Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 39 years

In the fourth master's mansion, everyone was busy with Belle's outfit for the north tour, while Su Wei secretly found Xiao Erge and confessed secretly.

At the end of July, on the eve of the emperor's northern tour, he issued an edict, and eight elder brothers Yinhu presided over the repair of Dongyue Temple, and Prince Yu Fuquan assisted him.The ministers have not yet responded, and the northern patrol army has already set off.

"Yinhu..." The fourth elder brother sat in the carriage with a hesitant expression on his face.

Su Wei dangled his legs and remained silent.

"Why don't you talk?" The fourth elder brother looked at Su Wei, "I'm so honest all the way, I'm not used to it. Come on, tell me what you think about Lao Ba?"

Su Wei shook his head, "Eighth Prince has already built a mansion, so he must have his own ideas. If you don't want to take this job, if someone wants to take it, just find a way to take it."

The fourth elder brother smiled when he heard the words, "Then, do you think that Lao Ba's move was intentional and not a mistake?"

Su Wei glanced at the fourth elder brother, and lowered his head boringly, "You have already made inferences, why are you asking me, I'm just a eunuch, I don't care about these things."

"Hey, our Eunuch Su is becoming more and more principled," Si elder brother sat beside Su Wei, poking Su Wei's bulging cheeks.

Su Wei pursed his lips and waved away the fourth elder brother's hand, and leaned against the car wall with his head tilted and his knees hugged.Even though he is extremely blind to history, he still has to learn from the overwhelming modern Qing Chuan dramas how Eighth Prince is a man of both sides in Kowloon Seizing the Heir.Su Wei knew exactly what his rise meant.

In the evening, the army set up camp.

In the crown prince's tent, Shao Gan, the left servant, was supervised by the Ministry of War to greet the prince.

"Get up, you have worked hard all the way, let's sit down and talk," the prince leaned on the back of the chair.

"Thank you, Your Highness," Shao Qian cupped his hands and sat down on the stool brought by Xiao Chuzi.

"Is there any news from Lao Ba?" The prince picked up the tea bowl and slowly scraped the tea foam.

Shao Gan nodded slightly, "Someone from Beijing said that at the beginning of the dispute in Dongyue Temple, Ba Fujin's uncle wanted to play for Ba elder brother, but Ming Xiang and Tong Lao couldn't find anything, so they didn't dare to speak. As for The harvest at the eighth elder brother's grain farm is indeed not good, and it is being rebuilt. After the accident with Concubine Hui, the eldest elder brother and the prime minister have been around a lot, and eighth elder brother's place is as usual, and I haven't heard of anyone coming to the door."

The crown prince nodded, "If it wasn't for such an impeccable arrangement, I really hope it was instigated by the elder brother. Otherwise, there is another one among the princes who is deeply hidden."

"Your Highness," Shao Gan cupped his hands, "I think that the eighth elder brother is at most a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. If we talk about the best among the princes, perhaps the fourth elder brother is slightly better."

"Oh?" The prince raised his eyebrows, "How do you say?"

"The slave got the news that after the errands of Dongyue Temple were dropped, the disciples of the fourth elder brother went to the Imperial Hospital to inquire about Prince Yu's condition," Shao Gan said with his head bowed.

"You mean?" The prince frowned lightly.

"Your servant boldly infers," Shao Qian raised his head, "I'm afraid the fourth elder brother already knows about the shortfall of Guangshan Treasury."

Si Ye Tent

"Eunuch Su," Fu Nai lifted the curtain, just in time to meet Su Wei who was walking out.

"Master Fu," Su Wei bowed, "Si elder brother is waiting for you."

Fu Nai nodded and walked into the tent.

The fourth elder brother changed his body and walked out behind the screen, "Any news?"

Fu Nai bowed and stood up after bowing, "The crown prince and eldest elder brother have messengers going back and forth along the way. Chang Nai sent news from the capital that the eighth elder brother has taken over the renovation of Dongyue Temple. Now I don't know which side it is with. People come and go very closely.”

The fourth elder brother nodded slightly, and sat down on the wooden floor, "It seems that Yinhu's behavior was really not arranged by either the crown prince or the elder brother. If it had been arranged earlier, there would be no need to send messages back and forth so vigorously along the way. "

"Then," Fu Nai frowned, "it's Eighth Brother himself—"

"Whether it's him or not," the fourth elder brother interrupted Fu Nai, "the main problem now is how much of a mistake did Guangshanku make. Prince Yu spent so much effort to get rid of the burden, and it was thrown away by Yin, who has no background. After Hu picked it up, is he capable of filling the hole?"

Fu Nai shook his head, "If it is true as the master guessed, there is a problem with the profit and loss of Guangshan Treasury. If the eighth elder brother wants to complete this job, he will have to seek help from powerful officials and nobles. Maybe he will have to rely on the prince or the elder brother elder brother."

The fourth elder brother sighed, "Huang Ama is already quite jealous of the fight between the prince and the elder brother. If the eighth brother joins in again, it will be even more difficult to maintain the balance on the surface. But the current situation is just like this. It's like riding a tiger."

"Master," Fu Nai clasped his hands again, "last time after Prime Minister Suo sent his criminal minister Ekuli back to Beijing, you asked us to pay close attention to Prime Minister Suo's actions. Shen Tingzheng sent news that Prime Minister Suo's son, Geerfen, took advantage of his position. For convenience, Shao Gan, who had been released as the governor of water transportation, was transferred back to the Ministry of War, and served as the supervisor of the Ministry of War to arrest Zuo Shilang. Just these few days, the servant saw Shao Gan, who was with the army, often going in and out of the prince's tent, and seemed to be doing it for the prince. The crown prince and Suoxiang pass the news."

"Another person was transferred back," the fourth elder brother stroked the center of his brows, "What does Suoxiang want to do? He said he was sick at home, but he made frequent moves in private. Even Tong Guowei talked about Dongyue Temple, but he has been hiding behind the disciples. Concubine Ping's matter, there is no need to be like this..."

When Su Wei came in carrying the food box and lifted the curtain, the tent was silent. Fu Nai glanced at Su Wei, and Su Wei blinked for no reason.

"Master, slave—" Fu Nai had just opened his mouth, and the fourth elder brother raised his head and said, "Go and find a suitable person, without any background, and find a way to get close to that Shao Gan, and see if you can find out anything."

"Yes," Fu Nai leaned over to accept the order, and took another look at Su Wei before leaving.

Su Wei pursed his mouth inexplicably, and moved closer to the fourth elder brother, "Master, are you going to cultivate fine work?"

"What secret work?" The fourth elder brother glared at Su Wei, "I just sent some eyeliner to collect information conveniently."

"Cut," Su Wei snorted disdainfully, "I thought it was good for me to disturb you, that Fu Nai looked at me several times!"

The fourth elder brother sighed weakly, "Fu Nai wanted you to go out, didn't you see that the master was telling him something confidential. It's just you, you don't need to report when you go in and out, if someone winks at you, you just look back in a daze .”

"How do I know what he means?" Su Wei turned back to the dining table, "A wooden face with no distinctive expressions."

Siyefu

"Eunuch Xiao," a black and thin man who looked like a monkey rushed to Xiao Erge's side.

"Hush," Xiao Erge looked around, and pulled him into his room, "How is it? Have you found out?"

"I, Tang Wu, do business, don't worry," the visitor patted his chest, "None of the nuns in the Xipei courtyard has clean hands and feet. Think about it, they all have families and men outside. Especially this little master Yes, children are easy to be fooled. The handkerchief sachets don’t even count what they need to eat. That’s especially true for Mother Feng. Song Gege usually eats fast and chants Buddha, and Da Gege also memorizes and embroiders all day long. No one cares about her at all. , she has a lot of things to pass by."

Xiao Erge pursed his lips, and sneered, "The law does not blame the public, our family has a great career, so it's normal to have such incidents. But, who made her offend people who shouldn't be offended?"

Tang Wu tilted his head, a pair of small eyes glistening, "Eunuch Xiao, what do you mean?"

"Small theft isn't enough," Xiao Erge beckoned, asking Tang Wu to come closer to him, and gave orders like this.

Baye Mansion

In front of Yinhu was the account book of Guangshanku, the blood-red font was eye-catching.He never expected that behind the fat that everyone was scrambling for was a trap for cannibalism.

"Master," Ba Fujin walked to Yinhu's side, "how about we report the truth to Huang Ama, anyway, the deficit of the Guangshan Treasury is also a matter of those officials, and has nothing to do with you. You revealed this For this matter, Huang Ama may even reward you."

Brother Ba smiled coldly, "If it's that simple, why would Prince Yu bother to abandon this job?"

Ba Fujin lightly frowned, "I heard from my uncle that the Guangshan Treasury draws the Nuyin from the Ministry of Accounts, lends it to the soldiers of the Eight Banners, and then pays back it at a monthly interest rate of [-]%. Such a cycle should not create profits and fill the treasury Why? Why is there such a huge deficit?"

Brother Ba sighed, "Sitting on the golden mountain, how many people can return empty-handed? It was Huang Ama who advocated borrowing silver from the Guangshan Treasury. Who among the soldiers of the Eight Banners would not want to share the emperor's favor? But it is also because of this, Thousands of troops crowd onto the single-plank bridge, and those who can really borrow money are often the ones who have the most money.”

Bafujin nodded suddenly, and Ba Ge walked to the window with his hands behind his back, "I looked at Guangshanku's account books, and the ones they showed me must have been embellished. But even so, the intricate details in it are already shocking." Yes. Those people borrowed a huge amount of money, but no one dared to take it back easily, so they could only fill the loophole with the newly allocated money from the Ministry of Finance. But when the money came, people’s greed and desire made this loophole It is getting bigger and bigger. This time, Huang Ama suddenly asked Guangshan Treasury to pay for the repair of Dongyue Temple, which is equivalent to breaking the balance that Guangshan Treasury barely maintained. Prince Yu was in charge of the repair, and he must have first noticed the shortage of Guangshan Treasury If you want to expose this matter, you must touch the tangled net of influence, even Prince Yu has shunned him, how can I have the guts to tell the truth to Huang Ama?"

Ba Fujin's face was pale, and his voice trembled slightly, "Then, what should we do?"

Eighth Brother tightly pursed the corners of his lips, "I was confused for a moment, blindly entered, and only realized it was a hot potato after I took the errand. However, since I have already accepted it, I can't just catch it with my hands. It doesn't matter whether it's a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​fire, I have to do it anyway." Go ahead and go."

Si Ye Tent

"Deficit?" Su Wei bit his chopsticks and stared at the fourth elder brother in disbelief, "Didn't you borrow money to repay the interest, how could you be short?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head helplessly, "Leave the matter of the money to the minister, and it would be nice if you can keep a point, not to mention the interpersonal contacts of civil and military officials. The hole in Guangshan library must be getting bigger and bigger , I guess I can’t get back the money I borrowed even if I want to.”

"But isn't the Guangshan Treasury set up by the emperor? Those ministers don't want their heads? You didn't accept the Guangshan Treasury's errand, how do you know there must be a deficit? If there is a big hole, why did the prince and the elder brother snatch it?" Bleeding?" Su Wei grabbed his hat strap in confusion.

The fourth elder brother poked Su Wei on the forehead hating iron and steel, "You can't move your head? Prince Yu is building the Dongyue Temple well, why did he suddenly complain of illness? The establishment of the Guangshan Library was not perfect in the first place. This kind of thing It is not surprising that the son happened. As for the crown prince and elder brother, they stand behind Suoxiang and Mingxiang, and they have power in the government. Compared with the hole in Guangshanku, they care more about the forces that can be controlled from it."

Su Wei bit his lips, "Then, wouldn't Eighth Brother be miserable?"

Siyefu

"Hey, Nurse Feng, where are you going?" Tang Wu'er pretended to call Nurse Feng, making Nurse Feng amused.

"I'm going to get two bolts of fabric for Big Gege, and the little one is going to make two coats for Gege, what are you doing here in the West Academy?" Mother Feng looked at Tang Wudao.

Tang Wu laughed happily, "I'm here to give the two young masters a monthly silver ingot. Look, it's a silver ingot that weighs two pounds." Tang Wu stuffed the two purses in his hands.

Nanny Feng glanced at him, "Who doesn't know how to talk nonsense!"

"Hey, Mother Feng, you don't know about that," Tang Wu straightened his expression, "I have a cousin brother who works in a silversmith's shop, and they do this counterfeit business there. But it's not silver, it's silver." Jewelry," Tang Wu moved closer to Nanny Feng, "Just take this silver hairpin and change it to a silver-plated pole at their place, no one will be able to tell."

Mother Feng was taken aback, Tang Wu stepped back, bowed and said, "You are busy with your work, the little one is sending money to the master."
