late Qing Dynasty arrest

At 04:30 in the afternoon, forty or fifty members of the National Baath Party left the NO.13 living room in batches, and everyone shook hands one by one to say goodbye.The long road is long, they don't know where they will meet again, and saying treasure is like parting forever.

Li Guolou and Wu Defu followed Su Yuli and Su Chenggong in the narrow alley. After walking for more than ten minutes, they came to a room without a house number. The four walked in cautiously.

The person who opened the door was Su Yuli's wife, Lu Sa, a Dutchman. Here, Su Yuli held a family banquet for Li Guolou and Wu Defu, and no longer invited them to eat pork and vegetable rice.

There was a charcoal stove burning in the room, and everyone took off their coats and talked and laughed happily at the banquet. They didn't talk about anti-Qing affairs, nor did they mention the cause of the Baath Party, and only talked about the boxing match that just ended.

Su Yuli rolled up his sleeves, picked up a big piece of meat in the soup, ate the meat, and said, "Xiaolou, don't I know you yet? This time I'll take a fancy to you and ask Lusa to bet the money on you. The Shikumen house was just bought back with the money I won. It was a success. This is a private gambling by my adoptive father and has nothing to do with public property. I will make it clear at the next party meeting.”

Su Chenggong threw a peanut into his mouth and said, "Father and mother, the Qi family can bring peace to the world. As long as the two adults don't forget me as a foster son, I don't have a house in the French Concession yet."

Dutch Rusa smiled and said, "Success, do you want to raise a French girl here?"

"How can I! I want to learn from my adoptive father and marry a foreign girl in a serious manner. From now on, no one will dare to stop me when I walk around in the concession." Su Chenggong replied glibly.

"Hey, Mr. Xiaolou, Mr. Wu, those police dogs look down on people, I just need to take my dear Lusa, no one will look at my documents, the concession only recognizes faces but not people, and you will be dragged behind if you have money If you have braids, people will look down on you." Su Yuli held Lusa's hand tightly, and thanked how many times his wife Lusa came forward to save him from the predicament.

The thief Li Guolou raised his wine glass high and said with a smile: "Then I wish Master and Mistress an early birth to a precious son."

Rusasese Mimi stared at Su Yuli, and also raised her glass. It seems that the two of them are going to have sex tonight.

Su Yuli stroked the white hair on his head, and talked for a long time: "Old man, I can't do what I want, I don't know if I still have this life, my dear Lusa, let it happen."

Su Chenggong raised his wine glass high, stood up and said, "Then we will be strong for our foster parents. Cheers!"

"Cheers!" All five stood up and clinked glasses together.

Li Guolou asked suspiciously: "Mrs. Rusa, you support your husband's career, so are you a member of the Baath Party?"

Rusa shook his head, "No."

Su Yuli said: "Xiaolou, I also want to leave a way out. I can't let two people in my family go in and no one will fish it out. It will be enough if my adopted son Su succeeds in my career. We will take over the signboard of the Baath Party." You can’t smash it in my hands, don’t you think?”

Su Yuli revealed the meaning of betraying his comrades, and made up a reasonable excuse.

"It makes sense, Mr. Su is happy to cooperate!" Wu Defu raised his wine glass and smiled slightly. Facing the two anti-Qing righteous men, he thought that one day their master, the British Devils, would betray them to Prince Gong Yixin. Seeing Su's father and son turned against each other.Can the sharp-mouthed Su Chenggong still talk big when he is in prison?Wu Defu believes that as long as Su succeeds overnight, he will change his beliefs, "It is better to live than to die." People who have not fought bloody battles cannot withstand the torture in the cell.

Su Chenggong looked at Li Guolou and Wu Defu through the glasses, and guessed which of the two people in front of him would become a real Communist Party member?The adoptive father said that Li Guolou is good at loyalty and has no firm belief, so he can be won over.And he judged through observation and words and deeds that Wu Defu is the target that can be used. The county magistrate is not as good as the current supervisor.

Su Chenggong stood up, held his glass high and smiled, "Mr. Wu is happy to cooperate."

Lusa stood up and poured wine for the four of them with a smile. She stayed out of the matter and had no psychological pressure.It never occurred to me that the four comrades who greet each other with smiles are calculating each other psychologically. The two sides who are using each other will one day draw their swords and face each other. The glass of wine in their hands is their practical wine. .

Lusa, a Dutchman who was born as a prostitute, did not forget to touch Li Guolou's thigh beside Li Guolou, what a strong muscle.

Ever since Li Guolou fought a boxing match, every time he ate at a restaurant in the French Concession, he would meet a woman to take advantage of him.Li Guolou, who was accustomed to it, smiled sweetly, and ate the peanuts unmoved, stirring slowly in his mouth, smiling to see that Su Yuli didn't seem to feel any pain.

The banquet ended happily, and only Li Guolou, Wu Defu, and Su Yuli were left in the dining room. They drank green tea and blew the green leaves on the tea, and the formal negotiation began.

Su Yuli said: "We still have some comrades in the prison in Tianjin. I wonder if Mr. Wu can help?"

Wu Defu took a sip of tea, raised his head and said, "As long as there are no people sentenced to death, I can take care of them. Mr. Su has given you face, and you have to show sincerity, otherwise there will be no way to cooperate in the future."

"Well, what I said is true. Some of my comrades have already parted ways with me, and they still want to seize my family property, and they have done the most intolerable thing. Which is unbearable! This time they sent The Chinese zodiac signs are lurking in the capital, and they want to do a shocking case. They thought they did it without anyone noticing it, but I didn't expect that I even got their list. The great credit of Mr. Wu is not to let you let a few people go It's so simple, do you understand?" Su Yuli looked at Wu Defu, as if he was the master rewarding Wu Defu with a piece of meat and bone.

"Thank you for reminding Mr. Su, as long as the information is reliable, the door here will be open to Mr. Su in the future, and the criminal department can withdraw your arrest warrant, but I don't know if Mr. Su wants it or not?" Ron, let's talk about God's grace.

Su Yuli hesitated for a moment, then said: "Mr. Wu, the future will be long, can we talk about it after the wind blows?"

Wu Defu glanced at him and said: "Mr. Su, Ming people don't do secret things, and it's useless to stay in the concession for a lifetime and not come out. If one day you want to be promoted and make a fortune, let us know, maybe we can also become ministers in the same hall, and leave a note." The back road is not enough, when the warships of the Beiyang Navy arrive, it might be too late, don’t you think?”

During the day, Su Yuli, Su Chenggong and others were instilling in Wu Defu and Li Guolou the program of the Revolutionary Baath Party, and now Wu Defu is going to do the opposite and recruit Su Yuli into his army.

Su Yuli, who had long been an old fried dough stick, laughed and said without saying a word: "There are many old friends, and there will be a day when we meet again, either in God or in the world, Mr. Wu, don't you think so?"

"Looks like we'll meet again!" Wu Defu didn't say anything, and just said it. If the time has not come yet and the hearts of the people have not been subdued, when the country is strong, these righteous men will return to their nests tiredly. Return to the arms of the mother of the Qing Empire.

"These people are going to blow up the current emperor and Prince Gong. The time is the day of ancestor worship on the first day of March this year. They have already mastered the route of Prince Gong to Xiannongtan that day. They are responsible for the construction of the Jinshui Bridge. The construction that ends in the middle of the month will bury several tons of explosives there. I have a list of them here. The rabbit is my person in the Chinese zodiac. Please ask Mr. Wu to do a better job and let him escape from the capital. Rebellion, you can figure it out." Su Yuli steadily put a roster on the table, and glanced at Wu Defu and Li Guolou, he brought wealth and glory to them both.

"Haha runs faster than a rabbit, he lives up to his name." Wu Defu said a strange thing, took the roster and looked at it, his eyes were not the plan and the twelve names, but the seven-rank official hat that was within easy reach.

"I still have the name of the mastermind behind this incident. When the time comes, ask Prince Gong to put pressure on the British and extradite the three of them back to China. We must eradicate them." Su Yuli told his three life-and-death brothers If they are sold together, Shunli Shipping Company will become his own property in the future, and he will think about himself when he grows old. Su Yuli already has the idea of ​​returning to the embrace of his mother.

Wu Defu and Li Guolou turned over and bowed, Wu Defu lowered his voice and said: "Thank you, Mr. Su, we will never forget each other in wealth and honor in the future, and the emperor and Prince Gong will know about your old achievements."

Su Yuli helped Wu Defu and Li Guolou up with a smile, and said with a smile: "There is still a long way to go, I will come to you when I have difficulties, and just don't let me be shut down."

Wu Defu said solemnly: "Mr. Su, don't worry, as long as you don't raise the flag to rebel, our brothers in Tianzihao will regard you ** Fuxing Party members as friends. In the future, if there is anything you can't get rid of in the capital, just come to us."

The more Wu Defu thinks about it, the more complacent he is, and his contribution is getting bigger and bigger. If he wants to pull a group of people who fought against the Qing Dynasty in the concession to return to the court, he will get both glory and power, and the official hat of the sixth rank will also be in his pocket.

Li Guolou thought of how despicable Su Yuli's intentions were. Shunli Shipping Company's career in the shipping industry was stagnant. If it wanted to go to the next level, it had to establish a good relationship with the Qing Empire, and its career and ideals conflicted. In the end, Su Yuli finally abandoned his decades-old ideals for the sake of career development.It is also possible that Su Yuli had no ideals in the first place, and joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom just to prove his ability.

Su Chenggong took a large bank note from Su Yuli, making him smile with joy, and thanking his adoptive father and adoptive mother non-stop.

Su Yuli sighed: "Success, this money is for you to find a wife to live, don't mess around outside, we are staying in the concession to carry out the revolution, we don't need you to be a bachelor. Stop fooling people by saying that the revolution is not successful. Home, your home is all spent on you."

"Hey! Thank you foster father for teaching me. I will definitely arrange my life well. When I return to the British Concession, I will find my wife." Bewitching people's hearts, making friends from all over the world, he doesn't need to settle down and start a career.

Lusa looked annoyed, she didn't have a son, and could only watch her husband give money to an outsider's "son".Showing her charm, she said, "Honey, let's go to bed and rest. I promise to give you a big fat son this time. You have to work hard, come on."

"Hi! Dear Lusa, let's take a bath together." With a lot of strength, Su Yuli picked up the delicate Lusa and walked to the bathroom.

Li Guolou and Wu Defu left Shikumen and walked to the bustling street. The people here are well-dressed, with all kinds of strange appearances.

Li Guolou couldn't help sighing: "The concession is also good. The prosperous world of flowers and flowers is right in front of us. No matter how big the hatred between people is, it can be resolved through negotiation here. I like staying in the concession."

"Yeah, how many people are willing to leave? The ideal and the reality are in front of you. If you really go there, you will see the ugly side of human nature. Those expatriates are not proud of their status as citizens of the concession. To love the country is to love the poor. , the rich will only hide in the concession and let the poor work for him. As long as the concession exists for a day, there will be violent martyrs, more and more explosives will appear in the capital, and the mighty historical trend is irreversible." Wu Defu said The excitement just now, thinking of the terrible scene in the future, the seeds have been sown, and the roots and sprouts are just around the corner. The future is the harvest season, and the fruits are explosives with sparks.

"Hey, the second brother cares about him. We will grow old in the future. Let future generations call us the lackeys of the Qing Dynasty. What future generations don't know is that their revolutionary martyrs once ate pork and vegetable rice with us." Li Guolou Undoubtedly, his glib nature is fully revealed, and he no longer worries about the internal friction of those Communist Baathists.

"Well, the pork oil and vegetable rice tastes great, and the rice in the big pot tastes delicious. When those Communist Baathists saw us eating the second bowl, they wanted to blow us up to death."

Wu Defu told a joke, and he laughed too. He was as heartless as Li Guolou, he only thought about his own future, and he had to rely on the blood of the revolutionaries to dye his head and wear Hualing.
