"Nonsense! Nonsense! It's so bold! Who gave this order? Who told Xin Jian to do this?"
In the early morning at the Head of State's Mansion, Xiao Letian had just returned to the office area from the back house. As soon as he entered the study, he encountered such heart-warming news. More than a dozen senior officials, including the Four Heavenly Kings, Xiang Ying, Cai Bixia, etc., had arrived.
On the table is the telegram from Chun Shisanniang!
Xiao Letian was stunned after entering the room, "You... why did you gather here so early? Have you had breakfast? No... That Xiang Ying, go and ask the kitchen to prepare more..."
Xiang Ying didn't move, but said awkwardly, "The head of state...the telegram from Beijing City, the telegram from Thirteenth Niang...you'd better read it first!"
Xiao Letian felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. He opened the folded telegram and read it ten lines at a time. After reading it, he was blown away!
"Whose handiwork? Who did it? Who gave this order? Bastard... nonsense!"
The telegram was slapped to the ground. Xiao Leqiang's eyebrows stood up. He wandered around in the study irritably, pointing at the top Chinese officials.
"Wang Huaiyuan...is that you?"
"Xiang Ying...why don't you speak?"
"Luo Huo, Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun...are they mute?"
"Cai Bixia...this happened just after you left the capital. Does this have anything to do with you?"
Everyone questioned, everyone shook their heads, and everyone denied that they had given the order!
After all, Xiao Letian is the head of a country, and his ability to restrain himself is very strong. He quickly calmed down and waved his hand, "Xiang Ying... go and tell me not to bring food to me, and not to disturb anyone..." "
Xiao Letian frowned and looked at the sea in the distance by the window. He took a deep breath to suppress his emotions. It took him a long time to say, "What did I say before? Wang Huaiyuan, please repeat it!"
"Yes!" Director Wang stood at attention and said respectfully: "The Capital Mutual Aid Association that Xin Jian is responsible for does not undertake any tasks of the CIA. It is only used to connect ordinary workers' feelings..."
"In ten years, the Mutual Aid Association will develop 10,000 workers with basic education in the Jingshi Industrial Zone, so that they can have new ideas and be emotionally close to our Chinese ideals..."
"This is the only mission of the mutual aid association..."
"Haha... you memorized it word for word, but how did the situation turn into this now? It's really unexpected. How about a complaint? One person singled out the tenth general manager and declared war on the entire Eight Banners Prince System?"
"Awesome! So awesome! Now tell me, is this Xin Jian so courageous?"
Wang Huaiyuan smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that Xin Jian is so courageous... We assured the head of state that no one really gave orders for this matter. Chun Shisanniang knew that the matter was serious. Last night the Northern Bureau started After a strict internal investigation, no one was found to have given any orders!"
"There wasn't even any interference. Otherwise, how could the Northern Bureau be caught off guard?"
"I request to board the ship to the capital immediately, and I will investigate for myself..."
Xiao Letian waved his hand, "We can't go! The most nervous person at the moment is not us, but the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Zai Chun and the Manchu and Qing nobles and ministers may think that many people think this is a conspiracy of our Chinese family!"
"If any one of us appears in Beijing, it will make him even more nervous..."
Xiao Letian smiled bitterly and sighed, "I believe you won't lie to me. This matter is most likely a misunderstanding... Let's wait for the follow-up information from Chun Shisanniang..."
"Cai Bixia, tell me the specific situation of the iron factory before you left the capital!"
"Yes..." Cai Bixia began to introduce to everyone a series of dark things that happened at the Jingshi Iron Factory and the railway construction site.
The locals recruit young men, the palace nobles exploit the workers, the underworld entangles the white ones, sets up pornography, gambling and drugs to squeeze the people's property!
Corruption was rampant in the construction site, and even the simplest earthwork was corrupted. The excavation volume was obviously calculated to be 30,000 cubic meters, but the court accountants could make it 90,000 cubic meters.
The extra earthwork and the cost were shared among many people privately!
Everyone present was dumbfounded. They all knew that the Qing Dynasty was dark, but no one expected it to be so dark. Luo Huo cursed in a low voice, "Damn... I believe in such a thing as a strong man, but how could they put the three men together?" How do you calculate ten thousand square meters of earth into ninety thousand square meters? This is a mountain!"
Cai Bixia sneered and said, "Those bastards from the Ministry of Industry have many ways to deceive the emperor...Corruption in the Qing Dynasty has become a systemic disease. They have a group of people working together to deceive the emperor!"
"Because it's impossible for Zai Chun to measure the earth in person. Thirty thousand and ninety thousand have no concept at all to him!"
"There is also the consumption of the railway. How much money can they steal from sleepers alone? Loss, they can report the loss..."
Cai Bixia took out a notebook from his pocket, "Last July, a total of 12,000 sleepers were burned in the south warehouse of Yangcun!"
"At that time, the imperial court was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Finally, it was discovered that the cause was caused by two clerks guarding the warehouse secretly smoking cigarettes at night and setting the fire on fire!"
"In the end, the two clerks guarding the warehouse were beheaded in public!"
"But Thirteenth Niang's investigation is not like this! In fact, before the fire, a large number of sleepers in the warehouse had been moved away, and there were more than 3,000 sleepers in there just for show..."
"Those two minor officials were scapegoats and had two miserable lives. Officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs stole 10,000 sleepers, went back to find a timber merchant to transfer the accounts, and then sold them to the court!"
"With just this one sum, they can divide up a hundred thousand yuan! There are so many things like this that the Northern Bureau's archives room can't even accommodate them..."
While talking, there was a knock on the study door, and the people in the telegraph room sent the latest information. One after another, Chun Shisanniang's latest investigation reports flew over like snowflakes.
After reading the follow-up report, Xiao Letian sighed, "Damn...it took me a long time, but it was really a misunderstanding that shouldn't have happened! It was all accidental, but it became inevitable that they collided in the end!"
Xiao Letian is such a smart person. When the amount of information is enough, he will understand all the causes and consequences of this conflict!
In fact, there is no shady story in the whole thing, and there is no culprit behind the scenes. It is completely derived from the situation!
After careful analysis of the various forces, no faction has any motive for such a conspiracy!
Would the Chinese do such a thing? Xiao Letian definitely wouldn't, because this is the honeymoon period between the Chinese and the Manchus. So many fortresses in the Qing Dynasty have not yet been completed. Xiao Letian actually needs more time for peace than the Manchus!
