The movement on the deck was so loud that the armed sailors in the cabin flocked to the deck in sprang to the deck, thinking that the Chinese workers were going to riot.

“get out，right no！” The muskets of the black hole were aimed at Huang Ping and the others, and if they resisted slightly, the sailors with guns would not hesitate to press the trigger on their hands.

Huang Ping honestly raised his hand, squatted down, and protected his daughter under him, and several other Chinese workers did not dare to resist when they saw the situation, and squatted down obediently.

"Escort them all!" Seeing that a group of Chinese workers did not dare to resist, the first mate did not ask the reason for the matter, and waved his hand and ordered.

"No, no," the fat sailor clipped in front of the other sailors and stopped, "You can't do this, they are a few of us uniforms, and they should be handed over to us, you have crossed the line by doing so." ”

"Shut up bastard! I'm up to me here! The first mate gave the fat sailor a fierce look and said in disgust.

"They can take it and leave that little girl behind."

The fat sailor, fearing the majesty of the first mate, compromised.

"Leave the girl behind, and the others will take it away." The first mate glanced impatiently at the fat sailor and ordered his men to start taking people.

The two sailors put away their muskets as ordered, took a few steps forward to separate Huang Ping from several other Chinese workers, and vigorously pulled Youlan in Huang Ping's arms.

"Abba, Abba!" He shouted in panic, holding his father's shoulders firmly.

Huang Ping's eyes were red, he knew very well what fate his daughter would face if she left him, he hugged his daughter with his left hand, and touched the scimitar at his waist with his right hand, ready to fight to the death.

"Stop." A typical Hakka dialect sounded at this time, and Huang Ping looked up, and it turned out to be the man with scars who had a conflict a few days ago.

After the scar man spoke, he walked up to the first mate and whispered a few words, the first mate nodded, and signaled to the two sailors in front of him, and the two immediately let go of Youlan and took two steps back.

"Brother Huang, you guys are in trouble, Lord Yang said that you are plotting a riot, and they want to shoot you in front of other Chinese workers." The scarred man said with a look of pity.

"Brother Wang, I was wrong a few days ago, I hope you will help us for the sake of the face of our Hakka people, and after the incident, we will not forget your kindness."

People left their hometowns, left their hometowns that had survived for decades, and on the coolie ship where foreigners were the masters, Huang Ping had to lower his breath for the sake of his daughter and other relatives of the same race.

"Brother Huang, I forgot about the incident a few days ago, how can I still account for it."

The scarred man smiled and said: "The people of the same clan are in trouble, I will bring everyone out, and naturally I will not let it go, but if you make the foreign adults unhappy, I will not be able to do it." ”

"Brother Wang, I still have some scraps of silver here, all of which are given to you." Huang Ping knew that the man with the scar would not be kind enough to help them, so he took out all the family wealth he carried with him and held it in his hand.

All the wealth of Huang Ping's family, the money on the hands of several men added up to only a dozen taels of silver, the scar man shook off the broken silver in his hand with his right hand, walked to the first mate, took out more than half and handed it to him, and said in English that he learned halfway: "My lord, that's all the money on them, you take it first, and when they return to the cabin, let them pay for it to honor you." ”

"King, I let them go for your sake, otherwise they will all be shot for rioting."

The first mate casually took the fragments of silver into his arms and said arrogantly.

"Adults are magnanimous, so naturally they won't bother with them." The scar man complimented and explained: "The villain has a sentence to advise the adults, these people are not ordinary peasants, they are the remnants of the long-haired thieves who rebelled in the past two years, everyone has a life on their backs, you kill a few of them, and the rest of the people may have to riot and rebel, unless all the middle-aged Chinese workers on the ship are killed, otherwise you have to worry about them rioting at any time, so that not only can you not make money from sailing, but also take the boat fare of hundreds of people, the boss will definitely not be satisfied."

So more is better than less, anyway, the conflict they just had was just a small misunderstanding, and simply letting them go will save you trouble. ”

"Well, what you said makes sense, we came to the Far East to make a fortune, and I don't want to kill more people if I can cause less trouble, but they beat the German sailors on board, and they can't convince the people without punishment, you go and tell them that the troublemakers will be given ten lashes each."

"Alas, the villain understands." Scarface turned to Huang Ping and said: "Lord Yang said, I read that you are a first offender, spare your life, and each of you will only be given a whip, but each of you must sign a five-year contract of sale, and promise to work for Heshun Company for five years without compensation, otherwise Lord Yang will kill chickens and monkeys and shoot you in public, I will help you say everything you can say, and it is up to you which way you choose." ”

"Brother Wang, it was that foreigner who caused trouble first, why did he punish us?"

Although Huang Ping and the people went to Nanyang to beg for a living, although the conditions were difficult, after they paid off the shipping fees owed to the coolie ship merchants, the rest of the wages were their own, and the scar man opened his mouth and they signed a five-year unpaid work agreement, which was clearly to let them sell themselves for five years, how could Huang Ping easily agree!

"Hmph, I kindly helped you and don't appreciate it, in this case, I don't care about your business, don't blame others when Lord Yang takes you to a gun." The man with the scar pretended to be angry and walked away.

"Brother Wang, stop, I'...... I agreed. Huang Ping struggled in his heart and agreed.

"Hehe, that's right, it's all a family, Brother Huang rest assured, when you arrive in the Lion City, Heshun Company will not treat everyone badly." The man with the scar said a few words to a few people with a smile, and turned around and walked towards the first officer.

"Lord Yang, they've all done it."

"Very well, take them down and punish them tomorrow morning."

"Sir, you promised to leave that little girl to me, and the people can't go back!" The scar man and the first mate negotiated, and five or six saw that Huang Ping and Youlan were going to be escorted to the cabin, and the fat sailor hurriedly ran over and shouted.

"Bill, when did I promise to hand over the little girl to you, don't talk nonsense, or I will teach you a lesson according to the rules of the ship!"

"Bastard, you just allowed it." When the fat sailor heard the words of the first mate, he was furious, and with the help of the alcohol on his body, he scolded the first mate and turned around and walked towards the mountain, wanting to snatch Youlan from Huang Ping's hands.

"Stop him, shitty mad dog." It was a very serious matter for the sailors in the fleet to openly contradict and insult their superiors, and how could the first mate stand Bill's blatant rebellion against his authority, and immediately shouted loudly.

The fat sailor had always been unpopular in the coolie ship, and now he was injured by several Chinese laborers, and the first mate did not admit that he had just acquiesced to the tower to take away the first girl, and suddenly felt that he had been greatly insulted, and ran forward regardless of it, knocking down three sailors in a row, and appeared behind Youlan.
