Chapter 27: Stealing Yinyou's
"How much money do you pay back each time? Where does the money come from?" Kangxi stared at Yinsi, "Yinsi, I am not Xiaojiu."
Xiaojiu is even more innocent than Xiaoshi, which is why he has always been more tolerant towards him no matter how he competed with the people for profit over the years.
Xiao Shi looks silly, but he has his own considerations in his heart. Just look at how he treats Lao Ba and Xiao Jiu and you will know that Xiao Shi is not who he seems. On the contrary, Xiao Jiu is more honest and straightforward than Xiao Shi.
"Your son...your son..." Yinsi did not dare to look directly at Kangxi and quickly lowered his head, "Your son...you can deduct it from your son's annual salary, every time you deduct...deduct it."
In the end, no one said how much it was. The annual salary of the Heshuo Prince of the Qing Dynasty was 1 taels of silver plus 6000 hu of rice, the annual salary of the Prince's son was 6000 taels of silver plus 5000 hu of rice, the annual salary of the Duolo Prince was 5000 taels of silver plus 3000 hu of rice, and the annual salary of the Prince's son was 3000 taels of silver plus hu of rice.
As for Beile, he was not even as good as the prince of a county. His annual salary was 2500 taels of silver plus 2500 hu of rice. Now Yinsi was a Duolo Beile, with taels of silver plus hu of rice per year. Even if he had to return all of it, it would take more than a hundred years.
"I will give you a way. You can get the money back the same way you gave it away." Kangxi looked at Yinsi, "Take the money back, and the court official to whom the money belongs must also return the money borrowed from the Ministry of Revenue. I can forgive you and those court officials for their mistakes."
Does Yinsi dare to refuse?
He didn't dare to, because if he didn't agree, he was afraid that those court officials would also have their property confiscated. Now, it was thanks to the emperor's mercy that he was not put too embarrassed.
"Your son... obeys your order!" Yinsi knelt on the ground and knocked his head on the ground, hiding the helplessness on his face and a hint of unwillingness and despair.
"Xiaojiu, help up Laoba. Concubine Xiaojiu, help up Laoba," Kangxi raised his hand and waved to Yinzhen and Wen Yao.
"Father, your daughter-in-law is willing to return it for you," the Eighth Lady shook off Wen Yao's hand, suddenly raised her head and looked at Kangxi with a firm expression on her face, "Your daughter-in-law is willing."
"Your Majesty, since the Eighth Concubine is willing, then let's confiscate the property of those court officials. It seems that the Eighth Concubine is very resentful of those court officials, right, Eighth Sister-in-law~" Wen Yao smiled and looked down at the Eighth Concubine Guo Luoluo. She would not agree if anyone wanted to set a trap for her and Yinzhen.
The Eighth Lady suddenly looked at Wen Yao, and when their eyes met, she knew that her thoughts had been seen through again. If so, then the Eighth Master, herself, and the Prince An's Mansion behind them would not have a good ending. "Father, it was your daughter-in-law who was talking nonsense. Thank you, Ninth Sister-in-law, for reminding me." The Eighth Lady's face was immediately filled with guilt. She raised her hand, put it on Wen Yao's arm, and slowly stood up.
As if everything that just happened had never happened, the Eighth Lady regained her usual dignified and bright Guo Luoluo, "Master, it was Huishu who caused trouble for you."
"Don't blame you, it's my own fault. I have dragged down Fu Jin," Yinsi's eyes flashed with a trace of loss. He turned his back to Yinzhen and without looking at Yinzhen, he turned around and grabbed Fu Jin, speaking with a guilty look on his face.
Although the atmosphere was somewhat solemn, no one knew who would win or lose this time. It seemed as if both the Eighth Prince Yinsi and the Ninth Prince Yinzhen had lost, but it also seemed as if there were winners here, such as Yinzhen who got the money.
For example, the emperor Kangxi, with just a few words, might have been able to get many court officials to return the money borrowed from the Ministry of Revenue. In the end, the ones who took the blame were still the eighth prince Yinsi, or the ninth prince Yinzhen, but he was the only one not there.
It would only make those court officials feel that they were being targeted not because Emperor Kangxi was keeping an eye on them, but because they were implicated by Yinsi and Yin'er.
"Father, today is the second day after my ninth brother's wedding. Let's talk about the affairs of the court another day. It's a rare break now, so why not let the sons and ministers relax for a while," the prince smiled and broke the awkward atmosphere. "Father, do you see Yin? That kid is bullying my seventh brother again?"
"Are you trying to take Yinyou's again? Xiaoshi, your seventh brother is giving in to you, but you are getting more and more demanding? Yinyou, I'll take care of it for you, you don't have to let him. Xiaoshi's tonnage is making it hard for him to get in the door," Kangxi followed the prince's words and looked towards Yinyou and Yinyou, and saw Yinyou eating the meat bite after bite at Yinyou's side, with the Seventh Lady helping him.
"Father Emperor, you are slandering me," Yin Yu didn't care as long as he could eat. But he couldn't stand it anymore after hearing the rest of it. "Father Emperor, there's nothing I can't get in. I'm not as important as my elder brother now!"
Not fat at all!
Yinzhi's forehead was covered with a few black lines. He looked at Yinzhi, who wanted to compare weight with him, in silence. "Tenth brother, do you want to see how big you are and how big I am? Do you want to continue to compare how tall we are? Why don't you also come and see how my bones are like iron, while yours are like a ball of cotton!"
Yin? also pinched his arm, "Brother, I am also hard, not completely soft."
"If you are completely soft, then you are spineless!" The Third Prince laughed at the side and said something heartbreaking to Yin?.
“Hahahahahahaha…” Yinzhi was the first to laugh out loud, followed by the other princes laughing one by one, and Yin'er couldn't help laughing either.
Yin? felt wronged. Only Yin? was hurt in the world. Yin? looked at his brothers, then at his sisters-in-law, who were all laughing with their hands covering their mouths. "Sister-in-law Jiu! Are you laughing at me too?"
“Ahem… That’s not it. I was laughing… I was laughing at big brother. How could big brother be as strong as iron? Why didn’t you wait for our tenth brother, right? Poof…” Wen Yao said this without holding back, and she laughed out loud. Seeing Yin?s aggrieved look, she tried hard to retract her laughter, but it was too difficult, “Hahahaha…”
"I was wrong. Ninth brother's wife was right. How could I not wait for Tenth brother?" Yinzhi rarely joked after the death of his first wife, but there seemed to be something suppressed in his smile, which even he himself did not notice.
“Hmph! You only know how to bully me!” Yin? snorted, looked around, and found that his brothers were also laughing. Yin bared his teeth, “Twelfth brother, thirteenth brother, fourteenth brother~ Humph, you can’t beat your brothers, so can’t I deal with you... Ahhh... Why are you three running away!”
Before Yin finished speaking, Fourteen decisively ran outside at a very fast speed, followed by Thirteen and Twelve, who looked at each other and ran outside immediately after him. They all ran very skillfully, but they ran separately and no longer ran together.
The atmosphere began to liven up again. As the sun was about to set, the dinner began and hot pots were served one after another.
"Is it a hot pot? The taste seems to be different. There is a clear soup pot and a spicy pot, they seem to be a little different," the prince also likes hot pot very much, especially when eating with his royal father.
Although he dined alone as an emperor, he was often accompanied by his father, which was a major exception.
