Chapter 71 The Virus Battle of the Empress Dowager
Immortality has always been a topic full of infinite temptation.
Who doesn’t want to live forever?
But Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was extremely surprised when he heard that everyone in the Zhen family had practiced the "Secret Technique of Immortality".
The "Secret Technique of Immortality" was gifted to the Zhen family by the Empress Dowager.
A "secret of immortality" destroyed Dorgon; destroyed Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E... and was about to destroy the Zheng family in Taiwan and the Zhen family in Jiangning.
The old grandmother of the Zhen family is a kind old lady like Shi Taijun of the Jia family.
With Zhen Wen's support, the old lady came to the "old man" tremblingly.
"Old sir, you are the great benefactor of the Zhen family, you can't leave."
"It's normal for people to come and go. Old lady... the secret of immortality is a big trap."
"It's not like I didn't know, but it was too late. I never thought that my Zhen family, who had devoted all their efforts to the Qing Dynasty and died, was plotted by the Empress Dowager and ended up like this."
"Old lady, in the final analysis, we are too greedy. In all dynasties, cunning rabbits die and lackeys are cooked; enemy countries are destroyed and good ministers die...Old lady, how many of the fifth-generation descendants of the Zhen family have been sent away?"
"According to the old gentleman's instructions, I sent two of them away. It was announced that these two children died suddenly, and the rest were kept."
"That's good... Even if you escape the secret technique of immortality, the royal family will not let the Zhen family be safe. If they know too many secrets, the only way is death. Although the two descendants sent away will eat some
It’s a bitter experience, but after all, it can leave the last spark of fire for the Zhen family.”
"Old sir, if we raise our troops now, how sure are we?"
"Even if you unite the three feudal lords and the Taiwanese Zheng family, your chances of winning will not be more than half. Moreover, your sponsors have already evacuated."
The old lady turned her head to Zhen Wen.
Zhen Wen said: "No gold or silver was delivered last month. I sent people to that building. All the spies we were monitoring were dead. The building was already empty... I was afraid that the old lady would be worried, so I didn't
Dare to report."
"This is normal...the building is about to collapse, who will be willing to help it?" the old lady said, leaning on a cane.
"According to reliable information, Pingxi Prince's Palace, Jingnan Prince's Palace and Pingnan Prince's Palace have not received gold or silver sponsorship since the beginning of winter last year."
The old lady turned to the "old man" and said: "It seems that we have really been abandoned... The old man gave us the slogan of self-reliance when he came three years ago, but it is a pity that the descendants of the Zhen family are not living up to expectations..."
Then the old lady turned to Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) and said: "Is this Baoyu from the Jia family in the capital? When you come to Jiangning and enter the Zhen Mansion, don't you want to come and say hello to the old lady? Forget it, I'm not aggrieved.
You...I received a letter from Mrs. Shi two days ago. You are on the right path. The old man told us a long time ago that the day you came to Zhen's house was the merger of Tianwei Camp and Diwei Camp.
At this time, it is also the beginning of rescuing the Zhen family."
"The old lady is serious. The Zhen and Jia families are close friends. It is my responsibility to protect both families with all my heart."
"The situation of the Shi family is similar to that of the Zhen family. All the direct male members of the Shi family have practiced the secret of immortality."
The "historian" in the old lady's mouth is the historian in "Jia Shi Wang Xue".
Unexpectedly, a "historian" famous for his literature could not escape the fate of being plotted by the Empress Dowager.
Baoyu was angry!
What does this old witch from Xiaozhuang want to do?
Kill all the wealthy nobles?
"Arranging spokespersons among wealthy nobles is a consistent tactic of this conspiratorial old queen... In the Jia Mansion, even the second sister-in-law Wang Xifeng is her minion. In the Zhen Mansion, who will be her spokesperson?" Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)
) looked around, although he seemed careless, he was observing everyone carefully.
This "minion" must be found, otherwise it will always be a scourge! Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) does not want to leave himself a "big mine" that may explode anytime and anywhere.
"Is it the maid named Chun Nuan? Probably not. The insidious and cunning Empress Dowager will never choose an easily exposed girl to be the chief spokesperson...who could it be?"
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) has a headache.
Seeing the "old man" looking at Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) eagerly, the old lady said: "You all come from the world of immortals. You must have more to say... In this case, let's go first."
"Old lady, goodbye."
The "old man" waved his withered arms as if saying goodbye for the last time.
After all the Zhen family members left, the "old man" said: "I know what you are looking for. The chief spokesperson arranged by the Empress Dowager in the Zhen Mansion is Zhen Wen."
"ah?"
"Zhen Wen has outhouses in both Yangzhou and Chengdu. He thinks he is keeping it secret... I had someone install a listening device in his study... He has three sons and a daughter over there in Chengdu, and he has three sons and a daughter over there in Yangzhou.
They are two sons. In addition, he is the general person in charge of the Jiangning branch of the Old Peony Society. Most of the young women who were snatched by Liu Rushi, oh, I should say Concubine Dong E, came to Jiangning."
"It seems that the Empress Dowager's goal is not Yangzhou, but San Francisco, or Taiwan. Is it possible that the King of San Francisco, with our assistance, could just go to Beijing directly?"
"Originally I also had this idea, but Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong and Monk Kexi couldn't help them at all. Not to mention that all the Zheng family in Taiwan practiced the secret art of immortality. And most importantly, the Empress Dowager found an expert
It was extracted that the smallpox virus was hidden in thirteen places in the south of the Yangtze River. I divided the newly reorganized underground health camp into thirteen places, and each one was responsible for finding the places where the smallpox virus was hidden."
"Let me just say, it is divided into thirteen places, which is weird."
"If the San Francisco King launches a rebellion, the smallpox virus will run rampant in the land of Jiangnan..."
The "old man" became more and more excited as he talked. He simply got out of bed and stood on the ground and walked to a large map.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s mood is getting heavier and heavier. This is a reflection of light.
"The hiding place of the smallpox virus in Jiangning is here. Linjiang Teahouse, the most famous teahouse in Jiangning. Underground of Linjiang Teahouse is the headquarters of the Peony Society in Jiangning. The women who have practiced the secret of immortality are also here. You
My senior brother Chen Jinnan is also inside..."
As he spoke, the "old man"'s raised arms dropped weakly, his head resting on the map and he "sleeped" quietly.
Always "asleep".
Baoyu (burning small stone) is speechless.
How sad is it to watch oneself die without being able to do anything?
He put the "old man" on the bed, walked out of the thirteenth floor, and said to the guards outside, "The old man is gone."
Tears welled up all of a sudden.
When I came to Jiangning, I never expected that I would cause so many things.
Seeing Zhen Wen walking towards him, the first thing Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) thought of was to get rid of the traitor.
