What a suo'etu...

Shu Shu couldn't believe it.

Brother Ninth had already gritted his teeth and told the answer: "It's that old guy from Hirazon!"

Shu Shu was shocked.

What a big fish!

Hirazon is not only the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also a senior general manager.

It has been more than thirty years since Kangxi was appointed as the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the fifth year of Kangxi's reign.

It is conceivable that this person must be a confidant of the emperor, otherwise he would not have been the general manager for so many years.

It was this person who arranged the engagement between Shu Shu and Brother Jiu.

"Why?"

Shu Shu found it unbelievable and recalled what Brother Jiu had just said: "Did he seek refuge with the prince? He also contributed to the rumors last time?"

"That's him... I thought it was an oversight at the time, but now that I think about it, the bullshit oversight is a sincere one..."

Brother Jiu sneered.

Shu Shu always felt something was wrong.

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the second-rank official, but because he is a close minister of the emperor, his status is not much worse than that of Dajiu Qing.

Hirazon is in his sixtieth year and is about to enter official service.

What is the purpose of such a person being a "princeling" and helping to murder the eldest brother?

"What's the purpose? To help the prince?"

Shu Shu asked out her doubts.

If he really had contact with Yuqing Palace in private, would the emperor tolerate it?

Kangxi was in his prime, and he had not yet become deaf, blind or deceived.

"Who knows... maybe it's to curry favor with them, or maybe it's just for personal vendetta... Anyway, he didn't run away this time..."

Brother Jiu took out some pieces of paper: "The ranch steward followed his order and prepared the tigers and black bears. The bear keeper was his distant nephew... His people were also there to pass the message in the dining room, except for the honey.

Mahua, and some honey fruits..."

"Then... what kind of personal hatred is..."

Shu Shu still felt weird.

A veteran general manager of more than 30 years, he is like an arm waving his fingers from top to bottom in this house of internal affairs.

Using such a crude strategy to harm people?

Also, the cost of exposure is too great. It is the crime of exterminating a family and genocide. Do you not think twice before taking action?

The older you are in the world, the less courage you have.

I'm afraid that an old man in his 60s, even though he has great-grandchildren, is so determined to go all out?

"His son was not born early. The eldest grandson was the boss's son. In the 29th year of Kangxi's reign, he followed the boss to conquer Ulan Butong and fell off his horse and died..."

Brother Jiu frowned and said: "He originally had a grandson who only became a young man this year. The boss remembered this and asked someone to leave an errand for him early. As a result, there was a cold wind in March..."

"There is no other bloodline anymore?"

Shu Shu asked.

Both of these sound like accidents. Why are you so angry with the eldest brother because of this?

How could such a paranoid and rebellious person hide this from Kangxi for so many years?

"There is also a granddaughter... who married into the Wei family and is Bage's aunt. She died during childbirth a few years ago..."

Speaking of this, he said bitterly: "No wonder Ba Fujin has a bad reputation in the palace. Last time he involved me in it for the purpose of Ba Fu..."

Shu Shu couldn't sit still and said hurriedly: "Go and report to the emperor quickly..."

Regardless of whether what Ninth Brother found out is true, or whether others are preparing to let him know, at this point, the next step is to keep it secret.

Brother Jiu hesitated: "It's already past the third watch? It's time to rest at Khan Ama's place. I originally wanted to go to the Imperial Palace tomorrow morning..."

Khan Ama is diligent in his work and usually wakes up before the fifth watch, which leaves only two hours.

"Delay will lead to change!"

Shu Shu thought about the serious relationship: "It would be okay if he really committed suicide out of fear of crime, but if he was 'committed to suicide', there is no way that a basin of dirty water would still be held on me and Qi Ye..."

It is not a good reputation for two princes to investigate the Ministry of Internal Affairs, intimidate senior ministers, and cause people to die.

Brother Jiu woke up, got up and got off the kang: "You're right, I'll go right away..."

The ninth elder brother left in a hurry.

Shu Shu looked at the door and had a bad feeling.

I'm afraid it's too late.

She originally wanted to wait for her ninth brother to come back, but she couldn't bear it after an hour. When the fourth watch clapper sounded, she fell into a drowsy sleep.

When I opened my eyes, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Fortunately, the female family members had nothing to do today, and the girls did not wake up early.

She was full of sleep and resurrected with full blood.

"Master hasn't come back yet?"

Shu Shu took out her pocket watch and looked at it. It was already correct.

"without……"

Walnut responded, with hesitation on his face.

Shu Shu glanced at her and said, "What news is there from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? About me?"

This person is retained so as not to cut off the relationship with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and avoid becoming deaf and blind.

But Walnut's background affects her stance.

I hope she can make a wise choice.

Walnut hurriedly said: "It's not about this, it's over in the dining room... The new steward came in person this morning, brought a bunch of ingredients, and also gave the slave money, thinking of asking the slave to help with a kind word.

, I didn’t dare to accept it... Sister Xiaotang asked me to accept it first, and wait for the master’s instructions..."

Saying that, he took out a purse.

Inside are small and delicate gold cakes.

Two ounces each, a total of four ounces.

You must know that the annual salary of a registered palace lady like Walnut is only six taels of silver.

This is already six or seven years' annual salary, which can be described as a great gift.

"A relative you know?"

Shu Shu asked.

Otherwise, Walnut would not be used as a gateway to camp.

Just like the nobles of the Eight Banners who have relatives, the same is true for the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Well, he's my aunt's brother. He used to be the master of the imperial dining room. He came out with the retinue. Yesterday, he was acting as the general manager of the dining room..."

Walnuts responded honestly.

Shu Shu remembered that Walnut's uncle was a person who had written a letter from inside, so this aunt should be referring to this person's family.

A few days ago, I heard Xiaosong say that Ama, who is a walnut, is not very smart and did not take up errands. The older generation did not separate the family. Now her uncle and aunt are the head of the family.

The brothers who live with my aunt are also relatively close in-laws.

Shu Shu thinks it's pretty good.

Although the couple wanted to leave the palace, it would take a year and a half even if it was quick.

It is much more convenient to have an acquaintance in the imperial dining room.

Moreover, this person was promoted because he had the advantage of Ninth Prince's investigation in the dining room.

"Keep it, I'll ask you later..."

I have to live in Mulan Paddock for another twenty days.

But it's not just stationed here.

After all, with the Eight Banners guards dispatched, Qiuyi became a military exercise.

A small paddock of prey, a hunt.

After two or three days, we will go to the next small paddock.
