Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

In the palace, there was a sentry every five steps and a post every ten steps. The strict security made Bafujin feel particularly heavy.

Longkodo had obviously taken control of the entire palace. He walked in front of him, and instead of simply saying hello as in the past, the guards knelt down to say hello.

Bafujin took these cold looks into his heart and walked forward calmly.

After Haifeng left, Longkodo occupied her and Duobu's rooms, sleeping on the same bed they had slept on every day, waiting quietly for the day when the prince ascended the throne.

Before entering, Longkodo seemed to have remembered something. He stopped in the green yard and conducted a thorough body search on Bafujin.

"By the way, there's that little thing called a pistol. Yes, that's the name. If you bring this in, it's not a joke to hit me twice."

Longkodo really enjoyed this process of smuggling. He carefully touched Bafujin's body and touched her all over. He was so disgusted that she endured it with all his strength, so he didn't curse.

No gun was found, so Longkodo pulled out all the sharp hairpins on Bafujin's head. Then he felt relieved and asked his men to untie her.

"These pieces of jewelry are for you. No one is allowed to put them in. I want to interrogate her."

Before Ba Fu Jin came in, Qibele showed her the drawings of the palace, and explained in detail who lived in each courtyard and what words were inscribed on the plaques in the courtyards. Bafujin recognized that this was the residence of the fourth princess, and was quite sure of his beauty trap.

Longkodo may really be a little obsessed with the fourth princess.

After everyone else left, she and Longkodo were the only ones left in the yard. Bafujin timidly lowered his head, held the three thousand green silk hairs that were messy because of the loss of the hairpin ring, and shed tears skillfully.

"Why humiliate people like this? If you want to know anything, just ask."

"Hmph, do you think everyone is the fool like Eighth Prince?"

Longkoduo grabbed Bafujin's hair and dragged him directly into the house. Bafujin screamed in pain, but Longkodo's hands became harder and harder. She hit the door frame, the corner of the table, and touched her ribs and left arm. Her carefully maintained skin immediately became bruised. . Longkodo finally threw her hard on the floor tiles, and Bafujin felt that several teeth in his mouth were loose.

She had never been beaten like this in her life, and her tears burst out uncontrollably.

Longkodo was quite satisfied with her reaction. He calmly sat down at the table and officially began the interrogation.

"Did the Fourth Princess send you here?"

Bafujin secretly took a look at his expression and tried to give false information as planned.

"No. I, I didn't tell anyone that I left the capital privately. The eighth master was always not at home, and I missed him. Zhong Jihai was close to the fourth princess and could get the warrant to leave the capital. She wanted to see the tenth prince, We discussed it, and we came together. It’s absolutely true, if you can catch Zhong Jihai, I dare to talk to her face to face about this matter."

Longkodo didn't believe a word of it, so he thought about the pile of clothes again. This time he used a dagger to cut open all the stitches, and finally found the jade ring, and raised it to Bafujin's eyes to question.

"what is this?"

"This is mine. Zhong Jihai said that we probably won't be able to enter the palace, so we have to tell Master Ba and ask him to come out to see me."

"What did she tell you?"

"She returned to the capital two days earlier than the fourth princess. When she came back, she stayed in our house. She said that the eighth master had brought back a letter. I asked her what the letter was, but she refused to tell me. Later, the fourth princess returned to the capital. The capital is sealed like an iron barrel..."

Longkodo turned his eyes and took the ring in his hand to Bafujin to try on. Sure enough, it fit perfectly with the middle finger of his left hand. Only then did he start to believe it. When talking to her, his tone softened.

"So that's it. Fujin, the palace is not peaceful at the moment. I am also taking orders from His Highness the Crown Prince, so I have to be more vigilant. Listen to what Fujin said, the fourth princess has the final say in the capital now?"

"When I left, it was ten days ago. She brought troops and lived in the Forbidden City after entering Beijing. No one dared to ask. I vaguely heard someone from my uncle's family mentioning that Ma Qi, the great scholar, was asked in vain. She said, "How is the emperor?" She beat me so hard that I only had half a life left. I never dealt with her, and I was afraid that she would come to deal with me. Zhong Jihai said that he would take me away, so I followed her out. "

"Does Fujin trust Zhong Jihai so much?"

The right side of Bafujin's face, which had not been beaten, turned red, and his answering voice became softer and quieter.

"What should I say... She and Lao Shi... Oh, don't worry, and don't hit me again. Don't tell others, it's me who said it. Zhong Jihai and Lao Shi have slept together countless times. Now. Lao Shi is close to my eighth master, and Zhong Jihai is in my house. I treat her like a sister-in-law. Lao Shi doesn’t have a house, so they have no place to hang out, so they often live in my house."

After saying that, he took off a pair of watermelon tourmaline pendants from his ears and handed them to Longkodo.

"This belongs to Zhong Jihai. Just go to Lao Shi and ask. I just don't know if he is willing to admit it. Master Ba said that Lao Shi is just playing with Zhong Jihai and will not marry her. I think so. Zhong Jihai was truly in love and always hoped that they would succeed. So he took away the earrings and promised to put in a good word for her."

Longkodo thought to himself, this is not easy, just take it to a pair with the tenth prince and you will know. He took the earrings and put them in his arms. He also used his torn trousers to tie Bafujin tightly to the table leg. After taking care of this, before he could go out, the guard who had just been ordered to guard suddenly rushed through the door.

"Boss, the Crown Prince is here, and he wants to see Ba ​​Fujin by name. The young ones couldn't stop him, so they just came in after talking."

"fine."

Longkodo originally wanted this man to stay and take care of Bafujin, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind.

On the word "color" is a knife.

It doesn't matter if the Eighth Fortune Jin throws himself into his arms or the guards take advantage of him, if something happens and the Eighth Fortune Jin runs away, maybe something big will happen to him.

This cannot be taken lightly.

Longkodo thought that Bafujin could not escape, so he locked her in the house and went out to deal with the prince.

The prince had already rushed to the yard. He saw Longkodo taking his time and locking the door. He didn't care about anything else. He wanted to go in and ask Bafujin about his words. Unfortunately, Longkodo took the lead and locked the door.

"Your Highness, I know that you are anxious. There has been no news about Tuoheqi, and the Crown Princess is still not sure whether she has been rescued or not. But whether Ba Fujin's words are trustworthy or not, we have to go and check with the Tenth Master first. . When the two sides are facing each other, it’s not too late to ask her again.”

"Lao Shi? He's only a half-year-old kid. What does he know? You beat him up like that and you didn't even ask a single question?"

"Asking him about the fourth princess, naturally he has no clue. The fourth princess is not stupid, how can he tell this straight man the real thing? However, when asking him about his romantic debts, there should be a few words. ?"    "Romantic debt? I have never heard of any girl whom Old Ten messed with."  

"Your Highness, what do you know? Without me, you almost couldn't keep your position as crown prince. Everyone pretends to be a gentleman in front of the emperor. Behind the scenes, even the orphan girl left by Galdan dares to grope. If you shake them all out, maybe they’re not even clean before me!”

Longkodo didn't give the prince time to react and walked out. The prince was so angry that he stamped his feet, but he had no choice but to follow him.

There were too many people to be imprisoned. Except for some of the courtiers and clan members who agreed to fall to the prince, including Longkodo's biological father Tong Guojiu, all were imprisoned.

Although the rooms in the palace were sufficient, the more scattered they were, the less conducive to management, so Longkodo just divided everyone into two courtyards according to men and women. They were given only a small amount of food and water every day to prevent them from having the strength to escape.

The eighth prince went out to see his wife and knew that she was in serious danger this time. After being escorted back, he couldn't stop crying.

Brother Ninth has been imprisoned since he was imprisoned. Except for going out for trial, he has been easily immobile and conserved precious physical strength. It was rare to move today, so I walked slowly to his side.

"Bago, she's not dead yet. It's unlucky for you to cry in a hurry. My sister-in-law is here. This is a good thing! It must have been the fourth sister who sent her to save us! Don't cry. We are all here. Let's think about it together. Find a way!"

At first, Longkodo suddenly launched an attack to arrest the princes. The tenth prince resisted the most fiercely and received the most beatings. After being raised for several days, he could barely move around now. Hearing what the ninth prince said, he was quite disapproving.

"Unless the fourth brother-in-law and the seventh brother come and use artillery to blow open the palace gate, I will feel that there is something interesting, otherwise it will be all in vain. What can my sister-in-law do if she is a woman?"

Brother Jiu was about to retaliate when he heard the sound of people moving in the yard. He suddenly came to his senses and walked over one by one to confess to the brothers in the room.

"No matter who they ask later, they will say nothing! I will wrap up all your words by myself! Do you hear me?"

As soon as he finished his instructions, Longkodo happened to come in with the prince. Seeing that the princes were all weak and slumped on the haystack, unable to move, the eighth prince was crying again, and he felt indescribably proud. He took out the pair of tourmaline earrings and showed off in front of the tenth prince in an arrogant manner.

"Master Ten, you are a master after all. Don't dare to do it or admit it. This lawsuit has been filed. Come with me and meet the owner of the suffering."

The 10th prince didn't pay much attention to women's jewelry and didn't recognize who it belonged to, but the 8th prince and the 9th prince did.

This was the essence of Ba Fujin's dowry. Back then, it was given to Ba Age in advance and used to pawn shops to turn around money. Suddenly Zhong Jihai came to the capital, and the four princesses held a banquet to entertain her. Bafujin was in a hurry and asked for the pair of earrings back, keeping them for Zhong Jihai as a meeting gift.

The person responsible for handling this matter was Brother Jiu at that time.

The tenth elder brother was confused, but the ninth elder brother's mind had already changed.

"Oh, tenth brother, let me tell you, it's not good for you to offend anyone, but Zhong Jihai. Is she a young lady from an ordinary family? If she makes a fuss, she will be given a random status at worst."

If other things were put on his head out of nowhere, the tenth prince would definitely deny it. But he was a little attracted to Zhong Jihai. After being accused, he hesitated several times, but in the end he did not deny it.

As the elder brother, the prince also felt that his face was dull. As soon as he started to lecture him, the fifth elder brother suddenly jumped out to protect the tenth elder brother.

"Old Ten has grown up and just has a crush on a woman. Even if he is wrong, you are not worthy of criticizing him! I am not as boneless as the third brother. After being whipped, I can't distinguish between right and wrong and fall to your side. Go! Tell me! Where’s Khan’s Ama? Where’s my eldest brother? What did you do to them? Also, where’s Mama? Where are the sisters? Are you still not a human being? You’re crazy to want to be the emperor, aren’t you!”

"Having said that, gentlemen, I dare to say a few words."

Longkodo threw the pair of earrings to Brother Ten, asked someone to bring a chair in, sat down comfortably, and slowly began to negotiate terms with them.

"Your Majesty, it's just a matter of these few hours."

The youngest brother, Thirteen, burst into tears. Longkodo didn't take him seriously at all, and just continued to stare at the other princes who had their own agendas.

"Zhong Jihai and Ba Fu Jin are both in my hands. Eighth Master and Tenth Master, don't be impulsive and think about it carefully. Wouldn't it be a good idea to make yourself an iron-hatted prince, lead your respective Fu Jin, and go home to enjoy peace and happiness? Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager will be there immediately. It’s easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree of the Fifth Master, so I don’t dare to offend you. The Emperor is buried in a grand ceremony, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne. It’s such a natural thing, why bother causing chaos in the world?”

The fifth elder brother didn't give him any face. He squeezed out the last bit of strength from his body and loudly questioned Longkodo.

"Khan Ama treats you well. He is still your cousin and a traitor! I will repay kindness with hatred. Who are you? You are not worthy to talk to me! We were really indebted to us for calling you my uncle for so many years!"

"Okay! Then I dare to ask: When Fifth Master called me 'uncle', did he really treat me as an elder even once?"

The fifth elder brother turned away and did not answer. Longkoduo stood up and glanced at the princes one by one.

"The Tong family has a queen mother and a queen, so it doesn't matter if they raise the flag. In the eyes of all the masters, they are still just servants who can't stand on the stage. If they are all treated equally, then that's it. Why, Shun Anyan married the fifth princess, he Is that noble? Can I be on an equal footing with everyone? I just don’t believe in this evil. What’s so great about a prince-in-law? He has a good destiny and is entrusted to be the eldest grandson of the family. He doesn’t suffer the slightest hardship. Do the Tong family have to leave it to him? "

When he said this, Brother Ten heard what seemed to be some small animal barking outside. A bit like a cat, but also a bit like a bird, long and short, sometimes and sometimes not. Brother Ten didn't pay attention at first, but the sound became more and more frequent, which made him upset. He casually pulled off a jade pendant from his waist and threw it out the window to chase it away.

"A scourge, are you worthy of running wild in the palace?"

Longkodo heard that the tenth prince was criticizing Sang and Huai. He was about to step forward to argue when another thunder came to his ears.

Then, the sound of meowing became more active.

Gradually, everyone in the room heard that something was wrong.

The sound of thunder is actually the sound of cannon.

A cat's meow is actually the sound of projectiles flying in the air.

Someone is using firearms to attack the palace.

Long Keduo didn't bother to deal with the tenth prince and rushed out to give instructions. The 10th prince realized it later, smiled from ear to ear, and pointed at the prince's nose to provoke him.

"If you have the guts, kill us all and leave no one alive! Otherwise, if the fourth brother-in-law and the seventh brother come in, let alone become the emperor, you won't even be able to save your life!"
