late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 277 Revenge for Zhou Daguan

During the conversation, Lin Qingxie, the staff member, entered quietly and said with a smile, "The two adults are very happy to talk."

"Mr. Lin, you are a cat, why did you go upstairs without footsteps?" Li Guolou said dissatisfied.

"Hey, Captain Li, you don't understand this. People like me who sit in court usually do things lightly and can't disturb the chief to doze off. I have long been used to walking on tiptoe." Lin Qingxie changed into a long robe, with a bookish air , Sit down with a flick of your front clothes.

The three of them secretly laughed and drank tea like gentlemen, with smiles in their eyes.We are planning to divide up the land and houses in Balizhuang. Now the thirteen wealthy families in Balizhuang have been exterminated by the White Lotus Sect, and the buildings have already been emptied.As well as the appointment of new officials in Balizhuang, the three of them have the final say.

Bao put down his teacup together and asked, "Mr. Lin, how much money will the local tax bureau and the appointment of Baozheng and Village Zheng cost?"

"This;;;;;;" Lin Qingxie had no way of knowing, and he didn't even know how many acres there were in Balizhuang.The materials and books about Balizhuang in the village office have long been burned by the Bailian believers. The book in his hand was written on temporarily, and he walked around the village all afternoon, writing what he saw, but he hasn't figured it out yet.

Bao Yi frowned extremely dissatisfied, "newcomer" Lin Qingxie still couldn't be alone, Li Guolou rushed to save the scene, and interjected: "Master Bao, I have read some information, Balizhuang has 450 acres of land, rich man Zhou's There are 370 mu of land, half of which is good land, and the rest is mostly mountainous. The house has about one hectare of land, and the population originally had 1000 three households. The Land Taxation Bureau re-approved the land and real estate contracts. I think they will also have a bite. 1000 taels can’t be done. As for the official’s hat, it costs [-] taels from big to small.”

"Oh oh oh oh!" Bao Yi didn't look calm, but his heart was surging, "Zhou Papi" this is such a land, worth 10,000+ taels of money, the landlord just likes the land.No wonder it took more than ten years for the Qing army to wipe out the Nian army, and those soldiers and ruffians reaped so many benefits.

Bao Yi let out a long sigh and said, "It's a pity that I have to leave early tomorrow morning. Captain Li, I'll leave it to you to deal with it. As for the land, I'll round up [-] mu. The rest will be counted as expenses and rewards. You Just submit a list. The new Balizhuang officials will be selected from among the injured policemen and members of the militia. People with disabilities are preferred, and illiterates are not allowed. I will declare this first;;;;;;”

Li Guolou glanced at Lin Qingxie who was writing furiously, what kind of person is this?Angrily said: "Mr. Lin, this cannot be recorded, tear it up quickly."

"Oh!" Lin Qingxie saw that Bao Yitong was also glaring at him, and hurriedly rolled up the paper, put it on the oil lamp, and let the rice paper burn.

Bao Tong sighed: "Mr. Lin, it's good to learn from Captain Li. Don't just use the pen. Before the war, you should not only read the map, but also understand the human geography. You see, I thought Zhou Papi only had a few hundred acres of land, but now I know There is so much land." After finishing speaking, Bao Yi couldn't help laughing out loud, with only two confidantes around, he didn't need to pretend to be the ascetic Bao Qingtian.

Lin Qingxie laughed along, looking at Li Guolou next to him, the landlord Lao Cai concealed the land, he understood this kind of trickery.Li Guolou is just the number on the newspaper booklet, at least [-]% of the land is in Li Guolou's hands, and he will settle the account with Li Guolou later.

Li Guolou was overjoyed. This time he made a lot of money. Except for the chief officer Bao Yi, he got the most benefits. He accidentally became a landlord. When Bao Yi left, everyone would look at his face. Lizhuang became his kingdom.

"Master Bao, whose name is written in the contract?" Li Guolou asked.

"Yeah!" Bao Yitong was silent, his wife Xu Xiaogu had an affair outside, which made him lose face.His son, Bao Quanzhong, is not good enough, he only knows how to spend money lavishly.Little Xianggong Zhu Danyu will marry a wife and have children one day, but there is someone worthy of his trust.

"Just write Yesenia; Bao, the name of my second wife." Bao said with certainty.

Li Guolou turned pale with shock, and said anxiously: "Master Bao, I'm afraid this is not good, just in case;;;;;;" He was too embarrassed to say it, Yesenia is a gypsy, this kind of woman has no qualifications, One day Yesenia took a sum of money and went to the concession, as the detective Mike; Li couldn't find it.

Bao said with a loud smile: "Captain Li, it doesn't matter, isn't it just a house and some land, I know Yesenia; as a man, Bao is just as careful as your Yelia, and will serve me all his life. Haha Ha ha!"

"Really?" Li Guolou was suspicious, seeing Bao Tong laughing happily, could it be that Yesenia is pregnant?

"Congratulations, Mr. Bao, for the birth of a son in middle age." Li Guolou smiled brightly, and cupped his hands to congratulate Bao Yi, who was so ambitious that he was still able to hit the target with one shot.

Bao Yitong stroked his beard and squinted his eyes, and smiled casually: "Captain Li, I can't hide anything from you."

"Congratulations! Master Bao, your career and family have a good harvest." Lin Qingxie hurriedly cupped his hands, knowing what to do next?Bao Yitong has the idea of ​​divorcing his wife, this matter is difficult to handle, and will be criticized by the political opponents in the court, which is not good for his official career.

Thinking of the disadvantages, Lin Qingxie needed to seek support, and said in a soft voice, "Master Bao, we should wait until the news about the family members is heard, do you think it will work?"

Bao Yi shook his head and said: "Mr. Lin, divorce is a misfortune for the family, and it is also the best way to clean up the family. I have made up my mind."

"Master Bao, this will offend the Xu family, think again." Li Guolou couldn't help worrying about the official career of the chief. Senior officials are all connected by branches and share weal and woe. , it made the Xu family lose face, and immediately added a political opponent in the court, and it was a political opponent who could not resolve the hatred.

"I can afford it, you don't want to persuade me anymore." Bao shook his hands together, not listening to the words from the heart of the two confidants.

Lin Qingxie softened and sighed.Li Guolou still said bluntly: "Master Bao, don't be in a hurry. After the matter is settled, we will see what the Xu family has to say? Now there is no room for maneuver in playing the cards. Before the child is raised, everything will be fine." Happened."

Driving people to a dead end will result in the destruction of both jade and stone. It is a common problem for many children of wealthy families to die young. This is not the behavior that "God Catch" should have.

Bao Tong felt a splitting headache when he heard it, sat down dejectedly, nodded helplessly and said: "Well, I see, let's see what the Xu family said, the big deal is divorce and division of property."

The difference between divorce and divorce left room for his wife, Xu Xiaoguzi. At least the divorced parties did not disclose each other's privacy.In addition, the wife can get a share of the family property when divorced, which is a good get-together and good break-up.If the woman is kicked out by the man for having an affair outside, the women of the big family will not be taken in by their natal family for years.In this society where men are superior to women, the status of women is still inferior.In the Qing Empire, chastity plaques were erected every year, which belonged to the image project of the country and advocated the spirit of chastity and dedication.

Li Guolou and Lin Qingxie looked at each other and sighed, they would rather expose a tile-roofed house than tear down a marriage. Divorce is a shameful thing, a stain on character that cannot be washed away for a lifetime.I don't know what's going on in Bao Tong's head, don't you want to be promoted?

"You two are serious. I have to take care of my own family affairs. Don't show me your face. I know the severity and I won't mess around. I only want that kid to die. Come back with me, Mister, let Captain Li take care of it here." Bao Tong cut to the point, not letting the two confidantes chatter like matchmakers.

Li Guolou looked up, frowning and said: "Master Bao, you go with Master Wu, this man is too greedy, he will even eat your share, I can't handle him."

"Well, if you don't tell me, I also know his virtues. I will go back to Beijing with Master Wu. Farming is busy in March. The common people look at the sky to eat, and the people depend on food. You must cherish the common people. If the work is done, the farmer’s notice will be posted as soon as possible. Don’t rush back to Beijing, eh;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; what else?

Li Guolou looked distressed, he didn't know farm work, but he wanted to stay in the dilapidated place, thinking: find someone to sit in charge, let him clean up the mess, and we can figure it out together.He doesn't want to be a capable minister who governs the local area. Wouldn't it be a shame to deal with mud legs.

Lin Qingxie said with a pleasant smile: "Master Bao, I carried all the silver boxes in the yard, and the warriors are just waiting to distribute the money?"

"Hahahaha!" Bao laughed loudly at the same time, looked at the sky outside the window, in the evening, the afterglow of the red sun sprinkled on the window sill, waved and said: "Yes, yes, yes! The warriors are so hungry, we are here Go to the front yard."

When walking down the stairs, Bao Tong stopped and said, "Captain Li, find me some rebels in the Zhou family compound, shoot them on the spot under the big locust tree in the courtyard, and avenge the officials Zhou. I feel sorry for Zhou Daguan and his family."

Li Guolou hesitated for a moment, and immediately shouted: "Take it! The next official will do it immediately." After speaking, Li Guolou quickly walked down the stairs and rushed to the outer courtyard. In this way, it is not worth pleading for those rebels, the chief will do as he pleases, and the murderers must have a single-minded consciousness.

Many deluded villagers in the place where the rebels were detained shouted their innocence, filled with endless grievances, and were being interrogated one by one.Some villagers released Da Jia cultivated on the spot, turned around and turned into thugs of the officers and soldiers, and stood aside to point out the rebels of the White Lotus Sect.Some people were locked up, they were not given food, they went hungry for a few meals, and they were escorted back to the capital tomorrow.

Li Guolou stepped into the courtyard and said fiercely: "Deputy Zhang listened to the order to find out all the traitors of the Zhou family who killed Zhou Jietong's family."

Zhang Zidong scratched his head and said, "Captain Li, please explain clearly, what are you talking about?"

Li Guolou twitched his lips, and said, "Deputy Zhang, those scoundrels from Zhou Papi's family, those who kill the master and seek glory, tie them all up for me!"

"Oh!" Although Zhang Zidong is tall and powerful, he is not stupid. Seeing Li Guolou's face and the revolver in Li Guolou's hand, he understood, and shouted: "Dongqing, go find it for me. , if there is one missing, if you dare to play with a scorpion, you can fill it in yourself."

"Zha! The villain will do it now." A young man with five years of accumulation and six skinny steps forward. The Bailian believers look down on his small body, and now the people in Balizhuang count him as the best.Holly swore to herself: He would take revenge endlessly, and severely punish those who usually looked down on him.

"Dongqing, don't avenge private revenge publicly, I still want to ask other people." Li Guolou spoke from behind, his sharp eyes piercing people's hearts.

"Zha!" Dongqing arrested people honestly and dutifully, and he identified the people, scolding Dongqing one by one, regretting why she didn't kill "Faxiao" Dongqing back then.

Seeing that more than ten people had been identified, Li Guolou's face became more and more ugly. This is hatred, and every villager who dared not look up was terrified.The hatred buried in the hearts of the villagers will wait until the next time the sky changes to seek revenge from Dongqing.

Li Guolou stepped forward and asked, "Dongqing, can you write and recognize numbers?"

"Master Li, the young one has studied in a private school and can write and recognize numbers. All the notices in the village are written by young ones." Dongqing knew that Li Guolou was a big official, and everyone here listened to this handsome young man.

"Well, Dongqing, you are very good. I will reward you with a house, and I will give you a share of the land. We will go to receive the reward later. From now on, you will be the Baozheng of Balizhuang." With this person in Balizhuang, you can sit back and relax.

"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Dongqing knelt down on the ground, "Boom, boom, boom!" Kowtow, regardless of whether there is a tumor on the forehead?Pain and joy, tears and snot flying everywhere.
