[Qing] Fourth Master, learn about health preservation

Haizhang, the new official, had to light up three fires if he didn't want to. He ruthlessly rectified the House of Internal Affairs. At least it looked a little bit, but the emperor was still not satisfied.

What does it mean to look good on the outside? Has the inside been tidied up?No!

Then it is like cleaning the house, the outside is cleaned, and it looks good.The inside is still messy and unorganized, isn't this fooling people?

The emperor issued a death order, either Haizhang rectified the top and bottom of the House of Internal Affairs, or he took the initiative to leave and replace it with someone else.

Haizhang had a headache. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is not like an iron bucket.With his status, he doesn't have much power, so what can he do with his mouth?

One of his aunts was the handkerchief of Brother Jiu's nanny many years ago, so she turned the corner and begged to Brother Jiu.

Brother Jiu was puzzled when he knew that Haizhang came to see him: "Who is this? The handkerchief from the nanny? What does that have to do with me?"

Elder Brother Shi sat across from him and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, let him make a difference? Brother Ninth, he must be here for the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, don't you intend to intervene?"

Brother Jiu glanced at him angrily: "What are you mixing, the water inside is deep!"

It's not that he has nothing to do, why did he take the initiative to stir up this muddy water?

Brother Ten stretched out his hand and rubbed his thumbs, blinked and said: "Brother Ninth, you can make money if you mix it in, don't you like this the most?"

Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Go, go, Xiao Shi, you will also bury your brother Jiu? What money can be made and what money can't be made, your brother Jiu still knows."

He will definitely not let go of what he can make, and he will not touch what he can't make.

Elder Brother Ten held the teacup and said again: "If Haizhang comes to see you twice every three days, and secretly uses Brother Ninth's relationship as a cover to pull the banner to rectify the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brother Ninth, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to get rid of it." Clear!"

Brother Nine frowned, and he had to say that Brother Ten was a bystander, which really hit the nail on the head.

You want Haizhang to say outside that he has a relationship with Brother Nine, and use the name of Brother Nine to rectify the House of Internal Affairs. The ability is not much.

Didn't he know how to raise the banner and drag Brother Jiu into the water before he started to do this matter?

If you can't do the errands well, Brother Nine is still covered in fishy fish for no reason, that's bad luck!

"Xiao Shi, what you said is right. Tell me what should I do? I can't just beat someone up and throw them out, so as to prove that I have nothing to do with Haizhang, right?"

Elder Brother Shi blinked and said, "Brother Ninth thinks highly of me, and my younger brother is quite happy. If my younger brother wants to know what to do, I have already told Brother Ninth."

Seeing Brother Nine raising his eyebrows and making a gesture to hit himself on the head, Brother Ten quickly said, "No, no, brother still has a way."

Brother Jiu withdrew his hand and asked, "What is it, tell me quickly!"

Elder Brother Ten chuckled: "We don't understand, why don't we ask Fourth Brother for advice?"

Ninth elder brother slapped his head, yes, they can't figure it out clearly, just ask fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother came back from court, and the two younger brothers came to visit for no reason, and they looked solemn, and they went straight to the study to talk about business.

He thought something serious had happened, so he hurriedly took him to the study room, and asked Su Peisheng to watch at the door, before he asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

Brother Jiu hurriedly told about Haizhang, scratched his head and said in distress: "It's not that Xiao Shi and I can't figure it out, so we have to ask Fourth Brother what he means and help me out with an idea."

Elder Brother Ten secretly glared at him, it was Brother Nine's business, why did he involve himself!

Ninth elder brother also quietly winked at tenth elder brother, brother!

The fourth elder brother watched the two younger brothers winking at each other from behind the desk, and reminded with a dry cough: "The ninth brother is very annoying, but also afraid of being misunderstood, why not go directly to the palace and talk to Huang Ama."

Brother Jiu was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it, it was really a good idea. Isn't he most afraid of the emperor's misunderstanding?

"Fourth brother still has a way, I'll go to the palace right now."

He turned around and took a few steps, and turned around to see Elder Brother Ten still standing by the desk.

Seeing Brother Nine turning back, Elder Brother Shi waved his hand and said, "Brother Nine, hurry to the palace, my brother is waiting for you here."

Brother Jiu was not happy: "Why, Xiao Shi, won't you come into the palace with me?"

"I don't want to go, Brother Nine can just go by himself." Elder Brother Ten grumbled, "I didn't say, Brother Ninth, you are so old, you still need me to accompany you when you enter the palace, are you ashamed!"

He stretched out his hand to shave his cheeks, the ninth elder brother was so angry that he wanted to rush over to scratch the tenth elder brother, but the tenth elder brother avoided it with a smile, and hid behind the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother grabbed the tenth elder brother with one hand and dragged it out, and said to the ninth elder brother seriously: "What time is it, the matter is urgent, we can't delay it, let's go!"

Even if the two younger brothers got married, they were still very childish. The fourth elder brother had a headache and felt helpless, but felt that it was good that the younger brother hadn't changed much.

And if there was something that couldn't be solved, the two of them ran over to him and asked him. They believed in themselves so much, and they were quite proud of being the elder brother, the fourth elder brother.

Brother Nine glared at Brother Ten, and then hurried into the palace to meet the emperor in the imperial study.

The emperor called the people in, and Brother Nine immediately spoke up, frowning and said: "Huang Ama, get the seal away, and come to my house every three days, saying that his aunt is the handkerchief of Erchen's nanny, rounding it up." Just have friendship with Erchen? Go outside and talk about it, people say what they say, I don’t know if it will turn out that Erchen and Haizhang were brought up by the same nanny!"

Hearing this, the emperor was unhappy and said: "What nonsense! You really dare to say anything!"

Brother Nine rubbed his nose and said, "It wasn't in front of Huang Ama that I dared to say anything."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Okay, I understand."

Ninth elder brother saluted quickly: "My son, thank you Huang Ama!"

The emperor was happy: "I haven't said anything yet, you already know what I'm going to do?"

Brother Nine smiled and said: "No matter what Huang Ama does, it must be for the good of my son, and my son should thank you."

The emperor smiled and said: "Slick tongue! Go down!"

When Brother Jiu heard this, he quickly saluted and retreated. The emperor pondered for a while and told Li Dequan: "Hai Zhang seems to be useless. I have no ability to drag Xiao Jiu into the water. Since he is incompetent, he doesn't have to." Sit in that position."

Li Dequan was startled, and quickly responded, and then heard the emperor say: "Let Xiao Twelve come and see me."

Elder Brother Twelve was summoned into the palace by the emperor, and he was uneasy on the way there, thinking in his heart that it was because he was called into the palace by the emperor.

He thought about it again, and he hadn't done anything wrong recently.

Anyway, I was not afraid of the shadow, and when I got off the carriage and entered the palace, Elder Brother Twelve had already calmed down completely, and saluted in an orderly manner after stepping into the imperial study.

Seeing his calm and unafraid appearance, the emperor was very satisfied, stroked his beard and said, "Call Xiao Twelve over, it's because there is a vacancy for the head of the House of Internal Affairs. That’s right, the rectification of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also requires the meticulous work of checking accounts, so I will let you take over for the time being.”

Elder Brother Twelve was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the emperor to give him such an errand, so he hurriedly replied: "Yes, I will definitely handle the errand well."

There were no fancy words to show loyalty, but a simple sentence made the emperor feel more at ease.

If Twelfth Elder Brother had a pleasant face and a lot of good words and a lot of promises, the emperor would not be so at ease. I was afraid that Twelfth Elder Brother would only talk beautifully but not work. To make matters worse.

Fortunately, the emperor saw the right person. Although Elder Brother Twelve was young, he was calm.

If brother Jiu was here, he might be surprised after hearing it.

The emperor pointed out that eunuch Gao followed Twelve Elder Brothers to the House of Internal Affairs, lest those people think that Twelve Elder Brothers took charge of the Internal Affairs Office as a joke.

If eunuch Gao hadn't been there, the officials of the House of Internal Affairs would have thought Elder Brother Twelve was joking.

After all, it hasn't been half a month since Haizhang, the new manager, has been replaced, so he went down and replaced him, and it was still the young twelve elder brothers, what are you kidding?

But the eunuch Gao who was serving in front of the emperor was standing and watching them with a smile, obviously this was not a joke.

Several people in charge hurried over to meet the new manager, Elder Brother Twelve. They were still not convinced by this young elder brother, and felt that even if it was changed to Elder Brother Twelve, it would be the same thing. Brother Twelve is not as good as Haizhang!

Elder Brother Twelve didn't care what they were thinking, and just ordered: "Thank you, everyone, please send over the account books of the last few years, and call a few small officials to help."

He checked the accounts with the fourth elder brother last time, and found that the little official's is easy to use, and he plans to use it this time.

Otherwise, if you check the accounts by yourself, wouldn't you be exhausted?

Elder Brother Twelve didn't intend to exhaust himself to death, so naturally he had to find a helper first. As for asking people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help, wouldn't it be more helpful?

And who knows if they will play tricks in private to hinder themselves!Might as well not use it!

The errand eunuch called five or six small officials in a while, and the twelve princes glanced at them and found that they were all used before, and nodded in satisfaction.

The manager has already sent someone to pick up the account book, and there are five or six large boxes.

The ledger inside is still new on the surface, and it should be the most recent.There are also very old ones, the skin is starting to turn yellow, I don't know how long ago.

Elder Brother Twelve glanced at it, and there were old and new in a box. Sure enough, these people didn't intend to be obedient, and they were going to embarrass themselves.

The old and the new are mixed together, isn't this causing him trouble?

The stewards stared at Brother Twelve, just to see his reaction.

He pretended he didn't see it, and then asked the little official to carry the box in, ready to settle the matter.

Or the twelfth elder brother will go crazy on the spot. At that time, as long as the supervisor shirks that the subordinates are not doing their job effectively, the matter will pass easily. Otherwise, what else can the twelfth elder brother do to them?

How could it be possible to hand over to the supervisors just because the account books were not put in place without any evidence?

Brother Twelve also knew it was impossible, so he didn't get mad at all, but he didn't even intend to pretend he didn't see it. He pointed to the box and said, "This account book is in a mess. It seems that the supervisors don't usually look at the accounts. It looks very trustworthy. Since they didn’t fix it, let your subordinates come over and sort it out again, and I will check the accounts early tomorrow morning.”

The supervisors responded with a respectful look, but they didn't take it seriously in their hearts. Anyway, the account book was not done in a day, and Brother Twelve would not be able to start checking the accounts tomorrow.

If you can’t delay the day after tomorrow, if you can’t delay the day after tomorrow, what else can Twelve Elder Brothers do? Do you want to grab the person in charge and hit the board?

It's okay to beat someone to vent your anger. If you beat someone to death, the censor will have a job to do. Brother Twelve probably wouldn't dare to kill someone at will.

Elder Brother Twelve walked two steps and suddenly turned around and said: "If I don't see the account books that have been sorted out tomorrow morning, it proves that the trustees in charge of the trustees are not capable. Anyway, there are so many people under the charge of the secretary. Batch after batch to sort out, there will always be someone who can work."

He also said to Eunuch Gao: "I'd like to ask you to talk to the people in each department, the number of people is great, right?"

The faces of the supervisors all changed. They didn't expect this young twelve elder brother to be so easy to fool.

He also sent someone to Sifang to tell everyone that his confidantes dare not do their job well, because they are afraid that other people will try to make things difficult for them!

At that time, the account books are not done properly, and the confidantes are kicked out after eating, and the manpower that the managers have spent so many years training will be gone?

It is not easy to re-train, and they will suffer a lot!

The supervisors expressed their opinions one after another: "The servants will go back and beat it later, and it will be done properly. Brother Twelve will be able to see the sorted account book tomorrow morning, don't you think so?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Twelve, just rest assured."

They all changed their previous attitude of seeming respectful but actually not listening to anything. Brother Twelve just smiled and nodded and said: "Then I will be in charge of you."

But what Eunuch Gao went to say, it is obvious that Brother Twelfth did not intend to change his mind.

Eunuch Gao thought that this young twelfth elder brother was really easy to fool, just seeing the colorful expressions of the supervisors, he felt that he had come to the right place, and he had to talk to Li Dequan in private later.

Of course, when eunuch Gao finished talking to Li Dequan, it was tantamount to telling the emperor.

The emperor stroked his beard and smiled. He was worried that Brother Twelve would not be able to suppress these people, but now it seems that he can do it.

As soon as Eunuch Gao went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to announce, many people were eager to replace those confidantes who were in charge.

It's better to flatter the twelfth elder brother directly than to flatter the supervisor. If you want to be a familiar face, you may be able to be the boss in the future!

The manager couldn't control the people's hearts fluttering, he was so angry that he wanted to tell his confidants to work quickly, don't get caught by the twelfth elder brother!

Elder Brother Twelve had a comfortable night's rest after returning home, refreshed and went to the House of Internal Affairs to check the accounts.

Several confidantes sorted out the account books all night, and they were dizzy from exhaustion, and they finally got it done before dawn.

When they saw Brother Twelve coming over, they hurriedly saluted, saying that it was over, so they could finally leave now, right?

How is this possible!

Brother Twelve glanced at the ledgers sorted out in the box, the old and the new were separated, he pointed to the old ledger, and a servant handed over one, he flipped through it casually and said: "This ledger is all yellowed, the inside The accounts are not clear, so you can help to copy them again. By the way, one person will copy it and then check it again. If a mistake is found, the other party will copy one more copy, and you will copy one less copy."

He ordered two more small officials to record this.

Several confidantes looked at each other in blank dismay, there are already people who want to die, a box of old ledgers, when are they going to copy them?

Moreover, they have to supervise each other and check and balance each other. Brother Twelve is so ruthless, isn't this sowing discord!

One of them couldn't help but said: "Brother Twelve, it's too time-consuming to copy these again, and I'm afraid it will delay the progress of the audit. If you really need to copy, why don't you ask more people to help?"

It was a headache for him to see Elder Brother Twelve, although his face was tender, but his uncompromising temperament was also a headache.

Anyway, we have to work, why do we have to drag more people into the water to do it together, or will we exhaust them to death?

A few people deeply believed that working alone is not as good as working together. Anyway, it's okay to distribute the less important work to others, and it's still familiar to their own people.

Elder Brother Twelve raised his eyebrows and said, "For such an important thing as the ledger, the manager asked you to come here because he trusts you, but not the others. If something happens, will you be responsible?"

Who dares to be responsible for this kind of thing, isn't Brother Twelve not responsible?

A few people didn't dare to question directly, and they heard Elder Brother Twelve say: "Don't worry about delaying the progress of checking the accounts. There are so many ledgers. When you finish copying the old ones, the new ones will probably be checked. , without any delay."

Come on, anyway, I have to do the copying of the books.

A few people were so exhausted that they could only drink a pot of strong tea and continue working. Anyway, copying the ledger only needs to read and write, and it doesn't take much brainpower.

After copying for a day, they couldn't lift their arms when they went back, and they couldn't even hold the chopsticks.

So they can only cry to the supervisor, help me, this job is not done by humans!

What can Si Guan do, he can only bite the bullet and come to Brother Twelve to discuss: "It's too slow for them to copy so many ledgers, why don't we send more people here."

Elder Brother Twelfth seemed a bit reluctant, and only reluctantly nodded after repeated pleas from the supervisor: "Okay, find someone you can trust, and you can't leak out the account book at will."

Si Guan responded repeatedly, turned his head and ordered the manpower he needed on weekdays, and moved all the confidantes who could be used to help.

Elder Brother Twelve also asked the clerk to count the number of people, record the names of the people, and turn around every day, don't go fishing for three days and hang the nets for two days, and run away after two days!

The manager felt that something was wrong, and asked suspiciously: "Since they are here, they will definitely work hard, so there is no need to record their names in the register?"

Brother Twelve said unhappily: "How can I remember so many people, one or two will be missing someday, so why not remember them?"

Si Guan thinks about it, Twelve Elder Brothers can't remember so many people. If they write down their names, it will be much easier for them to call when they come every day.

It is true that copying the account books is much faster when there are more people. Brother Twelve is still in a group of two, and after copying the account books, they will check with each other.

And after changing a book, the team members have to change, and the same person cannot be repeated, in case they cover each other.

The people selected here are not under the same supervisor. Although they may be familiar with each other, they are not familiar enough to cover each other.

Elder Brother Twelve will also ask the petty officials to do spot checks, and take a pair at random every two days. If a lot of mistakes are found, the two people in that group will be kicked out without telling each other, and they will be punished and kicked out directly. Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This is a heavy punishment. The House of Internal Affairs is a luscious place, so many people have to squeeze their heads to get in. Who is willing to leave this good job, and each one is more serious than the inspection.

If there are many mistakes in copying, then one more copy should be made, and the other party can copy one less copy.

At first, everyone was polite, but later on, let alone acquaintances, not even my own father!

It’s okay to copy one less copy and one more copy, but five or six less copies will make a difference!

Every day after the mooting, the two people in the same group look at each other with fighting intent: Xiao Mian, I’m afraid I won’t find your mistakes today, so copy one more copy!

Brother Twelve is not only punished but not rewarded, he can be exempted from copying a copy if he copies quickly and well, and he can also designate who to copy the copy to!

Those who didn't deal with it before are eager to fight, wishing to add trouble to the other party!

With so many ledgers, I thought it would take two months to copy, but who knew that it would be almost done in just one month.

In addition, Elder Brother Twelve took a few small officials to check the accounts, and the new accounts were all checked.

The conclusion reached is that each account in these books is written clearly, there is no trick in adding up, the total is correct, and there is no discrepancy every month when separated, it is obvious that the accounts are completely flattened.

The little official looked at the slumped Elder Brother Twelve with some trepidation, for fear that he would lose his temper.

In just one month, no one in the Ministry of Internal Affairs dared to underestimate this twelfth elder brother!

Elder Brother Twelve quickly calmed down and said, "The ones that were copied from the old account book first are all correct, how about it?"

A small official handed over the records for Brother Twelve to review: "The numbers are all correct, there is no problem."

He hesitated for a moment, and Brother Twelve noticed it: "But it's okay, there are no outsiders here."

The other petty officials quickly lowered their heads, these words warmed the heart.

Hearing this, the little official gritted his teeth and said, "I found a few large accounts, but they didn't go to the conspicuous places. For example, when the Empress Dowager in the harem invites a troupe to entertain the Empress Dowager during Chinese New Year, three times a year, A total of 10 taels was spent each time."

After one year, there are 30 taels here.

Elder Brother Twelve looked at him encouragingly, and the little official continued: "At the beginning, when I entered the palace, I knew how to read and write. I joined the theater troupe and wrote books for the actors, so I knew a little bit. The little one Theatrical troupes are cheap, and they can be hired for three to five thousand yuan. The big troupe may cost 1 taels to win because of their famous roles. If it is a very famous troupe, three to fifty thousand yuan will be the top."

The implication is, where did you find the troupe for 10 taels this time?

If you find a theater troupe of 5 to [-] taels, whose pocket will the rest of the money go into?

Brother Twelve raised his eyebrows. He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he didn't like to go out much. Naturally, he didn't know about these prices, so he was fooled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Even the emperor probably didn't know about these specific mundane affairs, so he couldn't help but sneered and said, "Their appetites are not small."

The little official lowered his head, feeling uneasy.

Elder Brother Twelfth reassured me: "Don't worry, no one else will know what you said about this matter except those present."

"Thank you Twelve Elder Brothers," the little official felt relieved, after all this matter was exposed, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely come to trouble him.

Elder Brother Twelve asked if the old account books outside were completely copied, so he told people not to leave for the time being, and went to report to the emperor first. Everyone misunderstood that this was to reward them, so no one would be willing to leave at this time, and they all stayed obediently up.

After ordering the eunuch to serve tea, and asking the petty officials to keep an eye on them privately so that no one would leave, the Siguan also sent people to watch, then Elder Brother Twelve went to the imperial study to meet the emperor, and told the story about the troupe straight to the point: " Huang Ama, the people from the top to the bottom of the Ministry of Internal Affairs probably have stretched out their hands to investigate one by one, I'm afraid they will startle the snake, catch the small fish and let the big one go."

The emperor's face darkened when he heard this, and he asked, "What are you going to do, Twelve?"

Brother Twelve said seriously: "What I mean is that the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are broken from the root. If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, it is estimated that no one is innocent. It is better to completely replace the upper beam."

After listening, the emperor raised his eyebrows and said: "Twelve, you have been with the fourth child for a long time, and your style is exactly the same as him."

It was the same when the fourth elder brother went to rectify Jiangnan's officialdom before, and if it didn't work, he would replace them all.

Others would catch one or two people to make an example of others, but the fourth elder brother didn't, he just cut the weeds and eradicated them.

I don't believe that uprooting like this can't deter other people. If you dare to reach out, you will directly chop off your arm. Let's see who dares!

Brother Twelfth nodded seriously and said: "Ama Huang, these people have taken away a lot of money from the treasury for many years. These people belong to Ama Huang, and they should be taken back. As for them If you are deeply favored by the emperor, if you don’t do a good job and dare to pocket your own money, you should replace them all and replace them with loyal ones.”

"I believe there are many loyal people, there is no need to let these people occupy the seat."

Anyway, there are many people coming to exchange, so why keep these unfaithful and unrighteous people!

The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked: "After replacing all the people, who does Xiao Twelve plan to let take charge of the various divisions?"

Sifang is different from Jiangnan officials. After all, there are small officials to help with the operation. Later, someone will be sent to take over. With the assistance of small officials, you can get started slowly.

But this time, if all the top-to-bottom supervisors and their confidantes are replaced in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there will be no experienced guide to lead the way. What will the person who takes over do?

For example, the Master of Ceremonies is responsible for small-scale sacrifices and eunuch ranks, the Duyu Division is responsible for the selection of military positions, the Punishment Division is in charge of palace people's mistakes and interrogations, the Construction Division is responsible for repairs in various places in the palace, and the Money and Food Division is in charge. It's about Huangzhuang's rent and tax.

There are at least 3000 people in the Seven Divisions and Three Academies, and it is impossible to replace them all.

Elder Brother Twelve said: "Replace the managers and their confidantes, and promote the rest of the Sifang. I don't believe that there is not a single person in the Sifang."

The emperor asked: "Then how does Little Twelve know that the replacements are all Si Guan's confidantes, and will there be fish that slip through the net?"

Hearing this, Elder Brother Twelve laughed, and told me that he was going to copy the account books recently, and asked Si Guan to send his confidants over.

The emperor knew about this before, and he only thought that the account book was really important, so he asked the supervisor to pick a trustworthy person to send him to help. Who knew that the twelve princes were waiting here?

He had this plan before instructing the manager, and he wanted the confidant of the manager to finish copying the account books before arresting him?

It is estimated that the confidantes of those in charge really thought that the twelfth elder brother came to face the saints, and he was going to ask for rewards for them. How did he know that the twelve elder brothers came to ask for punishment, and wanted to catch them all!

The emperor was quite satisfied with stroking his beard. This son can be said to take one step but think three steps, and he has covered everything.

Originally, the emperor thought that Elder Brother Twelve might be jealous and wanted to replace all the supervisors and their confidantes, but now he has clearly considered it carefully.

The villains were not spared, but no innocent people were involved. The remaining people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were available, so the emperor nodded and said, "Yes, then follow Xiao Twelve's wishes."

Brother Twelve smiled and said: "Yes, I will not let Huang Ama down. However, I also want to ask Huang Ama for help."

Otherwise, with so many people, it might not be so easy for him to win them all at once.

The emperor waved his hand and signaled Li Dequan to follow: "Let the Imperial Forest Army cooperate, and the Punishment Department probably won't be able to let it go. There is simply a shortage of manpower at the Imperial Mausoleum, so send them all."

A few words determined the fate of those people. It was their honor to be sent to work in the imperial mausoleum, and they had to be grateful to Dade.

Li Dequan knew in his heart that after these people were sent there, it would be considered good if they could survive for two or three years.

The confidantes who were waiting were still happy in their hearts, and when they turned around, they found that several supervisors had also been invited over, saying that Brother Twelve had something to say.

Si Guan was puzzled, hearing from his confidant that maybe Twelfth Elder Brother went to the emperor to ask for a reward, but it was still a bit awkward.

They are not naive people like confidantes. They have been struggling for many years and naturally smell something wrong.

When the supervisors wanted to find an excuse to leave, they found that they could not leave, and the outside was surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army.

Brother Twelve was at the front, looked at the crowd and said, "The emperor has ordered you to send everyone to the imperial mausoleum to do your part, why don't you thank me?"

The stewards were dumbfounded, and the teacups in the hands of the confidants behind them fell on the table, and they wanted to cry bitterly, and even wanted to escape from the palace.

However, they didn't dare, the Imperial Forest Army was staring at each other, and whoever dared to move would be killed on the spot.

Although for these people, it is better to move their heads at this time to go to the imperial mausoleum to work as hard labor.

The supervisors didn't think that the accounts were evened out. How could the twelfth elder brother find out the problem, and said in a dying struggle: "If the twelve elder brothers want to arrest someone, we must know the charges."

Elder Brother Twelve had already ordered a group of imperial guards to go to the homes of the supervisors in various places, so as not to let the news leak and let them escape, and also to search for evidence.

One of the stewards was richer than the other, and the amount of gold and silver obviously did not match their salaries.

Elder Brother Twelve directly asked the Imperial Forest Army to report the amount of gold and silver copied from each family, and the supervisors were immediately speechless.

They understand that the matter has come to this point, there is no room for maneuver, they can only beg: "Please also ask the twelve elder brothers to hold your hands high and let our family members wait."

Elder Brother Twelve smiled and said, "If you want to avoid harming your family, you have to see if your family has enjoyed the blessings."

If the benefits of the family are shared, and the disasters are to be separated, is this possible?

Fortunately, he calmed down and said, "Don't worry, if the side branch didn't reach out, it shouldn't be implicated."

The supervisors wanted to scold people in their hearts, what they wanted was the safety of their immediate family members, what business did they have to do with them!

It's a pity that it's too late to say these things now, the imperial forest army rushed forward to arrest people, and all of them were tied up and sent out of the palace.

The Twelve Elder Brothers sent the Imperial Forest Army to raid the homes of the seven stewards overnight, which can be said to have shaken the entire court.

He has always had no sense of existence, only when he was reused and discarded, he was remembered by others. Who knows that if he doesn't sing, he is now a blockbuster!

Originally, some people thought that the twelfth elder brother was going too far, and he learned from the fourth elder brother, so he should take a step-by-step approach, instead of being so jealous, and would rather kill the wrong one than let one go, and kill all seven supervisors.

After countless gold, silver, jewels, antiques and even a few tributes were copied from the steward's house and sent to the front of the hall, and they were filled to the brim, all these voices disappeared.

Si Guan also has land deeds for countless fertile fields and houses in his hands, and he also has a group of beautiful concubines.

Wearing silk and satin every day, eating and drinking like nobles in the palace, living a fairy-like life behind closed doors, but still greedy.

They also accept bribes in private. The rank of eunuchs is based on whoever gives the most money. They are promoted; with.

The master with a low status in the harem didn't dare to say anything, lest the future be more difficult.

Even those with a slightly higher status can only swallow their anger, for fear that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will trip them up.

After all, the respect room is also owned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Which empress in the harem dares to offend, and doesn't want to see the emperor again in this life?

Such a bold and reckless act, the emperor was so angry that he wanted to take back his life. Sending these people to the imperial mausoleum is simply cheap for them!

Anyway, I was persuaded by Elder Brother Twelve, after all, the emperor is not easy to go back on his word.

And for him, compared to going to the imperial mausoleum for a few years, beheading is cheaper for these people!

Anyone who had stretched out their hands after ransacking the house would not be able to escape, and the offshoots who knew about it had to be arrested as well, and they went to work in the imperial mausoleum together.

A series of people were sent to the imperial tomb, so that there was no shortage of manpower at the imperial tomb, and the progress was faster than before.

Brother Nine heard that Elder Brother Twelve was called by the emperor to go to the House of Internal Affairs for rectification, and he was very worried, for fear that this shy younger brother would be bullied by those old fried dough sticks from the House of Internal Affairs.

However, the emperor has spoken, and it is impossible to take back his order.

Brother Nine didn't dare to go to Brother Twelve casually. After all, checking accounts is too sensitive, so it's better to avoid suspicion.

Unexpectedly, only one month before and after, the twelfth elder brother fought a beautiful battle, forcibly scraping off the cancerous tumors in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, clearing up the atmosphere, and severely frightened the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After finishing the errand, Brother Jiu went to see Brother Twelve, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little Twelve is really capable, it really impresses me!"

Knowing that Brother Nine has been worried for a long time, Brother Twelfth smiled gratefully and said, "Let Brother Nine worry about it."

Brother Nine also smiled and said, "It's nothing to worry about, but I'm sorry that I can't help. Well, it's almost time, let's go."

Brother Twelve walked out with his arms around him, and asked with a blank face, "Brother Ninth, where are we going?"

"Go to the fourth brother, you have done a great job, of course you have to celebrate!" The carriage was already waiting outside, the ninth elder brother took the twelfth elder brother up, and the twelfth elder brother sat down before returning Come on.

"I haven't told the fourth brother yet, why don't you rush to disturb me?"

Brother Nine smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've sent someone to tell Fourth Brother that I'm going to give you a surprise for Twelve! Little Ten, Thirteen and Fourteen have already passed by, and I came here specially to pick you up."

"It should be me who invited a few brothers to my house, but it's a pity that my house is simple and the cook's skills are far inferior to Ma Ban's." Twelve elder brothers warmed their hearts, and smiled again: "Ninth brother is special I chose the fourth brother, because I actually want to eat Ma Banban's craftsmanship, right?"

Brother Nine also laughed: "Isn't this the best of both worlds? You can celebrate Twelve and enjoy the craftsmanship of Ma Banban, why not do it?"
