[Qing] Fourth Master, learn about health preservation

The emperor deposed the prince again, and this time none of the court ministers objected.

Moreover, the emperor's decision was not as difficult and hesitant as before, and he felt a little more relaxed.

After he abolished the crown prince for the first time, the court was in a mess, and various forces were emerging, not to mention that the ministers who formed secret parties began to move around, which was not a good thing.

That's why the emperor re-appointed the prince and wanted to calm the situation. Who knew the prince would become the biggest disaster!

No way, the emperor had to abolish the prince again.

Now he felt that without the prince, the court would be much calmer.

In addition, the eighth elder brother took the lead before and was forcibly suppressed by the emperor, and even other ministers did not dare to mention it rashly.

However, there are still people who are not afraid of death, and after half a month, they mentioned to the emperor about re-establishing the prince.

The emperor said that the previous emperor did not establish a prince, and he should not have established a prince.In the past, it was fine if there was no crown prince, but now it is not good if he is established, so I decided not to establish one in the future.

He was firm and said that he would never set up a prince again, and then repeat the same mistakes.

The ministers thought that the eighth elder brother had lost all his errands now, and he was no longer reused by the emperor as before.

The ministers who supported the eighth elder brother were either imprisoned or lost their official duties at home. They dared not say anything anymore, they could only shout that the emperor was wise, and no one dared to mention the matter of establishing a prince.

After all, the censor who dared to mention it again has never been seen in the morning court since then, and the ministers are all concerned, and they dare not ask where this person has gone.

The matter was settled, and Brother Twelve was completely relieved.

Because the emperor cleared out several important ministers at once, he could only let the servants of various ministries take over temporarily, and then select another candidate.

The Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War are still good, and the servants are familiar with them, and they quickly got started.

Only the Minister of the Household Department, the Minister of the Household Department, and the member of the Household Department, Wailang, and even the lower officials were all taken over by one pot, and there were not many people left.

The household department is still the most important place, and officials cannot be promoted casually. After careful consideration, the emperor let the fourth elder brother temporarily take over the household department.

The first thing to take over is to check the accounts.

Prince Yu and the eighth elder brother had already checked it out when collecting the debt owed by the state treasury. The fourth elder brother only collected money from the list and did not check it.

Now after looking at it, he found that the name of the arrears received was correct, but after entering the treasury, the amount did not match.

Come on, the fourth elder brother has to check the accounts again. There is obviously a problem with the accounts of the account department.

What's more, it's not just a few months' accounts, but a few years or even ten years' accounts. He can't do it all by himself, so he mentioned this matter to the emperor: "Erchen Guan Jiudi is quite keen on numbers, The math is excellent. The twelfth and thirteenth brothers are very prudent and cautious, and it is most suitable to help check the accounts."

The emperor was a little surprised and asked the fourth elder brother to check the accounts alone. If he really found out something, it would be a great achievement.

Even if the fourth elder brother checked the accounts by himself on the surface, but turned around and pulled the other elder brothers in without mentioning it to the emperor, the credit is still his alone.

Now the fourth elder brother directly applied to the emperor first, and then recruited people. This approach made the emperor quite satisfied. He waved his hand and agreed directly: "Yes, let's do it like this."

After a decree, the ninth elder brother was so happy when he received it, he wished he could kiss the fourth elder brother.

If it weren't for the fourth elder brother, he might not have received a serious job now!

Brother Twelve was very surprised. He didn't expect that the emperor would allow him to go to the household department to check the accounts. After all, he was involved in the previous case, so he should avoid suspicion.

As soon as the thirteenth elder brother heard that the fourth elder brother needed his own help, Pidianpidian came here. When he met the twelfth elder brother on the road, he could guess a little from his tangled face, and said with a smile: "This shows that the emperor Ama believes in the twelfth brother, we have to help the fourth brother with his errands, and we can't disappoint Huang Ama."

Hearing this, Elder Brother Twelfth nodded his head heavily. The two brothers went to the household department together. Elder Brother Nine had already arrived. When he turned around and saw the two of them, he smiled and said, "You two came so late, you should have come earlier."

The twelfth elder brother was an honest man, so he apologized quickly, and the thirteenth elder brother muttered: "Ninth elder brother, you must have just arrived, and you didn't come in until after a while?"

Brother Jiu rubbed his hands and said with a laugh: "I'm so happy that I got an errand, I was waiting at the gate of the palace early in the morning."

The thirteenth elder brother heard it, and after doing the calculations, he was speechless. The ninth elder brother was probably waiting at the palace gate an hour ago, so what?

The fourth elder brother came down and assigned the errands to several of them: "The ninth brother is the best at calculating, and I will help to settle the accounts later. The twelfth and thirteenth brothers have always been prudent and careful, so they help sort out the accounts every year, Check carefully if there are any correct or missing places, if you are not sure, you can leave it to the ninth brother."

The elder brothers nodded and began to divide and cooperate.

The twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother sorted out the boxes of accounts first, which took a whole morning.

Let Brother Jiu look at the accounts that have just been distributed, because the latter is very excited when he first received the errand, and he was very energetic when he first read it. dazzled.

He managed to stay up until noon, and barely read the two accounts at hand, and his whole body was going to be bad.

And Brother Nine is also hungry, and now they are all out of the palace to build a mansion, does the imperial dining room still remember how many elder brothers work here?

Don't let them work until they leave the palace in the afternoon before eating, they will faint from hunger!

Brother Jiu rested on the table for a while, thinking about filling his stomach with two glasses of water to endure for a while, when he smelled the smell of rice, he sat up straight and said, "Maybe I'm dizzy from hunger, How do you smell the food?"

The fourth elder brother smiled and said, "Amazon Huang told us earlier that the imperial dining room should remember to deliver food to us. It's about the same time. Let's put down what we're doing and go eat."

Brother Nine was so happy, he got up and said: "I thought I would have food only after leaving the palace in the afternoon, and I'm already hungry."

Worried about dirtying the ledger, they moved all the boxes away, and set up a small coffee table in a small space. The four brothers sat down on the spot and ate together next to each other.

The elder brothers have never been so close to eat together, it feels quite fresh.

The first one is a small pot of boiled beef, the soup base is red, it feels spicy when you look at it, not to mention the spiciness hits your face after putting it down.

Brother Nine leaned back to avoid it a little before asking: "Is this specially made by the Imperial Dining Room for Brother Twelve, it smells spicy."

He thought to himself that he was quite well informed about the news about the Imperial Dining Room, knowing that Elder Brother Twelve liked all kinds of spicy dishes, so he quickly served spicy dishes.

Brother Jiu smelled the spicy smell very much, and finally couldn't hold back a piece of beef.

The beef is so tender that it slides down the throat without much chewing.In addition, cabbage, tofu, tofu skin and bean sprouts are added to the pot, and the meat and vegetables are matched.

It's just too spicy. Brother Jiu tasted a piece and it was too spicy. After drinking a glass of water, it was relieved a little.

The twelfth elder brother next to him ate happily, first with a piece of meat, then with vegetables, and then with meat, taking turns eating with great joy.

Fortunately, the imperial dining room also knew that except for the fourth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother who could eat spicy food, the other two elder brothers couldn't eat very much, so they didn't go crazy and only sent spicy dishes.

The second dish is called Zhanyun Chuanchi, which is actually fried tofu on the bottom and grilled chicken on top.

The aroma of grilled chicken permeates the tofu. The skin of the grilled chicken is crispy, but the meat inside is so tender that you can tear it apart with your hands.

Brother Jiu tore a chicken leg and ate happily. Anyway, here are all his brothers, so he is not afraid of being too rough when eating.

And he was really hungry, he ate half a chicken leg in two bites.

The fourth elder brother ate much more slowly, with a slice of boiled beef and a piece of tofu for a while, but the speed was not slow at all, obviously he was also hungry.

Then came a big dish of three sets of ducks, using domestic ducks, wild ducks and pigeons.

After removing the bones and internal organs of these three, the pigeon is stuffed into the stomach of a wild duck, and then the duck is stuffed into the stomach of a domestic duck.

Brother Jiu smiled when he saw it: "Good guy, the chef has really worked hard."

The fourth elder brother nodded in agreement. Three sets of ducks looked easy, but it was not so easy to do.

First of all, the knife must be excellent. Domestic ducks, wild ducks and pigeons must maintain their shape after bone removal, and the skin must be intact, otherwise they will be tattered. No matter how good the taste is, isn’t it disgusting to look at?

What's more, these three items have to be boiled separately and then stuffed into the stomach. The cooked meat is more tender, and the skin is easy to be broken if you don't pay attention when stuffing it, so you have to be careful and fast.

After putting it into the casserole, add ginger, spring onions, and cooking wine, and then simmer it slowly for an hour and a half. The heat must be carefully stabilized, and the duck must be carefully turned back and forth from time to time, so that it cannot be separated from people for a moment.

In the end, you only need to sprinkle a little salt to get out of the pot, and you don't need too many seasonings.

This dish combines the plumpness of domestic ducks, the freshness of wild ducks, and the tenderness of pigeons. The layers of umami taste are superimposed, like a feast on the tip of the tongue.

The fourth elder brother was amazed by the umami taste of this dish, but he frowned slightly and said: "Tomorrow, I will let the imperial dining room not have to cook such complicated dishes, just keep it simple."

Even the emperor hadn't tasted it a few times. After all, it was too troublesome to make this dish. How could their elder brothers, He De, eat it often!

Although the ninth brother liked this dish very much, he agreed with the fourth brother's words, and nodded: "That's right, we are not picky eaters, just keep it simple, and you don't have to tire the imperial chefs."

The complexity of this dish alone is enough for the royal chefs to spend two or three hours preparing it, but it doesn't have to be.

It may not be so easy to see such a rare dish in the future. Brother Jiu ate most of it by himself, and he was almost unable to walk.

The fourth elder brother was so angry that he asked someone to bring hawthorn tea. After drinking two cups, the ninth elder brother felt better and showed an embarrassed expression to the fourth elder brother.

After eating and resting for a while, the elder brothers went back to check the accounts. It was not until Su Peisheng reminded that the palace gate was about to be locked that they packed up and got up to go back.

Ninth brother got up and saw that fourth brother was still sitting in the distance, he couldn't help wondering: "Aren't fourth brothers going together?"

"No, I'll have someone bring the bedding from home, and I'll make do with it tonight."

The fourth elder brother's words made the ninth elder brother stunned: "The fourth elder brother plans to sleep here?"

He thought for a while and felt that with so many accounts, if they come in the morning and leave in the afternoon, there is really not much use for them, so he sat down and said: "Then I will stay too, and let someone send the bedding Come."

The twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother didn't want to go back after hearing this, but the fourth elder brother said helplessly: "I am the one in charge, you don't have to stay overnight for those who help, go back quickly."

Sleeping here, where can I sleep comfortably at home?

However, the other three elder brothers just didn't leave, and the fourth elder brother could only ask for a few more bedding, and they stayed in the palace to check the accounts.

The fourth elder brother also sent someone to tell the emperor that they will check the accounts here recently and will not go back.

The emperor stroked his beard and shook his head lightly, "I'm not surprised that the fourth child wants to stay, and it's really rare for the youngest nine to follow suit."

The twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother saw that the ninth elder brother would not leave, and even if he wanted to, he was too embarrassed to go back by himself.

"Let the Imperial Dining Room deliver snacks and supper so that they don't have to work hungry at night."

As soon as Li Dequan heard this, he hurriedly sent someone to the imperial dining room to order, and the imperial cooks began to worry about what to send after they answered.

Today they put in all their effort to make a dish of three sets of duck. The elder brothers ate well, but they also felt that it was a little too complicated and labor-intensive.

This is a dish that needs to be simplified, and the royal chefs are worried.

What they are best at is simplifying and simplifying, but now they have to do it the other way around, isn't that worrying about people?

But I have to make the dim sum first, the elder brothers don’t like sweet ones very much, so the royal chefs simply make salty dim sum.

Marinate the shrimp meat with green onion, sesame oil and salt, add water and knead the dough, put it in, roll it into a pancake, fry it thoroughly, sprinkle sesame seeds after it comes out of the pan, and smell the aroma from a distance.

Each pancake is small, with a crispy and fragrant surface, and you can eat one in two bites. It is also convenient to eat one with one hand when you are hungry, and there is not much residue.

There is shrimp meat inside, which can fill you up without getting greasy.

Brother Jiu ate three of them in one go, and he still couldn't get enough of it. He felt the aroma of sesame seeds on his lips and tongue: "Fourth brother, this one is good."

The fourth elder brother nodded after eating two: "It's not bad, and it looks simple."

The few people continued to work on their stomachs, and Su Peisheng quietly put away all the things on the table.

It wasn't until late at night that the fourth elder brother called several elder brothers to go inside to rest.

The yard is not that big, there is only one room for resting, and they can still sleep if they squeeze together.

Brother Jiu was very strange after lying down, after all, he had never slept with anyone since he was a child, and now he can still sleep with several brothers, which is extremely rare.

The same is true for the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother. They whispered shoulder to shoulder, and soon fell asleep from exhaustion.

The ninth elder brother turned back and forth excitedly, but the fourth elder brother held his shoulders and said: "Don't wake them up by disturbing, go to bed quickly, you have to get up early to work tomorrow."

Hearing this, Brother Jiu's excitement died down, he hugged the quilt honestly and closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Only the fourth elder brother was a little unaccustomed to it. He opened his eyes and looked outside for a while, and then slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep listening to the long breathing sound around him.

The sleeping postures of my brothers have been corrected by the people around me since childhood. One sleeps more straightly than the other, and they don’t move around randomly. Where they are when they sleep, they are where they are when they wake up. Even their postures haven’t changed much. won't squeeze each other.

The fourth elder brother woke up the earliest, and his energy was not bad. When he sat up, the ninth elder brother next to him was woken up, and he got up in a daze and yawned.

The ninth elder brother got up together, and the twelfth and thirteenth elder brothers on the other side also woke up.

After a few people got up and washed, breakfast was delivered to the imperial dining room, each with a bowl of dumplings.

They are all stuffed with pork, with thin skin and thick stuffing, bulging like an ingot.

Eating a hot meal early in the morning is full of energy.

Several people began to work hard again, and for the next half a month, they ate and slept inside.

Elder Brother Shi was afraid that it would be too hard for a few people to check the accounts while living in the palace, so he brought a box of jerky over here. This stuff will not go bad, and it is very convenient to eat a few pieces when you are hungry.

Brother Jiu ate a piece, and he looked puzzled and said, "This taste is very familiar, why do you have the same taste as Liu Banban?"

Brother Ten was surprised and said: "Brother Ninth, you can actually eat it, it's amazing!"

Brother Jiu was speechless: "No, you came to the palace specially to see us, but you brought the dried meat made by Liu Banban! Tell me, you came to the palace because you ran to find Sisao to eat?"

The tenth elder brother sent the dried meat from the fourth elder brother's house, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha?

Being caught by the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother hurriedly begged for mercy: "I just stopped by to see the fourth sister-in-law, and then brought the delicious food over. If you don't like the ninth elder brother, I will give it to the fourth brother, the twelfth younger brother and the tenth brother." Three younger brothers share one point."

Brother Nine hurriedly said: "Who said I don't want it anymore, bring it quickly."

He gnawed on a piece of jerky and asked vaguely, "Is everything alright at Brother Si's house?"

Elder Brother Ten shook his head and said, "I didn't go in, so I asked the concierge to go in and ask Sisao what she wanted to bring to Brother Fourth, and then brought me this food box out."

Elder Brother Jiu looked into the food box for a while and said, "When I was eating just now, I felt strange why there was a small piece empty. Tell me, Xiao Shi, how much did you steal on the way!"

Brother Ten made a little gesture: "I ate two yuan! It's like three yuan, at most four yuan, really!"

The ninth elder brother didn't believe him at all, and was about to send him away with a wave of his hand. The tenth elder brother blinked and said: "The fourth elder brother asked me to stay and help, you all live here and don't go back, I want to find someone who can talk All of them are gone. The fourteenth brother also wanted to come, but I persuaded him to go back."

He can still help when he comes, what can Brother Fourteen do when he comes, make trouble?

Brother Nine gave Brother Ten an appreciative glance, this kid still understands Little Fourteen very well!

The fourth elder brother sounds funny, but if the fourteenth elder brother hears it here, he might be furious: "This job is rather boring, tenth brother, can you sit still?"

Elder Brother Ten gritted his teeth and said, "Only one day, Fourth Brother asked me to try it first, and stay if I can."

The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "Okay, the tenth brother will stay for a day to help."

He continued to check the accounts, and the tenth elder brother would hand over to the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother.

The two taught Brother Ten how to classify the accounts, and as for checking the accounts, he had to take his time.

Elder Brother Ten divided the ledgers, divided them into one pile according to the year and month, and then divided them into another pile. He accidentally knocked over a few books. When he picked up one book, he just opened it and closed it. Taking a glance at it, I was suddenly shocked.

"In August of the year of 50, there was a torrential rain on the Yuehe River, and the river flooded. 60 taels of silver were provided to the [-] downstream counties. In October of the same year, there was another heavy rain on the Yuehe River, and [-] taels of silver were provided to the disaster."

He muttered to himself for a while, grabbed the thirteenth elder brother next to him and asked, "Isn't this time when the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother were in the upper reaches of the river, when did they provide disaster relief?"

Elder Brother Thirteen glanced down, his face changed. When they went to cross the river to inspect, there was no heavy rain at all, let alone disaster relief. They had never seen these silver coins at all!

So, the two disaster relief efforts didn't seem to be much each time, so where did the total of 110 million taels go?

He glanced at it twice and sent it to the fourth elder brother: "Fourth brother, look here."

The fourth elder brother saw that his complexion also changed, and frowned: "We don't have floods in the upper reaches. Where did the floods come from the lower reaches?"

Apparently, the Ministry of Household Affairs secretly took these silver taels from the treasury. It was obviously for disaster relief, but they didn't know where they sent them!

Brother Twelve also came in with a ledger and said, "Look at this, fourth brother. During the Longevity Festival, there was a half-person-high red coral in the tribute, which was accidentally damaged and cost 20 taels to repair."

Nine elder brothers clucked their tongues when they heard it from behind: "It costs 20 yuan to repair a red coral plant, and it is enough to buy a new one! Who keeps the accounts, isn't this a nest of snakes and rats?"

He later thought that the Ministry of Household Affairs was indeed of one mind from top to bottom. This time, either they lost their officials and beheaded together, or they were hand in hand and sent to exile. It's really not a good thing!

Elder Brother Ten picked up several other ledger books outside, and came in with one in a daze, "Fourth Brother, repairing the ten-mile plank road outside the capital here cost a total of 100 million taels of artificial materials."

Brother Jiu showed a sneering look: "Ten miles will cost 100 million taels, and the Minister of the Ministry of Households has really eaten the heart of a bear!"

He was so angry that he hugged elder brother Shi and praised: "Xiao Shi is fine, he found many problems as soon as he came."

Brother Ten chuckled: "Luck, it's all luck."

The few books he came across just now had problems. It was really lucky.

Brother Nine simply dragged Brother Ten out, touched something that was not pleasing to the eye, and then picked it up to take a second look, maybe he could see something else.

But later, he was stopped by Elder Brother Thirteen, and the two collided with each other everywhere. Wouldn't the accounts that had just been sorted be messed up again?

The thirteenth elder brother said with a straight face, nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers were embarrassed to touch their noses.

It's just that so many problems were discovered in one day, and the fourth elder brother wrote them down one by one and sent them to the imperial study for the emperor to check.

The emperor was furious when he saw it, and smashed the book on the ground: "What a bastard, he dared to misappropriate the money from the treasury at will, and it would be cheaper for them to just be beheaded at the Meridian Gate!"

Out of anger, it is impossible to really dig up the person and flog the corpse again. The emperor took a deep breath and said: "The fourth child will continue to investigate and see where the money has been sent."

Sending such a large amount of money, even if there are accounts on the surface, so much should attract attention, and it is easy to find clues.

But the fourth elder brother tracked down for a few days, but found nothing.

It was said that it was for disaster relief, and the convoy was there, but after going out, the troops were divided into several groups, all of which were pretense, and there were only stones in the box.

So it can only be that the money has been taken away before it was sent out. How and from whom?

How can it be done silently and sent away at the feet of the emperor without anyone noticing?

With the help of several elder brothers, the fourth elder brother quickly found out all the accounts, and the missing hole was much larger than expected.

The most frightening thing is that they don't know where the silver was sent and how it was sent.

Si elder brother returned home from the palace, Si Fujin saw that his brows were tightly frowned, so he knew that the check of the accounts was not going well, so he comforted him: "Master, take a good rest, don't be exhausted."

He nodded, and after taking a bath and changing clothes, he sat in the study for an hour and still couldn't figure it out.

Eyes everywhere sent messages, and there was nothing particularly unusual.

It is impossible for Yinliang to disappear out of thin air, so it is just a way to deceive people.

The fourth elder brother got up and stood in front of the window, suddenly felt a little hungry, so he turned around and asked, "What did Cian Fujin eat tonight?"

Su Peisheng was dumbfounded by the question, but he knew that it must be Geng Yi who asked, so he hurried to the door to find someone to ask before he came back: "Master Geng ate pork rib noodles tonight, put a spoonful of spicy peppers, the noodles were hand-rolled by Chef Ma, the pork ribs It was braised by Chef Liu."

The fourth elder brother smiled: "Then give me one."

After he came back, he kept frowning, and didn't order food. Su Peisheng was worried, and now he heard his master order food, not to mention how happy he was, so he turned around and asked someone to go to the kitchen to order food.

The kitchen moved quickly, and a bowl of hot pork rib noodles was delivered in a blink of an eye.

Different from Geng Yi's, the bowl given to the fourth elder brother was bigger, but there was no spicy pepper.

The fourth elder brother didn't have the habit of eating in the study room. It happened that it wasn't cold tonight, so he sat at the stone table in the yard and ate a bowl. He felt warm all over and sweated a little on his forehead.

He went back and took the news sent by the eyeliner again, and carefully checked them one by one, not missing even a little bit of sesame seed.

After watching for an hour, Su Peisheng brought another plate of snacks.

The fourth elder brother looked down and wondered: "What is this?"

It looked like pancakes on the plate, but it was uneven and strange. It was hard to the touch, but it was crispy and fragrant when eaten.

Su Peisheng replied: "Master, the kitchen said that this is called stone cake. I picked up stones of different sizes, washed them repeatedly, and then put them on the fire. After heating, put the stones on the reconciled surface, and rolled the surface until it was flat." Flat, the stone will be uneven when pressed, and it will be taken out when it turns golden. Master Geng suddenly wanted to eat it, so he made a lot of it in the kitchen."

Thinking that the pork rib noodles that Geng Yi ate just now was very popular with the fourth elder brother, the kitchen side graciously delivered this snack that Geng Yi also liked.

Although it is strange to make it with stone, it is not as hard as stone, and it is crunchy and delicious.

The fourth elder brother unknowingly finished eating a plate, drank warm tea, and suddenly picked up a piece of letter paper on the table with only a few words on it.

Three months ago, someone came out of the city with two carts of stones, saying that the ancestral tomb had collapsed after the heavy rain and needed to be repaired. Naturally, the guards at the city gate did not stop them.

The fourth elder brother asked suddenly: "Do you have any silver with you?"

Su Peisheng quickly took out a piece of broken silver, which was only the size of a thumb, and the fourth elder brother was enough to use it. He threw it into the ink at will, and then asked someone to take it out. Now, can’t you see that it’s money?”

Su Peisheng took a closer look, nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's so dark, I look like a stone."

It's right to look like a stone, and the fourth elder brother also said how the silver was sent out silently, so it was pretended to be a stone.

He looked at a few letters. During that time, there were a lot of tombs repaired, because the heavy rain collapsed several ancestral tombs, and the guards didn't think much about it. After all, who would lie about their own ancestral tombs?

Little did they know that these people knew what the guards were thinking, so they pretended to repair the ancestral graves, and ran away again and again with a few carts of silver.

In addition to those who pretended to transport stones, there was also a group of old people who died suddenly and were sent back to their hometown for a dignified burial. The people brought a lot of things to be buried with them, saying that they were favorites of the old people.

There are especially many boxes, and the guards are also vigilant. They have to open each one to take a look at it from a distance. There is no problem on the surface, but the problem is that the money is probably hidden underneath.

In particular, the eyeliner said that the old man's coffin was made very large, wider and taller than ordinary people's. The family members said that the old man was very fat, and the coffin was specially made to hold people.

The fourth elder brother thought that the coffin might be double-layered, with the old man lying on the top and silver on the bottom.

After all, the eyeliner also wrote that eight people were required to lift the coffin, because the family members said that the old man was very fat, which confused other people, who only thought that the old man was too heavy to lift the coffin.

He sighed softly: "Careless."

The guards at the city gate did not neglect their duties, but the other party was too cunning.

No one would have imagined that tampering with the ancestral graves and coffins, this is simply insane!

The fourth elder brother sent someone to look at the ancestral grave that the other party said was destroyed, and it was actually repaired.

It's just that it's obviously perfunctory, the surface is more neatly pasted as if it has been repaired, but the inside is still a mess.

And what kind of ancestral tomb is this? Judging by the specifications, it looks like an ordinary tomb. It would be nice to help with repairs. It's just a superficial effort.

The city gate guard was called to repeatedly recall the appearance of the other party, Brother Jiu followed, drew the faces of a few people according to the guard's instructions, and quickly frowned and said: "Fourth brother, these people look too ordinary, and they can be arrested casually in the capital. Several people look similar."

The fourth elder brother nodded, knowing that the other party was deliberately looking for ordinary-looking people, even if they were recognized by the guards, there was no way to catch them.

It has been several months, and those people probably fled far away and hid. It is not so easy to find them.

As for the one who said to send the old man back to his hometown for burial, the guards dutifully asked about the location, and the fourth elder brother sent someone to investigate.

It only recalled that a group of people passed by, but did not stop, and went into the mountain, and did not see any coffins, but a group of bodyguards, who looked like they were delivering goods from a distance.

The delivery by the bodyguard was nothing special, if it wasn't for the cleverness of the person who sent it, he repeatedly asked if there was any passing by of the coffin, and the villagers shook their heads one after another, and suddenly thought of asking if there was a team of people passing by.

Disguised as bodyguards in the middle of the spirit sending team, these people also came prepared.

The villagers pointed out the way, and the people they sent chased up the mountain to see if there were any traces left?

Such a long period of time is enough for the grass to grow again, and the stepped places no longer exist.

And the other party was very careful, there were no marks on the trees, and according to the villagers, no one came out from the other side of the mountain, as if they had disappeared.

Of course, the villagers just thought they didn't see it by chance, but the people sent by the fourth elder brother were very careful and asked all the people living near the foot of the mountain.

It may be a coincidence that one or two did not meet, and everyone did not see it, so it would be strange.

After the fourth elder brother got the news, he began to wonder if the silver was still hidden in the mountains.

Those people scattered away after delivering the things, so that the villagers didn't find out. If they brought so much silver, it would not be so easy to leave quietly.

In any case, this mountain was the last place where this group of people had their whereabouts, and the fourth elder brother informed the emperor.

The emperor thought about it, and asked the fourteenth brother to take people to search there to see if there were any clues.

In fact, he didn't have any special expectations for the fourteenth elder brother, but this kid may be too busy recently, and several brothers went to check the accounts again. Flying dog jumps.

The emperor simply got his son who had excess energy out, and ran around the mountains and fields, and he would always be quieter when he came back!

Don't mention how happy the fourteenth elder brother is, he first ran to the fourth elder brother for a while, and asked about the situation in the mountain by the way, and he was prepared.

The fourth elder brother saw the happy look of the fourteenth elder brother, and knew to ask about the situation before setting off. He was still satisfied with this younger brother. He was not as impulsive and reckless as before, and he finally grew up a little more sensible.

If the emperor knew what the fourth elder brother was thinking here, he would probably want to pooh the fourteenth elder brother.

This kid was restless when he lived in the palace. After leaving the palace to build a mansion, he wandered around and couldn't get home. He called to see Concubine De in the palace, and made a few younger elder brothers cry on the way.

The fourteenth elder brother was also wronged, because he saw a few younger elder brothers playing pitching pots on the road, so he joined in, and then he hit every shot and had a great time playing.

A few little elder brothers watched the fourteenth elder brother keep making shots, and then it was endless and they couldn't play, can they not cry?

Brother Fourteen was caught off guard by their crying and ran away in despair.

Later, when the emperor found out, he couldn't laugh or cry, so Tiliu Fourteenth elder brother came to the front of him and taught him a lesson, so that this kid would also know how to let his younger brother and so on.

Fortunately, the emperor was not annoyed. After all, the fourteenth elder brother just played with his mind and forgot everything, and he didn't mean to bully others deliberately, so he sent him an errand.

The fourth elder brother drew a simple schematic diagram and told the fourteenth elder brother that this place is here and what the situation is on the mountain: "There lived an old hunter at the foot of the mountain. You can ask him to be your guide to take you up the mountain."

Brother Fourteen nodded and remembered where the old hunter lived.

Since the fourth elder brother spoke, the old hunter naturally had no problem, and he would not get lost on the mountain. For him, it would be twice the result with half the effort: "Don't worry, fourth brother, younger brother will definitely find that batch of silver taels."

The fourth elder brother is almost the same as the emperor, so he thinks that it is good for the fourteenth elder brother to go out and experience some experience at his age.

The deputy general who followed was a man of good character, good temper, and prudent in doing things. It seemed that the emperor had carefully selected him. I was afraid that the fourteenth elder brother would let go when he went out, so he had to keep an eye on him anyway.

After all, if the lieutenant general is more irritable, if he is not careful, he will start a fight with Brother Fourteen.

The fourth elder brother was a little worried that this good-tempered lieutenant could really hold down the fourteenth elder brother?
