late Qing Dynasty arrest

Bao Yi was silent for a moment, tapped his forehead, smiled and said: "Look what I said, just now Prince Gong ordered that the theft of the Ministry of Finance's treasury should be investigated, and I will leave it to you, don't let me down. "

Li Guolou was beaming with joy. The "Stolen Bank of the Household Bank" was of great significance to him. He had read the file countless times, found loopholes in the theft of the bank's bank, and had a mature solution to the case.

"Zha!" Li Guolou knelt down on one leg, saluted, and said, "Your subordinate, I will not disgrace my life, and I will definitely wipe out all the moths who stole the treasury."

"Hahahaha! Little Lizi, you are lucky. Even the criminal department's adult cases can fall into your hands for no reason. I believe that it is most suitable for you to handle the case of the theft of silver from the Ministry of Households. Remember! This time, let me Come to be a good catcher, don't rush up and catch the thief by yourself." Bao picked up the teacup together, as steady as a mountain, and looked at Li Guolou with a smile, a golden phoenix flying high, with his advice, and earn money together in the future.

"My lord Bao, the lower officials have already found out the loophole in the theft of the Ministry of Household Bank, and I have not touched it all the time, for fear of scaring the snake. In the Bank of the Ministry of Punishment;;;;;;" Li Guolou could not help revealing some clues to the case.

"Well, this clue is very important. I believe that the tricks are hidden in it. I think it's up to you to come forward first to straighten out the clues, and then I will make the final decision and solve the case." Bao Tongtong said, solving the case All the credit for it.

Li Guolou and Bao talked enthusiastically about the case together, and left Zhen Yuhuan in the cold.

"Hey, how long are you two going to chat? Hurry up and go to dinner. The meeting will be held on time in Qiuju Hall at six o'clock in the evening. Mr. Bao, do you want to go back after a good meal or now?" Zhen Yuhuan has the unique advantage of being a woman , without hesitation in speaking.

Bao Yi said with a sly smile: "President Zhen treats guests, of course I will eat here and go home well."

"Hey! What's so delicious about the food in the Prime Minister's Mansion? You officials are all flocking to it." Zhen Yuhuan said something wrong with his mouth, but his gestures were invitations.It doesn't cost a few copper coins to treat guests to a working dinner.

The three of them talked while walking, towards the dining hall, Li Guolou said with emotion: "I thought Prince Gong would treat guests? How could I ever want me to eat in the dining hall and have to work overtime."

Bao smacked his lips together and said, "Xiao Lizi, you haven't eaten here. What is a big pot dish? The aroma of that meal cannot be cooked in a restaurant. It has a special flavor. The big piece of braised pork has an aroma. It's so tangy, it melts in the mouth, and I have to eat four yuan every time. If it wasn't for the regulations that you can't buy it home, I would have packed it up and tasted it."

Li Guolou touched his nose, and it was true. He could already smell the aroma of the food before going to the dining hall, and said suspiciously, "Hey, it really smells so good! President Zhen, why is the food here so fragrant?"

Zhen Yuhuan shook his head and said: "You two are god catchers, and you don't understand the truth. The ingredients here look exactly the same as those sold outside, but they are actually special products, and they are all produced in specific places. The pork, It is made of fragrant pigs, a pig will not weigh more than [-] catties, and the breeders have to beat and drive away the little fragrant pigs with rattan whips every day, so the smell of meat can be smelled here."

Li Guolou nodded and looked at the spacious dining hall. Senior officials of high grade lined up for dinner. The other long line was the staff of the Prime Minister’s Office queuing up for dinner. Everyone held tickets in their hands, including the attendants and Zhen Yuhuan. The attendants are also queuing up, and seeing the beaming looks on everyone's faces, you know how delicious the food here is.

Li Guolou chuckled and said, "President Zhen, I want to eat double tonight."

"Hmph! You have to double everything!" Zhen Yuhuan's pun made Li Guolou blush, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at other people's faces.

"Hey! It's a pity that I am old and have lost this ability." Bao Tong heard the pun and felt a little lost. It is already very difficult to satisfy a babe Yesenia, and he needs tonic in winter to make the babe feel at ease. .

Zhen Yuhuan spat on Bao Yi in the dining hall lightly, letting the people around her see her unparalleled skills.

The three of them carried the wooden plate by themselves and found a seat by the window to sit down and eat. While eating, they talked and laughed. Many officials they knew or didn’t know walked by and greeted them. It was still early and it was only five o’clock. The three of them Chew slowly and eat very slowly.

Zhen Yuhuan took out the tablecloth, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said, "Xiaolou, the Prime Minister's Office will hold a meeting at night, and it will end at eleven o'clock at the latest. You must be prepared and don't fall asleep. I will give you a bottle of essential oil. Sprinkle a little and rub your eyes, and it will make you sleepless."

Li Guolou took Fengyoujing and said in surprise, "Why is it so late? You're still human!"

"Hey!" Zhen Yuhuan sighed: "To tell you the truth, those old men are nocturnal gods. They go to bed early and can't fall asleep. They like to hold meetings at night. Prince Gong can't help it. You will also like to hold meetings at night when you get old."

"Then what will they do in the morning?" Li Guolou couldn't help being curious.

"Sleeping in an official sedan chair, or in a carriage. That well-known Ji Xiaolan claimed to take Mrs. Ji to the morning court, and she had to come here once in the official sedan chair, otherwise she would have a nosebleed. Two, but it’s the same as Xiao Lizi’s double, I don’t believe his book! Put money on my face, I’ve been an official for so many years, and I haven’t seen any official dare to do such a thing in an official sedan chair? "Bao Yi talked about the anecdotes in the book "Notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage" written by Ji Xiaolan, a great talent in the Qing Dynasty.

In the world, only Ji Xiaolan who writes himself as a literati with superpowers has no words, and is still boasting about his "martial arts" at a very old age.

Li Guolou touched his nose, snorted and said: "The gentle scum among the Han people has destroyed many cultural treasures of our Han people. Don't mention this person. Talented hooligans are the most terrifying people."

Zhen Yuhuan said in a low voice: "It is good for foreigners to come. The literary prison is gone, and you can say anything in the concession."

The three of them have no words and dare to say anything. They are on the same front. Since the business of "Please Come In The Bank" is linked together, they have no scruples. They tell when they will go to Tianjin to open "Please Come In Bank". ", when will the 100 million silver be available?

(One tael of silver was worth about 100 yuan in the late Qing Dynasty, and [-] million silver was worth [-] million yuan. This also shows how rich the officials of the Qing Dynasty were, and the wealth of a country was held in the hands of a few people in power.) Bao Tong sighed Said: "I really don't have time to go to the British Concession, the candidates need to be resolved urgently, Xiao Lizi, in the end, should I let my son go, or Yessenia?"

Li Guolou remained silent, looked at Bao together, and after a while, said: "Master Bao, if Yesenia is really pregnant, let her go. Anyway, she won't let her handle the money, just let her go." Be happy, giving her a power of attorney is also a joy for nothing. But your son Bao Quanzhong, we can't hold it anymore, he will jump out to cause trouble at any time, and with your family affairs, he will come and break the pot. If you don't do him any favors, he might sell you out, so be careful."

Bao Yitong looked at Zhen Yuhuan slyly, his heart was extremely dirty, and sighed: "Little Li, I can't accept you, but I asked President Zhen to pay you to do business with you. But Yesenia enjoyed it and accepted it again Let her go, let President Zhen and Yelia wash her brains."

Zhen Yuhuan giggled coquettishly, regardless of who was next to her, thinking that she could make a big splash in the British Concession in Tianjin, accompanied by Wu Peipei, whom she had never seen before. Is it a secret?

Li Guolou glanced sideways and said, "President Zhen, don't worry, it's time to go home. I'm going to meet Prince Gong."

Zhen Yuhuan coquettishly said: "No, I won't go back, I will wait for you." While speaking, Zhen Yuhuan pulled Li Guolou to make love, regardless of the countless pairs of curious eyes nearby, watching them love each other.

Bao shuddered together, the pores of his body stood up, this man and woman were a perfect match in the world, he said anxiously: "You are so disgusting, I have to go." After speaking, Bao went to greet the officials he knew, and left Canteen.

Li Guolou glanced at the four beauties in their twenties who were two tables away from them, and said softly: "Anita, are you acting like this, to show your successor how happy you are? ?”

Zhen Yuhuan grabbed Li Guolou's strong thigh with his left hand, and gritted his silver teeth tightly: "If you know it, don't tell me, work hard for me! Come on!"

"Hi!" Li Guolou didn't even frown. This pain is nothing to him?How perverted Zhen Yuhuan is, he has suffered a lot.

There were whispers all around, and Li Guolou bowed to everyone, left the dining hall, and said with a smile: "President Zhen, this is the best work dinner I have ever had, and I will never forget the braised pork here in my life." Big meat. Oh! And apples!"

Li Guolou tossed an apple up and down, and suddenly disappeared, and the four beauties at the next table immediately gasped in amazement.

"Xiaolou, if you don't want to die, go away!" Zhen Yuhuan was extremely dissatisfied with Li Guolou's flirting, and urged them to leave side by side.

Zhen Yuhuan explained a few words to Li Guolou, then left, and went to a nearby public study to read alone.

Li Guolou walked towards Qiuju hall. The two guards saw Li Guolou approaching and opened the door of the hall with a mechanical movement.Li Guolou stooped in, wanting to say hello to the chief executive who was in the meeting, but he was taken aback for a moment. There were only Prince Gong Yixin and the two secretary offices he had seen in the afternoon, and the three of them were sitting on the edge of a long table. It is a negotiating table, with a groove in the middle, where pots of flowers and green plants are placed, which is also the way of talking learned by foreigners.

After seeing the ceremony, Yixin smiled and said, "Sit down, Li Guolou, I want to chat with you alone tonight, and I haven't dealt with young people for a long time. Seeing your youthful face, I think of your family's happiness." .”

Seeing Li Guolou standing awkwardly, Yixin smiled casually, "Don't be restrained, Li Guolou, sit down first, I want to hear your real thoughts as an international student. You have been in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for half a year. What do you think of the clean officialdom? Is it as clean as a mirror, clean and self-cleaning? Or are corrupt officials everywhere, and it has reached the point where reform is needed to transform the Qing Dynasty into the freedom, equality, and fraternity that Westerners preach?"

Li Guolou was frightened to death, what did he say?It’s not okay to lie, saying that you can learn “freedom”, “equality” and “fraternity” from Western capitalism, isn’t it a scam, and who would use him.

Li Guolou hesitated, hesitating to speak, but stopped: "Prince Gong, I have only been working for half a year, so I can't tell you how difficult it is for you to ask a slave such a profound question."

"Hey, Li Guolou, this king is asking you sincerely. The speaker is not guilty." Yixin smiled, but Li Guolou felt that a mountain was pressing on him, and the heavy topic made him at a loss as to what to do.

The two book clerks next to him also urged several times, making Li Guolou feel at ease and boldly confide in his heart.

"Li Guolou, even if you say that you are already off work, you are just chatting nonsense. We sit in the hall and don't know the voice of the people. You deal with the bottom every day, so we can learn more."

"Li Guolou, don't be afraid, we are equal now, we can face each other directly, if we say something wrong, we can refute it, or scold our mother, it doesn't matter."

Li Guolou knew in his heart that this was a big test of Prince Gong Yixin's thinking and character, if he made a mistake, he would never be able to recover, and he would never get promoted.Did not say!Then stay on the bottom floor and slowly grind it into old fritters. Prince Gong Yixin is getting impatient, how can he just sit still.
