In the 61st year of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, the Qing court abolished the full-time officials of the Jiangxi Customs, replaced them with the governor of Jiangsu, and appointed the assistant governor of Shanghai.

The official system has changed, and now Shanghai's status is no longer comparable to that of the Kangxi period, and the prefect of Shanghai has also become Shanghai Dao, and he is a quasi-high-ranking official.

However, whether an official position enjoys authority and whether it has a prominent position is still related to the person in office.

Since the Huai army entered Shanghai and Li Hongzhang was promoted to the puppet governor of Jiangsu, his influence in Shanghai was second only to the foreigners in the United Lease and the French Concession.

And the cold and dark prison of Jianghaiguan was naturally taken over by the Huai army and became the private prison of the Li family.

At this time, in the Gengzi prison, a thin and obscene man was looking through the iron window, looking at the moonlight and feeling sorry for himself.

"Niang Xipi, when Lao Tzu goes out, I will kill you all!"

The man had sallow and loose skin, a pair of fish bubble eyes, two slender beards hanging from his upper lip, and a dog skin plaster on the mole on the corner of his forehead.

At this time, a jailer in a loose official uniform, holding a broken bowl, came over: "Xing Jiurou, it's time to eat!" ”

So saying, he threw the bowl on the ground.

The man who resembles Captain Jia is the legendary Xing Jiuliu, nicknamed Xing Jiurou.

He hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the rice bowl, divided it by two, and devoured the food mixed with sand.

"Master Jun, is there any smoke and soil, give the small one a whole point? A little bit is done, and the little ones want to smell it......"

Xing Jiurou lay on the haystack like a dead dog, stretched his hand out of the railing, and scratched hard.

"Phew, something like a dog, offended us Lord Zhou, and you still want to smoke? Dream on you! ”

The jailer kicked Xing Jiurou's hand, and the latter quickly retracted his hand.

When the jailer walked away, Xing Jiurou rubbed his hands and spat at the same time: "Dog Qiuba, when I get out, I'll kill you all!" ”

After speaking, he also flashed his arms, showing off his biceps brachii, which was almost undulating and thin.

Who would have thought that the jailer would have an amazing ear and suddenly rush back: "Dog, who are you scolding?" Who are you going to kill? ”

"Master Jun, Master Jun, you heard it wrong, I heard it wrong, I said I'm a dog, I'm a leper dog!"

Xing Jiurou was pressed to the railing by the jailer with his braids, and cried and shouted for mercy.

"Hmph, I don't need to be as knowledgeable as a dead man like you, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, your case was personally taken care of by Li Dashuai, and if you enter the Gengzi room, no one will be able to get out alive!" The jailer loosened Xing Jiurou's braid and threw him to the ground.

"Can't you? I just played drunk crazy when I drank flower wine, and I didn't sin to death! I was wronged! ”

Hearing that he was going to kill his head, Xing Jiurou was completely panicked, "Isn't killing the head going to be beheaded after the autumn?" Do you have a royal law for killing people directly? You can't kill me, I'm a good citizen, a great drop of good people! ”

"Whew! In Shanghai, in the Huaijun barracks, our Li Dashuai is the king! ”

The jailer was a veteran of the Huai Army, and he was relatively well-informed, he sneered and said, "Lao Tzu will let you be a ghost who understands, what good things did you kid do, don't you know?" Our Li Dashuai has already found out! ”

Hearing this, Xing Jiurou was stunned for a moment, and then left in a cold sweat.

Could it be ......

Xing Jiurou's mind unconsciously appeared two faces, an old man and a young man.

The old fool and the young fool are the two old eunuchs Li and Zhu Fugui.

Can't you?

Could it be that I secretly hid the matter of anti-thieves and rebels?

But I obviously threw the two of them into the pig boat before the Huai army entered the city?

Xing Jiurou thought that he had done it seamlessly, but he really couldn't figure out what went wrong.

The most important thing is that the master and servant are not so much a chaotic party, but two fools, that is, the kind that can't get a reward if they are caught and reported to the county lord (Zhu Fugui's tokens to prove his identity were all left in Hangzhou, kept by the great monk, and he only brought silver with him).

Then Li Dashuai can even find out this kind of thing?

Poof!

Xing Jiurou knelt down, stretched out his hand and pulled the jailer's pants, and cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Wronged, really wronged, I, Xing, am a good citizen of the Qing Dynasty, I have never thought about rebellion, I really don't have a thief......"

The jailer kicked him away and said disgustedly: "What nonsense are you talking about, you chicks are still trying to figure out the thief?" Is Hong Yi blind, or is the safflower double stick brain of the Little Knife Club caught by the door? Want to contact someone like you?

To tell you the truth, the evil deeds of your kid who smuggled opium and sold piglets have been conclusively proven, and he will be punished with military justice in the near future? ”

"Huh? Smuggling opium? Selling piglets? ”

Xing Jiurou jumped up excitedly, "This is also a crime?" Can this special mother be counted as a crime? Master, you can't wronged a good person! If I am considered a felony, then there is one person who does business on the beach, and none of them are clean! ”

The jailer sneered: "I don't care about others, but whoever lets you kid crash into the hands of Lord Zhou can only make an example of ......"

"Brother Xing, Zhou, I'm late—"

At this moment, before I saw him, I heard his voice first, and a fiery figure stumbled in.

"Zhou ...... Lord Zhou? ”

"Stay put!"

Zhou Fu pushed the jailer away and threw himself towards the cell.

After pushing the cell door a few times, Zhou Fu shouted: "Why are you still stunned, give me Brother Xing, no, Brother Xing unlocks it!" ”

"This ...... Isn't this a felony personally decided by Li Dashuai......"

"This is a big wrong, I'm here to pick up Brother Xing to the Marshal's Mansion, don't be verbose, open the door quickly, and then prepare a clean dress for my eldest brother!"

……

On the carriage, Zhou Fu was carefully applying medicinal wine to Xing Jiurou.

This is Huaijun's secret recipe, except for the poor appearance of yellow, the effect is very good, which makes Lao Xing's handsome face a little more handsome.

Xing Jiurou let this young offspring rub medicine on himself, and he didn't dare to breathe, he already knew that this person was a popular person around the governor of Jiangsu.

What puzzled him was why this little white face was so respectful to him now.

At this time, Zhou Fu put away the medicine and took a deep look at Xing Jiurou: "Brother Xing, there were many offences in the matter of Baifeng Shuyu a few days ago, please bear with me, the old lady and the foolish brother of Biluo have ordered someone to redeem herself, and it will be sent to your house in a few days!" ”

Although he couldn't figure out the situation, Xing Jiurou instinctively felt that this surnamed Zhou seemed to have a request for himself, so he also took it:

"Oh, you said Bilo...... Week...... Brother Zhou Xian, I have to say a few words to you about this, why do you like when you are in your early twenties? The charm of this old lady, how can a small body like you bear it? ”

"What my brother taught me is that my foolish brother will not dare to snatch food in the future......"

"That's it, that's it, we don't know each other, but can you tell me what the governor is talking about when he is looking for my Lao Xing?"

"Brother Xing, oh no, Lord Xing, you are really a real person who doesn't show your face, and you don't show your face!"

Zhou Fu said with sincere emotion, "It has been more than 20 years since the foreigners messed up Guangdong, but there are very few people in the country who are proficient in foreign affairs, and it is even more unheard of for foreigners to sell face......

"The imperial court has issued several decrees and ordered the governor to visit Tongyi Dacai, but the governor has been looking for it but can't, worrying about state affairs and worrying about state affairs all day long!"

"I never thought that Dacai was far away in the sky, close in front of me, Lord Xing, the governor has already written to the imperial court to appoint you as the alternate governor of Shanghai to assist in the trade affairs of the five mouths! Don't excuse yourself! ”
