late Qing Dynasty arrest

In the lounge, Yelia was sitting on the sofa chatting with Wu Kefan, and the interpreter Zhang Keyao was sitting behind the two of them busy converting Chinese from English to English. Seeing Li Guolou coming out, Wu Kefan said angrily: My lord, don’t you have a meeting for three or four hours? Why did it end so soon? I haven’t met the distinguished French guests yet. I have nothing to do with you here. They have spoken out boldly and frankly.”

Li Guolou ignored everyone's teasing, and said, "My dear Yelia, why don't you go home and rest? Just ask your servant to stay here, aren't you tired after sitting for so long?" He stretched out his hand while talking Help Yelia up, imitate the demeanor of an English gentleman, without any shyness.

Yelia stood up gracefully, knelt slightly to bid farewell to several officers, and said, "I want to live with Mike for lunch, and your expenses today will be charged to my account."

The officers were both happy and regretful, they could only let Li Guolou have a lunch break, and they had to ask Li Guolou to find high-class prostitutes for them later.

Li Guolou was a little dissatisfied, and he didn't want to play the role of a prostitute again. He pointed to Zhang Keyao and said, "Brother Zhang, I've left the matter of the three adults to you. You are such an old man, you can't even ask for advice from a foreign girl." Is it? The chips are all in Xiao Wu’s hands, so you can use them. You were new faces yesterday, and the foreign girl hacked you, so don’t make onions today, and bring more money home.”

When Zhang Keyao asked if it was true, all the chips went to Wu Defu, he patted his chest and laughed, and said: "Little Lizi is on me, Marilyn is good, I will treat her to lunch first." He wants to get started first, after lunch He was afraid that if Marilyn was invited by other gentlemen, he would have no chance.

Upon hearing this, Wu Defu turned his head to look at Bao Yitong, and said, "Why don't we invite three foreign girls to lunch, anyway, someone will sign the lunch."

Wu Kefan said anxiously: "Xiao Wu, do you still need to ask for instructions? Hurry up and leave." After speaking, several people walked together shoulder to shoulder.

Bao Tong puts on the demeanor of an officer, and walks at the end in a leisurely manner. Every time he engages in activities, he always picks first-class prostitutes, so he is never in a hurry.

Yelia looked at the backs of several Qing officials leaving, and said, "Mike, your officers are very nice and have no airs at all, unlike us French nobles who walk with their heads held high all day and immediately reach out to take advantage of women. Your friend is just joking, but he dares not do things with hands and feet, not as courageous as you."

Li Guolou looked up to the sky with a long smile, stopped and said, "Yelia, you don't understand me. I have been assimilated by the British. I am the same as the British in my bones. I will not let off beautiful women when I meet them."

Yelia hooked Li Guolou's arm, stared at Li Guolou with a pair of sapphire eyes, blinked her eyelashes, innocent like a little girl, and said softly: "Mike, I'm not hungry yet, we'll wait Go to lunch later, and finish half of what I did in the morning."

The two foreign gentlemen who passed by could not help turning their heads to look at Li Guolou and Yelia. They both understood the deep meaning in English, and even understood the expressions. The enthusiasm of the prom prince and princess has not diminished until now, and they are too enthusiastic up.

Li Guolou ignored the gazes from the side, and said, "Dear Yelia, I'm afraid it will be too long, so let's eat first, or ask the waiter to deliver the food."

Yelia's blue eyes were full of desire, and she couldn't bear to part with Li Guolou's delicate face. She nodded and said, "Well, I listen to Mike's advice, and I will deliver food at noon, and a bottle of champagne. We will have a candlelight dinner tonight."

Li Guolou couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Honey, will Robinson come?"

Yelia smiled and led Li Guolou away, saying, "What are you afraid of? This kind of thing is not allowed to happen here. Even if Robinson knew that I was in your bed, he would not come."

There must be a fair reason for catching rape in bed, how can a lover catch another lover's rape?Neither reason nor law is suitable, and Li Guolou is still too young to have such experience.

"Oh! This is heaven!" Li Guolou understood that the people in the selling gold cave are protected.

Li Guolou and Yelia were lying on the bed. They did not draw up the thick curtains, but only drew a layer of white gauze, and the light from the window shone in.The naked two people are looking at each other greedily.

After talking about love, they began to tell private stories, and only then did the two get to know something about each other.

Yelia is 30 years old and has no children. The foreign-style house in the capital is rented. He also hired a foreign chef and rented a carriage, as well as a personal maid. .Robinson is a big businessman who has business dealings with White Shipping Company. It happened that Yelia died of her husband, and Robinson took the initiative to care for Yelia's life. The two have been secretly dating for half a year, and Yelia has begun to dislike Robin. Robinson became more and more stingy towards her, and just happened to have a better man to replace him, regardless of Robinson's feelings, he switched to Li Guolou's embrace.

Yelia Wood touched and lay in Li Guolou's arms, and said, "Mike, in fact, I've been watching you since you appeared here, but you didn't see it."

Li Guolou smelled Yelia's hair and said, "I'm a detective, I know now. When I was playing sand crab, you stood behind me and watched for a while, right?"

Yelia raised her head and said coquettishly: "You are smart, I hate the way you play cards, and wipe off your sweat if you lose this little money. So many small moves are fake, so I knew you were going to win at the first glance. , you are a professional gambler."

Li Guolou said: "I just like to gamble with criminals. As for gambling, I seldom participate in it. If I become a professional gambler, I can make money. Are you afraid that I won't be able to support you?"

Yelia; Wood is used to living a luxurious life of the rich, looking for a lover is also looking for a rich man, there must be rich people in the circle of activities, and the poor boy will not be Yelia; Wood's choice, Yelia and Xie Xiuzhu is a type of woman. Even if they are rich, they still want to be richer. Their search for a target is well thought out.

Yelia said coquettishly, "Mike, I'm a woman of status, and it's my fault to see you. But if you want to marry me, first you have to work hard, and second, you have to convert to Catholicism."

Li Guolou sighed: "Yelia, even if I convert to Catholicism, the church will not bless us. We Qing people have committed bigamy, so we cannot get married in the church."

Yelia came to her senses and said, "Forget it, we'll talk about it later. Mike, if you can make a fortune in the past two years, I will marry you. Things like beliefs can change at any time. I don't even bother to go to church now."

Li Guolou said: "Yelia, you can't accept Robinson's money, I will let you live a noble life. And the White Shipping Company will go bankrupt one day, you'd better withdraw your shares as soon as possible, even if you suffer a loss , or you won’t have anything in a long time.”

Yelia put her hands on the bed, stared and said angrily, "I just scolded Little White's lawyer away, and I want to turn back, I don't want to." Angry breasts trembled, as if Li Guolou was a bad person , trying to cheat her out of her money.

Li Guolou sighed and said, "Yelia, lawyers today are different from before. In the past, nobles and wealthy people became lawyers. They had high thresholds and high fees and were serious and responsible in doing things. Now poor people can also be lawyers. If you become a rich man, you can do anything. Little White will make a fake account, make a big hole in White Shipping Company, transfer the assets away, and leave you with a mess of bad debts, and you will have a leaky boat. Let you pay off the company's debts, and you won't even be able to keep your bungalow in Tianjin."

Yelia said angrily, "Then I'll take the business back."

Li Guolou hugged Yelia in his arms and said, "Yelia, have you ever done business? Will the shareholders agree to you to be the general manager? The controlling stake has been firmly controlled by Little White. Now Little Whiteken will offer you this price to buy your shares, but I don’t think you will get half of it next year, and you will jump into the Yellow Sea the year after next.”

Yelia asked suspiciously, "Why didn't Robinson ever tell me?"

Li Guolou was startled and asked, "Robinson knows about your situation?"

Yelia nodded and said, "Of course, I always have to consult with a man. Besides, Robinson is a big businessman. Can I not ask him for his opinion?"

Li Guolou asked: "Does Robinson have shares in White Shipping Company?"

Yelia said, "A little bit, not much, just three percent."

Li Guolou sneered and said: "It's good that you met me, Yelia. Little White and Robinson are not good people. Will the businessman not see the consequences? Robinson spends a little money with you and gets money from Little White. Even better, has Robinson met Little White alone? (Slight pause) Since you know Little White is not a good person, don't tie him up to do business, half of the shares are empty."

Yelia thought for a while, and said: "Mike, when you say it, I can tell that Robinson seems to be short of money now, so he sold his house in Tianjin and said he moved to the capital to develop, but suddenly Why a lot of money. The business guarantee is not as good as before."

"Middlemen like Robinson made a fortune by making a fortune on both sides when the relationship between the two countries was not good. Now the foreigners and the Qing Empire are doing very well. The British Minister Justin; Xin negotiating, even the iron-clad warships will be sold to our Qing Empire, how many chances do you think Robinson has to make a fortune, Robinson is going downhill, and you are right next to me." Li Guolou boasted.

Yelia said softly: "I didn't come to you because of your wealth, but because of this." Yelia's hand stretched out little by little, and it happened to be covered by the quilt and she couldn't see anything.

Li Guolou bowed his head and kissed Yelia's small mouth deeply, and the two of them stuck together again. A new round of journey began. There was a knock on the door, and Li Guolou angrily said: "Xiao Wu, you guys Go play sand crab, I don't have time now."

The chaotic footsteps outside the door disappeared along with the hearty laughter, the two figures in the room were still entangled, and the panting voice made the waiter stick to the door to eavesdrop.Another waitress also came to eavesdrop, and the two waiters blushed and looked at each other, and later the two waiters walked into the storage room;;;;;
