Chapter 37 The Crown Prince Washes Ma Fang Ao and Meets His Royal Highness 7

Li Shangde just fastened his trouser belt, and a group of Habayashi soldiers with swords on their waists rushed in.

These Habayashi soldiers did not say a word, each had a division of labor, turned into several groups, and went to each room, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, as if entering a no-man's land.

Li Shangde's face was sallow with anger, his fingers were trembling, he didn't know what to scold, he didn't care about Bai Yudou, whose clothes he had stripped half of his clothes, he pulled the boy over, his voice cracked, and he asked anxiously: "Where's Seventeen?!"

"Hui, Master Hui, His Royal Highness the Seventeenth is at the front..."

Li Shangde threw the boy to the ground and rushed to the front yard.

The Yulin army didn't stop him either.

When Li Shangde came to the front yard and looked around, he almost turned his nose in anger, he saw Yong Chen reclined on his red sandalwood grand master's chair, sipping fragrant tea.

Seeing Li Shangde coming, Yong Chen giggled, took another sip of hot tea, shook his head and sighed: "Good tea, good tea, Mr. Li—you'll have to embezzle a lot of talents for this one-two-one-gold cloud tea." Can you afford it?"

Li Shangde's mind, which was originally stupefied with anger, gradually calmed down, and he tore open his face completely, and said with a sneer: "Let's say that the Seventeenth Master is still a little young, and he doesn't understand the things here. If you are an official, you want to make a fortune. Taking bribes is actually the worst strategy, the best strategy is to instigate the emperor to spend money, as long as the emperor spends a lot of money in your yamen, it will be hard for you not to get rich!"

Yongchen let out an "oh", knowing that he must have more to say.

Sure enough, Li Shangde said again: "The Ministry of Households is the place that manages the collection of money. It has the most money, but the officials of the Ministry of Households may not be the fattest. Throughout the ages, the government officials who spend a lot of money always earn the most. Fat, but a large part of the benefits will be distributed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs... If the Seventeenth Lord is interested in this piece, why not ask the prince's uncle, Mr. Jian Cejian, who has been the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for 20 years..." After the words In other words, this is the biggest corruption of the dynasty.

Yong Chen was noncommittal, just drinking tea, squinting at Li Shangde with a smile.

Li Shangde's heart was on fire, if it weren't for the fact that the front yard was also full of imperial soldiers, he would have been burnt to pieces.

At that moment, the Habayashi army in the backyard came back, took the official seal key and other things, and reported: "Your Highness, I found the things."

Yong Chen glanced at it with a smile, "Keep it well, keep it well—Master Li is so cooperative, he is so cute and sensible."

As he spoke, he swaggered away.

Li Shangde couldn't stop him, just stood where he was, and said with a sneer: "Master Seventeen, you are an important place in the capital, you have violated a big taboo by sending troops without calling. The officials want to join you - not only you, but you came with you today All the Yulin Army, the lower officials are going to join together!"

Yong Chen didn't take it seriously, "Master Li, please go ahead."

Li Shangde shouted from behind him: "The Seventeenth Lord is the son of a dragon and the grandson of a phoenix, the emperor may not impose a severe punishment on you - these Yulin soldiers, but the death penalty is inevitable!"

Yong Chen waved his hand with his back, and didn't even bother to reply.

Outside Li's residence, upon seeing Yong Chen coming out, Lianxi hurriedly stepped forward to report, "Your Highness, the little grandson of the Cai family has arrived in Beijing safely, and Mr. Fang Aofang personally sent him to the Cai family."

Yong Chen asked: "Have you visited it? How was it?"

Lianxi showed an unbearable expression, and said: "It's really pitiful. The nanny took a five-year-old child and escaped from death. Although she has arrived in Beijing, she has already hurt the root, and now she can only continue her life. That young master Cai..." He sighed, "When the city was broken, his parents asked his nanny and several nursing homes to take him out of the city. Those nursing homes died protecting them on the way. Only one nanny took him to hide in a small suburban area. In the village, afraid of being found out by the thieves of the rebel party, they taught him that he was a child of the Wang family at the head of the village, and his name was Wang Aniu."

Listening to Lianxi's words, Yong Chen thought back to the tragic scene when Pingyin County was bloodbathed that day, even though he knew it was a thing of the past, he still couldn't help but feel his heartstrings tense.

But Lianxi said again: "In the end, Young Master Cai was terribly frightened. Now that he's back in Beijing, when he sees someone, he still only says his name is Wang Aniu, and his parents don't dare to recognize him..."

Yong Chen let out a long sigh, sighed in his heart, and then went to Cai's mansion.

When he arrived at Cai's mansion, he met Fang Ao who was about to leave.

As soon as the two met, they both looked at each other.

This was the first time they had met, although they had heard it many times.

Yongchen has long heard that the prince's elder brother had two companions when he was young, one was named Liu, and later he served as a foreign official with his father, but has not returned yet; Excellent every year, it was more than enough to be transferred back to the central government to become a bachelor based on his qualifications, but he asked himself to be a part-time prince to wash his horses - and the prince's brother who had always been unwilling to concede his talents did not refute him.

When Fang Ao was an official abroad, he heard a lot about the Seventeenth Prince. The rest are fine. This year, he actually heard that the Seventeenth Prince moved into the Yuqing Palace. .

At this moment, Yong Chen saw that Fang Ao was born with a square nose, wide mouth, dignified and upright, which was not the same as the appearance of a celebrity as he had imagined—it turned out that there were such old-fashioned people around the prince's brother.

Fang Ao looked at Yongchen, although he vaguely looked like a teenager, he was still a child, and it was not the same as the adulterer in his imagination - it turned out that he really looked like a "brother".

But in the blink of an eye or two, Yong Chen smiled first and said: "Lord Fang, I have admired you for a long time. I thank you for sending Young Master Cai back to Beijing for this trouble." He bowed to the ground as he spoke.

Fang Ao turned sideways to accept it, and bowed sternly, first begging for peace and saying: "The prince washes the horse, Fang Ao, and has seen His Royal Highness the Seventeenth." Entrusting, it is a matter of the lower official's duty, I dare not take it as a thank-you gift from His Royal Highness the Seventeenth." Saying this, he bowed to the ground.

Yong Chen himself is a master who laughs, scolds and scolds, and has a very strong personality. No matter how serious and rigid a person is, he can often lead him astray—a person like Fang Ao who is unmoved , It's really the first time I met.He couldn't help but glanced at Fang Ao again, and said with a smile: "Since you said that, then I will only thank the prince brother when I look back."

Fang Ao lowered his eyes, said neither arrogant nor humble: "It should be so." He added: "I have to go to Yuqing Palace to answer, if your highness has no other orders, please allow me to retire."

Yong Chen frowned and looked at him, feeling that Fang Ao's aura was very subtle.

He circled around Fang Ao, and suddenly asked, "Did my Highness owe you any money?"

Fang Ao said calmly: "If you go back to His Highness, no."

Seeing that he didn't answer, Yong Chen waved his hand and said, "You go."

When Fang Ao left, Yong Chen stood still at the same spot and asked Lianxi, "How did I offend him?"

Lianxi smiled and said: "Master Fang returned to Beijing for a long-term stay. This is the first time you have seen him - where did you offend him? Besides, you are His Highness, and he is a courtier, so there is nothing to offend. offend."

Yong Chen wondered: "Then he..."

It's hard to express in words, but Fang Ao's tone of voice and expression when he replied, was a bit subtle hostility.

Lianxi already understood, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, are you a silver coin? How can everyone chase you and hold you..."

Yong Chen was speechless, then smiled to himself, and sighed: "It's exactly what you said - I was thinking about it."

He doesn't have the aura of the protagonist, so how can someone be conquered by the "bad spirit" as soon as he sees him?

While talking, Yong Chen has already entered the Cai Mansion.

In a small courtyard with only two entrances, Cai Shiyuan was sitting on a reclining chair in the courtyard, talking to a little boy in front of him. A crutch was placed on the stone bench next to the reclining chair.

The four eunuchs left behind by Yongchen last time were by the side.

Yongchen guessed that the little boy was Cai Shiyuan's grandson, Cai Zeyan.

He walked lightly and walked slowly.

"Grandson, remember, your father was a Jinshi in Yuanshun for 17 years, named Cai Zizhen, and you are his only son. I am your grandfather..." Cai Shiyuan's voice was old and rough, full of sadness.

Cai Zeyan just hid back and shouted: "I don't know, I don't know... My name is Wang A Niu, and my parents are both residents of Wangjiazhuangzi in Pingyin County... My surname is not Cai, and I don't have a grandfather ..."

I don't know what he saw in the city where the thieves washed the city at such a young age that he was so frightened like this.

Cai Shiyuan grabbed his grandson's arms and said sharply: "You remember! Your name is Cai Zeyan, and you are the only blood of our Cai family!"

Cai Zeyan was caught by his arms and couldn't escape, so frightened that he began to cry.

Cai Shiyuan was moved by the crying, startled, slowly let go of his hands, and said hastily: "Don't cry...don't cry...it's because grandpa is too anxious..." He has been strict all his life, whether it is to his son or granddaughter , or to the prince's students, they all have a staid and serious face-now facing such a frightened little grandson, the only child of his dead son, he doesn't know what to do.

Just as Yong Chen was about to go forward, he saw a little girl in plain clothes walking out of the room, it was Cai Hui.

Cai Hui directly held Cai Zeyan's shoulders, forcing him to look up into his eyes, and said forcefully, "Brother, don't cry, I am your elder sister Cai Hui. When you came back, the shoes and socks on your feet The purse in my arms was made for you by myself."

Cai Zeyan stared at her blankly, then suddenly called out, "Sister..."

"Hey..." Cai Hui responded, still holding the younger brother's shoulders, and said loudly: "From now on, I will not only be your elder sister, but also your father and your mother. Don't be afraid, bad guys come You are not in Duzhong, you are a child of our Cai family, not some kind of Wang Aniu. Do you understand?"

Cai Zeyan whispered "hmm".

Cai Shiyuan let out a long sigh, embraced his granddaughter with one hand, and embraced his young grandson with the other, crying like beads of tears.

When their family members got together, Yong Chen saw this place, felt that they shouldn't be disturbed, and quietly retreated out.

Yongchen returned to Yuqing Palace with heavy thoughts all the way. As soon as he stepped into the Dunben Hall, he heard a middle-aged voice in the east study room say: "When we talked about the administration of officials earlier, His Highness also said that the evils of the administration of officials are hard to recover from. It’s not an option for a few young people to rely on blood and courage to forcefully poke at him—why would His Highness want to condone Mr. Li’s house today if His Highness the Seventeenth led soldiers to ransack Mr. Li’s house?”

Hearing the voice, it was Fang Ao.
