The Qing Dynasty

Chapter 301: Substitution
Teng Yuzhao noticed that the names of all the royal nobles in the capital were on it, even Zai Yi's palace and Ronglu's mansion were clearly marked on it.

Teng Yuzao was still very satisfied with Li Yaoting. It seemed that Li Yaoting wanted to seize all the wealth of the rich and powerful in Beijing!

Teng Yuzhao also noticed that Li Yaoting drew a circle with a red pen behind Prince Qing's Mansion.

At that time, there were no punctuation marks in the strict sense in China. There were only a few simple symbols such as those representing place names. Real punctuation marks did not appear until another 20 years later.

Li Yaoting marked a circle behind Prince Qing's Mansion, obviously indicating that there was something wrong with this place.

Teng Yuzao handed these papers to Wei Jinghai. Although the specific implementation had to be done by Li Xiangze's people, Wei Jinghai still had to arrange the relevant supporting work.

Teng Yuzao asked Li Yaoting, "Hanhun, you marked the back of Prince Qing's Mansion. What does this mean?"

Li Yaoting said carefully, "Marshal, our people are going in and out of the houses or shops of these dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. It is difficult to take away their property without hurting anyone. Prince Qing Yikuang is still in the mansion. I am worried that he will come out to stop us."

Li Yaoting's worries were not excessive. After all, Yikuang was the iron-hat prince of the current dynasty. It would be troublesome if he died at the hands of his own people.

If it weren't for the conflict with Yikuang this afternoon, Teng Yuzao would not care too much about killing a prince. He just needed to be careful when taking action. After all, Yikuang's wealth was too tempting. And Teng Yuzao knew very well that Yikuang's family wealth was huge. Even now, he estimated that it would be worth tens of millions.

However, because of today's conflict, if Yikuang's mansion was robbed tonight or in the next few days, and Yikuang happened to die, then he would probably be involved, and he would at least be a key suspect.

Teng Yuzao was also a little undecided, so he looked at Li Xiance and asked, "Kangnian, how are your preparations going?"

"I have made all the preparations. I have selected 300 reliable men and divided them into two groups. All of them will be dressed in Boxer uniforms and I will personally lead them. We will only act at night, starting tonight."

"Report."

The report in the yard interrupted Li Xiance's words. Wei Jinghai looked out from the open window and saw a staff officer standing at the gate of the yard, and there was another person standing outside the gate. Li Yaoting took a look and hurried out with Wei Jinghai.

In Teng Yuzao's study and reception room, there is a telephone which is connected only to the operations room. Since the staff officer did not call, there must be something important that needs to be reported in person.

Teng Yuzhao guessed that the person who came with the staff officer should be someone from Li Yaoting's security department.

The two of them were out for only a moment before hurried back.

As soon as he entered the door, Wei Jinghai said hurriedly, "Marshal, there is a situation. Liu Zhigang and Zhou Zhan's people have already split up, but they are not heading towards Deshengmen. Instead, they are divided into more than a dozen groups and started to break into the shops along the street to rob. It seems that some people are heading towards the royal palaces in the north of East City."

"According to the report from the brothers who were watching them at the Security Department, these Boxers were carrying bags on their backs. It looked like they wanted to rob before leaving the city and then leave the capital directly from Deshengmen."

Most of the royal palaces and noble families in the capital lived in the East City. Although there were royal palaces and noble houses near the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue was right here, so Liu Zhigang, Zhou Zhan and others did not dare to provoke Teng Yuzhao easily.

Li Xianze got anxious when he heard this. He stood up and said murderously, "Damn it, these bastards are trying to steal our business!"

Teng Yuzhao was also somewhat shocked by the sudden news, but he came up with a countermeasure as soon as he thought about it.

"Ningbo, you are right. Since these people are going to flee to the ends of the earth, and may even continue to work for a secret organization in the dark, they cannot do without money. They want to take the opportunity to make a fortune before leaving."

"Immediately order Cao Futian and Hu Dianjia to strictly guard the east and west walls to prevent them from escaping from these two places." "Order all units to only defend their respective areas and not to move without orders."

"Kangnian, all of your men should go out and chase after Zhou Zhan, Liu Zhigang and the others. Make a bigger noise. Your three hundred people disguised as the Boxers will follow behind your team. They can start to act according to the plan. With them as a cover, we can drive these people away with great fanfare while doing our work."

Teng Yuzao gritted his teeth and said, "With Liu Zhigang, it will be easier to deal with Zhou Zhan and his gang's disturbance. Let's use a trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

"We must go to Prince Qing's mansion, and it would be best if we could get rid of that old villain Yikuang. There must be a lot of silver and valuables in his house, so we must search it thoroughly."

Teng Yuzao warned again, "Make sure to arrange it well. Don't let your own people misunderstand and beat them up as if they were Liu Zhigang and Zhou Zhan's men."

Li Xianze and Li Yaoting agreed and walked out of the yard quickly.

"Marshal, should we notify the Gansu troops in the north city and ask them to stop Liu Zhigang, Zhou Zhan and his gang, and let them leave the city after our people arrive to inspect them?"

Teng Yuzao shook his head, "No need."

Teng Yuzao explained to Wei Jinghai, "The Gansu Army and the Boxers are very close, especially to Zhou Zhan's group. Our notification will probably not work, but will only cause us to fall out with the Gansu Army."

"If they can stop in time and prevent Kangnian's men from catching up, let them go."

Teng Yuzao sighed softly, "If some of them really want to hide their identities and go to other places to make a living, it will be difficult without any money. Even if the court rewards them for killing foreign devils in Beijing, they should be compensated."

Seeing Teng Yuzhao was about to take his military cap from the coat rack, Wei Jinghai said.

"Marshal, you haven't had a good rest these days. I'm watching you in the operations room. If there's an emergency, I'll ask you for instructions."

Teng Yuzhao understood Wei Jinghai's meaning. Tonight's operation could not avoid the involvement of the staff on duty, so it was inappropriate for Teng Yuzhao to take direct command.

Teng Yuzao hesitated for a moment, then hung the military cap in his hand back on the coat rack, turned around and said to Wei Jinghai, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Then he warned, "Ningbo, you must also tell Liu Shijiu and Wang Decheng to control the Boxers we have newly recruited."

"Also, send someone to check whether those who said they were going to Guandong have already left the city. If there are still some who haven't left in time, Liu Shijiu should be sent to watch over them as well."

Wei Jinghai asked, "Marshal, if those people haven't left the city yet, should we ask them to leave the city through Yongding Gate now?"

Teng Yuzao nodded and said, "Okay, so that we don't have to look after them anymore, let them leave through Yongding Gate, the sooner the better."

Watching Wei Jinghai leave, Teng Yuzao walked to the door, closed it, and lit another cigarette. He thought carefully about the possible consequences of Liu Zhigang and Zhou Zhan's disturbance, and whether there were any omissions in the arrangements he had just made.

After finishing a cigarette and finding nothing wrong, Teng Yuzhao sat down at the desk, picked up the stack of documents he had just placed on the desk, and continued to look through them.
