Seeing Shu Shu's strange movements, Brother Jiu followed him and asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
Shu Shu did not answer, but took a look, found an inconspicuous place behind the washstand, touched it for a while, and then carefully peeled off a piece of wallpaper, revealing the mottled marks underneath.
The smell will be faintly revealed when there are traces of cracks on the wall, peeling off of the wall skin, and traces of moss and mildew.
"Wow! These bastards! It turns out this is a repair! What kind of labor and construction period? It's all just wallpaper?!"
When Brother Jiu saw this, he couldn't help but feel furious and wanted to go out to look for someone.
Shu Shu quickly stopped him: "Sir, don't 'snatch the enemy'!"
Brother Jiu didn't struggle, but he was unconvinced: "The physical evidence is here. Are you afraid of 'snatching the snake'? Can you still run away?"
"If this place is moved and the news spreads to the front, isn't it 'alarming the snake'?"
Shu Shu, on the other hand, was very calm.
You must know that the palace's repairs are not just spending the money as it is allocated. There are inspections and acceptances, and the accounts are written off every year.
Just like corrupting the food and drinks of everyone in the army, this is definitely not the only place.
Otherwise, the diets of Kosatsu and the others yesterday would not have been of the same standard.
Brother Jiu listened and widened his eyes: "If they are all like this, then we have to find a bunch..."
"Take your time, I will take care of it first. It is important to be on the safe side. Only then will the emperor be able to hand over the errands with confidence..."
Shu Shu spoke slowly and softly, feeling excited.
This is true for a small business, but what about other yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
Three major weavings?
If Brother Ninth could really take charge of the investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, would he be able to leave the capital and go out for a walk? !
If there is a chance to go to Jiangnan, it will take two years in three years...
How could Brother Ninth have thought that Shu Shu would think so far ahead?
He thought about the behavior of all the brothers. Except for the fourth elder brother who was irritable in his early years, the others seemed to be quite reliable.
Every time I take on an errand, I can’t say that it’s done perfectly, but it still seems to be done with all my heart.
He had only been out for a long time, and there was really no need for Maomao to be stunned and look unsteady.
"Well, I understand... I won't act rashly. Let's take our time..."
Brother Ninth was very responsive to his advice and his mood was much more stable.
"Do you know how much it costs to repair this place every year?"
Shu Shu asked curiously.
This place is not comparable to Miyun Palace, but I have seen it roughly. It has three spans and five entrances, with a hundred or dozens of rooms.
"Don't say it. It only costs a few hundred taels of silver..."
Brother Jiu replied with a dark face.
How many palaces are there along the way? !
Khan Amma advocates frugality, and every meal is delicious. The money saved goes into the pockets of these dog slaves.
Shu Shu was silent.
The corruption of the Kangxi Dynasty has been deeply recorded in history.
However, according to the information reviewed by the "Textual Research Party", the conclusion reached was that in addition to the corruption of the emperor, it was also related to the imperial party strife caused by the prince's seizure of heir apparent.
Unexpectedly, it was only the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign, the prince was first granted the title, and the pattern of seizing the heir had not yet been formed, but there were already signs of corruption in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Father, master..."
Sun Jin came back at this time, took out two cucumbers and a head of garlic from his sleeve, and told the palace people what they had seen in the kitchen.
The couple looked at each other and were shocked.
This is not greed for money, it is simply a dark heart.
It’s not about grabbing half or most of the share, but directly wiping it out.
Brother Jiu sneered: "I thought they would be greedy for half of the pork, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. What's the point of putting two fans of pork as a display? To prevent me from sending people to check? Does this mean I am a fool?"
"There is no need to be angry, sir. They are all 'grasshoppers after autumn' anyway, and they will not be able to survive for a long time... No matter how bad it is, the emperor will not hesitate to deal with it if it is completely bad... If it is just a thief who took advantage of it, it will not appear to be cruel. Mercy, it would be disgusting to keep using it..."
Shu Shu comforted.
Nowadays, everyone has a default view, "If the water is clear, there will be no fish", so they turn a blind eye to petty greed.
Shu Shu disagreed with this view from beginning to end.
This will only embolden the corrupt and allow small corruption to turn into big corruption.
The ninth elder brother was still not happy: "If it were any other elder brother, how dare they fool me like this? Even if they look down on me and don't even bother to cover it up, I'm afraid they don't have any respect in their hearts and feel that if they offend me, I won't make a fuss... "
Shu Shu thought too much.
No matter how respectful the minister-in-charge and minister Xingzai were, they knew how arrogant they were when they knew that Brother Jiu had an errand to check on Xingzai and left him alone.
"Master, after checking this time, we really have to find a way to live outside... This time we lift the lid, and we will offend many people. We really need to be careful...'It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. ', who knows what sneaky things they will do..."
Shu Shu's inner vigilance escalated, but she also meant to sound more serious when she spoke.
This is an opportunity. This is the only reason why I can’t leave the palace early!
Don’t be afraid of offending people!
These people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were purged once the prince was deposed.
A rabbit's tail can't grow!
Brother Ninth sometimes behaves awkwardly, but in fact he is quite well-behaved and has always followed the crowd.
Hearing what Shu Shu said, he felt a little regretful: "Shouldn't I use this excuse?"
"No, no... I am doing this all for me, I am happy in my heart... I am already married. If I don't have this errand, and other things, I have to learn to take responsibility..."
Shu Shu's eyes were bright.
We were also on the road, and the first two days were extremely difficult following a large group of people.
Today is different, I feel much more comfortable and my mood is better.
Brother Ninth felt more comfortable now, but he still remembered what Shu Shu said just now: "Whether it is in Zhenghongqi territory or Beixinqiao, this time I will find a residence with Khan Ama..."
Even if there is no knighthood, it is better to be the master of the family early than to be the younger brother in the palace.
Shu Shu became excited, but she was used to being thoughtful, so she thought for a moment and said, "Master, we also need to confirm whether it is a coincidence... If it is unlucky, and this room happens to be like this, we will look like it if we reveal it." It’s not making a fuss out of a molehill, I’d better go to Uncle Ten’s room first, and then go to the next few rooms to have a look…”
Brother Jiu immediately stood up, thinking a little too much: "Yes, I have to prevent such a bastard from setting a trap for me... I will go to Lao Shi's place now..."
It was so big here, so the ninth elder brother went to the tenth elder brother's house and the row house at the back, and then went to the middle road where the concubines were placed.
There is a small courtyard house with more than a dozen rooms.
The walls are still white, and there are incense burners placed on the tables.
Brother Jiu walked away from the incense burner, sniffed it carefully, then turned and left.
Returning to the row house, Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "The empress' place has an incense burner just like ours... I'm afraid it's the same everywhere except where Khan Ama lives... How dare they?" Here, it’s hard to hide the anger: “I’m afraid I’ll die from suffocating myself if I don’t deal with them…”
The fault has been found, and the fault has been found. How to deal with these moths?
Shu Shu said sternly: "The rest will naturally be left to the emperor to decide... I am responsible for the 'inventory'. Hasn't this been checked? As for the follow-up, you don't have to think so carefully, otherwise how can you be called a errand? Yes? If there are any shortcomings, the emperor will teach you bit by bit."
Brother Jiu sighed and said: "It's a beautiful thought. Apart from the crown prince, how can Khan Amma have the patience to teach others step by step? It's just the boss, the third, and the fourth who take advantage of Xuzhi. In those days, the emperor I taught him personally. Who was my brother Jingui at that time? After his death, the older ones took over these few...From the beginning of the fifth brother, it was just like being free-range, and there was no serious management..."
Su Su was very helpless and she really didn't dare to say anything.
She walked to the door, but luckily there was no one else around.
Townhouses also have the advantage of being in a spacious courtyard, so it's easy to see who's coming in.
"That's enough. Just report it to the Emperor in private. There's no need to add any extraneous details. As I just said, they are well-informed. If it is mentioned openly this time, they will definitely send the information to the front..."
Shu Shu advised.
"So what if you are well-informed? The house can't be repaired in a day, the most it can do is provide food..."
Brother Nine muttered.
"But in that case, my only contribution will be lost..."
Shu Shu took Brother Jiu and sat down next to him: "This is my first errand. Naturally, I have to do it carefully to show my ability..." At this point, he lowered his voice: "Besides, what a good thing this is. Is it true? 'Family scandals should not be made public', it is also related to the emperor's face. If it is revealed now, it will probably be 'big things are reduced to trivial matters'... Even if I want to make meritorious deeds, I don't need to do it at this time..."
Brother Jiu thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "You are right, especially since this place is too close to Mongolia. If there is any noise, it will spread to the other side and make people laugh... I will take a note first and return to The capital will settle accounts with them again..."
"Brother Ninth, sister-in-law, is it convenient to come in?"
The tenth prince stood at the door, shouting in a drake voice.
"Come in!"
Brother Jiu didn't move and raised his voice.
Brother Ten followed him in, Shu Shu stood up and asked him to sit down.
"Brother Ninth, did you go to the dining room just now? Are there any good ingredients?"
Brother Ten asked eagerly.
"There is pork, do you want to eat it?"
Brother Jiu replied: "We have both big and small pigs, how about grilled pork belly?"
"It's fishy. Who's going to eat that? What about the others?"
Brother Ten then asked.
Brother Jiu thought for a while: "What else can there be? Chicken, duck, and mutton... chicken and duck are the examples of the Queen Mother and Khan Amma, and we can't misappropriate them... Sheep are different. In addition to big sheep, there are also Two lambs, less than three months old..."
After hearing this, Brother Ten was immediately moved and turned around: "Sister-in-law, a lamb that is less than three months old has not yet begun to eat grass. It has grown up eating milk. It only weighs more than ten kilograms without the fur and internal organs. It is very tender... It’s just that the only way to eat it in the palace is to bake it, and I’m tired of eating it already. Is there any other way to eat it?”
