The ninth elder brother and the fourth elder brother looked at each other, and both brothers were a little moved.
It's not because those two slaves are brave enough to attack those two places.
If you think about it, you will realize that this crime has merit.
The Queen Mother of Ningshou Palace has a good temper, but she has several internal officials, the maid on duty, and the chief eunuch are not good-tempered.
Even if the accounts really don't match up, it's just a minor fuss and not worth fussing about.
On the contrary, it is the Yuqing Palace side, because many of the examples are taken arbitrarily, so it is easier to manipulate.
But it is unlikely that they would wantonly occupy Yuqing Palace's belongings.
The prince is the crown prince, and when Suo'etu was there, there were many eyes and ears in the palace. How could he allow others to bully Yuqing Palace?
Therefore, Yuqing Palace is also a cover.
As soon as this accusation came out, in the eyes of others, the emperor felt sorry for the prince and kept Ningshou Palace in front to cover it up.
But the ninth elder brother and the fourth elder brother knew that they were also using Yuqing Palace as a cover for the twelfth elder brother and the ten and fourteenth elder brother.
Regarding the younger brother and the concubine's daughter, Xu was not as interested in the older son as the emperor's father, but the heart of pity and care was the same.
The twelfth elder brother was in the corner and couldn't help but be stunned.
Will places like Ningshou Palace and Yuqing Palace also be expropriated?
Where is grandma?
Will he also be deducted?
Seeing that the two elder brothers were silent, the tenth elder brother asked: "Are the two people copying the inspection at the head of the room where the two concubines are?"
Du Tu said: "The Ma family is on the other side, and the Wuya family is on the other side of Master De's uncle's house..."
The tenth prince nodded. He remembered that Concubine De's younger brother had never worked in the imperial kitchen.
That's fine, otherwise, this involves Concubine Rong and Concubine De. Unless they follow suit and are demoted, who knows whether they will blame the Ministry of Internal Affairs for everything that happened to their parents' family? Also turn your anger on Concubine Yi's mother?
Brother Ninth asked: "Is that the charge of 'disrespect'?"
Corruption and theft will only lead to dismissal and prosecution, while only "disrespect" will lead to punishment.
Since Khan Amma said "liu", then it should be regarded as "liu", right?
"Yes..." Du Tu agreed.
The ninth elder brother knew in his heart that the emperor's father brought Ningshou Palace and Yuqing Palace here not only to protect the younger elder brother and little princess, but also to silence everyone.
In this case, let alone venting their anger, they would probably have to be punished, let alone plead for mercy for the family.
The Ma family is the family of Concubine Rong, and the Wuya family is the family of Concubine De's uncle. In fact, the treatment is also divided into priorities.
"Okay, it's okay, let's go down..."
Brother Jiu waved to Du Tu and said.
They all responded and retreated.
With the fourth elder brother here, he didn't think about anything else. He just thought that the ninth elder brother was helping the fourth elder brother to inquire.
After leaving the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the head of the Criminal Punishment Department trotted over sweating profusely.
This is his close subordinate, responsible for interrogating the Ma family and the Wuya family.
When Du Tu saw this, his heart skipped a beat.
The head of the Shenxing Department did not speak in a hurry, and avoided the places where guards were on duty on both sides of the corridor. Then he whispered, "Sir, Ma Jinshan's wife, Mrs. He, requested to see your majesty, saying that... she has something to do with Yu Qing. I’ll report the secrets of the palace!”
He is the aunt of the third elder brother and the brother-in-law of Concubine Rong. She was the grand palace official of Zhongcui Palace in her early years.
Du Tu couldn't help but frown and said, "Okay, why is she so crazy?"
Concubine Rong's brother, who used to be a sixth-rank official, has been deposed, and the He family has also lost his imperial order.
The head of the Criminal Punishment Department said: "The eldest grandson of the Ma family was shocked when he was doing the inspection yesterday. He has a high fever now..."
Dutu frowned even more after hearing this. In this case, he must be on guard against He being bitten intentionally to seek medical treatment.
If he spoke freely, he would now alarm the emperor and become a joke.
But if it is true, it concerns Yuqing Palace, and small things are also big things.
Du Tu turned around and glanced at the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
At this time, it would be good to find someone who can make the decision, so that he will not be in trouble later, but Master Jiu...
Du Tu had an idea and gave the order: "First send the message to the doctor on duty. I will go to Changchun Garden..."
When Dutu hurried to the outside of Changchun Garden on horseback, he took two silver cakes and asked the guards he knew, saying: "Please pass a message to General Manager Zhao in front of the emperor, and tell him to go to the Shenxing Department. Someone asked this old man for an idea."
With the matters involving the Guo Luoluo family at hand, everyone knows that Zhao Chang, the deputy general manager of the imperial court, has also been in charge of the Criminal Punishment Department recently.
The guard was lenient, and with just one word, he called a passing eunuch to find Zhao Chang.
Zhao Chang came out and said without asking a question: "Let's go into the garden. If you have any questions, go directly to Emperor Chen..."
After hearing this, Du Tu couldn't help but feel weak in his legs, and whispered about the Ma family's child having convulsions and fever, as well as He's words.
"This...what if it's He who bites randomly..."
The two of them often interacted together and had a certain friendship. They both expressed their concerns and said: "Mr. Zhao, do you want to ask first? Wouldn't it be unsafe to alert the emperor directly like this?"
Zhao Chang glanced at him and said: "If you want to be a doctor, remember one thing. As long as it's about Yuqing Palace, it's a big thing. Don't hide anything. It must be reported in full. , waiting for the Emperor’s Holy Judgment!”
Over the past twenty years, the prince's wealth has been well known to everyone.
Du Tu only regarded Zhao Chang as a reminder and said with gratitude: "Thank you, Manager Zhao. I will definitely remember it."
Only then was Zhao Chang satisfied. He took him outside Qingxi Bookstore and said, "Wait, wait for the emperor's summons."
Dutu responded respectfully and waited outside.
Zhao Chang said a few words to the eunuch who was delivering the message at the door, and the eunuch reported inside, and then came out and took Zhao Chang in.
Ma Qi was the bachelor on duty today. He happened to be on duty in the garden and was still in front of the emperor. He had been given a seat before.
Seeing Kangxi passing Zhao Chang, Ma Qi wanted to retreat, but was left behind by Kangxi.
Since it's a matter for the Department of Precaution and Punishment, it doesn't hurt that Ma Qi, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, listens.
Zhao Chang came in and said what Du Tu said.
Kangxi's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Send him to come in..."
He had already thought of this when he wanted to liquidate the Ma family and the Wuya family, so he was not surprised when he heard the news.
Zhao Chang responded and went down to bring Du Tu in.
Du Tu didn't dare to raise his head, but he still showed up with a big greeting.
The last time he saw him was when he was promoted to the doctor of the Department of Punishment, thirty-five years ago, and it has been four and a half years now.
"He is talking about the secrets of Yuqing Palace, not the secrets of Zhongcui Palace?" Kangxi asked.
"Yes, it is indeed a secret matter of Yuqing Palace. I didn't dare to delay, so I thought of coming over to ask General Manager Zhao for an idea..."
Du Tu said respectfully.
Kangxi looked at him and said: "The ninth elder brother is in the Ministry of Internal Affairs today. Why don't you report to the ninth elder brother and let the ninth elder brother report to the emperor?"
Du Tu, the old man of the Shenxing Division should not be unaware of the rules.
It is taboo to go beyond the superior officer to report in this way.
Du Tu kowtowed, thinking about the elder brothers he had just seen in the main hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he felt a little nervous and said: "I was just sent to the yamen of this hall by Master Jiu, and asked about the affairs of the Ma family and Wuya family. Fourth master and The Tenth Master is also here... I'm not sure whether He's story is true or just making up nonsense. I'm afraid I'll report it directly. The other masters are worried... so they come here to find Manager Zhao..."
Kangxi then raised his hand and shouted, telling Zhao Chang: "Since it is related to Yuqing Palace, you should go over and listen. I want to see how Concubine Zhongcui's marriage papers are related to Yuqing Palace!"
Zhao Chang responded and retreated with Du Tu.
Ma Qi's expression did not change.
Kangxi looked at Ma Qi with an ugly expression on his face and said, "Do you think the doctor under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Tuoda, is disrespectful to Brother Nine?"
Ma Qi shook his head and said: "Jiuye likes to follow rules, but he can't stand the rudeness of his subordinates. The Shenxing Department is different. Jiuye has not been in charge of the Shenxing Department since he became the head of the House of Internal Affairs. The doctor should not be neglecting intentionally, but it is a habit. I'm looking for Zhao Chang to make up his mind."
Especially when it comes to Yuqing Palace, I don't know what kind of secret this "secret matter" is, let alone report it in front of the fourth and tenth princes.
After hearing this, Kangxi's expression improved. Thinking about Du Tu's reaction, he said critically: "I'm quite cautious when doing errands, but I'm just a little stupid..."
Ma Qi had a good impression of this person and remembered his resume.
An old man from the Shenxing Department. He was sixteen years old and had passed the exam for the Shenxing Department in thirteen years.
Without the help of the family, how could he be a fool after twenty-six years?
By the time Du Tu and Zhao Chang returned to the Shenxing Division, it was already early afternoon.
As soon as they arrived at the Shenxing Si Yamen, the two got news that the Ma family's child had died.
Children are frightened by high fever, which is inherently dangerous.
After hearing this, Du Tu looked at Zhao Chang.
Zhao Chang's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Just bring someone over for trial!"
After a while, Mrs. He was brought in by two female servants, and her wrists and ankles were chained.
She was once the maid of honor next to Concubine Rong, and of course she also knew Zhao Chang, Kangxi's beaded eunuch.
Her eyes were red and she looked at the two maids beside her.
When Zhao Chang saw this, he sighed inwardly and waved his hands to send the two men away.
It's rare to see someone so soft-hearted at such an old age.
Apart from the two people in the room, there was only one person.
"The emperor ordered me to ask questions. If you have anything to say, just say it..." Zhao Chang said.
You must know that Concubine Rong was the emperor's first concubine, and she was still kept in the palace for the rest of her life. She had to be favored for several years, and then she would give birth one after another.
Even He, the eldest palace maid, saw Zhao Chang, Liang Jiugong and others every day and had some old friendships.
Mr. He knelt down and said, "My servant Ma He is going to go out and tell Princess Zhong Cui about the murder of the prince..."

Outside the palace gate, Sanfujin stood for nearly an hour.
She knew her priorities. For her, it was important to inquire about the third elder brother, but that was not the reason why she could disturb the prince's study.
At the second quarter of the afternoon, when it was estimated that the princes' morning classes were over and it was time to eat, San Fujin found a guard he knew at the door and asked for help in passing the message, asking the thirteenth brother to come out.
After a while, the thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother came out.
The two of them were studying in the same room, and of course they couldn't avoid the fourteenth elder brother when passing the news.
The Fourteenth Brother is a person who likes to be active but not quiet. When he heard that Sanfujin was coming, he was also curious and followed the Thirteenth Brother out.
"Third sister-in-law..."
"Third sister-in-law..."
The Thirteenth Brother and the Fourteenth Brother both called people...
