C2259 On account (1/2)
On June 5, the date of the historic anti-Chinese incident in the East End of London, when the needle pointed to 8: 45 P.M., the situation escalated abruptly.
The French and Russian protester were organized by Benjamin Mentor and Yi Wan. They were all actors who had received a salary.
Furthermore, Benjamin even had the police department try to pull some strings in private, so these protester were definitely not worried about the safety issues. That's why they got more and more excited, and even dared to use rocks to attack the Head of the Guards.
In this era, even the concept of European hierarchy was very strong. However, without the surging public opinion in the internet era, the ordinary citizens of this era would never dare to imagine the fear towards officials towards the royal authority in the 21st century. If no one organized to kill them, they would not dare to protest to the head of state.
Even if they were extremely high-spirited, there would still be a time when their emotions would run out. In addition, at the end of summer, they were still very energetic. At around seven in the evening, these protester were already extremely tired.
However, it didn't matter, Organizer had already sent them black coffee and sandwiches. This group of thugs protested that there was no time to eat, it seemed like they were going to stay up all night.
Many of the windows had been broken by rocks. Behind the dark windows were pairs of vigilant eyes and rifles. As long as these thugs dared to break through the East Palace's iron fence, they would not be polite.
Xiao Letian was hiding behind a window, staring at the outside with his bright eyes, ”Aiyah? There's even someone sending food over. This is great. How dare you show off with such a flawed plan? ”
”Is Leo back yet?” I told him to go and protest to Benjamin, why hasn't he come back for so long? ”
”He's back. Leo came back through the back door …” While speaking, Lei Ao, who was panting heavily as he was escorted by a few soldiers, ran over to Xiao Letian's side.
”Head... Prime Minister... You did not guess wrong, Benjamin did not even see me … ” Leo took the cup and gulped down a large cup of cold tea.
Not only did he not see me, Benjamin had people bring out a few words, they say that citizens of free nations have the freedom to speak, and since they are being protested, then find the reason for doing so!
”F * ck!” ”You dog, you are blatantly discrediting us!” The surrounding generals were instantly enraged.
The corners of Xiao Letian's mouth curled up calmly, ”Don't be angry, it was all within expectations … Leo, how many reporters did you bring? ”
”Six!” They are all reporters who have close ties with us, and yet they accepted our gifts so easily. When the time comes, they will definitely speak up for us! ”
”That's good, as long as he has the evidence, he, Benjamin, will be held responsible. Since he dared to light the fire, then let's see if he has the ability to extinguish the fire!”
Then, Xiao Letian suddenly paused, and asked: ”Is there any news from Zai Chun?”
Wang Huaiyuan said in a daze, ”Just Da Sixi's visit this afternoon. You did not see him, so you went back. After that ….”
There's no need to talk about that anymore, the disappointment on Xiao Letian's face was clear as day. For such a serious conflict, you, the Emperor of Tongzhi, came with us from Europe, and yet you dare to stay out of it?
”Forget it, everyone has their own aspirations!” Let's go... Where's Fang Guan! Are her people ready? ”
In the corner of the house, Fang Guan was holding onto a small, delicate mirror. Behind him, a beautiful swallow was holding onto a mine lamp, and Fang Guan followed the light of the mine lamp, using the mirror's rhythm to send out the lighting signal s outside the window.
While moving his hands, his mouth was still talking, ”I know, I know!” I've long since made arrangements. As long as I have money, what kind of rascals can't I hire? ”The outer perimeter is waiting for my command …”
Xiao Letian punched the window sill, clenching his teeth, he said, ”Benjamin, you will see me, and you will even have to beg to see me! ”Move!”
As the leader gave the order, all the units started moving quickly. There was nothing new in the East Palace, but outside the East Palace, things were different.
Amongst the people who were serving coffee and food to the protester, ten odd Northern European faces wearing tattered hats and ragged clothes suddenly sneaked in.
