"Damn it. How dare you play tricks with me." There was a crisp sound. The white porcelain bowl of tea was thrown in front of Jiao Si's face. Boiling tea and broken porcelain pieces splashed onto Jiao Si's face. Blood suddenly flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Andhay was going crazy. These days are so rough. Empress Dowager Cixi has been furious several times. Even he got slapped several times. There were two young eunuchs who were killed with sticks. Everyone in the Forbidden City is in danger.
Who can blame all this? He's not that devil Xiao Letian. How could he be so capable of causing trouble? Why is it so difficult for him to surrender? He actually treated the royal law as a decoration.
And now. You, Jiao Si, a slave of the Eight Banners family, dare to play glib with me. It seems like you really don’t want to live anymore.
Andehai rushed forward, grabbed Jiao Si's braid with his left hand, and ordered him to lift it up. The left and right bows of the right hand were slapped in the face more than a dozen times.
"I told you to play tricks. I can't beat you to death, old bastard... tell me. How much money did you receive from Xiao Letian? You didn't even risk your life."
"Does Xiao Letian have any private soldiers? Does he have any rebellion? What the hell are you talking about..."
"Is there Xiao Letian's warship at sea? What conspiracy does he have with the foreigners? Are you mute..."
The ferocious-looking Andehai was beating and cursing angrily. After a while, Jiao Si's mouth and nose were all bleeding. The whole face looked like it was washed with blood.
Lian Xing secretly had a relationship with Jiao Si. When he saw that he was about to be beaten to death, he quickly broke up the fight and said, "Eunuch, please calm down, Eunuch An. Be careful with your tired hands. Don't tire yourself... Sit down quickly. Someone comes to change the tea..."
Andehai was indeed tired from playing. He panted heavily and sat down on the chair. He pointed at Jiao Si with a trembling hand, "Uncle Lian, take a look. This old guy is really annoying. He doesn't even take the imperial court seriously..."
"I'm confused. How come everyone changes as soon as they get in touch with Xiao Letian? A servant of the Fucha family for several generations has forgotten the favor of the imperial court. He talks nonsense to me..."
Jiao Si'er is now determined. He lay on the ground and cried bitterly, "Slave... I thank my father-in-law for the reward... but I really don't see any problem... wuwuwu."
"I am just a housekeeper. The first update seems to be the Sifangtian in the compound. In total, I have only seen Xiao Letian for more than a month. I went there to find out information. Even Uncle and An Father-in-law... Even if Xiao Letian raises a private army, there is no way he would let me know..."
"As for foreigners, sea ships and the like, that would be even more difficult for me. I don't know foreign languages. Secondly, I don't have sea ships. I don't know about things on the sea either..."
Jiao Si cried and defended himself. Not to mention that what he said actually made sense. But Andehai and the others don't want reason. What they want is to discredit Xiao Letian's confession. At first glance, Jiao Si decided not to cooperate. Eunuch An was happy instead.
"Haha. Okay, okay... You Jiao Si are really capable. I want to see what the Queen Mother's expression will be after hearing what you said." After saying that, he stood up and left. He didn't care at all about Manager Lian Xing's pleas.
Lian Xing and Jiao Si were the only two people left in the room. Lian Xing, the manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, sighed and pulled Jiao Si up, "Brother, something has happened to you. You really took Xiao Letian's money. Don't be confused. Xiao Letian's money is poisonous. If you take it, you can't do it." You will lose your life..."
"Is it possible? You have a shortcoming that Xiao Letian caught. What are you afraid of? With the support of the imperial court, Xiao Letian can't turn the world upside down..."
Even Xing's enlightening words were not on point. These elders in the capital could not have imagined how terrifying Xiao Letian was. They didn't even know how seriously Xiao Letian had penetrated the grassroots bureaucrats of the Qing Dynasty.
Jiao Si is different. The first update was that he had seen the relationship between Xiao Letian and foreigners. I have also seen sketches and photos of Xiao Letian when he conquered Ryukyu. He even vaguely guessed the relationship between colleagues Zhou Mingkui and Xiao Letian. After he discovered that even Jingdong Tongzhou had Xiao Letian's secret base. The old man has completely surrendered.
No matter how Lian Xing enlightens him. Jiao Si just gritted his teeth and said nothing. Finally, Director Lian Xing lost his patience and said, "Okay, okay. I can't help you with your attitude. Just go home and think about the past behind closed doors. There will be a decree for you later..."
Jiao Si was like a soulless zombie. Wandering the streets on a winter night. When he returned home in a daze and subconsciously. He found that all his family members were anxiously waiting for him at the concierge.
"Master, please update your face as soon as possible..." A group of people gathered around and helped Jiao Si back to the back house. But Jiao Si stood still as soon as he saw Tie Yaozi.
"Brother Wu... take the tiger head and leave. Leave the capital at night. Leave quickly. If it's too late, you won't be able to leave..."
Jiao Si left his stunned family behind and rushed into the inner house. After a while, he carried out the sleeping tiger's head. When the iron kite took the tiger's head and tied it on his back. The women cried.
"You wicked person. Where are you going to send your grandson? What kind of trouble are you trying to make when Hu Tou just came back? I will fight with you..."
At this time, Jiao Si showed off the majesty of the head of the family and shouted, "Shut up, everyone. I can still hurt Hutou. I am saving the child's life... Now all the cities in the Four-Nine City have been closed and curfewed. Except for Hutou, None of us can escape."
Jiao Si took out a large handful of banknotes from his arms and handed them to Tie Yaozi, "Brother Wu. This is some living expenses for the child in the future. Please be kind to me..." After saying that, he lay on the ground and kowtowed.
Tie Yaozi accepted three of his heads and then stepped aside, "I accept three of your heads. It means that I will treat Hutou well. Just feel free to go..." After saying that, he turned around and turned to the upper room. The toes tap lightly on the tiles. Disappeared like a gust of wind.
The two women collapsed on the ground, their eyes glazed over. "What's going on? Why did you send the tiger head away? Why did you say you were dead? How unlucky."
Jiao Si got up from the ground. He strode into the back house. He shouted loudly, "Come here for the reunion dinner. Today's meal is considered the New Year's Eve dinner. I want to drink to my heart's content..." The old man cried in the cold wind with his face covered in tears.
Although the Manchu and Qing courts were sometimes inefficient. But when encountering a traitor. Their response was very quick. When An Dehai added fuel to the fire and repeated Jiao Si's words to Ci Xi. The Queen Mother was furious. On the spot, he ordered the Red Sect protector to kill Jiao Simanmen.
Cixi was really angry. I can't care about Xiao Letian and those other candidates. Can't you even control a domestic slave? I really need to kill him as a warning to others. Otherwise, who can value the imperial power?
In the dark, more than fifty secret guards of the Forbidden City rushed out. In a short time, Jiao Si's home was surrounded. But what I never expected was. What greeted them was the open door and maids and boys running around.
"Damn it. This old dog Jiao Si'er took his whole family and committed suicide by taking poison." The leading guard rushed into the back house and opened the door to take a look. Jiao Si and his wife. There were four other people, including my son and daughter-in-law, who were frothing at the mouth and leaning on the backs of their chairs, unable to die any longer.
"Sir. What should I do?"
"What else can we do? Conquer the house...interrogate the servants."
Ten servants who did not escape were gathered together. Everything was quickly explained. It turned out that after the tiger head was sent away. Jiao Si gathered the family of four in the room. And no servants are allowed to come near. No one thought that the master was going to poison the whole family.
The guards were furious. Failure to kill Jiao Si's family with his own hands meant that the task was not completed satisfactorily. Since it is not perfect, then take the initiative to become more perfect.
The leading guard's eyes flashed. Several of the subordinates did not hesitate at all and drew out their knives to chop at the servants. There was a cry under the knife.
"Kill them all. Grab them all...men, your efforts can't be in vain." The whole Jiao family was in chaos and almost set off a fire.
That's when. On the roof not far away. Tie Yaozi covered the tiger's head and hugged him while looking at the smashed home in the distance. The little tiger whined in his throat. Tears flowed. Young children simply cannot bear the tragic situation of their families being destroyed.
"Hutou. Don't cry. Don't make a sound. Those bad guys are looking for you everywhere. They must want to kill you. You must don't make a sound..." Tie Yaozi gently let go of his hand.
Hu Tou whispered in fear, "Uncle Wu. Who are they? Why do they want to kill my parents... Why do they want to kill my grandparents..."
Tie Yaozi pointed at the dark turrets of the Forbidden City in the distance. He said fiercely, "Kid, remember this. The murderer lives there. One day we will take revenge."
The deaths of Jiao Si and General Ding. It completely ended the court's hope of getting evidence. Now all the witnesses who can prove Xiao Letian's rebellion have been detained in Tanggu. Life or death only depends on Xiao Letian's thoughts.
According to past practice. If the court wants to deal with people like Xiao Letian, it can use trumped-up charges. It doesn't matter even if you get some perjury. But when Xiao Letian's Seven Questions came out. It would be difficult for the imperial court to take action.
The next few days. Urgent documents from all over Zhili flew to the court like snowflakes. Xiao Letian’s propaganda campaign shows no signs of abating. On the contrary, it is becoming more and more serious and even spreading to Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other places.
This is a propaganda war without smoke. This is a viral hit that should never have happened. Xiao Letian's Seven Questions really attracted everyone's attention in the closed society of the late Qing Dynasty.
There is no one who doesn’t like a legendary story. People's boring spare time needs some exciting news to embellish it. Xiao Letian's seven questions have caught the public's attention.
"My mother. The imperial court assassinated Xiao Letian. She even poisoned her daughter-in-law. She is already dead. Everyone, come and see."
"Foreigners have landed in Tanggu again. They have blocked the streets. Is there still going to be a war?"
"What happened? Why can't two thousand Green Camp soldiers defeat even two hundred guards? Why are we raising them..."
Countless questions echoed in the land of the late Qing Dynasty. People's hearts are as messy as grass. Even food prices have increased by 10%. This time the court could no longer sit still.
"How did Xiao Letian do it? How did he have such a terrifying printing ability? How much money does he have? Is there any end to this?" Everyone in the court in the Forbidden City raised their own questions.
They don't know. More terrifying things are yet to come.
