Chapter 315: A Great Test of Ideology and Character
Bao was silent for a moment, knocked on the door of his head, and said with a smile: "Look where I said, Prince Shicaigong ordered that the theft of the treasury of the household department should be investigated, and I will hand it over to you, don't let me down!" โ
Li Guolou was overjoyed, the "Household Treasury Silver Theft Case" is of great significance to him, he has read the file countless times, has found out the loopholes in the Treasury Silver Theft Case, and has a mature plan to solve the case.
"Pierce." Li Guolou knelt on one leg, saluted, and said: "Subordinate, you will not disgrace your life, and you will definitely beat the moths who steal the treasury!" โ
"Hahahaha, Xiao Lizi, you are lucky, even the adult backlog of the Criminal Department can fall into your hands for no reason, I believe that the theft of the treasury of the Ministry of Households, it is appropriate for you to handle it, remember, this time let the official be the god arrest, don't rush up to catch the thief yourself." Bao picked up the teacup together, as steady as Mount Tai, and looked at Li Guolou with a smile, a golden phoenix flying high, with his mention, there will be money to earn together in the future.
"Lord Bao, the lower officials have found out the loophole in the theft of the treasury of the household department, and they have not touched it, for fear of startling the snake, and the treasury of the criminal department is ยทยทยทยทยทยท." Li Guolou couldn't help but confide in some clues about the case.
"Well, this clue is very important, I believe that the cat is tired and hides inside, I think so, you will come forward first, straighten out the clues, and then I will make the final decision and solve the case." Bao told the story together and took the credit for solving the case.
Li Guolou and Bao chatted vigorously about the case together, and left Zhen Yuhuan in the cold.
"Hey, how long are you two going to talk, go to dinner, Qiu Jutang will have a meeting on time at six o'clock in the evening, Lord Bao, do you want to go back after eating, or go back now." Zhen Yuhuan has a unique advantage in women, and she speaks without scruples.
Bao Tong said with a sneer: "President Zhen is in for a treat, of course the official eats here and goes home!" โ
"Hey, what's so delicious about the food in the Prime Minister's Palace, you officials are eager to eat it." Zhen Yuhuan said that it was not good, but the gesture was an invitation, and it didn't cost a few copper coins to treat a working dinner.
The three of them said as they walked, walking towards the dining hall, Li Guolou sighed: "I originally thought that Prince Gong would have a treat, but who would have wanted me to eat in the dining hall and work overtime!" โ
Bao smacked his mouth together and said: "Little Lizi, you haven't eaten here, what is a big pot dish, the fragrance of that meal, it can't be burned in the restaurant, it has a different flavor, that large piece of braised pork, the aroma is tangy, and it melts in the mouth, I have to eat four pieces every time, if it weren't for the regulations, I can't buy it home, I would have packed it home and tasted it!" โ
Li Guolou touched his nose, and if it was so, he hadn't smelled the aroma of the food before he arrived in the canteen, and said suspiciously: "Hey, it's really so fragrant, President Zhen, why is the food here so fragrant!" โ
Zhen Yuhuan shook his head and said: "It's a shame that the two of you are gods, I don't understand this truth, the ingredients here look exactly the same as those sold outside, but in fact, they are special products, they are all produced in specific places, that pork is made of fragrant pigs, a pig will not exceed 100 catties, and the breeder will use a rattan whip every day to whip and drive away the little fragrant pig, so the meat fragrance can be smelled here!" โ
Li Guolou nodded, looked at the spacious canteen, one by one there were high-ranking officials queuing up for dinner, and the other long queue was the staff of the Prime Minister's Office queuing up for dinner, everyone was holding tickets in their hands, and the entourage and Zhen Yuhuan were also queuing, seeing everyone's faces beaming, they knew how delicious the food here was.
Li Guolou smiled and said, "President Zhen, I want to eat double tonight!" โ
"Hmph, you have to double everything." Zhen Yuhuan's pun made Li Guolou's face blush, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at other people's faces.
"Hey, it's a pity that I'm old and have lost this ability." Bao Tong heard the pun, and felt a little lost, it was already very difficult to satisfy a foreign girl Yesenia, and she had to take winter tonic to make the foreign girl pay attention.
Zhen Yuhuan lightly angered Bo and took a bite in the canteen, letting the people around her see that she was unmatched.
The three of them carried a wooden plate and found a window seat to sit down to eat, while eating, while talking and laughing, many officials who knew or did not know each other walked by and greeted them, the time was only five o'clock in the morning, and the three of them chewed slowly and ate very slowly.
Zhen Yuhuan took out the dining cloth, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said: "Xiaolou, the Prime Minister's Mansion will hold a meeting at night, and it will end at eleven o'clock in the evening, you have to be prepared, don't doze off, I'll give you a bottle of wind oil essence, if you can't hold it, sprinkle a little and rub your eyes, to ensure that you don't feel sleepy!" โ
Li Guolou took the wind oil essence, and said with some surprise: "Why is it so late, it's still human!" โ
"Hey." Zhen Yuhuan sighed: "To tell you the truth, those old men are all nocturnal spirits, go to bed early, can't sleep, they like to have meetings at night, Prince Gong can't help it, and you will like to have meetings at night when you are old in the future!" โ
"Then what will they do sooner?" Li Guolou couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Sleeping in the official sedan chair, or in the carriage, the world-famous Ji Xiaolan, who boasted that he also took the Ji family to the early dynasty, and the morning dynasty would have to come to the official sedan chair once, otherwise he would have a nosebleed, and he would bring two at a time, but it was the same as Xiao Lizi, I didn't believe that he wrote a book, and put gold on his face, I have been an official for so many years, and I have never seen any official dare to do such a thing in the official sedan chair." Bao Tong talked about the strange things in the book "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" by Ji Xiaolan, a great genius of the Qing Dynasty.
The world writes himself as a superpowered literati, and he only has Ji Xiaolan on his lips, and he still boasts of his "martial arts" at a great age.
Li Guolou touched his nose and sneered: "The scum of the Han people has ruined how many cultural treasures of our Han people, don't mention this person, talented hooligans are terrible people!" โ
Zhen Yuhuan said in a low voice: "The foreigners are here, and there are benefits, there is no text prison, and you can say anything in the concession!" โ
The three of them had no edge on their lips, they dared to say anything, they were people on the same front, and since the business of creating "Please Come to the Bank" was connected, they had no scruples, telling when they would go to Tianjin and start "Please Come to the Bank", when one million silver would be in place.
Bao sighed together: "I really didn't have time to go to the British Concession, the candidate needs to be solved urgently, Xiao Lizi, do you want my son to go, or let Yessenia go!" โ
Li Guolou was silent, looked at Bao and looked at it together, and after a while, he said: "Master Bao, if Yesenia is really pregnant, let her go, anyway, the silver will not let her handle it, just let her be happy, and give her a power of attorney is also happy in vain, but your son Bao Quanzhong, we can't hold it, we will jump out at any time to cause trouble, plus your family affairs, when he comes to break the jar, you don't give him benefits, he sells you It is possible, it is better to be careful!" โ
Bao and the thief looked at Zhen Yuhuan, his heart was extremely dirty, and he sighed: "Xiao Lizi, I don't accept that you can't do it, I actually asked President Zhen to pay for it and stick to you to do business, but Yesenia got into it and took care of it, so let her go, and let President Zhen and Yelia brainwash her again!" โ
Zhen Yuhuan giggled, and didn't care about the people next to him, thinking that he could make a big show in the British Concession in Tianjin, and there was another person who didn't see Wu Peipei accompanying him, didn't he let Bao and his wife Yesenia discover Li Guolou's secret.
Li Guolou squinted and said, "President Zhen, don't be scared, it's time to go home, I'm going to meet Prince Gong!" โ
Zhen Yuhuan said coquettishly: "No, I won't go back, I will wait for you." While speaking, Zhen Yuhuan pulled Li Guolou to speak, and ignored the countless pairs of curious eyes next to him, looking at them and loving each other.
Bao shivered together, the pores all over his body stood up, this pair of men and women in the world is a perfect match, and said hurriedly: "You guys are so disgusting, I'm leaving." After saying that, Bao went to greet the officials he knew and left the canteen.
Li Guolou glanced at the four beauties in their twenties who were two tables away from them, and said softly: "Anita, are you acting like this, are you showing your successor how happy you are!" โ
Zhen Yuhuan grabbed Li Guolou's sturdy thigh meat with one left hand, and clenched his silver teeth and said: "If you know, don't say it, give me hard work, come on!" โ
"Hey." Li Guolou didn't frown, this pain was nothing to him, how perverted Zhen Yuhuan was, he had tasted bitterness.
The whispers all around were endless, Li Guolou bowed to everyone, left the canteen, and said with a smile: "President Zhen, this is a delicious working dinner, I will never forget the braised pork here, oh, and apples!" โ
Li Guolou threw up an apple, and as soon as he went up and down, he disappeared in an instant, and the four beauties at the next table immediately made exclamations.
"Xiaolou, if you don't want to die, just leave." Zhen Yuhuan was extremely dissatisfied with Li Guolou's hook-up, and in the urging voice, the two left side by side.
Zhen Yuhuan explained a few words to Li Guolou, then left, and went to a public study next to him to read alone.
Li Guolou walked towards the Qiu Ju Hall, the two guards saw Li Guolou approaching, and opened the hall door with a mechanical action, Li Guolou bowed in, wanting to greet the president, but he was stunned, there were only Prince Gong Yixun and two secretaries in the afternoon, and the three of them sat on the edge of the long table, this kind of long table is a negotiation table, there is a groove in the middle, and there are pots of flowers and green plants, which are also the way of conversation learned by foreigners.
After the ceremony, Yi Xun smiled and said: "Li Guolou sit down, this king wants to talk to you alone in the evening, this king has not dealt with young people for a long time, and when I see your youthful face, I think of your family happiness!" โ
Seeing Li Guolou standing cramped and restless, Yi Xun smiled and said: "Li Guolou, don't be restrained, sit down first, this king wants to hear your true thoughts as an international student, you have been in the criminal department for half a year, what do you think of the Qing Dynasty officialdom, is it as clear as a mirror and clean yourself, or is it corrupt officials everywhere, it has reached the point where it needs to be changed, and the Qing Dynasty will become a country that preaches freedom, equality, and fraternity to Westerners!" โ
Li Guolou was scared to death, how could he say it, it was not good to tell lies, saying that learning "freedom", "equality" and "fraternity" from Western capitalism would not be counter-revolutionary, and who would use him.
Li Guolou swallowed, and stopped talking: "Prince Gong, I've only been working for half a year, and if you ask such an esoteric question about a slave, can't I say it!" โ
"Hey, Li Guolou, this king is asking you sincerely, and the speaker is not guilty." Yixun smiled on his face, but Li Guolou felt that it was a mountain pressing over, and the heavy topic made him at a loss.
The two bookstores next to him also urged several times, so that Li Guolou could rest assured and boldly confide in his heart.
"Li Guolou, you say, it's already off work, just think it's a blind chat, we people sitting in the hall, we don't know the voice of the people, you deal with the bottom every day, so that we can have a little more knowledge!"
"Li Guolou, don't be afraid, we are now on an equal footing, face the right, you can refute if you say something wrong, or you can scold your mother, it doesn't matter!"
Li Guolou knows in his heart that this is a big test of Prince Gong's thinking and character, if he is wrong, he will never recover, don't want to go up, don't say it, then stay at the bottom and slowly grind into old fritters, Prince Gong Yixin is impatient, how can he sit dry,
