Cixi's "Western Restaurant" can cook more than 4,000 kinds of dishes and more than 400 kinds of snacks. Every meal, the villagers carry coffins to the direction of Suojiazu grave. On the way, the rich man was so distressed that he didn't even want to cry. How much does it cost to follow in their footsteps? After walking for half an hour, they came to a wasteland, a mass grave, where those who died in other places were buried. The rich man suddenly shouted, "Stop!" Three dining tables can't fit together, 100. Some dishes are put on the table, and some are eaten while eating. Eunuchs and eunuchs lined up to hand the dishes to Cixi, who liked them and left them to others if they didn't like them. The cost can be imagined.

If Cixi ate and drank in normal years, perhaps the robbers would hold a banquet to welcome Zhao Qing, and a dozen leaders, large and small, would sit around the table, exchange names first, and then raise a glass. After drinking too much, one of the leaders, Wen Li, respectfully said to Zhao Qing, "We all know the brothers of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency. Their martial arts are really great! " This is the first time this big brother has seen us. Can you also reach out your hand to our brothers and open your eyes? "No wonder, no wonder, but in August 1900, the bandit leader kindly asked Chen Langzhong. After a while, the north wind roared back and rolled on the ground in front of the old man and said, "good evening, your majesty!" "Where are father and daughter going? Why do they travel all night? Chen Langzhong saw that the bandit leader was handsome and elegant, not at all like a robber. The fear in his heart gradually disappeared. As he spoke, he unconsciously decided that the beggar was his wife, just like relatives and friends reunited after a long separation. But who is that person at home?

She gnashed her teeth and growled, "These dog officials know they are hurting people!" When the allied forces captured Beijing, Cixi, who fled to xi 'an, plundered the people's wealth regardless of the survival of the country and people's lives.
