late Qing Dynasty arrest

In the evening, Li Guolou and Bao had a secret talk in the room of the Taylor Hotel, and they made an impromptu deal.In order to meet the minimum requirement of foreigners to "severely handle the culprit of the murder", Li Guolou bought seven death-row inmates from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and impersonated them as the culprit of the Tianjin teaching case.These seven death-row criminals were all murderers of a two-village fight in the outskirts of Tianjin. The Wu surnamed family killed six villagers surnamed Wang, and they were arrested and brought to justice. .Now Bao Yitong and Li Guolou worked together to tamper with the confessions and change the charges of the seven death row prisoners.

Li Guolou was not happy with the success of the negotiation, and sighed: "Master Bao, the family of the deceased and their patriarch must settle the matter. If someone exposes this scandal, we will be finished together. I don't worry about other people doing this. , Master Bao, please hand over the aftermath to Ai Hai. Don’t rub salt on Da Qing’s wounds, Da Qing needs to keep a low profile, as long as I earn tens of millions of taels of silver. Humph!”

Bao Yitong glanced at Li Guolou who was walking back and forth in the room, feeling sad, and asked, "Guolou, does Master Zhongtang know what you're doing?"

Li Guolou squinted and said: "Lord Bao, I have only been away from the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a few days, and I still understand the rules of the subordinates. Who can get the benefits of digging out the boss?"

Bao Tong sighed: "Guolou, I'm just not worth it for you. As a translator, do you deserve to do such a shameful thing?"

Li Guolou sat down, and said with a casual smile: "Master Bao, you are mistaken. Master Zhongtang favors me. As long as this case does not involve swords and guns, and Master Zhongtang is still in the right place, I will be promoted again." It's gone. Things are not as simple as you think, when you return to the capital, the court will be turned upside down again, just wait and see a good show."

"Hey! Conspirator. Master Li, your promotion speed is like the rocket of the Shenji Camp, and you are going up. My brother has been an official for more than ten years. I haven't seen anyone who can climb as fast as you. Be careful!" The faster you go, the worse you will fall." Bao Yitong lamented the rapid changes in the court structure, and the wise people saw the mystery, everything changed because of Li Guolou's rapid rise.

"The country is ruined and the family is destroyed, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the wind and rain are blowing. How can you do it without ideals? You have to do what you can. Like those mobs in Tianjin, they only want to be national righteous men, thinking that they have done an indomitable feat, but in the end But let the country fall into the abyss again. This kind of people who have no overall view, we are everywhere in the Qing Dynasty. How can I waste my time and waste my time. The emperor and the empress dowagers of the two palaces regard me as a confidant, how can I live up to the emperor? En. Just let those of the Qing school do it. I’m still in the Ministry of Punishment. I’m more cunning and cunning than criminals. Mr. Bao, you’re telling the truth, how many people can match the skills of fake foreign devils ?”

Bao Yi couldn't help but smiled slightly and said: "You are first-rate in flattering skills. I have never seen anyone with a thicker skin than you. Now I don't need to mention the empress dowager. I don't have anything to ask for. Lou, find a fat job for my son, preferably a job dealing with silver."

Now that Bao Quanzhong has regained his original nature, he spends all day playing and playing in the building. This kind of person is much worse than the young minister Zhu Danyu. Li Guolou would rather use the educated young minister Zhu Danyu than take over Bao Quanzhong. The romantic and suave son-in-law.But Bao Yi asked him, and believed that only he could bring Bao Quanzhong, who spends money like dirt, to the right path.

Li Guolou stared at the different colors of the oil lamp flames, and said, "Master Bao, actually, it would be nice for Quanzhong to be a person like Yuan Mei. He will be happy all his life, have countless confidante, and make money for him. As long as Mr. Bao is not afraid of losing face and let Quanzhong come forward to organize a high-level singer team, the family business will not be ruined by him, but the reputation will be bad. Mr. Bao will tell you something intimate, let Quanzhong do other things , no matter how much money you earn, you will be ruined by him, it's a waste of work."

Of course Bao Yi knows what his son Bao Quanzhong likes to do.Doing a hobby as a career can make a person motivated.He had found a job for his son, but Bao Quanzhong didn't live up to it. He refused to live a nine-to-five life.

"But my son doesn't have Yuan Mei's talent. If you lead a high-end theater troupe, someone must write a good book. Otherwise, which princes and nobles will come to invite you to listen to the opera?" Bao Tong was moved by Li Guolou, as long as his son is not defeated , If he doesn't sell the antiques at home, he has nothing else to ask for.

"Hey, let me tell you the truth, the two diva ladies in my family are already jumping up and down with their busy work. It costs money to listen to the opera, but running a troupe can make money. " Li Guolou said it so directly that he had already told Bao Yitong that if someone in his family had an affair, he would be "cleaning out of sight!"

Bao Yiyi looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's unfortunate for the family! If Quanxin can achieve what he wants and concentrate on doing one thing well, and he can live a good life after I die, let him try it. Guolou, go to the side door That's all, if I let him die early, I will ask you to settle the score."

Li Guolou was extremely dissatisfied and said: "Master Bao, it's not like running a brothel, it's so serious. If you can do what you can, I'm fine now, I don't have to worry about the two pregnant ones. As for the flowers blooming in the future Go outside the wall, take a sum of money and run away, that’s for the future, why think so much.”

Bao Tong said with a chuckle: "Okay! Don't think about him, future generations will have their own blessings, so it's useless to think so much. I'll go back tomorrow, so I can take care of myself."

Bao bid farewell to Li Guolou together, and a scandal was solved together with housework.Li Guolou finally led Bao Quanzhong to the side door.The son is the flesh and blood of his heart, no matter how unsatisfactory he is, he still hopes to have a good future. Although the "theater troupe" is lowly, it is always a profitable business. If his son Bao Quanzhong's long-cherished wish can be fulfilled and he can live a life of elegance and style, he has also fulfilled his responsibility as a father.

Li Guolou joined hands with Yelia, who was patiently waiting for him, and got into the carriage with heavy thoughts. The whole family went back to their home in the British Concession. There was Wu Peipei's bungalow, No. 15 Gordon Street. Now Li Guolou's family members In Tianjin, I always live at NO.15 on Gordon Avenue.The British believed that Gordon was the hero who saved the Qing Dynasty, and specially named a street in the British Concession "Gordon Street".

Gordon was a British military academy when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded the capital, and later joined the foreign gun team "Ever Victory Army" and made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty in attacking the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom.Gordon, the infamous British general in history, actually has another side that is unknown.Gordon's army was just and strict. He strictly enforced military discipline, established a rigid drill system, and prohibited soldiers from looting, and replaced them with generous military salaries and bonuses.Although Gordon was strict, he was reasonable and set an example. He would never force soldiers to do what he could not do.To boost morale, Gordon marched at the head of the ranks and carried no weapons except a cane.Troops were often ambushed while marching, and Gordon was safe and sound every time, and was soon revered as a god by his subordinates.When attacking Changshu, Gordon commanded properly and won a big victory.Li Hongzhang admired him very much, and presented Gordon to the imperial court as the commander-in-chief of Gordon's guards. medal.

When Gordon was about to return home, Li Hongzhang rewarded Gordon with 1 taels of silver, but Gordon refused to accept it. He said parting words: "The Chinese people are hardworking and easy to use. If you can coach, you can turn the weak into strong." He also said: "The Chinese navy is good for defense. , the system of ship guns, big is not as good as small." When he left the Qing Dynasty and returned to England, he only took the solid gold medal and the yellow mandarin jacket with him.Gordon returned to England and immediately melted down the solid gold medal and donated it to charity, keeping only the yellow jacket.Foreign media called him "Chinese Gordon".

In front of the iron fence of No. 15 Gordon Avenue, an oil lamp was hung at the door. Li Guolou helped Yelia get off the carriage, handed the British coachman a French silver coin, and said, "Roger, don't look for it anymore." .”

The British coachman took off his top hat like a gentleman, and asked politely: "Mr. Mike, do you want to hire a car tomorrow?"

Li Guolou smiled and said, "Okay Roger, come pick me up at 08:30 tomorrow morning." After speaking, Li Guolou walked into the garden house with Yelia on his arm. In the brightly lit lobby on the ground floor, Xie Liya and Mayuko The three of them, Chu Xiangyu and Chu Xiangyu, haven't slept yet, and are waiting for them to come back.

A large sandbag had been hung on the left side of the hall, and even the wooden floor had been resurfaced.Li Guolou was so angry that he took off his clothes casually, and began to hit the big sandbag.He didn't even wrap it in gauze, and punched hard directly. "Boom, boom, boom!" The dull voice echoed in the hall.

Endure inhuman humiliation, suffer from the anger of foreigners, and maintain the demeanor of a diplomat.Kong has great ambitions, boasting that Zhuge Kongming has the ability to fight against the Confucians with his tongue, and he was defeated in Tianjin.

Yelia winked at Chu Xiangyu. Chu Xiangyu is the only purebred Daqing here. She came forward to persuade Li Guolou. Who knows if his grievances will explode?

Chu Xiangyu stood up and picked up a roll of gauze, handed it to Li Guolou, and said, "Brother Xiaolou, if you want to win, you have to strengthen yourself, don't hurt your hands."

Li Guolou took the gauze, wrapped it in his palm, and continued to show his anger.One-eyed Jack, the owner of the Captain Iron Hook Casino, came to ask him if the August boxing match would be cancelled?And he replied bluntly: "As usual, as long as I don't die, I will definitely come to the French Concession to have a boxing showdown with Tarzan of the century."

Li Guolou was not afraid of failure, nor was he afraid of losing face. He couldn't face the French devils head-on on the battlefield, so he saw the difference in the boxing ring.Li Guolou, who was sweating profusely after exercising for more than an hour, stopped.

Yelia stroked her big belly and asked, "Xiaolou, are you dissatisfied with the three of us?"

Li Guolou took the towel from Mayuko, wiped the sweat from his head, and said casually: "Don't think about it, how can I be dissatisfied with you. As long as you don't bring Yangmaozi to No. 15 Gordon Street, If you don’t make me look bad, I can be an upright person in the British Concession.”

"Hmm..." Yelia, Shelia, and Mayuko surrounded Li Guolou, checking his expression. "Then when will you go back to the governor's office?" Chu Xiangyu raised her eyes, and looked at Li Guolou with vivid eyes. It seemed to her that she had been wronged a lot if she didn't go back to her hometown in Hefei, Anhui.

"Hey, I have been tossing back and forth for at least a month or two. During this time, I have been wandering around Tianjin." Li Guolou had already made up his mind, planning to take advantage of this time to choose the address of "Xinwutang".

"Oh... that's great! Go take a shower!" Chu Xiangyu took the lead in clapping her hands, hugging Li Guolou and kissing her.Looking at the shirtless man, I couldn't hold back for a long time.

"Hey!" Li Guolou smiled lewdly, and picked up Xie Liya, with Chu Xiangyu by his side. The two beauties are delicious, and they haven't eaten foreign meat for a long time.

Hearing Xie Liya's gasping under him, Li Guolou said loudly: "I will definitely defeat the Seven-Nation Alliance, Xie Liya, you are the first."

"Well... Xiaolou, I surrender!" Xie Liya knew how to please Li Guolou, hugging Li Guolou's strong body tightly, telling lies, twisting her delicate body to welcome him off nonstop.The curtains are full of spring, and life must be full of joy even when there is loss. At this moment, Li Guolou just wants to defeat the "British devils" and "French devils" in bed, and let the "Japanese devils" go for the time being.
