Chapter 864: You are too stupid Dongjiang Mouping City There are more and more foreigners wandering around on the street. It seems that they are not professional at all compared with the Dongchu merchants. The Dongchu merchants before the end of the market They would never leave their stalls, and these foreigners did not look like they were here for business, but more like they were here for sightseeing. The foreigners wearing what the Han people considered strange clothes looked curiously at everything in Mouping City, the streets, the buildings, including the people. It was like the Mouping people looked at the foreigners curiously, but the eyes of the two people were different. The locals in Muping looked at the foreigners as if they had seen some strange animal. When foreigners look at the Mouping people, they look at them as if they were looking at lower animals. People in Mouping secretly ridiculed foreigners for their clothing, especially the swallow-tailed tops and tight pants. The big bulge on the crotch looked disgusting and barbaric. Foreign women generally have very large frames and wear long skirts that expose their shoulders. The two lumps on their chests are as swollen as white-flour steamed buns that have just come out of the pot, swollen to the extreme. Men in Mouping can't help but think about it when they see it, what does it feel like to touch it? Because there are more and more foreigners, the market is becoming less and less peaceful. The biggest advantage of Dongchu merchants is that they abide by the laws of the Sui Dynasty and do not dare to offend the Sui people. Therefore, there were so many Dongchu merchants in Muping City, and there were no vicious incidents. But since the foreigners replaced the Dongchu people, the public security in Mouping has become worse and worse. A while ago, there was a foreigner who took something from a salesman without paying. He was pulled by the salesman and refused to let him go. Without hesitation, the foreigner took out a short blunderbuss from his waist and raised his hand and shot the salesman. The salesman was shot in the leg. A bloody hole fell down with a wail. Police patrolmen and officers and soldiers quickly surrounded him. The foreigner showed no fear in the face of the army and instead cursed. He was restrained by the angry crowd, tied up, and sent to the government. According to the previous rules of the Sui Dynasty, foreigners who dare to cause trouble on the territory of the Sui Dynasty, no matter where they come from, will be sentenced according to the laws of the Sui Dynasty. For example, in Fangu City in the northwest, the herdsmen from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty were all very tough, but no one dared to make any mistakes in front of the border troops. Li Xiaozong could still maintain the majesty of an empire no matter what. Any Mongolians or other grassland people who made trouble would be dealt with immediately as long as they were discovered. But this time there is something different. The foreigner who injured the salesman was taken into the government office. The Muping County Sheriff sentenced him to thirty beatings and sent him to prison to compensate the salesman. But before the beatings could be taken, a group of officers and soldiers came from the general's palace. Then he rushed in, saying that the general wanted to interrogate him personally, and took the foreigners away. The next day, someone saw this foreigner openly appearing in the market, continuing to look at the Sui people with that disgusting look, with an expression like, what can you do to me? Angry people surrounded his stall and demanded an explanation from the government. The officials from Mouping Mansion rushed over and were also shocked. At this time, the soldiers from the General's Mansion appeared again and used sticks to drive away the people surrounding the foreign stalls. They actually left four soldiers armed with wooden sticks to guard them until dark. After this incident happened, there were more and more such things in Muping City. Two days ago, two bearded foreigners openly dragged a young girl into an alley on the street and wanted to do something inappropriate. The girl resisted desperately, attracting the policeman patrolling the street. The policeman was furious and beat the two foreigners severely. Had a meal. Who would have thought that these government officials would be paraded through the streets the next day, accused of destroying diplomatic relations and friendship. The whole of Mouping is filled with a very depressing atmosphere. And those foreigners were laughing wildly. According to the laws of the Sui Dynasty, no matter where people come from, as long as they enter the territory of the Sui Dynasty, they are not allowed to carry weapons. This is the rule of the Sui Dynasty. But in Muping, the foreigners wandering the streets had short muskets in their waists and long swords with strange shapes, like an elongated iron nail. Zuo Mingchan was sitting on the window seat on the second floor of a teahouse. He looked towards the street. Several sellers carrying bulk goods passed by shouting. One of them raised his head and looked up. Zuo Mingchan The cicada calmly nodded slightly, and the salesman immediately quickened his pace and left. On the street, a tavern owner was punched by a foreigner. The drunken foreigner was beating the person while muttering something, and the blood on the corner of the elderly tavern owner's mouth was so bright red. The crowd immediately gathered and pointed, and some angry people among them stepped forward to argue, but were pulled back by their relatives. They lowered their voices and said, "Why are you minding your own business? Be careful that people from the government will arrest you and parade you through the streets!" These words wiped out the idea of ??doing something brave for justice. The tavern owner was broken at the corner of his mouth, and the tavern ownerThose who walked away walked away. The foreigner walked staggeringly on the street, picked up a piece of fruit from the stall next to him, put it in his mouth and gnawed on it. The fruit seller opened his mouth and finally tolerated it. It has only been a few months, but because of the intervention of the General's Office, the pride in the bones of the Mouping locals has been replaced by cowardice so quickly. The foreigner pulled a young woman who was passing by into his arms. The young woman screamed in fear, but could not get away. The passers-by watched helplessly as the young woman was pulled into a small alley by the foreigner, all of them expressionless. At this moment, a salesman came over carrying something and seemed to have accidentally knocked the foreigner over. The foreigner immediately spat and cursed at the salesman. The salesman hurried over, helped him up, and then smiled and said something. Seeing the flattery on the salesman's face, the onlookers' eyes were angry. Those eyes clearly said that this salesman was a shameless scum! But he forgot that he was indifferent when he watched the foreigner pulling the young woman. The salesman actually spoke a few foreign words and pointed into the alley. The foreigner immediately laughed and pulled the salesman inside. The salesman made a gesture when he turned around, and several salesmen who were traveling with him immediately entered the alley first. Not far away, several government officials patrolling the streets looked at this side. One of them whispered something into the catcher's ear. The catcher nodded slightly, and then led the people to the other side. ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ In the alley, a group of salesmen beat and kicked the foreigner and knocked him down. Because his mouth was blocked with rags, the foreigner could only send out a weak cry for help. The gangsters moved very quickly, knocking down the foreigner and punching him several times at the vital parts. The foreigner immediately passed out. On the other side of the alley, several government officials who came around watched this scene happen. The government official who reminded the arrester before turned around and asked, "Are you going to arrest me?" "I didn't even see it." After saying that, he turned around and left. The other government officials looked at each other, and then they all looked at the sky or their own feet: "I heard that there was a baby in Lao Chen's family yesterday, and we will take turns in a while. After that, go to his house to see how happy he is?" "Okay, okay, bring a few pounds of eggs!" "Count me in," the usually serious head catcher said back, His expressionless look was no longer as intimidating as before. The government officials were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. The head catcher took out the money bag from his arms and handed it to one of the yamen: "Buy some more red dates, don't buy big roosters, buy some black-bone chickens, and then buy some crucian carp." "Oh, boss, you are an expert. ." A government official said with a smile. The catcher glared at him fiercely, and then laughed to himself: "Polloring the streets! Patrolling the streets! It's peaceful and quiet today, brothers, don't slack off. In the future, whenever you encounter things that are peaceful and peaceful like today, just smile. , Do you understand?¡± ¡°Understood!¡± The officials nodded neatly. In the alley, the salesmen smiled as they watched the government officials leave, then put the foreigner into a sack, and the two of them carried him out of the alley. Zuo Mingchan stood up from the second floor, settled the money and left. He wandered around the street for a while, and passed by the gate of Yang Shunhui's General's Mansion. He found several carriages parked outside the General's Mansion. It could be seen from the expression on the coachman's face that the person who hired them was obviously not very good. Being treated well, Zuo Mingchan speculated that he must be a foreigner. He wandered around the street seemingly aimlessly for a while, and then returned to the shop where goods were sold all over the world. When the shopkeeper Zhou Mingli saw him coming back, he immediately ordered people to close the shop in advance: "If we close the shop early today, there won't be much business." The boy quickly closed the door, feeling glad that he could rest earlier. Zuo Mingchan and Zhou Mingli looked at each other and walked into the backyard one after another. In the woodshed in the backyard, the foreigner who had been beaten almost out of shape woke up after pouring a bucket of cold water on him. He watched the big men in front of him shrink back involuntarily, with fear in his eyes. Zhou Mingli separated and walked in. He glanced at the foreigner and frowned: "Why did the fight end like this?" Without waiting for his subordinates to explain, he said seriously: "It's so light!" His subordinates immediately laughed, Someone went up and immediately made up for it. The foreigner was kicked in the chest so hard that he almost couldn't breathe. The foreigner shrank back hard, fearing that he would be beaten again. "Your name is Dekeli, from the Opulu Empire, right?" Zhou Mingli asked. What was unexpected was that he could speak so well as a foreigner. No??, as a steward in Muping City, if you don't have the ability, you will naturally not be able to sit still. "Now I give you two choices. First, if you answer truthfully what I ask, you will live. Second, if I ask you no matter what, you don't have to answer, and you will die." Dekeli's face was as white as paper, and he clicked immediately. nodded. "Has Dong Chu been destroyed by your Opulu Empire?" Zhou Mingli asked. Dekeri was stunned for a moment, then shook his head vigorously: "I don't know." Zuo Mingchan, who was standing on one side, pulled out a horizontal knife from the waist of the riding school beside him as fast as lightning, and slashed Dekeri's left hand with one blow Chopped. Before he could wail, a knight from the Riding School quickly blocked Dekeli's mouth with a rag, and his wail turned into a muffled groan. Blood spurted out from the wound on his wrist, and Dekeli fainted from the pain the next second. Another bucket of cold water poured over the head. When Dekeri woke up, the first thing he saw was the shining knife. "Yes!" He saw the knife shaking again, and immediately answered before anyone asked: "The army of the Opulu Empire has already invaded Dongchu. If nothing else, Emperor Leman is now standing in Dongchu. In the palace of Chu State." Zhou Mingli's expression changed: "How many troops came to attack the Dong Chu Aopulu Empire?" "I really don't know." De Keli looked at Zhou Mingli with pleading eyes. We were ordered by Archduke Hullens to confuse your Han army into thinking that we really just want to do business. I don¡¯t know about the military, but if you don¡¯t kill me, I¡¯ll tell you who knows!¡± "Okay" Zhou Mingli agreed simply: "Tell me and I will let you live." "Marquis Cleo is in Yang Shunhui's house. He is the representative of Grand Duke Hullens. He knows very well! He is a man in his sixties. He is about 6 years old, has a slight stoop, and wears glasses. If you have seen him, you will know that I am not lying!" After saying this, Dekeli suddenly realized something. He said a little too much. Zhou Mingli turned around and walked out, and then a knight from the Riding School pulled out a knife and walked towards Dekeri. Dekeri wailed: "You promised not to kill me, you have to be unreasonable!" Zhou Mingli looked back at him: "Stupid Man, do you think I will be able to reason with my enemy? If you bite me to death and don¡¯t tell me what Marquis Cleo looks like, I will not kill you for the time being. It¡¯s all your own fault for being stupid and breaking off his hands and feet. , and then throw it into the sea, some greedy fish will come over. "
