He was not partial to Longkodo, but realized that Elundai's move was inappropriate. It was not a matter of being on good terms with his cousins, but a matter of violating the emperor's order.
The emperor's order was to disband the troops, but Orundai wanted the people to be killed immediately.
The tenth elder brother also thought of this and couldn't help but frown and look at Su Nu. Su Nu was a sensible person and would not let anyone really die in the clan's mansion. Sure enough, at this time, Su Nu gave some instructions to the people next to him.
The person next to him came to the front and said to the two people: "This man has to leave the capital. Please hold back your strength and don't delay on your way!"
The two men agreed, and when they fought again, the noise was not that loud, and flesh and blood were not flying everywhere. When the elder brother saw this, he couldn't help being startled and looked at Sonu.
He didn't understand why Sonu didn't stop him at the beginning, but stopped him halfway.
The third elder brother was standing by and explained in a low voice: "He Xini lived up to the emperor's orders and gave Elundai face."
The tenth prince's eyes fell on Longkodo.
Longkodo's head was drooping and he had fainted...
There was such a loud commotion in the yard that even the Yamen next door heard it, let alone the clan's mansion.
Longkodo was a relative of the emperor, and he was imprisoned in a quiet room, which was a secluded corner of the clan mansion, similar to the place where the third elder brother was imprisoned before.
When I arrived at Li Si'er's place, she was a concubine, and she was directly in a cell.
There are iron chains on her wrists and ankles, and the bruises on her face have faded a lot. However, she is missing two front teeth, which makes her look a little weird. There are only three points of color left, and no one remembered to give them to her.
When I changed my clothes, my tapestry gown was already crumpled into a ball.
She took off the ring in her hand, handed it to the maid next to her who was eating melon seeds, and said, "What's going on outside? Is our third master out yet?"
The woman took the ring, bit it in her mouth, and her eyes fell on the precious gold bracelet on Li Si'er's wrist.
I didn't dare to mess with her the past few days, so I was being polite, so I don't need to worry about it in the future.
It's a pity that this person's outfit is in everyone's eyes, so it's not good for everyone to have a share.
She laughed and said: "Come out, come out, this is just a caning!"
After hearing this, Li Si'er felt distressed and said: "Oh, the emperor's punishment is too severe." The woman was startled, and she did not expect that she would dare to complain to the emperor.
Li Si'er was still nagging and said: "Our third master is the uncle of the country. Even if there is something wrong, we should definitely redeem it? Why do some people really dare to use the whip?"
The woman snorted coldly and said angrily: "Why can't you defeat the emperor's master's will? What's so valuable about a citizen's son? This is the clan's mansion, the county king, and it's not uncommon for Baylor to be whipped!
After hearing this, Li Si'er held back his heartache and said, "Then if our master is whipped, can he go out? Let's forget about this?"
She was imprisoned for a few days, thinking that her fault was that she offended the royal family, and did not even think of targeting Jueluo, who had disappeared last year.
But the woman knew about Li Si'er's crime, so she said with some intention of watching the excitement: "If you can go out, send it directly to Ninggu Pagoda. It's a pity. You won't be able to see each other again in this life and death!"
Li Si'er said sharply: "What Ning Guta? Our father has been released!"
Just then, other women's messengers came over. After hearing Li Si'er's movements, they said to the person in front: "Are you still confused?"
The person in front sneered: "You still think you are a rich grandma and daydream!"
The man at the back was more lively and looked kind, and said to Li Si'er: "You are 'offending your dignity with your humbleness'. We discussed hanging, and the emperor agreed. It's better to live in peace when the child lands on the ground for execution!"
The blood on Li Si'er's face faded. He looked at the servant woman, trembling his lips, and said with horror for a long time: "I am from a lowly background, and I don't have all the rules. I didn't mean to offend Jiu Fujin. I should have been beaten or punished." , why do you need to hang him?"
The servant girl shook her head and said: "It's not the crime. It's you who forced the concubine's wife who was born in the red belt to death. You must pay with your life. Not to mention your background, even the direct wife who committed this evil will die. Although the red belt is better than A yellow belt may not be as valuable as gold, but you are also a member of the royal family, so you cannot die in vain!"
Li Si'er's body felt weak, he really didn't expect this crime.
There seemed to be a figure hanging high in front of her eyes, wearing a silver-red wedding dress and flag shoes embroidered with the word "Fu". The courtyard of the sect's mansion became calm.
The execution of one hundred lashes has been completed.
There is no good spot on Longkodo's body from his shoulders to his ankles. The north wind is blowing.
Wearing quilted clothes, everyone feels the cold wind.
The naked Longkodo shuddered, woke up leisurely, and glanced at the faces of everyone in the yard. The eldest brother, the third brother, the tenth brother, Sunubeizi...
There are also two princes, two generals of the clan whose names they know, and the rest are the clan officials who are unfamiliar to them.
Longkodo's expression was dull, but he remembered the shame of today.
His eyes stayed on the eldest brother and Sonu for a few more seconds.
One of these two people sent him to the clan's mansion, and the other blocked the outside news and deliberately misled him. Longkodo gritted his back molars and lowered his eyes.
His reaction was in everyone's eyes.
The third elder brother almost jumped and said: "What is that look in his eyes? Is this because he is holding a grudge? He is arrogant and has violated the law. What does it have to do with us?"
The eldest brother is not surprised, men are embarrassed.
He came here specifically for this matter, so as to prevent Longkodo from resenting others. Since he sent Longkodo to the clan mansion, he was not afraid of being resented.
Brother Ten's eyes turned cold.
Even now, there is still no fear in Longkodo's eyes, only resentment. He really can't stay.
Otherwise, there will be consequences.
It was not easy to intervene, but Erundai's "management" was just right... Longkodo was dragged back to the quiet room.
The eldest elder brother and the third elder brother also came out of the clan mansion.
The third elder brother regretted a little and said to the eldest elder brother: "We shouldn't have come to see this excitement, these are villains, they must hate us.
The eldest brother said disapprovingly: "Let him go and ignore it."
The third elder brother pointed in the direction of Shengjing and said: "Then the old man is still here. If the guarantee is not enough, when will Khan Amma allow him to return to the capital?"
When the time comes, even if they are princes, they will not be able to directly confront those who rely on their elders. The eldest brother is not worried.
Three, there is no chance within five years. Otherwise, if you just punish your son and do favors for me, it will be child's play. Three, even if the Tong family can come back in five years, they will have to worry about whether the princes and brothers hold grudges.
In the clan's mansion, the tenth elder brother looked at Sunu and said, "If you want to go to Ninggu Pagoda, should you start earlier? For thousands of miles, the weather is getting colder and colder. It's better to arrive early..."
Su Nu glanced at Brother Ten, nodded and said, "We have arranged for the escort to leave the capital tomorrow morning."
Today we have to arrange for people to inspect Longkodo's house.
After the tenth elder brother inquired clearly, he left the clan mansion and went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It happened to be lunch time, so he could tell Brother Ninth about Longkodo's embarrassment today, which made Brother Ninth feel comfortable.
The Ninth Prince's meal boxes have just been delivered. There are also six lunch boxes today.
It turns out that the Prince's Mansion slaughtered a pig today and gave away two pots, one was a pork ribs, vermicelli and cabbage pot, and the other was a braised pot, as well as minced white meat with garlic, grilled elbows, roasted pig tongue, mixed pig ears and other dishes.
There were also various small green vegetables, vegetables mixed with soup stock, spinach with walnuts, etc. Brother Jiu looked at the quantity and realized that it was more than enough for three people.
It's enough for five people.
He hesitated whether to call the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers. The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers had already entered the door.
Seeing the food being put on the table, Brother Fourteen smiled and said: "Haha, Brother Ninth said every day that there would be no dinner the next day, but there is still more, and it really comes at the right time!"
Brother Jiu proudly said: "It's not a banquet, it's just home-cooked food. What's better is that it's a pig raised on our own farm. The meat tastes fresh."
Compared with seafood banquet noodles, this pork banquet is now more in line with everyone's taste.
After eating a lot, his stomach was full. Brother Fourteen took a piece of white meat with garlic paste and praised: "Brother Ninth, this pork is really different from the pork in the palace. How can it be so fat? There are three fingers of fat on it."
!
Brother Jiu said: "The pigs raised outside are often fed with grass. In winter, there is no grass, and the soup is clear and waterless. The pigs in our village are fed rice bran all year round, and their food is still thick and mushy. How can they not get fat?"
"
And there is an extra meal in the evening, which is why the pigs there are bigger than the pigs outside.
The fourteenth elder brother muttered: "It would be great if all the pigs coming into the palace ate rice bran.
Brother Jiu thought of corn.
That stuff doesn't taste good, but it's fine for being used as feed. Whether it's for horses or pigs, it should be good.
It's a pity that the corn that was planted this year will have to be harvested as seeds. If I want to grow corn myself, it will have to be the year after next.
But don't worry, you can open a rice mill in Haidian. You can not only earn money from outside, but also save money on rice bran.
Many of the Haha Zhuzi who go to the study are from noble backgrounds and are well-informed. The biggest news right now is here in Longkodo.
The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers naturally also inquired.
The fourteenth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said: "Ninth elder brother, if Long Keduo has no membership, what about the house in the imperial city? I heard that it is a newly renovated five-level mansion, and it is connected to the east and west courtyards?"
Brother Jiu said: "What else can we do? That is the official office. Naturally, it will be taken back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and wait for Khan Ama to assign it."
The Fourteenth Brother was very moved after hearing this, and said with a bit of flattery: "Ninth Brother, can you keep it for me and the Thirteenth Brother?"
"ha?"
Brother Jiu was confused after hearing this and said, "What are you thinking about? When you open a mansion in the future, you will also find a place in the official offices of each banner, not in the imperial city!"
The fourteenth elder brother said: "I know this, but I was just thinking about it. There are restrictions on entering and exiting the palace. Wouldn't it be easier if there was a private house outside? I left the study room the next year, and it would be easier to enter and exit the palace."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "You don't want to think about good things, but you still want to sleep out? The brothers in front of me are not like this! Besides, the two houses next to it will probably continue to be used by the Dong family, so they are really free.
It’s the place in the middle.”
The fourteenth elder brother frowned and said: "That's the imperial city. The minister is a minister. Only a great scholar can get the fifth grade and be given a house. Why do the Dong family have it?"
Brother Jiu asked curiously: "Did they offend you?"
The fourteenth elder brother shook his head and said: "I just feel that the custom of dressing up has gone bad. If a high-ranking official comes up, my children and grandchildren will enjoy happiness for several lifetimes. Why? It's not military merit..."
The ninth elder brother glanced at the fourteenth elder brother and felt that the fourteenth elder brother was still a snobbery.
If the children of the Dong family were now in a high and powerful position, the fourteenth elder brother would not be jealous of his family's house.
He said: "Just stay in the palace. You are all young sons now. Khan Ama loves you. It's still early to open the palace. Don't worry about the outer house. No serious person would do this..."
