After Li Guolou handled official business in Team C, he walked into the inner hall of the Criminal Department. The Criminal Department occupies nearly three acres of land and is very large. After passing through the layers of sentries and courtyard gates, he came to the Jingxin Pavilion, where the heart of the Criminal Department, Shangshu Bao, worked together.
Li Guolou lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head. He flicked his sleeves and kowtowed, "My subordinate Li Guolou pays homage to Mr. Bao."
"Oh, you are Xiao Lizi. We have met in court, but we have never said hello. My name is Zhu Danyu, you should have heard of me." A young voice came out from the public case, and he was also the book boy who accompanied him.
Zhu Danyu, the male favorite, greeted Li Guolou with a peaceful voice.
China has a vast land and abundant resources. In ancient times, wealthy scholars were always accompanied by bookboys. The relationship between the two parties was that of master and servant. There were also many people who had unethical love affairs and molested children openly. There are countless officials who have this hobby. For this kind of
The scholar who accompanies the scholar who studies with him, and the scholar who is more affectionate and conscientious will teach the scholar how to read and practice calligraphy, which can be regarded as a kind of raising eyebrows.
Li Guolou immediately changed his face, and in a calm tone, he cupped his fists and saluted: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Zhu. I have heard about Mr. Zhu's reputation for a long time. I often see your handwriting on documents. Your writing skills are smart and your language is smooth. The articles are even more impressive.
It’s easy to understand, so that us old men can understand it at a glance.”
Zhu Danyu smiled handsomely and said: "Li Xiucai, are you hurting me or flattering me? I have also studied the eight-legged essay assiduously and will come to you tomorrow for advice."
Li Guolou said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, I am a fake scholar. I can only write four paragraphs of eight-legged essays with paired parallelism. I will make you laugh at my ability to organize language."
Zhu Danyu made an invitation and said: "Sit down, Mr. Bao will be here soon. Come on and watch the tea."
The two scholars began to talk about the imperial examination. Li Guolou told about the hard work of the students who stayed in the inn in the winter, lamented that it was not easy to study, and asked if he would take part in the spring imperial examination. Li Guolou said that he would not take the imperial examination, while Zhu Danyu said
How about he try to get to the real level?
Li Guolou said: "Xiao Zhu will tell you honestly, are you trying to bribe the examiner? Which word is the hidden pen, and how much money will you need to pay before you reveal it?"
Zhu Danyu opened her eyes wide and said, "Xiao Lizi, what did you say? I don't understand a word."
Bao Yiyi walked out from behind the screen, laughed, and said: "Little Lizi, don't teach Zhu Danyu a bad lesson. He has never been around outside. He doesn't know how despicable and shameless a rich man like you can be. Even the most sacred scientific examination
He also cheats."
Li Guolou hurriedly stood up and paid homage, and said with a playful smile: "Master Bao, why don't you give me two thousand taels of silver, and I will help you scan and listen clearly."
Bao sat down together, shook his head and said: "Zhu Danyu is still young, I want to test how deep the water is, and don't do such dark things. There is a big tree behind you, so people will naturally buy your face. I really want to test
There is no problem in the first thirty, and the examiner is afraid of exposing you further. The Queen Mother has a pair of piercing eyes. You don’t know that the Queen Mother is a good painter, and I was lucky enough to get one."
(It was a female painter Miao Jiahui who wrote for the Empress Dowager Cixi. She was later sent out of Beijing as a gift from the Empress Dowager Cixi and later stayed in France.) Zhu Danyu understood. The three of them drank tea with smiles. There was no big burden in their hearts. There was no conspiracy to be plotted.
Say hello when you meet.
Li Guolou's face was easy-going, as if he didn't feel much burden when he saw the superior, but his heart was pounding. Bao Yiyi's chess pieces moved faster and faster, pushing out his confidant. He also wanted to train him into a confidant, and surpass Wu Defu's escort.
Fang directly dealt with Zhu Danyu in the inner hall.
Bao Yiyi said: "Li Guolou asked you to come in, you are going to scold you, he asked you to leave for such a long time without talking to you, and he went to fight in the French Concession. What a bad impact. It has not gone viral in the capital yet.
In a few days, I'm sure it will cause trouble all over the city, and the prince will also know about it. What do you want me to say? Your subordinates are uneducated and ignorant, but they still call you a national hero. Didn't you ruin my name for a French girl?"
Li Guolou bowed and said: "Master Bao, please forgive me. I signed the life and death document on impulse and will not let the Ministry of Punishments smear it. I have invited two French boxing coaches to conduct devil-style training in the afternoon. I will invite Master Bao then."
Go watch the showdown with Xiao Zhu."
Bao Yiyi said in surprise: "How come Xiaolizi is officially open to the public?"
Li Guolou said awkwardly: "Mr. Bao, my love rival Robinson is a big businessman. I was tricked by him. He has put up posters in the French Concession to sell tickets. Now two French reporters have come to my house. I
His deeds appear every day in the French newspaper Pravda. Today there should be an exclusive interview with Jelia. I will also be interviewed by the French newspaper Pravda at noon today."
Bao Yiyi sighed and said: "It's over! Xiao Lizi, you have caused an international dispute and can't stop the car. I can't show up. Winning or losing is secondary. Don't die too ugly. Then I will let my son go.
Encourage you, I’m sure of your lie. You go handle the rest first, and then tell me when you have an idea. I’m afraid that even if I get full credit for this matter, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come to find fault. What do you think we should do?
"
There is a group of people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who work as spies, also called Dauchi Guards. They used to be called Niangan Department. Later, their reputation became so bad that they were all transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and directly under the control of the emperor. This group of people could not even be commanded by Prince Gong Yixin.
, following the orders of the Empress Dowager Cixi, this group of spies now went deep into the tiger's den and entered the concession to find out the secrets of the Western powers, and even pretended to be national heroes and penetrated directly into the heart of the enemy.
Wu Defu reported to Bao the deal that Li Guolou made with the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If things were carried out according to the set goals and a group of people who were preparing to assassinate the Qing Emperor were captured, then the Ministry of Internal Affairs would spy on them.
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Xiang Gangdie will challenge the Ministry of Punishment. Why did the traitors who fought against the Qing Dynasty turn the living into the dead? Why do some people escape? Anyway, a great achievement will become a small one, and the case of assassinating the emperor will become just a repayment.
The planning was not implemented.
Li Guolou didn't understand, and Bao Yiyi expressed his worries. Regardless of the assassination case, the Criminal Department would be fully responsible for the case if it happened in the capital.
Li Guolou thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Bao, if you do it, you will make mistakes. If you don't do it, you will make mistakes more mistakes. Those traitors are terrible people and desperate desperadoes. You also know about the case of the Ministry of War last time.
, committed suicide in front of us, and I can’t guarantee that we can catch anyone alive. But these traitors have one characteristic. They like to make written reports, and they will hold meetings to discuss every step of the plan. They will write down very detailed assassination plans.
Come down, as long as you get this document, no one can erase the contribution of our Criminal Department. If you can't find this document, I will make one myself, what do you think, Mr. Bao?"
Zhu Danyu laughed out loud and said: "Xiao Li, why do you have to report this kind of thing to the superior? They do it to trick the superior."
Bao looked up at the roof together and said: "Oh - it makes sense that documents are more important than people. The mouth is in the face of others, and shameless people will talk nonsense. If you want to be successful, you must have documents. Throw them on shameless people.
I will make them all suffer when the time comes. Xiao Lizi, you are a versatile person and you are not allowed to change jobs. You can only leave after I leave office. This is our life and death agreement."
Li Guolou swung his sleeves, turned over and bowed, saying: "I am willing to do my best, and I will not leave Mr. Bao even if my heart is broken."
Bao Yiyi helped Li Guolou up with his own hands and said with a smile: "Little Lizi, you are smart and know how to advance and retreat. You are not greedy. You are just too good at getting into trouble. Please be more honest in the future and do your job easily. I have already taken care of my hometown."
The land is sold. Do you understand?"
Li Guolou nodded frequently, smiled but did not answer, and everyone remained silent.
After discussing business matters, Li Guolou said that now is the best time to invest in textile factories. A large number of factories have closed down. He bought textile factories at low prices and became a business tycoon in two or three years. He was already preparing to fight with the fake foreign devil Yu Hanbing.
Cooperate and invest the funds you have in Tianjin's textile factories. Ask Bao Yiyi if he dares to take a gamble?
Bao Yiyi asked: "Xiao Lizi, who else is participating in this bet?"
Li Guolou said: "Master Bao, if you are the only one, you may lose all your money in gambling. When the time comes, you can't be ruthless and you must be able to afford to lose. Win! The future is yours. This is not just a happy event in the stock market. This is a success."
Thousands of people are following you to live their lives. Now is the worst of times, and it is also the best of times. If you miss it, you can only be a bystander in history. If the Chaoyang Plan is successful, it will be discussed in the court, and there will be no conclusion in one or two years.
, the implementation is also very slow. We are taking advantage of this period of time. The Qing Empire will definitely be the largest textile power in the world in the future. The north belongs to Tianjin. I will go to Tianjin to visit the factory this time. It will be inconvenient for you.
Just let your son go and have a look. If you wait for two or three years, orders from all over the world will come in like snowflakes. I can see the future."
Li Guolou did not forget to give Bao Yi the ecstasy soup. It spread in the Ministry of Punishment that he was an invincible divine fortune teller, and there were also rumors that he could communicate with ghosts and gods.
Bao twitched his fingers together and said, "Xiao Lizi, which one is better, Chaoyang Project or the textile industry?"
Li Guolou smiled casually and said: "I have to participate. I will rely on these two industries in my next life. Mr. Bao, you also know that if I spend money to buy a civil servant, I will be able to occupy your position in more than twenty years."
, but times have changed, if we don’t take action now, we will have no chance in the future.”
Bao Yiyi asked: "Xiao Lizi, do you have a plan?"
Li Guolou said with a smile: "Master Bao, this is a gamble, not an exploit. I don't have a plan to show you. If you believe it, just throw it into this hole. People who don't believe it will treat you as a joke, and you will be made fun of in the future."
.But in the past two or three years, the prince will also want to buy your shares. When the time comes, I advise you to hide in the concession to avoid being eaten up."
"Really? Someone dares to come and eat me!" Bao Yiyi stroked his beard and laughed out loud.
The chief did not ask Li Guolou to leave, but Li Guolou announced that he was leaving. There was a dinner at noon, and he wanted to invite Mr. Bao and his family to come.
Bao Yiyi waved his hand and said: "Let's go, don't let me know when you come to the back hall from now on. I will ask my son to come to you tomorrow. You have to lead him on the right path. There is no future in singing opera. You have to tell him this truth. Only then."
You have this ability, so I don’t need to tell you why.”
Li Guolou bowed and left. Zhu Danyu watched Li Guolou leave and asked, "Master Bao, do you believe him?"
Bao Yiyi smiled and said: "Xiaoyu, Xiaolizi is a little fox. Don't believe him. But he is a person sent by God to save the Qing Empire, so you must obey God's will."
Zhu Danyu stared at Bao Yiyi suspiciously. This time he did not understand what Bao Yiyi said and could only make a sign of the cross on his chest. Homosexuals also believe in God. Tolerance is tolerance. Bao Yiyi believed in Catholicism.
