late Qing Dynasty arrest

Yelia took Li Guolou's arm and the two walked into Van Gaal's law firm together. There were ten people in the law firm on the fifth floor, and they stood according to their ranks to welcome the big client. A business of 15 francs is a pie in the sky for a law firm.The three French lawyers with a lawyer's license wore silver-white wigs on their heads, and their expressions were serious and not at all happy.

The Wood family was splitting up, and lawyer Van Gaal, as the lawyer of the Wood family, was heartbroken. The negotiation failed and the family property could only be divided.The commission is handled in accordance with the legal regulations, and the [-]% handling fee is collected on both sides.

Yelia introduced generously: "Lawyer Van Gaal, this is my fiancé Mike; Lee. This is lawyer Van Gaal."

Van Gaal; Li is in his forties, with black hair and small eyes, about the same height as Li Guolou, with two mustaches, a pair of round glasses on his face, a fat and bulky body, a big belly but tight clothes tuxedo.Van Gaal shook hands with Li Guolou meticulously, and then greeted him with a face-to-face ceremony.In the end, he gave a big hug and said, "Bless you, Mike, you are doing honor to the Li family."

Van Gaal couldn't help laughing anymore. His surname is also Li, and he belonged to a family 800 years ago.The laughter was so touching that the other two lawyers also laughed.The other seven subordinates bowed and saluted to Li Guolou and Yelia, their movements were like soldiers saluting, uniformly, "Welcome!" sounded, making Li Guolou think that he had arrived at a foreign clothing store.

Yelia used a telescope to observe Little White in the Mox Cafe; she did not enter the door until Wood walked into Van Gaal's law firm. Accompanied by three lawyers, Yelia and Li Guolou walked into the meeting room.

Little White; Wood is in his 30s, with a kind face and aristocratic beard like a baboon, 1.9 meters tall, slender, with gray hair, smiling and shaking hands with Yelia, and Li Guolou Give me a big hug.

White Wood, Jr. bought Jelia's shares for almost half the price of White Shipping, which made him look like a winner.Yelia wanted to fight him, but in the end he slipped away with his tail between his legs, and even raised a Manchu dog with a tail to embarrass him in the French Concession.Little White never looked straight at Li Guolou from the beginning to the end. How could he not know Li Guolou's identity?

Yelia handed over the signed contract and the promissory note to Li Guolou, and asked Li Guolou to hide it in his purse, acting like a big sister.Turning his head, he said, "Mr. White, today is a day worth celebrating. I wonder if you will do your experiment to extract high-purity castor."

Little White; Wood's face suddenly paled, turned to look at Yelia's angry expression, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "Yelia, don't listen to the gossip, I will go back to France to worship my brother next year, I wonder if you will go? "

Who told Jelia this?Most likely it was the Qing Dynasty police officer next to Yelia.It was the first time for Little White to look at Li Guolou seriously. This little boy was probably a killer hired by Yelia with a beauty trick. Thinking of this success, Little White's originally calm heart began to beat wildly.He is going to suffer from insomnia again tonight, and a new target has appeared to make him sleepless, and he has to get rid of the serious trouble in his heart before he can stop.

Yelia Wood got the cashier's note from the bank, and he didn't pretend any more. He broke out the anger in his heart, and said angrily: "I don't want to see you in this life. It's better that God let you sink in the Indian Ocean. I'll take care of your clothes and tombs." I will go, I will send you two bouquets of castor flowers."

After venting the anger in her heart, Yelia raised her high-heeled shoes and left the conference hall without saying goodbye to lawyer Van Gaal.Her eyes were full of tears, and she loved only Big White; Wood.

Li Guolou picked up the leather bag, then picked up the coat and hat on the shelf, and said anxiously: "I'm sorry everyone, I'll make an apology another day."

Li Guolou was extremely embarrassed, but his heart was warm. The promissory note of 15 francs was with him, which was Yelia's greatest trust in him, but he could not withdraw the money, it was only a million Pound banknotes.Li Guolou caught up with Yelia in the corridor, put the overcoat that Yelia had forgotten on her, hugged her tightly, and confessed: "Yelia don't cry, I only want to be with you in my life." In the cemetery, I watched you cry to me, a dead man."

"Fuck you, are you proposing marriage?" Yelia beat Li Guolou's chest, feeling a little tempted, even if marriage in a foreign country is a game.

"Then do you agree?" Li Guolou made a sad expression.

"No!" Yelia said without hesitation, how could she propose marriage when someone missed her ex-husband, Yelia bit Li Guolou's lips angrily.

At the sound of someone walking up the stairs, Li Guolou and Yelia hurriedly separated, pretending to be nobles and walking down the stairs step by step arm in arm. Nobles sometimes do not take the escalator.Escalators that rely on mechanically pulling cables are too slow, and it is worthwhile to walk a few more steps.

It was getting dark outside, Li Guolou took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and said: "The lawyers are really long-winded, and they have wasted three hours. Let's ask your servants to have a big meal together, anyway, you are a rich woman now. "

Yelia coquettishly said: "I want to eat you for any big meal. There is a western restaurant next to it. Let's eat something casually and ask them to come out."

When the two walked to the street, Li Guolou raised his hand in the direction of Mox Cafe to greet the three people who were still sitting in the cafe, and blew his whistle accordingly.A sharp whistle sounded, and an English-style carriage stopped in front of them.

Yelia scolded angrily: "Mike, don't whistle casually, don't we have our own carriage?"

Li Guolou glanced at him and said: "Dear Yelia, I'd better find a better restaurant. The French restaurant here will meet people from Van Gaal's law firm to celebrate later. They promise to reserve a seat, aren't you Spoil them?"

Yelia said with a coquettish smile, "You have calculated everything about the detective, so do you think that the White Shipping Company will be more powerful in the future?"

Li Guolou said: "It should be, but it has nothing to do with Little White. He will definitely sell all the shares in White Shipping Company and return to France to live a happy life."

Yelia asked: "Why is this? He was very ambitious at the board meeting, and he still has a five-year plan to show those old antiques."

Li Guolou said with a smile: "Yelia, Little White is too burdened to kill his brother. He already has insomnia. Today, you exposed him in public, and he has trouble sleeping and eating even more. Didn't you see that there is a lot of blood in his hair?" Is it white hair? It’s better for him to stay as far away from you as possible, otherwise he will go to a mental hospital.”

Yelia looked up at the vast night sky and said, "I hope! I'm a little afraid of Little White if he stays in Tianjin."

Li Guolou said implicitly: "Little White dare not come to the capital, dear Yelia, you can live your dream of being a banker."

Li Guolou already had the idea of ​​killing Little White. Of course, he wanted Little White to leave the French Concession first. This is the land of foreigners.

Mayuko who came over heard Li Guolou's last words. Mayuko had already found out the purpose of Yelia's visit from two of Yelia's servants.She immediately bowed respectfully to Yelia, this is her mistress, and she will serve well.

Mayuko in the carriage looked out at the street through the glass window, but did not glance at Li Guolou.It was the first time she saw the concession in the dark. There were oil lamps hanging outside the doors of the merchants, as well as the lights lit on the street, which surprised her.

Yelia pushed Mayuko across Li Guolou, and said, "Mayukko, haven't you been to the French Concession?"

Mayuko shook her head and said, "This is a place for high-class people. Japanese like us dare not come here. Many businesses don't welcome us Japanese."

Li Guolou said: "This is the product of your Japanese who secretly learned from Westerners, and you didn't pay them copyright fees. Westerners hate you Japanese the most. Once your floral cloth appears, the foreign cloth of foreigners will not be easy to sell. This is called the disciple of the church, the master starved to death, and the Westerners have finally learned how powerful you little Japan is."

Mayuko doesn't laugh very much, and with a weird smile on her face, she said, "This is called "bringing doctrine" of the Orientals. Now we Japanese want to follow in the footsteps of the Qing Empire. It's because of your Lafayette of the Qing Empire that you cleverly manipulated the rental market." Come on, how prosperous this place is. Our emperor can't do it, he wants to lose face."

Is this a compliment or an insult?Li Guolou stretched out his hand and turned Mayuko's head around, paying attention to the expression on Mayuko's face, trying to see what was going on in her mind?

Suddenly, Zhenyouzi pounced on Li Guolou like a female wolf, and kissed Li Guolou passionately. She misunderstood, thinking that Li Guolou was teasing her, but she couldn't bear her mother's love for a long time, and dared not kiss her. After looking at Li Guolou more, he kept looking out the window, pretending to be interested in the dark night outside.What kind of Western food do you eat, you can go to bed after eating two balls of rice, and Mayuko sat in Li Guolou's arms, performing her stunt with forgetfulness.

Yelia sighed: "Mike, Mayuko is not pretending to you, she really likes you, you are such a cutie." After speaking, Yelia also got together to have fun.

With great difficulty, Li Guolou said, "It's fine to go back to the apartment directly. Now that Edward's carriage is gone, we can only go to eat slow French western food."

Yelia said angrily, "Louis XIV's restaurant is doing very well, why do we have to wait in line?"

"Ah!" Li Guolou and Mayuko expressed strong dissatisfaction.

The Louis XIV restaurant was doing very well, Yelia gave a tip before getting in the line, others thought they had reserved a seat, and they still lined up in a gentlemanly manner.

Yelia is very kind to the servants, it is rare to come out to eat, and it is acceptable to sit together. She and the two servants already have a family relationship, and she even pays for the servants' children boarding in church schools. This is what she and Li Guolou is very similar, and he treats his servants much better than the little Japanese.

Mayuko still didn't dare to put on airs to the two French servants, who said they were upper-class people.Sitting and eating Western food together, Mayuko was afraid of losing face, and didn't know how to handle it with a knife and fork.

The Japanese eat a little food, they are a thrifty nation, the Han people also have appetizers when they drink, the Japanese drink sake directly, and at most a few dishes of food the size of tofu cubes.

Li Guolou looked at Mayuko's appearance and said, "Mayukko eats whatever he wants, use a knife and fork slowly like me, if it doesn't taste good, don't eat it, it's not a sin to waste it."

"Hi!" Mayuko was very grateful, and pushed a dish to Li Guolou. She didn't like Gui Laozi's French-style western food, and eating foreign bread was better than steak.

Li Guolou said helplessly: "Yelia, you order seafood for Mayuko. The Japanese like to eat food from the sea. Beef is rarely eaten, and I'm not used to it anymore."

The seafood and clam soup was served again, and Mayuko praised the delicious French and western food. She also likes grilled squid. It is worth visiting the Louis XIV restaurant once.

When the big lobster was on the table, Mayuko said happily that she had never eaten lobster once in the Qing Dynasty, and the lobster here was too expensive, and their family dared not waste their money on eating it.

Yelia raised her voice and said, "Mayuko, wait and follow;;;;;;"

Li Guolou kicked it over, what are you talking about!The two servants were right next to them, abducting his wife to come out to play, and the inside story has already been known to the servants, what will happen next?This is a secret that only God knows, you know and I know, how could the servants let them know.

Mayuko has proudly told the two French servants that she will serve a husband with Yelia in the future, and her ability to serve the master and mistress is no worse than that of the servants.Mayuko likes to show off, even if she doesn't say it, she will write the secret in her pocket, hang it on the tree in the Buddhist temple, and tell the Bodhisattva what shameful things she has done, and what else she will do?Let Buddha bless her success.

This is the same as those who believe in Jesus confess to the priest, so all their sins must be known to God.There is only one person here who hides all the secrets. This is Li Guolou who has no faith. He can sell his body, but he has not yet sold his soul.
