Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 44 years

two room camp

In the morning, Liang Jiugong led the little eunuch who brought meals into the imperial tent, and Lord Kangxi was wearing his clothes, leaning on the soft couch to read the booklet.

"Oh, Long Live Lord, why did you work so early?" Liang Jiugong bowed and offered hot tea.

Lord Kangxi took it, sighed lightly, and put the notes on the case, "many of the notes in the governor's mansions around the country are pleading for Yinreng. Most of the royal family members also played euphemistically, asking to save face for the prince."

Liang Jiugong was short, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, "The prince made a mistake first, and the Long Live Lord has issued an order for detention and education. The East Palace has not changed, and the courtiers are just expressing their attitudes. Don't worry too much, Your Majesty."

"If only it were so simple." Master Kangxi glanced at Liang Jiugong, lowered his head and sipped his tea, "How is Yinfeng doing these past few days?"

"Prince, everything is as usual." Liang Jiugong lowered his head, "It's just that he eats less during the day and doesn't sleep well at night, so he is inevitably haggard."

Lord Kangxi put down the tea bowl and sighed, "If you don't tell me, I will know. Yinfeng was ordered to guard Yinfeng, so he will not treat each other with courtesy..."

Liang Jiugong pursed his lips, lowered his head, and did not say yes or no.

Lord Kangxi supported the buttress and stood up, walked to the table with his hands behind his back, and was silent for a while, "Forget it, I lived in Reindeer Slope for a while, and Yinfeng must have restrained himself, so you can pass the decree on for me—"

"Your Majesty," the guard Aoge leaned in and interrupted Lord Kangxi, "The King of Zhijun is asking for an audience, saying that he has something important to report."

"I'm negligent, please punish Huang Ama," Zhijun Wang bowed his hands and knelt in front of Lord Kangxi, "I didn't notice for a while, but last night the thieves took advantage of it and rescued a prisoner."

Lord Kangxi raised his eyebrows slightly, and leaned back in his chair, "What's going on?"

"Return to Emperor Ama," Zhijun Wang leaned down and explained in detail, "The person imprisoned in the prison car was originally a former slave of Yuqing Palace, but because Emperor Ama ordered that the crown prince's staff should not be pursued, the minister wanted to return to the capital. After releasing these servants, they did not arrange more guards to guard them strictly. Unexpectedly, someone pried open a prison van last night, rescued a eunuch, and killed two guards guarding it."

"Eunuch?" Kangxi frowned, "What eunuch?"

King Zhijun raised his head, pursed his lips and said, "It's an eunuch named Lin Chu."

"Lin Chu..." Liang Jiugong bent down from the side and said, "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, this Lin Chu is the close eunuch of His Highness the Crown Prince, and he has been serving the Crown Prince for the past few years."

King Zhijun looked at Lord Kangxi's expression, lowered his head and said, "It's all because of the improper arrangement by the minister. A few days ago, the crown prince had an argument with the minister because the people who served him were all faces. But this Lin Chu is always the most The crown prince values ​​it. If I had known this, I should have complied with the crown prince's request and sent this slave back to the crown prince."

"Yinfeng is still in detention, so of course he can't let his old slaves take care of him." Lord Kangxi stared down at the table with a confused expression, "I can't blame you for this."

"Thank you, Emperor Ama Kuanren," the king of Zhijun bowed and saluted, "I will send people to follow up and investigate, and I will definitely catch this group of thieves. In addition, my minister is worried that Huangpi's assassination is related to this case. If there are people with ulterior motives, it will be difficult to guarantee Huang Ama's safety. My minister implores Huang Ama to issue an order to order the defenders from all over the place to escort the holy car back to Luan."

"Your worry is justified, and I will arrange it myself." Master Kangxi nodded and sighed softly, "You can continue to take care of Yinfeng's place, and the people in the prison car don't have to be released. They will be locked up after returning to Beijing." Let’s talk about the Punishment Department.”

"Yes, my son is taking orders," Zhijun Wang leaned over, and the corners of his mouth curled up secretly.

"Your Majesty..." Seeing King Zhijun retreating, Liang Jiugong carefully served tea, but was swept away by Lord Kangxi.

"The emperor calm down," the slave in the tent knelt on the ground.

Lord Kangxi took a deep breath, and threw the few notebooks on the case aside, "I have read the history of books, and I am always on guard. I never let outside women enter or leave the palace, and I never let good boys accompany me around. To this day , but the crown prince behaves like this, which really disappoints me."

Liang Jiugong frowned slightly, leaned down and said, "Your Majesty, it may not be the prince who did it. The prince is surrounded by guards and guards, and all the servants who accompany him are all detained—"

"There are always those who are daring," Kangxi interrupted Liang Jiugong, "Since those rebellious slaves in Yuqing Palace died in prison, Yinfeng has never made me feel at ease for a moment. So many years have passed, no matter how I discipline him , he still hasn't improved at all..."

From day to noon, a team of cavalry passed Luanjia's army and went to the official road.

"Brother, we're entering Rehe territory," a burly young man rode up to Xie Qing's side.

Xie Qing narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, "Well, hurry up and don't make Su Caidong wait too long."

"Brother, Huzi doesn't understand." The young man frowned and reined in the horse. "Our cavalry team is doing well. Why do you cooperate with that Su? The Shengjing leather business has grown so much. The one surnamed Su is just getting started, who knows how much money he can earn in the future? The 800 taels of silver is still earned by the eldest brother, and our entire cavalry team has been locked up in the end."

"Where are you talking so much nonsense?" Xie Qing glared at Huzi, "If I want to be like you, I only care about the few acres of land under my nose. Our cavalry has long been swallowed up."

Huzi scratched the back of his head and laughed a few times.

Xie Qing sighed, and swayed with the horse's hoof, "That Su Caidong lives in the village of Sibeile in the capital, and the village head Mu Ercha didn't even dare to sit when he saw him. Last time, I went to the yard where he lived, and the guards The people here are all real swords and swords. The furnishings in the room and the utensils used are quite exquisite and exquisite. Such a person is by no means an ordinary slave, and behind him is the real prince Baylor."

"Then," Hu Zi babbled, pulled down the water bottle and took a sip, "Are we also working for Lord Baylor now?"

Xie Qing chuckled and shook his head, "If you want to do things for Prince Baylor, you don't have to be Su Caidong. There are quite a few people in Shengjing who are related to the royal relatives. It's just that this Su Caidong and It's different for other people. He is obviously a slave, but he doesn't have a low-brow and pleasing temperament. He really looks like a businessman, with eyes full of shrewd calculations, and his conversation is quite frank. With such a If we cooperate with each other, I believe that one day, we will be able to earn a pot full of gold leaf, and we will be able to gain a foothold in the capital and at the foot of the emperor."

"Brother," the servant who was walking by the side of the road suddenly ran up to Xie Qing's horse, "There are people in the grass!"

Beijing, Siye Mansion

Fu Jin leaned on the couch, his face was abnormally pale as he didn't go out on weekdays, a slightly wrinkled letter was placed on the kang table, trembling slightly with a light sigh.

Shi Yao brought hot tea to Fujin's hand, stuffed the letter back into the envelope, and put it away carefully.

"What is Lord Baylor busy with these days?" Fujin looked out of the window with a cold voice.

Shi Yao's eyes lit up, she lowered her head and said, "Lord Baylor was ordered by the emperor to assist in government affairs, and these days he handles political affairs in the cabinet."

"Then how did Zhaojia's Enchuo come into the mansion suddenly?" Fujin frowned slightly, "Master Baylor recruited him?"

"Your servant doesn't know either." Shi Yao pursed her lips, "It's just that our Lord Baylor has been valued by the emperor recently, assisting in government affairs, and many courtiers came to visit. The Zhaojia family was originally Lord Belle's haha ​​pearl, in our house It makes sense to walk."

Fujin took a deep breath, and leaned on the soft cushion, "The brothers in the family think that I am in the pain of bereavement, which has delayed Jiahui's future, and now I let a stranger get the favor of Lord Baylor, and the letters I write are full of accusations. .”

"Master, don't think too much," Shiyao took a step forward, and said in a low voice, "Master and the others are also worried about the master's health. Brother Honghui has been away for so long, and you have been unable to cheer up. If the master and wife are still alive If so, you must be worried.”

Fujin pressed his forehead with one hand, and furrowed his brows. After a long silence, he said in a hoarse voice, "Call Mrs. Li and Mrs. Nian over here."

Imperial Palace, outside the upper study

The eighth elder brother led He Zhuo up the steps, just as the fourth elder brother led Zhang Tingyu out.

"Fourth brother," Yinhu bowed slightly, and bowed to the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother glanced at Yinhu, didn't want to talk to him, and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the eighth elder brother.

"Fourth brother, since Ling Pu is about to be killed, I would like to ask fourth brother to express my condolences and comfort my nephew's soul in heaven."

The fourth elder brother stopped in his tracks, narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned to look at the eighth elder brother. An invisible chill swayed between the two of them.

The fourth elder brother raised the corner of his mouth, Yinhu was a little taken aback, but his arm was thrown aside abruptly, and he also took two steps back.

He Zhuo frowned, stepped forward and said, "The forbidden area of ​​the palace gate, please pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't try to raise a wall."

The fourth elder brother looked at He Zhuo, and chuckled, "Editor He is also one of the rare learned people, following such a master, he is really blinded by his knowledge."

"Myna," a clear voice sounded from the side, the fourteenth elder brother trotted all the way to the steps, his expression changed when he saw the fourth elder brother, and he lowered his voice, "fourth elder brother."

The fourth elder brother glanced at Yinti, but didn't respond.

Yinhu sighed softly, patted the fourteenth elder brother on the shoulder, stepped forward and said, "The eighth brother knows that the fourth brother is bitter about the lenient punishment of Ling Pu's subordinates. But before that, Huang Ama's decree, The fourth brother also saw it. The second brother made a mistake first, and Huang Ama didn't want to pursue the subordinates in the court. Lingpu's here is about internal affairs, and the eighth brother also wants to work together with Huang Ama to show the benevolence and righteousness of the royal family. If the elder brother complains in his heart, he can vent it to the younger brother as much as he can, or go up to participate in impeachment, and Yinhu is willing to bear it all."

"Myna," Yinti frowned, tugged at Ba Ge's arm, turned to look at Si Ge as if he wanted to say something, but when he touched Si Ge's eyes, he could barely swallow it.

"Babeile forgive me," Zhang Tingyu stepped forward and bowed down, "I don't know if Zhang Tingyu should say a few words or not."

"Master Zhang, please tell me," Yinhu helped Zhang Tingyu up with one hand, with a gentle expression on his face.

"Xie Babeile," Zhang Tingyu curled his lips, "in my humble opinion, the case of Ling Pu is not the same as the Holy One's forgiveness of the crown prince's staff. Didn't Babeile know that the prince's neighbor Geerfen, A Jintai and others all He was executed and exiled. The so-called courtiers are just some courtiers who were forced by the situation, vain and obedient. They have never committed any real crimes, so they are not responsible for major crimes. Your majesty forgives them, so that they don't have to worry all day long, and it is also for the stability of the government affairs in the court. But this is not the case with the criminal ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They embezzled ICBC, used their power for personal gain, and framed the emperor's heir. They have been detained so far. Unite with the Holy One."

Yinhu frowned, looked at He Zhuo a few times, but didn't speak yet.

The fourth elder brother smiled slightly and said, "Why should Heng Chen abandon this tongue? Ling Pu was killed, the prisoner who was subordinate to the prison, the exile who was exiled, the eighth brother is so kind and compassionate, can we still deal with it now?"

After finishing speaking, the fourth elder brother glanced at Yinti, his voice was cold, "It's just that Ben Belle really doesn't know that the eighth brother treats criminals with kindness and righteousness so far, but treats the elder brother's death as nothing. This is of the same heart and one mind, I don't know if Huang Ama Appreciate it?"

"Fourth brother," the fourth elder brother turned to leave, and the eighth elder brother called in vain, with a rather embarrassed face.

Yinti looked at the fourth brother who was going away, then looked back at Babeile, and after thinking for a while, he lowered his head and said, "Brother, you are busy, my brother has to leave first."

Outside the pass, Luanjia stationed at Sunhe.

Liang Jiugong brought people to deliver soup and medicine for the prince to nourish his health, and mentioned the missing Lin Chu by the way.

"Xiao Chuzi was robbed?" The prince stared at Liang Jiugong in disbelief, his eyes widened in astonishment.

Liang Jiugong waved away the young eunuchs who were following him, lowered his body and said, "It happened last night, and two guards were killed. The king of Zhijun asked the emperor for his crime this morning, and sent people to investigate everywhere."

The prince smiled wryly, and slowly dropped his hand from the low table, his body leaning against the wall became weaker, "It's just a eunuch, but Brother Lao has worked hard..."

"Your Highness," Liang Jiugong suppressed his voice, "Isn't it true that His Highness sent someone to save Lin Chu?"

The prince raised his head and glanced at Liang Jiugong, with a bitter smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth, "Are you so skeptical, Huang Ama? Since you believe that the palace is powerful, why bother to send someone to deliver medicine to me?"

"Your Highness, now is not the time to hold on." Liang Jiugong frowned and bowed, "You must know that since the 36th year, the emperor has disposed of the dining room Ren Huala, the tea house Ren Yatou, and Haha Zhuzi De in Yuqing Palace. -"

"Eunuch Liang," Yinreng interrupted Liang Jiugong's words with a loud voice, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "The deceased is dead, please leave him some peace, Eunuch Liang."

Liang Jiugong pursed his lips, but did not speak again.

Yinfeng took two deep breaths, picked up the medicine bowl and took a sip, "Xiao Chuzi, I really didn't save him... He is also a poor man, just because he followed me... I also ask Eunuch Liang to look at his past affection." Come on, leave some road money for him, and don't let him be bullied after he dies."

"Yes, don't worry, Your Highness," Liang Jiugong bowed down and bowed to the prince.

At night, the guards changed in front of the prince's tent, a black figure nodded to the guards, and stepped into the tent.

The prince sat on the ground, and there was still an empty medicine bowl on the low table in front of him.

"Your Highness, Du Lei is incompetent. He searched outside for a day, but he still couldn't find Eunuch Lin," Hei Ying knelt down in front of the prince.

Holding the medicine bowl in one hand, the crown prince said in a hoarse voice, "I don't blame you, it's the hall's fault..."

"Your Highness," Du Lei looked up at the prince in the shadows, "Master Tuohe Qi, I have contacted Geng E, Qi Shiwu and other lords, as long as I return to Beijing, I will rescue the prince as soon as possible."

Yinreng shook his head, his voice sank, "No hurry, no hurry, there are still many good shows to watch after returning to Beijing, let them stay calm and don't be impatient."

Du Lei frowned in puzzlement, and a piercing smile and the sound of the broken medicine bowl resounded suddenly in the darkness.

The prince's hands were stained with blood, but he didn't seem to notice it. He just stared at the moon hanging in the sky outside the window, and said in an extremely cold voice, "Yinyi, you and I will never die!"

In an ordinary residential house in Rehe, Su Wei squatted under the window, listening to the suppressed screams in the house, he felt goose bumps all over his body.

Xie Qing rubbed his forehead, frowned and said, "I don't know how this man did it. Both his legs were broken and his body was scarred. He was able to climb all the way from the bottom of the hill to the side of the official road. The porters found him At that time, people were still awake, swallowing the green grass desperately, stronger than the hunger and red-eyed wolf cubs in the mountains."

Su Wei sighed, feeling uneasy in his heart, "This man is not an ordinary person. After the bone is spliced, he will be sent to Shengjing first. How to arrange it, I will make a decision after I ask the master. Tell your subordinates People, you must keep your mouth shut, if it leaks out, it won't be worth a few lives."

Xie Qing's neck felt cold, and he nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Su Caidong, we know the seriousness, there are old and young in the family, this kind of thing will not be said with a knife resting on the neck."

Su Wei nodded, stood up and looked through the window. It happened that the doctor had connected the leg bone and waved to Su Wei.

"What's the matter, doctor?" Su Wei walked into the room, Lin Chu was already in a coma, with cold sweat as if he had just been fished out of the water.

The doctor shook his head and sighed, "The injury to this leg is too severe. Even if the bones are spliced, it will be difficult to heal. Now, we can only take one step at a time. The injuries in other places are not fatal. However, there are too many wounds, and if there is bleeding and festering, it will be life-threatening."

"I understand, thank you doctor," Su Wei bowed his head, "Dr. Lao has been living here in the past few days, and the amount of consultation fee is not a problem. I also ask the doctor to heal him."

Ku Kui entered the room holding two silver ingots, the doctor was taken aback for a moment, and then two guards with knives stepped over the threshold, "Doctor, please."

The doctor who was attending the clinic was left behind by both soft and hard methods, and Su Wei walked to the bedside, and Xiaoyingzi was changing the wet bedding and pillow inside and out.

"Master, isn't this the Eunuch Lin next to the prince? How could it be like this?" Xiaoyingzi frowned, with a bitter expression on his face, "We eunuchs are also human beings. If we commit a crime, we will die. Why bother to torture people like this? .”

Su Wei patted Xiaoyingzi on the head, "You still treat eunuchs as human beings because we follow a good master. Lin Chu also has a hard life, and I'm afraid it's for the prince to survive like this. I don't know what happened after this incident. How much trouble will there be?"
