The person brought by Zhou Quan was actually Ah Shou, the chief steward of the Bo Qi family.
As soon as Lao Shisan saw Ah Shou, he understood that it was Bo Qi who wanted to secretly report to the corrupt officials in Henan.
"How did you intercept him?" Lao Shisan turned to ask Yuzhu.
Yuzhu smiled and glanced at Zhou Quan, who immediately handed over his hand and said: "Back to the Thirteenth Master, my boss was worried about spoiling the Fourth Master's important matter, so he specially sent people to guard Taierzhuang to see if he could pick up a big fish.
.It’s also a coincidence that this Shou happens to be going to Henan.”
There are only two roads from the capital to Henan. One is to take the Grand Canal, go to Taierzhuang and then transfer overland to Kaifeng; the other is to take the land route, passing through Baoding Prefecture in Zhili, and going south to Kaifeng Prefecture in Henan.
Yuzhu actually has manpower deployed on both roads. So far, only Ah Shou has been intercepted.
Old Thirteen sighed heavily, cupped his hands and thanked him: "If you hadn't been careful, you would have almost ruined Fourth Brother's important event."
Naturally, it was impossible for Yuzhu to accept Lao Shisan's gift. He sidestepped and said very sincerely: "I only caught Ah Shou, but I don't know if there are any fish that slipped through the net?"
After handing Ah Shou to Lao Shisan, Yuzhu casually made an excuse and left.
When dealing with the fourth child, Yuzhu was extremely cautious.
Even if Ah Shou was arrested, he was not interrogated to avoid knowing too much.
After carefully scrutinizing Ah Shou, Old Thirteen found out that Ah Shou arrived at Taierzhuang on horseback. Because he was far away from Beijing, Ah Shou slacked off and stopped talking. A man named Yuzhu was arrested.
Upright.
That night, Lao Shisan left.
Before leaving, Lao Shisan looked at Yuzhu deeply, bowed his head to the ground, and said only a few words.
"I won't say thank you for my own business. This gift is to thank you on behalf of fourth brother."
After sending Old Thirteen away, Zhou Quan gently shook his folding fan and said meaningfully: "Dong Weng, Thirteenth Master and Fourth Master are both too fat to wear a pair of trousers. Since you are a great kindness to him, why don't you help him to the end?"
?”
Yuzhu shook his head slightly and said, "Fourth Master is suspicious by nature. If I am too enthusiastic, I will make him suspicious."
After dealing with Lao Si for a long time, Yuzhu understood 80% of Lao Si.
As for Lao Si, he is actually also a temperamental person.
He thanked you for something and you accepted it. He was very happy at that time and felt that he had not treated you badly.
However, please note that it is often easy to overdo the benefits that Laosi gives you.
This is too much. Yuzhu didn't quite understand it before, but in the past year, he has slowly understood it.
The fourth child is actually more face-saving than Kangxi.
You have helped him a lot, and he is really grateful to you. The subtext is that I, the fourth child, will never treat someone who has helped me badly!
However, if he is overly grateful, it means that he thinks that he has repaid your favor.
This sincerity cannot be ignored!
To put it bluntly, it is an extremely overbearing thought that causes trouble. He can go too far, but you can't get carried away and go too far.
When he is thinking about you, he can pamper you as much as he wants and give you all the good things. However, you cannot be arrogant and blindly go too far.
From the forty-fifth year of Kangxi's reign to the fifty-third year of Kangxi's reign, a problem that has always troubled Yuzhu has finally been completely solved.
Understanding Lao Si's personality will play a vital role in Yuzhu's future layout.
The old man only knows how to win over the meritorious group of the Manchurian Army, but he doesn't know how powerful the Nine Admirals and the Fengtai Commandery are.
This person's short-sightedness is really outrageous and not worth worrying about.
The general Wang, Lao Fourteen, clearly controlled hundreds of thousands of troops in the west. When he returned to Beijing to report on his duties, he did not find a position with Kangxi's eunuchs. Instead, he asked Lao Jiu to secretly communicate with him.
Lao Jiu is also a short-sighted rat. He has nearly ten million taels of silver in his hands, but he doesn't know how to bribe several high eunuchs in the palace.
On the other hand, Yuzhu got in touch with Xiao Zizi not long after he entered the palace as an errand.
As Yuzhu's status and power increased day by day, he had been quietly making arrangements in the palace and Changchun Garden.
How did Liang Jiugong die?
If others don't understand, how can Yuzhu not understand?
This kid Liang Jiugong was really tired of life. After the restoration of Prince Yinreng, he often went to the mansion of Jiumen Admiral Tuo Heqi to attend luxurious banquets.
To be honest, Yuzhu wanted to kill Liang Jiugong for more than just one day?
However, if you can't kill the snake, it will easily bite you.
Yuzhu was a very patient oriole. He found the right moment and launched a fatal blow to Liang Jiugong.
Taking advantage of his early knowledge of history, Yuzhu knew better than anyone else that Zhao Chang, the former manager of the Imperial Affairs Office and the current manager of the Imperial Palace, was actually the fourth child.
The bowl of ginseng soup that Kangxi drank before his death was made by Zhao Chang himself.
However, what Zhao Chang never expected was that Lao Si had just dealt with Lao Ba and Lao San, and then he would attack him.
At this time, it was less than an hour and a half before Kangxi's death.
In the old TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty", after the fourth son got the throne, he immediately returned home and tried to clean up Wu Sidao, which was the interpretation of killing Zhao Chang.
Zhao Chang's dream of continuing to serve as the chief steward of the imperial court is simply a fool's errand.
This is just like He Zhongtang who likes fantasy.
In his later years, especially after he abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, Qianlong used the "clever" He Shen to suppress Emperor Jiaqing in all aspects.
He Zhongtang helped Qianlong and did countless bad things that harmed the interests of Emperor Jiaqing. How could Emperor Jiaqing spare him lightly after Qianlong's death?
Old Thirteen never took away half of the cloud when he came or went. He received gifts from Bo Qi who was soft-hearted and was at a loss.
Today, the most powerful person in the palace is Concubine De.
As Lao Ba gradually became marginalized, Concubine De's youngest son Lao Si gradually showed his prominence. How could Shandong Governor Jiang Chenxi and others not fawn over Bo Qi?
Yuzhu's uncle, Concubine Xiao Tongjia, lost her authority over the Sixth Palace at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, Yuzhu just pretended not to see it and never said a kind word for his aunt in front of Kangxi.
Yuzhu's great-aunt lived an astonishingly long life and did not pass away until the Qianlong period.
As long as Little Concubine Tong stays strong, she will be the greatest help to Yuzhu in the future.
Lao Shisan went to Henan in advance to seize evidence, and Yuzhu simply let Bo Qi stay in Taierzhuang for three days.
After setting off again, the imperial envoy's large team successfully arrived at Xuzhou, an important town in northern Jiangsu.
Xuzhou, known as Pengcheng in ancient times, has a civilization history of more than 6,000 years and a city-building history of 2,600 years. It is said that "the emperors of nine dynasties were born in Xuzhou", and is also known as "the hometown of Peng Zu, the hometown of Liu Bang, and the former capital of Xiang Yu".
At this time, Xuzhou was still only a Zhili prefecture under the direct jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province in the south of the Yangtze River, and had not yet been promoted to Xuzhou Prefecture.
The current magistrate of Xuzhou, Ha Xing, is another Ama of Yuzhu, the Aha next to Qingtai.
When the only young master arrived in Xuzhou, how could Ha Xing not serve him diligently?
"Slave Ha Xing, please be safe, young master." As soon as Ha Xing saw Yu Zhu, he knelt down and performed the family ceremony.
"Get up. Sit down, please have some tea." Yuzhu treated the people around Qingtai a lot more affectionately than he did Longkodo's disciples.
After all, there are some differences between a biological father and a biological uncle.
After offending Longkodo, Yuzhu cried and knelt down, so he just passed away.
If Qingtai is unhappy, it will be much more troublesome than dealing with Long Ke.
After Ha Xing sat down sideways, he lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "My dear master, before you came south, the old master wrote a personal letter, ordering the slave to serve you well. If there is anything wrong with you, I will strip him off."
Got my slave's skin off."
When Yuzhu heard this, he couldn't help but secretly nodded. Qingtai treated him, and he really had nothing to say.
Ha Xing is a typical member of his family, so Yuzhu no longer acted like an imperial envoy, but gave direct instructions: "I have just become a filial piety and can't touch women, so don't bother with that."
"Hey." Ha Xing quickly knelt down and took the order.
"Bo Qihao's mouth is up to you to make arrangements. Anyway, the big salt merchants in Xuzhou have a lot of money." When Yuzhu said this, Ha Xing immediately bowed down and whispered, "I'll be honest with you, young master."
, my slave has also picked up some good things during these years of staying in Xuzhou, and I have prepared them for you and my old master."
Zhou Quan, who was standing aside, could not help but shake his folding fan and smile slightly. This was when he was really talking to himself, he was so straightforward.
It has been seventy years since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. However, the Hanization of the banner people is still not complete enough, and remnants of the old slavery system can be found everywhere.
In fact, after the Qing army entered the pass, the meritorious nobles of the Manchurian army at all levels would leave a few minions behind wherever they fought to help them control local power.
These minions are scattered throughout the country and hold varying amounts of real power.
This is a typical case of occupying the top of the hill and grabbing the territory.
In order to express their loyalty to their masters, slaves collect good things from various places every year and offer them to their masters for their enjoyment.
This close relationship between master and slave may not sound good on the surface, but in fact, it is a community of interests that benefits both sides.
This is the same as in the Dream of Red Mansions, when Zhuangtou Wu Jinxiao manages Zhuangzi for Jia Zhen and pays tribute to various local products, poultry and silver every year. It is actually the same nature.
In modern terms, vested interest groups use their minions to weave a blood-sucking web and exploit the people layer by layer.
The next morning, Yuzhu led Zhou Quan, accompanied by Ha Xing, to the streets of Xuzhou.
After eating dog meat from Peixian County, drinking pure mutton soup, and tasting bundled fragrant hoof, Ha Xing led Yuzhu to the Zhulin Temple in Luotuo Mountain.
However, after entering Zhulin Temple, Yuzhu realized that all he could see were bhikkhunis.
Only then did he realize that Ha Xing had gone too far in flattering him and actually led him into the bhikshuni's exclusive dojo.
Zhou Quan had long seen the fishy nature of it, but he deliberately didn't say it.
The bannermen and dignitaries in the capital have two major hobbies: one is Longyang's young husband's buttocks, and the other is the alternative taste of bhikshuni.
Ha Xing thought that Yuzhu, a bannerman noble with a distinguished family background, must also like this tune, so he brought him over.
Sun Chengyun is a typical subordinate, and he really likes this style.
Yuzhu's vision is very high, and ordinary women cannot get into his eyes.
Even after entering Zhulin Temple, Yuzhu never showed any special expression, which greatly disappointed Ha Xing.
This deadlock lasted until a person suddenly appeared in front of Yuzhu.
(PS: There will be more updates in the early morning.)
