Li Guolou calmed down and returned to his office.When Ma Dequan saw Li Guolou enter the door, he immediately stood up and said, "Captain Li, good afternoon."

"Well;;;;;; don't stand here like a mourning star, what should I do? Opportunities are for those who are prepared. If you have nothing to do, go to the martial arts field to exercise." Li Guolou glanced. Ma Dequan is indescribably awkward.

Li Guolou thought about getting rid of this person who ate inside and outside, but considering that Ma Dequan had a dozen or so members in Ma Dequan's family, Ma Dequan alone supported him. If he didn't want Ma Dequan, this person would not even be able to support the family. Guolou still took the package, and the team had a man who only paid his salary and didn't work.

Li Guolou felt that he had done his utmost to Ma Dequan. He had promoted Ma Dequan to lead a team of newcomers and established the first spear team in the Ministry of Justice.But now things have changed, and Ma Dequan can only be a nobody in the Yamen.Either Ma Dequan would leave his job and go to the society to make his own way, but it is important to have self-knowledge. Li Guolou saw Ma Dequan dead at a glance, and a clumsy person is useless in this society.

Ma Dequan was released from the prison and returned to the yamen, but he was isolated by his brothers and had nothing to do all day long. He was depressed and depressed, which made him a little disheartened.

Ma Dequan murmured: "Captain Li, I have nothing to do all day now, can I find a job?"

"Ma Bing, don't think too much, as long as I am here, I will cover you, but there is no banquet in the world. In this case, you should be on guard. Live in peace and stability, and when your son grows up in a few years, let him Follow me, do you understand what I mean?" Li Guolou didn't say it clearly, so he asked Ma Dequan if he could understand what he said.

Even if Ma Dequan is abolished in this life, no officer will use him. Li Guolou is in the position now, and he still wants to share some benefits with Ma Dequan. When he leaves, even an old brother like Ai Hai will not pay attention to Ma Dequan.If a person makes a wrong step, he will be doomed. The consequence of Ma Dequan's joining the Ba'ath Party is that there is no hope in this life.Unless he is the head of the Baath Party, rehabilitated and returned to the embrace of the Qing Empire, then it is a different matter, and he can still be promoted as an official.

Ma Dequan hesitated for a moment, then summoned up his courage and said, "Captain Li, how about I be your servant?"

"This;;;;;;" Li Guolou didn't expect that stupid people can also be smart, so he couldn't lose face, and said hesitantly: "Ma Bing, go to guard the value first, and wait for two years. You have to behave well. I will never forget that we were brothers once."

"Yes! Captain Li!" Ma Dequan straightened his spine, stroked his chest with his right hand, gave a military salute, turned and left the office.

Li Guolou sighed softly, being alone, why would he join a mysterious society?The preacher is eloquent and has the ability to resist, but most people cannot resist the rhetoric of the preacher.Illiterate and ignorant civilians listen to the wind and rain, flock to it, and vow to follow those gods and men to the death. Superstitious ideas kill people.

Li Guolou saw the horror of the spread of ideas, but all kinds of new ideas and new civilizations attacked like giant langs, and the Qing Empire was attacked by a lang that was greater than a lang.The traditional conservative ruling class firmly controls the court, and refuses to admit the progress of new ideas. The undercurrent of the Qing Empire is waiting for the next outbreak.

"Hey hey!" Ai Haitian poked his head into the room cheekily, and said with a playful smile, "Captain Li, the report I wrote is okay."

"Don't trample on my IQ. Can the report be written if I knew that the red diamond was in the deceased's mouth? This is what I know from the criminal's statement. Take it back and rewrite it for me." Li Guolou didn't give Ai Hai a good look. , I can't even write superficial articles in the officialdom, and I have forgotten the basic principles of being a catcher.

"Hey!" Ai Hai took it for granted, picked up the post on the table, the officer always wanted to find some clues about his subordinates, so as to highlight the officer's wise leadership.

"Reward silver, did you get it back?" Li Guolou asked.

Ai Hai said sternly: "Of course, I don't see rabbits and don't spread eagles. Hou's family is as deep as the sea. How can I not finish the matter once and for all, a total of 550 taels of silver, one tael is not a lot." A stack of bank notes was handed to Li Guolou.

"Oh;;;;;; Cheng Kunyu is not bad, give me 50 taels of silver." Li Guolou casually put the 50 taels of silver in his pocket. Carve up.

"What a fart!" Ai Hai cursed angrily: "We found some funeral objects of the Cheng Kunyu family's dead in Zhang Xiuyu's house, and they are worth thousands of dollars."

"Oh;;;;;;" Li Guolou was also a little bit annoyed. Cheng Kunyu, as a high-ranking Manchu official, was the one who could only get in and out, so he only gave the extra 50 taels of silver when he cheated the arrester.

Li Guolou had a sudden flash of inspiration, and immediately knew what was wrong, and smiled casually: "Baldy Ai, you are such an idiot, Cheng Kunyu is not so stingy, it must be the housekeeper Chang Shikuan who gave away a bounty. You go and scare him, tell him He splits the benefits half and half, and there is always 250 taels of silver."

Ai Hai slapped his head, and said anxiously: "Oh, why didn't I think of that! I'll do it right away, let Gao Yao catch the head and play the god of death to scare people!"

Li Guolou looked at Ai Hai's hurried appearance, and raised his voice: "Deputy Ai, go early and come back early, dinner tonight!"

"Hey!" Ai Hai felt relieved, knowing that Li Guolou didn't blame him for poisoning Wu Defu, and there were some things that the third brother Li Guolou didn't need to whisper or give orders. , the subordinates should do it themselves.Li Guolou wants to live in the halo of being caught by gods and be worshiped forever.

In the afternoon, Li Guolou sat at his desk and finished reviewing the posts, wrote the report, blew with his mouth, and waited for the calligraphy to dry.The elegant font is quite eye-catching, Li Guolou and Tao Taoran admired it for themselves.It is good to stay in the inner house. The more time you spend on writing and writing, the writing will improve. One day when he sits in a high position, the writing can be exchanged for money and a house.

Succeeding in the business field, selling officials and nobles to a higher level, cultivating cultural heritage, Li Guolou is in a good mood.With his good looks and his eloquent mouth, he is already a successful person.

As usual, Li Guolou's monkey buttocks can't sit still. He was about to leave the Yamen before it was time to get off work. From the day I went to work, there were not a few days when I went to and from get off work normally.The officer couldn't find him either, so Li Guolou put on his big-headed official hat and walked out of the office.

Li Guolou had heard of the cynicism and sarcasm of his colleagues, and could not understand his behavior. He greeted him kindly on the surface, but spoke ill of him in front of the officer behind his back.Li Guolou pretended to be affectionate and nodded to the few old scholars who came and went. He couldn't tell their names, and they just called them by their first names.

A tree that is more beautiful than the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and a tree that is superior to others must be condemned.Excellent working ability made Li Guolou unique in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and he became the object of praise of Bao Yitong, and there were also voices of criticism.The old pedant recorded Li Guolou's untimely actions, and even dug out Li Guolou's privacy, and recorded the file to smear Li Guolou. Li Guolou could only nod to these old-fashioned and unaccommodating people.People who talk less than one piece will never get in touch with each other.

Li Guolou is slowly changing himself, and he no longer wears unusual clothes in the Yamen, but he still stands out from the crowd, exuding a foreign style all over his body, and he naturally becomes a fake foreign devil in the eyes of the world.

When Li Guolou came to the door, Cheng Kun, his younger brother, had already ordered the carriage. Li Guolou put on an official appearance, nodded slightly, and boarded the carriage.Some powerful people are accompanied by family guards, and there are horse-drawn carriages to take them to and from get off work, but he is still not used to this kind of life. Let the servants control his every move, and the space for freedom is getting smaller and smaller. Li Guolou still wants to be unrestrained. Life.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, Li Guolou's carriage came east to Jiangxiang. When he saw the plaque of the Anhui Fellow Township Association, Li Guolou thought that five fellow villagers would take the imperial examination next month.I should do my best to visit them as a landlord, since it's still early anyway.

Li Guolou patted the carriage, and said casually: "Master, the parking is here."

Li Guolou jumped out of the carriage with his official cap in his hand, and counted thirty copper coins to the coachman.

"Thank you, sir!" The old coachman bowed, his face full of creases squeezed together, and the traces of the vicissitudes of life were engraved on his face.

"You're welcome, labor is the most honorable." Li Guolou greeted the coachman in a slippery tone.

Wearing an official robe and walking in the guild hall, the people around saw Li Guolou bowed their heads and bowed, and the women blessed him.There were also gorgeous prostitutes winking at Li Guolou, Li Guolou felt strange, why did the prostitutes come to the guild hall to sit on the stage so early, how could rich people live in the guild hall?

"Fake foreign devil, you are wearing an official robe, do you want to collect money?" Fan Dahui opened the room and saw Li Guolou dressed up, his eyes turned red with jealousy.

"What's wrong! Can't I come? Who called a prostitute just now?" Li Guolou stretched his neck to look at the people in the room.

"Hey hey hey!" The five people in the room immediately turned into dumb shells, only giggling.

"It's outrageous. People go outings to flirt with little girls and make promises with your body. You can bring the prostitute back." Although Li Guolou was the youngest, he acted as the boss and reprimanded the five fellow villagers. .

"God catcher, how do you know that we went out for an outing?" Zhu Dinghe couldn't believe it, Li Guolou knew what they had done before he stepped into the room.

"Hey!" Li Guolou sat on the back chair complacently, and said with a smile, "Because I smell the breath of spring and wild flowers."

"Oh;;;;;;" The five students suddenly realized that a bouquet of wild flowers in a vase on the table betrayed their whereabouts.

Li Guolou was covered with scratches, and the five students touched Li Guolou's official robe enviously.

"Fake foreign devils, don't forget our fellow countrymen when you post it in the future."

"Mr. Li, can I be your master?"

"Lord Li, I don't ask too much. You get [-]% of your salary. The more bonuses, the better."

The five fellow students joked with Li Guolou one after another, wishing they could take off Li Guolou's official robe and put it on again.The official hat was worn by five people in turn.

Li Guolou was indescribably happy, his position is a false title, but his official hat is a real ninth-rank official. He has turned from a black chicken into a phoenix.

A scholar who obtained the titles of "Student" and "Township Tribute" through the academy or prefectural and county examinations at the local level is qualified to be a Jinshi. Go to the local government.The emperor will directly confer an official position unless the top three are selected in the examination, that is, the number one scholar, the second place, and the third flower.Therefore, obtaining a Jinshi is not a one-step success, and there is still a hard time to endure.It is not an easy task for a person of Jinshi background to go through untold hardships to obtain a ninth-rank official hat.However, if the Han people want to be an official, they can only take the single-plank bridge of scientific research. No matter how hard or tired they are, they will have to squeeze their heads. The dream of a scholar is the Imperial Academy.

Only the ninth-rank officials in the Qing Dynasty really stepped into the officialdom. The five students from the same hometown were extremely jealous of Li Guolou wearing official robes and red top official hats. They looked down on Li Guolou secretly and slandered Li Guolou countless times. This time, I didn't expect Li Guolou to become an official so soon.

Li Guolou taught in a superior tone: "You five, I don't know how many times I have said it, be honest, you are good at reading and reciting scriptures, but you! Take my words as wind on your ears, five and two Prostitutes get together, I really don't know what to say to you!"

Li Guolou is angry!Five people with a difference in age of ten years are as energetic as 20-year-olds, catching two out of five, and still in broad daylight, it is really embarrassing for the people of Hefei, Anhui!
