Prince of the Qing Dynasty

When Shi Shi first saw Gu Shi's appearance, he was startled immediately, and he didn't know why Gu Shi had such a frightened and miserable appearance.

After hearing Gu's cry, Shi fell silent.

Seeing that Shi Shi didn't speak, Mrs. Gu was afraid that Mrs. Shi would hesitate, so she cried again: "Princess Concubine, if you don't help this slave, Ling Pu will not be able to pass this test. If he can't, I'm afraid he will hurt the prince! Slave! There is no place to raise all the money, so please ask the princess to take pity on the servants and help a bunch of servants! Otherwise, Ling Pu's life will be gone!"

"The servant knows that this is the fault of Ling Pu alone. It is the crime of the servants to let the princess come to end the situation for the servants. However, the matter has come to this point. When the servant was at home, he beat and scolded him, but he still insisted. Solve this matter, otherwise, if Babeile finds out and stabs Long Live Lord, the servants will really lose their lives!"

Mrs. Gu cried very emotionally, but Mrs. Shi kept staring at Mrs. Gu silently. When Mrs. Gu cried enough and stopped talking, Mrs. Shi opened her mouth: "Nurse, this matter is too big. I'm afraid I can't make the decision. I'd better ask Mammy to wait, and I'll ask the prince to come and talk to Mammy."

It's not that Shi can't come up with the 30 taels of silver, or she just opened her mouth to her natal family to move her own dowry money, or she still has some, but she doesn't want to take it all out.As she herself said, this matter involved too much, and she could not do such a thing without telling Yinreng. She felt that, in the final analysis, Ling Pu was Yinreng's father-in-law, and Yinreng should know about this matter.

"If the crown prince agrees, I will immediately transfer the money to make up the shortfall for the mother."

Naturally, Mrs. Gu did not want this matter to be known by Yinreng, but after hearing what Mrs. Shi said, Mrs. Gu had no choice but to hold a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that Yinreng would be able to do so because of the love she had shared for so many years. Give them a hand.

After Yinreng learned about Ling Pu's incident, he was more indifferent to Gu's crying than Shi's reaction.

He looked at Mrs. Gu as if he was looking at a stranger: "Nurse, when Ling Pu was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I warned you that the money in the internal treasury is very important and should not be touched lightly, and the accounts are even more important. Be clean and innocent, without the slightest mistake. In the years to come, I have told you more than once to be careful. But in the end, Ling Pu still caused this disaster. Being greedy for gambling and debts, Misappropriating money from the internal treasury to pay off debts, you really opened my eyes!"

Gu cried again: "My lord, Ling Pu already knew he was wrong, so I beg you to help Ling Pu pass this test! If the emperor finds out about Ling Pu, Ling Pu's life is not a pity to die, but It will implicate the crown prince!"

"Now you know that you will implicate me? Why didn't you think of it when you gambled and borrowed money?"

Yinfeng sneered and said, "Mother, this deficit has nothing to do with me, I will not make it up for Ling Pu. Besides, even if I make up the deficit, the account of the deficit still exists, and now Ling Pu is gone. It's not the head of the House of Internal Affairs, if the eighth elder brother finds any clues, how can he let me go? At that time, Huang Ama will know, if you ask me why I paid this shortfall, how do you ask me to speak?"

Yinfeng knew very well in his heart that no matter whether he repays the shortfall or not, this involvement cannot be avoided.If it is repaid, Yinhu has always been an ambitious person, and he will never hide it for him after he finds out, and it will be even more difficult to explain this account to Kangxi in the future.

Hearing Yinreng mention the eighth elder brother, Gu's face became a little unnatural. Just now when Yinreng refused her, she felt extremely desperate. Thinking of Ling Pu's future situation, she couldn't help shivering. Look in Yinfeng's eyes.

Yinreng had doubts in his heart, but after seeing it, the doubts in his heart became deeper.

No longer talking to Mrs. Gu, Yinfeng said directly: "Go and find Ling Pu, I have something to ask him."

When Ling Pu saw Yinreng, he was already so ashamed that he didn't dare to say a word of guilt and remorse, but just kowtowed fiercely to Yinreng to plead guilty.

Yinreng looked at Ling Pu, and asked coldly: "Did Brother Eight already look for you?"

Ling Pu didn't dare to answer, but when he heard this, his body trembled.

Seeing Gu's and Ling Pu's reactions in the same way, Yinfeng knew in his heart: "If you don't answer, then I will take it as your acquiescence. No wonder you didn't want to make up for the shortfall when you were in office. Now eight Elder brother took over as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but you came to beg me in such a hurry. Thinking about it, you are not afraid that eighth elder brother will find out, but that eighth elder brother has already found out, right?"

"The crown prince is clear."

What happened to Ling Pu was revealed by Yin Reng, and Ling Pu, who was extremely nervous, heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that if the crown prince knew what Gu said, those words would not be hidden from the crown prince. The real situation It will definitely be guessed by the prince.

"Since the crown prince has asked this question, this servant dare not hide it from the crown prince anymore. This servant will tell the prince the truth!"

Ling Pu told Yinfeng all the things before and after, and then said, "Babeile threatened the slave to frame the prince, but the slave refused, so he could only ask the princess for help, and the slave refused to lose himself. I don’t want to frame the Crown Prince, and I really don’t know what to do in this dilemma! Now, the slave has revealed everything and asks the Crown Prince to be the master. Whatever the Crown Prince wants me to do, the slave will do!”

"Stupid! Do you think Eighth Brother is threatening you just in front of you? You don't think about it carefully, they set up a trick for you to take advantage of!"

Yinfeng really didn't expect that this eagle player would be pecked by the eagle!From Yinfeng's point of view, what Ling Pu said was a well-established situation.Ling Pu has been the head of the House of Internal Affairs for these years, and he has always asked the supervisor. Ling Pu is still deeply involved in gambling, and he still owes tens of thousands of taels of silver. I don't know anything about it!This must be covered up by someone behind the scenes, and neither he nor Yinzhen knew about it.

Yinfeng thought to himself, from this point of view, I am afraid that the people who manage this matter may not only be members of the eighth elder brother's party, but anyone who is against the prince's party, etc., may be.This should be an operation secretly joined by the anti-princelings.

Ling Pu's death is not a pity, but for the shortfall of the internal treasury, Ling Pu's one-sided words alone cannot clear up his own suspicion.Even if Ling Pu said it was his own fault, no one would believe it, let alone Kangxi who was already suspicious of him.

If we go to investigate again at this moment, I'm afraid they won't find anything. Since those people can do it, they will naturally wipe out all traces.Yinfeng understood very well that they pushed themselves up to the edge of the cliff, blocking their way of life. In any case, the suspicion of misappropriating money from the internal treasury was settled.

Seeing that Yinreng was in deep thought, Shi Shi asked people to take Gu and Ling Pu out, so as not to disturb Yinreng's deep thinking here.

After both Gu and Ling Pu went out, Shi asked Yinreng: "Yinreng, what are you going to do?"

She just heard Yinreng say that he would not make up for Ling Pu's shortfall of money, and she looked at Yinreng's expression again, and guessed, "Yinreng, you have to tell Ling Pu about this." Emma?"

Yinfeng was silent for a moment, then looked at Shi Shi and said, "Yuheng, I have no other choice. I can only let Huang Ama know about this matter. I have to take Ling Pu to see Huang Ama, and ask him to report to Huang Ama. Huang Ama pleaded guilty to Chen's crime of gambling and misappropriating the internal treasury; I also pleaded to Huang Ama for Chen's lax supervision. As for Yinhu's threat to Ling Pu, there is no need to say, even if you say No, Huang Ama won't believe it without evidence in hand. As for how to deal with Ling Pu, Huang Ama has the full power to decide!"

"But, isn't this the situation that Eighth Prince would like to see?"

Hearing Yinfeng's words, Shi was worried, "If Huang Ama doesn't believe what Ling Pu said, but thinks that you are deliberately concealing it and put all the matter on Ling Pu, then what should I do?"

"Brother Eight set up a trap, and I will face it head-on, so why be afraid of him?"

Yinfeng looked at Shi Shi and said with a smile, "Although the incident happened in a hurry this time, I may not be unable to find a way out. Don't worry, if it comes to the time when Huang Ama doesn't trust me, I will have my own way to deal with it." Besides, the key to this matter is whether Huang Ama's trust in me will really change because of Ling Pu's incident. Now, Huang Ama's attitude is hard to predict, so the outcome of the matter is naturally hard to say .”

The ambitious brother has come to the door, but Yinreng is still looking at her and smiling. Shi Shi sees from Yinreng's smile that he is sure, so she believes what he says, he has his own way In response, that restless heart gradually settled down.

She has been with him through all these years of wind, frost, rain and snow, and watched him rush through, so this time, it will definitely be like this.

Yinfeng led Ling Pu to meet Kangxi.Kangxi had never heard of such a large deficit in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and when he heard it for the first time, he was furious.

He brought Yinhu to him and asked him if he had found a deficit in the account check. Seeing that Yinrong and Ling Pu were in front of him, Yinhu would not answer the truth.

After Kangxi heard this, he ordered Yinhu to speed up the investigation and send more people to trace the 30 taels of silver that Ling Pu was short of.After Yinhu took the order and left, Kangxi ordered Ling Pu to be taken into custody, and then sent for strict interrogation.

After everyone had gone, Kangxi looked at Yinreng, his eyes fell on him for a while, then waved his hands and said: "Yinreng, you go, I will call you again when the case is clarified."

Yinreng answered yes, turned around and walked out, but he was thinking about the fatigue that Kangxi's face could not conceal just now.Kangxi is over 50 years old this year, his teeth have shaken and his hair has turned white. He is no longer the man in his prime, but now he is exhausted and looks more and more like an old man.

Last year when La Aunt Su Ma went there, Kangxi cried bitterly. This year, Empress Dowager Renxian was seriously ill, and Kangxi devoted himself to serving the Empress Dowager. After this series of torture, coupled with the relapse of Kangxi’s old illness when he served Xiaozhuang, Today's Kangxi is getting worse and worse, and he suffers from illness every few days.

Yinfeng felt sorry for him in his heart, but he knew that with his current sensitive status, he might not be able to say any comforting words at all, and he couldn't say them at all.
