Eighth Master cuts leeks in Qing Chuanwen

"This……"

The attendant was terrified, he hadn't seen fourth master showing such a cold look for a long time.

Gudong!

The attendant quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Forgive me! Forgive me! It's the slave... The slave let Ba Ye in privately, because... because the master always let Ba Ye directly enter the mansion, so... so... ...The servant watched Eighth Master carry the hot rice, and only made up his mind if he was afraid that the food would get cold."

"You know, it's a private opinion."

"Please forgive me! Please forgive me! This slave will never dare again."

The attendant was scared out of his wits and terrified. He didn't know what happened to the fourth master today. He seemed very angry and had a bad temper, saying that the wind was the rain.

The fourth master Yinzhen said coldly: "Just say that I am not in the mansion, and send people away."

The attendant raised his head and glanced at Yinzhen in surprise, Yinzhen's eyes were still cold, the attendant only took one look, and immediately lowered his head dutifully in fright, although he didn't dare to say he was curious, but he was very curious in his heart.

Fourth Master is going to send Eighth Master away?This... isn't it very diligent to walk around in the past?Why did you suddenly want to send Eighth Master away?

The attendant didn't dare to ask any more questions, and said dutifully: "Yes, the slave will go now."

Yinzhen said coldly: "Go."

The attendant got up, scrambled and left the house, and came to the front hall.

Yunxuan was sitting in the front hall. He came here by himself, and the food was still on the table next to him.

The attendant walked into the front hall and said in embarrassment: "Greetings to Ba Ye."

Yun Hu nodded, and was about to stand up when the attendant hurriedly stopped him, and said falteringly: "Eighth Master, I'm really sorry, our master...is not in the mansion right now."

Yunxu raised his eyebrows, because he saw the ball of wool on the attendant's head...

The balls of wool were tied together in a mess, looking extremely distressed, and a few large characters popped out - I lied!

It seems that Brother Cheap is at home.

Yunyu said, "Is fourth master not here?"

"Yes, yes!" The attendant stammered: "Go back to the Eighth Master, yes, the Fourth Master is not here at the moment, or...you should go back."

The attendant said, popping up above his head - he is here!

Yunxi: "..."

Although Yunxuan didn't know what was going on, it seemed that Brother Qiqi would not see him right now.

Yunxu simply stood up and said, "It's not difficult for you, then I'll go back first."

The attendant almost knelt down and kowtowed to Yunxuan as if he had been pardoned, and said: "Baye, I will send you off."

"No need, just get busy."

Yunxu left Shihe behind, turned around and left quickly.

The attendant shook his head, carried the food container, and respectfully delivered it to the fourth master's door, not daring to make any mistakes, and said politely: "Master, the slave will call you back, the eighth master has gone back."

Yinzhen nodded calmly, without taking his eyes off the book, and said, "What is it in your hand?"

"Eat food!" The attendant said: "It's the food that Eighth Master just sent, it's still hot, did the servant bring it out for Grandpa?"

"Throw it away."

The attendant was taken aback for a moment, thinking he didn't hear clearly.

Then I heard Fourth Master repeat indifferently: "Throw it away."

The attendant repeated: "Throw away, throw away? This is your favorite roast goose rice, and you brought a copy back from Eighth Master's residence last time, Master..."

Before he finished speaking, fourth master Yinzhen said: "Do you want master to repeat it for the third time?"

"I know I'm wrong! I know I'm wrong!" The attendant hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Throw it away, throw it away immediately."

"and many more."

Just as the attendant turned around and ran away with the food box in his arms, the fourth master spoke, and the attendant thought, right, the fourth master must not be willing to throw away this roast goose rice, he clearly loved it last time, and there was not enough to eat.

how do you know...

Yinzhen said indifferently: "From now on, when the eighth master comes to the house, he will pass on all the information, and the food will be sent away, and he will not accept it at all."

Attendant: "...Yes."

The attendant didn't know what was wrong with Fourth Master, anyway, his face was so cold today that the attendant didn't dare to say more, and after responding, he hugged Shihe and left.

Ever since the incident of cheating in the imperial examination, Yunhu hadn't seen Yinzhen for several days.Both Yunxu and Yinzhen are at the residence on vacation. Logically speaking, they are neighbors, so they should see each other without looking up or down. Who knows that Yunxu has never seen Yinzhen once in a daze these days.

Yunhu went to the fourth master's house twice, once the fourth master was away, and the second time the fourth master rested in broad daylight, but he didn't see anyone anyway, so Yunhu went back.

Today is the day when the rest period expires, and Yunxuan has to go back to Guangshanku for business. Just after tidying up the official robes of Buzi, and before leaving the house, Chen Menglei came, walking in a hurry.

Yunxu asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Menglei said: "Baye, the emperor hastily recruited Baye into the palace, it seems that there is a big deal."

Yunxu raised her eyebrows and didn't say any nonsense. She just changed her clothes and left the mansion, ready to go to the palace.

As soon as he went out, by coincidence, he saw the fourth master Yinzhen who hadn't seen him for several days. The fourth master was also wearing a men's robe and was very formally dressed. He should have been summoned into the palace as well.

Seeing Yunxuan, fourth master glanced coldly, but saw no waves.

Yunyu said: "Fourth brother also entered the palace?"

Yinzhen said concisely: "Yes."

Time was running out, Yunhu didn't talk nonsense, the two entered the palace, besides the two of them, other people were also summoned, it seems that the emperor wanted to discuss with the court.

Bang-! !

Before entering the palace gate, I heard the deafening sound of slapping the table in Qianqing Palace. It must be that Kangxi was angry.

Kangxi is a gentle host, basically he would not lose his temper like this, if someone hadn't provoked him, how could he be so angry?

The prince whispered: "What's wrong with Huang Ama?"

The uncle shook his head, he also just arrived.

Lao Jiu whispered: "You don't know? I just heard about it too."

Because Lao Jiu is willing to spend money, he has a wide network of contacts. Those who call many eunuchs as brothers in the palace will not dislike them, so those eunuchs always pass some fresh news to Lao Jiu.

Isn't it?Lao Jiu was the first to know the whole story.

Lao Jiu whispered: "What else can make Huang Ama so angry? Corruption!"

Old Ten rubbed the back of his head and said, "Ninth Brother, who is greedy again this time?"

Lao Jiu said in a strange way: "Tongtianbang."

Yunxi raised her eyebrows: "Kong Shangren?"

Old Nine nodded.

Yunhu thought that after the Tongtianbang incident, there would be no more interaction with Kong Shangren, but she didn't know that this meeting would come soon.

The prince said: "Kong Shangren is corrupt? His waist is like a pen, can he still be corrupt? Can Qing Gaocheng be corrupt like this?"

"Then who knows." Lao Jiu said: "Know people, know face, but don't know heart. Besides, who is Kong Shangren? He is the supervisor of Baoquan Bureau!"

Speaking of this, Liang Jiugong, the chief eunuch, came out and said in a low voice, "My lords, please come in."

Everyone didn't dare to breathe too loudly. When they entered Qianqing Palace, they were afraid that the emperor would harm the fish in the pond. As soon as they entered, they saw Kong Shangren kneeling on the ground, his forehead was red, obviously because of kowtowing.

Kangxi said angrily: "Okay! What a supervisor! Tell me, where have you been in prison? I'm afraid it's all in your pocket!"

"Your Majesty!" Kong Shangren kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged! You have been wronged! I have done my duty faithfully and never dared to fill my pockets. I would like to ask you to learn from me!"

Kong Shangren is now the official residence of Baoquan Bureau to supervise the casting. The word "supervised casting" is easy to understand, and supervises the casting of money.The Baoquan Bureau is better understood. Baoquan Bureau is the place where money is minted, and spring means money.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were two places where money was minted, one Baoquan Bureau, which was the place where Kong Shang was the supervisor of casting, and the other Baoyuan Bureau.The Baoquan Bureau and Baoyuan Bureau are both coin minting yards, but there are differences. Baoyuan Bureau is under the Ministry of Industry, while Baoquan Bureau is under the Ministry of Households. These two coin minting yards do not belong to the same department at all.

Different departments naturally have different functions.The minted coins of Baoyuan Bureau are generally used in various national projects of the Ministry of Industry, while the minted coins of Baoquan Bureau are coins circulated in the market for use throughout the country.

The supervisor is not a high-ranking official, and his rank is also very low, but the supervisor of Baoquan Bureau has always been a fat shortage.

Kong Shangren happens to be the supervisor of the Baoquan Bureau. In fact, he has not been in office for a long time.

Kangxi reviewed the memorials as usual today, and saw the letter of Lu Bohe, the right servant of the household department, which clearly stated that Baoquan Bureau was full of private pockets, and the guards stole from themselves!

Minting money is a major national event, and Baoquan Bureau's coins are to be circulated throughout the country, and Kangxi can't be angry if there is a case of self-stealing.

Kangxi handed over the booklet of the right servant of the household department to everyone for reading. Yunxu read it roughly, and it turned out to be the case.

As I said before, the Baoquan Bureau is under the management of the Household Department, and Ruberhe happens to be the official of the Household Department who manages the money law, so every year the accounts and projects of the Baoquan Bureau are thoroughly checked, and nothing too serious has happened in these years. Big mistake.

It's the end of the year again, and it's about to come to the end of the year. Like Guangshanku, the Ministry of Accounts is also liquidating the accounts of the Baoquan Bureau for one year. Ruberhe is doing the liquidation as usual, and no major mistakes have been found.

Unexpectedly, someone came to file a complaint at this time, and handed over a blood letter, saying that the Baoquan Bureau guards stole themselves and enriched their own pockets. It will also increase greatly.

After receiving such a report, Ruberhe naturally had to examine it carefully.If it is true that the Baoquan Bureau filled its own pockets, cut corners, and reduced the amount of copper used by Xiaoqian, where did the remaining copper go?It was clearly in the pockets of these Baoquan Bureau officials!

You must know that the amount of money minted by Baoquan Bureau in a year is very huge, which is a large amount, and it is definitely not for naughty things.

Kangxi said angrily: "Tell them about it."

Lu Bohe, the right servant of the household department, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lu Bohe said again: "Following the report, I checked the number of coins minted by Baoquan Bureau and the number of coins in circulation throughout the country, and found that there are also many articles in it."

Because some people in Baoquan Bureau filled their pockets, cut corners and used a small amount of copper to cast copper coins, so that the small coins have less copper and more lead. The amount of minted money is not the same at all, and the gap is huge.

Lu Bohe, the servant on the right, said: "It is true that there will be unscrupulous traders in the market who melt money and take copper without permission. The number of coins circulating in the market every year will definitely be lower than the number of coins issued, but as far as I know, the number of small coins circulating this year is too high. Low, it's really abnormal!"

"More than that!" Lu Bohe had other things to report, and said: "The minister followed the vine, and also found out that the Baoquan Bureau took advantage of his position to collect and store waste money, mixed with small money, enriched his own pocket, and committed a heinous crime!"

Listening to Lu Bohe's words, Kong Shangren's face became more and more ugly, and all he could say was: "I was wronged! I was wronged!"

Yunyu looked down at Kong Shangren, the prince was right, Kong Shangren was so noble, he could write the top list for his students, and he did not hesitate to offend the powerful, so how could he be corrupt?

Yunxu thought for a while, then cupped her hands and said, "May I ask the right servant, when did the casting of the Baoquan Bureau roughly start?"

Lu Bohe replied: "To tell you the truth, Ba Ye, I looked through the accounting documents and found that there have been clues since four years ago."

"Four years?" Fourth Lord Yinzhen frowned and said, "It's been less than four months since Kong Shang took office."

Kong Shangren also understood it, and immediately bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty! I have only been appointed as the supervisor of Baoquan Bureau for four months, and it is absolutely impossible to fill my own pockets and guard myself! Please learn from the emperor!"

Yunyu cupped her hands and said: "Huang Ama, it is true that Kong Shangren's forging happened under his nose. It is true that he is not doing well, but there are other people who are enriching his own pockets. I also ask Huang Ama to learn from him."

Kong Shangren glanced at Yunhu. He thought that Yunhu and Yao Guan were close, and he would not care about his own life at this time. After all, he had wronged Yao Guan before, and almost killed the two examiners. Kong Shangren was moved and grateful that Ba Ye actually spoke for himself.

Kangxi said lightly: "Do you think I'm confused?"

When he said this, Lu Bohe and Kong Shangren were dumbfounded.

Kangxi said again: "Kong Shangren has only been in office for four months, and he is not familiar with the place in Baoquan Bureau. If someone enriches his own pocket, it will not be him."

"But..." Kong Shangren hesitated, just now the emperor clearly pointed at his nose and scolded him.

Kangxi said: "I know you have been wronged, Kong Qing, have you ever felt the feeling of being wronged?"

When he said this, Kong Shangren suddenly realized that yes, the emperor knew from the very beginning that he was wronged, but he didn't tell the truth, but deliberately scolded himself. At that time, Kong Shangren was anxious and helpless, and he didn't know how to refute it. good.

Now that I think about it, it was indeed the emperor's intention. He wanted Kong Shangren to understand the feelings of Li Pan and Jiang Chenying.

Kangxi said quietly: "You are all courtiers, no matter what your rank is, I hope you will not slap your head and act impulsively, do you understand?"

Kong Shangren hurriedly kowtowed: "Yes, the emperor taught me the lesson."

Kangxi said again: "Although Kong Shangren was wronged, the Baoquan Bureau has to investigate. Such moths that endanger the design of the country and the people must be found out!"

"Old eight."

Yunxu stood up and said, "My son is here."

Kangxi said: "You manage the Guangshan Treasury. You have always been prudent and prudent. You have never made any mistakes in money. Today, I will entrust you with the inspection of the Baoquan Bureau and allow you to act cheaply."

"Fourth."

Kangxi said again: "You act calmly and have the title of being stern and selfless. I hope you will cooperate with Lao Ba to handle this matter."

The fourth master Yinzhen squinted his eyes. He didn't want to have much contact with Yunxuan. These few days, he would see him whenever he could, but he didn't know that he was rushing the ducks to the shelves. Kangxi had already spoken, and Yinzhen couldn't refuse, so he went He cupped his hands and said, "Your minister leads the decree."

Kangxi said: "Now that Baoquan Bureau has mixed casting, there has been no publicity. You two, the fourth and the eighth, immediately take people to Baoquan Bureau to make a surprise inspection of the copper coins to see if it is as Ruberhe said. Quanju casts small coins with more copper and less lead."

"Yes!"

Yunxi and Yinzhen led the decree, after all, it was a surprise inspection, and Baoquan Bureau had to be caught off guard, so as not to hide the evidence, so the two immediately came out of Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi gave Yunxu a warrant, allowing him to act cheaply in the court. Yunxu thought, if he goes to Baoquan Bureau, it is necessary to deploy some guards. Who will be the best?

Just as he was thinking, he saw the first-class guard Erlundai who was on duty at a glance.

Orondai was dressed in a military uniform with a tall and straight figure. Because of the helmet and hat, he looked more heroic than before.

Yunhu's eyes lit up, and she walked over and patted Orondai on the shoulder.

"Baye?" Elundai didn't know about the Baoquan Bureau yet, so he said with a smile, "I heard that Baye Xiumu, why did you come into the palace today?"

Yunxu smiled and said, "Uncle, take your guy and the police are dispatched."

"Ah?" Orondai told him he was confused.

Yunyu said: "The people who light the firearm camp are fast, and the emperor's order is urgent."

Yunhu took out the warrant, and when Erlundai saw it, he immediately frowned, put away his mischievous expression, and became serious, saying: "Okay, I'll go and lighten the people right now!"

Yinzhen didn't expect that when the emperor told him to do things cheaply, he would actually take people from the firearms battalion to the Baoquan Bureau, which was clearly to smash the field.

However, the Baoquan Bureau has always been very tough, and I heard that the stove heads of the Baoquan Bureau are all related to Suo'etu of the current dynasty, otherwise how could they become the stove heads of such a fat and scarce place?It can be said that everyone in the Baoquan Bureau has a background. This surprise inspection of the Baoquan Bureau must be very difficult.

If you bring a team of firearms battalion people there, it will indeed have a deterrent effect. I have to say that Yunxu is very thoughtful.

Ding!

Yunhu glanced at his system strangely, he had never seen such a prompt before.
