late Qing Dynasty arrest

Li Guolou's first reaction when he heard the gunshots was to rush to the place where the gunshots were fired. He had no intention of being a team and wanted to be a lone ranger.

Behind him, Lu Haikong hurriedly said: "Little Li, stop for me, boys and girls form a team for me, block the road and let no one let go. In the third formation, the front team holds knives, the rear team raises guns, and block the alley for me."

The benefits of formation drills were evident. In a few seconds, the exit of the alley was blocked.This is a dead-end alley, and the shoulder pole alley faces north and south, and the rich people and officials live in it.This is a place with good law and order in the capital. Hooligans will not come here to collect protection fees. There are a small number of shops and a small number of people on the street, which means that this place is usually not lively.But now most of the crowd stood in front of a Yang Mansion compound, and the two fell down on the steps and died.

Someone shouted: "It's Mr. Zhang. Zhang Guozhi of the Ministry of War was shot and killed. Next to him is his entourage, Xiao Dezi."

Holding a knife in his left hand, Lu Haikong said angrily: "The official is handling the case. Everyone is standing against the wall. No one is allowed to move."

Ma Dequan shouted in a loud voice: "Everyone stand still, the officials will handle the case, and let you go back immediately."

The policemen maintained order, and soon more than 100 merchants and passers-by in the shops were forcibly oppressed by the police on the left and right sides of the street. The merchants and people living here stood on the left, and all the outsiders stood on the right.

Soon a group of yamen servants also came to help, knocking on the closed doors of the merchants, and bringing out all the people hiding inside.

The family of the deceased Zhang Guozhi also came out to explain the situation. Butler Zhang cried and said: "Our master likes to go out at this time, drink tea and listen to operas in the teahouse diagonally opposite. He did not expect the public security in the capital to be so bad."

Lu Haikong quickly put aside the relationship and said: "Steward Zhang, what are you talking about, Mr. Zhang was killed by someone looking for revenge, what does it have to do with the security of the capital.

Liu Chengle, the captain in charge of this area, asked, "Do you know who your master offended?"

Steward Zhang wept non-stop, and finally said, "How would I know?"

Liu Chengle shook his hand and gave Butler Zhang a big mouth, angrily said: "Grandma's bear, you wasted so much of my time."

Li Guolou saw Liu Chengle angrily scolding the common people, how could such a person take the words of the witnesses?Everyone kept their mouths shut and refused to speak out to help.

The policemen and yamen servants kept asking the crowd standing on the road, "Who saw the scene when the crime happened, and are there any witnesses? The government will reward you heavily."

After yelling for a long time, no one said they saw the scene of the crime. This is the gate of the mansion, and no one would hang out here.Who knows the truth, even if someone sees it, they don't want to tell it in public.

Li Guolou was anxious, and looked at more and more people who were taken out of the shop by the yamen guards and the police, and the women were taken to another open space, and they were not allowed to talk to others.As for the nearby deep house compound, the policemen dare not disturb it.

Li Guolou looked at the people in custody on the street. Up to now, two muskets have not been found. When will the investigation go on like this?This is not Yao's wrong place. Li Guolou did not cross the border to search those passers-by and merchants. He was just like other police officers, maintaining order and preventing the suspects who opened the black gun from escaping.

There must be a murderer and witnesses in the crowd, in which gutter should the murderer's flintlock be thrown, or in which shop should he hide it.As for the witnesses, they should be afraid that the murderer would commit another murder, so they dare not testify against the murderer on the spot.Zhang Guozhi, who served as the guard of the army of the deceased, must have been involved in a conspiracy and was murdered to silence him.

Li Guolou looked at Liu Chengle. This person is Wu Defu's deadly enemy. Is it necessary for him to help Liu Chengle?A dozen family members of the deceased were howling together, and Li Guolou couldn't bear it. Regardless of the disputes between the people above, human lives are at stake, and the murderer should be found.

Li Guolou rubbed his nose, walked to Liu Chengle, the chief officer in charge of this area, and said with a smile: "Captain Liu, if you continue to investigate until dark, you will not be able to find out who fired the black gun. Let me try to find out who fired the black gun." How about a murderer?"

Liu Chengle glanced at Li Guolou suspiciously, and asked, "Little Li, have you seen the murderer?"

Li Guolou shook his head and said, "Captain Liu, I'm with Lao Lu. He didn't see it, so how could I see it. I just saw that you were going to record so many people, and I didn't think it was necessary. Now you can find someone who killed someone. The suspect, if he really went to the Yamen, he would not be able to find him."

Liu Chengle pointed to a group of people nearby, and said: "There must be two murderers among them who fired black guns. They can't be found now, and someone will come out to testify when they arrive at the Yamen."

Seeing Liu Chengle like this, Li Guolou was extremely dissatisfied and unwilling to deal with this kind of person. His tone was not as kind as before, and he said aggressively: "Since Captain Liu doesn't want us to help, then let's go. Let me tell you, we No one saw the murderer, but they all had ears and brains."

Hearing Li Guolou's choking words, he was already scolding Liu Chengle for being a pig's brain, Lu Haikong's face turned pale and hurried over to try to persuade him, saying: "You two, in public, don't disgrace our criminal department, and speak up if you have something to say."

Liu Chengle laughed back angrily, turned to Li Guolou, and said, "Little Li, I'm a big bastard, that's how I talk. You don't give me face in front of so many brothers today, just wait and see."

Li Guolou retorted: "Is that so Captain Liu, didn't I see you behave like this in front of Mr. Bao? How come you are only submissive to your master and show your true nature when you go out?"

Liu Chengle was furious. He was tall and big, with a natural temper, otherwise he would have been promoted based on his qualifications.Hearing that Li Guolou was mocking him again, he was furious, and swung a fist at Li Guolou's door. This attack made all the criminals and colleagues who had been beaten by him have nosebleeds, and the bridge of their noses could not be fixed. The bone was broken by him.

With a distance of three feet face to face, he still shot at his colleagues. Li Guolou did not expect such an ending.A huge fist had reached the front door, Li Guolou instinctively dodged to the right, and his body leaned against Liu Chengle instead.

Li Guolou's behavior is different from the reaction of ordinary people. When ordinary people encounter this situation, they dodge backwards and escape from the opponent's attack range.But Li Guolou did the opposite, because he had already gained experience in fighting, and the closer he was to the opponent, the less powerful the opponent's blow could be. Even if he was hit in the face, it would not be too heavy.He wanted Liu Chengle to suffer a bit. Although it would take a lot of risk and he would be punched, but his attack was also very sharp. His left knee bounced up and pointed towards the opponent's vital point.

Liu Chengle was overjoyed at first, his fist had already hit the opponent, and no one could bear the iron fist, and then his crotch was pushed by Li Guolou's knee, a feeling he had never experienced in his life, and he screamed, covering his crotch with both hands, He fell to the ground and passed out.

Li Guolou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and shouted: "Captain Liu, in the future, I will find the right person. Next time I will not be so polite and let you be a eunuch in the next life."

The police officers and government servants nearby quickly separated Liu Chengle from Li Guolou. Although this was inside a shop, some people on the street saw that the policemen were fighting with their own people, and it was still at the scene of the crime. The impact was so bad.

Liu Chengle couldn't get up for a while, Lu Haikong said anxiously: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly find the adults, if this continues, this place will get out of control." He said again: "Little Li, what's wrong with you today? The household department is not decent, I haven’t mentioned you yet. It’s even more lawless here, beating up your own chief, you’re going to turn the world upside down, are you looking for a smoke?”

Li Guolou's handkerchief was covered in blood, and he was eating very ugly. The blood in his nose and mouth hadn't stopped yet, so he pretended to be a victim and said, "Old Lu, it was Captain Liu who did it first, and he beat me like this." You are still protecting the chief, so many brothers have seen it, Captain Liu did it first, and now he is lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, I am bleeding profusely."

Liu Chengle's subordinates were usually beaten by Liu Chengle, although the captain Liu Chengle fell to the ground, embarrassing their team.But now that the situation can no longer happen, everyone has given priority to consolation, and dare not challenge Li Guolou.

When it was chaotic, Wu Defu led a group of yamen servants. After understanding what happened, Wu Defu looked at Liu Chengle, who was slumped on the chair, and said, "Captain Liu, don't you usually say that you have beaten the invincible hand of the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Did you get planted in the bench alley? Stand up and fight again. Consider it self-defense, fight again."

Liu Chengle can't compete with the insidious Wu Defu. His territory is near the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the law and order are usually very good, but there is no luxuries, and the rules are very strict.Today, he lost a lot and fell in front of Yao Cuo's brigade in front of his subordinates.The young Li Guolou was not valued by him. He didn't expect that he was an insidious villain, and he crippled his martial arts as soon as he made a move. I don't know how long it will take to heal the injuries on his body?How can we fight now.

Liu Chengle said in a low voice: "Master Wu, it's my fault. I'll do a self-criticism when I go back. I shouldn't beat the family of the deceased. I'll apologize to Steward Zhang later."

Wu Defu waved his hand and said: "Captain Liu, you have nothing to do here, go back to the yamen to write a review, and go to the confinement room at night, and let me reflect on my words and deeds."

Liu Chengle lost face, and with the support of two subordinates, he left the Biandan Hutong, walking with a limp, which made all the yamen servants speechless, and dared not laugh out loud even if they wanted to.

Wu Defu glared at Li Guolou angrily, and said, "Xiao Lizi, don't think that I'll let you go if you get blood on a handkerchief, and go to the confinement room for me at night. It's not your turn here."

In public, the chief should act fairly, and Li Guolou received the same punishment as Liu Chengle.Li Guolou drooped his head in disgrace, bowing his head and admitting his mistake.

Li Guolou lowered his head, looked at the bluestone floor, and said, "Master Wu's lesson is that tonight I must reflect on myself and try to get out of the confinement room as soon as possible and start a new life. Please watch my next performance, sir."

Fighting is the best thing to stand up, the truth comes out from the fist.Here, strong fists can win support, and those colleagues who usually look down on Li Guolou no longer dare to make fun of him.Some people are already planning to worship Li Guolou as their eldest brother, and if they change to another elder brother, it will be good to have a good time in the Ministry of Punishment.The yamen servants and policemen next to him were muttering secretly that people should not be judged by their appearances. The murderous and terrifying captain Liu Chengle would be planted in this alley.

Wu Defu was dissatisfied with Li Guolou's words of apology, and said, "Xiao Lizi, when things come up one after another, you first make amends and find the murderer for me. Otherwise, you will be punished for multiple crimes and you will be imprisoned for three days."

Li Guolou rubbed his nose and said aggrievedly: "Master Wu, my nose was broken by Captain Liu. The chance of solving the case will drop by [-]%. If you can't find the murderer, don't blame me."

Wu Defu said angrily: "I'll take care of your eggs, find me the bastard who fired the black gun, or you won't eat at night with another one."

Li Guolou resented that Liu Chengle didn't have a good heart. Originally, he wanted to help Liu Lecheng, but now his dog's nose was broken by Liu Chengle. I wonder if he can still smell the person who fired the black gun?Thinking of this, Li Guolou regretted why he didn't dodge back just now?Now that it has been delayed for so long, the smell of gunpowder on the person who opened the black gun is probably even weaker, and his extraordinary talent is probably useless.
