Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C1168 The Fifth Master of the Capital

Regardless of whether Xiao Letian was willing or not, he had to lower his head to reality. He could now use the wealth he had accumulated previously.

Now that the problem is, we can confirm that Xiao Letian is secretly collecting gold, so does that mean that there is a Gold Collection Vault that is currently storing ten tons or more of wealth?

Sakamoto Ryoma had only given his a hint at the end, but this hint already made the imperial court and the British intelligence agencies flabbergasted. So there was actually such an explanation for the ten tons of gold that was rumored to be true?

Ten tons of gold is three hundred and fifty thousand ounces! The conversion was as high as £1.365 million. The British gold standard was opened in 1821, when a legal pound was worth 7.32,238 grams of gold.

Ten tons of gold was nothing to the finances of the British Empire, but it was nothing to the usurping empire.

But to Russia, who was under the pressure of the abolitionist movement's funds, ten tons of gold was no less than a lifesaving straw. To an overly hungry person, a single strand of noodles was definitely not enough to satisfy their hunger.

The British spies who received the latest information quickly shared it with the French, and then the French quickly communicated with Molière, which also included the conversation between Molière and the commander of the Russia, and also the interrogation of Yang Zhi in the Forbidden City.

He did not say much, and only sighed as he said, "The information is still not detailed enough. Originally, Sakamoto Ryoma's ranking within the CIA was higher than mine, and even if he had guessed it earlier, I wouldn't have had any accurate information …"

"If Esteemed Empress Dowager wants to give me an opinion, please allow me to go back and think it over carefully. Furthermore, please send me a telegram containing all the information I have. Otherwise, it'll be very difficult for me to give any suggestions …"

Ci Xi and the rest were a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, Yang Zhi had already been away from the Ryukyu for a long time, so he couldn't possibly know too much about the latest news.

After leaving the Forbidden City, Yang Zhi rode his horse all the way south, straight to the most famous coquettish alley out of the eight major lanes. When he asked around for the name "tigress", everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Brother!" Proceeding forward, counting down to the second house, the small courtyard that only had half a door open on the left was the home of the tigress … "But let me remind you, if you want to go there, you have to bring enough silver …"

Yang Zhi did not think too much about it. He cupped his hands in thanks and then spurred his horse forward, quickly arriving at the so-called tigress' house.

At the door, a twelve or thirteen year old girl was sitting on a stool, eating a melon seed. At the door, a twelve or thirteen year old girl sat on a stool, eating a melon seed, shaking her head and looking at the people on the street.

Yang Zhi stepped forward and said with a smile: "May I ask Miss, this is the home of the tigress …" Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud crash from the small yard behind the door, followed by the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.

Peering through the crack in the door, one could see a tall man in her thirties wearing an ordinary old sheepskin jacket, riding on the body of a noble young master wearing a fox fur coat.

"F * ck you, aren't you the nephew of the Prince Li's family? Just a small steward in the clan dared to act arrogantly in front of the Fifth Master? What's going on … You're not happy about asking you for a quarter of the profit? "This grandpa will teach you a lesson …"

Good heavens! This fist was truly ruthless. Every single move of his could be heard screaming in agony. Yang Zhi didn't rub the sand in his eyes. With one look at that kid who had been beaten up, the jadeite snuff bottle rolling in the snow, and the green jade thumb ring, it was obvious that this wasn't something ordinary people could use.

It wasn't that they were against the rules, but that they couldn't protect themselves just because they didn't have the identity to do so.

Wearing clothes, wearing a hat, playing with some things, and even taking a sedan, there were all sorts of rules. There was also a set of rules in the officials' office, and there was also a set of rules in the flagman's house.

This brat actually dared to bring a set of real items after being beaten up. This showed that his status could definitely suppress a set of treasures, maybe he really was Prince Li's nephew.

"Ouch …" Lord Fifth showed mercy … Aiyo! Lord Fifth raised his hand high! Don't cross your fist... Be careful of your hands! "How can my lowly flesh match up to your fist …"

Yang Zhi was startled, but then the little girl laughed out loud: "No wonder Lord Fifth hit him, you deserved it!"

The man wearing the torn sheepskin jacket was also forced to laugh. "Come on …" Brat, you're so damn single! I won't beat you up. Since you've been beaten up by me, I'll take some of your profits! "Remember, I'll give you three days. One less day, I'll come and beat you up …"

"Oh my god, is there some sort of wire wrapped around your braids?" F * ck, you really did it. Who are you trying to scare by braiding a centipede? What are you pretending to be a son of a bitch in front of the Fifth Master? "

The old sheepskin was dressed in the clothes of the Fifth Master. She extended her hand and untied the braids of her nephew. A sweet smell of orchid oil wafted through the yard, followed by a long wire being pulled out and thrown through the wall.

"Get lost!" Remember to come to the tigress' place in the future and bring me enough silver … "Bah!"

At this moment, the servant who had been beaten up only dared to come over and help him clean up the mess on the ground. After beating him up a few times and kowtowing, he sent Master back home.

When the group of people passed Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi realised that this brat looked familiar. He had seen this kid in the sect once from afar, although he didn't say anything, his identity shouldn't be wrong.

Aiyo? Who was this Lord Fifth? Beating up Prince Li's nephew to such a state, and not even giving him a chance to talk back? How deep was the water in the capital?

"Ai ai ai …" That kid at the door, are you going to come in or get lost? Don't step on the door frame... Haven't you heard the old saying? Let the men roam the streets, the women trample on the doorframe... You little rascal! "

Hahaha … The courtyard was filled with laughter, only then did Yang Zhi realise that the rooms on both sides were filled with people, the sounds of gambling could be heard, and a faint smell of smoke and ointment could be smelled.

Yang Zhi did not understand that this was the casino? Big smokestack? Or was it the brothel's half covered door? However, he knew that this Lord Fifth was not to be trifled with.

I am Yang Zhi. Upon receiving Brother Li Tuo's invitation, I have come to see tigress … This is my first time here, and I don't know the rules here.

With a "pa" sound, the Fifth Master slapped his forehead: "You are Yang Zhi? "Ai ai ai …" This is really our first time meeting you. Li Tuo is in the backyard, we were waiting for you! "

"F * ck, I forgot to introduce him. My surname is Aixin Chuoluo, his name is Yi Cong … I am Yi Nan and Yi Xuan, the fifth brother of the two little brats, and I am the fifth son of Master Dao Guang, the trash of the capital who does not hold back … "

"The capital's Fifth Master, he's talking about me!"

"Hiss …" Yang Zhi couldn't help but take half a step back and sigh to himself, "Damn, what a big shark! Xian Feng was the fourth eldest son of Master Daoguang, and this was the fifth brother of Daoguang. Yi Nan was the sixth brother, while Yi Xuan was the seventh brother … Why is this fellow together with Li Tuo? "
