Kowloon wins

Chapter 853
"Impossible, this is impossible. Eldest brother must be talking nonsense, Huang Ama. I think that elder brother is talking nonsense to deceive the public. He has ulterior motives!"

Facing Hong Qing's fierce offensive, Hong Xi obviously couldn't bear it any longer. Looking at the expression of understanding on Emperor Chengde's face again, his heart must have sunk to the bottom, but he didn't want to admit defeat just yet. Probably because he couldn't afford to lose, in a panic, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he screamed regardless.

"That's right, make up a story to fool anyone, I don't believe it!"

Master Shi was rough-tempered and courageous, he didn't even care that this was Yuqian, he shook his big head, and bluffed along with him nonchalantly.

"Huang Ama, my son also thinks that this may not be true!"

When Shi Ye yelled like this, Seventh Brother immediately followed suit.

"Yeah, that's all out of the ordinary, we've never heard of it!"

"That's true. Who knows the truth of those barbarian stories."

"How can fabricated words be true!"

……

Logically speaking, Hong Qing's explanation is difficult to find a point to attack at all. There is only one point that can turn the tables, and that is to deny the existence of such facts. Realizing this, Dang even made a fuss again.

"Well, is there any evidence for what Qing'er said?"

Although Emperor Chengde believed in his heart that Hong Qing's words would definitely not be free from nonsense, but since he was going to be an arbitrator, he naturally couldn't show any partiality, but seeing Emperor Chengde pressed his hand, he let out a soft sigh, He stopped the fuss of the officials, then looked at Hong Qing with a slight frown, and asked a question in a peaceful voice.

"Huihuang Ama's words, what my son said is true, and it is not difficult to prove it. The files kept by the 'Eight Banners Company' contain all the facts that my son said. This is my 'Eight Banners Company' Reliable news from many sources of inquiry. As early as a few years ago, the details of the barbarians who occupied Nanyang have been found out. If Huang Ama doesn't believe it, he can ask Uncle Fifteen to bring all the files, and he can see the authenticity at a glance. .”

Hong Qing dared to raise this matter in public during the court meeting, so naturally it would not be without evidence. In fact, Hong Qing had issued a secret order as early as when the "Eight Banners Company" sailed to Nanyang for the first time, requiring The "sharp knife" people placed in the firm infiltrated Nanyang and collected various intelligence information, and established two archives for this purpose. One is owned by the firm and has a lower level of confidentiality. It can be checked, and the other is the confidential archives of "Sharp Knife", which can only be accessed by the high-level "Sharp Knife". Like the dirty deeds in Spain and other countries, the level of confidentiality is actually not high. There is a clear record in the library, and others may not care about it. Even if they know about it, they may not go to check it, especially the top officials present are unlikely to care about the company's archives. Records, but Hongqing is not the case. Having experienced the baptism of the era of information explosion in later generations, Hongqing understands the importance of information collection and organization better than anyone else, not only the information in the confidential archives, but even the information in the company archives. Hong Qing has read all the cumbersome records. With her powerful memory, remembering such information is nothing more than a common thing.

"Fifteenth brother."

Hearing Hong Qing's words were so convincing, Emperor Chengde believed a little bit more, but he still didn't rush to make a verdict, but turned his attention to the old fifteen who stood silently in the crowd, his tone He gave his name peacefully.

"The younger brother is here!"

Hearing Emperor Chengde's roll call, Old Fifteen didn't dare to neglect, hurried out from the side, and promised loudly.

"Fifteenth brother, is what Qing'er said earlier true?"

Emperor Chengde was still very polite to the fifteenth old man, and the tone of his questions was quite warm, without putting on the airs of an emperor at all.

"Returning to Your Majesty, what Prince Ren said earlier is true. The strategies and steps adopted by Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and even the Kingdom of Great Britain when they occupied the countries in Southeast Asia are all exactly the same as what Prince Ren said. Regarding this, I, Eight Banners As early as eight years ago, the company name has been verified by many parties. The two file numbers of 'D and C' in the company's archives are clearly recorded. If your majesty wants to verify it, the younger brother can send someone to pick it up immediately. Come."

Old fifteen has never been interested in being an official, and he is not very willing to mess around with your brothers. He is very interested in managing companies. He was in charge of the "Kirin Company" in his early years, and later he was in charge of such a "Eight Banners Company" Big Mac, no matter how big or small it is, is concerned about everything, and he knows all kinds of information collected by the firm. In terms of familiarity, it is even stronger than Hong Qing, and even the relevant file numbers can be He will come out casually, which shows that he is serious about doing things on weekdays.

"Well, if the fifteenth brother said that there is, then it must be there. I can trust this one, and I will submit the file later."

The old 15-year-old Zhi is not in the court, but he holds the core lifeline of the "Eight Banners Firm", the core lifeline of the Eight Banners, and his influence among the Eight Banners is unparalleled. Emperor Chengde knows this well It is very clear that in the past, he had favored Lao Shiwu very much, and he had been looking forward to using Lao Shiwu for his own use. Now, he would not raise any objections to Lao Shiwu's words. Yan comforted the old fifteen.

"My brother obeys the order."

Although Old Fifteen is not good at words, he is a shrewd person in essence. He can understand Emperor Chengde's intention to please Emperor Chengde, but he doesn't intend to accept it. In his life, he only admired Hong Qing alone. As for the others, even if Emperor Chengde was an emperor, Old Fifteen didn't take it very seriously. Of course, with Old Fifteen's cautious temperament, it was impossible With his mind on his face, he just responded to Emperor Chengde's comforting words in a businesslike manner, and then stepped aside.

"I have made up my mind. Prince Ren is solely responsible for the negotiations with the Kingdom of Great Britain. Others are not allowed to interfere. If there is any violation, they will be punished as the crime of resisting the order!"

Emperor Chengde is worthy of being a good dancer with long sleeves. At the beginning, he planned to take advantage of this matter to suppress Hongqing, but when he saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately changed his course and planned to be an impartial arbitrator. Ming, Emperor Chengde did not have the slightest ambiguity, and made the verdict straightforwardly.

"Thank you, Empress Ama, for your kindness. My son will definitely do his best, and he will not dare to betray the great trust of Emperor Ama."

Since Emperor Chengde said so, Hongqing must express his loyalty quickly, but he never mentioned the bet with the third elder brother earlier, there is no other way, let the third elder brother appear in court last time. Ugly, the purpose of teaching him a lesson has already been achieved, and if he asks Hong Xi to sit back aggressively, it will be somewhat unkind, and it will be very detrimental to winning the hearts of the courtiers. Such a stupid thing, Hong Qing is right won't do it.

"Huang Ama, my son heard that the third brother insisted on betting against the eldest brother, and he said that if he loses, he should sit back. This statement is especially ringing in my ears. I'm afraid it can't be counted?"

Since the third elder brother got mixed up with the eighth master, he has acted quite high-profile in the government and the public. He has offended many people, young and old. After a while, he saw that the fourth elder brother Hongjing had strode out from the side, bowed to Emperor Chengde, and asked a question in a loud voice.

"Om..."

As soon as the fourth elder brother said such words, the crowd in the hall suddenly became chaotic again, and the noise was as loud as if it was a vegetable market.

Fuck me, this guy is really capable of causing trouble, he is trying to create hatred for us, hey, he really is a careless master!
Hong Qing is such a shrewd person, just by listening to it, he understood Hong Jing's intention to stand out at this moment. This is not to help Hong Qing speak, but to make the hatred between Hong Qing and Hong Xi public The purpose is to let Hongxi fight Hongqing to the end, so that she can gain power in the chaos. Such intentions are really insidious.

"Do you have anything to say about this, Qing'er?"

Being made such a fuss by the fourth elder brother, Emperor Chengde couldn't help but feel a headache for it, nothing else, although Emperor Chengde was quite dissatisfied with the third elder brother and the eighth master getting together, but he was still very unhappy with the third elder brother himself. Appreciate it, I originally planned to find a time to wake up the third elder brother after this section was revealed, and I don’t want to punish the third elder brother seriously at this time. Dedi couldn't be indifferent, so in desperation, he had no choice but to play Tai Chi pushing hands, pushing the hot potato towards Hong Qing.

"Returning to Huang Ama, my son thought that the third brother cared about the current affairs, and his intentions were good, but he was a little bit extreme in his handling of things, and he said some exaggerated words, but it was also due to his youthful vigor. Empress Ma is lenient."

Emperor Chengde's carelessness is so obvious, how can Hong Qing fail to see it, but he doesn't care too much, so he replied softly, seemingly pleading for Hong Xi, In fact, it is for Emperor Chengde to punish Hongxi for his reckless behavior—the so-called inappropriate punishment means that punishment must be given. As for how to punish, let Emperor Chengde decide for himself up.

"Well, Qing'er has always treated people leniently, and I take this one very seriously. However, since Xi'er was at fault in this matter first, if no punishment is given, the court's law will be in vain. That's good, I will let you go." Discuss with the clan mansion, what kind of punishment there should be, and let the clan mansion decide."

Although Emperor Chengde wanted to protect Hongxi, but Hongqing had already expressed his position in this way. Emperor Chengde did not want to do it too obviously. Disposal results.

"Huang Ama Shengming, my son has no objection."

Having won such an imperial court case, the purpose of teaching Hong Xi a lesson has been achieved. As for the additional punishments later, they are just extras. It’s okay to have them, and it’s okay not to have them. Hong Qing can see it Very happy, I will not have any objection to Emperor Chengde's words, so I hurriedly praised...
