Kangxi snorted coldly.

The ninth elder brother was standing by and turned the third elder brother's fist over.

The third elder brother looked helplessly at the ninth elder brother and slowly opened his fist.

Brother Jiu looked on and took a breath of air.

The palms of both hands were rotten and bloody, especially the right hand, which showed that the situation at that time was urgent and tragic.

He had actually remained calm before.

Brother Ninth felt that in his mind, the image of the third brother had become taller.

Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Didn't you take Panax notoginseng powder?"

Brother Ninth nodded and said: "I took it, but it was all given to Hong Qing. I sent it directly to the third brother's house."

Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong and said: "The imperial doctor also brought Panax notoginseng powder..."

Liang Jiugong went down.

Kangxi looked at the eldest brother and the seventh brother again.

The eldest brother said: "After checking the horse, it was not an accident. The reins were tampered with and there were iron nails on the inside."

Kangxi's face was gloomy and he looked at the seventh elder brother again.

The seventh elder brother said: "The coachman has been sent to the Shen Xing Department. He was born in Baoyi and was a gambler. He separated from his family and his wife returned home with her son."

Anyone who engages in gambling is prone to cheating.

Just by listening, I knew something was wrong with this coachman.

Brother Jiu was standing by and thought of how he had almost always checked three generations of Fujin's employees. Especially if he wanted to check the family tradition and those who were related to gambling, they would not be able to get a job in the Prince's Mansion.

As long as a gambler comes out, it will be a loophole. If the guarantee is not complete, it will be bribed to do harm.

Kangxi looked at his eldest brother and said, "Is Hongyu scared?"

He had a very good impression of his little grandson. He was an honest child, filial and friendly.

The eldest brother nodded and said: "I was scared, but I was also upset because I didn't hug Hong Qing properly."

Kangxi shook his head after hearing this and said, "You are of similar stature, so it's hard to protect your younger brother."

It can be seen that the cousins ​​are really close.

Kangxi glanced at his ninth elder brother, and it was a serious idea to let the emperor's grandchildren go to the study to study.

What did he see?

Brother Ninth is wandering off?

"What is Brother Jiu thinking?" Kangxi asked.

Brother Jiu said truthfully: "Khan Ama, the population of the Eight Banners has been booming in recent years, and there are too many idle people. It is good to go to the teahouse to carry cages, but there are also many people who gather for gambling in private. Is it called the Dutong Yamen?

Should we investigate the casino carefully? For example, is this coachman an old gambler or a new one who was lured to the casino? Nine out of ten gamblers are cheaters. If he is a new gambler and the gambler chases him, will he be able to find out what is behind the scenes?

man of?"

After hearing this, Kangxi thought for a moment and said: "Since it's Baoyi, the casino is probably located in the imperial city..."

As he said that, he looked at the seventh elder brother and said: "But just as the ninth elder brother guessed, let's check the relevant gambling situation."

The seventh elder brother agreed.

Everyone looked at Brother Ninth and had their own thoughts.

Although gambling is prohibited by law, everyone is idle during the New Year and New Year holidays, which is indeed the period when gambling is most common.

Brother Ninth got it right and wrong, and he couldn't possibly uncover a good clue.

At this moment, Liang Jiugong came back with the medicine and the imperial doctor.

However, when he came in, he reported first and said: "Your Majesty, the prince has asked for an audience and is waiting outside."

Kangxi did not speak, but looked at his eldest brother.

The eldest brother's face was calmer than expected.

Kangxi looked at his eldest brother and said: "This matter is not the prince's. The prince would not do such unpopular things."

The eldest brother looked at Kangxi but was speechless.

He also knew in his heart that it was unlikely to be the prince, but when he heard that Kangxi directly made a judgment without asking the prince, and being so protective, he felt a little uncomfortable.

What if?

What if it’s really the prince?

How about going against the grain and deliberately using such crude and crude methods?

If Third Brother hadn't taken action today, it's unclear whether Hong Yu and Hong Qing's lives could have been saved.

The eldest brother became stubborn and said: "Khan Ama, my son wants to hear what the prince has to say."

After hearing this, Kangxi's face became more unhappy and said: "You don't believe me, do you suspect that you are the prince?"

The eldest brother said: "My son doesn't know whether he doubts or not, and he doesn't know whether the prince believes or not and whether his son doubts or not."

Kangxi looked at his eldest brother, his heart heavy.

The worst result has occurred, and the brothers are suspicious.

He looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Tell the prince to come in!"

Liang Jiugong responded and brought the prince in.

The prince's face was tense, and he suppressed his anger. Looking at his expression, he seemed to have a stronger reaction than the eldest brother.

His expression naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Now in front of the emperor, the brothers were lined up on the left and right. Compared with the prince who was alone, it seemed that there were many people.

Seeing a group of princes and elder brothers in the room, the prince clenched his fists tightly.

What do you guys look like?

If I don't come over today, will I be blamed for it?!

"Khan Ama, my son never asked anyone to murder my little brother. If my son is really such a ruthless person, wouldn't all the princes in the house not be enough to plot against my son? Do you have to blame your nephew?"

The prince said firmly.

The Prince's team is behind the Queen Mother's team.

However, the news from the prince's side came relatively late. At first, I only heard that the carriage behind him was in an accident.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he got the confirmation that the accident was Hongyu's carriage.

Kangxi frowned and said: "What did Hun say? No one said that you murdered my little brother, and we arranged to investigate..."

The prince smiled bitterly and said: "If my son doesn't say anything now, he is afraid that it will be too late to turn back. I have searched here and there, but I can't say that it is the family related to Yuqing Palace. Otherwise, what would be the purpose of arranging this big show? Xiangzhuang's sword dance is just for Pei Gong."

The eldest brother looked at the prince.

The two have been rivals for half their lives, and the eldest brother actually believes in his heart that the prince was not the instigator of this matter.

But what about the people around the prince?

The prince lost two sons, and the remaining one had mediocre qualifications, almost like having no sons.

The only person who is qualified to be the prince's opponent is himself.

I only have a single seedling, Hongyu, and if I lose Hongyu, I will be almost as childless.

The prince would not do such a thing, but what about the prince's men?

Nowadays, Confucianism is respected, and there is no distinction between concubines and concubines. The prince has also assisted the emperor's father in handling government affairs for more than ten years.

Especially in recent years, Shengjia is away half the year every year, and his government affairs are handled by the prince and prime minister.

The prince's largest arm Suo Etu fell, and the "princeling party" was leaderless, but it did not disperse.

On the contrary, he was more sympathetic to the prince.

Who doesn’t miss Conglong’s merits?

Before there was the Suo'etu, even if everyone focused on the fat prince, they could only settle for the next best thing.

Now is the time when "the eight immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers". The annual gifts of Yuqing Palace in the past two years are even more abundant than in previous years.

I'm afraid that someone is willing to share the prince's worries.

When the prince later found out what his men had done, he would not kill his relatives out of righteousness, but would still find an opportunity to cover it up.

The eldest brother's observation irritated the prince.

The prince stared directly at the eldest brother and said: "Eldest brother thinks it is Gu who wants to harm Hong Yu?"

The eldest brother shook his head and said: "The prince was taught by Khan Ama step by step. I believe that the prince cannot do such a thing, but the prince also said it. It is impossible to say that it was done by someone related to Yuqing Palace. The prince did not know and was innocent.

, Hongyu is innocent, then who is not innocent?"
