Xiao Letian's flyer offensive finally escalated after ten days. When the Manchu Qing were still hesitating whether to kill or appease Xiao Letian, Xiao Letian finally made a final move, and a newspaper appeared out of thin air in Beijing.

Countless people in the capital discovered this so-called 'newsprint' posted on the wall almost at the same time, which is something more attractive to the people than the unveiling posts and leaflets, because the content inside is so powerful.

"Hey, hey... What kind of thing is this, such an old word... How much does it cost to print such a copy? I think it costs ten coppers...... to say the least."

"What Liu Ye said is that such a big one, the seal is so dense, there are no ten coppers that can't come down......"

When the sky was bright, a large group of people were already gathered around the street corner, and although the Eight Banners were gentle, there was no problem with basic literacy, and they became volunteer docents.

"Nancheng Dayun Rice Shop is shoddy, new rice mixed with old rice, and it hurts the people? And it's an insider guy who broke the news? Hey, my uncle's family always eats their rice, is this true or fake?"

"Wailang, Xiao Moumou, a member of the Ministry of Labor, schemed to take the water from the willow ditch in western Beijing to water the ground, forced a family of three to death? Hey, isn't the surname Xiao of the Ministry of Labor......

"Look here, Prince Gong's Mansion Night Banquet, one meal cost three thousand five hundred taels of silver...... Oh my God, this is money... Tut-tut......"

The more people look at it, the more excited they become, because the newsprint posted on the wall is full of things that people are interested in and about. What so-and-so restaurant is shoddy, so-and-so pharmacy is embarrassing for the poor, and even the privacy of officials is written.

Those who occupy people's wealth, those who pick up ashes, those who marry fourteen-year-old concubines shamelessly, those who are jealous and scratch their faces in the main house, all of them are on the gossip news, and the characters in it are all well-known in Sijiu City.

It's a fryer now, you can believe these words, but the things inside are really bizarre. But if you don't believe it, there will be a mysterious Eight Banners Uncle at any time, and he will confirm it in a strange tone.

Chinese people love to watch the excitement, and the nature of spreading rumors is exposed at this moment. The eyes of people who watch these gossip news are lit up, and the impact is no less than a rainbow in the dreary winter sky.

"Look, everyone, it's still written here, 'The people have the right to know, and everything must be said to people', oh, it makes sense, look, this piece of paper still has a name, the people's knowledge newspaper?

"Minzhi Bao...... Hey, I'll take it off first, and when I see it, I will definitely tear it up, and I can't bear to ...... it."

A word woke up the person in the dream, and the people present started one after another, peeled off the newspaper on the wall vividly, rolled it under the creaky nest and turned their heads to go home.

This scene was constantly playing out in the streets and alleys of the capital, and by the time Shuntianfu discovered this rebellious newsprint, there was nothing left on the long street for them to destroy.

These servants were already crying, and they knew that the court's request would be issued soon. But what can they do, in order to eliminate these guerrillas who are posted everywhere, Shuntianfu even asked for help from the masters of Ouchi. But what's the use? The city of Beijing is so big that these flies that run away with a single shot are simply impossible to prevent.

Moreover, what is the use of just guarding against the city of Beijing, and how can you defend the suburbs, counties, villages, and towns around the capital? Send troops to garrison all of them? Or should they all send internal guards? The huge Qing Dynasty is full of loopholes in defense, and the people's hearts cannot be encircled by the Great Wall.

"Lack of morality, people who do this kind of thing are too lacking in morality, do you think Xiao Letian did it?"

"Brother, do you still need to ask? The whole big purge of this two devils, who still has such a big pen, take money and throw it away like waste paper. ”

"Don't cry or mourn, come and see, this newsprint is really beautiful... Hey, hey, the household pen post style is actually an old gray..."

"Where, where, let me see......" A group of officials also came to be interested, huddled together, and looked at it with their heads on their heads, laughing lustfully.

Before noon, Shuncheonfu was already crowded with a group of angry officials and businessmen, and these people who had been attacked by the newspapers crowded into the lobby of Shuntianfu to force the government to remove these illegal postings immediately, and also to give them justice.

The entire Shuntian Mansion was angry and crooked, and said in his heart that you have done something embarrassing, and you don't want people to say it?

The cynicism of the Shuntianfu made these officials and merchants furious, and several of the largest officials immediately began to concatenate themselves, and the post of the joint complaint flew into the Forbidden City that afternoon.

The emperor and the queen mother had long known about this new thing, and on the one hand, they were angry at Xiao Letian's audacity, and on the other hand, they were angry at the greed and shamelessness of these officials.

"Do you want an explanation? Do you want the court to clean up the aftermath for you shameless people? Dream ...... Come on, let Shuntianfu go to those bad businessmen first, and check them one by one to see if it's true..."

Empress Dowager Ci'an rarely gets angry, but this Lafayette is the real Buddha in the Forbidden City, after Xianfeng's death, the general line of the empire is actually in charge, and the Yong generals in the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty dare not kill her.

"Businessmen are easy to handle, what about those officials?" Prince Gong was a little sitting.

"What's so hard to do? Let them go home and think about the past behind closed doors, screen them one by one, and I will give them a head if they are wronged, if they are not wronged, don't think that the court is easy to fool..."

Seeing that the true Buddha was angry, An Dehai's small plan began to fight, "These unscrupulous businessmen and black-hearted officials have to deal with them well." Lafayette, don't be angry, the most important thing now is to do Xiao Letian, and the ...... he left in the palace" As he spoke, he also cast his eyes on Ermao in the corner of the hall.

At this moment, An Dehai saw a flash of white light in front of him, and a large cup of hot tea was poured on his face, "Bold dog slave, do you still dare to discuss politics? What does the imperial court want to do, do you still have to listen to your opinion? Come on, go out and scold him for thirty ......."

An Dehai knelt on the ground like a leprosy dog, "Lafayette spare your life, please Lafayette be gracious..."

At this time, Cixi had no choice, her slave didn't have a long face, but she shyly hit the muzzle of the gun, and she couldn't open her mouth if she wanted to persuade her, so she could only watch her beloved slave being dragged out.

After a while, there was a scream like a dead dog in the Kung Fu Palace, and after more than a dozen battles, Ci'an glanced at Zhou Daoying, the great eunuch who was waiting beside Emperor Tongzhi walked out of the hall quickly, and under his instructions, the last few sticks were just a formality.

If the thirty rods are really beaten, it will have to cost An Dehai's dog's life, thanks to Ci'an finally saving Cixi some face, so his subordinates will be merciful. An Dehai, who was dragged in like this, was still beaten half to death, and his buttocks were full of blood oozing out.

"Everyone can see clearly, this is the end of the eunuch's discussion, take it down, let the hospital send someone to apply medicine..."

After An Dehai's farce, everyone's hearts were much calmer, Ci'an stabilized his mind, and suddenly smiled at Ermao.

"Ermao, come here, I have something to ask you...... "The current status of Ermao is not ordinary, he is not only the personal eunuch next to the little emperor, the leader of Western learning, but also a mouthpiece for the negotiation between the royal family and Xiao Letian.

Ermao's role is a bit like the hotline of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, when encountering some contradictions and conflicts, the representatives of the two forces can communicate with each other through this hotline, and what they talked about is highly top secret, and it will never be known to ordinary people.

Prestige sometimes feels ridiculous, but this thing is actually what the common people call face. If you want to govern a country, you must maintain the prestige of the country, and you can't let the people of the whole world laugh at it and be completely disappointed.

Ci'an's attitude The people in the palace have already understood, the royal family is going to bow their heads, how to negotiate and put it aside first, anyway, Xiao Letian must be asked to stop this despicable attack, and the prestige of the court can not be lowered.

"Ermao, you bring a message to your godfather, what is there to wait for him to come to the capital to talk about it, there is nothing that cannot be discussed, what does he want? Open a school to spread Western learning? Or expand his foreign business? As long as there is no rebellion, what can't the imperial court tolerate? Let him stop first, even if the mourning family bows to him......"

Good guy, as soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, if this was spread out of the court, it would not be a collapse in the court, the queen mother of a dignified country actually bowed her head to Xiao Letian, a businessman who had no official body, and gave in, how could her face exist.

As soon as Ermao heard this, he quickly kowtowed like pounding garlic, "Why did the Queen Mother say this? How dare my godfather rebel, he was forced to do this... Woo woo woo ...... "Ermao cried bitterly as he spoke.

"Master, Ermao will always be a royal minion, even if the godfather has a personal favor with me, but it can't suppress the royal grace, the master don't test the slave, the slave is willing to pass the word from it, just ask the queen mother for the sake of the slave's young age, don't blame the wrong errand......"

Ermao has really come out of the experience, and tears come to him, "The slave is no longer a fully living person, the world is so big, where else can we live except in the palace, to be honest, we are out of the Forbidden City, it is really worse than a wild dog..."

The whining cry made the little emperor's heart soften, "Ermao, stand up, I still believe in you, now it's just for you to be a mouthpiece, don't think too much......"

After a show of loyalty is over, the next step is the negotiation link, and Ermao didn't have a second word to pour beans into a bamboo tube to put out Xiao Letian's conditions.

First of all, the imperial court must clarify to the outside world the rumors of Xiao Letian's rebellion, the basin must be Sun Sanhu and they have topped it, and the execution ground on the Tanggu dock is ready, and when the time comes, he will be charged with causing a riot with a knife.

The second is the trouble caused by the Qinglius, these scholars used to scold a few words, but from now on the imperial court must ensure that there will be no more demonstrations against Xiao Letian.

There is also economic compensation, after all, Sun Sanhu represents the Forbidden City, and what he carries in his arms is a genuine secret. Then the imperial court should make up for the losses he caused. The Xiao family's mansion in Tanggu and the gatehouse in the capital, by the way, the goods in several major warehouses are all going to lose money, and Xiao Letian can't be allowed to suffer too many losses.

It is said that the imperial court can still admit it by pinching its nose under these three conditions, but after Ermao said Xiao Letian's fourth request, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became serious.

"The fourth and last point, in view of the two riots in Tanggu Port a year, the Chinese and foreign merchants have been frightened, especially the foreign merchants have fallen into panic. In order to appease the people, the troops of the imperial court were asked to retreat to Tianjinwei, and the security of Tanggu Port was the responsibility of the merchant guards......"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and this one can be regarded as poking into the lungs of the imperial court.
