In that instant, he realized that he had been too optimistic!
He asked the guard for a table so he could plead his case to Emperor Yongzheng, but the guard did not give it to him.
Emperor Yongzheng issued a special decree to Li Fu: "Except for the food and drink of the lowest of the low, which can be given to people to carry, all other items such as pens, ink, beds, curtains, books, calligraphy, ice, and soup are not to be given to him."
During the sweltering heat, with high walls and a small room, Yinzhen was chained and his hands and feet were restrained. He often fell into a coma, and his family would spray him with cold water until he woke up.
He was tormented like this for three months, and 28 charges were listed against him. In the end, he was physically weak and died in depression!
At this time, Prince Yintang's residence, Prince Yinzhen's residence, and Prince Yinsi's residence were very close to each other.
Even later, when Emperor Kangxi built palaces for his princes in Changchun Garden, Yinzhen's palace and the Ninth Prince's palace were adjacent to each other.
The ancients valued choosing their neighbors carefully and befriending them. Living so close together was naturally for the convenience of social interaction.
However, because they each had their own political factions, and because Yinzhen was good at socializing and doing business, he improved the status of the Eighth Prince's faction in the court, which aroused Yinzhen's hatred, leading to his tragic end.
Of course, at this point, Yinzhen only helped Yinsi occasionally.
After all, comparatively speaking, he is indeed good at making money.
However, day by day, they only increased the other person's appetite.
Right now, that fool is probably planning to extort money from the minister.
These are just some of the wealthy businessmen with names and surnames; there are countless other wealthy businessmen without names or surnames.
Thinking of this, Sherry asked Lingxiang to bring out soaps with different flower shapes.
Thinking that Lao Ba was still too idle, Xue Li thought for a moment and took out the medicine she had given to Suo'etu in the past.
It's that thing that stimulates estrogen, making you effeminate.
Then, no matter how eloquent he is, will he still have the nerve to use his high-pitched voice to fool people?!
Sherry thought about it and was happy.
As his soul expanded, by sheer coincidence, the three brothers were enjoying drinks and conversation in the largest restaurant in the capital.
Hmm, watching them all so righteous and indignant, cursing corrupt officials.
Coincidentally, no one thought to report it to the Emperor; they were all thinking of coming up with their own ideas to teach those people a lesson.
The ninth and tenth brothers probably really wanted to teach them a lesson.
As luck would have it, the Eighth Prince mentioned, "Corrupt officials, embezzling so much silver, yet they only know how to cry poverty in front of Father Emperor, sigh!"
Whether he had other intentions or not, the other two didn't know. Old Nine's eyes darted around as he thought about how to deal with the man.
Old Shi didn't even look up as he drank his wine.
While clinking glasses with the tenth brother, the eighth brother glanced at the ninth brother.
Sherry: The old saying is true, a dog that bites doesn't bark.
System: What about the snake that bites people?
Sherry: Why don't you give it a try?
System: Ahem, I'm off to do something else.
Shirley ignored all that and left the mansion with her maids and servants.
When we passed by that restaurant, I slipped that drug into Lao Ba's wine glass.
At this moment, the eighth brother didn't want to drink anymore, but the tenth brother was enjoying his drink, and the ninth brother was still carefully planning how to mess with those corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen.
So, having no other choice, the eighth brother drank some more with the tenth brother.
Seeing him tilt his head back and drink it made Sherry feel much better.
They bought some pearls and imported goods and returned to the prince's residence.
When Yinzhen returned, he was in high spirits.
Sherry told him to take a bath with soap, and a short while later, Yinzhen rushed out wrapped in a robe.
He looked at Sherry with intense eyes.
Okay, this guy really loves money! The last time I saw her like this was when she was dancing in a see-through outfit.
Sherry rolled her eyes at him.
"Yao Ling, tell me, what is this? Where did you buy it?"
"You'll tell me after you've finished washing!"
"I'm all washed!" Yin Tang said, eagerly sitting down next to Xue Li.
Sherry glanced at Lingxiang, who then presented the tray to her.
Yinzhen picked them up one by one and looked at them, his mouth practically stretched to his ears in a grin.
"It smells so good, and it feels so comfortable to use! It's a real treasure~" Yin Tang said, unable to resist licking the milk soap.
Sherry: ⊙▽⊙
Lingxiang: ⊙▽⊙
A certain system: ⊙▽⊙
"Do you like it? This is my dowry!" Shirley looked at him with an air of nonchalance.
Upon hearing that it was Xue Li's dowry, Yin Tang calmed down.
"Yao Ling, how about this? Let's cooperate. I won't covet your recipe. Let's open a shop together and sell our products all over the Qing Dynasty, okay? You can keep all the money from the shop!"
Yinzhen was a little reluctant, but he couldn't bring himself to steal a woman's dowry.
He spoke with some hesitation.
"Yes, sir, we can sell not only throughout the Qing Dynasty, but also overseas! You know, no one, whether from noble families or scholars, can refuse these!"
"Of course I know!" Yin Tang was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.
"But! Yinzhen, we must earn money honestly and openly, and never be greedy for petty gains, such as abusing power to oppress others, or extorting money. After all, you are already married and will soon be a father. You can't let your father look down on you forever, can you?! Let your children be looked down upon by your cousins, can you?! Let your mother lose face in the harem, can you?!"
"It's like ginseng. Do you really think Father Emperor doesn't know that everyone under you is going to show you respect? Why don't you know to show respect to Father Emperor?"
"Besides, after all that work, did Mother benefit from your efforts or did you benefit yourself? We only hear about Ninth Master making money, but we haven't seen how much money there is in the manor."
"This humble servant also wishes to gain some respect among my sisters-in-law and in front of Father Emperor! Is that alright?"
As Shirley spoke, her eyes remained fixed on Yinzhen.
Yin Tang was still somewhat indignant when he heard the terms "abuse of power" and "extortion".
But looking into Shirley's clear eyes, I felt inexplicably guilty.
He thought about the people serving him; surely they wouldn't be under the watchful eye of his wife?
He had just had this idea that afternoon, and that's all his wife wanted to say to him.
However, he was a little embarrassed, wondering where all the money he had earned had gone.
How much money can he possibly give away? After careful calculation, it turns out the bulk of it all went to the myna bird.
But the myna bird never paid him back the money.
Yin Tang was feeling rather depressed.
But after hearing the end, I felt that I hadn't stood up for my wife!
Yinzhen was even more upset, and became listless.
Sherry didn't say anything more, and took his hand to take a bath together.
Yinzhen's head snapped up instantly, and he shyly helped Xueli change her clothes.
As Shirley looked up at the handsome young boy, Yinzhen's breathing became increasingly rapid.
The servants filed out, and Yin Tang couldn't wait to kiss them.
Then, the couples' bath begins.
Sherry hugged Yinzhen's neck and shook him.
Yinzhen was panting heavily, and he tightened his grip on Xue Li.
The two people had damp hair, the candlelight was dim, the air was filled with moisture, and the floor was covered with splashes of water and disheveled clothes.
By the time everything was ready, Sherry was already asleep.
Yinzhen propped himself up on his arm and looked at Xue Li. Suddenly, he leaned down and kissed her forehead, then put his arm around her and they fell asleep together.
The next day, Yinzhen arranged for someone to send some silver to Xue Li.
Of course, there are also jewelry and fabrics.
