Drunk Qingqiu

Yinzhen didn't speak, Gao Wuyong bowed over and poured him hot tea.Amidst the scent of tea, Yinzhen stared at the two people on the ground with chills in his eyes, "Who brought you here?"

The two vaguely sensed that they didn't seem to please this master, so they couldn't help but looked at each other with worried expressions on their faces.They didn't know the identity of this 'Ninth Master', but Liu Jingen, the prefect of Zhenjiang, had repeatedly instructed him to try his best to please the person in front of him, otherwise the rest of Sixi's team would spend the rest of their lives in prison.

The actor dressed as a niche tried his best to restrain his panic, kowtowed his head and said, "Jiu Ye, Mr. Liu Jingen, the magistrate of Zhenjiang, sent us here. Knowing your... preferences, he specially sent us two brothers here."

"Oh? Your Master Liu really cares about Master Jiu's preferences. At this time, you are still concerned about Master Jiu's preferences. It's no wonder that the state capital he manages is always the last to pay taxes, money and food. However, I am very strange How did he know Jiuye's preferences?" Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, with a suspected sneer on the corner of his mouth.Although the appearance of the two people on the ground is extremely good, he still feels that the two people in front of him are extremely unpleasant.

The person dressed as Huadan was angry because of the condensation in the room, and kept trying to hide behind Xiaosheng.Seeing that Yinzhen's face was not looking good, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: "Master Jiu, these are not things that we slaves can know. Mr. Liu only ordered him to serve you with all his heart. If you don't mind, the two of us I am willing to serve Master Jiu." The voice was clear and mournful, Hua Dan bit her lips tightly, and suddenly knelt up straight, her right hand trembling to undo the buckle on the left side.

The tea bowl in Yinzhen's hand fell to the ground, and the two of them shivered violently.Hua Dan stopped, staring at Yinzhen in a daze.There were tears in his eyes, and the tears on his palm-sized face were like broken beads, dripping big and big on the brand new pink robe.Like a crabapple after the rain, all men will be filled with love and affection.

The person in front of Naihe is not only hard-hearted, but also just turned jealous.

Yinzhen's face darkened, and he was about to explode.A person outside the door hurriedly pushed the door in and said, "Fourth brother, over there—who are these two?" Yinzhen narrowed his eyes when he saw the situation inside the room.There were two people kneeling on the ground. They were either beautiful or handsome in costumes, and one of them was still relieving Luo Chang. What's going on?

Yinzhen raised his eyes and looked at Yinzhen at the door.Xu Shi is busy today, Yinzhen's face is tired, pale and delicate.They are equally handsome, but Yinzhen's demeanor unconsciously reveals an incomparable grace and dignity between the two on earth.

The gloomy look on Yinzhen's face gradually faded, although he still had a cold face, it no longer made people feel breathless.

"Why is your face so bad, but things are not going well?"

Yinzhen nodded, "Well, it's a bit troublesome, and it may take a few days to solve it." He was busy and confused today, and he was in the same room with Yinzhen a few days ago, and he went straight in without even asking after he came here today. In this room.

The two people on the ground have long been used to being sent around like objects, and the embarrassment and helplessness of their identities made them learn to endure.However, the two of them were still stunned when they saw Yinzhen. Since childhood, she had a great appearance, was sought after by others, and became a popular pillar; but behind the scenery, there were countless bitterness.

Therefore, the first thought of these two people was that such a face was either a blessing or a curse in the governor's mansion of Jiangning.

"Lin Yu, take them to the South Wing. They are not allowed to leave or go out these few days." Yin Zhen suddenly ordered.

When there were no outsiders in the room, Yinzhen explained to the puzzled Yinzhen: "Those two actors were given to you by the prefect of Zhenjiang as a filial piety, but the ridiculous thing is that his housekeeper sent them to the wrong place, so Gao Wuyong sent them directly to you." In front of me."

"Send me an actor?" Yinzhen frowned, and said strangely: "This person has a lively mind, but since when did I have a reputation for good operas? Why don't you give me some money..." Thinking that Yinzhen hates corruption the most , Yinzhen hurriedly stopped talking.

Yinzhen turned his head, glanced at him, hesitated to speak.Yinzhen thought about the situation just now, and saw the strange expression on Yinzhen's expression, thinking about Denso, he already understood the meaning of the prefect of Zhenjiang.

He muttered to himself, "This is the first time I have received such a gift."

"Why, I am very interested in seeing what the ninth brother means, do you want to accept it?"

Yinzhen nodded sympathetically, thinking in her heart, even if she didn't mean it that way, she could put the two of them in the house, watching it pleasing to the eye, and listening to a passage every day, Jiahui would not be so bored.

Turning his head, Yinzhen realized that Yinzhen was looking at him with a dark face, "Nonsense! You came here to investigate the case. If you really accepted the gift, how can you go down to investigate? If you don't help them, those people will catch you." Your little braid, let Yu Shi read you a copy, how will you explain to Huang Ama after you return to Beijing?"

Yinzhen looked blankly at Yinzhen who suddenly lost his temper, feeling a little wronged in his heart, after a busy day, he still needs to be punished?Besides, that gift was not sent by him.But if you say a few words unintentionally, how can you take it seriously.

After Yinzhen finished speaking, he also regretted a little. Ever since Kangxi said a few years ago that he was moody, he had hung the word "Forbearance" in Kangxi's own handwriting in his study.He is also more diligent in worshiping Buddha, not only because of piety, but also because worshiping Buddha can hone his mind and make him calm down.

Usually in front of outsiders, few people could see his emotions.For some reason today, I couldn't control it.Is it because caring makes chaos?

He, Yinzhen, is also a mortal after all, with joys, anger, sorrows, greed, anger, ignorance, love, hatred and resentment.

Yinzhen sighed softly, and grabbed Yinzhen who was walking out, "Xiaojiu, fourth brother was impatient for a while, and he said it hard, but he was also worried about you." After saying this, Yinzhen stopped, but still Pulling Yinzhen and not letting go, he said softly after a while: "You can live in this room tonight."

At night, Yinzhen finally understood why Yinzhen got angry.

Although they were just at the young age and they didn't bring any female relatives by their side, both of them belonged to the pure-hearted and ascetic type.So apart from the 'accident' that happened last time, nothing happened.

When Yinzhen turned over and hugged Yinzhen, Yinzhen almost vomited blood when he heard the sentence: "If you really want, fourth brother can help you."

What does he really want?

"Fourth brother, you misunderstood, I don't want it."

Yinzhen had no expression on his face, thought for a while and said, "Why don't you take it next time."

……

When Yinzhen got up cautiously, Yinzhen was still woken up, the long and straight eyelashes trembled, but they were not opened yet, and there were faint bruises and red marks on Yinzhen's pale arm stretching out the brocade quilt.During yesterday's madness, both of them couldn't control their strength.

Looking at this hand, Yinzhen couldn't recall the wonderful pleasure at that time.This noble ninth elder brother actually has such a charming side, even his low and ecstasy moaning with restraint, the sweat on his brows, and the beads of sweat falling on his collarbone make people lose control.

Yinzhen closed her eyes, touched her clothes with one hand, and called out sleepily: "Xiaoyu." He was probably calling He Yuzhu to help.

Yinzhen couldn't help laughing, it might be inconvenient for Yinzhen's personal eunuch to see this appearance, so he reached out and took Yinzhen's clothes and helped him put them on one by one.

When Yinzhen was neatly dressed and sitting by the bed, seeing that he was still dazed and did not open his eyes, Yinzhen hesitated for a moment, knelt down on one knee, and put on Yinzhen's shoes and socks.

The wind blew open one corner of the window, and there was a man standing in front of the south window, watching the scene silently.

This person is Xiaosheng sent by Liu Jingen.

The actor in Huadan's costume was sitting by the vanity mirror drawing his eyebrows, and asked, "Brother Lian Sheng, if someone hadn't broken in yesterday, would the master have asked us to serve him? Wealthy people, presumably they belong to that master. If that master also accepts the two of us, maybe we will live a good life like that man in the future. That is much better than Liu Sheng and the others. They were sent to Lord Governor, I heard that Lord Governor is used to making troubles..."

The person dressed as Xiaosheng turned around and murmured, "No."

Huadan, who was nagging, picked a rose branch and put it on, then turned her head and asked, "Why not?"

"The master won't let the two of us serve him, didn't you see? He doesn't like the two of us. Maybe in his eyes, we are not even worthy to carry the shoes for the man who came in."

……

In the morning, only Yinzhen and Yinxiang had breakfast in the house.Yinzhen only confessed a few words to Yinzhen early in the morning, and someone came to report the matter.After hearing this, Yinzhen hurried out, hearing that Tian Wenjing had made a discovery.

"This Mr. Tian really lives up to his reputation. If he can really help the fourth brother, he is also a useful talent." Yinxiang praised, "I don't know how much better than that Li Wei who is used to being tricky." He said Li Wei No, the tone was doting, and he liked that clever kid very much.

Just as Yinzhen was about to speak, there was a sudden commotion outside the yard. He Yuzhu hurried into the room and replied, "Master, the governor of Jiangsu has brought many officials to see you."

Yinzhen didn't show up yesterday, they should see Yinzhen if they want to.Yinzhen pondered for a while and said, "Alright, I'll go meet these people. Let them go to the hall."

Yinxiang also put down the bowl and chopsticks, and followed Yinzhen out.

When I arrived at the outer hall, there were six or seven officials standing there. The first one was about 30 years old, with a fair face, elegant and elegant, and it was Yan Chengyou, the governor of Jiangsu.Seeing Yinzhen walking in, Yan Chengyou had a strange look in his eyes.

"Xiaguan waited to meet the ninth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother."

"Mianli, I don't know what's the important thing for you to come here today? But have you figured out how to resettle the victims?" Yinzhen asked as he walked into the house.

Hearing this, the six or seven people's expressions were a little unnatural.Yan Chengyou nodded to the person on the right, who took a step forward and said, "Jiu Ye, the next official is Jiang Ning Shou Dao Wang Yu. I will go to meet Si Ye yesterday, so I don't know how many rice houses Jiu Ye sent the green battalion soldiers to surround. OK, and an official document to make it impossible to sell rice."

Jiang Ning Taoist Wang Yu saw that Yinzhen was just sitting in the living room drinking tea, but the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang stared at him with interest, swallowed, and continued to talk about what he had discussed a long time ago: "Jiuye ordered, The officials and others dare not refuse. But because there is no rice to make a living, a group of unscrupulous people gathered outside the city today, leading people to surround more than a dozen rice shops. The arrests in the yamen are far less rapid , Seeing that things are going to become big. The officials and the others are really helpless, so they have to ask Master Jiu to help them come up with an idea."

Yinxiang said with a smile: "Master Wang, you mean that the public rebelled because of the official document issued by Brother Nine? But Mr. Wang, you don't know about it, and you have no soldiers to rescue the siege, so you can only rely on Brother Nine to come up with a solution. This way, you don't care about the problem." Whether it's resolved or not, it's none of your business. If Huang Ama really blames it, it's because of Brother Nine's improper handling."

Wang Yu saw that a young man in Yinxiang had revealed all his thoughts, and he couldn't hold back, so he forced a smile and said, "Master Thirteen is wrong to blame the subordinate, but if there is a way, the subordinate will not come to bother you a lot." Lord. It's really—”

"Wang Yu! I won't say anything if you ask Brother Ninth to handle this matter. But you can think clearly, if my Brother Ninth is in any danger, ten heads are not enough for you!" Yinxiang put down the gun in his hand The tea bowl, with a small face, said quite sternly.

That Jiang Ning Shou Dao showed panic on his face, and looked at Yan Chengyou.

Yinzhen looked at Yinxiang, he was such a smart and quick-witted young man, no wonder he became Yinzhen's right-hand man in the future.The intention of this group of people is nothing more than what Yinxiang said, to push the responsibility and relationship onto themselves.Not only did they not cooperate, but what is even more hateful is that the victims did not riot because they had nowhere to buy rice. These refugees outside the city came together because they had no money to buy rice, and the porridge provided by the government was far from enough, so they rushed to prepare Grab a few rice shops.

However, this is not the time to worry about these things.Yinzhen rubbed his forehead, and said lightly: "Master Shou Dao just can't do it, let my elder brother solve it, I have to go. Yinxiang, you go to the fourth brother, don't leave his side. Gao Wen Gao Wu , You take everyone you can bring, and follow me to the city."

"Ninth brother, no." Yinxiang said anxiously when he heard this,

"Jiu Ye, absolutely not." Although these people came to let Yinzhen think of a way, it was just a cover, and cleverly pushed the cause of the disaster victims' riot to Yinzhen.The disaster victims' riot is not a trivial matter, it must be reported to the imperial court, this matter is in the hands of Lord Jiu, he is the prince's elder brother after all, nothing will happen to him.If these people are burdened, it will be light to lose their black hats.

There are too many victims, and there are not many soldiers in the city, so there is no way to solve this problem. We can only find a way to send a letter to dispatch troops.But to everyone's surprise, this Ninth Master wanted to deal with it alone.This is not a child's play, those people who are anxious and red-eyed are no longer rational, who cares what kind of prince you are, maybe you will arrest Yinzhen and threaten the government.

What Yin Xiang said was right, it's one thing for everyone to shirk responsibility, but if something really happens to Brother Nine, they are still staying in the yamen.Kangxi can kill this group of people without any relevant royal laws and decrees.So after persuading Yinzhen to give up his mind, only Yan Chengyou looked at Yinzhen silently with deep thought in his eyes.

Yinzhen curled her lips and sneered, "You think I'm willing to go? It's dangerous, who doesn't know the danger. But you ignore more dangerous things! Do you know why Huang Ama sent three princes to the south of the Yangtze River? Not to mention the taxation of the world, The south of the Yangtze River accounts for one-third of the population. Most of the people in the south of the Yangtze River are Han people, and there are many literati and talented people. They are used to dancing and writing to stir up people's hearts. Today is a riot by the victims of disasters, but what if the Han rebels tomorrow? There are millions of people in the south, really. If they all gather together and cause turmoil, even if you lose your heads, it won't be enough!"

"Why does Huang Ama reduce and exempt taxes in Jiangnan every year, why Jiangnan often has Enke, have you ever thought about the reason?! Even my elder brother dare not take it lightly, you push it so cleanly." Yinzhen said After finishing the last sentence, he had passed the crowd and walked out.

All the officials inside changed their faces, they had to admit that Yinzhen was right.After the Ninth Elder Brother has passed, no one knows what troubles will arise, if there is any mistake, the relationship is guaranteed.

"Quickly, give the emperor a report and transfer troops." Yan Chengyou ordered.Wang Yu regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't have listened to other people's slander and came to argue with Master Jiu, if anything happened, he, Wang Yu, would be the first to be unlucky.

After leaving the mansion, Yinzhen found a group of people with him, Yinxiang grabbed Yinzhen's sleeve, "Ninth brother, what is your arrangement, I can leave you to go to fourth brother? Don't worry. , We were better than you in those few times, and I will protect you when the time comes. I, Thirteen, have never been a person who is greedy for life and fear of death, and disregards my brothers. Come on, I will accompany you wherever you go." He said and patted Your own chest, get on the horse first.

Yinzhen smiled, and his heart was moved. Although Yinxiang was still a young man, he was very clear about the truth.He is aware of the danger, and he is still willing to follow through. He is worthy of being called a hero by the people of later generations.

As soon as He Yuzhu covered his face, he was still counting on Master Thirteen to persuade Master Jiu not to go to the rice shop, and to find other ways to solve it.As a result, this thirteenth master really can't be counted on.

.. ......

Outside the gates of several rice shops in the city, there were quite a few people inside and out, all dressed in rags, but most of them were young and strong, and they also carried axes, sticks, etc.Gouging the door outside, "Since they won't let us live, we will fight hard, and we won't let them live anymore. Barefoot people are not afraid of people wearing shoes, so what are we afraid of now? Everyone will rush in and grab them in a while, they must be There are rice."

The people on the outer layer who couldn't touch the door also shouted, "That's right, the emperor is here today, and we people are not afraid of him."

"That's right, teach these profiteers a lesson. Where can rice be sold at such a price? Isn't this going to kill everyone!"

in the door.

"Master, this is what to do. Those people smashed the door and came in immediately. It's a trivial matter to lose this rice. If these mobs hurt Tao'er, our Liu family is a single heir for nine generations, so what can we do?" A woman said while wiping tears.

Liu Pingzheng, the chubby rice merchant in the room, was very regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not be greedy for the money, but now he is lucky, the money will be gone soon, and his life will be lost.He was already pacing back and forth in the room irritably, but now he was even more annoyed to hear his daughter-in-law nagging, "It can't be done, I'll let someone open the warehouse and send them all the rice. After asking the housekeeper to protect Tao in secret Let’s run out while we’re in the middle of the mess, we’ll be left to chance.”
