Chapter 152: Where there is faith, there is spiritual sustenance

The three superior people got out of the carriage, and the merchant Zhang Yaozu's house was very easy to find, and there was a spirit flag at the door, and the Taoist priest could hear the sound of chanting scriptures on the street.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, he came to worship the deceased Zhang Yaozu, only Li Guolou and his party of five people, the deceased did not come out of the funeral, lying in a coffin, the Chinese people have the tradition of worshiping the deceased, bowing and kowtowing to the coffin.

Zhang Yaozu was originally a businessman, and three Westerners, one Oriental, and one fake foreigner came to the house to worship the deceased, although it looked very strange, but the family of the deceased still knelt on the ground and thanked him meticulously.

Li Guolou handed over the money of the mourners, there was a whole and a zero, five people signed, gave ten taels of silver and five Tongzhi brothers, Li Guolou made a generous move, and a group of family members cried to Li Guolou and others.

Next, a woman took out five bowls of rice balls from the cauldron and gave them to Li Guolou and others, each bowl of rice balls contained two filled rice balls, symbolizing that the family would be reunited in the future.

Li Guolou said to the steward who entertained them: "Mr. Kong, please call out the heir of the deceased Zhang Yaozu's estate, I have some relics of the deceased here to give her!" ”

After a while, three women came out, with four children, and they all focused their eyes on the cane in Li Guolou's hand, and they paid attention to the cane when Li Guolou entered the door.

This is the epitome of the ancients' system of three wives and four concubines, one wife and two equal wives have the right to inherit and enjoy the same treatment, and the other wives and children are considered partial houses, and they have no inheritance rights, so they all have to look at the faces of these three women to live.

Li Guolou said: "The next Li Guolou is arrested by the Beijing Division, Mr. Zhang Yaozu happened to pass by the scene before he died, but unfortunately it was too late, the silver box was robbed by me from the robbers, I'm really sorry, I didn't have time to save Mr. Zhang Yaozu!" ”

Li Guolou knelt down and kowtowed to the widow of the deceased to confess his guilt, he was also a fellow robber, he did not avenge the deceased, just because he was a man in the rivers and lakes, and if he was gracious, he would repay the kindness, he owed a robber a life, and he could only let go of the robber and other comrades.

There was another burst of sorrow and weeping and asking why.

Li Guolou burst into tears and said: "I have been in the yamen for a long time, and I know that it is dark inside, so I brought the valuable relics on Mr. Zhang Yaozu in person, please forgive me, I can't talk about the case anymore, if there is any difficulty at home in the future, come to the criminal department to find me!" ”

The crutches were handed to his wife first, and after the relics on the deceased Zhang Yaozu's body, broken silver, copper coins and a stack of silver tickets were handed over, Li Guolou bowed and turned around.

"Sir Li, can the robbers be caught!"

The hissing and screaming made Li Guolou speechless, and choked up: "I will give you an explanation, don't worry!" ”

The three women grabbed Li Guolou's clothes and prevented Li Guolou from leaving, begging him to tell them how Zhang Yaozu died.

Li Guolou lowered his head, still speechless to the family of the deceased, he is the embodiment of justice and evil, there is no integrity at all, the good side still exists, but the people in the rivers and lakes want to mix in the rivers and lakes, only the rivers and lakes see the high and low, the bizarre braided country, created a group of black pressure and horseshoe sleeve people, either obscurity to be a compassionate citizen, or tend to be the peak of power, Li Guolou is no longer the reckless upright and kind straight intestine when he just returned to China, his ideal is to be strong, strong enough to compete with any power.

The evening bell rang, startling a flock of pigeons on the bell tower, the Catholic Xikai Church was sacred and solemn in the twilight, the church was full of candles, some people went in and some people went out, and Li Guolou knelt on the ground to confess to the Father and the Mother of Heaven without faith.

Yelia Wood ran into the confessional room to confess to the priest that she had lost her good nature because of her love affair with the infidels, and that she wanted the Lord to show her the right direction.

The choir children started the evening class, and the sound of the natural sound and the organ sounded in the church, and people in this environment would abandon the worldly things, and the tall alms box kept people throwing money, gold, silver, treasures, and ornaments into it, and Li Guolou was also lined up behind.

Li Guolou suddenly felt that believing in Jesus and eternal life was his future pursuit, and people always had to have faith, and when they were young, they pursued the ultimate sense of the body, and when they were old, they could only put their souls on spiritual beliefs.

Yelia was very satisfied with Li Guolou's performance, and said approvingly: "Mike, will you believe in God!" ”

Li Guolou said: "As long as I can marry you, I am willing to convert to Catholicism!" ”

"I will also convert to Catholicism." Mayuko confessed.

"Well, then let's have a Han wedding first, and then a luxurious Western wedding at the British Clan, and the bishop won't come to us to exchange rings by himself." Yelia said.

"Is that okay?" Li Guolou hesitated.

"Whatever, go through the form, it's a big deal, I'll repent again." Yeliah was so bold.

Li Guolou asked, "Yelia, what did you confess to the priest!" ”

Yelia sighed and said: "The gods of the West are the same as the gods of the East, there is money that can make the devil grind, I spent the money, the priests have forgiven me, you don't have to worry, we will continue at night!" ”

The carriage drove over, and Li Guolou asked, "Yelia, where are we going to eat at night!" ”

Yelia stepped into the carriage and said, "Master Liu, go home." He turned his head and said, "Mike, what kind of dinner are you going to have, two balls make me sick now, I'll be hungry later, let Edward make a sandwich!" ”

Mayuko said: "I don't want to eat dinner either, Mike Don't show off on the street, people can't see you wearing clothes at night!" ”

Mayuko saw through Li Guolou's love to show off his nature, and took two foreign women to walk on the street, just to show that he was a successful businessman.

Behind Li Guolou Mayuko, he slapped Mayuko's ass, the little Japanese women are going to be beaten, they are already addicted to men, and they can't do it if they don't fight.

Mayuko twisted her waist, turned her head to look at Li Guolou, and said, "Mike Jun, be serious outside, I'm a serious Japanese woman!" ”

Li Guolou got into the carriage and said, "Master Liu, stop in front of the coffee shop of Mox Cafe, I'll go down and buy some smoked sausages and bring some back to Beijing!" ”

Mayuko said: "Mike, don't give me European smoked sausages, I and Koizumi-kun don't like to eat it!" ”

Li Guolou said: "Yelia, buy more things and go back, otherwise the family will talk about me!" ”

Yelia hugged Li Guolou tightly and said coquettishly: "No, let's go home and let Edward and Xie Rui do these things, they want to stay here for a while, I just want to stay with you more!" ”

Li Guolou asked, "Yelia, are you used to eating my food?" ”

Yelia said: "I will get used to it slowly, my grandmother has good skills, and she can already make toast, Mike, you have to ask someone to bring me milk every day, and there are no other requirements!" ”

Li Guolou asked, "Yelia, isn't the cheese good!" ”

Yelia said, "Fresh milk is a must, and cheese is also required!" ”

Li Guolou sighed: "Yelia, serving you is like serving Lafayette, the requirements are really high!" ”

Yelia leaned up and said, "I'll reward you!" ”

Li Guolou immediately pulled up the curtain in front of him, so that outsiders could not see what was happening in the carriage, the three of them hugged and teased each other, and when they arrived at the Mox Cafe, the carriage stopped, and several people got off, the taste of Blue Mountain coffee attracted them, and it was also a good choice to have dinner here.

Edward and Xie Rui were still the first to enter the Mox Cafe, behind Li Guolou, and said, "Yelia, if you become your servant, you will never leave again, they are already middle class!" ”

Yelia smiled: "Mike, aren't you the same, the servant is a godson, rich and woman, and has been sold to you all his life!" ”

Li Guolou said: "It's better to have money, my master seems to be a revolutionary, in fact, he spends money to buy killers, and then instills faith in the killers, so that people are determined to do it with him, Yelia, you are also taking this road now, it is very dangerous!" ”

Yelia wants to cultivate Li Guolou's family into a Catholic family, wouldn't Li Guolou's whole family be led by Yelia's nose, and Li Guolou is a little unwilling to be taken away by Yelia in the future.

Yelia looked at Li Guolou and said, "Don't joke about faith, otherwise you won't be rewarded!" ”

Yelia is not worried that Li Guolou will be disobedient at all, since she knew Li Guolou, Li Guolou has listened to her, even on the body of Mayuko, and she is also asked to give orders, and then Yelia will control Li Guolou's every move, who calls her old and experienced people at the helm, Li Guolou will not capsize, Yelia has discovered the dark side of Li Guolou, Li Guolou is by no means a fart who follows the back of the chief's ass, can make friends with the underworld and rebels, and his ambition is greater than the sky.

Drinking Blue Mountain coffee, Li Guolou said: "Mayuko, we won't live in your house tomorrow, if you look at me like this, I will be beaten by your husband, and then I will send some gifts to your husband, let's break up!" ”

Mayuko bowed and said, "Hey, I see, please Mike work hard tonight, work hard!" ”

Yelia said: "Don't take Mayuko's souvenirs, just take them back and eat them, and if you eat them all, there will be no trouble!" ”

Mayuko hesitated for the first time, looking at Li Guolou silently, pitiful and about to cry.

Li Guolou said: "Mayuko, give that batch of stolen goods to Koizumi-kun, he must like this story!" ”

Yelia nodded and said, "Hey, my husband must like it, I have another request, please Mike agree!" ”

"Say, I'm not going to be fooled again." Li Guolou was not polite.

Mayuko stretched out her right hand and said, "Please Mike give me your pocket watch, there is a photo of you on it, I will have power as long as I see your photo, don't worry, two masters, I can't find Koizumi-kun hiding something!" ”

Li Guolou was reluctant, this pocket watch followed him to stay abroad, although it is not a gold watch, it is not valuable, it has been repaired several times, but it already has feelings, his two grandmothers have not made such a request, the little Japanese woman is too much.

Yelia saw it and said casually: "Mike give it to Mayuko, I'll buy you one tomorrow, and I'll stick my photo on it, will you always know!" ”

Li Guolou had a bitter face and said, "Dear Yelia, what about the two grandmothers above!" ”

Yelia laughed and said, "Put it in your wallet!" ”

Li Guolou reluctantly took out his pocket watch and handed it to Mayuko, staring at Mayuko with tears in her eyes, how would this little Japanese woman kill her husband, Li Guolou had already thought of a foolproof murder trick,
