The 15th time, Yinsi was ordered to investigate the prison and cover up the bad deeds of the old nine envoys
Zhang Wu Ge's "white duck killing" case caused a stir in the government and the public. The eighth prince Yinhu was ordered to lead a group of people to the Ministry of Justice. Among many elder brothers, this was the only one who was completely independent in his work. Yinhu naturally knew that this matter was very important.
As usual, he hurriedly entered the palace to see him, and the emperor gave him the opportunity. After returning to the Ministry of Punishment, Yinhu ordered people to seal the prison and lock up the files of the Ministry of Punishment. When the civil and military officials saw that Yinhu acted so decisively and capable, some admired him.
, some were scared, some were surprised. Early on the morning of the seventh day, Yinhu rode in a sedan chair to the main hall of the Punishment Department in Shengjiang Hutong. The Yulin Army of the Yamen sect, the infantry commander, had taken over the defense of the Punishment Department, and they marched three steps, one post, and five steps along the wall.
A whistle was sent, and the killing was very serious. After getting off the sedan, Yinhu bowed down and came out. He saw Longkodo coming to fight Qian'er and said: "Eighth master, in accordance with your order, officials above the commander's level gathered in the second hall to handle errands."
, No private communication is allowed. Although the gates and defenses here are all owned by the nine admirals, the Zhao Junmen are all assigned to the slaves. Regarding matters outside, if the Eighth Master has any orders, just tell the slaves."
"It's hard to be careful when doing errands for you. Even military officials can only do this. I can't tell that you are an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs! Just stay outside and report to me directly if you have anything." After that, he stepped up the steps and stayed there.
Goshiha at the door shouted: "Master Babeile is here!"
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. Yinhu was walking in the middle wearing a tuanlongjiangya seawater robe and a dongzhu crown on his head, followed by sixteen guards with swords and thirty-two eunuchs. The officials of the Ministry of punishment who were sitting dumbly said "hu"
He stood up on the ground, his horse-hooves sleeves clattering loudly. The Manchu minister Santer, and the Han minister Tang Fucheng took a step forward, kowtowed and said: "The guilty ministers are waiting to kowtow to welcome the imperial envoy. Please send your greetings to the Holy Spirit. Please greet the eighth master."
!”
"Holy greetings!" Yinzhu said in agreement with a raised face. He changed his smile and said: "Two adults, please get up. Everyone, please get up!" After saying that, he sat down at the middle desk and Fang Tuantuan said: "This time, Benbeile is ordered to conduct an investigation.
It has been seven days since I was ordered to go to the prison. Everyone must be very busy!" He glanced at everyone, and they all stayed up late until their faces turned pale. "The state sets up punishments to educate the people, and uses laws to bring misbehavior to the people. The original purpose is to punish evil and promote good.
, to appease the people, so that the good people can have their livelihoods entrusted, and the evil and evil bandits have nothing to do with their violence. It is really the purpose of obeying nature and serving the people, maintaining health and educating people. However, in the important place of the capital, such a cruel thing as "white duck slaughter" actually happened, which is despicable
This is a great shame to the Ministry of Punishment! After days of inspection by Ben Beile, there are currently forty-eight criminals awaiting trial, and four of them have been found to be innocent - shocking! Therefore, Ben Beile has to report the impeachment based on the truth!
The emperor has entrusted you, and ask yourself, are you worthy of the deep benevolence of the Qing Dynasty? Are you worthy of my emperor's kindness in caring for the people?!" After saying that, he turned around, stood up according to the case, slapped the wooden door, and shouted sternly: "Long Ke
Come in more!"
Longkodo was standing guard at the door of the detention room of the Ministry of Punishment, supervising the soldiers to move the boxes of prison manuscripts. Yinsu was talking inside and could hear clearly. I didn't expect that once the "Eight Buddhas" changed their faces, they would be so strong! Hearing the call to come in,
Long Keduo stepped in hurriedly, lowered his hands and replied: "I'm here! What is the constitution of the Eighth Master?"
"Go to Santerre, and Tang Baocheng will wear it!"
"twitter!"
Longkodo agreed and walked towards the pale-faced Santerre. But Tang Zhicheng didn't care. He sneered and took off his hat and handed it to Longkodo.
Secretly satisfied, he issued an order: "From today on, the other officials do not need to go back to their residences, take off their clothes and mend their clothes, and temporarily do business in the Yamen. But please rest assured, I am very tolerant and will not mistreat you. I will understand the situation and take care of myself."
reason."
After saying that, Yinhu went straight to the signing room to review the documents. As soon as he sat down, he saw Jiubeizi Yinhuang striding in with his face glowing red. Yinhu smiled and said: "I thought you were seriously ill, so I wanted to have a clue about how to handle the matter.
I just went over to see you. I didn't expect you to come here. It doesn't matter how you look. I just need to take care of myself!" Yinzhen just smiled, waved his hand to make everyone leave, lifted up his clothes and sat down, saying: "Your brother is thinking about you.
Looking at me, I miss you even more! It seems that you are seriously ill, Bage. Do you want me to find a doctor to come and take a look at you?" Yinzhen has always been in the city and is serious in speech. These words made Yinsu shocked.
, as if caught in the fog, he laughed and said: "What are you talking about? I don't understand it at all!"
"I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, just because I am in this mountain!" Yinzhen smiled gloomily and said, "Brother Bage, you are the most popular among our more than 20 brothers. Do you know why people support you for everything?
You?" Yinzhen waved his fan and said with a smile: "When it comes to 'popularity', how can we talk about it? It's just that I have always been kind to others, treated people righteously, and never misbehaved easily, so people are willing to get close to me." Yinzhen stared at Yinzhen.
Hu, said: "But looking at today's situation, it seems that Bago is preparing to destroy the Great Wall?"
After hearing this, Yinsu was startled, raised his face and thought for a moment, then asked with a smile: "I am on an errand, so how can I call it 'self-destruction of the Great Wall'? Who is my Great Wall? How can I 'self-destruct'? I would like to hear the details!"
Yinzhen ignored Yinzhen's question, stood up, looked at the door, and shouted: "Fourteenth brother, come in! Brother Batsu is waiting!" After that, he went straight away.
The fourteenth elder brother Yin strode in wearing a yellow belt and a bamboo green robe. Behind him was a companion in his fifties. Yinhu recognized Ren Boan at a glance and couldn't help being surprised, but pretended not to
Paying attention, he only bowed to Yin and said with a smile: "You have returned to Beijing? How is the drought in Gansu and Shaanxi?"
"Long time no see!" Yin said with cupped hands. He had just turned 20 this year and looked very similar to his half-brother Yinzhen, but his personality was just like that of Yinxiang, and he was very forthright. He called Qian'er to say hello, and then
Waving his fan, he said with a smile: "Myna, I haven't seen you for three days, and I'm really impressed! You actually made the Penalty Department yamen go crazy! Just now, when the brothers came in, they saw this guy from the Penalty Department, who is usually so evil.
At this moment, everyone is like a dead mother. The patches on the official robes have been ripped off, the tatters are thrown away, and the dejected ones have become homeless dogs!" After saying this, he laughed. Yinhu glanced at the silent ones.
Ren Bo'an smiled and said: "You and your fourth brother are from the same mother, how come you have such a temperament? It's better to restrain your madness, and it won't make the people below you laugh!" Then he turned around and said: "Ren Bo'an, what are you doing in the Ministry of Punishment?
?Originally, I shouldn’t have interfered with your affairs. You belong to the Ninth Master. I just heard that you paid for the famine debts owed by the Sixth Master, the Seventh Master, and the Fifteenth Master. Where did you get so much money? Now
You come to the Ministry of Punishment to hit the wooden clock again? You must know that I am in the Ministry of Punishment, and you will inevitably suffer!" After saying that, he ate his tea with a blank face. Ren Bo'an bowed and replied: "Master Cheng is asking, I have a little money selling medicine in Yunnan.
I don’t dare to call myself rich with a few dollars, but I rely on the support of Master Jiu. Even though the villain is ignorant, he still knows that it is easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree. If the master is proud, the slave will naturally live better. Money is something outside the body. If you don’t bring it with you in life, you won’t take it with you in death.
.What's mine is the master's, there is no difference. To be honest with the Eighth Master, not only the Sixth Master, the Seventh Master, the Fifteenth Master, but also the Tenth Master owes more than 100,000, Xiao Yuan also wants to sell a porcelain manor in Jingdezhen to pay off the debt.
Come on, it's just..." Yinhu wanted to ask him why he followed Yin to the Ministry of Punishment, but when he heard that Wang Gu was talking about him, he sneered and said: "It's really hard for your heart. I really stand for my brother and my brothers.
Thank you!"
Ren Bo'an pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "The Eighth Master made a mistake with the villain. I mean, how can you make so much money just by doing business? I said, this is only possible because of the support of the Eighth Master and everyone else!"
For example, that year, the Eighth Master invited Zhang Deming to see his face and rewarded him with 10,000 silver. He presided over Baiyun Temple. What did he need so much money for? He gave it all to the villain. This is the same as the Eighth Master rewarded the villain and also rewarded him.
Isn't it the same? Dear brothers, some are opening copper mines in Yunnan, some are collecting gold mine tariffs in Xing'anling, and some are digging ginseng outside the willow branches. To put it bluntly, if there are no people under the villain to maintain it there,
, there are bound to be mistakes. If you borrow national debt, it is just a matter of the predecessors spreading ashes to confuse the eyes of future generations. Brother, if you pull out a single hair, it will be thicker than a villain's waist! Without your care, it will fall apart.
Even if we get a small amount of fodder, we still have an ox and a horse.”
After hearing what Ren Bo'an said, Yinhu's head felt dizzy. The things he did like to open a copper mine, collect gold taxes, dig ginseng, and have Zhang Deming look at his face were all his own privacy, which violated both national and ancestral family laws.
.Everything must not be known to Kangxi. What is the prince doing when he is in a position of superiority and reading faces in private? What's more, he also said "the king adds white" at that time. Once it is leaked, he will be charged with treason! In Yinsu's eyes
A flash of light flashed: He had understood the true meaning of Lao Jiu's illness.
"Eighth Master," Ren Bo'an seemed to have read through Yinhu's thoughts, he bowed humbly and said: "Little Ji understands that the law is not spread to the six ears! Not to mention the Tian family, it is an ordinary family. How dare you go in and mess around without any reason?
Mr. Ba, I’m here to plead with the people in the Ministry of Punishment. I’m not doing anything wrong by saying that I’m ‘banging the wooden bell’. Why do you care about them? Since ancient times, how many officials like Yu Chenglong and Shi Shilun have been there?
Who doesn't care about money? You have always been the most tolerant of the Buddha. Therefore, the civil and military officials in the court are most likely hoping that you will make further progress. But now such a killing and killing has chilled everyone's heart.
I’m afraid it will be difficult to warm up again!”
He spoke very calmly, and from time to time he rolled his eyes to look at Yinhu's expression. These words were both threatening and comforting, warning and persuading. The more Yinhu listened, the more he felt about this person.
Awesome, a thought suddenly came to me: While you have the power at this moment, why not put him in front of the beheading, and everything will be settled in one fell swoop?
Just as he was whirling his thoughts, with murderous intent about to break out, Yin came in in the turbulent wind outside, but he didn't notice Ren Bo'an, who was wearing long clothes. Seeing that Yin was there, he just hugged Yin's shoulders and said with a smile: "Old Fourteen is back?"
He turned to Yinhu and said excitedly: "Brother Bage! I went to Shuntian Mansion and found out everything. There was nothing wrong with Long Keduo. Of the eight death row inmates in Shuntian Mansion, three of them were not upright! I was annoyed. According to this,
It looks like he has imprisoned all the officials below the governor! His grandma, Ren Boan, the turtle grandson, looks so honest, but in fact, the three death row prisoners were all exchanged by him - he has to find a way not to
Brother Ninth is involved. This beast Ren Bo'an can't be kept!" Just as he was talking enthusiastically, Ren Bo'an standing aside smiled and said: "Master Ten, Ren Bo'an is here. Master Fourteen has brought me to surrender. I'm here to listen to Eighth Brother.
Master, Master Ten’s downfall!”
Yin was startled at first, then said angrily: "I thought you were a good person, but it turns out you are doing such 'good things' down there! No wonder you have so much money! There was Ren An in the Han Dynasty, a virtuous and famous minister
.You dare to call me Ren Bo'an. It shows that you are not a serious person! Bastard, kneel down!" He took off his clothes and didn't care about anything. He slapped Ren Bo'an across the face, causing him to stagger and hit his left cheek.
The top five fingerprints suddenly swelled.
"Master Shi, your head won't hit the ground with a scar like a bowl, why are you like this?" Ren Bo'an was caught off guard and took a step back. His face was very ferocious, but he regained his composure in an instant and said unhurriedly: "Anyway, I am also for Shi.
For those of you who have worked for me and sacrificed your life, please let me finish my words. Not only me, but also my family and He Zhuer’s family will be grateful for your kindness!"
Yin's eyebrows widened and he sneered and said: "What do you think I have in your hands! - What's your intention of involving He Zhu'er in this? I think you are getting tired of living!" Ren Bo'an said with a sinister smile: "Ten
Why did you forget... The year before last, your housekeeper came to me with your letter and asked me to make snow lotus. He said that He Meng prepared medicine for the prince. I think this snow lotus medicine is the most dry. What is the use of it besides making medicine?
?I got the prescription from He Zhuer and saw that there was no such medicine in it! Even though I was doubtful and fearful, I still tried my best to follow the instructions - I heard that the prince had used this medicine and the effect was very good!
Isn’t this just working for you, Tenth Master? If Long Live Master finds out about this, what if the nine clans that destroyed me will never be destroyed?” Although Yin was rude, he was not stupid. After a moment of surprise, he exchanged glances with Yinhu, holding his hands.
He approached Ren Bo'an with the knife on his waist and said with a ferocious smile: "Since you are so filial, you are very good! I have always suffered from lung disease, and human blood steamed buns can cure it. How about you help me get another one?"
"Slow down." Yin stretched out his hand to stop him and said with a smile, "Tenth Brother, he was given to me by Ninth Brother. I am afraid that someone will kill him. If one of his men makes a mistake tomorrow, Bage will not be able to make up for it!"
Seeing his master come out to speak, Ren Boan's shyness disappeared again, and he said with a muffled laugh: "Master Shi, if you kill me, it's just like trampling on an ant. What's the big deal? Don't talk about the thing below me.
Desperate man, Master Shi, please think about it, it was He Zhuer who killed him, can you kill him? Orundai also knows about collecting gold taxes, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to do it! If you kill me, they are afraid that they will
If you don’t want to stand for Master Ten, Master Eight is hiding something!”
Yinsu was very surprised that his ninth brother and his fourteenth brother were doing this behind his back. By now he had understood that he could not move against Ren Boan for the time being. Then he stood up with a giggle and said, "Old Ren, although you are from a humble background, you have
It’s not easy to have the demeanor of a national soldier and not be surprised at every change! Lao Shi just wants to test your courage. How can you kill someone with a sword in the prison room of the Ministry of Justice? This place is not suitable for staying for a long time. As for the case, we
Brothers, if we discuss it again, there will naturally be some twists and turns. You go back and tell Lao Jiu that I will visit him after dinner."
As soon as Ren Bo'an went out, Yin stared and said: "Old Fourteen, the gongs and drums are just ringing here, and you come to stir up trouble. What does this mean? I have always respected you and Brother Ninth, how can you learn to be sneaky?
Now that the second, fourth, and thirteenth sons have failed in their jobs at the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is just an opportunity for you and me to show off our skills! You must have extra intentions and make it clear early on. Bridges will return to bridges and roads will return to their own paths. It is not easy for us to part ways.
What's wrong! Could it be that if you stop me today, I can't kill Ren Bo'an, this lackey?" Yinhu didn't say anything, but frowned worriedly.
Yin chuckled and said: "Tenth Brother, please don't wrong me and Ninth Brother. Why did Old Thirteen fail in his mission? It's because he overestimated his own capabilities and insisted on swimming against the current. I discussed it with Ninth Brother and decided to be like
With this method, Bage failed even more miserably than Brother Thirteen - this matter is much more difficult than collecting an account! Moreover, many things involve our brothers, which offends these people and stings on the head, and there is no place to hide!
That’s why Ninth Brother asked me to take Ren Bo’an to report to the police!”
Yinsu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that what Yin said was indeed reasonable, because he sighed: "Lao Jiu is very profound in his wisdom. But the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment are really unbearable. How can I get rid of people's lives like this? Besides, I am on an errand according to the order.
If you have done nothing, how can you explain it to the emperor? No matter what you say, I will always deal with him!"
"If Bage thinks so, I won't have to come here anymore." Yin said with a smile, "If you are really digging, you have to dig into your own hall." Yinhu pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Is there anything I don't understand?
, the money I paid back for so many people contains the proceeds of "killing white ducks". But for such a big matter, the government and the public pay attention to it, and domestic and foreign countries care about it. If I handle it like a lukewarm swallow, I will have no momentum or influence.
Fourth brother, are you sure?" Yin couldn't help but grinned and said: "That's right! I have figured it out now. The thunder was loud and the ground was wet. We must deal with these obvious villains severely.
A few demonstrations and whitewashing——"
"Shut up, what are you talking about!" Yinsu shouted in a low voice, his face as cold as frost, "What do you know? This is just a stop-gap measure! As the emperor's elder brother, the country's officials are so bad.
, I am heartbroken! However, it is difficult to recover from the long-standing pursuit and the turmoil caused by the government. I cannot protect myself, so how can I bring order to the chaos anyway? Therefore, we cannot do more, but we must deal with a few strictly. If we can deter corrupt officials, our errands will be considered.
Success!" Yin listened and couldn't help but nodded and smiled: "It's just too cheap for Ren Bo'an. How can he have any rules when he just talked nonsense? Among the six departments, four out of ten people were hijacked by him. Now the one with the upper hand is just a shameless person.
Even we are threatening him! This kind of ungrateful grandson, I - I think it is appropriate to kill him with one blow!"
Yinhu said "hmm", stood up, walked a few steps gracefully, and asked Yin with a smile: "I really had murderous intentions just now. But now I seem to have realized something. The fourth brother, the ninth brother did it
Is this person in charge of the 'Hundred Officials Xingshu' file?" Yin glanced at Yinhu with admiration and said with a smile: "I just knew about it. This matter is almost done. Brother Ninth said there are still a few more to go.
I can’t figure out what happened when the imperial official was abroad. Once the copy is clear, I’ll pack it up and seal it. The place has been chosen—Ren Bo’an, there’s a way!”
"So we can't touch Ren Bo'an. But it's not appropriate for Ren to do anything in the future. Ask Lao Jiu to send a message to him, and ask him to come to my house tomorrow night. I have something to say!" He said to Yin who was standing in a daze, "Don't worry.
, Ren Boan can’t fly to the sky!”
Just as he was talking, he saw two people coming in surrounded by several guards. When Yinti looked carefully, it was the eldest brother Yinti and the thirteenth brother Yinxiang. Yinti and others stood up to greet them. Yinti did not wait for them to say hello.
Greetings and saying:
"There is a will!"
Yinzhu and others did not know their origins, so they knelt down and kowtowed: "My sons, please listen to the holy edict respectfully!"
Yinti was fair and fat, and had a natural Chinese-character face, with pimples on his face. He squinted at Yinti, and said unhurriedly: "Yinxiang, the thirteenth son of the emperor, together with Yinzu, Yin went to the Ministry of Punishment
The Imperial Envoy Minister Yinhu is assisting in handling the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment. I express my gratitude to you!"
"I accept the order!" Yinzhu and Yin kowtowed together and replied. Yinhu and others saluted Yinti again and said hello. Yin said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, big brother. Your body is becoming more and more enviable. Tsk, tsk,
How come we didn’t even say a warm word to each other when we met? I came back from Shaanxi, but I brought you a clear mud Qin brick inkstone! It’s as bright as copper, as hard as iron, and as loud as a chime! I’ll give you some of your old rainwater.
Would you like to thank me?"
After that, several brothers looked at each other and laughed. Yinxiang said with a smile: "Brother Bage, you are my immediate boss again! Don't worry, Old Thirteen will naturally fight for your face!" Yinsu said hurriedly: "Thirteenth
Brother, please don’t say such foreign words. What I love the most is that you and my fourteenth brother have such a temperament. They dare to speak, act, get angry, and laugh - you were not like this when you were young!" Yin Ye smiled and said: "Big boys can also change.
It’s getting better and better!”
"Bago!" Yinxiang said after laughing for a while, "Just now I was waiting for my elder brother at the entrance of the criminal department, and I saw a man going out, like Ren Bo'an from your mansion! I called him several times and he didn't answer. Is it because my ears are not working well?
?”
One sentence of the question made several people's faces turn as white as paper. Yinhu giggled and said: "There is no one named Ren Boan in my house, but there is one in Laojiu's house. I heard that he was very restless, and Laojiu has sent him out of the capital. Only
I'm afraid you've got the wrong person - there are so many people with similar looks in the world!" After saying that, everyone laughed and chatted for a while before they dispersed. (To be continued)
