C3594 There is no airtight wall

In the end, Isha told his family the truth, because it was not easy to deceive outsiders, as for the past few days, your whereabouts could be said to be an errand in the imperial court, or even a secret. How could you tell your family?

A wise son should not be like a mother. As a mother, you are the most considerate of your son. You have lost 10 pounds in these five or six days of not returning home. What have you done?

He had dark circles under his eyes, and he was wobbling as he walked. What was going on with him? Was the war wounded or what?

He had to give an explanation, he had to give an explanation!

You want to hide? That's just a dream. You have to change clothes and take a bath at night, right? If you don't have a daughter-in-law, you'll have to mend your clothes or rub your back.

You're covered in kisses and scratches... How could this be explained?

If he were to speak the truth, Isha could only choose a more refined phrase and tell them what had happened in the past few days.

When Huai Hua heard that his brother had been humiliated by the empress dowager, he immediately ran out of the house while covering his face and went into his own room to cry.

He could still control his mother more or less. After all, she was the Eldest Young Madam of the Manchuria, and was even more shrewd and forceful than a Han girl. He was so angry that he slapped his son, but only after that did he start crying.

The mother pulled open the collar of her son's shirt and looked inside. She understood immediately. That scratched bloody Daozi had a bruised kiss, and when she looked at her son's black eye and skinny face, she couldn't help crying.

The two of them hugged each other as they cried. They were afraid that their neighbors would hear them, so they could only lower their voices and sob!

After crying for a quarter of an hour, the two girls finally calmed down. The mother took out a huge package from the hole in the brick bed, which was covered in dust.

"Ah!" I say, three days ago, why did Li Lianying's housekeeper give me a bag of silver? She said that Chief Steward gave me ten thousand silvers, and I was so shocked that I didn't sleep for a few days … "

"He didn't say why he wanted the money. He just put it down and left …" "Right, before leaving, you even gave me a weird smile, saying that you've already struck it rich …"

"I've guessed for three days and I still haven't been able to figure out what happened, but I can't believe you …" It actually became like this! "

Isha drooped her head and said: "What can I do, they are all big figures that we cannot afford to offend. Any one of them can pinch me to death …"

"Do I dare to resist? They threatened me with the lives of their entire family … "

The two of them held their heads and cried for a while. Then, the old lady asked, "I don't dare to ask that housekeeper. Why did he reward me with ten thousand taels? I counted only seven thousand …"

"Could there be a conspiracy here? "I don't dare to spend this money, so I can only hide in the kang hole …"

In fact, there were only about two thousand pieces of existing ocean in the bag, which was the Dragon Mark Silver Yuan. As for the rest, they were all banknotes, some were southern banknotes and some were North Ticket s.

He counted them carefully and did the same again. The total was about seven thousand taels of silver.

Isha facepalmed, "Oh yes... I remember... Isn't this the rule in the Duke Palaces and Great Mansion … "Inverted?"

"Mother …" Don't count it, this is ten thousand silvers, walking out of Li Lianying's storage room would be ten thousand silvers! "

"But do you know that all the servants in the capital have their own rules? Many of the master's rewards are 4 or 6 or 3 to 7 apiece …"

"In other words, whoever is rewarded by Master will not be able to get the actual amount of money. All the people who are rewarded will get points …"

"Think about it, mister, the accountant, the servant who manages the storehouse keys, and the butler who carries the silver taels …" These people have to make a fortune too, and they have to take your little reward! "

"If you say you're weak, they would eat you four or six times. If you were a bit stronger, they might eat you two or eight times …" "Anyway, they will always get a portion of the money …"

"Why should I!" The old lady was immediately unhappy, "They gave us the money, why did they take it away for nothing?"

"Aiyo, Mother, don't be angry. These are the rules that are put on the surface!" "Your highness … even the emperor has to obey …"

"If you weren't in the imperial court, you wouldn't know how deep the waters were. "During the war, he had to pay for his military expenses by bribing the military. Moreover, it was a bribe even the empress dowager knew of …"

"To put it bluntly, this thing is called the Ministry Fee. It is the hard-earned money for the clerks working on it. Do you know how much it is?" "One centimeter and three centimeters …"

The old granny did not understand what was called the division fee, nor could she calculate how much a third of a centimeter was worth, but all the officials knew it!

This means that if you, Ceng Guofan, want to reimburse me with one tael of silver, you will have to bribe me with three cents. If you want to reimburse me with one hundred taels, it will be equivalent to bribing me with two or three taels. And so on. That's 1.3% of the total expenses, according to Western mathematics.

This money was an open bribe, even the empress dowager had accepted it! From this point of view, if the servants and stewards of the mansion were to eat your food, then they would really give you face. It would already be good if they didn't match up with you at all.

"Then what about this silver?" The old lady was troubled.

Isha gritted her teeth and said, "Flower! Let's buy a place to live, spend money on it... "We can be considered to have some backers now. The empress dowager gave me the title of First Class Imperial Guard and told me to guard the Qixiangmen …"

"Also, the empress dowager said that I will be promoted to General in a year. Your son is risking everything to get this piece of meat, why don't you change it to a better quality one and change it to a marquis' present appearance! "

Now that things had reached this point, the old lady knew that she could not afford to offend Empress Dowager Ci Xi.

Suddenly, a team of messengers arrived at homostomia. Ministry of Internal Affairs had specially sent Isha a level 1 Guard's identity token, court uniform, and even some formalities.

The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were all attentive, they had long known of Isha's miraculous encounters. If they did not come now, what were they waiting for?

Ministry of Internal Affairs's Head Steward had gone to Shanghai, but the Vice Head Steward was still there. There were more than fifty people in this group, with firecrackers and firecrackers blowing on their horns, shocking an entire alley.

"Master Isha... She had actually instructed a first class guard to guard the Qixiangmen … "Congratulations to the great old master …"

Isha's family had never seen such a scene, the doors had just opened and a stack of orders was stuffed into his arms, all the officials who looked down upon him were smiling like chrysanthemums.

"Lord Yi …" "You must treat us tonight, you are definitely going to make it!"

"Bureau of Peace and Harmony... We have reserved seats in the Bureau of Peace and Harmony... Lord Yi must give face … "Let's go …"

The white smoke of the crackling firecrackers rose, the drummer was so hardworking, people who did not know that Isha wanted to marry a wife!

Amidst the chaos, the person on the roof quietly retreated like a gecko and disappeared into the shadows.

Half an hour later, a top secret telegram was sent to the northern region, and then to Ryukyu's's den.

The information on the Son of Heaven was not something normal officials could look at, and the telegraph codes were thrown into chaos as they flew from Ryukyu to the south, directly heading to star slope!

Because the head of the Chinese family, Xiao Letian, had just arrived in Singapore last night!
