Almost at the same time, there were 7 people with their watches in their arms, and they rushed to Wei Zhongxian's house at high speed.

At this moment, the capital is approaching evening, and the pedestrians on the street are gradually increasing, especially in the downtown area, the voices of people are vibrating, rubbing shoulders one after another, people are crowding, people are watching people, it is very noisy and lively.

These seven people are all familiar with the terrain, interspersed left and right in the gaps of people, advancing and retreating, as solid and flexible as a moray eel.

There was a large group of people chasing behind, and the wealthy shopkeepers shouted to all the neighbors and families, shouting to catch the thief while chasing. But with this shout, passers-by stopped to watch, and the originally moving crowd stopped and blocked them all in place.

The missionaries were even more embarrassed, strangely dressed, and in great urgency, they shouted Sicilian, Neapolitan, Florentine, Milan-Genoese, Barcelona, and Breton......

In short, they may not understand each other, and now they are all in white clothes and red necks, jumping around in the crowd, causing laughter.

There are a few other rich people who are out of breath, and after thinking about it, is it worth it?

A rich man patted his head and said, "Hurry up and report to the official!" I know the people who patrol the city and the five cities and the soldiers and horses. ”

This group of merchants and wealthy families hurriedly went to find the soldiers and horses of the nearby five cities, and just saw that someone wanted to ask them for help, they saw two brocade guards suddenly burst out, and said very seriously:

"This is a big matter, involving the royal family and foreign countries, and we Jinyiwei have taken it!"

Jinyiwei is good! There are brocade guards out of the horse, and they are sure to let those guys be caught.

Then the two brocade guards got lost with them......

On the other side, the missionaries chased with red necks one by one, riveting their hearts, but there were people in front of them, and they just couldn't catch up

Sometimes when I see the other party holding something too heavy, I take a breath and rest in front, and rush over so violently, and suddenly the shelves of the shop next to me collapse, stumbling over them.

I saw that I could touch it with my hand, but a passerby suddenly appeared, suddenly blindfolded from behind, and said with a smile: "Guess who I am~"

"Who?" Some missionaries were honest and really tried to guess which acquaintance it was, but they said, "Oops! Recognize the wrong ......" and disappear without a trace.

Long Huamin was furious and roared: "My pocket watch is given by the Pope himself!" Whoever catches it back, I told the Pope to give it a piece too! ”

These red necks are even more energetic, but they can't catch up with them.

One of them was clever, remembering that he had climbed over the watchtower on the battleship, so he climbed up the building next to him with three or two hands and feet, and jumped on the roof of the house to chase after him.

Seeing that the chase is getting closer and closer, he has to pounce down and snatch back the chiming bell.

Just as he passed by the window on the second floor, which was covered with reddish-purple silk, the room was even more decorated like a dream, and the incense was almost intoxicating.

"Come and play~"

"Come and be happy~"

The crisp and pleasant voice surrounded him, and several gorgeous young women dragged him directly into the room as soon as he pulled him along~

"Oops, it's still red~"

"Hee-hee-hee~The golden retriever is quite prickly~"

The young ladies laughed, and then fell silent.

Long Huamin, who knew Chinese, couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard it on the street, he was just one step away, how could this be......

They continued to chase, panting and steaming all over, and finally chased in front of a house.

"Wait a minute!" After all, Long Huamin is the current leader of the missionaries in China, and when he looks up, he sees that the Forbidden City is not far in front of him.

"This street...... Stayed many eunuchs ......"

He had just been bleeding in blood, and now he had fallen into the ice cave all of a sudden, and the tender little pink on his face suddenly turned pale, and then after a while, his face darkened, and he knocked on the door.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, father-in-law!"

This voice is very loud in Chinese, and it is very urgent, and it looks like there is something important to find.

The door opened a crack, and the housekeeper poked out first, and said in a low voice, "I don't know." So he closed the door.

Long Huamin and others rushed up and slapped vigorously on the door panel, and if there were people in the house, they had to get to the bottom of it.

The door opened again, and this time it was Wang Hongyu who poked his head out and glanced at everyone.

Yes, there are 7 missionaries here, and the leader with a great voice is Long Huamin~

"Are you looking for something?" Wang Hongyu opened the door halfway to let the missionaries take a look at the courtyard.

At this glance, I saw clocks, pocket watches, and chiming bells, all of which were placed on the ground, including those they carried, and their eyes were straight.

"Nothing...... Wang Hongyu closed the door again.

Wow!

The missionaries were so anxious that they saw that their watch was inside.

"Open the door! Open the door! Long Huamin shouted and begged.

"Father-in-law, he has a migraine~"

Father-in-law, he has a migraine......

What does this mean, it's all Chinese, how can you read it together and don't understand what it means?

Long Huamin's face turned green this time, he was familiar with the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and knew that this was a eunuch asking for a bribe in disguise.

Father-in-law had a headache and said that the silver taels were not heavy enough.

It's blatant blackmail, aren't you afraid that we will denounce it!

"You are a black household, I will not take the initiative to report it, but please keep a low profile~" Wang Hongyu seemed to see through their thoughts and said this from inside.

"What should I do!?" The missionary was so anxious that he directly held the cross and prayed, only Long Huamin thought of Xu Guangqi and might be able to solve the matter by bringing him in.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head, Xu Guangqi's current position is not high, and he must be low-key, otherwise he will lose the opportunity to rise to the top in the future.

"Listen, how much does it cost two taels of silver? We can't scrape it together so quickly, but we have the money! ”

Really good~

Wang Hongyu was about to laugh out loud behind the door panel, in the forty-eighth year of Wanli, aren't the biggest fat sheep just a few of you?

But I'm not in a hurry to slaughter, I have to learn to enclose the exercise, so that the sheep people can have a "sheep eat foreign" and have a good handful.

"You misunderstood~ Father-in-law, he just loves clocks, you can get enough heavy enough clocks, lend it to us and pay it back~"

I only love clocks and watches...... Enough heavy clocks...... Borrow......

There's a way!

Doesn't our makeshift meeting place have a big grandfather clock?

Who's who's home, didn't they just buy a chiming clock from Ho Jing O?

You, you, and you, I remember all clocks, all of them!

The missionaries got into action, and in less than an hour they gathered a large grandfather clock and four self-striking bells.

This time the door opened for them, and everyone came in with clocks, and they were all relieved to see that the pocket watches and clocks were all in good condition one by one.

"Click!"

Wang Hongyu closed the door, locked the brass tightly, and put on a bucket-thick deadbolt.

He smiled and said, "It's all here, let's start~"
