Wu Defu rushed to the capital with four guards. The five of them did not rest at the inn on the way. They rode for more than 200 miles directly to the east gate of Mingyang Gate. It was already evening and the city gate was closed. Wu Defu entered
If you can't get to the city, you'll live in Guanyi outside the city.
After dinner, Wu Defu didn't sleep. He couldn't sleep because he was anxious and had too many things to think about. Now he was not afraid that his hard work would be in vain, but he was afraid that there would be a sudden change in the future. The Baath Party ** who stayed in the concession had never thought about it.
To rebel, they now change their strategy and do not mention righteous rebellion. Like Hong Xiuquan, they focus on educating the people. The twelve Baath Party members on the roster in Wu Defu's hands have various occupations, and some are public officials in the six ministries. Twelve radicals
How many Baath Party members will they develop? Wu Defu was afraid that the news would leak out and the arrests would not go smoothly.
How to plan the arrest gave Wu Defu a headache. There must be members of the Baath Party lurking in the yamen of the Ministry of Justice. This kind of game where you are in me and I am in you was played with gangsters in the past, but now there are more rebels. Want to let
The people of the Nine Admirals intervened, so that it would be easier to successfully arrest the Baath Party members. But this idea was that Shang Shubao would not give the credit to the people in the army in vain. Even if Bao fell short, he would never give the information to others.
In the past, Wu Defu felt that the Han people were all friends and brothers, and the Manchus were trash. But when it came to a life-and-death situation, he felt that none of the Han men could be trusted. Instead, the Manchus could be put to great use. A rough arrest plan was already being drafted. Wu Defu sat down.
I was writing documents under an oil lamp. The dim light stayed on all night, and I was dressed neatly and waiting for the arrival of the morning.
As dawn dawned, Wu Defu and his party of five rode horses towards Mingyang Gate, the east gate. Guanyi was only two miles away from the city gate, and it was not possible to ride horses not far from the city gate. The five people got off their horses and prepared to cross the city gate.
.To cross the city gate, there was not one door, but three door openings. Wu Defu and his party took the door on the left through which officials could pass.
Wu Defu was still dressed as a fake foreign devil, and his casual clothes stood out among the four subordinates. The cold wind blew hard on his face, and the north wind formed a strange wind in the city gate, and a whistling tunnel wind blew diagonally.
Wu Defu's face suddenly blew his hat away.
An awkward smile appeared on Wu Defu's face, and he leaned over to pick up the top hat that had fallen to the ground. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out nearby, and one of Wu Defu's followers fell to the ground. The shooter missed Wu Defu and hit the side with a shot.
A flock of birds started flying on the wall at the city gate. Wu Defu lay on the ground and watched helplessly as Wu Qian, a servant who had been following him for many years, died in front of him.
Wu Tat and three other personal followers quickly took out their short-barreled flintlock guns and surrounded Wu Defu. When a group of soldiers in the city gate heard the gunshot, they also ran out with their long guns. There was a panic and chaos outside the city gate.
, a figure fled into the distance on horseback.
Wu Defu looked at the fleeing figure, with an expression of hatred on his face. He wanted to get on horseback to chase the person who fired the black gun, but there were more important things on his mind. He watched his brother die in front of him, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
He stayed silent.
Wu Taan said anxiously: "Master Wu, let's chase him, and I will definitely kill that bastard."
"Master Wu, let's chase. We will be able to catch up if we are fast. I want to avenge Wu Qian." Another follower also said anxiously, and another follower hugged his companion's body and cried bitterly. They all wanted to pay tribute to his dead body.
Companions take revenge.
Wu Defu gritted his teeth and endured the torture, his eyes were red and tears flowed out. He wiped them suddenly and said: "We can't chase. The killer is definitely not a person. They just want us to fall into a trap and chase the killer outside the city. It cannot be done by just a few of us."
Something happened." After saying this, Wu Defu took out the official documents and went to tell the whole story to Lan Ling, the commander of the city gate.
After a while, a team of horses rushed out of the city gate to chase the murderer who fired the black gun. The people nearby were also dispersed. With a gunshot, a life disappeared from here.
Wu Defu already knew who wanted his life. He knew who the short figure was at a glance. He had let this person go, but he did not expect that this person would kill him instead of upholding justice. Some people were
Freaks who are incomprehensible, they are anti-social and anti-conventional people. Talking about relationships with such people is a waste of your own feelings. Wu Defu is regretful about why he didn't hack "Huoying" Hua Dandan in the first place. Now he is so passive.
The situation happened to be of his own making. Not counting the death of a servant, even greater harm would be caused.
Wu Tatar hired a carriage near the city gate and placed the body of the deceased. Wu Defu did not get on the horse, but solemnly said: "Wu Tatar quickly changed his clothes and horses and returned to Tianjin to tell Xiao Lizi that the Hokage of the White Lotus Sect had taken action.
, let him be careful on his way back to the capital, hire more bodyguards, and don't show off his identity, the White Lotus cultists will attack him outside the city."
"The Hokage of the White Lotus Sect!" Wu Tata asked with his eyes widened. Wu Tata did not expect that Wu Defu would know who was going to kill him when he saw a figure from behind.
Wu Defu nodded and said: "Wu Tat disguised himself, change his clothes and find Xiao Lizi quickly. Don't be too troublesome on the way. You can't take revenge. Xiao Lizi's whole family is dead. There is a lair of the White Lotus Sect outside the city. You don't want to ride on Pegasus either, Bailian."
The believers will be suspicious of you, so just blend in with the carriages leaving the city, as long as they arrive in Tianjin tomorrow, don't rush for time, the White Lotus believers will target you if you move."
Wu Tatan muttered it silently, and Wu Defu nodded and said: "Just remember, don't carry a gun with you. It's more dangerous. Hide a flying knife. If anyone sticks to you at night, kill him."
Wu Tatar was very clever and took off his pistol and handed it to Wu Defu. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared at the gate of the city, with an ordinary and ordinary face without any features. After a while, Wu Tatar was curled up wearing a dog-skin hat and dressed in all the clothes.
The man in a navy blue cotton-padded jacket passed Wu Defu with a cloth bag astride his shoulders. The two seemed not to know each other, and they missed each other without making eye contact.
Wu Defu looked down at his two hands and said to himself: "Now I know I was wrong. Enemies cannot be allowed to remain. I want to kill all the people in the Miao family's juggling class. Wu Qian, please go away, I will
I will bring you the heads of my enemies as sacrifices."
Thinking of the ordinary things, Wu Defu wiped his eyes. He didn't like crying. Crying was a sign of weakness. He wanted to scalp his enemy alive. His ancestors left behind the secret of scalping people. He had never tried it before. This time he wanted to
Let the enemy experience the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Wu Defu got on the carriage and entered the capital under the protection of a team of guards. The plan in his mind changed. Now the plan was bigger and bigger. Wu Defu wanted to kill many enemies, far more than the twelve Baath Party zodiacs lurking in the capital.
"Huo Ying" Hua Dandan was galloping on horseback and fled on the forest path. He was slapping himself. The sudden encounter gave him the urge to kill, but God's will made Wu Defu escape his fatal shot in an instant.
.
"Huo Ying" Hua Dandan got the news that Li Guolou beat the Frenchman Robinson in a boxing match in the French Concession in Tianjin. He had a special face and was easily recognized by others, so he did not dare to enter the city and waited for Li Guolou outside the city.
Lou returned to the capital. He wanted to try his luck to kill Li Guolou outside the city, but he did not expect to meet a bigger enemy "Wu Defu". His uncontrollable desire to kill made him take action involuntarily, but this shot failed.
Having hit the target, he and his companions now had to find another way.
In the woods, "Hokage" Hua Dandan quickly changed horses, and one person, three horses, and ten companions disappeared on the dusty trail. The village not far from here was the foothold of the White Lotus Sect in the capital.
Hua Dandan turned to look at a companion next to her and said dejectedly: "I'm sorry!"
The eighth leader of the Ax Gang, Jiaman Yuman, said: "Hua Dandan, I asked you to pursue your goal. Your grandmother intervened to scare the snake. I was really blind to cooperate with you. I really don't know how you got your reputation."
Hua Dandan sighed: "I'm really sorry, I couldn't hold it back, but Wu Defu couldn't see my face, so he must have thought it was a Baath Party member who did it. Don't worry, the village chief and Baozheng here are all our White Lotus followers. You are here
Nothing goes wrong here.”
Man Youli glared at Hua Dandan fiercely and said, "This is just this once, and next time, Hua Dandan, follow the rules of the world, stab yourself three times, and then say sorry to me."
Hua Dandan pretended not to hear and asked, "Have everything been arranged?"
Man Youli smiled ferociously and said: "Don't worry Hua Dandan, the fake foreign devils will not be able to enter the capital. I will rape the second mistress first and then kill her."
There were bursts of laughter all around, and hundreds of Ax Gang disciples gathered together. Although they didn't have all the guns, they also had a lot of swords and axes.
Man Youli said loudly: "Brothers, we are seeking wealth through danger. The fake foreign devils have made enough gold and silver in the French Concession. Can we snatch the gold and silver?"
"Okay!" The axe-helper shouted in unison.
"We are going to rob foreign girls and avenge the country's shame!" shouted the members of the Ax Gang, and the ten brothers of the White Lotus Sect were also shouting on the side. In addition to revenge, they were more interested in the money Li Guolou carried with him.
Among them was Li Guolou's new neighbor Miao Fanlu. He was also shouting among the crowd. Thinking of the Spring Festival, Li Guolou invited his whole family to dinner and greeted him with glasses. Only when he got here did he know that the business he wanted to do was for Li Guolou.
The life of Guolou's whole family, now he has no choice but to wipe the ax in his hand. The underworld is the path he chose. He sold his life to his eldest brother, and can only rely on killing to exchange for the wealth and glory of his family.
At this time, Li Guolou was leading his family to celebrate mass at the Xikai Catholic Church in the French Concession. The whole family sat devoutly on long rows of chairs and listened to the bishop's sermons. Everyone needs faith, and Li Guolou was willing to give ten percent of his income
Give it to God in exchange for spiritual comfort.
The bishop presided over the wedding ceremony of a newlywed couple in the church. The bishop asked: "According to God's holy will, are you willing to enter into a marriage relationship with this woman and live together? Will you love her, comfort her, respect and protect her during your lifetime?"
Is she willing to give up everything and be loyal to her forever, no matter in health or in pain?"
Male Williamian: "I do!"
The bishop said: "According to God's holy will, are you willing to enter into a marriage relationship with this man and live together? In your lifetime, will you love him, comfort him, respect him, protect him, regardless of health or pain, are you willing to give up everything?
, will you always be loyal to him?" The female Kate said: "I do!" The bishop said: "Who objects to the union of these two?"
The whole place was silent except for Zheng Lingling's sweet smile, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.
The bishop was used to such scenes, and still remained serious. The bishop held Kate's right hand, and William followed the archbishop in saying the wedding vows: "I, William, will marry you, Kate, and Jelia, as my lawful wife. From now on, no matter what happens, no matter what happens, I will marry you."
Bad, rich or poor, in health or sickness, I will love you and cherish you until death do us part. I swear to you before God.”
Kate took William's right hand and followed the archbishop in saying the wedding vows: "I, Kate, Jelia, will marry you, William, and Michael, from now on, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in health or in sickness.
Love you and cherish you until death do us part. I swear this to you before God."
The bishop said: "God bless this ring, and bless the person who gives the ring and the person who receives the ring will be loyal to each other and love each other forever until the end of their lives."
William put a ring on Kate's hand and said: "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I will marry you, give you glory, and share my wealth with you, Amen."
The bishop said: "The eternal God, the Creator and Guardian of all things, who gives us a noble spirit and enjoys eternal life, will bless the couple. They will fulfill their vows, and this ring will serve as a witness forever.
Live in peace and joy and follow the will of God. Amen.”
The bishop put Kate and William's hands together and said: "May the two whom God has united never be separated."
The bishop shouted: "Since William and Kate have agreed to enter into marriage and have exchanged vows and rings, I now declare them officially married in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen!"
The scene was warm and touching, with the two newlyweds hugging each other and kissing.
The bishop said: "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit will bless you and give you grace and peace of mind, so that you can spend your life and welcome the arrival of eternal life."
Everyone in the church stood up and applauded the newlyweds. Li Guolou liked this kind of short and grand wedding, but he did not dare to tell the three lovers that they would also hold such a short wedding in the future.
