Wang Zhen felt that he was going crazy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The light on his face was hot and bright, tormenting his eyes, and he couldn't reach out to block the light, two pairs of handcuffs locked his hands firmly in the chair. And it is completely impossible to turn his head to avoid the light, because the foreigner "official" next to him has been paying attention to him and correcting his posture at any time.

So he had no choice but to continue to endure this torture.

What made his anguish even more intense was that Wang Zhen didn't even know why he was arrested -- he had just arrived in the United States by boat and was sent to a detention center by the Los Angeles immigration department, and after being held for more than 10 days, he was taken to the interrogation room where he is now by the police -- he had no idea which law he had violated and how he would be treated in this way.

In fact, this is what the USCIS often does, and after the enactment of the Chinese Exclusion Act, Chinese who went to the United States were often sent directly to detention centers by the USCIS, and some were even detained for a year or even two years. There is no doubt that Wang Zhen belongs to the unlucky category of Chinese.

But one thing he knew very well was that the argument was useless, because the foreigner could not understand what he was saying.

Wang Zhen can only blame himself. Why should you listen to other people's rumors and travel to a strange country with a language barrier to find a chance to make a fortune at the cost of a hundred taels of silver? While regret is as meaningless as a plea, he is always thinking about what would have happened if he had chosen to stay in China then......

The door to the interrogation room suddenly opened, and two men walked in. One of them reached out and turned off the lamp on the table.

The sudden disappearance of the light made Wang Zhen's eyes very uncomfortable. It took him some time to adjust to the dimming light, and he heard two men talking in foreign language—one of them he felt in tone that one was reproaching the other. Then, the rebuke shouted something, and two foreigners stepped forward, took out the key, and opened the handcuffs.

Then they left the interrogation room together.

This made Wang Zhen feel both confused and scared, and he didn't know what would happen next. Interrogate? It's possible. During his detention and forced to sit in a chair illuminated by a dazzling light, no one ever questioned him or even spoke to him. Now it looks like that could change.

However, it was also something that scared him. He had seen the scene of the imperial court interrogating prisoners, and the foreigners' official mansions probably wouldn't make much difference. Although he can avoid punishment by acting honestly, he can't understand the words of foreigners, and foreigners must not understand Chinese, so ......

He soon realized that his worries were unnecessary.

"Take your stuff and come with me." It's Cantonese. Although the level is very poor, and Wang Zhen can't speak Cantonese, at least he can still understand.

He was surprised and glad that since the foreign man on the other side knew Chinese, he could defend himself. "This adult, villain—"

An impatient urge interrupted him. "Don't talk, take your things, and come with me."

Wang Zhen didn't act, he was already completely surprised: he seemed to speak a bit like Beijing Mandarin, but he didn't have the flavor of Beijing films at all...... He suddenly realized that the interrogator was not actually a real foreigner, but a Chinese...... No, it should be two devils.

Absolutely, yes! After a while, Wang Zhen affirmed his judgment. Although he can't see his appearance clearly at all, he is undoubtedly a second devil.

A nasty traitor, lackey, scum......

Yi Shui didn't know that the poor guy sitting in front of him had seen him as a second devil, but he was still annoyed. Time! He didn't have time to waste here. He had to return to San Diego by noon. The Devil's Island base is still waiting for supplies from the Agile!

"Hurry up and come with me!" He urged again.

At this time, Wang Zhen just figured out the second key question: no matter how annoying a second devil is, now he is also the only object he can rely on, otherwise, he will stay in the prison of foreigners for a long time.

So he changed his flattering tone. "This big brother, can you-"

Mistake! "You're talking too much nonsense, hurry up and follow me!" Yi Shui's unhappiness increased a little more. "Have you already liked this place?"

"No, no." No one would like prison, so Wang Zhen quickly stood up, ran to the house in the room, picked up a small baggage - now his only possession - and followed Yi Shui out of the interrogation room.

Yi Shui walked so fast that Wang Zhen had to trot all the way to keep up with him. But he often slows down, and the noisy scenes in the police station and the ubiquitous foreigners always distract him. However, as long as a police officer or a prisoner sets their eyes on him, Wang Zhen's pace will involuntarily speed up.

Only this situation did not last long, the police station was not large, and it was not long before they walked out of the gate and stood in front of a carriage.

"Get in the car." Yi Shui said in an almost commanding tone, and then got into the carriage. Wang Zhen hesitated for a while, and finally followed in. The coachman came and closed the door, and the carriage departed.

At first, there was silence in the carriage. But soon, Wang Zhen asked, "This big brother, where are we going?" He wanted to know, but his attention quickly shifted to another place. You...... You cut off your braids! ”

Yi Shui didn't even have braids! He could barely believe his eyes.

"Surprised? Last year, someone tied me to a chair and had someone shave my head. It was hard to get used to at first, but then it didn't matter. Yi Shui replied nonchalantly. Also, my name is Yi Shui, you can call me by my first name. ”

"Brother Yi," after thinking about it for a few seconds, he still didn't call Yi Shui's name directly, Wang Zhen thought that he should be more close to him, "You are not afraid of ......"

"This is the United States, and the court can't control me." Yi Shui shrugged his shoulders and then asked, "By the way, what's your name?" ”

"In Xia Wang Zhen, a native of Zhenjiang, Jiangsu." Wang Zhen clasped his fists and saluted. In fact, he wanted to stand up, but the space in the carriage didn't allow him to do so.

"Zhenjiang? But how do you speak Beijing? "It's extremely non-standard and it's accented.

"I did business in Beijing for a few years, and then I lost money, so I thought about going to the West to make a fortune." Wang Zhen replied with some embarrassment, not knowing if it was because of his identity or because of his failure experience.

But Yi Shui is more concerned about his identity. "You're a merchant?" He happily said, "It was really an unexpected surprise." ”

Wang Zhen was confused by him. Unexpected surprise, what does this mean?

"Nothing, except that our company is ready to do business in China and needs an agent who knows how to deal with government officials and has business experience. Although I would love to take on this task, but," Yi Shui smiled, "I don't have braids, so in order to avoid causing trouble, I have to find another person." ”

"So you found me?"

"No, it was pure accident, or rather, I was lucky. Before you tell you what you do, I didn't expect to meet a businessman at the police station. In fact, when Rachel decided to pick a salesman from among the Chinese, she didn't expect to find a businessman at all.

After a while, he added, "That's why I say it was an unexpected surprise." ”

"Then why did you save me?" Wang Zhen was even more confused. He had no acquaintances in the United States, and no one would notify anyone to come to prison to save him......

"My boss has an agreement with the governor of California that Chinese detained by immigration and police will come to work for our company. So I'm here today, and I'm really just bringing you back to the company. By the way, of course" - Yi Shui smiled more obviously - "We also pick the agent we need from among these people. ”

"You mean, even if I'm not a businessman, your ...... company, or will it keep me? "Will there be such a good thing? How easy it was to get a job without even having to do something on your own?

But Wang Zhen was completely wrong.

"If you're not the agent we need, the company will send you to the desert in Nevada to dig for sand." "You realize that you should actually stay in China." ”

"Huh?"

"Don't be surprised. Chinese are not welcome in the United States, which is why you will be put in jail for doing nothing. He used a long pause to emphasize the seriousness of the problem, "And your luck is not too bad, in some other places, sometimes there are cases of Americans killing Chinese." ”

Wang Zhen was completely frightened, "Murder? Isn't there a royal law here? ”

"The law? The law only protects Americans, especially white Americans, and if you are neither white nor American, do you expect a law to protect you? Yi Shui looked at him mockingly, "And the United States enacted the Chinese Exclusion Act a few years ago, which guarantees the legality of white attacks on Chinese in the form of law." ”

Of course, he exaggerated something, but it didn't hurt, although Wang Zhen still found it difficult to accept. "But why do people tell me that if you get here, you can get rich?"

"Quite simply, there is only one answer to your question: you have been fooled."

After being silent for a while, Wang Zhen suddenly burst into anger. "If I had to find that liar, I'd have skinned him!"
