Because the chief was outside, neither Li Guolou nor Howard drank alcohol, and before leaving, Sadako gave Li Guolou two bottles of Japanese sake, Li Guolou looked at Sadako's enthusiastic appearance, and his heart trembled, if he met such a docile woman, could he hold this hand? If Sadako is still so enthusiastic the next time she comes to Hamiso sushi restaurant, she should also fall into the trap laid by Sadako.

Li Guolou couldn't help but praise: "Howard, your vision is good, Sadako is a good woman, the climatic conditions of their motherland are worse than those in the United Kingdom, they can adapt to the changeable weather in the United Kingdom, and Sadako will adapt to life in the foggy capital." ”

Howard Eugene sighed and said, "I still have three years of military service, Sadako has to wait for me for three years, you are my first friend to show Sadako, and she likes you a lot." ”

Li Guolou also sighed: "It's a pity that I met Sadako too late, otherwise there would be nothing to do with you." ”

It was a way for Britons to praise their girlfriends, and Howard Eugene felt more relaxed and chatted as they returned to the villa. Howard Eugene left with more than 20 Indian Asan, and gave Li Guolou a military salute before leaving, Li Guolou did not wear an official uniform, so he could only take off his hat and salute.

Li Guolou didn't see Ai Hai's carriage, and looked around to search around, this is a rich area, and Li Guolou has no direction for a while.

A carriage with the sign of the British Legation stopped in front of Li Guolou, who was in a hurry, and Wu Defu opened the door and shouted: "Get in the car!" ”

Li Guolou took a few careful glances at the appearance of the car, not that he was mistaken.

"Tell you to get in the car, what are you still rubbing?" Wu Defu said with some annoyance.

Li Guolou hurriedly climbed into the carriage and said with a smile: "Master Wu, I thought I was wrong. What about Aihai? Why didn't he wait for me? ”

Wu Defu sneered and said, "Little Lizi, you are so good at calculating, don't you know why I let you get in the car?" ”

Li Guolou grabbed his head and said, "It's calculated, but what level am I, what do the chiefs care about me?" I'm about the same level as a British captain. ”

Wu Defu said: "Ai Hai is back, you go to the British Hall tonight to spend the night, don't be too active, otherwise Lord Bao will be jealous." Hey-you just be the translator of Lord Bao, just don't leave an inch, don't hook up with foreign girls, just give the opportunity to Lord Bao. ”

The British Legation is not far from the British Legation, which is a place dedicated to entertaining the British and banqueting the dignitaries of the Qing Empire, and is not open to the public.

Li Guolou laughed, he mixed into the chief's fun circle, that is the real person, there is no need to pretend to be a serious person in the officialdom, the ugliness of human nature must be exposed. That is to say, if the chief has a crush on a woman, you have to do the trust to seduce that woman to the chief. The chief holds a first-class woman in his arms, you also have to hold the defective product, the chief enters the shed, you don't want to enter the shed, you have to enter the shed, this is what people in a circle of officialdom will do. Those who came out of the mud and were not stained all stayed up all night in the office of the Criminal Department to write hard and write neat articles.

Wu Defu glanced at him and said, "Don't be so complacent, we're going to bleed heavily." Master Bao saw how big our business was, and his hand had already reached out. ”

Li Guolou was taken aback and said hurriedly: "How could he see it, it's not the second brother who said that you leaked your mouth." ”

Wu Defu snorted coldly: "As far as you are smart, can't you tell if Lord Bao is a fool or a smart person today?" If you move a little, you can see the silver rolling in, and the old fox can't see how big the field is next? I thought of a trick to make the old fox bleed, the benefits for him to get, and the risks for him to follow. ”

Li Guolou thought about it, if it was really as Wu Defu said, the benefits could not be hidden from Bao Tong for a long time, there were so many fields in the Beijing Division, and he was making money every day. People with a little brains also know why the Criminal Department broke out and other departments turned their faces, not because they wanted to occupy the protection fee of the Jingshi.

"Second brother, do you have any good ideas?"

"Well, I think of the ticket number business you said last time, if you want to drag the old fox onto the ship, and raise start-up funds by ourselves, we will have to work hard in Beijing for at least five or six years. If the old fox is willing to get on board, we will be able to set sail in two years. Wu Defu said.

Li Guolou thought for a while and said, "Second brother, since you have already told the old fox, I have no objection, but in the future, the people in the officialdom should not let them join again, a predator will eat us even to the bones." ”

What kind of people are they in the group, at most the rank of eight-rank official, and there is a difference between the third-grade official, and the high-ranking officials are all Jinshi and first. At most, they are Xiucai, who are considered highly educated, how can they use their brains to move people who are smart and can memorize the four books and five classics.

The official level crushes people to death, this truth is understood from the first day Wu Defu stepped into the officialdom. One day, the chief turned his face and refused to admit the account, and even made you bankrupt, and gave you a crime to make money for others for the rest of your life, and even your wife couldn't be saved.

Wu Defu said: "Well, I will make it clear to the old fox that I can't let other high-ranking officials come in, and it's better to join the businessman." ”

Li Guolou said: "We are people between black and white, pay attention to the morality of the rivers and lakes, those people put the interests of the country above everything else to squash you, the truth is what they say, the rules are formulated by them, and they are much greedier than us." Second brother, don't just want to know about the kindness, it's better to be careful. ”

Wu Defu smiled and said: "I know, I am not as good as his little father-in-law, or the eldest brother and the third brother can be rich and noble together, I know who is my own person." ”

Li Guolou glanced at Wu Defu, and felt a little uneasy, the smart Bao Tong was too far from their status, as long as Bao Tong was ambitious, he wanted to ask for more and control the overall situation, and in the end, the first unlucky person was Wu Defu. Will Bao Tong praise his "little father-in-law" on the throne? That "little minister" has reached a mature age, and he learns to read in the back hall, reviews official documents, and writes no worse than Wu Defu.

The benefits are too tempting and too rich, Li Guolou thought of the ending, Wu Defu will not live a long life, and he will be killed, because he knows too many secrets of Bao Tong, this is a person who has done his best for the main public bag, and in the end he can only be killed by the main public bag.

"I'm dead, third brother, my family pleases you." Wu Defu closed his eyes and said suddenly.

Li Guolou pretended to be stupid and said: "Second brother, I just said not to let too many officials and masters come in, just to protect our interests, where do you want to go." ”

Wu Defu said: "I like to joke with smart people, don't take it seriously, Master Bao is still okay, I've never been sorry for me, third brother, if you have more contact with him, you will respect such a chief." An official like Lord Bao in the Qing Empire is considered a Qing official, and he is not much better than your money-greedy uncle. ”

Li Guolou could only take advantage of the situation and said: "Yes, second brother, like some chiefs, they let their relatives come forward, how can they bring their master from the top, you can be regarded as meeting a good lord." ”

Wu Defu nodded slightly and said: "That's right, there is money to earn together, as long as the business of silver tickets is done, everyone's net worth will be doubled immediately, and Lord Bao will not treat the guide badly." ”

Li Guolou said perfunctory Wu Defu, but in his heart he thought of the scene of Bao Qingtian beating people to death in the public court, as if he was eliminating harm for the people, but in fact, it was an abuse of power. Controlling the lives of others with personal likes and dislikes, uncontrollable violence, and growing ambitions. Where does he go from here? For the sake of brotherhood, remind Wu Defu, or climb a stronger high branch, and come to die for a confidant. Li Guolou was silent and fell asleep after a while.

Wu Defu was still immersed in excitement, he planned the blueprint, planned the layout, a perfect start has been shown in front of him, Lord Bao praised him, and his brothers worked together. Originally, there was hope for the ticket number business of the pavilion in the sky, and he was full of energy, wanting to show his skills, and looked at Li Guolou, who was asleep next to him.

Wu Defu took off his coat and put it on Li Guolou, opened the curtain on the car window, and looked at the bustling street, where the carriage of the legation was riding horses and whipping up. This is the power of the British Legation, which was originally more than two hours away, but can be reached in less than an hour. With this transcendent power, the carriage could run through the streets, and he had more power, ambition crushing all the gravel that stood in his way with the rolling wheels, and Wu Defu smiled at the British Empire's Star-Spangled Banner on the building of the British Lodge.

When Li Guolou entered the hall, he saw several chiefs in the box holding binoculars watching the ballet "Swan Lake", and couldn't help laughing. Ballet is real, and the shadow in the crotch and the black color can be seen.

Li Guolou hurriedly walked behind Bao Tong, leaned over and whispered: "My lord, those two dancers are serious people, this is a classic dance of Westerners, if you meet those actors later, just praise a few words and give some reward." ”

Bao reacted together, raised his hand and asked, "Xiao Lizi, can the official use a telescope?" ”

The two chiefs beside Bao also turned their heads to look at Li Guolou, wouldn't their indecent movements lose the face of the Qing Empire.

Li Guolou was a little embarrassed, the three chiefs had seen it now, did he want to tell the truth?

"My lord, the telescope is for people far away from the stands, so it's better not to use them here." Li Guolou still told the truth.

Wu Kefan said angrily: "I was eager to try it, it turned out to be something that could be seen but not touched." Don't look at it! I'm going to play Russian roulette, little plum, you go with me. Blackjack will you? I lost all my chips just now, you give me the chips, and if you win, I will give you the money, and if you lose, you will honor me. ”

The British invite them to come here to play, of course, they send chips first, which is to give money in disguise, you can gamble, pay tips, and foreign girls can also exchange chips for them. Wu Kefan had already lost all the chips given to him by the British when he came in, and now he had the idea of his subordinates.

He couldn't leave with the bag, and people specially performed for him, so he could only continue to stay up, and said a little angrily: "The British devil deliberately calculated us and wanted us to make a fool of ourselves." Little Lizi, why are you here so late? ”

Li Guolou became a sought-after commodity, and in the end, Wu Kefan was given priority and asked Li Guolou to accompany him to the casino to play a few games. Coming here is to play, and the bag will not be angry, everyone is not big or small, and said that the next time to allocate Li Guolou, which foreign girl is a first-class product, I want Li Guolou to pick them out, don't fake the foreign girl, I want Li Guolou to look at it first and carefully screen the authenticity, this is the job of doing detectives.

Li Guolou refused to give the chips to Wu Kefan, and said: "Master Wu, playing Russian roulette is just fun, how can there be any reason to press it all, let me come." You also know that I have the mind of a detective, and blackjack can still fight the British devils? ”

Wu Kefan said dissatisfiedly: "No! You go to change the chips yourself, you can't lose your little plum, but the gunpowder is in charge of me, so if you don't want to mute the fire, you can bring it. ”

Li Guolou was empty-handed, so he could only go to exchange the silver ticket for chips first, and when he came back, he saw Wu Kefan standing in front of the Russian roulette wheel and sighed, Li Guolou shook his head and said: "Chief Wu, to tell you the truth, the Russian roulette wheel is played by children, and the fact that you were cheated out of chips shows how high your IQ is." ”

Wu Kefan said angrily: "Xiao Lizi, did you say this about the chief?" I don't care about the cost later. ”

Li Guolou took out his pocket watch and said, "Master Wu don't be impatient, haven't eaten a big meal yet?" Watch me kill everywhere. ”

Wu Defu hurriedly said: "I'll be a fly, look at your luck." ”

At this time, Li Guolou was anxious, and said: "Don't Master Wu, everyone plays their own games, winning or losing is God's will, and it depends on luck, goodbye to you, I am bored with Master Wu." ”

Li Guolou got rid of Wu Defu and took Wu Kefan into a gambling room next to him, imagining in his heart that Wu Kefan had already lost to the bottom, and he should come to bring him good luck from time to time.
