"Damn it, you dare to play fun with me." A crisp sound was heard. The white porcelain cover bowl of tea slammed in front of Jiao Si. The hot tea and broken porcelain pieces splattered on Jiao Si's face. Blood suddenly flowed out of the corners of his eyes.

An Dehai is going crazy. These days are so unhappy. Empress Dowager Cixi has been furious several times. Even he was slapped several times. There are two young eunuchs killed by the stick. Everyone in the entire Forbidden City is in danger.

Who is the blame for all this? It’s not the second Japanese devil Xiao Letian. How could he cause trouble? Why was it so difficult for him to surrender? It was actually a decoration for the imperial court.

And now, you Jiao Si and the Eight Banners slave dare to play with me. It seems that you really don’t want to live anymore.

An Dehai rushed up and grabbed Jiao Si's braid with his left hand and raised his life upwards. He slapped his right hand with a dozen slaps on the front and back.

"I told you to do a good job. I can't beat you to death... You said, how much money did you have to collect Xiao Letian? You didn't even want your life."

"Does Xiao Letian raise private soldiers? Did he rebel? Are you talking..."

"Is there a warship of Xiao Letian on the sea? What conspiracy does he have with foreigners? Are you mute..."

An Dehai, who had a ferocious face, beat and scolded him. In a short while, Jiao Si's mouth and nose were bleeding. His whole face was like blood.

Lian Xing and Jiao Si were still a little bit incenseful. When he saw that he was about to kill someone, he quickly persuaded him to fight. "Don't be angry. Be careful to get tired. Don't be tired of yourself... Sit down. Come and change tea..."

An Dehai was really tired of fighting. He panted and sat on the chair for a while. He pointed at Jiao Si with trembling hands, "Let's take a look. This old guy is so annoying. He doesn't even take the imperial court seriously..."

"I was wondering. Why did anyone change their relationship with Xiao Letian when they got into contact with him? A slave from the Fucha family for several generations actually forgot the favor of the court. He actually talked nonsense to me..."

Jiao Sier was now determined. He lay on the ground and cried bitterly, "Sister...Sister thanked the elder brother-in-law for rewards and beatings... But I really didn't see any problem...Woooooooo."

"I am a housekeeper. I will update it as soon as possible, which is Sifangtian in the compound. In total, I only had more than a month to see Xiao Letian. I went there to inquire about information. Uncle Lian, Eunuch An... Even if Xiao Letian raises a private army, it would not be possible for me to know..."

"As for talking about foreigners, sea boats, etc., it's even more embarrassing to slaves. I don't know about foreign languages, and I don't have sea boats. I don't know about the things on the sea..."

Jiao Si cried while defending himself. What he said was really reasonable. But what An Dehai and the others wanted was not reasonable. What they wanted was to discredit Xiao Letian's confession. When they saw that Jiao Si had no cooperation, Eunuch An was happy.

"Haha. OK... You Jiao Si are really capable. I want to see what the empress dowager will look like after hearing what you said." After that, she got up and left. She didn't care about the pleas of General Manager Lian Xing.

There were only two people left in the room, Lian Xing and Jiao Si. Lian Xing, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, sighed and pulled Jiao Si up, "Brother, have you encountered something? You really received Xiao Letian's silver. Don't be confused. Xiao Letian's silver is poisonous. If you take it, you will lose your life..."

"Is it possible? Xiao Letian has caught you with weaknesses. What are you afraid of? Xiao Letian cannot make a fuss with the support of the court..."

Even Xing's guidance was not on the point. These old men in the capital could not imagine how terrifying Xiao Letian was. They did not know how serious Xiao Letian had infiltrated the grassroots bureaucratic group of the Qing Dynasty.

Jiao Si is different. He updated the first time that he had seen Xiao Letian's relationship with foreigners. He also saw the sketches and photos of Xiao Letian when he pacified Ryukyu. He even vaguely guessed the relationship between his Tongzhi Zhou Mingkui and Xiao Letian. When he discovered that even Jingdong Tongzhou had Xiao Letian's secret stronghold, the old man had completely bowed down.

No matter how Lianxing enlightens, Jiao Si just gritted his teeth and said nothing. In the end, Lianxing lost his patience, "Okay, okay. I can't help you with your attitude. Go home and think about it behind closed doors. Then there will be an order for you..."

Jiao Si was like a soulless zombie, wandering on the streets on a winter night. When he subconsciously returned to the door of his house in a daze, he found that all his family were waiting for him in the doorman anxiously.

"Master, what's wrong with updating your face as soon as possible..." A group of people surrounded him and quickly helped Jiao Si walk back home. However, Jiao Siyi stopped when he saw Tie Harrier.

"Brother Wu...you take Hutou and leave the capital while you are at night. Let's go quickly. If it's too late, you really can't leave..."

Jiao Si put aside his stunned family and rushed into the inner house, and soon he carried the sleeping tiger head out of his back. When the iron kite took the tiger head and tied it on his back, the women all cried.

"You are unethical. Where are you going to send your grandson? What trouble do you want to do when Hutou just came back? I'm fighting with you..."

At this time, Jiao Si took out the mighty power of the head of the family and shouted, "Shut up. I can still harm Tiger Head. I am saving the life of the child... Now Sijiu City has closed the door and curfew. No one of us can escape except Tiger Head."

Jiao Si took out a handful of silver notes from his arms and handed them to Tie Yaozi. "Brother Wu. This is a little living expenses for the child in the future. Please treat you kindly..." After saying that, he lay on the ground and kowtowed.

Tie Yaozi took his three heads and then moved away from the side, "I will take your three heads. It means I will treat the tiger head well. Just leave with confidence..." After saying that, he turned his head and turned over to the room. His toes were slashing on the tiles and disappeared like a gust of wind.

The two women collapsed on the ground and their eyes were dull, "What's wrong? Why did you send the tiger head away? Why did you say it's so unlucky."

Jiao Si got up from the ground and walked into the back house with big strides. He shouted loudly, "Come here for a reunion dinner. Today is the New Year's Eve dinner. I want to have a good time..." The old man cried in the face of cold wind.

Although the Qing court sometimes was not efficient, their reaction was still very quick when they met traitors. When Andhai added fuel to the fire and repeated Jiao Si's words to Cixi, the Empress Dowager Ci was furious and ordered the Red Cult protector to kill Jiao Si's family on the spot.

Cixi was really angry. She couldn't control Xiao Letian and those disciples. Can't even control a slave? She really had to kill a warning to her. Otherwise, who would still respect the imperial power?

In the night, more than fifty secret guards of the Forbidden City rushed out. In a short while, they surrounded Jiao Si's home. But what they never expected was that they were open doors and maids and servants running around.

"Damn, Jiao Sier, an old dog, took the whole family to commit suicide." The leading guard rushed into the back house and opened the door and saw Jiao Si, his wife, and his son and daughter-in-law, foaming at the mouth, he had already leaned on the back of the chair and could not die anymore.

"Sir, what should I do?"

"What else can I do? Search the house... interrogate those servants."

Ten servants who had not escaped were gathered together and soon explained everything. It turned out that after Hutou was sent away, Jiao Si gathered the family of four in the room. No servants were allowed to approach. No one expected that the master would poison and kill the whole family.

The guards were furious and failed to kill Jiao Si's family with their own hands. This means that the task was not completed successfully. Since it was not completed, then take the initiative to become more perfect.

The leading guard's eyes flashed. Several subordinates did not hesitate at all and did not pull out the knife to chop at the servants. There was a wailing sound under the random swords.

"Kill it clean. Grab it clean... men can't do their best in vain." The whole Jiao family was in chaos and almost set off a fire.

At this moment, on the roof not far away, Iron Harrier covered the tiger's head's mouth and hugged him to look at the smashed house in the distance. The little tiger's head screamed in his throat and tears flowed. The young child could not bear the tragic situation of the family being destroyed.

"Tiger head. Don't cry. Don't make a sound. Those bad guys are looking for you everywhere. They must want to kill you. Don't make a sound..." Tie Yaozi gently let go of his hand.

Hutou whispered in fear, "Uncle Wu. Who are they? Why do they kill my parents... Why do they kill my grandparents..."

Iron Harrier pointed at the dark corner tower in the Forbidden City in the distance and said fiercely, "Child, remember. The murderer lives there. One day we will take revenge."

The death of Jiao Si and General Ding completely cut off the court's hope of evidence. Now all witnesses who can prove Xiao Letian's rebellion have been detained in Tanggu. Whether to live or die is only in Xiao Letian's thoughts.

According to the past practice, the court could use false charges to deal with people like Xiao Letian. Even if it was done with some perjury, it didn't matter. But after Xiao Letian's seven major questions were released, the court would find it difficult to start.

In the following days, emergency documents from various parts of Zhili flew towards the court like snowflakes. Not only did Xiao Letian's propaganda offensive show no sign of weakening, but it became more and more intense and even spread to Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other places.

This is a propaganda war without gunpowder. This is a viral transmission that should not have occurred. Xiao Letian's seven questions really attracted everyone's attention in the closed society in the late Qing Dynasty.

No one doesn’t like legendary stories. The boring spare time of the people needs some exciting news to embellish. Xiao Letian’s seven questions have attracted the attention of the people.

"My mother. The imperial court assassinated Xiao Letian and poisoned his wife. It's all the best. Come and see you."

"The foreigners have landed in Tanggu again. The streets have been blocked. Do you still have to fight?"

"How come it is done? Why can't the two thousand green camp soldiers even defeat 200 guards? Why do you still support them..."

Countless questions echoed on the land of the late Qing Dynasty. The people's hearts were as chaotic as grass. Even the prices of grain rose by 10%. The court could not sit still at this moment.

"How did Xiao Letian do it? How could he have such terrifying printing ability? How much money does he have? Is it over?" Everyone in the court in the Forbidden City asked their own questions.

They don't know that something even more terrible is still there.
