Chapter 250: The Great Earthquake

"Cousin, did you really kill her?"

When Meng Chen returned to the hotel, Su Can immediately sent a message.

"Well, don't delay, leave the capital quickly now, and you must rush to the magic capital before the auction starts tomorrow. ”

Meng Chen explained.

"Oh......"

Su Can's voice was fluctuating, obviously at this moment, he still felt a little foggy, and he couldn't believe it.

Meng Chen didn't say much to him anymore, and directly turned off the spirit interface and put away his phone.

Sit down in the room and continue to cultivate to the Yang Jue.

Early the next morning, Meng Chen and Ning Ling said a word, and then rushed back to Dragon City by themselves.

There are still a lot of affairs to deal with here, and Ning Ling will have to stay here for a few days.

On the way back, Meng Chen made a detour to several places and released Ghost Li and Jin Yan again to collect some data stream energy.

......

On the way back to Longshi, in the late Qing Dynasty, a great turmoil like an eight-magnitude earthquake spread rapidly in all directions, with the capital as the center.

Since Cixi dismissed Prince Gong from all his posts, all the affairs of the entire Qing court, both inside and outside, have been controlled by Cixi.

A real one-handed cover.

As soon as such a person died, the Qing court immediately fell into a power vacuum, and Emperor Guangxu, who had just turned fifteen years old and had been living in the shadow of Cixi, was immediately stunned.

Especially Cixi and Li Lianying's poisoning, and even involved his own father, Prince Alcohol.

After the other palace maids and eunuchs in Chuxiu Palace found out that something had happened, this Prince Alcohol was completely delirious and couldn't say anything clearly.

There was a great chaos in the inner court, and by noon the next day, four groups of forces had been formed.

The first, the royalists. These people quickly gathered around Guangxu's body, and made plans to stabilize the situation as soon as possible.

The second, Cixi's former cronies and friends, these people were worried about being liquidated by Guangxu, and soon took the initiative to join forces, and sent the forward battalion, the Shenji battalion and other elites of the eight banners in the capital to completely block the palace of Prince Alcohol.

The third, the sectarian sect. These people had been suppressed by Cixi before, and now they quickly gathered together to discuss the strategic actions in the future.

The fourth, the wait-and-see faction. This faction is the most numerous, but most of them are not currently at the center of power.

In the chaos, the news of Cixi's death by poisoning could not be concealed at all, but was transmitted in all directions at a whirlwind speed.

These news are getting more and more chaotic, and some say that Prince Alcohol opened his eyes for his son, desperately entered the palace to assassinate Cixi.

It is said that Emperor Guangxu personally initiated this matter in order to regain power in one fell swoop.

There is also a legend that it is said that Cixi did a lot of evil, and God punished her and took her life with his own hands.

......

In short, all kinds of rumors are messed up, and no one can say what is going on.

These news spread quickly, but it was still not as fast as Su Can's.

By the next morning, when the news came out of the inner court and was transmitted to all directions through a telegram, Su Can had already used the power of the Shenxing Jiama to return to the Demon Capital Residence.

Although he was apprehensive, Su Can did not dare to delay in the slightest, and continued to follow the previous plan, while preparing the vehicles and horses, and making a gesture of preparing to go to the capital to congratulate Cixi on her birthday, while continuing the Asian diamond auction in the Canxing Auction House.

On this day, there were a lot fewer people in the Demon Capital who came to the auction house.

Obviously, these people have their own channels of information and have been informed of this "earth-shattering" news.

Su Can belongs to the newly rising nouveau riche, and his connections are still relatively limited, and no one came to tell him about it.

As for the worries in his own heart, they didn't happen at all.

As Meng Chen said, no one would associate this earth-shattering event with such a small person as him.

......

While Su Can was watching the progress of the auction in the auction hall, more than a dozen Dongying people in the Hongkou Dongying Consulate also gathered in a secret room to discuss affairs.

"Your Excellency Nakata, what do you think of this matter? Is it really the Prince of Qing Guo who killed their queen mother?"

An old man from Dongying was the first to speak.

"It's hard to say...... The contents of several telegrams are unclear, most of them are collected rumors about the capital, and it is difficult to understand the real inside story at present. ”

The kimono middle-aged man shook his head.

"Your Excellency Nakata, in your opinion, how should our Great Dongying Empire benefit from this matter?"

Another Dongying person also asked.

"It's hard to say...... As soon as this person dies, if Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Yi and others of the Qing Kingdom can unite, it will make China develop faster...... However, the Qing Emperor was young, and his father was involved in the assassination of the Queen Mother, so the situation after that was difficult to predict. ”

The kimono middle-aged man shook his head again and said.

“...... Nakata Sniper, you are the head of the consulate, it's hard to say, that's not easy to say, it's not like your style!"

Another Dongying man smiled.

Nakata Sniper, a middle-aged man in a kimono, fell silent for a while.

After a few moments, he also seemed to feel that he didn't say anything, and it seemed difficult to convince the public.

"In this matter, we can only send the news back to China and wait for His Majesty the Emperor to send back the order...... As for my judgment, I estimate that the situation in the Qing court in the end is nothing more than three possibilities. ”

Nakata continued.

The rest of the Dongying people all looked at him together, waiting for him to continue to explain.

"First, Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong and others quickly returned to Beijing, and cooperated with Yi and others to jointly assist the young Qing Emperor and stabilize the situation. Second, those clans of the Qing State first introduced one person, and then forced the palace on the grounds of Guangxu's 'killing of the mother', forcing the Qing emperor to abdicate and set up a new monarch. Third, the various forces were evenly matched, and the Qing State fell into a long period of chaos. ”

Nakata sniped.

"If it's the third point, that's good!"

A Dongying man chimed in.

"Well, either way, we can't do much at the current level. On the side of the Demon Capital, there is no force that can really interfere with the development of this matter...... We need to wait for news from the back of the country. For now, we just need to continue to do our part and keep a close eye on developments. ”

Nakata nodded.

......

The emergency meeting lasted more than half an hour before it ended, and more than a dozen Dongying people left separately to continue to monitor the development of the situation and carry out the affairs at hand.

After sending these people away, Nakata Sni called Yamamoto Ronin and the other two Toei people to discuss another matter.

"Your Excellency Nakata, this Su Can is so lucky! Now that the Empress Dowager of the Qing Kingdom is dead, and the Prince of the Qing Kingdom is also controlled, how should we deal with him next?"

Yamamoto Ronin was the first to ask.

"Let's hold off on him, let's wait and see what happens...... By the way, you can send someone to find that Sun Qian later, and see what news he has over there. ”

Nakata sniped and explained to Yamamoto Ronin.
