late Qing Dynasty arrest

Miao Shanbian, the leader of the "Miao Family Juggling Class", is short and strong, in his forties, with a flat face, small eyes and upturned nose. He looks like a minority.

The white powder on Hua Dandan's ugly face beside her has not been wiped off, and it can be seen that she has applied makeup.

The class leader Miao Shanbian greeted Wu Defu and Li Guolou according to the etiquette of meeting guests, and said a lot of auspicious words for the new year with a smile, and then shamelessly reached out to ask for money.

Wu Defu took out two ten taels of silver ingots from his sleeve and put them on the table, and said, "Team leader Miao can't do without you, let's sit down and talk first. Hua Dandan has a basin here to wash his face, let us see it." Your true face."

Wu Defu's sharp words were full of murderous intent, and even his eyes became dark, squinting at Choudan Hua Dandan as if he had already seen through people's hearts.

"Master Wu, it's very troublesome to remove makeup. It needs to be wiped off layer by layer, otherwise it will hurt the skin." Miao Shanbian seemed to be in distress, and told Wu Defu that actors are not for playing.

Wu Defu said with a smile: "Team leader Miao, we are all from the Jianghu, so we must follow the rules of the Jianghu. Let's meet each other calmly, and we can't talk about anything. It's rare that Hua Dandan can show people his true colors. Hua Dandan's face is always Want to give it to me, what do you think?" Hua Dandan was smeared with white powder on her face, but she couldn't see any difference in her facial expression, she still stood there motionless.

Miao Shanbian no longer had a smile on his face, showing the habits of a big brother in the world. Originally, he spoke Chinese in a blunt manner, but now he is even more adamant. He said: "Master Wu, Mr. Li, are you really not giving me old face? I have never offended you. You guys."

Li Guolou interjected: "Team Leader Miao and Hua Dandan's face is earned by everyone. During the Chinese New Year, you can't even meet people in the Jianghu candidly. What are you talking about to save face!"

Hua Dandan looked up at Li Guolou, and said in a low voice, "We will definitely give Mr. Li face, just a little make-up remover." After speaking, Hua Dandan ran to a table next to him and sat down, facing a mirror with a towel Dip in water and wipe off the white powder on the cheeks bit by bit.

Wu Defu laughed dryly and said, "That's right, Mr. Miao sit down and drink tea! It's a rare opportunity for us to sit here and watch others play on the stage."

"That's that, that's that!" Miao Shanbian echoed holding a cup of hot tea, his obedient appearance was the same as when he first came in.

Li Guolou didn't watch the performance on the stage, but faced Hua Dandan who was sitting next to him taking off his make-up, with a serious expression on his face and habitually squinting eyes.

Wu Defu asked: "When did Team Master Miao come to the capital?"

Miao Shanbian bowed slightly, and said: "During the Chinese New Year, the capital is still popular, and everyone will come to support us. We foreigners are contented to have a place to stay in the capital."

"Oh—the stiff road is about to melt, and the road will be easy to walk. No matter how beautiful the outside world is, it is not as beautiful as home, isn't it, Master Miao?"

"That's that, that's that!" Miao Shanbian blew the green leaves on the tea, and took a small sip of green tea.

Li Guolou raised his voice and said, "Hua Dandan, can your two stilts be connected to hook the high wall and climb up the top of the wall?"

While removing her makeup, Hua Dandan shook her head and said, "Mr. Li, the villain is just performing on stilts and has no other skills."

"Oh—it doesn't matter, I've already asked someone to get your two stilts, you don't mind." Li Guolou never cheated others, and he wanted to get the evidence first.Now that he is the banker, he can play whatever cards he wants?The two members of the Miao family's juggling class were at his disposal.

Hua Dandan stopped removing her makeup, turned her head to look at Li Guolou, and said firmly, "I don't mind."

When Wu Ta walked into the private room, there were already guard posts at the door, and the atmosphere became tense.Li Guolou gestured with two stilts, and it only took three or four strokes to connect the two stilts, transforming them into a long stick with a hook.

"Hua Dandan, you're lying, this is a murderous weapon." Li Guolou said with a smile.

"It's for self-defense." Hua Dandan stood up, and there was no white powder on her face.

Wu Defu stood up, walked up to Hua Dandan, looked him up and down, laughed, and said: "The name is just like the person, and Hokage is worthy of the name."

On Hua Dandan's face, there is a natural birthmark from the base of the ear to the neck, a bright red streak, which makes people never forget it.

Hua Dandan is Hokage. He is a killer with a strong heart. He already knows that Li Guolou has seen through his body, but no one has any evidence to prove that he is Hokage. That's why the people in the yamen are so polite to him.Hua Dandan still maintains the killer's nature of patience, only those who can endure loneliness can be killers.In order to hit him with a single blow, he could follow the enemy for a month, find out the law of the enemy's life, and only then gave the enemy the last lead bullet.

"Where is this going, Mr. Wu, Mr. Li, you can't slander us, we've been in the lake for many years, and we've already filed a record in the yamen, and the household registration is true. If you don't believe me, you can check it out." " Miao Shanbian was really fickle, and he stood up red-eyed to grab the white.

Wu Defu raised his hand coolly, and said: "Sit down, Mr. Miao, if you can come to add to the fun for us today, how can we not give face to Mr. Miao, I can eat you in one bite now, but I don't have it. Everyone He is a person in the rivers and lakes, and harmony makes money."

Miao was fickle and changed again and again, sat down and drank: "Do you understand Hua Dandan's rules? Don't offer tea to the two officers."

Hua Dandan, who is less than 1.6 meters tall, stepped forward, poured tea and handed cups meticulously, and the waiter in the running shop was skilled in movements, with a smile on his face.

"The chief just likes to joke, and I apologize to you guys."

Wu Defu took the teacup, and said in a trance, "Xiao Lizi, what did I say just now?"

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Master Wu just has a bad memory, just now you said that no matter how beautiful your hometown is, it is not as beautiful as your hometown."

"Oh——I almost forgot, Team Leader Miao, when will you leave the capital?" Wu Defu directly issued an order to evict guests. This is Wu Defu's territory, and anyone who dares to make trouble will hack him first.

Miao Shanbian looked at the two silver ingots on the table, and smiled casually: "Master Wu, we are all knowledgeable people. We will go back to our hometown tomorrow morning after we get the silver reward."

Miao Shanbian felt aggrieved, and wanted to make a big deal, but he didn't expect that the boat capsized in the gutter, and his whereabouts had already been spotted before he even made a move, so he could only meet in Jianghu someday.

Wu Defu picked up two silver ingots, handed them to Miao Shanbian with a smile, and said, "Team leader Miao, those who are content are always happy. When you come to the capital, give me a hello first, and I will definitely pick you up. You keep changing your names now. I don't know what you believe now? But money comes first, otherwise who would mess with Team Leader Miao."

"That's that, it's Mr. Wu who understands the little hard work. It's not easy for us to come to the capital after a long journey. I also ask Mr. Wu to give me some rewards." Bought with money.With so many kung fu masters gathered together, a small fight will disgust you to death.

Wu Defu didn't mind, he kept his demeanor and handed over two more silver ingots, and said, "Master Miao, those who are content are always happy, don't be too greedy."

Miao Shanbian squeezed out a smile and said: "Master Wu is talking about business, so I will still rely on you as a big tree in the future, don't you think so?"

This is the rule that the people of Jianghu say, the rich contribute money and the poor contribute effort. If you want peace and nothing to do, you have to spend money to buy peace.

Li Guolou looked at Hua Dandan and said, "Hua Dandan has an easy way back. Lend me these two stilts so that I can compete with you in the 400-meter race."

Hua Dandan said submissively: "Xiao Lizi has heard his name for a long time, and his reputation is well-deserved, and his words are true. I will practice more when I go back. When we wait for the next meeting, we can still be good friends. How about a relay race?" Not good."

Amidst the laughter, the two sides bid farewell, and Wu Defu took over the stilts that had turned into long roots, and asked, "Second brother, how do you know that the Miao family's juggling troupe are members of the White Lotus Sect?"

Holding the hidden weapon taken out from the stilts, Li Guolou said with a few gear-shaped darts emitting a cold light, "Second brother, since I saw Hokage last time, I have been thinking that if there were no ghosts in the world, who would become ten feet tall?" High? At the scene of the crime, I checked the footprints on the ground. It was not a ghost without any traces, but there were traces of wooden stakes on the ground. Later, I figured out that Hokage escaped on stilts. In Shanduo, where the Miao people live, Walking on rainy days is very muddy, and stilts are the tool for Miao people to go out in rainy days. They walk on stilts in rainy days, wearing coir raincoats, so that the stilts are like walking on the ground. Hokage is a proud person. He kills people and gets carried away. He wants to see our jokes , and deliberately performed forward bowing in front of me. But I didn’t expect that I would have suspected him a long time ago, it’s a pity that we have to establish a name, otherwise we will directly kill them.”

Wu Defu looked up to the sky and said: "There are so many people from the White Lotus Cult, they should be the helpers invited by those people, and they want to muddy the pool of water in the capital, do you think it is possible?"

Li Guolou pondered for a moment and said: "The White Lotus Sect is already a member of the underworld. They rely on their martial arts skills to get involved in any business. What the second brother said is right, those people are going to do it. The patriots are here. The White Lotus Sect against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty should be bought with money. People of ethnic minorities with stubborn tempers will not make money, but patriots will make money. Second brother, you have never heard the speeches of patriots. It is called blood boiling. The future is in their hands In the French Concession, everything is easy. Overthrow the decadent Manchu Dynasty, and you will not need money for anything in the future. Warships and cannons are everywhere, and the common people can eat whatever they want. When I arrive in the French Concession, I will take you to listen to a speech by a patriotic righteous man, like People like you who have the blood of the Han people and have an analytical mind will immediately grow rebellious bones on their heads."

"Hey, third brother, you are a rebellious boy, do you think I can't see it?"

"Hey, I haven't reached that point yet. I just want to change the obsolete and outdated situation of the Qing Empire. The emperor and the president are the same. There is no big difference between the concentration of power in the hands of one person or a group of people. The British constitutional monarchy is better. ?”

Li Guolou exposed his inner thoughts, he is a reformist who supports the constitutional monarchy through and through.

Wu Defu said: "Little Japan is reformed in this way. We can only wait for the day when God's will comes. Now we still develop and strengthen ourselves. If we have Qian Bailian, they will follow us. Don't you think so?"

Li Guolou nodded and said: "It makes sense, let's stop talking about state affairs and continue listening to the show."

Li Guolou and Wu Defu's relationship has gone a step further. They have the same ideals, and their desire to serve the country allows them to work together.

Few Han people wholeheartedly supported the Manchu-Han regime. They all wanted to change the country's poverty and backwardness, and hoped for a savior to appear. "Aixinjueluo" has been favored by the Quartet for 200 years, and the throne has long been recognized by the general public.There is not much difference between Han people being emperors and Manchu being emperors.Today is not the scene when the Manchus entered the customs, let’s keep their hair but not their heads, Yangzhou massacres the city in ten days, Jiading exterminates human beings.The Manchu regime used tenderness towards the general public. Except for Zeng Guofan who killed people like hemp, the Empress Dowager Cixi gave official hats to the rebels who surrendered, and gave the rebels a chance to be a new man.

Now it seems that the Qing Empire is in jeopardy and precarious, but there is no chaos in the world, but the rebels have not received a response from all, and the Nian army has become the last of its strength.The general situation in the world has returned to a state of calm, and only a few grains of sand are left in the mighty anti-Qing torrent.
