On the way to the Tianlao, the news that Fucha Maska had committed suicide in the Tianlao quickly spread throughout the capital.

Most people's first reaction is disbelief.

After all, "the law does not hold everyone responsible." Kangxi seemed furious, but everyone knew that it was impossible for Kangxi to hold all the officials of the Imperial Household Department accountable.

If the Imperial Household Department were to collapse, at least half of the royal family's private property would be lost, and this is a conservative estimate.

The worst outcome would be that Kangxi would deal with a few families with serious corruption, and for the rest, Kangxi would most likely confiscate most of their wealth and then release them.

Maska, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, intercepted a lot of tribute, but the Fucha brothers had always been Kangxi's confidants. Even if Kangxi was angry, he would not target Maska.

But now the one who lost his life first was Musk, which made them all a little confused.

At the Eighth Prince's Mansion, Yinsi had just returned from duty and before he had time to change his clothes in the front yard, he heard the doorman report:

"Master, Prince An is here to visit."

Yinsi paused for a moment, and then a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes, but he concealed it so well that no one noticed.

"Take him to the study. I'll go change and come back later."

“Yeah.”

By the time Yinsi changed into casual clothes and came to the study, Marhun was already anxious and restless.

When he saw Yinsi, he didn't even bother to greet him, but came up to him and said anxiously,

"Lord Beile, I have received news that this incident is closely related to the Crown Prince. Even Maska's death was most likely caused by someone under the Crown Prince's command..."

When Yinsi heard this, his face suddenly turned unhappy.

"Where did you get this information? Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, don't talk nonsense."

Marhun saw the anxious expression on Yinsi's face and froze for a moment.

"Lord Beile, what are you doing?"

What he told Yinsi was the key information that could bring down the prince, so why did Yinsi have such an attitude?

Yinsi took a deep breath, knowing that his attitude was wrong, but his patience with Marhun had reached the edge of the cliff. If he continued to be hypocritical, he was afraid that he would suffocate to death.

"Uncle An, this matter involves many people. It's best if you don't get involved."

"Why not?"

Marhun frowned, and a flash of displeasure appeared on his face. All of this was seen by Yinsi.

Yinsi sneered in his heart.

Whenever this guy faced him alone, he always called himself "This King". He knew very well how respectful he was to him.

Marhun calmed himself down and said,

"Although I don't have any evidence yet, the Emperor suddenly decided to go to Maska's house, and the Crown Prince accompanied him the entire time. Moreover, the Crown Prince was the only one accompanying the Emperor at the time. Doesn't this prove something is wrong?"

"not to mention……"

He paused, trying to arouse Yinsi's curiosity, but to his disappointment, the expression on Yinsi's face remained as dull as ever.

Malhun's hand hidden in his sleeve pinched lightly. The Eighth Prince's behavior today was not right. He quickly went over what he had done recently in his mind, but he couldn't figure out what he had done wrong to offend Yinsi.

"What's more?"

Yinsi suppressed his impatience and asked casually.

Marhun came back to his senses from his thoughts.

"As far as I know, before the Emperor left the palace, news spread that the Emperor was going to investigate the Internal Affairs Department and ordered everyone to deal with what needed to be dealt with. As a result, several minor officials escaped harm."

Upon hearing this, Yinsi sat up straight in an instant.

"Where did you get this news?"

——This is the reaction that Yinsi should have!

After getting the feedback he expected, Malhun did not feel relieved at all. Instead, his doubts increased. What happened to Yinsi today?

If the prince is pulled down, he will be a few inches closer to that position, so his attitude should not be so indifferent.

"This... was handed over by someone I buried in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Marhun's eyes flickered, and it was obvious that he was not telling the truth.

Yinsi narrowed his eyes and decided to appease Marhun first.

"Are you sure you can bring down the Crown Prince this time? Uncle An, if it was really because of the Crown Prince's words that the Emperor decided to force his way into the Maska household, can't you see the Crown Prince's position in the Emperor's heart?"

"this……"

Yinsi's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Marhun's head, making him sober up instantly.

Yinsi is right.

Being able to be the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, in charge of the emperor's purse, Maska himself is highly valued by the emperor.

If it was really because of a few words from the Crown Prince yesterday that the Emperor decided to disregard his dignity and break into the residence of his trusted and important minister, then the relationship between the Emperor and the Crown Prince must be much stronger than they imagined!
