After returning home, Malhun immediately rushed into the study. After opening the secret compartment, he found that 50,000 taels of silver were missing from his small treasury. Malhun was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
This rebellious son!
What a rebellious son!
Hua Qi was soon "invited" back by his own servants.
But Hua Qi was not afraid at all.
After all, the car he bought was worth that price.
Malhun was holding a stick, and when he saw Hua Qi, he wanted to hit Hua Qi's legs directly, but Hua Qi stopped Malhun with just one sentence -
"Father, are you dissatisfied with the emperor?"
Marhun's face darkened a few shades.
"What are you talking about? How could this prince be dissatisfied with the emperor?!"
Hua Qi rolled his eyes.
"You came to hit me with a stick today because you thought your son's bicycle wasn't worth 35,000 taels, didn't you?"
“Is it worth it?”
"Why not? You have to know that the first bicycle is in the hands of the emperor. How can the second one not be worth 35,000 taels? Even if it is 100,000 taels, it is worth it. My son still thinks that 35,000 taels is too little..."
He spent 35,000 taels of silver and bought a car that was even better looking than the one the emperor had. He felt he had made a killing.
When Malhun heard this, it seemed to make sense, but he was unwilling to let Hua Qi go so easily.
Marhun's eyes turned, and he instantly thought of another thing, and directly ordered his servants,
"Come on, hold this little bastard down for me!"
Hua Qi saw that Marhun's expression had eased up, and thought he had escaped a disaster. However, Marhun still asked people to hold him down, and he immediately became anxious.
"Father! Are you dissatisfied with the Emperor?"
"You evil creature, how dare you talk nonsense! Quick, hold him down!"
Hua Qi was unlearned, but he slipped through the hands of seven or eight servants without mercy, and was about to rush out of the main hall. How could Malhun not see that the servants were deliberately letting Hua Qi go easy on him? He said in a deep voice,
"You are a bunch of useless people. You can't catch even one person with so many people. Looks like I have to go to the clan office to select someone again!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately lost their composure.
The servants in the palace are all assigned their own positions. If the prince goes to the clan house to select people, doesn't that mean they will be kicked out?
Seeing the servants around him change their expressions, Hua Qi thought to himself that things were going to get bad, so he struggled even harder to escape.
However, it was not so easy to break through the siege of seven or eight people. In just a few breaths, Hua Qi was pressed on the bench.
"Father! Father! Please forgive me, I am your own son!"
Hua Qi tried to awaken his father's love.
Malhun held up his stick and turned a deaf ear to it——
“Bang!”
"Ouch! It hurts, Ama!"
"I'll let you steal my silver!"
“Bang!”
"Ah! Mother! Help!"
"And one theft is fifty thousand taels!"
“Bang!”
"Why don't you go to heaven!"
“Bang!”
"I'll beat you to death, you troublemaker!"
Malhun beat Hua Qi with more than twenty sticks and felt relaxed all over.
Hua Qi was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream.
"Go call the court doctor!"
Family members know their own business.
He had beaten Hua Qi many times over the years, but he always held back his strength. This time was no exception. The kid looked miserable on the surface, but in fact, after being hit by more than 20 sticks, he only needed to lie in bed for five or six days before he could get out of bed and walk.
The news that Hua Qi was beaten for stealing his father's silver spread throughout the capital city like wings.
This finally made the little guys who were still envious of Hua Qi for getting the second bicycle feel a little more balanced.
When Kangxi heard that Yinzhen sold the bicycle for 35,000 taels, he was a little surprised.
But he soon put it out of his mind.
There were countless rare treasures in his private treasury, and the bicycle was a novelty, but after he learned how to ride it, except for occasionally riding it around the palace on a whim, he left it there to gather dust the rest of the time.
At the end of December, the car that Yinzhen promised to give to Hongsheng was also built.
But he was unwilling to send the bicycle to Prince Cheng's mansion openly, for fear that people in the capital would find out that bicycles were so easy to make and would no longer be so popular in the future.
So he found Yinzhi, asked Yinzhi to pick up the car himself, and told him to keep it secret.
Yinzhi also understood what Yin'er meant, so after pulling the bicycle back to the mansion, he issued a gag order.
Hongsheng was also a sensible child. He knew that his uncle's previous bicycle was sold for a lot of money, but he didn't get a penny from it, so he didn't spread the news that he had won a bicycle.
This Spring Festival, most families in Beijing did not have a peaceful time.
Seeing that the emperor was getting older and older and the Eastern Palace had no children, the emperor had no intention of choosing one of his grandchildren to adopt as the crown prince.
The emperor appears to favor the crown prince, but he can watch the Eastern Palace become extinct. So how much of this favoritism is real and how much is fake is worth pondering.
All the civil and military officials in the court were worried.
So during the period before the New Year, almost everyone gathered around the prince.
Tong Guowei didn't join in.
But none of his children and grandchildren were worry-free.
The one who jumped the most happily was Shun Anyan.
He was determined to find a master to follow, but after searching among the princes, he discovered that only the Tenth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince had never had any conflicts with the Tong family.
But the Tenth Prince is still serving as a lieutenant general in the military camp outside Beijing. It seems that the emperor has forgotten him over the years. How can Shun Anyan be willing to follow such a person?
As for the Thirteenth Prince, he is now following behind the Crown Prince. Who knows if he will surrender and be sold out the next moment.
Shun Anyan considered for a long time and finally decided to follow Prince Zhi.
Apart from the Crown Prince, the Prince of Zhi has the highest status and position. Moreover, the Prince of Zhi has been in the army for many years and has achieved such great military merits this year. According to his speculation, within two years, the Prince of Zhi will probably be conferred the title of Prince.
The other princes are not at the same level as the Prince of Zhi.
Although Third Uncle Longkodo had clashed with the Prince of Zhi in the early years, that had been many years, and besides...
My third uncle has been dead for several years. As a general, Prince Zhi shouldn't be so petty as to hold grudges against a dead person.
After Shun Anyan considered all aspects carefully, he came to the door with gifts.
At that time, Yinzhi was practicing boxing with Ni Chuhe and others in the training ground.
He has been away from home for the past few years and his relationship with his children has become somewhat distant.
So during this period, he has been staying at home with his children.
Unfortunately, during this period of time, there were always some inconsiderate people coming to disturb his home, which made him almost annoyed.
In fact, these people all handed in visiting cards before coming to his house. At first, Yinzhi would find a reason to refuse them, but later there were too many people, and if he refused them all, it would seem that he was a little unkind.
He himself doesn't care.
But his wife and children will still have to live in Beijing in the future, so he can't do anything too excessive.
So later we all went out to meet those people and listen to how they farted.
