Chapter 326: Disheartened
In the end, the little emperor didn't get mad, and he didn't pay attention to the old eunuch who was crying and mourning. He didn't say a word with a gloomy face www.biquge.info turned around and walked in the direction of the Old Summer Palace.
Ye Shaolong looked at his back, hesitated, and followed with the guards. The Old Summer Palace was robbed and burned, which he already knew in his previous life, and he didn't feel anything wrong when he learned the news.
Ye Shaolong knew that if the destruction of the Old Summer Palace was really counted, he was the culprit. If he hadn't forced the foreigners to be in a hurry, the Old Summer Palace would not have been destroyed.
But then again, this Old Summer Palace would have been destroyed. It's just that because of Ye Shaolong's arrival, he changed the method of being destroyed.
If you look at it this way, you can't put the charge on Ye Shaolong's head.
The beautiful Old Summer Palace in the past will look like a ruin at a glance, and it is also a ruin that has been burned by fire. There were no artifacts left, all looted.
The little emperor's face was pale, and he didn't know how he felt in his heart at the moment. If the treasures in the Old Summer Palace are really counted, they are no worse than those things hidden by the emperor in the palace.
Every piece of cultural relics in it is precious, and any one taken out is a priceless treasure. But now, all that is left in front of me is ruins, and there are still any cultural relics.
"Shaolong, I want to ask you for something." The little emperor suddenly turned around and stared at Ye Shaolong directly, and there was no doubt in his tone.
Seeing the little emperor with such an expression for the first time, Ye Shaolong didn't dare to giggle anymore, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, please speak!" ”
After helping the little emperor recapture the capital this time, Ye Shaolong had already planned to return to Yejiabao and no longer care about outside affairs. This will make the little emperor want to do things by himself, but in fact, he is a hundred unwilling in his heart.
It's just that it's not easy to show on the surface, so I can only listen to what the little emperor wants to ask him to do before making a decision.
"I hope you can send troops to catch up with those foreigners and get back the looted cultural relics."
The little emperor said it word by word.
"Recovering the ...... of relics."
Ye Shaolong did not answer the little emperor immediately, but pondered for a moment, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The emperor thinks too highly of me Ye Shaolong. The last time I was able to defeat the foreigners in Yejiabao, it was because there was Yejiabao to rely on. With my three thousand Ye Jiabao's disciples, I can't compete with the foreigners on the plains. ”
"Also, this foreigner has been away for most of the day, and he may have arrived in Baoding City, and by the time I chase him, they have already gone out to sea by boat. It's no match for anyone else on land, let alone at sea. ”
This complaint obviously made the little emperor very dissatisfied, and he was unwilling to let those treasures be snatched up like this.
But he also understood that what Ye Shaolong said just now was not fiction, the facts were in front of him, and it was a great gift to be able to get lucky to return to the capital now.
"Well, in that case, forget it!"
sighed lightly, expressing the helplessness in the little emperor's heart, the capital of the country is about to die, do those cultural relics still matter?
The dejected little emperor seemed to lose his vitality for a moment, and returned to the palace lifelessly.
Ye Shaolong didn't follow to disturb him, and he would feel bad when he encountered such a thing. Rather than following him and not knowing how to persuade him, it is better to simply let him be alone and quiet.
Ye Shaolong turned around and returned to the palace gate, and was about to go to see how many beggar disciples Su Can had rescued, but the iron tower came over.
"Great marshal, the danger has been ruled out in the palace, and there are no widows or foreigners left. Are we going to withdraw our troops now? ”
Ye Shaolong pondered for a moment and said, "Leave a thousand people for the emperor to send first, and the rest of the people will all withdraw to Yejiabao." ”
"Yes!" The tower turned around and went back to the palace.
The streets were already overcrowded, and after the foreigners entered the city, the officials who were hiding rushed in after learning the news that the emperor had returned to the palace.
Ye Shaolong rode a horse and strolled through the streets, in front of and behind him, more than a dozen personal soldiers supported him, and the people avoided him one after another.
This made Ye Shaolong unimpeded all the way, and soon came to the mansion. I saw that many beggar disciples gathered outside the gate, and when I stepped forward to ask, I learned that Su Can was in the mansion.
Ye Shaolong immediately dismounted and entered the mansion, and under the guidance of the helmsman of the beggar gang, he saw Su Can in the main hall of the mansion.
This guy is sitting in the public court at the moment, and there are two fat-headed and big-eared guys kneeling in front of him, as if they are interrogating something?
Seeing Ye Shaolong coming, Su Can didn't pay attention to it, but shouted and asked the two kneeling in front of him: "You'd better be honest, did you torture five beggar disciples to death during the detention of my beggar gang disciples for foreigners." ”
"Master Su, I really didn't do it, it was him, I don't know about this at all!" The fat man with a red face pointed to the man beside him, and he was so anxious that tears were about to fall out.
The master man obviously didn't expect that the prefect would betray himself at this time, so he immediately defended to Su Can: "Master Su, I'm just a master, and I don't have the right to do these things, besides, I have no grievances with your gang, so naturally I won't torture your disciples." ”
"All of this is the prefect, in order to please those foreigners, he took your beggars to help his disciples to invite merit."
"Bold, you dare to slander this house."
"Smack!"
The fat prefect was angry, and he slapped him directly and slapped the master in the face.
The master didn't expect the prefect to make a move, and he was really slapped, and his face was hot and painful. When your life is at stake, you don't know what an adult or a bad person.
As soon as the master was ruthless, he suddenly waved his hand and slapped back, and the 'snap' was louder than the slap just now.
even directly slapped the prefect's fat body directly to the ground, and there were faint traces of blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Seeing the two slapping each other in front of him, Su Can didn't speak, and he didn't mean to stop it. These two men were no different from dead people in his eyes.
Those who dared to touch his beggar gang, Su Can had already condemned the two of them to death. It seemed that he had seen enough of the two dog-eat-dog, and Su Can ordered his disciples to put the two in prison first, and then execute them later.
After the prefect and the master were dragged down, the court regained calm, and Ye Shaolong said with a smile: "The eldest brother turns out to have the potential to be an official!" ”
"You kid don't say anything cool here, what is the matter with coming to me, tell me quickly, I'm still busy." Su Can got up and sat down beside Ye Shaolong.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just to see where you saved people, it seems to be okay, right?"
"Five dead, the rest are fine."
