3859 Self-contamination
"Hey hey... dare not give me face? You don't even drink wine, are you rushing to reincarnate?"
The Minister of Justice, a third-rank high-ranking official, is also considered a middle-level official in the capital. As usual, such officials are easily targeted by the censors. If anything is wrong, they will be included in this book!
In fact, the censor also looks at the dish of others. He can't afford to offend the first and second ranks, and the fourth and fifth ranks are too young to make people feel like they are pinching soft persimmons.
Then, if you find third- and fourth-rank officials to impeach regularly, you will seem to be brave enough to do things and work hard!
This Mr. Niu was diligent and careful in the past. Even if the fireworks land came, it was very low-key, and there was no reason to cause trouble!
What's more, this Shishishi is the most popular in the capital. The fifth master Yi Qiong and Cheng Beile are both regular visitors, so they are so proud of their face!
According to common sense, the third-rank minister would never make trouble in such a place. Unfortunately, this person drank a little too much today and was already forgetful!
The one who invited him to drink was a salt merchant in Shanxi. His son was sentenced to death by killing a man in English!
In order to buy his son's life, the old man spent 100,000 taels of silver to bribe the Ministry of Justice, picked a white duck and sent it to the prison, and replaced his son.
This is the very famous "slaughtering white duck" in the Qing Dynasty!
What is a white duck? It is the poor who cannot survive, who sell their lives to rich people and impersonate scapegoats in death row!
The Ministry of Justice has a special underground industry to do this business. According to the complexity of the lawsuit, it takes slaughtering white ducks from 50,000 to 200,000 taels at a time!
A two-century-old store, guaranteed reputation, and is free from deception!
Today, Mr. Niu took on a big deal, slaughtering a white duck of 100,000 taels, and in the end he could get more than 20,000 taels. He was in a great mood and couldn't help but drink a few more drinks!
People! A greedy cup will make things happen! He forgets what this place is and what his identity is!
Without caring about the obstruction of the people around him, Mr. Niu chased him out in a swaying manner. He wanted to find his face in front of the beauty and show his majesty as a third-rank official!
As soon as he walked out of the main hall, Sai Shishi at the second gate smiled so hard that his waist was soft, and his whole body was pressed against a middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes.
That's so intimate! He held the man's arm and kept rubbing his chest upwards. He looked at the posture and had to do a serious business tonight!
"Haha...Miss Shishi...You...you are a little unlucky...no more than giving face!"
"Why... there must be someone...come first and then...come, have a drink with me..."
He hit him head-on and reached out to grab the game. A minister of the Ministry of Justice dared to offend Li Hongzhang's tiger beard!
Before he could touch Sai Shishi's hand, he saw a black shadow flying over. With a crisp sound, it turned out to be a hollow slap!
The guards around Li Hongzhang were all veterans who came out of the sea of blood. The slap directly took off one of the back teeth of Shilang Niu!
The wine suddenly woke up, "Ah! You dare to hit someone... Do you know who I am? You are finished, you are finished!"
Sai Shishi looked at him in disgust and whispered in Li Hongzhang's ear, "The third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice..."
Li Hongzhang was too lazy to pay attention to such a drunkard and said indifferently, "I'll find a few people to participate in him tomorrow! Send him home to take care of his old age..."
A word broke his official career, and the eyes of the Minister Niu Shilu showed horror, "You...Who are you?"
Sai Shishi mixed with Li Hongzhang and entered his back house, washed soup and bought wine and food for Dashuai. A secret door suddenly opened in her kitchen.
"I'm paying homage to my mother!" Sai Shishi knelt down respectfully, and the opposite was her guide, Jasmine Mama Sang!
Moli, the owner of the Lin Xian Pavilion, walked to the kitchen window and frowned and thought for a long time, "I can't explain it? Even if Li Hongzhang wants a woman, there is no need to come here in person?"
"As he is, sending a post here, you have to come to serve him, why should he come here in person? I'm afraid there is only one explanation!"
"He is going to be self-deprecating! I heard that the emperor and Prince Gong are trying to win him over. When he has no choice, the best way is to mistake himself..."
"Yes, if you make yourself a bad person, you can stop those who want to reuse him!"
"Help him help him. Since he wants to be self-deprecating, he will be more famous!"
Sai Shishi is such a smart person. He understood as soon as he heard it. She put down the bowls and chopsticks and walked back to the front yard to look at the helpless and frightened Mr. Niu, and said disdainfully.
"What's going on? Are you still staying here and not leaving? You are a high-ranking official in the court. You are all third-ranked and don't have any insights or price?"
"I don't even know the news that Li Hongzhang and Li Shuai returned to Beijing. How do you become an official? Haha, go back and wait for the sect..."
Ah! Everyone around was sensational. "Oh... no wonder I look so familiar! I didn't even recognize it today without wearing official uniforms!"
"Let's go... don't bother the Lord's good dream. It seems that this old cow is going to be cold!"
It turns out that the world is vast and the most powerful, with military power. There are more first-rank officials in the capital, and there are dozens of people who count from the first-rank.
But you must always remember that the most powerful person with a gun in his hand, and this commander who is almost half a warlord in his independent army is even more powerful!
The people in this yard are all small characters, so how dare you fight Li Hongzhang head-on? They all left in shame!
The news that Li Hongzhang stayed at Sai Shishi's house at night spread throughout Sijiu City early the next morning. Prince Gong frowned after hearing this, and said nothing but told his son not to provoke him again in the future.
After hearing the news, Emperor Tongzhi looked gloomy for a long time, "Idiot, isn't this intentional way to give someone else a handle? I want to praise you, but you don't know how to praise you!"
"Is this the good minister recommended by my mother to me?"
"Wait... Li Hongzhang can't be so impatient, no matter how unwise Li Hongzhang is, should he? Who doesn't want a woman in his identity? Come on, let's go to Chuxiu Palace!"
Seeing Cixi Zaichun expressing her doubts, Cixi said without even thinking about it, "Hey... After all, this Han people are not the same as us!"
"Li Hongzhang is trying to protect himself! Do you know what he did before he went to find a woman last night? He went to find the foreign devil Gordon you valued!"
"Haha... If you guess correctly, Gordon will have to come to the palace to see you later... He will not help you lead troops, so don't dream!"
Zaichun felt a chill in his heart, "Li Hongzhang actually dared to threaten Gordon? Does Gordon have a handle in his hands?"
"My son! Let's think about it carefully. After so many years of war, who has no one has the right to do? Do you really think they are all good people!"
"Go and think about the truth here!"
