late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 280 The Supreme Realm of Flattery

In the early morning, Bao led more than 300 people back to the capital and escorted more than 100 rebels.Li Guolou led a "working group" of less than 100 people to stay in Balizhuang. Li Guolou rode a horse to see off the chief, and sent him ten miles away.

Li Guolou and Lin Qingxie walked side by side, they were at the front, walking too fast, far away from the main force.Talking in a low voice along the way, whispering non-stop.

Lin Qingxie turned around and looked at the crowd behind him. He stopped speaking high-sounding official language, changed the subject, and said, "Xiao Lizi, I have another important task this time, and I leave the fat to you. You should know how to behave."

Li Guolou waved his horsewhip and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, just ask which house you like. I want the house near the west of the village. Don't poach me."

"Oh!" Lin Qingxie pondered for a moment, filtered through more than a dozen decent houses in Bali Village in his mind, and asked suspiciously: "Xiao Lizi, why do you want the house in the west of the village? It belongs to the most unworthy house in Bali Village The place, the good houses are all in the south of the village."

"Oh, Mr. Lin, you don't understand. Since you use this place as a villa and go out of the city to relax, you can see Yunmeng Mountain when you open the window. The mountain is surrounded by mist, and it's so beautiful to roam in the fairyland. You can also enter the mountain to hunt." The house owned by Li Guolou did not rank in the top ten in Balizhuang, and it was a tile-roofed house of a rich peasant.

"Oh, little Li, you're not greedy." Lin Qingxie, who originally wanted to ask for two houses, didn't dare to do anything wrong. When he first started working together, he still wanted to leave room for the other party, and said, "I want the house in the south of the village. In the big house with turrets, let Xiao Yanzi live first, I will come to see her in a few days."

"Mr. Lin, what kind of vision do you have! That's the village office." Li Guolou rolled his eyes. He had never seen such a stupid person. He could do calculations, but he had never seen the world.

"Hey hey hey!" Lin Qingxie laughed three times, a little embarrassed, sitting in the hall and forgetting that there is a village office in Balizhuang.With fascination in her eyes, she said: "Then let Xiao Yanzi choose, she can live in whichever house she likes."

Li Guolou glanced and said: "I didn't see it, but Mr. Lin is a passionate son, and he is still in the room. He is much better than Lord Wu."

Lin Qingxie on the horse proudly raised her chest, and said: "A real man will do what he says. When I was riding on Little Yanzi, I promised her that I would never give up. You have to wait for me to come before you leave, otherwise I will give up on you." worried."

Li Guolou laughed happily, and said with a bright smile: "Mr. Lin, don't worry. I am their boss now. With me here, Miss Yanzi will be well taken care of. When you come, I will take care of everything in the future." Never mind, don't come to my house to sue."

"Being seen through by the detective again, I'm tired of being a human being." Lin Qingxie grinned in embarrassment, the days of hardships have passed, and fame and fortune have come, and he is going to find out the Sutra of Flowers.He is not too late, he is three years younger than Bao Tong, and he still has a lot of ambition to use.

Li Guolou said in a low voice: "Mr. Lin, let that family member let go if he can be lenient. Now that he is the first bird, have you thought about the future? The people below don't speak now, and when Mr. Bao leaves later, if you still don't In the Ministry of Justice, the ending of life is the same as that one."

Lin Qingxie's heart trembled, and he glanced at Li Guolou, he was a ruthless man, he would kill without blinking an eye, and threatening words came out of him.Hesitatingly said: "Xiao Lizi, this is my nomination certificate. I will let go of those who can be let go. What do you want me to do with the job assigned by the people above? Mr. Bao changed his mind about the ransacking of the house and asked Yao to make a mistake. He should be able to do tricks when he goes out, so it won't be too ugly."

"Oh!" Li Guolou felt relieved, after all, Bao Yitong didn't let go of Wu Defu's family.On the scene, Yao Cuo will definitely do a good job, and the love between the rivers and lakes and the brotherhood will be occupied by Yao Cuo who is "righteous to the sky".It seems that yesterday he deliberately said, "Children from big families are difficult to raise." Bao listened to it together, accumulating virtue for future generations, and no longer making it difficult for Wu Defu's children.

"Mr. Lin, if you can show kindness outside the law, I am a person who knows how to repay you. I will advance and retreat hand in hand." Li Guolou bribed Lin Qingxie, and it would be best if he could leave some wealth to Wu Defu's widow, so as to save a bunch of widows from running to his house to cry for poverty , Hit the autumn wind.

"Hey!" Lin Qingxie was mixed with sorrow and joy, and he was in a complicated mood. It was not a good thing to step on someone else's corpse to rise to power.

"Oh, I almost forgot the business, little Li, I still understand that the number of acres of land in Balizhuang is tricky. The apportionment ratio, give me an extra [-] acres of land, and I will keep silent." Lin Qingxie looked at Li with a smile The national building was slashed down fiercely.

"Mr. Lin, on the half of the hillside, you always want me to leave room. You are not the only one who wants to eat me, and there are backers. You should understand this." Li Guolou finally came up with a two It is the idea of ​​Quanmei to give Lin Qingxie [-] acres of hillside land so that Xiao Yanzi can have a place to chop firewood every day.

Lin Qingxie, who was not well-versed in the world, didn't understand the meaning of the words. He nodded and said, "Well, I accept this compromise plan. 150 acres of high-quality fertile land and [-] acres of hillside land will be under the name of Xiao Yanzi. From now on, little Yanzi will have something to depend on."

"Well, Mr. Lin is a master of the game. I admire him so much, I'm willing to bow down. Hahahaha!" Li Guolou clasped his hands with a horsewhip in his hand, and there will be a farewell in the end.There are no tigers and monkeys to dominate the mountains, and his good days are coming.

Bao Yi poked his head out of the carriage and said with a smile, "I take Captain Li's heart, hurry back."

"Master Bao, you saved the villagers of Balizhuang. The villagers are grateful to you. I still have to drink a glass of thin wine." Li Guolou waved his hand, and two female villagers of Balizhuang came up with trays, followed by dozens of people. The villagers of Balizhuang who followed all the way knelt on the ground and howled.

"Bao Qingtian, you saved us, you have done us a favor of rebuilding, and you have nothing to repay. Bao Qingtian, you are like our parents. The villagers in Balizhuang are grateful and decided to give you the old Gaisheng Temple. Please leave your clothes , let us worship for eternity." Dongqing knelt on the ground and boldly confessed, with tears hanging on her face, which she did not wipe away.

"Hey, it's rare for you to be so brave and loyal. Let me feel ashamed and unbearable." Bao Tong glanced at Li Guolou, and the highest level of flattery was actually used.

The building of the "Shengci Temple" is the greatest compliment the common people give to local officials. The action planned by Li Guolou is to praise Bao Yitong and push him to the highest level of the Qing Empire's incorruptibility and love for the people.Let Bao Yitong couldn't help but sigh Li Guolou's boldness and carefulness, which is different from ordinary people's feat.Let other people see it, there is no deceit, hundreds of pairs of eyes watching, the group of people kneeling are all villagers of Balizhuang.

Li Guolou bowed and bowed, and said: "Master Bao, this is the heart of the people of Balizhuang, you must not chill the hearts of the people in the world."

"Master Bao, please agree to our request." The kneeling villagers on the avenue let out a mountain roar and a tsunami cry.

Three times of wishing, three times of evasion, the touching scene made everyone shed sincere tears.

After several refusals, Bao Yi solemnly took out an inkstone, brush and ink, and a set of old official uniforms from the carriage, and sighed: "I don't have anything else, so I just leave these things in Balizhuang."

This is a political achievement, allowing people in the court to see the irrefutable popular support, Bao Yi secretly laments that Li Guolou has no teacher, and no one can match his ability to flatter horses.The temple of the Ministry of Justice is too small to accommodate this great god. This son is definitely not a thing in the pond, and he will definitely soar into the sky.

A glass of sake chatted to express one's heart, and words from the officialdom drifted past the ear, and the brigade of four to five hundred people marched towards the capital beating the victory drum.

Bao sat alone in the carriage together, thinking about what happened just now, and couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing, good things came one after another, a solid foundation for his career was laid, and entering the cabinet was within reach.An old saying: misfortune and good fortune come together, and it is most appropriate to put it on him.Bao Tong took out a letter, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed a sinister smile on his face. Wu Defuli knew the White Lotus Sect, and he held the evidence of rebellion in his hands.

Li Guolou bowed to bid farewell to the officer, his body remained motionless, he silently read two hundred and five in his heart, his patience was astonishingly good, he just stood up straight and looked at the billowing world of mortals.As soon as he pressed the saddle with one hand, he jumped onto the bay red horse, raised his hand and said, "Boys, let's go!"

"Heroine!" Gao Yao and Wu Yun immediately corrected Li Guolou's slip of the tongue, and a dozen war horses raised their hooves and headed towards Balizhuang, leaving the villagers of Balizhuang far behind.

"Boss, I'm a landlord and rich man!" Gao Yao Wuyun whipped his whip excitedly, his arrogance was spreading, and the road was full of dust with more than a dozen horses chasing after each other.

The weather in the north was dry and the wind was blowing. Li Guolou pulled up the red silk scarf around his neck to cover the dust. Others also covered their faces with flower scarves.

The ten-mile road arrived in a blink of an eye. The south gate that had been burned by artillery fire, the surrounding garbage had been cleaned up, and the villagers and militia members were repairing the dilapidated stockade.A village must have a safe shelter if it wants to maintain long-term stability. The world has been in chaos for a long time.

The first task that Li Guolou presided over was to rebuild the gate of the village. The people who carried the soil were carrying a load of black soil onto the earth wall. "Hey, hey, hey!" He repaired the damaged earthen wall.

Ramming earth is a labor-intensive job, but also a job with technical content. The soil of the earth wall must be sticky, and a special kind of soil must be used.It is also necessary to pour the mud made of plants into the black soil with a certain proportion, so that the black soil can be quickly bonded into an earth wall.In the past, eggs and animal glue were added to grout to bind black soil. Since the technology of foreign construction was introduced into the Qing Empire, these extravagant and wasteful items were no longer used. A certain proportion of cement was added to the grout, and the earth wall built was extremely strong. .

"Head, is the earth wall covered with bricks?" Gao Yao Wuyun climbed up the earth wall and looked at Li Guolou who stood proudly in the wind.

"Facade work must be done. The earthen walls on both sides of the north and south gates must be covered with blue bricks. This money cannot be saved." Li Guolou warned that there is his villa here, how can it be as dilapidated as a rural village.

"Boss, you are too wasteful, how nice it is to give me this little money to decorate the house." Gao Yao Wuyun expressed the feelings of his subordinates, and they all said behind their backs that Li Guolou's extravagance is like Qin Shihuang, abusing the people's fat and people's anointing.

"What do you know? Construction requires facade work. Otherwise, whoever will come here to settle down, just look at it. Next year, the population lost here will be filled in. In two years, here will be a tourist attraction. Watch the Great Wall, climb the beacon tower, The distant smoke rises. The princes hunt in Rehe, and the common people go to Yunmeng Mountain to hunt pheasants." Li Guolou pointed out Jiangshan, boasting like seeing the beautiful scenery of Yunmeng Mountain.

"Are there so many pheasants?" Gao Yao and Wu Yun couldn't believe it, and just a few shots scared all the pheasants in Yunmeng Mountain.

Li Guolou glanced at him and said: "Gao Yao, you are a Mongolian, how can you compare your axis strength with the nine-headed bird from Hubei. Isn't it pheasant to raise some chickens on the mountain and let them grow freely in the wild? This is called returning to nature. Do you know Darwin’s theory of evolution? Chickens raised at home are evolved from pheasants.”

"Boss, wouldn't it be better to raise some goats?" Ai Hai approached and asked.

"Hey! You guys, I don't feel bad about selling my father's land. How much does a goat cost? People in the capital go out for a trip and spend the price of a goat. Will they come?"

"Captain Li, you are very thoughtful. Even the price of the chicken is clear." Ai Haizi frowned, hiding words in his words.

"Fuck you!" Li Guolou flew up and kicked Ai Hai off the earth wall. Here he is the Emperor of Earth, and anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy.
