Fu Qing worriedly entered Guangqumen and headed towards the Forbidden City. Along the way, he saw a huge crowd of people rushing in one direction.
"What happened? What do you want to do?"
"Sir, these people are all rushing to Caishikou. I don't know why it was reported everywhere in the capital this morning that Caishikou is going to be beheaded. They are all here to watch the fun!"
"Huh? What a fool... How long has it been, and you are still watching the fun? Do you know what criminal you are killing?"
"I heard that a group of elite members of the Eight Banners were going to be beheaded, and the people were going crazy. It is rare to behead a bannerman, but today it is said that more than one will be beheaded..."
"Ah? Hurry up and go... Hurry up and see His Majesty!"
The common people love to watch excitement, and beheading is the biggest excitement in the world, let alone the head of a banner man. Even if you are hungry, you still have to watch this!
Fu Qing's sedan was blocked by a crowded crowd on the street. Although the soldiers tried hard to separate the crowd, the people were afraid of the officials and did not dare to get too close, but there were too many people and the sedan could not move!
This little time wasted, which made Fu Qing regret it, because no one at the Gate of Supreme Harmony could persuade the little emperor at this moment!
If this man deserves to die, even the gods cannot save him!
Originally, Zai Chun was going to go on a killing spree. Fortunately, Li Tuo followed King Dun to persuade His Majesty before dawn in the morning, and Emperor Tongzhi gave up the idea of killing people. The families of the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division still have these days. The craftsmen who came to check it out have escaped from the gate of hell.
But who would have thought that only seven hours later, Emperor Tongzhi would change his mind!
It was too fast, too fast for anyone to react. Li Tuo was currently at the Yongding River defense line south of the capital city, supervising the progress of the construction. King Dun took an airship to inspect the south bank of the Yongding River and went deep into the rebel hinterland.
And Fu Qing has been on the road all morning, and there are no important ministers around the little emperor who can persuade him or persuade him!
What are left of Baojun, Yinggui, Weng Tonghe, Li Hongzao... these six ministers and military ministers can only be regarded as the second most trusted echelon of Emperor Tongzhi.
And these people are more or less wise to protect themselves. Faced with the power of the little emperor, they don't dare to stand up like Fu Qing and others.
It was eleven o'clock at the moment, and the little emperor was circling angrily in the Gate of Supreme Harmony. Baojun and Yinggui were kneeling in the hall, lowering their heads and listening to the little emperor's reprimand!
"A bunch of bastards... The ancestors of the Fucha family are loyal and loyal. Back then, even Fukang'an went to Nepal to promote the country's prestige to the Qing Dynasty!"
"And how has the imperial court ever treated the Fucha family poorly? Actually, even the Fucha family has rebelled, and even they have defected to the Japs? More than two hundred kilograms of explosives...are they going to smash me to pieces?"
"Your Majesty, calm down... I await the death penalty..."
Yinggui and Baojun hurriedly kowtowed, but they still wanted to persuade "Your Majesty to calm down... Fu Yuchuan deserves to die, even if he is cut into pieces with a thousand cuts, his sins will not be erased, but the Fucha family is still loyal..."
"Since ancient times, trees have big branches, and even in the largest woods, there are still a few withered and dead trees... Your Majesty must not get angry over this matter, and must not kill people recklessly!"
"Am I reckless? In the past few days, there are hundreds of people caught under curfew every night. With so much rebellion, you want me not to be reckless? If I don't be reckless, I'm afraid I will die in this Jinluan Palace!"
"Decapitate...decapitate...kill them all. Don't leave any of these conclusive evidences behind. Do it immediately!" Zai Chun was furious.
Why did Zaichun change so much in half a day? It was because of the good citizen certificate from the capital. The curfew system was becoming more and more strict. The good citizen certificate had to be distributed to everyone, and many people had to vouch for it.
This forces many of Guiziliu's agents to act in advance. Even if some people don't want to act and want to lie dormant, many clues will be exposed under the pressure of the Lianzu system.
The reason why Fu Yuchuan was exposed was because when filling in the form of guarantor, one of his nephews actually refused to guarantee. The uncle and nephew had an argument, which happened to be heard by the newly elected mayor.
Many dangerous clues were exposed during the uncle-nephew quarrel. After the new army got the clues, they directly raided Fu Yuchuan's home. A rigorous search indeed found contraband.
The explosives were discovered. This was a big deal. Emperor Tongzhi was furious! This is not just an ordinary pistol, blunderbuss, sword, etc., this is Nobel Company's high explosive that can blow down the city wall.
Moreover, this was found from the house of Fu Cha, whom the imperial court had always trusted. Zai Chun's heart dropped!
In fact, among the big names in the capital, there have always been those who had a close relationship with the Japanese, but what happened today was so big that it was a blatant attempt to match the inside and the outside.
This is just the appearance. There is another thing that Baojun and Yinggui don't know. The police headquarters of the King of Yu, the torture of Ronglu's family, and the latest details of the imprisonment of a group of people who were related to Ronglu.
Just after nine o'clock in the morning, I suddenly got a new piece of information. It turned out that Ronglu had always had secret contacts with his family in the capital, and the latest instruction was to ask his family to be prepared at any time, focusing on several members of the imperial court. There are also movements in the palace and treasury.
After being tortured and forced to confess, these people told the truth. It turned out that Ronglu actually sold a stone archway to King Luo Huo on the battlefield and made a profit of 95,000 silver.
This business went so smoothly, it was a complete sale of every copy!
Ronglu has already set his sights on those fat men in the capital. Once the city is breached, he will take action in advance, grab everything he can, and secretly sell it to the Chinese!
This was the scariest thing for Zai Chun. He didn't expect that Luo Huo actually had a secret deal with the rebels. Even Luo Huo, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, secretly smuggled antiques and cultural relics. This shows how weak the feelings of the Chinese towards the imperial court are. !
An antique stone carving can be sold today, and Zai Chun's head can be sold tomorrow. A feeling of fear that is close to despair has enveloped Zai Chun's heart, and no one who can give him a sense of security is around at this moment!
When a person does not feel safe, his behavior is uncontrollable and very dangerous!
"Kill! Don't try to persuade anyone... Not killing is not enough to deter Xiao Xiao. If not, will I have to wait for death?"
"Your Majesty... please wait for a while before making a decision. Wait until King Dun and Master Fu Qing come back... Why don't you discuss it with the Queen Mother?"
"If the head falls off, it won't stick to it! Killing so many family members will force the rebels to go all the way to the dark side!"
"Haha... They have gone all the way! Are they bullying me when I am young? Are they coveting the position of a high-ranking official given by the Japanese?"
"Anyone of you who dares to persuade us will be treated as a partisan of the rebels!"
When Baojun and Yinggui heard this, their legs trembled with fright, their heads were pressed to the ground and they didn't dare to make a sound anymore!
