How could such a big movement be hidden from others?
Immediately a fast horse left the capital, and during lunch, the emperor got the news.
Kangxi felt heartbroken, but he didn't expect the third elder brother to handle the problem like this.
Were you such an impatient person before?
Thirty-seven officials were arrested directly!
The situation should not escalate, nor should it be slow. It needs to be resolved quickly to avoid causing uneasiness.
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Pass on Dong Dianbang!"
The guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were the emperor's servants and also the barrier of the imperial city.
It can be rectified, but it cannot be alienated from the royal family, otherwise it will only make people laugh.
Liang Jiugong went down to deliver the message, and then Dong Dianbang was summoned.
He is the director of the Garden Dining Room who took office last year, and is also the inheritor of the Dong family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Kangxi looked at him and said, "You were the director of the Accounting Department before?"
The emperor and his ministers were of the same age, and Kangxi also had a good impression of Dong Dianbang. He was not unhappy because of Dong, and still let him take charge of the garden and dining room.
Dong Dianbang said respectfully: "Yes, I was in the Accounting Department in my early years!"
Kangxi looked at Dong Dianbang and said: "Sanbeile is now investigating the case of the Accounting Department. You are temporarily appointed as the accounting department member, Wailang, to help Sanbeile investigate this case thoroughly!"
Dong Dianbang was in his prime, not a young boy. When he heard this, he was not happy and was shocked, and there was a thick layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
Kangxi looked at him and gave him no choice.
Dong Dianbang kowtowed, his face drained of blood, and said: "Slave... take the order..."
When Dong Dianbang went down, Kangxi sent word to the seventh elder brother and Zhao Chang, instructing the seventh elder brother: "All the children of the Fucha family in the guard camp must be evacuated..."
The seventh elder brother agreed.
Kangxi thought of the Gao family who had deceived his superiors and concealed his subordinates, and ordered Zhao Changdao: "Detain the Gao family for the crime of theft, and verify the Gao family's property inside and outside the city!"
Zhao Chang agreed.
Gao Jiaming's official identity is that he is an old family in Nancheng and a wealthy businessman in Beijing. Their shop opens from the outer city to the inner city and then to the imperial city.
Money can help the gods. Who knows how many connections the Gao family has gained over the years.
The guards and guards in the garden also subtly noticed the difference.
It seems that the emperor summoned many people today.
Apart from the return of the princess to the court, are there any other big events?
Dong Dianbang followed Liang Jiugong directly back to the capital, entered the palace, and arrived at the main office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The third elder brother is taking Zhang Baozhuo to look at the account books of the accounting department.
The Eight Banners Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development also checked the red lease deeds of Di'anmenwai Street to compare the rent prices.
As a result, none of the shops in the Imperial City had normal prices, and there were loopholes everywhere.
Not only the shops in the imperial city are like this, but also the rental prices for some government buildings used as residences are outrageous. Once you enter the independent courtyard, the rent turns out to be a ridiculous 40 taels of silver per quarter. After a year, the rent is less than 20 taels of silver.
The third elder brother looked at his luck. In order to prevent the transfer of family assets, in the morning, in addition to arresting the senior and lower officials of the Accounting Department, he also ordered people to seal up the homes of these people.
Now that you have sent the order, you can check every house.
Hearing that someone from the imperial court was coming, Third Elder Brother hurriedly came out to greet him.
When he met Liang Jiugong, he said politely: "But Khan Ama has something to give me?"
Liang Jiugong pointed at Dong Dianbang and said: "Third Master, this is Dong Dianbang, the general manager of the Garden Dining Room. He used to be the director of the Accounting Department. He was appointed by the Emperor to temporarily serve as a member of the Accounting Department, Wai Lang, to assist Third Master in handling the Accounting Department."
The third elder brother was moved when he heard this surname. He looked at Dong Dianbang and said, "Which Dong? Does the Dong family in Zhenghuang Banner have children in the accounting department?"
Dong Dianbang bowed and said: "This slave is from the first collar and fourth left collar of Zhenghuang Banner. It is true that there are cousins in the accounting department."
Third Brother: "..."
There was some confusion in his mind.
What does royal father mean?
Didn’t you know that there is someone from the Dong family in the Accounting Department?
Why send such a person to serve as the temporary accountant of the Accounting Department?
The Accounting Department was all vacant, and I was left with a commissioned director.
The ranking of this wailang is higher than that of the principal. This Dong Dianbang is the name of the wailang and is in charge of the affairs of the doctor.
He looked at Dong Dianbang, was this the emperor's confidant?
Why didn't you pay attention before?
He looks to be in his forties. If he is really a confidant, shouldn't he be promoted to the general manager of Changchun Garden?
The third elder brother couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Dong Dianbang: "You are also an old man in the accounting department. Since the accounting department is out of trouble, there are no innocent people in the department. How should we deal with this matter?"
Dong Dianbang's face turned pale and he said in a hoarse voice: "I have something important to do and want to inform the third master..."
The third elder brother looked at Dong Dianbang and suddenly turned around.
Khan Amma really felt sorry for him. She was afraid that he was not considerate, so she sent such a person here.
The crime investigation from the outside is messy and disorderly, but if an insider comes forward, then it will be a sure thing...
The third elder brother nodded and took Dong Dianbang to check the room.
He didn't call anyone else, but asked Zhang Bao to take notes.
He is also keeping his wealth away from outsiders. When he comes back to discuss his merits and reward him, he will not be able to share the share of the old five-foot-long man.
It is also reserved as a backup plan. If anything goes wrong after this situation is dealt with, there will be someone ready to take the blame.
As Dong Dianbang spoke, Zhang Baozhu remembered quickly, and a warrant from Zhang San's brother was also passed to the Shenxing Department.
A total of thirty-seven people were detained. In one afternoon, a total of nineteen families were searched, twelve people above the supervisor were arrested, and seven of them were included.
This rumbling situation caused silence in the imperial city.
Gao Bin happened to come back from Haidian and saw his house in chaos.
It was Gao Bin's second sister and mother-in-law who came, holding Ms. Li crying.
Gao Bin said: "What's going on?"
Gao Bin's second sister hurriedly said: "Second brother, something big has happened. Your second brother-in-law has been arrested!"
It turns out that Gao Bin's second brother-in-law passed the Internal Affairs Examination last year and was directly assigned to work in the Accounting Department.
Among the thirty-seven people arrested this morning, his second brother-in-law was among them.
Others didn't know it, but Gao Bin knew that his second brother-in-law was the most honest person, a bit dull, and his family background was ordinary.
He comforted Sister Gao and said, "Don't cry yet. My brother is going out to inquire..."
When Gao Bin went out, the doctor who was catching up with the Shenxing Division personally led people to search the house.
Gao Bin had been serving Ninth Brother for more than two years. He often dealt with the Shenxing Division and knew this doctor, so he stepped forward and said, "Master Du, are you busy?"
Du Tu glanced at Gao Bin and said: "Don't worry, your brother-in-law is just asking a routine question. It should be fine. Let his family be more honest and don't stir up trouble at this time."
Rumors have spread that Gao Yanzhong has acquired a new left leader.
Everyone has eyes and can see that Brother Jiu is really useless to his subordinates.
Du Tu is also happy to form a good relationship.
Gao Bin said with gratitude: "Thank you for your trouble. When my father comes back, I will come to say thank you."
Du Tu was also busy, waved his hands, and took the people away.
Gao Bin was afraid that his family would be worried, so he hurried back to tell his family.
The second-year high school sister, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went home to hear the news with some doubts.
Gao Bin said to Li: "Such a big commotion was caused by Sanbeile. I wonder if Master Jiu will be implicated. I'll inquire after my son goes out. You can ask someone to go to Changping, and be on guard against Er." My brother-in-law has other things to do, so my father can take care of him when he comes back..."
The children are all flesh and blood, and the son-in-law is still a dutiful person carefully selected by the couple. There is no reason to ignore them when they encounter difficulties.
Li arranged for people to go to Changping.
Gao Bin went out and visited a few of the busiest teahouses in the imperial city.
There’s been too much news these past two days!
The teahouse was full, so Gao Bin had no choice but to find a kind old man to share the table with.
The tea guest at the table on the left was teasing the myna bird and chatting with others about yesterday's Yufeng Tower.
"Yesterday we were in the private room on the second floor, across from the nobleman's private room. We really learned a lot..."
"The noble Bai Arowana is just here for a meal. The boy from the Fucha family is used to being arrogant. He drinks too much without drinking. He insists on letting people vacate the room, and his mouth is not clean..."
"First the guards of the courtyard, and then the guards of the army, both showed their swords. If they don't raid their homes, who will raid their homes..."
The man on the right said: "Not only the Fucha family, but also the Dong family did not escape. It was the family that was raided by the clan leader. He is a heroic figure, and he can kill him..."
Another person said: "Didn't you say there is another Li family?"
Someone familiar with the matter said: "The head of the Li family is in Suzhou, and the Accounting Department is just a piece of trash. I guess he can only make up for it in the Accounting Department..."
After Gao Bin heard the news, he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs again.
He has the badge of being in and out of the palace, and he is also familiar with the yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Zhang Baoshuo tensed up.
Others didn't know what was going on, but he felt like he knew.
This accounting department's nest was something he found strange, so he gave Brother Jiu a clue.
Just as the ninth elder brother was about to investigate, the seventh elder brother arrived, and then the ninth elder brother was impeached.
Zhang Baoshuo watched all this drama unfold in his eyes.
Even when Brother Ninth was suspended and left, he didn't look like he was in a gray state.
It's just that he learned to keep his mouth shut and didn't mention it to anyone.
But the third elder brother looked at him with an unkind look today, and this "reuse" was a bit too much.
Zhang Baozhuo felt unsure and was looking forward to Brother Jiu's early return.
After meeting Gao Bin, the two of them went to a secluded place, and he talked about everything that happened for most of the day.
The two have been together for three years and have a tacit understanding.
Zhang Baozhuo, who was standing next to him, stopped talking, but Gao Bin could hear his anxiety.
After leaving the Forbidden City, Gao Bin rode out of the city to find Brother Jiu to report the news.
Brother Jiu was bored and was talking to Shu Shu about Guo Luoluo's family affairs. He said, "Is Daobao stupid? How does the old man treat him? He has no idea how he treats him? He is the only brother of the empress. He only needs to think differently." Jiang Hu, if you become a sensible person, will this bring you less benefits in the future?"
Shu Shu thought more.
Since Daobao was the eldest son and was still more than ten years younger than his direct brothers, he must have been deeply relied on in his early years.
After all, when Concubine Yi entered the palace, she brought the girls from her family with her, and the concubines were predetermined, and she was officially registered as a concubine a few months after entering the palace. Daobao said that "a younger brother is more valuable than a sister", and she was regarded as the heir to the Guo Luoluo family.
"Even Guidan is aware of it, and Daobao should also know about it. Even if he doesn't know the details, he still knows that the Guo Luoluo family has some sources of income..." Shu Shu said.
Brother Jiu was suddenly enlightened and said: "This makes sense. If you really are a filial son, you won't follow the filial law..."
Gao Bin was not alone, so he didn't have to wait in front. He was directly brought over by Cui Baisui and waited outside.
When Walnut came in to report, he was so elegant and elegant that he could not tell that it was his fiancé outside.
When Brother Jiu heard that Gao Bin was coming, he looked at Shu Shu and said, "Didn't you talk about potatoes before? They have more yields and more seeds, and are not so valuable. Gao Bin happened to come over and asked him to keep two baskets..."
Shu Shu hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need. In addition to fruits and melons, Daxing Zhuangzi also planted some vegetables, including a few ridges of potatoes, which are about to grow."
】
Brother Ninth nodded and said, "That's good. I don't have to listen to Fourth Brother grind his teeth just for a bite of food..."
With that said, he ordered Walnut: "Bring that boy in!"
Walnut responded and went down to bring Gao Bin in.
"Jiu Ye'an, Fu Jin'an..."
Gao Bin hadn't seen them for a while, so he beat them neatly.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Get up and talk..."
Shu Shu motioned to Walnut to bring a stool over.
Brother Jiu said, "You came here to see Fourth Brother, right? Fourth Brother has been at the Ministry of Finance during the day, but it's getting late now, so he should be back."
Gao Bin shook his head and said: "I'm taking a break today because there's something going on at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I'm worried that the news from Master Jiu is slow, so I came here..."
As he spoke, he started from the time when his in-laws were implicated, then went on to meet the doctor of the Shenxing Division, to various news in the teahouse, and Zhang Baozhu's words.
Brother Jiu was dumbfounded.
It was Lao San who stabbed someone to death because he was attacked? !
It was Lao San who made a thorough investigation of the Accounting Department in anger because of the Fucha family's neglect? !
There was a housekeeper left in the yamen, and they were all arrested!
They also ransacked the homes of all the dozen people involved in the crime!
Brother Jiu felt excited when he heard it.
It was handled so neatly, and he wanted it too!
Wasn't it too much of a mother-in-law to think about all the things I did before? !
The third brother, the accounting department, is in trouble, isn't this not a big splash?
Even Shu Shu feels that she is shallow.
I had underestimated Third Brother before.
This man was also well-known for being both civil and military. After the second deposed crown prince, Kangxi had been favoring the successor candidate for many years.
Being so decisive and resolute is really a bit courageous.
However, in today’s accounting department matter, it seems that the third elder brother is in the limelight, but the “finishing point” is Dong Dianbang, the Dong family...
Kangxi was really kind and fatherly, and made up for his third elder brother.
Shu Shu glanced at Gao Bin. If Gao Bin went to the teahouse tomorrow, he would probably hear news about the Dong family.
Even if the Baoyi family is angry and uneasy, most of them will fall on the "traitor" Dong family...
