Chapter 245: Eating Behind Closed Doors

In Balizhuang, outside the capital city, the Hokage stuck the musket into his waist and said, "Senior brother, the people's hearts are available!" ”

Miao Qiaowei touched his beard and pulled his chin, his eyes showed a fierce light, and said: "The fake foreign devil betrayed the country to seek glory, and killed my two junior brothers, and the blood debt must be repaid with blood!" ”

Dressed as a village girl, the little nun was safe, with a flower turban on her bald head, silent, and wanted to take revenge on Li Guolou of the Criminal Department for her fellow disciples, and stayed near the Beijing Division to preach, not to mention resisting in her heart.

Ping'an said: "Senior brother, I don't approve of you doing your business, I still go to Shandong to find my uncle, this place is too close to the Magukou Qing Soldier Camp!" ”

The Hokage glanced gloomily at Ping'an, full of doubts about Ping'an's ability to escape from the Three Holy Nunnery, but he didn't want to ask too much, so he said: "Ping'an, although we are not in the same line, but we are like brothers, I can't stop you if you want to go, but please leave on the day we launch the attack, okay!" ”

Ping An bowed her head and was silent, this is to suspect that she will report to the government, Master Baimei is too restrained, she just doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so she faked surrender when she was in danger, and Miao Qiaowei was able to escape back, but lost the musket, Ping An knew it, and did not expose Miao Qiaowei and secretly survived.

Fake surrender lies and uses tricks to deceive the official dog, for the White Lotus disciples to talk about commonplace, Ping An has believed in Maitreya Buddha since he was a child, and he will not betray the Buddha, but Ping An doesn't want to meet Li Guolou who let her run away again, and she doesn't want to be an enemy of Li Guolou anymore.

Ping An raised his head and said slowly: "If you do this, you will ruin our family, you only have a few guns, I will not enter the Beijing Division, you can rest assured, when you launch, I will take my men and horses to Shandong, if you are still alive to come to Shandong to find us." After saying that, Heian didn't listen to the Hokage's reply, and walked away directly.

There were more than a dozen big men behind him, who didn't even say hello to the Hokage, and walked away with a cold snort, they were full of anger at the Hokage's distrust of their eldest sister's safety, and they would be angry with the Hokage and his gang at any time.

This is a microcosm of a sect, there are small hills, if you want these fellow sects to obey orders, in addition to having an excellent sect leader and harsh teachings, you also have to wait for the heavenly opportunity to come, at this time, the White Lotus disciples did not wait for the Qing Empire to starve all over the wilderness, they can only hide.

The doctrine will always join the ideology, the Renyi Society is a branch of the White Lotus Sect, this group of people is no longer anti-Qing but anti-imperialism, to drive out foreigners as their own responsibility, relying on miracles to warn when they come, destroy churches and hospitals in various parts of the Qing Empire, reoccupy the concession, tear up the traitorous treaty, at this time the White Lotus Sect has also come to a period of change, in the end which one to oppose, waiting for their leader Wei Han to make a decision.

Miao Qiaowei smiled bitterly: "Forget the junior brother, we have enough people, you can't be angry with peace, as long as the fake foreign devil is willing to come, this is the place where he will be buried, this time you don't let your subordinates make fearless sacrifices!" ”

"Well, I know how to deal with the musket formation, and I won't let the fake foreign devils go back alive!"

The Hokage looked to the east, his eyes were full of desire, as if he saw the scene of the fire, his eyes showed a raging fire, ** ignited, the Hokage looked at a young village girl, male and female can increase strength, this is the benefit of believing in Maitreya Buddha, how many people join the White Lotus Sect, they want to get the benefits of male and female, a sect spreads there are always a large number of dedicated men and women, they let the disciples see the boundless love.

The young village girl lay on the bed and waited for the Hokage to cast a spell on her, the power of faith was infinite, and I don't know how many women envied her for getting the Hokage's magical exercises.

"What's your name?" Hokage-colored Mimi asked, her hands busily unbuttoning the village girl's clothes.

"My name is Hei Zhuzhu." The village girl skillfully twisted her body, and her husband also gained magical skills in other rooms.

"Well, I'll give you the power." The Hokage pressed the black bead under him and began to perform his powerful technique.

At the other end of Balizhuang, Ping'an was about to crack his teeth, she hated them for using this shameless trick to spread the teachings, the master is different, there will be different schools, after the Hokage and several other senior brothers and Master Miao were fickle and parted ways, in order to rise rapidly, they found the key to the success of the White Lotus Sect in the past, and gave the disciples many superstitious products.

Ping'an's subordinates are all remnants of the Axe Gang, they were characterized as rebels by the Qing government, so they can only flee, among them have long betrayed the Axe Gang Miao Fanlu, since they were discovered by the past accomplices, Miao Fanlu changed his tone, and immediately became a warrior of the Axe Gang, a total of twelve people from the Axe Gang followed Ping'an, they are people in the rivers and lakes, how can they do anything unscrupulous, for the dirty actions of the Hokage and others, they are full of righteous indignation, and they have shouted for the dismantling of the gang.

After the test of blood and fire, Miao Fanlu has some silver tickets on his body, and the brothers rely on him to help him in their lives, and he has become the small leader of these axe gang brothers, joining the mysterious sect is an impulsive and stimulating thing, he is unwilling to return to Beijing, and he can advance and retreat freely in the nest of the rebels, in case he is caught by the government, Miao Fanlu can say that he is an undercover agent of the criminal department, and he can do a career in the rivers and lakes, which is also his dream, he wants to go to Shandong to be the king of the mountain, and the axe gang has a big brother hiding in the mountains to be a robber, and he did not pull the flag to rebel, and the local government does not know that there is such a person, Therefore, it was not exterminated by Li Hongzhang's Huai army.

Miao Fanlu's clever tongue encouraged Ping An and the others to leave Balizhuang early, and not to have a vote with the Hokage and others.

"Boss, let's go early, the miasma here is uncomfortable, listen to the Hokage fart, when we attacked the fake foreign devil, he was the first to escape, those uneducated and uneducated peasants, shouted, rushed up and fled all in a round, we are not easy to gather thirty people now, we can't fight under the feet of the imperial city, and the road fee to Shandong is not enough, I will go home, and it is not a problem to ask the family for a few hundred taels of silver!"

Miao Fanlu immediately resonated, and even more than a dozen other White Lotus disciples agreed with his proposition, so many people eating, drinking, and sleeping was a big problem, and the Miao Fanlu family was in the coal business, which was of great use.

Ping An is young and vigorous, and with his own people, of course he wants to make a difference, put on the style of the eldest sister, and asked: "It is very dangerous for Miao Fanlu to return to Beijing, aren't you afraid of being arrested!" ”

Miao Fanlu's eyes contained tears, and he arched his hand to the brothers around him, and said: "I want to be responsible for the brothers, I have to eat and sleep in the open along the way, do not reveal my whereabouts, of course I need to have money, I still have the face to live in the world if I escape alone, be the master, these are my remaining silver tickets, you take them first, after this pass, we will eat and drink spicy, and collect protection fees and soft hands!" ”

"Enough friends, I approve of you sneaking back to Beijing, be at home, you give a word." The fat man Yan Weiwu patted Miao Fanlu on the shoulder, where can there be no money.

Ping An blinked his Danfeng eyes and looked at Miao Fanlu, hundreds of axe gang brothers attacked Li Guolou's convoy, and only Miao Fanlu escaped back after the failure, and there were so many silver tickets on her body, where did she get the money, it was really doubtful, but her old bottom was not clean.

After thinking about it for a while, Ping An said: "Miao Fanlu, I believe in you, I will return to Beijing now, I must come back in four days, this time I will bring silver, copper coins, I will send a subordinate to go back with you!" ”

"Yes, I'll go and prepare it now." What does the head of the family think, Miao Fanlu knew it in his heart, pretended to be busy and left, and let Ping'an and her henchmen whisper.

Miao Fanlu walked out of the courtyard and looked at the other side of the village, the dirty and ugly things done there gave him goosebumps, he wanted to be a bright and upright hero, the Hokage's gang deserved to die, he couldn't help but whistle, the whistle was that Li Guolou likes to blow "Mandarin Duck Tea".

At this time, Li Guolou ran to Li Hongzhang's mansion, sat in the door room, and handed over the post and the seal, he had already done what he should do, just waiting for the people inside to reply, whether Li Hongzhang saw him now, or hung him aside as always, Li Guolou was not Li Hongzhang's roundworm in his stomach, he couldn't guess what his uncle would do.

There were more than a dozen guests in the room of Li Hongzhang's mansion, everyone greeted each other, drank tea and passed the long time, some people wore official robes, some people wore satin horse coats, only Li Guolou was dressed in a dress.

Li Guolou breathed a sigh of relief, his uncle didn't look down on him at the beginning, he just didn't change his admiration for foreign virtues, even if his uncle didn't see him, Li Guolou also recognized it, although he relied on his family power and was left and right in the officialdom, but in most cases he broke out of the sky alone, Li Guolou thought that his old bottom was not clean, and his dream of being a high-ranking official was shattered, and it was the right way to make money by borrowing a family brand.

Li Guolou listened quietly to several poor Beijing officials, chatting about the price of fish and meat in the vegetable market, and told that twenty-five taels for half a year was not enough to spend, pouting slightly, and secretly slandering himself, he knew that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive, and the common people's family was less than one or two silver, and they could still support a family, and the income of poor Beijing officials was five times that of the common people, and the money was not enough to spend, and the income of officials was unimaginable for the common people.

Li Guolou can receive three rations from the Yamen every month, those who do not come to the criminal department to work are full, at least they can receive a ration, sighing that they are suffering from poor Beijing officials, and they can't go anywhere, but they can't be compared with the income of officials with formal official positions, one in the sky and one in the ground, watching others make a fortune, their hearts are unbalanced, and they sigh all day long and go through poor Beijing officials, and their stomachs are full of stomach aches.

"Little brother, where are you messing around." A poor Beijing official thought that Li Guolou was a businessman and spoke to Li Guolou in a superior capacity.

"Oh······ The younger brother is on an errand in the criminal department. Li Guolou put down the teacup in his hand and replied with a smile.

"Oh······" The five Beijing officials looked at each other, knowing that Li Guolou had some status, and he would not be a poor Beijing official, and they dared to go to Li Zhongtang's mansion wearing Western clothes and Qing officials, and they already knew which one it was.

"Are you a fake foreign devil in the Criminal Department!"

Li Guolou looked at the people around him in embarrassment, and said helplessly: "It should be." "The reputation is so stinky, so he broke the jar and broke it.

"Fake foreign devils, you have to line up too." The poor Jingguan felt incredible, and Li Hongzhang's relatives were also like them, sitting on the cold bench.

"Yes, Dujing is a bastard." Li Guolou took out a cigarette like a spring breeze, and handed out a circle of camel brand cigarettes to the people in the door.

A group of people were in the room, chatting about the weather and the price of food, and chatting without nutrition.

Li Guolou sat for more than twenty minutes, and the porter sent a message to Uncle Guan and left with a guest, then turned to Li Guolou and said, "Xiaolou, Lord Zhongtang is very busy today, you can come back in two days!" ”

"Oh, thank you Uncle Guan, I'll come back in two days." Although Li Guolou was a little disappointed, he had already prepared for a long time, and he still went home early to practice boxing.

Li Guolou boarded the carriage, habitually played with a silver coin, and ate the closed-door soup that made Li Guolou a little depressed, everything has not been going well in the past two days, and it is time to change his luck.

The silver coin disappeared from Li Guolou's hand, and he glanced at Li Hongzhang's mansion outside the window, there is nothing remarkable, come back tomorrow, Liu Bei also looked at the thatched house, he is thick-skinned, next time he will wear a horse coat to see his uncle, and he should show enough respect and politeness to the elders,
