Perhaps because it is by the sea and dusk again, the drought and hot feeling of the day was swept away. Under the afterglow of the sunset, the rippling water surface, the weeping willows moving with the wind, and the distant mountains with beautiful colors, the beautiful scenery and extraordinary scenery.

Tuoheqi had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery at all, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked up at Cao Yong who was talking to the soldier. Although he was resentful of him, he couldn't help but admire his boldness. Even for the sake of the safety of the master inside, he still wanted to think whether he would appreciate it or not. It would be too reckless to surround him with people like this.

If Cao Yong had not brought the people from the infantry yamen under his jurisdiction, Tuoheqi would have hoped to watch this fun. Cao Yong had followed the Thirteenth Prince at noon and was surrounded by here now. Even if it was just a coincidence, he would still have room for his master to play.

Cao Yong looked at the sign not far away, thinking about the reactions of the various prefectures. Half an hour passed, and what should be come is also coming.

The mansion of the Third Prince Cheng is in Xizhimen, the closest to this place, and is the first one to arrive. Now, he is very upset that preventing the epidemic has caused the Fourth Prince to steal the first place. In order to not take responsibility, he was still sick and wanted to see the fourth prince's joke. Unexpectedly, the order came down so quickly, not only did he fully agree with the fourth prince's so-called "epidemic prevention and isolation", but he also ordered him to co-organize it! After this, the credit was the fourth prince, but he had to accompany him to be punished. Thinking about it, he felt very confused.

It would be fine if the epidemic prevention was successful. Unexpectedly, Prince Shuncheng, who had never been able to make a fuss at this time, was actually in trouble at this time! If the consequences of letting him rush out of the city, the third prince was scared. If the epidemic really spreads to the entire Zhili, he and the fourth prince would have followed suit.

However, the waves were just settled and the waves were rising again. Cao Yong was a bit bold and arrogant when he led people to surround the Prince's Mansion. However, the people who accompanied the infantry yamen were also here, and they went there under the banner of "to prevent the epidemic". After all, they had the word "reason", which was understandable. The third prince did not mean to blame him. Of course, with his personality of hiding as far as he could in case of trouble, he naturally did not want to help. The reason why he came in such a hurry was that he was afraid that the fourth brother would come first, so he would cover him up, mainly because he wanted to see the excitement.

When Prince Yong's Mansion, the fourth prince heard that Cao Yong and his men surrounded the Prince's Mansion in Shichahai, he couldn't help but frown when thinking about his younger brother's character. Cao Yong has always been careful in his errands, and he has heard of this for a long time. Two months ago, the Ministry of Revenue made mistakes. Among the fourteen departments, only the Fujian Department could not find any fault. This morning, Cao Yong was able to take the overall situation into consideration and intercept Prince Shuncheng out of the city. It can be seen that he is selfless. Even if he is selfless, he should have some concerns. Now that the Holy Lord is not in the capital, who can protect him?

The fourth prince frowned into the word "chuan". While asking someone to prepare for the horse, he called the manager and whispered a few instructions. Just as he was about to go out, he was called: "Prince, stay!"

What did the Fourth Prince turn around? Seeing that the person who spoke to keep the person was his confidant Dai Jin. Dai Jin stepped forward and said, "The prince rushed over like this, but he wanted to control the Tenth Prince and protect Cao Yong?"

The fourth prince nodded: "This Cao Yong is younger. Even if he finds something wrong in the mansion over there, he should report it to me or the third prince before making a decision!"

"Prince, if Cao Yong reported to the prince and the third prince, would those two men allow this son to lead people to seal the mansion?" Dai Jin asked.

"This is related to the safety of the people in the capital, so naturally..." He couldn't continue to say this. Because of the deposed prince storm a few years ago, Kangxi was extremely shy about the struggle between the prince. Even if Cao Yong's reasons were justified, he and the third prince would not dare to provoke the "firebuke" the tenth prince easily, otherwise they would be suspected of taking the opportunity to make things difficult for their younger brother, which would be to let the emperor's father look at him differently.

After pondering for a while, the Fourth Prince finally relieved his brows and nodded. He had gone out of Beijing several times in the early years and had seen the miserable scenes of the people after the major disasters and epidemics. If such a tragic scene appeared in the capital, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Dai Jin couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, I'll go, but please don't be loyal. Although Cao Yong is the princess, the Cao family is different today. Although his father Cao Yin explicitly promoted the title, his power in Jiangnan was gradually replaced by Li Xu. If it was for him and turned against the tenth prince, it would be more than worth the loss."

The fourth prince looked solemn and said, "I transferred Cao Yong from the Ministry of Revenue. If I watched him get cleaned up by the tenth brother, what would happen to the epidemic prevention in the inner city tomorrow?" After that, he turned around and left the mansion.

Dai Jinchu was planning for the gains and losses for the fourth prince and did not care about anything else. When she remembered this, she understood that this was not a regression. Otherwise, it would be a joke to try to investigate other royal palaces.

He frowned, but couldn't help but wonder, and murmured: "Did this Cao Yong do it intentionally?" Then he shook his head. It was just a young man who was fond of his father and grandfather. Not to mention that he didn't have such a scheming, even if someone gave me some advice, what would he do?

*

On the south bank of Shichahai, in front of Dunjun Prince's Mansion.

The open space around the royal palace was covered with lime, and soldiers from the infantry yamen numbered more than 100 people were scattered everywhere.

The third prince arrived with the Changsui, looking worried, and got off the horse. Cao Yong and Tuohe hurriedly came forward and greeted the third prince.

The third prince Cheng is thirty-five and sixty years old, and looks a little thin, but he is a bit gentle and elegant, and he is also warm to others. He pointed to the royal palace in front of him: "What's wrong? But what's wrong with the prince's mansion? You have to invite the imperial physician to come here quickly!"

Just one sentence, the Dun County Prince's Mansion was "inappropriate". Tuo Heqi was a little surprised. This style of behavior was inconsistent with the good-tempered prince's behavior. It was abnormal and Tuo Heqi didn't want to trap himself in. He hurriedly pointed at Cao Yong and said, "Reply to the prince, this matter of epidemic prevention in the inner city, the princess Cao Yong is responsible for the detailed investigation. The servant was also here, and he did not know the details."

The princess's identity is equivalent to the first rank of military officers, and is even higher than the nine-sect admiral of Toheqi, so he is still very polite and respectful on his face.

The third prince looked at Cao Yong again: "Little Cao Yong, this is..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horse hooves. Everyone looked at the sound, and the dust was flying, and more than a dozen riders arrived in an instant. The leaders were the tenth prince Yinyi and the ninth prince Yinyi.

The tenth prince turned over and dismounted, and didn't bother to greet the third prince. Then he pointed at Cao Yong angrily with his hand holding a whip and said, "Okay, I've bullied you. Who gave you the courage?"

The ninth prince's face was gloomy and looked at the third prince, and gave a greeting with a smile: "I heard that the third brother was slightly ill these two days, and I was thinking about coming to visit the hospital tomorrow, but I looked very happy when I saw my brother!"

The third prince smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern for the ninth brother. Thank you for your great blessings, the emperor, is no longer a problem! Speaking of which, my brother envys you. It is really a brotherly love that is so close to you, the eighth brother, the tenth brother, and the fourteenth brother, and the fourteenth brother, and the same brother, is really a deep brotherhood!"

While talking, the two were paying attention to Cao Yong's reaction.

Cao Yong looked embarrassed and bowed his head, "It was Cao Yong's own decision to answer the words of the Tenth Master! He wanted to report to the Tenth Master first and then deal with it like this!" As he said that, he pointed to the lime in the surrounding areas of the royal palace: "After coming to the door to ask for a meeting, the Tenth Master was not in the mansion, and he did not dare to delay it, so he overcame the agent and asked someone to sprinkle the ground around the royal palace first. In the royal palace, in case of precautions, he also asked the Tenth Master to deal with it as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, the tenth prince first glanced at Prince Ninth, and then sneered at Cao Yong: "Look, what I said seems to be for the sake of my goodness. Why, the inner city is so big, but the prince's mansion is causing trouble? This is not something that can be careless with nothing but white teeth!"

Cao Yong asked, "Third Master, this... Cao Yong is a junior, so he should not say it, but he should not be afraid of medical treatment! If there is really something wrong, the Tenth Master is a noble body, and I am afraid he will regret it at that time!"

Seeing Cao Yong's serious appearance, not only did the Tenth Prince be confused, but even the Ninth Prince was stunned. The two looked at each other. The Tenth Prince was impatient and frowned and said, "Explain to me, what's going on? Why does it sound wrong? This doesn't seem like a good thing!"

Cao Yong asked again: "Is there a girl missing a few days ago when the Tenth Master's Mansion went to the Drum Tower Funeral Hall?"

The tenth prince showed a little uncomfortable: "I have no time to pay attention to this sesame thing!" Speaking of this, his eyes became a little sharp: "I'm so strange. Why did you know this thing that I didn't even pay attention to? Could it be that the Cao family is really rich and can't it be "god"?"

When the words were said, not only did the Ninth Prince change his face, but the Third Prince looked at Cao Yong with a look incorrect.

Cao Yong was secretly ridiculous in his heart. Everyone thinks that the tenth prince, who has always been irritable and has no restraint, is a "stupid". If he is really a fool, how could he be safe after Yongzheng ascended the throne? You must know that the eighth and the nineth prince all had a very miserable end. If he is really a fool, how could he decide with the ninth prince today's plan to kill two birds with one stone.

No matter what he felt, Cao Yong had a bit of "shaming" that he had been wronged and took out a booklet from his arms: "Third Master said this, but Cao Yong was heartbroken! Cao Yong went to the infantry yamen to work as a service in the inner city today to thoroughly investigate the epidemic. He first paid attention to the records of several burial sites." Seeing that he opened the booklet and pointed to one of the pages, he said: "On the third day of the fifth month, a maid from Dun County Prince's Mansion died suddenly due to illness! Corresponding to the records of burials in this area at the end of April, is it not necessary for the Tenth Master to be on guard against?"

The tenth prince was unsure and waved his hand and said, "Then I want to thank you for your trouble! Even so, I won't pursue your arrogance. You should take people away quickly. With such a posture, those who don't know think I'm being encircled!"

Cao Yong did not answer immediately. After hearing the reason, the third prince saw that the tenth prince changed his temperament and actually said "major things turned into small things, small things turned into small things"|. How could he let him do it, and said seriously: "Tenth brother, this is not a joke! This is related to the safety of the inner city, so be cautious!"

Before the Tenth Prince answered, the Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Third Brother's words are interesting, but I don't know how to be 'careful'? Could it be that I have to learn from the eldest prince and circle the tenth brother's mansion as I do today?"

The third prince was choked, and the ninth prince looked at Cao Yong again: "You think you are a smart person. You won't be so confused. Don't be so naughty. You have been someone else's gun! Whether you are sincere or fake, for the sake of the seventh brother, the tenth prince will not calculate with you today. Take the people to withdraw!"

He said, paying attention to Cao Yong's expression. Cao Yong frowned first, then was embarrassed, and finally seemed to have made up his mind and clasped his fists and said, "Jiu Master, this is my junior, Cao Yong is a junior, and he should obey your instructions, but..."

This is something that happened later. The Ninth Prince was a little annoyed: "Just how?"

"It's just that Cao Yong is carrying an errand!" Cao Yong said seriously with his face: "This errand does not involve one person or two, but is related to the safety of the inner city officials and the people! Since taking on this errand, Cao Yong should do his duty and dare not make mistakes!" At this point, he said to the Tenth Prince: "Tenth Prince, please tell him the identity of the suddenly dead maid. If he was a close servant, it would be inappropriate for Tenth Prince to go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion like this!"

"It's just a rough girl!" The tenth prince waved his hand impatiently, and then he understood and stared at Cao Yong and said, "Is it because of a girl who died? Is it because of the slut in my mansion? Even the master is not right to go to the ninth brother's mansion. What does this mean?"

Cao Yong looked at the Tenth Prince, then looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "If the Tenth Prince is lucky, it would be fine. If there is something unexpected, I am afraid that the Ninth Prince's Mansion will also be wary of it!"
