Qin Zheng and his group came to the entrance of the inn and saw five eunuchs standing outside, followed by a team of guards. Only one of the five eunuchs was empty-handed, and the other four were holding a large tray in their hands. Although they were covered with yellow silk, it can also be seen that the things in the tray were a set of official clothes.

The post officer hurriedly gave Qin Zheng guidance and said, "Governor Qin, this Eunuch Wan is specially sending you official uniforms to pay."

Qin Zheng nodded, bowed to Wan Haicheng, and said, "Eunuch Wan has always been good."

Wan Haicheng looked up and down at Qin Zheng, and said calmly: "Is this the new Shandong Governor Qin Zheng?"

Qin Zheng said: "It's just going down."

Wan Haicheng nodded, and still said in an emotional tone: "Okay, okay, this time our family has served the Queen Mother and the Emperor's dispatch to send official uniforms to Lord Qin and teach Lord Qin to perform ceremonies so as not to be rude when he sees the saint tomorrow."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "It's a blessing for you. Please go to the inn first to speak." As he said that, he turned sideways and made an invitation.

Wan Haicheng was not polite, and walked into the inn with his head held high. The other four small eunuchs also followed him. Deng Yongjian, Liu Hongjie, Zhang Jianping and others followed behind. Seeing the arrogant look of these eunuchs, they were all quite angry. Zhang Jianping whispered: "Die eunuch, you don't even have a root, why are you so arrogant?"

Deng Yongjian was a person who knew the general, shouted in his voice: "Everyone said less."

Qin Zheng accompanied Wan Haicheng into the hall of the inn and gave the main seat to Wan Haicheng. Wan Haicheng was not polite, and sat on the main seat, and the other four little eunuchs stood behind him in left and right.

The post official brought the tea. Wan Haicheng took a sip of tea, then looked at Qin Zheng sitting in the guest seat, and said, "Mr. Qin, you are originally overseas survivors. You have become governors all at once. Not to mention that you can reach the sky in one step, it is not much better. These are all the grace of the empress dowager and the emperor."

Qin Zheng thought to himself, this dead eunuch would not let him try on clothes and do whatever he wanted. However, although he thought so, he still agreed with a perfunctory agreement.

Wan Haicheng could naturally see Qin Zheng's perfunctory attitude, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. This group of overseas Chinese were too ignorant. It seemed that it would be impossible to say it in such an understatement, so he said: "Although you defeated the foreigners, it was also entrusted to the Queen Mother and the Emperor's blessing. Don't be self-righteous. Moreover, our Qing Dynasty is a rule-based country, no better than your overseas ones. Even if you come to the Qing Dynasty, you will have to put away your ones."

Of course, Qin Zheng could hear that Wan Haicheng's words were thorny, and he was clearly looking for a recommendation. He couldn't help but wonder. Was it difficult for Cixi to send him to test his attitude? The others were also angry, but seeing that Qin Zheng did not speak, they didn't say anything.

When Wan Haicheng saw that he had been talking to Yu for a long time, Qin Zheng still didn't respond, and he couldn't help but feel angry and said, "Mr. Qin, have you been overseas for a long time and even forgot about China's regulations? Or do you have no regulations overseas?"

Although Qin Zheng was still not sure what he meant, the meaning of picking up his arms was getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help but feel angry. No matter what the purpose of this dead eunuch was, he couldn't be too weak. So he said: "Of course we have our rules overseas, but we don't know what rules the Qing Dynasty has."

Wan Haicheng naturally heard Qin Zheng's words and said that he had a number one figure in the palace, and he was Li Lianying's godson. He was always polite when he saw him, and he had never been scolded by others. Therefore, he stood up and said, "Since you don't understand the rules of the Qing Dynasty, then let's teach you. Don't look at the court as a Shandong governor, but in this official uniform," he pointed back, "but it's not that easy to wear."

At this time, Qin Zheng understood the intention of Wan Haicheng. He smiled without being angry and said, "Oh, why is it hard to wear? Isn't this the official uniform given by the emperor?"

Wan Haicheng said: "It is true that the official uniform was given by the emperor, but it was also sent to you by our family. Who is our family? He is the one who is waiting for the Empress Dowager, but he is not the one who serves you. He sends you official uniforms and teaches you to perform gifts. That is your blessing. Could you really think that you are a person? It has delayed our family's efforts to serve the Lord. Can you afford this loss?"

At this time, not only Qin Zheng, but also others understood Wan Haicheng's intention. It turned out that after struggling for so long, he wanted money, so he looked at Qin Zheng to see how he handled this matter.

Of course Qin Zheng knew that eunuchs asked for money from officials was one of the hidden rules of the Qing court. It is said that Zuo Zongtang quelled the rebellion in Xinjiang and made great contributions to Tuobin. The two empress dowagers were overjoyed and asked him to report to him, and gave him a pair of mojing glasses worn by the late emperor Xianfeng. Unexpectedly, the eunuchs were greedy for money and gave them glasses when they gave them glasses. They quarrels at Zuo Zongtang: If you want to take this pair of glasses from the late emperor, you have to pay 3,000 taels of silver. Zuo Zongtang is upright and doesn't even sell Zeng Guofan's account, so why would you be willing to take this bird's breath? What kind of "Last emperor's glasses" are you not going to want! Seeing that the matter is going to be bad, Li Hongzhang took the overall situation into consideration and privately gave him 3,000 taels of glasses for him, and then bought the glasses and gave them to Zuo Zongtang.

This joke may not be a fact, but it also shows that the eunuchs are bold in asking for money for money. They dare to ask for money for anything and dare to ask for money from anyone. Today, they are naturally encountered by themselves. Of course, it is not ruled out that Cixi deliberately indulged her and tested her attitude. However, it is okay to kowtow to Cixi, but it is not enough to bribe the eunuch. First, there is no such money. Zuo Zongtang had 3,000 taels of glasses, and this set of official uniforms would definitely not be much easier. Second, even if he had money, he could not give it. After opening this hole, he would not be used as a fat sheep prison by these dead eunuchs in the future. Guan Jian is now a time-travel group, so there is no need to please these dead eunuchs. So Qin Zheng deliberately said: "I didn't ask Eunuch Wan to come and send me clothes. If Eunuch Wan felt that sending clothes to me was delayed by serving the empress dowager, why wouldn't he quit this job and let the empress dowager send someone else?"

When Wan Haicheng heard this, he was almost so angry that he vomited blood. He didn't know if Qin Zheng really didn't understand or was angry on purpose. He said, "Today, our family won't talk much about you. I'll take 10,000 taels of silver, and we'll let you wear this official uniform. If we don't give the money, our family will immediately take away the official uniform, let you enter the palace, be dissatisfied with the queen mother, and the emperor."

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "We have some money, but we won't give it one or two. If you want to take it away, just take it away. Without this official uniform, I can still meet the queen mother and the emperor. But I'm afraid that you can't pay it back and you can't pay it. If you want to deliver it to me, it will not be so easy."

When Wan Haicheng heard this, he couldn't help but get angry. He worked in the palace for more than 30 years, and was promoted from an ordinary eunuch to a fourth-rank Hualing General Manager. He also recognized Li Lianying as his godfather. Almost all important officials of the Qing court had come into contact with anyone and had collected money, but he had never seen such a person.

After the Gengzi Rebellion, Wan Haicheng, as a few eunuchs named by Cixi, followed Cixi, and Guangxu escaped from Beijing together. He suffered a lot along the way. However, after arriving in Shanxi, he was far away from Beijing. Secondly, there were local officials to receive him along the way, so he became much more stable. The eunuchs were not willing to remain silent and began to blackmail money from local officials along the way. Cixi naturally banned these bad things, but it was originally a custom of the court, and these eunuchs shared hardships with him. The money they had saved in the palace was probably looted by the Eight-Nation Alliance, so they should have made some money.

Of course, Cixi herself was not clean in this regard. It turned out that when she was in the palace, Cixi had a way to make money, which was to sell official positions and saved huge amounts of property. After arriving in Xi'an, the old woman felt that she was poor, and the private money hidden in the capital might have been stolen by the foreigners, so she began to sell a large number of official titles again. The officials in the local area that were difficult to get close to the Lady Buddha also frequently moved. They seized this opportunity to buy official positions, common people spent money to buy official positions, and alternates spent money to buy actual titles; the magistrate spent money to buy a prefecture, so Cixi had already sold a lot of official positions for this and saved a lot of money.

Of course, Cixi would not personally negotiate for the price, so the eunuchs naturally acted as intermediaries, and of course they also raised some points from it. Lafayette could also drink some soup after eating meat.

However, once, he sold an official and sold a trouble, which made Cixi feel very unhappy. It turned out that there was an official named Shi who was in Tongguan Hall for many years and had some savings and wanted to buy a Taoist. But he had been struggling with no way. After Cixi and her party arrived in Xi'an, he thought that the time had come. He sent his subordinates to bribe Li Lianying. Li Lianying told Cixi that the person surnamed Shi wanted to buy a Taoist at an appropriate time. Cixi thought for a while and told Li Lianying that the court was out of dust now, and the official price was cheaper, but the Taoist officer could be promoted to two departments, and at least 10,000 silver was required. Li Lianying passed the price to the official surnamed Shi. The small official shouted that it was really cheap, so he immediately issued a silver note and sent his subordinates to send it to Li Lianying.

The palace in Xi'an was actually the governor's yamen, which was not as tightly guarded as the original palace. The guards were all the original yamen runners. The person who gave the money brought silver bills to the palace to find General Manager Li, and somehow he broke into the yard where Cixi lived in a dull manner. This was a heinous crime. If it was called "Chuanggong" in the capital, let alone a servant, even a prince or a minister, he would have to be cut off. As a result, the person who gave the money was caught by the eunuch on duty and asked: "Who told you to come in?" Answer: "Mr. Chen." Cixi was furious when she heard the Xun. It turned out that the words "Chen" and "Cen" were in Shaanxi dialect.

It was said that it was homophones. Cixi thought that this was the person sent by Cen Chunxuan to monitor her, so she immediately ordered the person to Cen Chunxuan, probably to see how he interrogated her. Cen Chunxuan found out the truth after asking. The young boss of the person who gave the silver bill was named "Chen". The final result was that the subordinates who "went into the palace" were executed, and the Shi, who wanted to buy a Taoist lord, and the young boss of the money giver, were dismissed. All the yamen runners guarding the palace that day were exiled to the frontier. As for the 10,000 taels of silver bill, after a long investigation, no one said that they could not find it. In fact, they were divided privately by a group of eunuchs.
