"Xiao Letian, you must tell me the truth today. How did the industrial zone plan succeed? And how did you quell the riot in Tanggu? What happened to the Nine Marshals? When did you get together? of……"
Mr. Qing didn't even drink a glass of wine. As soon as he sat down, he grabbed Xiao Letian's sleeve and sprayed questions one by one like a machine cannon. The spittle flew into Xiao Letian's face.
Xiao Letian put down the wine glass with a sneer, "Third Master, please eat some food first and take a breath. It's still a long time. If we don't wait for a while..." After three glasses of wine, Xiao Letian finally picked it up and said I told Mr. Qing half-truths and half-false things.
There is no need to repeat the entire process of the Tanggu riot. It is included in the imperial newspaper issued by the imperial court to the governor level. Although Mr. Qing is not a governor, it is still very easy to read these things due to his status as Prime Minister Zhang Jing.
There are only three questions that make the third master doubtful. One is how so many Mexican eagles came to be known as Xiao Letian. Why does the 29th handsome support Xiao Letian so much? Finally, why did the imperial court let Xiao Letian go so lightly, considering that more than a thousand people died in Tanggu.
Three questions have troubled Mr. Qing all the way. Now that he saw Xiao Letian, he had to ask to get to the bottom of it. "Brother, I have to warn you, I will tolerate your secret possession of bandits. This is not surprising in the Qing Dynasty. There are dozens of private slaves in my family. However, if you have other frivolous people, I will not agree to it even to death. Don’t blame me for cutting off my sworn relationship with you..."
Xiao Letian looked at Third Master Qing's serious look and wanted to laugh. "Third Master, do you know how much money you can earn as a member of a foreign bank? I estimate that by the end of this year you will be able to earn at least this amount..." Xiao Letian He was still gesticulating with his fingers, and Mr. Qing's nose became crooked with anger.
"Stop being so glib. You must explain everything today clearly to me..."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, listen to me and tell you slowly. Things in Yingyang are too simple. Don't you know that there is a foreign institution called a bank? That is much more advanced than our bank..."
In Xiao Letian's nonsense, the Yingyang exchange issue was all blamed on the foreigners. Anyway, the ocean trade plate is very big, and the transaction volume of millions is just like playing. Xiao Letian can really handle this small amount of money. .
As for the Ninth Commander's problem, it involves the infighting in the court. Third Master Qing is not stupid, nor does he know anything about politics. He is just a bit upright and idealistic. When Xiao Letian carefully explained to him the filth between the three factions, the third master could only sigh.
"Third Master, do you now know why the Shanghai Industrial Zone put the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in charge? It was to appease the Hunan Army. Why did Zeng Guofan refuse to go to Beijing in the autumn? And why did he say that Wuyi Mountain has long hair? Didn't he report to the imperial court? Are you putting pressure on? How fat is this industrial zone? Who doesn’t care about it?”
"And Enke this winter, this is a sweet date after the imperial court punished Qingliu. No matter how angry the Queen Mother and Her Majesty are that Qingliu secretly provoked the civil uprising, they still dare not tell the truth about it. The world. If you look at the court’s final verdict on Ma Bao and Huang Juren, you can see the court’s fear..."
Xiao Letian was right. After the court meeting, the Ministry of Justice quickly concluded the Tanggu Civil War. Huang Juren and Ma Bao actually died at the hands of the mob. All the previous trials of Ninth Commander Zeng Guoquan were overturned. The one-foot-tall testimonies and the witnesses from all over Tanggu are of no use at all. The Qing Dynasty’s Criminal Department is very good at telling lies.
However, at this time, the court's distribution of interests in this matter has been completed, all parties and factions have ceased their activities, and no one will cling to this matter stupidly.
As for those gossipy old men in the capital, they were the ones talking about in Three Minutes Hot Air. The matter of the Three Dou Rice Riot had already become boring after not even ten days of discussion, and no one wanted to mention it again.
Xiao Letian looked at Third Master Qing, who was blushing and embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject: "Come on, let's have a drink. You and I can't change anything in the court, so we'd better drink... As for you asking me how I can successfully break through, that's not it. I borrowed your light from my brother..."
"The imperial court has appointed you as the director of Tanggu Industrial Zone. Brother, I think I am still of some use to foreign affairs, so I was lucky enough to save a small life. This is all thanks to the blessing of the third master... Oh, by the way, Empress Dowager Cixi is... She’s your cousin, why don’t you use such a good relationship?”
"Eh! How did you know?" Mr. Qing's voice was raised an octave at that time. He was very surprised. Because of the complicated family relationships among the Manchus, even they themselves could sometimes get confused, let alone Xiao Letian. Such a Han Chinese. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"When you said that, I really remembered it. I have wanted to ask you for a long time, why did my sister come to Tanggu? And she also encountered such a big danger. Why didn't I, the younger brother, know about it?"
Xiao Letian looked embarrassed at that time, and quickly raised his glass to interrupt, "Drink and drink, Sister Hui just came to play with Huniu, this is all an accident..."
Qing Sanye had already drunk a lot by this time, and he was so confused that he let Xiao Letian get away with it. If he knew what happened to Fuhui and Xiao Letian during his stay in Tanggu, he would probably beat Xiao Letian on the spot. pause. Please come to more and faster chapters.
At this time, a hundred miles away in the capital, in the Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City, and on the Royal View Pavilion of Duixiu Mountain, Cixi was smiling and looking at Fuhui who came to visit him. After all, they were relatives of his cousin and were walking around. It's also a good thing.
Fu Hui is not an ordinary woman. She has learned a lot from the cleverness and energy of the Manchu aunt. She is sitting on the pavilion and describing the riot in Tanggu to the Queen Mother. When she talks about the crisis, the maids and eunuchs around her are all dumbfounded. Exclaimed.
"Empress Dowager Mingjian, my sister was so frightened that her face turned pale. Hundreds of bad guys with steel knives and chains in their hands came running towards me and Huniu. At that time, I only had four guards around me, and there were many people around me. It’s all covered with green gauze tents, it’s really out of the way and there’s no shop behind…”
With Fu Hui's eloquent words, she described the crisis at that time vividly, and she also used a little artistic processing, and her words were even more exciting than storytelling. Update as soon as possible
"Sister, I was really scared at the time, and my legs were weak from fear, but I couldn't think about it anymore. I came to Tanggu this time to choose a gift for my good sister, our empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty. How could this be possible? Let this group of mobs scare you? When I think of my sister, I don’t know why I feel so energetic. I am no longer afraid at that time, my legs are not weak anymore, so I retreat to the west with my guards..."
"Hey, guess what?" Fu Hui looked at Ande Hai and the surrounding eunuchs and maids with an exaggerated expression, and was met with surprised faces.
"Oh, the Queen Mother's blessing is really God-given. Our four guards and two weak women actually broke out from hundreds of thugs. Those four guards are all martial arts masters invited by Xiao Letian. They have copper coins. Darts, sleeve arrows, and iron caltrops were flying in all directions, and oh yes, there were also muskets. White smoke was flying everywhere from the continuous shooting..."
Fu Hui deserves to be a master storyteller. The truth and falsehood of a Tanggu riot made her story full of ups and downs and gripping. It can be said over a cup of tea. "Until the end, one of the four guards was seriously injured and three were killed. Just before my sister When I was desperate, I suddenly heard a voice from the sky. I don’t know how, but my heart was very clear, and I knew it was the voice of the Bodhisattva..."
"Just listen to what the Bodhisattva said, your Fucha family has been married to the royal family for generations, and you should not die here because of the blessings of the royal family. Moreover, your sister is the reincarnation of the Buddha. You are destined to become a secular relative with her, so you are also destined to have a secular relationship with her. What a blessing. After I finished the first update, my eyes lit up and I saw that the foreign troops had already rushed over. At the most critical moment, Xiao Letian came with his guards to save us. Only then can my sister come back alive? …”
Good guy, Fu Hui is like an Oscar-winning actress who has traveled through time. She burst into tears at every turn. In the end, she stood up and gave Ci Xi a Wanfu Jinan, "Sister, thank the Queen Mother and Lafayette for saving her life!"
Well, Cixi is so happy. She is a Buddhist and loves flattery. How could she not be happy today when she met Fu Hui, a master of flattery? "Hahaha, you, you, you, why are you so sweet? It's like applying honey. According to you, am I really the reincarnation of Buddha?"
Andehai's eyes narrowed when he saw Cixi's smile. How could this be fun? He quickly ordered everyone to kneel down: "Queen Mother, Lafayette, you are the reincarnation of Buddha. Otherwise, how could you be so lucky in the world?" Are they all flocking to you? Even the True Dragon Emperor calls you Niang and greets you every day. You are the reincarnation of the Buddha..."
"Good luck to Lafayette..." Everyone present knelt together on the rockery. Ci Xi was so happy. At this time, she didn't care about the truth or lies. The more she looked at Fu Hui, the more she liked her. Why didn't she realize that this sister was so good before?
At this time, Fuhui secretly winked at Andehai. Andehai understood and quickly said loudly, "Come here, bring up the gift that Sister Hui gave to Lafayette..." After saying this, a group of young eunuchs lowered their heads and held the gift. The gift box came up from under the rockery.
Fuhui stood up and opened the gift boxes one by one, "Lafayette, these are top-quality products that my sister and I purchased directly from foreigners in Tanggu Port. They were not faked by those shady dealers... these are from Italy." Crystal lamps, wine glasses, silverware. This is Swiss cheese and chocolate. This is milk-flavored sister. You have to try it..."
Under Fu Hui's introduction, exquisite Western goods were served like a stream, including various exquisite handicrafts, gold and silverware, special candies, pocket watches and clocks, and almost all the best goods in Europe at that time were served to her. .
"Hey, my sister, how much does this cost? I've always heard that your family is not well-off, why are you so generous all of a sudden?" Even Cixi was a little surprised at the end.
Fuhui said with a smile, "Thanks to Lafayette, my incompetent brother and Xiao Letian participated in a foreign business. Fortunately, we made money on the first transaction. I was thinking about such a big happy event, so we can't My whole family has been taken over. Without Lafayette to protect us, our poor siblings would not know what they would be like. So, if we lose our family, we must first thank Lafayette..."
When An Dehai heard this, he immediately picked on Brother Thumb. This level of flattery was simply unparalleled. He was worthy of being the female Zhuge among the aunts in the capital. She really wanted to get closer to this Fuhui in the future. The Queen Mother was obviously elated.
Cixi was already smiling from ear to ear, and the jokes from the people around her made her even more excited. At this time, Fuhui was a little distracted. The gifts in front of her were actually bought by Xiao Letian. She also recognized the last one among the little eunuchs holding the gifts. It was Er Mao from Yi County. All of these reminded her of Xiao Letian.
One night in Tanggu, in the sultry summer, after drinking, she somehow made her whole body so hot that she couldn't get rid of the heat even after taking a shower. It was that night that she bumped into Xiao Letian, who was drunk in the study.
Fu Hui knew that Xiao Letian got drunk after drinking with Jiu Shuai. At that moment, Fu Hui didn't know what was going on in her heart. She actually walked into the study.
When the door and windows were closed, even Xiang Shaolong, who was on guard on the roof, and the eagle who came to eavesdrop as usual, blushed a little. The warning circle instantly enlarged four times. Xiao Letian and Fu Hui spent their time An unforgettable summer night.
