On the street, Ai Hai and Song Shixiong were waiting for the carriage to pass by. Song Shixiong leaned on his old man and said: "Vice Captain Ai, I have always been optimistic about you in the past. As expected, you have been promoted so quickly."
Ai Hai glanced at him and said, "Mr. Song, keep your big mouth in check. This is a big case. If you say one more word, you will die. Don't worry. I will protect you from now on."
Song Shixiong had the demeanor of a gentleman. He raised his hand and took off his hat. He bowed and saluted: "Then thank you very much, Deputy Ai. Please."
A carriage stopped on the side of the road. Ai Hai thought for a while, stopped and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, you are a scholar, so you should invite me first."
Song Shixiong didn't seem to hear the sarcastic tone. He said carelessly: "Oh. Then I will take the first step. I wish Deputy Ai will be promoted to the position of captain as soon as possible."
Ai Hai cupped his fists and said: "Then I also wish Mr. Song that he will make more money every day and that his business will be prosperous."
Ai Hai went directly back to the Third Hall of the Criminal Department to meet with Bao Yiyi. He reported to the superior the latest progress of the "Household Bank Bank Theft Case".
After listening to Ai Hai's report, Bao Yiyi looked strange. He glanced at Ai Hai a few times and looked over. Ai Hai lowered his head. There was no expression on his face. He thought to himself: Why didn't he think of the huge loopholes in the human body? It was so inappropriate. Another thought was that even the clever Li Guolou didn't think of it. Only then did he feel better and slowly calmed down.
"Vice Captain Ai, good job. I know it. Go down and wait for my order." Bao Yiyi didn't show an easy-going attitude in front of every subordinate. Now he showed off his authority and spoke with all his airs. .
"Zha." This is not the first time Ai Hai has entered the third hall. His expression remains calm and steady. He turns around and leaves. He bites his lower lip with his teeth to prevent himself from snickering.
"Mr. Lin, take my post and go to see Yu Shuzhen, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and tell him that I want to visit him personally." Bao Yiyi turned around and said, preparing to go home.
Lin Qingxie said in a low voice: "Mr. Bao, are you condescending? You are on the same level as Mr. Yu. You have worked so hard on this case and even visited this old fox at home. Isn't it too unfair to yourself?"
"Hey, Mr. Lin, when have I ever cared about fame and fortune? Since Prince Gong asked me to run the emperor's official duties well, I can only work hand in hand with the old fox. It's best tonight to avoid a long night and a lot of dreams. Go." Bao turned back to the back together. Lounge. This concludes today's work.
"Zha." Lin Qingxie turned and left. A snicker immediately appeared on his face. He walked with his head lowered, not daring to let others see his sneaky smile.
Ai Hai transferred out of the third hall and did not return to his own compound. Instead, he went to report the work to Yao Cuo. Only by asking for instructions from one level to another could he secure his seat. How could Ai Hai dare to set up another mountain.
Yao Cuo sighed bitterly to Xing Yunfeng in the room. He frowned and said: "Hey, Dad, I made a wrong move this time. I shouldn't have taken in Wu Defu's wife and children. It's better now. I still have to take care of the house and the teacher for them, and I even have to keep an eye on the two children's studies. What do you think this is?"
"Brother, you have taken a bite." Xing Yunfeng peeked at Yao Cuo's expression.
"No, no." Yao Cuo shook his beard and firmly denied that he had any intention of coveting him.
Ai Hai laughed, pushed open the door, and said, "Okay, Dad, you're asking the wrong question. Of course there is no big one. The small one has already been there."
"Hehehehe." Yao Cuo couldn't deny it. He could only giggle a few times to cover up his embarrassed expression.
Xing Yunfeng scolded: "Brother, this is your fault. You can't favor one over the other. Luo Yunxia is pretty good. Isn't it the best of both worlds to live in a house?"
Yao Cuo waved his hand and said: "Absolutely not. That will lose my reputation as a chivalrous man. I want to learn from Mr. Guan. For ten years, let my brother's wife and children get the best care."
Ai Hai sighed: "Brother, even if you want to, Luo Yunxia will not let you go. This woman still has her own tricks. Even Xiao Lizi and Sister Xiaofang will have headaches when they see her. Your wife will only listen to Luo Yunxia was able to get rid of her habit of listening to operas and stayed in Baozhifang to learn business. Who can help your career? Big brother, you should have a strong balance in your heart."
"Hmm..." Yao Cuo stroked his beard and squinted his eyes in thought.
Xing Yunfeng slapped the table with his big hand and shouted: "Then take it. Learn from Xiao Lizi. Pay tribute to Xiao Lizi."
"Yes. Big brother, Xiao Lizi, that shameless big woman. I heard about it too. Do you want to know that the last time there was a war in Balizhuang? Do you still remember those two cannons? Hehehehehe."
"Come on, tell me. What's the point? Who can't be imitated? Go and imitate the treacherous little plum. Look for trouble." Xing Yunfeng put on the posture of the fourth brother to scare the thirteen Taibao.
There was laughter in the room. Yao Cuo, Xing Yunfeng, Ai Hai, and Hu Chui talked fiercely. They were waiting for the time to get off work. In the evening, they also drank and listened to plays. Power is a good thing. It can be exchanged for the life you want.
Li Guolou returned home. He practiced boxing first and hit sandbags in the living room of his house. He practiced with his boxing master Frenchman Jack and others for two hours. Then it was over. When he finished taking a bath, it was completely dark. In the dining room Chen Xiangfang and Mayuko were waiting for him to eat.
Li Guolou enjoyed the medium-rare steak and boiled chicken alone. He chewed hard and kept saying it was delicious.
Chen Xiangfang shook her head and said: "Small building, it would be great if the guests in Baozhifang were as easy to deal with as you. There is no need to use your brain to flip through the menu."
"Hey, I'm telling myself that only by enduring hardship can one become a great person. I have too many things to do. Just like Zeng Gelinqin, enjoy life in the palace, brave artillery fire on the front line, and be with my men. Together, we have to bear a lot of things. Dirty living habits. Vulgar language. Unpalatable food. The stench of sleeping places. I have too many things to do. I will be a little confused next. I don’t know where to go." Li Guolou Put down the tea cup in your hand and think about where to realize the dream of making the country rich and powerful and the army the fastest.
"Mike, I think you should go to Tianjin. Only by knowing your enemies better can you defeat them." Mayuko filled the tea cup in front of Li Guolou with a hazy smile on her face.
"Hey, the Japanese." Li Guolou looked at Mayuko with a chill in his heart. A rapidly rising eastern neighbor. He bought several armored warships from the Americans. He established a new generation of navy earlier than the Qing Empire. The Qing Dynasty There is a civil war going on, and Japan has risen.
Japan and the Qing Dynasty signed the "Articles of Repair" and the "Articles of Commerce: Customs and Tariffs" in Tianjin. However, the vested interests in the Qing Dynasty were incomparable with those of the Western powers. They did not include the most-favored-nation clause of "all benefits from one body" and did not allow Japan to do business in the mainland. .The right to navigate the Yangtze River. It also stipulates that all treaties are mutual. The Japanese government was dissatisfied with the treaty. In May 1872, it once again sent Yanagihara Maemitsu to the Qing Dynasty to request a revision of the treaty. He was rejected by Li Hongzhang, the Governor of Zhili and the Minister of Beiyang Trade and Commerce. This further intensified the Japanese government's dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, Japan's Meiji Restoration abolished the shogunate feudal system, and paid "the family salary of the old feudal rulers and the principal and interest of the feudal debts to be repaid by the government. Half of the government's actual revenue was spent." In the later period, it even reached 94%.
These burdens were directly passed on to the Japanese people, arousing strong dissatisfaction among the people. In some places, riots even broke out. There were six riots involving more than 10,000 people.
In order to pass on domestic conflicts, radical soldiers Saigo Takamori, Eto Shinpei, Ban Tsune Taisuke and others proposed the "Conquest of Korea Theory" and proposed the immediate dispatch of troops to Korea. They attempted to transfer the gentry forces overseas in the war of aggression against Korea to avoid the Meiji government's invasion of Korea.
The country suffered from decline and destruction. However, the views of Saigo Takamori and others were opposed by Ming who advocated slow progress.
Government Councilor Iwakura Tomoshi and others were suppressed. Conflicts within the ruling class intensified. On January 14, 1874, Iwakura Tomoshi was assassinated. In February, the unruly Eto Shinpei and others launched the Saga Rebellion. Internal Affairs
The unrest intensified. Although the Japanese government put down the rebellion, this rebellion became the driving force for the Japanese government to invade foreign countries.
Japan's covetous heart was quietly revealed. With the support of the United States, it continued to spy on the bottom line of the Qing Dynasty. It wanted to annex Ryukyu, North Korea, and Taiwan. The knowledgeable people of the Qing Dynasty were wary of Japan. At this time, the Ryukyu Island country began to
It turned out that it paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty and became a vassal state supported by Japan. It was also under the control of the Japanese government. The Qing Empire was suppressed by the Western powers. Even Japan did not dare to offend it. It swallowed its pride and gave up the vassal status of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Thoughts of internal and external troubles were lingering in his heart. Li Guolou was not interested in talking anymore. He stood up and said, "I went back to my room to read and write."
"Hi." Mayuko followed Li Guolou step by step. She wanted to light lamps for Li Guolou, grind ink, pour tea and water, serve Li Guolou to bed, and take care of Li Guolou's life. Japanese women did a great job. Although Mayuko had a stomachache
It has grown. But it still likes to stay around Li Guolou and compete for his favor.
In the bedroom, b1 3kanwang/b was reading quietly without any distractions. In order to make a difference in the Qing Empire, he read the Four Books and Five Classics. This was also a last-ditch effort. It was time for the exam and he wanted to apply what he had learned.
Chen Xiangfang was sitting on the edge of the boat, making embroidery patterns. She was making children's clothes for Mayuko's unborn child. Mayuko was also doing embroidery patterns. The family looked very harmonious.
"Does it look good?" Chen Xiangfang couldn't help but feel sleepy. She handed the embroidery picture to Li Guolou to look at. In the dead of night, her voice was ethereal.
But I saw blooming peonies embroidered with golden silk thread on the red silk bellyband.
"Hmm, it looks good. I'll go check out the demolition project in Chaoyang tomorrow. I wonder if Nan Batian is doing well." Although Li Guolou wanted to make a fortune, he still hoped that the demolition project would go smoothly. There was no coercion.
The evil act of demolition.
Chen Xiangfang's hands trembled slightly and she quickly said: "Xiaolou, this is none of your business. What are you going to see?"
Li Guolou smiled casually and said: "Why don't you care about my affairs? The properties in Chaoyang area will be Lingling, Mayuko's children, and other children of our big family. How can I let you bear the infamy?"
"That's a good relationship." Chen Xiangfang said with joy on her face, but panicked in her heart. She was afraid of the demolition project in Chaoyang area. What happened was known to Li Guolou.
It seems that the gate of the inner house will be opened early tomorrow morning. The first one will notify Xiaoliuzi to make repairs. Li Guolou will not be allowed to see what is happening in the Chaoyang area. Fake foreign devils and gangsters are involved in the demolition work. Things that use power to bully others are endless. .The thing about deceiving people is that it is difficult for little devils to deceive them. A master can just fool him and it will be over.
Chen Xiangfang became the gangster's eldest sister. She had some things on her shoulders that she didn't want Li Guolou to know about. She tricked Li Guolou into going to bed quickly, and everything was fine.
Chen Xiangfang winked at Mayuko who was sitting on the edge of the bed. On a spring night, it was necessary to embrace each other to sleep.
"Mike, you are not in the mood to study. You are still thinking about the Chaoyang Project. Go to bed quickly. My son will not sleep until you touch him." Mayuko stroked her belly and asked Li Guoshan to go to bed.
How could Li Guolou read the sage's book? He casually browsed through the outline and was perfunctory. As soon as he heard about his son, he became excited. He tiptoed to the bedside, lowered his head and put it on Mayuko's belly. He smiled and said: "Yeah .I heard it. It’s my son.”
"Son. I want my father to sleep with him." Mayuko was extremely gentle, stroking Li Guolou's young face with both hands.
"Xiaolou, go to sleep quickly. You are also tired these days." Chen Xiangfang knew that Li Guolou was overworked these days and should take a good rest before the exam.
"Oh. I'm tired too. Let's go to sleep." Li Guolou picked up Mayuko and gently put Mayuko into the bed.
Li Guolou covered the sleeping Chen Xiangfang and Mayuko with quilts and lay between them. The three of them kissed goodbye before going to bed and blew out the oil lamp. "God bless us. Amen."
"God bless us. Amen." The three of them are believers in God. They think they are a big moral family and loyal believers in God. God will bless them in this life.
