C428 Rumors spread all over the capital

The source of the leak this time was surely Prince Gong's Mansion without question, because the Forbidden City would fall in another two hours. At this time, the eunuchs and guards within the palace wouldn't be able to come out. And other than the Forbidden City, only Duke Gong Palace knew of this news in the Beijing.

The fat eunuch who beat up the maid had always been an expert at making tea in the teahouse's garden, so he had no sense of secrecy. To him, being able to receive the gazes of tens of thousands of people in the teahouse's teahouse's garden was even more exciting than beating up two real Indian horseshoes.

In Xiao Letian's previous life, many East and West scholars had also studied on this phenomenon, which was why it was hard for Chinese people to keep it a secret, especially the people from the Beijing s under the Emperor's feet. Why were they so fond of talking about national affairs?

Actually, the root of it is a matter of face. I know, but you don't know, when I reveal my secrets to you, and your eyes are filled with desire, the vanity of mankind will be greatly expanded.

Another reason is very deep, Chinese people have always worshipped high officials and politics, I can get a lot of political gossip, this means that there are people in the upper echelons! Regardless of whether the person I am with is from the Prince's Mansion or the belle's Palace, in order to hear such top secret information, it means that I am closer to politics than you.

Not to mention this kind of illusory face is useless, the Chinese people are very good at dividing people into different groups in their lives. Sometimes it's not good to be too low-key, making everyone think that you are useless trash, then the number of people trampling on you will increase.

Every national character has a deep background, and even a vile habit has a deep social element behind it.

For example, when the quality of the people in society plummeted and people started swearing, you can rest assured that the sense of security that society gave them during this period of time was definitely very low.

Sometimes people open their mouths and swear. On the surface, it seems like a bad habit, but deep down, it's also a form of self-protection. I don't have any purpose in cursing, I spit on the ground, my eyes slanted to look at people, what do I give people the feeling? Just a hedgehog, just to tell everyone that I'm not to be trifled with, no one can think of bullying me.

To put it another way, why are some of the high school kids a little rebellious? In fact, their subconscious desire was to seek a sense of spiritual security through rebellion.

I've grown up, I'm an adult male now, I'm very powerful, if you provoke me, you better be careful that I don't retaliate too fiercely. This would make many rebellious children subconsciously ask for it.

Actually, after this period of time, when people matured, everyone would smile endlessly at that period of rebellion because the display of power that was full of threat was completely useless in life.

Now that the topic had returned to the secret of the capital, news of the fat eunuch had spread through the streets and alleys in less than two hours. Everyone was talking about it and thinking about it in their hearts.

"Aiyo, Yellow Lord! Are you drinking here? Did you hear about that? "

"I heard that Xiao Letian's lair was blown up by the French fleet. I heard that the people who died were all over the ocean …"

"More than, more than …" "You're lagging behind with this news. The foreign troops have already broken through the city, so there's no need for the cannons to explode. It's all the ghost soldiers shooting. The bayonets are sharp, it's really miserable!"

"Aiyo, the two of you sure are chatting well!" What about that? I say, this Xiao Letian deserves it. Previously, he said that he had already resigned from the position of prime minister, but now, he has been exposed by the French, right? "

"Right, right, right. Let's see. If the imperial government doesn't punish him now, it will be hard to convince the masses. Damn it, this rebel, pui …"

They had long forgotten about Xiao Letian's terrifying torture chamber, the new army and the flyers that filled the sky. Now, one by one, they had used the airs of a great lord to give the imperial government ideas.

"Men, now that the French have publicly bombed the Ryukyu, I think that Xiao Letian's deathly letter is true. If this stupid tiger doesn't dare to attack it, wouldn't it? "I think our nation's court will be finished …"

"That's right, Yellow Lord is right! "If you want me to say that we, the Eight Flag men, must join hands and pressure the banner lords and the imperial court. We can't be grandsons like this anymore, we have to be grandfathers …"

Each and every one of the ancestors' faces turned red from drinking so much that their ears had turned red. The reason for this was because their irrational actions had caused the imperial government to face an extreme political crisis.

The fat eunuch probably did not expect that his boasting and showing off would push the imperial court to the edge of the cliff. What he did not know was that the disturbance he caused would cause the undercurrents to surge violently, causing a strange change in the anger inside and outside the capital.

In an alley near the French Embassy, in the backyard of a small ordinary restaurant, a beautiful woman was sitting alone at a table, holding a cup and drinking slowly.

On the table was a simple four dishes soup, a large intestines with nine turns, fried meat, green onions and carp, green onions and sea cucumber, as well as a serving of emerald fresh prawn soup. Wine was also good wine. A Bamboo Leaf Green that was aged ten years had a sweet fragrance in its mouth. After three cups, the beauty's face turned slightly red.

The bistro had been converted into a courtyard. This restaurant with a private restaurant had always paid attention to protecting the customers' privacy. Many high ranking officials would like to come to this restaurant to discuss something. Of course, the price of the dishes here was also extremely expensive. Just these four dishes and one soup alone were not enough to make the dishes worth at least a hundred taels of silver.

Just as the woman was drinking quietly, the door was knocked three times. Before she could reply, a big hairy hand pushed open and a foreigner walked in.

"Hmm? You are the Hidden Fog Kid? It's actually a beautiful woman. I thought you were a terrifying female warrior. " So this woman was actually the Shimadzu Family's Ninja Hidden Fog Kid.

"This one is now called Sister Wu, I hope that Master Yang does not forget?" Sister Wu's eyes were filled with tears as she continued to charge at Master Yang.

"No, no, no …" Don't try to seduce me, I'm not one of those lustful Qing people... "Of course, I also like beautiful women, but I definitely won't let a woman get mixed up in my work …"

Master Yang sat on the chair grandly. He did not even need to eat his chopsticks so easily.

"Alright, I'll go straight to the point. I know your true identity, Shimadzu Family's Ninja and also a member of the Guardian of the Forbidden City, directly taking orders from that Old Ancestor. You know all about the Qing Dynasty... Eh? "This sea cucumber is not bad, we don't have it in Europe …"

"Deal, I want to make a deal with you … Please pour me a drink... We French need your undercover team to do some work, and I will give you some personal reports. "This large intestine is not ready, it's too clean, there's no smell …"

Sister Wu just stared at the Master Yang Taotie with his mouth agape. His speech was mixed with his judgment on the delicacies and even women were stunned by it, thinking that such a strong taste of Master Yang was rarely seen.

The Sister Wu finally understood the Frenchman's motive. She had hoped that the Sister Wu would secretly push the tide of the Inside Eight Flags to such an extent that the higher ups of the Qing Dynasty would feel the pressure from the lower levels. To put it bluntly, she wanted to force the imperial government to take care of Xiao Letian.

"Beauty, you should know that Ci An has been suppressing the flow of events this entire time, and Ci Xi has always been willing to start a war with Xiao Letian. Unfortunately, Ci An has the upper hand now, I need you to change this situation … "Another cup of wine …"

"Make those Baji who like to chat and don't like to work... That's right, it is the silkpants that you all are talking about that are making a move, making them cause trouble everyday, pressuring the imperial government, forcing them to start a war with Xiao Letian's power. This is the only thing we France want … "

"As long as you can complete this task, we can agree to some of your conditions …" You can mention it now. "

Hidden Fog Kid's expression stiffened, she was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke out: "Can you really raise any conditions?"

"Of course we have to be equal. You have to understand how important this mission is, and how much we can return. Don't be too greedy, you inferior races just don't know when to advance and when to retreat …"

Hidden Fog Kid didn't care about Master Yang's insult. Instead, she smiled sweetly. "What about you and me?" As she spoke, she undid a button on her chest.

The Frenchman stared at the woman's snow-white chest like a hungry wolf. He said coldly, "Woman, you are very beautiful. However, you are not beautiful enough for me to betray my homeland. You should stop dreaming …"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Hidden Fog Kid suddenly extended his legs and caught Master Yang's legs under the table, and even began to rub them slowly.

"There's no need to be anxious. You should listen to my conditions first …" What I want is very simple, is that I hope that Government of France can help us, the Tsurukawa's Palace, with a new army … Don't worry, we have the money. All our equipment and training instructors will choose you from France … "Think about it, this is a profitable business for you guys!"

The French intelligence officer was stunned. He thought for a long time before he smiled and asked, "So the one you are loyal to is that island nation! I had thought that you had already pledged your allegiance to the Qing Dynasty, but who would have thought … Can you tell me why? The treatment this Great Qing gave you wasn't good enough? "

Hidden Fog Kid's expression immediately became lonely. She said with a wry smile, "You all will not understand. My Home Country is that earthquake filled, volcanic eruption, tsunami, typhoon … "All sorts of natural disasters have struck islands. You simply cannot imagine just how miserable life there is …"

"If low-level farmers can get a meal of white rice, it would be enough for everyone to dance and sing. After raising a girl like me, the only way for us to get to the age of 13 or 14 is to sell her …" If it's not hard work, then it's a prostitute! "

The Hidden Fog Kid stared at the French intelligence officer, "This Great Qing is not my home, never will be. A country with such abundant resources, yet I don't know how to become strong. Such a country will never be my home! "
