Yuzhu had a cigar in his mouth and crossed his legs. Alice sat on his lap with slightly red and swollen eyes.
After blowing out a smoke ring, Yuzhu asked Alice with a smile: "What is the origin of that William?"
Alice lowered her head and ignored Yuzhu.
Yuzhu smiled slightly, he could completely understand Alice's emotions...
Because, before she was bullied by him, she was still a young girl.
There was nothing he could do, he was too rough and hurt her.
"If you are obedient, you can serve as my representative in the future to contact foreign businessmen from all walks of life."
Yuzhu's men currently don't have any talents for Westernization, but he really needs a white glove to act as his mouthpiece.
Alice is just right!
He is her first man, and this reason is already sufficient.
However, Yuzhu really didn't expect that in Daiying, where the relationship between men and women was extremely complex and open, Alice, as a concubine, had never had a sexual intercourse.
Hey, does this count as finding a treasure?
Alice still didn't want to pay attention to Yuzhu, and Yuzhu wasn't angry either.
By chance, William, who was soaked in the water prison, asked to see Yuzhu for the eighth time, so Yuzhu dragged Alice and went to the water prison together.
To be honest, the most terrifying thing in the dark prisons of the Qing Dynasty was not the spanking or whipping, but being soaked in the water prison.
For a normal person, after soaking in a swimming pool for two hours, the skin of his hands and feet will turn white or even peel.
If you soak in the water prison for a few days, hehe, the muscles in your legs will rot.
After arriving at the water prison, I heard William's pleading from a long distance away.
"Please, let me out, I really can't stand any longer."
"Okay, okay, the skin on my legs is soaked."
"I have money, really good money. As long as you let me out, I will pay no matter how much money you have."
Yuzhu could hear that William was crying.
The water prison that oversees the Yamen is not open-air, but underground in the dark.
The steps to the water cell were very steep. Yuzhu took the initiative to reach out to Alice, but Alice turned her head away and pretended not to see it.
Hey, this foreign girl has been hurt by the plastic surgery, she is holding her breath and is still getting angry.
Yuzhu deliberately stiffened his face, snorted coldly, grabbed Alice's little hand, helped her down dozens of steps, and arrived safely underground.
When they reached the level ground, Yuzhu let Alice break free from his hand.
Niu Tai, who was walking in front, picked up the torch hanging on the wall and lit the way ahead.
The two sides of the dungeon are all made of gray bricks and are oval-shaped all the way to the top.
On both sides of the aisle, there is a thick and long iron chain.
Every three feet or so, there are large iron rings with short iron chains on the iron chain. You can tell at a glance that this is a place to lock people.
Keep walking forward, and there will be an iron gate on the wall every one foot or so.
"Sir, the villain is wronged..."
"Water, I want to drink water. I'm so thirsty."
"Let me out, I have not violated the king's law..."
In the dungeon, cries of injustice and cries of frustration intertwined to form a hellish lament.
Under the light of the torch, it was vaguely visible that the space inside the iron gate was so short that it was impossible to stand.
Yuzhu noticed that Alice's face suddenly became ugly.
Hmm, this foreign girl is actually not only smart, but also very cunning. She has obviously figured out why the cell inside the iron door makes it impossible for people to stand.
At the end of the dungeon, William's familiar voice kept coming.
"Please, I can't stand the soak anymore, my legs will be rotten!" William is a master of Qing Dynasty, and he shouted in slightly jerky Chinese.
Yuzhu stood in front of the iron gate of the water prison, but could not see clearly what was going on in the prison. Niu Tai very cleverly put the torch in his hand through the narrow crack in the iron door and stretched it in.
This time, Alice saw clearly.
I saw that William had a heavy shackle on his neck, and his hands were locked in the shackles, unable to move at all.
If you look carefully, you will find that William's calves are completely soaked in black water that emits a foul smell.
William, whose heart had collapsed, saw Yuzhu coming. He hurriedly walked to the iron fence and cried, "Please, let me out. No matter what the conditions, I agree to you."
Yuzhu smiled coldly, raised his chin, and said in English: "Dear gentleman, you have been in China for so long, and your knees are still so hard? Obviously you are still not convinced, so I'll leave first."
William had been soaking in the smelly water for more than two hours. He was really fed up. His knees softened and he knelt straight into the smelly black water, crying and begging for mercy.
"Sir, please spare me, I don't dare to do it anymore."
Yuzhu didn't look at William, but kept paying attention to Alice's expression.
You can see that Alice's pretty face has no color at all, her lips are trembling slightly, and she can faintly hear the slight movement of grinding her teeth.
Well, she was scared, very scared, and that’s right!
To put it bluntly, Yuzhu deliberately led Alice down to the dungeon, just to let her see clearly what would happen if she didn't obey her orders.
Following Yuzhu's instructions, William was led out of the water prison.
As soon as William's feet touched the dry ground, his legs gave way and he sat down on the blue-gray floor tiles, breathing heavily.
"Take him to change clothes, have a good meal, and have a rest. When he thinks clearly, bring him to see me." Yuzhu turned to tell Niu Tai.
Niu Tai said loudly: "嗻."
When going out, Alice climbed up the steep steps in front. Yuzhu stretched out his palms from behind to support her hips to prevent her from falling.
Niu Tai protected behind Yuzhu.
After leaving the dungeon, Yuzhu reached out and took Alice's little hand. This time, she didn't dare to shake it off with force, and obediently let Yuzhu hold her.
After returning to the inner study, Yuzhu lit a cigar again, still crossed his legs, and asked Alice to sit across his lap like Fangcai did.
"Well, be my female secretary and mistress. If you perform well, you may very well go back to London with tens of thousands of pounds, or even hundreds of thousands of pounds, in great glory." Yuzhu raised his hand and forcibly pulled Aili over.
Si's face suddenly darkened, "If you don't behave well, you have already seen William's fate, right?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At that time, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty received a BMW named "Lion Cong" as tribute from foreign countries.
This horse not only travels thousands of miles a day, but also has a violent temper, making it difficult for people to control. Many people have no idea what to do with this fierce horse.
Wu Zetian once said: A concubine needs three things to control her: an iron whip, two iron hammers, and three daggers.
Women are naturally attracted to strength, and if you want to subdue her, you must show great strength.
In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just paper tigers.
With Yuzhu's hard and soft tactics, there is no need to worry about Alice not giving in.
After the wonderful story on the desk was played out again, Yuzhu clearly noticed that Alice was not only more obedient, but also took a little initiative.
After the gallop, Yuzhu hugged Alice and asked many questions in detail.
Including, Alice's origin, family, connections, etc.
Of course, the highlight is William's various situations.
This time, Alice obviously gave in and answered all questions without daring to hide anything.
Even a fool can see that men are not merciful people.
Alice couldn't help retching just thinking about the foul-smelling black water in the water prison.
Alice's father, before his death, was a marquis who owned a large estate.
William's family background is even more prominent. His father is a duke, and his uncle is an admiral of the Royal Navy.
Hmm, the family of the Royal Navy Admiral is simply wonderful!
The granular black powder used in naval guns, flintlock guns, steel-making technology, and shipbuilding technology are all the treasures Yuzhu needs most.
After Alice behaved, Yuzhu did not treat her badly and directly found William's special cook from among the captured servants.
Medium-rare pan-fried steak, French-style pan-fried foie gras, chicken salad, grilled prawn soufflé, etc., delicious dishes were served to the table one after another.
The only drawback is that there is no long dining table in the supervision office, but a large round table.
Alice originally thought that Yuzhu must not know how to use knives and forks.
Who would have thought that Yuzhu's movements of holding a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right hand to cut steak are not only skillful but also extremely smooth.
Following Yuzhu's instructions, the servants supervised the yamen's cellar, fetched ice cubes, cut them into small pieces, and put them on the dining table.
Thanks to the blessing of the Ice Age, in Guangzhou in winter, the banks of the Pearl River would freeze when it was the coldest. Otherwise, there would be no ice available.
Under Alice's silent gaze, Yuzhu first put a large ice cube into the wine glass, and then poured whiskey and water in a ratio of 1:2.5. This is the famous "water cutting method".
After being diluted with ice and water, the whiskey is not as strong and exciting as it originally was, but instead takes on a light and elegant flavor, which is very suitable for pairing with meals.
"Cheers, my sweet little baby!" Yuzhu picked up the high wine glass with a smile, touched it gently with the wine glass in Alice's hand.
Alice's heart was full of mixed feelings. She didn't know what it was like!
The whole demeanor of this man with the devil hidden in his heart is very much like that of a top gentleman from the British upper class.
Needless to say, the whiskey made by Yuzhu using water cutting method made Alice, who had never tasted such a taste, feel like an eye-opener.
When dining in the homes of scholar-bureaucrats, the emphasis is on eating without words and using chopsticks without sound.
Western food is different. Westerners are accustomed to chatting while eating, and even talk loudly.
Yuzhu took a sip of whiskey and asked Alice with a smile: "My dear lady, there is a famous novel called Pride and Prejudice. Have you read it?"
Pride and Prejudice was only published in the 19th century, so Alice naturally shook her head and didn't know.
So, taking advantage of the meal, Yuzhu told Alice the outline of the story.
The little squire Bennet has five daughters to marry, and Mrs. Bennet worries about finding satisfactory husbands for her daughters all day long.
"The new neighbor Bingley was a wealthy bachelor. He immediately became the target of Mrs. Bennet's pursuit. At a dance, Bingley fell in love at first sight with Jane, the eldest daughter of the Bennet family. Banner
Mrs. Te was ecstatic about this..." Following Yuzhu's emotional description, Alice was quickly immersed in the ocean of world famous works.
Hey, literary young women, it’s best to lie!
Alas, I am afraid that the gangsters are literate!
