June 24, Prince Yong's Mansion

It was almost evening, and a sneaky figure appeared outside the East Courtyard. The strange thing was that the passing guards only glanced at it briefly, and then walked past without turning their eyes.

"Eunuch Su?"

Grandpa Su, who had just slipped into the courtyard against the wall, was startled by a soft call, and only breathed out after seeing who was coming, "It's Big Ge, the servant didn't pay attention for a while."

Mo Yaqi smiled slightly, turned his head and looked in the direction of the study, "I just came out from Ama's place. I heard that you were taken away by the Shuntian Mansion in the morning. I was still worried, but the ban was lifted in the afternoon. Yes. Just now I asked Ama if it was the work of Eunuch Su again."

"How can it be, Big Gege thinks too much of slaves," Su Wei laughed awkwardly, rubbed his hands with some anxiety and said, "Just now Gege mentioned slaves, is the prince very angry?"

"Angry?" Mo Yaqi raised her eyebrows, "I didn't see that Ama was angry, but I just said that Eunuch Su had other things to do, and he should be back at night. After speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and drank a big mouthful of tea. Woolen cloth."

"Drink, drink tea?"

When it's over, it means you're angry, and drinking tea is to suppress the anger!

Su Wei wanted to cry for a while, but he shrugged his head, and lost all his high toes outside, like a ball that deflated in an instant.

Mo Yaqi looked funny, and pinched the handkerchief to suppress the smile on his lips, "By the way, Eunuch Su, Ama said that the flowers in Yuanmingyuan are all in bloom, so I want to invite Huang Mafa to the garden for a banquet. Let me These days, I also follow Fujin to learn how to arrange banquets. At that time, if there is something incomprehensible, Eunuch Su will help me take care of it."

"Oh, don't worry, Big Gege," Su Wei hurriedly returned to normal, cupped his hands at Mo Yaqi and said, "I will definitely send someone to cooperate with Big Gege. If Da Gege has any ideas, just do it."

Mo Yaqi pursed her lips and smiled, bowed her head to Su Wei, and walked out of the East Courtyard holding the maid's arm.

Su Wei watched Mo Yaqi leave, looked up at the sky in a daze for a while, finally let out a long sigh, and resigned to his fate, walked into the fourth elder brother's study.

In the study room, the person behind the long table was standing and practicing big characters, when he heard someone enter the door, he didn't even raise his eyebrows.

Zhang Qilin pouted at Su Wei, and silently retreated outside the room.

Su Wei stepped forward with his head down, and called out "Master" in a low voice.

The fourth elder brother still refused to talk to him, he moved the pen smoothly, and seemed to be very concentrated.

Grandpa Su, who was left hanging out, was bored, and after half a minute of introspection without sincerity, he began to look around. Unfortunately, there was nothing unusual about the things in the house. Grandpa Su patrolled for a week, and finally put his eyes on the fourth elder brother.

Tsk tsk, look at the eyebrows, they are black and bright, look at the bridge of the nose, high and straight, look at the chin, with sharp edges and corners.Hey, after all, I am serving the older child by myself, so I am pleasing to the eye no matter how I look at it.

"Cough!" The person who practiced calligraphy coughed lowly, and the nympho Eunuch Su quickly retracted his gaze, bowing his head as if admitting his mistake.

The fourth elder brother stopped writing, looked at the last ink dot on the whole paper, and was really out of breath.

"I didn't expect Grand Duke Su to remember coming back! I thought that this small Prince Yong's mansion wouldn't be able to accommodate a big Buddha like you!"

"Master, what are you talking about?" Grandpa Su grinned, leaned over to the fourth elder brother, changed the paper and rubbed the ink diligently, and shook his tail vigorously behind him, "It's all It was not good with the company that day, so I just want to get rid of it once and for all, so that there will be no future troubles. You see, there are so many things going up now, why let these small fish and shrimps add to the chaos."

"Huh!" The fourth elder brother snorted heavily, changed a pen and nodded heavily on the paper, "Don't think that you can fool me by saying something nice! You clearly know that Lao Jiu is behind the company that day. Why are you talking about never having future troubles? My grandfather told you a long time ago that I made a mistake about Kari, so there is no need for you to vent your anger on him. If Huang Ama doesn’t get rid of my master’s confinement today, you are really sure that you will be completely safe. Come out from Shuntian Mansion?"

Su Wei stayed where he was for a while, no matter what, he really underestimated that Yang Tai.

Seeing that the fourth elder brother's anger was getting hotter and hotter, Grandpa Su resolutely gave up the dog-legged flattery, and rubbed against someone bit by bit, put his hands on the waist of the person, and put his head on the shoulder , the voice was muffled, "Don't be angry, I made a mistake, I won't dare next time."

"I've heard this word too many times..."

The fourth elder brother turned his head away, but he didn't shake off the person who was on his body. He loosened his hand holding the pen, and finally put it on the pen hill, turned around and said, "Did you suffer a loss?"

Someone with his head buried shook his shoulders imperceptibly, and remained silent for a long time before replying under his breath, "No..."

The fourth elder brother frowned, lifted someone's chin, and saw a face that was holding back a smile that was about to cramp.

"My lord is too kind to you, isn't he!"

"a ha ha ha……"

Grandpa Su couldn't bear it any longer. After laughing so loudly, he covered his hat and turned his head to run away, but was caught by the fourth elder brother, who slapped his butt twice heavily.

The room was noisy for a while, and finally quieted down.

Su Wei sat cross-legged on the couch, wrapped his messy braid around his neck, picked up a piece of pastry from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth.

The fourth elder brother sat across from Su Wei, and leaned on the cushion leisurely, "Dinner will be served soon, so eat less snacks."

"I'll fill my stomach, and Shuntian Mansion doesn't care about the food." Su Wei swallowed the milk shortbread in his mouth, and swallowed half a cup of tea, "I just came back and heard from Da Gege that we are going to prepare a banquet for the Long Live Lord again. Today Master Long Live suddenly released the confinement of our palace, could it be because of this?"

"The banquet is just a pretext, and I must confess my mistakes in the booklet." The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows and glanced at Grandpa Su. "If it wasn't for some daring person who caused the trouble, I wouldn't have thought of solving it in such a hurry."

Eunuch Su touched the back of his head guiltily, smiled awkwardly, and said, "It's not the same when it's resolved. If you come out earlier, you will suffer less. However, I didn't expect that Long Live Lord is quite talkative this time." of."

"Time has changed, things have changed," the fourth elder brother took a sip from the tea bowl that Su Wei had drunk, "The case of blackmailing Shifona requires a prince to preside over it. After all, the courtiers who handle the matter have no idea what is more important. Right now, the third elder brother has folded in by himself, and the fifth and seventh are ignorant of everything. There is no one else but the father and the eighth. Although Huang Ama has doubts about me in the case of Gali, she still has to deal with it. For this kind of thing, Grandpa is more suitable than Old Ba."

Su Wei put his hands in his sleeves, bowed his head and pondered for a long time, and his face became bitter again, "According to what you said, the emperor doesn't intend to lightly reveal this matter? I actually want to borrow money to relieve your restraint." Did you teach the princes involved a lesson?"

"It's blackmailing the courtiers. Although it can't hurt the face of the royal family, it can't be completely ignored. Otherwise, wouldn't it hurt the hearts of the courtiers?" The fourth elder brother let out a breath slowly, turned his head and looked out the window, "This errand , if master can do it well, it will somewhat dispel Huang Ama's suspicion of me!"

"But this is another job to offend people," Su Wei muttered, feeling aggrieved in his heart, let others forget it, the Fourteenth Lord is still involved in it.

June 28, Caixia Garden

Dunjun Wang Yinji, who is also a fallen man in Tianya, also lay down at home for three days because of a knee injury. He got up because he heard that Brother Jiu's business was burned, and rushed to Caixia Garden to visit him. Brother Nine.

Yinzhen was still lying on the couch covered with a blanket, the bruise on her knees had already disappeared, but the anger in her heart was still burning.

"Brother Nine, what's the use of making things difficult for yourself like this?" Yinxi sat on the edge of the couch, playing with the white jade finger in his hand, "If you want me to say, it's better to retaliate generously than to hold the fire in your heart." Don't look at the fact that when I burned Xi Laishun back then, I was given a good lesson by Huang Ama, but we finally vented our anger, and when the fire burned down, I felt much more at ease."

Brother Nine opened his eyes, and glanced at Brother Ten, "You only care about your inner comfort. It was the same in Changchun Garden last time. You were punished a few times and you didn't learn much. This time, Brother Four was relieved." Ground your feet, do you think he won't settle accounts with you?"

"Forget it, who is afraid of him?" Elder Brother Ten snorted, and picked up the tea bowl on the table, "I just can't understand his hypocritical face, just because he is older, he teaches this lesson all day long That. In fact, who knows how many dirty things he hides behind his back!"

While the two were talking, Qin Daoran, the teacher of the ninth elder brother, was ushered in by the attendants. After seeing the ceremony, Qin Daoran lowered his voice and whispered a few words beside the ninth elder brother.

Yinzhen frowned suddenly, his expression was a little uglier than before.

"What happened again?" Elder Brother Ten asked upon seeing this.

"Huang Ama handed over Li Jinzhong and the others to the fourth brother." Brother Jiu clenched the blanket on his body with one hand, "No wonder he is so unscrupulous. It turned out that he set his mind on us."

"Then what should we do? Will Li Jinzhong and the others confess us?" Duke Dun, who was arrogant and conceited just now, was at a loss again, "Xifona is also desperately chasing around, those slaves are still I don’t know if I can control my mouth.”

"What are you worrying about? So what if you confess us?" Brother Nine glared at Brother Ten, who is a strong outsider and a middle-aged man. Shit and pee!"

Elder Brother Ten stood up in confusion, Elder Ninth frowned and remained silent for a while, then suddenly smiled coldly, "Old Ten, you know a lot of different religions, so help Ninth Brother find out the bottom line of Prince Yong's Mansion. We don't care what The government and the opposition government affairs are dedicated to digging out the dirty things in their mansion. Brother Jiu will give you twice as much money as it costs."

"What money are we brothers talking about?" Elder Ten was still a little confused, "However, Brother Four is almost like a monk. There are only a few family members in the mansion, so it is estimated that nothing can be dug out." Bar."

Brother Jiu curled his mouth, picked up the tea bowl on the kang table and took a sip, "If we can't dig it out, let's make some for him!"

June [-]th, Changchun Garden

The fourth elder brother was working in Changchun Garden, and Su Wei led Ku Kui to provide meals for the fourth elder brother. As soon as he left the Chunhui Hall, he saw the head of the respect room and the consultant line.

"Boss Gu," Su Wei saluted first, and the consultant bowed his head with a smile.

"Today is a coincidence. Our family wants to ask Eunuch Su about something. I wonder if Eunuch Su is free right now?"

"Boss Gu can't refuse the invitation," Su Wei handed the food box to Ku Kui, and told him to take the food for the fourth elder brother, and followed the consultant all the way to the sparsely populated Niangniang Temple.

"Grandpa Su must be familiar with the Xifuna case handled by the prince these days." The consultant led Su Wei to sit on the bamboo table in the corridor, "This case involved many internal prisons, and many of them were involved in the case." He is an old man who left the palace, and our family has been criticized by the Long Live Lord for this."

Su Wei's eyebrows twitched, his expression was normal, "I understand the difficulty of Mr. Gu, but this matter is really tricky. Before our prince intervened, the Ministry of Internal Affairs originally removed a group of princes from the list of suspects on the grounds that the investigation had no evidence. It's just that the charges of blackmail of the Xifuna family were confirmed. Unfortunately, the Long Live Lord was obviously not satisfied, so he handed over the matter to our prince. However, both the ruling and opposition parties also understood that although the Long Live Lord wanted to give the courtiers an explanation, but It can't hurt the face of the royal family either. If the master can't move, then only the people below will suffer. Mr. Gu's life is hard, and the younger ones are also trembling."

The corner of the consultant's mouth turned up when he heard the words, "Eunuch Su misunderstood, our family has been the head of the respect room for so many years, and we have never experienced any censure. Besides, the servant who can't serve the master well deserves to be taught a lesson, and he can lose it for the master." Their lives are also their blessing." After finishing speaking, the consultant went to Su Wei's ear and said in a low voice, "What our family is worried about now is not the issue of those scourges. Eunuch Su is always smart, you know A fire at the city gate will harm the fish in the pond?"

Su Wei blinked his eyes and didn't realize it for a while, the advisor Xing sighed, sat back and said, "The scourge of the eunuchs in the previous dynasty has been a thorn in the heart of the court since the first emperor, and Mr. Su can count it this time." ?”

Su Wei shuddered on the spot, swallowed his saliva and said, "Aren't they just a few slaves who take the blame for the master? Long live God doesn't think so much, does he?"

"Three people become a tiger," said the consultant, rubbing his hands together, and tapped on the bamboo table, "The bad thing about this is that the Ministry of Internal Affairs called a few slaves to work for the master and called them eunuchs. Instigate the little elder brother to act recklessly. Even if Long Live Lord knows the truth of the matter in his heart, it is much easier for the eunuch to make profits and instigate the prince than to take the blame for the prince and cover up the truth."

Su Wei took a deep breath. He really didn't think too much about it. He thought that those dishonest eunuchs would be executed if they were executed. If it is light, you will be punished with a board, and if it is serious, you may be killed to make an example to the monkeys.

"Then what is the opinion of Manager Gu?" Su Wei asked in a low voice.

The consultant pursed the corners of his lips and looked at Su Wei very intently, "How much this matter will be involved, actually depends on what Long Live God thinks. All we can do is to minimize the role of internal supervision in this matter , to divert the attention of Lord Long Live. I have to say, if another prince takes over, our family will have to resign ourselves to fate. However, it is Prince Yong who took over the case. How low the impact of this matter can be reduced depends on Look at Su Gonggong's weight in front of Prince Yong."

When Su Wei returned to Chunhui Hall, it was already past lunch time. The fourth elder brother was reading the confession handed in by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. When he saw Su Wei enter the door, he asked casually, "What did the consultant ask you?"

"Ah?" Su Wei was still in a daze, hesitating in his heart, seeing the fourth elder brother looking over, he quickly said, "No, it's nothing, it's just that the eunuchs involved in the case, many of them came out of the palace, he wants to ask the master How are you going to deal with it?"

"How can we deal with it?" the fourth elder brother lowered his head again, "Since he took the blame for the master, can he still live? According to Huang Ama's intention, in addition to blackmailing the courtiers and seeking personal gain, he also needs to convict them of abetting evil. So that the third brother and the others can skim more cleanly."

Su Wei pursed his lips, and walked behind the fourth elder brother. He understood the meaning of the consultant, but he was also afraid of the consultant's words.

The fourth elder brother can shift the focus, fix the charges of these eunuchs on greed for money and seek personal gain, and try to stay away from sensitive issues such as abetting and arrogating power, which can somewhat reduce the attention of others.As long as no one discusses the misfortune of the eunuchs in the previous dynasty, they will be spared the disaster.

However, in the last sentence of the consultant line, did he really ask for something, or did he mean it?

Whether the butcher's knife can fall is still open to debate, but if the master really concealed the disaster of Xiao Qiang for him, can he still hide the relationship between himself and the master from the consultant?
