late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 198 Escape from the Dead

Wu Defu rushed to the capital with four guards. The five of them did not rest at the halfway inn. They rode straight for more than 200 miles to the east gate of Mingyang Gate. It was already night and Wu Defu could not enter. The city lived in the post outside the city.

After a good dinner, Wu Defu didn't go to bed. He couldn't sleep and felt anxious, thinking about too many things.Now he is not afraid that his work will not be in vain, but he is afraid that there will be a sudden change in the future. Those Baath Party leaders who stayed in the concession have never thought of rebelling. host.The twelve members of the Ba'ath Party on the roster in Wu Defu's hands have various occupations, and some of them are public officials in the six ministries.Twelve radical Baathists, how many Baathists will they develop?Wu Defu was afraid that the news would leak out, and the arrest work would not go smoothly.

How to formulate the arrest work gave Wu Defu a headache. There must also be members of the Baath Party lurking in the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. This kind of game where you have me and I have you, used to be played with gangsters, but now there are more rebels.I want to let the admirals of the Nine Gates intervene, so that it will be easier to successfully arrest the members of the Baath Party.But with this idea, Shang Shubao must not give the credit to the people in the army for nothing, and even if Baotong falls short, he will never give the information to others.

In the past, Wu Defu thought that the Han people were friends and brothers, and the Manchus were trash, but when it came to life and death, he felt that none of the Han people could be trusted. On the contrary, the Manchus could be of great use. A rough arrest plan is already being drafted.Wu Defu sat under the oil lamp to write paperwork. The dim light was kept on all night, and he was dressed neatly and waited for the arrival of morning.

When the dawn dawned, Wu Defu and his party of five rode towards Mingyang Gate, the east gate. The posthouse was only two miles away from the city gate, and they could not ride horses not far from the city gate. The five got off their horses and prepared to pass through the city gate. .Going through the city gate is not a single gate, there are three gates in total. Wu Defu and his party walked through the gate on the left where officials can pass.

Wu Defu was still dressed as a fake foreign devil, and his casual clothes looked eye-catching among the four subordinates.The cold wind blew on the face and caused pain, and the north wind formed a strange wind in the city gate, and a gust of piercing wind blew across Wu Defu's face obliquely, blowing his top hat away.

With an embarrassed smile on Wu Defu's face, he leaned over to pick up the top hat that had fallen on the ground. Suddenly, a gunshot sounded nearby, and one of Wu Defu's entourage fell to the ground. people.A flock of birds startled on the wall at the gate of the city, and Wu Defu lay on the ground, watching Wu Qian, a servant who had been with him for many years, die in front of him.

Wu Ta and his three followers hurriedly took out their short-barreled flintlock guns and surrounded Wu Defu. When a group of soldiers in the city gate heard the gunshots, they also ran out with their long guns. There was a panic outside the panicked city gate. , a figure rode a horse and fled into the distance.

Wu Defu looked at the fleeing figure, the expression on his face was hatred, he wanted to straddle his horse to catch up with the man who fired the black gun, but he had more important things on him, and he could only grit his teeth and bear it while watching his brother die in front of him. He stayed silent.

Wu Ta anxiously said: "Master Wu, let's chase, I will definitely kill that bastard."

"Master Wu, let's chase, we will be able to catch up soon, I want to avenge Wu Qian." Another follower also said anxiously, and another follower hugged his companion's body and cried bitterly. They all wanted to mourn for the dead Companion revenge.

Wu Defu gritted his teeth and endured the torment, his eyes were red and tears flowed, he wiped it suddenly, and said: "We can't chase, the killer is definitely not alone, they just want us to fall into a trap, and hunt down the killer outside the city, it's not up to a few of us to do it The matter." After finishing speaking, Wu Defu took out the official seal and went to tell the whole story to Chief Lan Ling, the gatekeeper.

After a while, a team of horses rushed out of the city gate to chase the murderer who fired the black gun. The people nearby were also dispersed. With a gunshot, a life disappeared from here.

Wu Defu already knew who wanted his life, and he knew who it was with that short figure.It was he who let this person go, he didn't expect that this person would kill him instead of being moral.Some people are incomprehensible freaks. They are anti-social and anti-conventional people. Talking about feelings with such people is a waste of your feelings.Wu Defu was annoyed why he didn't hack "Hokage" Hua Dandan at the beginning, and now this passive situation happened to be caused by himself.It doesn't count if a servant dies, and it will cause more damage.

At the edge of the city gate, Wu Ta hired a carriage and laid the dead body away.But Wu Defu didn't get on his horse, he said solemnly: "Wu Ta quickly change clothes and horses and go back to Tianjin and tell Xiao Lizi that the Hokage of the White Lotus Sect has made a move. Tell him to be careful on the way back to the capital and hire more bodyguards. If you show off your identity, the White Lotus Cultist will attack him outside the city."

"The Hokage of the White Lotus Sect!" Wu Ta asked with wide-eyed eyes. Wu Ta didn't think that Wu Defu would know who was going to kill him when he saw a back.

Wu Defu nodded and said: "Wu Ta, change your clothes and find Xiao Lizi quickly. Don't worry too much on the road. You can't avenge him. Xiao Lizi's family is dead. There is a nest of the White Lotus Sect outside the city. You don't want to ride a flying horse, Bai Lian The believers will suspect you, first mix in the carriage out of the city, as long as you arrive in Tianjin tomorrow, don't rush the time, the White Lotus believers will stare at you if you move."

Wu Ta muttered silently, Wu Defu nodded and said: "Just remember, don't bring a gun with you, it's more dangerous, hide the throwing knife, and kill whoever sticks to you at night."

Wu Taren was very clever, took off his spear and handed it to Wu Defu.It disappeared at the gate of the city in the blink of an eye, an ordinary, ordinary face with no distinctive features.After a while, Wu Ta curled up wearing a dog fur cap, wearing a navy blue padded jacket, straddling a cloth bag and passing Wu Defu, the two seemed to be strangers, and missed the figure without making eye contact.

Wu Defu looked down at his two hands, and said to himself: "Now I know I was wrong, the enemy can't stay, I will kill all the people in the juggling class of the Miao family. Wu Qian, you go, I will Bring you the head of your enemy as a sacrifice."

Thinking of the usual bits and pieces, Wu Defu wiped his eyes, he doesn't like to cry, crying is a sign of weakness.He wants to scalp his enemy alive. He has never tried the trick of skinning left by his ancestors. This time he wants to make his enemy suffer from ten tortures.

Wu Defu stepped into the carriage and entered the capital under the protection of a team of guards. The plan in his heart changed, and now the plan was even bigger and bigger. Wu Defu wanted to kill many enemies, far more than the Zodiac of the Baath Party lurking in the capital.

"Huoying" Hua Dandan galloped on the horse and fled on the forest path. He was slapping himself. The sudden encounter made him have the urge to kill, but God's will tricks people in an instant. Wu Defu escaped his fatal shot .

"Huoying" Hua Dandan got the news that Li Guolou beat the Frenchman Robinson Robinson in boxing in the French Concession in Tianjin. Lou returned to the capital.He wanted to try his luck to kill Li Guolou outside the city, but he didn't expect to meet a bigger enemy "Wu Defu". His uncontrollable desire to kill made him shoot involuntarily, but this shot missed the target. Now he can only find another way with his companions.

In the woods, "Huoying" Hua Dandan quickly changed horses. Three horses and ten companions disappeared on the dusty path. The village not far from here was a foothold of the White Lotus Sect in the capital.

Hua Dandan turned to look at a companion beside her, and said dejectedly, "I'm sorry!"

The eighth leader of the ax gang, Man You, said: "Hua Dandan, I asked you to pursue your goal. Your grandma's move made me startle the snake. I am really blind to cooperate with you. I really don't know how your reputation came out of it."

Hua Dandan sighed: "I'm really sorry, I couldn't hold back, but Wu Defu couldn't see my face, he must think it was done by the Baath Party, don't worry, the village chief and Baozheng here are all members of our Bailian sect, you are here Nothing is lost here."

Man Youli glared at Hua Dandan fiercely, and said, "Just this once, and next time, Hua Dandan, follow the rules of the world, stab yourself three times, and then say sorry to me."

Hua Dandan pretended not to hear, and asked, "Is everything arranged?"

Man Youli grinned grimly and said, "Don't worry Hua Dandan, fake foreign devils can't enter the capital, I will rape Second Mistress first and then kill her."

There was bursts of wild laughter around, and hundreds of disciples and grandchildren of the Ax Gang gathered together. Although they didn't have all the guns, they also had a lot of big knives and axes.

Man Youli said in a loud voice: "Brothers seek wealth and wealth, the fake foreign devils have scooped up enough gold and silver in the French Concession, shall we snatch the gold and silver?"

"Okay!" The ax gang yelled in unison.

"We still want to rob the foreign girls, to avenge the shame of the country!" The members of the Ax Gang yelled, and the ten brothers of the White Lotus Sect also yelled at the side. Apart from revenge, they also cared about the money that Li Guolou carried with him.

Among them was Li Guolou's new neighbor, Miao Fanlu, who also yelled among the crowd, thinking that Li Guolou would invite his whole family to dinner during the Spring Festival, and greet him with a cup of tea.Only here did he realize that the business he was going to do was to kill Li Guolou's family, and now he had no choice but to wipe the ax in his hand.The underworld is a path he chose by himself. He sold his life to his elder brother, and he can only exchange for the wealth and glory of his family by killing.

At this time, Li Guolou and his family were celebrating Mass in the Catholic Xikai Main Church in the French Concession. The whole family sat devoutly in the long row of chairs and listened to the bishop's sermon.Everyone needs faith, and Li Guolou is willing to dedicate one-tenth of his income to God in exchange for spiritual comfort.

The bishop in the church presided over the wedding ceremony of a newlywed couple. The bishop: "According to the divine will of God, are you willing to enter into a marriage relationship with this woman and live together? Will you love her, comfort her, and respect her protection in your lifetime?" Will she, in health or in pain, be willing to give up everything and be faithful to her forever?"

Male Williamist: "I do!"

The bishop said: "According to the divine will of God, are you willing to enter into a marriage relationship with this man and live together? In your lifetime, will you love him, comfort him, respect him, protect him, whether in health or pain, are you willing to give up everything?" , be loyal to him forever?" The female Kate said: "I am willing!" The bishop said: "Who is against the combination of these two?"

The audience was completely silent, only Zheng Lingling smiled coquettishly, which immediately elicited bursts of laughter.

The bishop was used to this kind of scene, and he still kept his seriousness. The bishop held Kate's right hand, and William followed the archbishop to say the wedding vows: "I william; Mike will marry you Kate; Yelia is my legal wife. Bad, rich or poor, in health or sickness, love and cherish you till death do us part. Before God, I swear to you."

Kate took William's right hand and followed the archbishop to say the wedding vows: "I, Kate; Yelia will marry you, William; Mike will be my wife. From now on, no matter good or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, Love you and cherish you until death do us part. Before God, I swear to you."

The bishop said: "God bless this ring, and bless the giver and the receiver will be faithful to each other and love each other forever until the end of life."

William put the ring on Kate and said: "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I will marry you, give you glory, and share my wealth with you, Amen."

The bishop said: "The eternal God, the creator and the guardian of all things, he gave us a noble spirit, he enjoys eternal life, and will bless the couple. They will fulfill their vows, and this ring will serve as a witness, forever Live in peace and joy, follow God's will. Amen."

The bishop put Kate and William's hands together and said: "May the two whom God has united, be never separated."

The bishop said loudly: "Since William and Kate have agreed to enter into a marriage and have exchanged vows and rings, I now declare that they are officially married in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen!"

The scene is warm and touching, the two newlyweds embrace and kiss together.

The bishop said: "The Holy Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit will bless you and give you grace and peace of mind, so that you will live your life and welcome the arrival of eternal life."

Everyone in the church stood up and applauded the couple. Li Guolou liked this kind of short and grand wedding, but he dared not tell the three lovers that they would hold such a short wedding in the future.
