Li Guolou and Jin Erzi came to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Gu Shuimo's family was relatively well-off. Money can make all the difference. Gu Shuimo was not tortured in the prison. However, he was severely tortured in the lobby. There were injuries on his buttocks and fingers. He was not well. His face was pale and his movements were slow. He thought it was an official interrogation and he was going to suffer again. He looked at the two detectives in fear.
The shackles were untied by the prison guard. Gu Shuimo could hardly move his hands and feet comfortably.
Jin Erzi said: "Don't be afraid, Gu Shuimo. We are friends called by your relative Yue Lanlan. The prison chief here will take care of you. No one will come to interrogate you in the future. If you have any grievances, just say it." "
Gu Shuimo burst into tears and drooled all over the floor. It was like seeing a long-lost relative. He cried bitterly and vented his grievances heartily. He stammered and told what happened. He regretted it too much. He regretted that he should not have left. Only now did he know It is a wise saying that if a monk can escape, he cannot escape from the temple.
Li Guolou listened to Gu Shuimo's statement without asking any questions. He was watching Gu Shuimo's every move with suspicion. Criminals will tell all kinds of lies in order to survive. Some criminals will never admit they have committed a crime until they die. They will never repent. There are many people. It is not unusual for them to tamper with their confessions over and over. This is an era with limited information. Ridiculous and childish methods of committing crimes can be seen everywhere. How the Six Doors solve the case is mysterious and not publicized. The police and the criminals have the advantage in fighting each other. Of course, they can be beaten. The probability is also surprisingly high. There are countless wrongdoers. In the end, no official will lose his official title for such a thing. Officials protect each other and everyone does things based on their conscience.
After listening to Gu Shuimo's original statement, Jin Erzi sighed and said: "I mean, little scholar, you are so stupid. Why don't you burn your clothes and shoes? It's too late for you to say anything now. If my boss catches me, If you don't find the real murderer, you're dead."
"Vice Team Jin, don't talk nonsense." Li Guolou rolled his eyes at Jin Erzi. He scolded the suspects under him for destroying evidence. He said sternly: "Gu Shuimo, you are seeking your own death. You have read the books of sages for more than ten years in vain. You stole incense and jade. Was it someone who did this? You deserve your misfortune."
Jin Erzi felt that Li Guolou was talking about him. He couldn't help but glance at Li Guolou. He had studied more than him for a few years. He had a fake scholar status. He was a little taller than him. He looked about the same as everyone else. He was so expensive. The glory of the Xun family is a master of stealing beauty and jade. The second son Jin reduced Li Guolou to nothing. He looked at Gu Shuimo with a fierce look on his face.
"But I really didn't kill anyone. I still want to marry Gao Xiuxiu. Her family is the richest in Gaojiazhuang. I accept the marriage as a son-in-law. Why should I kill such a beautiful girl? Well. I would never do such a thing as a pig or a dog to rape a little girl. There are many young prostitutes in the prostitute village. I can still afford to spend this amount of money." Gu Shuimo said nothing, and brought up the matter of prostitution. He said it all at once. The little scholar looks like a human and a dog. It turns out that he has long been a master of pollen waves and butterflies.
Li Guolou was angry and funny. He wished he could kick Gu Shuimo. He scolded: "Gu Shuimo, you are a scholar, don't say such obscene words. I am asking you now, did you tell anything about your private meeting with Gao Xiuxiu at night?" Tell others."
"No, no. I rented a room at the Yuelai Inn in Gaojiazhuang. I walked out of the inn at 9:30 in the evening. I even greeted the boss when I went out. I'm not stupid. How could this happen? Tell others." Gu Shuimo swore pointing to the sky and speaking without hesitation.
"Then you walked into the dark Gaofu. Why didn't you break into other places?" Li Guolou likes to get to the bottom of things. He wants to ask questions clearly.
"Oh. There are oil lamps hanging in Gao Mansion. There is one hanging not far away. I followed the direction of the oil lamps, so I didn't rush in." Gu Shuimo was very organized. He also said that there were several oil lamps. He stayed in the prison. I was so bored here that I just thought about the situation in Gaofu. I explained clearly what I saw in the embroidery building.
Li Guolou couldn't ask any valuable information. He comforted Gu Shuimo with some kind words, and left the reception room of the prison with Jin Erzi. Li Guolou was pressed for time and quickly explained a few words about tomorrow's itinerary to Jin Erzi, and left the Criminal Department. The compound hired a carriage to drive to Wu Peipei's house.
The carriage did not go directly to Youfang Hutong. Instead, it came to the entrance of a teahouse. This is where Li Guolou and Wu Peipei met. As for their going home together, Wu Peipei's personal maid Bai Lian had already told Li Guolou's family .
Wu Peipei looked forward to the stars and the moon. Finally, she saw Li Guolou showing his head. A Manchu lady did not bind her feet. Wu Peipei jumped onto the carriage with a big stride. She only had one suitcase with her.
Li Guolou nervously closed the door and asked, "Sister Peipei, are you not being followed?"
"Don't worry, Xiaolou. No one knows where I am except the girl Bai Lian." Wu Peipei leaned against Li Guolou and let Li Guolou smell her perfume. This was a return gift from Li Guolou yesterday.
"Sister Peipei, don't think that servants are just wooden people. I was at your house yesterday and you disappeared today. They already knew where you were. There are several servants in your house. Let them all go to Tianjin from now on. I There is a factory there. Letting those few servants stay in the capital will be a trouble in the future." Although Li Guolou was frightened, people just like excitement. He was not immune. He hugged the big woman and felt happy. His thoughts changed three times a day. Now. Li Guolou no longer wants to be an official. He enjoys the warmth and happiness of his family.
"Yes. I listen to you." Wu Peipei squeezed into Li Guolou's arms. She felt extremely comfortable. She was also frightened to do such an embarrassing thing. She was wearing a veil while sitting in a teahouse just now. She didn't dare to take it off until she entered the carriage. The face towel was as exciting as being a spy. He looked at Li Guolou limply and caressed his young face lovingly.
The excitement after the excitement overflowed in the carriage. In the entanglement, Li Guolou returned to the Wei Mansion with a masked girl.
A golden phoenix flew to the Wei Mansion. All the grandmothers took care of Wu Peipei. At the banquet, Li Guolou was the emperor. He sat on the throne and smiled at his beautiful wife and concubines.
A group of grandmothers have now become ladies in the upper-class aristocratic circles. They tell them what they will wear when they go to the Old Summer Palace tomorrow. They hope it will be good weather tomorrow. They hope they can take some of the most beautiful photos. They are indifferent to the fact that Li Guolou is going out of the city to handle a case.
The topics discussed at the banquet were playing and eating. When will we go to Tianjin to buy cheap foreign goods? I heard that there are ready-made bungalows in Wu Peipeiying’s concession. They all want to go to Tianjin to play. Next, grandma Chen Xiangfang will look after the house. .Even my daughter Zheng Lingling is clamoring to go play in the British Concession.
Li Guolou looked up to the sky and sighed. "Oh my God. What I want to marry is a wife or a support group. You guys have fun all day long. Have you forgotten me?"
"Hey, Mike, you are getting married soon. We will let you live a world of two people. You have to work hard. Grandma has a grudge. You have to let her get what she wants." Xie Xiuzhu set the tone. There was nothing more to come. Li Guolou had no chance to interrupt. He could only let the lovers go shopping in the Tianjin Concession.
"Hey, our family is really strange. There are many women in the family, but we can unite together. I hope it can be like this in the future." Chen Xiangfang said with emotion. The next generation is born one by one, and this family will not United.
Zhen Yuhuan stood up with the wine glass and said: "Don't worry, grandma. I'm here, right? I'm good at managing people. From now on, I will direct Mike's harem. It will be as orderly as Wang Xifeng manages the Grand View Garden. When we get old, let Lingling Take over and take care of your younger brothers and sisters. Our family has so much business, but it depends on us women. Mike only thinks about fighting criminals. You can't rely on him to do business."
Yingying Yanyan straightens her back. This family is supported by women. Li Guolou is a little bee. It plays the role of making the flowers bloom beautifully.
Li Guolou said: "Be careful. I have encountered two murder cases in Nuerlou recently. If you have nothing to do, go to the militia headquarters to practice shooting. The male instructors there are missing you."
"Fine. Lingling is here." Chen Xiangfang asked for money. This is a matter of principle and cannot be tolerated once.
"I don't have any money." Li Guolou remained unmoved and said calmly: "I gave him two hundred taels of silver to get Ma Bing out of prison. All of a sudden it's gone."
"Mike, say it again." Zhen Yuhuan glanced at Li Guolou, squinting his eyes slightly.
Li Guolou coughed dryly and said, "Oh, I sat on the ground and counter-offered. I paid a hundred taels of silver notes."
"Giggle, giggle." Yingying Yanyan smiled and bent down. With Zhen Yuhuan at the helm, Li Guolou couldn't even think of hiding anything.
The faces are smiling one after another. They are youthful and charming. Women in their thirties are radiant. The second spring has arrived. They are all as delicate as girls in their twenties.
Li Guolou will be heartbroken and tearful in a few years. They will all be old vegetables. Now they will enjoy happiness and will suffer in the future.
Wu Peipei laughed so hard that she accidentally dropped a chopstick on the ground. She hurriedly leaned over to pick it up. She lowered her head and took a casual look. She was startled. There were several muskets and swords stuck under the table. Her home was a general's residence and they didn't have any. Such a decoration. He reached out and took out a musket. He said suspiciously: "Xiaolou, why are you putting a gun under the table?"
"Oh...it's so exciting. Sister Peipei, you will know if you follow Xiaolou. The women who follow Xiaolou have to fight and make money. We have all killed people." Chen Xiangfang looked at the red wine in her hand with a smile. .I don’t care if my daughter is listening. Killing someone is like crushing an ant.
"It's true. I won't lie to you." "When we go to Tianjin, we must also bring guns and swords." Several other grandmothers nearby nodded in agreement.
"Xiaolou, I think you have reactionary thoughts. Do you want to rebel?" Wu Peipei skillfully opened the safety of the musket and pointed the muzzle at the empty door.
"No. This is telling us that we need peace and friendship here. Otherwise, if someone gets angry, he will kill all of us. Everyone in this house must abide by the rules. If there are no rules, everyone will die together." Zhen Yuhuan Yin Shen said.
The scene suddenly changed. The people present stopped joking and looked at Li Guolou with great respect. It seemed that they were a gang. There were gang leaders, doctrines, friendships, constraints, and murderous intentions. There were killers and spies here. There are chivalrous women, poisonous spiders, and hidden causes going on. Li Guolou has made his family look like a gangster. He relies on this group of women who will not betray to create a new world.
