Some people cry and others laugh. In the distant Forbidden City in the capital, the sky is filled with stars. Typhoons in the distant Pacific Ocean cannot affect this place!
Cicadas were screaming outside the window, the ice bucket in the corner of the palace was emitting curls of white smoke, and a trace of cold air filled the palace!
The ice bucket is covered with a layer of fresh apples. The fruity aroma overflows in the hall, and the sweet fruity aroma fills your breath!
In the Nuan Pavilion, the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and Li Lianying was sitting outside the couch, squeezing Ci Xi's feet and rubbing her legs. The two chatted casually.
"Lafayette, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway stock is really good. In just over a month, Lafayette has made a full one hundred thousand taels of silver. Even my slave, I got some luck and made thirty thousand! "
"Whenever Lafayette is free, I will report the accounts to Lafayette!"
Cixi didn't open her eyes, feeling the soreness and numbness in her soles and calves, and breathed out comfortably, "You're such a worthless thing, you only have such a small amount of money, how can you pay the Ai family for the debt?"
"Hey... the Ai family can't understand what Xiao Letian has done. It's just that the stock market is quite to the Ai family's liking!"
"Don't you think this is a cornucopia specially designed for us? Throw one tael of gold into it, and there will be ten taels when it comes out!"
"The stock market and the stock market are all hyped up every day. Good news or bad news drives prices up and down! But this news, isn't it us who have the final say!"
"That's right, Lafayette, you really saw through the essence of this at a glance! In the final analysis, the stock market is just us big shots using news to fool ordinary people out of their money!"
"Then the national policy isn't Lafayette's final decision? When will this railway be opened to traffic and when will it be inspected? That's a matter of just one sentence. Besides, we have a lot of money here, so naturally those fools with less money are the ones who play with it. !”
Cixi opened her narrowed eyes and said with a sneer, "Yang Zhi has given you a lot of benefits, right? Are you saying good things about the stock market?"
Li Lianying shrank her neck and said, "Oh, nothing can escape the eyes of Lafayette. You have seen through even this little cleverness of my slave!"
"To tell you the truth, Lafayette, our money is profitable, thanks to the operation of Yang Zhi and his men... Don't mention it, this guy is used to being a banker, and the price fluctuations are in his hands, and the band is It’s so easy to make money!”
Cixi closed her eyes again and suddenly said after a while, "I heard that a new batch of jadeite from Myanmar was imported into Rongbaozhai..."
"Ah! Lafayette, you are... my slave, go and prepare now. Prepare whatever you like..."
"Shit! Are you a fool?" Cixi suddenly got angry and roared, "What the hell are you preparing for! What can you buy with your little family property? How much advantage has his slave Yang Zhi taken of our Qing Dynasty? Do you think he fucked you for nothing? What about sitting cross-legged in the village?"
"He is not filial and still wants to make money by staring at you? You are spoiling him!"
Li Lianying knelt on the ground with a thud, "Lafayette is right, this slave is really a fool... This Yang Zhi has benefited so much from our Qing Dynasty, it's time to show some respect to Lafayette!"
"Look at Commander Zuo. He hasn't come back from the Western Regions yet. All the filial white jade has been sent to Beijing. He is a loyal minister! I'll go back and beat that bitch slave Yang Zhi!"
"Without the Qing Dynasty to protect him, he still wants to make money as a banker? Grandma..."
After scolding for a long time, Cixi finally calmed down. Li Lianying blinked her eyes, knowing that she must make Lafayette happy today, so as not to let her suffer later.
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly smiled and said, "Old Buddha, I have another good news that I am about to tell you!"
"The spies we placed next to Xiao Letian finally sent out the news..."
"Oh..." When Cixi heard this, she immediately opened her eyes and became interested. "What's the good news?"
"Haha... everything is under the control of Lafayette. Since getting involved with Amber, he has successfully poisoned twice and has not been discovered by Xiao Letian at all!"
"According to your arrangement, Lafayette, Xiao Letian will never have any more children in his life. Sooner or later, his Chinese family will be extinct!"
This is really good news. Cixi's face suddenly smiled like a flower, "Haha, you little monkey, you put this good news at the end!"
"It's not easy, it's not easy! The merits of these spies are great enough. We must remember to give their families more rewards and give them as many as they have for their idle positions!"
"Haha, the Qing Kingdom can't rely on men at all. If his love for the men of the Xinjieluo family had any use, the Qing Kingdom wouldn't have reached this point!"
"Starting from my father-in-law, every one of them is a waste. He cannot be suppressed internally and is a coward externally!"
"We still have to rely on our women to take charge of the family! That Xiao Letian has already become a leader, and he can't be defeated without a large army!"
"To deal with this kind of person, we have to dig deep! His forces are too chaotic now, and there are people from all factions. Of course he can control it, but as soon as he dies, this Chinese tribe will immediately break into chaos!"
"Unless he has a son, and he must be a smart and strong son, no one can stop this mess!"
"I cut off his bloodline and made him truly alone. Will the world not belong to us Manchus in the future? As long as the Ai family is given a chance, the Ai family has a way to extend the life of the Qing Dynasty for another hundred years!"
"Lafayette is a saint, Lafayette is a saint!" Li Lianying's horses were like a flood, and the Nuan Pavilion was suddenly filled with joy.
Cixi was the mastermind of the tragedy in Xiao Letian's house and the source of everything. Of course she had to laugh and celebrate fiercely. This meant that Yisiha was no longer around. If Erha was still there, she would definitely summon him in to take care of her. Give me some favor!
But she was not the only one who caused the tragedy in Xiao Letian's house. Of course, there were others who contributed to it, and these people were naturally laughing too, even more happily!
The typhoon in Naha turned into a continuous heavy rain in the second half of the night. Although the wind was light, it was still strong at level 5 or 6. The rain slapped on the roof and courtyard.
The dry landscape of a Japanese-style garden has long been soaked into a vast ocean by heavy rains!
On the tatami, the sliding door was open. Someone was lighting a lamp and looking at the power of heaven and earth outside. He didn't care about the rain that occasionally splashed in and hit him!
Two men, in front of them were a bunch of sake bottles and Japanese fish sashimi, which were basically untouched. They just drank all night!
Japanese gardens have a long corridor, with tiles sticking out, and rainwater flowing down along the grooves of the tiles!
A pitch-black alms bowl was at the end of the corridor, almost falling into the dry landscape courtyard. A column of water flowed down from the tiles and poured right into the pitch-black alms bowl.
Strange to say, there is a red goldfish in this alms bowl, swimming back and forth, but the water has already flowed out from the edge of the alms bowl, but the goldfish will never escape!
Suddenly, a flash of lightning lit up in the sky, followed by rolling thunder, and the goldfish jumped up from the bottom of the water as if it heard a trumpet.
He turned somersault in mid-air and got back into the water of the alms bowl. At that moment, the red goldfish suddenly dimmed in color.
