"Your Majesty, what's going on ahead? Why don't you go? Jingfen asked softly

"You have a good rest here, I'll go down and have a look," Guan Xuqing said and got out of the carriage

As soon as Guan Xuqing got out of the car, Huo Yuanjia, Dadao Wang Wu, Yanzi Li San, Huang Feihong, Dong Enping, Zhang Zhankui and others hurriedly surrounded him, and even mosquitoes could not fly into Guan Xuqing's surroundings

"Young Master Ben is in a panic on the carriage, come down and move his shins, don't make such a fuss Xianghua? Let him come over," Guan Xuqing said, stretching his waist

"Yes," Wang Shang hurriedly left

After a while, Feng Xianghua rode quickly towards here, dismounted and trotted all the way from Guan Xuqing about 50 meters away

"Young master, you are looking for me," Feng Xianghua said expressionlessly

"Well, what's going on in front of you, Luo Ming hasn't seen Lai Tongsheng for so long, what is the situation?" Guan Xuqing asked impatiently

"Back to the young master, there are a large number of refugees blocking the way in front of me, it is estimated that it is the group that robbed the military camp a few days ago" Feng Xianghua reported truthfully

Guan Xuqing frowned, "Didn't I give the will, if there is an act of looting arms, it can be treated as a chaotic party?"

"Back to the young master, those refugees did not loot arms, only military rations, and now they are forcibly collecting tolls from merchants here despite the imperial court decree," Feng Xianghua replied

"Hmph, don't you care about the local officials like this?" Guan Xuqing scolded

"Without the support of local officials, these people probably wouldn't have dared to rob so blatantly," Feng Xianghua guessed

"Hmph, the governor of Henan and the prefect of Zhengzhou are irreparable, tell Luo Ming that all the refugees in front of him will be dealt with according to the chaotic party, and they will be arrested on the spot, and the rebels will be killed without forgiveness and drive as soon as possible" Guan Xuqing turned around and got into the carriage directly

"Chirp" Feng Xianghua turned around and got on the horse and galloped towards the place he came from

Guan Xuqing returned to the carriage, didn't say anything, just grabbed a book and rummaged around randomly, Jingfen has been in the harem for many years, and knows that the emperor must be angry, so he didn't ask anything, just sat quietly next to him, without saying a word

It didn't take long for Jingfen to hear several gunshots one after another in front of her, and Jing Fen nervously leaned towards Guan Xuqing, but Guan Xuqing said without raising his head: "Don't be afraid, I let them do it for a while and then continue to go."

"Yes" Jingfen sat up straight, looking out the window a few times with a nervous expression

After another quarter of an hour, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, although Guan Xuqing was holding a book and looking at it decently, but his mind had already flown outside

"Tell the young master, all the thieves in front have been exterminated, and the rest have all been arrested, please send them down" Luo Ming's voice sounded outside the carriage

Guan Xuqing put down the book and replied lightly and forcefully: "Transfer all the thieves to the local yamen, just say that it is the will of this young master, let them review and report to the other party, and lead someone to surround the mansions of the governor of Henan and the prefect of Zhengzhou, and this young master will go to meet them in person."

"Yes"

There was another sound of horses' hooves, and the car began to move slowly again

Cai Kang already had more than ten thoughts in his tenure as governor of Henan, how could such a feudal official be in office for ten years if he did not have someone in the court who could speak to support him behind his back

In addition, Zhao Guangsheng was the first Jinshi in the second class of Enke in Guangxu 10 years, but at that time, he only put a seven-grade Qingpu magistrate in office for one year, and his political performance was mediocre for some reason, and he was suddenly recommended to become the fourth-grade Zhengzhou prefect, and he has been in office for eight years

Guan Xuqing thought about it and unconsciously fell asleep......

I don't know how long it took, Guan Xuqing was woken up by a whisper of talking, but he still listened to their conversation with his eyes closed

"The emperor is sleeping, and the prince will be announcing later"

"Queen Mother, you have pity on the poor slave, you call the emperor, if those generals outside can't see the emperor again, they will cut off the slave's head," Wang Shang said in a low voice with a crying voice

"Princess, you also know the emperor's temper, the emperor is in a bad mood today, if I wake him up again, I can't afford it" Jingfen said helplessly

"Wang Shang, what's the matter?" Guan Xuqing asked with his eyes closed

"The slave should be damned, I woke up the emperor, General Luo and General Feng wanted to see the emperor, and I waited outside for a long time," Wang Shang said excitedly after hearing Guan Xuqing's words

Guan Xuqing still closed his eyes and asked, "Is there something wrong with them?" ”

"The minion doesn't know, but it seems that the matter is more urgent," Wang Shang said anxiously

"Where's the car now?" Guan Xuqing asked again

"It's already on the ground in Henan, and the emperor has just fallen asleep, so the car stopped, and the two generals are waiting outside," Wang Shang continued

"Oh, let them in," Guan Xuqing sat up

"Chirp"

Jingfen looked at Guan Xuqing and said, "The concubine went out first."

"No, you're just sitting here," Guan Xuqing waved his hand

"Yes"

It didn't take long for Feng Xianghua and Luo Ming to walk in one after another, knelt on the ground and said, "The minister knocks to see the emperor, the queen's mother."

"It's all flat, I just took a nap, and the two generals have been waiting for a long time," Guan Xuqing waved his hand and said

"Emperor Xie" The two sat up

"What's the matter?" Guan Xuqing asked

Feng Xianghua first said: "Your Majesty, the capital telegraphed that our Burmese merchant ships of the Qing Dynasty were attacked by Indian gunboats, resulting in the sinking of our merchant ships of the Qing Dynasty and the loss of goods."

Luo Ming continued: "Your Majesty, the minister has just led his troops to surround the mansion of Cai Kang, the governor of Henan, Cai Kang committed suicide, and the letters are still burning in the house, and the minister snatched half of these burned letters from the furnace."

As he spoke, Luo Ming handed over the letters in his hand

Guan Xuqing took the letter and looked at it, most of them had been burned and could not be recognized, he casually put these aside, and asked Feng Xianghua: "India dares to attack my Qing merchant ships, so do they have any explanation?" ”

"The Indian side claimed that our Qing merchant ship had strayed into Indian waters and was sunk only after the warning was fired," Feng Xianghua replied truthfully

"Bang......" Guan Xuqing slapped it heavily on the table

"Hmph, being a British lackey, he is really not small, and he dares to go against my Qing Dynasty" Guan Xuqing gritted his teeth and continued: "Tell Peng Yulin and let him send a telegram to the ambassador to India in the name of the Ministry of War, just say that if the Indian side does not apologize and pay compensation, I will set foot on his Indian territory at any time, and I don't care if he is supported by Britain or France behind India, Japan is his example."

"Chirp," Feng Xianghua lowered his head and agreed

Guan Xuqing said to Luo Ming again: "What about Zhao Guangsheng?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Zhao Guangsheng had escaped before the encirclement of his ministers, and he didn't know where to go, in addition, those thieves had been sent to the prefect of Kaifeng, and now it has been ascertained that they were all instructed by Cai Kang, the governor of Henan, to collect the fees of merchants here, and most of the money was also honored to Cai Kang," Luo Ming said

"Sure enough, Emperor Shangao is far away, Cai Kang has been in office for decades, and I didn't even notice that he was actually looking for Diao people to rob here, why didn't he directly send officials to rob him?" Guan Xuqing gritted his teeth and said

The crowd bowed their heads and remained silent

Guan Xuqing picked up the letters that had been burned and couldn't read the handwriting from the table, and flipped through them casually, but unfortunately there is no restored technology like later generations in this era, otherwise they would definitely be caught behind the scenes

"Luo Ming, inform the prefect of Kaifeng to immediately send officials to copy Cai Kang and Zhao Guangsheng's homes, send me all the past letters, and be sure to arrest Zhao Guangsheng and bring him to trial in public," Guan Xuqing said

"Oh, I'll do it right away," Luo Ming said, and immediately turned around and left

Guan Xuqing continued: "Xianghua, send a telegram to Yan Fu, and ask him to sail the main force of the Nanyang Fleet to the port of Yangon in Myanmar and cruise in the Bay of Bengal, and put a little pressure on India, otherwise I really think that I am a bully."

"Chirp," Feng Xianghua replied in a low voice
