Exiting Xihua Gate is Jinshui Bridge. After passing Jinshui Bridge and walking forward, you will reach Xiyuan Gate. This is the only way to Haiyan Hall! The ministers would not go that way if nothing happened, so they could only go south along the riverside road and towards Chang'an Street.
Here are the warehouses and duty rooms of various departments in the palace, as well as some duty barracks of the imperial guards. There are no ordinary people living there, but they are also shabby places.
The commotion happened after crossing the Jinshui Bridge, near the warehouse of the Construction Department. Several censors were furious and cursing, while a group of eunuchs and soldiers watched the excitement from a distance.
As soon as Mr. Qing realized that something was wrong, he quickly took the opportunity to get rid of Weng Tong and "Oh, there's a quarrel. I'll go take a look, I'll go take a look..."
Not talking nonsense to Weng Tonghe, he walked across the Jinshui Bridge. The old man was choked and couldn't breathe, so he stamped his feet and followed him quickly.
After the two of them crossed the bridge, Weng Tonghe exclaimed, "Feng Fu? You..." Before he could finish his words, a stench hit his face.
Standing on the street, he was stunned. It was Hanlin Feng Fu who was so arrogant just now. He was covered with pickled swill, various soaked vegetables, leaves, pig rinds and other vegetable soups. He didn't know it. It has been soaked for several days and has a sour smell.
Got splashed all over my head and face!
"Who did this? Lawless, lawless!" Weng Tonghe was furious.
"Master Weng, it was just poured out from the wall of the Construction Department. Someone deliberately framed Mr. Feng! How shameless!"
It turned out that just after Feng Fu and Fu Qing quarreled, he crossed the river angrily and waited for the master and Fu Qing to finish talking so that they could leave the imperial city together.
Just as a few people were discussing, suddenly something went dark over their heads, and a bucket of rancid swill was poured down. Feng Fu stood in the middle of the crowd, so naturally he was the most unlucky.
The group of censors immediately started to make a noise, and in a bad temper they went to smash the door of the construction department, but suddenly found that the door was locked outside and could not be opened at all.
A veteran said at the side, "This is the warehouse where the construction department keeps a lot of stuff. It's not open even one or two days a month, and there's no one here today!"
"No one? Where did this slop come from? Break the door open and pry it open!"
The censor saw that Weng Tonghe was even more arrogant here. Someone was making a noise and was about to break in and arrest the person. At this time, Weng Tonghe suppressed his nausea and shouted, "Are you crazy? The Construction Department is a yamen under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. , is the royal property, you dare to attack the royal treasury?"
"It's lawless. Is it okay to break down the door? Take my post to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to catch the murderer!"
Feng Fu even cried, "Uuuuuuuuuuah... Master, by the time the Ministry of Internal Affairs comes, the thieves will have already escaped!"
"That's what we have to do! This is the law, this is the rule..." At this point, Weng Tonghe turned to look at Fu Qing fiercely, "Third Master... you couldn't have done this, right?"
"Huh? What Master Weng said is so inappropriate. I, Fu Qing, will never use this method again! Besides, I haven't left your sight since I left the palace. Look at how I arrange people. Doing such a dirty thing?"
"Haha... you should think about who Lord Feng has offended!" Fu Qing walked away after saying this.
Weng Tonghe looked at the wall of the warehouse. He knew very well that the people inside had escaped long ago, and such a warning of evil was very strong, and it was a typical demonstration!
The fact that he could enter the royal treasury at will and do such shameless things blatantly showed that this person had a close relationship with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which meant that he was probably a member of the Eight Banners system.
Feng Fu was definitely going to suffer this loss. The circle of suspicion was locked and locked again, and it was only those few people. Feng Fu had just opposed those people's plan to make a fortune at the meeting. They were so angry that they came to retaliate!
Using such despicable and disgusting methods, with the skills of a local ruffian and a scoundrel, he has the style of an Eight Banners dude!
They are not afraid of exposure at all, because some of them are slaves who take the blame for them. You can't do anything about the person who actually gave the order standing in front of you. Firstly, there is no evidence, and secondly, you can't deal with them even if there is evidence!
They are all royal nobles. Let alone splashing swill on you, even if you are beaten, according to the master-slave system of the imperial court, you have to endure it!
What will happen if the emperor finds out? But even if he is forced to apologize and maybe be fined a little, this kind of conflict won't lead to a beheading and imprisonment, right?
And once the emperor is alerted, this deadly feud will be forged!
"Let's go! Leave the palace and go home..." Weng Tonghe made up his mind and led Feng Fu and his group to leave here quickly.
Weng Tonghe's guess was not wrong at all. After they left, the villain Prince Zheng jumped out of nowhere.
"Haha... blocking this king's way of making money? This is a lesson to you. Long Live the Lord has agreed to issue two stocks, Qingyang Ocean and Beijing-Hankow Railway. Are you against it? Are you the one who doesn't care?"
"One million insider shares, I will make double and triple profits as soon as I resell them. How many millions of dollars are you going to lose as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip?"
"Oh my God, your objection was unsuccessful. If your objection was successful, I would not just throw swill on you. I would pour kerosene on you and burn you to death!"
"Let's go...go back home!"
Prince Zheng was behind the scenes, and it seemed that this case would never be solved. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs received Weng Tonghe's film in the next few days, he said that he would be investigated strictly, but who has the patience to deal with such a thing.
They just went through the motions and closed the case without any clues. This group of innocent people had no choice but to suffer the loss of being dumb.
The year 1874 is coming to an end. In the capital of Ryukyu, lanterns and festoons have been put up to celebrate the New Year. Tens of thousands of red palace lanterns have been hung up. All kinds of bright tropical flowers have been transplanted in the capital, many of which are A rare breed that no one has ever seen.
In the new territories of the Chinese, Borneo, Annan, Luzon... those tropical rainforests, there are many rare birds and animals. In order to celebrate the New Year this time, the troops stationed in various colonial areas and countless departments are preparing gifts.
It's not that valuable, but it's so rare!
Rare orchids dug from the tropical rainforest, beautiful white long-tailed monkeys, elephants, Bengal tigers, crocodiles, gibbons brought to the Naha Zoo... This place has become Asia's largest animal and plant paradise.
Good news came one after another. When the information from the capital came one by one, and when Xiao Letian heard that Zai Chun was going to restore the Old Summer Palace, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Haha! I'm still a child... The greatness of the Old Summer Palace is complex, and it can't be covered by just a few buildings!"
"Pass my order, my museum will be temporarily open during the New Year, with 10,000 visitors every day!"
"Let the people see the treasures I brought back from Europe... I still have to protect this Chinese treasure!"
