Li Xier said: "The first thing we did after the establishment of the Internal Affairs Bureau was to install several eyeliners in the rebel party. However, the rebel party was really cunning. In just a year, our rebels almost disappeared, but there were also many outstanding people. Not only did they successfully lurk, but they also gained the trust of the rebel party. The rebel party acted without morality. They threatened and tempted me many important officials of the Qing Dynasty. Some of the ministers were helpless, and some were willing to take profit and mount two boats. One of the rebel party's eyes went through a lot of hardships and got a list of the rebel party. All the people listed on the list were important officials of the court who were closely related to the rebel party." Speaking of this, Li Xier couldn't help but sigh, and the eyes were filled with worries and sadness.

"The eyeliner hid the list in a gem. The bead was specially made by our internal machine and was hollow. It hid the list in the hollow of the bead, and then restored the bead with special materials. Those who did not know that there was still a secret hidden in the bead. However, the news leaked. The Gentile Party made a move halfway and dropped the bead. After we found out, we mobilized all our strength to recover the original. The Gentile Party thieves had no way to walk and finally escaped on the ocean-going giant ship heading to America, the Queen of China. You should know everything after this."

Liu Tongdai replied: "When my subordinates chased the pier with their men, the Chinese Queen had already left the pier. It was a giant ship of foreigners. If we don't listen to our Qing Dynasty, we can only watch it disappear from our sight."

Li Xier said: "The thief must be a member of the rebel party, otherwise he would not have lost his life for a bead. The rebel party and Anliangtang have always had a ignorant relationship. Therefore, the miscellaneous families infer that the thief would inevitably surrender to Anliangtang after he fled to America."

Liu Tongdai replied: "Sir, wise!"

Li Xier continued: "We arrived in Jinshan only three days later than the Queen of China. However, the thief seemed to have never been to San Francisco and did not leave us any traces. This is very abnormal. Could it be that the thief jumped into the sea halfway?"

Liu Tongshe agreed: "We secretly investigated the Anliang Hall in San Francisco for many days, but we still found nothing. Therefore, the adults inferred that the thief should have turned to New York after arriving in San Francisco."

Li Xier shook her head slightly and said, "That's not an inference from the Mijia, but the Mijia received the tips from Anliangtang, San Francisco."

Liu Tongdai said in surprise: "Can our internal bureau also have eyeliners in Anliangtang?"

Li Xier sighed and said, "Inner Machinery Bureau was already in a mess in our Qing Dynasty, so how could he have the ability to get involved in the other side of the ocean? Miscellaneous speculations, perhaps a certain eyewitness cut off contact with the palace and moved to Kingsoft due to the situation. Although this person has not shown up, he is undoubtedly from the Inner Machinery Bureau. He used the earliest method of transmission of threads in our Inner Machinery Bureau. I am afraid that even Liu Tongdai would not know about this method of transmission of threads."

Liu Tongdai said: "It was the end of the 25th year of the Guangxu period when our internal organs were joined by the Internal Automobile Bureau. At that time, our Internal Automobile Bureau had been established for more than a year."

Li Xier sighed and said, "When you came, it was the most bleak time for our internal machine bureau. More than a hundred eyeliners had almost no survival. For safety reasons, our internal machine bureau changed all contact information. The person who reported my tips still contacted the family through old methods. I am afraid that we came to Kingsoft before the internal machine bureau's eyeliner was cleaned."

Liu Tongdai sighed: "This is his luck, and it is also our luck."

Li Xier said: "That's right? Without his tip, what can we do in this America? It's just a waste of the imperial court's silver."

Liu Tonglai asked: "Sir, please ask me more questions. The tip that the San Francisco Anliangtang Eyeliner conveyed to you is... Sir, don't blame me, I'm just..."

Li Xier waved her hand, interrupted Liu Tongdai, and said, "At this point, there is nothing to say." After pondering for a moment, Li Xier said the content of the news: "The Rebel Party and Anliangtang in New York are going to make a transaction, and the transaction location is in Harlem, New York."

Liu Tongdai suddenly realized: "So that's it! The portrait that the lord asked his subordinates to investigate should not be a thief, but a representative of the rebellious party who came to trade!"

Li Xier said: "You have real insights, it's good. The portrait was also obtained in San Francisco. But we have been tracing it for nearly two months, but the person has never been able to show up. Miscellaneous people speculate that it is likely that they encountered an accident on the way to New York."

Appreciated by Li Xier, Liu Tongdai was quite excited and said, "There was an accident in the counter-party transaction, but that thing was in Anliangtang, New York. We were weak and in foreign countries. We were inconvenient to act. Adults followed the flow and used the gap between Naduo and the old ghost to set up this situation, and only tested Anliangtang's reaction..." Liu Tongdai stopped talking and glanced at Li Xier's reaction.

Li Xier looked relieved, nodded slightly, and encouraged, "Stop talking."

Liu Tong looked fluttering, and his words were a little more passionate: "For the adults, it is meaningless whether the thief can be arrested and brought to justice. The important thing is to get the list back. The subordinates have been confused. After catching the old ghost, why should Na Duo be used to judge it? It turns out that this move by the adults was deliberately revealing flaws and attracting Gu Haoran from Anliangtang to take the bait."

Li Xier said: "You are only half right."

Liu Tongdai said in a daze: "I wish to listen to the teachings of the adults!"

Li Xier said: "The thief must have handed the list to An Liangtang, so it is meaningless to arrest him. You are right. But An Liangtang missed the agreement to deal with the anti-party party, and the anti-party party has no remedy. Miscellaneous companies speculate that the list should have been destroyed by An Liangtang. Well, if the list is really brought back, it will be a hot potato that cannot be eaten or thrown away, which is very difficult to deal with."

Liu Tongdang said, "Why did you say this?"

Li Xier sighed: "The rebel party gave up the transaction. I can only say that the list is no longer important, or it has its own backups. Just destroy this list. If we can still get the list back at this time, but the miscellaneous companies don't know the authenticity, wouldn't it be even more difficult?"

Liu Tongdai couldn't help but sigh: "The adults are meticulous, and my subordinates admire them and provoke their bodies."

Li Xier smiled faintly and said, "At this moment, maybe you are thinking, since that's the case, why bother to arrest the irrelevant old ghost, right?"

Liu Tongdai said ashamedly: "My wise man is very clear. My subordinates do have such questions, but my subordinates understand that this question must be a foolish subordinate and cannot understand my profound meaning."

Li Xier glanced at Liu Tongdai, shook her head gently, and said, "You are stupid, but the Miscellaneous Family does not have much deep meaning. This is just to add some confusion to Anliangtang Gu Haoran. Okay, the time is over, and the Miscellaneous Family has talked enough. It's time to leave."

Liu Tongdang said: "What do you mean by...removing?"

Li Xier said: "I'm afraid that if I don't withdraw, I will be taken over by others!"

Liu Tongdai disagreed and said, "We act cautiously and are far away from Anliang's dignity. We won't be targeted so quickly, right?"

Li Xier pointed to the braid on the back of her head and said, "It's hard to say if it's here!"

-----

Zhao Daming led hundreds of foreign policemen to Li Xier's hiding place. When passing through the outer encirclement built by the brothers in Harlem, Zhao Daming and his brothers there looked at each other, and the other party signaled that everything was normal.

Going further forward, I saw a brother from the entrance of the main hall. The brother made an OK gesture to Zhao Daming.

"Old man, those bandits are right in the three houses in front. Their boss lives in the middle, two on both sides, and all the horsemen live. What's wrong? For the great American Republic, start construction!"

Hanks-zheng focused his head, then made detailed arrangements to his subordinates, divided two teams to get around the back of the three houses, and two other teams of police officers and front-line support cover. The other three teams of police officers attacked and advanced towards the three houses.

The foreign police also understood the principle of capturing the king first to capture the thief. The police who attacked the houses on both sides did not act in a hurry, but occupied both sides of the door and waited for the favorable position under the window ridge, waiting for the team of police in the middle to take the lead.

The leader first made a gesture behind him that he could start, and then issued a raid order to the team members. One of the police kicked the door open, and after confirming that there was no counterattack in the house, several policemen rushed in.

There was no one in the house.

A team of policemen in the middle rushed into the house, but there was still no movement on both sides. The police in charge of the attack had to break in. Just like in the middle, there was no one there.

"Zhao, my dear friend, this joke is not funny at all. We smashed someone's door and wanted to pay for it. Do you understand?" Hanks followed Zhao Daming and kept complaining.

Zhao Daming was also confused.

Harlem's brothers could not lie to him, and the five brothers brought from the hall could not lie to him. These brothers were staring at each other so tightly, how could they let these people slip away from under their eyes?

After checking the three houses one by one, Zhao Daming found no suspicious points.

"Isn't it a god? Then who would call Harlem's brothers here." Zhao Daming's face was stretched very long, and there was a little impatient feeling in his tone.

Anliangtang has not many brothers in Harlem, and the total number is only about ten. When these buddies heard that the house was empty, they looked at each other for some reason. When they came to Zhao Daming, the leader spoke embarrassedly: "Brother Daming, our brothers and others watched them enter this house with their own eyes. More than 20 people, although they were all wearing costumes, but a ox tail on their heads was shaking, and it would be impossible to miss it!"

"Where is that person? I ask you, where have the more than 20 living people gone?" Although it was winter, Zhao Daming only felt extremely hot and couldn't help but untied his clothes and carried one side of his clothes to sniff the cool breeze.

Another brother from Harlem said, "Can these people still go into the ground if they can't fly into the sky?"

Wuxin's words woke Zhao Daming up instead. He slapped his forehead and ordered: "It's really possible that he's going to get into the ground. Brothers, move and lift the floor all the time for me, but I don't believe it!"

The brothers acted immediately, and in just a moment, they found a problem under the bed in a room on the first floor of the east-most house. A dark and two feet square hole.

"How about it, I'm playing this trick with me?" The little leader in Harlem was choked by Zhao Daming, and was angry. Seeing the hole, he was about to go in and chase after him without saying a word.

Zhao Daming stopped him: "What are you doing? These grandsons have only been here for a few months? How long can they dig? It must have dug the underground pipes and ran away along the underground pipes. How can you chase them? If you can't chase them, you'll eat someone's deflation."

Hanks also came over, glanced at the dark hole, and smiled: "Oh, my friend, Zhao, thank you for helping me find a reason to write a report. A minute ago, I was worried about the bonus this month!"

Zhao Daming laughed and said, "Old man, you haven't even caught a single hair from the gangster. That's the gambling debt..."

Hanks shook his head in a hurry, grabbed Zhao Daming's words, and shouted: "Oh, no, dear Zhao, you said that you Chinese are the most promised people, and spitting out will make you saliva."

Zhao Daming smiled and corrected: "That's what I said, spitting and smashing a hole. Okay, don't be nervous, just joke with you. Didn't you just say that my joke was not funny at all? Now I've changed to a new joke, how do you feel?"

Hanks shrugged and said, "It's even less funny!"

Zhao Daxin came over and asked, "Da Ming, are you really not chasing me?"

Zhao Daming sighed and replied: "The underground pipelines in New York City are very complicated. If the drawings are not prepared in advance and the route is made, most people will probably not even be able to tell the direction clearly when they go down. How can they chase after it?"

Zhao Daxin said anxiously: "What should I do with my master?"

Zhao Daming shrugged and slapped his lips and spread his hands.

Zhao Daxin was anxious but powerless, so he had to hold his head in his hands, squat on the ground, and sighed heavily.

Zhao Daming came over and patted Zhao Daxin on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, you must believe Lao Gu at critical moments. I have been with him for so many years, but I have never seen anything that can be rare to defeat him. Don't you want to save your master as soon as possible? Then don't squat down, hurry up and follow me to the hall!"

Only then did Zhao Daxin rekindle hope, he hurriedly stood up, and followed Zhao Daming on his bicycle and went back to the entrance of Manhattan.

"Take off his clothes and slapped him hard for me!" Na Duo moved the folding chair to a corner of the room, whipped a cigar, crossed his legs, and directed Li Xier's subordinates to torture the old ghost. But it seemed that it was not enough, Na Duo rolled up his sleeves, took the whip, cursed, and whipped, which was so pleasant and happy!

The old ghost was also hard enough. Without a scream, the whip fell on his body, but a muffled groan. The sound was much weaker than the sound of the whip whip.

After more than a dozen whips, Na Duo was already panting. When he looked at the old ghost again, he fell into a coma.

"Go and carry a bucket of cold water to wake him up." Na Duo threw away the whip in his hand, sat on the folding chair, gasping for breath. Not only was he tired, but he was more angry.

"Fifth Master, you can't fight like this. If you continue to fight, you will die." One of the subordinates hesitated and persuaded Naduo.

Naduo raised his eyebrows, and a contemptuous humming sounded from his nose, and asked slowly, "Do you listen to you or me?"

The subordinate replied respectfully: "Of course I'm listening to you, Wu Master, but Lord Li wants a living!"

Na Duo snorted again and said, "Then is he dead now?"

The subordinate smiled and said, "I mean I can't beat you anymore!"

Na Duo said impatiently: "Fifth Master, I want you to carry a bucket of cold water to wake him up. Which ear did you hear the fifth Master say you should continue to suck him? Lord Li explained it before leaving. Your lives are in my hands. Didn't you hear Lord Li's instructions or did you not have a memory?"

Naduo's quick voice could not cover up his inner weakness. Although Li Xier handed over the power of life and death of these subordinates to him, beating the dog depends on the owner, so he naturally did not dare to do too much. Besides, any of the subordinates left by Li Xier could take Naduo's life at will.

The seven or eight subordinates knew that although the adults said that they had given their lives to Naduo, if Naduo really made an inappropriate move, the adults would definitely not forgive him. Therefore, these subordinates had no fear of Naduo, and the respect they showed was nothing more than respect for the adults' orders.

The subordinate was unwilling to have a verbal debate with Naduo anymore, so he obeyed Naduo's wishes and brought a bucket of cold water. The other subordinate raised the bucket of cold water and poured his head on the old ghost.

The old ghost was shocked and woke up slowly.

"It's not good to get whipped?" Na Duo held a cigar in his mouth and wandered to the old ghost. He waved his hand and asked Li Xier's men to exit the room. After the iron gate was closed again, Na Duo took out his handkerchief and wiped the water droplets on the old ghost's forehead and cheeks. "We are old friends too. Fifth Master, I really can't bear to see you look like a miserable look. Old ghost, let's just take it. Isn't it just a treasure? Isn't it worth your life if you don't bring it to death?"

The old ghost opened his eyelids and glanced at Na Duo, then his eyelids drooped again, and replied weakly: "Do you think I think, Wu Master, if I say you slept with your old Buddha, would you admit it?"

Thanks to Na Duo's slow reaction. If it were someone else, he would have slapped him with a big mouth. How could he allow the old ghost to finish his words? Na Duo might have been distracted. It was not until the old ghost laughed that he realized that he naturally slapped the old ghost twice. "You are still stubborn when you die! Now the fifth master will tell you, what is life worse than death, and what is life that cannot be lived and cannot be killed. Come!"

The iron gate opened and two Li Xier's subordinates came in.

Na Duoling said, "Give me an axe to the fifth master?"

One of his subordinates suspected: "What does the fifth master want to do with an axe?"
