Emperor order

There were broken cups and plates all over the ground, it was a mess.

After waking up, Gao Lang slumped against the wall, not daring to look at Yinhu who was lying beside him in a state of embarrassment. "Why?" Gao Lang murmured in pain.

Yinhu bit her lower lip hard so that she didn't faint in embarrassment. "I want you to never forget me for the rest of your life! No matter where you are, you will remember what happened today and how you treated me today." Yinhu replied resolutely.

Gao Lang covered his eyes: "Why don't you let me go, and you too?"

Yinhu said stubbornly: "I will not let go of anything that belongs to me. Maybe you think there is a bad relationship between us. But, I have never regretted it. So, you can't regret it either."

Gao Lang took a deep breath: "Let me ask you one last time, do you still want to fight for that seat?"

Yinhu replied with some hesitation: "I have no choice. What I am responsible for now is not only my own wealth and life. Therefore, I cannot retire."

"That's all! I have to say, you succeeded, and I will never forget you in my life. But that's all." Gao Lang straightened his clothes, then got up slowly, "Now, I can go Bar?"

"I didn't arrange anyone to guard outside at all, you can always leave. You were deceived by me!" Yinhu said with her back to Gao Lang.

Gao Lang's eyes dimmed: "I should have thought of it earlier. Today, you actually lied to me again. Forget it, I won't give you another chance to lie to me."

Hearing Gao Lang's footsteps getting farther and farther away, Yinhu's heart became colder and colder.He didn't stop Gao Lang from leaving, nor did he let Gao Lang see his tearful face.He is the eighth elder brother Yinhu, so he will not use tears to keep this man.If possible, he even wants to send him away with a smile.Unfortunately, he couldn't.

Gao Lang walked on the snowy street, feeling a dull pain in his heart.He didn't like that man's coercive attitude, but he pitied him for his stubbornness when he gritted his teeth and endured his violence.He still can't let go of that person, but he may never explain this sentence to him.Because their fate is already doomed.

After returning to Ruijun Prince's Mansion, Gao Lang didn't stay any longer, and walked out of the gate with his packed luggage.At this time, Cheng Hu was not in the mansion, only Hong Hui saw the back of Gao Lang sprinting.

"Uncle Gao, you're leaving today? Don't you leave in a few days?" Hong Hui held his hand in confusion.

Gao Lang turned around and patted his head: "I can't keep it any longer. When your Ama comes back, tell him for me."

Hong Hui was a little puzzled, because Gao Lang looked as if he had just fought with someone.However, he was smart enough not to ask more questions. "I see, I will explain to Ama. Uncle Gao, be careful on the road." Hong Hui warned carefully.

Gao Lang nodded, then got on the prepared horse and drove away.

Cheng Hu didn't come back until dinner, and after listening to Hong Hui's report, he always felt that something was wrong. "Honghui, you just said that when Gao Lang returned home, he felt like he had just fought with someone?" Cheng Hu asked for details.

Hong Hui nodded: "Uncle Gao's clothes are a little messy, and his hair is not so neat. Moreover, I also found some dirt on his sleeve, which seems to be vegetable soup."

Cheng Hu immediately made up his mind. Could it be that Gao Lang and Yinhu had a disagreement, turned the table over, and then had a fight?If this is the case, Yinhu must have lost miserably!Gao Lang is a master of masters.However, it cannot be ruled out that Gao Lang releases water.After all, Yinhu is not someone else.Forget it, everyone is gone, why do you still think so much.

When he went to court the next day, Cheng Hu found that Yinhu was not there.After a little inquiring, I found out that Yinhu was sick and asked for leave.In this way, Cheng Hu seems to be on the line a little bit.It seems that this time Gao Lang really hit hard.

A few days later, when Yinhu appeared in front of Chenghu, there was no sign of illness at all.However, Cheng Hu noticed with sharp eyes that there were some strange bruises behind Yinhu's ears.He thought about it for a long time, and only thought of one way to leave marks in that kind of place, and that was to be deliberately sucked by someone.This possibility made him gasp.Gao Lang won't touch Yinhu, will he?Since there was no way to ask the person concerned for proof, this doubt was buried in Cheng Hu's heart.It wasn't until many years later that the truth came to light.

Time continued to advance. In the summer of Kangxi's 44th year, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang returned from their business trips in Anhui.Before they entered Qianqing Palace to return to their orders, they were stopped by Cheng Hu who had been waiting for a long time.

"Thirteenth brother, what did you do in Anhui?" Cheng Hu asked in a low voice.

Yin Xiang was made a little nervous by Cheng Hu: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Cheng Hu glared at him: "You were impeached, and all the complaints were handed over to Huang Ama. It said that when you were in Anhui, you were domineering, beating court officials, and robbing civilian women. I don't need to investigate, just I know it must be you who poked the basket. Fourth brother, why didn't you control his wild horse?"

Yinzhen coughed lightly: "Brother, I don't blame Thirteenth Brother for this matter. Let's go to see Huang Ama together, and you will know in a while."

Cheng Hu glanced at the rebellious Yinxiang: "You'd better learn from others and be famous. Otherwise, even if I step forward, I may not be able to keep you."

After the three of them entered the Qianqing Palace, they found that not only the important officials of the court were all gone, but also the elder brothers were basically gone.It seems that the fourth child and the thirteenth child had a lot of trouble this time.

Kangxi glanced at the three people who had just entered, and then threw a folder on the table. "Yinxiang, please explain to me. I asked you and Yinzhen to go to Anhui to inspect the river workers, but why did you get involved with the salt dealer? Look carefully, there are two other serious crimes, beating the court official, Snatching women from the people by force. Tell me, I'm listening."

Yinxiang said confidently: "I beat that dog official because he deserved it. It was a good piece of good land, but he made the people miserable. Shouldn't such a dog official be beaten?"

"Okay, I've found out about this matter. Tell me about the other things, why did you provoke those salt dealers?" Kangxi's eyes flashed a hint of appreciation.Yinxiang, nicknamed Desperate Thirteenth Lang, is a rare all-rounder in civil and military affairs, who is daring to act and act daringly.

Seeing that Kangxi didn't blame him, Yinxiang became more confident: "They sold illegal salt and violated the laws of the Qing Dynasty. Shouldn't they be brought to justice?"

The expression on Kangxi's face didn't change at all: "They should indeed be severely punished, but you can't do it on your behalf. I asked you to inspect the river, not to cause trouble."

Yinzhen took a step forward: "Emperor Ama, let me report carefully. The autumn flood is approaching, and the river defense is not strong. If we don't raise money on the spot and transfer the money from the household department, I'm afraid it will be a waste of time. Besides, the situation of the household department, I also know a thing or two that it may not be easy to come up with so much silver. Therefore, I have the courage to start with the salt dealer who sells private salt, hoping to raise some silver to solve the urgent need."

"What does it mean that it is difficult to transfer money from the Ministry of Households? Could it be that the Ministry of Households can't even get this little money?" Kangxi asked Zhang Tingyu suspiciously, "Didn't the brochure handed over by the Ministry of Households yesterday say that there are still more than 5000 million yuan in the treasury?" Two denarii?"

Zhang Tingyu smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, it has been a long time since the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts did not match the inventory. Now there is really not much money in the warehouse of the Ministry of Accounts!"

Kangxi looked at Zhang Tingyu suspiciously: "From your tone, it seems that you have already checked it. Tell me, how much is the actual silver tael?"

Zhang Tingyu knelt down heavily: "I didn't check carefully, but just estimated it roughly, I'm afraid it's less than 1000 million taels!"

Kangxi was so angry that he grabbed the handle of the dragon chair: "What? It's actually less than 1000 million taels! Then, who can tell me where all the money has gone? Yinhu, your Prime Minister's Ministry of Finance, tell me."

Cheng Hu's heart tightened, Kangxi was really angry this time, I hope he didn't get angry.Thinking of the cause of this incident, Cheng Hu couldn't help but cast a deep look at Yinhu.

Like Zhang Tingyu, Yinhu kneeled heavily on the ground, only to hear him say in a heartbroken voice: "My minister has neglected his duties, and I beg Emperor Ama to punish me."

The cabinet minister Tong Guowei is from Lao Ba's side, so he must speak for Yinhu at this time. "Your Majesty, the issue of the household department has been a problem for a long time. The eighth elder brother has tried his best, but it still doesn't help. As far as I know, the reason why the household department is in such a deficit is inseparable from the officials' debts. Therefore, the urgent task now It is to check the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts and let those officials who borrowed money make up all the arrears."

Kangxi knew that officials borrowed money.Who doesn't have an urgent need?Therefore, Kangxi has always turned a blind eye to this kind of behavior.However, what he didn't expect was that the household department of the Qing Dynasty was actually borrowed by those court officials!No, you can't tolerate them like this anymore!

"Check, let me check thoroughly!" Kangxi glanced at the ministers and elder brothers.Checking accounts and collecting debts is a thankless task. Who to send to check is a difficult problem.After much deliberation, his gaze finally fell on Yinzhen and Yinxiang.Yinzhen has a firm mind and Yinxiang has a lot of hard work, so it would be best to leave this matter to them to investigate and deal with.However, in this way, they are bound to offend many people.well!I can only suffer them first!

"Yinzhen and Yinxiang listen to the order, and I order you to start cleaning up the deficit and debts of the household department immediately. Do whatever you want." Kangxi was really angry this time.

Yinzhen and Yinxiang hurriedly knelt down to accept the order: "I will do my best to relieve Huang Ama's worries."

Cheng Hu knew that this was a hard job, but other than these two younger brothers, no one else could do it.Therefore, Cheng Hu could only watch helplessly as they accepted the imperial decree.

That night, Chenghu sneaked to Yinzhen's Sibeile Mansion, and communicated with Yinzhen and the others.

"Fourth brother, elder brother won't say anything else. You just need to remember that if there is any matter, elder brother will be behind you, so you can go and investigate!" Cheng Hu made a decision as soon as he came up.

Yinzhen laughed: "Brother, this matter is not as serious as you think. It is only natural to pay back the debt. The reason is on our side, they have to pay even if they don't."

Cheng Hu sighed: "It's not that you don't know the virtues of those officials. It's harder than going to heaven to let them spit out the money they got!"

Yinxiang slapped his palm: "Huang Ama said that if you don't pay it back, you will be dismissed from office. Can they still not pay it back?"

Cheng Hu knocked him on the back of the head: "You can't think too much with your brain? No matter whether this job is completed or not, the one who suffers is your fourth brother. If it is completed, those officials will regard it as Your fourth brother is a thorn in your side. If it doesn’t work out, it will be hard for Huang Ama to explain. Anyway, this is a thankless job.”

"This errand will be handled by me and my fourth brother, and I will carry it out with my fourth brother." Yinxiang said fearlessly.

Cheng Hu sighed: "Fourth brother! You must watch this kid, he will get into trouble sooner or later if he goes on like this."

Yinzhen patted Yinxiang's hand who was a little annoyed: "Brother, I won't let Thirteenth Brother have trouble."

"Hey! You are used to him being like this." Cheng Hu looked at the two brothers, and the more he watched, the more he felt that there was something tricky between them.

Yinxiang likes Yinzhen, and Chenghu knows it, because he once caught the scene.However, he is not sure whether Yinzhen has any intentions for Yinxiang.However, looking at Yinzhen's attitude towards Yinxiang, it is really ambiguous no matter how you look at it.Sometimes Cheng Hu is a little sure that these two people are in love with each other.However, as far as their world of two is concerned, he remains an outsider.So, just wait and see!

Cheng Hu suddenly remembered another thing: "Thirteenth brother, what happened to the robbery of the civilian girl? During the day, Emperor Ama forgot to ask, but now I am a little interested to hear the whole story."

Yinxiang waved his hand: "It's a very simple thing. When I was in Anhui, I rescued a woman named Alan. When I met her, she happened to be caught by a group of people. I saw that they looked wrong, so I shot Alan. She was rescued. And you said it was a coincidence that the person who arrested her was actually Brother Nine's subordinates."

"This is strange. You obviously saved people with righteousness, but how did you turn into a robbery of women?" Cheng Hu asked.

Yinxiang was a little frustrated: "Later, Brother Nine's subordinates came to us again. It turned out that Alan was a singer who had signed a contract of prostitution with them. But later, Alan turned his back on his promise and didn't want to leave with them. It came out like this. So, for no reason, I took the blame."

Cheng Hu shook his head: "This ninth brother, he didn't lose any of his lust and wealth. I think he collected beauties everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River to please the dignitaries in the capital and to open up joints for the eighth brother. By the way, that Alan What happened after that?"

Yinzhen said: "What else can I do? Naturally, the old nine's people took her back."

Cheng Hu chuckled: "I thought that after Lao Jiu's subordinates knew your identities, they would leave Alan to Thirteenth Brother! However, I think Lao Jiu should find Thirteenth Brother these days. After all, according to Judging from the current situation, everyone still doesn't want to hurt their peace. Thirteenth brother, don't be stiff with Lao Jiu when the time comes, and talk to him in a friendly manner."

"When have I ever been angry with them? Even when Fourteen deliberately finds fault, I can bear it. Brother, don't worry about me getting into trouble!" Yinxiang said lying on the table.

Yin Mo frowned slightly: "Is Fourteenth Brother picking on you again?"

Yinxiang said indifferently: "Someday he will see me pleasing to the eye! I'm used to it."

Cheng Hu muttered: "You two are not much different in age, so it should be easier to get close to each other, just like the eighth, ninth, and tenth. But why did you make it into a situation where fire and water are incompatible?"
