Tall, fast, but can't stand the people behind them to run faster, people slammed on the body, a stumbling is to fall to the ground, a group of people stepped forward is to kick and beat, the tall man at the beginning of the fist knocked down one, but can not stand the crowd, not long is beaten to the ground, there is no stop begging for mercy.

That Manager Xu was like a snake on the ground, and after a little look, he understood why, and explained with a smile to Li Meng beside him:

"Don't pay attention to it, it's just that some gamblers are entangled over there for gambling matters, and they will disperse later."

Looking at the past, sure enough, the house where those people came out said Juyi Hall, which made Li Meng laugh dumbly, thinking that this could be where Shuibo Liangshan is located. This is the rule of the gambling house, although the casino gambling house earns black money, but on the bright side always have to pay attention to it, always say, the dice turn that is a friend, the so-called single prostitution, double gambling, this is the origin of the so-called Juyi Hall.

Of course, Li Meng didn't know what to say about this kind of market, but the "sheep temple" over there made him wonder very much, thinking that it was a temple dedicated to sheep, maybe it was related to the twenty-eight stars in the sky, chatting is chatting, and he asked, that

Manager Xu's knowledge is really broad, and he said with a smile:

"Don't say that it's a sheep, there are frogs in Jiangnan, don't adults know about Wutong?"

Wutong God is a kind of local witchcraft sacrifice in Jiangnan for many years, and it is generally rumored to be obscene, and it belongs to a very local thing, Li Meng naturally does not know. But it's still very interesting to listen to it as an encyclopedia.

This side is gossiping, and the beating over there has not stopped, and there are screams at the beginning. Later, the screams gradually subsided. Li Meng frowned, thinking that it was just a trivial matter of a few taels of silver, why bother to make such a big movement, and couldn't help but shout over there:

"Stop! If you beat someone again, you will be killed! ”

As soon as he shouted here, a few gamblers over there turned their heads scoldingly, and when they saw Li Meng's posture on the horse, as well as the eunuch beside him who was obviously not low, he knew that he couldn't afford to offend, and was about to disperse, but he felt unwilling. Someone complained:

"A few masters, this time is really a bad thing, gambling money, and today I still came to cheat money with lead-filled dice, and the villains are really angry! He owes thirty taels of silver in this gambling house, and we are also a small business here, so we can't afford to toss! ”

Hear this. Li Meng shook his head, thinking that this scoundrel, he would not be wronged if he was killed, after all, he was not a person of this era, and he was not very sensitive to some things.

Eunuch Xu on the side suddenly became angry, raised his fat fingers, pointed at the gamblers in front of him and shouted:

"Lawless madman, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven and Earth, how can you be beaten like this, aren't you afraid that Ying Tianfu will exterminate the Nine Clans!?"

These words were shouted. Don't say that it was those gamblers, even Li Meng's side was taken aback, thinking that Lao Xu, you are too fussed, just about to open his mouth to persuade, but he reacted, the title of "Fanzi", doesn't it mean that Tiqi Jinyiwei and the subordinate staff of Dongchang, these gamblers are so arrogant, no wonder Manager Xu is so angry, as an internal official, he has something to do with these two yamen.

He shouted. Li Meng's subordinates and his subordinates were staring at each other, and the gamblers were suddenly frightened, and more than a dozen people knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy again and again, and said in a loud voice:

"Sir. Master. Even if Xiaodi has the courage to do such a ...... of killing heads and exterminating the clan."

He also said that he had lunch, and he didn't go into the restaurant for half a day. It's just outside, but the gambler talked for a long time before he figured out that the person who was beaten was not a "fanzi" at all, but a "ghost", that is to say, a foreigner, and someone in the gambler didn't speak very well, so he made such a joke with an accent.

Since it was a foreigner, then Manager Xu didn't bother to pay attention to it, what a big deal it was to beat a foreigner, maybe he didn't care if he killed the government, he lost interest, and walked directly into the restaurant.

Hearing that it was a foreigner, Li Meng paid attention to it, according to the history textbook he studied, the era of Europe passing through China should be a few decades ago, the beginning of the great geographical emergence and great voyage, so that the West earned a lot of wealth, but also let their local civilization increase, of course, but also let their territorial and colonial ambitions swell, Western Francis people in the Ming Dynasty is not uncommon. In all prosperous towns, places such as churches are not uncommon, and foreigners and foreign businessmen are even more common, but Li Meng has no opportunity to contact, and if he takes the initiative to contact, he is such a small capital, which will cause gossip and suspicion.

But Li Meng also knows that there are many things that the West must need at present, even if he knows, the West should have begun the transformation of the medieval army to the modern army, and the use of firearms and navigation must begin to pass through China, and if he wants to be strong, it is very important to know this.

The foreigner in front of him may be an opportunity, but it is really hard to say what kind of character a foreigner who was beaten by gamblers on the street and relied on his debts, what kind of embarrassment he has become, and how much help he will have.

But it's better to have this hope than nothing, isn't it? Li Meng smiled and made up his mind, and said to the servants around him:

"Give these men thirty taels of silver, and bring the foreigner with you!"

Li Meng's guards naturally didn't have any doubts, nodded and agreed, took the silver and handed it over to those gamblers, the gamblers were frightened once, they had little hope for this gambling account, but they didn't expect the silver to arrive, they were quite happy, and they dispersed in a hurry.

The foreigner who fell to the ground over there, Li Meng thought that he was not lightly injured, who would have thought that as soon as the person dispersed, this person staggered up from the ground, and muttered a few words before leaving.

It seems that he is really a thick-skinned character, and he is really lazy, and as soon as the foreigner wanted to leave, he was dragged by several Li Meng's guards, and shouted:

"Your account of thirty taels of silver was paid back by our lordship, so you are going to leave!"

Directly pushed Sangsang to the front, the restaurant had already begun to serve, Eunuch Xu smelled the fragrance, and was a little hungry in his stomach, but he wanted to accompany Li Meng, and he was very anxious.

Li Meng got off the horse and looked at the foreigner who came to him, this foreign devil didn't see any scars on his face, but his body was full of messy footprints, even if his clothes were tattered, he obviously held his head and protected his head and face when he was beaten.

It's a very standard golden eye, a high nose, and the white blood at this time is purer than modern times, and it looks really white, but the messy beard completely destroys the image that can still be seen a few times. This foreign devil surnamed "Fei" is also knowledgeable, and as soon as they meet, they say thank you.

According to Li Meng's thoughts, that is, the impression obtained by those film and television dramas in modern times, no matter what this foreigner says, he must put his hands on his chest, then bow deeply, and say something like "Thank you, noble lord, for rescuing me, a traveler in a foreign land", etc., the accent must be weird, and the words spoken must be translated, which is the standard encounter with foreigners.

Who would have thought that as soon as this foreign devil arrived in front of him, he knelt in front of him, kowtowed a few times, and said:

"The great kindness of the big lord, the little people can't pay off the cows and horses in the next life, if it weren't for the lord to save you, the villain would have died here today."

After speaking, he kowtowed again, and the sound was very hard, the accent of this speech was according to what Li Meng had seen and heard in the past few days, it was really an authentic Nanjing official dialect, at least the turtle boy and maid on the bank street were all like this.

This impression really made Li Meng stunned, stunned, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, looking at the appearance of this foreigner, wearing the clothes of the Ming Dynasty, speaking the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty with a local accent, in addition to this golden eyes and white skin, that is, the real people of the Ming Dynasty.

Later generations called the Westernized Chinese bananas, how to count the one in front of him, Li Meng pondered for a long time and couldn't find the corresponding fruit, maybe it was a little similar to the white-skinned melon!

Li Meng's interest was completely gone, but the stomach of Xu Xiaochu, the chief manager on the side, gurgled a few times, Li Meng laughed a few times, and said to the manager apologetically:

"Rude and rude, come, Mr. Xu, let's sit down together!"

Stretching out his hand to make a gesture of false invitation, Manager Xu said politely, and walked quickly to the front, Li Meng turned around and said casually in the back:

"Let's do things in my house from now on!"

He didn't ask the other party if he was willing, in fact, the foreigner surnamed Fei was not qualified to express his opinion, you must know that to buy a maid with a bit of beauty, a sturdy young man, it doesn't take ten taels of silver, not to mention that he repaid thirty taels of silver on his behalf. This foreign devil is really interesting, and he kowtows again and again, and says in a throat:

"Thank you for taking me in, I must be a cow and a horse."

Li Meng, who entered the restaurant side by side with Manager Xu, heard the shouting behind him, and almost tripped over himself, there are many things in ancient and modern times that really can't be applied to a concept, presumably this Felip's name should be "Philip"!

The most important thing at the moment is to go to the arsenal, put this matter aside first, Li Meng smiled bitterly, and was polite to Manager Xu.
