The fourth master's expression became more and more serious as he listened to the fifth master's story.
"What do you suspect?" Fourth Master asked directly.
The Fifth Master looked at the expression on Long Live Master's face and whispered: "... I heard that Lao Ba collected a lot of evidence and evidence before... My brother suspects that the Cao family and the Li family are afraid..."
I'm afraid it has something to do with Lao Ba.
The two families were having trouble, and they secretly defected to Lao Ba. These two families were the late emperor's closest confidants, but when the late emperor grew old, he probably had more worries.
If they really chose Lao Ba and secretly became Lao Ba's arm, then maybe many things are connected and it makes sense.
Now that Lao Ba has fallen, Long live the Lord has the intention to attack those two families again. They are now anxious.
"Who gave it to the people in your house?" the fourth master asked the fifth master.
The Fifth Master shook his head, "Actually, it's difficult to investigate anymore. It took several attempts, but fundamentally speaking, it should still be the Li family. My brother arrested several women and tortured them. They couldn't tell their story.
Basically, someone would give them some money on a regular basis. If there was any useful information, the reward would be more. However, since last year, no one has given them any money anymore. In the Chen brother's house, Fujin still sees it.
It’s a tight count. Except for the news about the back house, nothing else has been missed.”
Fourth Master nodded, "I understand. You can tell Lao Jiu when you go back. The people around Lao Jiu and Lao Ten are probably..."
The Fifth Master thought in his heart that Lao Jiu knew that Lao Ba had let people go in his house, but he really found out nothing. If these people were all in the back house, or even some of them had children, it would be even worse.
Done.
Cold sweat broke out on his head, "Yes! Long live the Lord, don't worry."
The fourth master walked back from the fifth master and went back to the back hall.
When Lin Yutong heard about this, his heart pounded. "This is really hard to guard against."
Who would have thought that these beauties are the real spies. If it were really Ba Ye's handiwork, then this method would be really frightening.
"I... since I came to the throne, I have spent most of my time just dealing with the mess left by Lao Ba. Even so, I can't say that it has been cleaned up. No wonder Lao Ba is confident. He really should feel confident." Si
I sneered.
Lin Yutong thought to himself: Even if the Fourth Master’s blood drops are probably not as sinister as the Eighth Master’s beauty trap.
"Fortunately, you have me." Lin Yutong comforted the fourth master.
Fourth Master smiled and said in a very condescending manner: "Yes! Without you, I really can't say for sure."
After hearing what his brother said, Master Jiu was stunned for a moment. He understood the meaning of each word of these words, but the meaning of them together made Master Jiu a little confused.
"You mean...Bago is here with me...the spy he keeps here may be a woman..." Master Jiu's voice was wrong.
My brother arranged for a woman to spy on him, what kind of experience was it?
Brother, he has always regarded him as a real brother.
Women have never been treated badly. Regardless of whether they are favored or not, they have never suffered any grievances.
Today, some people tell me that brothers and women have joined forces to betray themselves. No! Or maybe brothers have never been brothers, and women have never had themselves in their hearts.
You are simply a joke!
"Perhaps, you don't have it here, it's because I'm overly concerned." Mr. Wu couldn't bear it.
Master Jiu chuckled, and searched the entire house, checking everything he could, but couldn't find the person Lao Ba had placed. He always thought that he had wronged Lao Ba in this matter. He didn't expect it!
This is what happened.
Who would be so honest as to doubt his own woman? I have never treated them badly.
Master Jiu stood up suddenly, then his vision went dark and he fell down.
The Fourth Master sent three orders of imperial doctors in succession before he regained consciousness.
Jiu Fujin rarely said anything sarcastic this time, "You have to think about it this way. You haven't fallen into any trap with so many tricks. It shows that we are still lucky."
Master Jiu patted Jiu Fujin's hand. This silly woman had no idea what she was feeling sad about.
The hot weather in Beijing seemed to have cooled down because of this incident.
Which mansion doesn't have such a person? Without Fourth Master's order, every mansion has started to clean up on its own.
I heard that she had given birth to a child, but she escaped the disaster, but was sent to Zhuangzi. She was afraid that she would fall ill and die soon.
By the time Honghui returned from Jiangnan, it was already August.
The property of the Cao family in Lijiahe was confiscated, but everyone was brought back to the capital. The emperor gave them a house and two villages, which was considered a favor to the former emperor's old ministers and he did not kill anyone.
Honghui told Lin Yutong about the Cao family: "...the cost of building that garden was really too high. It can't keep up with Changchun Garden, but it can also keep up with the old Summer Palace." Today's Old Summer Palace is still being expanded, so naturally it can't be compared.
.
"Everyone in the house is dressed in gold and silver. Our family is not as extravagant as theirs."
All they talked about were trivial things that could be discussed. Nothing related to government affairs was mentioned.
But the next day, the fourth master rewarded Honghui with a beile. At the same time, Hongyun had made great contributions in preparing food and fodder, and was also canonized as a beizi.
After Honghui finished washing up in the room, he checked Hongzhao's homework again.
But I heard that Hongxi was visiting.
Hong Hui was slightly startled, stood up, and went out personally, "Second brother is here. I just said that I had read Hong Zhao's homework and went to sit with him. I didn't expect you to come first."
Hong Xi smiled, "I just want to hear what you have to say about the customs and customs outside."
Honghui had tanned a lot during this trip. When asked, he shook his head and said, "I didn't dare to walk by water all the way, for fear of encountering heavy rains and flash floods, and the rivers would surge. I rested in the inn during the day and drove at night. Don't mention this pain.
It’s still local customs. All day long, you can see the sun on both sides. It’s pitch black at night, what can you see through the moonlight?”
Hong Xi laughed: "It's really hard for you. It's you too, and others can't bear this crime."
Honghui shook his head, "I always want to go out and be cool. Who knows that people outside are really evil. Speaking of the Li family, you would never expect that the objects given by the late emperor are placed in the main hall, and everyone who enters their house
, no matter who you are, you have to kowtow first before you finish."
Hong Xi took a breath, "This is really out of proportion. Is it forcing you too?"
Honghui reached out and took out the Nine Dragon Pendant hanging around his neck, "This was also given by Huang Ma Fa Yu. Until I took this out, the Li family was not arrogant. But even so, the people below also incited many people.
Making trouble...don't mention it. But the Cao family is much more knowledgeable than the Li family." He chuckled, "The Cao family is willing to accept their fate and go through all kinds of troubles, so the whole family can save their lives. The Li family is only afraid that... Huang Ama will not
I will treat it lightly." The reason why we are not dealing with it now is because the period of filial piety has not passed.
Hongxi nodded with a calm expression, indicating his agreement. After chatting for a few more words, he stood up and left, "You're tired too, so take a rest early."
Hong Xi walked out of Hong Hui's yard, the look on his face was a bit unbearable.
There is really something in the words.
The Cao family will survive if they accept their fate. The Li family will not show mercy if they do not accept their fate.
This is another warning to yourself.
Hong Zhao showed his head from inside and asked Hong Hui, "What did the elder brother mean by what he just said to him?"
Oh! At such a young age, I realized that drinking is not what a drunkard cares about.
"Have you finished memorizing everything I asked you to memorize?" Hong Hui suppressed the smile on his lips and glared at Hong Zhao with a cold face.
Sure enough, the little one stuck out his tongue and retracted it.
The sky outside became gloomy, and suddenly it became a bit hot again. A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, followed by bursts of thunder. I remembered the sound of rain outside.
The window was open, and Honghui looked at the rain outside.
The Li family and the Cao family had indeed taken refuge with their eighth uncle. But ever since the Li family wanted to hook up with Hong Yun and saw that Hong Yun's reaction was not strong, they actually dared to flirt with Hong Xi.
He only noticed some clues, but no real evidence.
He also told Ama this, but Ama didn't speak for a long time.
He was actually feeling a little sad. There were not many people like Amma who were broad-minded and could tolerate the prince.
But Hongxi's restlessness probably made Amma a little sad.
Now, Hong Xi is really unable to move.
From a human perspective, as long as Prince Li is still alive, Amma will not touch Hongxi. This is Amma's respect for her second uncle.
In terms of gains and losses, Hong Xi's identity really has many special features. If he dies, his reputation and that of Huang Ama will probably be ruined. People in the world will speculate that they, father and son, cannot tolerate others.
So, Amma was silent.
The reason why Prince Li kept Hongxi in the palace was because he was afraid that he would become someone else's pawn. But the memory that he was born as the prince's son and the emperor's eldest grandson made him unable to get down from his high position. He was not willing to be ordinary. He He probably feels that everything he owns should originally belong to him.
Honghui turned over and saw Hongzhao lying next to his bed, "Brother, let me tell you something."
"Tell me." Hong Hui envied Hong Zhao. He didn't know how his body grew, but he was born to be good at martial arts. In less than two years, it would be difficult for him to control him.
"I heard from Hong Yu that Hong Xi has a good relationship with his cousins from his uncle's family now." Hong Zhao curled his lips, "But the second brother said that this Hong Yu is also unkind. He told me to ignore them."
Honghui smiled carelessly, "Your second brother is right. You are too young to play with them. Be smarter in the future and don't get close to them when you meet them."
Born in a royal family, no one is stupider than anyone else.
Although the weather has cooled down, people's hearts have started to sway.
The fourth master leaned on the couch, feeling a little tired, "Some things are destined to never stop. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to live up to my second brother."
But Lin Yutong said that the problem lies in the hearts of the people. When Hongxi was the late emperor, he had the intention to compete with these uncles, but now he is not willing to surrender. Unless the fourth master is willing to give the throne to him, the so-called 'orthodox'. (. )
