Although Yinreng's mind was in a mess, in order not to reveal any flaws, he could only try to empty his mind and follow Kangxi mechanically.
The dispatch of the Imperial Guards quickly attracted attention from all parts of the Forbidden City. Everyone was paying attention to Kangxi's movements. When they learned that the Imperial Guards were heading out of the palace, they were relieved but also confused.
What happened that was so serious that the imperial guards had to be mobilized?
After arriving at the place, Kangxi directly ordered the imperial guards to surround the entire courtyard.
Shortly after Fucha Misihan passed away, the Fucha family split up.
This mansion is an official residence with five courtyards and a garden. In fact, according to Maska's official position and title, he is not qualified to live here anymore.
However, Kangxi was grateful for Mi Sihan's contribution to the court and did not take the mansion back.
As the eldest son of Misihan, Maska received a considerable share of the family property. However, since his younger brothers Maqi were more favored by Kangxi and had occupied a seat in the court before Misihan passed away, Maska did not dare to be too harsh on his brothers in the matter of dividing the family property.
Fortunately, Mi Sihan left behind a lot of property. After dividing up a lot of the family property, the remaining property was still enough to support him in maintaining the operation of this mansion.
The servant guarding the door saw the fully armed imperial guards and wanted to go up and scold them, but after seeing the bright yellow sedan chair following behind, his legs and feet immediately weakened.
The sedan chair stopped at the door of the mansion, and Kangxi rushed in with his men.
It was morning at this time, and all the adult male masters in the family had gone to work. After receiving the news, the housekeeper in the front yard ran to the front yard with sweat all over his face.
"Your servant pays homage to the Emperor..."
"Shut up!"
But Kangxi didn't bother to look at him and directly ordered the imperial guards,
"Find me the location of the study and storeroom."
"yes!"
After the imperial guards agreed, they took quick action.
Kangxi, on the other hand, sat down under the veranda outside the central hall with great fanfare, as if he were strolling in his own back garden.
Yinreng stood beside Kangxi, looking at the servants kneeling on the ground in the yard, and his heart remained calm.
Only the occasional screams and curses coming from the backyard proved that the purpose of their trip was not to visit the back garden.
Yinreng had no good feelings towards all the officials working in the Imperial Household Department, and the same was true for their families.
Since you have enjoyed the benefits of Musk's corruption, you must be mentally prepared to bear the consequences.
In just a quarter of an hour, the imperial guards had searched Maska's house thoroughly. Liang Jiugong came up to remind Kangxi,
"Your Majesty, the locations of the warehouse and study have been determined."
Kangxi stood up and said casually,
"Let's go to the study first!"
The young general led the way, passed through the corridor, turned two corners, and arrived at the main house. He went straight to the west side room. Maska's wife, concubine, and underage children were all driven to the east side room.
Yinreng followed Kangxi over the threshold and entered Maska's study.
The first thing Yinreng saw when he entered the room was the white tiger skin covering the armchair.
Kangxi just glanced at it casually and began to check the ornaments on the antique shelf.
Yinreng walked forward, picked up the white tiger skin and gestured at it. He found that the quality of the white tiger skin was extremely high. It must have been shot in the eye by a gun or an arrow, but it did not penetrate. This tiger skin alone was worth a thousand gold.
But its value was not enough to make Yinreng pay so much attention to it. The main reason why Yinreng paid attention to it was that as early as when Kangxi just came to power, he stipulated the use rights of various animal furs.
For those who are not members of the royal family, using white tiger skin is considered a violation of the rules, but there is a complete white tiger skin placed openly in Maska's study.
Yinreng chuckled, put down the white tiger skin, and turned to look at the utensils on the desk.
"Oh, the ivory wolf-hair brush, oh, the imperial ink with dragon and phoenix patterns, oh, the imperial Songhua stone inkstone, oh, the cowpea red pen holder, what a torture!"
Each of the Four Treasures of the Study was specially provided to the royal family. He said that the position of the Chief Eunuch of the Imperial Household Department was much more comfortable than that of the Crown Prince.
Yinreng casually threw the pen holder in his hand and glanced at the back of Kangxi's head inconspicuously.
He has completely calmed down now.
He had guessed many possibilities before, but he ignored the one that Kangxi could hear his thoughts.
After all, the biggest golden finger in his previous life was the memory of more than 30 years in later life, and he never considered that the golden finger would appear on Kangxi.
But it’s not too late to find out now.
Didn’t Kangxi like to hear his true thoughts?
He let him listen enough!
For the next half hour, Yinreng ran around in this small study. Every time he saw an item that exceeded the regulations, he would exclaim "Oh" in his heart, and Kangxi's head felt swollen from the exclamations.
I soon lost interest in staying here any longer.
Kangxi stepped out of the door and said to the young general who was leading the way,
"Take me to the warehouse!"
The door of the warehouse was violently demolished by the imperial guards. Kangxi walked in first, followed closely by Yinreng.
I thought I had learned a lot in Maska's study, but I didn't expect there would be even bigger surprises in this warehouse.
Looking at the huge warehouse with neatly arranged rows of shelves, not to mention Kangxi, even Yinreng fell silent.
The reason was simple: all the shelves in the warehouse were covered with glass on all four sides. At first glance, Yinreng thought he had arrived at the British Museum in later generations.
"Fuck, he has to be the head of the Imperial Household Department! How many people still don't have glass in their windows, and his frame is covered with glass all over. Such a large piece of glass must be sold for at least three taels outside!"
Yinreng praised repeatedly, and Kangxi's face darkened completely with his praise.
In terms of decoration, his private warehouse cannot compare to the Maska family's warehouse.
Kangxi stopped at the door of the warehouse, his eyes swept over the stacked shelves, and he was so angry that he couldn't utter a word.
At first, he thought that what Yinreng said was an exaggeration, and even before entering Maska's study, he scoffed at Yinreng's words.
However, the facts gave him such a loud slap in the face.
"What a great steward of the Imperial Household Department, what a great Fucha Maska!"
Kangxi gritted his teeth and muttered word by word.
Yinreng seemed not to notice his gloomy expression, and mentally he was frantically outputting—
"Wow, such a big mutton-fat jade Guanyin!"
'Wow, this coral looks so beautiful!'
"Oh, this ruby cloisonné enamel bracelet must be worth a fortune!"
"Everything the emperor has, I have everything. My house is even more complete than the palace. Tsk tsk tsk, the life of the head of the Imperial Household Department is much more comfortable than that of the crown prince!"
