The young soldiers didn't know who Fan Ru was, so they saw a bad old man with a withered yellow whip and a face full of age spots standing outside the West Water Gate complaining about their prime minister.

But the veterans who followed Xiao Letian at the earliest, of course, are now basically the most junior officers, and these veterans all know the famous Fan Ru.

Hu Niu's uncle, Fan Yao's brother, only knows the rotten Confucianism who reads to death, and the bad old man who knows how to take advantage of his brother when he hangs the imperial merchant brand.

At the beginning, he wanted to send his niece out as a door bag for the title of an imperial businessman, but later Tanggu Foreign Bank made a fortune, and he shamelessly wanted to eat dividends for nothing.

This old man's shameless face was already well known to all the veterans of the year, and no one in the group of veterans who followed Xiao Letian to Tanggu did not know this guy.

Everyone hates him, but everyone can't do anything about him, Fan Ru is no longer a thing, he is also a relative of the second lady's family, Xiao Letian can't break with this kind of person, and finally hinted to let Fan Yao take care of it more.

Fan Ru's property is now also into the shares of Lotte Bank, although the proportion is very small, but it is the most primitive dry shares, and the dividends eaten every year want to be more, not to mention that the principal has returned, and even the dividends have been reversed several times.

Moreover, half of the goods of the Shanxi Gang are now contracted by Fan Ru, and those old westerners want to catch the big commercial ship of Ryukyu, and they all gather in front of Fan Ru. Although they want to shoot Fan Yao's sycophants more, it is a pity that Fan Yao has not returned to his hometown for several years, and the old shopkeeper is now a giant businessman on an equal footing with foreigners.

All in all, Fan Ru trembled again, and he was even more vigorous than back then, just looking at this outfit, he couldn't buy it without five or six thousand silver.

The melon skin and smiling hair refined from the lake silk, the jade on it is a whole pool of water, and the green is refreshing, as big as a pigeon's egg. The concave and convex three-dimensional bat longevity lines on the light Shu brocade robe are not directly woven on the brocade, but are embroidered by Shu embroiderers, and it takes more than half a year to spend more than half a year by hand.

There are seven heads hanging around the waist, and the seven kinds of men have fan covers, watch covers, wrench covers, glasses cases, betel nut purses, heel jackets, key bags, etc., each of which is tied to the belt with a 'pin'. Look at the materials used by other sons, it is actually warm white jade, with this old man's burning strength, non-Hanyu will not use it.

If you go to Sijiu City to let those big businessmen, especially the pawnshops, take a look, everyone will be stunned, where is this living person, isn't this a silver ticket pasted with a piece of clothing?

Although the old platoon commander guarding the West Water Gate hated this old man, he had to take the initiative to say hello to the face of the prime minister and Fan Yao, he walked up to Fan Ru and saluted a military salute: "The old gentleman is here again, look at the body is quite good!"

Fan Ru pinched the small platoon leader with his eyelids, "Hmm...... It looks quite familiar, your name? Your name is ...... Forget it, I can't remember, I brought fifty-five people this time, you check it and let me clear the customs...... In this hot weather, you still want me to queue up?"

The old platoon commander sighed in his heart, why was he so unlucky to meet him, but he still had to save face, he turned around and shouted to the soldier on duty, "Let this old gentleman add a stopper...... We don't have to respect the elderly, don't we?"

The old platoon commander turned his head and smiled at Fan Ru, "Old man, I didn't say you, you have to take away your wealth and wealth, and of course it is safe to enter the West Water Gate, but in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, there are so many thieves and bandits, and you ...... this body."

......Shh Fan Ru sneered, "Who dares to touch me? With my uncle in charge, I can see who dares to touch me? The small door lets the military master see what is going on with our guys......

"Huh...... Obey the uncle's orders!" A group of fierce guards behind him suddenly took off the latest Mauser rifles from their backs, the roasted blue light flashed brightly, and the more than twenty guards each had two loaded revolvers pinned to their waists, one long and two short, this configuration was actually more fierce than the soldiers of the Marine Corps.

The old platoon commander smiled at the time, "Come on, you are really rich, even if I ask for it in vain, you will send a housekeeper to register, and I will send you to pass the customs first......"

As he was talking, there was a sudden hoarse cry from the east, there were three passes in the West Water Gate, there were dry road checkpoints on the embankment on the north and south banks, and there were sailors on the big river to check the boats for a long time, and Fan Ru's location was the dry road checkpoint on the embankment on the south bank.

When people looked closely, it turned out that several soldiers were escorting a dozen civilians from the east, and those ragged people dragging their children and daughters were obviously three or four families, walking all the way, crying all the way, and scolding all the way.

"Master Bing, I beg you not to drive us away, we are really homeless, the fields in our hometown have been sold, and we will starve to death when we return to our hometown......"

"Master Daguan...... Please show mercy to my son to work in the ironworks, he is clever and skillful, and even the foreigners in the ironworks praise him......"

"Mom...... I'm not going back...... It's better here than my hometown, and the street is cleaner than the landlord's house in the east of the village......"

This way was really a cry that shook the sky, and everyone who heard it was moved, and Fan Ru was also stunned, "What's going on?

The old platoon commander smiled bitterly, "You haven't been here for a long time, there have been a lot of things in Tanggu during this time, and it's messy, it doesn't look like a ......" The old platoon commander took the official document from the soldier's hand, glanced at it, and sighed.

"A petty thief was caught three times in a row and ruled to be evicted...... This family is a born beggar, and the SAR has rescued them three times to make them work, but they are unwilling to do it, and they have also ruled to expel ......"

"This family is very good, my son was attracted to the people recruited by the iron factory, and he wanted to train as a skilled soldier, but he was reluctant to join the Ryukyu nationality and cut his braids...... In the end, the money was spent, and he went to the iron factory every day to scold the street, and even scolded the prime minister, and finally ruled to expel ......"

"The rest of the family is more interesting, the man used to be a bookkeeper, and he came to Lotte to apply for a job as a shopkeeper, and then he also agreed to become a Ryukyu citizen, and even agreed to cut his braids...... However, if he did not let his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law let go of his feet, he had to bind his feet, and finally insulted the court, and was also sentenced to expulsion......"

Fan Ru's eyes widened, "This, this, this...... What kind of dog-skin thing is this? How can this kind of thing be expelled? What is Xiao Letian going to do? Nonsense ......

The people who were expelled, when they saw that this richly dressed old man had spoken fairly, immediately surrounded him and knelt on the ground as a lifesaver.

"Sir, I beg you to judge us, what is wrong with us...... It is said that Prime Minister Xiao of the Ryukyus is fair, but when I look at it today, this Prime Minister Xiao is really bullying!"
