The person who came was not young, tall and fat, with a bulging beer belly, like a pregnant woman. She wore the fourth rank on her head and had no need on her face. She was Cui Yugui, the second manager in the palace.

Since Li Lianying, Cui Yugui has the most powerful power in the palace. He is close to Li Lianying and is also an elder. Li wants to call him cousin. However, in terms of position, Li is above Cui. In terms of responsibilities, Cui Yugui can only guess what Cixi wants to do and then do it. However, Li Lianying can persuade and guide the empress dowager in addition to this, just like the loyal and legitimate boss and mistress, which is better than Cui. Therefore, Cui Yugui has no good feelings for Li Lianying, and is more jealous.

For example, when the Zhang family was searched, Empress Dowager Cixi was also coveting the Zhang family's property. The person sent must be a confidant to prevent the private pockets. However, Li Lianying was a confidant. Now that the state has undergone major changes, he would discuss with him many things, so he sent Cui Yugui's misfortune. Although Cui Yugui loves money, he is even more greedy for power. If he can grab a fortune and lose money now, his future will be limitless. At this time, he will be even more unhappy to drive him out to do this misfortune.

When he saw that Zhao Guanhou came, he snorted in his nose, "Mr. Zhao, it's you! Why did you not come here? This is an errand for the infantry commander's yamen. He would send someone to send you a foreign official to do this. He was becoming more and more confused. I said, have you ever done the house search work?"

"If you go back to the Second General Manager, I have always been leading troops and have never done this job."

"That's right. I guess you are an amateur. I can tell you that this errand is the order of the Queen Mother. All the property I searched will be booked and entered into the palace. Why did yours go in first if my people have not arrived? If you lose something less, can you bear the heavy burden? I haven't arrived yet, you will take action now. No, I can't take this errand. I'm afraid that there are already many things lost. Don't leave these hundreds of people, I have to search one by one."

Zhao Guanhou smiled, "Second General Manager, you can't say that. Brothers are ordered to do the job, so they will naturally search for it when they arrive. Besides, it's not too late to talk about this matter. Zhang Yinheng and the Albion people are the best. If Sir Dou Nale arrives later, say a few words for him. Do you think we should copy this family or not? You can only make a fortune first so that the foreigners can't speak. As for private enclosures, I guarantee it, and there will be no matter. Searching in public will make the brothers' faces put."

Cui Yugui sneered twice, "Who will protect you if you protect them? Stop talking nonsense, even they will take you, you have to search!"

Zhan Ying knew that this was asking for money. He thought that Cui Yugui knew that Zhao Guanhou had received a lot of favors recently, so he wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail him. Just as he was about to say a few words to Zhao Guanhou, Zhao Guanhou's face also sank, "The Second General Manager, the mission of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be to conquer the house in the yamen of the Infantry Army, but there is nothing else. If you want to search for me, a second-rank life officer, you may be almost in a hurry."

"Second grade? Is it very big? Believe it or not, I will pick your top! Today, I'll search it!" Cui Yugui is a eunuch who has a good acting career. Although he has been pampering for many years and is not as good as before, he always has strength. He reaches out and wants to grab Zhao Guanhou's collar. Zhao Guanhou's eyes cold and he said coldly, "I found it myself!"

But at this moment, a crisp voice shouted: "Cui Buxiang, what are you going to do! Why are you going to be crazy? Beating the imperial officials in public, are you tired of living?"

Just by hearing the sound, Zhao Guanhou knew that the tenth princess had arrived. Sure enough, he saw her coming with a few people, and looked at Cui Yugui without hesitation. "Cui Buxiang, do you still know me?"

Cui Yugui was stunned at first, then quickly switched his smile on his face, let go of Zhao Guanhou, and snatched up in the crowd, "Tenth master, Slave Cui Yugui, pay tribute to the tenth master. Slave said who it is, and when they meet, they shouted Cui Buxiang, and they want to change someone else, Slave must tear him."

"What if I shouted?"

"You didn't say anything you shouted. To be honest, I haven't heard you call me for a long time. I'm still wondering in my heart. Master Ten, why are you so idle now? Are you here to play with me?"

"Get up and talk! I'm not here today, but to see your business. Didn't you say who protects him? I protect him, do you think it's okay or not?" As he spoke, the tenth princess came to Zhao Guanhou, clutching Zhao Guanhou's arm tightly, staring at Cui Yugui, like a tiger, about to go down the mountain to eat.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Cui Yugui quickly kowtowed to Zhao Guanhou, "This... this is a slave. I don't know. After a long time of trouble, you and the tenth master... are good friends. You are so bad. Why didn't you say this earlier? It would be nothing if you said it earlier. How could you say this? The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. The whole family refused to recognize the whole family. Isn't this a big joke?"

The tenth princess snorted, "Cui Buxiang, you don't need this. You are the second general manager of the palace now. I can't take care of you either when I was in the Qing Palace. You can't do it. You can think about it yourself. I'll watch it here, just see how you treat my friends."

Cui Yugui was in the palace for a long time and his face-changing skills were perfect. At this time, there was no trace of the anger he had just now on his face, but it was as gentle as the spring breeze in March.

"Tenth Master, when you say this, the slave has become a villain who has been ungrateful to the master. So shouldn't it be struck by thunder? At that time, you are the master of the slave. Since you have come, what else can I say? Lord Zhao is also saying that the slave has not thought about it thoroughly. You have known this during this period. There are too many things and your mind is messed up. Now calm down and think about it. It's the reason. Hurry up and search the house and get errands quickly. There is also a big chore in the palace waiting for the slave to do it. If it is delayed outside, it is impossible for the Lord Buddha to explain."

He was originally an eunuch in the Qing Palace. Because he was good at singing operas and had a very handsome reputation, he was recommended to the palace by King Qing and was only in charge of the second general manager. King Qing was not only his former master, but also his master, and his kindness and relationships were not general. Although the tenth princess was not listed in the clan's mansion, Cui Yugui was a master whom he dare not disapprove of.

Furthermore, during this palace transformation, King Qing was also a great hero. He promptly informed the news of the murder after the encirclement of the garden, so that Cixi was fully prepared. This achievement and destruction of the emperor was inseparable from negotiating with foreigners. In the current affairs office, King Qing was respected, and he was even more inseparable from the rebellion of this person. This person himself could not offend him.

Compared with this major event, the search for money and property is not so important. He retreats when he should, and gives in as much as he should, and no longer insists on asking for money. The eunuchs behind him acted as he ordered him. Seeing that he ordered him to follow the search, he hurried to the mansion and registered and recorded the book as the government army began to take action.

Several soldiers moved the Grand Master's chair in the house, asked Zhao Guanhou and others to sit down, and brewed tea. The Ten Princess whispered: "This big belly is not a thing. Although I don't like Concubine Zhen, she is still a concubine who will live long live. As soon as she entered Yongxiang, she was searched for new jewelry and clothes by him. She was simply a slave to deceive the master. If I don't come, you can't suppress him. If Ama is not in power, he is afraid that he will not be afraid of me. When I find an opportunity to not deal with him well, let him know how powerful I am."

"If you don't come, I will deal with him. If I really treat myself as a scallion, I will still be able to find out the truth. Yuqing, just say whatever you like, I want to take it away and send it to you."

Yu Qing smiled and said softly: "Save it to your big one... There is still a wild one in Shaanxi Lane, and that one has to be supplied with jewelry."

After about an hour, the Zhang family's Fucai was completed in the investigation and registration, such as four seasons of clothes, silk and jewelry, etc., there were also many antique calligraphy and paintings, Song Dynasty books, and even existing silver and silver notes. These things were worth a lot of them together.

But the most expensive thing must be placed in those safes. This thing is made of Western steel and the password lock is on it. The officers and soldiers took the knife and slashed it twice. Cui Yugui said anxiously: "Don't chop it randomly. If the thing inside is broken, who can compensate you. I have to look for foreign technicians to find a skillful person. They may be able to open this thing."

Zhao Guanhou stood up, walked to the safe, and pushed Cui Yugui without hesitation, "What a big deal, I'm still trying to ask foreigners, please dodge, I'll do it." He turned around and asked the officers and soldiers for a copper wire, and tinkered it in it for a few times. Then, with a light sound, a safe was opened.

Although Cui Yugui was pushed, he was not angry and raised his fingers. "Okay! This is such a beautiful hand. I think the foreign technician is just like this."

The officers and soldiers had been dealing with people on the street for a long time, whispering, "Why don't the foreigners know? I see that the white money flying in the capital is just this method. This adult is not the foundation of the Rong family, right?"

The several safes were filled with colorful notes, all of which were from the Thai countries, and some letters and exchanges with ministers from various countries. In addition, there were a few notes and stamps, plus an extremely exquisite ivory handle and a small pure gold pistol. The size of this gun was small, and according to the statement at this time, it could be considered a gun type like the palm thunder. It could only fire one bullet and have a range of close.

Cui Yugui took out the gun and showed a grim smile on his face, "Haha, okay, Zhang Yinheng, I have long seen that he is not a thing. He is so bold that he hides this at home. This time he gave him his disobedience and unfilial!" Then he took out a few more notes, but couldn't see the clues, so he had to ask Zhao Guanhou.

"This is the passbook of Taixi Bank, which is similar to our banknotes, and it is not similar to our banknotes. The banknotes can be spent. If you take the passbook, you can't use it when you go to a place where the money is not fully exchanged, and you can't find it. It's mainly a certificate of withdrawal. You have to use it with a seal to make payments from the bank. Taixi Bank has a low interest rate, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are deposited, and the annual interest rate is only two cents. But there is one advantage, it is confidential. The depositor's name is confidential, and even if the court asks, it can't ask anything."

Cui Yugui is not like Li Lianying, and he lacks understanding of Taixi's things. He has never heard of this bank. When he heard the word "confidentiality", his eyes lit up, "Mr. Zhao, do you mean keeping confidentiality from ordinary people or keeping confidential to everyone? It's just like saying that the old empress dowager issued an imperial edict?"

"Then you have to negotiate. If you ask with the decree, you will definitely not be able to ask anything. The Thaixi Bank's vault is guarded by foreign soldiers with guns on their backs. It is even stricter than the Ministry of Revenue's ministry management. Just like the embassy, ​​we can't get in."

When Cui Yugui heard this, he didn't know what he thought about. He nodded repeatedly. He saw that in other safes, there were some extremely precious jewelry in addition to these things. As well as the things he had searched before, he counted, and he had already exceeded one million. He gritted his teeth with hatred, "What a lot of Zhang Yinheng, I'm really tired of him. This time, I want him to have a good look. Sir, let's talk and we'll make a reconciliation."

The two of them came to the main hall of Zhang's family, and there was no third person in the room. Cui Yugui handed over the account book at hand, "Sir, look at this account. Is it okay to write this?"

Zhao Guanhou only scanned it once and probably judged that Cui Yugui's account book had at least 200,000 yuan and had not been written. In addition, he also hid a few in those passbooks. Among the jewelry, he recorded an excellent emerald ring as a green stone ring, probably to use inferior products as good ones. At this time, he could only pretend that he hadn't seen it, but instead smiled, "I am a warrior and don't know the account. The second general manager will calculate how to write it."

"That won't work, I'll tell you the truth. This house-tracking job is like the Chongwen Tax Supervisor, which is just a reward for merit. The Lady Buddha knew that Chongli was not easy, so he took some effort to get the assassin. He deliberately made it easier for him and had some money in his hand to live a good life. Even if he didn't show up, he would not be left behind. Since Lord Zhao is his own person, you can't lose this one, and there are ten masters. The servants must have a filial piety, right? If you think it's appropriate, you should be listed. If it's not appropriate, let's discuss it."

"Then let's do it this way. It's not easy for so many people to come. The second general manager has to take care of the people below, right? I understand what's going on here, and there will be no mistakes from me." Zhao Guanhou said while picking up his pen and putting his name on it, which is a confirmation of the account. Cui Yugui was overjoyed and reached out to take out the memorandum and seal.

"This is also necessary for Lord Zhao to help me, and teach me how to save and withdraw. I am not afraid of you to joke. I am a countryman. I don't know how to negotiate with them when I go to a foreign company. I don't know how to negotiate with them when I get money. How much you have to worry about withdrawing money? This comment... is a little bit of a little meaning from a slave. Another comment is to respect the ten masters."

Cui Yugui didn't understand the key points of these memorials, and how many they judged was all based on counting zeros. He was so mean and the two memorials he left were all big numbers. The memorials he could understand were 30,000, and the memorials Yuqing were 10,000. The two memorials he had in his hand added up to about 200,000, no matter how he looked, he took a big advantage. He was afraid that Zhao Guanhou would not be happy, so he explained

"When I go back to this job, there are many people who have to deal with it. Many of them cannot get out of the palace. I all expect the people who let the money go back with benefits and everyone will live. Lord Zhao is more considerate and considerate, and there are also things that are not easy in the palace."

Zhao Guanhou looked at the passbook and looked calm on his face, "Where is the second manager? Since we are a family, how can we not understand each other? When will you want to get this money, send someone to me and I will take you to get it. There must be a witness here so that everyone can feel at ease."
