lied to Kangxi

Chapter 549
After Yuzhu rested enough, he boarded the car and went to Cao's mansion.

Under the night, the Cao Mansion was surrounded by white banners, and it finally looked like a mass funeral.

Sitting cross-legged on the kang, the old twelve saw Yu Zhu coming in, and said first: "Don't come to those empty rituals, go straight to the kang."

Yuzhu is not an ordinary person, since the old twelve has said so, why are you polite?

Like the old twelve, Yuzhu also took off his shoes and sat on the kang.

"Oh, you came back late, I just watched a big show." The old twelve took a sip of tea, sighed and said, "Cao Yin's bones were not cold yet, Cao Quan made a fuss about breaking up the family, saying that the Li family embezzled the family The public bank of the pen."

Yuzhu smiled slightly and said: "The Cao family is making housework, what has it to do with me?"

"Why has nothing to do with you? Little Hammer's Ernie, they are so entangled." The old twelve stared, trying to catch Yu Zhu's words.

Yuzhu smiled shallowly, Mrs. Sun and Cao Yin died one after another, and the relationship between Cao Chun and the Cao family was just a matter of face.

Cao Yin's stepwife, Li Shi, met Cao Chun. Not only did he not have the slightest affection for mother and daughter, but he was a deadly enemy. Can the relationship be good?

In the final analysis, Li's desire to control is too strong, and he wants to blackmail Cao Chun and speak for Cao's family at Lao Tong's house.

When Cao Chun was not married, he pretended to be very obedient and listened to Li's everything.

After passing through the door, Cao Chun resorted to thunderous tactics and asked Yuzhu to help, and sold out all the girls and women that Li Shi had placed next to her.

In fact, Cao Chun was not qualified to sell those girls and women.Because, these servants' deeds of selling themselves are actually held in Li's hands.

But, in this man-eating society, can't one be above the laws of the country, and deserve to be called the top dignitary?
Because of Yuzhu's request, Long Kedo, who was still the admiral of the Nine Gates at the time, sold all the servants sent by the Li family on the charge of unclean hands and feet without saying a word.

Longkodo was also an extremely crazy person, he actually entrusted someone to send all the money he sold to Jiangning Weaving Yamen, and handed it to Cao Yin face to face.

As a result, the contract of sale that Mrs. Li has been holding in her hand has become a living evidence that makes people laugh.

These days, step-wife aunts and Jiefa aunts are also fundamentally different in terms of etiquette and rules.

In layman's terms, in front of Cao Yinjie's first wife, Cao Chun, a concubine, has no guts to provoke her.

However, Li Shi is only Cao Yin's stepwife, and her authority is greatly inferior.That's why Cao Chun dared to openly resist.

Seeing that Yuzhu didn't say anything, Old Twelve actually knew in his heart that Cao Yin was dead, so who would dare to offend Cao Chun?
In the past, when Mrs. Sun and Cao Yin were both alive, it was never Cao Chun's turn to uphold justice for the Cao family.

Now, Cao Chun has become the patron saint of the Cao family in a grand manner.

Yuzhu grabbed a handful of melon seeds, knocked them, and said, "Brother Twelfth, you are an expert, and the Cao family only has so little money left. How can I be mourned? I can only count on you to come out with a charter."

If it wasn't Yu Zhu who spoke, the old twelve would get angry.

Expert?Your whole family is a big insider.

The old twelve forcibly suppressed the yin fire, and said in an indifferent way: "It's just a few thousand taels of silver. If it wasn't for the Cao family's ancestral tomb, I'm afraid it would be buried in Wudaokou."

Yuzhu put down the melon seeds in his hand, sighed and said: "The matter of money is easy to talk about. I will go to ask for the decree tomorrow morning and ask Khan Ama to give me the funeral money. Anyway, Cao Yin is also a veteran who has served meritoriously. gone."

The old twelve squinted at the jade pillar and said, "According to the old rules of the old Cao Tongzheng, there is a funeral silver of 5000 taels, which is about the same."

Yuzhu understood the rules, and knew that the funeral team brought by the old twelve would not be able to help in vain.

These days, it is not uncommon for families under the banner to be unfilial in life, ostentatious in death, and show off to others.

However, after the Cao family returned to the capital, they have been sitting and eating.

The several million taels of silver that the Cao family owed for taking over the driver, was relieved because the old emperor pressed Yu Zhu's body hard.

However, the Cao family who are used to extravagance, how do they know what it means to live frugally?

In addition, the Li family and his niece, the Second Mistress Di, did not know how much money they had emptied in private?
Yuzhu thought for a while and said: "Although Khan Ama has always been sympathetic to the old ministers, Cao Yin is only a third-rank title after all. I'm afraid it's impossible to give 1 taels of silver at once."

The old twelve spread his hands and said: "In this mansion, although Ama is dead, the son-in-law is still there. Cough, let him borrow it. Even those people I brought, if they only accept a little bit of money, they will be fine." It can’t be less than 1000 taels, right? If those grandsons have no money to earn, the funeral will most likely be disgraceful. In the future, it will still be the Cao family who will be ashamed.”

Yuzhu nodded, to save his face, the old twelve really didn't want to blackmail the Cao family's money.

In the past, as long as the old twelve came forward to take care of the funeral, the bereaved household's thank-you money, no matter how small, would not dare to be less than 2000 taels of silver.

Old Twelve is not only the old emperor's own son, but also the dignified Beizi. With such a noble status, who would dare to neglect him?

Needless to say, relying on the filial piety of the bereaved households, the old twelve's life is not much worse than that of the old eighteen.

"Brother Twelfth, you also know that if someone else dies in this mansion, Cao Yin is still there, so you can borrow some money. The trouble is, the master who is the pillar died." Yuzhu sighed, and then Said, "Why is Cao Quan in such a hurry to split the family? Isn't he just looking for money from Zhuo Jing?"

The old twelve giggled, and said, "I knew for a long time that such a small scheme of the Cao family would not be hidden from your eyes. Well, you are my younger brother. Since you opened your mouth, no matter how difficult it is, I will not hide it from you." Helping you out. You don’t need to give the thank-you money from the subordinates, I’ve managed them for you, it should be very interesting, right?”

Yu Zhu hurriedly cupped his hands to express his thanks, and said sincerely: "Brother Twelfth's kindness, my younger brother has recorded it."

The old twelve waved his hands and said, "Looking at the decay of the Cao family, I'm afraid that it will bring down the younger brothers and sisters of the Cao family in the future."

This was not clearly stated, but it reminded Yuzhu that from now on, the Cao family would borrow money and borrow money again, and it is likely that there will never be peace.

Yuzhu knew in his heart that the Cao family was nothing, and they were not worthy of sympathy.

However, when Fu Peng grows up in the future, one day he will know the real life experience.

If Fu Peng recognized Cao Yi, and Cao Yi secretly provoked a few words, it would be hard for Yuzhu not to be complained by his own son.

Yuzhu had already made preparations, and now that the old twelfth had come to this point, he deliberately let it out: "Brother twelfth, the Cao family is in trouble about the separation, and I need your help to talk about it."

Old Twelve nodded and said with a smile: "If Khan Ama asks, I will say that if the family is not separated, the Cao family will lose even faster."

Yuzhu held up the teacup and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Twelve, for your great help."

The old twelve waved his hand and said, "I also know that as long as the family is completely separated, you only need to take care of your decent wife and brother."

Yuzhu also realized that the old twelve didn't mention Cao Yin's stepwife, the Li family.

Having said that, the feudal etiquette of the Qing Dynasty strictly protected wives who had married hair, while they often weakened the authority of wives who continued their strings.

In the early morning, when it was completely dark, Yuzhu entered the palace.

While relaxing the tendons and collaterals for the old emperor, Yuzhu deliberately talked about the poor situation of the Cao family.

After hearing this, the old emperor sighed heavily, and said, "If it wasn't for your reminder, I almost forgot to give the funeral silver. Wang Chaoqing, go and get 8000 taels of silver and give it to the Cao family for funeral arrangements."

"Hey." Wang Chaoqing received the order, turned around and went to the inner treasury to pick up the money.

Yuzhu knew that the old emperor was very nostalgic, so he said a lot of bad things about Cao Quan.

"Old man, how can a brother force his sister-in-law to split the family when his body is still cold?" Yuzhu knew that what the old emperor didn't like to hear the most was the disrespectful stories of brothers and sisters, so he deliberately put Cao Quan's A handful of salt was sprinkled on the wound.

A courtier or a favorite, why is everyone afraid?
The most fundamental thing is that Yuzhu can see the old emperor every day, and he stays for more than half an hour.

Even if the old emperor had some misunderstandings, Yu Zhu would stay by his side, and it was extremely convenient to explain.

In this kind of cannibalistic society, whoever can meet the old emperor in time will master the "big Ivan" who can destroy the world.

"Hmph, that prodigal son of Cao Quan, I have long disliked him." The old emperor suddenly turned his head to look at Yuzhu, "Your brain is clever, help me think of a way to deal with Cao Quan without hurting the Cao family. decent?"

In fact, Yu Zhu had already thought of a solution, but deliberately pretended to be thinking hard, and dragged on for a quarter of an hour before suggesting: "Master, the brothers of the Cao family have always had a deep relationship, why don't we let Cao Quan stay in the Cao family's ancestral grave?" Over there, living in thatched huts, remembering the brotherhood of the deceased brother every day?"

"Okay, very good, sure." The old emperor was very satisfied, and his eyes became extraordinarily kind.

This little bastard, Yuzhu, was clever, and actually made a slight modification of the bad move of guarding the mausoleum, and put Cao Quanyin into the trap.

Just when Yuzhu was about to leave, the old emperor suddenly said, "Cao Jia lived alone in the temple for a long time, you should visit her often. After all, she is Fu Peng's biological mother."

"Whoo."

Yuzhu knew it well, and it had become the old emperor's instinct to always find the best balance among all kinds of relationships.

As long as the living evidence of Fu Peng is in hand, the old emperor doesn't even need to find an excuse, and he can kill Yuzhu anytime and anywhere.

The old emperor is a human being, not a god, and his words are also prioritized.

However, after Yuzhu left the palace, he didn't go to Cao Mansion immediately, but drove directly to Minzhong Temple.

Only the old bannermen in the imperial capital know that the Minzhong Temple, built in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, is actually the oldest famous temple in the imperial capital.It was not until the Yongzheng Dynasty was rebuilt that Minzhong Temple was renamed "Fayuan Temple".

In the Jingkang year of the Northern Song Dynasty, after the Jin soldiers captured Bianjing, they captured the Hui and Qin emperors and went north, where Song Qinzong was once imprisoned.
