Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

Cao Yin's cleverness in making false accounts is that all accounts are half true and half false.

It is true that all expenditure items and income are false, and the gold and silver of expenditure income are halved or reduced by nine-tenths.

The fifth child watched people move the ledger to his desk, drank a sip of tea, and couldn't help complaining to his younger brother: "Tell me that you don't need to check the accounts of the weaving government office, Huang Ama values ​​Cao Yin so much, Cao How can Yin be willing to make mistakes in the accounts."

Lao Jiu was obviously not paying attention. After Lao Wu finished speaking, the eunuch behind him poked him, and he just let out a oh.

"Is the fifth brother talking about weaving the accounts of the government office? My younger brother thinks that there is something wrong with their accounts. Otherwise, with Cao Yin's salary for so many years, will his daughter be able to afford the ten miles of red makeup when she gets married?"

When Cao Yin’s daughter married Ping Wang Naersu, she could be called a red makeup of ten miles. The dowry brought by Fujin into the palace pulled cart after cart. At that time, many people envied Naersu, although the daughter-in-law’s status was low. , but the father-in-law is strong and has a lot of dowry. The most important thing is that Fujin is beautiful and well-educated.

After listening to Lao Jiu's words, Lao Wu also felt that Cao Yin had attacked Yinzi in Jiangnan, "If you talk about these officials, they will definitely be greedy when they come out, but the question is whether they are more greedy or less?"

Especially those who are officials outside, the filial piety received is amazing.Those ordinary people who do business honestly, their half-life savings are not comparable to the filial piety these officials receive on their birthdays.

"The Cao family and his son have been operating in Jiangnan for so long, and they will definitely receive some foreign money. This does not mean that Cao Yin was greedy for money on errands."

The fifth child stood up and took an account book and flipped through it, "Look at how beautiful this account book is, it's neat and tidy, look at the handwriting, it can be seen that many people have handled it, and the color of the ink varies from dark to light. , the paper has turned yellow, which means that this ledger has been there for a long time, and it has been kept in the weaving government office. It can be kept in such a safe place, which can prove that people use these ledgers for our inspection. If we really want to check, like Such old accounts may not be able to find anything."

What Lao Wu meant was that these books should not be checked, it is better to go to other yamen to have a look.It's best for the old man's people not to move, even if Cao Yin is involved in corruption and bribery, it's up to the old man to deal with it. The fifth brother feels that the most important thing for his brothers to come here is to check their manpower.

He looked at Lao Jiu who was sitting next to him, waved his hand to let the eunuchs go down, and dragged the chair to sit in front of Lao Jiu.

"You have been out of your mind for the past two days. Tell me what happened. Did Lao Ba send you a message?"

Lao Jiuqiang shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing, it's too late for my brother to hide from him, how could he have contact with his people, during this period of time, many people have indeed come to visit my brother under his banner , and sent a lot of good things, my younger brother didn’t see anything or take it. What I can’t figure out now is the tenth brother, I don’t know what he’s doing lately, he’s been talking all day long and no one is around.”

As long as this unlucky brother didn't have contact with Lao Ba's people, it would be fine, Lao Wu heaved a sigh of relief. "Maybe someone couldn't find your way to find the tenth brother."

"That's what I'm afraid of." Lao Jiu immediately stood up after finishing speaking, "Fifth brother, please sit down, my brother is worried, I will ask tenth brother to ask."

The fifth child could only watch helplessly as the brother went out.

The fifth child has always thought that the eighth elder brother is a villain. If the eighth elder brother's matter is not completely resolved, his brother may never find peace.

Thinking of this, he quietly called his eunuch over, whispered a few words in the eunuch's ear, and then told him: "...connect with Fourth Master and Seventh Master as quickly as possible. Seventh Master has responded, hurry up and tell Grandpa."

It was already hot, and Lao Jiu wandered back and forth in Lao Ten's yard.

Elder Brother Shi didn't know where he went recently. Lao Jiu waited for a long time but still didn't get him back. He sent three groups of people to look for him, but he still hasn't received any reply. , while thinking that Elder Brother Ten should not connect with Elder Brother Eight, and at the same time thinking that Elder Brother Ten would meet an assassin on the road, right?

Just when he was flustered in his heart and was about to send someone out to look for it again, Elder Brother Shi came back.

He first stood outside the door for a while, and saw Lao Jiu walking up and down in the yard with his hands behind his back, caught the servants and scolded them, and yelled at the servants to go out and find himself.

Brother Ten kept hesitating at the door, rubbing his hands, not knowing how to face Lao Jiu.

But at this moment, Old Nine found a corner of clothes at the door, walked out and saw that Elder Brother Ten was walking around the door.

"What's the matter with you? My brother has been waiting for you inside. He sent so many people to look for you. Why are you wandering around here if you don't go in when you come back?"

"Ninth brother, I have something to do."

"I have to go back and talk about something, what can I solve by walking around the door?" Lao Jiu pulled him into the door, "It's enough to see you standing in front of me in good condition. The assassination a while ago made my brother I was terrified, I was always afraid that you would meet an assassin when you went out. What have you been doing these two days?"

Brother Ten's eyes flickered, he didn't dare to look at Lao Jiu, and he was covered in cold sweat, with sweat profuse on his forehead.

"You're talking, what's wrong with you?"

"Ninth Brother... You have to believe that my younger brother has always respected Ninth Brother, and never had any other thoughts about Ninth Brother, let alone want to hurt you in the past."

There was something wrong with Elder Brother Ten's words, and Old Nine couldn't help asking him, "Did Brother Mynah send you a letter, telling you to do something I'm sorry for!"

Looking at Lao Jiu's expression, Elder Brother Shi felt that if he continued chatting like this, he would not be able to understand what he was saying. Finally, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, pushed Lao Jiu to sit on the chair, and knelt down with a plop.

The princes are all equal in status, no matter whether they are crowned princes or just a bald elder brother, everyone just bows their hands when they meet.

Brothers seldom kneel down for another, and Lao Jiu stood up immediately after being frightened by this action of Brother Ten.

"Why are you kneeling here?" I thought to myself what did this idiot do?He actually knelt down.

"Ninth brother, I'm sorry for you. I said something, don't be angry."

Seeing Elder Brother Ten like this, Old Nine asked him incredulously, "Did you really do something wrong to me?"

"I didn't do it, it was my mother-in-law... No, it was my mother-in-law who did it. Her old man is gone, so I did all the calculations."

"Why are you still involving your mother? Get up, get up! Let's sit down and talk clearly." Lao Jiu heaved a sigh of relief. It would be easy to talk about the matter of the imperial concubine, after all, the imperial concubine passed away. It has been so many years, if it has something to do with the imperial concubine, it is an old thing, it has nothing to do with the current account audit, and it has nothing to do with the selection of the prince in the court, that is to say, my brother did not join forces with the eighth elder brother to deal with it Own.

Brother Ten stood up, feeling sorry for Lao Jiu in his heart, and immediately knelt down again. "You sit and you sit, let me talk on my knees, let me stand and say I'm uncomfortable."

"Get up, we are all brothers, what do you look like kneeling like this? Even if you are an abolished prince, you couldn't let our brothers kneel like this before. Who do you think your brother is? We two have a deadly friendship, hurry up .”

Elder Brother Ten was even more upset. Although he was pulled up by Lao Jiu, he insisted on not sitting down.

"Ninth brother, please sit down, let me stand up and talk, I feel better like this. This matter has to be talked about many years ago. At that time, our relationship was not as good as it is now. At that time, we were very special. It attracts people's dislike, attracting cats and dogs all over the world."

"Everyone has been mischievous when they were young, and they won't be naughty when they grow up. Why have you talked about it for so long? How many years has it been?"

"Yeah, it's been so many years in the blink of an eye, and I don't know if it's true or not... Of course, I'm not saying this to argue for my mother, but to say that back then... Sigh!"

Elder Brother Shi was a little abnormal, Lao Jiu couldn't help but patted the table with his hand, "Say what you have to say, why don't you leave half of it and half of it hesitating, you are trying to kill me."

"I told you, don't be angry after you say it. Of course, if you are angry, I can't control you. You can beat, scold, kill, or cut as you like. Do you still remember when you were in the imperial garden? Playing is the day Yifei Empress gave birth to the eleventh day, and you were pushed into the water."

After Elder Brother Shi said it, Lao Jiu thought about it for a while before he remembered it, "I didn't remember this incident at first, but I remembered it again after hearing you mention it. It seems to be the incident that happened on the day Eleven was born. The thing, I remember being picked up by Seventh Brother, I seemed to be disrespectful to Seventh Brother at that time... I was still young at that time, and I didn't deliberately remember it, but now I almost forget it. "

Lao Jiu frowned and thought about it for a while, making sure that he had experienced this.

I had already forgotten it, but now when I mention it, it seems as if it happened yesterday, and I remember clearly what happened at that time. After all, it was the first time I experienced danger, so when I think about it, I will subconsciously Feel chills stand on end.

There was a feeling of sharpness on the back, and this feeling made Lao Jiu's brain react very quickly, "Why are you talking about this, what does this have to do with your mother and you?"

"It doesn't matter, it was my mother-in-law who pushed you back then, and my mother-in-law was the one who gave the order." Elder Brother Shi hung his head after finishing speaking, "That's what happened. I just said that I would kill you. I'm going to kill Brother Jiu."

Lao Jiu thought it was ridiculous, why should I kill you?

"No, wait a minute, let my brain turn for a while."Lao Jiu stood up and pointed at Elder Brother Ten, "You mean, you found out about what your mother-in-law did to me in the past two days. Then you didn't dare to see me in the past two days and kept hiding."

Brother Ten nodded quickly, and Lao Jiu felt a little strange, how did this idiot brother know the news?

"According to the logic, your mother is meticulous in doing things like this. The imperial concubine has been dead for so long. You didn't know it at the time, and you didn't know it these years. Why did you suddenly know it these two days?"

Elder Brother Ten told what happened to him in the past few days, and said that he sent someone to investigate the old eunuch.In the end, I found out that the old eunuch might be telling the truth, "...My brother thinks that nine out of ten it is true. After returning to the capital, I need to call those servants out to my starling's house to question them properly."

Lao Jiu stretched out his hand and shook it, "Old Ten, let's stop this matter, don't go any further, when you don't know about it, our brothers live a good life, if you know You told me about this, how will we brothers deal with ourselves in the future?"

Lao Jiu thought very clearly, even if the imperial concubine attacked him at that time, and he had not offended the imperial concubine, it must be that the imperial concubine and his mother-in-law had something dirty.The women in the palace are the same as the women in his own mansion, they are friendly on the surface, but they want to stab each other to death behind their backs.

But the hatred of the previous generation cannot extend to this generation, and the imperial concubine has been dead for so long.Let this incident be a thing of the past, and don't let everyone know that it is rotten in the stomach of some people.

Doing so is a good thing for me, it is a good thing for Er Niang, and it is even better for Elder Brother Shi.

"Brother, don't think so much. Look at me, brother, I'm fine now. I'm alive and kicking, I can eat and drink. What happened back then didn't work out, so let it go, and brother doesn't think it's your mother-in-law. You did it, as a son, how can you doubt that your mother-in-law would do such a thing? Haven't you thought that some people deliberately said that in front of you, thus leading you into a trap, and letting you be at the mercy of others step by step? ?"

Elder Brother Ten thought about it, and he also felt that the mastermind behind the scenes might be the eighth or the fourth.But he couldn't help but say that if this matter was covered up more tightly, the effect would be unbearable for him when it erupted in the future.

Elder Brother Ten was very emotional, "I have a good relationship with Brother Ninth, even better than my own brothers. At first I thought this was a deliberate trap, but what if it is true? If it is true... If it's true, I..."

"Don't talk about it, this matter is fake. It's just a few slaves. The imperial concubine has been dead for so long, and the slaves around her have already had new masters. After so many years, they are under the order of the new master. You are talking nonsense in front of you, do you really want to listen?"

Elder Brother Shi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and felt that this incident was true, because there are details everywhere in life that can prove the authenticity of this incident.But Brother Nine kept reassuring himself, and he didn't want to pursue this matter further.

Elder Brother Ten has remembered such kindness.

However, both of them are rough people, their feelings are not delicate enough, and they have never done anything to comfort others.If you want to say something emotional, you can't say it at this moment.The atmosphere was very embarrassing, and both of them wanted to quickly change the subject and expose this matter.

Elder Brother Shi pretended to be relaxed and said: "At that time, I thought that the fourth or eighth child was in charge of this matter. The fourth child and his mother were in charge of the affairs of the palace back then. Maybe these slaves wanted to be rich and prosperous. Attached to a new master.

I suspect that the reason for the fourth brother is here. The fourth brother's mother-in-law can be regarded as covering the sky in the palace, so it is justifiable for the fourth child to use these slaves.

But later, the more I checked, the more I felt that this matter was a bit strange. The servants had been out of the palace for several years, and most of them were allocated to mynah by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.In other words, their current ostensible master is starling.It’s fine if there are one or two serving at Lao Ba’s house, almost all of them are there…”

Speaking of this, Lao Jiu understood what Brother Ten meant, and Brother Ten suspected Lao Ba more than Lao Si.

"The elder brothers who can participate in the seizure of the crown are not good people. We brothers just need to be careful. Someone has designed a trap for you. As long as you don't jump into it, everything is fine. We can do whatever we want in the future, you My brother, don't have any other thoughts. The fifth brother is busy checking the accounts these two days, let's go over and help, as for you to check the mastermind behind the scenes, just give up."

The meaning of the old nine is that don't look into it later, the imperial concubine will be involved later, and when this matter becomes serious, the imperial concubine will be brought out again. Everyone has been dead for so long. As a son, the old ten We can't let his mother-in-law's reputation become infamous after her death.

Moreover, Lao Ninth, the bitter master, does not advocate pursuing it. For the sake of Er Niang, Brother Ten will naturally not investigate further for the sake of brotherhood.

It's just that the two brothers have some difficulties in their hearts.What happened back then may not be pursued, but what happened back then was not done strictly. If someone found out and used it to frame the relationship between the brothers, it would be too much. If this person is not found out, disgusting people will come out in the future.

"Whether the person behind the scenes is the fourth or the eighth, we can't let it go. By the way, who else knows about this matter except the fourth and the eighth?"

Elder Brother Shi thought about it, and felt that if someone really knew the truth, then this person would most likely be the old man in the palace.

"The old man should be clear about this matter. My younger brother thought about going back to the palace to ask the old man this morning. Maybe the empress also knows. The old man may tell us the truth, but the empress will definitely not."

Lao Jiu shook his head, "Forget it, let it be like this, we are not allowed to talk about this matter in the future."

He promised very well, but Elder Brother Shi still felt uneasy in his heart.That night he quietly wrote a letter, read the letter over and over several times under the lamp, then sealed it, and called one of his little eunuchs over.

"You take this letter back to the capital. My sister came to the palace to congratulate the empress, and she probably hasn't returned to Mongolia yet. You find the princess and ask her to forward this letter to the emperor. Remember to explain to the princess again and again. This letter must be handed over to the emperor in person, and no one else should be allowed to intervene in the middle, and the princess should not be allowed to read the contents."

The eunuch agreed.I didn't dare to stay, let alone make a high profile, so I rode alone to the north early in the morning of the second day.This slave is also very loyal, changing horses on the road without changing people.The section from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital city took him ten days to ride on horseback in the summer.

He came by coincidence, if it was a few days later, Elder Brother Ten's younger sister would go back to Mongolia with the son-in-law.

That night, the servant begged the princess out of breath, and the princess was a little surprised, "What's the matter, Brother Ten? Didn't your servant follow him in the south of the Yangtze River? Why are you rushing back now?"

The eunuch didn't know what was going on, anyway, brother ten made it very clear that this matter was very confidential and could not be known to outsiders, not even the content of the letter could be known to the princess.

After he whispered about it, the princess felt that it should be a big deal, so she put away the letter and planned to go to the garden to meet the emperor in the morning and hand in the letter.

On the second day, he first went to Changchun Garden to visit the Empress Dowager, and then went to Qingxi Bookstore to ask to see the emperor.Kangxi's attitude towards his daughter is not bad, as long as someone asks to see him, he will see him.And because these princesses are all married, they don't usually come to visit Kangxi, and there is definitely something to do every time they come to visit.

Coupled with the fact that his sons have caused more and more troubles in recent years, Kangxi loves his daughters a little more.

After seeing his daughter, he smiled all over his face, and his tone was very kind. "Is there anything going on today?"

"My daughter was going to leave in a few days, and planned to come to the garden to bid farewell to you and the empress dowager in the past two days. But last night, brother ten sent a letter to my daughter and asked her to hand it to you. As a last resort, today I went into the garden for a while. Here is the letter, and brother ten told his daughter to hand it over to you."

After she finished speaking, she held the letter in both hands and handed it to Kangxi. Kangxi took it and looked at the seal first, and found that there was no trace of being torn. There was a bit of anger on his face.

The princess raised her heart at that time, and quickly interceded for Elder Brother Ten, "You also know that Elder Brother Ten has always been a jerk, if he said something that displeased you, you should forgive him..."

Kangxi waved his hand, and put on a kind look on his face, "I'm not angry with him, he said something that reminded me of the old things back then. Good boy, don't worry, it's not you Brother's fault."

Only then did the princess feel relieved, and she talked with the emperor for a while before slowly retreating.

Kangxi re-flattened the ball of paper in his hand and put it in front of him, and read the letter again.

Back then, he tried every means to imprison the imperial concubine, the reason was that he didn't want his sons to turn against each other.Just like what the daughter said, Lao Shi is a fool, even if he doesn't live up to it, he is still his own son.He is also the nephew of Empress Xiaozhao. Kangxi doesn't have much affection for the imperial concubine, but he still has deep affection for Empress Xiaozhao.For Empress Xiaozhao's sake, he took a look at Old Shigao.

Concubine Yi has three sons, all grown up now, if their brothers turn against each other because of this incident, then there will be four sons who will end up fighting.

These sons could be imprisoned and killed by themselves for fighting for the throne.These sons can also fight each other because of fighting for the throne. They can die for the country in the future, or they can die for the government.But they must not bleed to death because someone provoked their internal strife.

In Kangxi's view, it is normal for these sons to attack each other because they are fighting for the throne. How can a strong prince be elected without fighting?

But other internal fighting except for the crown prince is a wasteful consumption, and he does not allow it.

He knocked on the table with his hand, "His heart can be punished, his heart can be punished!"

After destroying the letter, he called the eunuchs who had dealt with the matter over, because some eunuchs who had handled the matter had died of old age and illness.

Li Dequan might know part of it, but Kangxi didn't want to listen to what Li Dequan said.

He ordered the people around him to drive to the Ningchun Hall, and wanted to go to the Ningchun Hall to ask about the court ladies and eunuchs around Tian Mi.

After arriving at the Ningchun Hall, Tian Mi was leading the maids to enjoy the shade in the courtyard.

Kangxi sat next to Tian Mi, first drank a cup of herbal tea, and shook the easy chair a few times.He casually asked, "Have the children's residences been settled? Are the people around them taking advantage of it?"

"Of course it's handy. They're used to it. If they don't have enough manpower, I'll ask them to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick whoever looks good to them. From now on, they will all be the heads of the family. This picks slaves." Controlling minions is also something they should learn."

Kangxi nodded, and praised Tian Mi, "My cousin is still thinking about them. By the way, are all the rosters of palace personnel allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs all these years?"

Tian Mi heard that he wanted to check the roster, so she asked Herring to bring the things over, "Cousin wait a moment, there are too many things, they have to move several times to finish."

Kangxi waved his hand, "You don't need to move here, just leave it to Wei Zhu in a while. I've been busy at Qingxi Bookstore for a long time today, and I'm a little tired now. Let's sit down and talk."

It may be a trivial matter for others that the emperor wants to check the roster, but for brothers like the fourth and the eighth, they have no way of knowing what happened in the garden, and even if they get the news, it will be several days later .

But the fourth child has one more advantage over the eighth child, that is, the fourth child has an eyeliner to stand beside Kangxi openly.

The fourth elder brother's son, Honghui, can run over every day to chat with the old man and the empress, so he can know immediately what is going on in the palace.

When eating that night, the fourth elder brother said to Si Fujin while picking up vegetables: "You said it well, why does the emperor look at the roster?"

Si Fujin didn't think too much about it, she considered that the younger princes were going to be resettled outside now, and for the sake of these younger sons, the old couple had to check the servants in advance.

"I still want to discuss something with you for the sake of a few younger brothers. Although we are paying attention to Gege's husband's family now, girls marry late, and they don't get married until they are sixteen or seventeen. Our family's Hong Hui also has to worry about it now, I went out today and met a few elders who inquired about Honghui's marriage overtly and secretly."

"You're confused, Honghui's marriage is up to the two of us?" Si elder brother was now more and more majestic, glaring at Si Fujin, Si Fujin quickly gave him a flattering smile.

The fourth elder brother wanted her to give up her idea of ​​meddling in Honghui's marriage, "the queen mother will take care of this matter, and even the emperor will ask about it."Speaking of this, he still didn't forget to appease Si Fujin, and softened his words, "You have to trust the eyes of the two of them, after all, you have seen the wives married by these brothers of the master, and they are all virtuous people."

Si Fujin said yes, but he didn't care about it in his heart.The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are virtuous people, and the third sister-in-law can barely be counted.But starting from the fifth sibling, there is no one who is virtuous, and the eighth sibling has a better reputation as a shrew.

Apparently, the fourth elder brother also remembered the reputation of Lao Ba and his wife, and his face became a little ugly, "Lao Ba and his wife are an exception, but then again, Hong Hui is our son after all, and you will also stare at him when the time comes." Let's focus on this matter. If there is an emergency, you call me, and I will discuss it with Huang Erniang."

In case the elderly parents are old and dim-sighted, and really point out a shrew to Honghui, then the family will not have an easy life.

For the brothers' daughters-in-law, the fourth elder brother's attitude has always been to keep a respectful distance.Even indifferent, for example, Lao Qi's wife and Chu Fujin have the same surname, and if Si Fujin mentioned it at home, he would treat the two as one.

Only the fourth elder brother has a deep memory of Lao Ba's daughter-in-law. He even avoided it when he saw it. Ten was frightened by her waving the broom and ran away.The fourth elder brother felt that the whole life of Lao Ba was ruined by his wife.

Thinking of this, he was even a little complacent, "Lao Ba has been a little anxious recently. He has no son now, and he has capable people under him. They have already given him advice. The plan is good, and his wife is a Cheng Yao who came out halfway. Jin, disrupted the good plan of the old eighth."

"What kind of good plan?"

"Of course it's the plan to have a son at the end of the year."

"It's too late, when is this?"

"It's too late, as long as he works hard at the beginning of the year, he will definitely reap the rewards at the end of the year. And it doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman, as long as he has something, it is better than nothing."

Si Fujin nodded at the side, but the fourth elder brother was already happy in his heart, but it was not obvious on his face.

The old man had already committed public anger, the old man complained about him getting too close to the clan kings, and the two guys, the ninth and the tenth, left him again.The younger brothers below never express their opinions, and they regard the old eighth as their enemy.The third child was unwilling to let the eighth child take over, and the seventh child did not want to submit to his younger brother's control...

The old eight looks very beautiful, and at this time, it has become a trend of being overwhelmed by everyone.The question is who will be the first to tear down his wall.

This matter is probably caused by the fifth child. After all, the fifth child is investigating corruption in Jiangnan, and Jiangnan is the base camp of the eighth child.The next few months will be the days when the eighth child will be devastated, and the fourth child will eat half a bowl of rice contentedly, and happily lead the sons to the yard for a walk.

Hong Hui went to school in the palace, while Hong Yun was in poor health and went to school at home.Last day and two days off, the fourth elder brother really gave up hope for this son.But this kid is still very lively, he likes to listen to things outside when he can't go out.The servants in the family like to tell the second elder brother interesting things outside, and they will be rewarded if they do well.

So at night, when the father and son were eating together, Hong Yun asked: "Ama, my son heard that there is a Taoist fortune teller who is accurate. Can you call someone to come home and do the calculation for us brothers."

"The legends outside are not credible, they are all charlatans. If you want people to figure it out, in the future, Ama will find you some eminent monks who have achieved Taoism, or there will be a big trumpet on the Mongolian grassland to see you, you go ask Just ask."

These eminent monks or great lamas are all officially recognized masters, and in the eyes of the fourth elder brother, they are more convincing than the charlatans outside.

Also, don't easily get involved with those wild monks and wild ways outside, the example of the boss is placed in front.The eldest brother has just been locked up for two years, and the brothers behind him will definitely not jump into the pit he fell into.

Hong Yun couldn't help but pouted, he felt that the people Ama mentioned were too boring.I don't know if it's true or not, but when I asked them, these people were not telling the truth.

He never thought in his heart that Ama would really agree to himself.It's just because a topic was raised while talking.

But Hongshi took it seriously, so Hongshi asked, "Second brother, are the people outside very powerful?"

Hongyun looked at Ama and saw that he didn't say anything to stop him, so he told what he had heard. The story was exaggerated when the family servant told Hongyun, and the story was very exciting when he heard it.

Hong Yun added his own understanding and explained it to his younger brother with eight hundred layers of filters.Although the plot is ups and downs, which is amazing, but the more the fourth elder brother listens, the more he feels that this is a charlatan, who can see the fate of people clearly... This is simply nonsense.

That night he also said that this was nonsense, but within a few days the evil wind became stronger and stronger.The fourth elder brother heard about this when he went to the Yamen.

At that time, everyone had just finished their work and sat in the hall drinking tea and resting.Someone said this in front of everyone.

"At the beginning, I also felt that this matter was a rumor, but I didn't expect that what I said was actually true." The official gave everyone an example in a froth.

This Taoist told the fortune of a young man, saying that something important will happen in his home in the next few days.People in their family should not go to the water, only after a month can the bad luck be avoided.

At that time, neither the spectators nor the young man took it seriously, but after half a month, the young man quarreled with his father, and his father jumped into the river in a rage.

During the quarrel, there were many people watching. The old father of this young man was really angry and jumped into the river under the eyes of everyone. At that time, this young man and other young people on the street jumped into the river to catch people.

Because the bottom of the river is full of water plants, the water plants entangled the old man's legs, more than a dozen young people went down, half of them dragged the old man to let him breathe, and the others dived into the bottom to cut those water plants, but the old man struggled too hard , when the water plants were cut, the old man lost his breath.

This is really disappearing under the eyes of everyone. After the young man buried his father, he told everyone that he had not listened to the Taoist priest's words and ended up in such a way. Everyone in the capital knows.

So many people came to look for that Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest would not refuse anyone who came, and he would give orders to everyone who came to the door.

Within a few days, several people were hit by him, and this Taoist priest became very popular in the capital.
