In the heavy rain, Bao Yiyi and a large group of government officials stood in front of the Jinshui Bridge. He was so excited that he could not express his excitement. Explosives were found among the stones removed from the bridge. There were two hidden objects hidden in hundreds of stones. Three tons of black powder.
Bao Yiyi lamented: "Hey. Order. Chen Kuiyuan, the general manager of the Zongren Mansion, should be arrested and brought to justice immediately. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death."
"Tie." A group of policemen took the order and left with fists clasped in their hands. The bags behind them were filled with tears, as if they were feeling sorry for a colleague who had become a minister in the same palace. A group of staff in Prince Gong's Mansion next to them were stunned with fright, and they were talking about each other. Whisper.
"Sir, the first team captured the tiger successfully, but two agents died." "Sir, the second team captured a dead man. Tulong committed suicide by taking poison. Please forgive me, Lord Wanwang."
News of the teams came one after another. Bao Yiyi's expression did not change. He stood upright in the rain like a towering tree.
"Report. This subordinate deserves to die. He let the rabbit run away. Master Wanwang will punish him." Wang Wu knelt down in the pond, with his head hanging down, like a defeated rooster.
"You, you, you. How did you promise yesterday? I will go back and beat you to death." Bao Yiyi glared angrily and cursed Wang Wu.
Finally, the news of the twelve teams came, which relieved Bao Yiyi's fear. He led a group of people straight to Prince Gong's Mansion and went to claim credit for the Prime Minister, Prince Gong Yixin.
The person who stayed at the Jinshui Bridge site to direct was Yuanwailang Wu Kefan. He kept shouting and shouting. He ran around in the rain and asked his men to carefully carry the stones containing black powder.
Li Guolou led sixty men who were also carrying stones. They were all excited and worried. They did not need to dismantle all the stones. They just removed some stones and took them back as evidence.
After feeling happy, his subordinates cursed and refused to do such physical work. They put three stones on a carriage and all of them quit.
Li Guolou raised his voice and said: "Lao Wu, that's enough. If there is any more, if it explodes in the Ministry of Justice, we will finish it all. Let the Ministry of War deal with this kind of thing."
"Yes. That's what I said. Close the team." Wu Kefan waved his hand. The team turned and left. The credit was divided among several families. Thinking of the job of confiscating the house, it was not the Ministry of Punishment's turn to do it. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "Hey, Chen Kuiyuan. My family property is at least two to three hundred thousand taels. No matter how small it is, we can still divide it into fifty thousand taels."
Li Guolou, who was holding an umbrella for Wu Kefan, said: "Forget it, Lao Wu. In order to survive, Chen Kuiyuan has to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver to our Criminal Department. Let's go to the British Guild Hall to play a few times."
"Hey. Now the old treacherous man has real estate in the concession. He will not die of poverty even if his house is confiscated. Times have changed. Chen Kuiyuan has a good life." Wu Kefan couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't kill the eunuch Chen Kuiyuan.
"Don't worry. Follow Mr. Bao. You will be able to buy a house in the concession soon. You will be promoted this time." Li Guolou said sourly.
"Hey, hey, the same little plum. You should also get a ninth-grade official hat and wear it." Wu Kefan felt happy. He followed the officer. No credit will turn into great merit.
"But I want to wear the hat of a seventh-grade official." Li Guolou was unwilling to do so and was jealous of the good fortunes of others.
"The hair hasn't grown yet. Don't cause trouble for our superiors. So many brothers are risking their lives." Wu Kefan rolled his eyes at Li Guolou and reprimanded his subordinates for their greedy behavior.
The two of them got into a carriage one behind the other and were baking clothes in the carriage.
"Xiao Lizi, are you going to interrogate the prisoners later?" Wu Kefan, wearing underwear, put his official uniform next to the charcoal stove.
Li Guolou did not take off his clothes. He was soaked. He just raised his feet and warmed his leather boots. He said: "I am not suitable for execution. As long as I have not broken the law, I will not enter the prison gate in this life. I will use my IQ and rebel Intrigue. Lao Wu tells you the truth. This case is a big gift from me to the Ministry of Punishment. That’s why Mr. Bao cares so much about me. Don’t think wrongly."
"Oh...hehehehe. Little plum, how did you know that I was thinking wrongly?" Wu Kefan asked in a glib tone.
"Hey, what did your bad mouth say outside? You thought I wouldn't know." Li Guolou glared at Wu Kefan with sharp eyes. Everyone had an account in their hearts.
"Hahaha. Talking nonsense after drinking, little plum. Don't mind. This is my temper. Mr. Bao tolerates me." Wu Kefan didn't care. He had the blessing of his ancestors. No one could do anything to him.
"Don't talk anymore. Otherwise I won't play with you." Li Guoshan gave an ultimatum.
"Okay. I swear I'll never say it again. You won't be able to escape home when you go back. There are so many things. If you don't interrogate the prisoner, there are still many things to do. Don't be an outlier in the Criminal Department. If you just throw away your hands, it won't be your turn to be the boss." Wuke Fan also gave orders to Li Guolou and saw through Li Guolou's background.
Li Guolou's face turned gloomy. He said listlessly: "Hey, originally I wanted to go to the Tai Da master. I was slapped several times by the Baguazhang master. If it were you, you would have been dead. About one rib. Broken."
"Really." Wu Kefan asked worriedly.
"It's fake. It's not broken, but there are always internal injuries." Li Guolou stroked the bruises on his body. Even the slightest touch made him grin with pain. "Viper" Bifu's palm skills are really impressive.
Wu Kefan chuckled and said: "Well... the dead eunuch can still do Baguazhang. I will help you get revenge later."
The two of them talked non-stop on the carriage and danced excitedly. A shocking case brought everyone in the Criminal Department together. Such a great contribution can be said to last a lifetime.
After taking a shower, Li Guolou changed into a set of clean clothes and returned to the office. It was filled with smoke. All his subordinates were smoking. They hadn't had enough yet. A group of them went out and no one was killed. So they were laughing and joking.
Li Guolou has no craving for cigarettes. He usually only comes to smoke a few puffs of cigarettes with his superiors. As soon as he entered the room, he choked and couldn't even open his eyes. Li Guolou quickly opened the window and said angrily: "What are you doing in my office?" .Don’t you see the four words "idlers should not enter"?
"I've torn it up a long time ago." Jin Erzi puffed out smoke rings and said proudly, causing a burst of laughter.
"I beg you, please keep a low profile. People from other groups have died. If they see you like this, they will hate you to death." Li Guolou almost knelt down in front of his subordinates. In turn, he bowed to his subordinates.
"Boss, we got carried away here. When we walked out of the gate with the word "di", we burst into tears immediately." Ai Hai didn't mind and still puffed away.
"Are you okay? Go and write a report for me. It's early for dinner." Li Guolou pressed hard and got rid of these plague gods.
Li Guolou polished it by himself, drafting in his mind and preparing to write a work report.
Wu Ta hurriedly opened the door and Tathagata didn't even knock on the door. He said anxiously: "Captain Li, hurry up. Prince Gong is here. You all line up to greet him."
"Ah." The writing brush in Li Guolou's hand fell on the letterhead. The half-written report was invalidated.
The middle door of the Xingbu Yamen opened. The horns sounded in unison and the troops lined up neatly. Everyone opened their eyes in excitement and looked at Prince Gong Yixin who was walking down from the luxurious carriage.
Prime Minister and Minister Prince Gong Yixin is not yet forty years old. He is in his prime. He is a little over 1.7 meters tall. Probably because he wears thick-soled boots. He has a long face and thin eyes. He has a short beard. He has a thin figure and a kind person. Smile for everyone.
On a rainy day, there was an attendant holding an umbrella for Prince Gong Yi Xin. However, Yi Xin stopped him. He braved the rain and met the policeman standing in the rain. The officer shook hands cordially and cupped his hands. He said: "Thank you for your hard work. I represent you." The emperor comes to visit you."
"Thank you for your hard work, chief." The voice was loud and clear. Everyone stood upright. Tears of excitement flowed from their eyes. A soldier dies for his confidant.
"You have fulfilled your duties for the country. The country will not forget your meritorious service. This time you can work together to uncover the vicious conspiracy of the rebels and make great contributions. I will ask the emperor to take credit for you. You must guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Again Make new contributions, avenge the dead comrades, catch the enemies hiding in the capital, and never let the enemies take advantage of them. Although the enemy's conspiracy was foiled today, it is by no means the time to sit back and relax. The country is suffering. All of you are talented people. The Qing Dynasty needs your efforts. I am here to ask you to please me." After saying this, Prince Gong Yixin took off his hat and bowed to the policemen and government officials standing in the rain on both sides. The scene was complete. Touching. Moved by it.
"Long live the Qing Dynasty. Long live my emperor. Thousand years old Prince Gong." The princes stood up and shouted. The rain hit their faces. It was hard to tell whether it was rain or tears.
Li Guolou stood in the first row. He was honored to hold the warm hand of Prince Gong Yixin.
"This is the little plum from our Criminal Department, Li Guolou." Wu Defu added in order to let Prince Gong Yixin deepen his impression of Li Guolou.
"It's a great honor. Hello, Prince Gong." Li Guolou smiled but was not flattering and did not shed any tears of excitement.
"Oh, Li Guolou, I remember you. Hahahaha." Prince Gong Yixin laughed touchingly and went to shake hands with the next person.
Li Guolou is the only captain who has no rank and follows his superiors into the lobby. There are hundreds of officials in a criminal department. Li Guolou is also good at standing at the end. He can see everyone's actions. He is a detective who can discover places that ordinary people cannot pay attention to. Li Guolou is Guolou discovered a strange place. Prince Gong Yixin's concubine Zhen Yuhuan, dressed as a man, was mixed in with a group of accompanying officials. Their eyes crossed. Li Guolou passed by calmly, as if he didn't see anything.
But things didn't go as planned. Li Guolou came to whatever he was afraid of. Zhen Yuhuan leaned close and whispered: "Mike, come and be fine."
"You are..." Li Guolou pretended to be stupid and looked at Zhen Yuhuan blankly.
"Stop pretending, Mike. My surname is Zhen. In your line of work, don't you know me?" Zhen Yuhuan made a neutral voice that made it impossible to tell whether she was a man or a woman.
"Oh..." Li Guolou turned around and left. He didn't give Zhen Yuhuan any face. This was a "Xi Shi" of the Qing Empire. He had never thought of going deep into the tiger's den. He would never betray his appearance. Even if I do, I won’t join a national-level confidential society like the Qingping Society.
Zhen Yuhuan, who was disguising herself as a man, snorted at Li Guolou's back and curled her lips. She was secretly annoyed. If she hadn't asked for something from Li Guolou, she wouldn't want to lower her status to meet a low-level captain. But... The Qing Empire had thousands of police officers. Why did Zhen Yuhuan only think of asking for Li Guolou? Zhen Yuhuan would not think about this problem.
