Chapter 22 Chapter 4 These killers are not too cold

In the twelfth lunar month of 1910, the Spring Festival of the Gengxu Year is coming soon. It has been almost a year since the new emperor ascended the throne, and Zaifeng's regent has become more and more stable.Yuan Shikai ran away, Zhang Zhidong left, but a group of little brothers supported him, and nothing major happened.Although there are still factors of instability, the country is so big, minor illnesses and disasters are unavoidable, as long as it is so-so.The key is that the barrel of the gun is in the hands of the three brothers, and they feel at ease. Now Zaifeng is most concerned about the housing issue.

The original Prince Chun's Mansion was honored as the Qianlong Mansion because Emperor Xuantong was born here, and it became a holy place where no one was allowed to live, so Zaifeng decided to build a new mansion.Where does the money come from? Of course, there is no need for loans and mortgages, nor does it need funding from the Ministry of Finance.The Clan Mansion is responsible for it, with independent accounting, without supervision, and it costs millions of taels, which is just a piece of cake. Zaifeng personally participated in the design. As the emperor's father and an elegant literary youth, the new mansion must stand out from the crowd, show the demeanor of a king, and become the new coordinate of Beijing City.At the same time, the supporting facilities must keep up, the heating must be adequate, the lights must be installed, and the furniture must be imported from Italy.Zaifeng urges the construction party to work overtime, strive to complete the project before the Spring Festival, and present a gift to the new emperor's first anniversary of his enthronement.

Zaifeng thought about how to present a gift, that was a national matter; Cao Min thought about how to live, that was also a personal matter. One day in the twelfth lunar month, at the bustling Qianmen Railway Station in Beijing, several young men and women got off the train.The guy is very handsome, the girl is very pretty, all of them are full of excitement, it can be seen that they are from the Beidiao family. The capital is good. Although sandstorms blow from time to time and the life suitability index is not high, it still cannot stop countless people with dreams from pursuing their dreams.

These people dressed like southerners. They hailed a few rickshaws, came to the east gate of Liulichang, and rented a large house in the small alley in the west of Huoshen Temple. It seemed that they wanted to start a business in Beijing. On the New Year's Eve, amidst the sound of firecrackers, a sign was hung up - "Shouzhen Photo Studio".The neighbors around were very puzzled. They had never heard of it opening on Chinese New Year's Eve. Do they want to have a double happiness as a good omen?Or save some firecracker money?But these people have a lot of ostentation, often eat out, and spend money very aggressively in Beijing dialect.They often wore western clothes, and they looked a bit like overseas students, but returnees were very popular in those days, and they rewarded candidates and Jinshi as soon as they came back.What is even more puzzling is that this place is secluded, not a downtown area, and it is not suitable for a photo studio at all.

However, the people of the imperial capital are very clear-headed, and they don't want to get to the bottom of it at all, and they don't bother to search for human flesh.These days, the more human you are, the more you want to get to the bottom of it, the deeper the water, making you sleepless, why bother? These people are quite mysterious. They go out during the day and come back at night, and close the door early before dark. Mystery is low-key, not showing off, not showing off their wealth, and the neighbors have a good impression of them. The key is that they can enjoy a 25% discount internal price when they come to the photo studio to take a family portrait.

The boys and girls in the photo studio have an ultimate dream, not to freeze other people's headshots in the photo album, but to freeze themselves in history.The dream they decided to realize has only two words: blast people! Young people, in the Mood for Love, don't fall in love, don't take civil servant exams, why bomb people? The reason is very simple, if you want to save people, you must first blow them up.The root of all China's backwardness lies in the old system. In the final analysis, the system was made by people. When people die, the old system will of course not survive, and the Chinese people will naturally be saved.

This operation is mainly in charge of three young people, starting with the third brother who takes the lead.
