Chapter 636: Crackdown (Part 1)

Although the affairs of the Rehe Palace are under the jurisdiction of the Office of Internal Affairs, the general manager of the Rehe Palace has military power in his hands. The third-rank military officer is short of the same rank as Cao Yong.

This is why officials on the palace can be independent of the internal affairs system and form their own faction.

He is currently the head of the Rehe Palace, named Qi Min, and is a red-belt Jueluo, with the title of the general of the country. He was previously appointed as the leader of the Heilongjiang River and was only promoted to the head of the Rehe Palace last autumn.

Whether it is his identity or title, he is not inferior to Cao Yong. Therefore, Cao Yong came over, so he did not take Cao Yong very much in his initial courtesy.

Cao Yong asked to reduce the repair costs, but he was quite dissatisfied with it, but he knew that the Cao family was in the limelight and it was not easy to offend too much, so he endured it.

I thought that the bridge would return to the bridge and the road would return to the road, and I would be done with a polite approach.

When he knew Cao Yong's name as "Shancai Boy", he was also quite moved, wondering whether to find an opportunity to make friends and see if he could have more wealth.

However, when he saw Cao Yong, he looked at his young and calm expression and no humility, Qi Min felt a little embarrassed.

He was a little arrogant at heart and did not want to bow his head to a slave who was born in a coat, and then he immediately stopped thinking about getting close. The two of them had only seen one in the yamen, and he deliberately or unintentionally avoided Cao Yong in other kung fu.

Early in the morning, Qi Min was dressed in full grade level and went to Chunwang Mansion Garden to pay tribute to the Sixteenth Prince, and felt very distressed.

The sixteenth prince was ordered to go to Rehe and should have stayed at the Summer Resort, but Cao Yong was left here. What is the reason?

Isn’t it just showing off to others, fearing that others don’t know that he has been with the prince?

It doesn't matter if Cao Yong is like this, but Qi Min is suffering. He dare not ignore it. He sent two hundred soldiers overnight to guard the guards outside the garden of Prince Chun's Mansion.

Now, Qi Min comes over and in addition to paying homage to the Sixteenth Prince, he also plans to ask him to move to the palace.

After waiting in the front hall for a while, he drank three cups of tea, but he still didn't see the Sixteenth Prince. The Sixteenth Prince was exhausted. If he got up late, he could still understand. Why, as the master, Cao Yong was so negligent?

The more Qi Min thought about it, the more he felt neglected, and he had scolded Cao Yong several times in his heart.

Qin Guiyuan, the eldest son of the garden, spoke with him. Seeing that Qi Min's face became increasingly ugly, he asked him to sit down and come out by himself, wanting to urge him.

As soon as he left the front hall, he saw the Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong coming together. Qin Gui hurriedly bowed and said, "Sixteenth Prince, the prince, and the general manager Qi are waiting in the hall."

Qi Min heard the movement in the room and stood up from her seat to greet her. She saw the Sixteenth Prince wearing a regular suit and coming in from the door. He hurriedly shook his sleeves and said, "Slave Qi Min has seen the Sixteenth Master, and I pay my respects to the Sixteenth Master."

"Okay, get up. In this blink of an eye, you have been out of Kyoto for more than ten years. I still remember the situation when I followed you out of the palace to play." Speaking of this, the sixteenth prince turned to Cao Yong and said, "Cao Yong, don't you know? Qi Min was also a servant in the guard office before, and later released him as an official. When he left the capital, you hadn't come yet, but when he heard Dethei mentioned it. Back then, Qi Min was better than Dethei. This relationship was good, and it took a few days to get a chance to compete with you two. Look at whether Jiang is old or the younger wave of the Yangtze River pushes the older wave."

Looking at Qi Min, who was in his forties and had a slightly fat body, Cao Yong really remembered the sentence "You should not behave like a person."

Qi Min was a little careless when she heard the words of the Sixteenth Prince.

Could it be that Cao Yong was dissatisfied with him and chewed his tongue in front of the Sixteenth Prince?

The sixteenth prince had already sat down, rubbed his left forehead, and inhaled in pain.

Only then did Qi Min see that the Sixteenth Prince frowned and the forehead was purple. He was frightened and hurriedly said, "Sixteenth Prince, Jade Body? This is..."

When the sixteenth prince saw him asking, he looked a little embarrassed and glanced at Cao Yong next to him.

Cao Yong was also wronged. Who would have thought that after they got drunk last night, they were placed in the study. The Sixteenth Prince didn’t know what he dreamed of, and he was sleeping uneasy and was beaten.

Cao Yong felt so crowded that he gave up his head and ran to the end of the kang to sleep. When he got up early, he saw that the sixteenth prince didn't know when he ran to the ground, and his forehead turned like this.

Qi Min followed the gaze of the Sixteenth Prince and looked at Cao Yong, thinking in his heart that it was impossible that Cao Yong had injured the Sixteenth Prince without any effort, right? That would be a rebellious person.

Cao Yong left a position to Qi Min on the right hand of the Sixteenth Prince.

Seeing Qi Min looking at him, Cao Yong smiled and made a gesture of asking him to sit down.

Qi Min was still confused, and then heard the Sixteenth Prince snorting coldly and said, "What else can I do? I'm just about to settle the score with you. How do you manage the matter? This is a mess of people under my jurisdiction. Why do everyone come? Seeing that the injury on my head is because I met a villain last night. You are so brave and so relaxed, aren't you afraid of mistakes when the Holy Lord visited Rehe?"

Qi Min was shocked when she heard this, and had turned over and knelt down, saying, "I didn't expect that a murderer would disturb the Sixteenth Master. I deserve to die. I will let someone thoroughly investigate this matter."

Seeing that he made such a statement, the sixteenth prince nodded with satisfaction and said, "Putting down public security is the responsibility of your general manager, and there is no need to say this. There is no city wall in the Rehe River, so you will inevitably be mixed with fish and dragons. You should pay attention at that time. Just clean up with your heart. If you can bring those lawless people to justice as soon as possible, I will ask for me in front of the emperor."

Qi Min responded respectfully, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Master Sixteenth, where was the attack? If a slave is a murderer, how should he start?"

When the sixteenth prince heard this, he frowned and said, "I saw them running away from the city two miles outside the city. The black scarf was masked and looked very sneaky. He listened to the voice, which was not like a local accent. Recently, there were any suspicious people from outside, and all of them were investigated thoroughly. I don't believe it, but I can't catch them. When I got here, they had chased me. The medicine killed the two dogs in the garden here. It was really rampant. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent someone to send you a letter overnight and asked you to arrange a guard."

At the end of the day, the Sixteenth Prince was already gritting his teeth and full of anger.

Qi Min felt something was wrong before, and after hearing this story, he never dared to be suspicious again. Thinking that the Sixteenth Prince almost had an accident last night, he was almost in a state of shock.

It is absolutely necessary that he expressed his intention and asked the Sixteenth Prince to move to the palace.

When the sixteenth prince heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "You have only such a little success. Could it be that my life will not be saved if I don't go to the palace? Is it that the king's land in the world? Could it be that my family lives in the garden? Qi Min, you can't protect me?"

"I don't dare, but the Sixteenth Master is noble..." Qi Min was in a hurry and saw that the Sixteenth Prince insisted on his own opinion, but he didn't know what to say. He turned around and looked at Cao Yong and said, "Mr. Cao, do you think you are persuading..."

Cao Yong showed seriousness on his face and said to the Sixteenth Prince: "Sixth Master, General Manager Qi is very saying, "Sixth Master, let's move!"

"Looking!" The sixteenth prince glared at Cao Yong and said to Qi Min: "By the way, I'll let someone clean up the Yunrong Hall. The master has occupied this place. Princess He Rui will move his daughter to the palace in the past few days. In a few days, there will be Mongolian kings who will arrive first, including female relatives, and He Rui will come forward to entertain him first."

Qi Min responded, knowing it was unusual.

Looking at Cao Yong's solemn expression and the arrangements made by the Sixteenth Prince against Prince Herui, it seems that the Sixteenth Prince was attacked.

Qi Min knew that his free life was over.

He said goodbye from the Garden and left with some anxiety and hurried away.

Cao Yong looked at the Sixteenth Prince and said, "Since the Sixteenth Master really wants to stay here, then go to the inner courtyard to live. The front yard guest rooms are not quite spacious."

The sixteenth prince rubbed his stomach and said, "It's up to you to arrange it. Now it's important to eat. I'm so hungry. Let's go begging for your wife!"

While talking, the two came to the inner garden together.

Chu Yu was talking to Cao Song. Because it was too late last year, Cao Song was not convenient to talk to his sister-in-law after paying his respects. After dinner this morning, I came here to see my eldest niece, and accompanied my sister-in-law to talk about family matters.

"Niece, you uncle sixteen, I'm starving to death! No matter what, get something that can fill your stomach." As soon as I entered the room, the prince 16 shouted, without any sense of being an uncle.

Cao Song glanced at the forehead of the Sixteenth Prince, then looked at Cao Yong, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Sixteenth Prince and his slave brother were sleeping. Why? Are you still fighting in a dream?"

"Dare to joke with me? You're so nice, don't you ride a horse enough, right? Why don't you ask you to return to the Saint Drive and report to you? You'll have the pleasure of riding a horse again?" The sixteenth prince sat on the kang, looking at Cao Song with a smile.

After hearing this, Cao Song begged for mercy: "I don't dare to do it anymore. Master Sixteen, don't interfere. His body is stiff, and now he is still a little unable to close his legs."

Chu Yu had already stood up and ordered someone to go to the kitchen.

Because Cao Yong was a little dry because of drinking last night, he poured two cups of warm tea and handed it to the sixteenth prince one and one by himself.

After drinking all three mouthfuls, the prescription said to Cao Song: "I asked Xiaoman to take the medicine yesterday. Did you apply it? That medicine is the prescription from the Imperial Hospital. It is the best way to reduce swelling and remove blood stasis."

Cao Song nodded and said, "I used it last night. It worked very well. I just talked to my sister-in-law."

When he was speaking, Chu Yu had already found a small white porcelain jar and applied medicine to Prince Sixteen's forehead. Prince Sixteen was so painful that he bared his teeth, and it was so hard to bear when he saw it.

Cao Song was afraid that the Sixteenth Prince would be uneasy, so he was busy with excuses that he had something to do in the front yard and went out first.

"How did you knock it? I really fell to the ground with a slight turn, so I didn't knock it, right?" Cao Yong was a little worried when he saw the Sixteenth Prince like this.

Speaking of this, the Sixteenth Prince remembered something and did not take the previous words, and asked, "Who is living in the right yard of this study? Why is it so vague? It seems that I heard a woman crying. My grandfather was thirsty in the middle of the night and got up to look for water. When he heard the movement was wrong, he wanted to go over and take a look, but was tripped by the threshold."

"Right courtyard? That Xiaoying..." Cao Yong was worried about the "reward" matter these days, and he forgot that there was such a person in the front yard. He raised his head and asked Chu Yu, "How is that little girl injured? Did you ask her if she has any relatives?"

"I went to see it yesterday. The wound was not deep and it had scabbed. I was just frightened and fell into water again. I was still a little inactive. Relatives... There was an uncle in the countryside who sold her back then. He lifted it up and just cried... I saw it, it was only fourteen this year..." Chu Yu replied.

When the sixteenth prince heard this, he became a little curious and asked, "What's going on? Is there a beauty in trouble hidden here? Is it a wound or another one falling into the water?"

Cao Yong told Guo's story, and the Sixteenth Prince couldn't help but be stunned.

After a while, he stomped his feet hard and said, "I didn't expect there would be such a strange woman in the world, but it's a pity that I can't see her in person. If I could have known Guo earlier, I would have regarded her as my best friend." He sighed and said, "Where is the mourning hall? I want to go and worship him."

"In the temple in the west of the city, I heard that many scholars have gone to the silver donated by the gentry in the city." Cao Yong thought of the butler who said this yesterday, and replied.

"The beauty is so poor!" The sixteenth prince shook his head and said, "I want to go and see Xiaoying. It is not only raised by Guo, but also influenced by his eyes and eyes, but also a bit extraordinary."

While speaking, the Sixteenth Prince was already anxious and was about to get up and go to the front yard.

Cao Yong hurriedly stopped him and said, "What's the hurry? I'll have dinner first. Who was shouting that he was hungry just now?"

At this moment, Chu Yu had already brought someone to arrange the meal.

The sixteenth prince laughed twice, took the hot towel handed by Chu Yu himself, and wiped his hands.

Both of them were empty, so they drank a few bowls of hot porridge with side dishes.

On Chu Yu's side, because the sixteenth prince said he wanted to see Xiaoying just now, he asked Xi Cai to take someone to the front yard first to say it, so that it would save you some time to be not cheap.

As soon as he put down his chopsticks, the sixteenth prince couldn't sit still. He patted Cao Yong's arm and said, "Hurry up and take me over and take a look! No matter what Xiaoying does, it would be good to listen to more anecdotes of Guo's life."

Seeing that he was so anxious, Cao Yong also put down his chopsticks and came to the front yard with him.

Xiaoying had already gotten up and washed up, but her eyes were still swollen and she couldn't hide her sadness.

The last time Cao Yong saw her, her little face was dirty, covering her original appearance. This time he saw her, she was a little stunning.

The 14th, five-year-old girl has a slightly slender body, fair and lovely skin, and her tears and slightly trembling shoulders. She looks very pleasing.

Cao Yong couldn't help but be amazed, and even the Sixteenth Prince was a little surprised.

Xiaoying knelt on the ground, but was frightened and had a fight with her teeth.

Cao Yong withdrew his gaze and said, "Get up. How have you been resting these days? If you have any discomfort, just tell the nanny here." Having said this, he pointed to the Sixteenth Prince and said, "This is Sixteenth Prince. After hearing about your sister, I feel admiration. I know you are here, so I come to see you."

"The little girl is still good, thank you for your husband's kindness. My sister's side, my sister's side... Today is my sister's seventh day, and my daughter wants to go to worship..." At the end of her speech, her tears were already like broken beads, falling down.

"The Zhao family of three and the bride have been killed by the murderer. People still think that the dead bride is you. If you show up rashly, it will definitely cause criticism from those who are good. The dead are gone, and I think she doesn't want you to live a difficult life. It's just a form. If you want to go, just calm down and go again." Cao Yong said.

Xiaoying nodded and said with tears in her eyes: "God has eyes. In recent years, my sister has been in the eyes of my daughter. When my sister was killed, in addition to seeing her, Zhao Po also saw her in person, but she was dissatisfied. She just covered up the truth and protected her son. She also discussed killing her daughter to silence her, regardless of her sister's offerings over the years..."
