Chapter 74
Inside the Summer Palace
In the grand theater building of Deheyuan, Lafayette's favorite play, "Shiro Visits His Mother", is being played.

Seeing the princess stealing the arrow,

I can't help but feel happy in my palace,
stand at the palace gate,

Call Xiaofan——

"Okay! Award!" Lafayette couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the high-pitched and clear voice of the opera performers on the stage, and told his left and right, this troupe is good, and it deserves an award!

Saving people by play, and thinking about his son who is not his own son, Lafayette is a little worried, forget it!

"Lafayette! Prince Qing Yikuang has been waiting at the door for almost half an hour." The eunuch surnamed Li stepped forward and said to the queen mother, Lafayette, who was in a good mood after listening to the play.

"Xuan!" Immediately, Lafayette said to himself, "In my opinion, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only Prince Qing knows the Ai family best, knows that the Ai family is working hard for the state affairs every day, and finally takes a short break, so he can't bear to disturb him." .” I am very satisfied with Yikuang’s understanding.

"Kowtow to the Empress Dowager Lafayette!"

"Be flat!"

"twitter!"

"Tell me, what's the matter with finding Ai's family this time." Queen Mother Lafayette asked.

"Earlier, didn't the Empress Dowager Lafayette say that Gong Baosen can't be reused, and his subordinates can't manage it well? The slaves have recruited you." Yikuang said with a flattering face and a smile.

"Tell me!" Lafayette said in a quiet voice, wearing a long armor on his left ring finger and little finger, and took a sip of the scented tea served in front of him.

"I wonder if Lafayette still remembers Zhu Kaishan." Yikuang asked cautiously.

"Remember, isn't it Gong Baosen's senior brother who hid in Qilu? I really thought he let him go back then, and the Ai family didn't seem to know about it. Although the sticky place is gone..." Lafayette didn't say anything next .

But since the Qing Dynasty, in view of the lessons learned by the Ming Dynasty’s spy agencies, although they are like Jinyiwei and Dongxichang’s institutions on the surface, the rulers are not fools. They have loyal people who collect all kinds of information for them. For example, the sticky place of the fourth master came to Jiaqing, Heshen was killed, and the sticky place was cleaned.Later, in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Xianfeng set up an "Intelligence Collection and Editing Office" in order to suppress and deal with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. She is Xianfeng's concubine, and this person is now in her hands.

In recent years, foreigners have drawn maps of the Qing Dynasty and explored the mineral resources of the Qing Dynasty. Doesn’t Lafayette know about it?
Then you are too naive. The power in her hands is the predecessor of the second department of the Military Advisory Office, the first modern spy agency in Chinese history, which was established during Xuantong.

She can be regarded as well-versed in affairs in the capital, especially those around her.

"The Empress Dowager Lafayette has insight into the details, and the slaves can't do it!" Yi Kuang flattered.

"Tell me! What's the trick? I think this Gong Baosen can't even control his own guards, so he should change." Lafayette said dissatisfied.Li Cunyi can be regarded as a master of the guards in the palace, his resignation means that the power to protect Lafayette has been reduced by a point, no wonder she is happy.

"The son of Zhu Kaishan came to see me! He said that Zhu Kaishan was exhausted every day in the Kanto, and he wanted to share the worries of the court! First, he killed the bandits who robbed you of the money for repairing your garden 20 years ago, and then he was responsible for defending the land and rejecting Mongolia. The horse bandit is in the Yilan Mansion in the Hei Province. The slave is thinking, for Gong Baosen to serve you with all his heart, can you pardon Zhu Kaishan?" Yikuang said while staring at Lafayette's face, as soon as his expression changed, He didn't intend to continue talking, but fortunately, it was all over.

Regarding Zhu Kaishan's matter, his difficulty lies in Lafayette's attitude. He neither wants an official nor a name.So Yikuang, that is, hugging grass and hunting rabbits, grabbing a handful is a handful.

"This Zhu Kaishan's son dares to enter Beijing? It's really a bear's heart and a leopard's guts." Lafayette said slowly, "If Zhu Kaishan is pardoned, what should we do if foreigners start to make trouble?"

"The Russians handed over a list to the Foreign Affairs Bureau, also asking for Zhu Kaishan's pardon, saying that his son became an interpreter for the Russian Railway Bureau in Heilongjiang Province."

"This way has gone to foreigners!" Lafayette thought carefully about Yi Kuang's words.

"Arrest Zhu Kaishan's son, the imperial court will pardon him whenever he wants? By the way, beat Gong Baosen! The Gengzi Year is too chaotic, so I didn't want to argue with him, and now I jumped out!" said Lafayette After finishing, I wanted to drive around Kunming Lake. Now, it's time for her to feed the fish.

"Lafayette, I can't help it, the Russians and the Japanese are fighting, and the Russians are fighting against each other now..."

"Come here!" Lafayette said, let Yikuang come over, said a few words, and then led a group of eunuchs and maids to walk towards Kunming Lake.

……

It has been three days since the last time I met with Prince Qing Yikuang, the 3000 taels of banknotes had already been entrusted to Gong Baosen in the name of treating guests to a meal.

But now there is still no news.

Zhu Chuanwen was watching Xian'er standing in the yard practicing boxing, Gong Baosen would find time to teach Xian'er some techniques in the past two days, and Xian'er was practicing.He heard a noise at the door of his small courtyard.

The person who came was a group of Qing soldiers, the leader of whom was a petty official, wearing a crown and a feather.

"Who is Zhu Chuanwen?" the leader shouted after entering the courtyard.A menacing look.

"This military lord, I don't have any Zhu Chuanwen here." This is Lao Jiang's voice. Gong Baosen is on duty today, and Lao Jiang is dealing with the Qing soldiers at the gate, while assigning a disciple to wait outside the palace gate. , Gong Baosen told him the matter as soon as he left the palace gate.

Hearing the voice, Zhu Chuanwen knew that there was no way to hide from this incident, and thinking about his bald head, he went into the room and changed into a suit, carrying the translation documents in his pocket, and walked out the door.

"Xian'er, it's okay. When Uncle Gong comes back, I want to see what he can do. If there is nothing to do, you and Xia Chi will find a way to find the Russian Minister." Zhu Chuanwen ordered, leaving a handwritten letter to the Russian Minister For Valentin's letter, it is the last resort to find Russians to do things.

The Qing court could find out that he was at Gong Baosen's house, so he wanted to escape, but the Gong family might be implicated.Choose the lesser of the two powers, at this time, Zhu Chuanwen can only show his face.At least he felt that life should be worry-free.

"I'm Zhu Chuanwen!" Zhu Chuanwen walked out frankly outside the gate of the courtyard.

"This is Zhu Translator, right? Mr. Liu from the Criminal Department is waiting for you in the courtroom. Come with me!" The Qing soldiers looked at Zhu Chuanwen's attire, and they were not very arrogant, but in their tone, Zhu Chuanwen had to be with him. He went to the court of the Ministry of punishment.

Hall of the Ministry of Justice
"Zhu Chuanwen, are you convicted?" Because of Zhu Chuanwen's foreign status, Liu Huaizong of the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not ask him to kneel down to answer.

"I don't know what my lord said?" Zhu Chuanwen wondered in his heart, could the matter of giving bribes to Prince Qing be investigated?Impossible, the reputation of Qing's company is quite good, and now that the emperor is in the family, who would dare to investigate Prince Qing.

"Huh! Don't cry if you don't see the coffin! In mid-April, this general of Heilongjiang reported his meritorious service. Wan Yizhi, the prefect of Yilan Mansion, and Song Yu, the garrison, led 500 soldiers in the defense battalion. They desperately killed the enemy and executed more than 200 people on the spot. Capture the bandit leader Du Baoshan alive. You still dare to go to Beijing to lie about the military situation?" Liu Huaizong's face was serious.

"Fuck your mother!" Zhu Chuanwen had an incredulous expression on his face, and cursed secretly in his heart, he really underestimated the behavior of these Qing court officials!
