On the street, Ai Hai and Song Shixiong waited for the carriage to pass by, and Song Shixiong leaned on the old man and said: "Deputy Ai Team, I have always been optimistic about you in the past, and as I expected, you will be promoted like this!" ”

Ai Hai glanced and said: "Mr. Song, take care of your big mouth, this is a big case, if you say anything more, you will die, don't worry, I will cover you in the future!" ”

Song Shixiong had a gentlemanly demeanor, raised his hand and took off his hat, bowed and said, "Then thank you to Team Ai, please!" ”

A carriage stopped on the side of the road, Ai Hai thought about it, stopped, and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, are you a scholar or should you please first!" ”

Song Shixiong didn't seem to hear the sarcastic tone, and said with a big grin: "Oh, then the old brother will go first, I wish the vice president of the Ai team will be promoted to the captain position as soon as possible!" ”

Ai Hai hugged his fists and said: "Then I also wish Mr. Song, every day to make money, and business is prosperous!" ”

Ai Hai went directly back to the third hall of the Criminal Department to meet Bao Tong and reported to the chief the progress of the "Household Treasury Silver Theft Case". After listening to Ai Hai's complaint, Bao Tong looked weird, glanced at Ai Hai a few times, glanced at the past, Ai Hai lowered his head, there was no expression on his face, and secretly wondered: Why didn't he think that this part of the human body was a big loophole, it shouldn't be, and he didn't think that Li Guolou was smart again, so he felt better and slowly calmed down.

"Deputy Ai Team, well done, the officer knows, go down and wait for the officer's order." Bao Tong didn't show an easy-going appearance in front of every subordinate, but now he put on an official posture and spoke with a full shelf.

"Pierce." It was not the first time that Ai Hai had entered the third hall, his expression did not move, he maintained a steady appearance, turned to leave, and bit his lower lip with his teeth to prevent himself from snickering.

"Mr. Lin, take my post and go to see Yu Shuzhen, the right attendant of the household department, and say that I will visit him in person." Bao turned around and said, ready to go home.

Lin Qingxie said in a low voice: "Lord Bao, are you condescending, you are a grade with Lord Yu, for this case, you have worked hard to visit this old fox, isn't it too wronged to be too wronged!" ”

"Hey, Mr. Lin, when did I care about fame and fortune, since Prince Gong instructed me to do a good job of the emperor's mission, I can only work with the old fox, so tonight, save me a lot of dreams at night, go." The bag was transferred back to the back lounge, and this is the end of today's work.

"Pierce." Lin Qingxie turned to leave, a snicker immediately appeared on his face, and he walked with his head down, not daring to let others see his sneaky smile.

Ai Hai turned out of the three halls, and did not return to his own compound, but went to report to Yao Cuo, and asked for instructions and reports at the first level in order to sit firmly in his seat, how could Ai Hai dare to set up another mountain.

Yao Cuo sighed bitterly at Xingyunfeng in the room, and said sadly: "Hey, Xing Dad, this time I made a wrong move, I shouldn't have taken Wu Defu's wife and children in, now it's okay, I still have to work for them to work for the house, teachers, and even the two children to study, I have to keep an eye on it, what do you say!" ”

"Big brother, you've taken a bite." Xing Yunfeng spied on Yao Cuo's expression.

"No, no." Yao Cao shook his beard, firmly denying that he was covetous.

Ai Hai laughed, pushed open the door, and said, "Okay Dad, you don't ask right, of course it's not big, it's early!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey." Yao was not easy to deny, so he could only smirk a few times to hide his embarrassed expression.

Xing Yunfeng blamed: "Big brother, this is your mistake, you can't favor one over the other, Luo Yunxia is still good, isn't it the best of both worlds to be included in the room!" ”

Yao Cuo waved his hand and said: "Don't do it, that will lose my righteous Bo Yuntian name, I want to learn from Guan Erye, ten years like a day, so that my brothers, wives and children can be taken care of!" ”

Ai Hai sighed: "Big brother, even if you want to, Luo Yunxia will not let you go when the time comes, this woman still has a set, even Xiao Lizi and Sister Xiaofang have a headache when they see her, your wife can only listen to dramas and play cards, but Luo Yunxia can get rid of the problem of listening to dramas, and she will stay in Baozhifang to learn to do business, who will help you in your career, big brother, you should have a rod and scale in your heart!" ”

"Hmmm······" Yao Cuo stroked a big beard and squinted in thought.

Xingyunfeng slapped the table with his big hand and shouted: "Then take it, learn from Xiao Lizi, and salute Xiao Lizi!" ”

"Yes, big brother, Xiao Lizi, the woman who can't see the light, I also heard it, do you want to know, the last time Balizhuang fought, do you remember the two cannons, hehehehehe!"

"Tell me, what kind of pass to buy, who is not good to learn, go learn the treacherous little plum, look for a draw." Xingyunfeng put on the posture of the fourth brother to scare the Thirteen Taibao.

There was laughter in the room, Yao Cuo, Xingyunfeng, Ai Hai, talking nonsense, waiting for the time to get off work, they still had to drink and listen to the drama at night, power is a good thing, you can exchange it for wanting to live.

Li Guolou returned home, first practiced boxing, hit sandbags in the living room of the inner house, and practiced with boxing master French Jack and others for two hours, which was over, and when he finished taking a bath, it was already completely dark, and Chen Xiangfang and Mayuko were waiting for him to eat in the dining room.

Li Guolou enjoyed the half-cooked steak and boiled chicken alone, chewing violently, and saying that it was delicious.

Chen Xiangfang shook her head and said: "Xiaolou, it would be nice if the guests of Baozhi Room were as easy to handle as you, and you don't need to use your brains to flip through the menu!" ”

"Hey, I'm telling myself, I have to endure hardship, I have to do too much, just like Zeng Greenqin, enjoy life in the palace, the front line braves the artillery fire, and with my subordinates, I have to bear a lot of things, dirty living habits, vulgar language, difficult to swallow food, the smell of the sleeping place, I have to do too many things, and then I am a little confused, I don't know where to go." Li Guolou put down the teacup in his hand and thought about where to realize the dream of a rich country and a strong army.

"Mike, I think you better go to Tianjin, know more about your enemies, so that you can defeat them." Mayuko poured the teacup in front of Li Guolou, with a hazy smile on her face.

"Hey, Japanese." Li Guolou looked at Mayuko, and there was a chill in his heart, a rapidly rising eastern neighbor, bought a few ironclad warships from the Americans, and established a generation of navy earlier than the Qing Empire, the Qing Dynasty fought a civil war, and Japan had risen.

Japan and the Great Qing Dynasty Tianjin signed the "Repair Regulations" and the "Trade Regulations: Customs Tariff Rules", but the vested interests of the Great Qing Dynasty could not be compared with the Western powers, and did not include the "one and equal" preferential country clause, nor did it give Japan the right to do business in the interior of the Yangtze River, and stipulated that the treaties were mutual, the Japanese government was dissatisfied with the treaty, and in May 1872 sent Yanagihara Maezitsu to the Qing Dynasty again to ask for a revision of the treaty, which was rejected by Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili and the minister of trade affairs of Beiyang, which aggravated the Japanese government's dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Japan's Meiji Empire abolished the shogunate feudal system, and paid "the old feudal ruler Ieroku and the government the principal and interest on the outstanding feudal debts, and spent half of the government's actual revenue." In the later period, it even reached 94%, and these burdens were directly passed on to the Japanese people, arousing strong dissatisfaction among the people, and there were even riots in some places, and there were six riots of more than 10,000 people.

In order to pass on the domestic contradictions, the radical soldiers Saigo Takamori, Eto Taira, Sakatsune and others put forward the "Korean Expedition Theory" and proposed to immediately send troops to Korea in an attempt to invade the Korean War, transfer the power of the Shi clan overseas, and avoid the decline and destruction of the Meiji government, but Saigo Takamori and others were suppressed by the Senator Iwakura Gushi and others who advocated the slow progress of the Meiji government, and the internal contradictions within the ruling class intensified, and on January 14, 1874, Iwakura Gushi was assassinated, and in February, the untamed Efuji and others launched the Saga Rebellion. The internal political turmoil intensified, and although the Japanese government put down the rebellion, this rebellion became the driving force for the Japanese government to invade the foreign country.

Japan's covetous heart, quietly revealed, with the support of the United States, constantly spied on the bottom line of the Qing Dynasty, and wanted to annex Ryukyu, Korea, Taiwan, the Qing Dynasty had people of insight, full of vigilance against Japan, at this time the Ryukyu island country from the original tribute to the Qing Dynasty, into Japan's support of the vassal state, also under the control of the Japanese government, the Qing Empire was suppressed by the Western powers, even Japan did not dare to offend, swallowed his anger and gave up the status of the Ryukyu vassal lord.

Internal and external troubles and thoughts were entangled in his heart, Li Guolou was not interested in talking, stood up, and said, "I'll go back to the room to read and write!" ”

"Hey." Mayuko also followed behind Li Guolou, she wanted to light Li Guolou's lamp, grind ink, pour tea and water, serve Li Guolou to sleep, take care of Li Guolou's life, Japanese women did a good job, although Mayuko's belly was already bulging, but she still liked to stay by Li Guolou's side to compete for favor.

At the desk in the bedroom, Li Guolou read quietly without distraction, in order to make a difference in the Qing Empire, he read the Four Books and Five Classics hard, which was also a temporary cramming, and when it came to the exam, he wanted to apply what he had learned.

Chen Xiangfang sat on the edge of the boat, making embroidery drawings for Mayuko's unborn children, making children's clothes, and Mayuko also made embroidery pictures, and a family looked very harmonious.

"Isn't it pretty?" Chen Xiangfang couldn't bear the drowsiness, and handed it to Li Guolou with an embroidery drawing, and in the dead of night, her voice was ethereal.

But I saw that on the red silk belly pocket, the golden silk thread embroidered a blooming peony.

"Well, it's good-looking, I'll go to see the Chaoyang demolition project tomorrow, I don't know how they are doing." Although Li Guolou wants to make a fortune, he still hopes that the demolition project will go smoothly and that there will be no bad acts of forced demolition.

Chen Xiangfang's hand trembled slightly, and she hurriedly said: "Xiaolou, this is none of your business, what are you going to see!" ”

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Why don't you care about me, the property in Chaoyang area, in the future, it will be Lingling, Mayuko's children, and other children in our big family, how can I let you bear the infamy!" ”

"That's a good feeling." Chen Xiangfang had joy on her face, panicked in her heart, afraid of the demolition project in Chaoyang area, and what happened was known to Li Guolou.

It seems that the door of the inner house will be opened early tomorrow morning, and the first one will notify Xiao Liuzi to remedy, so as not to let Li Guolou see what is happening in the Chaoyang area.

Chen Xiangfang is the head of the gangster, and there are some things on her shoulders, so she doesn't want Li Guolou to know, and if she tricks Li Guolou into sleeping, everything will be fine.

Chen Xiangfang looked at Mayuko on the edge of the bed, and on a spring night, they needed to hug each other and sleep.

"Mike, you don't have the heart to study, you still think about the sunrise plan in your head, go to sleep, your son wants you to touch it before he sleeps." Mayuko stroked her stomach and beckoned Li Guolou to go to bed.

Where can Li Guolou read the book of sages, casually flipping through the outline and perfunctory, as soon as he heard about his son, he became energetic, tiptoed to the bedside, bowed his head and put it on Mayuko's stomach, and smiled: "Well, I heard it, it's my son!" ”

"Son, I want my dad to sleep with him." Mayuko was extremely gentle, and stroked Li Guolou's young face with both hands.

"Xiaolou, go to sleep, you're tired these days." Chen Xiangfang knew that Li Guolou was overworked these days, and he should rest before the exam.

"Oh, I'm tired too, let's sleep." Li Guolou picked up Mayuko and gently put Mayuko into the quilt.

Li Guolou covered the quilt for Chen Xiangfang and Mayuko who were sleeping, lay down between the two, kissed goodbye when the three of them were asleep, and blew out the oil lamp, "God bless us, Amen!" ”

"God bless us, Amen." All three of them are believers in God, believing that they have a moral family and are faithful believers in God, and God will bless them in this life.
