Facing Li Xu's hateful eyes that could kill people, Fatty Lu was as peaceful as if he had entered Bada Hutong with a bag of silver. He just turned around with a smile on his face and helped Lin Tianqing off the carriage, and asked Xiao Erlang and others to propose to give it to him. Nan Huairen's gift, and then walked side by side with Lin Tianqing in front of the church gate, greeted Li Xu affectionately: "Mr. Li, what a coincidence, why are you here? Oh, I understand, it must be done again Did you feel sorry for your conscience? So you came here to ask the priest to confess?"

"Fart, who would do something that is unconscionable?" Li Xu, who had always thought that Fatty Lu was very unpleasant, was furious, his eyes were red, and he subconsciously pressed the handle of the knife and was about to draw it out--Li Xu really made Fatty Lu I hate him to the core. He was originally Xiao Mazi's personal bodyguard, but because of Fatty Lu's nonsense, he has now become a watchdog at the gate, braving the wind and snow. What good can Li Xu do to Fatty Lu? impression?

It's a pity that Li Xu touched the knife fast, and Fang Shiyu's shot was even faster. Almost as soon as his hand touched the handle of the knife, Fang Shiyu's fat hand was already on his wrist, smiling foolishly. He asked, "What do you want to do to my elder brother? If you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end."

While saying that, Fang Shiyu still squeezed it so hard, Li Xu felt his wrist was clamped by iron clamps, and even the bones of the wrist creaked, and the pain caused tears and snot to spurt together, screaming like a pig, " Ouch, it hurts me to death!"

"What are you doing? What do you want to do?" The companions next to Li Xu were startled and angry, and they drew their swords in surprise.Here the Liu family brothers, Xiao Erlang and the others did not hesitate, or drew their knives or sticks, and were ready to protect Fatty Lu at any time.Fortunately, Fatty Lu yelled in time: "What are you doing? Stop it! Shiyu, you also let go of Mr. Li, I'm just joking with him."

Fang Shiyu got his parents' orders to listen to Fatty Lu, so he naturally stopped when he heard that, and the Liu brothers and Xiao Erlang also backed away cautiously.Li Xu didn't dare to make trouble here, so he had to wave his hand to dismiss his companions, and when he took a sneak peek at his left wrist, Li Xu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets—only after being pinched by Fang Shiyu, his wrist unexpectedly A blue and black five-fingerprint appeared!At this time, Lin Tianqing also came up and asked curiously: "Master Lu, what is going on?"

"It's okay, this Mr. Li knows me, it's just a joke." Fatty Lu laughed and laughed, then turned to Li Xu and asked, "Mr. Li, let's stop joking. Why are you here? Do you also believe in foreign religions?" ?”

Li Xu didn't bother to pay attention to Fatty Lu at first, but when he saw Fang Shiyu still staring at him, Li Xu could only say angrily, "Who believes in foreign religions? My Mr. Long came here to visit, and I will stay here to protect him." !"

"Master Long is here too? Is Lord Suo here?" Fatty Lu asked curiously.

Li Xu nodded angrily, and gave Fang Shiyu a vicious look, thinking that this fat boy is really fucking strong.But Lin Tianqing was taken aback, and quickly asked: "Lord Lu, that Lord Suo you mentioned, is that Lord Suo? What official position does he hold?"

"Lord Suoetuso." Fatty Lu scratched his head and said, "As for his official position, I didn't ask him for details, but I just heard from him that he seems to be some kind of guard...? What kind of official is this guard, sir I don’t know much about talent and learning.”

"Could it be Mr. Suoetusuo, the second-class bodyguard, the second son of the former chief assistant of the imperial court, Sonisuo Zhongtang?" Lin Tianqing exclaimed.

"Well, I really don't know." Fatty Lu shook his head decently, then turned to Li Xu and asked, "Mr. Li, the Lord Suo you introduced to me last time is the Lord Suo that Lord Lin said ?"

"Who else is there besides the old man?" Li Xu rubbed his hands and agreed angrily, and asked again: "What are you doing here? Xuanwumen Church is closed today, I want to pray and come another day."

"That's such a coincidence." Fatty Lu said happily: "The troublesome Mr. Li told Mr. Suo and Mr. Long that the next official also wanted to visit this church, and he also wanted to visit Nanhuai by the way." Father Rennan, and the former governor of Yunnan Lin Tianqinglin, he is an old friend of Father Nan, and we also want to visit him to reconnect with the old relationship."

"Then what do you want to do when you visit Father Nan?" Li Xu didn't even bother to take a look at Lin Tianqing, the former governor, and just stared at Fatty Lu vigilantly and asked.

"Looking for advice." Fatty Lu said seriously: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Li, although I don't believe in foreign religions, I am very interested in the knowledge of foreigners. I am proficient in astronomy and arithmetic, and I came to Beijing this time with the purpose of taking this opportunity to ask Father Nan about arithmetic."

"Really? You also have this kind of interest?" Li Xu was dubious.A companion over there came over and said, "Brother Li, whether it's true or not, we can't let them in, let them go, don't disturb the master."

"I wish it was so easy!" Li Xu glanced at his companion, thinking that his master mentioned this fat man Lu's name every day these days, and he obviously attaches great importance to this fat man Lu. If the master gets angry again, I'm afraid I won't even have the job of guarding the door for the master.Thinking up to this point, Li Xu tried his best to suppress his resentment towards Fatty Lu, and told his companion: "Go in and report, and tell the truth about their visit to the master, depending on what the master wants."

"Cover." The companion agreed, and quickly ran into the church gate.It was only at this moment that Lin Tianqing, who had been stunned all this time, came back to his senses, pulled Fatty Lu aside and asked in a low voice: "Master Lu, who is the Mr. Long you mentioned just now?"

"Lord Suo's distant brother, full name is Long Dehai." Fatty Lu replied with a full face of honesty: "You are not very old, but you have an extraordinary bearing. He must be a noble son from a rich family."

"Then what does he look like?" Lin Tianqing asked excitedly.

"This..." Fatty Lu scratched his head, and said in a very embarrassed way: "Master Lin, the lower officials are people who never gossip about others behind their backs, so I won't describe the appearance of Mr. Long because of his humble position. See for yourself."

"Is it really him?!" Lin Tianqing's heart suddenly beat faster.

At this time, several people suddenly came out from the gate of the church. There were men and women, yellow and white, and the leader was none other than that day when he had a chat with Fatty Lu in the restaurant and called himself Longde Xiao Mazi from the sea, besides Fatty Lu's old acquaintance Suo Ertu, another foreigner with curly hair and high nose, it seems that Fatty Lu is going to meet Nan Huairen, besides that, there are several other young men and a beautiful woman.And after carefully seeing the faces of this group of people, Lin Tianqing pressed his chest, and almost had a heart attack on the spot, kicking his legs and hanging up on the spot, but Fatty Lu screamed like a pig, and then ran away subconsciously— —Because that woman is none other than Kong Sizhen, Kong Sigege who Fatty Lu fears the most!

"Master Lu, why did you run away?" Xiao Mazi was very surprised, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly, hold Master Lu back."

The young men in front of the church did as they said, and immediately chased after Fatty Lu and pulled Fatty Lu back. Lin Tianqing was stunned, but when he came back to his senses, he rushed to the pockmarked boy and knelt down. I never thought that the little pockmark would glare at him, and ordered in a low voice: "Don't kneel, don't reveal my identity, just stand aside." Lin Tianqing suddenly came to his senses, and quickly stood up straight, standing to the side without even daring to take a breath, Surprised and uncertain.

At this time, Fatty Lu had been dragged back to the door of the church by Xiao Mazi's entourage. Xiao Erlang, the Liu family brothers and others were all at a loss, because they didn't dare to move because they didn't see Fatty Lu's order. Fang Shiyu wanted to step forward to stop him. But Xiao Erlang stopped him and asked him in a low voice to be calm.But the little pockmark laughed loudly and said, "Lord Lu, what are you doing? Didn't you come to ask Father Nan for advice? Why did you run away as soon as you saw us? Did we scare you?"

"Young Master Long, of course you didn't scare me." Fatty Lu smiled wryly, then glanced at Kong Sizhen over there with fear, and said tremblingly: "I..., I'm just afraid of Si Gege."

"Are you afraid of Si Gege?" Xiao Mazi was amused, and turned to Kong Sizhen and asked, "Si Gege, Master Lu is so afraid of you. Did you do something to Master Lu?"

"Mr. Huilong, there is a little misunderstanding between my family and Mr. Lu." Kong Sizhen was a little embarrassed and shy, and said in a low voice: "The last time in Guangxi, my family tortured him, and the scar is probably still there. Other than that , I still..., still...."

"You seduced him, right?" Xiao Mazi suddenly realized, turned to Fatty Lu and smiled, "Lord Lu, you don't have to be afraid, I'm old friends with Lord Suo and Sigege's family, with us, she won't take you away." I ate it. Let’s do it this way, for my sake, let’s cancel all your previous grievances. Master Lu, Si Gege, what do you think?”

"I'm fine with my family." Kong Sizhen agreed straight away, then coquettishly cast a wink at Fatty Lu, and said with a chuckle, "Actually, my family doesn't have the slightest malice towards Mr. Lu, but I don't know why Mr. Lu is afraid of such a weak woman like my family. .”

"I'm afraid you'll take my virginity away! I'm saving it for Shang Wanyi! Also, I'm afraid I'll get sick!" Fatty Lu roared in his heart.

"Master Lu, is this worth it?" Suo Etu also walked up with a smile, holding Fatty Lu's arm and said: "You are a man, why are you so fussy with a woman? Forget it, look at Mr. Long and me In terms of face, let’s just expose this matter.”

In fact, Fatty Lu is not even afraid of ruthless characters like Xiao Mazi, Aobai, and Wu Sangui, so how could he be afraid of a mere Kong Sizhen?The reason why Fatty Lu had such a reaction was because he hated Kong Sizhen, a lustful and vicious woman from the bottom of his heart. He always felt that as long as he ran into this woman, nothing good would happen. The skin is also poisoned and festered.So after hearing what Suo'etu said, Fatty Lu felt that his reaction was ridiculous, and hurriedly said: "Master Suo's words are very true, so let's do it from now on, let's do it like this."

"Success, that's why you have a lot of adults." Suo'etu laughed, and pulled Fatty Lu to the front of the little pockmarked man and the foreign devil, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, do you see that, Mr. Long heard that you are here?" Priest Nan asked for advice, and came out to meet you in person out of curiosity, just to see what you want to learn from Priest Nan. There is also this Mr. Yang, who is the priest Nan Huairennan you are going to meet."

Xiao Mazi and Nan Huairen nodded together, and they all looked at Fatty Lu with smiles, while Lin Tianqing next to him was so dumbfounded, he wanted to raise his head and shout, "What is this called? This fat man is too lucky!" Damn it! Come here to ask for some knowledge, and you are so alarmed that the holy man came out to welcome you!" But after thinking about it, Lin Tianqing couldn't help but smile again, and thought: "There is something to this matter, maybe I have the position of governor of Yunnan , there is really a possibility for salted fish to turn around!"

"Master Lu, in fact, I also like Western culture very much. Last time I really didn't know how you were doing, otherwise I would have asked you directly last time." Xiao Mazi asked with a smile: "By the way, today you When you come to visit Father Nan, do you plan to learn about it? Astronomy, geography, Western screws or firearms?"

"In the Qing Dynasty, I rode bow horses and shot all over the world. The ingenious skills of screw firearms are heretics. I don't know anything about them, and I have no interest in them." Fatty Lu certainly didn't dare to show off his knowledge of firearms in front of Xiao Mazi—it was him. Looking for death, he shook his head and said, "Astronomy and geography are not of much interest to me. I just want to ask Mr. Nan about arithmetic."

"Arithmetic? The difficulty of this knowledge is not lower than astronomy and geography." Hearing that Fatty Lu doesn't like firearms, Xiao Mazi was really happy, and asked again: "But there are many subjects in arithmetic. Master Lu, which subject do you plan to ask for?" Woolen cloth?"

"The binomial theorem." Fatty Lu blurted out.

"The binomial theorem?" Xiao Mazi was tongue-tied and asked in surprise, "What is the binomial theorem? There is such a theorem in arithmetic?"

"Oh, MyGod!" Nan Huairen exclaimed, and said in half-baked Chinese: "Master Lu, you are really good at joking. The binomial theorem is a mathematical theorem just discovered by the Englishman Newton. Even in our In Europe, there are not many mathematicians who can master this theorem, so you still know this mathematical theorem?"

"Oops, why did I forget that Newton only discovered the binomial theorem the year before last." Fatty Lu groaned in his heart, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "To tell the truth to Father Nan, in fact, this word was also invented in Guangzhou not long ago. At that time, I saw this arithmetic theorem in an English book borrowed by an English captain, and I was very interested, so I came to ask Father Nan for advice."

"MrRoh, would you still English?" Nan Huairen asked in English in surprise.

"YES." Fatty Lu, who was born as a high-achieving science student, has a good command of English because he is often exposed to English. He replied in English casually: "Slightly alittle, but not very strong, ofte**** took the grammar and word."

"Oh, MyGod! Master Lu, your erudition really surprised me." Nan Huairen exclaimed again, grabbed Fatty Lu in surprise, and invited: "Mr. Lu, please come to my church quickly. Let’s sit down and have a good chat.”

"Yes, yes, we all go to the church together." Xiao Mazi was also dumbfounded, extremely surprised, and hurriedly took Fatty Lu's hand to greet him: "Everyone go to the church, Master Lu, I really admire you more and more Now, since I have a destiny today, I must ask you for advice."

Everyone agreed abruptly, but Fatty Lu took the opportunity to turn around and greeted: "Erlang, Shiyu, haven't you been clamoring to see the Western Church? Come in quickly, but don't disturb the priests in the church praying." Xiao Erlang, Fang Shiyu and the Liu family brothers understood, and hurriedly followed in. The entourage brought by Xiao Mazi didn't dare to stop Xiao Mazi and Suo'etu because they didn't see Xiao Mazi and Suo'etu talking, and watched Fatty Lu's dog legs enter the church.

Thanks to Xiao Mazi, Fatty Lu and Xiao Mazi walked into the church like stars holding the moon. When they passed by Kong Sizhen, Kong Sizhen smiled at Fatty Lu, seductively, and Fatty Lu quickly turned his eyes away. Open, pretend to see other people.But at this moment, the eyes of Fatty Lu and a handsome man beside Kong Sizhen happened to collide, and at the same time, their bodies shook...

"Damn, why are this guy's eyes so uncomfortable?" Fatty Lu suddenly had the urge to punch the handsome man's nose flat.

"Damn it, why is this fat man's eyes so disgusting?" The handsome man also frowned slightly, and also wanted to kick Fatty Lu to death.

Seeing that Fatty Lu and Xiao Mazi entered the church together, Kong Sizhen wanted to follow, but then he saw the handsome man with whom Fatty Lu had a dislike for each other—and also Zhou Chang, the new friend that Tuhai had lent him, standing where he was He refused to move, and his face was full of displeasure, as if he was in a bad mood.Kong Sizhen smiled, put his hand on Zhou Chang's shoulder, and asked delicately in Zhou Chang's ear, "What's the matter? Is it delicious? There's nothing you can do about it. Who told the master to like Western learning, but you just don't know it." This, if you don't want to be compared by Fatty Lu, you won't be able to do it."

"Hmph! Just because he deserves to be eaten by me?" Zhou Chang snorted jealously, "It's just an ingenious obscenity, and it's comparable to our Qing Dynasty's Four Books and Five Classics, and the doctrine of sages?"

"But the master just likes this, what can you do?" Kong Sizhen laughed, and then chuckled in Zhou Chang's ear: "But don't worry, I believe you are definitely better than him in bed, you little pervert , Little pervert, little white wolf! Last night, my family was almost tortured to death by you and Tu Hai!"

Mentioning the absurd things that happened last night, Zhou Chang inevitably blushed a little, and quickly changed the subject and said: "Speaking of which, I am really a little unconvinced by the humble job. It is obvious that Fatty Lu probably told lies in the Fu Honglie case. He loves him, and he is also jealous, but we arrest him and interrogate him, the humble job is really rotten."

"Don't worry, take your time, let's settle this account slowly." Kong Sizhen smirked, and whispered in Zhou Chang's ear: "The most important thing for us now is to win over this fatty Lu for the master. Come here, first solve the urgent need of the master, and then slowly settle the debt, and slowly vent your anger on this fat man Lu. Do you understand, my brother Chang?"

"Understood." Zhou Chang nodded, but his heart became more and more angry-he said that the current emperor and Ao Zhongtang are really blind, and they don't want to use such a talented and well-learned talent like me, so they have to learn from Wu Sangui. While wooing Fatty Lu, who looks stupid at first glance, isn't this buying baskets for pearls?Fatty Lu, please remember, from now on, we are sworn enemies!One day, I will double this shame to you!

Gritting his teeth and muttering, Zhou Chang entered the church side by side with Kong Sizhen again, and said flatteringly, "Si Gege, in public from now on, you should be called the humble official. The humble official name is Zhou Chang, and the word is Peigong. You call me Zhou Peigong will do, just be easy."
