The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 242: Showing your noble hand
The house-raiding operation lasted for a day and a night.

The guards are very experienced in house searches.

First, dig five feet into the ground. Then, search the beams, the ceiling, the walls, and under the bed in the bedroom. In short, search every place that can be searched.

The guard captain in charge of accounting held the account book and whispered, "Prince Yu, there is a mountain of silver in the storehouse of Pu's house, a total of 200,000 taels."

Yinyu nodded to show that he understood, but said nothing.

What is there to say?
Puchi's Mafa and Ama were not only high-ranking officials, but also had been to Yangzhou and Jiading in the south of the Yangtze River.

It has been accumulated for three generations, but there is only more than 200,000 taels of cash in Pu’s house. Whoever believes it is a fool!

Given Puchi's status and power, his family assets could not possibly be limited to this amount.

However, the emperor would not have hungry soldiers, and it was a common principle in the Qing officialdom to pluck the feathers of passing geese.

Since Kangxi did not give the confiscated items to Yinyou, they had to be moved into the inner treasury of the palace.

Yinyou stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, silently watching the guards moving things out one after another.

Everything was normal at first. However, when one of the guards was moving a box, he accidentally dropped a few gold hairpins from his sleeve.

The guard's face turned pale with fright. He stood there stupidly, totally at a loss as to what to do.

As the saying goes, if you catch the thief and the stolen goods, there is nothing to complain about.

Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, Yinyou walked straight out of the house as if he saw nothing.

For a moment, all the guards present watched Yinyou go away with gratitude.

Yinyou certainly wouldn't dare to divide the gold and silver in public.

However, the guard stole the things himself and Yinyou did not see it, so it was not a taboo!

In the Qing Dynasty, many things could be done in secret but could never be spoken out loud.

Yinyou returned to Changchun Garden with the copied account books and sealed boxes of books.

"Khan Amar, there is not even a single letter found in Puchi's house!"

After listening to Yinyu's report, Kangxi frowned and said coldly: "It is not a pity for him to die!"

"Everything I copied from Puqi will be given to you as a reward!" Kangxi understood human nature very well and knew that he could not let Yinyou work for nothing and had to give him some benefits.

"Thank you, Khan, for your grace!" Yinyu thanked him sincerely, but he was thinking in his heart that the things stolen by the guards originally belonged to him.

However, to win the hearts and minds of others by spending their generosity on them is not a problem that can be solved with money.

Overall, what Yinyou got was far greater than the little bit of silver that was stolen!

After all, when the mountain tomb collapses, the cooperation and support of the guard camp will definitely be needed!
In the Qing Dynasty, no matter how rich a businessman was, he still had to kneel and kowtow when he saw a master.

With fists, you are truly happy! Without fists, you can only be bullied!
After finishing his shift, Yinyou leisurely finished his dinner. While he was drinking tea, Liu Jia, who had just bathed and changed her clothes, came into the house shyly under the guidance of Wulin.

Yinyu looked up and saw that Wulin really understood his thoughts. He actually let Liu Jia wear a gauze as thin as a cicada's wing, and the big red bellyband inside the gauze was faintly visible.

"My master, please be well." Liu Jia suppressed the sadness in her heart and was forced to accept the tragic fate of heaven's punishment.

Who can escape from Kangxi's divine punishment?

Yinyu smiled slightly and waved to Liu Jia, motioning her to come closer.

Liu Jia didn't dare to hesitate too long. She let out a breath and temporarily vented the sorrow in her heart.

When Liu Jia came to his side, Yinyu held her hand and said gently, "With your identity and status, you should have heard that Tuoheqi and Qi Shiwu's wives and daughters are living a miserable life worse than death, right?"

"Alas, with one jade arm being rested on by thousands of people, is that the life a human being should live?" Yinyu embraced Liu Jia in his arms, but found that her body was shaking slightly.

"If my brother has the last laugh, you and your daughter will have a more miserable fate than them!" Yinyu raised his hand and lifted Liu Jia's delicate chin, saying gently, "You are very lucky. In the entire Qing Dynasty, only I can protect you, your daughter and your family."

When Yinyou leaned forward to kiss her, Liu Jia closed her eyes shyly, but she had no intention of dodging at all.

We are all adults now, and Yinyou really didn't tell a single lie!
When Liu Jia completely collapsed in Yinwei's arms, there was a hint of a smile on Yinwei's lips.

In the Qing Dynasty, the higher the status of a man, the more he cared about his own happiness, and women had hardly ever experienced what bliss was like.

As a veteran in the world of women, Yinyou is much more capable than Ximen Daguanren. The various means of adding to the fun that he has mastered are enough to make Liu Jia completely satisfied!
Even with Ximen Daguanren's crude means, he was able to make Pan Jinlian so infatuated that she even had the thought of killing her husband.

What’s more, what about Yinyou, whose rank is far superior to that of Ximen Daguanren?

In the morning, after Yinyu and Kangxi analyzed the military situation at the front, Kangxi suddenly asked Yinyu: "Is everything okay?"

If it were someone else, they would not understand what Kangxi was asking.

Yinyu, however, smiled and said, "She cried so hard and refused to obey. I have never spoiled her at all!"

"Well, some people can't be spoiled!" After Kangxi said this, Yinyou understood everything.

As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the more severe the criticism!

The old emperor hated any important official who secretly colluded with the second son Yinreng.

In fact, Yinyu could fully understand Kangxi's grief. Kangxi always believed that his good son Yinreng, whom he had raised since childhood, was corrupted by the treacherous villains around him!

If you are reluctant to kill Yinreng, are you also reluctant to deal with those treacherous villains?

Wei Zhu, who was standing aside, kept her mouth tightly shut, but her mind was very clear!

If Yinyou said that Liu Jia was particularly obedient and did not cry or make a fuss, the Emperor would probably change his mind and simply send her to a dirty and filthy place to receive guests day and night.

There is no way. Any important official who is related to the second son Yinyoureng will not have a good ending!
This is similar to the mentality of Zhu Laosi when he dealt with Jianwen’s old ministers!

Not only did Zhu Laosi order the execution of the entire family, he also sent the wives and daughters of the people to the Music Bureau, forcing them to have their red lips tasted by thousands of people!

Kangxi said calmly: "Grind them to dust!"

"Whoo!"

The ancients were very superstitious and believed that serving the dead should be like serving the living. Even if they had no money, they had to have a lavish burial!

Even if Puchi died, his body would be scattered to ashes, which shows how deep Kangxi's hatred was.
As it turned out, Kangxi's favorite son was the second son, Yinreng.

In Kangxi's mind, Yinyou was just a very handy tool who posed no threat at all!
To put it bluntly, all the civil and military officials in the court were Kangxi's tools.

However, the ones who used it very skillfully were the fourth prince and Yinyou.

Without the fourth brother's careful budgeting, the deposits in the three treasuries of the Ministry of Revenue could not have reached as much as 40 million taels.

Without Yinyou leading the troops to maintain order, Kangxi would not be able to sleep well!

Objectively speaking, the fourth prince and Yinyou had become the indispensable crutches for Kangxi.

After returning, under pressure from Kangxi's strong hatred, Yinyou changed Liu Jia's name to an extremely insulting one: Dienu.

For a whole week, Yinyou would call Dienu to sleep with him, allowing her to fully experience the pleasure she had never experienced before!

Dienu is not a virgin, but a married woman with a daughter!
After Dienu couldn't help shaking for a while, Yinyu gently embraced her shoulders and said softly: "Giving you a cheap name is actually for your own good. With your intelligence, you should understand, right?"

Die Nu bit Yin Yu's ear and whispered, "Master, you want to protect me, how could I not understand?"

"Well, in front of outsiders, try to be honest and obedient to avoid trouble. Once on the kang, the more wild the better!" Yinyu raised his hand and slapped Dienu's buttocks heavily, making a crisp sound.

As long as he is with Dienu, Yinyou becomes particularly brave!

After all, how could you not feel good when you’re riding someone else’s wife?
In particular, Dienu is not only young and beautiful, but also has the aura of a first-rank lady. Every time Yinyou rides her, he feels extremely good!
A similar case is the case of Qinshu, the widowed daughter-in-law of the governor.

However, Qinshu's identity and status are far inferior to Dienu's no matter what!

In the morning, when the sun was about to set on his buttocks, Yinyu walked into Changchun Garden with brisk steps.

Wulin led Yinyou's Ferghana horse and followed his master closely.

In this dynasty, the number of important officials who were granted the privilege of riding horses in the Forbidden City is so great that one cannot count them with two hands.

However, the only minister who was granted the right to ride a horse in Changchun Garden was Yinyou!

Yinyou never liked to show off. Every time he entered the garden, he would lead his horse, stand a hundred meters away from the garden gate, and then ride to his duty station.

When he entered the room, Yinyou found that Zhang Tingyu was not there.

Well, at this hour, Zhang Hengchen must have gone to have breakfast.

Only half a cup of tea later, Wu Lin came in and whispered, "Master, I heard that Dezhuer was scolded by His Majesty last night."

Yinyou picked up the teacup and took a sip. Hehe, the Defei who almost never made mistakes was scolded unprecedentedly. There could only be one reason: because of the Fourteenth Prince.

After the Fourteenth Prince led his troops to Xining, he repeatedly wrote secret letters back to Beijing to complain to Emperor Kangxi that the supply of food and wages in the rear was too slow.

In fact, the Fourth Brother not only did not strangle the Fourteenth Brother, but he also transferred food and money everywhere and tried his best to supply military supplies to the Northwest.

However, the only way to transport grain from the Central Plains to the Northwest is by land, and the consumption along the way is too great!

Twenty shi of grain was transported from Kaifeng, Henan to Xining, but only one shi was left.

If it were normal times, it would be fine!

However, as garrisons from various places were transferred to the northwest, the huge army of more than 100,000 people consumed an extremely alarming amount of food every day.

Although Yinyu had no evidence, he could fully guess that it must be the Fourteenth Prince who wrote a letter to Concubine De, complaining that the Fourth Prince was deliberately holding him back, right?

Defei really loved the Fourteenth Prince. She was scolded probably because she said bad things about the Fourth Prince in a roundabout way in front of Kangxi, and Kangxi saw through it, right?
No matter what, the fourth child is also the biological son born from Concubine De's belly. She is as kind as a piece of flesh and blood. Why would Concubine De do this?

"If you are short of money, go to the account office and get it yourself." Yinyu thought for a moment and then reminded him, "Don't be afraid of spending money. You should be afraid of not being able to spend it. Do you understand?"

Wu Lin said with a smile: "Master Hua's money, I never feel sorry for it!"

"Get out." Yinyou smiled and drove Wulin away.

Just as Yinyou expected, not long after, Kangxi called him in to discuss the military supply issue of the Northwest Army.
