Although the Qing Dynasty had always been playing the fool, most of the imperial government's news were sealed off against the citizens. In many of the more remote places, they did not even know that the Qing Empire had fought with the British.

However, this policy absolutely did not include the Beijing, which was the most well-informed place in the world. The Baji was just a small trumpet, and anything that happened in the imperial government could be spread out.

Lin Zexu had clearly blocked the British battleship in Guangdong, and the battle ended in a draw. But the other places, Hai Bing couldn't do it, and was beaten up all the way to Tianjin.

He was the leader of the peace talks and had the highest ranking of all the officials. The rest of the people, including Ying Ying, Niu Lin, and Yi Li Bu, all had to listen to his orders.

This matter could not be hidden from the well-informed citizens of the capital.

A lot of people had already applauded Mu Zhanga being ousted from his position as Emperor of Xian Feng, and after that, Salonga was just a useless gambler, the smokers were all retribution for his lack of morals!

Today was even more enjoyable. They had finally expropriated their family. In just a little more than ten years, their family had been completely wiped out. It seemed that there would no longer be any members of the Mu Party in the capital anymore.

Li Tuo did not bother with the people on the streets, he just wanted the information to be spread out. At the moment, the noise in the courtyard had already spread to the backyard, and the voices of the female servants could be heard.

Li Tuo frowned and said: "Let us brothers clean up a bit. I won't stop you from getting rich, how dare you touch a woman? Don't do anything wicked! "

Isha cupped her fists and said, "Yes! Lord! "I'll go to the back and keep an eye on the back …"

"Mm …" Isha, you have to look carefully, you do not need to pay attention to gold and silver objects, but you have to look through anything that has a character, remember this well!

"Ah …" Rest assured master, I understand! "

Isha brought her men and ran to the back of the house. Li Tuo just walked around slowly, house by house, sighing about the tragic scene of a broken house.

Every single room was kicked open, all the soldiers of minister of nine city gates threw out the doors, and those who slept in were all thrown out. It was already very cold in the late autumn, and many people just knelt in the cold wind, shivering.

The experienced servants of the Shuntian Palace rushed into the corners of the house to search carefully. They all knew what to take and what not to take.

The scattered silver taels and strings of small money were all given to the soldiers. The women's jewelry was the easiest to take out, such as jade thumb rings, jade pendant snuff bottles, etc. They could also be kept in their pockets.

However, there were some things that needed to be taken care of, so they could not be taken as they pleased.

The four treasures of a writing room, the calligraphy and painting of a letter, the porcelain antiques with great origins … If he couldn't count it, then there must be some story. If he couldn't count the words, then there must be some evidence. If he didn't dare to touch it, then he must make a book for the adults to read.

"No wonder everyone says that rights are good... Those who have not personally copied their families will not understand! " Li Tuo could not help but let out a sigh.

As they got closer to the inner chamber, the number of maids and maids kneeling in the courtyard increased. The 'Flowerfall Gate' was a forbidden area that prevented men from entering, but no one could stop them today.

Many of the maidservants' clothes were half-covered. It was obvious that the soldier had some cheap stuff on his hands. This was something that could not be helped.

Arriving at the Inner Palace, Salonga's wife and concubine were kneeling under the osmanthus tree as they surrounded the mistress. Salonga's wife and concubine did not have any intentions of fighting for the concubine's life anymore, they were all hugging each other and warming themselves, looking at Li Tuo who had walked in with a face full of fear.

"With such cold weather, we can't let the ladies freeze! "National law is national law, but don't we have to be virtuous in our own hands?"

"Ah …" Milord, benevolence and righteousness … He threw out a batch of dog skin mattresses, torn blankets and ordinary clothes to prevent the ladies from freezing. "Hahaha!"

Li Tuo never thought that there would actually be a child who drank milk here.

"Lord, please be merciful …" Please give me a brazier shelter from the wind... My master's daughter is only at the full moon, she really can't be frozen! "" No, no

It was only after he asked that he found out that one of Salonga's concubines had just given him a daughter. At that time, the daughters of his concubines also didn't have any status, so there was definitely no wine to celebrate.

"Why do you say that …" "Somebody, clean this room and light a charcoal fire so that the women can take the wind away!"

"Ladies and gentlemen …" I'll tell you the truth... Master Salonga stole the Heavenly King's Golden Seal from the Military Intelligence Service … "

Inside the palace, Eunuch Li is leading people to interrogate the other eunuchs and little Sura! "We already have the confessions …"

"I advise the various madam to quickly ask where Master Salonga has gone to … If we had found him earlier on, we would have suffered a little less! "

When they heard that the manager's master had committed such a crime, the women all held their heads and cried, "The Heavenly Bodhisattva of the Emperor …" How did he manage to steal all the way to the inner palace? "This is Heaven Destroying Our Family …"

"Lord, don't ask us …" We women won't step out of the door of our house, we really can't control the old master … We really don't know what he's doing at night. "

Li Tuo waved his hand, "Alright … So what if you don't know? Since the Beijing is so big, the minister of nine city gates and the others can't escape if they want to capture him … "

After Li Tuo arranged a group of women, Isha respectfully brought over an armchair and placed it in the courtyard. "Master, please rest for a while. The first batch has already been written, let me take a look immediately."

He sat on the teacher's chair in Salonga's house, and on the tea table beside him was the top grade dragon group that Salonga had stored away.

After this night, Isha was completely convinced of Li Tuo's capabilities. He was originally Old Zhang Jing from the Military Intelligence Service, and his knowledge and experience were much greater than his own.

Furthermore, Li Tuo was not bad at all, he knew that his master was relatively lax, and would often treat him to food or conversation with him with a polite smile.

The key thing was that tonight, looking at his attitude towards the girls, especially at the newborn child, it seemed that Li Tuo was naturally kind-hearted. If he were to follow this kind of person, he would definitely not lose out!

Although Isha was born and raised in Chengde, he was still born and raised in a family with a red flag around. He was born and bred in Beijing, so she had very little experience in the capital, otherwise, she would not have made such a low level mistake like peeping into the inner palace.

Seeing Li Tuo's imposing manner, which was as steady as Mt. Tai, Isha immediately had the thought of pledging allegiance to them. Let alone Li Tuo, who was a Chinese, so what if he was a Chinese? If he really had the ability, then he was stronger than the fallen Eight Banners!

"Lord …" "It's late at night and the weather is cold. A wolf-skin cloak was found here. Please put it on to block the wind …" Isha respectfully brought over a black cloak with wolf skin.

Li Tuo touched his hair and sighed, "The worm didn't die a stiff death! No matter what, Mu Zhanga was still a first rank official, the popular figure in front of Master Daoguang … The family background is still there! "

"If it wasn't for the fact that this Salonga smoked a lot, he would have gambled a lot … How could he have fallen to such a state? He had to rely on stealing to survive … "It's just a wolf-skin cloak. Normally, we don't have such a cloak at home. Look at its oily color, it's really good skin …"
