1877 Gem Island

"Half of the guards company will be divided to protect His Majesty and King Shang Tai to move to Galle Castle......" Xiao Lotian shouted, "The rest of the non-combatants are also transferred to Galle Castle......"

"The rest of the soldiers followed me, and the bullets were unloaded...... Don't hurt the local people, there must be a misunderstanding here! Damn, why didn't the British on the docks intervene?"

Xiao Lotian analyzed all kinds of possibilities at that moment. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info popular uprising, this possibility is very small, what kind of enmity do the Sri Lankan people have with the Chinese? I haven't had much contact before.

The British have turned their faces? It is also unlikely, and if they want to turn their faces, they will do it directly on the sea.

Does the French spy play a ghost and provoke such a large civil unrest on British territory, especially in a military location like Galle? It sounds absurd.

Thinking about it, the biggest possibility is that there is a misunderstanding between the Chinese soldiers who are not ventilated and the local aborigines.

"Yes, it's very likely that because of this, Sri Lanka has a very mixed religious beliefs, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and all kinds of strange tribal beliefs, which can be seen from the strange costumes and strange tattoos on the locals!"

"It must have been a soldier on leave who touched the taboo of the locals, which caused a serious misunderstanding...... We can't let the situation escalate, even if we suffer losses, we must back down three points!"

Xiao Lotian began to run wildly towards the dock with more than 20 soldiers of the guard company, and the more he ran, the more he verified his guess, because he found that many British military police were watching jokes outside the chaotic crowd, and had no intention of intervening at all, which showed that this chaos should not be a conflict between countries, but just a controllable quarrel.

Even if it's a quarrel, this is the first time that the Chinese army has appeared in the Indian Ocean, how can it leave a bad impression, I will close them when these stupid people turn around.

Galle Castle is not far from the pier, and after running along the coastal path for more than ten minutes, you can clearly see the chaotic crowd, Xiao Lotian yelled, "All of them...... Emergency Gathering...... Move closer to me!"

Then he shouted in English to the British military police who were watching the excitement: "I am Xiao Letian, the head of the Chinese family, and I ask you to intervene immediately to stop this chaos!"

Seeing the lively British people frightened at that time, they really didn't expect that this man in a white shirt was the Chinese head of state Xiao Letian, a British sheriff with a group of Sikh turbans immediately stood up and saluted.

"Hello, Honorable Prime Minister!" the sheriff rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "What do you say? Honorable Prime Minister, what chaos? Where is the confusion? No......"

The guard who rushed to the front even had his nose crooked, and he pointed at the crowd and shouted, "What is this? Eight or nine hundred local people are besieging more than 100 of our Chinese soldiers, are you indifferent?"

The sheriff stared at the innocent eyes, and it took a minute to understand the company commander's English with a strange accent, and then smiled innocently, "Oh my God, you really misunderstood, they are not the soldiers who attacked you, those natives are doing business!"

"Do business?" Xiao Letian and all the soldiers present were dumbfounded, and then the exclamations of King Shangtai and Emperor Tongzhi sounded behind him, "Do business?

Xiao Letian turned his head and glared at the two disobedient apprentices, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of outsiders, so he could only let them follow.

The lion country in Zaichun's mouth is the ancient name of Sri Lanka by the ancient Chinese, and the Chinese know too little about this huge island, and they don't know anything about the customs and people, so what the British sheriff said, the people present did not believe it at all.

At this moment, more than thirty soldiers stumbled out of the crowd, their clothes were buttoned open, their hats were crooked, and they staggered as if they were drunk.

The commander of the guard company roared angrily: "All of them! Lizheng! Hmm, Wang Chen, Ye Qiu...... Are you two trapped inside, too? Tell me what's going on? Are you angry?"

It was Wang Chen and Ye Qiu who were disgraced, they were the first class of soldiers on vacation, and they looked at the presence of the Führer and the two of them were ashamed to go into the mouse hole, and it was true that they didn't reply and put aside their grooming first.

Due to the presence of the British military and police around them, the local natives who chased after them did not dare to get too close, so they had to shift their targets to attack other Chinese soldiers, of course, there were a few people who dared to see Xiao Letian and Yu Xuanang actually wanted to get closer.

As a result, a group of Sikh turbaned policemen beat them with sticks.

Xiao Lotian suddenly waved his hand, "Wait a minute...... Bring me the thin black man at the front, do you know English?"

Two Sikh turbans walked over with a timid native, it seemed that this natives had seen some of the world, although they were timid, but not to the point of being stupid, as soon as they saw Xiao Letian immediately took out a dirty handkerchief from his arms, and said in English with a flattering face.

"Jewel...... Dear guests, I have the most beautiful gem in all of Sri Lanka, count it as your best price......"

Xiao Lotian was stunned at the time: "You are not a mob? You are selling gems? Could it be that the seven or eight hundred people on this pier are all selling gems?"

The British sheriff next to him smiled and said, "Yes, honorable Prime Minister, they are all gem dealers, the island of Sri Lanka originally had a name called gemstone, this is the world's largest sapphire source, and other gemstones are also very prolific......"

Stamping his feet, the sheriff smiled and said, "You're welcome, even we have gems under our feet, and there are gems under any piece of land on this island, but it's just a matter of how many!"

Wang Chen and Ye Qiu also said with sad faces, "Report to the Führer, they really didn't attack us, they just came to us to do business, my God!

Ye Qiu pointed at Wang Chen with his hand, "They all blame him, if it weren't for his leakage, we wouldn't have let so many jewelry dealers surround us......"

Wang Chen scratched his head aggrievedly, and took out a shining blue gemstone from his pocket, visually measuring the volume like a peanut, the color was very pure and the blue was very transparent, but it had not been cut and polished well.

Xiao Lotian took the sapphire and gently rotated it with his thumb and index finger, "It's not big, it's not small, it should be very good to make a small ring, but I don't know if it's true or not......"

The British military policeman beside him stretched out his hand and said, "I have been in contact with the jewelry dealers here for many years, I still have some experience, can you show me a look?"

The military police officer who took the transparent sapphire looked at it carefully in the sun, "Very good, very beautiful sapphire, as the prime minister said, it must be beautiful to make a ring, can you tell me how much you bought it?"

Wang Chen scratched his head and stretched out two fingers embarrassedly.

The sheriff smiled, "Did you spend two pounds? It's a little expensive, this is the origin of the gemstone, and this piece has not been cut and polished, in fact, you can give one and a half pounds, two pounds is indeed a little expensive, but it can't be regarded as a loss......"

Ye Qiu jumped up directly, "Pull it down, this stupid guy has blackened twenty dragon pattern silver dollars!"
