Bidens didn't know that Fifth Brother, who usually played around with other people, had a mind of his own. He still thought that Fifth Brother was the Heroic King from before, although his temper was a little bad, a little twisted, and a little stubborn, he still had a good nature!

Hearing that his own brother helped him out, he heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he was a pro-Brothers, and his feelings were different from those of an ordinary imperial relative.

Fifth Master Yi Cong advised him with a few words before saying, ”Old Sixth! Brothers has nothing to say to show their tolerance to you, but with how fierce this matter is, who exactly is up to this? We should at least be able to understand ghosts! ”

”Don't let them beat us up again and again. If we still don't know who did it, wouldn't we become Idiot?”

No one knew that Yi Yuan had once secretly paid a visit to Ceng Guofan, but as the chief minister of the Daqing, everyone naturally believed that he should know everything!

Thinking about it, that makes sense. You have been in control of such a large Empire for so many years, and you have internal affairs as well, and you even have military power. Such a powerful Prince, you can't possibly not find an opponent even after being beaten, can you?

Yi Yu's face suddenly turned red. ”Fifth Brother …” Hi... It was a long story, but this opponent was hard to say! I know who did it, but I can't understand a word or two! ”

”Aiyo?” What was going on? Zhang San was Zhang San, and Li Si was Li Si … What's the point of having a name? Even if the Chinese goblin has a long name, can you even finish a sentence from a song? ”

”Could it be …” Could it be that you have some secret with the Sixth Brother? Can't you see the light? ”

”No, no …” ”Definitely not. It's just that this opponent is not a single person, but a large group of people without borders …”

Everyone was confused. Their skill level was not even comparable to Bidens's, and they simply could not understand what was called capitalist strength's counterattack. They could only focus their hatred on individual people, and had to have a name!

Just as everyone was surrounding Bidens, unwilling to give up on an answer, the person who helped them out arrived. His son, Zai Cheng, who was outside suddenly ran in with big steps.

”Ama! The Ama has come to the Guest … from the customs is here! ”

”Who?” He De? Is it He De, the head of the Customs and Excise Department? Why did he come here at this critical juncture? ”

was definitely a famous person in the late Qing. His relationship with the high officials of the Qing Government was extremely close, and he had a good personal relationship with the people of the Prince Kung.

Logically speaking, it was not rare to be a guest, but the Qing Dynasty's hospitality system was extremely complicated. Even an official banquet had to send out a post three days in advance!

As long as you are not a close friend or kinsman, this kind of temporary visit is very improper!

If there was a situation where he did not inform the other party that he had come to visit, then there was only one possibility, and that was that something big had happened!

One was when British was in charge of all the customs taxes, the other was when Qing Kingdom was in charge of the affairs of the entire Empire!

For the meeting between the two of them, they had to strictly follow the rules. They even had to allow the Ministry of Rites to record their posts in advance.

The fact that he had come without warning made everyone worried!

But since the Guest had come, he could not not not see him. He gestured to everyone to wait in the Blessed Temple as he proceeded towards the west wing hall of the Silver Palace to meet the Chief of the Customs Department!

Hurrying on foot, Yi asked her son, ”Did you get anything out of it?” ”What is he doing here?”

”No, my son asked. He only smiled and said that he wanted to pay Ama a visit, he didn't even bother to tell me the proper business! Normally, He De would be easy to talk to, but why are your words so tight today? ”

He De was actually not the first person in charge of the customs, he was the second person!

The first person in charge of the customs office was the British, Li Tai. However, this person's words were arrogant and cunning, he was extremely disrespectful to the officials of the Daqing, and even forced the Prince Kung to grant him a house that was specific to the Prince Mansion as a private residence.

He even proposed to create a Daqing Cannon Fleet, and the commanding authority would be given to him!
