in front of A Gui who was scratching his head, and then said with a smile: "Otherwise, what do you think?"

Ah Gui hesitated: "She, isn't she a girl from Wang Tingzan's house? Didn't she just say that Mr. Wang took her..."

Only halfway through the words, Agui suddenly stopped.He heard Yongzheng say: "Gui Zhongtang, don't forget that there is more than one Lord Wang in Gansu." While speaking, he paused, and then smiled again: "This is not right, it should be said that this Wang Fei King Peter."

Agui realized this time, he couldn't believe it: "You mean, Wang Danwang?"

Yongzhen was not interested in explaining Agui's doubts, he pointed to the girl: "Are you asking her?"

Ah Gui was very dissatisfied with the woman's deliberate behavior of confusing the public, he shouted: "You tell me, who exactly is Mr. Wang referring to?"

This time, the woman lost the courage she had just now, she started to sob, and when Ah Gui saw her tears, he was at a loss immediately.

Yong Xing originally wanted to watch the play on the sidelines, but now he laughed and said: "Gui Zhongtang, Gui Zhongtang, your straight-hearted character really opened my eyes, she has completely grasped your soft spot, and she knows how to shed tears I can fool you in front of you." Ah Gui was choked up by Yongzheng and had no words to refute. Many people know that Gui Zhongtang's white knives go in and red knives go out without blinking his eyes, but he is only afraid of women crying. When the woman shed tears, he was helpless.

Yongzhen put the cup in his hand on the table, but the small sound made the woman tremble, Yongzhen restrained his joking expression, and said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that you met me today, I am not A person who will pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."

Yongzheng waited for a while, seeing that the woman still didn't speak, Yongzheng said: "Since you don't say anything, then I'll ask and you answer."

"How long have you been working for Wang Danwang?" Agui listened to Yongxin's question, but kept her eyes fixed on the woman, for fear of missing a detail.However, the woman seemed to have not heard the question, and just sobbed unceasingly.

Yong Xin nodded: "Then let's change the question. If I put you back today, how do you plan to report to Le Erjin?"

Agui was confused when he heard that, and without waiting for the girl to react, he stopped Yongxin's words: "Wait, Brother Twelve, just wait a moment, you are talking about Wang Danwang now, and Leh later." Er Jin, who is she then?"

Yongzhen said slowly: "Gui Zhongtang, that's true, she not only works for Wang Danwang, but also works for Le Erjin, as for who you said, it depends on what she thinks in her heart." gone."

It's a pity that there is no light at the moment, otherwise Ah Gui would be able to see the girl's pale face and her trembling hands clutching her clothes tightly.

No matter how dull Ah Gui was, he knew that the matter was not easy at this time, he solemnly saluted Yong Xing and said: "This old slave is dull, please tell Brother Twelve."

Yong Xin didn't intend to put on airs at all, he was just a little tired, in the dark night, his voice was gentle and soothing, but what he said made the woman's heart sink to the bottom little by little.

"I remember, what she said just now was that Mr. Wang went to Funing's mansion and took her away, and when she was present, saw Mrs. Wang, and gave Funing snowflakes and silver, Gui Zhongtang , Just think about it, if you were Wang Tingzan and forced Funing to collect money in front of this woman, would you still send her to serve me tonight?"

Agui thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "You mean, the handle?"

Yong Xing nodded and said: "That's right, what she knows is a solid excuse. If she becomes my man tonight, women are always soft-hearted, and if they don't keep it clean, they will tell me the whole thing. Wang Tingzan is not a fool, such a big trick , How could he be easily handed over to me."

One of the knots of confusion in Agui's heart was untied, and he responded, "It's true."

Yong Xing took a sip of tea: "Unless Wang Tingzan didn't know about this, then it indirectly proves that the person who took her away from the Funing Mansion that day was not Wang Tingzan."

Agui asked: "What happened to Nale Erjin?"

Yong Xing took a look at the woman, and now there is nothing to hide, he calmly said: "The one who can take her away from Funing's residence must be the superior of Funing, except Wang Tingzan, In terms of rank, Wang Danwang is the only one left. Wang Danwang was promoted to Governor of Zhejiang, and it stands to reason that all the family and servants should follow, but she stayed. Why?"

Agui shook her head in confusion, and Yongzheng almost laughed at Agui's stupidity: "There are only two possibilities, one is that she was kicked out of Wang Danwang's mansion, but if so, how could she do it today?" Was she sent to my room? So, there is only the second possibility, Wang Danwang sent her to someone else."

Agui only felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and all the confusion was explained in an instant: "You mean, she was sent to Le Erjin, who was the governor of Gansu at the time and is now the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu."

Yongzhen laughed and said, "Gui Zhongtang finally figured it out."

Ah Gui never thought that the identity of a woman could involve so many twists and turns, just hearing what Yong Xin said, his back was already wet with sweat.

"But this old slave still doesn't understand why you said she was working for Wang Danwang and Le Erjin at the same time?"

"Ah Gui, she doesn't necessarily know who I am. Leer knows it very well, but he finally chose to send this woman to my bed. Do you really think that she just looks better, or Is it so simple to use tricks on the bed?"

Yong Xin's blunt words made Ah Gui choke: "If you were Le Erjin, what kind of woman would you dare to send to elder brother's bed?" Seeing that Ah Gui didn't answer for a long time, Yong Xin also knew that she was straight. The person in question has never had such crooked thoughts, and asking him to answer is really embarrassing him.

Yongzhen simply said for him: "The first rule is to keep your family clean. If you send a broken flower and a willow, it's not a joke if you are found out by elder brother and angry. The second rule is this. People must be my confidantes, and they are even responsible for staying by my side, informing Lord Le of the news and inquiring about the news."

Listening to these words, Agui felt that her brain was not enough.However, Yongzheng did not give him time to rest, and immediately said: "A woman who has been brought back to the mansion for so long, but has always been innocent, and can become the confidant of a high-ranking official, such a woman must be a think tank. figure."
