The leader of the "Miao Family Juggling Class", Miao Changbian, is in his forties, short and stocky, with a flat face, small eyes and a nose that looks up to the sky. At first glance, he is from an ethnic minority.
The white powder on Choudanhua Dandan's face has not been wiped off, and it can be seen that she has touched up her makeup.
Miao Changbian, the class leader, greeted Wu Defu and Li Guolou according to the etiquette of meeting guests, said a lot of auspicious New Year words with a smile, and then shamelessly reached out to ask for the reward.
Wu Defu took out two twelve-weight silver ingots from his sleeves and put them on the table, and said: "Master Miao, you are indispensable. Please sit down and talk first. There is a basin here in Hua Dandan to wash your face. Let us see it."
Your true face."
Wu Defu's words were sharp and murderous, and his eyes became sinister, and he glanced at Chou Danhua Dandan as if he had read through people's hearts.
"Master Wu, it's very troublesome to remove makeup. You have to wipe it clean layer by layer, otherwise it will damage the skin." Miao Shanbian seemed to be distressed and told Wu Defu that actors are not for fun.
Wu Defu said with a smile: "Master Miao, we are all Jianghu people and we must act according to the Jianghu rules. Let's meet each other openly and say what we can't talk about. It's rare for Hua Dandan to show his true face to others. The face of Hua Dandan is always
You want to give it to me, what do you think?" Hua Dandan's face was smeared with white powder, and there was no difference in her facial expression. She still stood there motionless.
There was no smile on Miao Shanbian's face anymore, showing the habit of a gangster brother. He used to speak tough Chinese, but now he was even more arrogant and said: "Master Wu, Chief Li, are you really not going to give me face? I have never offended you.
You guys."
Li Guolou interjected: "Master Miao, Hua Dandan's face is earned by everyone. During the Chinese New Year, you can't even meet people in the world honestly, so why should you talk about giving face!"
Hua Dandan raised his eyes and glanced at Li Guolou, and said angrily: "We will definitely give Mr. Li some face, just remove your makeup." After saying that, Hua Dandan ran to a table next to him and sat down, using a towel in front of a mirror.
Dip in water and wipe the white powder on your cheeks little by little.
Wu Defu laughed dryly and said: "That's right, Master Miao, sit down and drink tea! It's a rare opportunity for us to sit here and watch others perform on the stage."
"That's that!" Miao Shanbian echoed beside him, holding a cup of hot tea, his respectful look the same as when he first came in.
Li Guolou did not watch the performance on the stage, but looked directly at Hua Dandan, who was sitting next to him taking off her makeup. The expression on his face was serious, and his eyes were squinted out of habit.
Wu Defu asked: "When did Master Miao come to the capital?"
Miao Shanbian bowed slightly and said: "During the Chinese New Year, the capital is still popular and everyone comes to support us. We outsiders are content to have a place to stay in the capital."
"Oh - the stiff road will melt soon, and the road will be easier to walk. No matter how beautiful the outside world is, it is not as beautiful as my hometown, isn't it, Master Miao?"
"That's that!" Miao Shanbian blew the green leaves on the tea and drank the green tea in small sips.
Li Guolou raised his voice and said: "Hua Dandan, can your two stilts be connected and hooked to the high wall to climb up the top of the wall?"
Hua Dandan shook her head while removing her makeup and said: "Sir, Mr. Li, I just perform on stilts and have no other abilities."
"Oh - it's okay. I've already asked someone to get your two stilts. You don't mind." Li Guolou never exploited loopholes. He had to get the evidence first. Now that he is the banker, he can play whatever cards he wants.
What cards? The two members of the Miao family's juggling class let him play whatever he wanted.
Hua Dandan stopped removing her makeup, turned to look at Li Guolou, and said firmly: "I don't mind."
When Wu Tat walked into the private room, there were sentries at the door, and the atmosphere became tense. Li Guolou gestured with two stilts, and in just three or four strokes, the two stilts were connected and transformed into a long stick with a hook.
"Hua Dandan, you lied. This is a murder weapon." Li Guolou said with a smile.
"For self-defense." Hua Dandan stood up, her face no longer powdery.
Wu Defu stood up, walked to Hua Dandan, looked him up and down, laughed, and said: "The name is like the person he is, and the Hokage lives up to his name."
There is a natural birthmark on Hua Dandan's face from the base of her ears to her neck. The bright red birthmark is unforgettable.
Hua Dandan is the Hokage. He is a killer and has a strong heart. He already knows that he was seen through by Li Guolou, but no one has any evidence to prove that he is the Hokage. That's why people in the Yamen are so polite to him. Hua Dandan is still
Maintaining the nature of patience of a killer, only those who can endure loneliness can become killers. In order to hit the enemy with one blow, he can follow the enemy for a month and understand the enemy's life pattern, and only then gives the enemy the last lead bullet.
"Where are we? Mr. Wu and Chief Li, you can't slander us. We are Lakers who have been working for many years. We have already filed a record in the Yamen. The household registrations are all true. If you don't believe me, you can check it.
." Miao Changbian is indeed fickle, and he stood up in a hurry to grab the advantage.
Wu Defu raised his hand gracefully and said: "Master Miao, sit down, you can come to cheer us up today, how can we not give face to Master Miao, if you are black and white, I can eat you in one bite now, but I don't have it. Everyone is here."
He is a man of rivers and lakes, and harmony brings wealth."
Miao changed again and again. He sat down and shouted: "Do you understand Hua Dandan's rules? I won't serve tea to the two officers."
Hua Dandan, who is less than 1.6 meters tall, steps forward, pouring tea and handing cups meticulously. The waiter in the waiter moves skillfully, and the expression on his face is a smile.
"Sir, I just like to joke. I apologize to you."
Wu Defu took the tea cup and said in a daze: "Little plum, where did I say just now?"
Li Guolou smiled and said: "Master Wu just has a bad memory. Just now you said that no matter how beautiful it is, it's not as beautiful as my hometown."
"Oh - I almost forgot, Leader Miao, when are you leaving the capital?" Wu Defu directly issued an eviction order. This is Wu Defu's territory. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will hack him first.
Miao Shanbian looked at the two silver ingots on the table, smiled casually and said: "Master Wu, we are all knowledgeable people. After receiving the silver reward, we will return to our hometown tomorrow morning."
Miao Shanbian felt aggrieved and wanted to make a big deal, but he didn't expect that his boat capsized in the gutter. His whereabouts were discovered before he could do anything, so he had to come to the world to meet each other.
Wu Defu picked up two silver ingots, handed them to Miao Shanbian with a smile, and said: "Master Miao, a contented person is always happy. When you come to the capital from now on, say hello to me first, and I will pick you up. You guys are constantly changing your names now.
I don’t know what you believe now? But having money is the first priority, otherwise who would mess with Leader Miao.”
"That's right, Master Wu should be considerate of the small hardship. It's not easy for us to come to the capital once because there are so many people and we have to travel so far. Please ask Master Wu to give us some reward money." Miao Shan became more aggressive and showed his true nature as a gangster.
Bought with money. With so many Kung Fu masters gathering together, they will make you sick to death even if they fight over each other.
Wu Defu didn't mind at all. He handed over two more silver ingots while maintaining his grace and said: "Master Miao, those who are content are always happy. Don't be too greedy."
Miao Shanbian squeezed out a smile and said: "Master Wu is in business. I will still come to rely on your big tree in the future, don't you think so?"
This is the rule that Jianghu people talk about. The rich contribute money and the poor contribute. If you want peace and no trouble, you have to spend money to buy peace.
Li Guolou looked at Hua Dandan and said, "Hua Dandan has an easy journey back home. Lend me these two stilts so that I can compete with you in the 400-meter race."
Hua Dandan said respectfully: "Xiao Lizi has heard of his name for a long time. He is well-deserved and his words are true. I will practice more when I go back. When we meet next time, we can still become good friends. How about a relay race?
That’s not good.”
Amid laughter, the two sides said goodbye. Wu Defu took the stilts that had turned into long roots and asked: "Second brother, how did you know that the Miao family's juggling troupe are White Lotus believers?"
Li Guolou took the hidden weapon he took out from the stilts and several gear-shaped darts that glowed coldly, and said: "Second brother, since the last time I saw Naruto, I have been thinking that if there were no ghosts in the world, who would become one foot tall?"
Gao? At the scene of the crime, I checked the footprints on the ground. It was not a ghost without any traces. There were traces of wooden stakes on the ground. Later I figured out that the Hokage escaped on stilts. In the mountainous area where the Miao people live,
Walking on rainy days is very muddy, and stilts are a tool used by the Miao people to go out on rainy days. They wear raincoats and walk on stilts on rainy days, so that the stilts feel like walking on the ground. The Hokage is an arrogant person who kills people and gets carried away. He wants to watch our jokes.
, and even deliberately performed a front bow flip in front of me. But he didn’t expect that I would have suspected him a long time ago. It’s a pity that we have to establish a brand, otherwise we will directly defeat them.”
Wu Defu looked up to the sky and said: "With so many people from the White Lotus cult here, they should be the helpers invited by those people to muddy the waters in the capital. Do you think it is possible?"
Li Guolou pondered for a moment and said: "The White Lotus Sect is already a member of the underworld. They rely on their martial arts skills to get involved in any business. What the second brother said makes sense. Those people are going to take action. Patriots are here to find them.
The White Lotus Sect who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty should have been bought with money. People from ethnic minorities are stubborn and will not make money, but patriots will make money. Second brother, have you never heard the speeches of patriots? They are so exciting. The future is in their hands.
Here, everything is easy. Overthrow the decadent Manchu dynasty. From now on, nothing will cost money. Warships and cannons are everywhere, and the people can eat whatever they want. When we get to the French Concession, I will take you to listen to a speech by a patriotic hero, like
You, a person with Han blood and a brain capable of analysis, will soon have an anti-bone on your head."
"Hey, third brother, you are a rebel, do you think I can't tell?"
"Hey, I haven't reached that point yet. I just want to change the slow and outdated situation of the Qing Empire. Emperors and presidents are the same. There is not much difference between power concentrated in the hands of one person and a group of people. The British constitutional monarchy is better.
?”
Li Guolou revealed his inner thoughts and was a reformist who supported the constitutional monarchy through and through.
Wu Defu said: "This is how little Japan reformed. We can only wait for the day when God's will comes. Now we still develop and strengthen ourselves. If we have money, the Bailian followers will follow us, don't you think so?"
Li Guolou nodded and said: "That makes sense. Let's not talk about state affairs and continue to listen to the show."
The relationship between Li Guolou and Wu Defu has taken a further step. They have the same ideals and their desire to serve the country allows them to work together.
Few Han people wholeheartedly support the Manchu-Han regime, and they all want to change the country's poverty and backwardness, and hope that a savior will appear. After two hundred years of blessings from the "Aixinjueluo family", the throne has long been recognized by the people. The Han people
There is no big difference between being an emperor and being an emperor among the Manchus. Now it is not the same as when the Manchus entered the country. They had to leave their hair or not, Yangzhou massacred the city in ten days, and Jiading exterminated the human race. The Manchu regime used to be gentle towards the common people.
, except for Zeng Guofan, who was murderous, Empress Dowager Cixi always gave official hats to the rebel capitulationists, giving the rebels a chance to start a new life.
Nowadays, it seems that the Qing Empire is in danger and is in turmoil, but there is no great chaos in the world. On the contrary, the rebels have not received a single response, and the Nian Army has become the last of its strength. The general trend of the world has returned to a calm state, and the mighty anti-Qing torrent has only a few left.
