C3503 The private money that was given to the Tongzhi Emperor (1/2)

Even if it was a blood brother, the score would be split between the brothers. The imperial government's power struggle for power did not depend on blood ties, but the two biggest groups of military power in the capital, one of them was the minister of nine city gates, who was also Yi Xuan's faction.

And the other was naturally the power of the Xishan New Army, which meant that the bigger the better. The Myriad Life Mountain and the Kunming Lake were both located in a dangerous location and had always been guarded by Yi Xuan's soldiers. Today, they had seized the opportunity of Yang Zhi's assassination to snatch it away from the Xishan camp.

General Gui Six pulled Yang Zhi up and patiently questioned Jiang Nan about his profitable business. Time slowly passed, until the time for the westerner clock to chime, when it was 10: 30 AM, General Gui Six purposely exclaimed in surprise.

”Ouch …” Didn't you have to enter the palace today? I was really careless. Hurry up and hand over the sign so the empress dowager won't wait too long! ”

Yang Zhi was actually anxious to the point that his back was sweating, but since General Gui was not going to let him go, he did not dare move, and now that he had finally let go, he quickly took his leave.

”Thank you for your teachings, Prince. This servant will take his leave now …”

After exiting the Head Office, Yang Zhi boarded the carriage and quickly urged ”Let's go … Hurry and enter the palace! Empress Dowager Xi will definitely skin me! ”

Entering the Donghua Gate, Yang Zhi alighted from the carriage and handed a sign to the imperial guards. Under the lead of a young eunuch, he jogged towards the Yangxin Palace.

Yang Zhi was clever, he didn't notice the roll of bills and stuffed it into the young eunuch's hands. ”Sorry for troubling you, Eunuch, how are you feeling today, empress dowagers?”

The young eunuch was one of Li Lianying's subordinates, and upon seeing the bill, he smiled so much that his eyebrows rose up. Why did you come at this time? Empress Dowager Xi has already waited for a long time … ”

”But you will not be able to see Empress Dowager of the East today, Empress Dowager of the East is not feeling well, and is resting in Beiyuan!”

”I heard that you were assassinated today …” ”That's a reason for being late, but you don't look like you either!”

The young eunuch looked left and right as he led Yang Zhi to the corner of the Tai He Temple's stairs, then took out a roll of gauze from his chest.

”Look, look, it's been prepared for you, Mr. Yang!”

”Mask, pigeon blood...” With me bandaging you, the empress dowager will be able to soften your heart and you'll be safe! ”

The job of a eunuch was to serve others all his life, and his eyes were full of evil schemes. The news of Yang Zhi being assassinated in the morning had already spread throughout the officials circle, and all the eunuchs knew about it.

then proceeded to report it to the Head Office first, and then to see the empress dowager. This was an opportunity to extort from her!

The young eunuch had long made preparations with both hands. If you gave me the money, I'll bandage it for you. I promise to make you miserable so that the empress dowager will soften her heart.

If you don't give me the money, hehe … Later on, there would be mischievous secrets that the empress dowager would want to tell her. It would be simple if she wanted to apply eye medicine on her.

Yang Zhi was very clear about what was happening inside, he did not dare delay until the one thousand dollar bill was handed over, and at last it was exchanged for a safe one!

Indeed, when Yang Zhi, whose forehead was wrapped in blood bandages, entered the door to report, before he even entered the room, he heard Ci Xi's angry voice from inside.

”Let him kneel in the yard! ”Let him kneel …”

Without saying anything further, Yang Zhi kneeled down on the ground and shouted, ”Thank you, Old Buddha. This servant pays respects to Old Buddha! ”

”There's no need for you to say hello! ”Go and lick the stinky feet of General Gui Six …”

Li Lianying could not pretend to be mute now. After all, in the past few years, she had collected around four to five hundred thousand from.

”Cough, cough …” The empress dowager, please calm your anger. Even if you wanted to punish me by kneeling down, let Lord Yang kneel inside the room … It would not be good to be in the courtyard with such heavy injuries! ”

”Injured? How could he, the Nine Lives Demon Cat, be injured? ”He's lying to ghosts!” Ci Xi said angrily.
