On the night when Han Yongzhong and Cao Zhenbang boarded the English passenger ship, outside the prison of the official office, three people from the palace were reading the empress dowager's edict to Master Su of the official office.
"Master Su of the Yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs accepted the order" Mr.
Su knelt down on the ground respectfully, his anxious heart finally relieved.
When the imperial edict was read out and Mr.
Su sent off the guests from the palace, he went to the prison of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in person to check on the current situation of Marquis Shengjue.
The dark prison was like a huge abyss, submerging the prisoners in it.
The cell leader held a lamp to guide the way, just like a fishing fire suddenly lit up in this endless abyss.
It makes people feel like they are still alive in this world.
"Sir, when we arrive, Marquis Shengjue will be locked up in this cell."
The cell leader with the lantern pointed at a cell in front and reported to Master Su.
Mr.
Su looked through the wooden fence and saw Hou Shengjue lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.
"Marquis Shengjue" the cell leader immediately shouted sharply.
"Who?"
Hou Shengjue, who was soundly asleep, heard someone calling him, and suddenly stood up as if he was frightened.
"I, the Queen Mother, have passed down the decree.
Tomorrow you will be taken to Caishikou and beheaded.
I am here to ask you, before you die, what else do you want to say?"
Mr.
Su said seriously.
Said to Hou Shengjue.
"Caishikou, is that fun?
Will the master wait for me there?"
Hou Shengjue said and started to giggle.
"Marquis Shengjue, Mr.
Su is questioning you.
If you continue to talk nonsense, I won't be polite," the cell leader scolded him immediately.
"Master Su, is this really a cake?
Is the peach cake delicious?"
Hou Shengjue jumped up to the wooden fence and stared dumbfoundedly at the cell leader and Master Su.
"Your Excellency, this is a Marquis?"
Before the cell leader could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mr.
Su.
"He is a smart man, but he does stupid things.
It's so sad."
Mr.
Su sighed with emotion, and left the endless black abyss with his prison guard, like driving a small boat.
The British-registered passenger ship sailed on the sea for a day and finally docked in the bay near Haicheng in the evening of the next day.
After all the passengers disembarked, the first mate on the ship carefully arranged for Han Yongzhong and Cao Zhenbang to change their clothes and leave quietly.
On the way back to the Governor's Mansion in Haicheng, the two of them couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect that people from that government would instigate foreigners to arrest us.
Thanks to Brother Wang.
If he hadn't saved us desperately, we would have perished at the Tianjin dock."
Cao Zhenbang said, feeling as if an ice pick had been inserted into his heart. , severe pain and coldness.
"Yeah, it's like a dream.

The good brothers who were still full of life yesterday are now separated from each other," Han Yongzhong said, suppressing his emotions, but tears still flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Brother Han, my younger brother studied abroad when he was young.
He always thought that one day he would use what he has learned to regain the country's prestige.
This trip to the capital really made me feel discouraged."
Cao Zhenbang said disappointedly.
"Brother Zhenbang, don't be discouraged.
There are still capable ministers like Governor Zhang in the court," Han Yongzhong immediately comforted him.
"Brother Han, to be disrespectful, no matter how many capable ministers like Governor Zhang are in protecting the country and the people, in my humble opinion, they are probably not as good as those dim-witted officials in the Forbidden City.
Today's imperial court has no big ideas and no regard for The people's life and death are only obsessed with power and power.
If this continues, I'm afraid the Qing Dynasty will become a real power."
Before Cao Zhenbang could say the next words, he was stopped by Han Yongzhong.
"Brother Zhenbang, you can't say this nonsense, especially as an official of the imperial court," Han Yongzhong reminded hurriedly.
"Brother Han's kindness was appreciated by me.
On the boat last night, I thought a lot and decided to resign and study abroad."
Cao Zhenbang's words surprised Han Yongzhong.
"Brother Zhenbang, you have to be careful."
"Alas, Brother Han, what I saw and heard along the way makes me heartbroken.
Take Tianjin as an example, we can't even save the two broken walls left by our ancestors, let alone the others.
Without those arrogant foreign soldiers, I'm afraid Brother Wang Biao and all his brothers are still alive.
I can no longer deceive myself and others," Cao Zhenbang said about his future plans.
"Everyone has his own ambitions.
When you see the Governor, you can tell him personally.
After all, he has been kind to you."
Han Yongzhong understood that it was useless to persuade Governor Zhang.
He hoped that Governor Zhang could persuade Cao Zhenbang by then.
Before they knew it, the two of them had arrived at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
When the soldiers guarding the gate saw Han Yongzhong and Cao Zhenbang returning, they rushed to the backyard to report.
As he ran, he shouted excitedly.
"Master Han and Master Cao are back."
After hearing this, Zhang Ruli, Qingfeng and others hurried to the front yard to greet him.
"The Governor is here, I have returned to my humble post."
Seeing Zhang Ruli, Han Yongzhong and Cao Zhenbang saluted together.
"Just come back quickly without any courtesy," Zhang Ruli said with a smile.
"The Commander-in-Chief looks forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I hope you are back."
Qingfeng was also very happy.
"I have met the Heavenly Master" Han Yongzhong and Cao Zhenbang said hello to Qingfeng in unison.
"You two adults are wise and brave, and have worked hard all the way," Qingfeng returned the greeting.
"Grand Governor, I have failed to trust you with my humble trip to the capital.
Please punish me."
Han Yongzhong took the lead in pleading guilty to Zhang Ruli.
"Yongzhong, Zhenbang, why should I blame you for your ability in doing things?
If it weren't for you this time, I would be dead," Zhang Ruli said with a smile.
"Grand Governor" Han Yongzhong and Cao Zhenbang sighed in unison.
"Isn't it a good thing that all of you should stop sighing about this Governor?
In today's court situation, it is actually a good thing that this Governor is sent to the northwest."

Zhang Ruli hurriedly comforted everyone.
"Grand Governor, you have such a big heart, why don't I see the good things about Northwest?"
Xin Yun said disapprovingly.
"Old man, I asked someone to inquire.
Everyone who has been to the northwest says that it is desolate and has unbearable wind and sand from time to time.
It is not as good as our sunny Haicheng."
Old Man Li looked worried.
"A man is loyal to his country.
The old Master Zuo can withstand the wind and sand in the northwest, and this governor can withstand it even more.
You don't have to worry about this."
Zhang Ruli continued to comfort everyone with a smile.
"Man is not as good as God.
Although the incident in Haicheng caused the disappearance of many villagers, Pindao never thought that it would implicate the governor," Qingfeng said with a long sigh.
"What the Heavenly Master said had it not been for the help of the Heavenly Master, I am afraid that I would not have been able to eradicate Hou Shengjue just by relying on the power of this governor.
If the people of Haitian County knew that Hou Shengjue had fallen, they would probably beat gongs and drums to celebrate," Zhang Ruli praised.
Everyone laughed after hearing what Zhang Ruli said.
