Li Guolou calmed down and returned to his office. Ma Dequan stood up immediately when he saw Li Guolou enter and said: "Captain Li, good afternoon."
"Hmm... don't let the horse cake stand like a dead star here. Do what you have to do. Opportunities are for those who are prepared. If you have nothing to do, go to the martial arts field to exercise." Li Guolou glanced at Ma Dequan. Indescribably awkward.
Li Guolou thought about getting rid of this pickpocket. But considering that Ma Dequan's family of more than ten people was supported by Ma Dequan alone. If he didn't want Ma Dequan, this person couldn't even support his family. So Li Guolou Guo Lou still accepted the package. There was a man in the team who was paid and did not work.
Li Guolou felt that he had done his best to Ma Dequan. He promoted Ma Dequan and asked Ma Dequan to lead a team of newcomers and established the first spear team of the Criminal Department. But now things have changed and Ma Dequan can only be an unknown soldier in the Yamen. Ma Dequan should either resign and go into society to find his own way. The most important thing for a person is to be self-aware. Li Guolou saw Ma Dequan dead at a glance. A clumsy and dull person is of no use in this society.
Ma Dequan was released from prison and returned to the Yamen. However, he was isolated from his brothers and had nothing to do all day long. He was depressed and depressed, which made him a little discouraged.
Ma Dequan murmured: "Captain Li, I have nothing to do all day now. Can you find a job?"
"Ma Biang, don't think too much about it. As long as I'm here, I'll protect you. But there's no such thing as a banquet. So you'd better be on duty and live a peaceful life. Wait until your son grows up in a few years. He followed me around. Do you understand what I mean?" Li Guolou didn't say it clearly, so he still had to ask Ma Dequan if he understood what he meant.
Ma Dequan will be useless in this life. No officer will use him. Li Guolou is now in his position. He also wants to give some benefits to Ma Dequan. When he leaves, even old brothers like Ai Hai will not pay attention to Ma Dequan. If a person makes a wrong step, he will be doomed. The consequence of Ma Dequan joining the Baath Party is that he will have no hope in this life. Unless he is the head of the Baath Party and changes his mind and returns to the embrace of the Qing Empire, then that is a different matter. He can still be promoted as an official.
Ma Dequan hesitated for a moment, then summoned up the courage to say, "Captain Li, how about I be your servant?"
"This..." Li Guolou didn't expect that even stupid people can be smart. He couldn't bear to lose face and said hesitantly: "Ma Bi, go on duty first. Wait two years before we talk. You have to behave well." I will never forget that we were brothers."
"Yes. Captain Li." Ma Dequan straightened his spine, put his right hand on his chest, gave a military salute, and turned around to leave the office.
Li Guolou sighed softly. Be a good person. Why should you join a mysterious society? The preacher can speak well and he has the ability to resist. But most people can't resist the preacher's rhetoric. Illiterate and ignorant civilians follow the wind and follow it like rain. .Swear to the death to follow those gods. Superstitious thoughts kill people.
Li Guolou saw the horror of the spread of ideas. But all kinds of new ideas and new civilizations came like huge waves. The Qing Empire was attacked by waves higher than the waves. The traditional and conservative ruling class firmly held Controlling the imperial court. Reluctant to admit the progress of new ideas. The undercurrent of the Qing Empire is waiting for the next outbreak.
"Hehehe." Ai Hai licked his face and put his head into the room. He said with a playful smile: "Captain Li, the report I wrote is okay."
"Don't let my IQ be violated. Can the report say that we already knew that the red diamond was in the mouth of the deceased? This is what we know from the criminal's confession. Take it back and rewrite it." Li Guolou did not give Ai Hai a good look. .I can’t even write superficial articles in the officialdom. I have also forgotten the basic principles of being a police officer.
"Hey." Ai Hai took it for granted and picked up the post on the table. The chief always has to find some excuses for his subordinates. Only in this way can the wise leadership of the chief be highlighted.
"Have you got the silver reward back?" Li Guolou asked.
Ai Hai said sternly: "Of course. I don't let go of hawks when I see rabbits. Hou Men is as deep as the sea. How can I not get things done at once. A total of five hundred and fifty taels of silver. One tael is a lot." After finishing speaking, Ai Hai handed a stack of banknotes to Li Guolou.
"Oh...Cheng Kunyu is pretty good. Give me an extra fifty taels of silver." Li Guolou casually put the fifty taels of silver notes into his pocket. There is no need to hand it over to his superior Wu Defu. Their brigade The men and horses divide it among themselves.
"What a fart." Ai Hai cursed angrily: "We found some funerary objects of the deceased members of the Cheng Kunyu family at Zhang Xiuyu's house. Those are worth thousands of gold."
"Oh..." Li Guolou was also a little angry. As a high-ranking Manchu official, Cheng Kunyu was the only one who could only get in and out. He defrauded the capture of the reward, so he was given an extra fifty taels of silver reward.
Li Guolou suddenly had an idea and immediately knew something was fishy. He smiled casually and said: "Ai Bald, you are really stupid. Cheng Kunyu is not so stingy. It must be the housekeeper Chang Shikuan who cheated him out of a reward. Go scare him and tell him. He'll share the benefits half and half. He'll always have two hundred and fifty taels of silver."
Ai Hai slapped his head and said anxiously: "Oh, why didn't I think of that? I'll do it right away. Let Gao Yao catch the head and pretend to be the God of Death to scare people."
Li Guolou looked at Ai Hai in a hurry and said loudly: "Vice Captain Ai, go early and come back early. Let's have dinner tonight."
"Hey." Ai Hai felt at ease. He knew that Li Guolou did not blame him for poisoning Wu Defu. There are some things that don't require the third brother Li Guolou to say secret words and give orders. As a younger brother, he must understand the thoughts of the third brother and the things of a despicable villain. .The subordinates should handle it themselves. Li Guolou should live in the aura of the God of Capture and be worshiped forever.
In the afternoon, Li Guolou sat at his desk and finished reviewing posts. He wrote the report. He blew it with his mouth and waited for the calligraphy to dry. Juanxiu's handwriting was quite eye-catching. Li Guolou Tao Taoran admired himself. He was stunned. There are advantages to being in the inner house. The more time he spends practicing writing, the more his writing will improve. One day he will be in a high position. This length of writing can be exchanged for money and a house.
Success in business. Selling official positions and winning titles has reached a higher level. Cultivating cultural heritage. Li Guolou is in a good mood. With his outstanding appearance and dexterous and eloquent mouth, he is already a successful person.
As usual, Li Guolou could not sit still. He was ready to leave the yamen before it was time to get off work. His colleagues used to work hard and work hard to get promoted step by step. This is also a trick used by most people. And he started from the Criminal Department Since the day he went to work, he had not been able to go to and from work normally for a few days. The superior could not find him. Li Guolou put on his official hat and walked out of the office.
Li Guolou had long heard of his cynicism and disapproval of his colleagues. On the surface, he greeted him kindly, but behind his back, he spoke ill of him in front of his superiors. Li Guolou pretended to be affectionate and nodded to several old scholars who came and went. .He can't call people by their names. People call him by his first name.
A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. A person who is superior to others will be criticized. His excellent work ability makes Li Guolou unique in the Ministry of Justice. He becomes the target of Bao Yiyi's praise. There are also voices of criticism. The old scholar Li Guolou's untimely behavior was recorded in the record. He also dug out Li Guolou's privacy and recorded files to smear Li Guolou. These old-fashioned people who refused to be accommodating. Li Guolou could only nod and pass them by. People never interact with each other until old age and death.
Li Guolou is slowly changing himself. He no longer wears unusual clothes in the Yamen. But he still stands out from the crowd. He exudes a foreign air. He naturally becomes a fake foreign devil in the eyes of the world.
Li Guolou came to the door. His younger brother Cheng Kun had already called for a carriage. Li Guolou showed his official manners and nodded slightly in greeting. He got on the carriage. He was a somewhat powerful person. He was accompanied by servants and guards. There were carriages to pick him up and go to and from work. But He is still not used to this kind of life. Let the servants control his every move. The space for freedom is getting smaller and smaller. Li Guolou still wants to live an unrestrained life.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Li Guolou's carriage came east to Jiangxiang. He saw the plaque of the Anhui Fellowship Hall. Li Guolou thought that five fellow villagers would take part in the imperial examination next month. He should pay them a visit as a landlord. It was still early anyway.
Li Guolou patted the car and said casually: "Master, the parking is right here."
Li Guolou held his official hat in his hand. He jumped out of the carriage and counted thirty copper coins to the carriage driver.
"Thank you, sir." The old coachman bowed in greeting. The folds on his face were squeezed together. The traces of the vicissitudes of time were engraved on his face.
"You're welcome. Labor is the most glorious." Li Guolou greeted the coachman in a smooth tone.
Wearing official robes and walking in the guild hall. People around him saw Li Guolou bowing their heads and bowing. The women were blessing him. There were also gorgeous prostitutes ogling Li Guolou. Li Guolou felt strange. There were prostitutes so early in the morning. Why did you come to the guild hall to sit on the stage? Who are the rich people who live in the guild hall?
"Fake foreign devil. You are wearing an official robe. Are you here to collect money?" Fan Dahui opened the room and saw Li Guolou dressed up. He couldn't help but blush with jealousy.
"What's wrong? Can't I come? Who called a prostitute just now?" Li Guolou stretched his neck to look at the people in the room.
"Hey hey hey." The five people in the room immediately turned into dumb shells and could only giggle.
"It's so outrageous. I went on an outing just to flirt with the little girl and pledge myself to him. It's a good thing you brought the prostitute back." Although Li Guolou was the youngest, he showed his authority as the boss and reprimanded the five fellow villagers. .
"God, how did you know we were out for an outing?" Zhu Dinghe couldn't believe it. Li Guolou knew what they had done before he even stepped into the room.
"Hey." Li Guolou sat proudly on the chair with a backrest and said with a smile: "Because I smell the breath of spring and the fragrance of wild flowers."
"Oh..." The five students suddenly realized that a bouquet of wild flowers in a vase on the table had betrayed their whereabouts.
Li Guolou's body was covered with scratches. Five students touched Li Guolou's official robe with envy.
"Fake foreign devils. Don't forget our compatriots if you do something like this in the future."
"Chief Li, can I be your master?"
"Master Li, I don't ask for much. 10% of your salary. The more bonuses, the better."
The five fellow students all joked with Li Guolou. They wished they could take off the official robe and wear the official hat on Li Guolou. The five of them took turns wearing it.
Li Guolou felt indescribably happy. His position was a false title, but his official title was a real ninth-grade official. He had transformed from a black chicken into a phoenix, leaping onto branches, standing high on mountains and making people look up to him.
Scholars who pass the local academy or state or county examinations and obtain the titles of "Student" and "Rural Tribute" are eligible for Jinshi. After becoming a Jinshi, they have to study in the Hanlin Academy for three years and learn how to be an official. Become a local official. Unless you pass the first or third grade, that is, the number one, second or third prize, the emperor will directly grant the official position. Therefore, getting the Jinshi is not a one-stop success. There is still a period of hard life to endure. If you want to get a ninth-grade official hat It is not an easy task for people who are born in the Jinshi family to go through countless hardships. But if Han people want to be officials, they can only take the scientific examination. No matter how hard and tiring they are, they still have to squeeze their heads. The dream of a scholar is the Imperial Academy. College. Find a good teacher. Your official career begins with compiling history books.
In the Qing Dynasty, only ninth-rank officials could truly enter the officialdom. Five fellow students were extremely jealous of Li Guolou wearing official robes and red-topped official hats. Secretly, they looked down on Li Guolou and slandered him countless times. I didn't expect Li Guolou to become an official so soon.
In a condescending tone, Li Guolou taught: "You five, I don't know how many times I have told you to be honest. You are good at reading and memorizing scriptures. But you, you turned a deaf ear to my words. Five people and two people Prostitutes get together. I really don't know what to say to you."
Li Guolou is so angry. Five people who are more than ten years apart in age are as energetic as twenty-year-olds. They catch two out of five in broad daylight. It is really embarrassing to the people of Hefei, Anhui.
