Chapter 217: A Nest of Snakes and Rats Sing Double Reeds
The fact that the White Lotus cultists were hidden in the royal temple could only be concealed. The surrounding roads were closed. Li Guolou found a painting "Snowstorm and Plum Blossoms". He was sent away by the chief of the Ministry of War. No one dared to touch the products of the royal land. A bad mind. Li Guolou left Sansheng Temple with the scroll in his arms in a grand manner. Even the people from the Ministry of War gave him face because of his maverick Li Guolou.
After passing three blockades, Li Guolou finally couldn't hold back his laughter. He had just experienced a thrilling experience walking through Guimen Pass. The sky was shrouded in haze. A heavy rain was about to come.
Li Guolou's bay-red horse was stored at Maji Cars. Jishikou is just outside the city. It is a lively town. Li Guolou led the horse and walked through the town. The town was bustling with activity on one street.
The old man Qing Geertai stood by the road and shouted: "Captain Li, you just left like this. You didn't give me face."
"Oh...Dad Qingge, your daughter is very brave and very strong. I won't eat any food. Your Mongolian food is too smelly and I can't get used to it," Li Guolou said to her. The old man told the truth. It was a rare visit to Jishikou and he was not interested in this livestock trading place. The thieves here all stole animals. He did not want to deal with horse dung and donkey dung.
Qinggertai, who was walking a little lamely, grabbed the horse's reins and said angrily: "Little Liz, don't act like a superior to me. If you don't eat Mongolian food, you can find a Han restaurant. I have something to ask you for help. It's also for your own good." .The rain is about to start. It would be bad for you to go into the city wet. Once you escape the rain, you can go home."
Li Guolou knew something. Gao Yaowun didn't want to follow in her father's footsteps and wasted her whole life in Jishikou. She wanted to work as a detective in the Criminal Department of the capital in the colorful world. There was no way he could help with this matter. Just now. To capture Master Baimei and the female White Lotus cultists hidden in Sansheng Temple, female agents were required. Gao Yaowun had already applied to him beforehand, but he politely rejected it. Now Gao Yaowun's father, Qing Geertai, has personally taken action. The horse's reins were caught by the Mongols. It was impossible to loosen them.
Li Guolou narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Dad Qingge, I will give you the face of Master Wu. Why are you so close to me? How bad my reputation is. It's not like you don't know. Gao Yaowun is so good." He's tall and mighty. It would be hard to see him being among my men."
Qing Geertai grabbed Li Guolou's wrist. He glanced at her and said, "I'm not looking for a son-in-law. No one wants my daughter. I can rest assured wherever she goes. Let's go and have a drink."
Li Guolou was helpless. He followed the local snake Qing Geertai to a restaurant owned by Han people. Li Guolou only wanted to drink a bowl of wine. It was a bowl of wine with a big bowl of tea. It was low-alcohol rice wine. The stamina was also very strong. Unable to resist the straightforwardness of the Mongolians, Li Guolou agreed to help. But he still refused to let Gao Yaowun come to work in his brigade.
As he spoke, Gao Yao Wuyun walked up behind Li Guolou, patted Li Guolou on the shoulder, and said, "Sir, what are you talking about?" After saying that, he sat down carelessly and acted like a man, pouring wine and eating vegetables.
"Head, why is the bowl not full? I'll fill it up for you." Gao Yao Wuyun filled Li Guolou's wine bowl regardless.
"You two, father and daughter, have the same moral character. I am just a captain now and a low-ranking official. What's the point of hanging with me?" Li Guolou couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the Mongolians. If he keeps drinking, he won't even think about returning to the capital today.
"Ah, I'm talking about you. Let me talk to you. You are very famous now. I will rush to the front for you to catch the criminals. I will kick away the bad love for you. Just now I almost thought that I had fallen in love with the little nun. Haha. Haha." Gao Yao Wuyun couldn't stop laughing. He raised his wine glass and wanted to toast Li Guolou again.
"Hey. Gao Yao arrested the head. Don't mention that matter again. Keep it a secret. I won't drink. You can really do it with me. Be strict with your mouth. And don't join the underworld. The benefits are indispensable to you. Do you understand? ." Li Guolou could not stand the Mongolian attack from both sides, so he agreed to Gao Yaowun's request for transfer.
"This..." Gao Yao Wuyun frowned. Fengyan looked at Li Guolou as if he had something to hide. He couldn't hold back and said, "Boss, I won't lie to you either. I joined the Renyi Club. It doesn't matter. "
The Renyi Society was the predecessor of the Boxer Rebellion. It promoted the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. It was not banned by the Qing government. It was a semi-public organization. However, the Renyi Society was extremely hostile to foreigners. The handouts preached the rejection of foreigners and the suppression of foreigners in the Qing Empire. Drive them all out.
"Gao Yao catches the head. I will make you rich. But you can't kill my wife. My wife...oh, she is considered a lover now and is a foreign woman. Could it be that I kicked them out of the big house?" Go to the Qing Dynasty. If you want to hang out with me, just quit the Renyi Society. This matter is not negotiable. You can decide it yourself." Li Guolou glanced sideways at Gao Yao Wuyun next to him, a silly Mongolian girl with an unpleasant appearance. Men like it. No wonder they become older unmarried young people.
"Okay. It's so refreshing." Gao Yaowun saw Li Guolou rolling his eyes at her and hurriedly laughed and said, "Oh, I'll drink it myself."
Gao Yaowun likes to solve crimes. He has heard too much about Li Guolou's deeds. He wants to follow Li Guolou to succeed. He will never achieve anything in a small town. He is wasting his years and delaying his youth. Maybe he can find a good man when he gets to the capital. This little ninety-nine Gao There was also Yao Wuyun. She admired Li Guolou's cheeks. She was half drunk with pride. She hoped that the rain outside would not stop. It would be best to sit next to Li Guolou.
"Head, when will the order come down?" Gao Yaowun asked while eating. There was nothing feminine about it.
"I don't know. Next month. Don't follow me now. I don't have a place for you to sleep." Li Guolou is also wary of women who are not feminine. Boxing exercises have made his chest muscles full. Women like to touch him. A few clicks. "Head. Then let me go to your restaurant today to get four roast ducks. I heard that your roast duck is very good. Won't you say you'll do me a favor? Let's set off now." Gao Yaowun was embarrassed. Asking for money and using underhanded tactics. After staying in the yamen for such a long time, I have become familiar with the tricks of taking advantage of others.
Li Guolou glanced at Gao Yao Wuyun angrily and said: "Gao Yao arrested the boss and transferred the work. You should give me money. Do you understand the rules?"
"Hahahaha. Head, I've heard everything about you. Otherwise, why would I be shameless enough to mess with you?" Gao Yaowun revealed the secret. He proudly picked up the wine bowl and toasted to her father, Qing Geertai.
"Don't cause trouble for me. Those female detectives, don't stand up for them. Others will think I have bad intentions." Li Guolou reluctantly took out a piece of silver to seal Gao Yao Wuyun's mouth. He was very concerned about the strength comparison. He still admires Gao Yao Wuyun quite a lot. This Mongolian girl is born with magical power. She stands beside him like an iron tower. She can block countless rotten peach blossoms for him.
"Xiao Lizi, when will you become rich? I will look after the stable for you." Qing Geertai drank with a smile. She took the money one step ahead of her daughter. She imagined that when Li Guolou became famous, by then he would You can also get some light.
"Oh... the stable." Li Guolou's mind drifted to the house he was renovating. He didn't know when the house renovation work would be completed. His wife, children, and family support. So many things made him frown and stressed. It has never been so big before. I just threw it away and gave away a month's income. I wanted to dig a hole in the ground and steal the money in the ticket number. Li Guolou looked at the rainy eaves. All he thought about was money. Traces.
Li Guolou ate the food with determination. He looked at the raindrops outside the door and prepared to leave when the rain subsided. The fate of a rotten peach blossom. Zhen Yuhuan, a rotten peach blossom, made him compete head-on with the Tang Sect. A rotten peach blossom was picked in the month. Xian (Chu Xiangyu) taught him magic tricks to save him. Li Guolou also wanted to return the favor. Thinking of the two women, Li Guolou couldn't sit still.
"Boss, the horse at my door has been stolen." A diner ran to the horse-tying area at the door and came back, yelling at the shop owner.
The owner of the shop said anxiously: "Sir, where is your brand? Our horse watcher gives the horse based on the brand."
The diner was rummaging around in his pockets. When he entered the store, the sign given to him by the waiter was stolen.
The shop owner spread his hands and said with a helpless look on his face: "Sir, it was you who took off the sign. You can't blame our shop for not fulfilling its responsibilities."
A horse costs less than twenty or thirty taels of silver. How long will it take to earn back the money after losing two horses? The diner and his friend were so anxious that they didn't know what to do. They stood aside and complained to each other. They persevered in searching for the money. A terrible sign.
The theft occurred right next to the three old and new detectives. Qing Geertai and Gao Yao, Wuyun couldn't bear to lose face and stood up.
Gao Yaowun stepped forward, took out his belt, and said, "What's going on? I'm the catcher. Don't argue, both of you. Tell me what happened."
The two diners chatted about the cause and effect. They quarreled and blamed each other. They argued about whose hand the sign was lost.
Qinggeltai shouted: "You two, stop arguing. My daughter is an expert at tracking footprints. I promise to find your horses. If you continue to argue like this, the horses will have disappeared long ago."
"Dad, it's raining heavily outside." Gao Yaowun complained. The implication was that she had no motivation to hunt down criminals.
A fat diner took a look at the name on the waistband. He hurriedly patted his chest and said: "Gao Yao Wu Yun catches the head. I'm sorry to trouble you. We business people know the rules. It's raining so hard. I'll add another percent." 5. Please be sure to find the two horses."
"Here... head. Lend me your horse. You can go to Ma Ji and rent a carriage and go back. I'll return your horse to the Ministry of Punishment soon." Gao Yao Wuyun spread his hands and ordered Li to get up. Guolou.
"Oh." Li Guolou didn't think much about handing the horse sign to Gao Yaowun. He also felt that he was out of position. He boasted that he was a "magic catcher". The thief took action right next to him, and he didn't even notice it.
Gao Yao Wuyun put on his raincoat, raised his hands and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh. I will definitely catch the thief." After saying that, Gao Yao Wuyun walked out of the restaurant in the heavy rain, and stepped out of the threshold with great pride.
Li Guolou praised: "Dad Qingge, your daughter has not disgraced you."
"Of course. If my daughter can't even find two horses, don't be a policeman." Qinggertai stroked his white beard and looked at the gray street with squinted eyes.
After the banquet dispersed, Li Guolou thanked Qinggeertai for lending him an umbrella. He held "Plum Blossoms in Snow and Storm" under his arm and walked toward Ma Ji Carriage alone.
He was thinking about what had just happened. Although he drank more than a bowl of rice wine, his mind gradually became better. He suddenly remembered, "Oh, it turned out to be a game." Li Guolou came to his senses. What a little thief. He was Gao Yao. There is a nest of snakes and rats raised in Wu Yun's house. This is Gao Yao Wu Yun's territory. How can a little thief commit a crime behind the arrest of the leader? He is not asking for his own death.
The father and daughter sang a double act, and actually did it in front of him, so that he could know that the livestock market at Jishikou was inseparable from the guards of the father and daughter. Li Guolou smiled, shook his head and sighed. People like it. Act like a boss.
