The midday sun was shining in the garden.
Concubine Tong summoned Qing Yan and the twins to the garden.
After listening to Yin's report on the direction of the investigation, Kangxi arranged for Concubine Tong to talk to Qing Yan.
Kangxi believed that this idea should be Qing Yan's.
Mentioned.
"Shu, take the two little guys down to play, be careful not to touch them."
Concubine Tong found out that the twins had been curious about the garden, and quickly asked Shu to take them out, so that they could leave the pavilion to talk about business. "" Shu quickly agreed.
After Qing Yan watched the group leave, she understood slightly that Concubine Tong sent the children away intentionally.
"Little dear, I heard what the fourth child said, why did you think of this?"
Concubine Tong asked curiously.
Qing Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Concubine Tong came to talk to her, which was better than Kangxi coming in person.
"Mother, after I came to the south, I received a lot of gift orders, and I was always worried that I would cause trouble for you."
Qing Yan sighed, "There is no shortage of these things at home.
If those people bring them, I will give them all."
If you refuse them one by one, it will make the other sisters-in-law look bad.”
A smile appeared on Concubine Tong's lips.
Qing Yan had grown up and understood Kangxi's intentions.
"My dear, everything on the gift list includes tea and tonics."
Concubine Tong didn't look at the gift list in the south very carefully.
She just asked Shu to find it yesterday.
She took a small rosewood box, which contained the official family members from the south.
She opened it and looked at it.
There was a thick stack of gift lists inside.
The Cao family really gave away a lot of things.
"My dear, you and Mr.
Yin Genjueluo have a conflict."
Concubine Tong learned from Mrs.
Tong Guogang that Qing Yan had asked the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion to visit Mrs.
Yin Genjueluo.
Qing Yan reluctantly admitted: "It's Ir's wife who is too annoying.
It is said that she is a female member of the Cao family.
She was unfavorable to my sister-in-law at the door.
I just wanted to vent my anger.
Mother, did I do something wrong?"
Concubine Tong also heard some rumors.
It was said that Yi'er's wife dared to show off her power in front of Dafu Jin and said some inexplicable words because she was the daughter-in-law of Yin Genjueluo family.
"If I hadn't happened to be there that day, my sister-in-law might have been criticized for a long time."
Qing Yan was tired of this kind of people the most.
He didn't have the ability, yet he still dared to sing high-profile outside.
"Forget it, this matter is over.
I will issue an order and scold him.
Ir's record is not good, so he should not stay."
Concubine Tong listened to Kangxi's wishes and planned to let Yin and Yinnan stay directly after their tour.

The officers and soldiers at the military port were carefully selected.
Yin directly and secretly investigated the true military merits of all the officers.
There was indeed a lot of information in the reports, and some of them completely plundered the military merits of others.
Yin Ze set out to investigate the diplomatic direction of the generals' wives.
He was in the military port and they were not prepared to keep those people.
"My dear, what you said is true."
Concubine Tong glanced at it briefly.
There were teas and tonics on each gift list, and there were very few treasures and other items.
Concubine Tong waved to Shu Zhu, and asked her to bring up the pen and ink she had prepared, and draw it directly on the gift list.
She didn't know it without looking at it, but she was really shocked when she saw it.
The officials and their families had a lot on their minds.
The tea leaves and tonics were not written in detail.
When most people saw them, they just thought they were just food.
Shu Zhu had people prepare the things, but they were surprised.
The quality of those tonics is better than those in the palace, and some of them are special tribute items from the south.
"Sure enough, if you didn't remind us, we would have ignored it."
Concubine Tong looked at the tea leaves inside and felt that in the past few years, she would have given the tea leaves she took during the southern tour directly to Mrs.
Tong Guowei.
"Mother, in addition, most of these tonics are tributes."
Qing Yan lowered his voice and said.
Concubine Tong looked at the Qing Banquet in surprise.
The tribute could still appear in the gift list.
"The shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn bought a lot of tributes, and they were all exchanged for silver coins."
Qingyan didn't care.
This part was basically supplied to Yuelai Inn in the capital.
The private rooms there were all guests of the royal family or clan. .
"Really" Concubine Tong didn't expect that the imperial merchants in the south would be so bold.
"I heard from the shopkeepers that the royal merchants should have prepared enough silver coins, and some of the current managers need to use silver coins to get through."
Qing Yan said in a low voice.
After Concubine Tong heard this, her expression immediately turned bad.
The tributes in the palace are purchased by each imperial merchant in quantity.
Even if there are one-tenth substitutes, these will be sealed in the House of Internal Affairs and will never be spread out.
"Are you sure those are the tributes from that year?"
Concubine Tong remembered that the imperial merchants would sell some of the accumulated things to outsiders.
"I personally inspected this year's items.
They are the same as the ones sent to me by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Even the quality of the bird's nests is higher."
Qing Yan felt that the Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted to clean it up, but he dared to Get hands-on.
After the words fell, Concubine Tong's heart fell completely to the bottom.
Kangxi kept saying that the Ministry of Internal Affairs must have received a lot of kickbacks, and Mrs.
Tong Guowei kept saying good things in front of Concubine Tong.
Therefore, Concubine Tong never started to deal with it.
The current situation made her very disappointed.
Mrs.
Tong Guowei had a lot of things from these people in her hands.

"My dear, I have a favor to ask of you," said Concubine Tong, looking at Qing Yan.
"Mother, if you have any questions, just tell me.
There's no need to say this."
Qing Yan was a little numb.
For Concubine Tong to say this, the problem was probably really serious.
"Keep an eye on Tong Guowei's mansion," Concubine Tong said.
Qing Yan opened her mouth slightly, but there was no sound.
That's Concubine Tong's natal family.
"Mom, I can't do this.
Yin will definitely not let me go."
Qing Yan didn't want to get involved in the Tong family's affairs.
Whether it was Tong Guowei or Tong Guogang, they were all members of Kangxi's maternal family.
Concubine Tong was a little decadent and understood that Qing Yan also had concerns.
"Well, if you don't want to interfere, E Niang won't give it to you in front of you.
Ask Yuelai Inn and Linglong Pavilion to bring the account books of Tong Guowei's mansion, not only from the capital, but from all places in the Qing Dynasty.
Send me this.
Is it okay to ask?"
Concubine Tong had no choice but to see for herself how many wrong things her natal family had done.
Under Concubine Tong's firm eyes, Qing Yan was forced to agree.
Those account books were dead objects and were handed over directly to Concubine Tong.
She had never read them.
Even if something happened, she would not be involved.
"It's good for you to do this.
It's also good for Yin to be more cautious."
Concubine Tong was a little panicked before, but when she calmed down, she felt that what Qing Yan did was right.
"Thank you for the compliment," Qing Yan pursed his lips and smiled.
In private, Yin Ke often talked to her about this matter
