Li Guolou was excited and strode forward. Behind him, Gao Yaowuyun shouted loudly: "Head, braids."
It turns out that Li Guolou, like everyone else, had his long braid tied on top of his head, and he still hasn't put it down, making others look like a reckless man.
"Oh!" Li Guolou suddenly stopped, raised his right hand, like a woman, and removed the hairpins from his braid. It was as if he was picking up flowers on his head, taking great care of them, fearing that the petals would be crushed.
With a cool shake of his head, the braid returned to its original position and was dragged behind his head.
Gao Yao Wuyun curled his lips, not daring to make fun of Li Guolou's effeminate behavior. He followed Li Guolou's example and bowed, his stature was much shorter, and went to greet the chief Bao Yiyi first. It's the same thing in officialdom. I've seen it before.
Just keep it in mind, apply what you have learned, and your great future will start from flattering you.
Li Guolou's acting skills are not on the same level as Gao Yaowun's. His smart eyes rolled with tears in his eyes. He jogged forward and surpassed Gao Yaowun's figure.
Kneeling on one leg, he performed a military salute, lowered his head and choked with sobs: "Mr. Bao, it's very dangerous here. Your Excellency is in danger, and he is not afraid of danger. He is on the front line and commands with determination, which moved me deeply. For our peace of mind, let us also
If you gain more military exploits, please invite Mr. Bao to enter the village and not stay in the wilderness for too long."
Bao Yiyi felt extremely comfortable. Others were bragging about their military exploits in front of him. Only Li Guolou thought that his safety was the most important, and such subordinates were worthy of trust.
Bao Yiyi held up Li Guolou's hand and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. I did not misjudge you and did not let the traitors escape into Yunmeng Mountain. Li Guolou, you should be the first to do it."
"Don't you dare? Master Bao should go to the village first." Li Guolou implored again, spreading his palms to invite Bao to come to the village with him.
All around are officers and soldiers who have made a fortune cleaning the battlefield and making money from dead people. As the supreme commander, he is blind to this kind of thing and pretends to be blind. What he hears is false. Even a small ginseng book can refute it and deny political opponents.
slander.
Bao, who was so smart, heard Li Guolou say two repetitive words again and again, and then looked at the scenes of officers and soldiers around him, and immediately understood.
Bao Yiyi turned around without looking around, and did not rush to comfort his subordinates. He smiled and said: "Well, Captain Li is right, let's go into the village. You didn't let the traitors escape this time. You succeeded."
You have accomplished great feats by surrounding and suppressing thousands of rebels, and I will definitely go to heaven to ask for your merits."
"Thank you, Mr. Bao!" A group of high-ranking officials stood around and paid their respects. After a bloody battle, their companions united under one flag, giving them a reason to roar.
"Go back, I'll reward you generously!" Bao Yiyi waved his bold hand and took big steps, with a great future ahead of him.
"Oh oh oh oh!" the cheering crowd burst out shouting, hats flying into the sky, venting their joy, hugging each other, tears flowing on their faces, the loyal and patriotic warriors waved the "Snow Mountain Lion Flag"
.
If thousands of rebels were to escape, how much money would it cost the court to annihilate? The last time the White Lotus Sect rebelled, Emperor Jiaqing spent hundreds of millions of taels of silver to annihilate them, depleting all the wealth accumulated during the Kangxi era.
Let the Qing Empire weaken. The Qing officials knew how difficult it was to deal with the fleeing White Lotus Sect.
"Master Bao eliminated a huge chaos without being seen. This great contribution deserves a reward." Li Guolou followed and spoke his heart out loud.
"Well, let's not talk about that now. Let's list the achievements of this battle clearly. Do you understand?" Bao glanced at Lin Qingxie, the staff beside him.
"Strike!" Several of Bao Yiyi's confidants understood. How could the rebels with more than a thousand people only have seventy or eighty guns? They also need at least more than three hundred spears. The officers and soldiers drove dozens of carriages, and there were substitutes inside.
Weapons and ammunition prepared by the rebels.
The Zhou family's courtyard was in a mess, with broken bowls all over the floor, the aroma of wine still filled the breath, and the ashes of the bonfire were piled around the courtyard.
"Hey, the last bit of madness." Bao stood together in the corridor of the courtyard, looking at the best house in Balizhuang. Now the owner "Zhou Papi" and his family have long been slaughtered by the White Lotus Cult.
"Master Bao, the contract between landlord Zhou Jietong's house and land must have been burned by the White Lotus Sect. Otherwise, I will handle it." Li Guolou whispered, who should own the house and land of "Zhou Papi" in Balizhuang in the future?
Bao Tongyi came all the way, how could he come back empty-handed? As for other ownerless houses and land, there are so many people, everyone has to sit down and divide them up.
"Yeah!" Bao Yiyi said vaguely. It was a pity that Li Guolou didn't become his staff. Li Guolou was well prepared for the aftermath, so Bao Yiyi didn't have to worry about it.
This kind of thing was done by Wu Defu in the past. Now that the old man has passed away and new people have appeared, Bao Yiyi is very happy. No wonder those ruffians are unwilling to destroy the rebel bandits. How much benefit can they gain from raising the bandits' self-respect? If the officers and soldiers come to suppress the bandits, that is
How could they gather more than 400 Balizhuang villagers back after they were so miserable?
There are some things that are difficult for everyone to say. The White Lotus Sect carried out massacres to eliminate big families, which is also a good thing for the officers and soldiers. No one will have too much spoils. But as an official of the Qing Dynasty, such unflattering words will never be uttered.
.
But Yao Cuo couldn't help but ask: "How many acres are there now in the fields near the capital?"
Bao Yiyi glared fiercely and said, "At least sixty taels."
Holding back his eagerness, Bao Yiyi did not ask Li Guolou how many acres of land the wealthy landlord "Zhou Papi" had? However, when he saw this mansion, he thought: "Zhou Papi" would not have less than four or five hundred acres of land.
Mu, what if it’s more than a thousand acres? Bao Yiyi didn’t dare to think about it anymore, he wanted to show that he was calm and composed, and smiled at the success. The smile appeared on his face, and he couldn’t take it back. He looked at the few "loved generals" under his command.
”.
"Oh!" Yao Cuo hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to speak anymore. He was not as good as Li Guolou in dealing with his superiors. In this operation, the more than 50 people he led to besiege the rebels in Balizhuang were cooperating, not
No matter how many military exploits you have achieved, you can just blend in with the crowd and receive rewards.
After the guards finished cleaning the living room, Bao Yiyi stepped into the door of the landlord Lao Cai's house. Everyone, big or small, sat down on stools and told each other about their battle experiences.
Scattered gunshots were heard in the village. Li Guolou frowned slightly and said with a frown: "Dad, the east of the village is your jurisdiction. Don't just sit there like a big boss and take care of your men.
Do you understand that military law is ruthless?"
Xing Yunfeng stood up angrily and shouted: "Stick!" After saying this, Xing Yunfeng pulled out his pistol and cursed: "The escort is coming with me. Grandma's bear, whoever dares to mess around will be killed by me."
The people sitting in the living room glanced at each other, and Bao Yiyi said generously: "A real man doesn't stick to trivial matters."
Li Guolou lowered his head and said nothing. He had seen his companions killed in battle and sacrificed in front of him. Some soldiers would vent their anger and massacre prisoners of war. How can people be punished for invisible scenes? Military law is ruthless and must catch active criminals. The only way is to restrain them.
Detective, the yamen officer is the best at manipulating people. He says that the enemy is stubbornly resisting where he can't see him. How much can you do to him?
"Well, Mr. Bao is compassionate and has made countless merits. He has saved so many villagers. This bandit suppression must be engraved on a monument to let the world know that peace is hard-won. The martyrs who died should be buried at the foot of the green mountain so that future generations will always remember them.
The meritorious service." Lin Qingxie, the staff member, characterized this operation and waited for the officers and soldiers to catch the rebels hiding in the dark corners one by one.
"Well, Mr. Lin is thoughtful, and the warriors can feel at ease now." Li Guolou did not forget to praise the newcomer Lin Qingxie, saying that in order to get along well with him in the future, he should get closer and closer now.
Gao Yaowun walked into the living room with two children, Haiwa and Hulu. Before the adults could ask questions, Haiwa pointed at Li Guolou, jumped up excitedly, and said in a sharp voice: "Hulu, this is
Mr. Zhuge is here to enlighten me."
Everyone burst into laughter not knowing why, but Li Guolou said seriously with a straight face: "Don't I look like Zhuge Kongming? Pretending to have a beard is no different from Mr. Zhuge."
Li Guolou stood up, stepped forward and stroked Haiwa's bald head, made an intimate gesture, and said with a carefree smile: "Don't laugh at Haiwa, he is a simple child, and he was almost deceived by the Hokage. From now on, he will
Just follow me. My French lover Yelia is going to open a "Yelia Charity Hall", and I will take in all the orphans here." He then said: "Haiwa, will you follow Mr. Zhuge from now on?"
"Okay! Mr. Zhuge, there is brother Calabash here." Eva believed the truth and did not see through Li Guolou's background. An innocent smile hung on her face. Mr. Zhuge did not lie to him. He really wanted to take him to the capital to "cultivate immortality."
”.
"Don't worry Haiwa, I've taken care of all the orphans in the village." Li Guolou touched the gourd with a bunch of hair on it again, and the sadness flowed in his heart. This lowly person doesn't even have a name. How many people's fate can he change?
Except for Bao Yiyi, who knew about Li Guolou's feat, everyone else heard about it for the first time. I wonder what Li Guolou was thinking in his heart? People who are seeking fame are not willing to do such a thankless task as "Charity Hall"
Li Guolou was full of food, and they all shook their heads in disapproval of Li Guolou's move.
He was not interested in Li Guolou's "Yeliya Charity Hall", but he was very interested in why Haiwa called Li Guolou "Mr. Zhuge". Bao Yiyi said suspiciously: "Captain Li, why did Haiwa call you Zhuge?"
Sir, what did you deceive the child about?"
"Hey hey hey!" Li Guolou was a little embarrassed to speak, so he changed the topic and said: "This is the secret between Haiwa and I."
"Captain Gao Yao, tell me!" Bao Yiyi pointed at Gao Yao Wuyun, he was the "Master Detective Bao". One look at Gao Yao Wuyun with a smile on his face and he knew who knew the secret of Li Guolou.
"Zha!" Gao Yao said with a bright smile, "Master Bao, that Haiwa is a sheepherder. He was bribed by the Hokage. He is herding sheep on the hillside in the north of the village. There is also a message tree to inform the rebels in the village yesterday.
In the evening, we were captured alive by our outpost Xiao Bangzi. Captain Li said that such poor children who have been tortured by the White Lotus Cult are still
I can't persuade you by relying on official power and speaking out of truth. Only if it is more magical than the White Lotus Sect, Haiwa can be used by me. Captain Li performed a few magic tricks and released Haiwa back to the village. Haiwa is a good person
That way, he didn’t betray us and let the rebels still stay up all night having a bonfire party, so Captain Li is willing to adopt him.”
"Oh, Mr. Zhuge, you can also do magic." Bao Yi glanced at Li Guolou, and his teasing tone caused the whole room to burst into laughter.
"Yes!" Li Guolou suddenly waved a fan, a graceful movement, and a skill that no one could match with his bare hands.
"You, you, you;;;;;;" Lin Qingxie, the staff next to him, was speechless. He was a nerd who didn't listen to what was going on outside the window. He stayed in the yamen all day, thinking that Li Guolou, a fairy-like figure, could really do anything.
Grabbing objects from the air. Isn't it like the White Lotus cultists who sell their souls to ghosts and gods? They are treasonous and unethical people.
"Mr. Lin, don't make such a fuss, Xiao Lizi likes to confuse people." Bao Yiyi shook his head and sighed. Lin Qingxie, the staff member, had only just been promoted. He didn't understand many things and would need to be taught more in the future.
"Oh;;;;;;" Staff Lin Qingxie raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, which made people laugh.
Yao Cuo looked at this scene and was secretly happy. Wu Defu's downfall was great news to him. One of the people above him was the "bookworm" Lin Qingxie who was sitting in the court, and the other was the "little husband" Zhu Danyu with superficial official experience, and he happened to
Take this opportunity to consolidate Tianzihao's territory and win the hearts of the people. Thinking of the happy things, Yao Cuo can't sit still and can't help but say a few words.
"Hokage, how come we haven't been caught yet!" Yao Cuo shouted at an inappropriate time. The biggest rebel leader, "Hokage", was not caught. He was neither alive nor dead, which made them restless. They couldn't even serve a celebratory drink.
Li Guolou said solemnly: "Master Bao, let me go out and take a look. The Hokage can't escape."
"Go, I'm waiting for your good news." Bao picked up the tea cup together, with an unmoving expression like heavy snow pressing down on the green pine trees. He could still bear this pressure, although his heart was already about to jump into his throat.
.
Gao Yao Wuyun followed Li Guolou out of the Zhou family compound, looked at Li Guolou heading north, and couldn't help but asked: "Boss, do you know where the Hokage is hiding?"
Li Guolou didn't look back and said, "I know!"
"I didn't tell you earlier if I knew it!" Gao Yao Wuyun grunted with great dissatisfaction, already classifying Li Guolou as one of the "Zhuge Tiezui" who could pinch him.
