As soon as the three words "Ministry of Punishment" came out, everyone present changed their expressions in fear, and then their eyes focused on He Zhuer.
Yinreng's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He Zhuer!
It was actually him...
It is unknown how many times this He Zhuer has been replaced, and he is not the same person as the one that Yinreng owed debts to in the beginning.
However, because Kangxi felt that he owed Yinreng, he gradually relaxed his surveillance of Yinreng, and He Zhuer had not been replaced for nearly a year.
Yinreng didn't take it to heart at first. After all, he was used to the people around him changing frequently, and thought that the old man just forgot this time.
In just one short year, this bastard has started to have thoughts that he shouldn't have.
The tent fell into silence, and the atmosphere became strange and depressing.
After a long while, Yinreng sneered,
"So... the person in charge of Yuqing Palace, could it be that his surname is He?!"
He Zhuer was so frightened when he heard this that he trembled like a sieve.
"Master, I'm not a servant, not a servant! It was all Madam Yehele who ordered this. Master, it was Madam Yehele who said that there should be a young master in the East Palace..."
Yinreng sneered,
"So you sold me out openly?"
"No... Master! No... I didn't sell it, really! Master..."
He Zhuer was speechless and his face turned red with embarrassment. He could only kowtow on the ground.
Yinreng was unmoved. He picked up the cup and threw it at the guard closest to him.
"Go, call Wei Zhu!"
When He Zhuer heard this, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
"Mercy! Master... please spare my life!"
He banged his head against the ground again and again, tears streaming down his face. Even though the ground wasn't too hard after being shoveled, blood soon seeped out of his forehead.
But he didn't dare stop, for fear that if he stopped, he would lose his life.
Everyone watched He Zhuer's plea for mercy coldly. Yuan'er, who had already climbed up from the bed and knelt on the ground, lowered her head and tried to reduce her presence.
At this time, no one dared to offend Yinreng.
Yinreng didn't react at all, he just walked aside and put on his clothes.
Half an incense stick of time later, Wei Zhu stood outside the tent, panting, and the guard who brought him here went into the camp to report.
"Manager Wei, please come in."
Wei Zhu took a few deep breaths, and after steadying his breathing, he walked into the tent.
As soon as he entered the room, Wei Zhu glanced at the servants and guards kneeling on the ground, as well as the disheveled woman kneeling in front of the bed, and he had a plan in mind.
Yinreng dispensed with Weizhu's empty formalities and went straight to the point.
"Just now, when I was getting ready for bed, this woman inexplicably appeared on my bed. I suspect she's an assassin, and they're all her accomplices!"
Yinreng's words not only frightened Wei Zhu, but also made all the servants and guards kneeling in the tent panic.
"Your Highness! Please understand clearly, Your Highness! All of this was led by Eunuch He and has nothing to do with me!"
"Your Highness, Eunuch He holds your seal. He is responsible for all matters in the camp..."
"Master, I'm not an assassin, I'm Madam Yehele! It was Madam Yehele who arranged for me to enter Yuqing Palace!"
…
He Zhuer was still holding on to his breath, but when he heard that Yinreng had identified Yuaner as an assassin, he no longer had the strength to struggle.
He collapsed to the ground, the blood on his forehead flowing all over his face, looking hideous and terrifying. Except for the people close to him who shrank back slightly after observing his condition, no one else cared whether he lived or died.
"Eunuch Wei, please say something for me..."
There were several guards from decent backgrounds who, seeing that Yinreng was not moved at all, began to set their sights on Wei Zhu.
Wei Zhu felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.
Just by looking at his expression, he knew that today's incident had most likely touched the prince's lungs.
But he didn't dare to follow the prince's wishes and take this group of people out for punishment.
The area of the tent was not small, and there were more than twenty servants and guards kneeling sparsely. Even if we only talk about the guards, those who could guard in front of the prince were not simple people. How could he dare to deal with so many people at once?
Isn't this like putting him on the fire?
Wei Zhu's face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd, and she didn't give Yinreng a definite answer.
"What? Steward Wei can't make the decision?"
Wei Zhu was stunned for a moment, then fell to his knees.
"Your Highness, please allow me to report this. The eunuchs and palace maids are easy to deal with, but this guard..."
Yinreng glanced at Wei Zhu with a half-smile and asked him,
"Eunuch Wei, do you mean you can't punish the guards?"
The first thing he said was that this group of people were suspected of assassinating the prince. If Wei Zhu was a little stupid, he would have risked offending the family behind the guards and arrested them first.
It’s a pity that this person is too smart.
He was so smart that he looked three steps ahead before taking one step. Even when facing the second-ranked prince of the Qing Dynasty, he dared to pretend to obey but secretly disobey.
Wei Zhu shuddered, her eyes rolled twice, and she finally gritted her teeth and said,
"Master, it's not that I'm not doing my best, it's that I really don't have the qualifications."
"laugh!"
Yinreng sneered, lazily stood up from his chair, and looked down at Wei Zhu.
"Since Eunuch Wei is not qualified, I will go and ask the Emperor."
Wei Zhu was shocked when he heard this, but then he calmed down.
According to the rules, he did not have the right to deal with the first-class guards. Even if the prince went to complain, the emperor could not blame him.
Yinreng walked out of the tent and looked back. He saw that Wei Zhu was looking at him curiously even though she was kneeling. He shook his head helplessly.
With just this thing, how did he get to Liang Jiugong's position in his previous life?
Yinreng lived only a few dozen meters away from Kangxi's tent. Yinreng walked and arrived there in a few minutes.
Kangxi was just about to sleep with the young and beautiful woman in his arms, but when he heard Yinreng asking for a meeting, he no longer cared about sleeping and immediately got up from the bed.
While getting dressed, Kangxi briefly asked about the situation and then looked displeased.
He was not angry about a woman climbing into his bed, but he was angry that a group of people in Yuqing Palace had joined forces to plot against Yinreng.
After Kangxi put on his clothes, he walked out of the tent. Yinreng wanted to kneel down when he saw him, but Kangxi stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"Let's go, I'll go take a look."
Hearing this, Yinreng was a little surprised.
"Why is this old man so active now? Shouldn't he be sitting in the tent, waiting for Liang Jiugong to come and arrest the person and bring him to him for trial?"
Kangxi ignored him and walked forward quickly. By the time Yinreng reacted, he was already ten meters away.
"Going to your own son's tent so late at night is quite rude..."
Yinreng now has a concubine, who is a princess given by Kangxi for trial marriage.
In name, his purpose was to teach Yinreng about personnel matters.
Even though both father and son knew that he didn't need it, they had no choice but to give it to him.
If other princes had it but Yinreng didn't, then he would become an exception and arouse suspicion for no reason.
