Chapter 219 The Rogue Has Culture

With a cigar in Yu Zhu's mouth, he raised his legs, and Alice sat on his lap with slightly red and swollen eyes.

After blowing out a smoke ring, Yu Zhu asked Alice with a smile: "What is the origin of that William?"

Alice lowered her head and ignored Yu Zhu.

Yuzhu smiled slightly, and he could understand Alice's little emotions.

Because, before being bullied by him, she was still a chick.

No way, he hurt her too rudely.

"If you are obedient and obedient, in the future, you can act as my representative and contact various foreign businessmen."

Yuzhu's subordinates don't have any Westernization talents for the time being, but he really needs a white glove to act as his mouthpiece.

Alice is just right!
He is her first man, and this reason is already sufficient.

However, Yuzhu really did not expect that in Daiying, who is extremely complicated and open in the relationship between men and women, Alice, as a lady, would not break her body.

Hey, does this count as picking up a treasure?
Alice still didn't want to pay attention to Yuzhu, and Yuzhu was not angry.

Coincidentally, William, who was soaked in the water dungeon, asked to see Yu Zhu for the eighth time, Yu Zhu dragged Alice and went to the water dungeon together.

To be honest, in the dark prisons of the Qing Dynasty, the most terrifying thing was not spanking or whipping, but being soaked in water.

For normal people, after soaking in the swimming pool for two hours, the skin of their hands and feet has turned white, or even peeled.

If you soak in the water prison for a few days, hey, the muscles on your legs will rot.

After arriving at the dungeon, William's begging was heard from a long distance away.

"Please, let me out, I can't stand anymore."

"Excuse me, the skin on my legs has been soaked."

"I'm rich. It's really good to have money. As long as I'm let out, I'm willing to pay no matter how much money I have."

Yu Zhu could hear that William was crying.

The water prison of the supervisory yamen is not in the open air, but underground in the dark.

The steps to the dungeon were very steep, Yu Zhu took the initiative to reach out to Alice, but Alice turned her head, pretending not to see it.

Hey, this foreign girl has been hurt, she is holding her breath, and she is still showing her temper.

Yu Zhu turned his face hard on purpose, snorted coldly, grabbed Alice's little hand, supported her, and went down dozens of steps to the underground safely.

On the flat ground, Yuzhu let Alice break free from his hand.

Niu Tai, who was walking in front, picked up the torch hanging on the wall and illuminated the road ahead.

The two sides of the dungeon are all made of gray bricks, in an oval shape up to the top.

On both sides of the aisle, there is a thick and long iron chain.

Every three feet or so, there is a big iron ring attached to the short iron chain on the iron chain. One can tell at a glance that this is the place to lock people.

Continue to go forward, and there will be an iron fence door on the wall every about ten feet.

"My lord, the villain has been wronged..."

"Water, I want to drink water, I'm dying of thirst."

"Let me out, I didn't violate the king's law..."

In the dungeon, the voices of grievances and grievances intertwined to form a hellish elegy.

Under the light of the torch, it was faintly visible that the space inside the iron gate was so low that it was impossible to stand on it.

Yu Zhu noticed that Alice's complexion suddenly became ugly.

Uh-huh, this foreign girl is actually not only smart, but also very cunning. She has obviously figured out why the cell behind the iron gate makes it impossible for people to stand.

At the end of the dungeon, William's familiar voice continued.

"I beg you, I can't take the soak anymore, my legs will rot!" William is a proficient in the Qing Dynasty, and he shouted in slightly jerky Chinese.

Yuzhu stood in front of the iron fence door of the water prison, but he couldn't see the situation in the prison clearly.Niu Tai cleverly put the torch in his hand through the crack of the iron gate and put it in.

This time, Alice saw clearly.

I saw that William was wearing a heavy shackle around his neck, and his hands were locked in the shackle, unable to move at all.

After taking a closer look, you will find that William's calves are all soaked in black water emitting a foul smell.

William, whose heart had already collapsed, saw Yuzhu coming, he hurried to the iron fence, dripping with stinky water, and cried, "Please, let me out. No matter what the conditions are, I promise you."

Yuzhu smiled coldly, lifted his chin, and said in English: "Dear gentleman, you have been in the Heavenly Dynasty for so long, and your knees are still so hard? Obviously you are not convinced, so I will go first."

William had been soaking in the stinky water for more than two hours. He had had enough, his knees couldn't help but kneel down in the stinky black water, crying for mercy.

"My lord, please forgive me, I won't dare again."

Yu Zhu didn't look at William, but kept paying attention to Alice's expression.

I saw that Alice's pretty face was bloodless, her lips trembled slightly, and she faintly heard the slight movement of grinding her teeth.

Well, she was scared, very scared, that's right!
To put it bluntly, Yuzhu led Alice down to the dungeon on purpose, just to let her see clearly, what will happen to the disobedient?

Following Yuzhu's order, William was led out of the dungeon.

As soon as William's feet touched the dry ground, his legs gave way, and he sat down on the blue-gray floor tiles, panting heavily.

"Take him to change clothes, have a full meal, and take a rest. After he thinks clearly, bring him to see me." Yu Zhu turned to Niu Tai.

Niu Tai said loudly, "Hey."

When going out, Alice climbed up the steep steps in front, and Yu Zhu stretched out his palm behind her, supporting her hips so that she would not fall.

Niu Tai, on the other hand, stood behind Yu Zhu.

After leaving the dungeon, Yu Zhu stretched out his hand to hold Alice's little hand.This time, she didn't dare to shake it off forcefully, and obediently let Yuzhu hold her.

After returning to the inner study, Yuzhu lit a cigar again, still raised Erlang's legs, and let Alice sit on his lap as before.

"Well, be my secretary and mistress. If you behave well, you are likely to return to London with tens of thousands of pounds, or even hundreds of thousands of pounds." Yuzhu raised his hand and forcibly pulled Ai Li away. Si's face suddenly darkened, "If you are not good, you have already seen William's end, right?"

Back then, Tang Taizong Li Shimin received a BMW named "Lion Cong" as a tribute from a foreign country.

This horse not only travels thousands of miles a day, but also has a violent temper, which makes it difficult for people to control. Many people have nothing to do with this fierce horse.

Wu Zetian once said: A courtier and concubine need three things to control them, one iron whip, two iron hammers, and three daggers.

Women are naturally attracted to strength, if you want to subdue her, you must show your strength.

In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and schemes are paper tigers.

Under Yuzhu's hard and soft tactics, she is not worried that Alice will not submit.

After the wonderful story on the desk was staged again, Yuzhu clearly noticed that Alice not only obeyed a lot, but also took the initiative a little.

After the gallop, Yu Zhu hugged Alice and asked many things in detail.

Including Alice's background, family, connections, etc.

The highlight, of course, is the situation with William.

This time, Alice obviously gave in, answering every question, not daring to hide anything.

Even a fool can see that men are not soft-hearted.

Alice couldn't help retching whenever she thought of the foul-smelling black water in the water prison.

Alice's father, before his death, was a marquis who owned a large manor.

William's family background is even more prominent.His father was a duke and his uncle was an admiral in the Royal Navy.

Well, the family of the Admirals of the Royal Navy, that's just wonderful!

Granular black gunpowder used in naval guns, flintlock guns, steelmaking technology, and shipbuilding technology are all good treasures that Yuzhu needs most.

After Alice became obedient, Yuzhu didn't treat her badly, and directly found William's special cook from among the captured servants.

Medium-rare fried steak, French-style fried foie gras, diced chicken salad, grilled prawn soufflé, etc., delicious dishes were served on the table one after another.

The fly in the ointment is that in the supervisory office, there is no long dining table, but a big round table.

Alice originally thought that Yuzhu must not know how to use a knife and fork.

Who would have thought that Yuzhu's movements of cutting steak with a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right were not only skillful but also extremely smooth.

Following Yuzhu's order, the servants supervised the yamen's cellar, brought ice cubes, cut them into small pieces, and put them on the dining table.

Thanks to the blessing of the Little Ice Age, in Guangzhou in winter, the banks of the Pearl River would freeze at the coldest time.Otherwise, there would be no ice cubes to use.

Under Alice's silent watch, Yuzhu first put a large ice cube in the wine glass, and then poured whiskey and water in a ratio of 1:2.5. This is the famous "water cutting method".

The whiskey diluted with ice cubes and water is not as strong and stimulating as before, but presents an elegant flavor, which is very suitable for pairing with meals.

"Cheers, my sweetheart!" Yuzhu smiled and picked up the tall wine glass, and lightly touched the wine glass in Alice's hand.

In Alice's heart, it can be said that there are mixed feelings, and I don't know what it is like!

A man with a devil hidden in his heart, his whole demeanor is very much like a top gentleman in British high society.

Needless to say, the whiskey made by Yuzhu with water cutting method gave Alice, who had never tasted this kind of taste, an eye-opening feeling.

Meals in the homes of scholar-officials pay attention to the silence of the food and the silence of the chopsticks.

Western food is different. Foreigners are used to chatting while eating, even talking.

Yu Zhu took a sip of whiskey and asked Alice with a smile: "My dear lady, there is a famous novel called Pride and Prejudice. I don't know. Have you read it?"

Alice naturally shook her head and didn't know that Pride and Prejudice was only published in the nineteenth century.

So, taking advantage of the opportunity of eating, Yuzhu told Alice the outline of the story.

The little squire Bennet has five daughters who are waiting to be married, and Mrs. Bennet worries all day long about finding a satisfactory husband for her daughters.

"The new neighbor, Bingley, is a rich bachelor. He immediately became the target of Mrs. Bennet. At a ball, Bingley fell in love with Jane, the eldest daughter of the Bennet family. Banner Mrs. Te is ecstatic about this..." Following Yuzhu's eloquent description, Alice quickly immersed herself in the ocean of world famous novels.

Hey, literary young women, better lie!
Alas, I'm afraid that hooligans are educated!
