Chapter 51: A Chess Piece

Li Guolou patted his chest and said with a smile: "Second brother, it's not that I'm boasting, only I can handle those fake foreign devils, they have made a fortune in the country, and they should share the worries and solve problems for the monarch's father, and I won't let them bleed heavily." I dragged all the fake foreign devils in the capital division onto the official ship, how much silver do you want? โ€

When Wu Defu heard this, he was stunned at first, then came back to his senses and said, "What? You've got all those nostrils up. โ€

Wu Defu still doesn't believe that those fake foreign devils are iron roosters, and they will only use the prestige of foreigners to make a fortune in Beijing, and only recognize foreign devils as masters, and earn the silver of the Qing Empire's white flowers, and what they return to the country is opium, muskets, foreign cloth, foreign oil and other goods, how can they share the worries of the Qing Empire?

Li Guolou didn't dare to sell Guan Zi this time, so he hurriedly nodded and said: "Second brother, you are going to make a big deal this time, those fake foreign devils and compradors are willing to relieve Lord Bao's worries, ask for money for money, and ask for guns for guns." โ€

Wu Defu blurted out: "Third brother, what conditions did they propose?" โ€

Li Guolou smiled and said, "Second brother, you underestimate them, they just want to sit in the village and gamble on the future of Lord Bao, that is, I believe that you can do a good job in the security of the Beijing Division." In the future, it depends on how far the second brother can control it, and there is no need to commit now, fake foreign devils will not believe verbal checks, everyone can do things well first. โ€

Wu Defu said suspiciously: "Is there such a good thing? โ€

Li Guolou said in a tone of lesson: "Second brother, the militia is about to become daylily, only the people in the capital are old-fashioned, and they are still waiting for the above to be rich step by step." Zeng Guofan, and my uncle all relied on the militia to supervise and appease, what are you still thinking? If you still want to make the silver in the treasury your own, then you might as well let it go and fish it out. โ€

Wu Defu looked at Li Guolou and retorted: "Then you mean that I sit in and watch the sky." โ€

Li Guolou smirked and said, "Second brother, it's okay to think like this." โ€

Wu Defu looked Li Guolou up and down, and sighed: "I didn't see it, the people who came out of the big family have different visions, and when they cross the threshold, they will share their worries for the chief, tell me how much money the big guy Duken paid?" โ€

Li Guolou grinned and said, "Second brother, guess what? โ€

Wu Defu casually slapped Li Guolou and shouted: "Guess your size, do you want to laugh at me?" โ€

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Li Guolou shrunk his neck and said: "The equipment is not counted among them, the big guy Du is willing to make the silver first (Li Guolou stretched out a slap)." โ€

Wu Defu said angrily: "You explain to me plainly, is it 5,000 or 50,000?" โ€

Li Guolou sneered and said, "Second brother, five thousand taels of silver, I still come to show my merits." โ€

Wu Defu was furious and shouted: "Good boy, why didn't you say it earlier, I just sent a written report to Master Bao, and the handwriting has to be changed before it is dry, so I will work all night in vain." โ€

Li Guolou said: "How do I know that the second brother is writing about this matter, and it's only been a day." I think the second brother is still working on the draft. โ€

Wu Defu sighed and said, "It's over, I don't know where the cow ghost and snake god are coming to grab the credit, I'll hurry up." You! You give me honesty, don't drink alcohol at night, and in the future, as long as it's not a New Year's holiday, you are not allowed to drink a drop of wine, and you are not allowed to work until the money arrives. โ€

Li Guolou said suspiciously: "Second brother, what kind of work?" โ€

Wu Defu rolled his eyes and said: "The eldest brother will give you an errand, that is, to vote for the name." This thing will be postponed, since you can endure so much, then do things well one by one, I know you have kung fu, and the second brother will give you a good gun, and you must do it beautifully. Got it? โ€

Li Guolou smiled bitterly: "Second brother, I still have to do this kind of thing, I can't buy a killer with so much silver." โ€

Wu Defu retorted: "What do you know? Now it's a name for yourself, only by yourself, and relying on others isn't it going into the dead end of the past again? This is worthy of you, only your own brother will entrust you. โ€

Li Guolou knows that this is a test for his last level, and if he doesn't do it, he can only stay in the corner like golden ears, watch other people's eyes and act, and if he does it, he will be the real "third brother". He dreams of killing people every night, and he has a murderous mark in his heart, so he wants to try what it is like to really kill people? Li Guolou, who had a fierce look in his eyes, nodded slightly at Wu Defu, he wanted to kill people to gain fame.

Wu Defu listened to Li Guolou's report on the progress of the militia organization, and inquired in detail about the situation of the bigwig Du and others, and sat in the warm pavilion and began to ponder.

Li Guolou was silent in a low-key manner, and turned his head to look at the pool of blue waves. He does things too fast, too fast to eat. Incompatible with the rhythm of the Qing Empire, Li Guolou doesn't know what others think? He himself didn't think that so many things were sandwiched together, and he could still sway freely and do everything properly. I was proud and worried in my heart, and the consequence of being jealous of the chief was that I wasted my years and dyed my sideburns with white hair. It's just that he sees the opportunity and doesn't do it, it's not his character. If you do it, you won't regret it, and the slightly moving Bibo told him that people's hearts are floating.

Li Guolou can't control his own destiny, although he has amazing organizational skills and cohesion, he is still a pawn in the hands of others.

Wu Defu finally spoke: "Keep a low profile at the eldest brother at night, I know your energy." These days, I have learned a little more experience, and if there is a case, I will ask you to look at it, and when there is no case, come to me and learn and analyze the case. Master Bao, I'll arrange for you and let him meet you, and I'll make your team independent in the future, understand? โ€

Li Guolou was grateful, although he did not wear the official uniform of donkey's hooves and water sleeves, but the posture of throwing his sleeves and turning over was still done vividly. His mouth almost screamed, "Minion!" Two words, Li Guolou humbled to learn to be a submissive citizen of the Qing Empire.

Wu Defu couldn't understand why Li Guolou wanted to come to the yamen of the Criminal Department, such a big energy, as soon as he made a move, it was 50,000 taels, and he came here to be a small team with an annual salary of only 15 taels of silver, so he couldn't say anything. Judging from the news found out from the outside, Li Guolou is an alternative, an alternative to the Li family, an alternative to the Qing Empire, and he is not a normal person anyway. "Off the beaten path"! This sentence is just right for Li Guolou.

Anyway, the last bargain came to him and Lord Bao, real money is the last word, and then there are foreigners' new flintlock pistols, and the yamen armed to the teeth is no longer scaring people with the skin of a green-headed fly, and the militia released will return the Beijing division to a Changping.

Wu Defu walked to the back hall alone, and went to Bao to express his work, his face flushed with excitement. The last downwind ship of this era, he will be the first mate, and it won't be long before he will be the captain. The era of peace is coming, and the blood and youth will be displayed in Beijing, which is the worst era, and he has met it. But Wu Defu, who has ideals and morals, firmly believes that he will make the world the best.

Li Guolou left the garden by himself, without looking at the yellow leaves all over the ground, he made a great contribution this time, and solved the problems of equipment, funds, and personnel for Bao together, but he still couldn't talk nonsense, but became Wu Defu's cronies. He can't do things well without hair, so he will also be trained.

Before putting the big guy Du Xianyu on the carriage of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, he will learn how to become a real catcher. Li Guolou is very interested in this point, this is an era that imprisons people's thoughts, only people who are on the front line like Catch Kuai can see the dark real society, Li Guolou wants to see this world full of ghosts and gods, science, and change, what has become of it? The case is what he is most interested in, and this is the reason why he spent a lot of money to come to the yamen of the criminal department.

The person who can stroll in the back garden of the yamen is the privileged class, and the moment Li Guolou stepped out of the garden and came to the second hall, someone greeted him, "Hello little plum!" "Little Lizi, have you seen Master Bao?" "Xiao Lizi has a treat at noon, and this meal can't escape. Hahahahaยทยทยทยทยทยท"

Of course, Li Guolou also saw a lot of grim faces, they didn't cut Li Guolou's drill camp tricks, as if they were upright gentlemen, otherworldly stay in the yamen, there are endless pen cases that need them to write hard, they raised their revocation eyes to tell Li Guolou that one day he will rot in this place where he can't see the sun.

If you do things, you will offend people, and if you occupy a position, you will be envied, and of course Li Guolou knows the inferior nature of the Chinese people. Li Guolou nodded all the way with a smile, this time he passed through the lobby, and for the first time he spied on the trial place, next time he will stand aside to watch the trial, and it won't be long before he will sit next to Lord Bao, which is Li Guolou's highest pursuit. Li Guolou never thought that without military exploits and literary brilliance, he would not be able to achieve such a high position in this life. Li Guolou flicked the case, spotless, it seems that Lord Bao's long-term entourage is still very serious and responsible, and the cleaning work is good.

The first step of his life and career, Li Guolou walked so solidly and powerfully, and has obtained the best results, Li Guolou smiled like a spring breeze, and reluctantly left the lobby, which will be the stage for him to show his skills.

Li Guolou stepped into the Tianzi compound, Ai Hai jumped out and blocked his way, his bright head shining in the sun.

Li Guolou touched Ai Hai's head and said, "What's the hurry?" Is Boss Yao here? โ€

Ai Hai smiled and said, "It turns out that the detective has been prepared for a long time, but it makes me worry in vain." โ€

Li Guolou asked, "Is Jin Erzi inside?" โ€

Ai Hai didn't cut it and said: "Then you don't need to say." โ€

Li Guolou lowered his voice and said, "Tell the horse cake to prevent him from ordering, rat feces will spoil a pot of porridge, and don't expose your money." The bald man took off the wrench on his hand and was not allowed to wear it in the future. โ€

Ai Hai grunted, "This is my ancestor. โ€

Li Guolou looked at Ai Hai viciously, and said: "Then why didn't you wear it last time, keep my true colors for me, and Team C must maintain a hard and simple style." โ€

Ai Hai reluctantly took off the big wrench on his finger, and looked at Li Guolou dissatisfied, Li Guolou's glamorous image was incompatible with the sloppy catcher.

Ai Hai blurted out and said, "Little Lizi, what are you doing like this?" I think you're going to go to church. โ€

Li Guolou said: "Be honest with me, don't be a monkey to catch the moon, go and arrange the night field, don't let me lose face, it is possible that the adults will go." โ€

Ai Hai opened his mouth wide, couldn't close it, and said in surprise: "Lord Bao will come to cheer?" โ€

Li Guolou reprimanded: "Bald, if you are stupid, you are stupid, this is Lord Bao's field, and we are the ones who support it." โ€

Ai Hai stroked his bare head, hehe smirked, which chief would give up the matter of showing his face, this is a major event that will go down in history, and the change of the Jingshi began with the banquet in the evening.
