Chapter 44: Overheard Something

Nie Li heard a very stiff Xia language, mixed with the dialect of the footbasin chicken, and immediately frowned, and did not speak, Jardine Wharf is a foreign wharf, it is normal to have foreigners,

But why come so late to load and unload the cargo?

Nie Li stopped, waved his left hand slightly, and Guo Xing and the others stopped.

Prick up your ears and listen to the conversation.

I only heard a flattering voice, mixed with a flattering smile, "Ono-kun, please rest assured, these people are the best workers we are looking for in Shendu, and things are absolutely handled with care!" ”

Listening to such flattery, Nie Li's brows furrowed even deeper.

I couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in my heart, which was the sadness of the times and the sorrow of the empire.

Nie Li's empire, called the Shuiqing Empire, as a nation of foreigners who have entered the Central Plains, although it has occupied the country for more than three hundred years, the fear of the local Xia people is engraved in the bones, so in the past three hundred years, the Shuiqing Empire has either been on the road of foolishness, or in foolishness, so that the nation that has been leading the blue star for thousands of years has fallen off the altar in just one hundred years.

A king, stiffly pitted into bronze.

In order to suppress the creativity and fighting spirit of the Xia people, a chief was set up in each village, all of whom were served by the local landlord class, and a 'pigtail uncle' with a money rat tail would be stationed to take care of it.

Even, some women's home page rights (river defense) have to obey this pigtail uncle.

The most outrageous thing is that there was once an emperor in the Shuiqing Empire, who liked to go down to the south of the Yangtze River and whitewash the peace, but in the same year, there was a great revolution in Western countries and industrial textile machines appeared.

...

To put it more appropriately, bronze level training, take the king number to play, and finally lose.

This has also led to the disintegration of the empire today, warlords are everywhere, and people of insight have begun to break out of the shackles of thought and resist the Shuiqing Empire.

The central parliament, which symbolizes the supreme power, is also the 'gladiatorial arena' of warlords in various places.

The royal family of the Shuiqing Empire is in the same vein, in name only.

However, there are always those who are unwilling, and it is said that somewhere, there is a self-proclaimed "pigtailed handsome", and the meaning of his existence is to regain the glory of the empire.

But more royalty survived by selling their ancestral property.

Gold and stone calligraphy and painting, ancient porcelain, anything can be sold.

However, a foreigner who doesn't know where to come from, has no cultural heritage, where does he have any ancestral property? The so-called ancestral property is nothing more than the accumulation of thousands of years on this land.

Once they gained power, they became their 'ancestral property'.

For these people, Nie Li despised them from the bottom of his heart, because in his former world, there were also similar groups of people.

So hearing the conversation between the two, Nie Li frowned and stopped.

Listen carefully.

"This batch of goods is the best gift for the president, and if you need it in the future, the small ones can also be connected in series to provide goods! Not to mention, those old and young people are not having a good time now. ”

The man who had just spoken, laughing.

The one known as Ono-kun immediately smiled.

Thumbs up: "Yours, great good people!" ”

"Yes, Ono-kun!"

The more Nie Li listened, the more uncomfortable he became.

What kind of people are these people, he guesses that this so-called goods are those inestimable cultural treasures, which were actually sold to other countries by this group of thieves?

However, then Nie Li was relieved, it was not unusual for these people to do such a thing.

After all, the last queen mother of the empire once said a 'wise saying': "I would rather be with friends than with domestic slaves", and it is not very surprising that such a pearl and jade seems to be like this.

But he Nie Li is destined to be nosy today, no way, who made him feel good?

He couldn't turn a blind eye to the outflow of treasures, even if it wasn't the world he was from.

Snorted coldly, and said to Guo Xing: "Send a few brothers over, find out the bottom, and see whose ship it is!" What kind of goods are being shipped! ”

Although there was a bit of speculation in my mind, a guess was a guess after all.

Then he said to Ma Wu: "Don't drive the lights, let's wait here!" ”

Of course, Ma Wu listened to the eldest brother.

Blowing the evening breeze, the 100 or so little brothers who followed Nie Li to trade waited in the dark.

The autumn sea breeze is blowing, not to mention that it is quite smelly.

Salty.

In less than twenty minutes, Guo Xing came over, his face was very angry.

"Big brother, it's the one who is the foot pot chicken! What was traded was some books, as well as ancient paintings. ”

"The guards around are not strict, it shouldn't be the first time to do it, they haven't done the basic secret sentinels!"

Guo Xing was a little angry, in this land, in exchange for my country's national treasures, didn't he even do the least cover-up?

Who is this to look down on?

Nie Li's cold face, pale in the moonlight, is probably angry.

"Go, quietly, send someone to me to snatch things back for me, all the people who traded are sinking into the river, and those laborers tell them to get out of here!"

"By the way, be careful to disguise your identity! Bring a face towel! ”

Guo Xingma glanced at each other.

There was a smile on his face.

"Got it, big brother, look at it!"

Nie Li nodded: "I don't know about this, if you go out of the way, be careful that I will stuff it back for you!" ”

Guo Xing and the two shuddered.

Stuff it back, where can it go?

Not in the system yet?

Ma Wu and the others hurriedly shook their heads, never wanting to go back to that dark place again.

Zhengse said: "I know big brother!" ”

With that, Nie Li walked back to Wanhe with the people.

The cars were left, including the car that had just delivered to Lu Tiansheng, all of them were left.

At the same time, a message was secretly sent telling those who were standing guard and patrolling not to evacuate.

These people were all summoned by Nie Li, at least they wouldn't leak secrets, and only those who could leak secrets were those laborers, but if Nie Li went directly to kill this group of laborers, he couldn't do it.

Maybe he hasn't grown into a qualified boss yet.

On the way back, none of the younger brothers dared to speak, and they always felt that the eldest brother was not in a good mood, so they all followed Nie Li quietly on the street.

From time to time, the figure of the dark whistle swayed, indicating that the Jinghai District is now under control.

All the way back to Wanhe, Nie Licai waved his hand: "Let's rest, Zhang Long, you wait for Ma Wu and them." ”

Zhang Long clenched his fists and retreated.

Nie Li walked towards his small courtyard, the Xu sisters didn't sleep tonight, today is also a complicated day for them, and finally met the fourth miss of the Zhao family who had been on the phone for a long time.

Although they had a good conversation, Zhao Danqing also made the two sisters feel pressure

is worthy of the graceful Miss Zhao Si.

Although it looks like a spring breeze, the demeanor of a lady still makes her sister Xu Ruyue a little scared.
