Chapter 264: Change

It was also the first time that Shengshi took over the task of supervising foreign businessmen. Prior to this, Pan Guan had already detailed the details of the prosperous era, including: Yi merchants were not allowed to carry more than five people, and all murderous firearms were not allowed to be carried to the province. The front and rear 'doors' should be guarded by reliable people, locked at night, and foreign businessmen should not be allowed to go out to wander outside, and if foreign businessmen must travel for buying and selling goods, the general affairs and merchants must also accompany them in person.

Hearing Qin Tian's secret speech, dare to love foreign businessmen who come to Daqi to do business without personal freedom at all? Compared with the treatment of foreign businessmen in China in his previous life, Qin Tian was full of emotion for a while.

Seeing Qin Tian's face full of surprise, how could Pan Guan not understand what she meant, and said with a smile: "Qin Dangjia doesn't know, in the past, there were foreign 'spies' and 'mixes' among these foreign businessmen who took the opportunity to spy on our country's fiction and reality, and the imperial court had no choice but to do it. ”

"I see." Qin Tian said with a smile.

"There is no need to be too nervous about the Qin Dangjia, after all, the 'treacherous' is only a very rare case, most of them are legitimate businessmen with rules, as long as the Qin Dangjia sends someone to take care of Gilson in the past few days, nothing will happen." Pan Guan thought for a while, and then said: "That's it, you Shengshi still have little experience in this area, and I will lend you a few more experienced people." I can't think of anything wrong with it."

This business Pan Guan is the master, and the prosperous world is the second, in case something goes wrong in the hands of the prosperous world, he can't get out of it.

Hearing him say this, Qin Tian was overjoyed and thanked Pan Guan.

"Since the opening of customs, have any mistakes have been made by these foreign businessmen?" Qin Tian asked.

Pan Guan's face darkened, and he sighed long: "Three years ago, a foreign businessman under the care of a merchant slipped out of Yiguan and 'traded' with a retail merchant outside, but was caught red-handed. The foreign merchant was only sent out of the Great Apocalypse and could never come back again, and the merchant was confiscated of all his property, and then the merchant died of depression."

"The rules of the imperial court are so strict, and the slightest disappointment is the end of the family's 'bankruptcy', even if this is the case, why do so many businessmen still want to obtain business qualifications even after sharpening their heads?"

Pan Guan smiled: "Qin Dangjia has seen the danger of businessmen, but more people only see the huge profits of being merchants, people die for money, birds die for food, how many people in this world can really see through fame and fortune?" ”

Qin Tian nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for the mention of Officer Pan." ”

"Mention two words, Pan doesn't dare to be," Pan Guan smiled: "There are not many people Pan Mou admires in his life, but the talent and character of the virtuous couple make Pan have to write a word."

"Pan Guan has won the award." Qin Tian said with a smile.

After receiving Pan Guan's advice, Qin Tian was more cautious about supervision.

Moreover, she always felt that this trip to Suizhou always revealed a kind of weirdness, and she couldn't say anything wrong, which made her feel at ease. Especially the sudden abdominal pain last time, she felt that this matter was not simple. She was pretty sure she hadn't eaten colicis or leeks before the show, so how did she get poisoned?

She specially found a doctor and asked about the "medicine" and "sex" of this colic, and knew that if this colicin was "mixed" with tea, the "medicine" and "sex" would attack quickly.

Qin Tian couldn't help but think of the cup of tea she drank in the middle of the performance. Could it be that someone is doing something in it? The tea was prepared by Aoyagi, and Aoyagi did not doubt that someone took the opportunity to do something when she was talking to the guests, but at that time there were foreign businessmen, merchants, translators, and their hand-held servants, and it was not easy to find out who was doing the tricks.

However, if she wants to ruin her performance, it should be the opponent who competes for the first place in the general merchant this time, either Yang Guan or Zhuang Mingxi. Of the two, her suspicion was more inclined to Zhuang Mingxi.

This 'woman', as long as there is no place where she is clean, it seems that her decision to try to help Pan Guan win the first place in the general merchant is correct. When she finishes her work, she still wants this place of right and wrong in the courtyard, Zhuang Mingxi is not afraid of her, but Nicholas Tse ......

There are so many headaches, but you still have to do it well.

She asked Haifu to take people to guard the Yi Pavilion. and sent men to guard the 'gate' of Gilson. At night, both the room door and the big door will be locked. If Gilson had to travel, he would be followed by Haifu and his people, called protection, but in fact surveillance. Fortunately, foreign businessmen seem to be accustomed to these actions of Daqi, so Gilson did not complain, on the contrary, he cooperated with all of Haifu's actions.

Two days passed quietly, on this day, when Haifu and Gilson were traveling, Gilson was almost hit by a carriage because of accident, but fortunately Haifu rescued him in time, but because of saving him, Haifu injured his 'leg', and it was difficult to continue the work of the overseer, so he had to go home to recuperate.

Qin Tian had no choice but to send someone else to take Haifu's place. At first, Qin Tian was a little relieved, but in the next two days, Gilson was still very cooperative, and when he saw Qin Tian, he also asked about Haifu's injury with concern. Slowly, Qin Tian also settled down.

Seeing that the 'trade' with Gilson was about to end, Shengshi could send the foreign businessman away safely and end the business perfectly, but unexpectedly, something happened.

This turn of events came so suddenly.

It was the middle of the night when the incident happened, Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan were still asleep, Qin Tian was suddenly awakened by a noise, Qin Tian got up from the 'bed' and saw someone in the courtyard lighting a lantern.

Qin Tian was surprised, and asked angrily, "Who is in the courtyard?" ”

Lotus 'Flower' replied outside the 'door': "'Milk' and 'milk' are slaves. "The lotus 'flower' is a maid that I bought after coming to Suizhou.

"What's going on out there, why is it so noisy?"

While speaking, Qin Tian put on his clothes, and at this time, Zhuang Xinyan was also awakened by his movements, he watched Qin Tian get out of the 'bed', lit the lamp, and then asked, "What's wrong." ”

Qin Tian shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Outside the 'door', the lotus 'flower' replied: "The slave doesn't know, but Sister Aoyagi went out to check...... Oops, Sister Aoyagi is back......"

As soon as the words of Lotus 'Flower' fell, Qingliu had a panicked voice: "Big * 'milk', it's not good, the officers and soldiers have surrounded our Zhuang Mansion, and Deputy Envoy Liu is now waiting in the hall, saying that he wants to invite the eldest young 'milk' and 'milk' and the eldest young master to go out." ”

Deputy Envoy Liu? Qin Tian was secretly shocked in her heart, because she knew that this Deputy Envoy Liu was a military attache directly under Nicholas Tse, what did Nicholas Tse want to do?

Qin Tian was shocked and angry, "You go out first and greet Master Liu, and the eldest young master and I will go out immediately." ”

"Yes," Aoyagi replied.

After Aoyagi left, Qin Tian first told Zhuang Xinyan about the general situation, Zhuang Xinyan frowned, and after the two of them got dressed, they went to the hall together.

The hall was brightly lit, more than a dozen officers and soldiers stood around, and Deputy Envoy Liu stood in the center of the hall with a gloomy face, wearing shiny armor and carrying a large knife hanging from his waist. His large, knuckle-knuckled hands rested on the dark handles of his knives.

The power 'forced' people.

Outside the courtyard, there were more than a dozen officers and soldiers armed with torches. The fierce fire shone the courtyard like day.

Seeing this posture, Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan glanced at each other, and their hearts were not good.

Seeing them come in, Deputy Envoy Liu didn't say a word, waved his big hand, and shouted: "Take Qin Tian, the principal of the prosperous world, away."

As soon as the words fell, two officers and soldiers immediately came out in response, holding Qin Tian left and right.

Where did Zhuang Xinyan see that Qin Tian was being bullied, he flashed out at the moment, and used two palms in a row to 'force' the two officers and soldiers to retreat, protecting Qin Tian behind him.

Deputy Envoy Liu pointed at Qin Tian and the two of them with angry eyes, "Master Qin, you are against the government, and the crime will be added to the first degree."

The rest of the officers and soldiers saw that Zhuang Nobuhiko was brave, and they all pulled out the big swords on their waists with a "whoosh".

The hall was tense, and the atmosphere was like a taut string. But Zhuang Xinyan was not afraid of the slightest 'color', his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he swept over the faces of all the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to step forward for a while.

Qin Tian didn't want to make a big deal out of it, she walked out from behind Zhuang Xinyan, looked at Deputy Envoy Liu and said, "Lord Liu, you have to give me an explanation for what you want to arrest me for."

Deputy Envoy Liu crossed his hands on his hips: "Is Gilson a guest of your prosperous world?" ”

Qin Tian thought that Nicholas Tse was deliberately making things difficult, but he didn't expect that the matter would involve Gilson.

Next to him, Zhuang Xinyan's face changed slightly.

"Yes, my lord, Gilson is our guest in the prime of life, is it what happened to him?" Qin Tian asked.

Deputy Envoy Liu sneered twice: "How do you supervise?" Do you know that tonight when it was ugly, Gilson slipped out of the Yi Pavilion, with bad intentions, and was discovered by our patrol soldiers on the spot, and during the fight, Gilson killed one of our officers and soldiers, Qin Dangjia, and now we suspect that Sheng Shi is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and now we are just taking you back for questioning, you had better be captured, otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless."

"Tong ...... collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country" Qin Tian immediately broke out in a cold sweat, this is the crime of punishing the nine clans

The blood on Zhuang Xinyan's face on the side also faded in an instant, and he turned his head to look at Qin Tian, only to feel that his ten fingers were cold.

"Take Qin Dangjia down," Deputy Envoy Liu shouted.

Qin Tian was stunned, she hadn't recovered from the shock of "collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country", and when the officers and soldiers came to pull her, she didn't react.

But at this moment, Zhuang Xinyan suddenly spoke: "I am the principal of the prosperous world, and I will be arrested if you want to."

"Everyone knows that your wife is in charge of the prosperous world, not you," Deputy Envoy Liu looked at Zhuang Xinyan and said in a deep voice.

"Xinyan, don't say anything......" Qin Tian hurriedly stopped, if Zhuang Xinyan fell into prison, he didn't know how he would be treated. How could she rest assured?

Zhuang Xinyan ignored her and continued to say to Deputy Envoy Liu: "My wife is only in charge of the tea business, and I have always been in charge of the overseer's affairs, and adults should come to me if they want to ask questions."

Zhuang Xinyan looked straight at Deputy Envoy Liu, and said coldly: "Our prosperous world is a merchant appointed by the imperial court, and everything is better according to the rules."

Because it was related to Qin Tian's safety, Zhuang Xinyan spoke very carefully today, although some of the words were still a little vague, but Deputy Envoy Liu still understood it in the end.

"Xinyan, don't talk nonsense......" Before Qin Tian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhuang Xinyan, he looked at Qin Tian and said calmly: "You don't have to say anything, it's me who supervises Gilson, not you" As he spoke, he clenched Qin Tian's hand, and there was a kind of eager gaze in his eyes. As if begging her not to say any more.

Qin Tian didn't know what to do for a while.

Deputy Envoy Liu looked at Zhuang Xinyan quietly for a while, and then ordered: "Take him away." ”

The officers and soldiers rushed up, tied Zhuang Xinyan's hands, and walked out with him in his hands, and Qin Tianda hurriedly chased behind.

The officers and soldiers who fell last pushed her impatiently, Qin Tian fell to the ground, and watched Zhuang Xinyan being taken away by the officers and soldiers, no matter how she called, she didn't look back.

"Big * 'milk', big * 'milk'." Aoyagi rushed over to help Qin Tian, Qin Tian took Aoyagi's hand, and tears jumped out of his eyes: "How could this happen?" ”

Aoyagi cried and said: "Da Shao's 'milk' and 'milk', you have to cheer up, now the only one who can save the eldest young master is Da Shao's 'milk' and 'milk'"

Qin Tian woke up suddenly, she wiped the tears from her face, and looked at the vast dark night ahead with wide eyes: "Yes, now is not the time to cry, I still have to save Nobuhiko......"

"Aoyagi, order someone to give the car, I'm going to the Governor's Palace"

Popular science: My background in 'trading' with foreign businessmen is based on the 13 lines of Guangzhou. The following is the information from Baidu.

The Qing government imposed strict restrictions on the activities of foreigners in Guangzhou. In the 24th year of Qianlong, the governor of Liangguang, Li 'Shi' Yao, decided: "After that, the merchants of Yi went to Guangdong, and ordered the merchants to bring the goods of Yi and others, sell them quickly, return them to the original, and order them to purchase the goods, and return to China with the original ship according to the limit." At that time, because it was difficult to sell the foreign goods for a while, and the original could not be collected, the merchant had no choice but to keep the eastern part of Guangdong, and the merchant also went to live in Macao, and the goods were 'handed over' to the merchant to sell them on his behalf, and the price of the silver was returned, and the foreign ship of the country was ordered to return to the country in the next year." "When the people go to Guangdong, they must be ordered to live in the museums of the current merchants, and let them choose to live. If the premises of the bank are insufficient, the bank is also instructed to lease the premises on its own and assign someone to guard it. Yi merchants are not allowed to carry more than five people, and all murder weapons and firearms are not allowed to be carried to the province. instruct the merchants, the general affairs. Be diligent and disciplined, and do not allow Han 'traitors' to enter and leave the Yi Pavilion, and make 'friends' yin*. That is, when buying and selling goods, it must also be handled by the merchant before 'trading'. The front and back of the 'door', the line of honesty is to step up the guard, in case of night locks, do not let the people and so on go out, such as the Yi merchant has to buy and sell goods and other things must travel, the general, the merchant will also personally accompany the line. If (businessmen and generals) dare to indulge in going in and out, breed trouble, and commit 'adultery' crimes, they will be reprimanded according to the severity of the case" (1)
