late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 132 The Greedy Thief

Under the oil lamp on the wall of the corridor, Li Guolou opened the invitation card, and was startled when he saw it. This is not an invitation card for inviting him to dinner during the Spring Festival. It is a charcoal drawing. The little girl in the painting is smiling sweetly at him. There is one more line.Li Guolou didn't even dare to look at it, he hurriedly closed the sketch paper, his little heart was beating wildly.

Li Guolou went to tell the three wives to leave and stop listening to the opera.Xie Xiuzhu acted like a baby and refused to leave. She has a musical talent, although she can't understand what the fat woman is singing?But the touching and high-pitched melody made Xie Xiuzhu moved by the tragedy of La Traviata.

Knowing the result, Chen Xiangfang said, "Second Grandma, call me when it's over, and I'll go to the private room to sleep for a while." After speaking, Chen Xiangfang didn't say hello to Li Guolou, and walked away wearing a pair of slippers up.

Li Guolou hurriedly leaned down and asked, "Yelia, how much time is left for this opera?"

Yelia whispered: "Mike, sit down and enjoy it. This is a real opera singer, Ms. Vitas, the pride of France. There are still two last acts, which are very touching. You should enjoy them quietly."

Yelia ignored Li Guolou no longer, and watched with Xie Xiuzhu with a telescope, and attached it to Xie Xiuzhu's ear, telling Xie Xiuzhu the wonderful things. The two had a common hobby, and they couldn't help becoming Get close.As soon as La Traviata's opera came out, two best friends came into being.

Li Guolou had no problem pretending to be a gentleman. The more than one hour torment was just practiced on the playground of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. No one could see Li Guolou's hatred of Western opera in his heart.When it was time to clap, he was the first to clap, and when it was time to wipe away tears, Li Guolou handed the handkerchief to Xie Xiuzhu.If you want to win the heart of your girlfriend, you must cultivate the same interests and hobbies as your girlfriend.

Li Guolou's perfect performance made Yelia and Xie Xiuzhu very satisfied. At the end, they discussed with Li Guolou whether the tragedy of Margaret the La Traviata should happen or not.Li Guolou's insight is unique, such a good girl has not met him, otherwise she would not be watching the theater with her beloved woman like now.He will not be fettered by family and social ethics, and dare to love and be the three wives who care for his beloved for a lifetime.

Yelia and Xie Xiuzhu were very satisfied with Li Guolou's answer. They returned to their true colors and walked around Li Guolou, hooking Li Guolou's arms, making Li Guolou stand tall and enjoy the jealous eyes of the people around him like an emperor.

Li Guolou went to the private room to wake up Chen Xiangfang, and the four of them had some trouble walking.The grandma reasoned that Chen Xiangfang should walk on the right side of Li Guolou, and the other side was not easy to settle.It is not a good thing for Yelia and Xie Xiuzhu to be alone. Li Guolou can only let the two wives who have become girlfriends walk behind, and this will be the case in the future. The etiquette must be followed, otherwise how can it show the Qing Empire system superiority.

Yelia Wood hired two carriages, and she had two personal employees, one was Sherry Jones, the housekeeper and maid, and the other was Edward Jones, the cook.Yelia Wood had so many salutes that there was no room in the carriage, and there were suitcases strapped to the roof.

Yelia had no choice but to sit in the carriage that Li Guolou was riding in. Chen Xiangfang had a good attitude and let Yelia and Li Guolou sit together, with a graceful and generous attitude, without any jealousy.Then Chen Xiangfang began to talk about her food dream. She was very interested in French cuisine and wanted to invite Chef Edward Jones from Yelia to teach her how to cook French cuisine.

Yelia said coquettishly: "It depends on Mike, he will use his skills to charm me, otherwise I may not return to the capital. Grandma, are you right?"

Chen Xiangfang sneered and said: "Yelia, you posted it like this, and you refused to let Xiaolou go even for a day, and you took the initiative to join our three-person world, and you won't dislike Xiaolou so quickly. In the future - just like I learned After learning French cuisine, will Chef Edward teach again? There will be a day when we will break up."

Xie Xiufang retorted: "Grandma, your metaphor is not correct. The relationship between you and Edward is a master-student relationship. Of course we have to break up. The relationship between Xiaolou and Mrs. Yelia is a bit complicated and has no legal effect, unless Ye Mrs. Leah renounced her French nationality, so Xiaolou and Mrs. Yelia could separate and reunite several times. Mrs. Yelia would come and go, come and go, none of us could guess how many times they would break up? "

Yelia asked back: "Mike, do you think I will leave?"

Li Guolou said: "As a detective, I will tell the truth, but for myself, I will say no."

Yelia said: "Now I will say no, I can still swear, but the vows of our French marriage contract can also be broken, so swearing is useless. Looking at the future, Mike, you will spend a lot of money if you want to lie to me effort."

Li Guolou ignored the titters of Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu, and confessed: "My dear Yelia, why should I lie to you for money? What I want is your heart."

Yelia smiled slightly as if she had figured it out, and said, "Mike is so late today, and he has to move his luggage and tidy up his room. Don't leave tomorrow. Where do you put your heart at night?"

"This;;;;;;" Li Guolou couldn't answer, looked at Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu, and then hugged Yelia and began to kiss her in front of them.

"Change seats later!" Chen Xiangfang raised her voice.

"I'll be home in an hour, take your time, I'm not in a hurry!" Xie Xiuzhu put her hand on Li Guolou's thigh.

A row of lanterns hung under the plaque of Wei Mansion in Dengcao Hutong. The master did not come home, and the servants did not sleep.The three carriages came back in the middle of the night, and the people in the mansion were all busy, moving their luggage, boiling water and making room for the room.Originally, Li Guolou had arranged a room for his brothers and sisters to live in. Now that someone came to live in a few days earlier, it was not too hasty.It's just that there is a long-term carriage and two horses to take care of. This temporary situation is unexpected, and Li Guolou tried his best. Fortunately, he won't leave tomorrow.

Seeing Wei Xiaoliu's excited expression, Li Guolou said, "Little Liu, let's talk about it after we finish our work. Second Mistress is also tired. I'll call you later."

Li Guolou guessed that his decision at noon was correct, and if there is a cause, there will be an effect. When a priceless treasure suddenly came to Zhenbaoxuan, someone made a plan.

Xie Xiuzhu introduced Yeliya and other three people in front of all the people in the house. This is the future family members. Another carriage driver, Liu Mingcheng, everyone knows each other.Yelia's salute was sent to the inner house, and the room was installed on the west side of the second floor, which happened to be at the two ends of Li Guolou, so that Xie Xiuzhu and Chen Xiangfang could find out what Li Guolou and Yelia did in advance.

Yelia carried 31 suitcases, and Yelia carefully counted them one by one, and let Li Guolou see her meticulousness.Li Guolou didn't care about carrying suitcases upstairs and downstairs, and put the suitcases in Yelia's room one by one. It was nothing to do with him. It was a cumbersome thing for a woman to sort out her clothes.

Li Guolou and Xie Xiuzhu went to the outer house to meet Wei Xiaoliu and asked about Zhenbaoxuan during the day. As Li Guolou expected, the thief was thinking about Zhenbaoxuan, and the hole had already been dug.The thieves saw more than 20 arresters coming, checked the caves, checked the household registration, and asked about the surrounding residents. Before they found the shop rented by the thieves, all the thieves fled.

Li Guolou asked, "Little Six, is that hole blocked?"

Wei Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Godfather, I haven't mentioned that hole yet. The thieves are very greedy, and they dug a huge project. Not to mention our shop, they even dug holes into two nearby shops. It’s not godfather, you have the foresight, our neighbors will also suffer. Ai bald saw the two holes and asked our neighbors to see. The two families were blackmailed by Ai Hai for four silver ingots. I’m sorry, I’ll do it for you Dad gave me two silver ingots, so we can’t let the neighbors gossip, it’s also good for our business reputation, godfather, I did nothing wrong.”

Li Guolou said with a smile: "Sixth son, you are the manager. This right is your responsibility. You will bear all the mistakes. Don't ask me in the future. I am the same as the second grandma. I believe that you can manage this family well."

Wei Xiaoliu scratched his head, chuckled, and said, "Godfather, people make fun of me all the time now, saying that I found a young daughter-in-law and that I am my girlfriend's father."

Li Guolou replied: "A ten-year age difference between a man and a woman is nothing, I just—ahhh!" Li Guolou blocked his throat and stopped talking.

Xie Xiuzhu glanced at Li Guolou and had a strange thought in her heart. Could it be that her age was heard by Li Guolou?Not right either!She was not ten years older than Li Guolou, and immediately understood that Mrs. Yelia was ten years older than Li Guolou.Patting Li Guolou on the shoulder, he said with a smile, "Fortunately, I fell in love with you and invited you into the house. Otherwise, the creditors will have a big party here during the Chinese New Year this year, and I only have one day to cry until late. Hmph! Zheng Zizi still wants to do this." Xiaolou put Zheng lame in jail this morning and made him lame his other leg."

Li Guolou asked: "Little Six, did Zheng Zizi and your Zhenbaoxuan do business in the past?"

Wei Xiaoliu said: "Zheng Zizi came to the capital to do business with our Zhenbaoxuan at the beginning of this year, and sold some jade materials to our shop. This business is introduced by friends, who said they came back from Siam. Master Wei also once did business with him."

Li Guolou nodded, paced in the living room, and said, "Second Grandma, when you give Zheng Laizi the banknote tomorrow, I will meet Zheng Laizi. It is not enough to arrest him now. There is no evidence. He is doing business with you in an open and honest manner." .But this gang of thieves is getting more and more hungry, and one day I will catch them all."

Wei Xiaoliu asked, "Godfather, why is Lame Zheng not doing a good job in the jade business, so why is he willing to do such an unconscionable thing? Is Lame Zheng a member of a theft gang?"

Li Guolou smiled and said, "Little Six, can't you see how lame Zheng Zizi's legs are? Stealing, from planning and implementation to final success, requires a lot of brainpower in every step. Very fulfilling. Zheng Zizi is the mastermind. He has the addiction of stealing. He can’t extricate himself like taking drugs. "

To sum up, in the end, Li Guolou put gold on his face, and now he can only talk about the world, even if people put shit on his head.

On the Qingshi path, Li Guolou led Xie Xiuzhu back to the courtyard of the inner house, Xie Xiuzhu said softly, "Xiaolou, I'm addicted to you too."

Li Guolou sighed: "Not today, the sky will be bright in a few hours, let's have fun at night."

Xie Xiuzhu quibbled: "Xiaolou, I was talking about tonight. Why are you like this? I don't pay attention to you." After speaking, Xie Xiuzhu shook off Li Guolou's hand and walked to the front .

Li Guolou took a few steps forward, hugged Xie Xiuzhu in his arms, and said in a low voice, "Second Grandma, I am the most addicted to you, and you have the greatest ability."

Xie Xiuzhu said coquettishly, "Do you want me to show you the work of betting the bottom of the box?"

Li Guolou smiled Mimi and said, "Second Grandma, as long as I don't get a little husband out, I can accept anything."

Xie Xiuzhu beat Li Guolou's chest and said angrily, "Xiaolou, you are so bad!"

The two flirted and flirted without avoiding suspicion, and walked into the inner house.
