Chapter Forty-Eight: The Hokage of the White Lotus Sect
Li Guolou accompanied eleven fake foreign devils to listen to the opera and left the club together. There were four-wheeled carriages parked at the door, but there were not enough. Li Guolou could only sit in the same carriage as Yu Hanbing, with an oil lamp at the front of the carriage to guide it, and only the carriage creaked in the dim street.
Yu Hanbing looked at Li Guolou and said, "Little Lizi, you have to bring a gun when you walk at night, if you toss like this, many people will want you to die." β
Li Guolou smiled and said, "Brother Yu, I haven't reached the point of crossing the street rat yet, what will I Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·do in the future?" As long as Brother Yu doesn't shoot me coldly, my life will be long. β
Yu Hanbing replied: "Hey! Coincidental! My family has cold guns, but I don't have real knives and real guns. β
The two played haha together, both regarded each other as friends, and mentioned it a little, the long night pulled the relationship between the two in, and casual talk was the best way to pass the time.
The carriage turned a corner and came to Majia Hutong, not far in front of Huamanlou, which is also a place of drunken dreams and death, Li Guolou and Yu Hanbing both invariably raised the curtains of the car windows, and looked at the long strings of lanterns on both sides of the street, a novel oil lamp.
There was a dull sound in the night, this was the sound of a flintlock pistol, and Li Guolou and Yu Hanbing could hear it as soon as they heard it. Both of them were stunned, hurriedly opened the front car door, and poked their heads out to see what was happening on the street.
But I heard "Da Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" The strange sound came from far and near, and a ghost shadow of more than a foot passed by them quickly, what kind of scene is this, Li Guolou, who has never believed in ghosts and gods, stared blankly at the ghost shadow away.
Yu Hanbing pushed the coachman and asked, "Did you see that?" β
The coachman hurriedly said, "I saw a ghost." β
Yu Hanbing said: "I saw it too, did you see Xiao Lizi?" β
Li Guolou reacted and said hurriedly: "There are really ghosts!" It's so fast! β
Yu Hanbing said solemnly: "I saw a ghost and glanced at you." β
Li Guolou said angrily: "Brother Yu, this joke is the worst joke, don't say it in the future." β
There was a lot of noise in front of him, Li Guolou didn't think much about it, jumped out of the carriage, and said, "Go and see what's going on?" β
Li Guolou rushed in front, there were already many onlookers in front of the door of the building, there was a corpse on the ground, a blood hole was right in front of the chest, and the big blood flower had already soaked the placket of the clothes.
Li Guolou shouted: "Disperse, I'm catching fast." β
The guy in the building was carrying a lantern, and Li Guolou took it away, and he wanted to take a closer look at the corpse. Li Guolou didn't dare to look at it after taking a look, and a pair of eyes of the corpse were gouged out.
Li Guolou turned his head and asked the guy who was full of flowers, and said, "What the hell is going on?" β
The guy had a pimple and said, "This master is a distinguished guest, and he was shot by a ghost as soon as he went out, no matter what happened to us spending a lot of money, this is on the street." I didn't see it. β
Li Guolou grabbed the placket of the guy's shirt and threatened: "How do you know that it was the black gun fired by the black shadow when you didn't see it, say!" β
The guy hurriedly said: "I came out when I heard the gunshot, and I only saw ghostsΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Li Guolou said: "Say! β
The fellow let out a trembling voice and said, "That ghost is gouging out its eyes." β
The surrounding crowd exclaimed, and the corner of Li Guolou's clothes was pulled by Yu Hanbing.
Li Guolou had never seen Yu Hanbing's face so ugly, Li Guolou understood in his heart, and said that he would protect the scene and deliver the corpse on the ground to Hua Manlou's guys, who called the dead man to come out of Hua Manlou.
Li Guolou did a quick arrest, he knew the rules, and dragged Hua Manlou into this case, no matter whether the case could be solved or not, Hua Manlou would bleed profusely.
Li Guolou walked into the courtyard of Huamanlou, although the cold wind was biting, Li Guolou and Yu Hanbing were still standing in the courtyard and talking.
Li Guolou was waiting for Yu Hanbing to speak, and there were many doubts in his heart that had no answers.
Finally, Yu Hanbing spoke: "Xiao Lizi, don't touch this case, I know that dead man." Any idea why you don't have eyes? β
Li Guolou shook his head and said, "How do I know about this kind of thing in the rivers and lakes." β
Yu Han looked at Li Guolou coldly, and said, "That's because Liang Bo deceived his teacher and betrayed his ancestors, so he was gouged out by the ghost." β
Li Guolou's hair was sparkling, and he said hurriedly: "What kind of sect rules are that?" β
Yu Hanbing became colder and colder, and said, "White Lotus Sect." β
Li Guolou thought of the ghost shadow that was as high as a foot, and his heart became colder and colder. The White Lotus Sect is a mysterious sect that can communicate with ghosts and gods, and it is full of legendary history. The White Lotus Sect was suppressed by the government again and again, but it was resurrected again and again, and he saw a ghost tonight, breaking through the imagination of human beings, is there really a ghost or god in the world?
Li Guolou asked softly, "Is that Liang Bo a traitor of the White Lotus Sect?" β
Yu Hanbing sneered and said, "It's still an official, you understand." β
Li Guolou said suspiciously: "May I ask Brother Yu, how will the government deal with this kind of case?" β
Yu Hanbing said without cutting down: "Conceal it, since it is a ghost and god who committed the crime, hide the case." You are just passing by, as long as you don't offend the eldest brother, you won't be allowed to take this kind of case, and when someone from the yamen comes, you can leave. Black guns can never be guarded, you get the idea. β
Li Guolou looked at the shining door and snorted coldly: "Since you have to use a musket to pass through the ghosts and gods, it seems that the White Lotus Sect can also keep pace with the times." Can Brother Yu tell me what is the name of that ghost shadow on the rivers and lakes? β
Yu Hanbing said: "I only know that his name is Hokage, not Han, no one has ever seen his true face, there is a legend that whoever sees the Hokage's eyes, there is only one way to die." β
Li Guolou shivered, lifeless in the cold night.
Li Guolou muttered to himself: "This is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing, and I am a little frightened." Next time I'll chase after the ghost and see how fast it goes. β
Yu Hanbing heard it and teased: "Little Lizi, don't think about it, the Hokage can fly." All you have to do is beg God not to let you meet the Hokage again, and that is the revenge of the Vengeance. My family didn't dare to mess with the people of the White Lotus Sect, there were people from the White Lotus Sect who came to the door, gave property, and respectfully invited them out of the city. β
Li Guolou heard the meaning of Yu Hanbing's words, the White Lotus Sect and the Elder Brotherhood are both anti-Qing Dynasty sects, although the doctrines are different, there are many ignorant doctrines, but the anti-Manchu Qing establishment of Han rule is the same, even if the Hokage hides in Yu Hanbing's lair, the people of the Elder Sect will not betray the Hokage. Li Guolou didn't believe that Yu Hanbing only knew about the Hokage, but he didn't want to say it, and he couldn't do it. Mixing in the rivers and lakes, half-truths and half-truths, people are covered with clouds, mountains and fogs, and sometimes tell you one thing, that is, your amulet, so some things are still not clear.
Li Guolou knew that he couldn't touch this case, but now that he has a low status, this matter is beyond his ability, and if he takes it up, there will be only disadvantages and no benefits. But he has a strong desire in his heart, and that is to be able to compete with the Hokage next time.
Li Guolou waited for the patrol officer and the arrester, but this time he didn't stay, and slipped away after a few words.
But Yu Hanbing's face was very ugly when he looked at Li Guolou, because Li Guolou was carrying a lantern and walking in the opposite direction, Li Guolou was looking at the traces left by the Hokage on the street, leaning on his body, following the same steps, and slowly disappearing around the corner.
Yu Hanbing took out the two iron balls in his sleeve and began to rotate them in the palm of his hand, he just liked to turn the iron balls when he couldn't sort out his thoughts. The habits of the big brother in the rivers and lakes are undoubtedly displayed on his face, and the cold and majestic demeanor has a murderous aura, and there is no longer the cheesiness of fake foreign devils. It turns out that Yu Hanbing's original face is not a fake foreign devil who worships foreign countries, so why is he desperately squeezing into the social circle of fake foreign devils?
Everyone has a mask, Yu Hanbing's heart will not be exposed, and he has to see where the future world will develop.
Li Guolou left the Huamanlou with the lantern, and the further back he went, the more he had a spectrum in his heart, he saw the footprints on the ground clearly, and the first loophole of the Hokage was found by him. Li Guolou blew out the lantern on the street four hundred meters away from Hua Manlou, because the loophole of the Hokage disappeared here.
Li Guolou looked at the dark and gloomy front, and said to himself, "Hokage! It turns out that you can only run 400 meters as fast as you can, so the next time we meet, let's have a 400-meter race. β
Li Guolou laughed loudly, as if he was making fun of the night, and after a while, Li Guolou turned to leave, and he seemed to feel a pair of eyes staring at his back in the night.
Li Guolou ran for more than an hour in the dark night, and finally returned to Hongchang Hutong, he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time at the door of a large house. With a smile on his face, it seems that the kung fu has not been lost, and he must make persistent efforts in the future, he must not lose his kung fu, and he will start practicing martial arts tomorrow, and he can't lose his skills because he is busy.
Thinking that banging on the door at night would wake up the neighbors, Li Guolou looked up at the courtyard wall, since the Hokage could fly, Li Guolou took five steps back, and began to rush to the wall for the first time. Although Li Guolou jumped off the wall and comforted the leper dog a few times, he was scolded loudly by the people in the yard, "Fake foreign devil **, which girl's yard do you want to climb?" β
Li Guolou fled into the south room in shame, and secretly vowed never to jump over the wall again.
