late Qing Dynasty arrest

?The Michelin western restaurant in the French Concession, Tarzan the Ape had dinner with his old lover Jenny. The blond Jenny came from the United States to help out his lover. The two drank wine and ate half-cooked beef with smiles on their faces. Foreigners understand the rules, a group of Tarzan admirers did not harass the two of them to have a candlelight dinner, but stood at the door of the restaurant, waiting for Tarzan to appear, they wanted to get Tarzan's autograph.

Jenny was quite surprised, there was going to be a boxing match soon, and her lover Tarzan was not in a hurry at all, and he was still in the mood to accompany her out for western food.

"Taishan, you are so sure, don't you worry about that yellow man?" Jenny was originally a reporter for the Global Times in the United States, and she liked to ask questions.

"Hmph, yellow people, what are you afraid of? They will only use their energy on women's bellies. Don't worry, my dear. It won't take three rounds to beat a dog with pigtails." Although it was a buffet, the orangutan Taishan's voice was still audible to the people at the neighboring table.

Tarzan the Ape couldn't read, so Jenny took a newspaper and read it to him: "According to reliable sources, Mike Lee already wanted to kneel down and surrender, and he didn't want to fight this boxing match, but was forced by the Qing emperor to come to the match , So now the popularity is hot, the rich and powerful Mike Lee dare not bet all his belongings like last time, and bet 5 taels of silver in his own name. Until now, the odds of boxing are still the highest The latest odds offered by various gambling stalls are 3 to 1. The people of the Qing Dynasty did not underestimate Mike Li, who is known as a fake foreign devil. Especially the people in Tianjin, bet their bets on the French For the legendary star Tarzan the ape, the betting money in other regions is temporarily unknown, but this boxing match has attracted the attention of the whole world. According to Jack the One-Eyed Jack, the owner of the Captain Iron Hook Casino, this boxing match organized by him, he has already To recover the cost, he doesn't care who wins and who loses, he just wants to show his level and style, and make this boxing match a classic in history, um... I won't read it later, it's all about the two of us , ha ha ha ha!"

The ape Tarzan smiled and said: "Dear Jenny, we will get married after this boxing match, please marry me." After speaking, the ape Tarzan took out the engagement ring that had been prepared in advance, and knelt down in front of Jenny , the waiter next to him also handed over a bouquet of red roses.

The touching scene made people stand up and applaud, and everyone in the hall said, "Marry him, marry him, marry him!"

Jenny was moved by Tarzan, she covered her mouth with tears and nodded slightly.

Tarzan the Ape was very excited. After putting on the engagement ring for Jenny, he ignored it and hugged Jenny affectionately. He hugged Jenny and had a romantic kiss in the restaurant, which caused a lot of exclamations. The camera spotlight in the reporter's hand The lights were flickering, and the reporters were very excited. There was a headline on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow.

"Mr. Tarzan, please express your opinion on Mike Lee." Eugene, the reporter of Pravda, was the most comprehensive in the crowd and shouted the loudest.

"Yellow people are vulnerable, Mike, you just wait to die." Tarzan the Ape roared loudly at several reporters, and then boarded the carriage with Jenny and left in a hurry.

Eugene, a reporter from Pravda, and Qutav, a photojournalist, hurried back to the agency to publish their articles. Eugene pushed the frame of his glasses and said, "Kutav, it's a bit suspicious. Tarzan the ape is like a show. Who taught that?" His, it's too fake!"

"Never mind him, if you have material to write about, you can do it if you don't. Tomorrow, we'll dig into the privacy of Mike's house. The sales of our Pravda will double." Qutav raised the camera in his hand, and if there are kiss photos, he can publish them. , the editor-in-chief couldn't stop laughing.

Eugene said suspiciously: "But I always feel that Tarzan's money is not in the right place. Where did he get so much money to buy a diamond ring and immigrate to the United States? He also said that he would let Jenny live a happy life, live in a garden villa, and raise Jenny for the rest of his life. Tarzan the Ape doesn't box anymore, how much money can he have for retirement, do you think he will be bought by Mike, and deliberately lose in the boxing match!"

Qutav stopped suddenly, scratched his head and scratched his ears and said, "Well... Eugene, what you said is very possible, Mike likes to play tricks behind the scenes, you go and find out tomorrow, Mike What the hell are you doing!"

"Well...it makes sense, it's time to move this dark game." Eugene was eccentric, rolling his eyes, and there were a lot of dirty thoughts in his mind.

Qu Tafu smiled and said: "Forget it, Eugene, when the iron pestle is ground into a needle, you will already become an old woman. If you don't have this diamond, don't take this porcelain job, let me do it!"

"Hmph, that's not necessarily the case. I also have a lot of opportunities." You Jin hoped that Li Guolou's house would not be peaceful, so he could fish in troubled waters.

Eugene and Qutav walked proudly in the night, conquered a small mountain, and were about to climb another peak. Low-level roles like servants in Li's house were no longer in their eyes. They wanted to make Li Guo Wearing a cuckold upstairs is what French friends do. Romantic love history is the lifelong pursuit of the French.

In the morning, Li Hongzhang listened to the interpreter read the content of Pravda in Sanjiangkou Governor’s Yamen. His face was gloomy and terrible. He couldn’t be happy. He went to fight with foreigners like a child. What annoyed him the most was that Li Guolou didn't know how to evade his business, and put all his business under the names of several wives. He was impeached by the censor for this matter. Who will punish Li Guolou's crimes? The young man's mind is wrong, and he doesn't know which is more serious. Like he never came out to do business by himself, wouldn't it be better to leave it to relatives and friends.

Li Hongzhang originally wanted to take Li Guolou to visit Russia, Prussia, France, Britain and other Western powers, but when he thought that Li Guolou's tail was up to the sky, he didn't want to take Li Guolou to visit. The comprehensive cooperation between the Qing Empire and the Prussian Empire is his credit. Li Guolou cannot be inserted in the middle. He has to do his best to negotiate with King William I of Prussia and Prime Minister Bismarck. Li Guolou should make money to be an official businessman. Lou is very ambitious, he wants to suppress Li Guolou's upward momentum, officialdom pays attention to family status, who is Li Guolou in the end, all factions are vying to be the first to win over, people who are right and left are unreliable, we must let Li Guolou express his attitude , Correct thinking.

Li Hongzhang learned from the interpreter what Li Guolou has done in the concession recently, and he is quite satisfied. It is right to stay at home, and there is no good end to collusion with foreigners. Qian, said: "Li Guolou turned a deaf ear to my orders, what do you say to deal with him!"

Xu Qian replied: "Master Fu Xiang, you can't just send a message. Now Li Guolou is using the holiday as an excuse. The reason lies with him. You should issue an order to let him come to Sanjiangkou to see you directly!"

"Well, it's reasonable. If the brat wants to put on airs for me, I'll kill him." Li Hongzhang was secretly annoyed. Li Guolou was so narrow-minded that he seized the financial power of Xinwutang and refused to let it go. He wanted to play tricks with him. , this time Li Guolou must be skinned.

"However, Li Guolou still uses the holiday as an excuse to procrastinate, and it will be difficult to handle. Mr. Fu Xiang, you should urgently urge him to ask him for 100 million silver and scare him, so that he will come right away. I beg you, if you don't know how to play, you will play him to death, and you will be shameless." After a while, Xu Qian came up with a good idea for Li Hongzhang, and he would be intimidated and fooled when dealing with rich people.

"Well... just write it like this." Li Hongzhang stroked his beard, nodded slightly and watched Xu Qian write the order, and he should have written in a more serious tone.

He wants to go abroad to visit the western powers. Although he has decided not to take Li Guolou abroad, he needs to pay attention to what to avoid when he goes to western countries. Li Guolou also needs to refer to the terms of the contract. Squeezing out the essence of Li Guolou's thoughts, and then changing them into his own, he has already made rules for this. Li Hongzhang knows why Li Guolou avoids him, but the world is like this, big fish eat small fish, As long as he is a scholar of the Yingwu Palace in the Qing Empire, Li Guolou, a fake Manchu and a real Han, will still walk with his crutches.

Liu Mingchuan rushed into the lobby, looking angry, holding back his anger and said: "Master Fu Xiang, I went to Xiaozhan Town to check the construction site. Those bastards have already arrived and the class has already started. Liu Jie didn't even notify me. If you want me to talk to him with official etiquette, grandma’s Xiong, the seventh-rank sesame official, dare to talk to me like this, if the tiger doesn’t show his power, treat me as a sick cat!"

Li Hongzhang was stunned, and said anxiously: "Liu Liumazi, you are not mistaken, didn't the students from the Xinwu Hall say that they will come after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the next year?"

Liu Mingchuan is about 40 years old, tall and burly, with a mustache, he was born as a poor peasant, and he was the sixth child. Because of the pimples on his face, he was called Liu Liumazi. Now this title is only used by old friends and officers. By calling him that, Li Hongzhang regarded him as his own brother.

Liu Mingchuan stomped his feet and said angrily: "Master Fu Xiang, you were deceived by fake foreign devils. He used your tiger skin to recruit students from Anhui. The establishment of 800 people is already full. Now let those new students live in straw huts." , I am collecting their bones, I am also surprised, how can the fake foreign devils understand the military training of foreigners, and he can train with his servants, what is going on here!"

Li Hongzhang was quite surprised. The new martial arts hall was still under construction, and the instructors of the military academy had not yet arrived. Li Guolou had no military resources in his hands. With Guolou serving, how could Xinwutang do its own thing and start teaching.

"Oh..." Li Hongzhang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Li Guolou was hiding in the British Concession and refused to come to see him. It turned out that he used shady tricks to build plank roads openly, secretly kept Chen Cang, and began to cultivate cronies.

Xu Qian saw Li Hongzhang questioning him, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Shengsan, do you see that those instructors are all converted from Li Guolou's servants, are there any guards among them!"

Liu Mingchuan roared loudly: "Master Xu, who am I? I can see the origin of those bastards as soon as I get the pulse. The only people who dare to disrespect me are the Goshhas under the fake foreign ghosts. Right, these bastards will be whipped, that mother's land, that big donkey and bear, I feel like kicking the fake foreign devils ass..."

When Li Hongzhang heard that Liu Mingchuan started scolding his mother in his hometown dialect, he laughed out loud and said with a smile: "Liu Mazi, you are not young anymore, be more cautious. Your future fame will depend on the new martial arts hall. Be a low-key person. Don't talk to Li Guo." The building is in a state of limbo, I will take care of everything for you, what a shame to be in a hurry!"

Liu Mingchuan was sulking, and sat down to drink tea swaggeringly. He didn't talk about official rules at all. This actually made Li Hongzhang like him. A rough man would never betray him. Like Li Guolou, he was a man who had both ways and schemes. , is not trusted by him,
