Brother Jiu stood behind his brothers. Hearing this, his face showed surprise.
Are you going to talk about the Nelfort thing now?
Although the royal family and clan are distinct internally, externally they are one.
The princes of this clan failed to live up to expectations, and the royal family was also embarrassed.
Shouldn't this matter be reduced to a minor issue?
Immediately, he looked at Kangxi and looked at Zhang Penghhe, the governor of Liangjiang, and said: "If someone pretends to be the emperor's messenger and extorts merchants, there are officials who use the name of the emperor to send them, and they will investigate and deal with them according to military law; the subordinate officials will intimidate the local civil and military personnel, and the local civil and military officials will be sent to the subordinate officials." Those who do so will be dealt with according to military law!"
Zhang Penghie bowed and responded.
Kangxi looked at the people again and said: "You will investigate yourselves from now on. If there are followers or others who are causing trouble, they are not allowed to hide it. They will be dealt with according to military law! If you dare to hide it and deceive the emperor, you will be guilty!"
At the end, his voice was cold.
"I don't dare!"
Everyone knelt.
Brother Jiu swallowed and knelt down.
So many things?
Brother Jiu was a little nervous.
Wouldn't he become the "culprit" again?
Although these people are so courageous that they dare to take advantage of the opportunity of the Holy Emperor's southern tour to make money, and they would not regret dying, but those who have such courage are not ordinary officials and ordinary people.
Only those who have backers dare to act like this.
Brother Jiu was either afraid or felt that there would be trouble.
If the protection is not complete, there will be more enemies.
He couldn't help but grind his teeth.
Who doesn't know that Jiangnan is wealthy, but as the prince's elder brother and the biggest yamen, he didn't even mention blackmailing, but let others take the lead!
There is really no place to reason!
After Kangxi finished his lecture, he sent his ministers away, leaving only the princes.
Kangxi did not speak, but looked at the third elder brother.
The third elder brother was looked at a little bit.
Others also followed Kangxi's gaze.
"Yinzhi, did you go to Wanbao Pavilion yesterday morning?"
Kangxi's voice seemed very distant.
The third elder brother nodded and said: "Yes, my son has gone..."
He didn't know where the omission was. He looked at the fifth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother and said: "Not only the son has gone, but the fifth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother have also gone..."
If Brother Jiu hadn't been showing off those things like a treasure, it would have made him excited, and he would have gone over to buy them.
Even though he was confused, he was convinced by Fujin.
Thinking that these are valuable things, the price is lower than the price in the capital, and if you buy it, you will make a profit.
"A gold bracelet weighing ten taels, with beads and precious stones on it. You bought it for thirty taels of silver. Don't you know how to count?"
Kangxi said angrily.
After the ninth elder brother left yesterday, Kangxi felt uneasy and worried that this kind of thing in Neerfu was not an exception, so he sent people to Wanbao Pavilion to get Wanbao Pavilion's account books.
As a result, a bunch of them were found.
Because it was the largest foreign goods store in the south of the Yangtze River, the accompanying princes and ministers either went there in person or sent their confidants to go there and choose.
There were seven or eight people whose accounts were incorrect.
Among them is the third elder brother.
The third elder brother said sarcastically: "Khan Ama, my son has always been careless in general affairs, but he didn't pay attention to such omissions."
"Snapped"!
The cup in Kangxi's hand flew out and hit the third brother on the chest.
"Crack", the cup rolled to the ground and broke into several pieces.
The third elder brother was startled and looked at Kangxi.
Seeing anger boiling on Kangxi's face, he understood the current situation and knelt down with a "pop".
"It's my son Hutu, please forgive me!"
Kangxi cursed: "You Hu Tu? Are there any smart people in the world like you Hu Tu? You bought five pocket watches at that time, and what happened next? You don't understand the economy and don't know the price of goods, but you know how to send people to go there again in the afternoon. Wrapping the remaining pocket watches?!"
The third elder brother's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't say anything in defense.
If we talk about the morning meeting, we can still blame it on Fujin, but we can't blame it on the one in the afternoon.
Because the person who came forward was the first-class guard Khalsa, who was his confidant.
According to regulations, Baylor Mansion does not have first-class guards, only second-class guards and third-class guards.
But because he was granted the title of county king last year, he can have a total of twenty guards, six first-class guards, six second-class guards, and eight third-class guards.
Although they were removed later, the ranks of the guards were all improved, and no one chased them back.
only……
Thinking about the admonishment given by the imperial father to the retinue officials and clan just now, the third elder brother knew that he had not run away.
He said with shame: "My son really has some tricks to take advantage and has embarrassed Khan Amma."
As he said that, he felt something was wrong and glanced at the fifth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother also bought something, why wasn't he punished?
There was dissatisfaction on his face.
Kangxi sighed heavily, looked at the fifth elder brother and said, "Tell him, why didn't I teach you?"
The fifth elder brother was a little confused. After thinking about it, he said, "Is it because my son didn't send someone back to buy a second time?"
"What about the first time?"
Kangxi endured his disgust and then asked.
The fifth elder brother came to some understanding and said: "After the first meeting, my son Fujin felt that something was wrong. The price difference with the price in the capital was too big. If the price difference was really so big, there would have been merchants who had specially sold to the capital. My son thought It’s not easy to buy and sell other people’s houses, and probably because of my sons’ identities, I wasn’t willing to take advantage of this, so I sent someone to make another trip to make up some money.”
Kangxi nodded, his face showing relief.
That was the prince Fujin he appointed. Even though there were some comments outside, Wu Fujin behaved generously and uprightly, and he was indeed worthy of the prince Fujin.
The third elder brother's head was drooping and he already regretted it.
The same prince, Fujin, why is the gap so big? !
Wufujin came from a small family and knew not to take advantage. He would only be proud if he took advantage!
Brother Jiu stood among the brothers and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If the third child is the "culprit", then it has nothing to do with him, right?
But what’s wrong with Khan Ama?
Keep an eye on your son so closely!
Is this a matter of taking action?
The ninth elder brother looked at the third elder brother sympathetically. Is the Ji family unlucky or not?
A county king and a prince, Baylor, are all in trouble with their family.
This is no longer "killing the chicken to scare the monkey"; it is already "killing the monkey to scare the chicken."
Even for the richest family, with their visible wealth, it is estimated that no one will dare to take advantage of their family for a while.
Kangxi looked at the third elder brother and was speechless.
The prince's brother, with such a pattern, he can't even compare to a woman!
No matter if he is good at both civil and military skills, if he doesn't change his stingy behavior, he will have no future in this life.
For this reason, it would be too severe to be demoted directly, without punishment and without long memory.
Kangxi glanced at Brother Ninth who was acting obediently. Thinking of Brother Ninth's words, he said, "Yinzhi acted carelessly. Yesterday's reward of two thousand taels of silver will be returned, and he will receive another year's worth of rice!"
The third elder brother raised his head and his expression changed drastically.
That’s four thousand five hundred taels of silver!
Unfortunately, he knew that "Wanbao Pavilion" bought things for him at low prices, and he had the idea of taking advantage, and the difference between them was not that big.
The most is one thousand and several hundred taels, two thousand taels of silver is too much!
"Um?"
Kangxi looked at him with an unkind expression on his face and said, "Do you have any objections to my punishment?"
The third elder brother looked depressed, as if he were mourning his heir, and said hurriedly: "My son doesn't dare, it's all what he deserves."
Kangxi looked around at the rest of the people and said: "The third elder brother is a lesson learned from the past. If anyone commits the same problem as him, or if there is any extortion from his followers, he will be punished according to this example!"
All the princes and elder brothers responded solemnly.
Kangxi looked at it impatiently and said, "Eldest brother, please stay, and everyone else should kneel down and pay your respects!"
Everyone responded respectfully and got off the dragon boat.
The third brother's back was covered in cold sweat, his forehead was sweaty, and he was afraid of it after giving birth.
Fortunately, the emperor's father cared about his dignity and did not deal with him in front of the clan and civil and military ministers, otherwise he would have to hide in shame.
But thinking about the four thousand five hundred taels of silver, his heart, liver, and lungs ached, and his whole body felt weak.
When he got off the trestle, his knees bent and he almost fell to his knees.
The fifth elder brother followed him, and when he saw it, he stepped forward, picked it up, and said: "Third brother, be careful!"
The third elder brother turned around, looked at the fifth elder brother, smiled bitterly, and said: "Lao Wu, Lao Wu, why are you hiding an adulterer?"
The fifth elder brother blinked his eyes and said, "What kind of rape are you hiding?"
The third elder brother pushed him away and complained: "You knew the price was wrong and sent people back with the money. Why didn't you tell your brother?"
The fifth elder brother frowned and said, "I'll send someone away!"
In the past few days in Suzhou Zhizao Mansion, the two brothers lived in one place, which was the small and medium-sized courtyard in front of the West Garden.
The third elder brother and his wife are the eldest, and they live in the upper room.
The fifth elder brother and his wife are young and live in the east wing.
The maids from the two Fujin families lived in the west wing, and the eunuchs lived in the back seat.
You can't see it when you look up, and it's not easy to pull it down.
The third elder brother was dumbfounded: "..."
The fifth elder brother thought about what happened yesterday and said, "Oh, the third brother was not there at the time and went to the guard camp. The people around me told the third sister-in-law."
The third elder brother was still smiling bitterly just now, but now he was sulky and gritted his teeth and said: "Dong E's family!"
Brother Jiu just happened to come up to him. After hearing this, he quickly reminded: "Third brother, in the future you should use another way of talking about your third sister-in-law. This third sister-in-law and Fujin are both from the Dong E family. If you call me like this, my brother will listen." It’s awkward!”
The third elder brother was angry. Hearing the voice of the ninth elder brother, he became even more angry. He glared at him and said: "Old nine, do you think you dug a hole for me on purpose? If you hadn't been messing around, I would have thought Going to Wanbao Pavilion?"
"ha?!"
The ninth elder brother was shocked and looked at the third elder brother with a look of disbelief on his face: "Third elder brother, are you too outrageous to express your anger? Why am I fooling around? I followed the instructions of Khan Amma and wanted to give it to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. The concubine and the concubines ran errands before bringing the things they bought to the elders, but I didn't come close to you!"
The third elder brother also knew that he was being unreasonable, but when he saw the ninth elder brother, he was still heartbroken and stamped his feet: "Anyway, you are trying to suppress me. It's true, 'Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner.' If anyone can't forgive you, , you go and compete with the rightful owner, don’t torment others!”
After saying that, he glanced at Brother Ba with a pointed look and walked away with a slumped face.
Everyone was confused and looked at the eighth prince.
The eighth elder brother felt something was wrong, and the third child’s words seemed not to be a good thing...
*
The ones in the morning are from yesterday, so please don’t leave them behind.
