In the past three days, Andre had been feeling cowardly.
Originally, he wanted to come to Qiongzhou for negotiation in the name of the envoy of the Franco Kingdom, and use the special conveniences enjoyed by foreigners to promote the purpose of this trip.
You must know that China is a country of traditional etiquette and prides itself on being a land of heaven. Such a face-saving country will definitely not use any despicable means to treat foreign guests.
Well, they often talk about "Wouldn't it be great to have friends from far away?", so this trip is definitely safe.
As a result, he miscalculated.
On the first day he came here, the little leader of the torture chamber held a gun to his head and invited him to the post office. After that, he lost his personal freedom.
However, what is even more disgusting is that during the period of confinement, he ate three meals a day, all of which were boiled vegetables, without any oily smell, and he could only eat half full.
This... is the way of hospitality in the Kingdom of Heaven?
And now, how can we not be angry when we are being ripped off by this seemingly sanctimonious dog official?
This guy is too rude and doesn't take his own group seriously at all. He must be shocked.
As I thought about it, the colonizer's unique sense of superiority couldn't help but arise spontaneously, and even the momentum of his speech became a little floating.
"Master Qi, I have also heard that the kings of Annan and Luzon are more afraid of you, and they almost dare to get angry but dare not speak out. However, I want you to know that our country of Franji is not like Annan and Luzon. Such cowards are the overlords of this world. I am not exaggerating. As long as I write a special request to the motherland, the gunboats of my empire will knock on the door of your country."
Cough, spit!
The claws and fangs of this jackal are finally exposed, right?
Moreover, it is still a naked intimidation.
Who is not angry?
Yes, Sun Bao, who was writing notes on the side, couldn't sit still after hearing what he said. He slapped the table and angrily scolded: "You are so arrogant and talk nonsense. Are you trying to deceive me that China has no one?"
Qi Yu lowered his hand, smiled at him, and said: "Mr. Sun, there is no need to be so angry. We have our own rules and regulations to deal with these ambitious people. Although China is a country of etiquette, it is also a country of martial arts. When friends come, there’s wine; when there’s jackals, there’s shotguns.”
What does it mean to be powerful without being angry, yet able to express one's position at the snap of a finger? This is what Qi Dalang is doing at this moment.
It seems like this fight is a big deal?
All the foreigners, including Andre, were stunned when they heard this. They realized that the Chinese in front of them was indeed a difficult person to deal with.
In their memories, this arrogant posture has always been put forward by oneself, while others can only listen with trembling, but now, it is the other way around.
However, the next words deepened Mr. Andre's senses and impression.
"Mr. An, since I dare to personally lead the gunboats to attack Tuen Mun, it means that I am not afraid of any war. Even if your Franco Kingdom really raises its troops to invade, what do I have to fear? In a word, according to the It’s a blast.”
"You...you ignore the country's diplomacy and act so willfully, aren't you afraid that the emperor of your country will punish you harshly?"
Qi Yu laughed a few times and said in a sonorous voice: "Your imagination is good, but the direction is wrong! I am such a wise emperor, how can I not distinguish right from wrong and criticize the ministers who serve the country loyally? ? No king would turn his elbows outward!"
After a pause, he maintained his dignity and said proudly: "Mr. An, you are a little ignorant. You can ask around in our Dafeng Dynasty. As early as many years ago, I told His Majesty to the people of the world that he had something to say. There are three bad policies in his rule, namely, no compensation, no land cession, and no marriage. These three are not enough to show how wise and domineering our emperor is! Just imagine, if he has such magnanimity, how can he be afraid of you? These small countries? Humph, your lousy gunboats can only add a few handfuls of waste materials to my people’s woodsheds at most.”
"you……"
"What are you doing? Shut up, you arrogant guy! Your family has only built a few half-baked broken ships, and you dare to make such arrogant claims about breaking open the country of China. You are so arrogant! Niang Xipi, I'll deal with you. These second-rate scoundrels don't even need our imperial army, our Qiongzhou Yamen army alone can wipe them out in one fell swoop!" Qi Yu said with his nostrils raised to the sky, seemingly very powerful.
Andre was frightened.
First of all, Emperor Dafeng was a tough monarch, so it was not appropriate to bring the matter to the capital, lest it get out of hand.
Secondly, there is no doubt that Mr. Qi really dares to fight, because he has proven it in the Tuen Mun naval battle.
Who do gangsters fear the most?
ruffian!
Andre thought for a while and immediately changed his attitude: "Ahem, the topic of our discussion today is about the hostages. Oh no, it's what you said about how to compensate for things. How can we talk about it? , does it involve military affairs? In my opinion, we should negotiate amicably and be calm."
Well, this is the attitude you should have!
Qi Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Mr. An is flexible and flexible, and he is also aware of current affairs. He is a very smart person."
Is this sentence an affirmation or a mockery?
Sun Bao, who was recording on the side, was a little stunned. He was wondering, how to understand the true meaning of this sentence?
However, he didn't listen in vain. He basically understood the truth: when dealing with foreigners, you must be tough.
Mr. Qi still agreed with Andre's suggestion.
Yes, friendly consultation is the key to solving the problem, and both sides agree on this.
Now that a consensus in principle has been reached, we can go straight to the topic. Therefore, the two parties exchanged views on the issue of more money and less money.
I'm asking for a lot of money!
I'll pay you back on the spot!
Bargain!
Well, that's almost it...
Eventually, the dust settled and both parties reached a consensus on the ransom amount.
It has to be said that after entering the colonial rule, these people from the Flemish Country became extremely rich. Actually, actually... Qi Yu knocked out 20,000 kilograms of gold.
Are these prisoners so valuable?
Could it be that there is someone with a big background among these people?
This time, he really guessed it right.
After the matter was settled, the attitudes of both parties improved significantly. Andre told him in a very subtle way that among the prisoners, there was a man named Clark. His status was not an ordinary noble one. According to his guess, It is very likely that he is the son of a minister in his home country.
If it weren't for these pressures, he wouldn't be too lazy to mind these nosy matters. As for the attack with troops mentioned before, it was just a scary gimmick.
It can be heard that Andre is also very reluctant to pay for this and has some complaints in his heart.
After hearing these explanations, Qi Yu actually had the idea of going back on his word.
Money is still missing!
No, no, you have to pay at least 30,000 kilograms of gold to close the deal, otherwise, you will lose a lot of money.
Qi Dalang coughed dryly and stretched out three fingers meaningfully...
Um?
Well……
After understanding this, Andre said with a grimace: "To be honest with Mr. Qi, these 20,000 kilograms of gold have reached my limit. Thirty thousand kilograms... it is indeed not possible."
"Really not?"
"I swear to God!"
Only ghosts believe you!
But whatever, it’s a business without capital anyway, so just take some losses if you suffer some losses.
Qi Yu was just about to make a decision when he suddenly heard Andre say something inexplicable again, causing him to swallow back the closing words that slipped to his lips.
"Master Qi, when you raided King Yong's house, you took the opportunity to loot it, and you didn't miss our mere 10,000 kilograms of gold. In my opinion, let's just forget about it..."
"Huh?"
Weird!
How did he know that he looted Prince Yong's palace and obtained gold?
Yes, let alone him, even the prisoners in the cell didn't know, let alone a foreigner from far away.
I still remember that after the victory in the Tuen Mun naval battle, I imprisoned the prisoners first, and then went to dig up the treasury. This was done deliberately first and last in order to prevent others from knowing about it.
But now, this kid actually said it.
This matter can be big or small, so you must not take it lightly, otherwise, you may face a big loss of money!
Gotta figure it out!
As a result, the atmosphere suddenly changed and it felt a bit rigid!
And Qi Yu's face was like the sky in June. It was clear and sunny, but suddenly it turned cloudy: "Who did you listen to about this?"
Andre was stunned for a moment and said, "It's... I just guessed it myself. No one told me."
wrong! This guy is lying!
Otherwise, what are you talking about?
"Mr. An! I am very concerned about this matter, so I hope you can tell me frankly!" Qi Yu said with a serious face.
Andre tasted the product and said smoothly: "Master Qi, I won't hide it from you. Someone did tell me this news specifically, but I have negotiated a big cooperation with that person, because Due to interests, I cannot betray him."
"haha, really?"
"Yes!"
"I ask you again, tell me, or not tell me?"
"Don't say it! That person is someone who can bring me wealth. Why should I betray him? There is no benefit to me..." Andre still refused and shook his head.
Haha, it brings you wealth, but it brings me hidden worries.
If you make me feel uneasy, then don’t blame me for being rude!
Qi Yu first explained to Sun Bao beside him: "Well, don't record the details of the price negotiation just now and the following events. If you accidentally write it down, delete it immediately."
After seeing him nod, Mr. Qi raised his hand towards Zhang Li behind him and ordered: "Bring one in!"
"yes!"
What to bring? Still arguing?
Let's see what happens next.
What happened next seemed to have been rehearsed in advance, quickly and neatly. In just a few breaths, a starved and skinny foreigner prisoner was pushed in.
When it comes to delay, Qi Yu is like a killer, he just pulls out his gun and shoots without saying a word.
boom!
Following the gunshot, the foreigner fell into a pool of blood.
head shot!
This scene is very bloody and violent, and makes people's hearts beat faster.
However, Qi Yu acted as if nothing was wrong. Yun Danfeng gently blew away the remaining smoke from the muzzle of the gun, and then said coldly: "Do you want to say anything? If you still hesitate, I will continue to shoot until you As long as you are willing to tell the truth.”
