late Qing Dynasty arrest

Li Guolou returned to Team B, recruited several small officials under them, and invited them to have dinner together. Several officials from other departments also came together with a sullen face. Dafang, people who are higher than him also like to make friends with him. Before reaching the entrance of the criminal department, the team has more than 30 people.

Li Guolou asked Ai Hai to take his friends with him, and he was going to find his girlfriend Yelia who was waiting for him in the teahouse outside.Li Guolou was teased by his friends, and he would not let Li Guolou go alone. More than 30 people came to Laode Teahouse, a random group of people greeted Yelia, admired the foreign girls, and left together after commenting .

Yelia asked: "Mike, didn't you say that you invited one table for dinner this morning? I think there will be four tables."

Li Guolou sighed: "They are all colleagues, friends who can't save face. Some people only know their surnames, and they don't even know their full names. I don't know how to reject people. Come, come, anyway, we are rich. Once the road has been found, there is no way to raise a bunch of moths."

Yelia asked, "Then your brother is like you?"

Li Guolou said: "The Qing Dynasty is all about officials and businessmen. One of the most important things in the evaluation of officials is the unity of the family. If an official's housework is unfilial, he will not be able to get promoted in the future. Therefore, officials must settle their relatives in their hometown. Back then, relatives looked down on him and tried to seize his family property. Officials pretended to be magnanimous and raised a bunch of white-eyed relatives. There are too many such things, and some are compiled into books. Officials are good people, in fact, because the state system restricts these officials. My brother carries the banner of Li Hongzhang, and every year he will give 15.00% of the profits to Li Hongzhang’s eldest son, Li Jingyi. He is still a relative.”

Yelia asked, "What about the shares?"

Li Guolou said: "Similarly, 15.00% of the shares is indispensable. Some businesses account for half of it. Only in this way will no one come to make trouble and do monopoly business. It is much more difficult for me to take root in the north. People just say a few nice words, Don't take me seriously."

Yelia said: "Mike, why don't you go back to the south? Everyone in the family is an official in the south."

Li Guolou looked up at the red wall of the Ministry of Criminal Justice next to him, and said, "Yelia, I like this place. Only in the snow and ice can we see our noble character."

"Giggle!" Yelia laughed tremblingly, and stopped in her tracks. She had never seen such a shameless person.

The two walked arm in arm on the street, and the children who sang nursery rhymes clapped their hands and began to sing, "The fake foreign devil picks up girls, throws them away without losing them, sells onion sets to make fun of boredom, and smashes their kidneys to death with bricks." .”

"Mike, are they talking about you?" Yelia asked knowingly.

Li Guolou raised his hat and greeted the children who sang nursery rhymes, and said, "It's my friend who made this song for me."

Yelia laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up, squatting on the ground and panting.

Li Guolou said seriously: "My dear Yelia, they are really my friends. They like me now. In the past, these children threw firecrackers at me, but now they don't throw them anymore. They are enough buddies."

Yelia finally stood up, shook her hand and said, "Mike is not allowed to make cold jokes, isn't it embarrassing me on the street?"

Li Guolou replied: "Dear Yelia, you are my pride, and in 30 years I want you to walk with me, and I will like it when I get old."

"Little slicker, you just cheated me out of money." Yelia lost her temper a little, but she leaned her head on Li Guolou's shoulder and showed it to passers-by.

Li Guolou said: "Fool, this is for you to become a rich woman earlier and realize your first dream. The school is still a little far away. There is no problem in opening a Yelia Relief Society."

Yelia sighed and said, "I still need to help your gang of friends who eat and drink too much."

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Dear Yelia, when you open the Yelia Charity Hall, you will know that it is easy to cheat money. You shed a few tears in front of the rich, and a large check will fly over. You I haven’t seen pastors in Christian churches, their wives and children live in bungalows, don’t they? So I still believe in Catholicism, at least their wealth will be returned to the church after they die.”

"Don't slander God's church!" Yelia scolded angrily.

"It's really hard to be an honest person!" Li Guolou exclaimed.

Li Guolou and Yelia passed the time in their leisure time and walked to Jiangdong Lane. It was common for passers-by to stop and watch them.Yelia waited for Li Guolou in winter, and the two of them walked on the street together to show off that she was wearing new clothes.Yelia wears a new dress to show her taste in front of the world. Who has the ability to take care of a young and handsome guy from the Qing Dynasty? She has the air of an aristocrat. fan.

Li Guolou and Yeliya feel good, immersed in love, there is a shadow following them quietly behind them, they are still talking and laughing without realizing it.

"Dear Jelia, do you think I should take a stick?"

"You are a fool. Only people of a certain age are eligible to use it. Don't be like those country bumpkins. You can only use it after you are over 35 years old."

Yelia taught Li Guolou how to become a superior person.Just at this moment, the figure suddenly shuttled in front of Li Guolou and knelt down in front of Li Guolou with a plop, blocking the way.

"Officer Li, save me and my sister!" A thief-like eleven or twelve-year-old boy faced Li Guolou bitterly.

Li Guolou took a closer look, and said, "Oh—Miao Shou is empty-handed. What are you doing here? Tell me if you want money. You didn't get beaten last time."

The child wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, forced out a cry, and said, "Mr. Li, I know you are a head catcher. You are rich and powerful. My sister and I suffered a lot in the gang of beggars. My elder brother touched my sister's body." Idea, my sister is only ten years old. I can only beg you, please take us in, I am willing to sell myself as a slave."

This kind of beggar is a person without household registration, and if he wants to sell himself as a slave, he has to buy an official title for this kind of person.No one is willing to take in such children. They don't look down on them, but they know everything.In order to control such children, the eldest brother who brought them took such children to prostitution women very early on. Some children are good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.Some children escaped from poorhouses and charity halls, and would rather live on the streets than be restrained.This kind of children are not so good looking, and the relatives and brothels look down on them, so they can only take the road of stealing.Stealing is also addictive, and it is too difficult to make such a child go the right way.

Li Guolou stared at the thief's child and said, "Stand up and talk, men have gold under their knees, don't kneel down casually. What's your name?"

Li Guolou was struggling in his heart, knowing that this kind of child could not be trusted, but hearing that a ten-year-old girl was being bullied, he couldn't help feeling sad.

The thief-like child kowtowed to Yelia again, stood up after kowtowing, and said pitifully, "My name is Little Shitou, and Chief Li accepts me. Only people like you accept my sister and me. Only people from the beggar gang accept me." I will let my sister and I go, otherwise my elder brother Tie Zhongbei will cripple me, and I can only crawl and beg for food." After speaking, he kowtowed to Li Guolou, kowtowed on both sides, and he looked like a kowtow master.

Yelia pinched Li Guolou's arm, and Li Guolou said, "Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, Yelia, didn't you say Charity Hall? The first person came. Little Shitou got up and brought your sister. If you want to follow me, I'll give you a chance. Get out if you don't obey, and don't come back in the future, and get out if you steal again. If you agree, I will take you in. If you don't agree, I will give you a tael of silver. Don't do this in the future. understand?"

Xiao Shitou said anxiously: "Mr. Li, I understand. I will discuss it with my sister."

The temptation of a tael of silver was too great, so Xiaoshi jumped to a sycamore tree on the side of the street and talked to a little girl.

"Mike, you are a devil, you will tempt Adam and Eve." Yelia saw through Li Guolou's tricks.

"Yelia, you are dressed like a snake demon today!" Li Guolou refused to admit defeat, and said again: "Yelia, don't be fooled by the appearance of children, they are not good people, and their dirty thoughts are worse than adults. Many, it is too difficult to make this kind of child better, and they will run away if there is a little temptation. You must have a cold heart, otherwise you will feel that you have failed in life when you hold a relief meeting.”

"why?"

"I'll tell you later, I opened a charity hall in my family and then closed it. I feel that being a human being is boring, and I hurt myself. Only those fierce nuns can restrain them and cannot have feelings with them." Li Guolou revealed the truth , The deceit that goes deep into the bone marrow is difficult to change, habitual lying does not change face, and will pour dirty water on your head.Where there is oppression, there will be resistance, and you will be the last villain.

"Can't there be love?" Yelia uttered a strong voice of dissatisfaction.

Li Guolou said: "Love can be there, but they will be lawless. If you keep an energetic child in a cage, they will not be able to bear it. It's like raising a cat. You feed it and wear it. In the end, it will be a waste of money. will run away."

"Why?" Yelia still didn't believe it, so she wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Li Guolou said: "Yelia is a psychological problem. They have been hurt since childhood, and their thinking is different from ours. You and I can't figure out things that don't make sense. There is no logic to explain, and it is difficult to raise them well. .”

Xiao Shitou came over with a little girl with pretty eyes, and said: "Mr. Li, my sister said that you are a good person and wants to go with you. We will all be obedient. Her name is Shi girl and she doesn't know how to talk, but her hands Soon, in case she steals, I will return it."

Li Guolou said: "Little Shitou, if your eldest brother is following behind, tell me, I will break his dog's legs first."

Little Shitou whispered: "My elder brother Tie Zhongbei is around the corner, he thought I was begging from you. What did you say, Mr. Li?"

"That one?"

"Yes!" Xiao Shitou said firmly.

"Do not lie to me!"

"That's right!" Xiao Shitou and Shi Yatou said in unison.

"Yelia, help me get my hat and clothes." Li Guolou took off his coat and jumped out like a small stone just now, but when he heard a scream of "Ah!", a tall man was captured by Li Guolou. Kicked to the ground, and kicked down fiercely.
