Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 48 years

July [-], Prince Yong's Mansion

In Xipei Hospital, Imperial Physician Cheng was taking Shiyue's pulse, and Xu'er trotted all the way, leading Su Wei into the door.

"My lord, Eunuch Su is here!" Xu'er opened the door curtain, her face couldn't hide her joy.

Shiyue propped herself up, her eyes brightened in an instant, and Cheng Bin's pulse-beating hand paused slightly, Shiyue had already retracted her wrist, put on her clothes and got out of bed, "Why are you here at this time? It's all because Xu'er is disobedient , I know you are busy and don't want Xu'er to disturb you."

Su Wei entered the door and immediately noticed Cheng Bin who was carrying the medicine box beside the bed. His expression changed naturally, and he bowed and said to Shiyue, "Although the lord is busy with political affairs in the Ministry of Punishment these days, he is always thinking about the house. Young master's body Not good, I heard what Xuer said today, so the servant will naturally come over to have a look, so I can explain to the lord later."

Shiyue's face was startled, and only then did she remember that there were outsiders around, and she quickly restrained her expression and said, "It's because I'm not up to snuff, always worrying the prince, and I'm bothering Eunuch Su to make another trip..."

Cheng Bin packed up the medicine box, and when he saw the situation, he stepped forward and said, "I will go back and get the medicine for the young master, please take it on time, and I will come back in a few days to ask the young master for pulse."

"It's time for Imperial Physician Cheng," Shiyue nodded slightly, then turned her head and told Xu'er, "Go and see Imperial Physician Cheng."

"Yes," Xu'er blessed her body, and lifted the curtain for Cheng Bin. Before Cheng Bin left, he seemed to glance at Su Wei unintentionally, and his hand holding the medicine box tightened slightly.

"How is this Cheng Bin's medical skills?" Seeing the person leaving the hospital, Su Wei and Shiyue sat on both sides of the round table, "Xu'er said that you have been in poor health for the past few days, I think it's better to ask Ding Qi to come and take a look." .”

"No need," Shiyue picked up the teapot and poured tea for Su Wei, "I just had some symptoms of palpitations, nothing serious. A few days ago, the palace was besieged, and later you were taken away by Shuntian Mansion, so I have nowhere to go Ask, I can only wait in fear. Fortunately, you came back safe and sound, and now seeing that you are well, I will recover more than half of my illness immediately."

"Hey," Su Wei rubbed the back of his head with some embarrassment, "It's just some business matters, and the prince is busy these few days, so I didn't spare time to inform you. Don't worry about me, I will You didn’t suffer any losses. Now that the siege of the mansion has been lifted, you can recuperate with peace of mind. Whatever you want to eat, drink, or use, you can go directly to the library to get it. I will tell them to choose everything when I turn back. for your use."

Shiyue pursed her lips and smiled, and gently wrung her hands together, "I don't lack anything here, so don't make people jealous for me, as long as you remember to talk to me more when you're free."

the sixth day of july

Lord Kangxi approved the memorial of the fourth elder brother and formally closed the case of extortion by Xifuna.

It is true that Changming'er and others of Xifuna's family, together with Sanger and others, blackmailed Xifuna, and they will all be executed in autumn.Xifuna was pardoned from death, and he embezzled 7000 taels of silver from the treasury and pursued it to become an official.

Li Jinzhong, the eunuch of Gushan Beizi Yinyu, Deng Zhen and Yang Maosheng, the eunuchs of Durodon County Wang Yinyu, Tao Guotai and Wang Guozhu, the eunuchs of the fifteenth son of the emperor Yinlu, Cao Guide, the eunuchs of Yinlu, the sixteenth son of the emperor, Tao Jinxiao, Su Guoyong, the eunuch of the clothing store, and others interrogate one by one. Although the blackmail is all false, but as a eunuch, he interferes in foreign affairs and instigates the younger brother to act recklessly.

Prince He Shuocheng's subordinates Mingtu and Tu Bahai, Gushan Beizi Yinzhen's subordinates often have, Gushan Beizi Yinti's subordinates Yadai Daerbu, Qishi Erluo and Xifuna confront each other, and there is no There is no need to discuss the facts of blackmail.

Grace Garden

The eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother gathered in the study room, and the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother did not look very good.

The eighth elder brother waved away the serving servants, sighed softly, "Don't be too angry, you two, this time is also because the eighth elder brother didn't think carefully—"

"It's none of my elder brother's business," Yinji interrupted his eighth elder brother, "it's all about that donkey in Prince Yong's mansion, who acts like a dog, and fears that the world will not be chaotic! So is Huang Ama, so I shouldn't let him go." Let him stay with the elder brother and the second elder brother!"

"Okay," the eighth elder brother poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yin, "Since the fourth brother was ordered by Huang Ama to investigate the Xifuna case, he has to put on a show. Every day he comes to search and inquire, but If you want to make things difficult for us, why bother to be as knowledgeable as him? Now, Huang Ama has already sentenced those slaves to death, and if the fourth brother wants to make a fuss, there is no real reason. Chance."

"It's not just the fourth brother's problem," Brother Jiu said while playing with the teacup, "Although the Ministry of Criminal Justice has pushed all the charges of extortion to Xifuna's family and the gangsters involved in the case, but In order to give an explanation to the ministers, Huang Ama dealt with all the eunuchs we sent out by saying that he interfered in foreign affairs. Yinqi and I are fine, but Xiao Shiwu and Xiao Shiliu haven't built a mansion yet, and they broke down two big eunuchs in a row. The eunuch, being publicly reprimanded by Huang Ama, I'm afraid he will have a lot of complaints about us. The last time I was punished to kneel in the Changchun Garden, the third brother was openly and secretly teasing mynah. At that time, I just looked at Yinyu and Yinlu They don't look right."

"I had expected this, so you don't have to worry too much. It's just two children, so it's okay to lose your temper." Eighth Brother lowered his head and rolled up his sleeves. "Now, what I'm most worried about is the situation behind Shifuna's back. There are other people. If there is no pleading for serious crimes such as the theft of treasury silver, how could Huang Ama just let it go? He instigated Xifuna to sue the imperial court, implicated all the princes, and finally dealt with it lightly , only a few eunuchs were folded in. Who is this person, and what is the purpose of doing these things? I really can't figure it out."

Brother Jiu rolled his eyes slightly, and tapped the teacup on the table lightly, "Although there are many people involved in the blackmail of Shifuna, we are also extremely careful. It stands to reason that apart from the few brothers involved, there should be no Outsiders know. Then, according to myna's deduction, this person is well-versed in the inside story and able to grasp Shifuna's weakness, and ninety-nine percent of them are one of us."

The tenth elder brother was still a little confused. After listening to the ninth elder brother, it took a long time to react and said, "It is reasonable for Huang Ama to take the eunuch's knife this time, but she just instigated the little elder brother to do this recklessly, which not only aggravated the eunuch. This crime also slapped our brother in the face. No matter how the Ministry of punishment excuses him, he was deceived by the eunuch, and he can't escape the bad hat. However, the third brother and the old fourteen only used two disciples, I didn’t send eunuchs to do things, but in the end they left everything behind. This matter, I thought, how strange it is!”

The room fell silent for a moment, the speaker had no intention of listening, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were more or less suspicious of the third elder brother, but in the eighth elder brother's heart, no matter what, he couldn't get around the old fourteen.

"Master Baylor!" Rong Ping trotted all the way into the door, carefully glanced at Brother Nine and Elder Brother Ten, and then leaned over to report, "Master Nine and Lord Ten have sent people from their houses, saying that they are from the Ministry of Punishment. According to Prince Yong's words, we will deal with a few eunuchs today, and let the masters go to the Ministry of Punishment to watch their punishment."

"What?" Yinbi frowned, slapped the table and stood up, "Who does he think he is? He really used chicken feathers as arrows—"

"Yinyu!" Brother Nine interrupted Brother Ten, and said in a low voice, "Fourth Brother was ordered by Emperor Ama to handle this matter, so be careful what you say!"

After the eighth elder brother glanced at the tenth elder brother, he waved his hand at Rongping, and Rongping bowed down.

"Brother, I can't let the fourth brother mess around with this matter anymore," the ninth elder brother turned to the eighth elder brother and said, "It's okay for our brothers to be wronged a little, I'm afraid it's just those ministers in the court who see the wind. The matter of the ceremony finally extinguished Fourth Brother Mie's arrogance. Right now, if we retreat again, the previous efforts may be in vain."

"That's right," Elder Brother Shi patted the table angrily and said, "Those who didn't know thought we were afraid of him, didn't he just rely on Huang Ama's words? Why did he go to the execution ground to watch the sentence? It was clearly him A fox pretends to be a tiger!"

The eighth elder brother supported his forehead with one hand, and after a while, he let out his breath slowly, "Let the concierge prepare the car, and I will go with you!"

Inside the Ministry of Punishments

"However, as an eunuch, he interferes in foreign affairs and instigates the younger elder brother to act recklessly, which is extremely vicious, and they are all determined..." Looking at the reply on the memorial, the fourth elder brother suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart.

"Master," Zhang Bao bowed and walked into the door, "Prince Cheng and Lord Fourteen have arrived first."

"Well," the fourth elder brother put down the memorial and at the same time suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, "You go to the prison with me first, where is Su Peisheng?"

Zhang Bao pursed his lips, looked at the fourth elder brother, then lowered his head and said, "Eunuch Su just went with the Fourteenth Master."

The fourth elder brother paused, snorted heavily, raised his legs and walked out, Zhang Bao followed behind in a hurry.

Outside the Prison

A row of engraved mahogany chairs are arranged in the corridor according to the rank of title, and the most middle ones are the grand master chairs of the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother.

Elder Fourteen walked into the courtyard gate and sat on the right hand side. Su Wei followed behind. Seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward, squeezed away Lu Rui who was pouring tea, and poured Elder Fourteen a glass of light wine by himself.

"My servant heard that the Fourteenth Lord doesn't like tea, so he specially prepared some newly brewed Jiuqu. The newly buried ones have just tasted like wine, and you can't drink it. Try it."

Su Wei handed the wine glass to Fourteenth Brother, Fourteenth Brother looked at him sideways, and reached out to take it, "The Ministry of Punishment has confirmed that the two people under me are not extorting. Fourth Brother will not let go People didn't say anything, but they called me and my third brother to watch the sentence with great fanfare. Such an act of embarrassing dignity is not something that Eunuch Su can easily end by toasting a glass of wine."

"Hey, well, how can brothers have overnight grudges?" Su Wei held the jug dog-leggedly, "You also know that our prince took on such an errand, and if we don't do it properly, how can we turn around and ask Long Live Lord?" Confess. This person who is holding you will have to be returned to you sooner or later, even if the Lord Long Live is still alive, our lord has to do a full set of plays, right—”

Su Wei hadn't finished talking about brotherhood and brotherhood, the fourth elder brother had already walked into the courtyard gate, and his slightly frosty eyes swept over Su Wei, and Su Dagong, who was standing behind the Fourteenth Master, stood up. The back of the neck was frozen, "Well, Fourteenth Master, you sit down first, the servant will come to serve you later."

"The ninth and tenth brothers haven't come yet, so I'll trouble the third elder brother to wait a little longer," the fourth elder brother walked up to the third elder brother and sat down. Su Wei slid by the wall and stood behind the fourth elder brother in a despondent manner.

"I'm not in a hurry." Elder Brother San leaned on the back of the chair, playing with an exquisite folding fan in his hand, "I've stayed in the mansion for a long time, and it's a pleasure to come out to watch a good show. It's just the people who are worried about acting." , the acting was too fake, and in the end, he ruined his reputation, lost his reputation and lost his fortune."

"Third brother, don't worry." The fourth elder brother picked up the tea bowl and scraped off the tea dust, "Since this stage is dared to be set up, it will take three to five years of real skill. What's more, not all plays in this world can be smashed, We have to see who is playing this drama."

Footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate, Xiaoyingzi stepped into the courtyard first, leaned over to the fourth elder brother and said, "My lord, Lord Ninth and Master Ten are here. Also, Lord Eighth is here too."

"Hehe," before the fourth elder brother could say anything, the third elder brother grasped the handle of the fan and said, "Another actor is here, and this play is really getting more and more exciting today."

The fourth elder brother ignored the third elder brother's words, and directly instructed Xiaoyingzi, "Go and add a chair to the eighth elder brother."

"Yes," Xiaoyingzi followed the order, and Su Wei sighed silently with a bitter face.

The three elder brothers walked into the gate together, and cupped their hands at the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother, "Third elder brother, fourth elder brother."

"Lao Ba is free today," the third elder brother said with a twist of his mouth, "We came to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to be punished, and Lao Ba came here to watch the excitement?"

"What did the third elder brother say?" the eighth elder brother turned his gaze to the fourth elder brother, "the Shifuna incident was caused by his family's lawlessness and greed. The third elder brother and the royal brothers were only encumbered by their subordinates, and they have no fault or guilt." How did you say you were punished? Today I heard that the fourth brother called all the brothers to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to watch the punishment. The eighth brother is also very curious, wondering if the third and fourth brothers are going to use this to teach the younger brothers , so I deliberately pushed the errand at hand, and came here with Lao Jiu and Lao Eleven, and I hope that the two brothers will not be disgusted."

"The eighth brother really has a clever mouth," the third elder brother smiled, and turned to look at the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother took a sip of tea silently and put the tea bowl back on the table, "Since you're here, please sit down, it's already noon, don't delay everyone's meal."

"Thank you, Fourth Brother," Eighth Brother bowed again, leading Ninth and Tenth Brothers to their seats.

When the tenth elder brother passed by, he glanced coldly at the fourth elder brother and snorted heavily.

The fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother then went outside the prison, and several eunuchs were pushed by the jailer to kneel in front of the gallows.

The ropes fell, and everyone in front of the gallows began to tremble.

"Master, help me," unknown who was the first to speak out, the prisoners who were still limp suddenly struggled vigorously.

"Forgive me, the slave is wronged!"

"Let me go, I obey orders!"

"My lord! My lord! The slave is working for the county king, and the slave is wronged!"

"You bastard! Shut up, my lord!" Elder Brother Shi, who was sitting leisurely watching the play, became flustered involuntarily when he heard the eunuch Deng Zhen's cry, "Come on, come on, you guys are still waiting!" What are you waiting for, hurry up and execute!"

"Yinyu!" Brother Nine raised his hand to hold Brother Ten's shoulder, while aiming at the eunuch Li Jinzhong who was also struggling in front of the gallows.

The eighth elder brother held the armrest of the chair tightly and looked up at the fourth elder brother. The fourth elder brother was holding a tea bowl and slowly sipping hot tea.

"Fourth brother——" the sixteenth elder brother, whose face was a little pale, was about to speak, but was interrupted by the fourth elder brother.

"Let them shout! When will the shouting be over and when will the execution be executed!" The fourth elder brother slowly leaned back in the chair, and slowly stroked the memorial that the imperial pen had personally approved on the table with one hand, "No fault and no guilt... It seems that there are really people Treat Huang Ama as blind!"

Eighth Brother froze, and the hand holding the chair creaked.

The ninth elder brother turned to look at the eighth elder brother, feeling a chill in his heart. This time, they might have gone the wrong way again.
