Chapter 1011: deal with

Compared with the beaming atmosphere of Guangzhou people, foreigners are a little scared. I wonder if Daqi has changed their policies. At this time, everyone's expectation of Daqi has changed from reducing or exempting tariffs to not increasing tariffs and opening up. At the port, they went to the Municipal Shipping Division and the government office to inquire about the news.

Fan Zijin raised his eyebrows in surprise when he received the news, "This is a surprise."

"My lord, the Portuguese envoy is here again. He has come to ask us what to do with Pedro and a group of prisoners, and whether we can hand it over to their own country. Also, the Portuguese envoy hopes that any illegal and criminal incident involving the Portuguese will be dealt with in the future. It's up to them to be convicted."

Fan Zijin laughed angrily, "What a big face."

Fan Zijin did not have the idea of ​​judicial independence, but he knew the consequences of letting a foreigner point fingers at the laws of Daqi.

Fan Zijin said directly: "Call out directly, and then send someone to the Foreigner Guild Hall to inquire about the identity of the Portuguese envoy, and say we suspect that he is a fake envoy."

Yan Mo, who was standing on the side, was embarrassed for a moment. He felt that the master's move was cruel enough, and the servants who were on duty were also taken aback for a moment, and then quietly retreated, so the prefect asked them to check the documents in the hands of the envoys?

That is really a great shame, the envoys of so many countries, only the Portuguese envoys have been re-examined.

But don't blame your lord, the envoy was too blind. While fighting with the prefect, he spent a lot of money to bribe the officials below. Little did they know that as soon as they left, the officials held things in front of the prefect. , Turn it in honestly, everyone knows that Prince Rong hates corrupt officials the most, and Mr. Fan's eyes are as bright as the sun, who would dare to play tricks under their hands?

Although the prefect has half of the storage, and the other half will be distributed to the people below, no one is grateful to the Portuguese envoy. Who knows when the people below will cramp and intercept, and it will definitely be another turmoil at that time.

Two years ago, for collaborating with pirates, one third of the officials in Guangdong were killed and taken away. Until now, the staffing of officials is still incomplete, and they do not want to experience another turmoil.

The clerk took people to the foreigner's club, but Fan Zijin began to think about how to deal with the prisoners. They couldn't kill everyone. If they wanted to kill Haoran on the island, they could just chop them down, but if they didn't kill them, they couldn't. It's been closed, how much food does it cost?

But if exile is not appropriate, these foreigners are different from the Han people, and when they arrive in a barbaric exile, either they are burned to death, or they murdered and escaped, so Fan Zijin became distressed.

Why don't we still use Haoran's method, drag the people who have killed the Daqi people to the beach and chop them up, and let the Portuguese redeem the people who haven't killed them?

Fan Zijin's plan was good, but it was useless, because the Portuguese envoy was unwilling to redeem other pirates except Pedro, but the problem was that Fan Zijin never thought of letting Pedro go, and to redeem one person, he still killed Da Qi Man, what about the rest of the pirates?

But the Portuguese envoy was obviously also provoked by his series of methods. The dead pig was not afraid of boiling water and said that he had no money, so he could only try his best to redeem Pedro.

Fan Zijin went home angrily, only to find that his wife and children were not at home. He angrily asked the housekeeper, "Where are the madam and the young masters?"

Butler Xia lowered his head and whispered, "Yan Zhizhou's family is holding a chrysanthemum banquet, and my wife has brought the seven young masters to the banquet."

Fan Zijin was stunned and asked, "How much?"

"Seven," Xia Guanjia said, "Madam originally only wanted to take the five young masters, but the eldest son and Qi Shizi heard that the storyteller at the banquet wanted to say that the king was arrogant. Go, Madam will bring it with you."

Fan Zijin twitched the corners of his mouth. Several children had recently become addicted to storytelling. Every day after class, they would go to the teahouse. After listening to a story of Qi Haoran's heroic killing of the enemy, he would come back to learn from them. At first, they could still laugh. But after two days, they were tired of listening, those jokes were nonsense when they heard it, but a few children believed it.

"What about the prince?"

Butler Xia thought for a while and said, "I didn't see the prince going out today."

Fan Zijin turned around and went to look for someone next door.

Qi Haoran was holding Mu Yangling and wanted to do something wrong. Hearing Lichun's reply, Qi Haoran lay down on Mu Yangling's body and said angrily, "What is the matter with Zijin in the afternoon?"

Mu Yangling pushed him away and said, "Let's go take a look, maybe there is something urgent."

Qi Haoran mumbled and put on his clothes and went to meet people in front of him. Hearing that he came here for just such a thing, he was immediately dissatisfied: "What is this important thing, you need to come in person? Just ask someone to ask. "

"Yo, this is really big. You have an idea early in the morning. King Rong, tell me, let me hear your opinion." Fan Zijin watched with tea in his spare time. he.

Qi Haoran said proudly: "I made a plan a long time ago, Pedro would not kill him, let the Portuguese envoys redeem it with gold and silver treasures."

Fan Zijin frowned, "It's not a simple role for Pedro to dominate the Guangdong sea area for more than ten years. This time you were caught off guard by killing him. If you can catch a turtle in the urn, you may not have such luck next time. Haoran, you fought hard, but the people below are not as capable as you, and you will leave Guangdong sooner or later, when there is such a poisonous snake outside, it will not be good for us in Daqi."

"I know, but because Pedro is so powerful, I'm reluctant to kill him at once."

Fan Zijin's brows furrowed even tighter, "When did you like to play with this kind of flower stand?"

Although Fan Zijin is conscious of being smart, he is never arrogant. When he encounters an enemy, he can be crushed to death in a sprouting state. Let go of each other with boring thoughts such as raising rivals.

Qi Haoran said: "If I can kill Andre now, I will definitely kill Pedro."

"What does this have to do with Andre?"

"It didn't matter before, but now there is," Qi Haoran's eyes were a little cold, "You know, Andre and Pedro competed, but also cooperated. Pedro said that Andre not only bribed Guangdong officials, but even There are some connections with officials in the capital. Pedro's count is not a secret, but none of you would have thought that Andre was named an earl in Spain, and even businessmen in their own country didn't know what he wanted to do. ?"

Fan Zijin pondered.

Qi Haoran snorted coldly, "Pedro said that the reason why he asked the Portuguese envoy to propose leasing the land in Daqi was because Andre wanted to lease the land very much. He didn't understand the key, but he thought it was not easy. I want to kill Pedro and then kill Andre, but Pedro said that after more than 20 years, Andre's business in Daqi has gone deep into the mainland, and no one knows how many his spies are there, and he Will these resources be left to Spain? I also think about it. If we kill Andre at this time, then it will be more difficult for us to pull out those nails. At that time, I just pretended to be angry and told him that I could So the accurate reason for going to the island is because of the information provided by Andre. He has spies on the island. Pedro believes at least 80% of my words. If I let him go, do you think he will seek revenge on me or find security? Derek?"
