The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 29 How come there are demons falling from the sky? (Please collect and read)

Inside the Imperial Commissioner's Office in Guilin City, the old minister Sai Shang Asai took the petition from He Chun and Jiang Zhongyuan and read it for a while before exclaiming, "How could there be a demon descending from the sky?"

Then there was a "bang" sound. Saishang Asai, who was white and plump and known for his good temper, became angry. He slapped the report in his hand onto the table, pointed at Yuanbao angrily and started to scold him: "Yuanbao! You concealed your defeat and claimed victory, killed innocent people to take credit, and exaggerated your achievements. For the sake of the overall situation, I will tolerate it and cover up for you, but you can't create a demon from the sky, can you?

How can I write a memorial to the emperor when a demon descends from the sky? Are He Chun and Jiang Zhongyuan crazy about making meritorious deeds? "

Yuan Bao was well prepared. He took off the big bag on his back and explained with a smile, "Zhongtang, there is really a thief in the sky on the Changmao side! The commander and Jiang Fuzun did not lie. They only dared to add some water to the battle report. How dare they deceive the emperor about whether there is a demon behind the Changmao? And how wise is the emperor? Can he be fooled by this matter?
Zhongtang, please look at this."

As Yuanbao spoke, he had already taken off the bundle and held it in his hands.

Sai Shang'a's face darkened as soon as he saw it: "Yuanbao, what do you mean? Are you trying to bribe me?"

Yuan Bao quickly shook his head and said, "Zhongtang, please don't misunderstand me. How could I bribe you? Everyone in the world knows that you are an honest official, a great honest official. If I bribe you, wouldn't that be a trap for me?"

"So what's in your bag?" Sai Shang'a's expression softened a little.

"It's evidence, and it could also be a magic weapon."

"What evidence? What magic weapon?" Sai Shang'a became more and more confused the more he listened.

"It is the evidence that proves there are thieves in the sky and demons on the earth. This evidence may also be a magic weapon!" Yuan Bao said as he placed the bundle on the coffee table next to Sai Shang'a and gently untied the bundle, revealing the packaging bag of the mooncake gift box inside.

"Is this a magic weapon?" Sai Shang'a was also surprised when he saw the mooncake gift box bag.

Isn’t this so beautiful?
He reached out and touched it. It was very smooth, but he didn't know what material it was made of.
"Zhongtang, the magic weapon is in the bag!"

Sai Shang'a reached into the bag and took out a stack of "butt wipes". He squinted his eyes and looked at it. He was familiar with this "butt wipe". It was Rishengchang's "butt wipe". It was very useful!

But now this matter
When Sai Shang'a was hesitating, Yuan Bao spoke again: "Zhongtang, the magic weapon is still downstairs."

Is there really a magic weapon? Then I'll put the "butt tissue" away for now. Thinking of this, Sai Shang'a reached into the bag again and took out a mooncake gift box from "Lianxianglou".

“This.” Sai Shang’a was a little surprised now, “That’s it.”

"Zhongtang, this is the treasure that fell from the demon when I was fighting with him. Look at this box. Even the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot make it. Look at the lid. I don't know what kind of magic was used to seal it. And the words on the box are Western numbers. It is a Western calendar. It is the 1889th year of the birth of their Western brother Tian, ​​which is 37 years later! This means that this box of mooncakes was made 37 years later!"

"What? Thirty-seven years later? How is that possible?" Sai Shang Adu was confused. He just held the mooncake box and looked at it over and over again. "Yuan Bao, is this really brought down by the demon from heaven?"

"Of course!" Yuan Bao said, "I saw with my own eyes this demon riding on a purple thunderbolt and a flying car, descending from the sky!"

"Riding purple thunder and flying car" Sai Shang'a frowned, "Is it true? What does this demon look like?"

When Yuan Bao heard this, he immediately took out a picture of "Demons and Magic Figures from Heaven" drawn by Master Zhou of Hechun, and handed it to Sai Shang'a with both hands. When Sai Shang'a unfolded the picture and took a look, he was shocked: "Oh my, how come this is a Bull Demon King riding a two-wheeled vehicle?"

"This is the original form of the demon!" Yuan Bao said, "I fought with this demon for three rounds!"

"Why only three rounds?" Sai Shang'a asked casually, "Who won?"

"Of course the demon won!" Yuan Bao didn't dare to say that the "demon" was knocked unconscious after the car collision with him - that would make the "demon" seem not powerful, and the long-haired thieves would keep getting more and more, wouldn't that make everyone seem incompetent?
"But when the demon was fighting me, I accidentally dropped this box of mooncakes and I picked it up," Yuan Bao said with a smile, "Although I didn't beat the demon, I didn't suffer any loss."

"Then you are quite lucky," Sai Shang'a said, turning his head to look at Xiang Rong who looked sick, "Xinran, what do you think?"

"Xinran" is Xiang Rong's pen name. This old general Xiang is 60 years old this year. He has worked hard for the Qing Dynasty all his life. He climbed to the high position of admiral by acting as a selected vanguard many times. He thought he could live a life of wealth and glory until the end. But he didn't expect to meet a group of long-haired thieves who "have a father in heaven". This group of people are not only well-trained and disciplined, but also not afraid of death in battle! Shouting "Kill the Qing monsters, go to heaven", they charged forward. They killed the Qing monsters while alive and went to heaven after death!
The group of "double-gun soldiers" under Xiang Rong have not been completely wiped out against this group of desperate lunatics, and they can even win and lose. This is enough to show how high General Xiang's skill in using troops is.

But the emperor in Beijing did not understand his difficulties in asking the military commander for help, and believed the slander of Xu Guangjin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and wanted to exile him to Xinjiang. He was already sixty years old and was still sick. Could he come back after going to Xinjiang?
No, I have to work harder to deceive the emperor!
Thinking of this, Xiang Rong gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Master, I think this long-haired thief must have the help of demons in heaven! Don't they always shout 'Kill the demons and go to heaven' every time they go into battle?

Besides, Zhongtang, have you forgotten that when we recaptured Yongan Prefecture, we also captured a long-haired leader named Hong Daquan? We can ask him whether there are any demons on the top of the long-haired leader!"

Having said that, Xiang Rong winked at Yuan Bao again.

Yuan Bao immediately understood Xiang Rong's intention and volunteered, "Master, let me go and interrogate Hong Daquan for you!"

"Okay!" Sai Shang'a nodded, stroking his beard and said, "Go and interrogate him carefully, then send him to Beijing City and take him to Caishikou! If we don't interrogate him well, he won't be able to leave Guilin City!"

"I understand the humble position!"

Sai Shang'a waved his hand and asked Yuan Bao to retreat.

As soon as Yuan Bao left, Xiang Rong came up to him and asked with a sad face, "Zhongtang, what do you think about this matter?"

Sai Shang'aze held the mooncake gift box and looked at it again and again: "You know what, this is really not an ordinary item!" Then he put down the mooncake gift box, picked up the "Bull Demon King Riding a Bicycle Picture", and looked at it again, "If the emperor believes it, then our sin of fighting for a long time without success can be offset!"

"Then should I still go to Xinjiang?" Xiang Rong asked pitifully.

"Why are you still going?" Sai Shang'a waved the "Bull Demon King Riding a Bicycle Picture" in his hand, "The Bull Demon King is already there in Changmao. Why don't you lead your troops to Quanzhou to slay the demons? I will ask the emperor for a grace to make amends for your crime."

When Xiang Rong heard this, tears started to flow, and he knelt down in front of Sai Shang'a, "This time, I will definitely go through fire and water for the court and for you, the Lord Prime Minister. I will not return until I kill the Bull Demon!"

"Okay!" Sai Shang'a pointed at the Bull Demon King on the picture, "Remember your words, we must eliminate this great harm for the emperor and the court!"

"twitter!"

Xiang Rong's "Zha" was loud and clear, but the old man was clear in his mind. He couldn't beat the "Bull Demon King"! Not to mention the Bull Demon King, even Princess Iron Fan and Red Boy, Xiang Rong couldn't beat them!
Xiang Junmen thought: I must be smart and find out where the Bull Demon King is first. Then I can avoid this demon and fight him.
