late Qing Dynasty arrest

"Mike, there is another piece of "Ode to Peony" at my house, let's get it first." Zhen Yuhuan seemed to remember an important thing and reminded Li Guolou.

"Anita, you keep it, it will be worth thousands in the future, remember to put it in the sun to dry." Li Guolou was not fooled, and the desire to go home was kept in his heart.

"Hmph! Uncle Dumb, go to Baozhi's room! I want to eat." Zhen Yuhuan opened the front window of the carriage and greeted Uncle Dumb, the coachman.

Li Guolou lowered his head dejectedly, and ran into another obsessive woman, and he couldn't get rid of her even if he wanted to, what a rotten peach blossom!

"Anita, don't push yourself too hard, come back to me after dinner." Li Guolou ordered, with an unhappy expression on his face.If I didn't go home for two days, I brought back an old woman. The lovers at home should not fall into trouble.

"Huh! You want to drive me away, there's no way!" Zhen Yuhuan hugged Li Guolou and acted like a baby. This man is soft, and she can be hard or soft, and she has no disadvantages against men.

"Dear Anita, please give me three days, I still have to catch the murderer. Have you forgotten to avenge your two lovers?" Li Guolou knocked on the wooden fish to calm Zhen Yuhuan, Don't think about messy things in your head.

"Oh;;;;;; Don't worry, Mike, as long as you introduce me to Xiaofang, I can handle any woman who loves money." Zhen Yuhuan let go, not forcing people too much. A lover's virtue is clear.

Li Guolou heaved a sigh of relief, and his mind flew to Sansheng Temple, which is his arena. For the first time in his life, he had a decisive battle with the poisonous Tang Sect. Win the victory and save your life.

Li Guolou took out a French silver coin and said with a smile, "Dear Anita, widen your eyes and see where this silver coin has gone?"

"Left hand!" "Right hand!" "You hid it in your sleeve!" Zhen Yuhuan guessed eight out of ten, and the silver coins flew in Li Guolou's hands, making people dizzy. Zhen Yuhuan was immersed in the magical game, Smile so brightly.

Sansheng Nunnery is located in a secluded place on the west side of the capital city, where a Taoist temple with white walls and black tiles is hidden by vegetation.In front of the gate of the Taoist temple, there is a huge stone turtle (the sixth son of the dragon called: Bixi bixi, also known as Baxia) carrying an ancient stone tablet on it, with three characters "Sansheng Temple" engraved on it.Li Guolou stepped into the Sansheng Nunnery alone, and respectfully offered money for incense and asked to meet with Mrs. Baimei.

The inside of the temple is very clean. There are stone-carved dragons on the arches of the front hall, and a building at the back, all of which are glazed components.Several plum trees were planted in the atrium, and the branches were full of yellow and pink plum blossoms. Where the breeze passed, petals fell down.Standing under the tree is a middle-aged Taoist nun in plain clothes and tied hair. The breeze blows her Taoist robe and the whisk in her hand, as if a fairy is isolated from the world.

Li Guolou didn't see the middle-aged Taoist nun's white eyebrows, so he said somewhat puzzled: "I'm going down to Li Guolou, please meet the white-browed master."

The nun slowly turned her head back, but there was a trace of loneliness on her peerless face, and she uttered an ethereal voice: "Amitabha! Li benefactor, the poor nun is Baimei Shitai. If Li benefactor doesn't mind, please come into the inner hall for a cup of tea." , speak slowly."

"Master please first!" Li Guolou's eyes seemed to see his bones, his slender eyes were fixed on the fly whisk in the hands of the white-browed teacher Tang Rouwen.

Li Guolou's footsteps hesitated slightly, Tang Rouwen, the white-browed teacher, was obviously not surprised by his appearance, and even seemed to have been waiting for him to arrive, and even washed off the white dye on his eyebrows.

A wisp of green smoke rises from the incense burner in the hall, causing a faint fragrance to spread throughout the room, which is refreshing.Li Guolou sniffed the fragrance carefully, a familiar sweetness made him feel drunk, this woman can also make Zixia fragrance?

With a bit of vigilance in his heart, Li Guolou looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back.There is no "Ode to Peony" on the wall, but there is a painting "Plum Blossom in Wind and Snow" with the same technique. Li Guolou squinted his eyes and looked at the protruding petals on the painting. The pink and yellow petals were bright and full, sprinkled in the air , fell on the snow, and the plum blossoms on the branches were tall and straight.

"Master Baimei has superb painting skills. This painting seems to be alive." Li Guolou turned his head to look at Tang Rouwen, the teacher with white eyebrows who was sitting on the side, and praised him.

"Li Butou, do you know how to paint?" The white-browed master looked sideways at Li Guolou, with a faint smile on his mouth, even the smile of an extraordinary person has a fairy-like taste.

"Hahaha!" Li Guolou laughed dryly and said three times: "My lover opens Zhenbaoxuan, where there are many paintings by famous artists, I have heard and seen them."

Li Guolou bit the word "lover" very strangely, stabbing at the sitting teacher with white eyebrows like a sharp thorn.

Master Baimei didn't seem to hear, she still sat like a bell, looking at the illusory world with her eyes, as if she was sitting in meditation without distracting thoughts.

A young nun carried a teapot and entered the study to make tea. The act of pouring water gently made Li Guolou more vigilant. The young nun also knew kung fu.

"This is the fragrant tea from Sansheng Nunnery, please give it a try." Master Baimei handed over a white jade teacup.

Li Guolou took the teacup to his mouth, but stopped, smiled, put the teacup on the coffee table, and said, "Oh! I haven't reported my family name yet, senior, please forgive me. Li Guolou from the Criminal Department That is, I came here today to pay respects to senior because of "Ode to the Peony", I don't know if senior is willing to enlighten me."

Master Baimei stretched out her jaded hand, took the teacup that Li Guolou had put down in her hand, and drank it down in one gulp, as if telling Li Guolou not to be mischievous.

"Don't dare to enlighten me, I have heard the name of Li Butou for a long time, what's the matter?" Master Baimei seemed to be in a daze, an extraordinary person who forgot the ordinary things in the world.

"This;;;;;;" Li Guolou didn't know where to start, the poison gas on the painting "Ode to Peony" will disappear, he has no reason.

"My master's "Ode to the Peony" is a masterpiece that I admire very much. It is worthy of being the essence of the Tang Sect. It kills people invisible. As a junior, even if you see through the path, you can't follow the trail." Li Guolou went straight to the point. .Playing Tai Chi with people in Buddhism, you can talk about mysterious things for a day, but it is better to say less about irrelevant things.

"Oh;;;;;; is that so? Hahahaha!" The white-browed master Tang Rouwen seemed to return to the glorious years of the past, smiling like a hero, staring at Li Guolou with eagle-like eyes.

"Since my wife has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements, why do you bother with common people's affairs. Those who offend the Qingping Society will be wiped out." Li Guolou blurted out a threat. Wait for Master Baimei to fall into the trap.

"Bold! This is a royal temple, how can you defile it!" The little nun standing aside pointed at Li Guolou and scolded softly.

"Ping An, you go out, there is nothing for you here." Master Baimei sent the apprentice away safely with an order.

"Captain Li, you are very courageous. Knowing the past of the poor nun, you still dare to go alone on the Tiger Mountain." Mrs. Baimei pushed a cup of undrinked tea on the desk to Li Guolou, trying to save everyone. Yes, if you want to listen to her, you have to drink tea like a distinguished guest.

Li Guolou looked down at the teacup on the table, the tea was floating in the water, and the fragrance of the tea overflowed, making people salivate.He hesitated and said, "Master, are you willing to tell me a thing or two?"

"Yes;;;;;" Master Baimei nodded and gave Li Guolou a satisfactory answer.

"Captain Li, poor nun, just like your master, once joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Only you know this secret." Master Baimei stopped and waited for Li Guolou to enter the game.

"Oh;;;;;;" In desperation, Li Guolou picked up the teacup, raised his neck and drank half a cup of tea.

"Captain Li, you have to know that people can't help themselves in the Jianghu. I only said half a sentence just now. I am still a member of the White Lotus Sect." Master Baimei looked at Li Guolou as if she was looking at a dead person.

"You, you, how did you poison it!" Li Guolou slumped on the seat, clutching his throat, his face pale.

"Hmph! Li Guolou, I want you to understand that the incense in this room is not poisonous, the oil paint on the painting is not poisonous, and the tea you drink is not poisonous, but these three nonpoisonous things are mixed together. Even the poison that the Heavenly King and I can’t save. I didn’t kill people for the people of the Qingping Society, I just waited for you to come, Li Guolou, you didn’t expect to have today. Hahahaha!” Master Baimei was so angry that the beams of the house were shaken , The long, sharp laughter echoed throughout the study.

"So that's how it is!" Li Guolou hoarsed at the top of his lungs, struggling to stand up, his hands slumped, and he fell to the ground. Death is not terrible, but the terrible thing is knowing whose hands it is before death.

"Hahaha!" Master Baimei stood up, glanced at the fallen corpse, and said loudly: "Peace;;;;;;"

Li Guolou, who was lying on the ground, suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed Master Baimei's ankles. With both hands, he knocked Master Baimei to the ground and punched Master Baimei in the face. .

Li Guolou took out a short-barreled musket and pointed it at the little nun Ping An at the door, saying, "Ping An, if you want to be buried with your master, you can go one step further. This place is already surrounded. I will copy the imperial Taoist temple."

"Benefactor Li! You defiled the gate of the temple!" Ping An stood unwillingly at the door, daring not to step in, and refused to admit defeat.

"Don't we still have us?" Four female pilgrims appeared out of nowhere, each holding a short-barreled musket in their hands. There are female arresters in the criminal department to deal with some female criminals. Hurry up.

"Cut off your fingernails, check your teeth to see if there are any dentures, change your clothes, and look more carefully." Li Guolou didn't drink that cup of tea at all. The transformation of the magic shape made Master Baimei think that he drank the poisonous tea.

"Understood! Long-winded!" Mongolian Gao Yao Wuyun scolded Li Guolou in a sweet voice. She was a catcher instead of her father. She was a master of eavesdropping, and her tracking skills were slightly inferior to her father Qing Geertai. Originally working in the town outside the city that governs the Sansheng Temple, this time she was specially transferred to the team for this operation.

Li Guolou looked at Ping An who was tied up, and smiled casually: "Ping An, do you want to live?"

Teams of troops appeared in Sansheng Nunnery, which was buzzing with people. They were the admirals of the Nine Gates. Master Baimei was too poisonous to kill You Gaoming, the commander of the Eight Banners Guards of the Ministry of War. The situation had already risen to the level of national defense.

Covered with a veil and dressed in casual clothes, Ping An bowed his head and left, disappearing into the vast crowd. Li Guolou looked at the Ping An confession in his hand with a sneer.He wants to plant countless nails in the White Lotus Sect, and Hokage will die in his hands sooner or later.
