The aroma of meat, vegetables, and wine wafted from the living room, and the sumptuous banquet was about to begin. The living room, living room, and dining room of the Zhou family compound were filled with tables and benches. Officers and soldiers stepped across the threshold and took their seats casually.
.
Five pretty women passed by, attracting countless salivating glances from all around. Li Guolou smiled and said: "Hei Zhuzhu, look at how popular you all are. From now on, be a good person and don't be fooled by others again."
You lied, your husband has no future, find a new man with a future. It is your blessing that the superior will like you. You will be popular and drink spicy food for the rest of your life. Don’t be discouraged if the superior does not like you. You are the first batch of beneficiaries. I am the first batch of beneficiaries.
I keep my word and I won't treat you badly. It will definitely be ten times better than those who are kept in the cowshed."
Hei Zhuzhu nodded knowingly and said loudly: "Oh, Captain Li, the people are completely dependent on you. I will entrust you with the rest of my life."
Laughter erupted from the side, and random strange words came one after another. Li Guolou was furious, his slender eyes scanned the crowd, and he stood still and looked at the speaker. The murderous power was still there, and the courtyard immediately became quiet.
surprisingly.
"You are all here to drink for me. You are not drunk yet. Why are you so drunk?" Li Guolou was like a general giving orders. The officers and soldiers in the yard who had received their silver rewards twitched the muscles on their faces in embarrassment. They wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
He smiled and went into the room to drink.
"Captain Li, let them line up here." Lin Qingxie made an invitation gesture with both hands, inviting the five women to receive the twenty-tael silver reward with a bright look on his face, and looked at the five women up and down with his sneaky eyes.
Li Guolou nodded slightly and said: "Hei Zhuzhu lined up to receive the money. Don't be shy like a little girl. The ups and downs in life are normal. Don't struggle with money. You can't live a good life without money. Come! Give first.
Sir, bow and be sweet, you won't suffer any loss."
"Thank you, sir!" "Thank you for the reward, sir!" "Sir, please take good care of me in the future!"
The five women thanked Lin Qingxie and bent down to express their gratitude to Lin Qingxie who handed them the silver ingot. Li Guolou stood behind them, winked at Lin Qingxie and asked Lin Qingxie if he had any women he liked.
One woman received one more silver ingot than the others. Li Guolou nodded with understanding and told Lin Qingxie that the woman would keep it for him.
Looking at the five women with rich expressions, Li Guolou smiled and said: "Okay, you guys put the money in your pockets, and now follow me to see the superior for dinner. I would like to declare first that I will only give you the chance once, and you will not recognize anyone if you turn your back on me."
If you say that, there will be no good fruit to eat. If you want to eat and drink enough, but turn the table and deny people, I know how terrible the consequences will be. Give me a smile and think about the great future. You should look at life with a smile. I will tell you later
I will watch your performance and reward you if you are good."
After Li Guolou made some intimidating remarks, he led the five women to the back house, where a three-table banquet for officials was held in the watchtower.
Li Guolou stopped at the entrance of the original door, turned around and said: "Gao Yao is the head hunter, you will be sent here, and I will fight with you for wine later. Hahahaha!"
Gao Yaowuyun watched Li Guolou turn into the watchtower and was so angry that he couldn't say anything. Li Guolou made good use of her and wouldn't even let her attend the banquet. What does it matter? The man called her brothers at the banquet without distinguishing between them.
Well. Gao Yao Wuyun left unwillingly, muttering greetings to Li Guolou's family.
Unlike at lunch, the serious atmosphere at the banquet was gone. Bao stood up first and spoke, saying something touching, and then started eating and drinking.
Li Guolou sat at a table with five women, picked up his chopsticks, and said, "Okay, you guys will eat some food first to satisfy your hunger. Later, I will toast the superior, be more relaxed, and think about the future."
The five women had been hungry all day, so they picked up their chopsticks and ate. Country women didn't understand the rules at the dinner table. Li Guolou didn't care about them, and he puffed up his cheeks to eat and drink. He sighed in his heart that life is tiring! Those who can do more work, even this kind of work.
Everything is done by one's own hands.
People at the other two tables were laughing and laughing, and those waiting to attack were scratching their heads and scratching their heads, eager to try something new. Li Guolou was half full, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "Come on, five eldest ladies, have a drink. Today
If you have wine, you will get drunk today. I would like to offer you a glass of fine wine. You will feel bored after one sip!"
After Li Guolou drank three glasses of wine, he nodded to the people next to him and was ready to make a big fuss in Pansi Cave. He had done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and the next matter of opening a room and moving into a shed was no longer his business.
Li Guolou was sitting still, and all the old men beside him had been replaced. They also moved with his bag and sat next to Li Guolou, a table full of people chatting.
Yao Cuo sat next to Li Guolou and sighed: "It's better for us to emerge from the mire and remain untainted. Come! Cheers to our pure and pure souls!"
The gentlemen at one table laughed at the scene at the other two tables, stood up together, raised their glasses, and congratulated: "Do it!"
Bao put down his wine glass together and said with emotion: "Captain Li, you are actually suitable for negotiation, your words are magical, and everyone likes to listen. There are more than a dozen die-hards in the bullpen. Do you think it is better for me to bring them back, or for you to do the ideological work?"
"
Li Guolou rolled up his sleeves and said: "Master Bao, I'll do it. Someone will show up tomorrow to speak out, and the die-hards will also figure it out. What's the point of being imprisoned? If you're sent to the army and sent to the army, it'll be easier for the border guards who are herding sheep."
, we didn’t get much benefit. Brothers, don’t you think so?”
"Yes!" The five officials next to him responded with smiles on their faces.
Bao Yiyi looked at their ugly appearance, frowned, and said: "Master Wu, you are almost drunk. You have to leave early tomorrow to rest."
"Zha!" Wu Kefan took the lead and led a woman inside. What happened next was that all five women disappeared, and the living room immediately became deserted.
Artillery officer Fan Ye sighed: "Think about how nice those rebel places are. There is no shortage of anything. Zuo Zongtang's men and horses can fight, and there must be brave men under the heavy rewards. Like us staying near the capital.
If you can't even catch it, how much can you eat if you don't eat enough? In the future, I must go to the front line and become a eldest lady in the city."
Li Guolou drank too much and rolled his tongue and said: "Yes, soldiers want the world to be in chaos. How much benefit can they gain from raising bandits to respect themselves? What can we gain by litigating? Stay at the foot of the imperial city.
, clear soup with little water, it’s better to eat it in the barracks.”
Fan Ye felt comfortable listening and raised his glass: "Well, good little plum, let's get closer and closer in the future, and we will get rich easily."
Li Guolou stood up, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Thanks to Captain Fan a lot, I can make a great journey with thousands of miles of clouds and a thousand winds with thousands of waves!"
Fan Ye drank it all in one gulp and said loudly: "The tiger of the Criminal Department is both civil and military. I am so impressed that I am so impressed. Brothers, should we toast Xiao Lizi another glass of wine?"
"Then I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha. I would like to offer you a drink first, wishing you a prosperous New Year, a scorching midsummer, a fast and hot golden autumn, and a prosperous winter." Li Guolou flattered everyone and did not forget to show off his quick thinking.
Bao Yiyi listened comfortably and happily. He was very satisfied when he saw that Li Guolou had a tight mouth and continued to persuade him to drink. He was the highest official. If he took a sip of wine, others would drink it up. He made the people at the table stagger around and become drunk.
.
Li Guolou fell with the trend even when he was not drunk. After seeing too many drunken faces, he learned everything. However, he was too tired and fell asleep unconsciously as soon as he lay down. The thing that came to his mind the most was, don't be too happy to be sad.
The people took over the lair, and more than 400 officers and soldiers allowed the White Lotus Sect to be wiped out.
In the middle of the night, Li Guolou was woken up by urination. He walked out of the room to urinate. He saw the lights in Bao Yiyi's room upstairs still shining and a figure walking back and forth at the window. Not only did he feel sad for Bao Yiyi, but he also felt uncomfortable and painful about being betrayed by his good brother.
He ruthlessly made Bao suffer the torture together. This scene touched Li Guolou's emotions, and he couldn't sleep. He sat at his desk and wrote furiously, writing letters to his family.
"To Xiaofang:
Everything is well at home. I miss you all, especially my daughter Lingling. I have to stay in Balizhuang for a while, so I asked Wu Su to come. I have a family business here and I want him to take care of it. I can also see the Great Wall. I thought it would be the best time to go for an outing.
Good times, I was drunk today, but I didn’t throw up;;;;;;”
Li Guolou wrote tens of thousands of words eloquently to pass the boring night. His love for his family was revealed between the lines. He implicitly told his family that he had made an unexpected fortune and made a list of many daily necessities he needed to buy.
In fact, he was suffering in his heart and did not dare to think about Wu Defu. The brothers turned against each other. This happened to him, which made him realize the cruelty of reality. He became more determined on where to go in the future. Making money is only a means, not an end. He
We want to make Balizhuang an ideal village, return the benefits to this land, let the villagers here live in tile-roofed houses, and be allocated land.
Sometimes labor pains are unavoidable. Li Guolou agrees with the White Lotus Cult's practice of killing landlords and old wealth. Concentrating land in the hands of one person will cause a prairie fire, burning all over China. If the land problem is not solved, farmers will not have a chance to succeed. Every dynasty
After allocating land to farmers, after a few generations, the land will be concentrated in the hands of a few people. The poor will get poorer and the rich will get richer. Two thousand years of feudal history is a history of land annexation and redifferentiation. It is a cycle of death.
, Li Guolou saw the crux of the problem, but had nowhere to start.
Li Guolou put down his brush, sat in a daze, clasped his head with his hands, and looked out the window at the dim sky. There was nothing wrong with industry saving this road. The fast-moving train is a symbol of civilization and the driving force for history to move forward. There is no
People block the pace of the industrial revolution. But what about agriculture? Who will help the three hundred million farmers?
Li Guolou seemed to see the black mass of skinny farmers, smashing machines, trampling textile factories, burning churches, and knocking clocks on churches. The Qing Empire returned to the farming era, and idle village girls continued to spin yarn on spinning wheels.
, weaving, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, with no desire or pursuit, the closed-door Qing Empire is a paradise in the minds of many people? What is most heard in the streets is the scene of all nations coming to congratulate during the heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong.
The progress of civilization is accompanied by the sadness of yellow flowers at sunset. To succeed, it must be accompanied by labor pains, just like the birth of a newborn! Li Guolou opened the window and let the first bright light from the east shine on his face. In order to move forward, he must
Someone made sacrifices, and Wu Defu died a worthy death. He will prove to the world that even the dead can make contributions to history.
Li Guolou wore a close-fitting shorts and stepped into the yard, waving a big knife in his hand. Wang Wu on the other side was also waving the knife. The two nodded with smiles. The two ambitious people had different ideas, but they had the same idea.
common goal.
"Wang Wu, do you want to pass the second move?" Li Guolou waved his sword aggressively, and the bright flowers were like white clouds shining in the sky.
Wang Wu shook his head and said: "Forget it, you fake foreign devil. Your steps are vain. I will kill you with three moves." After saying this, Wang Wu turned around proudly and stopped paying attention to Li Guolou's unreasonable troubles.
"Hmph! What's so great, people in the martial arts world will brag about themselves. How can there be a light kung fu master who can jump as high as three Eight Immortals tables? I can tell you Wang Wu bluntly, that's all about climbing up. The Eagle Claw Kung Fu is even better.
He is useless, his movements are stiff, how can he still run fast?" Li Guolou's words were boring, and every sentence was heart-breaking, piercing Wang Wu's nerves.
Wang Wu laughed and said: "Fake foreign devil, I got the martial arts secret book "Yi Jin Jing". It is the complete version, not the one published by Emperor Qianlong. Now that I have practiced to the sixth level, I have become invulnerable, and I can still catch it with bare hands in the future.
bullet."
Li Guolou sighed and said: "Wang Wu, Wang Wu, I know why foreigners look down on us from the bottom of their hearts. It's because we like to deceive ourselves and others. If we are fake, don't fake Qigong again. We boast so amazingly. The foreigners are amazed with their mouths and looking forward to it in their hearts.
We have been stuck in a dead end all our lives. Can we achieve anything by practicing this kind of thing? It’s time for us to become enlightened. Don’t harm the next generation!”
"Huh, it's a waste of words and words with people like you. It's a waste of words. I'm unscathed this time because the Yi Jin Jing Shen Gong protects the body and brings out the maximum potential of my body." Wang Wu will never speak ill of Qigong.
How could he smash the jobs of so many gangster brothers?
"Hey!" Li Guolou hid far away from Wang Wu, stretched out his fists and muscles, and spoke without speculation. He did not agree with each other if he had different ideas. If you want to talk about martial arts with Jianghu people, it is a metaphysics, and you can't brag about it.
