"Sixth...Brother...Brother, I really didn't spread this. I heard it from someone outside..."
It's not that Yin is spineless, it's just that he has suffered too many losses at the hands of his sixth brother. Looking at the expression on his sixth brother's face, you can tell that what he said just now made him very angry. If he doesn't explain quickly, he will think that it was him who spread the rumor, and he will definitely beat him to death.
"Humph, of course I know it wasn't you. Even if you were given ten times the courage, you wouldn't dare to slander me behind my back like this. It must be..."
Although Yinzuo did not say who spread the rumor, he already had a guess in his mind. So after sending Yin'er and Yin? away, he took Dexi directly to Qingxi Book House.
"Hmph, Khan Ama, you're too kind. You gave the money voluntarily. How could you let people go around making up stories about your son? You're trying to commit suicide. That's too harsh. My son isn't a girl. Do you think the word you used is appropriate?"
Kangxi knew that with Yinzuo's intelligence, as long as he heard the rumor outside, it would not be difficult for him to guess who spread the rumor, so this time he did not deny it at all and admitted it directly.
"That's right. I had people spread the rumors about you. So what? I gave you the silver voluntarily, but you also gave me the silver voluntarily before. But you didn't hold back when you and your fourth brother made up stories about me being a bad person."
Well, Yinzuo fell silent immediately after hearing this. Yes, he was in the wrong first, but that was not a reason for you to spread false rumors.
"Even if that's the case, the rumors you spread are not true. Khan Ama, that's not all the money you gave me."
Now it was Kangxi's turn to remain silent. Okay, he admitted that he had exaggerated a bit when he had someone pass on the message before, but it was okay, we can change it.
"Yinzuo is right. How about this? Khan Ama sends someone to pass it on again and say that the previous message was wrong. The silver was not given in full, but only one-fifth."
Yinzuo didn't mind losing face again, what he cared about more was...
"Nah, Khan, after you sent someone to spread bad things about your son, can you return all the money to him?"
Kangxi obviously didn't expect Yinzuo to focus on this. After being speechless for a while, he raised his hand and beckoned him to come in front of him. Looking at his son with golden eyes in front of him, he couldn't help but reach out and hit him on the forehead.
"You're dreaming. The silver is in my hands and you still want it back. I'm lucky to give you 50,000 taels. If you dare to make trouble again, I'll take the 50,000 taels back."
As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Kangxi's words made Yinzuo's subsequent plan abort. Yinzuo always changed his attitude according to the wind. He was afraid that he could not keep the 50,000 taels he had obtained, so he immediately changed his attitude.
"Look at what Khan Ama said. Is my son such a stingy person? Since I gave the money to Khan Ama, there is no reason for me to ask for it back, right?"
Haha, what you said is that you are just afraid that I will take back the 50,000 taels of silver I gave you. Are you really so generous that you are so sad about the passing of time in Enze Garden that you want to starve yourself to death, you little rascal.
"Of course. I'm not like you. I never ask for anything back after I give it away."
Yes, you are generous, so generous, so trustworthy. Then why did you depose the crown prince later? You didn't give him the position, so why are you asking for it back? You are calling me stingy. I am only asking for back my two hundred thousand taels of silver, while you are taking back the kingdom that was within his reach. Who is stingy between us?
As soon as Kangxi saw Yinzuo's dissatisfied and angry expressions, he knew that this guy was definitely making up stories about him again. But the same thing goes, what good words could come out of this dog's stomach? He didn't want to dig into the matter and make himself angry. He simply turned a blind eye and asked Liang Jiugong to bring a basket of fresh lychees that had just been offered as tribute to Yinzuo and send him out of Qingxi Book House.
"Hmph, next time, I will definitely not let you catch me next time."
During Yinzuo's trip to Qingxi Book House, he found the culprit of the rumors, but that was all. Not only did he not get justice for himself, but he was also caught in the act. He went in with a clear conscience, but came out looking humiliated, but almost ashamed.
"Dexi, come and eat lychees. Take some to mother later and send some to fourth brother as well. Leave a plate of the rest and share the rest with eighth and ninth brothers. Khan Ama has plenty anyway. We can come back for more tomorrow after we finish eating."
Yinzuo was now standing at the door of the study in Qingxi Book House. He spoke without controlling his voice, so Kangxi inside naturally heard it. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Kangxi's voice was heard from the study!
"Liang Jiugong, did you hear me? If you see this brat dare come over here tomorrow, kick him out! He really thinks this is his warehouse. He actually thought he could finish all the lychees in one day. Come, go outside and ask someone to bring the basket in..."
When Yinzuo heard Kangxi's reply, he immediately called Dexi over, and the two of them ran away with the baskets. Just kidding, he had just distributed all the lychees. If his Khan Ama took them back in anger, what would happen to his boast?
Listening to the noise outside, Kangxi in the study could almost imagine Yinzuo and Dexi fleeing with baskets. The smile in his eyes couldn't help but grow a little brighter. In fact, what he said just now was just to scare Yinzuo. After all, although what the brat said just now was quite irritating, he was still quite satisfied with the lychee distribution plan.
Although Yinzuo liked money, he was not a stingy person. On the contrary, he was very generous. A basket of lychees was divided up into few in just a short time after he got it. This was because Dexi was worried that his master would not have enough to eat, so when distributing it to everyone, you gave less and he took less to make up the difference.
"Master, please save your food. We can't really eat it all today and then go to His Majesty to get more tomorrow. I'm afraid that if you really do that, His Majesty will really beat us out."
Yinzuo lay on a lounge chair under the pavilion, eating the lychees peeled by Xiahe one by one with a small silver fork, completely ignoring Dexi's worries.
"What are you afraid of? If he hits us, don't we have legs? Can't we run away? Don't worry, I will cover you and make sure you come out safe and sound."
Dexi is worried. We both have long legs and can run, but the problem is that if His Majesty wants to have us beaten out, you dare to run, but I don't. How can I be safe and sound? If he dares to run, whether he can keep his legs is another matter.
But he also knew that it was useless to worry, because his master was never the kind of person who would listen to advice. He could only pray silently in his heart that his master would forget about this matter when he woke up tomorrow morning.
