When Shen Xi woke up in the afternoon, Zhang Lian had already "interrogated" the Francophile.

It was said that it was arraigned, but because the two Chinese languages were not understood, it was necessary to use the Manraka translator equipped on the ship for translation, and many words were translated into plausible and could not be understood at all.

The entire arraignment process was completed in a state of confusion.

However, Zhang Lian had already counted the spoils, mainly the silver coins brought by the Franc Ji and the gold and silver utensils looted from Southeast Asian countries, as well as the goods looted from the coastal villages of Guangdong, Guangdong and Fujian in the Ming Dynasty. However, compared to gold and silver, the most important thing is porcelain, all kinds of ceramic tableware are cherished by the Franc machine people, and the ceramic Bodhisattva statue that was looted from the people to worship is solemnly packed in a wooden box.

Shen Xi woke up from the room, and Zhang Lian, who had just arrived at the official post, greeted him with a smile and handed over the results of Shen Xi's arraignment, as well as the list of loot.

Shen Xi looked at the long list, Zhang Lian explained the counting process next to him, and finally said: "Lord Qincha, the three sea ships that the Franco people escaped did not travel far, they are currently in the bay outside, and at noon they sent someone over, saying that they were talking about ransom people, what do you think?" ”

Shen Xi tilted his head and glanced at Zhang Lian: "Aren't most of the treasures of the Franc Machine people on this list, and what do they use to redeem them?" ”

Zhang Lian smiled and said: "The Buddha Lang machine still has some wealth, and the idea of the lower official is to write to the court and let His Majesty decide, what do you think?" ”

Shen Xi shook his head and said, "From Fujian to the capital, the short time is three or four months, and the long one is half a year. Your Majesty has ordered the envoys to be here, and you still need to ask Your Majesty everything, do you want me to not have to go back to the capital to restore my life? ”

Zhang Lian was stunned, and now this Lord Qincha actually put on a show? Slander in my heart: "You were just ordered to negotiate with the Francois to ask for tribute, and you don't even have the royal order banner to act cheaply, what kind of envoy is it?" I am respectful to you because I give you face...... With such a big battle exploit right now, I don't even want to record you in the credit book, and you dare to show me a face? ”

Zhang Lao Wu came in from outside, with a happy face: "Two adults, the villain has tied up the envoys of the Franc Machine sent from the remaining three boats, wait for the two adults to show it!" ”

Zhang Lian looked at Zhang Lao Wu very unpleasantly at this time...... You kid ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you didn't even report before you came in, and you came up as "two adults", obviously you didn't take me as the prefect in your eyes!

In fact, Zhang Lao Wu really didn't take Zhang Lian seriously, at this time, he only had Shen Xi in his eyes who led them to kill the enemy and rob the ship yesterday...... People are envoys sent by the imperial court, dignified Lord Qincha, which onion is your small Quanzhou prefect?

"Let the people go." Shen Xi said, "The two countries are not at war, and there is an enemy on the battlefield, so naturally they must fight hard until he is convinced...... However, now that peace talks have begun, we must maintain the magnanimity of our **** great country, and we must not be underestimated. ”

Zhang Lao Wu responded: "Get an order." ”

Zhang Lian glanced at Zhang Lao Wu angrily, turned around and said: "Lord Qincha, there are some things that the subordinate has to remind, now that we have captured so many Francophone people, there are not many of them, see if you can take them all together......"

Shen Xi shook his head: "I was a prisoner from the battlefield before, so I should naturally be treated as a prisoner, but if not, I have to follow the rules." What Your Majesty hopes is that the Gentiles will be sincerely subdued, and if they are taken in the future, then the remaining three Franc ships will surely escape, how can we explain to Your Majesty? ”

Although Zhang Lian had a distrustful attitude towards Shen Xi, when Shen Xi said this, he couldn't find fault at all.

The most important thing is to make the Gentiles submit!

Zhang Lian pondered for a while, and then waved his hand: "Do what Lord Qincha instructs, invite people to the prefect's yamen, and the official will accompany Lord Qincha to meet these Fanbang people later." ”

Zhang Lao Wu was respectful, but when he turned around, there was a bit of hatred on his face.

Zhang Lao Wu and Zhang Lian are from their own family, but they are actually not related to each other, that is, they have the same surname. Zhang Lian is a native of Pingyi Weipingyi Township in Yunnan, after serving as the prefect of Quanzhou in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, Zhang Laowu of the ordinary government servant was appointed as the head of the team, which was originally a good thing for Zhang Laowu, but Zhang Lian was mean by nature, and did not take special care of him on weekdays, and sent Zhang Laowu out of the city to monitor Shenxi yesterday, which was actually similar to sending him to death.

Zhang Lao Wu was a blessing in disguise, and robbed a lot of loot on the ship of the Franc man, Shen Xi said that whoever robbed it belonged to whom, but when he returned to the city, he was confiscated by Zhang Lian, and Zhang Lao Wu and his subordinates were very dissatisfied with this.

Shen Xi finished cleaning up and walked out of the gate of the post house accompanied by Zhang Lian.

I don't know if I don't come out, as soon as Shen Xi went to the street, he found that the outside of the post house was full of people, three floors inside and three floors outside, and thousands of people were crowded into the narrow street, and when he saw Shen Xi coming out accompanied by Governor Zhang, the crowd was noisy, and many people knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Xi.

"Lord Qincha, you are the reborn parents of the people of Quanzhou."

The people are pious, kowtow without the slightest mixture of water, and every time the head hits the ground, there is a "bang" sound, Zhang Lian looked a little surprised next to him, but he pretended to smile and explained to Shen Xi: "Lord Qincha's heroic killing of the enemy yesterday to drive back Fanbang has spread among the people, and the people are here to thank you." ”

Shen Xi led people to defeat the Franc machine people who burned and looted in the port outside the city last night, and the prefect's yamen would definitely not take the initiative to publicize it, but this time Shen Xi went out, both the officials of the government and the armed personnel under the chamber of commerce.

The foreign invasion, the result is that the young man sent by the imperial court, Qin Cha, took the lead, with seventy or eighty good men touched the warship of the Francophone man, this Lord Shen took a long knife to kill, cut off the heads of seven or eight foreign thieves in a row, and finally personally captured the thief leader Al Bird does not the governor......

Among the people, it has long been rumored that the Franc machine man is a murderous devil, and the people think that the Franc machine man is a murderous devil, this group of ferocious devils, but they were destroyed by the Qin Cha and killed like a piece of armor, and the people can only understand that the young Qin Cha is the stars in the sky, and only those who have such the ability to pass through the sky will become the emperor's envoys.

The Emperor's grace is mighty!

Shen Xi didn't expect that he would become a hero in the eyes of the people of Quanzhou so quickly, and when he stepped forward to help up a few people who looked like squires, the kneeling worshippers behind stood up one after another, and all kinds of condolences were sent forward, all of which were not very valuable, such as eggs, rice balls, chicken, duck and fish, rice wine, and so on.

The people are simple-minded, although there is no money at home, but Lord Qincha was so heroic yesterday, he should let Qincha eat and drink some good, replenish his strength, and if there is a Franc machine devil to kill him later, Qincha also has the strength to go out and stand up.

When Zhang Lian saw this scene, he felt even more uncomfortable: "I have done so many things for you, why have you ever treated me like this?" However, his face remained silent, and he waved his hand and said: "Fellow villagers, Lord Qincha is going to interrogate the thieves captured yesterday, please get out of the way, if there is anything, just send it to the prefect's yamen." ”

"Okay, okay."

The crowd began to clamor again, especially when they heard that they were going to interrogate the Franc Machine, and the people wanted to see with their own eyes whether the Franc Robot who was described as the devil was three-headed and six-armed and hideous.

Zhang Lian personally escorted Shen Xi to the official sedan chair, and he turned back to his sedan chair, but before he took two steps, someone behind him trotted all the way out of the official post, and he could hear the male duck shouting from afar: "Lord Qincha, wait for our family......"

It was none other than Shen Xi's deputy envoy Liu Jin.

"Oh, Grandpa Liu is here too? Come on, come on, sit in the official's sedan chair. Zhang Lian greeted him with a smile.

Shen Xi looked at the panting Liu Jin from the sedan window, thinking that this old guy really wanted to get involved in everything, yesterday the Francophone fired at the city, Liu Jin and Mi Lu, Song Laoyue and others hid in the room and didn't dare to come out, and now they want to ask for rewards, and they are more enthusiastic than anyone else.

Liu Jin grinned and waved to the people present.

The common people don't know who this is, but since it is with Qincha, it must be a big official sent by the imperial court, so before Liu Jin entered the sedan chair, two eggs were stuffed in his hands, and Liu Jin muttered beautifully: "I'm just hungry." "I slapped the eggs towards the car door, and it was actually raw eggs, and my hands were full of sticky things.

"What a fucking bad luck!" Liu Jin wiped the shiny liquid on his body, and then got into the sedan chair.

When Shen Xi got off the sedan chair, many people rushed forward and wanted to touch his official uniform to show his closeness, but they were stopped by the official messenger.

Zhang Lao Wu shouted there: "The hearts of the villagers, the Lord Qincha understands it, but in order to prevent Xiaoxiao from being unfavorable to Lord Qincha, please step back, if there is the former, it will be treated as a bandit!" ”

Zhang Lao Wu was still a bear yesterday, and today he is like a general who stands up to the sky, his tone is quite dignified, and the officials around him are all looking at him.

The officials all have a thought in their hearts at the moment, the fifth brother went out with Lord Qincha to kill the enemy yesterday, that is a big hero, we will follow the light and stand next to him majestic.

When the people heard Zhang Lao Wu's words, they no longer stepped forward, but stared left and right, wanting to see who continued to step forward, it must be the "meticulous work" of the Franco machine, which should be unfavorable to Lord Qincha.

"Lord Chincha, please come in."

Zhang Lian was extremely enthusiastic, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, this is the guy who didn't open his eyes and told Qin Cha about taking people out on the expedition yesterday? It is estimated that it is a good thing that you Zhang Lao Wu did, can't you describe that the prefect personally went into battle, supervised the army under artillery fire, and achieved a brilliant victory?

Shen Xi arrived at the main hall of the prefect's yamen, but saw that the three Buddha Lang people were surrounded by more than a dozen officials.

These Franco-sturf men came to negotiate to show peace, but they didn't bring firearms at all, and the swords they were carrying were also unloaded, and they didn't even have any weapons to take advantage of, and they were looked at by a group of officials as enemies, and the two Manraka translators next to them were so frightened that they knelt directly on the ground.

Seeing Shen Xi and Zhang Lian coming in front and back, these Francis obviously knew Zhang Lian, and said a few words to Zhang Lian as if asking for help.

Zhang Lian was confused when he heard this, and asked the Manraka who was kneeling on the ground: "What did he say?" ”

If the Manraka wanted to translate it, they had to translate it from the Franc machine language into Manraka, tell another Manraka, and then translate it into Chinese.

"Back to my lord."

The Manraka people don't speak very well in Chinese, with a strong Hakka accent, but they call adults very smoothly, "He said that he came to ransom people, according to the rules...... Sixty silver coins for one person, one hand for the person, and the other for the money. (To be continued.) )
