Chapter 152 Where there is faith, there is spiritual sustenance
The three noble men got off the carriage. The house of businessman Zhang Yaozu was very easy to find. There were banners and banners at the door to summon souls, and the chanting of Taoist priests could be heard on the street.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, only five people from Li Guolou and his party came to pay homage to the deceased Zhang Yaozu. The deceased had not yet been buried, and was lying in a coffin. Chinese people have a tradition of worshiping the appearance of the deceased, bowing and kowtowing to the coffin.
Zhang Yaozu was originally a businessman. Three Westerners, one Asian, and one fake foreigner came to the house to pay homage to the deceased. Although it looked very strange, the family members of the deceased still knelt on the ground and returned the gift meticulously.
Thank you.
Li Guolou handed over the money for the funeral, in full and in small pieces, signed by five people, and gave him ten taels of silver and five more from Tongzhi. Li Guolou spent generously, and a group of family members cried in front of Li Guolou and others.
Fan.
Next, women took out five bowls of glutinous rice balls from the big pot and gave them to Li Guolou and others. Each bowl of glutinous rice balls contained two stuffed glutinous rice balls, which symbolized that the family would be reunited in the future. The three Frenchmen swallowed them with difficulty.
The glutinous rice balls with red bean paste stick to your mouth, and Jelia's expression looks like she's taking medicine when she eats them.
Li Guolou said to the steward who entertained them: "Mr. Kong, please call out the heir to the deceased Zhang Yaozu's estate. I have some of the deceased's belongings that I want to give to her."
After a while, three women and four children came out. They all focused their attention on the crutch in Li Guolou's hand. They paid attention to this crutch when they entered the door from Li Guolou.
This is the epitome of the ancient system of three wives and four concubines. One wife and two common wives have the right to inherit the inheritance and enjoy equal treatment. The other wives and children are considered side wives and have no inheritance rights, and their lives depend on the faces of these three wives.
Li Guolou said: "Li Guolou is a police officer in the capital. I happened to pass by the scene before Zhang Yaozu was dying. Unfortunately, I took action too late. I snatched the silver box from the robbers. I'm really sorry that I didn't have time.
Save Mr. Zhang Yaozu."
Li Guolou knelt down and kowtowed to the widow of the deceased and confessed. He was also an accomplice of the robbers. He did not seek revenge for the deceased. He was just a man of the rivers and lakes, and he had to repay a favor. He owed his life to a robber, so he had no choice but to let go.
other accomplices of the robber.
There was another burst of pitiful crying and asking why?
Li Guolou shed tears and said: "I have stayed in the Yamen for a long time and know the darkness inside, so I brought Zhang Yaozu's valuable relics in person. Please forgive me. I can't talk about the case anymore. If there are any difficulties at home in the future,
Just come to the Criminal Department and find me."
The crutch was handed to the wife first, and then the relics of the deceased Zhang Yaozu, broken silver, copper coins and a stack of silver notes were handed over. Li Guolou bowed and turned around.
"Chief Li, can the robber be caught?"
The hoarse, lung-splitting cry left Li Guolou speechless and choked up: "I will give you an explanation, don't worry."
The three women grabbed Li Guolou's clothes and prevented him from leaving. They begged him to tell them how Zhang Yaozu died.
Li Guolou lowered his head, still speechless to the family members of the deceased. He is the embodiment of justice and evil. He has no integrity at all. His kind side still exists, but people in the world of martial arts can only be seen in the world of martial arts.
The strange and bizarre Braid Country has created a group of people who are dark and swaying their horseshoe sleeves. They either remain unknown and become compassionate ordinary citizens, or they rise to the top of power by following the trend. Li Guolou is no longer the reckless and upright person he was when he first returned to China.
The kind-hearted Changzi, his ideal is to become strong enough to compete with any power.
The evening bell rang, startling a group of pigeons on the bell tower. At dusk, the Xikai Catholic Church was sacred and solemn. The church was full of candles, and people were coming in and out. Li Guolou, who had no faith, knelt on the ground to confess to his Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.
.
Jelia Wood ran into the confessional to confess her love affair with a pagan to the priest. She had evil thoughts and lost her good nature, and asked the Lord to point her in the right direction.
The children in the choir started their evening lessons, and the sound of nature sounded together with the pipe organ in the church. In this environment, people will abandon worldly things, and people kept putting money in the tall alms box.
Silver treasures and ornaments were thrown in, and Li Guolou lined up behind him.
After doing something wrong, go to church and pray and repent, then you can start over. Li Guolou suddenly felt that believing in Jesus and gaining eternal life is his future pursuit. People always have faith. When they are young, they pursue the ultimate physical pleasure. When they are old, they pursue extreme physical pleasure.
Only place your soul on spiritual faith.
Jelia was very satisfied with Li Guolou's performance and praised: "Mike, will you believe in God?"
Li Guolou said: "As long as I can marry you, I am willing to convert to Catholicism."
"I will also convert to Catholicism." Mayuko confessed.
"Well! Then let's have a Han wedding first, and then have a luxurious Western wedding at the British Hall. If the bishop doesn't come, we will exchange rings ourselves," Jelia said.
"Is this okay?" Li Guolou said hesitantly.
"Whatever, it's just a formality. At worst, I'll confess again." Yelia said so boldly.
Li Guolou asked: "Jelia, what did you confess to the priest?"
Jelia sighed: "The gods of the West are the same as the gods of the East. Money can make the devil grind. I spent the money and the priest forgave me. Don't worry, we will continue in the evening."
As the carriage drove over, Li Guolou asked: "Yelia, where should we eat at night?"
Jelia got on the carriage and said: "Master Liu, go home." He turned around and said: "Mike, what else are you having for dinner? Two dumplings make me feel sick now. If you get hungry later, let Edward make a sandwich."
Mayuko said: "I don't want to have dinner either. Mike, don't show off on the street. People won't see you wearing new clothes at night."
Mayuko saw through Li Guolou's show-off nature and took two foreign women with him on the street just to show that he was a successful businessman.
Li Guolou stood behind Mayuko and spanked Mayuko. Little Japanese women just wanted to be spanked. They were addicted to being spanked by men. They couldn't do it without spanking.
Mayuko twisted her waist, turned to look at Li Guolou, and said, "Mike, please be more serious outside. I am a serious Japanese woman."
Li Guolou got on the carriage and said, "Master Liu, stop in front of the Mox Cafe. I'll go down and buy some smoked sausage and take some back to the capital."
Mayuko said: "Mike, don't give me the kielbasa. Neither Koizumi-kun nor I like it."
Li Guolou said: "Jelia, buy more things and go back, otherwise the people at home will talk about me."
Jelia hugged Li Guolou tightly and said softly: "No, let's go home. Let Edward and Xie Rui take care of these things. They have to stay here for a while. I just want to stay with you more."
Li Guolou asked: "Yelia, are you used to my food?"
Jelia said: "You will get used to it gradually. Grandma is very good at making bread. Mike, you have to ask someone to deliver milk to me every day. There are no other requirements."
Li Guolou asked: "Jelia, can't you use cheese?"
Jelia said: "You must have fresh milk and cheese."
Li Guolou sighed: "Yelia, serving you is like serving Lafayette. The requirements are really high."
Jelia's little mouth came up and said sweetly: "I will reward you."
Li Guolou immediately pulled up the curtain in front to prevent people outside from seeing what was happening in the carriage. The three of them hugged each other and teased each other. When the carriage stopped at the Mox Cafe, several people got out of the carriage, and Lan
The smell of mountain coffee attracted them, and having dinner here was also a good choice.
Edward and Xie Rui still entered the Mox Cafe first, with Li Guolou behind, saying: "Jelia, after becoming your servant, I will never leave again. They are already middle class."
Jelia smiled and said: "Mike, isn't it the same for you? A servant is your godson, he has money and a woman, and he has been sold to you for his whole life."
Li Guolou said: "It is better to have money. My master seems to be a revolutionary. In fact, he spends money to buy killers, and then instills faith in the killers so that people will follow him wholeheartedly. Yelia, you are also following this path now.
It’s very dangerous.”
Yelia wants to cultivate Li Guolou's family into a Catholic family. Isn't Li Guolou's whole family being led by Yelia?
.
Yelia rolled his eyes at Li Guolou and said, "You are not allowed to joke about your faith, otherwise you will not be rewarded."
Yelia is not worried at all that Li Guolou will be disobedient. From the moment she met Li Guolou, Li Guolou has listened to her. Even Mayuko's body has been asked to give orders to her. Next, Yelia will
Will control Li Guolou's every move. Whoever puts her oldest and experienced person at the helm will ensure that Li Guolou will not capsize. Yelia has discovered the dark side of Li Guolou. Li Guolou is by no means a
A follower who follows the leader's butt, a person who can associate with the underworld and rebel gangs, has great ambitions in his heart.
Drinking Blue Mountain coffee, Li Guolou said: "Mayuzi, tomorrow we won't stay at your house. If you look at me like this, your husband will beat me. I will give your husband some gifts then, and we will break up."
Mayuko bowed and said: "Hi! I understand, please Mike, please work hard tonight and work hard!"
Jelia said: "Don't take any souvenirs from Mayu. Just bring food back and eat it all. There will be no future troubles."
Mayuko hesitated for the first time, looking at Li Guolou muttering and looking pitiful, about to cry.
Li Guolou said: "Mayuko, those stolen goods were given to Mr. Xiaoquan. He must like this story."
Jelia nodded and said: "Hi! My husband will definitely like it. I have one last request, please accept it from Mike."
"Say! I won't be fooled again." Li Guolou was not polite.
Mayuko stretched out her right hand and said: "Mike, please give me your pocket watch. It has your photo on it. As long as I see your photo, I will be strong. Don't worry, two masters, Mr. Koizumi won't be able to find the things I hide."
.”
Li Guolou was reluctant to part with this pocket watch and followed him abroad. Although it was not a gold watch and it was not expensive and had been repaired several times, he already had feelings for it. Neither his two grandmothers made such a request. Little Japan
Women go too far!
Yelia noticed it and said casually: "Mike gave it to Mayuko, and I will buy you a new one tomorrow with my photo on it. Do you always know?"
Li Guolou said with a bitter face: "Dear Yelia, where are the two grandmas above?"
Jelia smiled casually and said: "Put it in your wallet."
Li Guolou reluctantly took out his pocket watch and handed it to Mayuko, looking at Mayuko who was crying. How would this poisonous little Japanese woman kill her husband? Li Guolou had already thought of a foolproof killing trick.
