C1168 The Fifth Master of the Capital (1/2)

Regardless of whether Xiao Letian was willing or not, he had to lower his head to reality. He could now use the wealth he had accumulated previously.

Now that the problem is, we can confirm that Xiao Letian is secretly collecting gold, so does that mean that there is a Gold Collection Vault that is currently storing ten tons or more of wealth?

Sakamoto Ryoma had only given his a hint at the end, but this hint already made the imperial court and the British intelligence agencies flabbergasted. So there was actually such an explanation for the ten tons of gold that was rumored to be true?

Ten tons of gold is three hundred and fifty thousand ounces! The conversion was as high as £1.365 million. The British gold standard was opened in 1821, when a legal pound was worth 7.32,238 grams of gold.

Ten tons of gold was nothing to the finances of the British Empire, but it was nothing to the usurping empire.

But to Russia, who was under the pressure of the abolitionist movement's funds, ten tons of gold was no less than a lifesaving straw. To an overly hungry person, a single strand of noodles was definitely not enough to satisfy their hunger.

The British spies who received the latest information quickly shared it with the French, and then the French quickly communicated with Molière, which also included the conversation between Molière and the commander of the Russia, and also the interrogation of Yang Zhi in the Forbidden City.

He did not say much, and only sighed as he said, ”The information is still not detailed enough. Originally, Sakamoto Ryoma's ranking within the CIA was higher than mine, and even if he had guessed it earlier, I wouldn't have had any accurate information …”

”If Esteemed Empress Dowager wants to give me an opinion, please allow me to go back and think it over carefully. Furthermore, please send me a telegram containing all the information I have. Otherwise, it'll be very difficult for me to give any suggestions …”

Ci Xi and the rest were a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, Yang Zhi had already been away from the Ryukyu for a long time, so he couldn't possibly know too much about the latest news.

After leaving the Forbidden City, Yang Zhi rode his horse all the way south, straight to the most famous coquettish alley out of the eight major lanes. When he asked around for the name ”tigress”, everyone was stunned for a moment.

”Brother!” Proceeding forward, counting down to the second house, the small courtyard that only had half a door open on the left was the home of the tigress … ”But let me remind you, if you want to go there, you have to bring enough silver …”

Yang Zhi did not think too much about it. He cupped his hands in thanks and then spurred his horse forward, quickly arriving at the so-called tigress' house.

At the door, a twelve or thirteen year old girl was sitting on a stool, eating a melon seed. At the door, a twelve or thirteen year old girl sat on a stool, eating a melon seed, shaking her head and looking at the people on the street.

Yang Zhi stepped forward and said with a smile: ”May I ask Miss, this is the home of the tigress …” Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud crash from the small yard behind the door, followed by the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.

Peering through the crack in the door, one could see a tall man in her thirties wearing an ordinary old sheepskin jacket, riding on the body of a noble young master wearing a fox fur coat.

”F * ck you, aren't you the nephew of the Prince Li's family? Just a small steward in the clan dared to act arrogantly in front of the Fifth Master? What's going on … You're not happy about asking you for a quarter of the profit? ”This grandpa will teach you a lesson …”

Good heavens! This fist was truly ruthless. Every single move of his could be heard screaming in agony. Yang Zhi didn't rub the sand in his eyes. With one look at that kid who had been beaten up, the jadeite snuff bottle rolling in the snow, and the green jade thumb ring, it was obvious that this wasn't something ordinary people could use.

It wasn't that they were against the rules, but that they couldn't protect themselves just because they didn't have the identity to do so.
