Chapter 347 - The Alba Team (XXXII)

"Buicto! …… Robek! ”

Hongyi was really impatient to wait, so he interrupted Mr. Bekotov, who was staring at him in distraction.

"Master, minion...... The minion Bekto is rude! Please punish the master! Bekotov, who was distracted by himself, was recalled by his two new names, one man and one man, and hurriedly gathered his spirits and got up to confess.

"Hehe, the new name still needs to get used to, just like how to be my personal person, it really takes some time and test." Unexpectedly, Hongyi did not forgive himself for this coating as usual, but said it meaningfully.

"Slave ......" cooperated with the "transaction" between him and Wu Lang Geri just now, Buicto couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster, and cold sweat was already pouring out of his forehead!

"Buicto, I'm here to ask you something, are you willing to tell the truth?" Hongyi stared at Buicto's head and asked word by word.

"Minions willing!" Buicto's heart was already in a mess, but he had to admit it.

"Have you had any personal dealings with Stepanov during his days in prison?"

"Ahh Minion...... The minion has not ......" Buicto's fist-clasped hands have begun to shake involuntarily.

"That's good!" Hongyi breathed a long sigh of relief as if he was relieved.

"Thank you for your trust!" Buicto also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't understand Rakshasa script. Here's a letter, how about you translate it into Manchu for me? Hongyi said as he took out a piece of rice paper from the blanket he was carrying.

"Huh!" Buicto had a premonition that something was wrong and hurriedly took a step forward. Respectfully the result of the letter.

I saw that this was an ordinary piece of official rice paper, and the folded one was also plain. Judging from the appearance alone, it is featureless. But Buicto spread half of his trembling hands a little, and found that the familiar quill handwriting burst out! You don't have to go through any more trouble-

"The minions are wrong! The minions don't dare anymore! Master spare your life! While crying and begging, Buicto was already kneeling on the spot.

"Oh? You don't even believe it, but what's wrong? Hongyi asked knowingly.

"Master, the minion is wrong! This is a secret letter I wrote to Stepanov...... "At this time, Buicto really wants to cut that sanctimonious Wulangri into thousands of pieces and a thousand knives!"

It turned out that this letter was written by Bektor to Stepanov on the instructions of Vulangeli! The main idea is that he has long confessed his crimes in the Amur River valley in accordance with the laws of the Qing Dynasty. He could have been executed by "Ling Chi". As for what Ling Chi is. Buicto took the trouble to describe it in detail in his heart!

At the end of the letter, he hypocritically said:

"Poor Stepanov, I can't help it, after all, we really committed an unforgivable crime. But you have been kind to me. For the sake of our old friendship. I advise you. It is better to cut off oneself as soon as possible, so as not to suffer the last and most painful punishment in life. May you have eternal life in Heaven, and I will pray for you before the Father, Mary and Son......"

Hongyi also just got this letter. Along with this letter in Russian was presented to him a fully translated Manchu copy. The person who sent the mail happened to be that Wu Langri!

It turned out that this Wu Langri was not as calm as he seemed on the surface, accepting Bekotov's promotion! It's been seven years since I entered China, and I have no credit and hard work, but I lost to a novice who came over with a hundred and ten people for no reason! He couldn't swallow that breath.

But in the past few years, the fine clothes and food have not been in vain, and he came up with a good plan to kill two birds with one stone - to encourage Bekotov to take the initiative to "step up" and repair a letter to force Stepanov to death! He knew in his heart that Stepanov seemed to be very fond of the current hot young master Xuan Ye, but he didn't want him to die in vain.

If Bekotov foolishly tried to do this, he would have been killed immediately! According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, forcing the court to kill criminals will be killed! In this way, he has made a great contribution, and the "Alba Niulu" that has just been formed is just in charge of his own five products!

So, after succeeding a few days earlier, Wu Lang Gri carefully translated Bekotov's Russian into Manchu, and hurriedly sent it to the concierge of the Imperial Servants' Bureau, leaving his name, and happily went back to wait for the good news.

Hongyi's face was cold at this time, looking at Buicto who was kneeling on the ground, and he didn't speak for a while. This can make "Alba Niu Lu Zhangjing" worse than dead!

"Alasβ€”get up!" Hongyi said helplessly.

"The slave doesn't dare, please spare your life!"

"To tell you the truth, I heard your few words of spare, so I won't punish you, don't worry, get up and speak." Hongyi's tone was indeed as if he had forgiven Buicto.

"Master Xie......" Buicto looked up at Hongyi's expression in disbelief, and after making sure that it was not a counter-argument, he stood up tremblingly.

"Bekto, you have not been in China for a long time, and you are not as good at deceiving me as others, which is a good thing. However, you also need to familiarize yourself with the ways of officialdom as soon as possible. It's one thing to do it or not, it's another thing to know it. ”

"Got it!" At this time, in addition to his gratitude to the master, Buicto hated the old man Wu Lang Geri.

"Do you want to get revenge on Woolangri?" Hongyi saw the clue in Buicto's eyes and asked.

"Master, the slave is going to duel with him, according to the rules of our hometown......" Buicto said truthfully, furious.

"According to the rules of your hometown, sign the life and death certificate, and then draw your respective dueling swords[1]? I'm sure you're not going to get around his life, are you? Will he definitely choose to let him die of serious injuries, or even die on the spot? Hongyi grabbed the white road.

"Yes!"

At this time, Buicto was more like a medieval knight whose reputation and wisdom had been subjected to gratuitous insults, and he forgot his identity as a "coat", and his answer was concise and to the point.

"Bektor, I appreciate your courage, especially when you use it to defend honor!" Hongyi suddenly and unexpectedly encouraged him, which made Buicto think that the master was encouraging him to do so, and hurriedly replied:

"Please rest assured, master, I will throw the gloves in his face myself, and then I will never let him live in this world vilely!"

Hongyi smiled with satisfaction, because Buicto's bloody nature still exists!

As for the "glove", Buicto used a European method of taking an oath in duels. If one party feels insulted, he will challenge the other by making insulting gestures, most notably by throwing gloves in front of the other party. The English idiom "throwing-down-the-gauntlet" means to take on a challenge.

This practice is derived from the medieval custom: when a knight is conferred, he is slapped ceremoniously, just like in many European and American blockbusters, the elder suddenly gives a gentle slap in the face of the young man who has been rewarded, in fact, his original meaning is to say: this is the last time you are "offended and not retaliated tenfold".

Therefore, the person who has been slapped with a glove will either accept the challenge or admit the humiliation. However, contrary to what many people think, slapping your face with a glove is not a challenge. After the challenge, each side appoints a "deputy" who decides on the "place of glory" that no one will disturb. Duels are generally fought at dawn and are also intended to avoid disturbances. The deputy is also responsible for checking that the weapons of the two sides are roughly equal and proving the fairness of the duel.

There are several ways to terminate a duel, chosen by the challenger: the duel is terminated whenever one side is injured – even if it is a minor injury; The duel is terminated when one of the parties is seriously injured and is unable to continue the duel; After one side was mortally wounded, the duel ended. But duels are often canceled because it is impossible to agree on a method of dueling.

"But have you thought about it, you are now in my Daqing! The laws of the Qing Dynasty clearly stated: private fights are prohibited, otherwise they will be severely punished! Besides, you are all officials of the imperial court now, and if you spread the word, won't it spoil my great affairs? Hongyi sighed at this time.

"Big deal? The master's big deal? Only then did Bekto realize that he was too self-righteous, and hurriedly lowered his head, turned back into a deferential minion, and asked cautiously: "What is the master's big deal?" ”

"You Rakshasas should not kill each other, but unite as one and be good Alba!" Hongyi stared into Buicto's eyes with a look of anticipation.

"A limerick poem. Hidden Head

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

The layout is a long-cherished wish

It's hard to come and go

Get up and spend a hundred years

Point out the suffering and diseases of the world

The edge of the town was razed to the sea

Wen'an Wuding tears of joy

[1] In the 17th and early 18th centuries, duels were mostly fought with swords, and from the late 18th century onwards, duels were more commonly fought with pistols from the rise of England, and sword and pistol duels coexisted throughout the 19th century. (To be continued......)
