"What? Salonga stole the fake heavenly gold seal? Are we going to ransack the house? Oh my god! Is Salonga so poor?"
Guard Yisiha followed Li Tuo and walked quickly outside the palace, listening to Li Tuo's introduction to the case. At this time, the more than ten officials and eunuchs who were jointly handling the case knew what happened.
It turns out that the golden seal of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, which was kept in the Han Zhangjing Room of the Military Aircraft Department... was lost!
In 1864, the year when Xiao Letian was born, Ninth Marshal Zeng Guoquan led his troops to break through Nanjing City, and the vigorous Taiping Rebellion was completely sealed.
In the Tianwang Mansion, the soldiers captured a group of senior officials of the Tianwang Mansion who were trying to escape, and found the gold seal and jade seal used by Hong Xiuquan from one of the plainclothes officials.
This was a symbol of political power. The Zeng Guofan brothers immediately sent people to send the gold seal and jade seal to Beijing for the empress dowagers and the emperor to view.
Of course, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not recognize the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime. Beijing always called Hong Xiuquan's side the Pseudo Heavenly Kingdom regime. As an important evidence, this Pseudo Heavenly Kingdom gold seal was placed at the military aircraft and could be taken out at any time to officials from various places who came to Beijing. They wanted to take a look, and even prepared to summon the foreign envoys to watch it together.
However, the court was also excited for three minutes. Within two days of excitement, the prince and queen mother forgot about this incident. The little emperor was still young and did not know what it was and would not remember it in his heart.
As a result, this gold and silver was illegally stored in the military aircraft office for several years instead of being placed in the heavily guarded gold and silver warehouse!
Li Tuo is a staff member in Han Zhangjing's duty room. Of course he knows about the sleeping gold seal in the cabinet. The gold seal weighing twelve dozen is quite a burden!
It was such a piece of gold and silver that most people had almost forgotten about, but it was miraculously lost half a year ago!
The person who stole this golden seal was Manchu Zhangjing Salonga from the Military Aircraft Department of the Ministry of Justice!
This Lord Saronga is a well-known bad gambler and heavy smoker in the capital... The little property his ancestors had has turned him into an empty shell.
Although there is a large courtyard at home that is spacious and spacious, the inner pocket has been sold out long ago, and he has no choice but to sell his ancestral home if he has no money to spend.
Desperate, Mr. Sa decided to target the twelve golden seals. One morning when Zhang Jing of the Military Aircraft Department was changing his shift, Mr. Sa took advantage of Zhang Jing, a Han man, to get fried dough sticks and pancakes for breakfast. Go to Han Zhangjing's room, open the box and steal the gold seal.
Zhang Jingdu of the Military Aircraft Department has a special badge to enter the Forbidden City, and there are 16 Manchus and 16 Han people each. There is a fixed number, no more, no less.
These thirty-two people were very familiar with the guards in the Forbidden City. There was no routine inspection at all, and no one became suspicious of the bundle of clothes that Salonga was carrying.
Does anyone say that the guard system in the Forbidden City is so lax? Sigh... This is really true. People think that the Forbidden City has strict guards. That is all an illusion. Of course it is very strict for people who enter the palace for the first time.
As for Zhang Jing of the Military Aircraft Department, the guards on duty every day, the eunuch supervisors who can leave the palace freely... These people have to go back and forth several times a day, who has the leisure to check every day?
Besides, there are rules for Zhang Jing and others on duty. Because they have to sleep overnight, many people will bring a package or a lightweight rattan box or something.
Change your clothes and bring some side dishes from home... You can't always eat the flatbread and cold noodles provided by the military aircraft department, right?
As time goes by, it has become a common practice for these Zhang Jings to carry bags and boxes in and out of the Forbidden City!
Salonga was familiar just by his face, no one checked his gold seal of twelve taels of gold, and it was stolen just like that!
What a coincidence that it was Li Tuo's shift change that day. What a meticulous person Li Tuo was. The first job every day was to carefully check the important documents and valuables in the shift room.
Others ignored Hong Xiuquan's golden seal, but he had to check it every time he changed shifts!
When Li Tuo saw that the golden seal in the cage disappeared, he was furious at the time. Thanks to Li Tuo's good popularity, it brought a lot of benefits to the young eunuch and the guards.
Even the little eunuch who delivers breakfast to the military aircraft department gets one or two small coins from Li Tuo as drink money every now and then!
Li Tuo called several eunuchs on duty together, and after careful interrogation, they found out that Salonga had just sneaked into the house!
OK, OK... OK, OK... Li Tuo was so angry that he twisted his nose and said, "I don't care if you, Salonga, stole things. Anyway, you didn't steal my family's gold."
But why did you take advantage of my shift? Are you sincerely taking the blame for me?
Li Tuona is also a person with secret power, and he also knows many brothers on the Four-Nine City Road...Soon, Salonga's every move was monitored.
However, Li Tuo is a person who takes a long-term view to catch big fish. He hasn't figured out how to use this kind of leverage, so he has been monitoring and observing without taking any action.
In Li Tuo's mind, this matter may bring several unpredictable benefits in the future.
First of all, you have a handle on Salonga. In the future, you can blackmail him into doing things, or directly control him to become a subordinate and not dare to rebel.
Or under a certain opportunity, Salonga was sacrificed as a certificate of submission to a big shot!
Anyway, there are many kinds of effects. Which one you choose depends on how the situation will develop in the future... As a result, by chance, Prince Chun Yipei actually mentioned him in front of Cixi, saying that Li Tuo is a good guy and a capable person. .
When Cixi came and was interested, she met this little Zhang Jing, and Li Tuo followed suit and sent the secret as a letter of surrender.
Salonga was still on duty every day like a fool. Little did he know that he had been washed and skinned by Cixi and Li Tuo half a year ago, brushed, marinated with sauce, and was about to be cooked during the holidays.
How can the current situation block the crowds in Sijiu City? How do you stop these mouths with long tongues?
Rely on harsh punishments? Absolutely not. Cixi is not that stupid. The method she chose is the substitution method. Since people's nature of gossiping cannot be changed at all, I can only take the initiative to change the topic for you.
The Great Wall beacon fire incident is not fun, but the fun drama begins tonight!
Li Tuo and his party left the Xihua Gate. At this time, Prince Chun Yixuan, the admiral of the Nine Gates who had received the order in advance, had already sent 300 soldiers patrolling the city and dozens of government officials waiting outside the palace.
As soon as Li Tuo went out, the officials leading the team came up to him. Li Tuo still had his usual smile, but his face was as gloomy as water.
"Pass on the Queen Mother's decree... to seize the leader of the thieves who stole the counterfeit gold seal of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom... The military aircraft department is full of seals, Jing Salong'a!"
"One team went to Dongdan Archway and Dongguanyin Hutong...the alley was blocked and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will..."
"The second team...according to the list, go to several brothels that Salonga often goes to in Bada Hutong to search..."
"The third team... raided Yum, Tianjiu, Miliang Hutong... and other six gambling dens. All the gold lost by Salonga will be found..."
"The fourth team... searched Huashi Street, Ciqikou, Sanli River, Jinyu Pond... all the opium dens in the area, searched carefully, searched carefully..."
"Team 5... go to Wansheng Jewelry Shop in Dongsi Archway, seal the store and arrest all the shopkeepers and clerks..."
"The rest... follow me to Lord Salonga's house... to ransack the house!"
