After waiting for several days, Yin could no longer bear it. After breakfast, he went straight to Yin's study. Qingyan was helping Yin look at the accounts. The account books in the south were very complicated, which gave Qingyan a headache.
Lately, very little news from the south has reached the capital, as if it has been intercepted somewhere.
"Sister-in-law, has any news from the south arrived?" Yin had not received any news for ten days, and none of the people he had secretly dispatched had returned to the capital, which made Yin very worried.
Qingyan shook her head; it was the same for her.
"Sit down first. What's the point of wandering around here?" Yin shook his head, looking at Yin's restless appearance.
Yin sat directly opposite Yin, his expression extremely unpleasant.
"Fourth Brother, someone is bullying you, why aren't you worried at all?" Yin Du knew exactly who was bullying him, but he was still leisurely here, not even bothering to ask.
Yin took a sip of the plum juice and listened as Yin began to complain.
"Ninth Brother, have you vented your anger?" Yin asked, looking at Yin.
Yin was stunned. He was clearly indignant, so how did it become that Yin was the one who was angry?
"Who can intercept the news from the south?" Yin asked coldly.
The image of Emperor Kangxi flashed into Qingyan's mind, and she shuddered.
"Fourth Brother, what do you mean? Could it be that Father Emperor could intercept these messages?" Yin asked incredulously.
“If the Crown Prince becomes deeply entangled in the officialdom in the south, Father Emperor will definitely have concerns and will directly block all news!” Yin said, looking at Yin.
South
Yin felt in his past life that this place was a dye vat, and whoever got involved would eventually become something else entirely.
"Fourth Brother, has Eighth Brother interfered?" Yin didn't want Yinsi to use his servants anymore, but Yinsi knew that Anxie's servants were all bribed beforehand.
Yin stared at Yin, and only when the latter's expression was firm did Yin feel relieved.
"No!"
"Fourth Brother, what should we do? We can't just stay here in the capital and keep waiting for news, can we?" Yin was very anxious. In business, the most important thing is to have good information.
"Ninth Master, we have no news, but do others have news?" Qingyan sat to the side, watching Yin pace anxiously, and asked directly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin seemed to be awakened and looked at Qingyan with a smile.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, you're absolutely right. If we don't have any news, how could others possibly get it?" Businessmen rarely go to the south themselves, and it's not so easy to get information from the government.
Many merchants were keeping a close eye on Ninth Master and Qingyan's shops, watching to see how they would handle the situation.
"Ninth Brother, you must stay calm when doing things. Don't panic when something happens!" Yin said to Yin.
Yin scratched the back of his head sheepishly. His fourth brother was always so serious, which made Yin a little flustered.
"Fourth Brother, I sent three groups of people to the south, but not a single one has returned!" Yin sent these people to check on the business, but who would have thought that they would never hear from them again.
Yin raised an eyebrow, signaling Yin to continue.
"I was thinking, could I ask Father Emperor for leave and go there myself?" Yin believed that his status was high enough, and that going there himself would be the best solution.
"If you just go there for such a small matter, won't people outside laugh their heads off?" Yin shook his head, wondering what this guy was thinking.
Fourth Brother Yin was furious.
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. Just stay obediently in the capital and don't even think about going anywhere. Before things stabilize over there, anyone who goes there will be doomed. Didn't you see that I'm holed up in the Yuanmingyuan and completely ignoring the officialdom in the south?" Yin rubbed his heart. Yin and Yin are both stubborn. Fortunately, I'm already preparing to head to the military port in Guangdong and Guangxi.
Yin's face turned pale: "I'm not some hothead like the tenth prince!"
"I don't think you're much better off. You sent several groups of people over there, and they've only been gone a few days!" Yin glanced at Lao Jiu. This guy was really a headache.
Ugh!
Yin had calculated the time perfectly; they should have arrived long ago by now. That's why he started to feel nervous, thinking that something must have happened to those people.
"Fourth Brother, I understand!" Yin said, looking at Yin.
"Since you know this, I won't say any more. Remember, stability is the best solution right now." Yin reassured Yin, who then happily left the Yuanmingyuan.
Qingyan shook her head as she watched Yin Huan's cheerful figure disappear into the distance.
"Xiao Guai, give instructions to everyone who goes on missions to the south. Make sure they don't get involved in officialdom," Yin instructed Qingyan.
"Fourth Prince, don't you trust me?" Qingyan complained. "I don't like money as much as Ninth Prince."
"You two are pretty much the same, both money-grubbers!" Yin sighed helplessly.
"Hmph," Qingyan tossed the ledger in her hand to Yin, "Look for yourself!"
"Little darling, if you help me look at the accounts, I can spend a few days with you when I have some free time!" Yin lowered his voice and bargained with Qingyan.
Qingyan's eyes lit up when she heard Yin's words.
"Fourth Prince, are you serious?!" Qingyan looked at Yin with a smile.
Yin nodded: "If I am not mistaken, Father Emperor will probably send me and Yin to the south together."
Emperor Kangxi had originally intended to send Yinzhi, but Yinsi intercepted the offer. Yinzhi felt that Yinsi was the best person to send, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Now, everything is different, and Yin Si certainly can't steal it.
A few days later, Kangxi kept Yinzhi and Yinzhi behind and told them that after the New Year, he would set off to the south to manage the officialdom. Yinzhi secretly admired his fourth brother for being able to guess his father's thoughts.
"Ninth Prince, this is your first time on a mission. Remember to observe carefully and listen to your Fourth Brother's arrangements, understand?" Kangxi was worried about Yinzhen. This brat had spent a lot of time with Yinzhen, so his temper had become even more fiery.
"Alright!" Yin nodded. If another elder brother had been sent, Yin probably wouldn't have agreed, but if it were Yin himself, he would definitely have agreed immediately.
"After you get back, you two should discuss it with your wives first. It takes a long time to prepare a lot of things when you're traveling!" Every March, Emperor Kangxi would get restless and prepare to go south with his family.
"Yes!" After bowing, Yin and Yin left Changchun Garden. Inside the garden, Yin noticed Yinsi standing at the entrance of the corridor, as if waiting for someone.
"Fourth Brother, shall we go to the Yuanmingyuan through the side gate?" Yin couldn't face Yin Si.
