"Xiaojiu, you really want to follow Sixth Brother to help the Ministry of Revenue, right? Don't worry, if you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, you can speak directly. Sixth Brother is not an unreasonable person. Don't worry, your Sixth Brother is the most fair and just in doing things. He never does anything that forces others to do anything. Everything is based on the principle of voluntariness..."
Yinzhen, who had woken up at some point and was trying to freeze him with a cold face, was the one who dared not respond to Yinzuo's high-sounding nonsense. However, he was a man of his heart. He looked at Yinzuo, who was gazing at him threateningly, and then at Kangxi, who was watching him with a fierce look, and Yinzhen, who had woken up at some point and was trying to freeze him with a cold face. Should Yinzhen say anything? The answer was that he didn't dare to think.
"Look at what you're asking, Sixth Brother. Of course I volunteered to follow you to the Ministry of Revenue to help. Sixth Brother, didn't you say before that the national treasury is the foundation of our Great Qing? If we can't purge these rats in the court this time, it will definitely shake the foundation of our Great Qing. I'm not very capable, but I'm willing to follow you and learn from you. I don't seek to serve the country or the people, I just want to have a clear conscience..."
Good man, look at his impassioned speech. If you don't know, you would think he is going to the front line to kill the enemy. He doesn't even seek to serve the country and the people, but only to have a clear conscience. Xiaojiu, based on what you said, can we still have a clear conscience?
The next day after the decision was made, Yinzuo brought his little follower Yin'er to the Ministry of Revenue to work. Yin'er looked at the mountain of account books on the desk in front of him, and then at the various exquisite breakfasts placed on the desk next to him that belonged to his sixth brother. He suddenly felt unbalanced.
"Sixth brother, would you mind turning your precious head to look at your poor brother? We both come to work hungry. Why do you have breakfast while I don't? Why do I have so many accounts to deal with while you have so much free time, like you're on a spring outing? I don't care. I'm hungry too, and I need to eat too."
Yinzuo was sitting there daydreaming, and was so frightened by Yin'er's roar that he trembled all over and almost fell to the ground. After he finally steady himself, the first thing he did was to settle the score with Yin'er, the culprit. Yin'er had no idea how many beatings he had received from his sixth brother since he was a child, and he knew every look, expression, and movement of Yinzuo when he was angry. When he saw Yinzuo stand up, Yin'er had only one thought in his mind - it's over, my life is over.
Yinzuo had no idea how many times he had punished Yin'er over the years. He was very adept at beating his younger brother. He could almost accurately predict every move of Yin'er, and the ruler in his hand never missed the target. After a short while, he beat Yin'er so hard that he begged for mercy.
"Gentle, gentle, Sixth Brother, please show some mercy and spare me this time. I really didn't mean it. I was just upset. I didn't know what I was doing, so I did something stupid. I apologize to you. But I'm really hungry. Can't you share some of what's in front of you?"
Upon hearing this, Yinzuo glanced at the food on the table in front of him, then picked out a few of Yin'er's favorites and pushed them towards him. Then he picked and chose from the pile of things and found two that he wanted to eat. The rest he asked Akshan to share with the guards, so that it would not be a waste of his fourth brother's kindness.
"If you can't get the food yourself, how can I stop you? I woke up too fast this morning, and my temples have been aching slightly. After you yelled at me, the pain is even worse now. So, you check the account book first. I'll go to the back and rest for a while. I'll come help you when you wake up."
Judging from how agile Yinzuo was when he escaped, how could you tell that he was having a headache? Yin'er knew what his sixth brother was like. He didn't believe a single punctuation mark in what he just said, that he would wait for him to come back to help. This was just a lie. If he believed it, he would be a fool.
Yinzuo slept from morning till mid-afternoon, got up, washed and tidied himself, then whistled an unknown tune as he headed towards Yin'er's workplace. There's a saying that no matter who it is, they'll be in a bad mood as soon as they get to work, and Yin'er is in this situation now. He has basically not moved since he sat here and opened the account book in the morning. He had a quick lunch and was busy until now, with several account books still left on the table. If he wants to finish sorting them all today, he'll have to work late into the night.
"Hmph, Sixth Brother, you really know how to enjoy yourself. You slept so well. Alas, I'm not like that. I was born to be a hard worker. See this pile of account books? They all need to be processed and completed today. I've been sitting here busy since you went to bed. I haven't even had a hot meal yet. And you slept so well until now. Why don't you sleep a little longer? In another hour or so, I'll be off duty."
Even though Yin'er's words sounded sarcastic, Yinzuo did not refute a single word. After all, what he did today was really not kind. He had clearly said that he would come to help after a short sleep, but he had slept until now. Yinzuo walked up to Yin'er, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, then pulled him up from the chair with a little force!
"Alas, Xiaojiu, how come you've become just like Third Brother? Why are you saying so much? Today's incident is indeed Sixth Brother's fault. I was only planning to sleep for a while before coming to help you, but who could have imagined I'd sleep this long? So, get up and walk outside to stretch your body. Leave these remaining account books to me. I promise to finish them before dark. Don't worry, I won't delay anything."
When it comes to other aspects, Yinzhen really doesn't dare to say that he can definitely beat his sixth brother, but when it comes to counting the beads on the abacus, Yinzhen feels that at least among the brothers, if he says he is second, no one dares to claim to be first. It's not that he thinks his sixth brother is bragging, but it's mainly because he has to sit here for a whole day to process so many account books, and wanting to finish the rest before dark is simply an impossible task.
Yinzuo didn't know what Yin'er was thinking at the moment, otherwise the slight feeling of guilt in his heart would have disappeared at this moment. After pulling Yin'er up from his seat, Yinzuo sat down and raised his hand to call Akshan over.
"Hatu, go get that little black bag from the carriage for me. Akshan, please move a chair and sit across from me. Here, this is the new account book. After Hatu gets the things, I'll be in charge of the accounting and you'll be in charge of the records. Don't worry, as long as we work together properly, we'll be home before dark."
