Yinzhen took the list and glanced at it. He basically didn't recognize anyone on it.
It can be seen that they are all unknown small characters.
He didn't have a good impression of Longkodo, but he was curious about what the boss had done to attract a rat to follow him.
Yinzhen praised the shopkeeper, sent him away, and went to find his confidant with the list.
"A month ago, these people had a drink with Longkodo. Tomorrow, I want to know what they talked about while drinking."
Guo Luoluo Enchuo took the list without even looking at it, and agreed to it solemnly.
It was just past noon, and there was still more than a day left, enough for him to organize an investigation.
In the afternoon, three dandy young masters who came from prominent families but were not highly regarded by their families all received invitations.
Enchuo followed Yin'er and accumulated a lot of connections through the convenience of doing business. It was a piece of cake for him to invite a few playboys out.
That night, a few dandy young masters who were drunk were coaxed by the charming woman in their arms. They basically answered whatever was asked and had no guard at all.
After the few of them fell asleep, the women in their arms got up quietly and came to where Enchuo was resting.
Enchuo questioned the three people separately.
After hearing the information extracted by the first woman, Enzhuo couldn't help but change his expression.
This news is really too shocking.
He had heard a little about the big case a few years ago. He only heard that the third prince disappeared after being hunted down, and a small number of high-ranking officials in Jiangnan were implicated. He did not expect that there was such a secret in it.
A little cold sweat appeared on Enchuo's forehead.
Looking at his subordinates with anxious faces, Enchuo gritted his teeth and arranged them in the empty room next door.
After asking these three people, Enchuo's heart was completely chilled.
He originally thought it was just a very small matter, but he didn't expect it to touch upon the royal secrets.
The master really thinks highly of him...
No, he would have to find another reason tomorrow to make his act of inviting those three idiots seem more reasonable. Otherwise, if someone else finds out that these three idiots are responsible, he would have no choice but to wash his neck and wait for death.
Also, the three subordinates in the next room who were trying their best to get information for him had to be properly dealt with so that no one else could see any flaws.
Despite being extremely scared, Enchuo went to find Yinzhen early the next morning with her prepared confession.
Yinzhen didn't care too much about this matter. He finished the things at hand first before coming to the shop in the outer city.
But as soon as he entered the room, he saw Enchuo with red eyes and haggard face.
Yinzhen was startled.
"Why do you look like this?!"
Enchuo was filled with resentment, and looked at Yin'er with a bitter face.
"Master, you have caused me so much trouble!"
Yinzhen: “?”
Enchuo cautiously ran to the door and observed around, then closed the door and returned to Yinzhen and handed him the confession she had prepared.
Yinzhen originally thought that Enchuo was making a big deal out of nothing, but when his eyes came into contact with the confession, his expression immediately became solemn.
After quickly reading the three confessions with a serious face, Yinzhen didn't know what he was feeling.
He didn't have much interaction with Yinzhi, as Yinzhi was nearly seven years older than him, and he couldn't catch up with Yinzhi's academic performance and riding and archery skills.
If one had to say what impression he had of Yinzhi, it was the constant praise the Emperor gave his third brother every time he was tested before he left the Shangshufang.
He also envied his third brother's achievements in Chinese studies, which were recognized by the emperor and all the teachers.
Yinzhen squeezed the thin pieces of paper into different shapes.
It is normal that the tenth brother is not favored by him and is treated harshly by him, but what about the third brother?
Before his third brother got into trouble, he was the most popular prince except for his second brother, no doubt about it.
But what about now?
At the gate of the Third Prince's Mansion, the horse-tying post is probably rarely used throughout the year.
How sad!
Yinzhen felt that he was becoming less and less familiar with his almighty father, the emperor.
Everything that happened in the past two years has irritated his not-so-sensitive nerves.
Yinzhen admitted that he was a cold-blooded and cruel person, but he could not do such a thing as pushing his own son out as bait. Even a tiger would not eat its own cubs, but his own father did it!
But it really is...
That’s great!
He was short of words and could not think of a more appropriate adjective than "worse than beasts".
But the word "beast" included him as well, and he was not happy about it.
"Master, do you want to wrap this up?"
While Yinzhen was lost in thought, Enchuo became anxious.
Hearing this, Yinzhen came back to his senses and instantly remembered the rat who had inquired about the news yesterday.
"I want it!"
He gave the order almost subconsciously, then carefully recalled what had happened in Kyoto recently, and easily connected his third brother's coma with the rat.
There are some things where knowing about them is a sin, and unfortunately, this is one of them.
No matter who is behind those two mice, as long as they find out that he is one of the insiders, he may be in danger.
Yinzhen knew very well that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, so he warned Enchuo to finish carefully and not reveal any flaws.
After receiving the order, Enchuo immediately left the shop.
Yinzhen lit the confessions and threw them into the pen washer. The flickering flames illuminated his face, which was filled with mixed emotions.
He actually thought about instigating Bage to build up a force in the court.
Not for the purpose of seizing the throne, but for self-protection.
But this thought only passed through his mind once and then he put it behind him.
After all, given his second brother's personality, Yinzhen didn't believe that he would treat his brothers harshly when he ascended the throne in the future.
But now, Yinzhen’s desire to form a team is unprecedentedly strong.
But now the target he has to guard against has changed from his second brother to the emperor.
…
On the third day after Yinzhen learned the truth, Kangxi also received a secret report handed over by the secret guard.
As he expected, the source of the "rumor" was Longkodo.
One can imagine the anger in Kangxi's heart.
As for why Yinzhi had a private conversation with Yinreng, Kangxi had no time to explore it.
Now he just wants to deal with Longkodo first!
So within two days, the story of Longkodo stealing his father-in-law Guo Qixun's concubine spread throughout the capital.
At the instruction of Emperor Kangxi, the memorials from the Censors of the Inspectorate impeaching Longkodo and Tong Guowei floated into the Palace of Heavenly Purity like snowflakes.
Longkodo offended so many people, and his crimes were not limited to stealing his father-in-law's concubine.
Longkodo relied on the power of the Tong family to solicit bribes, abuse his power, and wantonly suppress his subordinates. These crimes, which were insignificant in normal times, now seem to be unforgivable and too numerous to list.
Longkodo was a little stunned by this sudden change.
Not only him, Tong Guowei was also a little confused.
