Liu Mingzhi wanted to immediately pounce on the lump of soil in Mother Han's mouth, but he had to pretend to be calm for fear that Bean would notice something strange, and resisted staring at the two sweet potato rhizomes on the ground.
Liu Mingzhi stared at the thoughts of Bean and the others, feeling quite uneasy. According to his understanding, the origin of sweet potatoes is the Americas, and it only appeared in other countries because of navigators such as Columbus and Magellan.
Doesn't it mean that the Western world has already started maritime trade, and has left the Dalong Dynasty behind a lot early. Their ships can already cross the oceans, and their own side is still in a state of exploration, which is not good for the Dalong Dynasty. What good news.
The joy brought by the appearance of Sweet Potato made Liu Mingzhi feel a little unhappy because of the incident involving Bean and the others. He was even more determined to keep Bean and the others behind and tried every means to obtain the current situation in Western countries, so that torture could be used to extract confessions. No matter what.
"In our place, you have to pay for gold and silver items to eat. You are insulting the national law of Dalong and contemptuous of Dalong's dignity. Now I want to preserve the evidence. Now please pay for the meal."
Looking at Bien, who was still comprehending what he meant, Liu Mingzhi glanced worriedly at the expert behind Bien. He still suppressed his fear of the expert and moved to the side of the sweet potatoes, grabbed two sweet potatoes and quickly retreated. go back.
Bean seemed to understand the meaning of Liu Mingzhi's words: "Our gold and silver have been swept into the sea by the waves. We have no money. For the sake of the Lord, forgive us for our rudeness. The Lord will bless you." of."
Liu Mingzhi placed the sweet potatoes in a safe place and spread his hands: "I'm sorry Bean, we Dalong people believe in the Jade Emperor. Your Lord is of no use here. Pay debts to pay money, kill people to pay for their lives, it's only natural and right. When you arrive at Dalong, you must abide by Dalong's laws. If you don't want to pay, I'm sorry but I will have to drag you to see the official."
Bean, who seemed to be half-fluent in Chinese, changed his expression when he heard Liu Mingzhi's words. He drew out a long sword that was completely different from the Central Plains weapon and looked at Liu Mingzhi cautiously. At the same time, he reminded the people behind him: "Guys, they They want to turn us into their slaves. The glory of the Lord does not allow us to become such a despicable thing as slaves, so kill them out."
Bean's words made some people behind him become nervous, and they drew out the weapons from their waists and stood ready, staring at Young Master Liu standing on the stairs as if they were looking at a demon.
Liu Mingzhi was startled. He didn't know why these foreigners would draw their swords at each other if they disagreed. Judging from the ferocious expressions on their faces, they seemed to be desperate. He subconsciously looked at the expert behind the foreigners and saw him. He looked at the situation at the scene with a blank expression, as if he didn't understand why such a situation happened. He said okay, but why did he pull out the weapon?
After calculating the time, Liu Mingzhi calmed down and realized that the distance between Tianxiang Tower and the Song Mansion was not too far. Otherwise, Song Yu and the others would not have been able to go to Tianxiang Tower to drink and have fun in the middle of the night after getting drunk. According to the time, Song Qing should be arriving soon with the imperial guards.
Seeing the barbarians drawing their weapons again, although the thugs from Tianxiang Tower were a little scared, they still held the sticks in their hands and surrounded them.
The appearance of Sweet Potato did not allow Liu Mingzhi to have other ideas. In any case, these foreigners had to stay: "Bean, put down the weapons in your hands wisely. You still have a chance to fight for leniency. Otherwise, I will issue an order." , all of you have to die here, as for how to choose, you should know it yourself."
Afraid that if he pushed Bean and others too hard, Liu Mingzhi could not help but stare closely at the expressions of Bean and others, guessing their inner reactions.
I saw Bean holding the sword in his hand tightly, his eyes narrowed, and Liu Mingzhi secretly said something bad: "Everyone, stay two steps away from them, entangle them, and don't fight them."
Naturally, all the thugs in Tianxiang Tower knew about Young Master Liu's identity. Liu Bapi, who ransomed the courtesan for three hundred taels, was a man with extraordinary hands and eyes. Moreover, the way Mother Han respectfully invited him down from the second floor was also seen by all the thugs. In his eyes, he followed Young Master Liu's order without hesitation and formed a circle to surround Bean and other foreigners in the middle.
Major Liu pulled his sleeves up to his wrists: "Grandma, what are you doing? It's so shameless. I can't cure the people in the official department, so I can't cure you? Brothers, hold on, the guards will be here soon. When the time comes, None of them can run away. If they dare to jump over the wall in a hurry, they will be beaten to death with sticks. If I beat them to death, I will support you. This bunch of foreigners really don’t know where the Yamen of Dalong Dynasty is opening."
The thugs who were knocked down by the master with three punches and two kicks were still a little frightened when facing these barbarians who were a head taller than themselves. When they heard Young Master Liu say that the Imperial Guards would arrive soon, they all became energetic. There seems to be a qualitative change compared to the wilting appearance before.
There seemed to be a top-looking thug among them who was looking at Mr. Liu and hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.
"This brother, just say whatever you have to say, don't hold it in your heart."
The thug seemed to have made up his mind: "Master Liu, is it really okay if you beat him to death? Killing someone in the capital requires your life."
"Brother, don't worry. Not only will it be okay if you are beaten to death, but I will also have to ask for credit for you. If you can capture these foreign barbarians, these five hundred taels of silver notes will be yours." Liu Mingzhi said as he As he spoke, he took out a five hundred tael silver note from his arms and raised it up. Not to mention the five hundred taels of secrets among these foreigners, Liu Mingzhi would not hesitate to pay even fifty thousand and five hundred thousand taels.
As soon as the thugs started working, their eyes became hot. Five hundred taels was still a big sum even if they were divided equally. The leader looked at Mother Han beside the stairs pleadingly: "Mother Han, Master Liu said it's okay, let's change the guy. !”
Mother Han bit her silver teeth lightly and stared at Young Master Liu's back, hesitating: "Han Zhong, it's better to listen to Master Liu and surround them, and wait for the imperial guards to deal with it!"
"Hey, could it be that there are other guys in Tianxiang Tower who can't succeed?" Liu Mingzhi was determined to win over these foreigners. He looked at the thug at the bottom of the steps: "Your name is Han Zhong, right? I promise you, as long as you use Even if the weapons are banned in the army, I can keep you safe. Once these barbarians are captured, I will personally go to the emperor to request a decree and give you a heavy reward."
Mother Han looked anxious when she heard what Mr. Liu had said to encourage her Tianxiang Tower thugs, and she regretted in her heart that she had asked Liu Bapi, a bold master, to help deal with these barbarian troubles: "Master Liu, this is the capital. If someone is killed, Tianxiang Tower will be sealed off, Lord Liu, it’s not easy for me to save such a small fortune, please leave some way for Tianxiang Tower to survive."
Without seeing the matter of the boat mentioned by Di Gua and the foreigners, Liu Mingzhi might really listen to Mother Han and prepare to settle the matter, but it is impossible now, these foreigners must stay.
"Mother Han, don't worry. I will guarantee it with my life. If there is a human life lawsuit, I want to keep you safe in Tianxiang Tower. Even the Prime Minister and the Assistants want to punish you."
The reason why Liu Mingzhi dared to make such a guarantee was because of Li Zheng's desire for the Western world. Now that he had strong evidence, one or two barbarian lives were nothing more than drizzle to Li Zheng's desire to become an emperor through the ages.
Liu Mingzhi threw the banknote in his hand to Han Zhong: "Han Zhong, change the guys, leave one or two alive or keep them all.
