Chapter 129: If you succeed, you will be rewarded based on your merits.
Caught someone?
What nonsense is this?
Who is caught and what crime is the most important thing.
"As far as I can tell the prince, I haven't found anything yet."
The prince looked gloomy.
Compared to such half-baked news, the prince would rather get the news that no one has been arrested.
If someone is really arrested, as long as this person is not involved with the fourth elder brother, then the news that the fourth elder brother is meritorious will basically be confirmed.
It's so hidden, I think the credit is not small.
Dezhu was frightened by the prince's expression, and suddenly had an idea: "Could it be because tomorrow is the birthday of the fourth elder brother, so the emperor kept him in the Yangxin Palace..."
Before he finished speaking, Dezhu's head came into close contact with the gold-inlaid jade incense burner.
Fortunately, there was not much incense left in the furnace and the furnace body did not get hot.
"Your Highness, please spare your life. Your Majesty, please spare your life."
Dezhu got a slap in the face and retreated.
Hua La on the side tried to save him, but couldn't.
fool!
Which prince's birthday can be more noble than that of the Crown Prince?
Even if it is the prince's birthday, there is no reason for Long Live Lord to spend half the day with him.
So, what good luck did the fourth prince get this time?
After the prince finished smashing the people, he calmed down a little. After driving away the concubines, he said: "Hua La, send someone to the third elder brother's house to tell him that he must be able to host the fourth brother's birthday party tomorrow. Be more lively.”
The eldest brother's house.
"Seriously?" The eldest brother received the message from Dali Temple.
"Yes. The Ministry of Punishment was short of manpower, so it asked Dali Temple to provide secret support. Only then did the slave see that the person was caught at the east gate. It looked like he was a monk."
Monk?
For no reason, after Brother Si entered the Yangxin Hall, the Criminal Department teamed up with Dali Temple to carry out an arrest operation. They did not dare to delay for a moment in such a large-scale war.
The result was to capture a monk.
The staff behind the eldest brother suddenly said: "Do you know your name?"
The messenger shook his head.
Big brother: "Sir, do you have any ideas?"
The staff saluted: "Brother, I'm just guessing. Could this monk have the surname Zhu and the order of three?"
The people in the room suddenly changed their expressions, and after looking at each other, they all responded and affirmed.
The eldest brother couldn't sit still: "If he is such a rebellious person, why did the fourth brother just happen to bump into him?"
The staff member said: "Fourth Brother is always cautious. How could such a traitor be easily succeeded without careful deployment?"
The eldest brother immediately said: "Check! Check for me where the fourth brother has been these days. Especially the whereabouts of leaving the palace today."
"yes!"
Another staff member stepped forward: "Brother, the fourth elder brother has not left the palace yet. Tomorrow is the birthday of the fourth elder brother, so you can go and check it out."
The eldest brother nodded: "I will go. I will continue to follow up on news about Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment."
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
After Kangxi heard the news, he was very excited: "Okay, interrogation overnight! We must catch all his cronies and friends."
The left minister of the Ministry of Punishment responded and withdrew.
Kangxi then looked at the expression of his son in front of him.
After the fourth elder brother knocked on the door all night and reported the whereabouts of the third prince Zhu.
The emperor immediately ordered the Ministry of Punishment to quickly get the person, so that he could mobilize the power of the capital. He also left Si Age in Nuange, Yangxin Palace, and asked him to practice calligraphy and calligraphy.
The black lacquered mother-of-pearl inlaid dragon and dragon playing beads pattern small incense table is filled with various snacks.
The cup of Mingqian Longjing tea was always warm, and Liang Jiugong never let the cup empty.
While waiting for the news, the emperor reviewed the memorial himself and ignored the fourth elder brother.
At dawn, the emperor came back from his morning dynasty.
The fourth prince is still in his original position and has not moved.
He is now more determined and no longer has the fiery temper he had when he was a child.
Kangxi then scolded: "How did you serve me without arranging for the fourth elder brother to rest?"
Yinzhen stood up: "Khan Ama, my son is too nervous and can't sleep. Why don't you write more words."
Kangxi sat on the red sandalwood throne inlaid with jade clouds and dragons, and took off the black fox fur winter crown on his head: "I was in a hurry yesterday, so I didn't have time to ask in detail. You said it was the monk surnamed Zhu who took the initiative to find you because of you. Because of my deep love for Song Tianqing Ruci, I have joined forces with Dingshengxuan to set up a trap to lure you into the trap."
There was no rush at all, Khan Amma was deliberately trying to slow him down.
The fourth elder brother looked a little shy: "Yes, because my son's temporary hobby actually attracted the attention of bad people. My son is ashamed."
The emperor waved his hand: "If those villains hadn't been targeting you long ago... No, I think they are targeting you who can develop cowpox. How brave! Fortunately, my son is alert and lets Dingshengxuan give in at the slightest sign of trouble. You will be notified."
Fourth Brother remained silent and did not answer any more words.
The emperor then asked again: "That shopkeeper Lu, what's going on?"
Fourth Brother: "The shopkeeper of Dingshengxuan said that shopkeeper Lu took the initiative to plead guilty and left. Later, near the hometown of Huang Zhong, the successor of Song Ruci, he happened to be bumped into by his son's people who were exploring the remains of ancient ceramics, and he was brought back. I can't ask more. He had no clues and was only suspicious of the monk surnamed Zhu, so his son took it upon himself to release the shopkeeper Lu. Finally, he led out the traitor surnamed Zhu."
As for the fact that Brother Jiu secretly stole Shopkeeper Lu's auction items and gave them to him as gifts, there is no need to mention them.
No matter how small the details are, as long as the result is right, it doesn't matter what the details are.
Kangxi chuckled: "You are indeed brave. If you succeed in catching someone, it will be okay. If not... let's figure it out later."
It was not until after noon that Kangxi got up from a rest, and someone from the Ministry of Punishment sent good news.
Brother Si has not slept for two whole days.
He remained expressionless after hearing such good news.
Kangxi couldn't tell for a moment whether he was a fool, or whether he really had such a solid Taoist heart that his joy and anger could not be expressed in color.
Brother Si was actually relieved.
It was his decision to let Shopkeeper Lu go privately.
If Monk Zhu could not be successfully captured and he took the initiative to go to Yangxin Hall today and falsely reported information, he would be punished.
However, when he caught Shopkeeper Lu earlier, he rashly stabbed him in front of the emperor.
By then, if Monk Zhu gets wind of the news and runs away again, he will really be letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
Encountering this kind of thing is both an opportunity and a challenge for a prince.
If it works, it's a great achievement.
If you fail, you will be punished according to the law.
Brother Si and his staff discussed it for a long time, and finally took a risk.
Even though he had been in the Yangxin Hall for two days, his face was as calm as water, but in fact, the words he wrote were empty and weak, and his heart was extremely anxious.
When the emperor couldn't see it, he turned the white jade finger back and forth tens of thousands of times.
Emperor: "Okay, go back. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well in this Nuan Pavilion."
This level has been passed.
The fourth elder brother knelt down and saluted: "My son, please retire."
He was facing Kangxi, bent over and took two steps back.
Kangxi spoke again: "It's your birthday tomorrow, let's have a good get-together with the brothers."
Fourth elder brother: "..."
The blunt knife looked like it was cutting flesh, which frightened him.
He retreated to the door of the Yangxin Hall and was about to turn around when the emperor's calm and clear voice sounded again: "The sky-blue Ru porcelain is a good thing. I'll imitate it later and bring it to me for a look."
"Yes, my son obeys the order."
No punishment, escape intact.
All that's left is to wait for Khan Amma to reward him for his merits.
I didn’t even ask a question, and I didn’t know if that was what he was thinking.
