Chapter 109 Inside the lobby!
Goshha's shouting, the noise in the whole lobby disappeared in an instant, some of the dead silence, and a breath of panic spread in the lobby.
"Pret it up." Fu Kang'an, who was sitting in the main seat, opened his mouth with a standard Beijing film. His voice was not loud. With his three sps of long beard, he looked a little thin, which made people feel that he was more like a scribe who read poetry than a decisive general.
However, the light emitted from the narrow single eyelid eyes, as well as the murderous spirit and majesty washed on the battlefield all year round, always reminding the officials present that he is the master here.
"Yes!" Goshha stepped forward quickly and presented the military newspaper with both hands. Fu Kang'an received it in his hand. After opening it, the seemingly happy and angry face couldn't help showing a trace of doubt, which was unbelievable. He subconsciously glanced at Pan Youdu, who was not far away.
Feeling Fu Kang'an's sharp eyes, Pan Youdu couldn't help but jump slightly, and his eyes were overflowing with a slight smile. Presumably, the news in the military newspaper must have a close relationship with the young master Liang, which showed that the boy finally made a grand appearance.
"Marshal, but the pirates are in our state and county." After seeing Fu Kang'an's expression, the governor of Guangzhou, he felt as if a basin of cold water poured down from his head, and the first one couldn't wait to stand up.
Fu Kang'an glanced at the magistrate indifferently and handed the military newspaper to the bodyguard beside him: "Try it out, so that you don't think there is any bad news."
"Chong!" The guard with a knife took over the military newspaper and read it aloud.
As soon as I heard the news from the military newspaper, all of a sudden, the hall, which was originally a little suffocated, suddenly boiled again.
"... Captured more than a dozen people, including Owen and Molly, the chiefs of the Xiyi Sea, captured three Xiyi warships, dozens of cannons, and countless firearms and swords..." The guard with a knife continued to read the military newspaper loudly without any influence, and the loud voice spread inside and outside the lobby.
Those officials and gentlemen who participated in the Fukang's birthday banquet were all talking about it. They never thought that the Qinghai merchant who had been popular during this period defeated Owen, the head of the Xiyi pirates, who even the sailors had to run for his life. It turned out to be true.
Several foreign envoys who came to congratulate each other also stared, kept picking out their ears, and stammered to communicate with their companions, as if they were afraid that they had heard it wrong.
--------------------
The eyes of several generals present suddenly turned red, panting like ** bulls, and the fire of jealousy burned in their chests. This seaman not only defeated, but also captured the famous enemy chief alive. How could such a great skill not fall on their heads? Not to mention the reward of 30,000 taels, this military merit alone is enough to make them move their buttocks up again, and maybe they can change the title of wife and cute son.
Seeing this scene, Fu Kang'an couldn't help showing a smile on the corners of his mouth. He actually received such good news at his birthday banquet. Isn't it a good omen and what is it? Moreover, he really didn't expect that it was Liang Pengfei, a sea merchant who had to donate to the martial arts position of a water master.
"Come on, let Liang Peng fly to see the governor quickly, and drag those Xiyi thieves and chiefs in. I really want to see what kind of person Owen is who crossed the South Ocean and defeated my Great Clear Water Master." Fu Kang'an was about to stand up, as if he felt a little inappropriate. He sat back and told Goshha, who had just come in to report.
After a while, he heard the reputation of singing from outside. Under the gaze of countless eyes in those gates, Liang Pengfei took care of the brand-new lake silk robe on his clothes, picked up his front and walked forward. Behind him was a team of fully armed Guangdong sailors, escorting the leaders of seven Xiyi pirates, and behind him. There were also several soldiers holding the box, and there was a faint smell of lime in the cracks in the box. The soldier holding the box did not look very good. It seemed that the things in the box made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Is this the Liang Pengfei who defeated the Xiyi pirates?" Guangdong Customs supervised Erdengbu to play with the jasper in his hand, with a playful smile on the corners of his mouth. Next to him, his nephew, Guangzhou magistrate, Lengge li, also looked at the proud teenager who came into the door with his eyes.
"Exactly." Cai Shiwen subconsciously clenched his teeth, and his eyes were full of coldness in surprise.
"It's really young enough. Such a person can make Brother Cai suffer a small loss. Ha ha, it's worthy of being a newborn calf." Guangdong customs supervisor Erdengbu curled his lips and said disapprovingly.
Hearing this, Cai Shiwen's mood was extremely depressed, but he could only accompany him with a smiling face. Whoever let the Guangdong Customs supervise was not a person he could afford to offend. Even if the governor of Guangzhou saw the master from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he had to be polite. Who made him the emperor's domestic slave? You know, he was in charge of the customs. All of them must come from the yellow flag and be favored by the emperor. Because most of the money from the customs has to flow into the emperor's pocket.
"Is that him?" In another corner, a thin middle-aged man in a second-grade robe was whispering to Pan Youdu beside him. This is Guo Shixun, the governor of Guangdong. He was originally a man of the red flag of the Han army. In the 54th year of Qianlong, he was promoted to the governor of Guizhou and transferred Guangdong to the governor of Guangzhou.
"It's this person." Pan Youdu saw Liang Pengfei's calm and calm expression. In the face of so many high-ranking officials, he was not in the mood at all. The pace under his feet was still firm and powerful. He did not have to hold a folding fan in his hand like those literati, but the fluttering gown, straight figure, handsome. And a calm face, those deep and hidden eyes with a kind smile. It makes people feel that this is not like a warrior who can reach out to catch thieves, but like a literati who is full of poetry and books.
"Good demeanor, a virtuous brother is really good at knowing people." Guo Shixun couldn't help praising, and the smile on Pan Youdu's face seemed to be a little thicker.
"Liang Pengfei, a grass-sband, has met the commander-in-chief of Liangguang." Liang Pengfei stepped into the lobby in the whispers of everyone, allowing the attention of those pairs of eyes to calmly bow down.
"Are you Liang Pengfei, the young master of the Hailian line who captured the thief's chief?" Looking at this young man with a strong but indescribable elegant style, Fu Kang'an couldn't help but feel a trace of relief in his heart. It seemed that Pan Youdu really didn't see the wrong person and recommended a young hero to himself. With this humble and arrogant demeanor alone, how many people present could reach him?
You know, Fu Kang'an himself was also a young and famous hero. When he saw the teenager in front of him, he couldn't help thinking of his old years, and it was the same. Since then, he was favored by Qianlong and rose all the way. He was not confused, so he was a high class, and there was a trace of a past in his eyes. Memories of the past.
"It's the grass people." Liang Pengfei buried his head deeper. Although he seemed to be so respectful, he didn't know how many times he had greeted the ancestors of Fukang'an in his heart. Young Master Liang knelt down to his parents and ancestors in his previous life, but he did not bow to the official, but now he has to kneel here honestly.
"Your grandma, kneeling down today is for my future and plan. In the future, I will let you know who will be the longest owner of this land."
Just as Liang Pengfei was full of resentment, Fu Kang'an said again, "Get up and let me have a good look."
"Thank you, Marshal Fu." Liang Pengfei did not dare to lose his courtesy. After thanking him respectfully, he stood up neatly and stood with his hands down, but his head did not hang low like ordinary people, but raised, without a trace of fear and fear.
--------------------
Some officials couldn't help but have a trace of displeasure on their faces. Isn't this guy too arrogant?" The governor of Guangzhou, the governor, had a greasy expression. At this time, Cai Shiwen seemed to be a little surprised and said, "Your Excellency, it seems unreasonable for this boy to do this?"
"What do you mean?" He was really stunned by Cai Shiwen's words. Just as Cai Shiwen whispered in his ear, at this time, the leaders of the seven Xiyi pirates were all escorted to the lobby. A smell of rotten musty made the faces of a group of civil servants change color, especially when they saw the terrible scars on the Xiyi pirates and the pus wounds, several of them simply covered. He rushed out of the lobby with his mouth.
The corners of Fu Kang'an's mouth were pulled slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile. His eyes fell on these Xiyi pirates. The first thing he saw was a silver hair and an unyaky Owen. His originally decent face is now distorted like a demon crawling out of hell. The resentful gray eyes stared at Liang Pengfei next to him. If his eyes had been converted into lethality, Liang Pengfei would have turned into flying ashes.
However, at present, Liang Pengfei turned a blind eye to the white-headed Owen at all, but looked at the white-headed Owen with an almost appreciative look. It seemed that they admired their tenacious vitality. They were cut so many knives on their bodies and could still survive after being immersed in the sea for so long. Come on, I have to admit that the limit of human beings is the most incredible.
However, there are also people who can't stand it, so Liang Pengfei can only cut off their heads and send them together in the box.
"Is he Owen the white-headed man of the Xiyi thief?" Fu Kang'an motioned the nearest Portuguese envoy to his side and asked in astringent Latin.
The Portuguese envoy couldn't wait for a long time. He stood forward and carefully recognized them one by one. The other Western businessmen also looked forward with hatred and surprise.
