The Queen Mother looked at Mr.
Yang at the Yamen of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and suddenly said calmly to An Ying beside her.
"Xiao Anzi, you are right.
In the Qing Dynasty, there are probably only a handful of important officials in the court who are as diligent in government affairs as Mr.
Yang."
"Wei Chen is afraid that Wei Chen is just doing his duty as a minister.
Wei Chen is really worthy of the Queen Mother's praise."
Mr.
Yang stood up in a hurry and reported back.
"Master Yang, you don't have to be too modest, Xiao Anzi.
As per the imperial decree, I will give Master Yang thirty taels of silver and a yellow mantle."
Master Yang was flattered by the sudden reward from the Empress Dowager.
In his opinion, he just wanted to end this troublesome matter in the yamen as soon as possible and keep the black gauze hat on his head.
The trouble is not over yet, so how can I be rewarded in a daze?
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace."
Mr.
Yang thanked him immediately.
Thinking that this matter would not be settled for a day, it would still be his own business.
He wanted to ask for it, but was stopped by the look of Manager An Ying.
"It's been a lot of trouble for the past few days.
I finally got some free time today.
I want to have some quiet time, Mr.
Yang, so I can kneel down and pay my respects," the Empress Dowager ordered unhurriedly.
"The Queen Mother has been working hard on state affairs all day, and she must take good care of her body before I resign."
Mr.
Yang knelt down and resigned immediately.
"Xiao Anzi, go and see Master Yang off," the Queen Mother ordered again with her eyes closed tightly.
An Ying bowed and nodded in response, and left Shichuanfang with Mr.
Yang.
Seeing that they were far away from Shichuanfang, An Ying stepped back.
One person personally sent Mr.
Yang off.
"Thank you, Chief An, for your advice.
Otherwise, I really don't know how to handle this matter."
Mr.
Yang thanked An Ying gratefully.
"You don't have to be polite, Mr.
Yang.
No matter what, everyone is doing things for the court and the Queen Mother."
An Ying replied calmly.
"Director An, you just told me not to ask you to handle Zhang Ruli's Japanese spy case.
Why?"
Mr.
Yang then expressed his doubts.
"Mr.

Yang, I know that you want to settle this matter quickly, so I feel relieved.
Didn't you hear what the Queen Mother meant?"
An Ying asked.
"What General Manager An said is true.
I'm a stupid official, so please give me some advice from General Manager An."
"I have served the Queen Mother for many years.
At first, the Queen Mother asked about Zhang Ruli's case against the Japanese spy, but then she just said nothing about it.
That means the Queen Mother has other plans.
As for how to arrange it, it is not for us to make random guesses.
That's it," An Ying replied seriously.
"It's really unpredictable.
General Manager An will stay, and I will resign."
Mr.
Yang saluted An Ying and said goodbye.
An Ying returned the gift, watched Master Yang go away, and returned to Shichuanfang.
At this moment, Han Yongzhong and Cao Zhenbang had not slept all night and had been wandering in the streets of the capital.
When they saw a restaurant selling breakfast, their stomachs were already growling.
"Brother Zhenbang, if you don't sleep well this night, your stomach is full of empty-city tactics.
Why don't we take a rest first and listen to the discussion in the capital?"
Han Yongzhong suggested.
"That's fine," Cao Zhenbang nodded and replied.
The two of them entered the restaurant together, ordered two bowls of bean juice, a plate of pickles, and a few steamed buns, and then slowly began to listen to the comments of the people around them.
"If you look at the Beijing News this morning, there is no major incident in Haicheng."
A thin old man wearing glasses said to a few familiar diners around him.
"Old Master, what could happen?
Could it be that foreigners are trying to steal our right of way again?"
A diner asked with a smile.
"I said that because Lao Huang has experienced the excitement of today's case, but it is no less than protecting the road."
The old man wearing glasses replied seriously.
"Oh, that's amazing," several other diners said with emotion.
"Old Master, please read it to everyone quickly," another diner said.
"Listen carefully," said the old master, shaking his head and beginning to read the Beijing News.
For a moment, the restaurant was silent, and every diner listened patiently with their eyes wide open.
Even the waiter serving the food was distracted.
When the old master talked about the wonderful things, the old diners couldn't help but applaud.
After listening to it, the old diners still felt unsatisfied.
The discussion continued.
"The Governor of Haicheng, Zhang Ruli, is really a bloody man who really gave our Qing Dynasty face."
"Those Japanese pirates are too arrogant.
Since the First Sino-Japanese War, they have never looked at us, Commander Zhang Ruli, but they gave us a bad breath."
"Yes, if the evil spirit gets out, I'm afraid Governor Zhang Ruli of Haicheng will get into trouble."
"Although it is natural for Governor Zhang Ruli to punish the Japanese spies, how can the Japanese devils be willing to let it go?
Today's imperial court" "Everyone, please order as much as you want."
The old master interrupted the last diner, as if he was worried about something.
Several diners nodded understandingly and said no more.

The whole restaurant returned to reading the newspaper.
Han Yongzhong and Cao Zhenbang never spoke.
After listening to the discussions of several old diners, they left in a hurry.
"Brother Zhenbang, it seems that the Beijing News is really powerful.
It can make Governor Zhang's name spread throughout the capital overnight," Han Yongzhong couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Han, we are going to cause a big storm in the capital this time.
Only the bigger the storm will be, the safer Governor Zhang will be," Cao Zhenbang replied calmly.
"Brother Zhenbang, you said that the empress dowager who monopolizes the government, what would she think if she read this morning's newspaper?"
Han Yongzhong asked.
"It's hard to say, but I can be sure that with this weighty newspaper, the enlightened officials in the court will lend a helping hand to Governor Zhang," Cao Zhenbang replied affirmatively.
Han Yongzhong nodded and couldn't help but sigh.
"This capital is really not a place for people to come.
If I didn't have a virtuous brother, I would be helpless."
"My brothers, why are these soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth?
We are camp step by step, and we are not afraid of Hou Shengjue and his masters making trouble."
Cao Zhenbang replied calmly.
"What my dear brother said is true," Han Yongzhong nodded and responded.
"Brother Han, the Governor has not heard from our two brothers in the past few days, so he must be very anxious.
We will report the matter to the Governor now," Cao Zhenbang suggested.
"Yes, the Governor is eager to see us.
He is looking forward to our safe return every day.
Then we will send a report immediately."
After Han Yongzhong finished speaking, the two brothers rented a carriage and rushed to the Capital Telegraph Office without stopping.
I wish you all a happy weekend in advance:
