Chapter 10: Robbery

(The contract was sent yesterday, please collect, ask for recommendations, ask for attention, ask for comments!) )

In the bridge command room, Wilson reported to Henry the latest developments: "After Dr. Donne's examination, Armand suffered a fracture in his left arm, which could not be restored, and it was recommended that he be dismissed after landing." Charles suffered a severe concussion, was unconscious, and had limited conditions to determine whether the brain had been damaged, and the estimate was not optimistic. Alphonse suffered a severe concussion, a fractured nose bridge, and a broken nasal bone pierced into the cranial nerve, I'm afraid ......"

I'm afraid of something, Wilson didn't say. Henry understood what Wilson meant, and Alphonse was afraid that he would not be able to do it.

"One against six, one dead, two seriously wounded, three captured, that Far Eastern overlord is so interested?" For Qin Zhiyuan's combat effectiveness, Henry felt unbelievable.

"I doubt it, too, but that's exactly what it is." Wilson shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, the classic body language of Westerners.

"Go and get back those three stupid pigs who didn't die, we've lost three sailors, we can't lose more, or we'll never get to Marseille." As a captain, Henry was used to death. Also as a captain, Henry didn't want to lose more people.

As a steam-powered cruise ship, the Victory News has only more than 80 sailors on board, and the problem of missing three is not serious, but it is not good to have six less, and the schedule cannot be scheduled.

"Okay, as you wish." Wilson turned and left.

……

Restaurant.

Qin Zhiyuan sat on a Taishi chair that he didn't know where he had found it, and held a trial to question the three attackers.

"Name, age, place of origin." Qin Zhiyuan's righteousness was full of awe, plus Huang Fugui, who was lying on a small table next to him and writing hard, and dozens of big men around him, he was much more majestic than the county lord.

The three sailors had already been tied up, and they had just eaten a full meal of old fists, and they were kneeling on the floor with blue noses and swollen faces, and their mouths were still cursing.

"."

"Slut."

"Yellow-skinned monkey."

"Remember, these three people are called bitch, slut, and yellow-skinned monkey." Qin Zhiyuan repeated it in Chinese.

"Wahaha......"

"This foreign devil's name is so strange!"

The onlookers all learned a lot of French, especially the swearing, and the angry scolding of the three sailors was heard in everyone's ears, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation, eager to pounce on the old fist. Unexpectedly, Qin Zhiyuan gave a divine turn, which immediately aroused everyone's laughter.

Chen Kangjian is already famous for the sentence "just look and don't touch", which will make some people take the opportunity to coax: "Lao Chen, come here, your son is here." ”

"Damn, that's your son. If Lao Tzu's son looks like this, Lao Tzu will have to stuff him back into his mother's belly and do it all over again. Chen Kangjian was not ashamed, and he was proud of it.

"Stinky."

"Bastard."

"Stupid pig."

Although the three couldn't understand what the audience was saying, they could still understand the various vicious ridicule and sarcastic and contemptuous eyes of the audience.

As foreigners, they have always been accustomed to being arrogant in front of the Chinese, where have they been angry? Not to mention that it's like an animal in a zoo and being watched, so the scolding is even crazier.

"Shut them up." Although it is not lethal, being scolded is not something worth writing about, so Qin Zhiyuan simply ordered the mouths of the three to be plugged in order to be quiet.

"Say, who instructed you to attack Lao Tzu?" Now that the mouths of the three have been blocked, Qin Zhiyuan simply started the interrogation in Chinese.

"Hmm......" The three struggled frantically on the ground, but unfortunately it was a big man like Chen Kangjian who held them down, and for Chen Kangjian's physique, the physique of the three was really not enough.

People's mouths are blocked, what else is there to judge?

The audience now understood that Qin Zhiyuan was not an interrogation at all, this was deliberately humiliating these foreigners in the name of interrogation.

This behavior is very necessary, since the Opium War, foreigners have been riding on the heads of the countrymen as a prestige, to the Republic of China, the people of the country saw that the foreigners were born three points shorter. In this case, it is very important to rebuild the self-esteem of the workers and improve the self-confidence of the workers, which is related to whether the workers from China can treat foreigners equally in the years that will follow.

During World War I, China sent laborers to Europe, and this was the first time that Chinese appeared in front of the European people as helpers. In Qin Zhiyuan's view, even if the Chinese workers do not have the excellent qualities such as "self-confidence" and "modesty" of the Chinese people in later generations because of the limitations of the times, at least they can't bow their heads when they see foreigners, and they dare not speak up when they are bullied.

From this point of view, Qin Zhiyuan can be regarded as well-intentioned.

Just as everyone was watching and laughing at the three foreigners, the first mate Wilson hurried over: "Hey, you can't do this, you have violated their human rights like this, you can't restrict their personal rights." ”

Wilson is right, in the West, even if an ordinary person discovers a criminal, the ordinary person has no right to arrest him, but can only report it to the police, and then the police will deal with it.

"I don't want to do that either, but I'm not sure if they're going to continue to commit criminal acts that would endanger my personal safety, so I'm just doing it as a precaution." Qin Zhiyuan was not sure whether there were any provisions in French law at this time, so he would take advantage of the reason first.

"Well, leave them to me, and I'll promise not to happen again." The key is to get the people away first, and then talk about it later, Wilson has a clear division of priorities.

"Mr. Captain said the same thing the other day, but he didn't do it." But it can't be any longer, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to just forget it.

"And what do you want?" There were too many laborers on board, and Wilson had a lot of headaches, and he had never had the experience to deal with such a situation.

"I want to get a certain amount of compensation as punishment for their attack on me. It is better to warn others that if they make mistakes, they must pay the price. "Whether it is an East or a West, "fines" are an effective means of punishment.

"Yes, their private property is now yours and you can exercise your power." As a sailor, Wilson knew how sailors solve problems.

If both parties are Chinese, it may be embarrassing to mention "money". But for Westerners, this is the best solution. Of course, the "embarrassment" of the Chinese is only limited to before the change.

After a while, a sailor brought the personal belongings of the three, perhaps because the cash had been exchanged for goods, only more than 200 francs, two large bags of tea, a large number of plates and bowls, a dozen precious stones, more than twenty gold and silver objects, four daggers, two revolvers, and an American-made M1911 pistol.

This pile of things, if converted into francs, is about 5,000.

It's really a rich man, no wonder so many people are pirates.

This pile of things dazzled the eyes of the laborers and stunned Huang Fugui's heart. I have always heard that Chinese people pay foreigners' money, when have you ever seen foreigners pay Chinese?

Not long after Wilson left with the three, a sailor came to Qin Zhiyuan: "No. 10086, Mr. Captain, please come over." ”

Henry? What is he looking for me?

Qin Zhiyuan was confused.
