Yan Shizhang and Gangyi, they never expected Mao Yingzhang to have this trick, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

Mao Yingzhang said slowly: "The deed of house purchase and sale has vouchers; As for the IOU that Song Xiaosi gave me, after paying off the house price, I naturally returned it to him. Song Xiaosi arrived in Beijing in a few days, and as soon as the two of them asked, they would find out. ”

Buying and selling houses, about the same; "IOUs" Yunyun, Mao and Song, can be forged in collusion, what is the evidence?

knew that this 10,000 taels must be bribes, but now he can't refute him.

Not only can it not be said that he took bribes, but also, although these two silver tickets are from "Shun Rixiang", it cannot be said that Li Zongshou and Song Zunbang "embezzled public funds". Because, Li Zongshou also borrowed 26,000 taels from "Shun Rixiang", and this money was considered public funds if it was not good.

When the time comes, Song Zunbang can say that this is what Li Zongshou lent him; Or, a routine with Mao Yingzhang: This is what Li Zongshou "returned" to him, and he "returned" it to Mao Yingzhang.

Even if there are any disadvantages, it is a matter between Li Zongshou and Song Zunbang, and Mao Yingzhang can be pushed cleanly.

No wonder Sun Hongsheng, the shopkeeper of "Guangjiying", is so "smooth", and when he asked, he directly admitted Mao Yingzhang's matter, it turned out that people were blocking the road here.

The first time Sun Hongsheng was reported, he did not appear in the case, and it was probably not "absconding in fear of crime" -- but discussing with relevant people overnight how to deal with it.

Gangyi gritted his teeth secretly: Okay, I'll wait for Li Zongshou and Song Zunbang to come to Beijing to see if the two of them are really willing to use their entire net worth and lives to protect you!

While turning his ruthless thoughts, he and Yan Shizhang signaled to each other: Let's ask here today.

Yan Shizhang smiled "hehe" and said, "Okay." Wait for Li Dao and Song Fu to enter Beijing. Let's ask Qin Weng to move the jade again. ”

However. Li Zongshou and Song Zunbang entered Beijing, but there was a moth.

Anhui Governor Yamen reported that Li Zongshou was seriously ill and was not good at walking, and the grain road was now handled by others. "I implore the Criminal Department to send a competent cadre to Anqing for investigation and investigation", "and the situation of the officer, send him to Beijing, and the journey is tiring." Is it appropriate? ”

Song Zunbang, the prefect of Fengyang Prefecture, recently asked for leave to return to his hometown to sweep the tomb, and now he has not returned to Anhui, and the province has sent people to Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province to urge, Yunyun.

What's the situation?!

Calculating the date, Li Zongshou's "illness" and Song Zunbang's "tomb sweeping" were both before Wang Yongtai folded, not after, therefore. You can't say that they "evade investigation" or something. But is there really such a coincidence in the world?!

Response in the province. I can't fault anything with it.

The one who is "seriously ill" "implores the Criminal Department to send a competent cadre to Anqing for investigation and investigation...... And the situation of the person, sent to Beijing, the journey is tiring, is it appropriate? ”

The one who "returned home to sweep the grave" also sent someone to find it.

It's all the proper meaning of the question, "standard procedure".

Fortitude was greatly depressed.

Anqing is on the Yangtze River, far away from Beijing; Jiangxi is still in the south of Anhui, and Song Zunbang's hometown of Ganzhou is even more in the southwest of Jiangxi, which is further and further away from Beijing. This back and forth, delayed for a long time, I really don't know how long this case will drag on before it can be "revealed"?

had to send someone to Anqing to "inquire and take a closer look"; On the one hand, Anhui and Jiangxi were written, and the two provinces were strictly ordered to "quickly send Song Zunbang to the case".

Some people are depressed, while others are secretly relieved.

In any case, Li Zongshou and Song Zunbang are the key to this case, and if the two of them do not get into the case, the case will not be able to move forward substantively, so they have to be temporarily shelved.

The Anhui military expense reimbursement case has been put on hold for the time being, and the lively events are one after another, and "we can't stop it."

No, the "commander of the Sino-US Joint Fleet" Du Lide, "entered Beijing to be knighted" is here.

The main purpose is to warm up for the "Queen Mother's Parade", add fire, add firewood, publicize it, and create momentum.

The blonde and blue-eyed foreign high-ranking official, knighted and rewarded at the feet of the Son of Heaven, will cause an expected sensation. As mentioned earlier, this sensation, in the current China, whether it is for reformers or conservatives, can be regarded as touching the G-spot, and it can be regarded as an authentic "positive energy".

"Foreigners are knighted", and they can be "blessed" with the upcoming highlight "Queen Mother's Parade"; The combined effect of the two can play a role in further forcing conservative forces to be "immune" to foreign things, paving the way for more and more drastic reform measures to be implemented in the future.

In addition, the establishment of the "Sino-US Joint Fleet" will still be in place, and it will be maintained until the time when the US "delegation to China" returns home. As the "commander of the Sino-US Joint Fleet," the two giant ships of the Chinese Navy, the "King Umberto" and the "Durio" -- which have not yet been officially named, and are not called "Champion" and "Shooting Sound" -- are under the "dual leadership" of the Admiral of the Xuan Army and the commander of the Sino-US Joint Fleet, they can be regarded as still under Doolittle for the time being.

In this "Queen Mother's Parade", the navy part, these two giant ships are the protagonists of course, and a series of blockbuster dramas will be staged. From this level, the "Queen Mother's Parade", Du Yide also has to "run errands".

After Du Lide was knighted, in front of the Queen Mother of China, he had the status of "minister", and he could first "follow" the Queen Mother out of Beijing; Later, when he arrived in Tianjin, it was even more logical to command the Sino-US joint fleet and participate in the military parade. After all, the "King Umberto" and "Durio" are huge, but if only these two participated in the naval parade, it would be a little lonely. Guan Zhuofan's plan was to pull all the US ships anchored in Tianjin over and line up in order to strengthen the momentum.

As a first-class baron in China, Doolittle did this "big errand", which is not only justified, but also recorded in the annals of history, and it is also a good story.

Du Lide was accompanied by Ding Ruchang, the admiral of the Xuan Army and the Navy, into Beijing, and was amazed, excited, and curious along the way. When he was in Japan, Ding Ruchang didn't think Du Lide was talkative, but this trip, and later, he also felt that he was unable to deal with the many problems of General Du.

In fact, Admiral Ding was also entering Beijing for the first time, and many of General Du's questions were really not answered. Fortunately, there were staff members in the entourage, which barely satisfied General Du's curiosity.

The group entered Chongwenmen from the Lugou Bridge, and the tax collectors of Chongwenmen were vicious and famous in the world, but they had received strict orders in advance: not to embarrass Commander Du and Governor Ding.

After entering the city, Ding Ruchang entered the pilgrimage from a first-class official, and as usual, he had to go outside the palace gate to hand over the fold to ask for peace, which was a "designated action", which was not surprising; The strange thing is that Du Lide, a foreign devil who is like a fake, actually came to the palace gate with Ding Ruchang, and also handed over three copies of the "yellow fold" to ask for peace - one for the queen mother of the two palaces and one for the little emperor.

All of them follow the rules of Chinese officialdom.

This was not an impromptu idea, but a pre-arranged one, and it was also at the request of Doolittle himself. The words in the excerpt are also very in line with the rules, "The commander of the Sino-US Combined Fleet, Du Lide, respectfully invites St. Ann", Yunyun.

For this trip to Beijing, General Doolittle did his homework in advance.

The foreign devil handed him an excerpt, don't say it, I haven't heard of it. The eunuch of the inner recital office who received the fold had his mouth wide open, and it was easy to close it back.

The yellow box slipped into the Changchun Palace, and it happened that the Queen Mother of the two palaces was having dinner in one place, opening the fold, two women, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother couldn't help but "ouch" and the Queen Mother couldn't help but say "Oops", and the Queen Mother inevitably widened her eyes.

Not counting the naturalized classes of Wall, Forrest, and Bai Qiwen, the foreign devils are ministers and ask for peace, and they have to go back to the Holy Ancestor to Tang Ruowang and Nan Xiren, right?

With this thought, there is a sense that the prosperous era of Kangxi is about to reappear today!

The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces sighed very much, and she couldn't help but sigh at "his" achievements. If you think about it carefully, even Wall, Forrestal, and Bai Qiwen became naturalized, but in fact, it was not because of "him"?

A few words flashed through Cixi's mind: Is this considered a "work of reconstruction"?

Ci'an suddenly thought of something, and shouted softly: "Hey, after giving this foreign devil a knighthood, do we still have to meet him?" ”

Cixi said: "I don't know how the ritual notes of the Ministry of Rites are drafted? Ming'er military plane shouted and asked 'him'! However, according to the rules, after the minister was rewarded, he had to enter the palace to meet Shane. ”

Ci'an let out another "oops", patted his chest lightly, and said, "I have never seen a foreigner face to face in my life!" But it's kind of scary! ”

Cixi smiled slightly and said, "What is there to be afraid of? But it's also two eyes, a nose and a mouth. It's just that I've heard ......"

Speaking of this, he smiled again and stopped.

Ci'an was curious and said, "Just what? You say! ”

Cixi lowered her voice and said, "I heard that foreign devils have a smell like a fox, and they need to sprinkle more perfume on their bodies to cover up the past." ”

Ci'an made a fuss and said "ah", "Do men also spill perfume?" ”

Cixi said: "I heard that men and women are the same! ”

Ci'an smiled: "That's so unusual! ”

After a moment of thought, he said, "What do you mean by 'men and women are the same'?" There is also that fox ...... on the body of a foreign woman What does it taste like? ”

Cixi said: "That's a natural ......"

Ci'an sighed again and said, "The two foreign aunts and wives of 'his' ......"

The Queen Mother's face turned red and stopped talking.

On the other side, the face of the Queen Mother also turned slightly red.

For a moment, the two sisters had strange thoughts.
