Hong Ruohan...
Yinreng narrowed his eyes.
He was not unfamiliar with this guy. After all, when the old man suffered from dysentery, it was Hong Ruohan who provided him with quinine.
In order to repay Hong Ruohan, his savior, the old man not only promoted him, but also rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
Because of quinine, the old man developed a strong interest in Western medicine, and in the past two years he has often asked about the progress of Western medicine research in the Imperial Hospital.
Even now, Hong Ruohan's status in the Lifanyuan is not low, because he is Kangxi's savior.
Yinreng could understand that Fashishan, a minor official of the fifth rank, did not want to offend Hong Ruohan, but he could not agree with his approach.
Fashishan was born into the Yehenara clan, and his father's generation had some connection with the Suksaha lineage. Even if he confronted Hong Ruohan head-on and the matter ended up in front of Emperor Kangxi, Fashishan remained invincible.
In this matter, the monk was in the right.
It's just that he didn't want to offend the missionaries for the sake of the Han people.
After all, these officials of Manchu descent never considered the Han people as their compatriots from the bottom of their hearts.
"Fashishan, let me ask you, do you still remember your identity?"
Fashishan raised his head slightly, then lowered it again.
"I remember."
"Then tell me, what is your identity?"
"I am the Imperial Inspector of the Qing Dynasty."
"Since you remember that you are an official of the Qing Dynasty, how could you have forgotten who pays taxes to support you?"
Yinreng asked in a cold voice.
Fashishan shuddered and didn't dare to answer.
"You eat the food offered by the people and spend the taxes paid by the people, yet in the end you flatter the stinking feet of barbarians and bully your own people! Where is your pride as a scholar? Where is the pride of the Manchus? Has it been eaten by dogs?"
With every word Yinreng spoke, Fashishan's head lowered a little, and finally his forehead touched the ground and never raised it again.
The room was filled with coldness and solemnity.
After a moment's silence, Yinreng said,
"After this matter is over, you can submit a letter of apology and request a transfer."
As soon as these words came out, Fashishan became excited.
"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"
He thought that he would definitely be dismissed from office today, but he didn't expect that the prince would actually let him go.
On the contrary, Yinzhen frowned and called out in disapproval.
"Second brother..."
Yinreng turned his head and gave him a soothing look, indicating that he could talk later.
Yinzhen's expression was complicated, and he couldn't help feeling confused.
Could it be that this Fashishan has a very strong background? Even my second brother is going to show him some leniency.
"What's the matter with this Frenchman?"
As soon as Yinreng finished speaking, Fashishan, who had unloaded his burden, could not wait to open his mouth to explain his doubts.
"Your Highness, this man is the missionary Jean-Baptiste du Bai Jin. I'm a little embarrassed to tell you what he did."
"He's embarrassed to do it, but you're embarrassed to say it?"
Yinreng was speechless.
"Your Highness, you don't know that what he did... was truly disgraceful!"
Fashishan's awkward expression instantly piqued Yinreng's interest.
"How is it against civility?"
"this……"
"Get up and come over to me and talk."
When these words came out, not to mention the Taoist priest, Yinzhen was a little stunned. Is his second brother investigating a case? Why is he so similar to those palace servants who like to gossip behind people's backs?
He thought so in his heart, but his body leaned towards Yinreng honestly.
Fashishan got up from the ground, walked up to Yinreng, and whispered,
"This French man is extremely lustful. He stayed at the Baihua Pavilion for half a month, with no fewer than five girls serving him every day. Not only did he spend all the gold he had on him, but he also owed the Baihua Pavilion ten thousand taels of silver."
Yinreng: “…”
Yinzhen: “…”
The French are truly romantic to death. Five girls a day. Their kidneys must be made of iron, right?
"He didn't give me the ten thousand taels of silver in the end?"
"without…"
Yinreng's face instantly darkened. Wouldn't the girls in Baihua Pavilion be serving this bastard in vain?
Seeing that he was about to be implicated by the French again, Fashishan quickly added,
"The gold, silver, and jewelry he spent at Baihua Pavilion are worth thirty thousand taels of silver!"
Yinreng's eyes widened immediately.
"Thirty thousand taels?"
"Yes, the missionary Bai Jin wanted to go to Baihua Pavilion to reclaim the property, but was scolded out by the Baihua Pavilion's madam."
Yinreng's face turned from cloudy to bright, and he looked at the French people kneeling on the ground, his eyes glowing green.
Thirty thousand taels were spent in half a month. If there were more big complainers like this, there would be no need to worry about the GDP not being able to increase!
Yinreng wanted to get close to the little electric Teddy in front of him and get more money from him, but he didn't speak French.
I had no choice but to ask the translator to politely send the person out.
As for the Englishman, Yinreng ordered the imperial guards to pick him up and directly asked him for one thousand taels of gold.
The British guy wanted to resist and boasted to Yinreng how great his father was, but Yinreng slapped him twice and he immediately became much more obedient.
Yinreng told him that if he didn't pay compensation, he would have his house raided, and he would only suffer greater losses.
Faced with Yinreng's "barbarity", the British dared not speak out, and finally went back in aggrieved manner to get 1,000 taels of gold and handed it to Yinreng.
