11 011 Secret Report
◎Holy crap! Is this the legendary sticky place?◎
Mrs. Zhen suddenly asked such a question, which caught Jia Min off guard. No, which lady of the house spoke with such low EQ.
It was as if she did it on purpose.
Someone actually asked guests if their own things were good?
Can they say to their faces that they were not good?
So they just want to show off and let others praise them, right?
Looking at Mrs. Zhen's upright, boring, white, fat, and silver-basin-like face, Jia Min showed an awkward but polite smile. She was thinking of saying a few polite words to prevaricate, but unexpectedly, Mo Yu's inner complaints started again...
[Emma, Mrs. Zhen, can you be more careful? You are still talking about tea... This tea is of course good, it is really great! It is better than the one presented as a tribute to His Majesty... So, don't you know that if your family keeps showing off, you will soon fall into the trap of tea? 】After
saying this, not only Mrs. Zhen was shocked, but also Jia Min was taken aback.
As for why Mo Yu suddenly said this, it was purely because System 006 played the latest gossip for him again.
In fact, the tea that the Zhen family took out to entertain Jia Min and the others was of good quality. It was a new tribute tea specially prepared for Master Kang this year.
Jiangnan has always been a place that produces famous teas, especially Biluochun from Suzhou, which is one of the best on the list of famous teas.
As a native dog from the modern world, Mo Yu originally had no knowledge of tea leaves. After all, tea leaves, thrown into water and soaked, the fragrance filled the nose, and it tasted good, that was all, who knew what the names were.
Fortunately, although he was a layman who knew nothing about tea leaves, System 006 was not. This thing not only gossiped, but also accumulated a lot of useless little knowledge... * Well, it was actually quite useful. It was definitely not because he was afraid that he would accidentally tell the truth and anger System 006, so he would not give him scientific knowledge in the future.
In short, thanks to System 006, Mo Yu knew that what Mrs. Zhen brought out today was this year's new tribute-grade Biluochun ().
Since it was to be presented to Master Kang, it must be the top grade.
The problem is, it's fine to pay tribute to Master Kang with tea leaves, but it's not good to keep some of what they paid tribute to you.
Biluochun is a specialty of Gusu City, not Jinling City. You Zhen family members can drink this top-grade tribute Biluochun whenever they come to this villa in Gusu, so they must have kept it secretly.
Even if they want to keep some of it, they can't show it off so high-profile. The key is that what they keep is better than the tribute to Master Kang, which is too much.
You know, every year Master Kang will issue an order to reward a bunch of good things to his close confidants, including the Jinling Zhen family.
This includes tea leaves, silk and other items used in the tribute.
Unfortunately, many of these items were handled by the Zhen family. After a while, they got used to it - the emperor would always give gifts anyway, so why wait for him to say so and then ship them back from the capital? Wouldn't it be better to just deduct some of the tribute and keep it? This
is the case with tea leaves, silk even more so, and other precious items, as long as they are presented from the Jiangnan region, they must also have a set.
Originally, doing this was considered "offending the superiors", but Master Kang did not express any opinions on this - I don't know if he didn't notice it, or if he noticed it but didn't care because of the good relationship between everyone.
In short, Master Kang did not say anything, and the Zhen family became more and more daring, and it even developed to the point that anything that wanted to be sent to the capital had to pass their test first. In other words, they would select the best from this batch of tribute products, keep the best for themselves, and send the rest to the capital.
Anyway, Zhen Yingjia, the president of Jinling Tiren Academy, can basically walk around in Jinling Province after more than ten years in office, so he must be able to cover the sky with one hand...
Does Master Kang know about this?
Of course he couldn't be unaware of it.
Could it be that everyone is a dead end for that Dongchang... Oh, no, it should be the Sticking Rod Department? You will definitely know if you just check it out. It depends on whether he wants to check it out or not.
But these are not the issues that Mo Yu cares about.
He just wanted to know if there were any people from the Sticking Rod Office in this room... To be honest, although he had seen them in movies and TV dramas before, he had never seen them alive.
Emma, it was really exciting to think about it.
[So, the big brother or big sister from the Sticking Rod Office? Are you here? Aren't you coming to complete a KPI? Someone here is deceiving the emperor, don't you write a memorial to the capital to open the eyes of the emperor?]
It didn't matter that Mo Yu had such irresponsible thoughts. The Zhen family members who heard every word almost fainted on the spot.
Especially Zhen Yingjia and Mrs. Zhen, they were so scared that their hair stood on end and they almost fell to their knees.
The reason is simple. It is just that the tea leaves are indeed the best ones selected from the tributes this year, as Mo Yu said.
It can be said that they have been operating in Jinling City for several generations. They have a complex relationship in the local area and a huge influence. They have already formed a tacit understanding with the most powerful families - what tribute? Isn't it just to satisfy the brothers first and then leave some for the emperor? Anyway,
the emperor has seen all kinds of good things. Besides, it is such a long way from Jiangnan to the capital. No matter how good the things are, they will be wasted. It is better to let them enjoy them.
Otherwise, it will be a waste of good things.
Everyone does this anyway, and it's a tacit understanding.
Zhen Yingjia and Madam Zhen were used to this, so they brought out the super tribute-level Biluochun without any precautions.
As for whether it was because their minds were blanked by the repeated bombardment of Mo Yu's inner voice before, so they accidentally made another stupid move, it's really hard to say.
The only thing that is certain is that Mo Yu's "saying" was right this time.
It was already terrifying to be predicted by this mysterious voice that suddenly appeared, but what was unexpected was what he mentioned? The sticky place!
Oh my God!
How could I forget about this.
The long live master is not really ignorant of everything.
Everyone knows that "the emperor is far away from the heaven", but there is also "the whole world belongs to the emperor".
The legendary stick-sticking office is said to be omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient.
Who knows if one or more people from the stick-sticking office are waiting in this palace - after all, this is the palace where the emperor always comes to stay, and he likes Suzhou, so he has to stay for a few days every time?
Moreover, he just drove from the capital to Jiangnan, and he sent someone to deliver an oral order the other day... Ah, what should I do! The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is very likely. Oh
my God, I'm screwed this time.
Will I make the emperor angry?
Zhen Yingjia and Madam Zhen looked at each other, and saw extreme fear and anxiety in each other's eyes. They didn't want to deal with Jia Min and the others anymore, so they hurriedly found an excuse and agreed to meet again next time before sending them away.
Jia Min also tactfully said goodbye - to be honest, although she had learned a lot from Mo Yu in just less than half a day, and it was indeed quite eye-opening, she was really afraid that her precious son Moyu would be "punished" by God for revealing too many "secrets".
Apart from anything else, what if the Zhen family members were desperate and detained them, or even worse, they did something bad to their Moyu?
After all, he knew too much.
And it was too real, how could he think about everything in his mind...
Jia Min silently covered her face, thinking about how to discuss with their father how to make his son shut up, oh, the brain, while holding Mo Yu and quickly leaving the Zhen family's villa, not caring about the chaos in the villa.
Mo Yu didn't feel too sorry about this - anyway, he had already eaten the melon, and the rest depended on the luck of the Zhen family.
The original book only said that the Zhen family was confiscated several years earlier than the fall of the Jia family, and no one knew what went wrong.
Maybe it was just these little things.
The royal family is ruthless, and the emperor with a high reputation like Master Kang is even more familiar with the imperial power. When things are going well, I wish I could wear the same pants as you, but when things go wrong, I even say that my own son whom I raised is useless...
So, I wish you good luck.
Speaking of which, why do I feel a little sleepy again? Hey, my brother is only three years old and has an extremely fragile body. I have to go back and lie down quickly...
Mo Yu yawned and happened to see a black shadow "flying" over the wall of the Zhen family's villa... Emma, there can't be anyone from the Sticky Rod Department, right?
Then the luck of the Zhen family is really... too good.
Mo Yu sighed, changed to a more comfortable position in Jia Min's arms, and began to fall asleep. Because he was a little tired after eating melons for a long time today, he fell asleep soon. He
had no idea that the Zhen family was completely in turmoil because of his visit - in the physical sense.
They went through so much trouble, of course, for the "sticking pole place" mentioned by Mo Yu, but since it was a famous sticking pole place, how could it be found so easily? It was useless except to make himself more frightened.
A few days later, someone in the capital reported what happened in the Gusu Palace to Emperor Kangxi.
After hearing the secret report, the old man frowned slightly: "This Zhen Yingjia is really brave. This time, I asked the fourth and thirteenth sons to check whether this is true. And what about Lin Ruhai? How did he do this job on behalf of the emperor? Why has no one ever reported this to me?"
The subordinates quickly agreed to go and make arrangements, and did not mention the communication.
It was only said that Mo Yu lay at home for a few days, and after feeling that he had recovered his vitality, he couldn't stay idle again - because he had already known that Master Kang's southern tour was destined to fail halfway, so he didn't care about their family's cooperation with the Zhen family to prepare for the takeover.
Jia Min believed it without a doubt. Although she was a little skeptical at first, she believed it 80% to 90% when she heard from Dezhou on October 4 that the crown prince had caught a cold and was stranded in the palace.
A few days later, news came from Dezhou that the crown prince's cold was getting worse. His Majesty was very worried. After more than ten days of hesitation, he finally decided to return to Beijing and continue his southern tour tomorrow. Then he believed it completely.
Her son really had a "heavenly eye" and could see through the secrets. It was a blessing for the Lin family.
However, how to master this ability would have to wait for Lin Ruhai to come back and discuss it in detail - she was really afraid of her son's talent of revealing things from time to time...
Unfortunately, no matter whether Jia Min was happy or worried about this, she could do nothing about Mo Yu's "special ability" - she couldn't even say anything, so how could she interfere? It
was really a headache.
Fortunately, her son's health gradually improved, which was also a good thing.
Jia Min looked at Mo Yu with half worry and half joy, just hoping that Lin Ruhai would come home as soon as possible. Fortunately, a month later, Lin Ruhai finally came back.
As soon as he came back, he went straight to Mo Yu's room, and asked Jia Min as he walked: "How is Mo Ge'er? Is he okay? I need his help with something important."
[Author's words]
A little more details have been refined. By the way, I'll add the timeline: Dai is now probably in the late September or October of the lunar calendar in the 41st year of Kangxi (1702), which is when Master Kang set out for the first time on his fourth southern tour and the second son fell ill in Dezhou and didn't go to Jiangnan...
Suddenly I remembered that the last book, The Strongest Dandy, also started at a time point around this. Emma, the world line has ended. This is [ ], everyone can just take a look at it casually, the scumbag fish can't stand up to verification (whispering), cover your face and run away.
