Chapter 644: Either robbery of money or robbery of medicine money!
Emperor Kangxi immediately waved to the Fourth Master and said, "Fourth Master, come and take a look with me. This is the sweet potato he sent back this time."
As Emperor Kangxi spoke, he casually handed the memorial to the Fourth Master and turned to look at the box in the hands of the Imperial Guards Commander.
"Your Majesty, there are still some areas suffering from famine. If the land could be used to grow sweet potatoes, it would probably help alleviate the urgent need. Lord Fucha is doing this to benefit the people of the world. I believe you deserve a reward."
Emperor Kangxi was also in high spirits at this moment. He laughed heartily after hearing this and said, "You are right. Reward, it is a reward."
Afterwards, the father and son carefully read the memorial from Lord Fucha and checked the potatoes. Emperor Kangxi then asked the craftsmen to cultivate them well.
Then he looked at the commander of the imperial guards beside him and said, "Yue Dongyang, why are you standing there with a frown on your face? If you have something to say, just say it."
Yue Dongyang, the commander of the Imperial Guards, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, there is something. Recently, a guard reported that a tiger had attacked someone in the city. A pair of guards were dispatched, but they were unable to harm the tiger. The guard also reported that the tiger's attacks were extremely fast, which was somewhat unusual."
Emperor Kangxi frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Did the people suffer any harm?"
Yue Dongming nodded and said, "Your Majesty, this tiger attacked and injured two children, but no one was killed."
Emperor Kangxi nodded upon hearing this and said, "Call a group of elite soldiers to conduct a thorough investigation. Even if they cannot be hunted down, they must be driven away to avoid harming the civilians."
Yue Dongming immediately nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Master raised his eyebrows and said, "Father, why don't you let me go and take a look?"
Emperor Kangxi glanced at his son's sincere face. In the end, he said nothing, but waved his hand and said, "Go, take care of yourself and don't get hurt."
In fact, Emperor Kangxi still trusted the skills of his fourth son, so he drove away both the Fourth Master and Yue Dongming.
Looking at the backs of the two, Emperor Kangxi rolled his eyes and said, "This fourth brother is quite cunning."
Liang Jiugong, who was standing beside him, saw Emperor Kangxi's smiling face and said at the right moment, "Your Majesty, I have seen that our Fourth Master is good in every way, but I have never seen that he has any hidden agenda."
Emperor Kangxi laughed when he heard this: "How could you tell? He's just trying to scare you guys. He doesn't want me to go back to his house with him. He did it on purpose. And he thinks I don't know?"
Liang Jiugong laughed again after hearing this: "Your Majesty, this is impossible, right? The prince has always loved you dearly and is always thinking of you. He always thinks of sending you a portion of whatever he eats. How could he not like you coming to his house? I think it's just as your Majesty said, he's afraid that he won't be able to entertain His Majesty well."
"Oh, you still can't see him clearly." Emperor Kangxi said quietly, "This brat is just too proud. I think he must feel that the children can't speak yet and it's embarrassing for him, so he won't let me go.
I don't know who the fourth son inherited this character from. I hope my good grandson won't become a dull person."
Liang Jiugong didn't dare to respond lightly. He immediately served a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, these little princes are still young this year. It's not too late for children to speak after they turn one year old. The emperor's grandchildren are all smart and clever. The Fourth Prince of the Fourth Master's Mansion looks very similar to Your Majesty. I think he must be very smart. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."
Emperor Kangxi exhaled again and waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it. When they turn one year old, I will go and take a good look at my grandchildren."
But after thinking carefully, Emperor Kangxi frowned again and said, "No, I still have to find time to go and take a look."
Before Liang Jiugong said this, Emperor Kangxi hadn't thought much of it. But now, thinking carefully, if the grandson who looked most like him was actually stupid, how could it be possible? He had better go and see him to feel at ease.
…
As for the Fourth Master, after he took on the task of beating the tiger, he never saw the tiger from beginning to end.
I searched for the tiger outside the city, but after searching for several days, I couldn't find any trace of it.
The days gradually became busier. During the day, he was busy in the court. After the court, he would go for a walk outside the city and then return home to teach his sons.
Before going to bed at night, it is inevitable to have some fun with some wine.
Life is nourishing and fulfilling.
But the Fourth Master always felt as if he had forgotten something important.
It was not until September, when the weather had turned cooler, that Black Wind brought the news.
It was said that the Fourth Young Master had been spotted again inside the Raindrop Chamber of Commerce. Furthermore, he had offered a Fire Ganoderma and a Wood Ganoderma at once, and the final transaction price was a staggering 500,000 taels.
The Fourth Master suddenly remembered that he had forgotten about this matter.
Because of this Fourth Young Master, the Fourth Master also remembered the story of the snow lotus from the Western Regions. In all his busy chatter, how could he have forgotten to ask Jiu'er how he got the snow lotus?
Although he was thinking about this matter in his mind, the Fourth Master felt that he still had to meet the Fourth Young Master.
He rushed to the Raindrop Chamber of Commerce without stopping.
Even if he rode as fast as he could, he was still a step behind. When he entered, the fourth young master had already left.
Before they knew it, he slipped away again, and Heifeng and his men were unable to catch him.
The Fourth Master was in a bad mood for the moment, so he simply jumped on his horse and went on patrol outside the city with the guards.
"That was a close call. We got rid of him. Sister-in-law Si, thank goodness you were smart! Otherwise, we would have really been blocked by this guy today!"
"Who is this guy? By now, the Raindrop Chamber of Commerce is full of his people, and people are often asking about you in the streets and alleys."
Wen Jiu was leaning against the wall, and he patted his chest. "He's probably a man with bad intentions. Now the whole of Kyoto knows I have money. He came to me, either to rob me of my money or to steal my medicinal herbs!"
Jiu Ye heard this and nodded: "It's very possible. I'll ask someone to find out what kind of person he is when I have a chance."
Wen Jiu heard this and nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
"Why are we being so polite? Go in quickly and don't waste time." Jiu Ye waved to Wen Jiu.
Seeing the warm wine on the wall, he couldn't help but add, "By the way, my wife really likes the cake that Little Fourth Sister-in-law made. Can you send me some later?"
As soon as he said this, the listless Tenth Master beside him immediately perked up: "Give me some too, Little Fourth Sister-in-law. I haven't eaten in a long time!"
"I know, I know. You guys should hurry back."
Wenjiu said goodbye to the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master and rushed back without stopping.
Fortunately, today's trip went very smoothly, and I got at least 500,000 taels.
In addition, during these days, he asked Jiu Ye to sell him a few not-so-eye-catching medicinal herbs, and he managed to collect nearly two million taels.
He simply exchanged for two more spirit stones. After getting these two spirit stones, Wenjiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Now it is barely enough, and I can’t go out for a while.
This guy is really annoying. Why is he staring at me for no reason? I should at least let him sell it for more money.
After returning to the house, it took a long time for him to tidy up and wash his face. In a moment, he saw Su Peisheng with a pale face walking into the house.
"Concubine, something bad has happened!"
Wenjiu was startled: "What happened?"
Su Peisheng: "The prince was suddenly attacked by a tiger today and was injured."
