Chapter 336 Suspected Bribery

Seeing this, Mr. Shi was not dissatisfied, so he went to talk to Xunqiao and the few servants below to enforce the rules.

"Sister sent everyone away?"

At the other end of Jingren Palace, Yu Lian coaxed the fourth brother to take a bath and rest, and then came to Concubine Tong Jia. When he entered the door, he saw a familiar little girl in front of Concubine Tong Jia who was looking for news, so he asked casually.

The two of them had made an appointment to eat from a copper pot together at noon. They were sweating all over from eating the pot on a hot day, and their whole bodies were so wet. As a result, the two of them had only finished half of the meal when the imperial concubine was called over by Long Live Lord. The two of them

Naturally, it was useless, and I had to make up for it now.

Concubine Tong Jia dismissed the servants in front of her and pulled Yu Yuan to sit down next to her. She didn't know why she was happy, it showed on her face.

"I sent people away, but not much. I thought it was just two little nobles, and we didn't need to be so careful, so I just asked people to send Yuandong away. It's a coincidence. Then

Gao Juizheng picked Yuandong, this is not me targeting her, she asked for it herself!"

Yu Yuan, the girl from Yuandong, had a vague impression that she was probably a servant who worked with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She usually came a few times to give gifts, and she seemed to be a very well-behaved person. If the imperial concubine hadn't said so directly, she would still have

It's surprising that he wouldn't think of this obedient girl.

Yu Lian smiled and said "Er Qiao".

"Not counting the fact that we are targeting her, I just heard Wei Qi say that this Gao Jue is quite good at maneuvering, but in the past two or three days, she has spent her money all over the six palaces of the East and West, or inquired about the masters.

Her hobbies, or inquiring about some secret past events, are quite true to her uncle."

"She is used to talking in a flattering manner, and her face is very soft and approachable. It has only been a few days, but many of the slaves now think that the noble lady is a very promising young master."

"Hey! If I had known that noble people would be so generous, I wouldn't have stopped the people below me!"

"Her biological father, Gao Jue, is just a junior official. How much money can he make in a year? Only his uncle has the highest official position in the entire Gao family. I'm afraid it's not enough to rely solely on her uncle's financial support."

"With such a generous gesture, it is natural to ask a lot of questions. I asked Xiao Dou'er how many times a month the Long Live Lord comes to Yonghe Palace and what he likes to do when he comes. Ask Xiao Dou'er how I serve the Long Live Lord. I am so happy to call him Long Live Lord.

It shows that she puts a lot of effort into sleeping."

Why didn't she have anyone as flexible as Xiao Dou'er? It made her happy to say it.

As for suspecting the Gao family of taking bribes and filing a complaint just because the Gao family spent a lot of money, it seems that they are petty and intolerant.

Yu Chan paused, took a sip of tea, and then continued to laugh and said, "It's not like I'm making fun of the noble people's affairs, but it sounds incredible, and it's still confusing to say it now, Mr. Gao"

The behavior is really thought-provoking.

The sentence in "The Scholars": "Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver", although it has not yet come out, corruption does not happen overnight, and it is even said to have been a thing in all dynasties.

"Besides, she is really generous with her actions. I don't know what you did to reward people in the first place, sister. When I first came here, I had only a few pieces of silver, so I prepared a small hundred taels, and also some small and beautiful golden melon seeds and gold leaves for you.

There are several boxes of common gold and jade jewelry, but in just over two months, all the scraps of silver have been used up."

When he heard that Yu Lian's man had done something wrong by accepting the noble man's favor, he immediately slapped his own thigh with his palm, as if he had missed hundreds of taels of silver.

"Xiao Dou'er was taught all kinds of tricks by Wei Qi. He accepted someone's gold bracelet but didn't answer properly. He said that Long Live Lord likes pea cakes and lotus paste cakes. He said that I could sing and dance. That's why he waited for Long Live Lord. He came and wanted to come this time.

"Reply, it's just that his collection of people's things did not comply with the rules I set for them, so Wei Qi brought Xiao Dou'er to confess."

Concubine Tong Jia smiled, but she couldn't figure it out after laughing: "What do you think this noble person has in mind? Call her smart, her methods and thoughts are too obvious and stupid, but if you call her stupid,

She is more clever than anyone else, among those selected this year, she is the only one who knows how to win over slaves."

"Sister, I don't know yet. When I woke up at noon, I saw Wei Qi kneeling in the outer room with Xiao Dou'er, who was only nine years old in my palace. I was surprised. When I asked, I found out that this noble man's hand had reached to my side.

When Yonghe Palace came, she asked someone to give Xiao Dou'er a pair of red gold bracelets."

The imperial concubine is right to the point, and Yu Lian also doubts this. However, the little girl has just entered the palace, and although everything looks ugly, to be honest, who is not like this when she first enters the palace?

, it’s not really a big mistake to think about right or wrong.

In fact, both Concubine Tong Jia and Yu Yan know that there are too many people in the court who are not aware of their subordinates, and accepting bribes has almost become a common practice. If there is no such "humanity and sophistication", it seems that it will be done.

It's no longer an errand.

Imperial Concubine Tong Jia didn't know that such a thing existed. In the afternoon, someone came to bribe her, a second-class girl from Jingren Palace. However, her rule was severe. The last one who had been cheated on her was already dead, and now she has no chance.

People dare to accept good things from others. She just heard someone talk about it and let it go.

"Let me see, the Gao family is so dirty in private, but they can still be so appreciated by Long Live Lord."

"Civil officials are not like military generals, who can be rewarded for their merits every time they win a battle. Whenever they win a battle, the local gentry and old clan often support the army and donate money and materials to show their reputation. So you see what we have here

Women who are born in a general family usually have no trouble spending their money in daily life."

It is expected that Emperor Kangxi is like Ming Jing'er in his heart, but it is not yet a peaceful and prosperous era, and the Qing Dynasty is not yet stable enough for Emperor Kangxi to let go of corruption, so it is not easy to bring up this matter.

"Right now, Mr. Long Live has just set up the South Study Room because he is anxious to gain power. He is not interested in appraising the treasures when hiring people. We cannot say anything about the Gao family. We are also afraid of delaying Mr. Long Live. We just have to be careful about the harem. If Gao Gao

The family really doesn’t know how to restrain themselves, and I won’t just sit idly by and ignore it.”

Concubine Tong Jia sighed lightly, knowing that she had to worry too much. After thinking about the behavior of the noble Huizi, she still felt that she couldn't see this person clearly. However, the days are long, and there are opportunities to get along with people. Don't say far away, I will be the next person tomorrow.

I have to come to Jingren Palace to pay my respects, so there is no need to rush.

Yu Lian and Tong Jia are not people who are looking for trouble. They just chatted a few words. They happily ate fish fillets, sea cucumbers, thin noodles and several plates of side dishes. While talking, they accidentally ate the tops.

, the two simply walked around together again, pressing the key point before returning to their respective places.
