Chapter 243 Money can make a ghost grind the mill(1/2)

"reply?"

Li Hongzhang slapped the table and said with an ugly expression, "Tell me, Li Hongzhang, what kind of answer should I give you, what kind of answer do you want?"

"Do I want to kill a few of these literati and exile more than a dozen?"

Li Hongzhang pointed to the literati who was scared like a chicken and said, then pointed to Zou Zhenyue, the prefect next to him, and said lightly, "Then are you dismissing the Tianjin prefect for serving you as a military officer and exiling you to Heilongjiang?"

"Is it true that I will pay you another 400,000 taels of silver?"

Well……

What's wrong with this?

Why are you still angry?

Look, you old man, isn't that interesting?

Isn't it just acting?

Isn’t it just about crosstalk, one funny guy and the other supporting guy, you suddenly stop supporting him, I can’t continue to talk about this crosstalk!

Besides, who would you disgusted with the final result of the Tianjin lesson plan?

Who do you disgusted?

Anyway, I can't disgust me!

Zhu Ming smiled faintly and said slowly, "If Lord Li Zhongtang is willing, I don't mind!"

"Haha!" Li Hongzhang smiled coldly and continued, "It is said that such negotiations are nothing more than murder and cede land to compensate. However, I saw that this citizen of the German Empire was still very young. Do you have to pay you another beauty to warm your quilt?"

Zhu Ming now knew that his prospective father-in-law was angry...

Didn’t this old man has a big mind and a very dignified attitude?

It's not a joke!

How about this?

Have you played it off?

"Ba.b.ba..."

Who is it?

Is this a joke on me, right?

He even slapped his face and slapped his big head!

However, Zhu Ming then saw a foreigner walking in, followed by two foreign soldiers, who were majestic. When he saw the other party’s military uniforms and red look, Zhu Ming was a little surprised!

U.K?

What's wrong with him here!

What I call myself is Germany, not the British Empire!

Just when Zhu Ming was surprised, Li Hongzhang was even more surprised. He looked at the other party and said in disbelief, "I don't know what happened to Minister MacDonald, but I neglected the Minister. Let's talk in our Governor's Mansion..."

“no,no,no…”

MacDonald shook his head stubbornly and said slowly, "Governor General, I think you need to give this gentleman an explanation..."

Uh, where are you, the big-tailed wolf?

What kind of single clove of garlic is filled with?

"This gentleman is not only a friend of the German Empire, but also a friend of my British Empire..."

MacDonald said seriously, then came to Zhu Ming, and bent down very gentlemanly, saying, "Don't worry, if he does not give you strong support, the British Empire will decide to stand behind you, support you in the kingly civilized world, and punish this barbaric country..."

Well……

ah……

this……

that……

I really don't know who he is?

Don't look at me like that.

If you don’t say it just now, I don’t even know that he is MacDonald, the British Empire’s Minister to China!

Zhu Ming can only say mechanically, "thanks, thanks..."

Li Hongzhang was also stupid when he looked at the situation in front of him!

On one side is Zhu Ming, on the other side is the Qing Dynasty, on the other side is the British Empire, and on the other side is the German Empire. What's the matter with this!

Could it be that this guy is really so awesome in Western countries?

Just when Li Hongzhang was about to speak, he suddenly saw Baland, the Minister of the German Empire to China, rushed in. After seeing Li Hongzhang, he didn't say anything at all. He first came to Zhu Ming and took off his hat and greeted him very respectfully. Then he said enthusiastically, "How about it, Mr. Zhu Ming, you are not injured..."

Injuried?

I have nothing to do!

But, who are you?

Baland also saw Zhu Ming's confusion, so he straightened his waist and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Lord Zhu Ming, the German Empire is behind you. His Majesty the Emperor must be very happy to see his friends be protected!"

"His Excellency Zhu Ming, the British Empire will always be your most solid backing!" MacDonald also hurriedly expressed his opinion!

hehe……

It's my most solid backing!

You just now know if my name is good!

How can you be so shameless?

But, I like it!

Barland then glanced at MacDonald and said coldly, "Minister MacDonald, the matter of setting up spies in our merchants' foreign business, His Highness the Queen can definitely give our Majesty an explanation..."

spy?

Zhu Ming then realized, Oh, it turned out that the British knew where he went to Mande, and that shouldn't be it!

You should know that Li Hongzhang had been in contact with Mande for a long time in the Qing Dynasty. It was impossible for him to appear as if he saw meat as a dog...

Dogs see meat?

Well--

Could it be that they are all aiming at getting 30 million taels of silver, right?

Zhu Ming then realized!

He couldn't help but look at Li Hongzhang awkwardly and said with a wry smile, "I dare to ask the Lord Zhongtang, if he accidentally killed an exiled criminal, according to the Qing Dynasty's laws, how should he be punished..."

Unintentional mistake?

When you say this, won’t your conscience hurt?

That was called unintentional just now?

After all, you came up fiercely and asked Zhang Peilun if he was okay?

Or a mistake?

You're raising your hand and hitting me!

The ability to tell lies with open eyes is really the same as that of those foreigners, without any wisdom!

Let’s see how our Qing Dynasty litigants wrote papers. What’s the point of...

Well?

At this time, all the literati suddenly remembered a question!

This Zhang Peilun and Zhang Youqiao are so sinful!

Yes, he is not exiled, but according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, he is still a criminal!

As long as the emperor does not forgive you for your crimes, you are a criminal!

What punishment is for the murder of the criminal?

seem……

seem……

Everyone thought about it with the only reason, and it seemed that they were fined 2,000 yuan and 20 yuan.

However, according to the atonement silver system set up by the Qiande Master Qianlong, who was the old man who was doing civil and military affairs, when he spent some money, it seemed that the young man in front of him would not have to be punished at all!

this--

Li Hongzhang's face looked even more ugly!

Yes, that's it!
