The night was deep. Li Guolou took Zhen Yuhuan and Chu Xiangyu into the room to engage in egalitarianism. Mayuzi went back to the room to sleep. Chen Xiangfang, Xie Xiuzhu, Yelia, and Xie Liya. The four of them played poker in the living room with the help of alcohol.
The four of them were talking and laughing. They can sleep in tomorrow and prepare to play cards until midnight.
Chen Xiangfang touched the cards and said: "I said it's good to have more people at home. It's great to have fun together. In the past, I called it hard. I had to do the laundry and dishes and coax the children. Now there are people doing it. We just need to make Xiaolou happy.
That’s fine.”
Xie Xiuzhu said: "Xiaolou is smart. He managed Zhen Yuhuan. From now on, we will blend in with the princes and nobles in the capital. Business will go smoothly this year. Grandma, you just need to make those ladies happy. I will take care of making money."
"
Jelia said: "Grandma, you can give those noble ladies more sweetness. You won't lose much by giving them red wine. Let Xiao Liuzi kill them, and they can eat for a year."
Xie Liya asked: "Then how much money can I share?"
Xie Xiuzhu glanced at him and said, "Let your brother buy a house in Shanghai within three years."
"Oh." Xie Liya was very happy after hearing this. Her parents lived with her brother in the British Concession in Shanghai. She wanted to subsidize the money from her private house to her family.
"Hey..." Chen Xiangfang sighed and said: "I haven't been so happy for a few years. When you have children, you will have to fight for the family property. It's really because you have a good life and come out on top. We will become better in the future.
We’re unfamiliar. We won’t play together like this anymore.”
Xie Xiuzhu said, "Grandma, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Rich families don't raise their own children. As long as the big tree like the small building doesn't fall, we can play together for twenty years."
"I want thirty years." Yelia corrected Xie Xiuzhu. This was the agreement between her and Li Guolou.
"Kekekeke." The four grandmas laughed unbridled together. They were not afraid of waking up others. They held their hands together and shouted: "Come on. Work hard."
The four people shouted loudly on purpose so that Li Guolou upstairs could hear them. In the main building, apart from the old lady who was waiting, they were all Li Guolou's family. So they dared to say anything without restraint. They were still laughing loudly in the middle of the night.
Three black figures appeared outside the back door of the Wei Mansion. They were all masked and dressed in black. They climbed up the high wall with flying claws in their hands. They were as flexible as apes and jumped into the house with light movements. They were all kung fu masters.
He was armed with a short-barreled flintlock gun and a big knife stuck in his back. The White Lotus cultists hated Li Guolou to the core and wanted to get rid of him quickly. Miao Qiaowei, the senior brother of Hokage Hua Dandan, personally led two junior brothers and wanted to come.
Solve Li Guolou.
The big black dog in the outer courtyard was greedy. He was poisoned and collapsed in the yard. Miao Qiaowei's eyes were shining in the dark night. He looked for a path straight into the inner house. A red wall more than ten feet high blocked the way. Miao Qiaowei looked up.
He glanced at him, sneered, waved and threw up the flying catch in his hand.
Fei grabbed the top of the wall firmly. Miao Qiaowei was the first to climb up. He looked around at the scene in the inner house. There were lights flashing in a pavilion. The lights upstairs were dim and the lights downstairs were bright. Miao Qiaowei's nose was filled with tears.
He made a hissing sound. Li Guolou was still doing it at this late hour.
The white cat asked: "Elder brother, just go up and kill Little Plum."
"Yes." Miao Qiaowei replied in a low voice. He bent forward and ran straight to the main building, preparing to climb upstairs and kill the naked Li Guolou directly.
The three figures were getting closer and closer to the main building. The flying grab in Miao Qiaowei's hand was ready to hook onto the guardrail upstairs.
"Ding bell bell." A bell rang. Miao Qiaowei touched something under his feet. The alarm bell used to prevent thieves rang. Miao Qiaowei knew that something was wrong. His whereabouts were discovered. It was late, but it was faster. He reacted quickly and kicked the door to the living room. In desperation, he changed the target of his attack. He no longer went upstairs but prepared to kill the people in the living room.
The kung fu master's kicks were full of strength. With a "bang bang" sound, he kicked the wooden latch of the door off. The door opened and he came face to face with the four women inside.
Three masked strong men rushed into the door. Four women stood at the table in fear.
Chen Xiangfang asked anxiously: "What do you want to do?"
"Hmph. I want to rape first and then kill." The masked guest Miao Qiaowei raised his right hand and grabbed the handle of the knife on his back. If he could solve the problem without shooting, he would not shoot. He killed four unarmed women. The three of them did not use it. One round. As for whether they can kill Li Guolou, it depends on whether they have a chance to rush upstairs. The three masked men all held big knives in their hands. Looking at the four women was like looking at four dead chickens.
"Oh. I'm willing to take off my clothes." Xie Xiuzhu pulled the belt. A cotton robe fell to the ground. There was only a red bellyband inside. The small and exquisite figure caught the eye. The three masked guests were all stunned for a moment.
"Bang." There was a sound. The musket in Jelia's hand went off. The barrel of the gun was emitting white smoke. He faced the nearest masked man. He could hit the masked man in one shot without aiming at a distance of ten steps. He was hit in the chest. The man fell back and a stream of blood came out of his chest.
"Bang. Bang." Two gunshots were fired in succession. Chen Xiangfang and Xie Liya also had two muskets in their hands. There were actually four short-barreled flintlock guns hidden under an Eight Immortals table.
The third senior brother nicknamed "White Cat" lowered his head and looked at the two bloody holes in his body. He covered the wound and shouted: "Senior Brother, I've been shot." After saying that, he fell down at the door of the living room.
Chen Xiangfang pulled out a sword from under the table. She looked at the masked man who was pointed at by Xie Xiuzhu and said: "Second Grandma, hold it steady with both hands. If he dares to move, I'll shoot you. You're welcome."
"I know. Showing your body to them is not in vain." Xie Xiuzhu, holding a gun in both hands, was not shy at all.
Yelia and Shelia skillfully loaded lead bullets. Two more muskets were pointed at the masked man.
"Kneel down. I'll count to three. If you don't kneel down, I'll shoot." Chen Xiangfang ordered directly.
There was a sound of tapping on the door of the inner courtyard outside. There were also footsteps on the stairs. There was not much time left for Miao Qiaowei. In an instant, Miao Qiaowei made a choice.
"Auntie, don't shoot. I surrender." Miao Qiaowei, who had been a hero all his life, realized at this moment how terrifying the muzzle of a gun was. Compared with martial arts and muskets, it was nothing worth mentioning.
"Do you still have anyone?" Chen Xiangfang winked and asked Xie Xiuzhu to put on her clothes quickly. The old lady is coming soon.
"No more. Just the three of us." Miao Qiao was trembling while lying on the ground. Now his life was in the hands of four women.
"Did anyone kill someone?" Xie Xiuzhu tied her belt and asked the most important thing. If the masked man killed someone in the house, he would be shot to death. There is nothing to be polite about.
"No, no. Oh, we only poisoned one dog." Miao Qiaowei hurriedly defended. The crimes he committed were at most robbery and attempted murder. He would not die if he was put in jail. Miao Qiaowei would rather be put in jail. He was not willing to live under three muskets in prison.
There was a lot of noise in the outer courtyard. The door of the courtyard clanged loudly. Chen Xiangfang carried a sword and a musket and said, "Keep an eye on him. I'll open the door."
Li Guolou was wearing pajamas and bare feet and walked downstairs holding a musket. He was quite frightened. Fortunately, he had already acted. Chen Xiangfang's people had practiced shooting at the militia headquarters. The handling of dangerous moments was pretty good. In time, Li Guolou's fear was relieved.
After looking at the two dead bodies on the ground, Li Guolou snorted coldly in his nose. It turns out they were members of the Miao family's juggling troupe. Martial arts masters climbed over walls and ran over walls to his house to kill him. They thought they would only have to deal with him when they entered the inner courtyard. He didn't expect that he was no match for his lovers.
"You all go outside." Li Guolou sent all the women watching the excitement out of the living room. Only Zhen Yuhuan remained seated.
Li Guolou looked at Miao Qiaowei who was tied into a rice dumpling. He smiled casually and said: "Oh, it's been a long time since I saw you, Senior Brother Miao. I didn't expect that I would die before my ambition was fulfilled. I won't talk nonsense to you. I'll give you five minutes. Or Bring out the Hokage and your junior disciples. I will recommend you to be an official. Or I will break your hamstrings now. Don't worry, you won't die. You will only crawl like a dog in this life." After speaking, Li Guo said There was a dagger in Lou's hand. The swaying cold light caught people's eyes.
"You dare to abuse lynching." Miao Qiaowei screamed. It's best to arrest him quickly, and the government officials came in to save him.
"Brother Miao, your brother who was on the lookout outside has long since escaped. I still have dozens of spears here. No matter how much you call, no one will dare to save you. There are still four and a half minutes." Li Guolou opened his pocket watch. He smiled and looked at Miao Qiaowei who was kneeling on the ground.
"Come on. My junior brother will help me take revenge." Miao Qiaowei closed his eyes in a righteous tone, preparing to accept the torture.
"Hmph. Senior Brother Miao. I missed something just now. Your eyes don't belong to you anymore." Li Guolou stood up and grabbed Miao Qiaowei's hair with one hand. The sharp knife was aimed at Miao Qiaowei's eyeballs. He wanted to gouge out Miao Qiaowei's eyes. He was not polite to such die-hard elements. He fell into the hands of the White Lotus cultists and met the same fate.
His face had been stung and blood was oozing down his face. At the critical moment of life and death, Miao Qiaowei couldn't stand it any longer and shouted: "Slow down. Captain Li has something to discuss."
"Heh heh heh heh." Li Guolou looked at Zhen Yuhuan and the two of them laughed sinisterly together. There are only a handful of people in the world who can withstand torture. On the contrary, there are many people who surrender and are beaten. They usually behave seriously and act like heroes. I know that being a real hero is not easy.
The masked guest grabbed the wall and disappeared on top of the wall in the blink of an eye. Li Guolou looked at this scene with a bigger smile on his face. It was as if he saw the Hokage's head placed on the Eight Immortals Table.
Zhen Yuhuan said: "Who is on duty tonight?"
Someone takes the credit and someone takes the blame. Someone is going to be unlucky here.
Li Guolou looked at the dagger in his hand and said: "Zhen Yuhuan, go and establish your authority. You bastard, what do you want him to do?"
Zhen Yuhuan, who was well dressed, walked towards the outer courtyard. Li Guolou walked behind her. From now on, Zhen Yuhuan has the final say here. He is just a foil.
The living room of the outer house was brightly lit. Zhen Yuhuan looked around at a large group of servants. Everyone's expression was so upright and solemn, as if they were ready to sacrifice themselves gloriously for the master's family at any time.
Zhen Yuhuan sat down on the main seat where Li Guolou should have been sitting. He told the people here who would be in charge here in the future.
"Who is on duty tonight? Stand up for me." Zhen Yuhuan said with angry eyes and clenched silver teeth.
