Because Aja. With the various descriptions of the ancient privates, Zhang Longchu gradually became interested in the land he inherited from the Shachongba family, and decided to see the actual situation of that valley basin with his own eyes.
So he rested for a day, and the next morning, he took the two security guards he hired to guard the manor as a chauffeur and a follower, and set off for the Mebizzy Mountains.
Along the way, they first spent more than 100 kilometers per hour speeding on a flat road for more than 100 hours;
This was followed by a stretch of country dirt roads that stretched for hundreds of kilometers;
Finally, a steep mountain road that can only accommodate two cars side by side circles several peaks, and finally comes to a vast low-lying fertile land.
At this time, it was dawn, through the car window, looking at the rocky mountains behind him, and then at the countless rubber forests and various fruit trees arranged neatly in front of him, with dew drops on the leaves, Zhang Longchu asked Ajia who was sitting next to him in surprise: "Aja is in charge, is this the land I inherited from the Shachongba family?" ”
"Yes, Lord Ryuchu," Aja. Gu Zhilai replied in a strange tone: "The valley of the Sachong Bajia is located between the barren Mount Aypon and the abundant Mabiqi Mountains, and although it is only between 10 and 15 kilometers wide, it is 280 kilometers long, taking the shape of a half-moon, and because the two ends are close to the sea, it is equivalent to completely separating the Mabiqi Mountains from the rest of Kalimantan.
In fact, the Sarawak royal family did not have any good intentions in separating their powerful branch of the Sachong Ba family in this kind of place, but the ancestors of the Sachong Ba family were wise. ignored the fiefdom at all, so as not to excessively consume the strength of the family.
Later, Sarawak joined the Federated States of Malaysia. After becoming a nominal democracy, the Dato's territory became owned land. This land is even more..."
Seeing that Aja was already unscrupulous when he spoke because of his heart-to-heart relationship, Zhang Longchu didn't want him to take the topic too far, so he interjected: "It turns out that this land evolved from the territory of the Shachong Ba family, no wonder the area is so large."
By the way, I searched for information on the Maibiqi Mountains on the Internet, and found that the entire Maibiqi Mountains originally covered an area of about 15,000 square kilometers, and now it is also known as the Mabiqi Self-made City in Sarawak, Malay Federation, and is also subdivided into 3 self-made counties in Shannan, Shanzhong, and Shanbei. The total population is about 600,000, and the scenery is very good from the pictures on the Internet, which is exactly what a normal mountain town looks like..."
Hearing Zhang Longchu's impression of the Maibiqi Mountains from the Internet, Aja interrupted him with a sneer, "My lord, the mountain people of Maibiqi are different from the religious extremists in the Apudawang Mountains, they have no faith at all, and they are completely uncivilized barbarians in their bones.
A few years ago, there were foreign backpackers climbing and exploring, and the men were eaten by the mountain people. The news of the rape of a woman happened, but later the news was suppressed by politicians and did not spread out. ”
"Cannibals..."Zhang Longchu said with wide eyes and some disbelief, at this time the car had already driven down the rocky mountains. Along the rubber forest, you come to a small village made entirely of wood.
Most of the inhabitants of the village are dressed in tatters and have dark skin. The body is thin and thin, and at first glance, you can see that life is quite difficult. But their eyes were on Zhang Longchu, who was sitting in a luxury car and wearing decent and slim casual clothes. When he was obviously a person of status, he was completely different from the gentle and respectful eyes of the farmers and tenants outside Kuching, and he unabashedly revealed a greed and longing.
Although no one really blocked the car, many villagers held the rubber tapping ****** hanging from their waists in their hands and whispered about it.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Longchu couldn't help frowning, and said softly: "Aja Steward, I understand the meaning of your words now, it seems that propaganda and reality are really two completely different things." ”
"But you don't have to worry," Seeing that Zhang Longchu was disgusted with the mountain people of Maibiqi, Aja's tone changed subtly: "Although the Shachongba family is exploited by the upper echelons of Maibiqi, it still has a certain deterrent effect on ordinary mountain people.
As long as they see my face, they will never dare to really offend. As he spoke, he dropped the window pane and poked his head out, looking around.
Sure enough, I saw Aja. After the appearance of Gu Zhilai's old face, the expressions of the villagers who were mostly like monkeys and had not fully evolved changed, although there was no fear, but the ferocity that was eyeing the tiger disappeared unconsciously, and no one continued to whisper anymore.
In this way, the car was able to move slowly and safely, and after passing through several villages and towns in similar conditions, it finally came to the ancestral home of the Shachong Ba family.
This is a manor covering an area of 1 square kilometer, in addition to the six vertical and horizontal bluestone paved flat roads, full of fruitful ancient fruit trees and all kinds of fragrant exotic flowers and plants;
Surrounded by antique stone walls, it is as strong as new despite centuries of age, just like the magnificent Sarawak stone hall built in the center of the manor.
"Ah, this place is as magnificent as the ruins of the imperial palaces of some small countries in ancient times, can it really be inhabited?" The car stopped in front of the stone hall, Zhang Longchu pushed the door and got out of the car, looked around, and unconsciously blurted out softly.
"My lord, although the ancestors of the Shachong Ba family did not manage the territory carefully because of the geographical location, the dignity of the royal family branch should still be taken into account." Hearing this, Aja replied in a plain but proud tone, and then his expression darkened again, "It's a pity that no matter how strong a family is, there will always be a day when it will decline."
Now that the Sachong Ba family is gone, this magnificent manor may soon be deserted. ”
"That's not necessarily, Aja is in charge..."A strange expression flashed on Zhang Longchu's face, "Anyway, we have been on the road all day, let's go inside and rest for a while." More on that later. Walking into the magnificent arches of the stone hall. Enter a semi-circular open-air courtyard.
The courtyard was already covered with dead leaves and flowers, covering the marble floor carved with intricate and beautiful patterns. Vaguely revealing a bit of dilapidation, its extended edge is enclosed by an endless jade corridor, and the circular corridor is also the doorway of the halls and stone houses.
"The main hall is where the head of the Shachong Ba family convenes advisers and ministers to discuss matters;
The side hall on the left is the daily life area of the head of the family;
The side hall on the right..."Aja, who walked into the courtyard after Zhang Longchu. Gu Zhilai pointed to the stone halls and houses hidden behind the clumsy, heavy mahogany gates.
"It's not really like a place where people live, but I like the sense of authority." Zhang Longchu thought silently in his heart, and when Aja finished speaking, he said considerately: "I went to the room where Astuo and Chifan went to entertain the guests to rest."
Before he finished speaking, he was not interrupted by Aja's respectful salute, "My lord, you are now the owner of this manor, how can you rest in the guest room."
Before sending out the servants. I ordered them to clean the left side hall spotlessly, please come with me. ”
"Okay, Asto, Chifan, you go to the guest room to rest, I'll go to the side hall, well, I'm going to go out alone for a few days to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Maibiqi Mountains, you can stay in the manor with Aja and wait for me." Zhang Longchu nodded and gave an order to his Indian driver and entourage, and then followed Aja towards the side hall by himself.
And know that the employer is a plane explorer who regards killing and warfare as his daily life. In a sense, they are just decorations, and they naturally can't care whether Zhang Longchu really wants to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains or has another purpose.
Although it was a dereliction of duty to let the protected person out of sight, the only thing they could do at this time was to look at each other with a wry smile and sigh. watched Zhang Longchu's figure disappear into the courtyard.
After that, time passed, and when the sun gradually set in the afternoon, Zhang Longchu walked out of the stone hall alone.
The next three days. After thoroughly understanding the reality of Sawong Pa's legacy and turning the idea into a rough plan. before returning to the manor.
According to his previous plan, Zhang Longchu wanted to return to the outskirts of Kuching on the same day. After the time rush period caused by the golden dice to the world of strange things, he didn't expect to be blocked by three unexpected guests, the magistrates of Shanzhong, Shannan, and Shanbei Autonomous Counties.
After a few days of traveling, he already knew a little about the situation in the whole of Maibiqi, and knew that the real power in this remote mountainous area was the three county magistrates, who were also the commanders of the defense forces in the nature of the militia, and the nominal chief executive and mayor of the municipality, who were just a respected puppet introduced by the compromise of various forces.
Similar political structures are not unique in Southeast Asia, and in fact the so-called autonomy from ancient times to the present day has meant a certain degree of local separation in many countries on the planet.
Originally, in Zhang Longchu's imagination, these were dressed as democratically elected chief executives. In fact, the chiefs of the serf society who ruled the people of the Maibiqi Mountains by violence and authority rather than law and proper social order must have been fierce and outwardly exposed, rude and domineering, but they did not expect that they had only guessed a third correctly.
In addition to Shannan's evil voice and fierce face, the other two Tu Si Wenwen looked quite educated, and when they introduced themselves, they were weird in addition to reporting the Malay name, Mudolang of Shanbei County;
In addition to Gu Tefansi in Shanzhong County, he also told Zhang Longchu in fluent English that he could directly call his English nicknames, Joe (Joe) and Jay (Jay), which made him have a strange feeling that he was meeting new friends in Los Angeles for a while.
