C1607 The Story of the Snitch

"The flying thief pretended to be someone who was knocking on a small drum to collect trash. This is just a way for him to get close to the inner chamber concubines. This kid still has other tricks up his sleeve …"

"The concubines of large clans don't even know the true prices of those antiques, or it means that they are very valuable, but she would sell them for her own personal gain! For example, if you don't take out a thousand silvers from the Liu-Li Factory for instance, there's absolutely no chance of success. But in the inner chamber, you can take out two to three hundred silvers! "

"Even though she knows she's cheating, she still wants to sell it. The reason why is because the Xuan De Furnace is placed in the warehouse, which is the common property of the large families. Two hundred silver taels would be her own private money!"

"Look, isn't this the conflict between justice and personal gain that the Prime Minister often talks about?"

When Sakamoto Ryoma saw that Zai Chun had stopped sobbing, he knew that this true story had already captivated him.

"That's how that flying thief earned a lot of money. Does it mean that this flying thief is the same as those Russian s? And the concubine who stole the finances of the court, doesn't look like Yi Shan and T?pchin? "

"The story is not over yet. Your Majesty, continue listening!"

"The Snitch isn't just trying to attract customers by selling them. He also has another trump card! In his bag, there will always be some outdated and rare Spring Palace Painting Books! "

"Haha, don't doubt it Your Majesty. This is real. He is bringing these things to do business … After being smuggled into the inner chamber or woodshed by the maid and the old granny, they first looked at the goods, and then discussed the price.

"After the deal is concluded, the Snitch will show the clients the benefits, which is the rare version of the Palace of Spring! He couldn't let the other party read too much at once. It would only take him two or three pages at a time. After which, he immediately placed the book into his pocket. Did he want to see the rest? "In that case, let's wait for the next transaction …"

Zai Chun was dumbfounded, "Ah? It can even be like this! How could he … Lecherous and messy interiors, this is against the law! "

"Hey …" Don't worry about whether it's illegal or not. First of all, it's useful! Because the concubine must use perverts to serve the master, some of the skills in the affairs are also one of the perverts! The spring palaces in the hands of the flying thieves are all out of print. I've never seen many kinds of things before, and now, I'm attracted to them! "

"On one hand, she has a perverted personality and wants to see these things herself. On the other hand, she can learn a lot of new skills in bed, which can be used to please men!"

After a few more trades, the thieves and the inner chamber will become familiar with each other. Since childhood, the thieves who have practiced martial arts have a good physical quality, plus, their looks are not bad either.

"Of course there are also some women who cannot let go of me. If you refuse, then that is easy! The flying thieves tore apart their hypocritical masks, directly threatening to publicize everything, and spread the news of the woman stealing things and secretly watching the Spring Palace throughout Beijing … The guilty woman was flabbergasted. She can only let him do whatever he wants! "

"It's addictive to have a clandestine love affair. It's no different than hooking up with adulterers. This woman has become a spy for the thieves and all the secrets of the big families have been exposed!"

Sakamoto Ryoma laughed: "I heard from Hidden Fog Kid that the flying thief back then was the one who had led the most comfortable life under her. He made the most money and didn't have to fight to the death to get the most information. This is truly a rich and famous place to reap great rewards from! "

Zai Chun couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "So that's how it is! Master's meaning was, Yi Shan, T?pchin and the rest are all the same as the concubine who was threatened? The flying thieves use the same method as the Russian? "

"What do you think?" Monk Long Gui shrugged his shoulders, "Yi Shan and T?pchin also have to be pampered in the imperial court, just like a concubine trying to seduce a master. While my concubine used sex, Yi Shan and the rest could only use money! "

"The smuggling network covering the entire Black Dragon River, Yi Shan and T?pchin are just small characters at the front desk. The profits they can get are only a small part of it, and the capital takes most of it.

"Russian has thoroughly understood these people's mind. He will follow you to earn some money and at the end, he will have to gather information on these people. When the critical moment comes, this will be the Poison Refinement Dagger that we saw earlier!"

Zai Chun tilted his head and suddenly asked, "Since they are a community of benefits, then what is Yi Shan afraid of? Just do it to the Russian! When the time comes, Russian will send the black materials to the imperial government. The Uncle Wang will protect him too.

"What is Yi Shan afraid of? According to what you said, he shouldn't be afraid of threats! Because the Queen Mother, Royal Uncle and the others were well aware of the business that Yi Shan was doing behind his back, and they had all tacitly agreed to it, why did Yi Shan not dare to resist in the end? Why did you still accept the threat? "

Zai Chun was naturally intelligent, he was able to detect any flaws easily.

"That's right, this is indeed an unreasonable point. Normally, Yi Shan wouldn't be afraid of the Russian threatening him, but isn't it just a crime like smuggling? In the Great Qing, this isn't a crime that requires certain death …"

"Actually, there are two things that the imperial government is worried about! The southern Taiping Army and the Xiang Army were in a stalemate. Manchu's last battle-able force in Jiangnan, the Jiangnan camp, had also been breached. Adding on the fact that the British and French combined forces had charged all the way from Guangzhou to the capital, the imperial government could no longer hold on! "

"And the second one... I didn't know it until the prime minister explained it to me in the end. Only then did I understand the secret behind it! The following words are the exact words of the Prime Minister. I will only repeat them, I am not responsible for explaining them! "

"Throughout the history of China, there were only two dynasties in which the foreign races settled in the Central Plains and formed a great united river and mountain. One was the Yuan Dynasty, and the other was the Great Qing!"

"And history has proven that the Great Qing's rule over the Central Plains is much more stable than the Yuan Dynasty, and that the Rivers and Mountains Empire has existed for far longer as well. The reason behind this is very complicated, one of the most important reasons is the result of the foreign forces and the Confucian culture being bound together!"

"Why would the Qing Dynasty obtain the support of the scholars of the world, and obtain the rule of the underworld through the identity of a foreign race? Firstly, the Qing Dynasty is willing to ally with the Confucian Scholar Group, which is the Chinese landowner class, to work together to govern the world.

This is only the first step, but Qing Dynasty's actions are much more ingenious. That is to use their martial arts to compensate for the weakening of the martial spirit in the Central Plains! And the Confucianism is also nurturing a branch of the barbarians. This is a type of complementary culture, or perhaps a twin tree that is tied together! "
