In the afternoon, after everyone took their seats, Yinzhen noticed that Fei Yanggu looked unwell and quickly asked him what was wrong.
"Father-in-law, is there some trouble?" The group investigated separately, and the results have just come out.
"Are you ready to accept trouble?" Fei Yanggu asked.
"Um."
"What if the Jue Luo clan also participates?" Fei Yanggu asked, looking at Yinzhen.
“I accept it,” Yinzhen replied firmly.
Fei Yanggu heard Yinzhen's reply and told him about the information he had found out.
The Jue Luo clan not only got involved, but they even managed the selection of the new army.
They merely used tactics to sell the qualifications for selection, without even considering whether the selection process was successful.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingyan's almond-shaped eyes widened. Sure enough, those people were shrewd; they were even selling such a spot.
"Mother, is no one going to do anything about it?" Qingyan found it strange. If a similar official were found in the capital, wouldn't Father Emperor have taken action?
“Right now, the new army and the navy are the most important, and His Majesty cannot make decisions lightly,” Fei Yanggu said helplessly.
Now, those people are only relying on the fact that Kangxi needs to understand the current situation before he can make a decision; otherwise, Kangxi would not keep these troublemakers by his side.
"For now, hold back!" Yinzhen replied coldly.
Kangxi must have had his own plans. Yinzhen believed that if he were to disrupt things due to his weakness, things would become even more unpleasant.
"Fourth Prince, how confident are you?" Seto asked Yinzhen uneasily.
If they followed Yinzhen, and Kangxi changed his mind slightly, their whole family would become sacrifices.
Yinzhen turned the thumb ring on his right hand, his face tense, showing no extra emotion.
"I'm about 60% sure that if they were on the Crown Prince's side, they wouldn't have sent my elder brother and me here. They would have sent the Crown Prince instead," Yinzhen replied directly.
"Little darling, can you start investigating Linglong Pavilion?" Yinzhen asked directly.
Qingyan tilted her head, looking uneasy. Why investigate that side?
"Fourth Master, is there something wrong with Linglong Pavilion?!" Saito didn't want Qingyan to investigate Linglong Pavilion anymore; the people there were innocent.
Yinzhen nodded. They used the jewelry from Linglong Pavilion to exchange information, and some even used it as a bargaining chip, since the Jueluo clan had connections with Linglong Pavilion.
To avoid Qingyan getting involved in trouble, Yinzhen decided to thoroughly clean up Linglong Pavilion first.
Qingyan listened attentively to Yinzhen's analysis, and felt more confident.
"I will investigate, but you need to give me a list first." Qingyan felt that Linglong Pavilion had a large number of VIP customers, and selecting from them would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Fei Yanggu and Yinzhen exchanged a glance and smiled bitterly. If they had solid evidence, they wouldn't have personally invited Qingyan to investigate.
“We only have a general range, and we can select the most similar ones from that range for further investigation.” Fei Yanggu had no choice but to compromise.
The Crown Prince's lineage must be treated with extra care and caution. Prime Minister Su is a very cautious person; he will cower in fear as soon as he notices a change in the environment.
"Fourth, I can't investigate Prime Minister Suo myself," Qingyan said, explaining his predicament. "Prime Minister Suo's wife rarely uses Linglong Pavilion's jewelry. It's said that her jewelry is almost always given to her by her servants or her family!"
Everyone present was stunned. Just how much power did Prime Minister Suo have that his wife wouldn't even buy jewelry?
"Are there any traces of the Crown Prince or Crown Princess inside?" Qingyan had been keeping a close eye on Suo'etu's family, which is why Yinzhen was able to ask with such confidence.
She nodded and handed them the news that had recently come back from the capital. It contained evidence of the Guarjia clan, showing that they were involved in more than just selling official positions.
"The selection for the new army has reached 50,000 taels of gold per position in the capital. You think the price for the online army will be even higher!" Qingyan specially sent someone to visit around, and sure enough, those people were no pushovers.
Fifty thousand taels?! Gold?!
Fei Yanggu and his two sons exchanged glances with Yinzhen. Such a high price was unprecedented. It seemed they needed to think about it carefully.
"Could we report this to His Majesty? This is an excellent idea, and we can earn more for the military pay!" Fei Yanggu was tempted. The pay for both the new army and the navy was borne by Emperor Kangxi. If one-tenth of the quota were converted into silver, it should improve the treatment of the soldiers.
ah? !
Yinzhen was stunned when he heard Fei Yanggu's words. Was Fei Yanggu planning to sell these spots himself?
"Father-in-law, this matter is of great importance. You should be careful!" Yinzhen was helpless. Fei Yanggu was definitely not one to listen to advice. If something really went wrong, wouldn't Xiao Guai regret it to death?
puff!
When Fei Yanggu started laughing, Yinzhen became somewhat timid. Yinzhen had always kept his mouth shut when it came to matters of military power.
"Don't overthink it. I plan to use these quotas to add more benefits to the military camp. I'll explain it to His Majesty and let His Majesty's loyal ministers do it. That should be even better!" Fei Yanggu anticipated that Ulanara would definitely not receive this honor.
"Is it going to be you who does it?" Yinzhen asked worriedly.
Emperor Kangxi was unpredictable. If he could use Fei Yanggu now, he wouldn't bring up old grievances. But if he couldn't use him anymore, then each of these things would be considered a sin.
"Of course not, neither will anyone here nor the Yin Genjue Luo clan!" Fei Yanggu laughed.
His Majesty considered many options, and the best candidate should be those Dragon Guards who operate under the guise of darkness. After all, they have undergone extensive training, and their adaptability is far superior to that of the others.
As soon as the words were spoken, the group breathed a sigh of relief. They felt this task was a hot potato and were determined not to let anyone around them touch it.
"Father, who do you think is the best person to do this?" Qingyan was very curious about who Kangxi would entrust this task to.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the one in the public eye should be Dong E Qishi!" Granny Fei Yanggu said with a smile, looking at the ring on her hand.
Dong Eqi held a very high position and was also the prince's father-in-law. Many people would go to buy the quotas for the new army. Fei Yanggu was different. Saito and Eshuo were very strict in enforcing the law, and there was no possibility of them knowingly violating it.
Those families hoping to obtain a spot had long excluded Saito and Eshuo. Even though Kangxi secretly had Feiyanggu sell the spots, the results were not very good.
"I'm stubborn, and with Saito and Eshuo supervising me, no one will believe me!" Dong Eqishi also has a good-for-nothing youngest son, so he has to bow his head for his son's sake.
Qingyan laughed. Few people could accept Fei Yanggu's fiery temper, but Kangxi felt that it was true nature. Compared with Dong Eqi, Fei Yanggu had a wilder side.
