559 It is not easy to go home
"Transfer my order, and select prisoners of war from immediately, interrogate them one by one, and those who voluntarily plead guilty will be exempted from death if they report others, and those who resist stubbornly will be given to the recruits to practice bayonets..."
"Leo, don't shoot me anymore. You have collected evidence of crimes during this period and recorded all the atrocities committed by the dogs and Tartars. Don't there already have two sets of American printing machines in Tanggu? Let the workers assemble and debug, and the media war will depend on you..."
"Tietoutuo... You are responsible for the execution. Those prisoners of war who have been sentenced to death have cut off their thumbs and then broken a tendon... Damn, I'll take it to Tianjin and bring it to Beijing..."
"Where is Zhou Mingkui? What is this bastard doing without death? Let him get over here..."
The angry Xiao Letian began to issue various orders, and the commanded war horses ran around one after another, and the huge war machine began to run at full speed.
Tanggu Tongzhiyamen, this period is like an isolated island in a typhoon, and is forgotten by everyone and hidden in the corner of the city. The gate is closed like a ghost.
During this period, Zhou Mingkui and his subordinates were all restless like ants on a hot pan. After all, he was just a fence-bearing man. In name, he was an official of the Qing Dynasty, but in fact, Xiao Letian was in charge. The court had long lost control of Tanggu.
No matter who wins this battle, Zhou Mingkui will offend one side. Will Meile be punished if he wins the court? Will Xiao Letian take revenge?
But what if Xiao Letian wins? Will he blame himself for not having a clear support for the new army in the war? Will the court decide that he is a rebellious person and kill the nine clans?
This was really a hot pancake, and both ends were roasted. This uneasy feeling reached its peak when Xiao Letian returned. When he heard Wanmin shouting long live the Prime Minister, Zhou Mingkui sat on the chair and was completely scared and paralyzed.
From midnight to bright light, many people pulled him out to see the prime minister on his own initiative, but he didn't dare to move the place, and he became a dead dog.
Knowing that the captain Zhou Xing ran over from the front door, he was startled from the chair with one sentence, "Sir, the Prime Minister summoned you, the Prime Minister invites you to discuss matters..."
With a bang, Zhou Mingkui jumped up like a spring installed under his butt, "Prime Minister? It's really Prime Minister Xiao... It's broken, it's a crime. Why didn't I hide in the special zone clearly? I'm so confused..."
Zhou Xing looked at the commander circling around the ground, furious and grabbed him, "Okay, sir, you can't think about it well. You remain neutral in this war. Isn't this also leaving room for dialogue between the prime minister and the court? Sometimes, you can pass on words to each other..."
"What a smart person the Prime Minister is. How could he not see through this? Don't worry, I use my head to guarantee that the Prime Minister will not punish you..."
Zhou Mingkui's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this, "Are you saying true?"
"Oh, my elder brother, can you still see through this matter with such a smart person? You are just the one who is confused by the authorities... If I guess correctly, the court will have to reuse you in the future. Maybe someone will come to contact you secretly..."
Zhou Xing coaxed and pushed Zhou Mingkui and forced Zhou Mingkui to change his clothes, and quickly took a sedan chair to find Xiao Letian.
At this time, Xiao Letian was not on the battlefield. He had already returned to the Industrial Special Zone. Under the protection of the special zone wall, his house was just west of the special zone.
It was originally a big house of Juren Huang. After a war disaster and another fire, it has now become a huge building complex. There are six courtyards in three places, which are dotted with countless green trees in the garden. Xiao Letian even attracted a stream of living water, a small river winding in it, and even a small boat can be used.
According to the custom of old Beijing, a large courtyard house covers an area of at least 600 square meters, while six buildings are 3,600 square meters. If green spaces of the same area are added, Xiao Letian's house has exceeded 7,000 square meters.
This is a large mansion that later otakus would never dare to imagine. It covers an area of ten acres and is almost the same as the famous Qiao family courtyard in later generations. Of course, if you have to compare it with the famous Jiangnan gardens or even the Beijing gardens, then Xiao Letian's mansion would be average.
However, Xiao Letian didn't care. There was a prime minister's mansion in Ryukyu, and Prince Carl gave him the garden in Hamburg. Maybe he would build several more manors in the United States in the future. Xiao Letian was a prodigal son who stayed everywhere. He would not tie himself to the land.
As soon as the war horse entered the street in front of the gate, they saw a large group of maids, including mandarin ducks, amber, Qingwen, Xiren, Xiangling... A large group of maids who came with Fuhui's dowry, and the maids Xiao Letian hired in Tanggu were all looking forward to it.
Xiao Letian discovered for the first time that there were so many women in his family. Why didn’t he discover them before? Today, he saw dozens of them.
"Oh, are there so many women in my family? I only have a dozen, right?"
Xiao Letian's shameless problem made the brothers around him unable to see it. His godson Xiao Bingtaro muttered, "More than... I heard from Master Long that you have served more than fifty people in the inner hut alone, and more than seventy people in the outer hut. Not counting as servants, you have occupied more than 120 women..."
"Oh... what are you talking about?" Xiao Letian, who was angry and embarrassed, went up to find the back of his head and slapped him. "What does it mean to occupy? I haven't touched any of them yet? Don't worry, I'll arrange them all for a good family sooner or later..."
"Are you willing to give up..." Hitotaro, who was slapped, dared not speak loudly, but just underestimated it in his stomach.
Xiao Letian's appearance immediately alarmed the door, and there were crying on the spot, "Master... you are finally back..."
Standing on the street was the old housekeeper who came with Fuhui. Master Qing San was the one who showed it to him, and he was also the one who gave birth to a child from the Fucha family.
When the son-in-law was back, the old butler's nose fell with sour tears. Then he shouted in a loud voice, "Master returns home... kneels to welcome..." After a shout, all the servants and maids in front of the door knelt down, and they were covered in vastness.
Xiao Letian quickly turned over and dismounted, "Get up, our family doesn't care about kneeling and worshiping, get up... Thank you for your hard work, you all have rewards, and all have rewards..."
As usual, when the master said there was a reward, he might be happy. There would be a lot of rewards on the scene. If the master didn't say how much he rewarded, the reward would be decided by the housekeeper. Xiao Letian was already rich, and he would have to pay ten dollars for one person at a time.
But today it was strange that none of the people present gave a reward, but instead cried even more unfairly.
"Son-in-law, please help me, please help me... The lady has white hair for you, and she and the third master are now tied to Jingshan... The home in the capital has also been confiscated. We have no one to rely on except you. Please help me, please help me, please help me, please help me, please..."
The dowry maids behind the old housekeeper were even more evil now. They were choking and twitching and twitching. Xiang Xiren and Xiangling were almost fainted.
Qingwen, who is like a pepper, has a sharp mouth like a knife. "Master, if you don't care about the lady, then let us go. We will hit you to death on Jingshan. It's also considered that our lady didn't love us in vain... It also saves the end of the end of a person who was sold out..."
When Xiao Letian heard this, his forehead was so angry that his veins jumped up, thinking that you were not Fuhui's children, and they were all given a dowry by Cixi. What kind of people are you loyal to?
But he didn't know that Fuhui was well versed in the management philosophy of wealthy families. When Xiao Letian was busy with his career, he had already won the hearts of people with clever means. In addition, the phenomenon of personal dependence in the late Qing Dynasty was very serious. If the maids could meet a conscientious master, it would be a great burning incense for eight lifetimes. None of the Xiao Letian family was willing to leave.
Xiao Letian persuaded him kindly, but he was more crying. In the end, Xiao Letian was so angry that he threw his hat. "Everything gets up... If you cry again, I will throw my hands away completely, and I will not care about anything..."
"I've been away for a year, sleeping in the open, and bullets are raining. Is it easy for me... You actually show me the face of crying as soon as you get home. Are you depressed? I cried another one and drove you out of the house..."
Don’t say, people are just bad things. If you say good things, they will be motivated. If you become arrogant, they will be honest. When you see the master is really angry, all the people will get up.
The old butler said tremblingly, "Don't be angry, master, we know that the master will not ignore the lady. We just feel sad... Why are you still standing there? He burns incense soup to serve the master in the shower, and hurry up and prepares a banquet... The backbone is back, why are you crying..."
A group of servants and maids scattered and began to prepare, while the old housekeeper kept guarding Xiao Letian, as well as the two big maids Xiren and Qingwen, followed Xiao Letian and served him closely.
At this time, a group of officers behind him could not follow him. The prime minister asked the beauty to "kidnap". None of them dared to ramble at this time, for fear of disturbing the prime minister's elegance.
Xiao Letian looked at it and then. He knew that it would be impossible not to give an explanation to the inner zodiac. He sighed and said, "You are so foolish. How can I not be in a hurry for my wife? Since I am back, I will definitely take care of it... Let me tell you the truth. The riot in Beijing seems to be loud, but in fact there are not a few raindrops..."
Xiao Letian took out a roll of newspaper from his pocket and said, "Take it to the inner house to read it. The literate ones are for the illiterate Niannian. This is what I have done in Europe for a year. After reading this, you will understand. I am as reliable as Mount Tai now. You can wait to enjoy your happiness in the future..."
The old housekeeper, Qingwen, was stunned when Xiren saw the newspaper translated by Lion City. The deeds and photos there were completely beyond their imagination.
It was not until this time that Xiao Letian stepped back and said to his subordinates, "Let's go to the study to discuss matters, let's study here for them to study..."
