A night without words...
It’s like Brother Jiu gave him blood...
Shu Shu became a wilted cabbage and her voice became hoarse.
She should have gone to tell Wufujin personally last night, but she missed it.
Brother Jiu followed Liang Jiugong to meet the driver, and Shu Shu sent Walnut to the front row house in the name of delivering food.
As for what to eat?
It's beef jerky, which can be regarded as a gift in return for eating the fifth elder brother's food.
She asked Walnut to pay attention to the situation there. If the fifth elder brother was not there, she would inform Wu Fujin. After a while, Shu Shu would go over to talk to Wu Fujin. If the fifth elder brother was there, he would be the one delivering things, and there would be no need to say anything else.
As a result, the fifth elder brother is here.
As for Qi Fujin, they couldn’t favor one over the other, so naturally they also gave a portion of beef jerky as a gift.
Shu Shu also asked Walnut to tell Qi Fujin that this beef breast can be eaten to lose weight, but he just needs to remember to drink more water.
This morning's departure time arrived at Yinchu ahead of schedule.
It was an impromptu decision made by Brother Jiu last night.
Otherwise, if you are in a hurry during the day, you have to prepare for street driving after going around the palace.
It's better to move all the time to the morning, so that you can take a short break in the middle and not be so tired.
Shu Shu also thinks this is good. Go to bed early and get up early, and you will have plenty of time as soon as you hear it.
The young couple made up their minds and made the decision. As for the younger brothers, the 10th and 13th brothers, they didn't have any opinions, and it didn't matter if they had opinions.
Fortunately, they were on the left road, and they were in the last row of row houses. There was a small door leading directly to the outside, so there was no need to disturb the people in front.
The ten guards and escorts who were following him were already stationed outside, and they all got up and were ready to set off.
Therefore, the group left quietly without disturbing others.
The manager, Xing Zai, and two stewards came out to see him off, holding back their breath.
The steward watched the group of people drifting away, and couldn't help but wonder: "Sir, are you leaving now? Didn't you say that this man is responsible for checking the business? If you go around once, you have checked?"
The manager in charge said sleepily: "I'm a grown man. I'm looking for an excuse to take credit... I'm just relying on my favorite concubine's son and the emperor's pampering..."
In fact, the manager has already prepared a generous tribute, just in case Brother Jiu finds trouble, he will pay him a tribute.
Who would have thought that he was actually a prodigal? He was just going through the process and had no intention of extorting money.
Manager Xingzai thought about it and realized that Brother Jiu didn't understand the world, so maybe he didn't think about anything else at all.
He couldn't help but feel a little afraid. If he paid too much attention to his filial piety, he might actually get into trouble.
Thinking that the manager who was walking at the Sancha intersection in front was also an acquaintance, he called his confidants and ordered: "Go tell the old horse in front of you about this matter. He is a tortoise and likes to hide from things. Let him feel You know, don’t show your timidity.”
The steward responded and went to ride a horse and take a detour to deliver the message.
*
On the official road, the sound of horse hoofbeats and wheels squeaking was particularly clear in the early morning.
In the carriage, Shu Shu lay in Brother Jiu's arms, squinting his eyes and listening to the sounds outside.
In addition to the sound of horse hooves and wheels, the croaking of frogs also comes one after another.
Shu Shu asked in confusion: "Why are there frogs croaking at this time? Isn't it already the beginning of autumn?"
Brother Jiu said: "It rains heavily this year and the weather cools down late..."
The thick curtain at the front of the carriage was lifted, leaving the screen door open.
The night breeze was blowing and it was very cool.
Shu Shu sighed happily, it was much cooler than the capital city.
The construction of the summer resort has not started yet, and Rehe should still be there now.
I don’t know if I can go there this time.
Today we are stationed at Sanchakou, which is the last stop before exiting the customs. Tomorrow morning we will exit from Gubei exit.
Since this place is so close to Yaotingxing, the two managers might be able to communicate with each other.
Thinking of this, Brother Jiu was already gearing up: "I want to see if they are a nest of snakes and rats, all equally wanton and greedy."
Shu Shu thought more carefully and said: "As long as something has been done, there will be traces. They are morons, and so is my side... They are guilty. They may have underestimated the enemy before and did not keep a close eye on them. It is hard to tell this time. …”
Brother Jiu snorted: "So what? Even if they know what I am planning, do they still dare to stop me?"
Shu Shu felt that it was not a big deal to murder the prince's brother, but he was afraid of the worst, so he still warned: "Be careful and you won't make a big mistake! Anyway, remember to bring more people with you this time, otherwise I won't feel at ease. Besides, the emperor will Third Uncle Nuo sent these guards to protect me..."
Brother Ninth also began to think about it, and he was curious: "What will they do if they find out that I have found something weird in the repair shop? Directly apologize to me for mercy, or something else?"
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "If the crime of embezzling these money is proven, it will be at least resigned, at worst it will be lost... I think, most likely I will silence you..." Bajie Zhongwen.com
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Legendary bribery!"
Shu Shu nodded, thinking this was the greatest possibility: "If I accept the money, they can feel at ease; if I don't accept the money, they will probably go to Shengjing and ask for help from Guo Luoluo's family."
They are all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they have been relatives within relatives for several lifetimes.
Brother Jiu's eyes were full of excitement, and he asked with great anticipation: "How much silver will they take to seal the seal? Three thousand taels, five thousand taels?"
Shu Shu did not answer casually, but asked: "Have you asked the emperor yesterday how much is the annual maintenance cost for this place?"
Brother Jiu'a's face turned dark: "It ranges from eight hundred taels of silver to two thousand two hundred taels of silver! Since there are two roads going back and forth from the capital to Mulan Paddock, there are a total of 21 houses... Depending on the number of houses, the amount of silver There is also a difference in the amount, but the repair costs are all allocated once a year... The driver will provide the supply for these days, and then allocate it separately..."
According to the minimum standard calculation for twenty-one places, it is also 16,800 taels of silver per year!
Shu Shu felt distressed hearing this.
According to Yaoting Xingzai's "repair" method, 80% of it can go into the pocket of this person, which is thirteen thousand four hundred and forty taels.
And this is not a one-time "income generation", there is a fixed income every year.
Brother Jiu was a little undecided: "If such a bitch really wants to offer a bribe, will I really accept it? This one is short-tongued, and that one is soft-handed..."
"receive!"
Shu Shu said: "Then don't touch every amount of money recorded. These are all evidence!"
"Can this still happen?"
Brother Jiu hesitated: "It's a bit harmful! Isn't this too much? It sounds a bit unethical..."
Shu Shu laughed and said: "It's not like I took the initiative to blackmail, so I wouldn't have wronged a good person! It's all because of their guilty conscience that they thought of showing filial piety."
Brother Jiu nodded: "You're right, that's the truth. That's fine, the evidence is conclusive. Otherwise, just pick something wrong with the food and look petty... The rest of the repairs, you don't have to think about it to know that they will arrive Sometimes there will be various reasons to defend... This real banker's ticket is presented, which is ironclad proof..."
Having said this, he felt more at ease and looked forward to the next examination.
Shu Shu squinted her eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.
However, she didn't sleep soundly. She could still vaguely hear the movement outside, and her brows were furrowed.
The team didn't know when it stopped.
Without the sound of horses' hooves and wheels, the whole world fell into a state of silence.
Shu Shu's brows stretched.
Brother Ninth got out of the carriage quietly, still somewhat excited about having a big fight. .
The tenth elder brother came over in a sigh of relief and was about to speak at the top of his voice, but the ninth elder brother blocked his mouth.
When he was farther away from the carriage, Brother Jiu put down his hand and warned: "Keep your voice down, your sister-in-law is asleep..."
Brother 10 lowered his voice: "Brother Ninth, what are you bothering about? If you set out early in the morning and have to stop on the way, isn't it still 'waking up early and catching up with the late market'?"
Brother Jiu said disapprovingly: "It's okay, what time is it... there is still a long time, resting for half an hour before setting off will not delay anything..."
When Brother Ninth said this, he looked at the carriage behind him.
The thirteenth brother did not come out of the carriage and was probably asleep.
The tenth elder brother was no one else, and the ninth elder brother whispered what he found during yesterday's inspection of the business.
The two little brothers talked about everything since they were little. The ninth elder brother had never thought of hiding it from the tenth elder brother before. Yesterday, he went to inspect the tenth elder brother's house and removed the wallpaper in front of him.
From yesterday to this morning, the two brothers were in such a hurry that they had some alone time together.
The tenth elder brother saw the ninth elder brother taking off the wallpaper yesterday, but he was only thinking about eating at the time and didn't think too much about it.
Listening to it today, he had a heavy look on his face and his brows were knitted tightly: "Brother Ninth, this matter is really troublesome!"
Brother Ninth was arrogant: "What's the trouble? Aren't they just a few moths? Just catch them and clean them up! There are so many people in the Three Banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how can they still be short of help?"
The tenth prince still had a grimace on his face: "Khan Amma circled the Mulan Paddock twenty years ago, and began to set up rows along the way... In total, it has been more than ten years... If there is a problem with the repair of the rows in the middle, this The amount of money involved is not a small amount, and there are even more people involved. It can't be settled by just one or two palace managers. I don't know how many people are involved... This is not like the two nuns who expelled one or two nuns before. Little things..."
Brother Jiu pursed his lips and said: "I reported it to Khan Ama. This has been lifted. Do they still dare to deal with me?"
"Brother Ninth, haven't you heard a saying? 'Destroying someone's wealth is like killing their parents'. Moreover, this not only cuts off money, but also involves the lives of these people. We must guard against someone jumping over the wall..."
Brother Ten said with a bit of solemnity.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but feel anxious as he listened: "Your sister-in-law also advised me to keep it a secret for now, and then settle the matter after I return to Beijing... I originally thought she was thinking too much..."
The tenth prince breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyebrows relaxed: "Sister-in-law has thought carefully, but even if we return to the capital, we must be careful... We live in the palace, everything is under their noses, who can You know where the plot is..."
