late Qing Dynasty arrest

In the morning, Li Guolou brought Battelle and Gao Yao Wuyun, followed by a group of 30 people, who looked like officers posing majestically, and marched majestically towards Fenglin House. Among the accompanying people was the mayor of Xiejiaying* * and several other officials also accompanied him.Sun Yue and Rong Yuan stepped forward to arrange the meeting with Apusa first.

Li Guolou belongs to the Ministry of Punishment, while the local official records belong to the Ministry of Officials. They are not subordinate to each other, and their responsibilities are also separated. One is in charge of public security and the other is in charge of civil affairs.However, when the Ministry of Criminal Justice handles major cases, local officials must cooperate. Otherwise, Li Guolou will add a few strokes to the official documents to discredit the local officials in Xiejiaying, and these local officials will not be able to afford it.So this time Li Guolou led the bandit suppression team back to Beijing, and these local officials greeted them with smiles in etiquette.

The Mayor of Xiejiaying and other officials accompanied them without any awareness of the danger. The group walked towards the gate of Maple Forest House talking and laughing. From the outside, this mansion does not look like a temple, but it still maintains its original style.

The plump Apusa led several disciples to greet him at the gate of the compound, all of them were dressed in blue robes and held whisks, but instead of the five-old crown on the head of Taoist priests, they wore caps worn by ordinary people.

After seeing the ceremony, a group of people walked towards "Dongzhen Hall". Apusa bowed and said, "Captain Li, please!"

Li Guolou said with a smile: "Master Apsa please first, Mayor Huang, let's go forward hand in hand."

Li Guolou was walking among the crowd, suddenly stopped, touched his face, his face was extremely ugly, and shouted: "Master Apusa, go slowly, I have an official document here, which is the ruling against Dongzhen Hall, Apusa Kneel down and obey orders." While talking, Battelle and Gao Yao Wuyun had already squeezed into the group of Xiantiandao disciples, Battelle pulled them away with his bare hands, and Gao Yao Wuyun directly pulled out his revolver and pointed it at Apsa.

The thirty officers and soldiers following behind Li Guolou all drew their short spears and shouted: "No one is allowed to move." The officers and soldiers in full armor surrounded several disciples of the Xiantian way who were welcoming guests, and the scene was a little chaotic. , Some people wanted to resist, "Boom!" sounded, and a Xiantian Taoist who wanted to resist was shot to the ground.

"Bah bah bah bah!" The officers and soldiers shot at the fleeing people unceremoniously. The scene was bloody and horrific. The wounded Xiantian Taoists screamed again and again. Stand where you are, not daring to move.

"Boom!" The firecracker jumped into the sky from Sun Yue's hands, and there was a sound of killing in the distance.Two hidden police officers and members of the militia team rushed to the maple house with long and short guns. There were actually three lovers of Li Guolou Xie Liya, Wu Peipei, and Bai Lian inside. They also wanted to have an addiction to killing enemies.

The crowd who were watching the excitement at the entrance of Fenglin House were scared and fled, leaving many unowned shoes on the street.

The mayor, seeing gun barrels all around, was taken aback, and said, "Captain Li, if you have something to say, why are you drawing the gun?"

"Get out! Donkey Ball, who dares to talk too much when I'm handling the case, I'll kill you!" Li Guolou suddenly changed his color, pulled out a revolver at random, and fired at a Xiantian Taoist who wanted to resist.

**Humbled without saying a word, quickly lowered his head, kept reserved and solemn, what does the Ministry of Criminal Justice care about him?He had long heard that Li Guolou was a murderer, and it was true.He shot and killed the unarmed Xiantian Taoist in front of him, now he just needs to protect himself and don't involve himself in this official matter.

Being in the officialdom, he knew for a long time that there is no excuse for committing a crime. Yue Fei was also killed on "unnecessary" charges. In the Qing Empire, there were no unjust, false or wrong cases that could be overturned.

Holding a whisk, Apusa remained calm, acting like an expert, with a loud voice: "Captain Li, you are too cruel, you dare to shoot us innocent people, who gave you the power."

Li Guolou ignored it, and threw away the rolled-up official document, which had the bright red seal of the Ministry of Criminal Justice on it, showed it to the people around him, and shouted: "Listen, everyone, the way of nature is completely devoid of conscience. Shameless, the evidence is conclusive. Now this official is ordered by the constitution to copy the Fenglin House "Dongzhen Hall" that has no Xiantian Dao, anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death."

Li Guolou looked at Apusa and sneered, so what about kung fu masters, in front of muskets, they can only be slaughtered.

Battelle kicked Apsa over and resorted to the tricks of the Mongols to bind cattle and sheep, and tied up the fat Apsa with a rope that he carried with him.

Li Guolou scolded: "Battelle, stop tying him up. Apsa is a master of kung fu, and your rope won't work. Cheng Kun handcuffs Apsa with shackles."

"Tie!" Cheng Kun stepped forward to tie up Apusa, handcuffed his hands and feet with wooden shackles and iron ties, and saw Apusa sitting cross-legged like an eminent monk, sneering from his nose.

Several main leaders of Xiantian Dao were arrested. Teams of policemen began to search in Fenglin House. The arrested Xiantian Dao believers were tied up one by one and knelt in the compound. More than 30 people were arrested in a short time. .

There were bursts of gunshots from the backyard, and the gunshots were not from officers and soldiers, and there was an explosion inside.In the lobby, Li Guolou frowned, turned his head and said, "Mayor Huang, are you guilty?"

The dumb woman was terrified, Suo Suo's trembling knees softened, knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "I am guilty of failing to check the permanent personnel here and letting the bandits hide here is a crime of dereliction of duty. Fortunately, Chief Li has insight into the conspiracy of Xiantian Dao, so that the safety of one party can be guaranteed, and the officials and the people of Xiejiaying are very grateful to Chief Li."

Li Guolou heard the gunshots in the backyard, and he gritted his teeth with hatred. Sure enough, the disciples of Xiantian Dao had the intention of treason, so they resisted the officers and soldiers and refused to be arrested without a fight.He didn't have time to chat with her, so he pointed to her nose and said, "I will give you a way out now, if you don't do it well, you will be an accomplice of the rebels."

** Lie down on the ground, not daring to look up, kowtowed and said: "But please give the order, Commander Li, I will definitely do it well."

Li Guolou looked at the other kneeling officials in the lobby, and said, "Mayor Huang, arrest all the people under your command who believe in the innate way. If you miss one, your whole family will fill it in." Don't make him go crazy, otherwise he would even dare to confiscate the grandma's house.

** Now that he has regained his energy, he stood up and shouted: "Please don't worry, Lieutenant, the next official will be impartial." After speaking, ** waved his four servants to stand up, let him arrest people, and knelt in the lobby The officials of the land were picked out by the servants of the police and three of them.The originally friendly colleagues turned against each other in an instant, slapped, punched and kicked, and an official who said one more sentence, "**** accepts bribes!" was beaten on the spot until his teeth fell to the ground.

Li Guolou didn't see this scene, he took Gao Yao Wuyun and Battelle to the backyard of the Buddhist hall, the gunshots there didn't stop, which meant that some people were still stubbornly resisting.

When they came to a corner in the backyard, more than a dozen members of the militia were lying around and shooting at the room inside. The two sides refused to give in, and there was still no sign of stopping.The lead bullets hit the masonry with a "boof!" sound, and the wood chips flew on the window sill.

Someone shouted, "Captain Li, Rong Yuan is injured, Zhang Chengsi is dead, there are four guns inside."

Li Guolou was worried, Zhang Chengsi was Wang Wu's younger brother, he had fought hand to hand with him many times, and he was a friend who practiced martial arts together.Unexpectedly, Zhang Chengsi died here before he made any contribution.Li Guolou's face changed suddenly, he kicked Sun Yue fiercely, and said angrily: "What are you eating, what did I tell you, why are you shooting at the rebels, how many people do you want to die! Use a grenade for me!" Kill the rebels."

Sun Yue still defended herself: "But the rebels inside said they had hostages, and I heard the women inside begging for mercy."

"Slap!" Li Guolou slapped Sun Yue's face twice, cursing, "Donkey ball, avenge the dead brother! Don't care about people you don't know, talk too much, I'll kill you!" While speaking, Li Guolou aimed his gun at Sun Yue, how can there be humaneness in the ruthless military law.

Now Sun Yue woke up like a dream, regardless of the pain, she puffed out her chest and belly, and shouted: "It's sir."

Leading by example, Sun Yue was the first to throw a grenade, the window was smashed long ago, a grenade fell from the sky, with a rumbling sound, a puff of smoke rose in the room, and two more grenades fell into the window.Riding on the thick smoke, more than a dozen militia members rushed into the room. Sun Yue was slapped bloody by Li Guolou, and was the first to rush into the room. The smell of gunpowder smoke made him cover his mouth with his right hand. The rebels still wanted to raise their spears, but Sun Yue shot it casually, "Boom!" The bullet shot into the head of the rebel, and then the militia members who rushed in burst into another burst of "Boom!" gunshots, and finally it was quiet inside. .

Li Guolou looked at Zhang Chengsi, who fell to the ground and died, and shouted: "Anyone who resists in the corner will be killed." After Li Guolou picked up the deceased Zhang Chengsi and walked to the hall, the red-eyed officers and soldiers shouted loudly. Every corner of the forest house.

The pain caused by war is not only physical, but also spiritual. Li Guolou remembered silently and shed painful tears.The official hat was not only stained with the blood of the enemy, but also the blood of friends, and Li Guolou's Zheng robe was soaked with bright red blood.

Xie Liya, Wu Peipei, and Bai Lian passed by Li Guolou, but Li Guolou didn't realize it, and still carried the dead Zhang Chengsi to the hall.

Xie Liya shouted: "Don't pay attention to him, let's continue searching, I haven't opened yet."

Wu Peipei, who followed closely behind, walked with her back bent and sighed: "We are the second team. The people in front have wiped out the rebels long ago. It would be nice to capture a prisoner for you."

Although the three of them had no chance to shoot and kill the enemy, they felt the tension and excitement of being on the scene. At the beginning, they even trembled nervously while walking.Twelve policemen and six servants protected each other, and as the second echelon, rushed into the backyard of Fenglin House.The characteristic of officers and soldiers fighting is that under Li Guolou's planning and layout, members of the militia team rushed to the front line.The officers and soldiers are the main force, fighting on the second line.

The Qing army has always been like this in wars. Most of the soldiers on the front line are poor Han children. The Manchus sit in the center as elite soldiers.As the elite among the elite soldiers, the vast majority of artillery children are Manchu children.The tactics that have formed a fixed pattern have their own reasons, and the value of human life is different. No matter which officer is in power, it will be an economic account.

The final outcome is that the Han soldiers are becoming more and more able to stand alone, while the Eight Banners can only eat off-the-shelf food, and follow the Han soldiers step by step.Of course, Li Guolou didn't want to let the arresters and yamen servants of the Ministry of Criminal Justice die in unnecessary chaos.Everyone has selfishness, and rewarding one favorably than another represents everything.Of course, those militia members also understand that if they want to live a good life, they have to fight with their lives. Different backgrounds make those militia members rush ahead.

Gao Yao Wuyun is a fast catcher, carrying a sharp weapon with her, and wearing a pair of iron rings on the fingers of her left hand, so that several members of the militia team next to her saw how she used lynching, and found out the secret of the innate way from a prisoner.Sure enough, as the "head" said, so many big men gathered together to hide their dirty things in the backyard of Fenglin House.

"Battelle, take the prisoners with you, let's go together." Gao Yao Wuyun turned his head and ordered.

Battelle escorted a prisoner and walked towards the backyard. Other people who were searching in the backyard heard that there was a secret room, and they all followed behind Gao Yao Wuyun. Even Xie Liya, Wu Peipei, and Bai Lian also followed among the crowd when they heard the noise. The procession of people passed through the corridors, pavilions, and arches.

The house of Fenglin House is a courtyard, and the small buildings are independent courtyards.The small garden is connected to another small garden. This layout is only built by rich families with many wives and concubines.

Wu Peipei and Bailian Shitong didn't make a sound, they followed behind Gao Yao Wuyun and walked deep into the courtyard.

And Xie Liya was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, amazed again and again, and sighed: "Where are we, I can't even tell the difference between the south, the south, and the north."

The more than 40 people nearby walked all the way, met militia members and police officers running around, and gathered the troops. After a while, the people who searched in the backyard gathered together, and there was another pavilion in front of them, and a rockery stood on the Behind the half-moon-shaped pool, there is a curved stone bridge above the pool. Several willows hang down on the bank.

But I heard Gao Yao Wuyun shout angrily: "Donkey ball, men with innate ways will enjoy it!" While talking, Gao Yao Wuyun has opened the iron gate in the rockery, looking at a stone staircase, there are many people below. A young woman imprisoned by Xiantian Taoists.

"Hahahaha!" A large group of elders laughed strangely and exchanged narrow eyes with each other, wanting to see how many beauties the Xiantian Taoists are hiding?Will Li Guolou reward such a beautiful little woman to the meritorious officials?
