The twelfth elder brother was quite sensible. Seeing that the ninth elder brother had no intention of answering, he did not ask further questions.
At this moment, Gao Yanzhong arrived.
His home is in the Imperial City, which is closer than the Prince's Mansion.
There was no one else in the room, so Brother Jiu said: "There are only tails left in Xiaotangshan. Don't overuse your talents. I'll go to the staff department to make a handover later. I'll go to the garden tomorrow morning to hand over the sign. See you there. Maybe." Khan Amma has other instructions..."
With that said, he handed Gao Yanzhong the handwritten letter he had just written, which was about Gao Yanzhong resigning from the fifth rank Prince's Palace and reinstating himself as the head doctor of the Fifth Rank Internal Affairs Office.
Gao Yanzhong looked at Hu Tu and said, "Master Jiu?"
Earlier, Brother Ninth had said that he would be asked to return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future, but it didn’t have to be so soon, right?
The Prince's Mansion has only been open for half a year, and the manpower has not yet been prepared.
Although there is still a ceremony, it is also Zhang Tingzhan who is more knowledgeable than human.
Brother Jiu said: "Are you so happy that you are stupid? Why can't you be regarded as a half-laden imperial envoy? I will ask Cao Yin to invite you to have a drink on the Qinhuai River!"
Gao Yanzhong couldn't make up his mind and said, "Then how far has the investigation gone?"
Except that the Li family has only been in Jiangnan for a few years, both the Jin family and the Cao family have been operating in Jiangnan for decades and are deeply rooted.
But if you really want to find faults, where can't you find faults?
Brother Jiu said: "Go and ask Khan Amma tomorrow. He is Khan Amma's slave, not my servant. Who knows how far Khan Amma will investigate."
Gao Yanzhong glanced at Brother Ninth, thought about the identities of the three families, and knew what Brother Ninth wanted to avoid suspicion, so he stopped talking, took Brother Ninth's handwriting, and went to the official office.
When Gao Yanzhong came back after completing the formalities at the Ministry of Personnel, He Yuzhu also brought Cao Shun back.
Brother Jiu said to Gao Yanzhong: "Find you a local snake to work as a handyman..."
Then he said to Cao Shun: "Fu Jin mentioned something before, saying that your daughter is still in Jiangning and will give you half a year's leave to go back to visit relatives and pick up people. By the way, she will also help Gao Yanzhong. Also, I told your uncle that the capital is going to Set up a woolen cloth factory, just like the cashmere factory, it doesn't need to be so elaborate, and the dyers and weavers will be transferred to the north as much as possible. When the time comes, they will get double salary. If the time is long, it will be three years, if it is short, one and a half years."
Cao Shun agreed honestly.
There is a record in the Gao Yan Center, and it should be the Jin family that is inappropriate.
Master Jiu has just returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he wants to be on the safe side. He will not continue to check the yamen below at this time, so as not to cause unrest everywhere.
That is what the emperor wants to investigate.
With Cao Shun here, he wanted to arrest people in Jiangning Zhizao Mansion, so he had no intention of hiding it from the Cao family.
The one who was investigating was either Cao Yin or the Jin family.
After Gao Yanzhong and Cao Shun left, the manager of the imperial dining room came over.
The errands in the imperial kitchen are a carrot and a pit, and everyone's position is fixed.
This time I went back and checked the corresponding writing style and assistant chef. I checked and found the right one, so I didn’t have to worry about it at all.
I was sent to the Criminal Punishment Department, but I had to tell the truth before I went there.
"These two people only made up for it in the first month of last year. Regarding the pork from the Five Institutes, they both knew that it was inappropriate and did not dare to correct it. In addition to the Five Institutes, there are two Gege Institutes..."
The principal explained honestly.
The Royal Dining Room did undergo a lot of changes last year.
Brother Jiu believed that the boss didn't have the guts to lie, so he just said: "Where is the little pork? Where did it go?"
According to the rules in the palace, the princess is equal to the prince.
A young master eats six kilograms of pork, and three people eat eighteen kilograms a day.
The manager glanced at Brother Jiu and said, "They are supplying the chief eunuchs and palace people of Zhongcui Palace and Yonghe Palace..."
Brother Jiu was so anxious that he didn't choke.
He thought it was stolen and sold as scraps, or that the people in the imperial kitchen paid filial piety to the chief eunuchs of Qianqing Palace and Yuqing Palace, and ended up supplying these two palaces in the inner court.
Brother Jiu was really in a dilemma. He involved the concubines and his mother, and he went to the emperor to complain. He was clearly public-minded, but it seemed like he was talking nonsense.
What to do about this matter?
It makes no sense that the princes and princesses have been wronged all these years in vain, and the big things have been reduced to trivial matters.
But how to pursue this?
I guess Concubine De and Concubine Rong don't even know about this.
It's just that the Wuya family and the Ma family are quite funny. When they were in the imperial kitchen before, they thought that they were not honoring their own prince and elder brother, but honoring the chief eunuch in front of the palace concubine. What kind of trick is this?
Brother Ninth was a little confused.
However, the leader eunuch who had benefited had to be taught a lesson, and he could not bully the young master despite his strength.
Don’t they know what kind of meat should be included in their own portion?
Every stitch in this palace must be recorded, and the only ones who are eligible to eat piglets are the masters.
Brother Jiu was holding back his anger when he thought like this.
He looked at the chief official and said: "From today onwards, you will keep an eye on it personally. If there is any defect in the palace's status, I will smash it for you later to make up for it!"
The boss hurriedly bowed and said, "I will definitely keep a close eye on you, Master Jiu, don't worry."
Brother Ninth thought of the emperor's grandson and Nersu in the palace, and said: "Especially Prince Ping and several of the emperor's grandsons, if I know that someone is reaching out, I will deal with you first!"
The master lowered his waist and said, "I dare not..."
When the principal went down, the twelfth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Are you going to make them pay?"
Brother Jiu didn't nod or shake his head, and said: "You can't just pay the money, but it's up to the owner to beat the dog. If we really want to pursue it, these eunuchs and palace people just took advantage of it and didn't break the palace rules. Don't worry, sir." Think of a way so that you won't suffer all these years in vain. If the two concubines dare to side with this slave, then I will report to the imperial court..."
The twelfth elder brother didn't say anything anymore and just dealt with the official documents honestly.
Brother Ninth felt a little depressed, so he left the House of Internal Affairs and went to the Hubu Yamen.
Just as Si Fujin sent someone over to deliver food boxes, Si Age called him in and said, "Let's use some together..."
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said, "I had some cake this morning. I'll eat it later when I go back to Brother's place."
The fourth elder brother looked at him speechless and said, "What did you forget about the chief censor's impeachment?"
Brother Jiu was stunned.
The fourth elder brother said: "We have already gone to the city and stayed up for a long time. Do we have to confront the censor and wait for the other party to impeach him?"
Brother Ninth said "hehe" twice.
Because there was no imperial censor impeachment at all, he didn't even think of it.
Others looked at him and felt that he was deliberately provocative by starting a half-day shift as soon as he resumed his errands.
He coughed twice and said: "This happened last month. I had forgotten it for a long time. I didn't think of it for a moment..."
When he mentioned this, he quickly told He Yuzhu: "Go to the clan mansion and tell the Tenth Master that he won't be back until noon today. He has to go back by himself. If he doesn't come back, send someone back and tell him to save Fujin and others."
He Yuzhu agreed and retreated to the Yamen of Zongren Mansion.
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said angrily: "What are you telling me? If the tenth elder brother doesn't return to the garden, won't it mean that you sent someone back to tell you about Fujin?"
Brother Jiu was puzzled and said: "Okay, what should you do if you know so clearly? If you don't go back, you will have to send someone to explain, so I just said it by the way!"
Fourth elder brother: "..."
It turns out that it is not only the ninth elder brother who loves to cling to his wife, but also the tenth elder brother.
He didn't want to say anything anymore. He just looked at Brother Jiu and said, "What are you looking for me for? Or is it to eat the day after tomorrow?"
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "It's not that. I have something to ask you to tell me. What should I do next..."
As he spoke, he told the story about the wrong identity of the twelfth prince and the results of the investigation by the owner of the imperial kitchen.
In addition to the twelve princes, there are also ten and fourteen grids.
After hearing this, Fourth Brother turned pale and said, "Damn slave!"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "They are bastards enough. To say that these two people are right now is not right, but to say that the blame for neglecting the prince and princess is all on them is too serious. They are following the 'old practice'. The instigator should be held accountable..."
Fourth Brother nodded and said: "Chase!"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said: "It was moved to Yonghe Palace and Zhongcui Palace, which means it is involved with these two families..."
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and frowned, and said: "So what? Once you find out the result, you can punish him as you please! If you can't make up your mind, please ask the Holy Judge!"
Brother Jiu still hesitated and said: "This is also about the dignity of Concubine De and Concubine Rong..."
Jiu Gege is about to get married, and her family has been investigated one after another. I don’t know why the Tong family is laughing at her.
The same goes for Concubine Rong. Although the children of the Ma family were dismissed before, they were not held accountable.
If it is found out this time, someone will definitely be held accountable.
When the time comes, it’s fun to look at the chicken feathers on the ground, but the royal family is being slapped in the face one after another, which is also despicable.
Regardless of whether it is the twelfth prince, the tenth prince, or the fourteenth prince, the birth mother's status is not high, and she still has to make a living in the harem.
Fourth Brother frowned and said, "What were your original plans?"
Brother Jiu reached out his hand and took out the golden abacus from his purse. He coughed twice and said, "I just thought about it. I can't wrong my brothers and sisters. The Ma family and the Wuya family will add a silver supplement. Fifteen thousand taels for each family, specially given to Twelve and the three of them. Bi Tie Shi and the deputy cook who were involved in the imperial dining room were dismissed and fined three years. The current officials are below the chief and above the deputy cook. They are all fined with half a year's salary as punishment; whether they are involved in the Yonghe Palace or the Zhongcui Palace, whether it is the chief eunuchs or the palace people, if they eat small pork for a few years, they will be fined a few years of annual salary. They have no intention of doing evil, but they dare If you take advantage, you will be punished..."
】
The golden abacus clicked.
Brother Jiu said: "I estimate that at this rate, Twelve and the three of them will each have about 11,300 taels left..."
After hearing this, Fourth Brother's face was still dark, but he couldn't help but think about it.
He looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Why are you thinking about being self-employed? You can't make up your mind on weekdays, so don't you always report to the emperor?"
The ninth elder brother glanced at the fourth elder brother and said: "Let's go to the melon field and plum blossoms. My younger brother doesn't want to embarrass the fourth elder brother and Xiaojiu. The Tong family has always been arrogant. Who knows whether they will find fault with Xiaojiu because of his mother-in-law; Rong On the concubine's side, the younger brother filed a complaint at this time. He was afraid that Khan Amma would think that he was seeking revenge. There were rumors outside, but the conscience of heaven and earth meant that my brother did not hold grudges. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was Khan Amma's Internal Affairs Office. , it’s not my younger brother’s territory. If my younger brother is really so petty, he won’t recommend the twelfth elder brother to learn errands..."
