Maybe Baochu didn't hear it, maybe he didn't care if he heard it. He began to move forward with difficulty towards the Forbidden City against the crowds of people running away from the city!

At this time, the sky was already dim. I took out my pocket watch and looked at it. It was already 5:40 in the evening. In this period, except for the ministers of military discipline, most ministers are not qualified to enter the palace!

However, Baochu didn't know what he was thinking, and he still stubbornly headed towards the Forbidden City. After arriving at Xihua Gate, it was already half past six, and the lights were lit in the palace!

Looking at the city gate, he touched the waist sign and didn't know whether to hand over it or not, but after a closer look at why all the defenders of Xihua Gate changed?

What about those arrogant soldiers in the past? What about the tiger spears of more than one person? What about the guards who tilted their waists? All of them were left. All the troops were left with straight military postures, and the Mauser with a bayonet stood solemnly like a sculpture!

"Please go to the left by the official who handed over the sign, don't block the main road!"

Just when Baochu was hesitating, the sentry guarding the gate suddenly spoke. Baochu was startled and then walked over naturally!

"The Minister of Sanzhi Baochu, please see Your Majesty... This is my brand!"

After taking the sign, the soldier saw that there was no fake, and immediately waved his hand, "Sir, please... the palace ban system has changed greatly. After entering the palace, please walk under the guidance of the foreman, don't walk around at will!"

The palace ban system was indeed changed by Emperor Tongzhi. All the guards of the four gates of the Forbidden City were guarding the new guards and the kidnapped horses!

The original responsible imperial guards system was all laid off, and they were waiting for notification at home. God knew when it would be reorganized!

When I entered Xihua Gate, there was a little eunuch who was holding a lantern and was carefully serving. "Please, please, uncle, let's turn from the Broken Rainbow Bridge. The queen is now living in the Yangxin Hall. You raise your feet..."

Baochu touched his pocket and found that he had just packed a dozen silver dollars and a few paper bills, but he didn't count much and stuffed it to the eunuch, "Dear father-in-law, tea..."

Of course, Baochu was a clean official, but in the late Qing Dynasty, this rule was given. Even if you are honest, you would not dare to pay for the door-to-door system. Whether you go to the palace or the royal palace, even if you are at the superior's house, you have to give the door-to-door benefits to the manager!

This has formed a conventional iron rule in the officialdom, and even Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang and others must abide by it and dare not disobey it!

But today it was strange. When the little eunuch saw the uncle's door bag, his face changed drastically, "Oh... uncle, don't harm the slave. The slave really dare not accept it, really dare not accept it..."

"Oh...Don't bother think it's too little. Xiaguan just came back from the northern suburbs. He really didn't bring much money in a hurry. Next time he would definitely seal a large bag of money for his father-in-law..."

Bao Chu was explaining, but he didn't expect that the little eunuch put the lantern on the ground, knelt down and kowtowed, "Uncle, the king! Don't harm the slave... I didn't mess with you? You raise your hand and spare my life!"

"What's wrong with this... father-in-law, get up quickly, I'm confused..."

"Uncle Guo, you really don't know? Alas... You will understand everything after a while when you go around the Eighteen Locust trees. Please take away the money quickly!"

The Forbidden City enters the palace from Xihua Gate, and along the left side of the main road, which is the north, one is Xian'an Palace and the other is Wuying Palace!

There is a spacious area between Wuying Hall and Taihe Hall Chonglou, which leads directly to the north and can reach the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The right wing gate includes Cining Palace and Longzong Gate.

This spacious area contains eighteen ancient locust trees planted during the Ming Dynasty, which are lush and very climatic!

This is the famous Eighteen Locust trees, and it is also a grand scene in the Forbidden City!

Baochu is also quite familiar with this place, but the scene in front of Duanhongqiao just passed by today was shocked!

"Oh...this...this...this...this?"

What a good guy, the surroundings of the Eighteen Locust trees have become execution grounds. Hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids are gathered together, and several bonfires are burning. Various torture instruments are filled with the ground in the fire!

The eunuch, the chief eunuch in the Jingshifang, was very happy. At this moment, he was a vicious person. In the brightest fire, there was a chair of the Grand Master, and a small table next to it, with four dishes of wine and food on it!

Just in front of Da Sixi, a row of eunuchs and palace maids were being tortured, boards, sticks, leather whips, and soldering irons... It was simply a reappearance of the former Mingdong Factory!

The eldest son turned his head and saw it and immediately changed his smile, "Oh... the uncle is here! I kowtowed to the uncle..."

After the night of the marriage, who didn’t know that the emperor favored the queen? For the sake of Arute, he could turn against Cixi and transfer airships to scatter roses!

Love the house and the ninth house. Isn’t the status of this uncle soaring? How dare the eldest son pretend to be garlic in front of Baochu? He trotted and kowtowed!

"Uncle Guo, you are lucky... Are you here to visit the palace? The empress just took the medicine, and the fever has subsided..."

Baochu pointed at all the things in front of him in shock, "What... is this? They all made mistakes?"

"Haha, the uncle of the country doesn't know anything. Your Majesty asked the slave to strictly investigate the palace ban. Before, many of the whereabouts of the Emperor Longsheng had been secretly passed on. He held the Forbidden City and looked like a wall of iron. In fact, many of them inside were eaten by these dogs!"

"The dog slaves who don't know how to be grateful must be interrogated one by one. If you don't find out the little kids who are scattered, then why does the master still need a slave?"

Ah! It turned out to be interrogating rebellion, which was reasonable. Bao Chu nodded, "Rebellion is indeed hateful... But, are these... all rebellions?"

Baochu couldn't help but feel shocked! The palace maids and eunuchs who were locked up now have no more than 150 or 60 people!

The one in front was already beaten and the one behind was trembling with fright, and the one behind was still queuing in line to be punished!

The question from the uncle of the country made several palace maids hear it recently. The clothes were broken by the whip, and the palace maid who was almost exposed was crying loudly, "I beg my uncle to help you... I really am not rebelling!"

"The general manager arrested us and tortured us... many people were scolded!"

"Little bitch..." When the big four Xi heard that the bitch dared to complain in front of the uncle, she rushed up and slapped her twice. Her long nails shattered the corners of her mouth, and blood suddenly poured out.

The palace maid may have known that she was doomed, so she also took the initiative to yell, "You are avenging yourself with me in your personal revenge! Isn't it just five years ago that my aunt refused to go to you?"

"You have to take personal revenge now! I will not let you go even if I become a ghost..."

When the big four heard this, he snatched a wire brush from the torture rack. These were all used to brush the skin after boiling water!

He pinched the iron brush and stuffed it directly into the palace maid's mouth. A stirring almost ruined her tongue!

"Stop... How can you force confessions so severely?" Bao Chu became ill again with a silence.
