Chapter 687 A Step-by-Step Thrill 59
Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that the reason why the bondservant dared to act so recklessly was due to the contempt and disdain shown towards them by the royal family and nobles.
In the eyes of this group of self-important royals, bondservants were nothing more than servants to be driven and served by them.
Who would care about a lackey?
Therefore, it doesn't matter if the bondservants are a little greedy—only those with selfish desires are easy to control; if the other party is without desires, that's what they don't want to see.
But it was precisely this insignificant indulgence that made the bondservants in the Imperial Household Department increasingly greedy, and their appetites grew ever larger.
Lin Jiu felt that the corrupt official had not just embezzled a little, but a huge amount!
Subsequent in-depth investigations into relevant materials from the Imperial Household Department further confirmed Lin Jiu's earlier judgment.
Only then did she truly realize that the royal family had nurtured such a massive and enormous swarm of rats!
The worst part is that these people didn't even realize their base had been raided, which is... quite frustrating and speechless.
and……
Lin Jiu pondered the situation in Emperor Kangxi's harem, feeling a mix of emotions.
As far as she knew, the vast majority of them were bondservants under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Household Department. They were of low status, but were selected to enter the palace to serve the emperor because of their beauty and talent.
In addition, there was a small number of Han Chinese women, who, though few in number, were able to secure a place in the palace.
In stark contrast, those concubines who came from the Manchu or Mongol Eight Banners were extremely rare.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the entire Kangxi Emperor's harem had basically become the domain of the bondservant class!
Even the birth mother of the current Fourth Prince Yinzhen, Consort De, of the Uya clan, was a bondservant. Therefore, Lin Jiu couldn't help but sigh, "Boatser are really capable!"
Others surround the cities from the countryside, but they are like bondservants surrounding the emperor. One has to give a shout-out to 9, because 6 has turned the tables!
After all, the concubine was a bondservant, and her son was also a bondservant; the presence of bondservants was everywhere.
Now that Yinzhen had brought this up, Lin Jiu thought for a moment, then gestured to Yuling, asking her to bring over the information she had been investigating.
Lin Jiu secretly pondered that the later Empress Dowager Cixi seemed to have come from a bondservant background. This might be an opportunity to give the bondservant a heavy blow. It can't be said that she was ruthless, because these people are becoming more and more unscrupulous and audacious. They even dare to embezzle the items that Hongxuan needs for studying and pass them off as inferior ones. It's simply lawless!
Before that, when Lin Jiu realized this, the anger in her heart was about to burst forth.
Hmph! How arrogant! Since you're so reckless, don't blame me for being impolite! I'll flip the table and take you all down!
Therefore, the relevant information was originally carefully investigated and prepared by Lin Jiu in advance.
So not long after, Yuling quickly retrieved the documents as instructed and respectfully handed them to Yinzhen.
Yinzhen took the paper with a puzzled look in his eyes and saw a thick stack of papers in front of him.
He was completely baffled—he couldn't understand why Ajiu would suddenly give him so many...papers.
So, out of curiosity, I lowered my head and started flipping through the pages.
However, as he flipped through the pages, his gaze gradually became serious and sharp.
In the blink of an eye, his expression underwent a dramatic change: first, he was filled with astonishment, then with resentment, and finally, he exuded a chilling aura of violence.
