Chapter 171: Justice is clear, where is the law?
The Forbidden City was hit by the biggest storm this year, or since the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass.
Guarjia Gefuhe had been patient for nearly two months, and the sword in his hand was already thirsty for energy.
She really didn't understand why Yinzhen and Kangxi were so timid in doing things. Wouldn't it be enough to just kill these bannermen?
Just like before, cut the Gordian knot, who dares to say anything to the royal family?
Besides, this in itself shows that the slaves have forgotten their roots. What is there to hesitate about?
I've come this far in so many worlds, so why am I hesitating here?
——Someone must be interfering.
After a long period of thinking, Guarjia Gefuhe concluded that this was the only possibility.
She looked at the evidence she had collected and the intelligence about the movements of the Crown Princess and the other wives, and prepared to take decisive action.
Now, because of her status as the Fourth Lady, her flame was still suppressed, but it rose back to the red burning state.
With good luck to back you up, no problem!
And this, two days later.
Guaerjia Gefuhe arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace early in the morning and, in full view of everyone, announced in a loud voice the people involved in the case of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the amount involved, and the crimes committed.
"The criminal, Ma Jia..., embezzled 230,000 silver taels and hid stolen goods in his home... in...
……
Rong Fei, Ma Jia, collected illicit money every year... 10,000 taels, which she used to form a clique and engage in private activities...
The sinner, Guo Luoluo..., cultivated privately..."
At the same time, a young eunuch in front of the emperor ran for his life and reported that Kangxi had posted the so-called "imperial edict" everywhere in the capital, and the content written on it was consistent with what the Fourth Lady read out at the door.
Now, everyone in the capital knows about it!
After hearing these two crazy things that happened almost simultaneously, Kangxi's mind, which had been a little groggy due to his busy schedule in recent days, suddenly became clear.
Even Liang Jiugong, who usually had steady hands, was shaking with the teacup in his hands.
The young guards who heard a few words at the gate of the Qianqing Palace also realized the seriousness of the matter.
I hurried forward and tried to persuade him kindly.
"Fujin, Fourth Fujin, please stop talking for now, why don't you just..."
But Guarja Gefuhe would not appreciate it.
She frowned and scolded loudly and dissatisfiedly,
“Why don’t you let me speak?
Justice is clear, where is the law?
Could it be that your family members are involved in this, which is why you are covering up for them?
No! I'm going to say it!"
"You...you are unreasonable!"
This guard was the third son of the wife of the Yehenara branch, one of the upper three banners.
The reason why he was transferred to the imperial court at such a young age was purely because he had connections in his family and was strong enough.
Correspondingly, he also has the innocence and so-called kindness of a teenager.
Seeing that the Fourth Lady was so unruly, he widened his eyes in disbelief, and searched his mind for the contents of the books that had made him sleepy in the past. In the end, he just imitated his mother's curse words and said viciously,
"Good words can't persuade the damned devil! You, your good days are over!"
"Humph, you are the ones who should be the ones to suffer in the end!"
……
The commotion in front of the emperor was soon known to Kangxi in full.
"A disaster! It's really a disaster!"
"Why do I..."
Why did you point this thing to the fourth brother? !
Thinking back carefully, Kangxi had no idea what he was thinking at the time, as if he was controlled by a curse.
What's so good about this Guarjia Gefuhe?
Her family background was indeed good, and Shi Wenbing was capable, but her own incompetence had been known to everyone in the capital for several years.
Is he...crazy?
Kangxi could even feel that even now, there was still a faint voice in his heart calling out, "Well done, Fourth Lady!"
well done?
What a fucking bastard!
Kangxi now wished he could drag the fourth concubine out, chop her into pieces, and feed her to the dogs!
He had seen so many stupid servants in the imperial court, but none of them could compare to the shock that she alone brought to Kangxi.
But he couldn't kill Guarja Gefuhe.
That is the royal wife.
If they wanted to control the situation, the list that had been seen by countless people had to be revealed, and the Fourth Lady's mouth had to be silenced.
"The Fourth Lady has developed hysteria. She has been dragged back and locked up. No one is allowed to visit her without an imperial decree!
Xuan Yinzhen come over, I want to see him!
Shut up that crazy woman! ! "
Kangxi seldom roared in front of the emperor, but now he had to do so.
He tacitly approved of the palace bondservants' filial piety to the empress.
No, or to be more precise, it has always been the default.
If a girl wants to live well in the harem, she naturally needs the support of her mother's family, and this can also reduce some of the expenses of his treasury, right?
If the water is too clear, there will be no fish, so just a little oil or water will do.
He has always thought so.
But now that the Imperial Household Department has lost control, they need to scrape the bones to heal the wound. But scraping the bones is just scraping, it doesn't mean to cut off the arms directly, right?
If everything is strictly enforced according to the law, how could there be any living people in the homes of the bondservants of the Imperial Household Department?
what?
The Eight Banners had a small population to begin with, and the Baoyi made up the majority of the population.
Could it be that they want the royal family to employ Han slaves who are not members of the banner?
Is it more likely that the Han slaves killed the Manchus from Shengjing for the sake of restoring their country, for the so-called integrity, or to open a single page in the family tree starting from him? Or is it more likely that the bondservants who could not resist the temptation of money betrayed their masters?
Did Shi Wenbing never explain the slightest truth to his daughter at home in the past?
No, doesn't Shi Wenbing understand such a simple truth?
Now that the matter has come to an end, what will happen to his harem? What will happen to the princes whose maternal families are bondservants?
And what about the fourth child?
Can he still want it?
Or, can he still be alive?
At this moment, Kangxi couldn't help but feel fortunate that he did not appoint any prince to assist the Fourth Prince, let alone let the Crown Prince participate in this matter.
Otherwise, because of this crazy Guwalja clan, his prince would lose everything!
Kangxi was angry, but as an emperor, his status and years of ruling gave him a natural rationality that overrides emotions.
Now that things have come to this, we need to clean up the mess.
At this time, the fourth prince Yinzhen also came here in a panic.
It was only after the incident that he heard about all the big things that Fu Jin had done behind his back!
Didn't he say not to interfere?
Didn’t he say that I should just go home and wait patiently?
why?
Why don't you listen to him?
He doesn't understand, he can't figure it out.
Why did Guarja Gefuhe have to prove to him that he was useful and intelligent?
Why did she insist that this approach would work and would succeed when he had clearly rejected it?
Why does she have such confidence that the whole world revolves around her?
This feeling, which was hard to describe as anger or absurdity, turned into fear after entering the Qianqing Palace and seeing Kangxi.
Without Kangxi's order, Yinzhen knelt on the ground on the spot.
"Your Highness, I greet you, Father."
"My son, I don't know why Mrs. Fujin would..."
"She has always been willing to assist me in thoroughly investigating the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she has indeed been helpful in general affairs, but, but..."
