late Qing Dynasty arrest

In the evening, Li Guolou and his group came to the Michelin-starred western restaurant for dinner. Western food emphasizes the atmosphere, and everyone sat separately and chatted independently.Li Guolou's family of five sat on back-to-back couch chairs to eat, and the Western food was served very slowly. Li Guolou was bored looking through the British Sun paper, and the three lovers next to him had endless topics to talk about.

Yu Hanbing hurried into the restaurant, came to Li Guolou's side, and said, "Hey, I finally found you, little Li, come out for me."

Seeing Yu Hanbing's nervous expression, Li Guolou thought something serious happened to his elder brother, so he stood up hastily and said, "Mr. Yu, my family is fine."

"I don't care about your family's affairs, I'm responsible for their safety." Yu Hanbing was a big man, turning his head to let Li Guolou follow behind him.

There are many things that men should not let women know, Li Guolou relaxed a lot, and walked to a corner of the corridor where others could not hear their conversation.

Yu Hanbing lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Lizi, something serious has happened. I just got news from Jianghu that someone is doing you bad things and wants to kill your whole family. They want to rob you on the way. You are not enough people to drink a cup of wine." What about the pot?"

"Who is it!" Li Guolou looked nervous, he was surrounded by family members, if something happened, how could he take care of so many burdens by himself.

"It's people from the White Lotus Sect and the Ax Gang. I can only pretend to be confused about this. I can't afford to offend the people from the White Lotus Sect and the Ax Gang. I can't add guards to you. You can find a way to add manpower yourself. I'll give you this news It is worth tens of thousands of gold, and you will pay back what you have in this life. Take care of yourself, and don’t let anyone give away your family members. They don’t want ransom. Do you understand?” Yu Hanbing’s hoarse voice seemed to be witnessing the bloodiest scene , he still likes Li Guolou, and at critical moments, people from the Gelaohui stand on the side of the third brother of Tianzihao.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu. Our Li family knows who our friends are in this life. I will find a way to say hello to my uncle in Sichuan. In the future, I will make the smoke and soil of your elder brother's association sell well in the whole Qing Dynasty." Li Guolou said boldly. Those who have capital are also qualified to say this. Li Hongzhang's eldest son Li Jingyi is a high-ranking official in Yunnan and Guizhou, and the Li family has long been a pillar of power in the south.Li Guolou is also a member of the Li clan. He took root in the capital and wanted to create a new world in the north. In the future, the money for filial piety will still fall into the pocket of uncle Li Jing.

"Don't let it go after the fact, come back to the capital alive, don't be brave! The ax gang is a life-threatening master, and the ax can't even handle the horses when flying over." Yu Hanbing still has lingering fears about the poor people's sect. Don't worry about it, the Ax Gang is a gang of poor people who don't want to die. They are all desperadoes.

Li Guolou nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yu, when did I suffer a loss and I haven't finished eating, come! Let's have a western meal together. This is much better than your Sichuan hot pot, and you won't get angry after eating it."

"Xiao Lizi, when it's time for you to recite, who didn't tell you not to stop talking about me, why are you looking for a foreigner?" Yu Hanbing had something to say, and went to dinner with Li Guolou with a smile. Come, I am afraid that Li Guolou will be plotted against.He bet heavily on Li Guolou, and the rewards are still flying in the sky. How could he let Li Guolou's decapitation go away.

"This is a high-end western restaurant. Mr. Yu is a national entrepreneur. Be careful!" Li Guolou smiled secretly, and sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he still has more friends and fewer enemies, otherwise he would die without knowing who did it.

Li Guolou looked around at his friends and guards, and said loudly: "I invite you to drink champagne, if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't go home."

The applause rang out, and the elegant demeanor looked very decent.This is a paradise for the rich. Only those who linger in this kind of place know the value of life.

Reporters should be able to bear hardships. However, the two reporters of French Pravda have been accustomed to eating and drinking since they followed Li Guolou. , They have countless potentials that can be tapped.Pravda can report some news about Li Guolou and anecdotes about Yelia every three days. People in the French Concession have long liked to read gossip about Li Guolou's family.

The next morning, Li Guolou and Yelia stepped into the Captain Iron Hook Casino. Although the one-eyed Jack had invited Li Guolou to dinner, it was the first time Li Guolou had come here.After discussing with his family, Li Guolou decided that it would be best to hire casino bodyguards.

These bodyguards were all mercenaries, and many of them had fought in battles, and even participated in the foreign gun team and the Taiping Army.They are not afraid of death. The boss, the one-eyed Jack, has bought them pension insurance. Even if they die on the battlefield, their family members will be taken care of. The welfare of the casino is the best. experience and mature emergency response measures.

One-eyed Jack was unhappy when he heard that someone wanted to kill Li Guolou, and cursed angrily.He readily agreed to Li Guolou's request and rented out the guards of the casino to Li Guolou, the price is negotiable.

Li Guolou hired 30 spear guards, most of whom were of mixed race, and they looked like mixed races.

The captain of the guard, Tang Ning, was less than 40 years old. He was short and lean, with black hair, blue eyes, and three mustaches. He looked like a general and claimed to be Portuguese.As soon as he found out that his hometown was in Macau, Li Guolou knew that this person was also a bastard.

Li Guolou paid the deposit on the spot, checked the team, and saw the faces of the 30 people clearly, so that Jack the one-eyed man would not fool him by replacing him with Qing people.

Seeing the uneven team, Yelia was 12 worried, and asked secretly: "Mike, I think we should invite people from the escort agency. How can such people fight against the rebels?"

"Hey, I also want to invite people from the Escort Bureau, but I'm afraid that the gangsters will shout at the time and show friendship, and the people from the Escort Bureau will betray us and sell us. Yeliya, don't look at these people. They have fought wars and are incomparable to the gangsters who are fooling around. These gangsters know how to fencing, and the speed of cutting people with an ax on the battlefield is too slow. When you meet such a good swordsman, the only ax is a throwing ax to cut people. Hold it in your hand The people from the Ax Gang are not these bastard opponents." Li Guolou comforted Yeliya, and he didn't know the guards of these casinos, but what can he do, he is not a high-ranking official, and he has no soldiers or servants to dispatch.

At this time, Li Guolou realized that to make money, you have to spend money to buy peace. He is used to being independent and likes to hang out by himself.Only now did I know the disadvantages of being a rich man. When he was out of the house, his enemies would attack him, and he was so arrogant that two mafia gangs fell in love with him.This was also something that was bragged in the newspapers, making people really think that he was making a fortune in the French Concession.The gangsters who robbed money thought that he would bring countless gold and silver treasures back to the capital.But in today's era, a promissory note can be carried with you, and there is a secret mark on it, even if it is stolen, it cannot be used as money.

"Mike, I must be by your side. You don't want to play tricks. I have also practiced fencing." Yelia predicted what Li Guolou would do, and let Li Guolou be mentally prepared first.

In front of many guards, Li Guolou couldn't say much, and replied vaguely: "Well, I understand, let's talk about it when we go back."

Yelia sighed: "Mike, after we return to Beijing, we will have to support more than a dozen family servants. If we don't support them, we will die. You are so big that you attract the wind, and there will be more and more people who have bad ideas about our family in the future."

"Well, I got it." Li Guolou repeated dryly, bowed his head in frustration, his life had just started, but he was struggling, how long could he last with the money he won from gambling?He seems to be very beautiful, but in fact he has never done any profitable business, and he belongs to the kind of person that La Langpei has.He cheated money from his family and lover to start his own business. As for the black money that he didn’t get into his pocket, he spent it again. His family has a big business, and he has a big business. I don’t know how many people have taken a fancy to him as a Tang monk.

When Li Guolou left, the one-eyed Jack warmly invited him, saying: "Mike, play a few games before leaving."

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Mr. Jack, since we are friends, I won't play anymore. I am a detective who can read people's faces best. As long as you gamble face to face, you will lose money in all likelihood."

"Hahaha!" One-eyed Jack laughed three times and said, "All gamblers think so."

Li Guolou took off his hat, held it in his hand, and said with a smile, "Mr. Jack is here to play with sand crabs for your sake."

"Please!" The flirtatious girl in revealing clothes took Li Guolou out to gamble, and the one-eyed Jack with a cigar in his hand behind him raised his voice: "Mike lost money, I can borrow money here."

Li Guolou didn't look back, he waved his hand and said, "Mr. Jack, you won't welcome me to gamble at Captain Iron Hook Casino in the future."

Yelia took a step forward, took Li Guolou's arm, and separated the coquettish girl from Li Guolou. The woman saw Li Guolou as if he was a fly attached to a maggot.She has never seen a woman that Li Guolou is not interested in. Li Guolou is about to compete with the ape Tarzan, which makes shameless women flock to her.Yelia is very concerned about Li Guolou's every move, and suspects that Li Guolou is messing around outside, but seeing that Li Guolou can still satisfy her desires, Yelia has not yet had a relationship with Li Guolou. Opening the stage to talk about this matter, she had already heard that Li Guolou and Yesenia were having an affair.

The casino is a place where the sun cannot be seen. The oil lamps hanging high above the head illuminate the room brightly. Li Guolou came to the blackjack table first.There are five gamblers on the long gaming table and a beautiful dealer.

Li Guolou smiled slightly, helped Yelia to sit down, and let his lover Yelia play a few games.Li Guolou looked at the gambling cards on the table, and couldn't help laughing, he was laughing at the rules of the casino.

At this time, the casino gambles with a set of poker cards, and then starts again with a new card after the cards are dealt in a round. This gives people an opportunity to remember the probability of playing cards.Li Guolou has an extraordinary memory for numbers, and he has also practiced it at home.

"Follow!" "Don't follow!" As if he didn't care about winning or losing, Yelia spoke gracefully and firmly, holding a glass of cocktail in one hand, and his sapphire-like eyes shot at every gambler.

With Yelia sitting at the poker table, there were not too many people missing. One person left and another new face immediately filled in. Five gamblers came and went in a hurry on the long table. Two hours later, Yelia was completely lined up. Qi colorful chips.

The coquettish girl never left Li Guolou's side, she kept delivering tea and towels to Li Guolou and Yelia, five chips fell into the gap between the coquettish girl's breasts, she was still waiting by Li Guolou's side, not satisfied, Staring at Li Guolou and Yelia, trying to figure out why luck is always with them.

Li Guolou pushed Yelia and said, "Dear Yelia, give Mr. Jack some face and don't come again. Forget about the sand crab, it's too big! Mr. Jack will be unhappy."

Yelia was still full of ideas, and sighed: "Yes! This kind of money is the easiest to come by, Miss, please exchange chips for us."

After speaking, Yelia coquettishly blew kisses to each of the five gamblers on the gaming table, letting people see her charming demeanor.

One-eyed Jack ran over, bowed his head to Li Guolou, and asked, "Mr. Mike, please tell me how you did it."

Li Guolou said: "Mr. Jack, if I tell you, it will cut off the wealth of countless people, and people will scold me to death."

One-eyed Jack grabbed Li Guolou's arm and refused to let go, begging, "Mr. Mike, I will open a casino in the capital and let you participate in it."

"Agreed?"

"A four-horse horse is hard to catch!" One-eyed Jack and Li Guolou clapped their hands and swore.

"Mr. Jack, in the future you will use four decks of cards to deal the cards together, so I won't be able to remember what card is underneath." Li Guolou Fuer sold a huge secret to Jack the Cyclops for free, flicking his thumb. A chip flew to the beautiful dealer, then turned the top hat in his hand with two hands crossed in a circle, put it on his head, still pressed his hand on the top of the hat, bowed his head slightly to the one-eyed Jack, turned around gracefully and left .

Regardless of Yelia's presence, the coquettish girl rushed up and handed a card to Li Guolou, and said softly, "Mr. Mike, remember my name is Nikita, and this is my home address. Please show me your favor."

Li Guolou smiled at the coquettish girl in embarrassment, took the card, and thought: the card will be torn off by Yelia when it leaves the door, and there will be no chance to see Nikita in the future.

Li Guolou took a deep look at the bumpy and plump figure of the coquettish girl Nikita. You can never finish seeing the beauty, just feast your eyes.
