[Red Mansion] When Zhen Shiyin was reborn

After staying for a few days, the river was unsealed, and the Liu family wanted to take Liu Xianglian back to the capital directly, but after being entangled by Liu Xianglian for a while, they postponed it for a few days. Strolling around Shou'an Temple Lane, I finally saw the carriage that Ri Yinglian was riding in when she came to Yushi's Mansion that day, and rode behind her quietly.

Seeing that the carriage went to Yushi's Mansion first and stopped, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl got out of the carriage. Liu Xianglian recognized that it was the girl who came to Yushi's Mansion that day to accompany Yinglian.Not long after, a small girl came out from Yushi's mansion, she seemed to be Daiyu, followed by a woman and two servant girls, one was a little older, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other was only six or seven years old. look.

a month ago

The fourth prince Zhu Rong secretly came to Yangzhou City to investigate corruption cases in Jiangnan official circles under a secret decree.Ruhai was appointed in the secret decree to assist the fourth prince in the investigation.

The fourth prince recently got married two years ago, came out to build a mansion, and now he is receiving an errand in the household department. For some reason, he was sent to investigate corruption cases in the Jiangnan officialdom.

Although official corruption has been a major hidden danger in the court since ancient times, it has been repeatedly banned. In addition, the current dynasty has just established a government policy, and it has only been passed down to the current emperor for two generations. Therefore, the situation of official corruption was not very serious before. It was the first time to clear up official corruption cases.

As soon as the canal was unsealed, he came to Yangzhou by boat, took a merchant ship, pretended to be a tea merchant, and went to the south of the Yangtze River with other tea merchants.It was only three days ago that I arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and I walked day and night without stopping for a day before I reached the outside of Yangzhou city.

Unexpectedly, when he first came to Yangzhou City, his whereabouts were leaked for unknown reasons. He was assassinated on the waterway outside Yangzhou City before landing. Fortunately, he was not injured. Zhu Rui, the prince, covered them and fled to Yushifu.

Fearing that the goal would be too large due to too many people, the fourth prince did not bring many people, but only selected more than a dozen elites and his chief guards. At this time, the two shadow guards showed up and said that the emperor wanted them to help the fourth prince, and asked the fourth prince to bring the seventeenth prince with him, which they called "long insight".

The seventeenth prince, Zhu Ruina, was playing around in the imperial garden in Japan. He overheard that the fourth prince and his confidants were going to Yangzhou, so the seventeenth prince became interested, and pretended to be a little eunuch in the palace, and went out with his entourage. However, the seventeenth prince hid in Tibet because of his stature, but no one found him.

Although it was discovered in the palace, it was quickly reported to the emperor, but the seventeenth prince, as the emperor's most beloved youngest son, had already been reported to the emperor by the hidden guards. Wei and him help him cover.

In this dynasty, the emperor is the country that will be conquered immediately. The current emperor also went to the north and south with the emperor when he was four or five years old. His elder brothers are also the generals under the emperor. This throne cannot fall on the head of the current emperor, because he is not the most outstanding prince, but he is the oldest among the living princes.Therefore, in his eyes, the seventeenth prince is not out of line, but a little "little capricious".

That day when Ruhai just returned home from the yamen, a confidant came to whisper to him, so Ruhai didn't even take off his official uniform, and went directly to the study without having time to change his clothes.In the study, the fourth prince sat behind the desk, while the seventeenth prince stood listlessly aside.

After Ruhai entered the study room, he made a big salute, and did not get up until the fourth prince finished reading the imperial decree.He also greeted the four princes and the seventeen princes separately.

Ru Hai took a quick look at the Fourth Prince, only to feel that he was serious and seemed a little too serious.For someone who is just in his twenties, he is a bit too demanding of himself.

The seventeenth prince was a bit naughty, and he was peeking at Ruhai. Although he seemed to have been severely scolded by the fourth prince just now, he still did not change his naughty nature, as if he was used to it.For a moment, Ruhai thought of Daiyu, who was younger than him, and his newborn son, and his expression softened.

The fourth prince stayed at Ru Hai's house for two days, discussing some plans, and Ru Hai handed over to the fourth prince some evidence of corruption collected in the Jiangnan officialdom in the past two years, most of which were some ledgers.

Because the seventeenth prince was assassinated last time and saw blood, he was a little frightened and settled down for a few days, but after a few days, he put those things behind him. After all, what kind of private affairs in the palace Can't compare to assassination?

So he clamored to go out to play in Yangzhou, the fourth prince was coaxing and threatening, but the seventeenth prince refused to accept it, and the fourth prince was so troubled that he had no choice but to take the opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole, so he discussed with Ruhai about his relationship with Ruhai. The seventeenth prince pretended to be Daiyu's maid, and went to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple outside the city to avoid the rumors, and then asked one of the secret guards who could change his appearance to pretend to be the fourth prince, and together with Ruhai pretended to investigate corruption on the bright side Corruption and assassination.

In order to pretend that nothing happened, Ruhai asked Shi Yin to discuss secretly. Since Shi Yin gave Ruhai advice last time, Ruhai had to bring some things back to discuss with Shi Yin from time to time. However, Shi Yin's suggestions are always of great benefit to Ru Hai, and Shi Yin never leaked anything, and later discussed with Shi Yin on more and more important matters, as if he regarded Shi Yin as his aide.

Of course, it is impossible for Yinglian and Daiyu to be in danger, and they have not told Yinglian and Daiyu their plan, so Yinglian and Daiyu are not the two people on the carriage. Shi and Jia Min took the Zhuangzi who had recently opened Yiquan Hot Spring outside Shiyin City to play.

The group of them left the city quietly last night. Yinglian and Jia Min guessed something, so they left without asking any further questions.

Therefore, what Liu Xianglian saw was not the real Yinglian and Daiyu, but someone else pretending to be her.It's a pity that he still followed for half a day.

But he was very shy. After leaving the city, he walked for a while before he stepped forward and stopped Yinglian's carriage, but he scared the fourth and seventeenth princes in the carriage to the brim, but he stammered After talking for a long time, I said some incomprehensible words of thanks, and then said that I was going back to Beijing soon, and I came to bid farewell to Yinglian.He also presented some gifts to the groom who was driving the carriage, and without waiting for Yinglian to reply, he rode back to the city, leaving only the fourth and seventeenth princes and a group of guards and hidden guards in the carriage looking at each other.

After the fourth prince told Ru Hai about this matter, Ru Hai told Shi Yin again, which made Shi Yin feel better. His daughter was still so young, so other people were already thinking about it.

On the other hand, Ruhai led the fake fourth prince to investigate corruption and assassination cases with great fanfare in Yangzhou City. On the other hand, the fourth prince brought the seventeenth prince to live in Wanfo Temple pretending to be pilgrims. The fourth prince wrote another letter to the capital. The urgent secret letter attached the evidence collected by Ruhai.He also asked the guards around him to pretend to be ordinary citizens and wander around the homes of important officials in Yangzhou City to observe the situation and see if there was any rush to deal with the evidence.

On the third day, some people couldn't hold back, and the one who couldn't hold back was the Zhen family who was in charge of weaving.The Zhen family borrowed a lot of money from the national treasury because of the two pick-ups. The Holy Majesty asked the Zhen family to be re-elected as the salt inspection censor for two consecutive terms, in order to let them return the money to the national treasury quickly. The empress is in the palace, this is the honor and favor given to them, she didn't take the matter of paying back the money to her heart, but she was greedy with a lot of money.Most of the Holy Majesty's investigation into the Jiangnan corruption case this time is to investigate the Zhen family.

Therefore, the fourth prince called the two shadow guards sent by the two saints and told them to keep an eye on the Zhen family and wait for the opportunity to get evidence.

In the middle of the night, the shadow guards who were squatting found that the big housekeeper of the Zhen family was sneaking out of the house with something in his arms, so he followed him closely, and when he reached a place where no one was around, he knocked him unconscious. The stolen goods were taken before the fourth prince. The fourth prince found out that this was the account book of Jiangnan officialdom and the Zhen family's bribery and the Zhen family's bribery to the Beijing officials. The Zhen family wanted to threaten other officials with this, but in the end they moved He shot himself in the foot with a stone, and finally became the ironclad evidence for convicting them of ransacking their family and exterminating their clan.

This Zhen family is also stupid, it is fine to destroy this account book in the study, who knows that such an important item of his is handed over to the housekeeper for safekeeping on weekdays.This time, he also ordered the housekeeper to do it.In this way, the fourth prince actually took advantage of it.

The fourth prince got the account book and witness card butler, so he traveled by land and water overnight to the capital day and night. After walking for half a month, he arrived in the capital. When he came back, he didn't have time to freshen up, so he rushed to the palace to report the matter today.After reading the ledger and hearing the butler's confession, Long Yan was furious for a while, and was about to ransack the house.

The Zhen family knew that the situation was over when the housekeeper arrived, so they had to ask someone to send a message to the palace, hoping that the two concubines Zhen would blow the pillow wind.But they were all dismissed by the two Concubines Zhen. They were just offshoots, both of their parents died. They were adopted by the direct branch, and they were sent to the palace as the young lady of the direct branch, and sent to that shady place. The grace of upbringing, but they have already repaid it over the years.When the family was prosperous, no one cared about their hardships in the palace, they only wanted to enjoy their glory, and when the family was defeated, they wanted to turn the tide by themselves, how could that be possible?What's more, today's sage doesn't like the harem to interfere in politics the most. If he dares to make false statements about political affairs, he probably won't do well.They all stood by and watched.

All of a sudden, the Zhen family was at the end of their rope.When the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, many officials could not protect themselves.

The four princes of the last generation also came to Jiangnan to investigate corruption cases, but that time Lin Ruhai failed to break into the Yangzhou officialdom and did not obtain any effective information, but without the cooperation and care of Shi Yin, Ruhai and the four princes He didn't act in that play, so the purge of the officialdom in the previous life was a lot of noise, and the evidence obtained was not enough. He also warned the Zhen family, but there was nothing he could do.In the future, the Zhen family will not be truly pulled down until the fourth prince becomes the new emperor.

In this life, the Zhen family was beaten up more than ten years earlier, which made the Holy Majesty pay some attention to this son who is usually unpleasant.

The author has something to say:

The Zhen family arrived early, will the Jia family be far behind?
