Chapter Seventy-Five: Xiamen
When Pu Lidong mentioned Charlie's case.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall was cold again.
Huang Jie and Guan Ze even looked at Pu Shougeng with some sideways......
Because they all know that Charlie's case involves Pu Shougeng's youngest son Pu Lixin.
Half a year ago, Charles, a French missionary, took a French noble woman to Bactria to enter Haojing (Xiamen) with a Portuguese merchant ship in the name of mission.
After discovering the woman by accident, Pu Lixin was attracted by her beauty and wanted to humiliate her, but was stopped by Bishop Charles.
Angry and angry, Pu Lixin got into a fight with Charlie, accidentally killed the missionary Charlie, and was chased and killed by the enraged French guards.
was rescued by Pu Shougeng, who was on the island at the time, and escaped from the pride with the boat and came to Quanzhou.
Later, Pu Shougeng learned that the murdered missionary of Charles was actually the younger brother of King Charles V of France, and it is unknown why he came to Daxia thousands of miles away.
Although Daxia leased all Portugal as a place to do business, Portugal in Haojing did not have independent judicial power, and all cases that occurred in Haojing were handed over to the Daxia County Government in Haojing for handling.
Ever since the murder, the French mission has been demanding that the murderer be apprehended. But he has been pressed by Pu Shougeng, and the case has not been handled fairly and justly.
Because this incident caused a lot of trouble in the Hao Realm, and this incident had a very bad impact on the merchants of the various countries who traded in the Hao Realm.
As a Daxia that guides world trade with an open attitude, it has always attached great importance to foreign-related cases, and this matter is very likely to become a breakthrough for the imperial court to attack itself.
Pu Shougeng thought about chatting for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Do you have any good solutions, it's best not to leave a flaw for any Gan family child." ”
Pu Lidong said: "I have learned that not only Haojing, but also the entire Great Xia, the French country is the first time to appear in the East, they are not a maritime country, and there is no ocean-going caravan in their own country, this time they came to Bactria with the Portuguese merchant ship, so that we have room to operate, which French woman and his escort must be solved, without the plaintiff, this case does not exist."
Solve them and you can't solve them in the proud realm, it's better to solve them on the sea, and there is no proof of death.
It is better to call a Japanese stupid person to plunder the passing merchant ships near the Hao Realm, the warriors of the Hao Realm have the obligation to protect the Hao Realm, and when the combined fleet of the Hao Realm goes to clear the pirates, my father can send the two thousand family members raised by the family to join the pirate team of the Japanese stupid Koizumi Ichiro, and destroy them on the sea in one fell swoop.
This not only solves Charlie's case, but also dismisses the loophole of hiding private soldiers in the family, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. ”
"That's all there is to it." Pu Shougeng continued: "That person didn't come with good intentions. The tail of the treatment, before the arrival of the Gan family's children, all disposed of, the back of the three courtyards were demolished, and all the illegal things in the house were cleaned up, and I think the Gan family children may go to my house to live temporarily. ”
Huang Jie said: "Adults deal with it like this, although they lose a lot of money, it is not without benefits, that little child is a ...... No, that one is very talented.
He ran a newspaper again, and he instigated students to make trouble, but the literati were literati in the end, not military attachés. He is young, he must be a good face, let's give him a face, and then offer him to recite poems against him.
Also, Quanzhou is not as good as Jiankang in the end, and there are many things to entertain in various countries, and we make a name for him. As for the other gross things, we will do it for him.
If it really does a good job, this adult is happy, and he will say a few good words to the court for the adult, and then the lord will make great efforts for Master Jia, and the adult may not be able to go to the next level, the queen mother in Beijing is like a torch, and she can naturally see who the person who can do things is.
At that time, the adults said that they would not be able to take us to the capital. ”
When everyone heard this, their complexions changed, and Pu Shougeng's face also stretched a lot.
At his age, ordinary wealth and women can't impress him anymore.
Only power can make him live more......
After listening to Huang Jie's words, how could he not be moved?
After pondering for a while, Liu Zhao said, "What do you mean...... Ignore him? ”
Without Huang Jie answering, Guan Ze smiled on the side: "A teenage hairy child, if he hadn't had such a good family background, I'm afraid he would still be breastfeeding at this time!" It's a good one...... I've heard that he spends his days frolicking and naughty with a bunch of maids on that boat, and he's so unhappy! Such people, hey! It's not hard to deal with......"
Guan Ze touched his fat head and said, "In this way, maybe it's a good thing that kid is coming?" I was still thinking that if he dared to mess around with his important position, he let people do him......"
Now the building ship is still in Zhejiang, floating in the East China Sea.
Judging from the current travel speed, if you want to think of Quanzhou, it will take at least seven or eight days, or even half a month. ”
Territory, above the canal.
The moon hangs high.
On the riverbed, a three-story boat floats slowly......
Occasionally, the storyteller voice of the storyteller on the boat faintly came out, and sometimes there was the singing of opera in a minor key.
The joy of silk and bamboo is endless.
From time to time, there are people on both sides of the strait who are interested in visiting, and the sun sets and the moon rises, day after day.
The southern territory of Great Xia, Xiangshan County, Guangdong Road.
It is less than 100 miles away from Quanzhou Mansion on Fujian Road.
Standing in the south of Xiangshan County, looking at the sea, you can see an island 100 meters away.
Five or six miles from east to west, half from north to south, there are two bays in the north and south, and you can park boats.
Or said north and south two bays, round like a mirror, so called Hao mirror.
In later generations, it was called Macao.
In addition to the Han people on the island, there are many red-haired foreigners who come and go.
This is rarely seen in Great Xia.
And looking at the leisurely and complacent looks of these red-haired Yangyi, they obviously did not regard Haojing as a foreign land.
Also, as early as more than a hundred years ago, when they were still the Great Xia Divine Sect, these red-haired Yangyi borrowed the island in the name of borrowing to dry.
After the establishment of the Great Xia Kingdom, Hongmao Yangyi paid a "rent" of five hundred taels of silver every year, and lived here more and more justifiably.
The government on the island often accepts bribes from him, and when he encounters problems, he turns a blind eye.
For more than 100 years, the existence of Hongyi has become commonplace.
Foreign ships berthed back and forth, and many Western goods entered Daxia since then.
The island is lined with warehouses and merchants from all over the province.
There are so many people coming and going, so when a few new unfamiliar faces appear on the island, it doesn't attract much attention.
……
Xiamen, R&F Foreign Firm.
There were five people standing in the foreign bank, three Han Chinese, and two Hongyi.
It was already early afternoon, and the busiest peak period of foreign banks had passed.
The staff of the foreign bank, who had been busy for most of the day, looked a little tired.
Leaning against the counter or leaning against the wall......
At this moment, the door suddenly darkened, and everyone looked up, and saw three living people coming in from outside.
It seems that they are all extraordinary.
Although there are middle-aged, youthful, and juvenile among the three.
The Han employees hurriedly greeted them and asked with a smile, "Three guest officers, I don't know what you want?" We have Western ...... in R&F Foreign Firm."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the middle-aged man say in a deep voice: "Li Mo'an is here?" ”
The other four foreign bank employees looked at each other when they heard this name, and the Han employees asked carefully: "I don't know who you three are......
The middle-aged man smiled lightly and said, "We are his friends, old friends." ”
Seeing that the clerk hesitated, the young man who had not spoken spoke spoke: "You told Li Mo'an that a friend surnamed Gan came to visit him. ”
When the clerk heard this, he looked at the young man, and saw that he was extremely handsome, but not frivolous, and his bearing was serious, which should not be underestimated, so he nodded and turned into it.
After a while, I heard a "scream" from inside.
Then I saw a tall and thin figure jumping out of the small door at the back, looking at the young man among the three, he "screamed" again, pounced, and frightened everyone.
"Hehehe."
The boy chuckled when he saw his old friend.
He opened his hand and hugged the young man who rushed over.
"Brother Gan!!"
"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for ten months, but are you okay?"
Two teenagers, one is Gan Tang, who should be on the canal floor, and the other should be Li Mo'an, who is studying in Jiankang in the capital.
More than a month ago, it was Gan Tang who arranged for Li Mo'an and Zhang Ma to come here.
"Oh...... Wang ----, it turned out to be really you, you are finally here! ”
Before the two old friends recalled, they heard a cheer of surprise from the small door behind them, and saw that they were covered in oil and their faces looked like "Ma Dad", who was well-known in another world, and squeezed out of the small door and greeted them with a smile.
Gan Tang patted Li Mo'an's back, who was still holding him excitedly.
After the two let go, Zhang Ma next to him laughed a few times and said, "It's great to see you again." Childe, you're getting more and more handsome! ”
With that, I opened my hands and wanted a hug.
Gan Tang smiled and took half a step back, shook his head and said, "Zhang Ma, you are too enthusiastic...... Is there a quieter ashram? I think we can reminisce. ”
Zhang Ma put away his hands with a dry smile, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then come with me, I invite you to drink authentic Françaine black tea and sweet sausages." ”
Zhang Ma squeezed in through the small door again.
Gan Tang and his entourage followed in.
"Brother Li, are you doing?"
When he arrived at a quiet hall at the back, after Li Mo'an personally prepared black tea and snacks, Gan Tang asked again.
Gan Tang looked at his old friend's calm and indifferent eyes with concern, and smiled happily: "Although I began to suffer a lot, I am getting used to it now. Lord Wang, you are right, this place is indeed suitable for me, there are many Yangyiqi-lewd-skillful skills, and it is really far better than Daxia. But he shook his head again, and said: "It's not entirely like this, I have strange books such as "Heavenly Creations", and many skills are not inferior to Fanyi, but unfortunately, there are too few people to learn, it is difficult to become a climate, and no one inherits it, so it is getting more and more backward. ”
