[2] Arrest

The previous climb consumed Yao Fan's great energy, and this trek from the suburbs to the interior of the city made Yao Fan even more tired.

The road is long, the legs are tired, and the leather shoes are almost worn out. The way back to the city was overgrown with weeds, and some crazy grass poles were taller than people, but the only way to find them was nowhere to be.

Yao Fan laughed at himself and scolded the streets along the way, trudging through weeds and thorns, complaining that the world was too unfair.

"When I was in elementary school, I didn't once be a three-bar captain! I never took the first place in middle school! I didn't get the school flower when I was in college! Why should I be crossed! Why should I be possessed by a blood soul! It's not fair! ……”

The trousers were furnished by the thorns, the calves and stomach were pierced very uncomfortable, and the face was accidentally hung out of the blood by the blades of grass, the mouth was already grinning because of fatigue, and the dry blood on the lips was painful...... Yao Fan already believed that he had really come to another time and space at this moment.

Looking at the sun to make sure that his direction was right again, Yao Fan smiled bitterly and continued to walk towards the direction where the old city of Qingdao was located.

Yao Fan walked for about five or six hours, and if it weren't for the volleyball team experience in college, which gave him a good physique, he wouldn't have been able to persevere.

On the way, he passed through several cold-looking villages, but he did not dare to enter. He subconsciously felt that his dress would probably not please the Qing Dynasty peasants in this year.

"My skin is too white, my chrysanthemums are too narrow, and my sexual orientation is too simple, I must not run around in such a dangerous world...... "Yao Fanxu had to solemnly warn himself.

Finally, he saw a walled city from a distance on the high grass, and the walled city emerged from the grass, no matter what kind of analysis was used, the walled city did not look like a film city or a theme park.

"Good boy! I remember that this is the architectural style of the old Jiaozhou city wall in the Qingdao Museum! It seems that the blood soul is telling the truth, I actually really traveled to the Qing Dynasty! Obediently bang...... What should I do?

…… Now that you're here, you're definitely going to have to check it out! Otherwise, if you go back and forth, won't my 2oocc blood be in vain. ”

Yao Fan stood in the grass in a daze, as if he was holding a village temple fair in his brain, full of mess and chaos.

After thinking about it, he still couldn't decide what he should do at this moment, go to the city? Not going into town? This is a problem......

Should I calmly wear this absolutely strange costume for people at this time to enter the city, or should I try to go around the city to find a suitable no-man's land to climb into the city to see?

What's so bad is that Yao Fan only cares about it but doesn't notice the surrounding environment, and not far behind him, two Qing soldiers wearing scribbled on their chests are quietly touching him.

As a jujube stick with the thickness of a forearm slammed firmly on Yao Fan's head, he immediately fell to the ground like an empty sack and lost consciousness, and the money-making plan of the time-lapse master that had just arisen in his mind suddenly disappeared, and the last word he heard in his ears was "...... Caught ......."

Finally waiting for him to wake up, Yao Fan, who opened his eyes and regained consciousness, immediately cried out: "Ahhhhh Who did this! Who actually splashed my head and face with water......"

"Who's in the hall? Why are you sneaking around outside the city and peeking at my Jiaozhou Port. A question interrupted Yao Fan's self-talk.

When Yao Fan heard this question, he shrank his head, raised his head and opened his eyes, looked around with a head of cold water, and came to his senses with a cold sweat.

Yao Fan saw that this was a semi-open hall, sitting on the bluestone paving floor facing south from the north, and there were four wooden pillars supporting the roof on each side of the center of the hall standing high, and the wooden pillars had a hug of thickness to support the roof of the central hall. As for this pillar, it was so simple that it was not even painted with red paint, and it was just pestled in a circular stone trough on the ground, and I don't know if it would soon rot away.

The roof of this central hall is quaint, and the two sides are higher than the roof of the adjacent hall, allowing the sky to shine through the gaps between the high and low sides of the hall, and there are drainage stone passages and ditches on the ground on both sides, which are now dry.

On the walls on both sides of the hall hung some half-red and half-black sticks, as well as some iron chains, shackles, and other unnamed things, which looked black, eerie, and cold. There is a plaque hanging in the center of the lobby, but it is not written with the common "mirror hanging" in film and television dramas, Yao Fan recognized the four big characters on it as 'two sleeves and a breeze', and he inexplicably reacted subconsciously, feeling that this slogan was not too unreliable in the Qing Dynasty.

"Oh no, I was captured by the Qing soldiers!" Yao Fan reacted.

"This place is very shabby, where is it like those richly decorated Qing Dynasty yamen halls on TV, could it be the Qing Dynasty rural police station? …… What should I do now? Jump up and run away? When the blood sacrifice travels back? ”

Others looked like a moment of effort, but Yao Fan's mind had already turned more than a dozen escape thoughts. He made up his mind, and finally made up his mind in an instant.

"Anyway, they're already here, even if they want to kill my head, at least they have to send me to a special execution ground, right? There is a delay on the road, no matter how you say it, it is enough to travel back. ”

Thinking of this, Yao Fan endured the pain from the beating on his head and the swear words that his stomach was full of squirting, sorted out his words, and said to the official in the hall with a big black braid on the back of his head and a goatee on his chin: "I...... His name is Yao Fan, and he came from Western Europe. I would like to ask my lord, why am I, a dignified overseas Chinese from Europe, full of the heart of serving the country with fists, but on the way back to the city, I will be beaten with a stick, and I will be tied up to the yamen to ask for guilt? ”

After talking and thinking about it, Yao Fan himself felt that the words and sentences were very jerky, and he felt that his university had been read into the stomach of a dog.

So after finishing speaking, Yao Fan staggered and tried to stand up, although he was still afraid in his heart, worried that he would suddenly break his leg by the official next to him with a stick, but he still put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.

This is what a modern man should be, he is his own master, a free citizen from the future.

It's just that his hands are tied behind his back and can't be pulled out, but the way he stands with his hands behind him is like declaring that he doesn't belong to this world.

The old man in the hall obviously had never seen such a trick in the hall, he wanted to laugh at Yao Fan, and then threw down a judgment to beat Yao Fan's buttocks. But after thinking about it, he still didn't do it.

He looked at Yao Fan carefully, and thought, "That white skin is not for peasants, this appearance is obviously the gentry class who are used to pampering." The suits, leather shoes, shirts, trousers, and exquisite workmanship are all over the body, and there is obviously a lot of silver piled up in this suit. In this era, there can be such a person dressed as a rare foreign devil, at least he is a second devil...... Well, it's still a decent second devil. ”

He finally came to the conclusion that "that's a must!" He must be a second devil! He wasn't necessarily lying. ”

After this old man made such a judgment, his heart naturally began to be bottomless-this Qing Dynasty is no trivial matter in the ocean.

So the master's tone was obviously kind: "The boy in the hall ...... So, are you an overseas Chinese who returned from the West? Then why is it not in Shanghai and Nanjing, but outside my Qingdao City? According to Bing Yong, you are snooping in strange clothes and must have bad intentions, what is your defense? ”

Yao Fan looked at the soldiers on both sides, and saw that the faces were as long as burnt sweet potato skins - black and yellow ugly, they looked at themselves with curious eyes, some of these black and yellow dwarfs crossed their waists, and some pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife at their waists, as if they could pull out the knife at any time.

Feeling that he had entered the den of the barbarians, Yao Fan's fear became stronger and stronger, and he quickly pulled out the historical materials that he read in his amateur years in the university from his memory, thinking that Qingdao in 1875 had not been ceded to the Germans, and now Qingdao was just a small fishing village called Qingdaokou. Because of the gradual prosperity of port transportation, the Qing government set up a customs branch in this fishing village and sent more than 1,000 troops to garrison, called Jiaozhou Port.

Yao Fan pondered: "I remember that Qingdao has as many as nine customs branches, sub-cards, and agency offices at this time, and there are also offices of various foreign banks here. I remember a famous person once said that even if the general direction of lying is ridiculous, the details must be true. ”

Yao Fan, who understood the truth of this verse, cleared his throat and began to lie cautiously: "Lord Hui, I followed the merchant ship back to China, and this time I came from Shanghai to Shandong to find my ancestors.

My lord, my Chinese wanderer has lived overseas for a long time, and I haven't seen my homeland for many years, so I am really homesick! So I ran to look outside the city. Standing on the cliff outside the city and looking at Jiaozhou Bay, the emotions in my heart are surging, and I feel that my life for more than 20 years is like a dream, which is really emotional! ”

Yao Fan judged that this lie may not be useful for those soldiers who describe ugliness, but it is indeed enough for the official master in the hall who seems to be pampered.

Sure enough, the official asked in confusion: "Looking for ancestors?" ”

"Yes, if you go back to the Qingtian lord, my ancestors are from Tai'an, Shandong, and the whole family went to sea from this Qingdao mouth with the merchant ships that went to the South Seas in the early years of Shunzhi, and drifted all the way to Europe along the South Seas, India, Arabia, Africa, and settled in Europe.

My Yao family built railways, set up factories, built foreign cars, and sold foreign goods in Europe, and lived a very nourishing life. But seeing that this foreigner disregards etiquette, righteousness and shame, and does not know the height of the sky, relying on the fact that I am not familiar with the inside affairs of their flies and dogs, I have traveled thousands of miles to invade our Celestial Empire and blackmail my Qing people and the court. When the family saw this, they were really indignant!

The elders in the family ordered me to return to China, this is to find my ancestors, and the second is to see if there is an opportunity to run some industries, so as to enrich the country and strengthen the people. Even if it is not good, I will also do some trade, so as to play the role of a bridge between China and foreign countries, and give me a good opportunity to buy foreigners cheaply. ”

Yao Fan's nonsense was made up, and his feelings were rich, at least he was moved, and everyone in the hall stood aside and listened, and they also believed his nonsense.

Yao Fan, who entered the play, took a step forward to seduce Shangguan and said: "My lord, if there is someone in your family who is a businessman, or if you have any needs, just look for me." ”

He took a step closer and said with a bright smile: "No matter what Western goods, as long as foreigners have them, I can get them!" It can also be shipped to you locally cheaply! The landing price is less than that of foreign devils! ”

As soon as Yao Fan's seductive and slightly worried about the country and the people came out, the effect was very good.

I don't know which sentence in Yao Fan's words moved this official, as soon as he heard that Yao Fan was a rich foreign businessman, his ancestors had lived abroad for generations, and this time he was going to come back to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, the official's heart suddenly surged with a sense of pride and momentum.

He stared at Yao Fan in a daze, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then ordered Bing Yong to step forward and loosen his ties with him.

"Yao Fan, you come to the hall and speak."

Yao Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, and watched the adult turn around from the hall and walk to the back hall, the green silk official robe was flicked behind his feet like a skirt, and he was surprised in his heart, and said that this official's attitude has become too fast, right? Isn't there fraud in it?

But he thought about it, no matter the old hen with pickles, it was always a good thing that he was willing to loosen my bonds, and it was better to go to the back hall to speak than to be tried in this hall.
