Chapter 265: The Last Days of the Qing Court (9)

However, Dinghui Temple is a large temple, and there are more than a hundred houses in the temple. If you clean up one by one and search like this, don’t just finish the search until the year of the Monkey and Horse.

Yang Rui was anxious when he saw Zhu Jiong, the squadron leader of the first squadron of the Second Battalion, coming over and saying, "Chief, we have caught a eunuch. He said he knew that Cixi and Guangxu were hiding there."

When Yang Rui heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Where is the person, bring him here."

Not long after, a few soldiers rushed to Yang Rui. The man was thin, with a clean white face, short eyebrows and thin eyes, but there was no beard under his chin. He could not tell how old he was, but there were still many wrinkles on his face and the corners of his eyes, so he was about 40-50 years old.

It turned out that Zhu Jiong led the soldiers to clean a side hall. As soon as he fired two shots into the window, he heard someone shouting "Give up your life" and "Surrender", and there were also women's voices. So Zhu Jiong immediately stopped the soldiers from firing, and knocked open the door and saw that there were several eunuchs and palace maids inside, all of whom were so scared that they were no longer looking.

Zhu Jiong was also a little embarrassed. He didn't make much contribution to arresting these prisoners and could not let them go. He didn't know where to take them to supervise them. Finally, he decided to let them stay in this side hall and send two people to guard them. So Zhu Jiong also said to these eunuchs and palace maids, "Stay honestly", "Don't play tricks", etc. At this moment, Zhu Jiong suddenly remembered and asked, "Does anyone know where Cixi and Guangxu were hiding?"

The palace maids all looked at each other and didn't say anything. Zhu Jiong didn't care. Just as he was about to leave, a eunuch suddenly said tremblingly: "Military, I know, and I know."

Several other eunuchs and palace maids looked at the eunuchs they mentioned just now. Two of them glared at him, and the eunuch was also a little daring and shrank his body. But Zhu Jiong immediately became energetic and said, "Do you know where Cixi and Guangxu are hiding? Tell me quickly, don't be afraid." As he said that, he glared at the other eunuchs and palace maids. When those people saw Zhu Jiong's fierce gaze, they were so scared that they shrank into a ball.

The eunuch saw that the others were scared back, and he couldn't help but become more courageous and said, "Military, I can take you there, right behind the hall."

So Zhu Jiong immediately led the eunuch to meet Yang Rui. When he heard that Yang Rui was the leader, the eunuch immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "Slave Huang Jin, please pay tribute to the leader."

Although it was at this urgent moment, Yang Rui almost laughed out loud when he saw him like this and said, "Stand up and talk first."

Huang Jin said, "Zhe!" Then he stood up.

Yang Rui said: "Huang Jin, do you know where Cixi and Guangxu were hiding?"

Huang Jin hurriedly bowed and said, "If you look back at the head, I will know, and I will know."

Yang Rui frowned. The dead eunuch was completely flattering and looked disgusting. The soldiers around him couldn't help but smile. Yang Rui glared at them fiercely and said, "Don't do this in front of us. Take us to capture Cixi and Guangxu. If you really catch it, you will be considered to have made meritorious achievements."

Huang Jin hurriedly nodded and bowed again, saying, "Yes, yes, thank you, chief, thank you."

Yang Rui was also a little amused and cried. He knew that this trick was a conditioned reflex on Huang Jin, so he opened his mouth and did not go through his brain at all. He could not correct it in a short period of time, so he was too lazy to talk about it. So he said to Zhu Jiong: "Take two teams and go with him to see if what he said is true."

Zhu Jiong nodded and said, "Yes!" He turned to Huang Jin and said, "Lead the way."

So under Huang Jin's leadership, Zhu Jiong led two teams of about 30 soldiers through the Main Hall and to the backyard of the temple. This place has not been affected by the war yet and is still very peaceful.

Huang Jin pointed to a closed side hall in front of him and said, "It's here." Before he finished speaking, he immediately heard several "bang bang" gunshots.

Although the bullets flew to somewhere, the soldiers of the People's Army immediately found a place to hide. Even Zhu Jiong grabbed Huang Jin and hid behind a big tree. However, two soldiers raised their charge guns and swept the direction of the shooting.

In fact, no one saw clearly that the bullets were flying from there, so they could only fire in a general direction based on their feelings. The main purpose was not to attack the person who shot, but to carry out certain restrictions and gain time for the concealment of others. But after a burst of shooting, a scream was heard. It seemed that the intensive shooting had a great chance of hitting the big fortune.

After the other soldiers were hidden, they immediately searched for the enemy's hiding position and shot. After 2 or 3 minutes, they hit 7 or 8 enemies in a row, and then there was no sound of counterattack.

After waiting for more than a minute, there was no movement. Zhu Jiong immediately signaled to send a group to advance. So four soldiers from a combat team carefully came out from behind the cover, pushed forward vigilantly, crossed the yard, and came to the door of the side hall, but did not notice any movement. So two more combat teams advanced and all set a warning at the door of the side hall. Other soldiers, including Zhu Jiong and Huang Jin, also came to the door of the side hall.

Zhu Jiong asked Huang Jin, "Is it here?"

Huang Jin nodded repeatedly and said, "It's here, it's here."

Zhu Jiong nodded and said, "Shoot."

The two soldiers held the assault gun and fired at the gate. The gate of the side hall was not thick. The bullets of the assault gun could easily penetrate the door panel. However, when the soldiers were shooting, they deliberately pointed the muzzle diagonally downwards. In this way, after the bullet penetrated the door panel, it would hit the ground and would not cause harm to the people in the hall, because Zhu Jiong wanted to capture Cixi and Guangxu instead of killing the two. Of course, if they were hit by bullets rebounding on the ground, they could only blame themselves for their bad luck.

Sure enough, after the shooting, I heard the screams and crying in the hall. It was obvious that there were people, not a few, so Zhu Jiong immediately said: "Kick the door and crash into it."

A soldier raised his leg and kicked the door hard, kicking the door open. Several soldiers rushed in with submachine guns, shouted: "Don't move", "Rise your hands", "Don't resist", etc.

Zhu Jiong took the soldiers into the hall and saw that there were nearly 20 people inside, including men and women, old and young. They looked at the clothes and waited for the guards, eunuchs, palace maids, officials, and several monks. Although he didn't know who Guangxu was and who Cixi was, he could also see the clothes and accessories. After all, this time he escaped because he was well prepared. Cixi and Guangxu did not change their regular clothes, but they pretended to be wearing the empress dowager. The emperor's clothes and accessories were completely different from others. However, they were all so scared that their faces were pale, and some even shivered.

Zhu Jiong did not ask quickly, but just directed the soldiers to look forward to these people and searched for any other people in the hall. At the same time, he sent someone to report to Yang Duan.

It turned out that Cixi and Guangxu were resting in the quiet room. When they learned that Dinghui Temple was broken by the People's Army, they also knew that the situation was about to go, but they still had to struggle for a while. So Yili and Zaifeng found several guards to protect Cixi, Guangxu and others from the quiet room and wanted to escape from the side door, but the side door had been blocked by the People's Army and could not escape at all, so they had to retreat back to the temple.

After a while of collision, he finally hid in a side hall behind the Great Hall. There were several monks hiding here. Huang Jin followed Cixi and Guangxu hid in the side hall first. Later, Li Lianying sent someone to protect him. As a result, he was captured by the People's Army and offered Cixi and Guangxu.

When Yang Duan heard that it was suspected of having captured Cixi and Guangxu, he immediately became energetic and hurriedly led a team to come over. However, before entering the hall, he saw Huang Jin standing outside the hall. It turned out that although Huang Jin confessed to Cixi and Guangxu, he had been under pressure for many years, so he did not dare to enter the hall to face Cixi and Guangxu.

After hearing the reason of his, Yang Duan felt a little disdainful and said, "What are you afraid of? Come in with me. They are all prisoners now, what else is there to be scary? You have to make meritorious achievements." Of course, Huang Jin was not allowed to refuse at this time, so he had to follow Yang Duan into the palace.

After entering the hall, Yang Duan said, "Look at it carefully, who is here."

Before Huang Jin could speak, Li Lianying jumped up and pointed at Huang Jin and cursed: "Huang Jin, you damn slave, you actually betray the Queen Mother, the Emperor..."

But before he could finish his words, a soldier raised his feet and kicked Li Lianying to the ground, saying, "Be honest."

But Li Lianying was still a little tough. Although she was kicked to the ground, she still kept saying: "You dead servant, Empress Dowager, I'm sorry to you. Why did you do this? I won't forgive you even if I become a ghost."

Huang Jin's face turned red and white when Li Lianying scolded her. She suddenly said, "Master Li, why do I want to sell the Queen Mother? Emperor, please ask Mr. Lam, how did you kill Ping'er?"

When Li Lianying heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and couldn't speak. At this time, Huang Jin obviously took the initiative and pointed at Cixi and said, "Old Buddha, when you ordered Ping'er to be killed the day before yesterday, I didn't expect that today would be there."

Cixi then remembered that the palace maid who was ordered to be killed the day before yesterday was indeed named Ping'er, and Huang Jin was a vegetable household. The so-called vegetable household refers to the palace maid and eunuchs forming a famous couple. Some eunuchs with status and power in the palace often find a palace maid to form a vegetable household. One reason is that someone serves a salary to live in a daily life. Secondly, after retirement, they have a companion, and sometimes they ask the emperor or empress to give a certain palace maid to him as their wife. The palace maids generally cannot refuse, and after forming a vegetable household, they also have a support in the palace. After all, eunuchs who can marry are quite powerful in the palace.
