When he came outside, Chongli had already ordered someone to prepare a new set of robes, boots and hats, and boiled a bucket of hot water for Zhao Guanhou to bathe. Although he only stayed for one night, Chongli arranged it very well. Not only were there workers who rubbed the bath, but even the masters who shaved their heads and pedicures were hired, and even prepared two cigarette bubbles to prevent Zhao Guanhou from becoming addicted.

When the washing was finished, Zhao Guanhou came outside, Chongli looked up and down a few times, and said secretly: Sure enough, he is an extremely handsome descendant, no wonder that Shigege is like. Thinking that if he was really stabbed a few times, Shigege would definitely not be finished with him, and King Qing said a word, he was afraid that he would suffer a lot, and he hated and imprisoned even more in his heart.

In last night's fight, Zhao Guanhou fought against the night eye, plus there was a knife on his body, but he also suffered a few punches and kicks on his body, and he also had injuries on his face. Chongli was afraid that he would be hated by Shigege because of this, and he would find a reason to embarrass himself in the future, so he stepped forward and hurriedly took his hand

"Lord Zhao, what happened last night was really a bad thing for my brother. I have an excellent friendship with Zhong Shuai, and the two of us are our own people, but Zhang Qiaoye is not easy to shirk, and there is also a Song Du master. I had to go through the motions, hide it from the top and don't want to, I don't want to, there was a villain here, and something big almost happened. Brother, don't hold a grudge. ”

"Lord Chong, you are serious, and you dare not hold a grudge against your lord. There are two dead and three maimed people in this cell, but I have caused you trouble. There is no good hand in fighting, and I hope that the adults will take care of one or two more. ”

"No, I've already taken care of this matter, brother, just rest assured, I guarantee that it won't implicate you."

In the prison cell, and the prison has been locked in the cell where Zhao Guanhou once lived, the only difference is that he is really shackled, and he wears a 120-pound fish scale flail for death around his neck, and it is difficult to move. Lying there lamenting weakly, "wronged...... Lord Chong, wronged......"

Zhang Tong came forward to take Zhao Guanhou away, but he didn't let him go with him, and after he went out, he pointed at him, "Qianmi, in the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, even if you are a real scoundrel, you must be cautious and dare not be presumptuous." It's good that you brought the gangsters here, and you are famous. Don't be so presumptuous anymore. That Huntsman has been parked there since dawn, and if the old man wants to take you away, he will offend ten grids. Although she is a wild Gege, she is also a golden branch and jade leaf after all, young man, remember clearly, there is a knife on the head of the color word, and she weighs the advantages and losses by herself. Also, don't make Jade sad, or the old decay will stuff you into this commander's cell, and it won't make you so comfortable. Tomorrow, see me at Xianliang Temple. ”

Not long after Zhang Tong's carriage left, Heng Simei really ran over, Shigege changed into men's clothes, opened the car door, and asked Zhao Guanhou to come up, and hurriedly looked at it, "E, how are you?" Have they ever broken it? …… Do you have a wound on your face? What a reverence, I tore him apart! ”

Zhao Guanhou grabbed her and pulled her into his arms, "Good Gege, don't wronged a good person, this time the splint is enough for him, he has a friendship with our Zhongshuai, it's not good for him to be too difficult." Besides, I didn't suffer in this matter, but I lost a dagger. ”

"What is a dagger, let's buy dozens of them when we go back. Last night I was still thinking, why not bring a foreign gun. But when I looked back, I figured it out, if you bring a foreign gun, it is not easy to deny. What are you doing that have occurred to them to use this method? ”

Zhao Guanhou naturally couldn't say that he had dealt with prisons in his previous life, and he was used to this kind of method, so he had to smile, "I was born in a gangster, and I know this kind of thing best." I also thought that I would be prepared and not suffer losses, but I didn't expect them to really dare to do it. A few people are good, and the place in the cell is narrow, I am not a chivalrous character like the fifth master, if it weren't for the guy, I would really have to suffer. There are several dead and injured this time, will you find trouble over there, do you want to hire a few dart masters, I'm not afraid, but there is also a second sister. ”

"That old woman, you're quite concerned." Shigege muttered, but he also knew that he and Sai Jinhua were not related to him, and he would not be really jealous. Then he smiled and said:

"Chongshouzhi has already sent someone to Daxing to spread the word, who dares to make trouble with us again, there will be no place for him in this Sijiu City, how dare he be presumptuous. I invited Zhou Liang from the Friends Dart Bureau, and he inserted the handguard hook into our door, and no one dared to take a look at the people in the green forest of Sijiu City. This time, you showed your face, not only cut Zhang Yinheng's face, but also made trouble with the yamen, the commander of the infantry army, maybe those who fought saw you and called you Shengye. ”

When the two arrived at the residence, they saw a pair of handguard hooks hanging outside the door, Zhou Liang was a heroic man in the capital city, and Wang Wu was on a par with Wang Wu, and with his token, no one dared to disturb him. Sai Jinhua waited at the door early, and when she saw Zhao Guanhou coming back, she asked him to step into the brazier, and said that she wanted to find Zongziye to wipe her body to get rid of bad luck. Until noon, two officers from the military department came over and brought the court's handling of the matter.

Zhang Yinheng was old and sick, overwhelmed, and was allowed to recuperate for a month. Zhao Guanhou roared at the government office, there was no supreme official, he was demoted to four levels to stay in office, and he still wore the second grade. The whole conflict started with Zhao Guanhou taking the initiative to make trouble and turned the table, and ended with him redeeming Zhang Yinheng. killed and injured several people, but he was demoted to four levels to stay in office, but Zhang Yinheng was kicked out of the reception group, judging from the results, it was actually Zhao Guanhou or Zhang Shaoquan, who won a complete victory.

According to the Daikin officialdom system, relegation can be offset by the record of relegation, and retention leaves room for maneuver. As long as the reception is done well, or in other words, the queen mother or the emperor thinks it is done well, the punishment of opening and recovering is nothing more than a matter of care.

Moreover, Zhao Guanhou, the second-grade top, was originally to cope with the reception of foreigners, and was temporarily upgraded, due to the lack of sufficient military merits, whether it can be really eliminated is still in two opinions. The current four-level retention, which is to demote his second grade all the way to the original fourth grade, is actually not painful or itchy, and he is standing still.

Zhang Yinheng is really sick and takes a month's leave, which is equivalent to withdrawing from the reception group, and Prince Henry even came to take it away, and it may not take a month.

The one who benefited the most from this conflict was actually Zhang Tong, with his qualifications and prestige, he was not comparable to Zhao Guanhou, and after the errand was done, he naturally wanted to get the first credit, and the specific person who did the work was to be done by Zhao Guanhou. He and Zhang Yinheng had a heart disease, and the imperial court did not issue an order to reinstate the official position, so he did not go to the general office of the national affairs yamen, and only served as a director of Xianliang Temple. As soon as the next day dawned, Zhao Guanhou rushed over early, handed over the notebook on the door, and then waited to meet him.

Xianliang Temple is in the Bingzhan Hutong of Donghua Gate, it was originally the prince's mansion, the house is the temple, and the Son of Heaven is inscribed "Xianliang". It has long become the place where the feudal officials enter the pilgrimage to report on their work or the Xingyuan Mansion of the big people. There is a door on the door, and the people who run inside and outside are also in charge, which is no different from the mansion.

Zhang Tong and Zhao Guanhou are now relatively clear superiors and subordinates, and they are not as casual as when they eat in Tonghetang, and they hand over the handbook until the time has passed, and they have to be summoned. saw that Zhang Tong was still wearing an official uniform, and although he had no three-eyed dazzles on his head, he still had a big red top.

"I have already negotiated with the Prussian Minister Haijing, and Prince Henry has agreed to meet Lafayette in person." After seeing the ceremony, Zhang Tong threw out the news in the first sentence, obviously warning Zhao Guanhou not to be proud. Daikin has been doing foreign affairs for many years, and has its own talents, so that it will not be ineffective everywhere without him, and he has solved this problem by going out on his own.

He is not a magnanimous person, and the old feud with Zhang Yinheng can make him dismantle the stage behind his back, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly, Yuan Weiting defected to his door wall at the beginning, and then he turned his back on the seal, Zhang Tong naturally had no good opinion in his heart. His mind is still to cultivate Zhao Guanhou, think that he is wings, and use Zhao Guanhou to take charge of the troops in the new army, so as to contain Yuan Weiting. However, I am worried that this person will be like Yuan back then, and as soon as he gets his will, he will think of leaving him, and he must be restrained.

Therefore, at this time, Xiao Lu's skills also made Zhao Guanhou understand that Jiang is still old and spicy. Even if it is the embassy district, moving out of one's own name can still solve the problem. Let them be afraid of themselves, and they may be subdued.

In fact, Zhang Yinheng can also solve this matter if he has time. But the time and cost spent by different people to do one thing is naturally different. He was still a little short of the heat, and he didn't understand the intentions of the foreigners, so he spent some more time. The old man will teach you, ******** about this? ”

Zhao Guanhou knew that Zhang Tong's examination was actually a guide to himself, but he did not hide it, and thought about it for a while, "Zhongtang, the lower officials want to come, Qiao Yegong only thought about reasoning with foreigners, but he didn't think about asking foreigners what they wanted." In handling foreign affairs, it is naturally impossible to be unreasonable, and it is even more impossible to be reasonable only to do it. What foreigners want, what can we give, to explain these clearly, etiquette matters, but the way. Just looking at a ceremony, you can't see the benefits, so you become Weng Fangtian and others, it's okay to do learning, but you can't use it to do foreign affairs. And Qiao Ye Gong should not know how to speak and benefit, but he was tied by Weng Fangtian, and he didn't dare to talk to foreigners. ”

Zhang Tong nodded approvingly, "Okay!" If you were born decades earlier, there would be no place for him Zhang Yinheng in the affairs yamen. These words are exactly what happened this time. The Prussians came to visit this time, and the people of Shandong were at odds with each other, and the governor was favoritic, so that it was difficult to give orders, and the railroad was destroyed. As long as we talk about these issues and the things we meet, we can discuss them. Zhang Yinheng, firstly, he is worried that his words will not be good for him, and secondly, he is selfish. ”

He sneered and took out a leaflet from his sleeve: "This is what my men received when they were distributed in the streets. They were agitating to compete with the Puren for the right of way, and to redeem the power of the Shandong Railway to the imperial court. It is feared that since the railway is owned by ordinary people, it will be difficult to preserve the minerals. Zhang Yinheng is the big financier of this group of Nationalist Protectors, how can he fight for the rights and interests of the railway for foreigners? So this one is an idea, and he is helpless. ”

The Prussians had already forcibly occupied Jiaozhou Bay by force, and before that, a railway line had been built in Shandong, and it was not too difficult to connect with it on the original basis. However, although the imperial court recognized the lease of Jiaozhou, the people refused to agree. The enmity between the people and the people, and the enmity between the people and the foreign, led to frequent attacks on roadworks and prospecting teams, and the railway lines were often destroyed, and the progress of the project was unusually slow. The Prussians were strong in their forces, and they were also quite powerless in the face of the hatred of the huge people.

Moreover, the power to protect the church in Shandong was in the hands of Prussia, and now the conflict between the boxers and the church in Shandong is becoming more and more serious, and the killing of priests and parishioners and the burning of churches have occurred frequently.

There were already ringing horses in Shandong, and there were generals in Henan who were crossing the border, plus the boxers, and they joined forces, either attacking trains or attacking churches, which had formed a serious threat to Prussia. After Shandong Governor Li Bingheng was expelled and Yuxian took over, the punishment of the bandits was harsh, but the punishment of the boxers was not very effective.

Zhang Tong said: "I heard that among the boxers, there is a leader named Zhao Laozhu, another leader is called Yan Shuqin, and Zhu Hongdeng and others, all of whom are remnants of the Bagua Sect. At that time, the gossip sect conspired to rebel, and the imperial court had issued a strict order to ban it, and now it is resurrected in Shandong, and it is becoming more and more intense, and Yuxian not only can not be strictly exterminated, but has many dealings with it. I heard that even in his standard camp, some people have begun to practice boxing, and it seems that if one or two good generals are not sent, they will not be able to quell this chaos. If it is used to cultivate strength, it will be a great disaster for the country. There is only one Prussia, and it is good to parry, but if all the nations think that my Dajin is an enemy of it, then disaster will be in front of you. ”

Zhao Guanhou saw him looking at him, and hurriedly smiled: "Zhongtang, the lower official is just a pipe band, a battalion of soldiers, but he can't help anything." ”

"You have a battalion of soldiers, and naturally you can't help. If the new army enters Shandong, what do you think is the chance of victory? ”

Zhao Guanhou didn't know what he meant by asking, did he still take Yuan Weiting's seal handle away from him? Even if he had meritorious diplomatic merit this time, it would be impossible for him to have such great authority, so he had to recite the truth: "If the new army is all entered Shandong, it will be effortless to wipe out these people." ”

"It's good to have your words. If these people continue to make a fuss like this, sooner or later there will be a big mess, and I am not afraid that there will be a rebellion of the people, but I am afraid that unscrupulous generals will lead the troops. As long as there is a military horse that is sure to quell the chaos, there is still something to be done in the world. ”

When Zhang Tong said this, he sighed again, "Our big gold, the poor people of the country, just like an old house, has been eaten by moths, and it will collapse if the wind and rain are urgent." All I can do is to frame it so that it looks like a new house from the outside, so that there will still be some respect for the owner of the house. But the owner of the house must understand that this is an old house. If you want to live safely, you have to find a way to make money to renovate, otherwise you can't resist the wind and rain. If you take this framed house as a new house, you have no hope. ”

Zhao Guanhou said: "But this old house is old, and most of the wood has rotted, if you want to repair it, you have to ask a master craftsman to repair it carefully." Lack of tiles to make up for tiles, beams to replace beams, everything to seek stability. If I was in a hurry, it would have to be completed in three or five days, and I was afraid that the house would collapse in an instant, and I wouldn't be able to keep even the pasted parts. Therefore, as courtiers, what we think about should be paste, not demolishing the house. ”

Zhang Tong nodded approvingly, "What you said is exactly what I thought, I didn't see the wrong person." You can rest assured, as long as you follow the old decay and paste this house well, your benefits will be indispensable. Besides, everyone is in this house, and if the house collapses, we will not be good, so we must not do stupid things! (To be continued.) )
