I want to ruin the country

The guard patted his body.

"Master, this is all I have!"

Prince Gong felt ashamed and said,

"Whoever still has some, leave it to them!"

Everyone hurriedly took out all the money they had and put it on the table. There was probably at least two or three hundred taels of silver in total.

Shopkeeper Zhu was stunned. What was this for?

Prince Gong said,

"Old Zhu, these are all yours. Learn some skills in a few days and use the money to open a big restaurant.

Next time I come, I'll come and try your cooking. If you don't improve, I'll ask for your money back!"

Old Zhu's eyes instantly filled with tears.

"Master, what can I say?"

Prince Gong said,

"If you make this dish, people won't say you can't do it, but once they taste it, they'll curse you. What the hell is this Chinese food? You'll embarrass everyone in China, don't you understand?"

Old Zhu nodded hurriedly.

"understand!"

Prince Gong said with satisfaction,

"gone!"

When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and whispered to Lao Zhu,

"Old Zhu, when you make a lot of money, marry a white woman. Look at the children she gives birth to. They'll be like coal briquettes. Do you think there are any Chinese people with that color?"

Lao Zhu said,

"Master, it's okay if he's a bit black. He followed me when I was poor, but now that I'm rich, I don't want him anymore. Is he still a human being?"

Prince Gong was happy and patted his shoulder.

"Well done, Old Zhu! No wonder they say most righteous people are butchers. You're quite capable! I wasn't wrong about you!"

After sending Prince Gong away, Shopkeeper Zhu collected the money on the table, closed the shop door, and lay on the bed, sobbing.

He left home with his father when he was ten years old. It has been thirty years and he misses home so much!

Many times I wanted to go back but couldn’t because I had no money. This time there is hope!

Old Zhu muttered to himself, which god must have been moved to save me from this sea of ​​suffering?

Only you know the suffering you endure in a foreign country!

Walking on the road, Prince Gong joked,

"Lao Li, you'll be spending more time here in the future. I think you should open some restaurants first so it's more convenient for you to eat out!"

Li Hongzhang smiled and said,

"Your Majesty, if I had the time to open a restaurant, the Emperor would chop off my head!"

Prince Gong said,

"I didn't tell you to drive it yourself!"

Li Hongzhang said,

"I have to open a restaurant myself. I can't afford it in my lifetime with my salary. If I have money, I will be greedy!"

Prince Gong said,

"There's some truth to that. If you can show yourself above two hundred pounds of gold, the Emperor must be right!"

Suddenly, a pile of shining gold ingots appeared in front of Li Hongzhang. He shook his head, and the gold ingots disappeared!

"Your Majesty, that is not two hundred pounds of gold, it is the chains that take the lives of the Black and White Impermanence.

Although I do not dare to claim to be noble, I am not as good as the best, but better than the worst. I live well on my salary and dare not be greedy!

Prince Gong nodded.

"I was born in an imperial family and have never been short of money, nor do I know what it feels like to be short of money.

But seeing those corrupt officials willing to take the risk of being tortured to death or beheaded, I guess the word "poor" must be quite scary!

Fortunately, the emperor said that he would not allow a commoner to starve to death, but he would not let a good official suffer.

I admire you for being able to do this for these princes.

However, I will be returning to my country soon, and you will have to stay here to look after me.

But please remember one thing, don’t be greedy, the emperor knows this!

If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Given our friendship, I will agree to any amount of money you ask for. Don't risk your life for a few dollars!"

Li Hongzhang was moved when he heard the heartfelt words of the 18-year-old boy.

"Your Majesty, after hearing what you said, would I still be considered a human being if I continued to engage in corruption?

Your Majesty, please rest assured that I, Li Hongzhang, will never bring shame to you or the Great Qing Nation!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw two horse-drawn carriages carrying people galloping towards him, one in front and one behind.

The crisp sound of horse hooves hitting the stone road made a series of rapid sounds.

Li Hongzhang and Prince Gong looked back and saw that the carriage had already approached them. They were very puzzled.

"What's wrong? Is the horse frightened?"

The carriage was already approaching. If they didn't dodge, the two men would definitely be hit and injured by the horses.

Li Hongzhang didn't have time to think, and hurriedly grabbed Prince Gong beside him and flew to the side.

At this moment, two burly men jumped down from the carriage, each holding a flintlock rifle in his hand.

One of them fired a shot at Li Hongzhang.

"boom"!

The bullet whizzed past Li Hongzhang's ear.

After missing the first shot, another man pointed his gun at Li Hongzhang. A loud shout was heard in his ears.

"Stop the thief!"

Then there was a scream of "Ouch!"

The man holding the gun at the back had blood on his face and hand, and it was obvious that he had been hit by some hidden weapon!

Then I saw a few people flying over like eagles descending from the sky.

These people were none other than the four of them, guards from a royal palace and Yi Gaige.

Yi Gaige shouted loudly,

"Protect the prince!"

As he said this, he grabbed Li Hongzhang in his hand and rolled over ten steps away.

At this moment, more than a dozen carriages came running from behind and in front.

The assassin dropped the flintlock in his hand, drew the sword from his back, and rushed forward again with a strange cry.

When Yi Gaige saw this, he realized that those carriages must be the assassins' reinforcements. He was not afraid that the assassins had a large number of people, but he was afraid that the assassins had guns.

Even if you are an invulnerable master, you still have to retreat when you encounter a gun!

Yi Gaige was anxious and yelled,

"The assassin has a gun, so let's kill him quickly!"

Yi Fengshou, who was half a step slower than him, also understood and yelled,

"ah!"

He grabbed an assassin and pulled him in front of him, and with his other hand, he grabbed the other leg of another assassin, and then swung his hands up.

"Hi!"

Everyone heard a "bang" sound, and the assassin's head was smashed onto the stone road, like a smashed watermelon, breaking into pieces!

At this time, Yiping'ou had also come close.

He shouted loudly and grabbed the chest of another assassin. Perhaps he used too much force and one of his hands was deeply embedded in the assassin's chest.

He caught the assassin's beating heart and exerted force.

"ah!"

He pulled out the assassin's heart alive.

The assassin fell to the ground without a sound.

Yi Pingmei had already flown to the front of the first carriage that arrived. He crossed his legs and bent his knees.

He shouted loudly,

"what!"

He clapped his hands and actually knocked a horse upside down, and then it fell to the ground with a thud.

He didn't hesitate at all, he touched the ground with his feet, jumped up high, stepped on the overturned carriage, and shouted again.

"ah!"

He stepped down with all his strength, and heard a "crash", and the carport was kicked to pieces!

An assassin in the car, holding a flintlock rifle, was being stepped on in the chest. Several of his ribs were broken and the ribs pierced his lungs. The assassin died with a "burp".
