Chapter 100 Newlyweds
"Oh, that's different. The so-called "people don't have wealth without external wealth, and horses don't have night grass, and no one will be fat. Anyone who sees real money and silver will be moved." Luo Min's carefree appearance is not without temptation. "If you don't say anything else, your grand style is already able to catch up with the emperor. We remember that when Emperor Kangxi of the previous dynasty married, the bride gift to Hesheli was 20,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver, which was a direct expense. There were also 1,000 brocade, forty horses, twenty pairs of saddles, and a few other gold and silverware. Finally, yours are not inferior. Is there a crime of usurpation?"
"Sir Fantai, this joke is not funny." Li Fushou's face turned cold.
These words contain evil intentions and the blade appears.
Luo Min is really a dog-like person, and she will change at any time; "If you don't have a joke, let's talk about it for the time being. I have to ask my subordinates to check it out. Once it is verified, your crime will be very serious!"
"Hehe..." Li Fushou sneered twice, pointed at the guards behind and said, "My subordinates recognize guns and not people. It is best for the Lord of the Fantasy to control his subordinates and not act rashly, otherwise it will be bad if he is injured by accident."
As soon as these words came out, the flower hall suddenly became silent.
Luo Min's face turned cold and she said lightly, "Mr. Yuanding, it's better not to be too rampant for young people. We should let our elders teach you the principles of being a human being, otherwise it would be a pity to be careful not to leave Gusu City and die tragically."
Gu Yanchuan next to him was waiting to step forward to smooth things over. Li Fushou stood up with one hand to stop him, and then said to Luo Min;
"You are kind to call you Master Fantai. It seems that you have already forgotten the power of Master Foreigner. Don't mention that your subordinates are greedy, even if you, Lord Luo Min, come in person, dare to stretch your right hand and chop your right hand, dare to stretch your left foot and chop your left foot, and if you dare to stretch your head, you will chop your head.
It's so ridiculous, how dare you threaten me?
Killing you is just like killing a dog. If you don’t believe it, you can try it. Will Zhangjing, the military machine of Peking City, come forward to make decisions for you, and will Prince Beile shout injustice for you?"
Having said this
Li Fushou took the revolver handed over by the guard and directly pressed the cold muzzle on Luo Min's head, which made the important officials in the flower hall feel uproar and their faces turn back with a tragic change.
"As long as my finger is gently pressed, your head will explode like a watermelon. Are you interested in guessing, do I dare to shoot?"
Luo Min was not as brave as he thought. When the cold gun was pressed against his head, his face was pale as paper, and his legs couldn't help but shake like a sieve.
After a minute of persistence, he knelt on the ground with a plop; "Mr. Yuanding, please forgive me for being ruthless, please don't shoot!"
"Hmph, it's not too long since the Western army entered Beiping City. It burned the royal garden. It seems that everyone has forgotten. What could the emperor do back then? You're still holding it over with your nose."
Li Fushou paused intentionally, letting the important officials of Jiangnan Province present reminisce it, arousing the strong "foreign fear" in his heart. Only then did he realize that the person standing in front of him was not a junior, but a hot new nobleman from England.
"Brother Yanchuan, please save my life. Luo Min will never dare to have evil thoughts..." Luo Min saw Gu Yanchuan who was already stunned beside him, and he was calling for help as if he saw a life-saving straw.
"Yuan Ding, don't be impulsive."
Today, Gu Yanchuan saw Li Fushou's cruelty, and cured Luo Min, who had always been a mighty man in Gusu City, and felt extremely happy.
I was worried that he would kill the other party by mistake, so it would be a big deal.
"Okay, since my father-in-law is pleading for you today, I will spare you a life." Li Fushou slowly lowered the gun in his hand, looked at Luo Min's cold sweaty face with a trace of fierce light, and suddenly pulled the trigger.
A dull gun sounded like a "bang"
Accompanied by Luo Min's screams like a pig, the senior officials of the court who had just relaxed were shocked again, and their faces suddenly changed.
Li Fushou shot Luo Min's thigh, and blood immediately poured out, which made Luo Min's two accompanying Goshiha look at each other and pull out the shiny sword from her waist at the same time.
"Smack it..."
After a series of dense gunfire, the two Goshhas seemed to twitch in the rain of bullets, and had dozens of blood holes all over their bodies, and fell to the ground and died like rags.
Silence, dead silence...
Only the air was filled with the strong smell of gun smoke, and the gun guards calmly pulled back their shells and loaded them again, filling the gun chamber with bullets again.
Judging from this, it was a stance of killing a lot if there was a disagreement.
Western quick guns finally aroused the "foreign fear" of a group of senior officials. As the highest-ranking official, Governor Zuo Liangshan could only stand up and speak and clean up the mess.
"Well... Mr. Yuanding, please do it slowly. Let me say something. Lord Luo Min is indeed ruthless in this matter. He is now..."
Zuo Liangshan looked at Luo Min covering her thighs with her hands, and her face turned pale. The floor of the flower hall had already dyed a lot of blood. Perhaps the killing just now shocked Luo Min, and she didn't dare to scream loudly, but she couldn't help but hum in a low voice, like a pig's cry.
This scene was really exciting to Zuo Liangshan’s eyes.
He felt a wave of powerlessness rising in his heart. The foreign master beat the second-rank official with a gun, and then he beat him.
The emperor is young and has ruled the affairs of the empress dowager, the Empress Dowager, is the most afraid of foreigners. Whenever there are foreign affairs, the Empress Dowager, but he gets a headache when he hears it. All the important officials in the court have to bear the anger, and this is not a bit false.
As a member of the Futai, Zuo Liangshan knew this well. As long as Luo Min was not dead, he would fool him and not be able to investigate.
"Cough cough..." Zuo Liangyu coughed twice, and smiled on his face and said, "This is indeed the fault of Lord Luo Min. After all, he will not die. Mr. Yuan Ding must not take it to heart. I will order Luo Min to give me a great gift later. I hope that I will forgive you if I am a little bit."
The words from the Lord of the Mansion really surprised everyone in the flower hall.
It turns out that Li Fushou injured the second-rank senior official, Lord Fantai. In turn, Lord Fantai also apologized for his apology. Thank you for your mercy.
Zuo Liangshan was not in the mood to explain to others that the upper class of the imperial court could not be known to these mediocre people. He looked at Gu Yanchuan with a begging look, and his purpose was self-evident.
If Mr. Yuan Ding could be persuaded to persuade him, he would probably be his father-in-law.
"Yuan Ding, today is a happy day. Don't get angry about it. You can't be angry about it!" Gu Yanchuan felt relieved, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of kindness.
"Sir Yuanding, please spare me. You don't have to kill me and get dirty. If you can save my life, the official must be grateful for your thanks..." Luo Min covered the wound with his hands, and could no longer hold on.
But when he saw the black muzzle still aimed at his chest, he could only force himself to move and dare not move, and he felt extremely regretful;
The other person is a cruel person. Why did you offend him if you commit a crime? Have you taken too much mouse medicine?
After the crowd persuaded him, Li Fushou's face relaxed slightly. He threw the revolver in his hand to the guard and said a word in a faint tone: "Get out."
Luo Min was like being granted a general amnesty after hearing this. Zuo Liangshan dared to wave and asked Goshha who followed him to carry Luo Min away and quickly go to the good doctor for treatment.
The bullets of Western fast guns are poisonous when left in the flesh. They must be dug out and cleaned the wound, otherwise it will be difficult for the gods to save them.
After a thrilling experience, on this cold February day, the officials in the flower hall felt white-haired sweat on their backs, which was chilly.
Everyone realized a serious reality; foreigners could not offend them.
Look at your identity and touch the top of your head, which can surpass the vassal state master, but in the hands of foreigners, they still look like a native chicken and a tile dog. They shoot when they say they want to shoot, and there is nothing to do after they finish shooting. This is too scary.
Today, the grand scene of the Gu family marrying a daughter shocked the entire Gusu family. The gold, silver and jade, silk and satin, and the whole box of silver with a whole box was too visually impactful, which triggered people's infinite imagination.
Australia became rich overnight after gold hunting, and this myth spread throughout southern Jiangsu again, causing a long-lasting wave of immigration. This is a story later.
February 10, 1879, the 10th day of the Chinese New Year.
It is advisable to start construction, open business, seek heirs, sacrifices, marriages, plantings, and open markets. Avoid raising ground, traveling, and taking office.
On a good day of the zodiac, everything will be fine.
This day made Li Fushou very busy. Before dawn, he bathed incense and participated in the Lijiabao New Year's Ancestor Ceremony. He showed his face in front of thousands of tribesmen. He invited his ancestor tablets to take them to the Honghe Valley for worship day and night.
Due to the strong wealth demonstration effect, at the ancestor worship ceremony, thousands of Li clan members were willing to follow Li Fushou to Australia to hunt for gold, and those who really responded were gathered.
Li Fushou arranged for his secretary Tian Shan to handle this matter. All the Li clans gave priority to boarding a boat and Huitong Bank loans. The cost was ten pounds per person, which was absolutely indispensable.
The rules were established by Li Fushou, and he could not destroy them by himself.
At most, some subsidies will be paid for in terms of food and some care will be given during the ship schedule. After arriving in the Red River Valley, those who are willing to hunt for gold will go to hunt for gold, those who are willing to graze will go to grazing, and those who are willing to enter the factory will go to the factory. The conditions are relatively broad.
That's all, Huitong Bank's loans still have to be paid back, and 10% of the annual interest rate will also be collected.
Afternoon
Li Fushou and his party hurried back from Lijiabao. After a brief rest, they took a shower and changed their clothes again, and wore traditional dresses to welcome the bride.
The Gu family is a scholarly family that has been passed down for a hundred years and has many specialties.
It was really exhausted after a whole set of red tape. Gusu City caused a sensation again on this day, because the dowry offered by the Gu family was also a big deal, and the dowry with red silk spread across the market for 128 yuan, and once again gained a lot of attention.
Of course, the Gu family is not as rich as the Li family. In addition to the beautiful silk, the dowry Shu Jinxiu quilt, the Su embroidered screen, and the whole set of red sandalwood furniture are all highlights. The ones who see off are not the guards with guns and live ammunition, but the long-sleeved scholars, with a number of as many as 200.
The comparison between the two points shows that the Gu family has a profound heritage. It is indeed worthy of being a prominent family in the Jiangnan Sinica. There are a large number of elite students who are willing to be the driving force, and the style is more elegant and outstanding.
But the people in Gusu City are more willing to be generous in their hearts as rich as gold and silver in the Li family. That guy... is full of golden light and shining brightly, and the luxurious style that spends money like earth cannot be hidden.
