Li Guolou and others left the French Concession in a carriage. There was a long queue waiting to cross the border. On one side was the long queue of civilians carrying burdens, and on the other side was the passage for the French to cross the border quickly. Li Guolou had no privileges and was among the docile people of the Qing Dynasty. move forward.
Vendors who evade taxes carry loads of goods every day. As long as they do not exceed the maximum limit, they can do business legitimately. When someone was found by a checkpoint for contraband goods, the vendor shamelessly said that he would send a stack of photos of **Western women to the Qing Dynasty. Guard. It is quite normal for a person to wear two gold watches. Even children wear gold watches and have diamond rings on their hands. The guards of the Qing Dynasty had nothing to do with these tax evasion traders. They would let them pass the inspection as long as they did not go too far.
Li Guolou was holding a crutch and carrying a black leather bag across his back, waiting for inspection. A Qing guard opened Li Guolou's pass, snorted coldly, and said: "Mr. Li, scoop up the bag and crutches, we want to inspect them." "
Another Qing guard skillfully opened the crutch. It was empty, no contraband was found, and no contraband could be found in the black leather bag.
"Take off your coat, hat, and shoes. We want to check." A Qing guard ordered coldly.
Li Guolou had long been accustomed to this kind of body search. He raised his hand expressionlessly and asked another Qing guard to touch his body.
"Thank you for your cooperation. Mr. Li welcomes you to Tianjin of the Qing Dynasty." A Qing Dynasty guard rarely misunderstood and said a formal speech of thanks and gave Li Guolou a military salute.
Li Guolou said with a smile: "I will come again tomorrow. I hope I won't be asked to take off my leather shoes again."
Will the guards of the Qing Dynasty remember the appearance of Li Guolou? No! Hundreds of people pass by the checkpoints here every day, and there are hundreds of people dressed as fake foreigners. The guards of the Qing Dynasty who have long formed a formulaic operation will still treat everyone A suspect would touch his crotch, and female guards would perform a full-body check on women passing the checkpoint. This was the last step for Chinese people to resist foreign cultural goods, and the burden on each Qing guard was glorious and sacred.
"Mike, you're too slow, we're in a hurry!" Yelia came up with a sweet voice and hooked Li Guolou's arm.
"I couldn't help it. I was empty-handed and people suspected me of smuggling. They asked me to go to a small room to undergo a full-body examination. It's really difficult to be a human being." Li Guolou lamented to Yelia and Mayuzi. His face looked like smuggler.
"Mike, it's because you dress too fashionably. The patriotic Qing guards can't stand your fake foreign devil appearance and are deliberately trying to trick you." Yelia has a detective's mind and tells the truth of the Qing guards' inner thoughts. idea.
"Oh, that's it. It seems that when I leave the French Concession tomorrow, I will also enjoy the courtesy of having my crotch touched."
Li Guolou wore a new hat, the same style of top hat worn by French detective Vasiso yesterday. There was also a deep wrinkle on the hat. An Indian sari scarf was tied around his neck, and he wore a French The gray coat and leather shoes that everyone likes to wear are actually crocodile leather. There is not a single fake foreign devil who is dressed the same as Li Guolou. He is going to set a new trend again.
Jeliya smiled sweetly and said: "Mike, when we come back, we will go to the photo studio to take pictures. I want to keep you like this forever. I like it so much."
Li Guolou nodded and said: "Okay, then even if we take couple photos for the second time before marriage, I will take wedding photos for the third time."
"Humph!" Jelia said: "What a beautiful idea. We still need to take a lot of photos. I also want to see the Great Wall?"
Li Guolou said: "Let's go in the spring. Let's go out with the whole family and go out for a few days outside the capital. It's too cold now and the light is not good. Then the photos will be useless and there will be no joy."
"Hi!" Mayuko accepted the order again.
Li Guolou and Yelia looked at Mayuko in horror, the killer was beside them.
Jelia couldn't hold it any longer and said, "Zhayuzi, don't rush and take your time."
Mayuko said: "Spring Festival, perfect plan, no loopholes."
Li Guolou pretended to be stupid, got on the carriage, and said: "Master Liu, how long does it take to arrive at Wuzi Dengke Lane?"
Coachman Liu Mingcheng said: "Mr. Li, it will take about an hour."
Li Guolou helped Yelia and Mayuko get on the carriage first, and the three of them got into the carriage box with a charcoal stove burning. The life of the rich was so luxurious that they even used charcoal stoves when riding in carriages. In the warm carriage, the first One thing is to take off the cumbersome coat.
During the chat, Li Guolou asked: "Yelia, which country is my master's wife from?"
Jelia sneered and said: "That barbaric woman calls herself Dutch. I knew she was a prostitute at a glance. Dutch women are the most shameless in Europe. They came to the Qing Dynasty to show off."
Li Guolou said: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten. The Dutch also had their glory days, but now they can only do this kind of export business. It is sad that they no longer have a voice in Europe."
Jelia said: "We are currently exporting labor from Japan, and there are also many people who sell laughter. There are now three brothels opened by Japanese in Tianjin."
Li Guolou said with a smile: "Poor countries want to earn foreign exchange and don't want the trade balance to be too disparate, so they can only export labor. There are too many tricks in the export of labor services. In our feudal Qing Dynasty, men can go abroad to work as coolies, but women are not allowed to export labor services. You can earn a lot of foreign exchange with less money. You, the Emperor of Japan, are more enlightened and will always come back when you go out."
Mayuko said with a smile: "History will remember the contribution these women made to the cause of Emperor Meiji, and my motherland will eventually prosper."
Li Guolou shook his head and said: "Mayuko, you Japanese have the best reputation. How can you remember such a thing? It will never be mentioned in textbooks. When the Japanese become rich, the three Japanese-run brothels in Tianjin will also It was bulldozed and buried forever without leaving a trace."
Mayuko thought for a while and figured it out. She nodded in approval and said, "Mr. Mike made it clear. I will also bury the past and serve Mr. Mike forever."
Li Guolou asked: "Mayuko, can't we get a divorce?" Under normal circumstances, he would not want to marry Mayuko, but he would forget about it if he was lustful.
"Japan is very feudal and does not treat women as human beings. Women can only be submissive." Mayuko whispered, her eyes full of tears. Where there was oppression, there was resistance. There was too much hatred accumulated in her heart.
Li Guolou said: "I'll do whatever you want. Yelia doesn't object anyway."
Jelia covered her ears, shook her head and said, "Don't say such things. I didn't hear anything."
"Hi!" Mayuko bowed and apologized. Her evil heart had already planned a perfect murder. She originally wanted to have a boy and a half girl, but now she can't wait any longer. She just wants to be with Li Guolou and Yelia. For fun, I have been having so much fun these past two days. Even if I am a moth flying into the flame, I still have to fight my way out.
Jelia said: "We French people are too lazy, and I can't stand it myself. Colonies are being lost one by one. All we can say is that the people there have been liberated, and the meaning of the revolution is reflected in the equality of everyone. It's nonsense."
Li Guolou said: "France can only follow the British and yell at them. It looks like they are wearing the same pants, but in fact they listen to the British in everything. The Germans still have character. They do not buy the British's account and put the most advanced ones first. The warships were sold to us, the Qing Dynasty."
Jelia smiled and said: "Mike, just watch, the British-made warships are coming soon, and in a few years there will be no Western warships seen in Tianjin Port."
Who wouldn't yearn for that day to come soon? Li Guolou felt extremely excited. The Qing Empire finally deceived the enemy through hard work and courage. Prince Gong Yixin's strategies to defeat the Western powers were successful! From the bottom of his heart, Li Guolou felt I want to shout, "Long live Prince Gong!"
The Qing Empire could only be saved in the hands of Prince Gong Yixin. He accomplished shocking feats and saved the Qing Empire, which was in crisis. Prince Gong won the love of the people all over the country, and all the hopes of the Qing Empire rested on it. The enlightened one lies in Prince Gong.
Li Guolou, like many promising young people in the Qing Dynasty, hoped that Prince Gong Yixin would get rid of his lover, the Empress Dowager Cixi, and kick out the puppet Emperor Tongzhi on the throne. Prince Gong Yixin would come and force the palace to proclaim himself emperor, bringing the Qing Empire into a new era. In the 20th century, Empress Dowager Cixi has long proven that she is an extremely rigid person. A female leader who refuses to be civilized is not worthy of the love and support of the people.
Li Guolou smiled and said: "Yelia, I wonder if Concubine Zhen used a beauty trap this time?"
Yelia asked suspiciously: "Which Concubine Zhen?"
Li Guolou said: "That's the Concubine Zhen we met at the British Hall last time. Don't you remember? She is a peerless beauty."
"Oh----" Yelia remembered immediately and said: "One must have two. I believe this is not the credit of one person. Prince Gong must have organized a large number of women's legions who are accustomed to fighting. Men also have a Big batch, Mike, will you join us?"
Li Guolou said: "Although I am lustful, I still stay away from this kind of woman who can sacrifice her family and children for the sake of the country. I will not join this kind of team. Either I will be discovered by the enemy and end up dead without a burial place, or I will be killed." The master will kill him and silence him. Not many spies end well, so I still want to enjoy the taste of a blonde beauty."
Jelia sighed: "Mike, you are so talented. One day after Prince Gong chats with you, he will cherish talents like you and will not let you be buried as a policeman in the Criminal Department. By then, you will not If I agree, I will be seduced by Concubine Zhen, am I right?"
Li Guolou thought of Concubine Zhen's look that could charm people to death with just one look, and sighed: "Yelia, my status is too low. If someone throws a bone, I won't bite it. They will ignore me in the future. I still want to You little goblin." After saying that, he started to move his hands towards Yelia.
"What about me?" Mayuko threw herself into Li Guolou's arms and said softly.
"There's something special about being small and exquisite!" Li Guolou said seductively, unzipping the belt of his kimono as he spoke.
It was sweltering in the carriage, and Li Guolou became lustful. He started hugging one another and kissing the other, making the two ladies excited. Time passed quickly, and the one-hour journey became very short.
