Before leaving, Li Guolou still went to see the escort Duan Muchun who was lying on the stretcher. Li Guolou patted Duan Muchun's uninjured shoulder and said, "Brother Duan, take good care of your injuries and don't think too much. People in the world are bound to have accidents.
The deceased was my friend, give this bank note to his wife. Tell your master Nan Batian to take care of himself and I will not visit him anymore."
Li Guolou spoke openly and openly beside the carriage and Duan Muchun in the carriage, and said something that everyone could understand. His kind attitude encouraged the bodyguard Duan Muchun, who was fighting a bloody battle with the enemy.
With a bloodless face, Duan Muchun nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Li Captou, for your help. Our Nantian Escort Agency appreciates your kindness. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask."
Li Guolou couldn't bear it. These bodyguards were all strong men, and they dared to fight and kill. After they took the wrong path, they couldn't stop it. He Shan still said: "Brother Duan, the bodyguard agency is not easy to mess with.
After you recover from your injuries, go to Wang Wu's place. Will it make you more understanding? If your master is embarrassed, just ask him to go, and a piece of land will always be given to him."
Li Guolou wanted to ask these escorts to engage in underworld, but it was better than murder and robbery. They were people who had territory and collected protection fees. They could also open brothels, gambling houses, and smoking dens. Although they were doing the most shameful things,
But this kind of thing has a national license, and there will always be people who do it, and it can be done openly, legally, emotionally and rationally.
Duan Muchun felt a lot of emotions in his heart, and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you very much, Li Captou, for your thoughtfulness. I will persuade my master to change my career, and I will thank you again when I recover from my injuries."
Li Guolou said: "Brother Duan, take good care of yourself and explain the matter clearly to Capt. Su. He won't embarrass you. Capt. Su will tell you how much money is left in the silver box. It's a pity that the big box was given to the robber."
I snatched it away, so I carried it."
Duan Muchun closed his eyes and wept silently, tasting the sorrow and bitterness in his heart. He no longer had ideals, morality, justice, and a cruel world with cruel competition. Why couldn't it be the same as before? The past world was called a perfect world. Why did foreigners want to do this?
New ideas and new culture spread
, all the evil consequences are sown by foreigners, one day the Qing people will ask foreigners to settle the general accounts. Burn the church, smash the telegraph office, rob all the banks opened by foreigners, and restore the era of relying on martial arts without guns. Damn it.
The day when Chinese martial arts determines the strength of a country and its people, it will be a perfect new world.
Li Guolou sighed sadly and got on the carriage. The rain kept falling. The rain hitting the windows made people tired. Li Guolou slowly closed his eyes.
Yelia looked at the leather bag under Li Guolou's stool, stretched out her hand to pick up the bag, opened it, glanced at it, and shook her head. Li Guolou took the property of a dead person, which made her embarrassed in front of the servants. But the two
The servant was sitting next to him. Jelia could only hold back from talking about Li Guolou and not let him touch him when he went to sleep. He was going to teach Li Guolou a lesson. It seemed too early to break up. Li Guolou was a big man respected by all people.
hero.
"Jelia, put down the crutches, do you want to hit me?" Li Guolou said with his eyes closed.
Jelia finally couldn't help it and shouted angrily: "Mike, what are you doing with a dead man's crutch? Is your foot broken?"
There was something in his words, and there was hidden dissatisfaction in talking about trivial matters. How could Li Guolou not hear that Yelia was dissatisfied with his performance that started but ended well.
Li Guolou opened his eyes and said, "Yelia, have you seen that silver box?"
Jelia nodded and said, "We all saw it. Didn't you hand it over to the local governor?"
Li Guolou said: "Jelia, let me tell you that half of the silver ingots in the silver box can be returned to the family of the deceased. Those local governors have given me a huge favor."
"Ah!" Yelia didn't believe what Li Guolou said.
Li Guolou said: "I just talked to Capt. Su for such a long time. Do you think I was talking about the case? I was negotiating with Capt. Su to ask him to return more money to the family of the deceased. When we talked about what he wanted to do later,
I paid 40%, but the family of the deceased had to pay for all the expenses, so it was pretty good to return 50% to the family of the deceased. This is the rule of the Qing Empire, and I have to hide it from the family of the deceased on their behalf.
.”
Yelia looked at Li Guolou in surprise and asked, "Mike, how much percentage would those local governors get if they didn't meet you?"
Li Guolou shook his head and said: "I don't know. In such a chaotic scene, it is very likely that the local governors will say that the silver box is empty, the money was robbed by the robbers, and they just killed a young man."
Jelia said angrily: "Is there no royal law? Aren't those people afraid of being reported?"
Li Guolou reached out and grabbed it in the air and said: "Where is the evidence? Is it in your hand? You saw it, but others didn't. The silver box is a box. Do you have clairvoyance? Don't think about it, Jelia. This is still
Embezzling money, you haven’t seen how the officers and soldiers killed the rebels?”
Everyone is curious about the war. Three Frenchmen asked Li Guolou to explain how the Qing army destroyed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and fought against the Nian Army.
Li Guolou said: "There is only one way to fight, and that is to kill. Neither side is a good person, and there is no justice. Don't be fooled by the words in the newspapers. Many of the murders and arson were done by the Qing army themselves, and they have been blamed on the rebels."
On their heads, both sides killed civilians. Especially in the rebels' home bases, like the Nanjing Massacre carried out by Zeng Guofan, no one was left alive. In a city with a population of hundreds of thousands, only about 30 children were left, and all the beautiful women were killed.
The army snatched them home
Zeng Guofan also disgraced himself, and the common people called him Zeng Shao. This is called creating a peaceful world. Without people, there will be no more rebels. This is the way to eliminate descendants. The Qing Empire has many people, and the winner does not need it.
surrender
Party, and your founding father, Napoleon, could spend the rest of his life in exile on the island of Elba. It is remarkable that half of the military merits reported by the army and the heads of the rebels were real. They were all made up of killing local people.
.”
Yelia said angrily: "What I don't like the most is you hanging human heads on the city gate tower. It's such a beautiful building, a treasure of the ancient Han people, but hanging a few heads on it is as disgusting as it is."
Li Guolou looked longingly in his eyes and said, "Yeliya, you haven't seen Jingguan yet? If you have the opportunity, you can see thousands of heads piled together. That would be spectacular. If you don't see it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"
Yelia turned around and said angrily: "Mike, if you dare to lie to me and let me go to see Guilaozi Jingguan, I will return to France immediately."
Li Guolou's clothes were dirty and he could only lean against the wall of the carriage, waving his hands and saying: "Don't worry, Yelia, I won't take you to see Beijing, I will only take you to dance."
Yelia didn't buy it, grabbed the crutch, and said angrily: "Are you going to dance with the crutch?" She was still dissatisfied with Li Guolou's greed for money and took the deceased Zhang Yaozu's personal accessories. How much money can these jade stones cost? Treasures
They are available in all the buildings, and they are a hundred times cleaner than them.
Li Guolou laughed and said: "Yelia, you know why I want to take this crutch. It's because there is a secret hidden in this crutch. Can you try to open it and take a look?"
Some crutches had a sword hidden inside, which made Jelia become interested. He twisted the head of the crutch a little, and the crutch separated.
Yelia said softly: "Ah, it's a bank note."
Li Guolou said: "Yelia, don't think too much when you see the banknote. I want to send it to the family of the deceased, not to enrich myself."
Jelia asked: "Mike, how did you know there was money hidden in the cane?"
Li Guolou said proudly: "Because I am a detective."
Yelia snorted coldly and said, "If Mike doesn't tell the truth, I will be corrupt." After saying that, he put a wad of banknotes into his pocket, turned away from Li Guolou, and turned to the other side angrily.
Li Guolou begged for mercy and said: "Okay, okay Yelia, let me be honest, I have seen this kind of crutch before. You can't be a corrupt official. God is watching you."
Jelia took out the banknote and handed it to Li Guolou and said, "Mike is not allowed to make fun of God. He must act like a commander."
Li Guolou smiled and said: "Jelia, I almost met God just now."
Jelia shook his right hand in front of his nose and frowned: "Well - Mike smells like horse manure. Edward and I will change seats. I won't sit with the stinky guy."
Li Guolou raised his arm to smell the smell on his body, sniffed his nose, and said, "Is there any? Why can't I smell it?"
When Yelia stayed with Li Guolou, he developed the habits of a British gangster, and said softly: "The big stallion must smell like a horse."
Li Guolou shut his mouth tightly and ignored Yelia. How could he say such unreasonable words in front of the servants? Li Guolou was also angry. He turned his head and looked out the window like a little man. Next, he needed a grown-up woman to coax him.
He is happy, otherwise he would lose his temper.
After a while, Yelia leaned on Li Guolou and fell asleep again. Li Guolou also fell asleep, and everyone in the carriage was dozing off.
Liu Mingcheng, a coachman wearing a raincoat, pulled the reins of his horse, with rain and tears streaming down his face. If he had known that his employer, Li Guolou, had let the murderer go, he would have driven the carriage into the nearby river. Now he is extremely grateful to Li Guolou.
Guo Lou acted righteously to save the horse racing dealer. He waved his riding whip conscientiously and said, "Fight!"
Shuangqiao Town was right in front of them, and their overnight stay in Shuangqiao Town was three hours later than they expected. The dark town was pitch dark, and the arrival of the carriage caused a burst of barking.
Yelia said: "Xiao Liu, go to the Xiaoquan Inn opened by Little Japan. It's very clean there." Then he whispered in Li Guolou's ear: "The wooden bucket can accommodate two people for bathing."
Li Guolou rolled his eyes at Yelia. Last time Yelia must have had a mandarin duck bath here with her lover Robinson. Now Yelia has another lover to have fun again, and he is already a little impulsive and wants to see the big wooden barrel.
What does it look like? Li Guolou asked: "Are there any hot springs here?"
Jelia said: "No! But there is a sauna room and a pool with ice water bathing."
Li Guolou's face softened, and he nodded in approval: "Well, it's a good place. Little Japan is the most hygienic, and their rooms have the least bed bugs. Now the termites are hibernating, and snakes have also crawled into the walls to sleep. Yeli
Ya, you don’t have to be afraid.”
Jelia said angrily: "Mike, let's see how I deal with you later. Now I'm not on the same level as you."
She didn't fight with Li Guolou in front of the servants, and still maintained the demeanor of a lady. Looking at the wooden structure of the Koizumi Inn, she thought that Mike was right again. All these dirty things were hidden in the dark corners of the Koizumi house.
