Chapter 832: Zhou Xing's Thoughts!(First Update)
Of course, there is no record of this high priest in the book, after all, no matter how high the level of education in Mali is, it will not put the events of two years ago in the history books.
Zhou Xing was interested in searching on the Internet because he saw that the Bambala tribe also had a high priest, and accidentally found the news - two years ago, that is, in May 2015, the high priest of the Bambara tribe suddenly disappeared!
The Bambala ethnic group is the most populous ethnic group in Mali, accounting for 34% of the population among more than 20 ethnic groups in the country, and it can be said that it is the largest ethnic group with absolute superiority.
And Zhou Xing happened to learn from Luo Hong today that also the year before last, Alegh was forced to resign by the current President Dute and returned to Segou, the stronghold of the Bambara-based tribe.
Just now, Zhou Xing checked the original news through the computer and confirmed the time of Aleger's resignation - July 2015!
That is, two months after the disappearance of the high priest, Alegh was forced to resign and return to Segou.
In the past, the high priest of the Bambala tribe also lived in one of the tribes of Segou.
At a similar time and in the same place, they are all figures at the peak of prestige in the tribe, if there is no connection between these two things, I don't believe that Zhou Xing was killed.
But for more than two years, there was no news of the high priest, no one alive, no body was dead, no one knew where he had gone, neither the police nor the tribesmen searched everywhere, but they could not find him.
If it is said that the high priest disappeared after Alegh returned to Segou, Zhou Xing can also guess that Alegh murdered or placed the high priest under house arrest in order to gain power, after all, the high priest's influence in the clan is too great, and if Alegg wants to do anything, he must pass the high priesthood.
But the high priest disappeared two months before Aleg's resignation, which made Zhou Xing puzzled.
Although this does not completely dispel the suspicion of Allege, it is clear that his suspicion is very low from the perspective of time - at that time, Allegh was still a prominent member of the Malian military and politics, and there was no movement to resign.
Of course, there is no evidence that it has nothing to do with him.
Just as Zhou Xing was thinking about these messages, there was a knock on his door, and Secretary Dong's voice came from outside: "Mr. Zhou, I'm Dong Jian, is it convenient to go in now?"
When Zhou Xing opened the door, he saw Dong Jian retreating to the side, and Liu Lincheng and Bao Chunsheng were standing outside the door.
After inviting the two into the living room, Secretary Dong began to make tea.
When the teacup was brought over, Zhou Xing noticed that it was green tea, and couldn't help but be curious: "This is what you brought here?"
In Zhou Xing's mind, whether this is Africa or West Africa, tea should be very rare, and coffee is almost the same.
But Liu Lincheng shook his head with a smile and said, "You don't know this, in Mali, green tea can be found everywhere, and most families have the habit of drinking green tea." ”
Seeing Zhou Xing's surprised eyes, Liu Lincheng took a sip of tea and said:
"If you go to Bamako, you can walk into a small grocery store and you can buy our Chinese green tea. These teas are all big road goods according to our standards, and are called "pearl tea" or eyebrow tea by insiders, which is the kind of pressed green tea, with poor taste and many impurities, but the taste is strong and shelf-stable, so it is very popular here. ”
Bao Chunsheng also nodded and said: "Yes, as far as I know, the most exported tea from our China to Mali is tea, but it is a little different from our drinking method, they like to boil it in a tin can, and then add sugar." ”
Liu Lincheng laughed when he heard this: "Director Bao, in fact, this is not their annual consumption, as early as the sixties, one of our economic aid to Mali is to help them grow tea, last year for the first time their annual output of dry tea exceeded 200 tons, but do you know how much tea they import every year?"
Bao Chunsheng smiled silently, while Zhou Xing looked at Liu Lincheng curiously: "How much?"
Liu Lincheng made a 'six' gesture: "Last year, we imported more than 6,000 tons. ”
Zhou Xing was suddenly surprised: "So many!"
Liu Lincheng nodded and said: "Yes, they have been drinking since they got up in the morning, how many years have they been used to it, the total population of Mali is only about 18 million, on average, each person consumes more than six taels per year, you can imagine how much they like to drink." ”
Zhou Xing couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Sure enough, I read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, and I didn't know that such a small country as Africa still likes to drink tea." ”
Liu Lincheng said with a smile: "Speaking of which, there is one person who has contributed to the fact that the Malian people's love for tea has come to this point. ”
This time, Liu Lincheng did not sell it, and then said: "It was the previous high priest of the Bambala tribe, Guta, at that time we established diplomatic relations with Mali, because considering the influence of the high priest in Mali, the visiting group also gave him some gifts, including tea, and the Malian people saw that the high priest liked to drink, and they also followed suit, and now, Mali's per capita consumption capacity of tea can also rank among the top ten in the world." ”
Hearing Liu Lincheng mention the high priest again, although it was the previous term, Zhou Xing's heart suddenly moved.
"Ambassador Liu, I learned that this high priest disappeared two years ago, do you know much about him?"
Liu Lincheng looked at Zhou Xing in surprise: "You even know this?"
Subsequently, Liu Lincheng noticed the books on the table, and thought of what Secretary Dong had just told him, so he asked, "Are you all reading from the books?"
Zhou Xing shook his head and said, "No, I saw the introduction of the high priest in a book, and then searched for relevant news on the Internet. ”
Liu Lincheng nodded and said, "Mr. Zhou, although we have met for less than half a day, you have indeed surprised me too much, I didn't expect you to even understand Bambala, if I didn't know that you would definitely have a better development, I would like to ask you to help me here." ”
Zhou Xing smiled: "I came here this time, mainly for the hostages, to rescue them at all costs, and to ensure that they are safe." ”
Bao Chunsheng and Liu Lincheng glanced at each other, and there was a trace of worry in their eyes, and Bao Chunsheng sighed:
"It's not easy to solve this kind of thing, and it's not easy to encounter such a situation. ”
Subsequently, Liu Lincheng introduced the high priest he knew and knew to Zhou Xing.
"The two high priests are very kind and committed to maintaining regional stability, especially this high priest Zagu, who is very close to us in China, I will visit him every year, it can be said that he is a respected old man, I really can't imagine why he disappeared, and he has not been seen for two years. ”
When Zhou Xing listened, he didn't say anything, his eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about something, and after Liu Lincheng finished speaking, Zhou Xing pondered for a moment, suddenly leaned forward, and said in a low voice:
"I have an idea right now, I don't know what you think. ”
Hearing Zhou Xing's gesture, Bao Chunsheng and the others were stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "What?"
Zhou Xing lowered his voice: "Since the high priest has been missing for two years, it is obvious that he will not appear in the near future, and even if he appears, the relationship with our Huaxia will not make things so stiff, so I want to pretend to be the high priest." ”
