Chapter 958

This was exchanged by Zhang Bao with silver from the Liba steward who was in charge of moving the Fan family.

According to the Liba steward who exchanged silver ingots for Zhang Bao, this is a reward given by the old lady of the Fan family, a fine filament silver ingot, and silver from the household treasury.

Holding it in his hand, Erfu only felt heavy in his heart, don't look at it, it's only ten taels of silver, but just these ten taels of silver are enough for the first product to be pulled off the horse.

The treasury silver of the household department, what is the treasury silver, is actually the country's capital.

This is not a kind of currency circulating in the market, nor is it a tax burden handed over to the treasury in various places, but a filament silver ingot that has been re-fired by the household department, which only exists in the household treasury.

This is Chiguoguo's corruption, and this is Chiguoguo's shaking country.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Bao said that ten taels of silver ingots are enough to make a first-class master fall off, but now is not the time to pay attention to these, she casually put the silver ingots on the table, pinched her eyebrows, and sighed: "You let Zhang Bao arrange for someone to continue to stare at Fan Yao, since Liu Zongcheng's side may have been wiped out, then the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely not keep Fan Yao." ”

After speaking, she waved her hand and asked Chen Fu to go out a little tiredly.

Seeing Chen Fu's figure disappear at the door, Erfu rubbed the pain in her shoulder blade, and walked to the study next to her with a bitter face, she found the list of ministers and family members of the court and the central government copied by the eldest grandmother from the drawer, and looked at it carefully, and was able to move a large amount of treasury silver from the household department, which is not something that ordinary little people can do, and it cannot be done by a bold thief, although she has not seen with her own eyes how confidential the three treasury of the household is, but she can also imagine that if she wants to steal something from such a place, or bring a few silver ingots out, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, and the person who can justifiably transfer the treasury silver from the household treasury, must be the important ministers of the court and the royal dignitaries who hold real power.

According to her judgment, the most likely person is the old man who has died violently.

It's just that she can't figure it out, obviously when the old Bayinyu was demoted to a concubine for rebellion, the person in charge of raiding the house and inspecting the mansion of the eighth master was Wei Zhu, the most trusted eunuch chief around Emperor Kangxi, if everyone else could betray Emperor Kangxi and find another dock to take refuge, and only Wei Zhu, the chief eunuch who had too many secrets of Emperor Kangxi, would not dare to do this, because before Emperor Kangxi died, he would definitely send Wei Zhu on the road first, a person with no future, why would he take the risk of doing such a thing.

It was something she couldn't figure out.

But if Wei Zhu did not betray Emperor Kangxi, then where did this huge amount of treasury silver come from!

She doesn't think that those important ministers who hold the authority will be so bold to be greedy for ink and silver, and give it to Fan Yao so aggressively, as long as they are mixed in the court, they will not understand the danger of treasury silver, a minister who obviously holds real power, needs to be so risky to be greedy for ink treasury silver, there are so many people outside who pinch silver tickets and bribes, no one will stupidly choose the most dangerous path, and even if the treasury silver is held in his hand, without re-casting, it is impossible to take it out for pleasure, and in the end it is just a hidden place, even if it is in vain, because the place where you can burn silver ingots is not to say that you cook your own earthen stove。

No smart person would choose such a stupid way to be a moth to the country.

It is precisely because of this that she will set the target of her suspicion on the head of the old eight, not that the old eight are stupider than those important ministers in the court, but that the eighth will not arouse anyone's suspicion when he takes out these silvers, because when the eighth leaves the palace to open the palace, the opening silver allocated by the emperor to the eighth is the treasury silver of the internal affairs department, and the treasury silver of the internal affairs department and the treasury silver of the household department, except for the difference in the fire mark at the bottom, the rest is exactly the same, and the eighth has led the household department for a period of time, so she will have this suspicion.

However, she ignored another person, that is, the fourth master.

When he was in front of the royal army, the eighth did choose the household department early in the morning, avoiding the more sensitive officials, but he was bent on plotting for a big position, in order to win over those courtiers, he simply lent those officials silver taels in the name of a clever purpose, which was originally a blessing set up by Emperor Kangxi for those officials with difficult family backgrounds, but it became a cheap thing for officials in the court to borrow casually, and there was a cheap thing to borrow but not to repay, and finally caused the household treasury to be empty, and even the silver for disaster relief and river repair was gone, so as a last resort, Emperor Kangxi moved the most strict prince Lao Si to the head of the household department, specifically responsible for recovering loans, but let the other princes take a good look at the excitement, especially Lao Jiu and Lao Shi turned into sellers on the street in order to repay the arrears of the household department, which pushed the whole recovery battle to the highest point, that is, the fourth master has a hard waist and a stubborn personality, so he can withstand all kinds of pressure and completely recover all the arrears outside the household.

It's not that El forgot about it, but because of trust.

She trusts the fourth master, she believes that the fourth master will not do cannibalism, so she unilaterally left the same suspicious fourth master behind, coupled with the sudden death of the eighth master, Erfu, who has always been relatively simple, made a dumbfounded but most likely guess, that is, the eighth was imprisoned because of the failure to seize the throne, and there is no hope, and the eighth who is not willing to be imprisoned to death in order to pull the fourth master into the water, resolutely gave up his own life, and fulfilled his other brothers, such as Lao Jiu and Lao Shi, and then for example, Lao Jiu's own brother, the fifth prince Yinqi, who has always had no sense of existence, or other princely brothers。

After all, there are so many princes of the old man Kangxi, and the eighth child who has always been popular has always been good, in addition to the-for-tat with the fourth master, and the prince is not on good terms, the relationship with other brothers is not bad, although he lost a small life, but I believe that after the other princes ascend the throne, they will definitely re-admit him to the temple, pass on his stepson, and inherit the bloodline, so as not to let him wander outside like this, until the end of his life, and finally be a helpless lonely ghost.

Although this seems a ridiculous idea to modern people, in the minds of these native-born ancient people, it is a matter of course, otherwise those emperors would not have done such a boring thing as whipping corpses, and after Lao Bayi was angry and made a rebellion, it does not mean that he does not regret it, but he also knows that he has no possibility of going out, let alone fighting for that chair again, so he did this kind of thing and framed the fourth master who was in charge of supervising him in order to sell it to other brothers, which is a natural thing.

In short, Elof sat in her study, silently confirming her own guesses.

After her additions, this speculation became more and more true, and she became more and more convinced that in order to help the fourth master come out of the Zongren Mansion faster, although she was in accordance with Concubine De's explanation and no longer pretended to be smart to visit, it did not prevent her from telling this speculation to Chen Fu, who was busy in the front yard.

Of course, in order not to make this incident a joke for herself, she chose a very vague method of suggestion, and she wrote a note to Chen Fu.

Self-directed and self-acting, just four words.

She believes that if a smart person like Chen Fu can also associate the eighth child from these four words, then it means that her guess is more reliable, and it will better prove the fact that the fourth master was framed.

It's just that she didn't expect that when Chen Fu saw these four words, she was scared into a cold sweat.

In this play, who is directing and acting by himself, no one knows better than Chen Fu as the executor, in fact, the fourth master is far from being as innocent as Erfu imagined, the eighth has been assassinated repeatedly, and the fourth master has already made him unbearable, not to mention that the eighth used Honghui to assassinate Erfu, which made him grit his teeth with hatred, after more than a year of arrangement, the fourth master's plan to get rid of the eighth child finally became perfect.

Since he has sent the eighth child to the captivity, how can he not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, who knows if Emperor Kangxi will let go of the eighth child softly, so he chose to do it before Emperor Kangxi relented, even if he did so, it might make Emperor Kangxi suspicious of him, but as long as he arranged it carefully enough, this matter would become an unsolved case, and he might even detain this basin on the heads of other brothers.

With this in mind, he did it.

It's just that he's overlooked one thing, and that's the possible reaction of Erf.

When he was grounded, when Erfu came to visit him in the Zongren Mansion, he really had a momentary weakness, but fortunately, after years of experience and various tribulations, he had developed the calmness of Mount Tai collapsed and did not change, and he quickly calmed down, and expressed the words he wanted to say to Emperor Kangxi step by step through the opportunity to say to Erfu, which seemed to be a little better than the originally expected situation.

And Chen Fu, who stayed outside to continue the layout, was also acting.

At this moment, Erfu, who was hidden in the dark, suddenly said the phrase self-directed and self-acting, how could Chen Fu not be shocked, although he knew that this Chang Fujin would not betray the fourth master no matter what, nor would he stand up to testify against the fourth master, but when he thought of this Chang Fujin's heart, he could already imagine how angry and angry Erfu would be when he learned that all this was the fourth master's plan, and the fourth master would definitely be angry with him, the executor, just thinking about it, Chen Fu was already in a cold sweat.

However, in the end, it was the master who had gone through strong winds and waves, and Chen Fu quickly calmed down.

He hurriedly put the note sent by Erfu to the candlestick and burned it, and explained that the little eunuch continued to stare at the news outside, and walked quickly to the main courtyard, intending to ask Erfu for clarification, because such a vague news is really too many possibilities, in order not to expose his shortcomings, of course he has to go over and ask for clarification.

It's a pity that Erf didn't want to make it clear to him.

This note was handed over to Zhao Dezhu to send to Chen Fu in the front yard, and Erfu had already gone to Lanyue Tower to listen to the play easily, and the people who went to Lanyue Tower to listen to the play with Erfu, as well as the complicated Tong Jiashi and Li Hezhu Li Fang Fujin, the three Fujin on the first and second sides of the house all went to Lanyue Tower to listen to the play, even if the corners of the opera team were still asleep at this time, they naturally had to hurry over and wait.

On the stage, a warm-up trick is trying to play tricks and turn heels.

Erfu, Tong Jiashi, and Li sat in three directions of a square table, drinking mellow and refreshing hot tea, eating small snacks carefully prepared in the small kitchen, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious as if it was a girlfriend party.

It's just that she can't insist on coming to her.

Because next to a square table, three people can sit down, she is now Shu Fujin, and she is not qualified to let anyone present make room for her, and in the end she had to sit at the empty table next to Tong Jia's, and did not go to watch the tricks of the hard performance on the stage, her neck stretched out, and she tried to blend into the chat content of the three of them, but unfortunately in front of Erfu, Tong Jia's family had the intention to win over Da Li's family, and she didn't pay attention to her at all, and finally only made her more embarrassed.

"Qiang Li Qiang Li, Mi Mi Mi ......"

As the musicians waiting on the stage accelerated the tempo, the warm-up tricks on the stage, the faster the turnovers became, and Erfu, who had come to see the play many times, of course understood that this was to inform the officials in front of her, the famous actors in the backstage were ready, and the main play was about to start, she raised her hand with a smile, pointed to the direction of the stage, and signaled Tong Jiashi and Li, who were talking with her, to pay attention to the movement on the stage.

But it's a pity that the main drama here just started, and Chen Fu came over.

Although she didn't want to think about those troubles anymore, she couldn't refute Chen Fu's face, so she had to smile apologetically at Tong Jiashi and Li Hezhu Li Fangfujin, got up and left, Erfu left like this, Da Li was very happy, but because Erfu was sitting in the right direction of a square table just now, even if she wanted to sit over and chat with Tong Jiashi immediately, she couldn't help but pay attention to proportion.

On the other side, Erfu came out of the main building of Lanyue Tower, the three-storey building, and came directly to the warm pavilion behind Lanyue Tower, she saw Chen Fu who was sweating, smiled lightly, took the initiative to open the chatterbox, and asked in a low voice: "I think my father-in-law has already understood the hint I gave you, I don't know how my father-in-law plans to arrange it next?"

Chen Fu, who originally wanted to come over to hear the news, was willing to take the initiative.

He pretended to shake his head bitterly, pretending to be at a loss, and asked: "Fu Jin is very wise, the old slave really can't understand Fu Jin's hint, so he came here to ask for advice." ”

It was rare to have the opportunity to be a teacher, and Erfu did not show off, beckoned to Chen Fu with a smile, motioned him to step forward, and whispered his own guess.

I have to say that listening to Erfu's guess about him after telling him, Chen Fu was stunned.

Because this is simply a copy of what the fourth master said when he explained to him, even the expression is almost the same, such a similarity made Chen Fudu begin to wonder if the fourth master had already told Erfu the whole plan, but in order not to blow himself up, he still expressed his agreement with Erfu's guess with admiration.

"Since you agree with my speculation, let's hurry up and make arrangements. Erfu, who was proud of and praised for his own IQ, did not notice the strangeness in Chen Fu's eyes, and after speaking, he gave Chen Fu an eviction order, got up and returned to Lanyue Tower to listen to the play.

Because she thinks that she has seen through the old eight's self-directed and self-acting plays, she wants to listen to the children's drama for a while and relieve her fatigue.
