.

The source of this gust of hail started from Beijing. The incident began when Li Hongzhang entered Beijing. As soon as he arrived in the capital, Li Hongzhang met with the Queen Mother.

Li Hongzhang crossed the threshold, immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, "My minister Li Hongzhang respectfully invites the emperor and the empress dowager.

Cixi just said lightly: "Get up and show Li Zhongtang to sit down."

Li Hongzhang kowtowed again and said, "In the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the old minister lost his troops and humiliated the country, and he was no longer worthy of being the central government. The empress dowager called him this, and the old minister was ashamed of being the one who dared not be the one."

Cixi still said lightly: "See the old middle hall."

Li Lianying hurriedly shouted: "

A brocade stool moved behind the runway, and Li Hongzhang kowtowed again before he thanked him for his gratitude.

Cixi looked at Li Hongzhang. After not seeing her for a year, Li Hongzhang looked haggard. Her original black hair had turned gray. She could not see the handsome Li Er look back then. Cixi sighed in her heart and asked, "There were too many people impeached you in Beijing in the previous period.

, Ai family knows that you have always been loyal to state affairs, so they will work hard to protect you. Now the time is here, so you should be at ease as your central hall. I will make the decision on everything."

When Li Hongzhang heard this, he not only burst into tears, but also choked and couldn't speak.

When Cixi saw this, her speech was different: "The Indian parrot you gave last time is very human. Unfortunately, I lost it a few days ago. When will Li Zhongtang give another one to the Ai family to relieve boredom?"

Li Hongzhang wiped his tears and said, "It's so good for the Queen Mother to learn that the old minister has been wandering around the market recently. He also found an Indian parrot, which seemed to be spiritually above the original one. This time he happened to be with him. If the Queen Mother likes it, he will stay with the Queen Mother."

Cixi was overjoyed: "Where is the bird now? Take it in quickly."

A eunuch: "Birds to the hall

At this time, Cixi's face was already full of bright and bright moon, and Li Hongzhang also looked relaxed.

Cixi looked at Li Lianying: "Present the bird and take a look

Li Lianying: "

After that, he took the bird cage from the little eunuch and presented it to Cixi.

The bird cage is woven with fine gold wire. On the jade branches inside the cage, there is a beautiful budgie standing with gorgeous feathers and a vibrant spirit.

Cixi liked it first and said to the bird: "Little guy, can you talk?"

Li Hongzhang was about to speak when the parrot in the cage suddenly jumped onto the branch and raised it slightly, shouting in a nice Beijing film: "God Lafayette will live forever!"

Everyone was stunned and happy.

Besides, the bird seemed to be afraid that people would not hear it clearly, and then shouted: "God of Lafayette will live forever!"

Cixi couldn't help but smile, and took the bird cage with her own hands, put it on her knees and said, "Why is this little guy so well-behaved?"

Li Lianying said intrigue: "The reincarnation of the Old Buddha Guanyin Bodhisattva. All living beings will be contaminated with spiritual energy when they see the kind face!"

Cixi said happily: "You can say it." She ordered, "Hang this bird in my bedroom and protect it!"

"Yeah!" Li Lianying: He took the bird cage.

Just as I was about to take the bird cage in, I heard the bird scream again, "I wish you a long life without any boundaries"

The atmosphere suddenly became cold. Li Hongzhang felt like he fell into an ice cave, knowing that he had fallen into someone else's plot, and his cold sweat suddenly made his clothes wet.

Cixi's face turned pale, she looked at Li Hongzhang, and her murderous aura appeared in her eyes

"This must be those ignorant people who have done this to cause trouble for the Ai family. Li Zhongtang, the Ai family will ask you to find it yourself and find out the main master. Can you do this?"

Li Hongzhang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly replied:

"The old minister must have captured this brave madman and smashed him into pieces."

When Li Hongzhang returned home, he started to investigate, but it was a little difficult to find the mastermind from a bird. Looking for the original owner of the bird now is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There is nothing we can do about it.

But this was not a problem for Li Zhongtang. Li Zhongtang just told his subordinates to say, "All other things have stopped, find out the mastermind who has caused trouble for Lord Lafayette within ten days." That's all.

Those few-rank senior officials who were in a position were even more proud and found their county magistrates, saying, "If you don't eat within eight days, no one will find out the mastermind who has caused trouble for Lord Lafayette."

The county magistrate turned around and said to his chief inspector, "In five days, take up all the people who committed the crime and don't give them food until the mastermind who caused trouble for Lord Lafayette was offered."

This sentence has completely changed when it comes to the bottom. Those constables got orders and took the opportunity to arrest innocent people. What can you do under Sangi? How many people were arrested for just because their families are rich

After being imprisoned, some people lost all their money and were safe. More people died of their family fortunes and died unjustly. The land of China was actually trapped in a bleak wind and rain because of the preference of one person.

Doctor Song had nothing to do. Since he left his son in anger and returned to his hometown in Shanxi, his life has been peaceful. His son won several battles, and when he knew it, he was also happy that he had cleaned up the Russian Russians. It was such a good thing.

It's worthy of being my son.' Song Bingce sent money several times, but the old man pretended not to know. His wife secretly bought dozens of acres of land and secretly asked someone to find a wife for his son. The old man pretended not to know, but just woke up from a smile in his sleep.

By this time, the old man's anger was much more dissatisfied and he felt a little missed by his son. Seeing this, his wife secretly sent a few letters to Song Bingce, and put his son's reply in a place where the old man could see it.

I don't want a letter to let a scoundrel see a doctor. The scoundrel named Hao Wei is a child of the Eight Banners. His family affairs are in trouble. He had to rely on his identity to fish in the countryside. If there is nothing to do, he will wander around the countryside to see where he can find some things.

Money. He recognized a few words. After getting this letter, he wanted to find a problem and blackmail some money. However, Doctor Song was upright and kicked the scoundrel over in front of everyone, losing the scoundrel's face. When he sued the county government, the county magistrate knew

The imperial doctor Song didn't even raise his eyelids, and he beat him out with sticks. The scoundrel suffered a great loss and lost his face for several days. Everyone thought he was embarrassed and hid, but they didn't know that he was cruel and actually went to Beijing.
