Li Lianying was a clay-legged pole who came from the countryside, but now that he had been influenced by Sijiucheng and the Imperial Palace, he turned around and looked down on clay-legged poles more and more.
In Li Lianying's eyes, these poor lives were all brought upon by herself. She had not cultivated herself well in her previous life and was reborn into a lowly family, but she did not work hard.
These people are full of greed and cleverness. They think they are powerful, but in the eyes of knowledgeable and experienced people, these people are actually fools.
They are timid and fearful and always want to take advantage. They are not willing to take any risks and always want to get some profits. They have no gambling temperament and are unwilling to take risks. According to the new saying in the Chinese Ryukyu community, they are 'death or death'. Refuse to come out of your comfort zone! '
Do you want them to leave their hometowns to work in Tanggu Special Administrative Region? He dared not live or die, unless the machines there were driven by imps, or the factories were driven by people's souls.
How about you let him study hard and take the imperial examination? He would rather cut firewood and hold grass and suffer this hardship than suffer the hardship of studying!
If there was an opportunity given to him by a noble person to promote him, he would choose it wisely and refuse to do it if it was risky or immoral. He actually developed a sense of moral superiority.
Li Lianying got angry when she looked at Isiha. This was a great opportunity to change her destiny. It was something that no one else could ask for. You rushed to seize it without asking, and you wanted to find out what it was about in advance!
Damn it, this is a despicable fate born from birth, a despicable fate that cannot be reversed in three lifetimes!
If I drag you to rebel, do you dare to ask in advance? I don’t know how big the risk is, and how big the return will be.
You haven't expressed your loyalty, you haven't proven that you are determined to be loyal, even if you kill people and set fires, you will definitely be loyal... You haven't shown any sincerity, so you want to ask for secrets first?
Damn it, if you heard that we were going to rebel, would you still want to jump out of the car and report us?
Li Lianying shook her head regretfully, "Forget it, this man can't be saved... He has no destiny to get rich from the bottom of his heart. His ancestors for eighteen generations have had a miserable life!"
"From now on, for people like you who only know how to take advantage and are not willing to take risks, why don't you explain it to me? It's a waste of my time..."
"Kick him out, tell him to get lost... From now on, he will be fired from the guards. As long as I am here, there will be no job for him in these four-nine cities... Grandma's!"
Before the housekeepers outside could take action, there was a muffled bang, and Isiha punched the Eight Immortals table, causing the cups and plates to mess and clank.
"You... don't look down on others! Who said I don't dare to do it anymore!" Isiha's face became ferocious, and his flesh was jumping around!
"I will commit murder and arson! I will admit it if you raise your head to rebel! I can't live with this miserable poverty anymore!"
"Tell me who you want me to kill... As long as I die and my mother and sister can live a good life, I will sell my life to you!"
Such a simple and honest Isiha student drove these two people crazy. Li Tuo laughed loudly and picked up the cup, "Drink a cup first... Since you are willing to risk your life, what else can you say? Let's talk about it later." Let’s go!”
"Don't worry, we won't let you die... We are here to let you enjoy the happiness!"
Time passed by minute by minute, and at 10:30 in the evening, Li Lianying's sedan left Nancheng Residence and walked towards the Forbidden City.
In fact, both the Ming and Qing Dynasties had a very strict curfew system, especially in the Qing Dynasty. The curfew system was even stricter. The evening drums were beaten at three o'clock. Hearing the drums reminded the people to go home quickly.
People can't go out for activities until the morning bell rings at the fifth watch of the day!
If the ban is violated, if it is the first watch or the fifth watch, it is understandable that sometimes the ban is violated due to lack of time. According to the rules, the punishment is 30 lashes, which is thirty lashes.
But if you appear on the street during the second, third or fourth watch, you will be whipped 50 times.
Of course, this system does not restrict illness, childbirth, death or funeral... If there are special circumstances in the family, special treatment will be given.
But in the late Qing Dynasty, the curfew system was not very strict. First of all, the penalty of whipping could be replaced by a fine. The amount of fine was basically the right of the officials, and it was up to their mouths.
I can fine you a bunch of small coins, or I can fine you three taels of silver, it all depends on your connections!
The curfew system has always been formulated for ordinary people, and high-level officials are naturally not subject to such restrictions. Li Lianying was still walking in the city after ten o'clock in the middle of the night. The gate guards everywhere saw that they were Manager Li's team. , all given the green light.
When it came to the Forbidden City, it was Li Lianying's one-third of an acre. Although the curfew system in the Forbidden City was stricter than that in the Nine Cities outside, this system could not stop the Military Aircraft Department and the eunuch in charge.
The Military Aircraft Department is on duty 24 hours a day, and all important military matters in the empire cannot be delayed for a moment. Li Tuo's waist card has the right to enter the Forbidden City at any time.
Of course, Li Lianying's waist card has more such rights. The eunuch in charge has to deliver orders and messages to the Queen Mother when she leaves the palace. She even supervises the work of the eunuchs who deliver water trucks and buckets. They also have to do busy work inside and outside the palace!
The group quietly entered the Forbidden City through the Right Gate in the Meridian Gate, but did not cross the Jinshui Bridge but took a shortcut.
Li Lianying waved her hand, and a group of people turned in from Xihe Gate, walked across the Hongqiao Bridge, and then headed north through Shiba Sophora Tree.
In this way, the buildings of the three main halls can be bypassed, and physical discussions can be reduced, allowing fewer guards and guards to see. This is a rule that Li Lianying and other eunuch supervisors are well aware of.
Past the ghostly eighteen locust trees is the huge courtyard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Just past the high wall and continue north past Long Zongmen, you will not be far from Cining Palace.
The further you go into the harem, the more the eunuchs have their sphere of influence. Between the Yangxin Hall and the Sixth West Palace of the harem, there is a small palace gate that finally enters the inner palace, called Qixiang Gate.
This gate faces east and west. Four guards are on duty every night on the west side, while on the east side is the harem, which is not allowed for men except the emperor.
"Everyone stop..." Li Lianying whispered, "This is the last gate. Entering Qixiang Gate means you have entered the inner palace. Yisiha... aren't you peeking into the inner palace? Today I will take you in personally to take a look. , look at the scenery in this inner palace..."
At this moment, Isiha's legs were shaking like chaff and he couldn't speak. His two dental crowns were fighting desperately. At this moment, he already knew what his mission was. This huge gamble was not something that an honest guard like him could afford. of.
When Li Tuo saw that this guy was about to give up, he quickly squeezed his arm and said, "Stop talking nonsense. It's already like this. If you step back, you will definitely die... If you push forward, you may still have a 30% to 40% chance of survival!"
"There is no choice. I have already said it, you have no choice!"
The gloomy Forbidden City was completely silent, with a little light shining in the distance. The young eunuch had already helped Li Lianying to stand in front of him. Isiha watched the figures swaying thirty or forty meters in front, as if there were still people looking this way.
Li Lianying winked, and two middle-aged eunuchs quickly brought over a huge carpet and spread it on the long street. "Isiha... lie down on it!"
The location they were in at the moment was very convenient. There were high walls on the left and right, and the street in the middle was only about five meters wide. The shadow of the high wall blocked the moonlight and the cold northwest wind.
Behind the high wall on the west are the three halls in Cining Palace! It is commonly known as the Widow's House by eunuchs, where the old concubines of the previous dynasties spent their old age.
Behind the high wall on the east side is the Yangxin Hall. To be more precise, it is the Yanxi Hall and Xiweifang area of the Yangxin Hall.
In the core area of the Forbidden City, the pressure of the imperial power is undoubtedly revealed here. Isiha really retreated!
But at this moment, he couldn't help it anymore. A biting cold wind blew over. Li Lianying said with a cruel smile, "It's such a cold day... Why are you standing here? Get under the blanket and warm yourself up!"
"Isiha, if you want the life of your mother and sister... don't make a single sound in the carpet!"
