Chapter 234 For the sake of the brothers around me
Li Guolou habitually gets up early in the morning. He has to go to work. He didn't go to work yesterday and can't skip work today.
"Xiaolou!" Wu Peipei, who had regained her strength, had spring in her eyes and a fire in her belly that burst out again, hooking onto Li Guolou's body like an octopus.
"Sister Peipei, I have to go to work. Be good and don't gossip. I'll come back tomorrow." Li Guolou persuaded him kindly. He wanted to be a promising young man, spend his nights in ecstasy, and become a gentleman during the day.
"Yeah!" Wu Peipei heard this and got up to get dressed. She was annoyed that she wanted to break up with Li Guolou, and she would have to look at the little man's face in the future. The more she thought about it, the more she suffered. Why could Zhen Yuhuan live in Li Guolou's house, but she wanted to
Staying alone in the empty boudoir. The independent woman is bold and innovative. What era is it now? The Qing Empire is opening up to the outside world. She has already done extraordinary things. Why does she care about the title of Madam Gaoming?
While having breakfast, Wu Peipei warned: "Xiaolou, we haven't gotten to know each other well yet. We should have more contact. I'd better move to your house. I usually go out less often and don't let anyone know. The maids and old servants here won't tell.
Don’t worry about going out.”
Li Guolou frowned and wanted to say he didn't agree. When he saw Wu Peipei's sad eyes, he couldn't bear to say it out and said helplessly: "Sister Peipei, then bring a maid and stay at my house for a few days. If you don't get used to it, come back. You
If the court finds out about this, I will be punished! Sister Peipei, you must be careful."
"Oh;;;;;I know, if I don't move, I just want to play for a few days. Even if I stay for a long time, I won't move the things at home if I can. It will make people think that I have gone to Tianjin." Cunning Rabbit Sanku has a trick up his sleeve.
Wu Peipei's late husband, You Gaoming, had a house in the British Concession. She divided her inheritance in the capital and divided up a small house. She wanted to get the house in the Tianjin Concession.
"Baby, it tastes the best! I can't bear to leave you. I'll pick you up in the evening and have dinner together." Li Guolou caressed Wu Peipei, still wanting to have a good meal. Seeing the shy Wu Peipei, she couldn't bear to leave.
In front of the old lady, she hugged Wu Peipei tightly.
"Well, small building, let's go for a walk in the small garden first. You have lunch and go to work. I'll go to your house to play in the evening." Wu Peipei twisted her body shyly, already knowing that Li Guolou was impatient.
.
Li Guolou deeply understands this sentence that a woman carries a hero's grave. It's hard to separate the taste. They confide in bed and understand each other's situation. In order for his future career to flourish, he has to pay a lot. No matter how good the idea is, it will become
Money is not something that happens overnight. Over time, wealth can be slowly accumulated. But he was not willing to waste his time and watch others walk ahead of him. He took a shortcut and made others jealous! Li Guolou said goodbye to Wu Peipei with a smile.
, another woman was taken care of by him. What he kissed was not a woman but a large amount of wealth.
The sun was shining brightly at noon, and Li Guolou was in a good mood. There was a huge quarrel in his family about marrying a younger wife. His family encouraged him to marry a younger wife, just for power and money. He was filled with emotions. It was better to be a grown-up woman, with life experience, so he didn’t have to worry about it. His family allowed him to marry a younger wife.
He was independent, so he showed his ability to his family on his own, and used his ability to deal with criminals to deal with big women. Li Guolou walked with his head down and a sinister smile on his face.
Thinking of the red diamond theft case, Li Guolou raised his head slightly. The benefits of being a policeman came out. He had an excuse not to go to work in the morning. Who dares not to care about the affairs in the house of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? There has been no impact in the past two days.
Days, easy to explain, no loopholes!
After registering in the gate room, Li Guolou entered the Courtyard of the Criminal Department and walked into the lobby. He went to meet the chief first. He had just been promoted and couldn't hold his tail high.
Wu Defu saw Li Guolou coming in, glanced at him and said, "Where did you die? Master Bao has been asking you for two days. You want to be buried alive, but you want to see people. Why did you act so carelessly just a few days after you died?"
"It's not because of the case of Mr. Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, but because of the bonus of 500 taels, my legs even broke." Li Guolou screamed so loudly that everyone outside the door stopped and looked into the second hall's office.
look.
Wu Defu was pleasantly surprised and said: "We have an idea!"
"Of course! But it depends on God's will." Li Guolou looked at the commander with complacency and issued a military order.
"Don't embarrass me! The people above are making a fuss. This case has been solved. Those Manchus dare not let it go. From now on, the Ministry of Punishment will be Lord Bao's world." Wu Defu's new official has three things to do when he takes office.
I can't see enough in my hand.
If Wu Defu wants to look good, he should enter summer early, and the official hat in his hand is a straw hat.
There are two types of official hats in the Qing Dynasty, one is a warm hat and the other is a cool hat. The warm hat is worn in the cold season and is surrounded by mink or fox fur. It is turned upward and is three fingers wide. It is used in the cold north.
Cover the forehead and temples. The hat is made of bamboo and covered with silk, mostly white. In summer, it only has red tassels and no fur, especially like a bamboo hat. There is a top bead on the highest part of the hat, and the seventh grade is made of plain gold.
There is a feather tube under the top bead, which is made of white jade or jade, and is used to place feather branches. There are two types of clear feather branches: blue feathers and flower feathers. Blue feathers are made of He Yu, and flower feathers are made of peacock feathers. Flower feathers were a common type in the Qing Dynasty.
The distinction between species is a sign of prestige and rank, which cannot be worn by ordinary officials. Its function is to indicate the rank and reward military merits. In the Qing Dynasty, the emperors issued three orders and five orders. They can neither overstep their duty to wear it nor not wear it at will, such as
Violations will be strictly punished. Generally, officials who are demoted or dismissed and remain in office can still wear court uniforms according to their current rank, but being punished with having their flower feathers removed is an unusually severe punishment. Flower feathers and court beads require the talents of fifth-rank officials.
Wearing it, the official hats on Li Guolou and Wu Defu's heads are both blue feathers.
Li Guolou said sourly: "The governor has dispatched me, and my subordinates must obey the orders and do not dare to be careless. From now on, the governor will wear flower feathers and court beads, and don't forget to support the younger ones."
Wu Defu laughed heartily. It would be very difficult to climb up without fame. He was satisfied with having a seventh-grade official hat. He said without changing his expression: "Well! Little Lizi, you have also officially joined the ranks of officials. You must learn from Yao Cuo.
Go out early every day and come back late every day, let the superiors see you every day, and be the first to think of you when anything happens. Only in this way can you be worthy of the official hat on your head and the nurturing grace of the common people."
Li Guolou was furious. Up to now, the superior had not asked him to sit down. He ignored the etiquette and sat down. He said angrily: "Master Wu, don't bother me when the new officer takes office. I have caught the murderer. Eyeballs
If I put a red diamond of the same size in front of you, you wouldn't be able to see it. Where can I find such a large Shangshu Mansion? I can only say that I have an idea. As for whether you can get the five hundred taels of bonus, why are you anxious?"
Wu Defu glanced at him and said: "Xiao Lizi, aren't I thinking about five years from now? Adults will not be idle at home all the time. If you can help, you must help."
"Oh;;;;;;" Li Guolou poured himself some tea and said casually: "Master Wu, can we put out the horse cakes? His wife came to my house crying to catch the autumn breeze. If next time his wife
I can't bear to bring twelve children to my house."
"This is so difficult to handle!" Wu Defu said in an official tone, preparing to blackmail Li Guolou. The brothers settled the accounts clearly and were promoted to the second level. More of his subordinates would benefit, and a bowl of water would cost more.
Duanping.
The two civilian staff sitting behind the desk on the left and right raised their heads expectantly.
As soon as Li Guolou took one look at this posture, he knew what was going on? There were policies from above and countermeasures from below. Although Mr. Bao had spoken, those who joined the Baath Party in the Criminal Department were the ones who could be saved and could be treated leniently. But since these people came in
No matter how hard you think about it, you must abide by the rules, and the money that should be spent must be spent by the brothers. The money should be paid by the person who made the mistake, but who asked Li Guolou to get the money so quickly?
"Master Wu, make a friendly offer." Li Guolou said calmly, making the two clerks next to him immediately look at him with admiration.
"Hey! Who is one of our own? If the outsiders don't ruin everything, don't even think about leaving. It's half the price, one hundred and fifty taels of silver." Wu Defu bites the bullet and says that the money belongs to the public account, not him.
One person has so many eyes staring at him, all trying to get some benefit from it. How much money one person should make if he goes in, everyone can calculate it on their fingers.
Li Guolou took out ten silver notes from his wallet and said with a sad face: "Mr. Wu, I only have one hundred taels of silver notes, so I will give them all to you. Ma Chong is also very pitiful. He has twelve children to raise, so you can
Be accommodating.”
Wu Defu didn't take the banknote, his eyes flew over, and a clerk next to him understood it and took the banknote away. As the official position got higher, accepting bribes also became more advanced. Wu Defu didn't touch such small coins, they were all hung in the public account.
He is as clear as a mirror, with breeze on his sleeves.
Li Guolou smiled and said: "Sir Wu, the game remains the same as before. I would like to thank you on behalf of the entire Ma Chong family!"
"Go! Go to Mr. Bao's place once, and you won't have to ask me to lie. And don't come empty-handed when you come to my place tomorrow. Bring us three kilograms of high-quality Maofeng. It's an advantage for you, kid!" Wu Defu said to Li Guo
Lou's business was official, and there was no sign that the two of them were so good at each other in private that they wore crotchless pants. On the surface, the friendship between colleagues was limited, but the real benefits were still accepted. Everyone did things according to the rules of the officialdom.
Li Guolou said hello to his colleagues, thanked his friends for their generous help, turned around and left, walking towards the depths of the courtyard. The Marquis Gate is as deep as the sea, and there is a unique cave in the Criminal Department. Walking on the corridor, he has a lot of thoughts. He doesn't make money.
Okay! With just a few words, he helped his subordinates get a hundred taels of silver. As an official, he didn’t put a penny in his pocket, but handed over thousands of taels of silver. If he hadn’t found a different way to find a few rich women to be his strong support
Backing up, he wants to buy a piece of tofu and get killed. The sad road to officialdom, the ending of unwillingness to exploit his subordinates, is to betray his lust.
You're right! Li Guolou narrowed his slender eyes and looked at the warming pavilion next to him. He also built a warming pavilion in his own courtyard. When winter comes, the whole family can sit inside, drink wine, watch the ice and snow, and enjoy the warmth.
The days are like spring. If you want to have both sides, you have to know how to make sacrifices and live a good life for the brothers around you. His dedication is worthy of applause!
Li Guolou did not look down on his young husband-in-law Zhu Danyu. People have feelings for each other after they have been together for a long time. He believed that Bao Yiyi and Zhu Danyu truly loved each other.
"Good afternoon! Mr. Bao, Mr. Zhu." Li Guolou did not show the courtesy of dismissing an official, but greeted the people in the inner hall like friends.
"You brat! I'm finally out! You're good, you're half-finished with the case and haven't handed in a single report. Why don't you let go of this black hat?" Bao Yiyi made a show of force and threatened Li Guolou. He was also angry, and his men
There are no rules, he runs away without a trace, wherever he is left.
Li Guolou bowed down to make shrimps, and said with a smile: "Master Bao, please calm down, I was also made angry by people. You don't know that I went to see Jingguan early yesterday morning, and was tricked by Yanzi Zhang, a famous thief in the capital.
.That short boy stole in front of me. I chased and chased;;;;;;"
Li Guolou moved his cheeks, told a story, and brought Bao Yiyi and Zhu Danyu into the bloody rivers and lakes, letting them know that there was a folk hero "Yanzi Zhang" in the capital who was causing trouble.
The conversation changed and he said: "No! I'm stuck, so I went to check out Yan Zi Zhang's background. I will definitely catch him next time."
"Little Lizi, you are talking nonsense. A person can climb a wall more than ten feet high with bare hands. Have you lost your mind after seeing the Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses?" Zhu Danyu shook his head and did not believe what Li Guolou said. He had seen such hard skills as Iron Sand Palm.
By the way, I have only seen heroes flying over the roof and walking over walls in books.
"I'm lying to you, I'm a bumpkin!" Li Guolou swore pointing to the sky and said angrily: "Wait until I catch Yan Zi Zhang and let him perform it for you. Climbing the wall relies on the strength of the fingers, and only small people can do the gecko skill.
, I can’t do it!”
"Bah!" Bao knocked on the gavel together and yelled angrily: "Little plum, can you not do it? You even dare to take Prince Gong's woman home. Do you think I am blind or deaf? Let me recruit you from the truth.
,Don’t hide your secrets!”
"Hey, hey, hey," the three men, who were strangers, laughed together. The next topic was classified as confidential. Zhu Danyu walked to the door and closed it. Even the guards at the door couldn't let them hear. This matter related to the country's face, so it couldn't be done.
Keep a record, I heard it made me laugh and I was knocked down.
