Chapter Seventy-Seven: Night Walking
Gan Tang looked at Dieniang with fixed eyes, and did not make a sound, there were too many words in his mouth, but he couldn't raise any interest in opening up, so he simply responded silently, waiting for the female prostitute to say it herself.
He could hold it back, but Zhang Ma couldn't hold it, stared at Dieniang with round eyes and scolded: "You-stinky fart, are you a widow?" Lao Tzu killed you! ”
"The slave family is already sitting in the yamen, and whether they live or die depends on the commander."
After Dieniang said this, she didn't forget to smile and throw a wink at Gan Tang, and when she turned to Zhang Ma again, she was cold and scolded: "Dead ghost with no conscience, the slave family has not touched the body for many years, and you don't give money when you sleep, and now you still want to kill people, you pull out a knife!" Kill you! ”
A bit informative.
The words turned around in Gan Tang's head before he realized that this Dieniang was not a prostitute, or at least she had not been a prostitute in the past few years, otherwise where would she not have done business for a few years?
Gan Tang waved his hand to let Zhang Ma sit back, and asked Dieniang, "Which country do you speak?" ”
It looks like the translation of both Chinese and Chinese is a rare species this year, and Li Moran found these two people! A widow who pretended to be a prostitute, Zhang Ma slept with people just over a month after he arrived here; A Jesuit monk with a fanatical religious mind.
"The slave family just heard that Li Gongzi is looking for a helper who can speak Mandarin, and the price is high, and now that the adults are here, the folk girls will talk stupidly and Portuguese, and the folk girls can help the adults." Speaking of business, Dieniang's eyes were also a little serious, and she said: "If you can follow the adults from now on, or if the adults are summoned by the mirror, you can do it." ”
It's a good thing to say, Gan Tang thinks that Dieniang is a smart person, and he knows that if he shows his charm again, he will be annoyed and will be killed.
"You came to be Li Gongzi's translator, and you must have asked for something at the risk of killing your head and losing your head." Gan Tang propped his chin with his arm and said: "What do you ask, say it together, Gan can do it, you stay here to translate, three taels of silver a month; If I can't do it, I will let you go and never break my word. ”
"Hee-hee! The adults are straight to the point, and the slave family can say it. ”
Dieniang laughed out loud and said, "The slave family wants to ask the adult to recognize a fugitive as a sister, and let him leave here with the adult." ”
As soon as the words fell, whether it was Shao Huan on his side or Zhang Ma in the hall, his hands touched the handle of the knife on his waist, and in their opinion, this widow was clearly insulting Gan Tang.
But Gan Tang didn't have this kind of awareness, and asked indifferently: "Who is this person, how old is she to recognize me as a father-in-law, and how did she become a fugitive?" ”
"He is thirteen this year, and there are more than 50 people in Haojing, and he has eight clippers, and he was a fugitive three years ago." Dieniang paused with a smile and said, "As for the origin, only if the adult agrees to the request of the people's daughter, the people's daughter can inform the adult." ”
Gan Tang smiled: "Isn't this a dilemma, you think I don't know the details of the other party, how can I accept a stranger as a sister, I don't promise you to tell me the details if you don't worry, and she is thirteen years old, since she is your master, is this matter requested by her?" ”
Gan Tang and Die Niang obviously thought of a piece, hearing Gan Tang ask, Die Niang inevitably sneered on her face, and said: "The discussion is discussed, originally the slave family discussed with her that she would recognize the adult as her father-in-law, but the slave family didn't expect the adult to be so young." ”
"Why do you want to recruit An, and why do you find Gan?"
"My adult's surname is Gan, which one can enter the class in this summer! Only a family like an adult can protect Miss Quanquan, since Li Gongzi came here, I have seen Li Gongzi's extraordinary bearing, and he must have come out of the eunuch's house, so I paid attention, the slave family used his body in exchange for the news that Li Gongzi was actually doing things for Lord Gan, originally wanted to call the master to recognize Li Gongzi as a righteous brother, but I have not known the identity of Li Gongzi, yesterday I heard Zhang Ma, a dead ghost, said that he would pick up the adult today, and the slave family went back to discuss with the young lady, and came to see the market today. ”
"In the past, although the imperial court called us the Japanese Kou, we could still survive on the island, but now Fanyi and Quanzhou Pu people are not happy, just with the foundation of Pu people here, Pu adults will send troops to deal with the foreigners sooner or later."
Dieniang is serious, and she has the style of a heroine among women, just looking at the style of her speech, Gan Tang, you can think of her status among the widows.
Moreover, she is serious, and Gan Tang can see that she must have been a nuclear family member from a big family before.
"In the past, the slave family watched the master being captured and killed by the opponent, entrusted by the hostess, and the guard Miss was thorough, and the young lady could not let the young lady also die, the adult is the time to employ people, the young lady is proficient in the situation here, if Lord Gan recognizes the young lady as a sister, the young lady can also help the adult."
Gan Tang has been staring at Dieniang's expression when she spoke, in order to judge whether she is telling the truth or a lie, when Dieniang mentioned 'sister', Yu Guang unconsciously glanced at Zhang Ma, so that Gantang scolded Zhang Ma in his heart again.
This stupid dick leaked out when he followed him as a matter of talking about the bed, but he didn't say his exact identity.
"As long as the adults let the young lady lean on the Gan family, and there will be no exile in the future, the slave family is willing to give you a training student in Haojing."
Eight clippers, more than fifty blood-licking pirates.
To be honest, this is not much of a temptation for Gantang.
He couldn't just say yes.
"Let's go, Gan will consider one or two, if it is feasible, let Zhang Ma find you in a few days."
Gan Tang waved his hand to let Dieniang leave, and when she reached the threshold, she said: "Go back and keep your mouth shut, don't leak today's things to Yiren." ”
"The slave family knows, don't worry."
As soon as Dieniang walked out, Zhang Ma drooped his head and looked at Gan Tang, "Lord, I ......"
"Why, do you still want to send it?" Gan Tang looked at Zhang Ma and was angry, and he was laughed angrily, "Let you find two translators for me, you can find a monk who believes in Catholicism, and get a widow back for Lao Tzu." ”
"The first time, you are inexperienced, I don't blame you, in the future, plan carefully, keep your mouth shut, don't tell others everything like a blank sheet of paper." After Gan Tang finished speaking, he glanced out of the door and waved his hand to Zhang Ma and said, "If you want to send it, go and take a good look at what their situation is, what kind of ship is the ship, and what kind of people are people." ”
Zhang Ma was stunned in place and didn't dare to move, and was driven twice by Gan Tang before running out.
When everyone left, Gan Tang leaned back in his chair and let out a loud breath.
didn't agree to Dieniang, not because Gan Tang was afraid of any imperial decree, this decree was very fierce, but in Gantang's status, no one took it seriously. Gan Tang's concern was that he didn't know the situation of these people, nor did he know the general situation of Xiamen Fanyi.
"One by one, Quanzhou Pu Shougeng violated the system and privately built an army, the Portuguese who lured the people's daughters, harassed the coastal pirates, and the pirates who crisscrossed the South China Sea - there are so many people to fight, we have mountains and rivers here, but we can't relax because of the scenery!"
"Drive!"
"Drive! Drive! ”
Under the cover of night, the twenty-one light horses galloped on the ancient road in the south.
The sky is beautiful, the moon is bright and the stars are shining, and you can see the road clearly without torches.
"Phew!!"
After galloping for two hours in a row, the horses were tired, and the sound of wheezing was prominent in the night, and the young man in the group took the initiative to reduce the speed of the horse, leading the people to stop on the side of the road.
Not far away, there is a river, a small forest.
"It's only fifteen miles away from Quanzhou City, and if you repair it, you'll be sleepy."
After the boy got off the horse, he moved the joints of his body with some difficulty, and explained to the people behind him.
This group of people is the Gantang group who turned back from Macao in the south of Daxia to the north.
From the north of Macao, more than 80 miles of day and night travel, will arrive in Quanzhou.
"Lord Wang, can you still hold up your body?"
Pei Sui, who accompanied Gan Tang to Macau with Shao Huan yesterday, came to Gan Tang's side, and his voice trembled to greet him.
After all, Pei Sui is an old man in his sixties, and it has been eight years since he went deep into Sichuan with Chiyang Daoist and organized the heroes of Nanwulin to rescue Gantang.
Originally, according to the characteristics of his martial arts, Gan Tang arranged for the old man to go to the Nanyang Army to be the head of the fighting class, but the old man could not leave his homeland, and he was reluctant to let the rivers and lakes slash blood, so he rejected Gan Tang's proposal.
In the past few years, he has been serving as a guard commander in the Xiangyang Palace. This time, the old man from the south insisted on coming with him, and the reason was to loosen his shins, otherwise the old arms and legs would be rusty.
Along the way, he has suffered from the boss, and I don't know if he regrets it in his heart at the moment......
After Gan Tang finished moving his stiff legs, he began to loosen the muscles and bones of his upper body, and when he heard Pei Sui's words, he smiled and said: "Fortunately, I have spent my free time practicing horseback riding in the past two years." Old heroes should grow stronger, but we young people can't stand the toss. ”
Hearing this, a few of the people who accompanied him laughed heartily, in fact, this time the rest was taken care of by Gan Tang to take care of Pei Sui, after all, he is over sixty years old, how can his physical strength compare with that of young people.
The accompanying Monkey Road Zhong heard the words and admired: "The prince is really extraordinary...... Alas, the humble position is not as good as the great god martial arts, and he has been on the road for more than a month, three thousand miles of clouds and moons, and now he only moves like this...... Hey, I feel like all my bones aren't my own. But feel comfortable, hey ......"
Gan Tang paused, looked sideways, and smiled: "Really? ”
Lu Zhong hurriedly smiled and said, "How dare you deceive the prince?" Although these days are a little harder, the feeling of dominating the world is something that has not been felt in more than ten years before. After being aggrieved for so long, seeing that there are rabbit cubs sent to the door to practice for us, even if the body is hard and tired, I am happy! ”
Gan Tang was noncommittal when he heard this, and looked around, except for the soldiers who had already begun to bury the stove and cook, some of the other Southern Martial Arts masters were on guard and prepared for the light and dark sentry, and nodded.
Pu Shou Geng and his ilk, when it was just an ordinary Arab maritime merchant, because he was good at the economy, Daxia had the mind of accepting all rivers, but as a person of a foreign race, he was entrusted with the important task of the city by the imperial court, not only did not know how to repay the favor, but corrupted the customs money of the imperial court, fornicated with pirates, intercepted passing maritime merchants, and greedy for pleasure, and its mansion was actually nine in.
According to the custom of China for thousands of years, only the imperial palace can build nine courtyards, and the prince's title can be built seven courtyards. In the eyes of the royal family, this fault is probably greater than the above crimes, and in their eyes, such transgression is conspiracy.
According to the information investigated, these customs officers have deteriorated and have become a cancer in collusion with the local gentry and wealthy households, acting for the tiger and even harming the party.
Death is not to blame!
