There are dozens of trucks parked in the backyard of the inn, and most of the drivers sleep under the carriages with their clothes on. This is also the best way to prevent theft. The first brigade led by Li Guolou enforces military discipline, except under each truck.
Some people are sleeping and others are on duty.
Li Guolou stood alone behind a carriage on duty in the middle of the night. The night was very cold. He was wrapped in a sheepskin coat and still felt cold. The moonlight was sparse and strange black shadows were printed on the ground. The feeling of loneliness made people miss the warmth.
On the bed, Li Guolou looked down at the shadow on the ground. This was the path he chose, and he would still be with Han Ye in the future.
During the long night, my mind was a little wandering. Suddenly, the inn in front of me became noisy and someone was quarreling loudly.
Li Guolou stood still, still sticking to his post. The people on the carriage next to him also cheered up and did not dare to be careless.
"Xiao Li, the boss asked you to come over." A young policeman ran over excitedly.
Five on-duty detectives hiding outside the inn caught a waiter who slipped out of the inn in the middle of the night, tied him up and carried him into a guest room next to the lobby.
The innkeeper Ye Kai was also alarmed. He bowed his fat body and was trying to persuade the two detectives pretending to be convoy guards to let go of his buddy Yang Deshu.
"Sir, I know you have many rules, but in the middle of the night, please don't disturb other merchants. If you have anything to discuss, let Xiao Yang go first." Ye Kai walked in circles and bowed to the dozen or so fierce guards around him.
As soon as **Hu took a look at the group of people who came, he knew that they were not authentic. The rules were so strict, and they were all young people. They were not officers and soldiers. He was just pretending to be stupid and did not tell the truth. Anyone who has traveled around the world can see how extraordinary this cavalry team is.
.
Yang Deshu, a thin, eagle-nosed waiter tied into a rice dumpling, had slap marks on his face, but he still spoke harshly and shouted: "What's wrong with me? I live in my own house. I can leave if I want, and stay if I want."
"Slap mouth!" Li Guolou got angry when he heard it. He deliberately made loud noises in the middle of the night and would not relent even if he was beaten to death.
Sun Yue pulled out an iron ruler and struck with all her strength. With five swings, Yang Deshu knocked out two of his teeth, and his face was swollen like a tall steamed bun.
"Grandma's bear, we made it clear when we entered the store. No one is allowed to leave until we leave. If you have a sharp knife, you are not a good person. If you scream again, I will kill you." Sun Yue handed over a sharp knife found from Yang Deshu.
Li Guo Tower.
Yang Deshu groaned, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Tears welled up in his eyes. He understood that he would never dare to get angry again when he met an unreasonable master.
Gao Yaowun was originally sleeping in the inn. The noise woke her up. He arrived uninvited. He showed off his unique skills and kicked Yang Deshu in the lower abdomen. He raised his eyebrows and used the tactics of a policeman to scare people. He shouted: "
Brat, I’ll give you one last chance to tip off whoever you want, or else I’ll kick you to pieces and make you a eunuch for the rest of your life.”
Fat Ye Kai knelt on the ground with a "thump!" and cried sadly: "The official doesn't care about Xiao Yang. We have rules here. If a stranger passes by, we have to notify the owner of Maplewood House, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
, we have no choice but to make ends meet."
"Who is Maplewood House?" Gao Yao Wuyun excitedly pulled out the musket at his waist, with a scary face, showing no anger or intimidation.
"Oh! Maplewood House is a group of gangsters. They bought the house of the original owner of Maplewood House at a low price, and then occupied that house. Our merchants here all ask them for protection fees." Ye Kai didn't dare.
Talk too much for fear of retaliation.
"How many people are there?" Gao Yaowun asked.
"Well;;;;;;there are about thirty or forty people. The mayor of our place turned a blind eye and must have joined them." Ye Kai hesitantly squeezed out the secret. Without the protection of the government, they
These merchants can only be exploited by others.
Sun Yue shook her head at Li Guolou, indicating that this was a new situation and Tianzihao's intelligence network was not aware of it yet.
Li Guolou knows the evil consequences that their Tianzihao has sown here. Many places near the capital used to be the territory of the Ax Gang, but since the Ax Gang was severely cracked down by the government, the Ax Gang members left their homes and fled near the capital. If there is an opportunity, someone will come and occupy it. A group of
Strange gangsters occupy this place.
After interrogation, it was revealed that the eldest brother of the underworld member here is named "Shaking Lion" Apsa, and he belongs to the "Xiantian Dao", a branch of Buddhism. It is a sect that is very popular in rural areas where people pretend to be gods and ghosts.
It is the "Xiantian Tao" believers who come forward to organize it. The doctrine it promotes is based on the belief in no life and old age as the main god, flaunts the belief in Maitreya Buddha and the Three Yangs, and takes Confucianism as the center, advocating the unity of the three religions. In form, it is mixed with ancient Chinese prophecies
Illustration: There is no monasticism in the organization, but lay believers who seek Taoism are called Taoists. This is equivalent to merging Taoism and Buddhism.
(This is Yiguandao in later generations, which was very popular in the north and later spread to the south. After the Boxers were classified as rebels and banned, Yiguandao became the mainstream belief among the people. It’s really “good” when you think about it. Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are three religions combined
1. What a perfect combination.) Xiantian Tao is more or less related to the White Lotus Sect. It can also be said that "Xiantian Tao" as an emerging sect draws nutrients from other sects and absorbs some of the teachings of the White Lotus Sect, such as the belief in Maitreya Buddha.
, and the White Lotus Sect are the link between the past and the future.
Li Guolou was upset when he heard that there were countless poor people who believed in this kind of folk sect. As long as the government did not characterize them as rebels and allowed the "Xiantian Tao" to spread its teachings, he could not easily offend members of this sect.
The power is infinite. Xiantian Taoists dare not rebel, but they dare to burn themselves and commit suicide. "Xiantian Tao" believers go to the government office to do this kind of thing, no matter which official is involved, so local officials are very concerned about this kind of thing.
The Protestants let it go, and as long as there was no rebellion, the "oppression of women" was left alone.
It is very scary for gangs to take on the guise of sects. The Little Sword Society is composed of members of the "Tiandihui" Hong Gang. A powerful sect can compete with the government. This has happened in all dynasties. The government usually uses "oppression of women" to deal with it.
This kind of sect, as long as "oppression of women" happens in this sect, it will be magnified infinitely and this sect will be punished to death.
How can other gangsters be allowed to come uninvited near the capital, and how can others be allowed to sleep soundly under the bed. Li Guolou touched his nose and thought about it. He knew innately that there is no such thing as oppression of women, and he also wanted to find out the "oppression of women"
Such a vicious excuse, not to mention that thirty or forty big men would gather together to be pure and devoid of desire? There must be filth and evil in Maplewood House.
Li Guolou shook his head and asked his boss Ye Kai to leave, and said: "Forget it, Boss Ye, there is a misunderstanding. I will send someone to visit the owner of Maplewood House. It was you who didn't obey the rules first. It's you who will take the lead in this matter."
I'm looking for you, help Xiao Yang into the room."
The boss Ye Kai, who was mute, couldn't help but help Yang Deshu out of the room because he was having trouble eating Coptis chinensis. He had nowhere to complain and the consequences were his own. He was upset that he didn't expect there to be a hidden dog guard outside the store.
Li Guolou ordered: "Inform the people behind you immediately that a new situation has occurred here. Don't touch Apsa, the "shaking lion" of Xiantian Dao, until we come back. Sun Yue, you will bring five hundred taels of silver to visit "Shaking his head" tomorrow.
Lion: "Apsa, don't say much, just talk about Jianghu love."
Sun Yue's thin face was serious, she cupped her fists and said in salute: "Tie!"
Gao Yaowun used to be a member of Renyi Society. Although he left this patriotic society, he hated "Xiantian Dao" from the bottom of his heart. When he saw Li Guolou walking to the backyard after handing over the task, he couldn't help but follow him and said: "Head,
With such cheap Xiantian Dao, who outside the capital will listen to you in the future."
Li Guolou took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He smiled sweetly and said, "Oh, it's already midnight. Miss Gao Yao, you are in such good spirits. You should keep your eyes open." After saying this, Li Guolou turned around and returned to the guest room.
I went to bed and left Gaoyao Wuyun to dry at the door of the backyard.
Gao Yaowun opened his mouth wide and cursed several Mongolian curse words at Li Guolou's back, "Shit beetle! What are you talking about? If you weren't rich and powerful, my aunt would have gone to another Ming Lord." Everyone listened.
Not sure what she was talking about, after muttering a few words to himself, Gao Yaowun consciously stood where Li Guolou stood just now.
Li Guolou slept on the bunk with his clothes on. There was nowhere to sleep. So many things happened on the first night out of the city. He was surrounded by snoring. It was not easy to share the joys and sorrows with his subordinates. He had lived a life of fine clothes and fine food since he was a child, and his family was beautiful.
Wife and daughter, the wealth and glory that corrupt people's hearts are at their fingertips. If he has the ideal of serving the country, he must overcome many difficulties. He has a persevering ambition and must overcome no matter how difficult it is.
The person Li Guolou thinks about the most is the Mongolian prince Zeng Gelinqin, who is a god of war in his heart. As the county king, Zeng Gelinqin can be pampered and command his subordinates to fight in a safe place in the rear, but Zeng Gelinqin is always behind the scenes.
In dangerous areas, advance and retreat together with the soldiers.
This is the motivation for him to move forward. Money and beautiful women will never taint his heart to serve the country. Men should strengthen themselves, make money, get promoted, and follow others not for fame and fortune, but to have great ideals, just to serve the motherland, the passion hidden in their hearts
It will always break out. The dark reality makes him only have sex with shameless people. Li Guolou does not want to wait until he is in his forties or fifties to be reused by the court when he is mature and prudent. He wants to become famous at a young age and use his political achievements and money to get into a high position.
Although Li Guolou has the huge power of Li Hongzhang behind him, Li Guolou knows very well that he is not Li Hongzhang's direct grandson. He follows Li Hongzhang step by step and will never reach the height of his uncle Li Hongzhang. Therefore, Li Guolou found another way to find the fastest way.
A shortcut, hoping that one day the decaying Qing Empire will be changed and the Qing Empire will be revitalized.
Li Guolou never showed the lofty ideals hidden in his heart to others. He only let others see his abilities. In the rapidly changing world, no one could see clearly, but he could see the future.
Don’t take the ordinary path of life.
He will overcome the hardships of building a shop, and he doesn't care about the strange smell of stinky feet. He can also swallow the brown rice. Li Guolou closed his eyes and his mind drifted to the big bed at home. He lay down lightly and slept so comfortably.
Fei Lingxue came out of the bedroom, took one look and turned back. She was shocked. There were dozens of martial arts masters hidden in the "Xiao Li" fleet. She already knew that he could command so many people in the martial arts world.
Who is "Xiao Li"? The fake foreign devils in the Ministry of Justice are notorious in private life, but the world knows that "fake foreign devils" are not easy to deal with. Who is it that provokes the fake foreign devils to fight? Fei Lingxue has already made up his mind, and it doesn't matter.
