Zhu Ting couldn't stop looking at Garcia, his eyes full of curiosity. She is also a metropolis girl who was born in Beijing and grew up in Nanjing, and she travels south and north with a father who is a spy, which can be described as well-informed. It's not that I haven't seen foreigners before, it's just that, in the minds of ordinary people, these European missionaries are too ugly, and after watching them for a long time, it is both annoying and terrifying.

She didn't understand why Sun Yuan regarded this devil as a treasure, looking horizontally and vertically, this person couldn't stop chanting: "God bless!" "Nothing out of the ordinary, it doesn't seem like anything. Sun Yuan, Zhu Ting, understands best, he is a standard pragmatist, everything is based on interests, how can he be interested in talking about metaphysics with a foreigner?

Garcia was a little furious when Zhu Ting looked at him: "Miss Zhu, what do you think I do?" ”

Zhu Ting: "No...... It's nothing, but the Dao Chief's hair is so strange, a little, a bit like a Jiannu, and his scalp is shaved blue. ”

It turned out that Garcia's head, like all the clergy, had been shaved out of an open space, which had the flavor of a place to support the center.

Or, barbed wire, basketball court in the middle.

Sun Yuan couldn't help laughing, and Garcia said solemnly: "My lady, I am a missionary, a slave of God, not a Taoist. ”

As he was talking, suddenly there was a "plop" sound in front of him. I saw a person being thrown directly into the street and fell on his back.

A few thug-looking people clapped their hands and scolded: "Mula next door, I really haven't seen a shameless foreign devil like you, and I don't look at what kind of place this is, and I dare to come over and make trouble." Do you know who the owner of this house is? ”

Sun Yuan and the others looked up, but saw that behind a few thugs was suddenly a two-storey red building, and there were three gilded characters on the flat forehead of the head, "Red Sleeve Move", no need to ask, this is a high-level ****.

The man who had been thrown on the ground turned over and sat up, muttering something in his mouth, and looking at his appearance again, his eyes were already black, and his lips were swollen. If you guessed correctly, this person didn't come to eat the bully chicken, and then was beaten half to death.

As soon as he turned over to speak, Sun Yuan was taken aback. But I saw that this person looked like a southern European race, and he muttered for a long time, no one could understand it, I didn't know whether it was Latin or French, Italian, if I guessed correctly, this person should be the Pablo that Garcia said.

But I saw that this person was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, wearing a dress that I couldn't tell what style it was, with ruffle lace on the neckline and cuffs, and the texture of the vest on his body should be wool. If it weren't for the fact that it was all oily and shiny, clean it up and spray some perfume, it would really smell like a Roman dandy.

"My God, Brother Pablo, how did you get beaten like this?" Sure enough, Garcia let out a low cry and hurriedly stepped forward.

Before he could lift Pablo up from the ground, several thugs rushed up and grabbed Garcia: "It turns out that you are in a gang with him, just in time, get the money out first." This foreign devil has been eating and prostituting in our building these days, and he has already owed fifty taels of silver for tea and fat powder, and it must fall on your head today. ”

"No, no!" Garcia exclaimed in a strange voice, "For God's sake, I have nothing to do with him. ”

"Why doesn't it matter, didn't you just call him brother?" The thug at the head of the group puffed up the bull's eye, raised his toes, and shouted: "You can see and understand the foreign devil, the owner of this building is Jiadingbo." Does Jiadingbo know, that is the father-in-law of the Long Live Lord, the father-in-law of our Ming Dynasty. If you don't pay the money today, arrest you and go to the Yamen of Shuntianfu. ”

Hearing that several thugs reported their names, Sun Yuan was taken aback. Jiadingbo, isn't he the father of Emperor Chongzhen's empress Empress Zhou? This is a celebrity, in real history, before Li Zicheng entered Beijing in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen. The finances of the Ming Dynasty had completely collapsed, and Chongzhen could not even get the money from the feet of a messenger sent by two messengers to ask for help from various military towns.

In order to raise military expenses and boost morale, the emperor forced his ministers to donate. As a result, this Jiading Bo only took 3,000 taels of silver out, and he cried out for poverty.

After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Liu Zongmin copied the Zhou family and got millions of taels of silver.

That is, this Jiading Bo, in order to please Emperor Chongzhen, sent Chen Yuanyuan in Qinhuai Bayan to the palace. It's a pity that Emperor Chongzhen didn't pay any attention to women, and later Chen Yuanyuan followed Wu Sangui. After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he was accepted by Liu Zongmin as his own. This is why Wu Sangui was angry at the crown and became a traitor.

Missionaries, especially Jesuit missionaries, were mostly poor. Fifty taels of silver is undoubtedly a lot of money for Garcia. Besides, when ordinary people go out, they just bring a few pieces of broken silver at will, who has nothing to do with fifty taels of silver ingots? It's also uncomfortable to carry on your body.

"Ah......" Garcia was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly that he casually shouted Pablo brothers, and was taken seriously by the other party.

At this time, the playboy-like Pablo jumped up from the ground and smiled at the thugs in stiff and strange Chinese: "Yes, yes, this is my brother, you ask him for money!" ”

After speaking, he shouted at Garcia in Latin, probably saying that I was also forced to do so, you old man take care of it, and carry this black cauldron for me.

Then he turned around and tried to run.

As soon as he turned around, a bright sword was in front of him.

Zhu Ting raised his eyebrows: "What, want to leave?" ”

"My lady, what do you want?" Pablo saw that there was a heroic woman in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up, revealing an expression of self-righteousness, he reached out and brushed his hair, and folded a branch from the plum blossom next to him and offered it: "Thank God, you are the most beautiful young lady I have seen since I came to the Far East." You are like a plum blossom on a branch...... Yes! ”

Before he finished speaking, the donkey beside Sun Yuan punched out and hit him in the face.

Sun Yuan didn't bother to talk nonsense with this Pablo, so he took out the gold from his arms and threw a small piece to the thugs.

He took out another piece and shook it in front of Pablo: "Pablo, do you know how to handle guns?" ”

"Yes." At the sight of gold, the eyes of this Portuguese mercenary lit up.

"I am short of an artillery officer, and I am paid five taels of silver a month. When you encounter a war and another reward, do you do it? ”

Sun Yuan threw the small piece of gold over.

Regardless of the blood on his face, Pablo jumped up nimbly and caught the gold: ", why don't you do it, thank God, I finally found a job." ”

"Thank me, I'm a generous employer, if you're really useful." Sun Yuan: "Now, stand up at once and take me to Sir Wolfe." ”

"You're looking for Sir Wolf." Pablo nodded: "The old knight lives with me, but he is probably not here at this time." ”
