There is a big problem with my harem [Qing Chuan]

Wei House.

A small party is being held in the main courtyard.

Sitting directly above the seat is today's master Wei Yijie, Mr. Wei, and the chief below him is Mr. Li Li, who is also the Minister of Jiahu Department, a scholar of the Baohe Palace. It was Lin Ruhai who had just returned to Beijing from Yangzhou to report on his work. He was slightly drunk and was pouring bitter water with another colleague beside him.

"Why is Ruhai so haggard?"

Wei Shangshu is nearly seventy years old, his eyebrows are white, but his eyes are still piercing, and his gaze falls directly on Lin Ruhai.

To those present, Lin Ruhai is more like a nephew than a subordinate. Hearing Wei Shangshu's question, Li Shangshu immediately turned his head to look at Lin Ruhai with a sullen expression.

Lin Ruhai was in a bad mood and drank glass after glass of wine. He didn't look like he usually tasted it, but he looked like an alcoholic!This stunned the colleague sitting next to him.

No wonder Wei Shangshu was so surprised.

"It's not something that was done by the Rongguo Mansion! He took Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin back, but in the end they didn't even prepare a house, and only let Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin live in the boudoir where Mrs. Lin lived before she got married!"

Li Shangshu is the chief examiner of Lin Ruhai's subject, and he has a classmate friendship with Ruhai's father, so he treats Lin Ruhai like a teacher and a father.At this moment, I couldn't help feeling more distressed, hating the so-called Rongguo Mansion.

Wei Yijie was taken aback: "Well, there is such a thing? This Rong Guogong is a smart man, how could he be so confused?"

"Your Majesty Wei doesn't know that Duke Rong is now in bed with a relapse of his old injury and a serious illness, and his wife is taking care of the family affairs."

Lin Ruhai's eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse: "It's embarrassing for you adults to worry about the lower officials."

"...This is just one, and the second is that Ru Hai is too brainy."

Li Shilang, who was sitting on the side, stepped in at this moment, "I think the Rongguo Mansion is tormenting you not because Rongguo Gong is seriously ill and can't take care of you, but because he wants to trample on your face!

Like the sea!You have to remember that this Rongguo Mansion is not just your natal family like Ruhai—it is also the relatives of Prince Teng Wang!

Even we have heard about what you did in Yangzhou, let alone the lineage of Rongguo Mansion! "

While speaking, Li Shilang was still shaking his head.

In the past few days, he has been wholeheartedly persuading Lin Ruhai to find a way to stay in Beijing after reporting his work, but Lin Ruhai insists on returning to the salt administration to make a career.

The depth of Yanzheng's water is not something that Lin Ruhai can shake at will!

"Salt government?"

Wei Shangshu and Li Shangshu looked at each other, their hands stopped at the same time, their expressions were very serious.

"Ruhai, at your current age, you haven't reached the stage where you can get involved in the salt administration!"

"Master Wei! As the censor of salt inspection in Yangzhou, how can I not attack those who sell private salt!"

Lin Ruhai was extremely aggrieved as if stimulated: "You haven't seen that those traders and officials in Yangzhou are going crazy for private salt! What's more sad is——"

Lin Ruhai suddenly closed his mouth and sighed heavily.

"Ruhai!" Wei Yijie stroked his long beard with a serious expression, "I am also a salt inspector, how can I not know how serious the dirty things are in the local area, but you must know that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and there will be no people." Observation is useless.

If you drive people to a desperate situation, you don't know how vicious those people's methods will be! "

Lin Ruhai clenched his fists, and when he was about to refute, someone came in outside to report that the imperial decree is coming!

Wei Shangshu hurriedly led the people to receive the imperial edict, but the content of the imperial edict made him feel as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and the previous alcoholism was wiped out!

"The minister accepts the order!"

After finishing speaking, he took the imperial decree with both hands submissively, then took out a pouch from the secret pocket in his cuff, and stuffed it to the eunuch Xuanzhi.

"Eunuch Wu, what happened...?"

Eunuch Wu squeezed his thin purse, and immediately smiled with satisfaction: "Your Majesty Wei doesn't know something. The emperor was visiting the capital in private today, but unexpectedly ran into an arrogant thief who robbed Rongguo Mansion's watch in broad daylight." Miss, a group of kidnappers were seized by following the vine, and Shuntian Fu Yin did nothing among them...he will be furious if he doesn't go back to the palace!"

"Rongguo Mansion...? Miss Biao!?"

Wei Shangshu was surprised when he heard this.

"That's right—poor Miss Qianjin has suffered like this!"

Before Wei Shangshu could ask again, Lin Ruhai who was kneeling behind was shocked.

He felt chills all over his body and shivered intermittently, he pushed everyone away in panic and walked to the front, and eagerly pulled Eunuch Wu and asked in a trembling voice: "Yes, which Miss Cousin is it?"

The fear in his eyes made Eunuch Wu stunned.

"This is the son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, the Yangzhou patrol salt censor who has returned to Beijing to report on his duties." Wei Yijie quickly introduced Lin Ruhai to Eunuch Wu.

Eunuch Wu took a deep breath: "Lin, Mr. Lin? Why didn't anyone notify you? I'm afraid it was your daughter who was lost..."

Lin Ruhai's face was pale, and panic and fear appeared in his eyes.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai's three souls and six souls were probably half gone, Eunuch Wu hurriedly added, "But Mr. Lin, don't worry, Miss Gui is not injured! She has already been sent back to the Rongguo Mansion!"

"Dai, Daiyu!"

Lin Ruhai's eyes turned black, and he had no other thoughts in his mind - he just wanted to go back to Rongguo Mansion as quickly as possible!But he only ran a few steps forward, and his body suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood and fell directly to the ground!

"Like the sea!?"

"Master Lin!"

……

After Eunuch Wu returned to the palace, he reported to Kangxi carefully that Lin Ruhai was so frightened that he vomited blood and fainted.

"This Rongguo Mansion! You didn't even tell Lin Ruhai about Miss Miss's loss!" Kangxi was almost laughed at when he heard this—it was only a few days after Rong Guogong fell ill, and this Rongguo Mansion is in such a mess!

I'm afraid that the Rongguo Mansion can't see Lin Ruhai who is only a seventh-rank sesame official at all, so they can be so slack towards him.

Eunuch Wu was also shocked by Lin Ruhai's appearance!He knelt down and described Lin Ruhai's appearance vividly: "Your Majesty, you don't know—that Mr. Lin immediately passed out after spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face was as white as paper! The doctor in Mr. Wei's house still Say Master Lin is poisonous!"

"Poisoned!?"

Kangxi was startled—an official ordered by the imperial court would be poisoned! ?

The anger in his heart also kept accumulating, and he asked Eunuch Wu to invite the imperial physician to go to the Wei Mansion overnight: "After reading it, report it to me quickly."

"twitter."

Kangxi sat on the dragon chair and pondered, his eyes flickering deeply.

Poisoning?

Could it be that Lin Ruhai's early death in Dream of the Red Chamber was related to poisoning?

Thinking about the cute and cute appearance of the young Lin Daiyu, Kangxi couldn't help thinking of removing Lin Ruhai from the history of patrolling the imperial court.

However, this needs to be considered in the long term.

Just as he was thinking about it, Kai Yang finally appeared in front of Kangxi with a tired face, holding a memorial in both hands, raising it to his forehead, bowing his head solemnly.

Unlike usual thin memorials, this thickness made Kangxi unavoidably startled.

"master!"

"Go ahead."

"Master! It has been found out that there are a total of [-] children in the room. Among them, the men and women who have been locked up in the room claim to be transported from Jiangnan. Before that, they didn't know where they were locked up in Jiangnan. But there, like here, many children were imprisoned."

Kai Yang sneaked a glance at Kangxi's expression and continued, "In addition to these, the older children outside have also spoken now. Most of them are slaves registered in the government, and many of them were sold by their parents. For traffickers!"

Kai Yang paused for a moment and said with embarrassment and difficulty on his face: "Many claim to be concubine sons, and once said that the father said that the purpose of giving birth to them was to sell them for money..."

Only a loud bang was heard!

The furious Kangxi kicked the dragon chair with such great strength that he kicked the dragon chair away. Liang Jiugong, who was standing beside him with his head down, couldn't help but panicked and shouted: "Your Majesty!"

Kangxi turned a deaf ear to it, ignoring the sharp pain from his feet and still staring at Kaiyang: "Continue talking!"

"The servant has verified that among the 31 children, [-] were trafficked, and eleven of them are from the vicinity of the capital and have been ordered to be sent home.

Among the remaining [-], only three still remember where their hometown is, and most of the rest have been kidnapped and raised for many years, and they have long forgotten. "

"Where's the Zhen residence?"

"The steward of Zhen's mansion has been tortured, and he has now confessed. Although Zhen's mansion is not involved in human trafficking, it often asks them to provide them with some boys and girls of suitable age-only this year, this steward is here About 20 girls were picked to go.

We checked the names of the people he knew, and many of them have been sent to the backyard of the ministers!Some of them have become dowry maids of the Miss Zhen's family..."

"There are more than 20 people... The Zhen family really has a heart."

Kangxi's voice was suddenly cold, and Liang Jiugong almost couldn't help shivering when he heard it.

"Pass down the order, send the Zhen Manor to... the list of ministers accepted and hand it over to me carefully! Keep people watching them, and report to me immediately if there is any change!"

"twitter!"

"The chief steward of Zhen's mansion and those kidnappers who were captured alive... put them in prison and let people watch to see if anyone comes—"

"The slave has already arranged manpower, master rest assured!"
