Kowloon wins

Chapter 31

My elder brother is not allowed to make personal friends with ministers. This is the Qing Dynasty's ancestral system. It is to prevent elder brothers from messing up the government. Of course, rules are rules, but it is another matter to actually implement them. After all, human relations are unavoidable. Son, especially a giant family like the Tong family, who wouldn't want to use it for help.

Because of the great power of the Tong family, every year and festival, the elder brothers of the Tong family really go to sea. Not to mention the elder brothers, even the crown prince is not less close to the Tong family, except for one person. That is the fourth elder brother Yinzhen. Although this guy is the adopted son of the late empress Tong Jia's family, he is said to be the adopted grandson of Tong Guowei, but he has never entered the Tong family's door, but he came here so suddenly at such a sensitive time today. , It really makes Tong Guowei not know how to deal with it. Besides, with Mr. Kangxi around, it is really not Tong Guowei's turn to make the decision. Therefore, Tong Guowei can only be extremely embarrassed when facing the concierge's request for instructions. He turned his head to look at Mr. Kangxi who was sitting in front of the chessboard.

"Let him in."

The old man did not make Tong Guowei difficult, and gave the answer without raising his head, but there was a faint flash of light in his eyes.

Hey, the old man is very angry, and the consequences will be serious. This time, the Tong family may be punished. See what happened?

Hong Qing is very clever, although she seems to be focused on chess, but in fact the corner of her eye is always on the old man, although the haze flashing in the old man's eyes is almost hard to detect, but Hong Qing is as good as she can. Seeing everything in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and secretly mourned for Tong's family for 3 minutes.

Originally, the old man returned to Beijing secretly this time, seeking a secret, in order to quell the turmoil by surprise, the reason why he did not enter the palace, but chose the Tong residence, was not only for strategic needs, but also because the Tong family had always Take a neutral position, but this time it's good, the action hasn't started yet, it's just a coincidence that the two elder brothers rushed here like this, no one can doubt the ability and tendency of the Tong family to keep secret work, even if The old man didn't say anything, but there was definitely a thorn in his heart. When Ying Jing'er pulled it out, it was bigger than one. Sometimes when the Tong family was in distress, of course, it would not hurt the muscles and bones. A meal at the head is probably inevitable, but it has nothing to do with Hong Qing, it's just a matter of gloating, she didn't take it to heart, but immersed herself in the chess game, making a play that is suffering for the chess posture.

Yinzhen arrived very quickly, but after a while, he was accompanied by the porter and turned out from the screen wall. His steps were calm, but his face was not good-looking. Firstly, he was worried about the current situation, and secondly, it was unavoidable. Some resentment of being neglected, you must know that the Tong family can be regarded as his Yinzhen's natal family, even though he has almost never entered this door since he opened the mansion to avoid suspicion, but the etiquette during the festivals is not lacking However, which time didn't he send his cronies to bring gifts to Tong's mansion early on, and now he finally came to the door once, but the master didn't come out to greet him, so he just asked a few people to accompany him, what's the matter?

"Huang Ama? Ah, my son knocked on Huang Ama!"

Yinzhen's dissatisfaction disappeared without a trace the moment he walked into the hall, replaced by extreme shock and excitement, his body trembled a few times, and then he rushed forward and knelt down on the old man's side Beside him, he asked Ann in a trembling voice.

"Well, watch chess!"

The old man was obviously benefited by Yinzhen's excited little appearance, but he didn't show much, he just pointed to his side and made a soft sound, indicating that Yinzhen would wait by his side.

"My son obeys the order!"

Although he had a lot to say, Yinzhen didn't dare to spoil the old man's interest in chess, so he could only respectfully respond, moved to the old man's side, and stood with his hands down. There are many rules.

"Report to Huang Ama, the imperial edict has been drafted, please read it."

Just as Yinzhen stood still, Yinzhi had already walked over holding the edict with wet ink on it, but he ignored Yinzhen's inquiring gaze, and approached the old man with lowered eyebrows, and reported in a low voice.

"Well, okay, let's do it!"

Hearing the sound, the old man raised his head from the chessboard, reached out to take the edict, glanced at ten lines at a glance, took off the seal hanging from his waist, stamped the edict, waved his hand, and ordered in a flat voice: .

"My son obeys the order!"

Regarding the arrival of the fourth child, the third master didn't say anything, but he was worried in his heart. What he was afraid of was that the younger brother would share the credit he deserved. , his face was flushed red with excitement, and he hurriedly responded, and immediately, under Yinzhen's jealous eyes that were about to spew out flames, he led Fu Qing'a and others hurriedly out of the hall, and met in a hurry. The soldiers of the nine admirals rushed to the nearby yamen, and led the crowd to Suo'etu's mansion to kill...

"Report, Eighth Master, it's not good, Third Master suddenly led troops to surround Suo Mansion!"

In the middle of the hour, the sky was already dark, and the curfew had already begun. The streets and alleys were empty, only the soldiers of the nine admirals' yamen were patrolling the streets in full armor. It was a different scene in the back garden. My brothers and Lu Chunyan were sitting around in the flower hall, having a few dishes, a jar of sake, and chatting freely. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, but the comfort did not last long It was knocked to pieces by the report student of a strong man in black who stumbled into the hall.

"What's going on, tell me!"

Hearing what the brawny man said, Ba Ye's hand trembled involuntarily, and the wine glass he was holding almost fell to the ground. Under his bad mood, his expression turned a little ugly.

"Back to the eighth master, the thing is like this, the young man led people to stare at Suofu under your order, and never found any accidents, but he never thought that the third master led the army to rush here not long after Xushi. It is said that Suoxiang was arrested under the order, and the Suo mansion was in chaos as soon as the army rushed, and the younger ones saw that something was wrong, so they rushed to report, Yunhe and the others were still watching there."

The burly man in black is surnamed Yao and named Shuangcheng. He is one of the masters of the rivers and lakes secretly recruited by Ba Ye. His sole responsibility is to help Ba Ye deal with some dark activities. Xie Wen was promoted by Ba Ye to be one of the persons in charge of the undercover organization "Raging Waves". He can be regarded as a smart person. Seeing that Ba Ye was in a hurry, he dared not be negligent, and hurriedly told the story .

"According to the decree? Where did the decree come from? The Holy Majesty is not here, where did the bastard get the decree?"

Yinyu was impatient, and when he heard the order, he couldn't help it immediately, slapped the table, and scolded repeatedly.

"Master Shi, I don't know about this little one. Ah, by the way, that kid Fuqing is following behind the third master, and that fellow Longkodo is also there."

Reporting bad news usually has no good results. Yao Shuangcheng is clearly aware of this, so he didn't dare to make wild guesses, so he only added the news that was missed just now, and then kept his mouth shut.

"His mother's third child, how dare to pass the imperial decree against him, starling, let's do it too, and beat that guy!"

Yinyu is really angry. Originally, Ba Ye had already learned the accurate news, knew all of Suo'etu's action plans, and made perfect preparations, just waiting for Suo'etu's tomorrow At the time of the incident, there was a good show of praying mantis catching cicadas and orioles behind, but I didn't expect that before the show started, the third master would even take the pot away. His tenth master should have made a big show The chance of punching and kicking came to naught. Under this anger, the table was in bad luck, and it was almost torn apart by Yin Yu.

"That's enough, Shuangcheng, just keep an eye on it, and report back in time if you have any news!"

Yinhu has always been well-informed. He knew about the fact that the third child and the fourth child went to Tong's mansion one after another, but he didn't take it to heart. But he didn't think that the Tong family, who had always been neutral, would be persuaded by the third and fourth children. Although he sent someone to pay attention to it, he didn't care much in his heart, but he never thought that such a negligence would cause such a trouble. For a big scene, he was 12 irritated in his heart, but the situation was unclear at the moment, and he didn't dare to act rashly, and he didn't want to see the old ten making useless nonsense, so he stopped drinking impatiently and called out. Cut off the old ten's nonsense, and then waved Yao Shuangcheng away.

"Brother, the youngest brother is not very courageous. He alone cannot do the false preaching of the imperial decree. Could it be that Huang Ama is in Tong's house?"

Yinzhen is fat, but his mind is very lively, and he quickly reacted, but he was not sure of his guess, so he hesitated to ask the question.

"This……"

"hiss……"

"No way?"

……

As soon as Lao Jiu's words came out, all the elder brothers gasped. After looking at each other, they all turned their eyes to Lu Chunyan who was meditating with his eyes closed.

"The emperor's heart is unpredictable!"

Lu Chunyan ignored everyone's surprise and suspicion, and frowning slightly in silence for a long time, then raised his head and let out a long sigh.

"Sir, what is the current situation like?"

The emperor's heart is naturally very unpredictable, and it has been like this since ancient times, let alone Mr. Kangxi, who is outstanding in literary and martial arts, so it is even more difficult to guess his true mind. It is very clear, but at this delicate moment, even if the emperor's heart is unpredictable, he still has to test it. Of course, he has no such ability, so he can only throw the problem to Lu Chunyan.

"Yes, sir, tell me, what should be the end of this matter?"

Not only Ba Ye was anxious, but Jiu Ye was also in a hurry, so he hurriedly said something to echo him.

"Take it all."

Lu Chunyan shook his head solemnly, and gave the answer. As soon as he said this, the expressions of anticipation on the faces of all the brothers froze immediately...
