Respectfully

Li Jinyan had a very strange dream.In the dream, a deep voice whispered a word he could not understand in his ear.After waking up, everything in the dream could not be found, only that sentence seemed to still flow in my ears.He began to wonder if he was really dreaming.

He couldn't understand that sentence, but he could remember the pronunciation, the tone was a bit strange, it wasn't Mandarin, and it didn't look like English, but it was somewhat similar to the German that Young Marshal Lou and Qiao Leshan often used when talking.

Li Jinyan lay on his back on the bed, looked at the ceiling, imitated the tones in his dream, and tried to pronounce.

Young Marshal Lou, who was standing beside the bed buttoning up his military uniform, paused, turned his head, and looked at the unconscious Li Jinyan: "What are you talking about?"

"Ah?" Li Jinyan was stunned for a while, just woke up, his head was still a little dazed, he didn't realize that Marshal Lou was beside the bed at all, until the other party knelt on one knee on the edge of the bed, with both hands propped beside his head, Only then did he realize, "I didn't say anything."

Li Sanshao looked innocently at Young Marshal Lou who had an unclear expression.

Young Marshal Lou: "..."

A girl's voice came from outside the door, breaking the moment of silence.

"Young Marshal, Master Yan, are you awake? Madame told Master Yan to go over early after washing up."

In fact, as soon as Young Marshal Lou returned home yesterday, Mrs. Lou grabbed him and warned him: "Tomorrow your two younger sisters will go out, and your wife will be busy all day. Be honest today and don't torment him."

In the end, Mrs. Lou was still worried, and sent a girl to call someone early in the morning, fearing that the young commander-in-chief Lou would be on the spur of the moment, and Li Jinyan would not be able to get up, and the Lou family would make a joke today.

Hearing the girl's voice, Li Jinyan heaved a sigh of relief, the way Young Marshal Lou looked at him was really scary.It didn't look like he was angry, but rather annoyed, as if he wanted to tear him into pieces, chew and swallow.

Breakfast has been set, except for Sixth Miss and Seventh Miss, everyone in Lou's family is there.

Before dawn, Miss Six and Miss Seven were called up by the girl and began to prepare for the wedding.The two little girls didn't sleep well all night. After all, today is different from the past. After today, when they leave Lou's house, their lives will be completely different.

Fifth Aunt sat at the table and looked towards the door frequently. When she saw Marshal Lou and Li Jinyan appear, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Suddenly realizing that his actions were too obvious, he turned around and saw Mrs. Lou looking at her, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"Father, mother."

Marshal Lou's greetings were rigid, while Li Jinyan smiled, "Master, ma'am."

"Well, sit down and eat."

Marshal Lou picked up an egg from the plate and broke it into pieces, instead of putting it into his own mouth, he put it into Mrs. Lou's bowl instead, "Eat more."

Mrs. Lou nodded, and the concubines at the table felt sore. Even the second concubine couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her hand.But after all these years in Lou's back house, the sourness in the hearts of the three of them didn't show on their faces.

Lou's breakfast is very simple, rice porridge side dishes, boiled eggs and thinly baked scallion pancakes, Li Jinyan didn't eat dinner yesterday, smelling the aroma of rice porridge and pancakes, his stomach could not help but growl, and he drank After eating two bowls of porridge, he put down his chopsticks after eating a piece of pancake and an egg. Then he looked at Young Marshal Lou who was sitting next to him. He had already eaten three bowls of porridge, three pieces of cake, and two eggs. He was picking up the fourth bowl of porridge. .Marshal Lou didn't give up too much, the father and son seemed to be competing who could eat more.

Marshal Lou and Marshal Lou didn't put their chopsticks, and the others could only accompany them. Li Jinyan simply picked up an egg from the plate, peeled off the shell, and handed it to Marshal Lou. After biting off more than half of it in one bite, the two of them didn't feel anything, but looked at the other people at the table with embarrassment.

Marshal Lou, who was drinking porridge, snorted and turned to look at Mrs. Lou. Madam Lou didn't look at him, but just covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Marshal Lou thought she was uncomfortable, but when he looked carefully, he was smiling.

After breakfast, Mrs. Lou took Li Jinyan away directly. Although it's not too public because of the war outside, the Lou family should pay attention to marrying a daughter.

The fifth aunt wanted to go forward to listen, but the fourth aunt held her back, "What day is it today, don't be confused. If you do something wrong with good intentions, it will make the sixth girl look bad."

Hearing what the fourth aunt said, the fifth aunt had no choice but to give up.

Here, Mrs. Lou was sitting on the sofa, carefully instructing Li Jinyan one by one, "Leave the rest of the work to the people below, and the gift list will also be taken care of by Butler Liu. Those who are not convenient for you to come out to receive, you can do it yourself." With Dashuai and Xiao'er, you just need to do a few things I told you to do."

Li Jinyan nodded.

"Don't worry, don't be nervous." Mrs. Lou patted Li Jinyan's cheek, "You are a smart and capable child, I knew it at the first glance."

Li Jinyan didn't feel uncomfortable at all when Mrs. Lou made such an intimate gesture.Maybe Mrs. Lou gave him the feeling that she was too similar to the second wife, they were both his "mothers".

After a while, the housekeeper's voice came from outside the door, and someone congratulating him had already arrived, please ask Master Yan to go out.

"Go." Mrs. Lou patted Li Jinyan's hand again, "Remember that you are from the Lou family, and the entire Lou family will belong to you and Xiao'er in the future. If someone dares to make fun of themselves, don't bear it, and don't be soft-hearted "

Li Jinyan responded and went out.

After the door was closed, Mrs. Lou leaned on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. A girl with delicate features stood behind her and rubbed her shoulders.

"How did the investigation go?"

"If you go back to Madam, my mother asked me to tell Madam that the girl is indeed the missing one from the Wang family."

"It's really her?" Mrs. Lou closed her eyes half-closed and relaxed her body, "Xiao'er will lead someone to arrest her, no other orders?"

"It's true that she was locked up, and it's still a place for serious criminals. The young commander said in front of so many people that she was a spy from the south, and she would be dealt with sooner or later."

"This matter cannot be delayed." Mrs. Lou opened her eyes quickly, "I had the courage to run away, but now I come back with a shy face, and even shouted such words in the street. If someone with a heart takes advantage of it, who knows what will happen?"

"Ma'am, what do you mean?"

"Go and tell your mother to let her..."

Mrs. Lou motioned the girl to lower her head, and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Remember?"

"I remember, ma'am."

"kindness."

The Miss Wang family that the girl was talking about is currently being locked up in a prison in the city that detains serious criminals and death row inmates.Although she "occupied" the entire cell by herself, through the iron railings, she could still clearly see the situation in the opposite cell. Those men in ragged clothes and hideous faces were speaking obscene words to her, doing Dirty moves, and...

Ms. Wang curled up and leaned against the wall tightly. Occasionally, a cockroach or mouse crawled past her feet, which would cause her to scream, and the prisoners in other cells would burst into laughter.

Tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, she couldn't figure it out, how could she be in this situation?

She obviously wanted to take back what belonged to her, so how could it be like this?

She regretted it, she really regretted it, if she knew that Lou Xiao was such a person, she would never run away from marriage!It will not fall into today's field!

She should have been the young wife of the Lou family, and she should have stood side by side with the man who was called a "national hero" by the newspapers!

With the help of the girl and the nanny, she escaped from home through all kinds of hardships, but met a bandit on the road. When the nanny was killed and she fell into despair, a kind-hearted man rescued her...

The noise in the cell was getting louder and louder. Seeing that the commotion was really outrageous, the jailer stood at the door of the cell and knocked on the iron door vigorously, "Shut up! Shut up! If you don't shut up, I'll reward you with a few whips!"

"Bah!" A bear-like man with a beard and a thick face cursed loudly, "Fuck you! You're so powerful with me, and you don't even take pictures of yourself in the urine. What are you capable of? !"

"You!" The jailer was so angry that his face was livid, but the big man worked even harder, and tore off his tattered prison clothes, "Come on, you bastard! He's wearing a dog's skin, really What kind of character are you?!"

"You, today I must let you know how powerful I am!"

The jailer was so angry that he lost his mind. A look of success flashed across the big man's face, and he shouted more vigorously: "Come, if you don't come, you will be a grandson!"

At this moment, the jailer's shoulder was clasped by a big hand, and he was about to curse when he turned around, but when he saw the face of the person behind him, he immediately fell silent.

"Xiao, Mr. Xiao..."

Xiao Youde nodded, with a very gentle expression on his face, "What's the matter, why is it so lively?"

The jailer shuddered, this Mr. Xiao is not easy to mess with, and any undead that falls into his hands will peel off the skin.Thinking of this, a look of viciousness flashed in the jailer's eyes, and he explained what the big man did just now.

"Oh?" Xiao Youde listened amusedly, "Zhenguanbei? I remembered, it's the one whose beard was lifted by the young commander two years ago?"

"That's not it." The jailer said, "I don't know what's going on. The other gangsters beheaded some of them, and some of them were shot. There's nothing to say about this guy, who has been locked here all this time."

Xiao Youde nodded and signaled the jailer to open the iron gate, "You all stay here, I'll go in and have a look."

"Yes."

The burly men who followed Xiao Youde were all dressed in black bunts, with bulging waists, and they looked like they had guys in their pockets, and they were full of toughness.The jailer has dealt with these vicious prisoners in the prison all year round, so he can naturally see that they are not good people, so he can't help but take two steps back, not daring to say another word.

Xiao Youde walked from cell to cell, and when passing by the cell where Miss Wang was imprisoned, his footsteps paused, "Wang Dianru?"

When she heard someone calling her name, Ms. Wang immediately raised her head and saw Xiao Youde standing at the door of the cell, as if seeing a life-saving straw, she rushed over, knelt on the ground and grabbed the iron railing in front of the cell, " You came to pick me up, didn't you?!"

Xiao Youde shook his head, seemed to be laughing at her innocence, ignored her, turned and walked towards the opposite cell.Standing still, looking at the hostile man in the cell, he opened his mouth and said, "Zhenguanbei, or should I call you Meng Erhu, do you want to get out from here?" "

"Go out?" Meng Erhu sneered, "Where are you going? The execution ground?"

"Siberia." Xiao Youde's expression became serious, "You have been locked up here since you were caught, but why did you not kill you? It is nothing more than that although you are a gangster, you still have a chivalrous heart and only rob evil gentry." A corrupt official has never harmed the people, and he has helped the widows and the poor a lot. The young commander admires your chivalry and plans to give you a chance."

"Siberia?" Meng Erhu plucked his ears, "what place the birds don't shit."

Xiao Youde smiled, "I'm afraid you don't know what's going on outside when you're locked up in prison. Just a few months ago, the young commander led troops to repair Lao Maozi severely in Manchuria, and even took it from Lao Maozi's hands." Grabbed the site and asked for 5000 million oceans!"

"What?!" Meng Erhu's eyes widened, "Don't lie to me!"

"Why do I need to lie to you? Didn't you personally experience the young commander's ability?"

Meng Erhu stopped talking, and Xiao Youde continued: "Now, the young commander is going to ask for some interest from the Russians. Meng Erhu, as far as I know, your family was killed by the old Maozi, and there is no way out. You just turned into a bandit, and now you have a chance to take revenge, how about it, do you want to do it?"

Listening to Xiao Youde's words, Meng Erhu slammed his big fists on the ground fiercely, thinking of his family members who died tragically in Hailanpao, his chest was filled with raging anger.

revenge?Kill the old man?

"I'll do it!" Meng Erhu raised his head violently, "As long as I can get revenge, I will do anything!"

"Okay, it's a man!"

Xiao Youde shouted loudly and called the jailer to open the cell door, but the jailer was still a little reluctant, and only said that Meng Erhu was cunning and cunning, and he was extremely powerful. If... Meng Erhu stared and said loudly: " I, Meng Erhu, swear to the sky, if there are false words, the sky will strike me with lightning! After death, I will go to the [-]th floor of hell! Even if I am reincarnated, I will be a beast!"

"Open it." Xiao Youde said: "Such a man will not lie."

Only then did the jailer open the cell door.

Together with Meng Erhu, two other serious criminals were taken away by Xiao Youde from the prison. They both carried no less than one life on their shoulders. They committed serious crimes, but their circumstances were justifiable. The evil gentry and tyrants in the city even had dozens of villagers sending blood letters to intercede for him.

Now, they will all be sent to Siberia, where they will have a new identity and start a new "life".

The door of the cell was closed, the light disappeared, and the darkness shrouded again. Ms. Wang lay limp on the ground, her voice hoarse.She didn't think about anything, she just wanted someone to come and take her out of here...

At this moment, the door of the cell opened again, and the jailer said loudly, "Dinner is ready!"

The prisoners all flocked to the door of the cell. The food in the cell was no different from pig food, even if it was pig food, it could help the people here to continue to live.

Ms. Wang could not help but gag when she smelled the smell of water.When they got to her cell, the jailer took out a bowl of rice from the trolley, with a few pieces of braised pork and some vegetables on top.

Pushing the rice bowl into the cell, the jailer lowered his voice: "Someone is looking after you outside, eat it."

If it was Ms. Wang in the past, she would not have even glanced at such crude food, but since she was locked in the cell, she hadn't eaten a single grain of rice, and smelled the aroma of rice, her mouth began to salivate unconsciously. , finally pounced over to pick up the job bowl, gobbled it up.

The jailer touched the oceans in his arms, and those who entered here would never want to go out again unless "God" gave them a favor like Meng Erhu.Anyway, sooner or later is the same death, early death and late death, not all the same.

In front of the gate of Lou's house, crackling firecrackers sounded, and Li Jinyan greeted the congratulatory guests with a smile.Standing beside Li Jinyan, Young Marshal Lou saw Xiao Youde in the crowd, and nodded when the other party signaled that the matter was done.

Two bright red sedan chairs were carried to the front of Lou's house. The two grooms, one in military uniform and the other in elegant long gown, were praised by the congratulatory guests, saying that the two marriages were a match made in heaven.

Li Jinyan laughed so hard that his face became stiff, suddenly remembered something, and asked Lou Xiao in a low voice: "Young commander, you are here, who will carry the sixth sister or the seventh sister out?"

Marshal Lou signaled Li Jinyan to turn around, only to see Sixth Miss and Seventh Miss in phoenix coronets and robes respectively lying on the backs of two thick Xi Po, with a girl supporting them, and they were carried out from the inner hall.

"That's okay too?"

"Why not?"

Li Jinyan only thought that his brother would recite it when he got married, but he didn't know, not to mention Lou Liu and Lou Qi, even the five young ladies who got married before, Young Marshal Lou didn't recite any of them.

She was originally a concubine, and coupled with the status of Young Marshal Lou, who would dare to let him recite it?Because of this, Lou Xiao hugged Li Jinyan directly from Li Jincheng's back without any scruples.His background, family background, and education have destined him to be domineering, but he is so domineering for granted that people can't explain it.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers and congratulations, the two young ladies of the Lou family were sent to the sedan chair.

In the cell, Ms. Wang ate a bowl of rice cleanly, put down the rice bowl, just burped, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach...

On that day, the Lou family, the Qian family, and the Du family all held wedding banquets, and there was a lot of excitement in Guanbei City. Although there was a war going on outside, the common people believed that as long as the commander-in-chief Lou was in charge, the six northern provinces would be safe and sound!

Li Jinyan saw Qiao Leshan among the people who ate the wedding wine. Ever since he helped the Gunpowder Bureau solve the problem of the stability of nitroglycerin, and got out picric acid and TNT, he was regarded as a Buddha by Du Weiyan.Because of the nitroglycerin matter, Li Jinyan saw Qiao Leshan always take a detour for a while, and then thought about it, since he didn't expose him then, he won't do it now, it's purely his own worry.

After figuring it out, out of gratitude for Qiao Leshan's "justice", Li Sanshao gave him more and more generous salary and bonus. Qiao Leshan said a string of birdsong to Li Jinyan. It can be seen from his expression and body language that Joe is saying that he will never betray himself!

Li Sanshao was very satisfied, as expected, money is a good thing.

Seeing Qiao Leshan now, Li Jinyan suddenly remembered the words he heard in his dream, and he didn't know if he hadn't turned the corner for a while, so he directly pulled him aside and asked the words out of his mouth.

Qiao Leshan listened to Li Jinyan's crappy pronunciation, looked at him with a very strange expression, and repeated: "Ichliebedich"

"Yes, that's the sentence!" Li Jinyan clenched his right fist and tapped it on the palm of his left hand, "What do you mean by that?"

Qiao Leshan's expression became even weirder, and he asked in the same crappy Mandarin mixed with English: "Are you sure you want to know?"

"kindness."

"I love you."

"What?"

"I love you."

As soon as Qiao Leshan finished speaking, there was a sudden gust of punching wind from behind him, and he dodged quickly. When he turned his head, he saw Marshal Lou standing behind him, staring at him with an unfriendly expression.Qiao Leshan hurriedly raised his hands and waved them vigorously, then pointed at Li Jinyan, and a string of German quickly came out of his mouth.Young Marshal Lou's expression was stunned for a moment, and embarrassment flashed across his face for the first time.At this critical moment, Li Jinyan's mind finally turned the corner. Looking at Young Marshal Lou, he was dumbfounded when he thought of a certain possibility.

Is this world fantasy?

At the same time, Wang Chongren, the governor of Chahar who stayed in Chahar due to illness and did not come to Guanbei City to celebrate the wedding, looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him leisurely drinking tea, his brows were deeply furrowed.

"Brother Chang Geng, aren't you embarrassing my little brother like this?"

"Embarrassing?" Xing Changgeng put down his teacup, "You think that Miss Wang came back from the dead, first slandered and spread rumors to make trouble, and then yelled that sentence in the street, Lou Shengfeng can tolerate you?"

"It's two different things." Wang Chongren clenched his fists, "My daughter is already dead, she's just a fake."

"Is it a counterfeit? It's not something you can push away with just one word." Xing Changgeng smiled and said, "Although there are not many people who know Ms. Wang, it's not that there are none. Besides, what name did Lou Xiao arrest her for?" ? A spy from the south!"

"..."

"My daughter is a spy, you father..."

Xing Changgeng didn't finish what he said, but it was enough for Wang Chongren to understand.Seeing Wang Chongren's intentions moved, Xing Changgeng continued: "I don't want you to turn against him now, and then play it by ear after the President cleans up the South. If you succeed, you will be a hero. If you fail, the President will still be able to protect you." I got you. With Brother Wang's talent, being the governor of only one province is a waste of talent, but after Miss Wang's incident, he stayed under Lou Shengfeng's subordinates. Brother Wang didn't want to go further, just wanted to keep his current position, I'm afraid Is it difficult?"

Wang Chongren gritted his teeth, "Brother Chang Geng, please allow me to think about it."

"Okay." Xing Changgeng stood up, "I'm waiting for Governor Wang's reply."

Specially emphasizing the word governor, Xing Changgeng picked up his hat and left without looking back.

Wang Chongren sat motionless on the chair with a gloomy expression, and with a sudden wave of his hand, he swept the teacup on the table to the ground and smashed it to pieces.
