late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 142 Almost Seeing God

Before leaving, Li Guolou went to see the bodyguard Duan Muchun who was lying on the stretcher. Li Guolou patted Duan Muchun's uninjured shoulder, and said, "Brother Duan, take care of your wounds and don't think too much about it. People in the Jianghu are bound to have accidents. The deceased is my friend, give this bank note to his wife. Tell your master Nan Batian to take care of himself, and I will not visit him anymore."

Li Guolou was aboveboard beside the carriage and Duan Muchun in the carriage, said something that everyone could understand, and his kind attitude encouraged Duan Muchun, the bodyguard who was fighting bloody with the enemy.

With a bloodless face, Duan Muchun nodded and said, "Thank you, Catcher Li, for your generous help. Our Nantian Bodyguard Bureau accepts your kindness. Feel free to speak up if you have anything to do in the future."

Li Guolou couldn't bear it, these bodyguards were all strong and strong people, and they dared to fight and kill, but once they took the wrong path, they were irresistible.He Shan still said: "Brother Duan, the Escort Bureau is not easy to mess with. After recovering from the injury, it will only be easier to understand if you go to Wang Wu's place? If your master can be embarrassed, ask him to go too, and a piece of land will always be given to you." his."

Li Guolou wanted these bodyguards to go to the underworld, but it was better than murder and robbery. He was a person who had a place to collect protection fees, and he could also open a brothel, gambling shop, and smoking shop.Although it is the most shameless thing to do, this kind of thing has a national license, and someone will always do it. It is reasonable and legal, and it can be done openly and aboveboard.

Duan Muchun had mixed feelings in his heart, and said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you Li catcher for thinking so far, I will persuade my master to change his career, and I will thank you when I recover from my injuries."

Li Guolou said: "Brother Duan, take good care of your wounds and explain the matter clearly to Butou Su, he will not embarrass you. Butou Su will tell you how much money is left in the silver box. It's a pity that the big box was given to the robbers." Snatch it away, take it easy."

Duan Muchun closed his eyes and wept silently, savoring the grief and bitterness in his heart.He has no ideals, moral justice, cruel competition in the cruel world, why can't it be the same as before?The past world was called a perfect world. Why did foreigners spread new ideas and new cultures? All the bad results were sown by foreigners. One day the Qing people will find foreigners to settle the score.Burn down the church, smash down the telegraph office, rob all the money houses opened by foreigners, and restore the era of relying on martial arts without guns.The day when the strength of the people of the country is determined by Chinese martial arts will be a perfect new world.

Li Guolou sighed sadly, stepped into the carriage, the rain kept falling, the rain hitting the car windows made people tired, Li Guolou slowly closed his eyes.

Yelia looked at the leather bag under Li Guolou's stool, stretched out her hand to pick it up, opened it for a glance, and shook her head without cutting it. Li Guolou took the dead man's property and made her lose face in front of the servants.But two servants were sitting next to him, Yelia could only hold back from talking about Li Guolou, and would not let him touch him when he went to bed later, and was going to teach Li Guolou a lesson, it seemed too early to break up, Li Guolou was Wanmin Admired hero.

"Yelia, put down the crutches, do you want to hit me?" Li Guolou said with his eyes closed.

Yelia finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "Mike, what are you doing with a dead man's crutch, is your foot broken?"

There is something in the words, and there is a hidden dissatisfaction in talking about trivial things. How can Li Guolou fail to hear that Yelia is very dissatisfied with his anticlimactic performance.

Li Guolou opened his eyes and said, "Yelia, have you seen that silver box?"

Yelia nodded and said, "We all saw it, didn't you hand it over to the magistrate?"

Li Guolou said: "Yelia, let me tell you that half of the silver ingots in the silver box can be returned to the family of the deceased. Those local officials have already given me great face."

"Ah!" Yelia didn't believe Li Guolou's words.

Li Guolou said: "I talked with Su Butou for so long just now, you thought I was talking about the case. I was negotiating with Su Butou, asking him to pay back more money to the family of the deceased. When it comes to what he wants later [-]% of the expenses, but the family of the deceased has to pay the miscellaneous expenses, so [-]% can be returned to the family of the deceased. This is the rule of the Qing Empire, and I have to hide it from the family of the deceased for them. .”

Yelia looked at Li Guolou in surprise, and asked, "Mike, if I didn't meet you, how much would those local officials get?"

Li Guolou shook his head and said, "I don't know. In such a chaotic scene, it is very likely that the local officials will say that the silver box is empty, and the silver was robbed by the robbers. They just killed a young man."

Yelia said angrily, "Is there no kingly law? Aren't those people afraid of being denounced?"

Li Guolou grabbed the air with his hand and said, "Where is the evidence? Is it in your hand? You saw it, but others didn't see it. The silver box is a box. Do you have a see-through eye? Don't think about it, Yelia. Embezzlement of money, haven’t you seen how the officers and soldiers killed the rebels?”

Everyone was curious about the war, and the three Frenchmen asked Li Guolou to tell how the Qing army wiped out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and fought against the Nian Army?

Li Guolou said: "There is only one way to fight and that is to kill. Both sides are not good people, and there is no justice. Don't be fooled by the words in the newspapers. Many murders and arson were done by the Qing army themselves. If they are done, they will be blamed on the rebels. In fact, both sides killed civilians. Especially the lairs of the rebels, like the Nanjing Massacre by Zeng Guofan, there were no survivors. Only thirty or so boys were left in a city with a population of several 10, and all beautiful women were killed by the Hunan Army. He snatched it home, and Zeng Guofan also made himself rotten. The common people called him Zeng to shave his head. This is called killing a peaceful world. If there are no people, there will be no rebels. The rebels don't need the capitulators, and Napoleon, the father of the country, can spend the rest of his life in exile on the island of Elba, which is not the same. The military achievements reported by the army, half of the heads of the rebels are really great. They all killed the locals The common people come to make up the number."

Yelia said angrily, "I don't like you hanging human heads on the city gate. It's a beautiful building, a treasure of the ancient Han people. How disgusting is it to hang a few human heads on it?"

Li Guolou's eyes showed longing, and he said: "Yelia, you haven't seen Jingguan yet? If you have a chance to see thousands of heads piled up together, it's really spectacular. If you don't watch it, you will regret it for the rest of your life. "

Yelia turned her head and said angrily, "Mike, if you dare to trick me into letting me go to see Gui Lao Zi Jing Guan, I will return to France immediately."

Li Guolou's clothes were dirty, so he could only lean against the wall of the carriage, waved his hands, and said, "Don't worry, Yelia, I won't take you to see Jingguan, I will only take you to dance."

Yelia didn't buy it, grabbed the crutches, and said angrily, "Are you dancing with the crutches?" She was still dissatisfied with Li Guolou's greed for money, and took the accessories of the deceased Zhang Yaozu. How much money can these jades have?There are treasures in Zhenbaoxuan, and they are a hundred times cleaner than them.

Li Guolou laughed and said, "Yelia, I know why I use this crutch. It's because there is a secret hidden in this crutch. Try to open it?"

Some of the crutches had a sword hidden inside them, which aroused Yelia's interest, and when the head of the crutches was twisted a little, the crutches were separated.

Yelia said softly, "Ah, it's a bank note."

Li Guolou said: "When Yelia sees the banknote, don't think about it. I want to send it to the family of the deceased, not to fill my own pocket."

Yelia asked, "Mike, how did you know there was money hidden in the crutch?"

Li Guolou said proudly, "Because I am a detective."

Yelia snorted coldly and said, "If Mike doesn't tell the truth, I'll be corrupt." After speaking, he put a stack of bank notes into his pocket, turned his head away from Li Guolou, and turned to the other side angrily.

Li Guolou begged, "Okay, Yelia, to be honest, I've seen this kind of crutch before, you can't be a corrupt official, God is watching you."

Yelia took out the banknote and handed it to Li Guolou, saying, "Mike is not allowed to make fun of God, he must act like an officer."

Li Guolou smiled and said, "Yelia, I almost saw God just now."

Yelia shook her right hand in front of her nose, and said with a frown, "Well——Mike smells like horse dung. Edward and I switched seats, so I won't sit with the stinky man."

Li Guolou raised his arm to smell the smell on his body, sniffed his nose, and said, "Is there? Why can't I smell it?"

Yelia and Li Guolou had the habit of British hooligans when they stayed together, and said coquettishly, "The big stallion must have the smell of horses."

Li Guolou kept his mouth shut and ignored Yelia. How could he say such nonsense in front of his servants?Li Guolou was also angry, turning his head to look out the window like a little man.Next, a big woman is needed to make him happy, otherwise he will lose his temper.

After a while, Yelia leaned against Li Guolou and fell asleep again, and Li Guolou also fell asleep, and everyone in the carriage dozed off.

Liu Mingcheng, a coachman in coir raincoat, pulled the reins, with rain and tears streaming down his face.If he knew that his employer, Li Guolou, had spared the murderer, he would definitely drive the carriage into the nearby river.Now he is very grateful to Li Guolou for his righteous act of saving the Maji dealership, and he waved his whip conscientiously, "Fight!"

Shuangqiao Town was right in front of them, and the overnight stay in Shuangqiao Town was three hours later than they expected. The dark town was pitch black, and the arrival of the carriage caused a burst of barking.

Yelia said, "Xiao Liu, go to the Koizumi Inn opened by Little Japan, it's very clean." He whispered in Li Guolou's ear, "Two people can take a bath with a wooden barrel."

Li Guolou gave Yelia a blank look. Last time, Yelia must have taken a bath here with his lover Robinson Robinson. Now Yelia has changed his lover to have another fun, and he is already a little impulsive, wanting to see the big wooden barrel What is it like?Li Guolou asked, "Is there a hot spring here?"

Yelia said: "No! But there is a sauna room and a pool with ice water."

Li Guolou calmed down, nodded in approval and said, "Well, it's a good place. Small Japan is the most hygienic, and their rooms have the fewest bedbugs. Now the termites have also hibernated, and the snakes have burrowed into the walls to sleep, Yeli. Ya, you don't have to be afraid."

Yelia said angrily: "Mike, let's see how I deal with you later, I don't have the same knowledge as you now."

She doesn't fight with Li Guolou in front of her servants, and still maintains the demeanor of a lady.Looking at the wooden Koizumi Inn, I thought that Mike had hit the mark again. These dirty things were hidden in the dark corners of Koizumi's house.
