In the morning, Li Guolou took Barter and Gao Yaowun, followed by a group of thirty people, who looked like officers showing off their authority, and walked majestically towards Fenglin House. Among the people accompanying him was Mayor Xiejiaying.
** and several other officials also accompanied him. Sun Yue and Rong Yuan were stationed at the front to arrange the meeting with Apsa.
Li Guo Lou Lu belongs to the people of the Ministry of Punishment, while the local official records belong to the people of the Ministry of Personnel. They are not subordinate to each other, and their responsibilities are also separated. One is in charge of public security and the other is in charge of civil affairs. However, when the Ministry of Punishment handles major cases, local officials must cooperate.
Otherwise, Li Guolou added a few words to the official document to discredit the local officials in Xiejiaying, and these local officials would not be able to bear the consequences. So this time Li Guolou led the bandit suppression team back to Beijing, and the courtesy was greeted by these local governors with smiles.
Mayor ** of Xiejiaying Town and several other officials were unaware of the danger accompanying them. The group of people walked towards the gate of Maple Forest House while talking and laughing. From the outside, this mansion did not look like a temple and still maintained its original style.
The plump Apsa led several disciples to greet him at the gate of the compound. They were all dressed in blue robes and holding whisks. However, they did not have the five-old crown on the Taoist priest's head, but wore the caps worn by ordinary people.
After the ceremony, the group of people walked towards "Dongzhen Hall". Apsa was polite but not flattering, and bowed and said: "Captain Li, please!"
Li Guolou said with a smile: "Master Apsa, please go first, Mayor Huang, let's work together."
Li Guolou was walking among the people when he suddenly stopped and touched his face. His face was extremely ugly and he shouted: "Master Apsa, please walk slowly. I have an official document here, which is a verdict against Dongzhentang. Apsa
Kneel down and obey the order." As they spoke, Battle and Gao Yaowun had already squeezed into the group of Xiantian Dao disciples. Battle used his bare hands to pull the people away with his strength, while Gao Yaowun directly pulled out his revolver and pointed it at Apsa.
The thirty officers and soldiers following Li Guolou all drew out their short guns and shouted: "No one is allowed to move." The heavily armed officers and soldiers surrounded several Xiantian Tao disciples who were welcoming the guests, and the scene was a bit chaotic.
, some people wanted to resist, but with a sound of "Bang!", a Xiantian Taoist who wanted to resist was shot to the ground.
"Bang bang bang bang!" The officers and soldiers shot at the fleeing people unceremoniously. The scene was bloody and horrific. The injured Xiantian Taoist priest screamed repeatedly. One Xiejiaying official was so frightened that he peed his pants. Several other Xiejiaying officials were stunned.
He stood there, not daring to move.
"Bang!" Firecrackers jumped into the sky from Sun Yue's hand, and killing sounds rang out in the distance. Two hidden police officers and militia members rushed to Maplewood House with long and short guns. Inside, there were actually three lovers of Li Guolou, Xie Liya,
Wu Peipei, Bai Lian, they also want to get addicted to killing enemies.
The people who were watching the excitement at the entrance of Maplewood House were so frightened that they fled in all directions, leaving many ownerless shoes on the street.
The mayor** was shocked when he saw gun barrels all around him and said: "Captain Li, if you have something to say, why did you draw your gun?"
"Go away! Donkey ball, who dares to talk too much when I'm handling this case? I'll kill you!" Li Guolou suddenly changed his color, randomly took out his revolver, and fired a shot at an innate Taoist who wanted to resist.
** said nothing, lowered his head quickly, and remained reserved and solemn. What does the Ministry of Punishment have to do with him when handling the case? I have long heard that Li Guolou is the murderer, and it is true. He shot an unarmed Xiantian Taoist in front of him, and now
Just protect yourself and don't involve him in this official matter.
Being in the officialdom, I have long known that there is no excuse to accuse someone. Yue Fei was also killed on "unfounded" charges. There was no unjust, false or wrongful conviction that could be overturned in the Qing Empire.
Apsa held a whisk in his hand and remained calm, as if he were an expert outside the world. His voice was loud and clear: "Captain Li, you are so cruel. You dare to shoot at our innocent people. Who gave you the power to do this?"
Li Guolou ignored him and threw away the rolled-up official document, which had the bright red seal of the Ministry of Punishment on it. He showed it to the people around him and shouted: "Everyone, listen, the innate way is completely unconscionable, and it is the rule of human ethics."
Shameless, the evidence is conclusive. Now I have been ordered by the Constitution to confiscate the "Dongzhen Hall" of Maplewood House in Xiantian Dao. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death."
Li Guolou looked at Apsa and sneered. So what if you are a kung fu master? In front of a gun, you can only be slaughtered.
Battle kicked Apusa over and used the Mongolian trick of tying cattle and sheep. He tied up the fat Apusa with a rope he brought with him.
Li Guolou scolded: "Bateer, stop tying him up. Apsa is a master of kung fu, and your rope won't work. Cheng Kun handcuffed Apsa with shackles."
"Tie!" Cheng Kun stepped forward to tie up Apusa, cuffing his hands and feet with wooden shackles and iron ropes. But when he saw Apusa sitting cross-legged, like an enlightened monk, bursts of sneer came from his nose.
Several main leaders of Xiantian Dao were captured, and teams of policemen began to search Maplewood House. The captured Xiantian Dao believers were tied up one by one and knelt in the courtyard. In a short time, more than thirty people were arrested.
people.
Gunshots rang out from the backyard. The gunfire sounded like it was not the guns of the officers and soldiers. There was actually shooting inside. In the lobby, Li Guolou frowned and turned around and said: "Mayor Huang, do you understand your guilt?"
The silent woman was so frightened that her trembling knees weakened, and she knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "I am guilty of this. I did not check the permanent personnel here, and allowed the thieves to hide here. I was guilty of dereliction of duty.
Fortunately, Chief Li had insight into Xiantian Dao's conspiracy and was able to ensure peace. The people of Xiaguan and Xiejiaying are extremely grateful to Chief Li."
When Li Guolou heard gunshots in the backyard, he gnashed his teeth with hatred. Sure enough, the Xiantian Dao believers had a rebellious intention and resisted the officers and soldiers, refusing to be captured without mercy. He didn't have time to chat with the policeman, so he pointed at the woman's nose and said: "
I will give you a way out now, otherwise you will become an accomplice of the rebels."
** lay on the ground, not daring to look up, and kowtowed: "But please give the order, Chief Li, and I will definitely handle it well."
Li Guolou looked at several other officials kneeling in the lobby and said, "Mayor Huang, arrest all the people under you who believe in Xiantian Dao. If you miss one, your whole family will fill it in." Tell him clearly,
Don't make him go crazy, otherwise he will even dare to confiscate **'s house.
** now became more energetic, stood up from the ground, and shouted: "Sir, don't worry, my subordinates will be impartial and impartial." After saying this, ** waved his four servants to stand up and let him arrest people. He knelt down in the lobby.
Three local officials were picked out by **'s servants. The originally harmonious colleagues turned against each other in an instant. They were slapped, punched and kicked. One official who said "** takes bribes!" was beaten until his teeth fell to the ground.
Li Guolou did not see this scene. He took Gao Yaowun and Battelle to the backyard of the Buddhist temple. The gunshots there did not stop, which meant that some people were still resisting.
When they came to a corner in the backyard, more than a dozen people from the militia group were lying around, shooting into the rooms inside. Both sides refused to give in, and there was still no sign of stopping. The lead bullets hit the masonry with a loud "Puff!"
It hit the window sill and splintered wood flew into the air.
Someone shouted, "Captain Li, Rong Yuan is injured, Zhang Chengsi is dead, there are four guns inside."
Li Guolou was heartbroken. Zhang Chengsi was Wang's fifth junior brother. He had fought with him many times and was a friend who practiced martial arts together. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chengsi died here before he had made any meritorious service. Li Guolou suddenly changed his color and kicked Sun Yue hard.
, scolded angrily: "What do you do for food? What did I tell you? Why are you shooting at the rebels? How many more people do you want to die! Use a grenade to blow up the rebels."
Sun Yueyue defended herself: "But the rebels inside said they had hostages, and I heard the woman inside begging for mercy."
"Papa!" Li Guolou opened his bow from left to right, slapped Sun Yue twice, and cursed: "Donkey Ball, avenge your dead brother! If you care about people you don't know, if you talk too much, I will kill you!"
While talking, Li Guolou pointed his gun at Sun Yue. There is no humane reason for the ruthlessness of military law.
At this time, Sun Yue woke up as if from a dream. Regardless of the pain, she raised her chest and belly, and shouted: "It's sir."
Leading by example, Sun Yue took the lead in throwing a grenade. The window had long been smashed. A grenade fell from the sky. With a boom, a burst of smoke rose in the room, and two more grenades fell into the window. Riding on the thick smoke, ten
Several militia members rushed into the room. Sun Yue was slapped bloody by Li Guolou. He was the first to rush into the room. The smell of gunpowder smoke caused him to cover his mouth with his right hand. A rebel who was still moving wanted to lift his head.
Sun Yue casually shot the spear, and "Bang!" the bullet hit the rebel's head. Then the militia members who rushed in heard another "Bang!" gunfire, and the place finally became quiet.
Li Guolou looked at Zhang Chengsi, who fell to the ground and died, and shouted loudly: "Those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy." After speaking, Li Guolou picked up the deceased Zhang Chengsi and walked towards the main hall. The red-eyed officers and soldiers shouted loudly, fixed their bayonets on their spears, and killed Feng Feng.
Every corner of the forest house.
The pain caused by war is not only physical, but also mental. Li Guolou silently remembered it and shed painful tears. The official hat was stained not only with the blood of enemies, but also with the blood shed by friends.
Li Guolou's robe was soaked with bright red blood.
Xie Liya, Wu Peipei and Bai Lian passed by Li Guolou, but Li Guolou was unaware and still carried the dead Zhang Chengsi towards the main hall.
Xie Liya shouted: "Ignore him, let's continue searching, I haven't opened yet."
Wu Peipei, who followed closely behind, walked with her waist hunched over and sighed: "We are the second team. The people in front have already wiped out the rebels. It would be nice to capture a prisoner for you."
Although the three of them had no chance to shoot the enemy, they felt the excitement of being on the scene. At first, they were shaking nervously even when walking. Now, although they no longer tremble, they still maintain a cat-like walking posture. Twelve people
The policeman and six servants protected him from behind, and as the second echelon, they entered the backyard of Maplewood House. The characteristic of the battle between officers and soldiers was under Li Guolou's planning and layout, and the militia members were on the front line. As the main force, officers and soldiers fought in
Second line.
The Qing army always fought like this. Most of the soldiers on the front line were poor Han people. The Manchus sat in the center as elite soldiers. They did not use the Eight Banners children to rush forward unless absolutely necessary. As the elite among the elite soldiers, the majority of the artillery soldiers were
Most of them are descendants of the Manchus. The tactics that have formed a fixed pattern have their own reasons. The value of human life is different. No matter which officer is in power, there will be an economic calculation.
The final outcome was that the Han soldiers were increasingly able to stand alone, while the Eight Banners soldiers could only eat ready-made food and follow the Han soldiers step by step. Of course, Li Guolou did not want to let the criminal police officers and the government officials die in a useless fight.
Among them, the catchers are the elite among the government officials, and they are even more precious. Everyone has selfish motives, and the reward of silver means everything. Of course, those members of the militia also understand that if they want to live a good life, they have to fight with their lives. Different
Because of his background, those militia members rushed to the front.
Gao Yaowun was a police officer. She carried sharp weapons with her and put a pair of iron rings on the fingers of her left hand. Several members of the militia nearby saw how she used lynching to learn the secrets of the innate way from a prisoner's mouth. Sure enough,
As the "head" said, so many big men gathered together to hide their evil deeds, deep in the backyard of Maplewood House.
"Battle, you take the prisoners and we will go together." Gao Yao Wuyun turned around and ordered.
Battelle escorted a prisoner and walked towards the backyard. The other people who were searching in the backyard heard that there was a secret room and they all followed Gao Yaowun. Even Xie Liya, Wu Peipei and Bai Lian heard the noise and followed the crowd, more than four people.
The procession of ten people passed through the cloisters, pavilions, and arches.
The house in Maplewood House is composed of courtyards within courtyards, with small buildings forming independent courtyards. Small gardens are connected to other small gardens. This layout was built for wealthy families with many wives and concubines.
Wu Peipei and Bai Lian never made a sound, and followed Gao Yao Wuyun into the depths of the courtyard.
Xie Liya, on the other hand, was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, marveling over and over again and sighing: "Where are we? I can't even tell the difference between south, south, north and west."
The more than 40 people nearby were walking along, encountering militia members and police officers running around, gathering the troops. After a while, the people searching in the backyard gathered together, and in front of them was another pavilion, a rockery, etc.
Behind the half-moon-shaped pool, there is a curved stone bridge above the pool, and several willow trees hang on the shore. The water plants in the pool are hazy, and the swimming fish twist and turn, spitting out beads one after another.
But when I heard Gao Yao Wuyun yelling angrily: "Donkey ball, men with innate Taoism will actually enjoy it!" As he spoke, Gao Yao Wuyun had already opened the iron door inside the rockery and looked towards a stone staircase. There were many steps below.
A young woman imprisoned by Xiantian Taoists.
"Hahahaha!" A large group of big men let out weird laughter that shook the sky, and exchanged narrow glances with each other. They all wanted to see how many beauties the Xiantian Taoists had hidden? Will Li Guolou know the beautiful little woman like a flower?
