In the Michelin restaurant in the French Concession, Tarzan of the Apes and his old lover Jenny had dinner together, a blonde Jenny came from the United States to help her lover, the two drank wine, ate half-cooked beef 'meat', smiled on their faces, foreigners knew the rules, a group of admirers of Tarzan of the Apes did not disturb the two of them to have a candlelight dinner, but stood at the entrance of the restaurant' door, waiting for Tarzan of the Apes to appear, they wanted to get the autograph of Tarzan of the Apes.

Jenny was quite strange, she was about to have a boxing match, and her lover Tarzan, the ape, was not in a hurry at all, and he was still in the mood to accompany her out for Western food.

"Taishan, you are so sure, don't you worry about that yellow man." Jenny was originally a reporter for the Global Times in the United States, and she likes to get to the bottom of things.

"Hmph, yellow people, what is there to be afraid of, I will only use my 'essence' strength on the belly of the 'female', my dear, you can rest assured, fight a dog with pigtails, or three rounds." Although it was a buffet, the voice of Tarzan of the Apes was still audible to the people at the next table.

Tarzan of the apes didn't know how to read, Jenny took a newspaper and read it to him: "According to reliable sources, Mike Lee has wanted to surrender on his knees, unwilling to fight this boxing match, but was forced to come to the game by the Qing Emperor, so now it is so hot that the rich and powerful Mike Lee did not dare to bet on all his belongings like last time, and bet 50,000 taels of silver in his personal name, until now the odds of the boxing match are still high, and the latest odds offered by various gambling stalls are 3 to 1. Li Ju is not cut to his person, especially the people of Tianjin, have bet on the legendary star of France, Tarzan, the gambling money in other regions is unknown for the time being, but this boxing match has attracted the attention of the world, according to the owner of the Captain Iron Hook casino one-eyed dragon Jack said, this boxing match organized by him, he has recovered the cost, he doesn't care who wins and who loses, he just hopes to play out the level of the style, so that this boxing match has become a classic in history, well······· I won't read it later, it's all the 'flower' edge news of the two of us, hehehehe! ”

Tarzan of the apes smiled and said, "Dear Jenny, after this boxing match, we will get married, please marry me, okay?" After saying that, Tarzan of the apes took out the engagement ring that had been prepared in advance, knelt in front of Jenny, and the waiter next to him also handed over a bouquet of red roses.

The touching scene couldn't help but make people stand up and ovate, and the hall was full of, "Marry him, marry him, marry him!" ”

Jenny was touched by Tarzan of the Apes, covered her mouth with tears in her eyes, and nodded slightly.

Tarzan of the apes was 'excited', and after putting on Jenny's engagement ring, he ignored it, hugged Jenny affectionately, hugged Jenny, and had a romantic hug 'kiss' in the restaurant, which attracted a round of exclamations, the camera in the hands of the reporters flickered, and the reporters were quite excited.

"Mr. Tarzan, could you please share your thoughts on Mike Lee?" Pravda reporter Eugene, crowded in the crowd most comprehensively, shouted the loudest.

"Yellow people, vulnerable, Mike, you wait to die." Tarzan roared loudly at several reporters, then boarded the carriage with Jenny and walked away.

Pravda reporter Eugene and photojournalist Qu Taf, the two rushed back to the agency, ready to send a draft, Eugene pushed the glasses frame and said: "Qu Tav, it's a little suspicious, Tarzan of the Apes is like coming out for a show, who taught him, it's too fake!" ”

"Whatever, if you have material to write, you can get it, and tomorrow we will dig up the secret 'privacy' of the Mike family, and the sales of our Pravda will double." Qu Tav raised the camera in his hand, there was a kiss 'kiss' photo to be posted, and the editor-in-chief couldn't laugh.

Eugene Fox doubted: "But I always feel that the ape Tarzan money is not coming from the right way, where did he get so much money to buy diamond rings, and he wants to immigrate to the United States, and said that Jeanne will live a happy life, live in the 'flower' garden villa, and raise Jenny for a lifetime, Tarzan of the apes will not box, how much money can be used to support the elderly, do you think he will be bought by Mike, and deliberately lose in the boxing match!" ”

Kutav stopped suddenly, scratched his head and scratched his ears, "Hmm······ Eugene, what you said is very likely, Mike likes to make small moves behind his back, tomorrow you go and find out, what the hell is Mike doing! ”

"Hmm······ It makes sense that it's time to move this dark move. "Eugene is 'spirited' and weird, rolling a pair of eyes, and there are a lot of dirty thoughts in his mind.

Qu Tav smiled and said: "Forget it, Eugene, when the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, it has already become an old woman, if you don't have this diamond, don't take this porcelain job, let me come!" ”

"Hmph, not necessarily, I have a lot of opportunities." Eugene is looking forward to Li Guolou's restless house, so he can 'touch' the fish in troubled waters.

Eugene and Ku Tav walked in the night with high spirits, conquered a hill, and were about to climb another peak, and the inferior corners of the Li Mansion helpers were no longer in their eyes, they wanted to make Li Guolou wear a green hat, this is what French friends do, and the love history of "waves" is the lifelong pursuit of the French.

In the morning, Li Hongzhang listened to the translator read the contents of Pravda in the Sanjiangkou Governor's Ya'men, and his face was 'pale' gloomy and terrible, he couldn't be happy, Li Guolou didn't come to see him, he didn't come out in the concession, so many things to do, but he went to fight with foreigners like a child, the most annoying thing for him was that Li Guolou didn't know how to avoid doing business, and hung the business under his name in the names of several ladies, and was impeached by the imperial history for this matter, I don't know if the Tongzhi Emperor would cure Li Guolou's crimes, the young man's brain was wrong, and he didn't know which was more important, like he never came forward to do business by himself, wouldn't it be better to 'hand' it to relatives and friends.

Originally, Li Hongzhang also wanted to take Li Guolou to visit Russia, Prussia, France, Britain and other Western powers, but when he thought of Li Guolou's tail to the sky, he didn't want to take Li Guolou to visit, young people should hone at the bottom for a long time, the comprehensive cooperation between the Qing Empire and the Prussian Empire is his credit, and Li Guolou can't be allowed In the middle, he wants to make full success in negotiating with King Wilhelm I of Prussia and Prime Minister Bismarck, Li Guolou should make money as an official and businessman, Li Hongzhang has seen that Li Guolou is ambitious, he wants to suppress Li Guolou's upward momentum, and the officialdom pays attention to the 'door', which way Li Guolou is counted, all factions are vying to win over first, and the people on the left and right are unreliable, so Li Guolou must be allowed to show his attitude and correct his thinking.

Li Hongzhang learned from the translator what Li Guolou had done in the concession recently, and he was quite satisfied, and he was right to stay at home, colluding with foreigners would not end well, so he waved his hand to let the translator go down, and said to his master Xu Xuan: "Li Guolou is deaf to my orders, what do you say to deal with him!" ”

Xu Zhan replied: "Lord Fu Xiang, you can't just pass on a message, now Li Guolou is on the grounds of a holiday, the reason is there, my lord, you should issue an order, and let him come to Sanjiangkou to see you directly!" ”

"Well, that's reasonable, if the stinky boy wants to put up a fight for me, I'll kill him." Li Hongzhang was secretly annoyed, Li Guolou was very cautious, he actually grabbed the financial power of Xinwutang, refused to let go, and wanted to play 'yin' tricks with him, this time he would definitely pick up a layer of Li Guolou's skin.

"But Li Guolou still uses the holiday as an excuse, delaying the time, it will not be easy to do, Lord Fu Xiang, you should urgently urge him on official business, ask him for 1 million silver, and scare him, so that he will come to beg you immediately, and if you don't know how to play him, you will be embarrassed." After a while, Xu Zhan came up with a good idea for Li Hongzhang, and when dealing with rich people, he had to be scared and 'Meng'.

"Hmm······ That's it. Li Hongzhang stroked his beard, nodded slightly and watched Xu Qian write the order, which should have written the tone more seriously.

He wants to go abroad to visit the Western powers, although he wants to take Li Guolou abroad, but when he goes to the Western countries, he needs to pay attention to what to avoid, and the terms of the contract also need Li Guolou to refer to in detail. essence, and then change his face to become his, he has already made rules for this set, Li Hongzhang knows why Li Guolou avoids him, but the world is such a reality, big fish eat small fish, as long as he is a scholar of the Yingwu Palace of the Qing Empire, Li Guolou, a fake Manchurian and a real Han man, still has to follow his crutches.

Liu Mingchuan hurriedly walked into the lobby, looked angry, and said with anger: "Master Fu Xiang, I went to Xiaozhan Town to check the construction site, those rabbit cubs have already come, and they have already started teaching, Liu Jie didn't even inform me, and asked me to talk to him with officialdom etiquette, the bear of 'milk' and 'milk', the seven-grade sesame official, dared to speak to me like this, the tiger is not powerful, when I am a sick cat!" ”

Li Hongzhang was stunned, and said hurriedly: "Liu Liumazi, you are not mistaken, didn't the students of the Xinwutang say that they will come after the fifteenth day of the first month of the first month of last year!" ”

Liu Mingchuan is about forty years old, tall and burly, with a beard, he is from a poor peasant, ranked sixth, and because of the hemp skin on his face, he is called Liu Liu, and now this title, only the chief, old friends will call him so, Li Hongzhang calls him so, that is, he is regarded as his own brother.

Liu Mingchuan stomped his feet and said angrily: "Master Fu Xiang, you were deceived by fake foreign devils, he used your tiger skin to recruit students from Anhui, the establishment of 800 people is full, and now let those new students live in grass huts, and they are collecting their bones, I am also strange, how can a fake foreign devil understand the military training of foreigners, he can train with his family, what is going on!" ”

Li Hongzhang was quite surprised, the new martial arts hall was still under construction, the instructors of the military academy had not yet been in place, Li Guolou did not have the resources of the army in his hands, he was the governor of Zhili, and the troops in the Gyeonggi region were under his jurisdiction, and no officer dared to serve Li Guolou, how could the new martial arts hall start teaching on its own.

"Oh······" Li Hongzhang suddenly realized, no wonder Li Guolou hid in the British concession and refused to come to see him, so he used to make a 'yin' move, repaired the plank road in the open, and secretly Chen Cang, and began to cultivate cronies.

Xu Zhan saw Li Hongzhang's gaze inquiring at him, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Provincial three, do you see that those instructors are all Li Guolou's family members, are there any 'attendants' and guards in the interior!" ”

Liu Mingchuan roared loudly: "Master Xu, what kind of person am I, as soon as I take the pulse, I can see what the origin of those rabbit cubs is, and those who dare to be disrespectful to me are only the gang of Goshha under the fake foreign ghosts, if Lao Tzu has the power in his hands, these rabbit cubs will be whipped, that piece of mother's land, that big donkey bear, I feel that I kicked the fake foreign devils and shrugged their farts·······"

Li Hongzhang heard Liu Mingchuan start to scold his mother in his hometown, but he laughed out loud and said with a smile: "Liu Liumazi, your age is not small, be steady, your future fame will depend on Xinwutang, be a low-key person, don't make trouble with Li Guolou, I will stand up for you in everything, what kind of system will you roar into!" ”

Liu Mingchuan sulked, swaggered down to drink tea, and didn't talk about the rules of officialdom at all, which made Li Hongzhang like it, a rough man with tendons, he wouldn't betray him, like Li Guolou, who was left and right, and who also liked to engage in 'yin' tricks, could not be trusted by him.
