Chapter 864

Eastern Xinjiang

Mu Pingcheng

More and more foreigners have been wandering around the street. It seems that they are not professional compared with Dongchu businessmen. Dongchu businessmen will never leave their stalls before the end of the market, and these foreigners are not like doing business at all, but more like sightseeing.

Foreigners dressed in strange costumes in the eyes of Han people looked curiously at everything, streets, buildings, including people in Muping city. It's like Muping people looking at foreigners curiously, but the eyes of the two people are different. Muping locals look at foreigners with the eyes of seeing strange animals. Foreigners look at Mouping people with the eyes of seeing low animals.

The clothes of foreigners were secretly ridiculed by Mouping people. In particular, the swallow tailed coat and tight pants, and the big bag bulging on the crotch looked disgusting and barbaric. Foreigners' women's skeletons are generally large. They are wearing long skirts with shoulders exposed. The two things on their chest are bulging like white steamed bread just out of the pot, which has expanded to the extreme. Mouping men can't help thinking when they see it. What's the feeling of touching?

Because there are more and more foreigners, the market is not peaceful. The greatest advantage of Dongchu merchants was to abide by the laws of the great Sui Dynasty and dare not offend the Sui people. Therefore, there were so many merchants from the eastern Chu Dynasty in Muping City, and there was no vicious incident. However, since foreigners replaced the East Chu people, the public security in Muping has become worse and worse.

A while ago, a foreigner was dragged away by the merchant because he didn't pay for his things. The foreigner hardly hesitated. He took out a short gun from his waist and raised his hand with a shot. A blood hole was punched out in the merchant's leg and fell down mournfully. The street patrol captains and officers and soldiers quickly surrounded him. The foreigner was not afraid of the army, but shouted abuse, Controlled by the angry crowd, he was bound and sent to the government.

According to the previous rules of the great Sui Dynasty, foreigners who dare to make trouble on the territory of the great Sui Dynasty, no matter where they come from, will be sentenced according to the laws of the great Sui Dynasty. For example, in Fangu city in the northwest, the herdsmen from Mengyuan were also very fierce, but no one dared to make a random attack in front of the border army.

In any case, Li Xiaozong can still maintain the dignity of an empire. As long as he is found, any Mongolian Yuan people or other grassland people who make trouble will be dealt with immediately.

But this time it's a little different.

The foreigner who hurt the bartender was caught in the government. The magistrate of Mouping sentenced him to 30 boards in court and then went to prison to compensate the bartender. As a result, a group of officers and soldiers from the general's house rushed in and said that the general wanted to interrogate the foreigner in person and took the foreigner away.

The next day, someone saw the foreigner appear in the market and continue to look at the Sui people with disgusting eyes. The expression was like, what can you do with me?

Angry people surrounded his stall and asked the government to come forward and give an explanation. The Yamen of Mouping Prefecture rushed over and was also shocked. At this time, the soldiers of the general's house appeared again and drove away the people who surrounded the foreigners' booth with sticks. Unexpectedly, four soldiers were left to guard one side with wooden sticks until dark.

After this incident, there were many such incidents in Muping city.

Two days ago, two bearded foreigners openly dragged a young girl into an alley to commit misconduct in the street. The young girl resisted desperately, which attracted the Yamen patrolling the street. The Yamen was very angry and beat the two foreigners severely. Who would have thought that the next day, these yamen soldiers were paraded in the streets on charges of undermining diplomatic relations and friendship.

The whole Mouping was filled with a very depressing atmosphere.

And those foreigners are laughing wildly.

According to the laws of the great Sui Dynasty, no matter where people come from, they are not allowed to carry weapons as long as they enter the territory of the great Sui Dynasty. This is the rule of the great Sui Dynasty. However, in Muping, the foreigners wandering in the street have short guns in their waists and long swords with strange shapes, just like an extended iron nail.

Zuo mingchan sat on the window seat on the second floor of a teahouse. He looked into the street. Several peddlers carrying bulk cargo shouted to pass by. Some of them looked up. Zuo mingchan nodded quietly. The peddler immediately stepped up and left.

On the street, the owner of a small tavern was punched by a foreigner. The drunk foreigner scolded something while beating people, and the blood on the corner of the elderly tavern owner's mouth was so red. The crowd immediately gathered to point out. Some of the angry people came forward to theory, but they were held by their relatives. They lowered their voice and said that you mind your own business. Be careful that the people in the government catch you to swim the street!

This will wipe out the idea of being courageous.

The tavern owner was broken at the corner of his mouth, and the batter went away.

The foreigner staggered down the street, picked up a fruit from the nearby stall and chewed it in his mouth. The fruit seller opened his mouth and finally endured it.

It's only been a few months. Because of the presence of the general's military office, the pride of the local people in Muping was replaced by cowardice so soon.

Foreigners took a passing young woman to their arms. The young woman shouted in horror, but she couldn't get rid of it. People in the past watched the young woman being pulled by foreigners to a small alley, and their faces were expressionless. Just then, a vendor came over with something. It seemed that he accidentally knocked the foreigner over. The foreigner spat and cursed at the vendor.

The salesman hurried over, helped him up, and then smiled and said something. Seeing the flattery on the merchant's face, the onlookers' eyes were angry. The eyes clearly said that the merchant was a shameless scum! But I forgot that I was indifferent when I watched foreigners pull young women.

The peddler would say a few words from a foreigner and pointed to the alley. The foreigner immediately laughed and took the peddler inside.

When the salesman turned around, he made a gesture, and several salesmen walking with him immediately stepped into the alley first. Not far away, several yamen patrolling the street looked here. One of them whispered something in the constable's ear. The constable nodded slightly and then turned to the other side with people.

……

……

In the alley, a group of salesmen punched and kicked the foreigner over. Because his mouth was blocked with rags, the foreigner could only send out a weak cry for help. The salesmen acted very quickly. After putting down the foreigner, they punched the harm, and the foreigner fainted immediately.

On the other side of the alley, several yamen soldiers who came around looked at this scene. The Yamen who reminded the constable turned and asked, "do you want to catch it?"

The constable glared at him: "catch a fart, I didn't see anything."

Then he turned and left. Several other yamen servants looked at each other, and then one by one they either looked at the sky or looked at their own feet: "I heard that Lao Chen's family had a baby yesterday. After a while, we went to his house to have a look and feel happy?"

"OK, OK, take a few kilograms of eggs."

"Another big cock!"

"Count me in"

On weekdays, the serious and rigid Constable turned back and said, but his expressionless appearance was not a little frightening in the past. The Yamen servants were stunned and laughed. The constable took out the money bag from his arms and handed it to one of the Yamen servants: "buy some more red dates, don't buy big cocks, buy some black chickens, and then buy some crucian carp."

"Ouch, boss, you are an expert."

A yamen servant said with a smile.

The constable glared at him fiercely, and then he laughed: "patrol the street! Patrol the street! It's peaceful today, brothers, don't slack off. In the future, if you encounter such peace today, just smile, okay?"

"I see!"

The Yamen servants nodded neatly.

In the alley, the salesmen watched the Yamen leave and smiled. Then they put the foreigner in a sack and carried him out of the alley.

Zuo mingchan stood up from the second floor, settled the silver and left. First, he strolled in the street for a while, specially passed by the gate of the general's house of Yang Shunhui, and found several carriages parked outside the general's house. It can be seen from the expression on the coachman's face that the people who hired them were obviously not well received. Therefore, Zuo mingchan speculated that they must be foreigners.

He seemed to wander aimlessly around the street for a while, and then returned to the shop where the goods all went down. When the shopkeeper Zhou Mingli saw him coming back, he immediately ordered people to close the shop in advance: "close early today, and there's no business to do."

The boy quickly closed the door and was glad to have an early rest.

Zuo mingchan and Zhou Mingli looked at each other and walked into the backyard one after another. In the backyard firewood room, the beaten foreigner, who was almost humanoid, woke up after pouring a bucket of cold water. He looked at the several big men in front of him who couldn't help shrinking back. His eyes were full of fear.

Zhou Mingli walked in separately and frowned after looking at the foreigner: "how did it happen?"

Without waiting for his men to explain, he said solemnly, "it's so light!"

His men immediately laughed, and someone went up and immediately made up for it. The foreigner choked on his chest and could hardly breathe. The foreigner drew back hard for fear of being beaten again.

"Your name is dekri, from the opru Empire, right?"

Zhou Mingli asked, what I really didn't expect was that his foreigner's words were so good. However, as a steward in Muping City, he can't afford to sit still.

"Now I give you two choices. First, what I ask you, what you answer truthfully, you live. Second, you can not answer anything I ask, you die."

Dexley's face was as white as paper and nodded at once.

"Was Dongchu destroyed by your opru Empire?"

Asked Zhou Mingli.

Dekley was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know."

Poof

The left chirping cicada standing on one side pulled out a horizontal knife from the waist of the Xiaoqi school around him as fast as lightning, and cut off dekeli's left hand with a knife. Before he could wail, a brave cavalry school quickly blocked dirkley's mouth with a rag, and the wail turned into a dull hum. The blood gushed out of his wrist wound, and the next second dekri fainted in pain.

It was another bucket of cold water. When Dirk woke up, the first thing he saw was the bright knife.

"Yes!"

When he saw the knife shaking again, he didn't wait for someone to ask and immediately replied, "the army of the opru Empire has invaded the eastern Chu. If there is no accident, the Lyman emperor is now standing in the imperial palace of the eastern Chu state."

Zhou Mingli's face changed: "how many troops have come to attack the East Chu opru Empire?"

"I really don't know."

Dekeli looked at Zhou Mingli with begging eyes: "we just received the order of Archduke shurens to confuse your Han Army and make you think we really just want to trade. I don't know about the military, but... If you don't kill me, I'll tell you who knows!"

"OK"

Zhou Mingli promised very simply: "tell me, I let you live."

"Marquis Cleo is in the house of Yang Shunhui. He is the representative of grand duke shurens. He knows very well! He is about 60 years old, with a hunchback and glasses. If you have seen him, you will know that I am not lying!"

With these words, declley suddenly realized something. He said a little more.

Zhou Mingli turned and walked out. Then a Xiaoqi school took out a knife and went to dekeli. Dekeli wailed: "you promised not to kill me, you can't be unreasonable!"

Zhou Mingli looked back at him: "stupid man, do you think I will reason with the enemy? If you bite to death and don't say what the Marquis Cleo looks like, I will not kill you for the time being. It's all your own stupidity... Break his hands and feet and throw him into the sea. Some greedy fish will come over."
