It took Xiao Letian half an hour to completely convince the suspicious and ill Third Master Qing. If it's true or not, Xiao Letian was very right. He reduced the number of bandits on the Taihang Mountains to less than 200, and also gave them a life experience as embarrassing as the Water Margin.
"Those are a group of green forest heroes who have been persecuted by the government. How could they have fallen into banditry if they didn't have food to eat? As for those archers and crossbows, you also know that in the south, long-haired weapons are flowing into the people. There are too many. As long as you are willing to save one or two hundred sets, it is a piece of cake..."
"What's more important is that there are only over a hundred of them. What else can they do besides making a living? Don't think too scary about those people. I have already decided to go back to Tianjin to open a foreign bank. Do some small business with foreigners. As you know, these foreigners are not easy to deal with. Brother, I don’t have any ruthless characters in my hands, so I have to let the foreigners eat all my bones..."
After Xiao Letian spent a long time, he finally came up with his trump card: "Mr. Qing, even if you don't listen to anything else, you still have to consider the face of the emperor and the empress dowagers of the two palaces, right?"
Fu Qing was stunned at that time, "What did you say? The Emperor's face! And the Queen Mother's face?"
"Isn't this nonsense? You must know that after the city of Nanjing was captured in July, the emperor and the queen mother were overjoyed and held a banquet to celebrate. Not only did they invite officials from the Manchu Dynasty, they even invited the foreign adults from Dongjiaominxiang. They were very happy. It’s the end of the year now, and it’s said that Zeng Guofan is going back to Beijing to take up his post to the emperor. On such a happy day, brother, do you really have to stuff a piece of rat shit into your mouth?”
A few words to wake up the dreamer. After all, Mr. Qing is a banner man and he understands the twists and turns in the court very clearly. It's almost the New Year now, and I want to kill the bandits desperately. Isn't this causing trouble to the emperor and the queen mother?
"Oh, I'm so confused. No wonder Lian Er refuses to send troops. So where is the root cause? People are thinking about the face of the court! If I make things worse, the emperor and the queen mother will be celebrating the festival. Are you worried?" Third Master Qing beat his chest in annoyance.
At this time, Xiao Letian was still knocking on the gong: "That's right, if foreigners heard about it, we, the Qing Dynasty, wouldn't even be able to protect Xiling, and there would be bandits, so why don't we laugh at us? We can't lose the Qing Dynasty. It’s shameful... Also, I promise you, I will move to Sijiu City before the Spring Festival at the latest. Then you can watch me with your own eyes and see if I will let these brothers rebel. ?”
Xiao Letian broke it, crushed it into pieces, and kept talking over and over again, finally dispelling Mr. Qing's doubts. First update Sanye looked at Xiao Letian hesitantly, "Do you really want to open a foreign bank? Do you really want them to be the bodyguards of the foreign bank?"
"Oh, my third master, when the time comes, you will be part of the foreign company, and you will be watching over it every day, won't you do it?" Third master Qing was finally relieved. He patted the dirt on his body and shouted, "Here comes someone. Prepare for the banquet at noon, I want to get drunk before I stop..."
At this time, a low voice came from outside the door of the wing: "Master, the steward has mobilized troops to the city again. This time he actually surrounded the Guangde. It seems that he is going to attack the shopkeeper Fan Yan... "
"Fuck, this old pervert is actually going to attack Hu Niu. This girl is so pitiful..." Mr. Qing San shook his head angrily.
Xiao Letian looked at Fu Qing with a strange expression and suddenly asked, "Are you just feeling emotional? You don't help a bunch of people, so you don't care at all about the friendship of being in the same boat?"
"I, I, I... what can I do? My uncle makes the decision, has a matchmaker, hires someone, and it's not against the law for me to get involved. What do you mean..."
"Fart! Huniu is the woman I like. Whoever dares to steal me will fight with his life. Update it as soon as possible, you Fuqing. You don't think about it. Let Huniu follow an old man who is about to die. You You actually turned a blind eye and just watched?" Xiao Letian's good mood that he had just accumulated was completely ruined, and his saliva sprayed onto Fu Qing's face.
Fu Qing was blushing now. He found that his thinking could not keep up with Xiao Letian's. Do all foreigners think like this? Why are they completely different from the people of the Qing Dynasty?
His own father didn’t jump in and curse, so how can we outsiders interfere? Besides, Hu Niu was the daughter of a concubine after all, and her status in the big family was actually only a little higher than that of the housekeeper. Many times, this kind of daughter is no different from the servant girl at home. Even marriages are done for the benefit of the family.
Not to mention marrying an old man in his sixties, even marrying a dead person in a ghost marriage is common. What is there to dislike about this? Why is Xiao Letian so angry? Is he really sincere towards Huniu?
"Calm down, brother, calm down. It doesn't matter if you scold me a few times, but don't really go to other people's homes to cause trouble! If the reputation of Hu Niu is ruined, the little girl will really not be able to survive..."
"Holy shit..." Xiao Letian was completely speechless. He was defeated by the thinking of the ancients. It became a crime for me to help Hu Niu break free from the feudal shackles. He was too lazy to talk nonsense to Fu Qing, grabbed his arm and said, "I don't care, anyway, Hu Niu will be my woman in this life, who cares about the two being in love?" Don’t even think about stopping me. Please come to me with more and faster chapters. At worst, I won’t write books anymore, and I won’t open a foreign business anymore. I will follow the example of swimming in Liangshan and causing trouble in Jiangzhou City..."
"Oh brother, you have a temper like a firecracker? You just fall apart! Come back..." Mr. Qing firmly pulled Xiao Letian and patted his chest and promised, "This matter is mine, isn't it okay with me?" ? But brother, please tell me the truth. Is there any drama between you and Hu Niu? Don’t shave your head and pick a hot one..."
Xiao Letian chuckled, "Tell me the truth, brother, even Huniu's father won't object now. Do you think it's hot at one end or at both ends?"
Mr. Qing was completely defeated by Xiao Letian. He said in his heart, OK, after spending a day and night together in the mountains, we were able to steal Hu Niu’s heart. This master who has eaten foreign beef is not like us. identical. Update as soon as possible
If there is one person in Yi County who is not afraid of Mr. Lian, it is Fu Qing. Despite his young age, Fu Qing is still the subordinate of Second Master Lian, but he is a noble man with a yellow flag and he attacked the rank of the fifth-rank Yunqi Lieutenant as soon as the grass fell. Although the family is not as good as it used to be, as long as they put down their dignity, they can be a big family that can have a relationship with the prince.
As for Mr. Lian, he is nothing. He is just a Han Chinese who raised his flag early before entering the customs. He got to the position of Xiling supervisor by flattering people and adding seniority. If you give him face, he will be counted as a green onion; if you don't give him face, he will be counted as a piece of shit.
"Stop, stop, stop... Whose car are you from? You don't have a clue! The Guangde No. is not doing business today..." As soon as the black-covered car that Mr. Qing was riding approached the street where the Guangde No. was located, it was stopped at the entrance of the alley. The guards stopped him.
"The scoundrel monkey blinded you and dared to block your Third Master Qing's car..." With a snap, Fu Qing opened the cotton curtain and stared at the guard with an angry look. Update as soon as possible
"Hey... I'd like to say hello to you, Mr. Third..." The expression on the shabby monkey's face was the same as changing his face. He immediately followed the most respectful and standard procedure of giving a thousand gifts in the Four-Nine City.
"Okay, okay, who asked you to block the door? Don't you know that Shopkeeper Fan is my friend?"
"Hey, my Third Master, what can we offend Shopkeeper Fan? This is the order of Second Master Lian. You have to show mercy to us little errand boys. Who is telling us not to listen? What do you think..."
Xiao Letian had seen the talk of the Eight Banners in the late Qing Dynasty. With a thousand salutes and an impeccable smile, it was so respectful that it was unimaginable. At that time, he recalled the plot in the old version of "Tea House". He was really Unexpectedly, old Beijingers are so polite to each other that they have fun. Please come to more and faster chapters.
However, the superficial respect cannot hide the thorns in the words. A few words can plant a hook in the hearts of Fu Qing and Lian Erye to be wary of each other, and there is also a cleverness in using strength to build strength in the words. Aren’t you, Mr. Qing, a bully? Then I will throw out the second Mr. Lian and start a fight with you two. It’s not honorable for you to take out our errands on us!
Xiao Letian almost applauded this scoundrel in his heart, thinking that if his deputy had such a clever mouth, he wouldn't have to work so hard. But inadvertently, his eyes glanced at the Chaos stall at the entrance of the alley, and he found that the old man selling Chaos had already kneeled on the ground in fear. Moreover, the look in the scoundrel's eyes was filled with fear. He must have been bullied a lot just now.
Why! Flattering superiors and bullying inferiors, this is the true state of the market in the late Qing Dynasty, Xiao Letian sighed secretly in his heart.
"Okay, don't play tricks with your third master, go and settle the wonton bill. It's such a cold day that we are all poor people..." After saying that, a silver light flew past, and there were six or seven pieces of silver. It flew into the hands of the lazy monkey.
"Oh, thank you, Third Master, for the reward..." Shapihou kept saluting at the black boxcar, feeling happy in his heart. But when he looked back at the timid Chaos stall owner, he changed his face and threw the pieces of silver up and down with a cold face.
"Look, if you see something in your eye, be careful not to pull it out! Even if I give it to you, can you find it?" The frightened old man quickly shook his head.
Xiao Letian was a little angry at Fu Qing in the carriage, "You still reward money for something like this? I'm sure he will have to go to Lian Er to report the news."
Fu Qing grimaced and shook his head slightly, "Brother, don't I know the bezoar dog treasure in their belly? I grew up with this group of people... The money I rewarded was actually to buy him for a period of time. He needs to keep his mouth shut, this little money can at least delay him for an hour before reporting, these grandsons are very smart."
This time, no one stopped the black-covered car, and it drove directly into the Guangde No. 1 smoothly. Before Xiao Letian could get out of the car, ten men holding shotguns and looking sad and angry gathered around, looking around vigilantly to protect Xiao Letian.
"Oh! You are Luo Huo, you are Chu Zhao, and your name is Lu Ying..." Xiao Letian's memory is so good that he could never forget the names of the ten musketeers trained by Shan Temple in one night. cried out.
When these ten simple guys heard the master calling their names, they were so excited that tears filled their eyes and they lowered their voices and said, "Don't worry, master, we promise to protect you well. We will shoot anyone who dares to be disrespectful..." That one The tall man named Luo Huo also patted the bulging gunpowder bag on his body.
Xiao Letian didn't expect that after spending a whole night with them, they would be so respectful to him, and they walked into the inner house as if they were guarding their eyes. Along the way, Xiao Letian saw many old acquaintances from the caravan. The clerks and shopkeepers kowtowed to each other and watched with tears in their eyes as the savior returned.
Shopkeeper Liu of Guangde in Yixian County and his crew were all dumbfounded. They suddenly felt that these frost-beaten eggplants were suddenly full of energy today, especially the ten musketeers who stared at them as if they were dead people. They didn't know what murderous intent was, but they could feel that something bad was about to happen to them.
Fu Qing and Xiao Letian walked into the inner house behind the store. Ten musketeers and men loyal to Fan Qian surrounded the inner house study, and not even a fly wanted to enter. Shopkeeper Liu looked embarrassed and wanted to send some dried fruits, tea, etc., but Luo Huo and the others blocked him.
"Shopkeeper Liu, you'd better go about your business at the counter. We'll take care of you in the back room." His cold tone made him unable to say a word.
