Chapter 1532 Fear (rolling and asking for monthly votes)
Have dumplings for lunch, dumplings with four kinds of fillings.
Brother Jiu had a fever and his appetite had decreased a lot. He drank another bowl of dumpling soup with a lot of pepper. There was not much room left in his originally hungry belly, so he just ate a few pork, sauerkraut and dumplings, and then gave up.
I took off my chopsticks.
The imperial physician arrived and took a pulse.
Brother Jiu drank ginger soup and hot and sour soup again. He was sweating a lot and he was holding a snuff bottle in his hand. He looked fine.
The imperial doctor made some examinations and made a diagnosis. He was suffering from cold and heat, and there was some internal dryness. He prescribed a prescription to induce sweating to dispel cold and lower the fire. Coptis chinensis was three points more than the usual prescription for wind-cold.
Brother Jiu looked at Fang Zi and glared at the imperial doctor: "So many Coptis chinensis? Is this going to make me suffer to death?"
This imperial doctor also often came to the Ninth Prince's Mansion. He knew who was in charge and looked at Shu Shu next to him.
Shu Shu also knew that Brother Jiu was afraid of hardship, so he took a look at the prescription and asked the imperial doctor: "Licorice can also treat cold and sore throat. How about adding some licorice?"
The imperial doctor shook his head and said: "That's for Shaoyin syndrome. Lord Jiu, this is just ordinary wind and cold..."
Shaoyin syndrome, when wind evil enters the body, is severe.
Shu Shu respected professionalism. After hearing this, he looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Good medicine is bitter, but I insist on persisting."
Brother Jiu put Fang Zi down and said, "How about I take a nap first to sweat, then I can't say anything."
Shu Shu didn't answer, and signaled Zhou Song to take the tea envelope and send the doctor out.
The Prince's Mansion also has a small pharmacy with a full range of common medicines.
Shu Shu then told Bai Guo: "Remember the doctor's instructions and boil three bowls of water into one bowl."
Ging Guo agreed and went down.
The ninth elder brother said helplessly: "I am really confused. Even if you want to check the tea warehouse, you can just send someone there. If you go there in person, you still have to wait for an hour and a half. Hey, why are you so diligent? It's not like that.
Damn it!"
Shu Shu boasted: "I am responsible and responsible. I knew it would involve a lot, so I went by myself."
Brother Jiu proudly said: "This is kind of me. I don't want to let Twelve and the old high-top tank! I have seen it. Those grandsons of the Ministry of Internal Affairs do not have a long memory and are used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. I am standing in the way. It is useless for them to hold grudges."
Hold a grudge, if it were Twelve and Lao Gao, they might secretly retaliate, which is not a good thing!"
Shu Shu said: "Yes, no matter what the outsiders say, everyone around me knows that I am sincere and can protect the people around me..."
Brother Jiu glanced at Shu Shu. He didn't think so at first, but now that he had Feng Sheng and his three siblings, he could see that Shu Shu was trying to coax the child.
On weekdays, when Shu Shu is in front of her children, she always praises her when everything is fine.
But after leaving Ning'an Hall and the rear guard building, Shu Shu often complained in front of her that Ni Guzhu was stupid, Fengsheng was careless, and Akdan would bully his brother.
If you are coaxing yourself in front of yourself and behind your back, are you telling the county boss that you are no longer a good person?
Are you a child yourself?
He is a man!
Brother Jiu felt that there was no need to argue with women and should be more generous, so he accepted Shu Shu's compliment and became proud, saying: "That is to say, I have such courage and decisiveness, and caught Guang Chu Si off guard, otherwise it would have been a little slower.
All the evidence has been transferred. Catch the thief. Several kilograms or more of ginseng. If you are prepared, just hide it."
Shu Shu said: "I asked the emperor to arrange for the ministers on duty and the ministers in charge of the court. Is it time for the emperor to appoint people this time?"
He is a one-year official, and he is a person with high trust in the imperial court. He will not be greedy for such small profits for the sake of his future.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "It's time to order people a long time ago. There are six ministers, as well as the princes and bachelors who supervise the ministries!"
In this way, no minister of any ministry can cover the sky with just one hand.
Shu Shu said: "Then I hope it will be sooner rather than later. If there is such a thing like uncovering the cover in the future, I won't have to personally go into battle."
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "I have discovered that it is not that scary to face Bao Yi. Each family has its own future. There is not as much unity as I imagined. It doesn't matter if the old brand collapses. We are helping other families."
The bottom line is, just don’t let them work together, people will die for money and birds will die for food, two peaches will kill three people, this routine will always work."
Shu Shu said: "If something like this happened, the Holy Emperor will leave the palace tomorrow, will the schedule change?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "Probably not. It's such a small thing and it won't delay the schedule. There is a big court tomorrow, so it's good for me to recuperate directly, so as not to have to go to work in the cold weather..."
Shu Shu felt that the secret of Brother Jiu’s trouble to Baozi could not be kept secret.
Even if you "escape from illness", you are just hiding your ears and stealing the bell, and no one is a fool.
This time, there was no one to top the tank. From the time Brother Jiu ordered people to count the quantity of ginseng reserves, until the attack occurred today, Brother Jiu was in the lead.
If anyone comes into the house later, the investigation must be more detailed, otherwise who knows if any family will blame the ninth elder brother for their grudges...

Before dinner, here in Xinuang Pavilion, I saw Brother Jiu's pulse report and the prescription given by the imperial doctor.
Seeing the excessive amount of coptis, Kangxi felt better.
Should!
If you don’t stop for a whole day, you should drink medicinal soup!
It can be considered a bit of filial piety to think that the ministries in Khalkha were squandering the court's money and planning to make money from Khalkha.
Kangxi's mood was a bit complicated.
If the ginseng case hadn't happened, Brother Jiu's plan would have been impossible.
The intention was good, but I didn't expect that there was a nest of moths hiding in the teahouse.
When it was time to light the lamp, Zhao Chang came over, holding in his hand the copy and inspection booklet of the officials in the Guangchusi tea warehouse.
Kangxi took it and looked at it. The first one was the general manager in charge of the tea warehouse. He was not from the Ministry of Household Affairs, but was from Baoyi Sanqi. Five thousand taels of silver were found at home.
This kind of evil situation is only led by wrapping.
How could a doctor from the Six Divisions dare to do this?
Among Beijing officials, being a top five doctor is nothing, but in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, being a top five doctor is second only to the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Five thousand taels of silver is not much.
Looking at the back, I found twenty-five kilograms of ginseng, twenty kilograms of fourth-grade ginseng, four kilograms of third-grade ginseng, and one kilogram of second-grade ginseng.
This is just one person!
Kangxi looked at this amount and his face was so gloomy that he could shed tears.
Third-grade ginseng and above are not sold outside at all. They are only available in the palace. They are only supplied to the masters of the palace. Concubines and below are not eligible to use third-grade ginseng.
Second-class ginseng is only supplied to Qianqing Palace and Ningshou Palace!
Kangxi looked back and saw that ginseng was also found in the inspections of Yuan Wai Lang, treasurer, deputy treasurer and others.
One of the treasurers was having lunch at home, which was stewed chicken with ginseng; another, a foreign minister, was marrying his daughter, and the dowry he prepared for his daughter included four pounds of fourth-grade ginseng.
The Shen Xing Department was conducting inspections and interrogations at the same time, and even several of the Treasury envoys and Bi Tieshi below were detained.
The pen post type records the incoming and outgoing accounts, and the treasury envoy also collects ginseng. It cannot be said that they were all attracted by the superiors, but there were also many people who followed him to drink the soup.
When it comes to money, we don't dare to use outsiders. Most of the people involved are descendants of clan members or in-laws.
You must know that the imperial court has rules for official avoidance to prevent speculation. Among them, it stipulates that relatives should avoid serving. Fathers and sons, brothers, uncles and nephews cannot serve in the same government office to prevent corruption.
The Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not avoid the system.
Because in the early years when I was outside the customs, there were several people who were responsible for one department's practices, and they did not change after entering the customs.
Therefore, the various yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were secretly divided into territories.
Just like the imperial kitchen, the Ma family, the Wuya family, the Zhang family and the Wei family divided the imperial kitchen, and almost all the officials in the imperial kitchen were controlled by the children of the four families.
Guangchusi is no exception. The officials involved in the case are either the nephew of the doctor or the in-laws of the foreigner.
Today, the Criminal Investigation Department arrested a total of about forty people involved in the case, all of whom were related by relatives.
Kangxi looked at Zhao Chang and said: "Anything involving imperial objects will be punished as a crime of gross disrespect. The principal offender and accomplices guilty of the same crime will have their homes confiscated, and their wives and children will be sent to Ninggu Pagoda to be slaves with the armored men. Other crimes of embezzling ink will not affect the deceased, and they will be exempted." Official, I will fine you silver and send it to the station for service!"
Zhao Chang agreed.
Kangxi did not ask him to go down immediately, but pondered for a moment and ordered: "Officials above the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs should check it out. If there is any property with unknown source, record it, and we will make arrangements when I return to Beijing!"
Zhao Chang said: "Master, I want to go to the Eight Banners Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I still need the master's handwriting..."
Kangxi took up his pen and wrote two lines, stamped it with his personal seal, and handed it to Zhao Chang.
Zhao Chang took it with both hands and stepped back...

In the imperial city, the Gao family residence.
There was silence at the table.
On the dining table were sauerkraut and pork dumplings, a plate of pork head meat, and a plate of cabbage with sesame sauce. However, there were four people, three generations of grandparents, but no one raised their chopsticks.
The young boy sitting at the bottom lowered his head and had red circles under his eyes.
Next door to the Gao family is the family of Zhong Guoding, a member of the Guangchu Department, who is also an old relative of the Gao family. Last year, the two families changed their posts.
Gao Yanzhong hired Zhong Guoding's second daughter for his youngest son.
Because of the draft, it is not popular for the Banner people to have baby kisses.
However, because the number of beauties required by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is small every year, they are not required to be selected like the Eight Banners beauties.
Those who sign up their daughters for the primary school election are either from poor families, or their daughters are outstanding and looking for a bright future.
Because Gao Yanzhong has become so popular in the past two years, many wealthy businessmen want to get married to his family.
In order to reduce trouble and offend several families, Gao Yanzhong got engaged to his youngest son. Who would have thought that it would be so small!
When the accounting department was investigating the case, his son-in-law's family was there. Fortunately, he was young and was not involved.
This time Guang Chusi's case involves in-laws again!
Here in the Zhong family, there is no innocence.
Zhong Guoding was one of the three Yuanwailang in charge of the tea warehouse. His eldest son was the treasurer of the tea warehouse, and his nephew was the tea warehouse's Bi Tie Shi.
The Zhong family has been raided, the family has also been sent to the Criminal Investigation Department, and the house has been sealed.
Gao Yanzhong saw his youngest son drooping his head and feeling listless. He sighed and said, "Xiaosan, it was me who harmed you. Don't expect this marriage anymore. The teahouse incident is so big that it has alarmed the emperor. I can't help but
I can’t do anything to hear the news!”
Gao Jue nodded and said: "My son knows that he just feels a little uncomfortable in his heart. Will Er Niu and Aunt Zhong enter Xin Zhe's treasury?"
If that's the case, when he grows up and gets a job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he can still take care of him.
Gao Yanzhong shook his head and said: "No, either he was sent to Ninggu Pagoda, or he was sent to be a slave in the family of a hero, and he will not be allowed to work in the palace again."
Gao Jue is here, only eleven years old. He lies on the table and can't help but cry "woo woo".
Mrs. Li felt sorry for her son and thought about her old friendship with the Zhong family. She said, "Master, can't you think of a way to help Yi Er? The year when Xiao San was born, my father was seriously ill and could hardly afford to live. It was Master Zhong who sent Er Liang.
Ginseng…”
This is also a life-saving grace.
Gao Yanzhong looked at Mr. Li and said, "I have my name in front of the emperor. The more this happens, the more timid I become. I don't even have the courage to go to the prince's palace to ask for mercy!"
If he really entrusted his affair to Ninth Elder Brother, not to mention that he felt sorry for Ninth Elder Brother, even the emperor would not tolerate it.
Grandma Gao Bin was an old man and had experienced the ups and downs of the family. She said to her daughter and grandson: "Even if you think about the love and kindness of the Zhong family, this is not the time to intervene. Since you are on duty in the palace, you must know
My duty is to wait until three to five years have passed and think of ways to repay..."
For officials, three ups and downs are nothing.
When the children and grandchildren grow up in the future, they will still be from a good family.
If you can't get support, just give it more.
Now, there is no benefit in meddling without knowing the seriousness except getting stuck and ruining the future...

A friend came from Shenzhen and went out in the afternoon. Let’s do this for today.
