"Master!" Li Guolou broke free from Yelia's arms, turned around and shouted.
Yang Dongting, who was less than fifty years old, was stunned for a moment. He seemed to think that this fake foreign devil looked familiar, and couldn't help but stop and think about it. He knew too many people, and had been led by thousands of troops. They knew him, but he didn't know them.
Very normal.
"Master, what is your name now? I am Li Guolou! Do you remember Xiaolou?" Li Guolou reported his family name, but he didn't even know his master's name.
"Hahaha!" Yang Dongting laughed three times and said, "It's a small building. You little monkey, don't go up to the house to uncover the tiles. Oh! My name is Su Xuli, and I am a legitimate businessman in the shipping business."
Li Guolou shed tears, wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, and said: "Master, I thought you were dead and I was burning paper money for you."
Su Xuli said with sadness: "Xiaolou, the boat has capsized, but I'm not dead yet. You're doing well."
Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "Master, you are not bad, and you have black guards."
Su Xuli chuckled and said, "It's not cheap, you still don't understand."
While joking, the two parties greeted each other and agreed to go to a five-star Western restaurant for dinner together. The master did not know how to dig into his pocket, but the apprentice tipped the waiter first and asked for a quiet seat by the window.
The two servants who were also servants Jelia had seats, while the two black servants Su Yuli stood outside the door consciously waiting for their master.
Women and women sat together, while Li Guolou and Su Xuli ate alone.
Li Guolou cut the steak skillfully with a knife and fork, and said: "Master, you are really brave, and you can find everything through prying eyes. Aren't you afraid?"
The national wanted order for Gang King Yang Dongting is still valid, and the bonus is as high as one thousand taels of silver. Even if Yang Dongting is hiding in the concession and is reported, she will be sent back to the Qing Empire, and she will not escape death.
Su Xuli drank coffee with determination and said with a smile: "I am already a British Commonwealth citizen in Singapore. Do you understand the returned overseas Chinese? As long as I don't step out of this concession, no one will dare to do anything against me."
Li Guolou said suspiciously: "Master, why are the British willing to take you in?"
Su Xuli sneered and said, "It's not like we have a friendship. They made a lot of money from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back then, so they still gave me this favor."
Li Guolou said: "Oh! Master is now an opposition figure. They are supporting you now. Whenever you need it, you can scare Lafayette. I was right."
Su Xuli put down the coffee cup angrily and said, "Xiaolou, I'm not a traitor to my country."
The reality is so cruel. Those who defeated imperialism ended up hiding in the embrace of imperialism. Their only remaining dignity was that they did not betray their ideals. For poaching the Qing Empire, they could shirk the excuse that this country had long ago
It can be eliminated, and you do everything that is detrimental to the country without betraying your conscience. If you want to argue clearly with them, you have to form a new political party to have a say.
The Eight-Power Allied Forces that the Chinese people call the invasion of the Qing Empire were spearheaded by these national martyrs with glorious dreams. They were commanded by the batons of foreign powers, but they still had lofty ideals in their hearts, hoping that with partners, the Western Empire could open up the world
The Bastille of the Qing Empire. The hidden history is so sad. The Chinese have never lacked dissidents.
Li Guolou did not discuss politics with Su Yuli, but said with a casual smile: "Master, you don't know me yet. I have no political stance. I just make random remarks and I will be friendly with whoever is in power."
Su Xuli said with a smile: "You have clearly accepted new ideas, but you pretend to be a romantic young man. I have heard of your brother's name, but why have I never heard of you? Are you just a softie?"
"Master, you are still the same, not caring about anything." Li Guolou said in a glib tone.
"Xiaolou, although you still act like a fool, you are better than your brother. If he saw me and ignored me, he would have forgotten me as his master."
Su Yuli sighed, and he also had difficulties in his heart. Li Hongzhang's family was powerful, but some people knew him but did not dare to come forward. The Nian Army could not grow, and none of the Western powers were willing to help the Nian Army. National righteous men like them were sought after by the Western powers.
Li Hongzhang was the most important person among the Western powers, but Li Hongzhang, like Zeng Guofan, clung to the Manchu Empire and refused to cooperate with national heroes.
Everyone who does business wants to establish friendship with the Li family. Li Guolou knew this, and he did not take on Su Yuli. Li Guolou and his master Yang Dongting were just reminiscing about old times. He was not willing to have business dealings with such people. This was
He is asked to sell out his national interests in exchange for constructing an idealized new country with his eyes out of sight and his mouth.
When it comes to business, Su Xuli is engaged in the shipping business. There are several shipping routes in the north, including freight and people transportation, as far as Vladivostok, and in the south as well as in the coastal areas of Fujian.
Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "Master, these ships are all adapted from trophies."
Su Xuli said proudly: "We have bought new boats a long time ago. The old boats can only do river business, but they cannot travel on big rivers."
"Oh! Shotguns and artillery!" Li Guolou still joked glibly.
Su Xuli said: "Xiaolou, where are you hanging out now? Why is there no news about you in Shanghai?"
Li Guolou said: "Master, my family wanted me to take the imperial examination, so I went to work in the capital. I won't take the exam next year. I'm now working as a minor official in the Ministry of Justice."
Su Xuli put down his knife and fork and said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that you are just a snoop, and you also say bad things about others. The police officers here are all my friends, and you are the only one who says bad things."
"Silence is golden! Master, I don't want to be hunted by the world!" Li Guolou continued to tease, people can't help themselves in the world, some people can only pass by, and the attachment to the master can only be forgotten. He did not
He has the spirit of dedication to sacrifice his life and blood for the country and the people, but he will not do anything to betray the national interests.
Those who do big things don't stick to trivial matters. He can't do it because there are too many fetters around him. The paths chosen by masters and disciples are different. If there is no personal interest infringement, it is still possible to be friends who eat and drink. It's easy to meet in the world, everyone.
Have a happy lunch, the memories are beautiful, and no one will destroy it.
Li Guolou was immersed in the beautiful past, but faced a head of cold water.
"Xiaolou, I have a few friends who are imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Go and get them out." Su Yuli gave orders to Li Guolou as if giving orders to a death squad.
"Okay! Master, just once!" Li Guolou steeled himself and said decisively.
"Write your home address on the back of my name badge." Su Xuli said without a doubt. This is the magnanimity of a man who has commanded thousands of troops. There is no such thing as helping and negotiating to discuss implementation plans! The details of the troubles
It's all handled by the subordinates themselves. A decision made in an instant can change the battlefield pattern. How to deal with Li Guolou? Isn't he, the master, still unable to figure it out?
Without a confrontation, Li Guolou was defeated. From now on, he will be a national hero. Those who have been in prison are the most loyal national heroes. These people who have worn iron shackles will be the hope of the future. They will
Over and over again, they told the national martyrs the various tortures they suffered in prison. They did not give in, but only resisted and fought, using the power of unity to defeat the black-hearted prison boss.
"Master, you follow the wind and rain, and you are worthy of being the king of gangs. I don't care about the prisoners on death row. I don't have the ability to change people in the execution ground." Li Guolou said in a bargaining manner.
Su Xuli said: "Let's take a look first. I will give you a list. Xiaolou, you can find out for me who are the Qing spies. You always have to help me with this."
Li Guolou smiled bitterly and said: "Master, I can still help you find people in prison. How could I know this kind of one-on-one work? Even Prince Gong would not have this blacklist. This kind of thing does not belong to the Ministry of Punishment."
No matter, you can find someone else."
Su Yu immediately understood and said with a smile: "It's true. Even if there is a list, I'm not in the Ministry of Punishment. I won't ask you to do this. Let's just drink and let's not talk about politics."
After drinking for a while, Li Guolou let go and said: "Master, I think you are a member of the underworld. The organizational form of the Little Sword Society is similar to yours. That Liu Lichuan is the comprador of the foreigners."
Su Yuli chuckled and said: "Xiaolou, I will still believe that in the future. Foreign girls follow me because I have money, not because of my lofty ideals. If you have ideals, there will be a market. If you can afford the people, you will understand."
? Those foreigners should also listen to the truth. If you talk to them about money, will they value your wealth? I won't let you die, the benefits will be indispensable to you. "
Li Guolou shook his head and said: "Forget the benefits, I will help if I can. I will tell the truth whatever price they offer. I won't accept this kind of money."
Su Yuli said: "Anyway, your family is rich. If we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, the revolution will come. Although I may not be able to see it, my successor will definitely be able to realize the revolution."
Li Guolou asked: "Master, what teachings do you believe now?"
Su Yuli sighed slightly: "I believe in the teachings exported by the revolution, learn the spirit of the French Revolution, and achieve great liberation for the whole people. But some people want to learn how to assassinate Tsar Alexander II. We are fighting to judge whose ideas are wrong.
Woolen cloth."
Li Guolou immediately understood the meaning of Su Xuli's words. The internal struggle of the revolution could only be discussed in meetings. However, Su Xuli was not a revolutionary by student background. He believed that truth comes from swords and guns, and he had rich experience in the Taiping Rebellion. A national righteous man has
There was a big discussion between the two thoughts, and the final outcome was that both parties parted ways. Su Yuli actually asked him if he was interested in arresting a group of national heroes to dye his feathers red. These national heroes were plotting to assassinate Emperor Tongzhi or Cixi
Queen Mother, the road to power quietly opened the door to Li Guo Tower.
Li Guolou raised the goblet, looked at the red color in the glass, and said: "Master, things happen one after another, otherwise no one will believe each other. Right?"
Su Yuli glanced at Li Guolou's expression, laughed and said: "That makes sense, let's not talk about state affairs, in order to open the door and get the business done. Cheers!"
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival is full of joy. This is the French Concession, and there are still many customs from the Qing Dynasty. Merchants will not miss the opportunity to make money. Various products are wrapped in festive patterns. Big red words "Happy" are posted on the door, and red represents
A happy event, in Li Guolou's eyes, is the bloody act of killing.
