No wonder the third elder brother said something big.
After the seventh elder brother read it, he handed the folding book to the tenth elder brother.
Brother Ten took it and looked at it, his expression became more solemn.
Domestic slaves sue their master?
Nonsense!
It's weird if no one directs it.
If a slave accuses his master, unless it is a heinous crime, he will be hanged regardless of whether the accusation is true or false.
Who lives well and must seek death?
For a moment, the room was silent.
The third elder brother suppressed his excitement and asked the seventh elder brother in a low voice: "Who has the prince offended?"
Beating a dog depends on the owner, not to mention dealing with royal relatives.
This is a drunkard who is not interested in drinking...
The seventh elder brother glanced at the third elder brother and said nothing.
The third brother's eyes were darting around.
Boss?!
Or someone else?
He felt a little guilty for no reason.
No one would doubt him, right?
Huh?
He looked at the tenth elder brother again. Could it be that someone from the Niu Hulu family uncovered this matter?
Will the move of the 10th prince into the south study frighten the Niu Hulu family?
The tenth elder brother looked back and said, "Third brother, what do you want me to do?"
The third elder brother said with a sneer: "Xunsi Xinyu was bold enough to directly torture and kill more than 30 people in the household. Tsk tsk, apart from the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Eight Banners has never had such a case!"
In recent years, under the guidance of the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother has often read "The Rules of the Qing Dynasty" and "The Eight Banners Sparse Regulations".
For the sake of national stability, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the laws were strict, but that was for the people.
As for the bannermen, it was easy to get along, they rarely committed serious crimes, and even fewer were implicated.
At that time, Nersu's uncle killed and wounded people who belonged to the banner and was a guard of the royal palace.
That was no ordinary slave, he was a bannerman or a court official.
Severe fines will be imposed only if someone is killed for no reason and if there is suspicion of contempt for the court.
What is involved in Xinyu's case now is the members of the Hesheli family, domestic slaves, not bannermen.
Regardless of whether it is the "Laws of the Qing Dynasty" or the "Sparse Regulations of the Eight Banners", if a master kills a slave, he will be punished lightly.
When officials kill slaves, they only receive a fine; when bannermen kill slaves, they only receive a shackle, which is a lighter punishment than killing cattle and horses.
Even so, the fact that so many people were found dead at once like the Hesheli family is also eye-catching.
February thirty-eight...
After Suo'etu's family was brought to trial, is this like silencing him?
For a moment, Brother Ten couldn't guess who revealed this matter.
The third elder brother was still talking and said: "Khan Ama has become less and less fond of making trouble in the past two years. I'm afraid he will be annoyed after seeing this..."
When this matter is revealed, a heavy punishment will hurt the prince's dignity, and the Hesheli family will no longer have a high nobility; without heavy punishment, there is no merit in being able to avoid punishment.
Brother Seven took a breath, knowing that the wind was about to blow...
Babel Mansion, study room.
King An Jun sent the steward over.
The eighth prince also knew that the first-class Bo Xinyu was accused by his slave.
He took a breath of air.
Is this someone pointing a sword at the prince?
Or is it internal fighting within the Hesheli family?
He looked at the steward and said, "What did the prince say?"
The steward said: "Your Majesty said that I don't know where the wind is blowing. I guess someone is testing the Emperor..."
The eighth prince's heart was pounding.
Test!
Khan Amma's patience with the prince has almost come to an end, right?
Thirty-eight years later, Yuqing Palace also fell into silence.
Without Soo Etu jumping up and down, when people talk about the prince, his reputation is somewhat reversed.
Earlier, when the nobles of the Eight Banners mentioned the prince, they would say something arrogant and extravagant in private, but now there is no movement.
After all, he is a prince who was raised by the emperor. If he really wants to find fault with him, he really can't.
The eighth prince was treated coldly by the emperor's father. In the past few years, the prince's situation was no better than his own.
If the reserve position is unstable, the weight of the eldest son, the eldest brother, will rise...
Suddenly, Ba Age had a vision.
The emperor's father will be fifty years old next year, and Emperor Taizong died at the age of fifty-two...
After the prince's butler left, the eighth elder brother went behind the desk and wrote a letter to the eldest elder brother.
Naturally, he didn't mention this in the letter. He just asked about his elder brother's current situation in the letter and chatted like a brother.
He and his eldest brother are not brothers, but they are almost the same as brothers...
In the study, the fifth elder brother had a good sleep.
When he woke up, he only felt that the years were quiet and peaceful.
Today's official documents have been processed. Several brothers are drinking tea. Look at the time, everyone is about to leave.
The fifth elder brother said: "It's another hard day for us all. Tomorrow we will have roast leg of lamb for lunch, rolled up and eaten..."
The third elder brother glanced at him, envious of his lack of heart, and said: "There won't be peace for a few more days..."
The fifth elder brother asked curiously: "Khan Ama asked us to pick him up?"
In recent years, when the emperor's father went on tours, he liked to have his sons to accompany him.
It is easy to go to Tongzhou and Changping, dozens of miles in one day; if you go to Miyun and Huairou, it will take 200 miles.
The third elder brother shook his head and talked about the case in the Zongren Mansion.
The fifth elder brother was stunned and said: "More than thirty lives have been concealed for all these years..."
He was raised by the Queen Mother, and now he eats a vegetarian diet from the first to the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Hearing that human life is involved, he is full of disgust for Xin Yu.
If one or two people were killed, it could be argued that it was manslaughter or for other reasons. There is no other reason for so many lives except cruelty.
"You're so brave, Khan Ama can't bear to hear this..."
The fifth elder brother continued to mutter: "Even if it doesn't pay with his life, it won't be better. This prince will definitely be lost."
The third elder brother blinked and said: "This title was left by Sony, Xinyu Gejue, but Sony has other children and grandchildren..."
Sony has made great contributions to the country. If he had not supported the imperial descendants twice, the throne would have been transferred to another branch.
Because of his meritorious service in assisting the country, Sony was awarded a first-class Duke on top of the first-class uncle, and the two titles were hereditary together.
When Sony passed away, the first-class Duke became the youngest son, and the First-class uncle became the fifth son.
As for Sony's eldest son, he was given the title of Duke Cheng'en because his daughter was the queen.
According to the rules of the Eight Banners, if the title is conferred by the recipient himself, the title will be removed due to crime; if the title is left by the father or ancestor, it will be transferred.
No matter what, the Hesheli family is going to be in chaos.
With a first-class uncle freed up, the other sons can take care of them...
It is more than four hundred miles from Beijing to Rehe.
After Nan Shufang has processed the documents, you can basically get to Rehe in one day and night.
Therefore, on the evening of the next day, Kangxi saw the Zongren Mansion's official document.
He took the folder and read it for a long time. Instead of approving it, he wrote a handwriting, put it in a secret folding box, locked it, and ordered Wei Zhu to send it out.
This was written to Zhao Chang in the palace, ordering Zhao Chang to investigate the matter thoroughly. The investigation was not only about the case of Xinyu's torture and murder of his servants, but also which party the servant was involved in.
Who is stirring up trouble?
Will anyone think it was his arrangement?
It's time to use it later.
Kangxi had no appetite at all.
He now looks at his sons and worries that they will doubt him.
He raised his head and told Liang Jiugong: "Send the prince to come over for dinner."
Liang Jiugong responded and went.
The prince's uterus, the prince has just finished using it and is late.
In the past few days, I have hunted twice in Beishan, and I have captured something each. I have become more relaxed and my appetite has improved a lot.
The prince was hesitating whether to call Dong E Gege Xiao Shi'er, when Liang Jiugong came.
The prince pursed his lips and followed Liang Jiugong out.
In the early years, the emperor's father often told him to have meals with him, but there was no such thing as picking someone up when the time came.
Even if I miss my son before eating, shouldn’t I still enjoy the food?
The prince noticed something was wrong, but had no clue.
By this time, Kangxi's mood had calmed down.
The prince paid his respects, but could not see anything.
Kangxi asked the prince to sit at the dining table, glanced at the dining table, and said: "Today there are perilla cakes, which you loved to eat when you were a child. I think of you..."
The prince also looked at the dining table.
The Suzi cake, which is not much bigger than a chess piece, is made of puff pastry and sweet filling.
When I was a child, I loved sweet food and I liked this dumpling. Now that I am older, I no longer like it.
In the early years, he would have spoken out about his preferences, but now he nodded and said: "I haven't eaten it for a while, thanks to the grace of Khan Amma."
Kangxi gave the prince a perilla cake and also took one for himself.
It has long since changed from the old taste. Not to mention that the prince found it sweet, even Kangxi felt tired of it.
The tea served later was barley tea. Kangxi drank most of the bowl before the sweetness left his mouth. However, half of his mouth was still muddy with the residue between his teeth, making him uncomfortable.
Fortunately, there were steamed dumplings and assorted boxes of steamed dumplings and assorted boxes on the dining table, which were both savory and savory. Kangxi continued to eat them, eliminating the sweetness from before.
After a meal, it only took half an hour for the father and son to put down their chopsticks.
After the dining table was removed and he rinsed his mouth, Kangxi handed the Zong Renfu Zhezi to the prince and said, "Take a look..."
The prince knew that this was the reason for passing the meal today, so he stood up and took it with both hands.
After seeing the above content clearly, the prince asked in surprise: "Could it be confused?"
Xinyu's younger brother, the sixth master of the Hesheli family who lost his first-class title before, lost his title in the early years because he slacked off at work and enjoyed riding and shooting in private...
Kangxi shook his head and said: "The Zongren Mansion has handed over the document and also verified the evidence..."
However, when the court investigates a case, in addition to witness and physical evidence, it still looks at oral confessions.
Xinyu is a relative of the emperor, otherwise it would not be under the jurisdiction of the clan government.
His first-class uncle is a super grade, and the clan cannot arrest him directly. He needs to ask for an order first...
