late Qing Dynasty arrest

"Master!" Li Guolou broke free from Yelia's arm, turned around and shouted.

Yang Dongting, who was less than 50 years old, was taken aback for a moment. He seemed to think that this fake foreign devil looked familiar, so he couldn't help but stop and think.He knew too many people. Thousands of troops had led him. They knew him, but it was normal for him not to know them.

"Master, what's your name now? I'm Li Guolou! Do you remember Xiaolou?" Li Guolou reported himself as his family, but he didn't even know his master's name.

"Hahaha!" Yang Dongting said with three long laughs, "It's a small building, you monkey bastard, you won't be able to go to the house to expose the tiles. Oh! My name is Su Yuli, and I'm a legitimate businessman in the shipping business."

Li Guolou contained tears, wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "Master, I thought you were dead, so I burned paper money for you."

Su Yuli said sadly, "Xiaolou, the boat capsized, but I'm not dead yet, you're doing well, kid."

Li Guolou glanced and said: "Master, you are not bad, and there are black guards."

Su Yuli chuckled and said, "Isn't it cheap? You still don't understand that."

While talking and joking, the two parties greeted each other, and agreed to join hands to enter a five-star western restaurant for dinner. The master would not pay for it, and the apprentice paid the tip to the usher first, and asked for a secluded seat by the window.

The two servants who were also the servant Yelia had a seat, and the two black servants of Su Yuli consciously stood outside the door waiting for the master.

Women and women sat together, and Li Guolou and Su Yuli ate alone.

Li Guolou skillfully cut the steak with a knife and fork, and said: "Master, you are so bold, you can get into everything without asking, aren't you afraid?"

The national arrest warrant for bar king Yang Dongting is still valid, and the bonus is as high as 1000 taels of silver. Even if Yang Dongting hides in the concession, he will be sent back to the Qing Empire if he is reported, and there is no escape.

Su Yuli drank his coffee firmly, and said with a smile, "I am already a citizen of the Commonwealth of Singapore. Do the returned overseas Chinese understand? As long as I don't leave this concession, no one will dare to harm me."

Li Guolou asked suspiciously: "Master, why are the British willing to take you in?"

Su Yuli sneered and said, "It's not that there is friendship. Back then, they made a lot of money from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. They still gave me this kind of favor."

Li Guolou said: "Oh! Master is an opposition person now, and he is supporting you now. Whenever you need it, you can scare Lafayette. I'm not wrong."

Su Yuli put down the coffee cup angrily, and said, "Xiaolou, I'm not traitorous."

The reality is so cruel. Those who defeated imperialism ended up hiding in the arms of imperialism, and the only remaining dignity was that they did not betray their ideals.For digging the corners of the Qing Empire, they can shirk the reason that this country can be eliminated long ago, and do all the things that are not good for the country, without betraying their conscience.If you want to argue clearly with them, you have to form a new political party to have a say.

When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded the Qing Empire, as Chinese people call it, these national righteous men with glorious dreams took the lead.Instigated by the baton of foreign powers, but still have lofty ideals in their hearts, looking forward to partners, the Western Empire can open the Bastille Prison of the Qing Empire.The hidden history is so sad, the Chinese never lack dissidents.

Li Guolou didn't talk about politics with Su Yuli, and said with a casual smile: "Master, you don't know me yet. I don't have a political standpoint. If you make a few nonsense, I will go and make friends with whoever is in power."

Su Yuli smiled and said, "You, you obviously accepted the new idea, but pretended to be a romantic son. I've heard of your brother's name, why haven't I heard of you? Are you eating soft food?"

"Master, it's still the same, and I don't care about you in anything." Li Guolou said glibly.

"Xiaolou, although you are still a fool, you are better than your brother. If he saw me, he would ignore me, and he would have forgotten me as a master."

Su Yuli sighed, and he also had difficulties in his heart. Li Hongzhang's family was powerful, but he was known by others but he dared not stand out.National righteous men like them want to cooperate with people who are valued by the Western powers. Li Hongzhang is the most important person in the Western powers, but Li Hongzhang, like Zeng Guofan, clings to the thighs of the Qing Empire and refuses to cooperate with national righteous men.

People who do business want to make friends with the Li family, Li Guolou knows this, and he didn't accept Su Yuli's fault.Li Guolou and his master Yang Dongting were just reminiscing about the old days. He was unwilling to do business with this kind of person. This was asking him to sell the interests of the country in exchange for an idealized new country conceived by his eyes and mouth.

When it comes to doing business, Su Yuli is in the shipping business. There are several routes in the north, both for freight and people. The farthest has gone to Vladivostok, and the south has also reached the coastal areas of Fujian.

Li Guolou glanced and said: "Master, these ships are all adapted from spoils of war."

Su Yuli said complacently: "The boat has been replaced with a new one a long time ago. The old boat can only do river business, and cannot run the big river."

"Oh! It's a shotgun!" Li Guolou still teased slickly.

Su Yuli said: "Xiao Lou, where are you messing around now? Why is there no news about you in Shanghai?"

Li Guolou said: "Master, my family wants me to take the Jinshi exam, so I went to the capital to hang out. The exam is not until next year. I'm now staying in the Ministry of Criminal Justice and working as a petty official."

Su Yuli put down the knife and fork, smiled and said: "Oh, so you are an inquisitor and speak ill of others. The policemen here are all my friends, and you are the only one who speak ill of them."

"Silence is golden! Master, I don't want to be chased and killed by Jianghu!" Li Guolou continued to tease, people can't help themselves in Jianghu, some people can only pass by, and the nostalgia for Master can only be forgotten.He does not have the spirit of dedication to throw his head and blood for the country and the people, nor will he do anything that betrays the interests of the country.

Those who do great things don't stick to small details, he can't do it, there are too many fetters around him.The path chosen by the master and the apprentice is different. It is still possible to be a friend who eats and drinks without violating the personal interests.The rivers and lakes meet each other very well, everyone happily ate a lunch, the memories are all good, and no one will destroy them.

Li Guolou was immersed in the beautiful past, but he was greeted with cold water.

"Xiaolou, some of my friends are locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. You go and get them out." Su Yuli gave Li Guolou an order as if he was giving an order to a death squad.

"Okay! Master, just once!" Li Guolou calmed down and said firmly.

"Write your home address behind my famous assassin." Su Yuli said without a doubt, this is the bearing of a person who has commanded thousands of troops. It is nothing to discuss the implementation plan with help!The troublesome details are handled by the subordinates themselves.The decision made in an instant changed the pattern of the battlefield. How to deal with Li Guolou, as a master, he still can't figure it out?

Without a confrontation, Li Guolou was defeated, and he will be a righteous man of the nation from now on.People who have been imprisoned are the most loyal national righteous people. These people who have worn iron shackles will be the hope of the future. They will tell the national righteous people again and again about the torture they have suffered in prison. They have not yielded. Only by resisting and fighting, we defeated the black-hearted prison boss with the strength of unity.

"Master, you listen to the wind and the rain, and you are worthy of being the king of bars. I don't care about death row prisoners. I don't have the ability to change people in the execution ground." Li Guolou said bargainingly.

Su Yuli said: "Look first, I will give you a list, Xiaolou, you can find out for me, which ones are secret agents of the Qing Dynasty, you will always help with this."

Li Guolou smiled wryly and said: "Master, I can still help you to find people in prison. How could I know this kind of one-on-one job? Even Prince Gong would not have this blacklist. This kind of thing does not belong to the Ministry of Punishment." Just go find someone else."

Su Yu immediately realized it, and said with a smile: "That's right, even if there is a list, I'm not in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, so I won't ask you to do this. We still drink and don't talk about politics."

After drinking for a while, Li Guolou let go and said, "Master, I think you are a member of the underworld. The organization of the Small Knife Club is similar to yours. That Liu Lichuan is a comprador of foreigners."

Su Yuli chuckled, and said, "Xiaolou, I will still believe in that set from now on. The foreign girl is because I have money and follow me, not because of lofty ideals. If there is an ideal, there will be a market. If you can afford it, you will understand." Is it? Those foreigners also need to listen to the truth. If you talk about money with them, will he value your little fortune? I won’t let you die, the benefits are indispensable.”

Li Guolou shook his head and said: "Forget about the benefits, I will help if I can, and I will tell the truth about what price they offer, I will not accept this kind of money."

Su Yuli said: "Anyway, your family is rich. If we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, the revolution will always come. Although I may not see it, my successor will definitely be able to realize the revolution."

Li Guolou asked, "Master, what doctrine do you believe in now?"

Su Yuli sighed slightly: "I believe in the teachings exported by the revolution, learn from the spirit of the French Revolution, and have a great liberation of the whole people. But some people want to learn how to assassinate Tsar Alexander II, and we are struggling to judge whose ideas are wrong Woolen cloth."

Li Guolou immediately understood the meaning of Su Yuli's words. The struggle within the revolution could only be discussed in meetings, but Su Yuli was not a student-born revolutionary.The national righteous men had two kinds of ideological discussions, and the final outcome was only that the two parties parted ways.Su Yuli actually asked him if he was interested in arresting a group of national righteous men to dye his top-wearing flower feathers red.These national righteous men are plotting to assassinate the Emperor Tongzhi or the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the road to power quietly opens the door to Li Guolou.

Li Guolou raised his goblet, looked at the red color in the wine glass, and said, "Master, things will happen one after another, otherwise we won't trust each other. Will they?"

Su Yuli glanced at Li Guolou's expression, laughed and said, "It's reasonable, but let's not talk about state affairs, in order to open the door and make the business a success. Cheers!"

The atmosphere of happy reunion during the Spring Festival is strong. This is the French Concession, and there are still many customs of the Qing Dynasty. Merchants will not miss the opportunity to make money, and all kinds of goods are wrapped in festive patterns.The big red happy character is pasted on the door. Red represents happy events, and in Li Guolou's eyes, it is the blood of killing.
