Ashan, the servant of the household department, dragged his tired legs back to the mansion, and before Fujin could say a few words, he waved his hand to make him retreat, reluctantly rinsed his saliva while being served by the maid, and then plunged into the bedding.

"Why is the master so tired?" A pair of slender hands rested on the back of the servant Ashan, and the delicate voice made the household servant Ashan smile.

He doesn't look like he disliked Fujin just now.

One turned over and embraced the delicate concubine in his arms.This concubine was young and beautiful, with a towering bun, swaying pearls and emeralds, a pair of affectionate pupils on her shiny and snow-white face, coupled with her charming and lazy posture, she was indescribably charming and beautiful.

The servant Ashan said softly: "Si'er doesn't know, since the news came that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, this Si elder brother rushed back like crazy. Poor master, my old bones, I almost lost my soul." out."

What upset him even more.

Due to the haste of leaving, the things he originally planned to arrange were not properly done - of course, these words cannot be said to Sier, the concubine.The servant Ah Shan couldn't help complaining: "My master, why haven't I heard that the relationship between the fourth elder brother and the empress dowager is so good before? It actually made the fourth elder brother seem to be dead...cough cough!"

The servant Ashan's expression suddenly became strange.

Si'er, the concubine, tapped the hammer twice, and asked curiously: "Master, what's wrong with Si elder brother?"

"My master thinks about it, isn't the fourth elder brother just dead mother..." The servant Ah Shan lowered his voice: "The fourth elder brother is not the son of Concubine Tonghuang! His biological mother is De...Wu Ya is always there! "

"Ugh……?"

"I heard that the Tong Jia family is not satisfied with this cheap prince, but how could the emperor be happy? Tong Jia's family lost their temper and were sent to build toilets, hehe, I'm dying of laughter!"

Si'er, the concubine, was somewhat impressed by this matter.

Once when Fujin was in a good mood, he mentioned the joke about Tong Jia's family, and when he thought of this, his concubine Si'er also mentioned a few words.

"A woman's opinion." The servant Ah Shan sneered.

He stroked the slippery little hand of his concubine Si'er, and laughed: "The emperor is very kind to Tong Jia! If he changed to another family, he might be demoted and dismissed from his post. As for the repair of the latrine, although it is not elegant , but it is expected to be reused after a few years after doing well.”

Si'er, the concubine, opened her mouth slightly.

Seeing her startled look, the servant Ah Shan pushed her: "Just remember that Mrs. Tong Jia is not someone who can be offended easily. Step back, master, I'm exhausted, and I'll look for you in the yard in two days." .”

Si'er, the concubine, responded with a smile.

She twirled the corner of the quilt for the servant Ah Shan, and tiptoed out of the study.When Si'er of the concubine's room closed the door, the smile on her face faded away, and she led the two servant girls out along the wall with their heads down.

Even though concubine Si'er was so careful, she didn't escape other people's eyes.

Not long after she walked out of the study, she was stopped by a maid with a cold face: "Miss Li, Fujin ordered you to go to the main courtyard."

There was a giggle of maidservants around.

Li Si'er agreed with a blank expression, but his hands in his sleeves couldn't help tightening.

The Fujin Hesheli family of servant Ah Shan is arrogant and self-confident.

She gave birth to a son and a daughter early, and she was considerate and steady in doing things. She took care of everything in the in-laws' house very well, and now she has everything in the house in her hands.The only dissatisfaction is that her appearance can only be regarded as handsome, and her dress is dignified, a little old-fashioned, she has never been liked by the servant Ah Shan, and the relationship between husband and wife is very cold.

Fujin's anger hit a group of Tongfang concubines.

Those who are favored cannot be sold. After being favored, they will be given two or three bowls of medicine to kill the idea of ​​having a child.

The cruel methods made all the maids in the mansion lose the courage to take the lead. Li Si'er, who was carried into the mansion, was very proud at first, but now he only wants to find a way out!

Sure enough, it is the same today.

After Fujin Hesheli found a wrong place, he asked two nuns to teach Li Si'er a lesson, so as not to lose the family's face by going out - God knows how a housekeeper can let others see.

Li Si'er secretly hated him.

She was squatting halfway, holding the water basin above her head steadily with both hands - the water in the basin was full, and just a little shaking would water the whole body.

Four or five maidservants stood in the distance chatting.

Their eyes poked straight at Li Si'er, and the schadenfreude between their brows and eyes couldn't be concealed—Li Si'er bit his lip, held his breath, and braced his body, lest he would be punished one or two times for shaking an hour.

Her body wobbled.

Suddenly the peaceful and quiet courtyard was broken by a burst of noise, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps and shouting, hurriedly approaching from far away.

Li Si'er looked up subconsciously.

At this moment, the gate of the main courtyard was knocked open with a bang, and several servants and maidservants staggered and fell to the ground, rolling and crying endlessly.

No one paid attention to these servant girls.

Everyone in the main courtyard was like a quail holding its throat, staring at the countless officers and soldiers who poured in.

There was an ominous premonition in everyone's mind.

Fujin Hershey came out surrounded by the nuns: "What are you arguing about?"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Seeing the countless officers and soldiers in front of her, her dignified and solemn expression broke instantly. Fujin Hesheli trembled all over, and subconsciously grabbed the hand of the nanny and shouted angrily: "You guys! Do you know whose mansion this is?"

The officers and soldiers instantly divided into two rows like Moses divided the sea, and then the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Tuna and Weng Shuyuan, who held the imperial decree, came up one after the other.Shangshu Tuna spread out the imperial decree: "Follow the heavens——"

Fujin Hesheli interrupted Shangshu Tuna's words.

She wailed: "My lord! This concubine is going to call the master..."

Before she finished speaking, Shangshu Weng Shuyuan shouted in a deep voice: "Presumptuous! How can Lord Tuna interrupt at will while he is reading the imperial decree? Come here—get back this unruly woman who dares to offend!"

Fujin Hesheli was dumbfounded.

What made her even more frightened and terrified was that the two yamen servants came forward aggressively, without taking themselves seriously at all, and Fujin Hesheli screamed in shock: "I am also the second-rank husband-woooooooo!"

In Li Si'er's eyes, the noble lady who was originally high above was dragged down like a dead dog, and then the officers and soldiers poured into the house, and the cries and shouts of each room were continuous.

Perhaps it was because Li Si'er's punishment was too pitiful. When she was counted, she was included in a bunch of servants, and she was dragged out with handcuffs and shackles.

Before leaving the mansion.

Li Si'er subconsciously looked back at the mansion, she never thought that this was the reason why she escaped from the Shu Mulu mansion.

The servant Ah Shan turned over.

The chill coming up from his back made him frown unconsciously, feeling that his shoulders, back, waist and legs were all sore.The servant Ah Shan tossed and turned uncomfortably, only to find that the soft bedding under his body had turned into a hard one at some point...?He stretched out his hand and subconsciously groped twice, the rough... hay! ?

The servant Ah Shan suddenly felt a thump in his heart.

He raised his body abruptly and looked down with a little bewilderment and bewilderment.Immediately after, the servant, Ah Shan, was dripping with cold sweat. Where is this his mansion? His warm and comfortable bed was clearly a pile of straw mats, and even a few cockroaches were crawling unscrupulously on it.

"...Here! Where is this place?" The servant Ashan waved his hands and got up, but was pulled by the heavy drag under his feet and fell a big somersault.He barely calmed down, looked around, and then fell into the ice cellar.

A huge iron chain was wrapped around the feet of the servant, Ah Shan, and the other end was ruthlessly pierced into the ground.Except for the gray-brown walls, there are iron bars as thick as two fingers—he is locked in a prison!

This, what's the situation?

The servant, Ashan, looked terrified. He grasped the iron railing with both hands, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come, come!"

After shouting several times in a row, no one appeared.

If he hadn't pinched himself hard, Ashan, the servant who was so painful that his eyes turned black, would have thought it was just a nightmare.

He trembled and cried out loudly.

I don't know how long after shouting, footsteps sounded in the passageway in the distance. While the servant Ah Shan was overjoyed, his mood became more and more nervous as the footsteps gradually approached.

The footsteps were getting closer.

The servant Ah Shan held the railing tightly with both hands, and shouted expectantly: "Where is this place? Why are you arresting me!?"

No one answered his question.

The servant Ashan was stunned, and before he could speak again, the sap hit him in the face through the railing, knocking all the front teeth of the servant Ashan to the ground.

He was completely dazed.

Immediately afterwards, the servant, Ah Shan, covered his mouth and screamed hoarsely. The yamen servant who came came turned his back and walked back, swearing: "Damn you, what are you shouting! I told you that this is a prison, so don't even think about it when you come in." out!"

The servant Ah Shan's voice disappeared instantly.

He shivered all over, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.The servant Ah Shan's legs went limp, and he collapsed on the ground suddenly: "It's over...it's over!"

The Hubu case ended unexpectedly quickly.

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen took advantage of the empress dowager's serious illness to leave early, disrupting the actions of the people staying in Shaanxi. In the chaos, the guards also found the real account books, thus breaking the psychological defense of the local officials.

Seeing the physical evidence and witnesses are all available.

Ashan, the servant of the household department who had expected it for a long time, completely lost the will to resist, and confessed the facts in despair.

Over the years, he has colluded with local officials, falsified the number of people affected by the disaster, falsified the number of fire consumption, embezzled the livelihood expenses such as dredging the river and repairing the wall, and even sold minerals to foreigners at a low price in private... When the news came out, there was an uproar.

Compared with the members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were arrested for corruption before, or the governor of Zhejiang Province, Jin Hong, and even the previous minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Xu Qianxue, it is also not as wide as the number of people involved in the case of returning to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the amount of corruption. .

Kangxi was extremely angry.

He ordered a strict investigation to the end, within a month they were dismissed from their positions, and no less than [-] people were sent into exile. The servant of the household department, Ah Shan, was directly sentenced to prison by hanging, and his family and servants were dragged to the streets to sell.

Tong Guowei, who was sent to various places to investigate, was shocked.

Naturally, he also received a lot of benefits from it, and escaped by luck because he was away.Ye Keshu, Tong Guowei's eldest son, was thoughtful: "Ama, could it be that the emperor wanted to take action against the servant of the household department, Ashan, and then deliberately used this to drive us out of the capital?"

Thinking of the emperor's generosity and kindness to Tong Jia's over the years.

Tong Guowei also became thoughtful, and after contemplating for a long time, he showed a tinge of joy: "I'm afraid it's really what Ye Keshu thinks!"

The decadence of the past suddenly disappeared.

Tong Guowei straightened his back, full of pride in his heart: "Sure enough! The emperor still misses us!"

Ye Keshu answered with a smile.

His younger brother De Kexin replied in a rough voice: "We can't disappoint the emperor's thoughts - the work of the Municipal Cleaning Department must be done seriously, so that we can hand over a memorial to the emperor and let us return to Beijing early. It is."

Tong Guowei stroked his long beard: "That's right!"

For a while, Tong Jia's people accelerated their progress, and within half a month they completed the tasks that could only be completed in the past one or two months.

When the news came back to the capital, Kangxi couldn't help being surprised.

He didn't know Tong Jia clan's brainstorming at all, he thought they had finally learned some lessons.Satisfied, Kangxi found Chengqian Palace, happily told Concubine Tong about the matter, and finally made an attributive sentence: "It's a good thing to let them go out and do practical things. It seems that they are more plausible than before."

Concubine Tong's health improved.

Now that he heard such good news again, he was overjoyed.She stood up and bowed, "My concubine thanks the emperor for his kindness."

Kangxi laughed.

Concubine Tong remembered another thing: "Speaking of which, the emperor, Long Kedo was sent out just after he got married... If it is possible, why not give him a few days off."
